Chapter 2152

Xing Chen's reminder was kind and sincere. Unfortunately, Xia Hande did not appreciate it. He held the Forbidden Talisman tightly in his hand and said coldly, "Don't try to lie to me. Let me tell you, even if I die today, you can forget about getting the Sacred Tree."

His gaze swept past Xing Chen and Brilliant as he said, "The two of you, don't even think of leaving alive today."

Facing the threat, Xing Chen was indifferent. He shook his head and said, "Once the Rainbow Sacred Tree sprouts, it will grow faster and faster. The seventh leaf has already sprouted. Your Sacred Tree is really gone."

"No …"

Before the final word could be uttered, Xia Hande sensed that the multi-coloured light between the heavens and the earth had suddenly dimmed. Soon after, it completely disappeared.

He knew that this was the sign of the Rainbow Sacred Tree being restrained after it took shape. Without another word, he crushed the Talisman in his hand and let the terrifying energy burst out.

At the same time, he retreated and landed at the spot where the Rainbow Sacred Tree was. He then squatted down and grabbed the Sacred Tree.

However, he grabbed nothing but air. The Holy Tree that had clearly been there a moment ago had disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it, how could this be?"

Xia Hande's eyes widened in disbelief. He had been staring at the three of them and spread his spiritual sense around. However, he did not notice anything unusual.

At this moment, the shattered Talisman in front of him turned into a Saint Energy palm print and headed straight for Zi Chen.

In his plan, the Forbidden Talisman would entangle Zi Chen and he would leave with the Sacred Tree.

This plan was perfect because Zi Chen would not be able to ignore the Forbidden Talisman's attack. However, he could not understand where the Sacred Tree had gone.

While he was in a daze, the palm print exploded in front of Zi Chen. Zi Chen's body flashed with Saint Energy as he shattered the palm print with a punch. At the same time, his body was blasted back.

However, after retreating a dozen steps, Zi Chen stabilized his body. Golden light flashed around his body and dissolved the terrifying energy that entered his body. He then walked forward.

Under Xia Hande's disbelief, Zi Chen once again walked in front of Xing Chen and Brilliant. At this moment, another Zi Chen appeared. In his hand, he was holding the Rainbow Sacred Tree that should have belonged to him.

"Damn it, that's mine."

Seeing the Rainbow Sacred Tree, Xia Hande's mind immediately exploded. He instantly lost his mind. With a roar, he rushed forward.

"Weng."

With a slight vibration, a golden light appeared in front of Zi Chen and turned into a blur as it swept towards Xia Hande.

Xia Hande, who was charging forward, felt a strong sense of crisis. His crazed expression immediately returned to normal. He knew that things weren't looking good. If he were to charge forward like this, he would undoubtedly be courting death.

However, by the time he reacted, it was already too late. In front of the Sword Spirit who had been infused with Saint Energy, he might have been able to resist if he was at his peak, but now …

"Puff."

The Sword Spirit directly pierced through Xia Hande's forehead. The Saint Energy contained in it entered his sea of consciousness and crazily destroyed his soul.

Xia Hande's body rushed forward. He fell at Zi Chen's feet and his life force was dissipating.

He stretched out his hand and looked up at Zi Chen. His face was filled with unwillingness.

But it was all over.

Under his gradually dissipating gaze, the Rainbow Sacred Tree disappeared from Zi Chen's hand. The two people beside Zi Chen just stood there quietly. They did not have any intention to snatch it. There was not even a trace of envy on their faces.

Xia Hande's last bit of soul disappeared with unwillingness.

…

…

Looking at the dead Xia Hande, Zi Chen said, "Search his body."

He purposely took out the Rainbow Sacred Tree to make his opponent lose his mind and save some forbidden weapons.

Xing Chen began to search his body. Zi Chen closed his eyes and calmed his heart to feel the Rainbow Sacred Tree.

After the Rainbow Sacred Tree landed in his hand, it fused into his body. Then, its roots spread all over his body.

Then, a suction force came from the Rainbow Sacred Tree. The Saint Energy in the world was absorbed by the Sacred Tree and spread throughout Zi Chen's body, strengthening Zi Chen's body.

Zi Chen could clearly feel the changes in his body at this moment.

His entire body seemed to have become a vortex. The Saint Energy from the void that could not be sensed or detected entered his body from all directions, strengthening his body.

With the Perfect Body and the Heart of the God, coupled with the Rainbow Sacred Tree, Zi Chen's transformation speed was undoubtedly faster.

The Saint Energy in his body was growing every moment.

After searching Xia Hande's body, Xing Chen asked, "How is it? How do you feel?"

Zi Chen nodded and praised, "It's really a magical thing. With it, the time to break through to the Saint realm has been shortened again."

"Of course it's magical. This is a true heaven-defying treasure. All factions will be jealous of it. Once you have it, as long as you have enough time, you can create a Saint family," Xing Chen praised as well.

"Can you enter the Saint realm in a few months?" Brilliant asked with some anticipation.

Zi Chen shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "How can it be that easy? It's just a little faster than before, but it still takes a long time. If I were to enter seclusion, I'm afraid I would be able to break through in a hundred years."

To a Heaven Realm expert, a hundred years was just a blink of an eye. Unfortunately, Zi Chen did not have a hundred years to enter seclusion.

The tribe Brilliant was in could be in danger at any time. He naturally could not sit back and do nothing.

"The harvest this time is not bad. There are three complete forbidden weapons and more than ten damaged ones."

After taking stock of the loot, Xing Chen sighed and said, "I didn't expect to reap such a great harvest. If those Overlords were to find out about this, they would probably regret it."

"Yeah, who would have thought that such a galactic pirate nest would be related to the Luo Sect? And they even have such a treasure."

The real leader of the Black Mountain Bandits, Luo Wu, was from the Luo Clan. His status was probably not low. In order to let the seed of the Rainbow Holy Tree sprout, he should have stopped at many places and carefully cultivated the seed.

Because the conditions were harsh, not just any galactic region could do it. In the end, he came here and prepared to let the Rainbow Holy Tree sprout.

In order to not attract attention, he formed a galactic pirate group to act as a cover. However, he did not expect to be discovered midway. After a scheme, Luo Wu was killed.

The treasury, which was also a treasure, was abandoned as an ordinary treasury. Xia Hande and Wei Li began to focus on cultivating the seed of the Rainbow Holy Tree.

Then, Zi Chen came. With his perfect spiritual sense, he noticed the abnormality in the treasury. He subdued Zhong Dian and learned about the Luo Sect. Then, he did not give up and finally discovered the secret of the Rainbow Holy Tree.

All of this could be said to be a coincidence.

If the one who came was not Zi Chen but someone else, they would not have noticed the abnormality in the treasury since they did not have perfect spiritual senses. Naturally, they would not have followed up with anything.

This was a coincidence. It could also be said to be fate.

It was fate.

"Let's go. There's nothing else here."

Retracting their perfect spiritual senses, the three of them began to return. They had been here for quite some time and did not know what the outside was like.

…

…

Zi Chen had disappeared for two months. This made Deren very anxious when he heard the news.

Not only did Zi Chen disappear, even Brilliant and Xing Chen were nowhere to be found. However, no one saw them leave.

"Where did they go? How could they suddenly disappear from the room?"

Deren was currently at Zi Chen's residence. This place was surrounded by layers of people and there were even some False Saints personally overseeing it.

This was because everyone was very sure that Lord Zi Chen did not leave this place. After Xing Chen and Brilliant went in, they did not come out either.

There were no traces of fighting in the room. Nothing could have happened to Zi Chen. Also, knowing how powerful Zi Chen was, Deren knew that even a true Saint would not be able to make Zi Chen disappear without a trace.

Now that Zi Chen was not around, the Black Mountain Bandits were completely without a leader. No one knew what to do.

Just as Deren was extremely anxious, a wave of energy suddenly came from behind. Then, a familiar voice sounded, "Deren, why are you here?"

"Lord Zi Chen."

Hearing this familiar voice, Deren's eyes suddenly lit up. His hanging heart was completely relieved.

The news of Zi Chen's reappearance quickly spread. The others also heaved a sigh of relief. Now, Zi Chen had become their backbone, their true leader.

This time, Deren came to Zi Chen to ask how to deal with the Star Bandits who had not left and intended to follow them.

It could be seen that Deren was very enthusiastic about these people.

At any time, power was something that people could not resist.

"Anyway, the space in the pill cauldron is very big. If these people are really willing to follow us, then you can be in charge of them. With so many people, once they are organized, it will indeed be a big force," Zi Chen said.

Deren thanked excitedly. He used to be a real small figure. Even if he met someone like Luo Miao, he would still have to be polite. His biggest dream was to become friends with the fake saint Luo Chen's son. He never dreamed that one day he could lead a group of Heavenly Realm experts and become their leader.

But after following Zi Chen, not only did he witness the death of Luo Chen, but he also witnessed the death of Luo Fei and the destruction of the overlord force, the Luo Family.

And now, he had the chance to become a leader and lead an army.

Deren felt very proud.

And he was very grateful for his quick reaction because at that time, he was only a hair's breadth away from death.

Between death and glory, he made a wise and correct choice.

This time, the secrets of the Black Mountain Bandits were truly dug out. There were no more secrets to speak of.

Zi Chen still did not leave. He still needed to stay for a while. During this time, he would focus on his identity as a Harmonious Spirit Master.

With the help of the saint force in his body, he wanted to try to break through to the Harmonious Spirit Master realm.

If he could successfully integrate the saint force, then Zi Chen's existence would not be weaker than a rainbow sacred tree.

In this world, there was no one who had a rainbow sacred tree and was also a Harmonious Spirit Master.
