Chapter 1020: Reshaping the Giant Nine-Colored Tree
Within Xiao Nanfeng's Deific Yin realm, countless stars were absorbing the surging gray fog and developing a dazzling brilliance. The silhouettes of nine towering trees slowly emerged before gradually fusing into a single colossal nine-colored tree.
Although the tree remained an ethereal silhouette without tangible form, it exuded an immense aura. Xiao Nanfeng's Deific Yin realm trembled violently, as if struggling to withstand this overwhelming presence.
"Just forming the outline of the tree alone is already putting such strain on my Deific Yin realm..." Xiao Nanfeng murmured in surprise. "Given my current strength, it's too soon to merge it with my world of the heart, isn't it?"
From his three wives, he had learned that his Deific Yin realm and world of the heart would also merge into one during his primordial ascension. However, if they were too weak, forcibly merging them together could cause damage.
Even so, the energy contained within the giant nine-colored tree's silhouette was simply too vast. He couldn't afford to wait any longer.
"My world of the heart has been tempered by my golden tree. It should be strong enough..." Xiao Nanfeng mused.
He closed his eyes and followed the procedure his three wives had taught him to start fusing his Deific Yin realm and his world of the heart together.
With a thunderous boom, the void quivered as spatial ripples spread outward. His Deific Yin realm and world of the heart began to intersect and merge.
His world of the heart was a unique existence. Though the golden tree had been forcibly removed from it, it still bore great power.
It originated from Xiao Nanfeng's heart, while his Deific Yin realm came from his soul. Both spaces were unique to Xiao Nanfeng, and their fusion created no conflict—only intense tremors.
It took some time and significant commotion before the combined world gradually stabilized. Three moons floated in the sky, radiating dazzling brilliance. Above them, countless stars converged into an outline of the giant nine-colored tree.
The tree stood tens of thousands of meters tall, surpassing the combined aura of the nine branches of the world tree. Even the supreme cultivators of the world who had mastered a branch of the world tree had never seen their trees rooted. The one in Xiao Nanfeng's mental world had lush, sprawling roots and appeared far more complete.
Surging gray fog continued to pour into the giant nine-colored tree's silhouette, rendering it more and more realistic. Gradually, Xiao Nanfeng felt the tree becoming connected to him. The sensation was similar to when he had manipulated the golden tree in the past, but it was also somehow different. His control of the golden tree had been an illusion, a mere result of the Superior's intervention. In contrast, this nine-colored silhouette was truly a part of him. He was the tree, and the tree was an extension of himself.
"So this is my own world tree..." Xiao Nanfeng's eyes gleamed.
All the stars in the sky had fully merged with the giant nine-colored tree. As their connection grew stronger, Xiao Nanfeng could sense its startling weakness and ravening hunger—yes, hunger. It was so hungry it seemed like it could devour everything in existence.
In the process of forming the giant nine-colored tree, however, all the gray fog within the Divine Seal of Dazheng had been used up.
Within the Divine Seal, there remained only a cluster of purple mist, which emitted a faint glow. It seemed hazy and incredibly mysterious.
"What's this?" Xiao Nanfeng's eyes flashed with surprise.
He reached out to pull it toward him, but the purple mist was as heavy as a mountain—he couldn't make it budge at all.
"What heavy mist," Xiao Nanfeng murmured.
He stepped forward to touch it. Though it appeared soft and tranquil, it was as immovable as a celestial mountain.
"What is this? Such strange purple mist—how can I not be able to move it despite my strength?" Xiao Nanfeng was baffled.
Unfortunately, there was no one around to explain what it was. The purple mist could not be absorbed and was impossibly heavy. Even so, he was certain that this purple mist represented an incredible opportunity.
"Forget it. Once I reclaim my physical body, I'll refine this purple mist with my body," Xiao Nanfeng muttered, frowning.
His soul hadn't grown stronger during his secluded cultivation, but the hunger from the nine-colored giant tree was becoming unbearable. If he didn't feed it soon, it might collapse from starvation.
Stepping out of the Divine Seal of Dazheng, Xiao Nanfeng suddenly felt the giant nine-colored tree unleash powerful suction that spread throughout his mental world and into spiritual reality. A vast torrent of spiritual energy surged toward him like a mighty river.
"The giant nine-colored tree is this strong?" Xiao Nanfeng was stunned.
With a wave of his hand, he manifested the giant tree, though only a miniature version about three meters tall. Despite its small size, its suction was undiminished. Spiritual energy swirled toward it with increasing ferocity.
Despite the fact that they were underwater, the sea quickly became a fountain of spiritual energy. Radiant nine-colored light condensed in the water and made it shimmer with brilliance.
The nine-colored giant tree's absorption of spiritual energy was terrifying. Xiao Nanfeng could feel it frantically consuming everything it could find. It fed for three whole days and nights.
Finally, the nine-colored giant tree overcame the worst of its hunger and would no longer collapse from starvation. It continued to absorb spiritual energy, but now also released a special energy back into Xiao Nanfeng's body—exactly what his soul needed most.
Xiao Nanfeng sat cross-legged in meditation and absorbed the energy.
Ten days later, powerful shockwaves emanated from his body and sent waves rippling through the sea.
"Mid-stage Deific Yin?!" Xiao Nanfeng's eyes lit up.
He had broken through. He knew that the giant nine-colored tree would bear immense strength, but this was beyond his wildest expectations. It had only taken him ten days for a spiritual breakthrough! Thrilled, he quickly prepared to push further.
Just then, a loud voice rang out from overhead, "He's here! Split the sea!"
A slash of sword energy descended toward the sea. Xiao Nanfeng narrowed his eyes and met it with a punch. Fist and sword collided, sending waves crashing.
"Indeed, he's here," a cold voice declared from above the water.
Xiao Nanfeng waved his hand and withdrew his giant tree before soaring into the sky.
A group of white-furred monsters stood by the surface. Most of the white fur on their faces had shed, and powerful auras radiated from them.
Silver moons floated out of each of the monsters, each of which swiftly opened their eyes.
"Xiao Nanfeng, you were hiding here, after all! But something's different about your aura. What have you done? What other secrets do you have?" a silver moon cried out.
"You really won't leave me alone, will you?" Xiao Nanfeng retorted.
"Hmph! Don't let him run. Take him down, dead or alive!" the silver moon commanded.
"Die!" The white-furred monsters rapidly surrounded Xiao Nanfeng.
"Die!" Xiao Nanfeng retorted, attacking them.
Now that he had grown stronger, he had nothing to fear. Furthermore, the giant tree seemed to desperately want to consume these white-furred monsters, leaving him curious.
With a punch, one of the white-furred monsters exploded in a shower of blood. He quickly flashed over to the others.
"Hegemon's Fist!"
Countless fists struck at the gathered white-furred monsters.
He was now a mid-stage Deific Yin cultivator, with strength equivalent to a late-stage Boundless Immortal. Given his accomplishment with Hegemon's Fist, he was easily able to take the white-furred monsters down.
"Mid-stage Deific Yin? How did you break through again?!" the silver moon roared.
Xiao Nanfeng ignored the Superior as he fought more and more fiercely. White-furred monsters continued to attack him, and he continued to send them flying.
The giant nine-colored tree rumbled within his mental world, wanting to be let out, but Xiao Nanfeng refused to have it show itself. Rather, he swept the dead white-furred monsters into his mental world.
The giant tree's roots suddenly extended and thrust into their bodies, absorbing all the nutrients within. The monsters' carcasses gradually shriveled up into nothing but fur—and then, even that fur was absorbed by the roots.
The monsters had become nothing but fertilizer.
Xiao Nanfeng could sense that the white-furred monsters' carcasses contained incredible energy, the condensation of the spiritual aether in this realm. After the giant tree absorbed all that energy, it was able to provide Xiao Nanfeng with increased strength as well.
"It's just like the peach tree I used to have," Xiao Nanfeng murmured.
"Kill him! His strength will run out eventually. Kill him whatever the cost!" the silver moon roared.

However, the strongest white-furred monsters seemed to resist the command. After all, Xiao Nanfeng was far too strong. They would almost surely die if they were to charge forward.
"You dare ignore my orders? Don't make me disintegrate your truesouls!" the silver moon threatened.
The white-furred monsters gritted their teeth and charged forward at Xiao Nanfeng.
"Die!" they roared.
Xiao Nanfeng laughed. "You think I'll be overwhelmed by numbers? Dream on!"
Xiao Nanfeng punched forward with Hegemon's Fist. The entire world seemed to fill with punches. The more Xiao Nanfeng fought, the more ferocious he became. Even so, more and more white-furred monsters rushed over, causing Xiao Nanfeng to face ever greater pressure.
Far across the sea, two special white-furred monsters, one male and one female, were flying over. They were both particularly strong, and the fur around their faces had receded. They too had come to hunt him down on the Superior's orders, but worry flickered in their eyes. Xiao Nanfeng felt a shocking resonance with them.
