Sword Emperor

"Since there is only one piece of skin left, how could such a terrifying power be unleashed? Or perhaps, what is hidden within this piece of skin? "    

    

In an instant, thousands of doubts appeared in Sun Bing's mind. His eyes, which were shining with a bright light, suddenly became serious.    

    

Even Sun Bing's entire body became incomparably solemn. With a thought, the nine cauldrons even appeared in all four directions above his head. A heavy aura instantly suppressed down, and even the space at this moment was rather obscure.    

    

At this moment, Sun Bing carefully activated the Immortal-sever Sword and stabbed it in front of him.    

    

In the end, it was as Sun Bing had expected. There was no flesh and blood in the skin. Everything was so empty that it made one's scalp tingle.    

    

"Wait a minute."    

    

Suddenly, Sun Bing seemed to have seen a flash of light. The Sword Essence was being instilled into his eyes. Boundless divine light emerged in his pupils, and everything in front of him was clearly shown in his eyes.    

    

In this state, Sun Bing could clearly see that there were invisible threads emerging from the corpse of the Silver Scale Tribe. They drilled out from the top of the Silver Scale Tribe's head and spread to the top of the Silver Scale Tribe. Finally, they completely disappeared into the endless void.    

    

At this moment, Sun Bing suddenly felt an endless coldness rising from the bottom of his feet, spreading through his body and entering his mind.    

    

After letting out a long breath, Sun Bing managed to regain some of his composure. He once again instilled sword essence into his eyes and looked down. In an instant, he felt an icy cold sensation all over his body.    

    

That was because the corpses on the ground were even connected by countless tiny threads, which eventually dissipated into the void.    

    

Countless transparent threads that were almost undetectable covered the entire area. They were densely packed like a spider web, absorbing an endless amount of energy.    

    

Sun Bing looked up at the spot where the silk threads had disappeared. Finally, the mottled ancient tree appeared in Sun Bing's eyes. At this moment, his gaze had become extremely solemn.    

    

A shocking guess had even vaguely appeared in Sun Bing's mind. All the threads were connected to the majestic World Tree.    

    

It had to be known that the requirements for the birth and growth of an ordinary treasures from heaven and earth were extremely harsh. Otherwise, not to mention growing, it would be extremely difficult to even survive.    

    

As for that World Tree, how astonishing was it? How could it settle down in a collapsing world for no reason? And it even selflessly offered up the Innate Spiritual Qi. Where did the energy come from?    

    

Could it be that he was only absorbing the Chaotic Aura in the Infinity Realm Sea?    

    

This was just a joke. Even though the Chaotic Aura contained an abundant amount of energy, it was still far from enough to make the World Tree grow.    

    

Previously, Sun Bing was still quite puzzled, but after seeing this, he finally understood the reason behind it. The nutrients that the World Tree needed were the fresh corpses, or rather, the living beings.    

    

At this moment, there were already so many corpses left. What if the corpses that had been completely absorbed were included?    

    

The number of corpses that had been devoured might have even exceeded Sun Bing's imagination. Even if it was just a slight guess, Sun Bing's heart was filled with fear.    

    

When he thought about the Tree Realm, Sun Bing found out about it. Every single one of the cultivators... No matter if they were male or female, old or young, or weak experts, there was a brand in the deepest part of their bodies. On top of that, he had witnessed it with his own eyes.    

    

It was imaginable that the Tree Realm was just like a cage. All the cultivators, regardless of whether they were weak or strong, could only be regarded as fertilizer.    

    

Such a shocking plan made Sun Bing shiver all over his body. He raised his head and looked at the towering tree shadow. He couldn't help but mutter to himself.    

    

"Using endless life to cultivate a World Tree, what is the plan behind this? Can it reach this level in just thirty thousand years? "    

    

In the next moment, Sun Bing couldn't help but shake his head. Obviously, it was impossible to reach this level in just thirty thousand years. In fact, countless years ago, such a shocking plan had already begun.    

    

At that time, the infinite lives of a world were used as fertilizer to gradually supply the growth of the World Tree. Thirty thousand years ago, the World Tree had grown to its current level. Then, it attracted the rogue cultivators into it, and gradually extracted everyone's energy.    

    

Such an act was not rare to the treasures from heaven and earth. According to Sun Bing's knowledge, there were many treasures from heaven and earth that enticed cultivators to enter the pagoda and devour them.    

    

However, it was extremely rare to have such a plan, such a secretive plan, and even to the extent that no one had discovered it in such a long period of time.    

    

Sun Bing raised his head and looked at the silhouettes of the three World Fruits. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh. "It seems like the plan of the mastermind is about to succeed. I never thought that I would be involved in this matter by chance."    

    

For a moment, countless sense of crisis emerged in Sun Bing's heart, followed by a sense of powerlessness. After all, in the face of such a great plan, his strength was as insignificant as an ant.    

    

After a long time, Sun Bing finally managed to regain his composure and said helplessly:    

    

"Regardless of whether I want to participate in this plan or not, I have already fallen to this stage. If I don't want to resist, I can only wait for my death. I might as well see what's hidden in it. It won't be that easy to take my life. "    

    

He scanned his surroundings once again and was surprised to discover that the densely packed transparent threads had been covering his surroundings.    

    

However, Sun Bing's strength was formidable. Even though he didn't notice it, the body protective strong qi on his body was able to resist the corrosion of these silk threads. Therefore, there was no danger at all.    

    

If there was even the slightest carelessness, it wouldn't be as easy as it was now. As for the final outcome, even Sun Bing didn't dare to guess.    

    

The longsword slowly cut across the void in front of him. Under Sun Bing's Sword Qi, the tiny threads were extremely fragile and broke in an instant.    

    

After that, Sun Bing unleashed a majestic Qi at all times. Under the influence of the sharp Sword Force, the fragile threads were unable to get any closer.    

    

Seeing this, Sun Bing finally let out a sigh of relief.    

    

In the Middle World, the five elements were constantly reinforcing each other. The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy was endless. Although it was impossible to cultivate, it had made up for Sun Bing's consumption.    

    

After confirming that everything was at its peak, Sun Bing continued walking forward.
