Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity

Chapter 557: Chapter 395: Fearful Divine Power, Exotic Portal_2

He was extremely wrong, wrong beyond belief, completely and utterly wrong.

The Master of Liu Village didn’t annihilate the Ruined Immortal Palace due to luck or chance. It also wasn’t because the mysterious lady in white had contributed. Instead, the enemy had indeed become outrageously powerful.

Now, all he could rely on was the ancient warship beneath his feet.

This ancient warship, which had drifted out from the forbidden area, had no offensive strategies, but it excelled in speed. It vastly outperformed ordinary conveyances and could reach an unbelievably fast speed in mere moments; like shrinking the ground to mere inches. Otherwise, it would not be used to transport ores particularly.

“Quick! Have you all not eaten? Activate the ancient ship in full force; we need to leave this place at once.” The young man shouted loudly, with eyes furious red. He expressed menacingly while orders were passed down swiftly. Suddenly, a multitude of servants around him began to act.

However, just as the young man’s voice fell.

A vast obstruction suddenly assaulted from the rear of the ancient ship, causing the entire ship to stutter. Afterwards, countless decks erupted, fragile as if made of paper. A corner of the ancient ship was obliterated under the sudden immense pressure and shattered into pieces. Runes scattered, sparks and arcs ran wild, leaving behind a burnt black scene everywhere.

And, that massive force managed to pull the ancient ship back.

In a moment, the ship was filled with cries of despair, and some servants from the royal family were swept away by the erupting deck fragments, bloodied and brimming with fright…

The young man was completely dumbfounded, his heart shrouded by an unprecedented despair. He was from the Eternal Family, particularly the head of the royal family. His usual life was one where he was fawned upon. Even ancient royal emperors wished to pay him respect. But now, he had no control over his own life anymore.

This stark contrast between his past and present life left him incredibly shocked. He couldn’t believe that anyone in this world would dare oppose the Eternal Family. Were they not afraid of the family’s future revenge?

His clan has been the revered family that had given birth to Eternal Beings!

“Elder, this young one begs for your forgiveness, I promise I wouldn’t dare again. Initially, I thought that the Void Beast was lying.”

From a nearby area, loud crying suddenly rang out clearly.

That was the man exploding with thunderous energy.

At this moment, the man was weeping unceasingly, and kneeling on the remaining deck of the ancient ship, genuinely frightened to tears. His hard-earned cultivation was not a simple task. Joining the royal family was no more than an attempt to benefit from its power, not expecting his accumulated experiences of tens of thousands of years to be ruined suddenly, all his dreams shattered into nothing.

“Capital punishment might be avoided, but the offense can’t be overlooked!”

Amid the world, a voice, vast and filled with majesty, resonated.

Eventually, Jiang Hui did not kill anyone from the royal family. He merely wrecked the ancient warship into bits and broke the limbs of both the man with thunderous energy and the young master of the royal family.

It’s worth mentioning that the young master was still in a daze when the punishment was being carried out, only to be awakened by the intense pain resembling tidal waves.

Although the punishment seemed severe, these injuries were, in fact, not grave for the young man and the man with thunderous energy. Especially the man, he could regenerate his limbs with his cultivation, and as for the young master, healing wasn’t a difficulty given the skillset of the royal family.

Thus, the penalty of limb severance was more of a stern warning, leaving room for reconciliation.

There were no direct conflicts between Jiang Hui and the royal family, and there was no necessity for Jiang Hui to make an enemy of the Liu village. Furthermore, the strength of the royal family wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface. The royal family could even interact with some beings from the Immortal Domain, and their presence is even found in the Alien Territory.

At the moment, it’s the time for fast-paced development in Liu Village. There weren’t any indispensable competing interests between him and the royal family. Whatever route the royal family chose to take was of no concern to him nor Liu Village.

He wasn’t a messenger of justice, not before, and wouldn’t be in the future. Thus, there was no need for a life or death struggle. A lesson would suffice.

Of course, how the royal family thought after that was their business. If they wished to battle, he certainly won’t be scared. The nine dragons of the royal family, even combined, would not rival him.

Eventually, Jiang Hui left.

His mind went back to Liu Village.

Inside the village, the scenery was beautiful. Green mountains and rivers painted a picturesque scene.

After much hesitation.

He suddenly took out the Exotic Portal he had previously withdrawn.

It was something he had derived from the dragon egg last time. He hadn’t had the chance to use it, not because of a lack of time, but because he had been hesitant.

However, after this incident, he became somewhat interested.

The Royal Family, as the leader of the Eternal Family, was secretly collaborating with the Alien Territory. The reason for this was actually quite simple – the Black Blood could instantly enhance the owner’s power by several notches, even breaking the existing limitations and surpassing the extremes.

It was precisely this thought that led Jiang Hui to a sudden brainstorm. He wanted to see if the thing counted as experience points.

Before fully deciding to use it, this so-called Exotic Portal was still just a fist-sized light orb, circling with dazzling dark light, its texture delicate.

As he took out the Exotic Portal, a detailed introduction about the portal appeared before Jiang Hui again.

“Exotic Portal: A rather rare object. Through it, you can freely travel to Alien Territory. In the process, your identity will transform.”

“Friendly reminder: As an adjunct function, you can go through this portal to any place in the Alien Territory. Be careful using it, as it won’t bestow upon you invincible powers.”

In simple terms, he could travel to Alien Territory through this portal, but it didn’t guarantee absolute safety.

As for the identity transformation mentioned above, it should mean that when passing through the portal, he would automatically be cloaked in the aura of Alien Territory, preventing him from being discovered.

This feature was quite thoughtful and better than nothing.

After contemplating briefly, Jiang Hui decided to utilize the Exotic Portal.

He was quite curious about the Alien Territory.

With that thought, he chose to use it directly.

In the clear sky above, a massive Black Stone Gate slowly appeared, spanning across the sky. It was a kilometer large, majestic as a mountain, incredibly exaggerated, exuding a vast and ancient aura.

“Squeak…”

The Black Stone Gate slowly opened, revealing a massive vortex akin to a black hole, roaring like thunder.

Jiang Hui glanced at it a few times and found it intriguing.

Because the rotation inside the vortex was not all the same; half was to the left, half to the right. It looked incredibly contradictory, yet it seemed as it should be. However, after scrutinizing with his Divine Sense for a while, he found no abnormalities.

Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Hui stepped directly into it.

After crossing the whirlpool-like black hole, what came was an extremely thick black fog.

The black fog covered the sky and the earth. Even his five senses had been obscured within a small range, which speaks volumes about the strength of the black fog.

“Roar roar roar…”

It seemed that Jiang Hui’s luck was too good.

In the black fog, a hoarse beast roar suddenly sounded.

Jiang Hui focused all his senses in one place, finally able to see the source of the beast’s roar.

It was a huge creature with eight legs, looking extremely ferocious. It was so large that when it opened its mouth, a golden light rushed out, like a volcanic eruption, and the mountains were cleaved in half.

It was a gigantic golden spider with three skulls. The one in the middle was a spider’s head, and the ones on the sides were a human head and a lion’s head, respectively, all golden as if poured from gold.

Although it had golden light flowing, it didn’t have a hint of sacred aura. Conversely, it was a very cold and creepy aura.

On the back of this Giant Golden Spider, there were many smaller spiders, densely packed, each the size of an adult, their numbers too vast to quantify. Anyone with a fear of clusters seeing it would instantly get goosebumps; even Jiang Hui couldn’t help but avert his gaze slightly.

After feeling it carefully, the strength of this golden spider reached the realm of ‘Escape One’. It was extremely powerful.

“Who’s there? Hiding and sneaking around, come out!”

Surprisingly, after swinging its body a few times, this three-headed Giant Golden Spider actually detected Jiang Hui.

The other party was speaking some very ancient and complicated language, which made the mountains roar, shaking the entire mountain area. To Jiang Hui’s surprise, he could understand it.
