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

Chapter 503: Chapter 372: Return to the Dam_1

Above the arena, a figure was sent flying out.

Clad in garments white as snow mixed with speckles of golden light, he appeared like brilliant radiance filtering through dappled shadows from the trees, creating an air of mystique.

It was the Banished Immortal.

At this moment, the once peerless and splendid youth looked extremely disheveled, his bones shattered, coughing up mouthfuls of golden blood as he tumbled from the arena and crashed heavily onto the green stone slabs below, a weapon slipping from his grasp.

That weapon was the unique horn of the Heavenly Corner Ant, one of the Ten Evils. It appeared unremarkable with its dark hue, but was exceedingly rare and sharp enough to easily tear through the void. Not even treasures could compete with it, truly invincible, yet even such strength had failed to withstand the assault from that matchless figure on the arena.

Nevertheless, the horn of the Heavenly Corner Ant was indeed extraordinary, still gleaming despite the severe damage, with runes continuously bursting and emanating, rippling with terrifying and boundless might. Even unused, this weapon alone was formidable enough to rank as an instrument of extreme malice.

“The Banished Immortal… has been defeated. He only defended the arena for one match, it’s too surreal, too unbelievable. This era is likely to witness the emergence of many unimaginable prodigies!”

Someone exclaimed in shock, their expression dumbfounded. It was truly astonishing—the Banished Immortal was reputed to make an impact whenever he chose to emerge. Across the ages, he was considered one of the most outstanding talents ever to grace the world. Yet now, after biding through countless years, his long-awaited rise to the arena ended before a second match could be won. Being literally beaten out of the ring was something that would be unbelievable if mentioned, but it had indeed happened.

Above the arena, even Gu Chen’s state was somewhat pitiable. Though he stood victorious in the end, the Banished Immortal was anything but ordinary. With ultimate strength, Gu Chen had gone all out, his body nearly shattered.

This was undoubtedly the most intense battle he had ever experienced, with every method employed and his body nearly torn asunder.

But he was of Sky Tyrant Blood, having evolved this bloodline to its pinnacle. The lower his vitality, the more fierce he became, and with the undying Tyrant Blood, it was exceedingly difficult for him to perish, able to maintain peak condition in battle unless the last drop of Tyrant Blood drained away, thus he would not perish.

“Blessing!”

With a silent heart, Gu Wa Zi murmured inwardly.

As the voice fell, a ripple-like transparent radiance suddenly descended from the sky, filled with vile undying vitality, dispelling all negative effects, like the spring of life pouring into Gu Chen’s body.

Then, a scene that shocked everyone unfolded.

Gu Chen’s previously battered body miraculously returned to its original state in an instant, with torn flesh visibly mending. He appeared rejuvenated, not a single wound visible on his person, hardly resembling someone who had just engaged in a fierce battle.

This was Gu Wa Zi’s recently evolved Treasure Technique Divine Ability, used for the first time with remarkable effects, instantly removing all negative impacts on his body, regenerating skin and reviving bone.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say, with these two conditions combined, Gu Wa Zi could be considered as resilient as Xiao Qiang who just couldn’t be killed.

Of course, that didn’t mean he was invincible—no one in the world could claim invincibility. No matter how strong, there would always be stronger challengers to come. This simply meant that Gu Wa Zi was very difficult to kill when faced with opponents of similar strength. Against the truly powerful, he would have no chance to use such methods and would be suppressed instantly.

But to possess such strength and achievements at his age was already quite remarkable. Even Jiang Hui was happy for Gu Wa Zi, knowing that given time, his future potential was limitless.

After all, as the only special Rare Item that Jiang Hui had drawn so far, the young man’s future was destined to be unstoppable, crushing all enemies.

“You, have won!”

By the green stones, where moss was widespread, the Banished Immortal struggled to get up. He spoke, his expression tinged with a hint of faded despondency and loss.

For him, this was an unprecedented blow. He had accumulated knowledge through numerous lifetimes and deduced through countless eras, initially intending to shine brightly in this era and ascend the Great Taoist Era. However, he failed to achieve his aspirations before they could truly begin, being suppressed so swiftly.

Even in the last desperate moment, he had employed the Heavenly Ant Treasure Technique, blood roaring ferociously like a raging sun.

The Heavenly Corner Ant was known to possess supreme strength among the Ten Evils, proclaimed to be unrivaled even by a True Dragon, terrifyingly fierce without bounds. Yet, he still fell in defeat, the opponent’s vitality as vast as the starry sky, even more exaggerated than his, a never-ending torrent that stung his eyes, almost too intense to look at directly.

“You’ve lost nobly, being the first to push me to my limits is an achievement in itself!”

Gu Chen spoke.

His words only added to the Banished Immortal’s bitterness. What did it matter to be the first? The result was still a defeat.

In front of the crowd, the Ten Crown King, who had just arrived, witnessed this scene, furrowing his brows, unable to articulate the solemnity and shock he felt.

He had sparred with the Banished Immortal, regarding his adversary as his strongest and most worthy opponent. They had fought countless times with mutual respect, and though he had always managed to edge out a victory, he never dared to claim total supremacy over the other.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yet now, the Banished Immortal he saw as his greatest rival had been beaten to the brink of Bloodshed with a nearly shattered body, experiencing a level of misery he himself could scarcely achieve.
