"I and the Water Spirit Realm have already reached the limit." The Illusion Tree spoke. "You may proceed now."

"Senior, please wait a moment." Zhao Xing took out a Mana Talisman, "My strength is weak, I need a bit of time to unleash its power."

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" The Illusion Tree was somewhat annoyed, but fortunately, it hadn't truly reached its limit, having mentioned it in advance.

Ten years passed, and the talisman in Zhao Xing's hand still had not been activated.

"Are you ready yet?" The Illusion Tree was a bit anxious.

Zhao Xing kept staring at the shadow of the Illusion Tree, observing with a panel.

"Senior, hold on just a bit more, it'll be ready soon!"

Another ten years passed.

The Illusion Tree had completely reached its limit.

Yet Zhao Xing still hadn't unleashed the talisman.

"Can you do it or not, I'm barely hanging on!"

"Senior, soon, soon!"

Zhao Xing pretended to be sweating heavily.

The Illusion Tree was getting a bit restless.

Is this human truly capable of saving me?

However, having exhausted so much Origin, it wasn't willing to give up just like that.

Decade after decade, Zhao Xing waited until Shixin 1315, by this time the Illusion Tree had been enduring the limit for a hundred years!

Just as the Illusion Tree was about to give in.

"It's now!"

Zhao Xing threw the Fire Talisman out forcefully.

"Boom!!"

The yin-yang level Fire Talisman instantly blasted the Water Cube apart.

The Water Spirit Realm shattered into fragments, disappearing without a trace.

A large tree, previously bent, suddenly straightened up.

"Swish swish swish~"

Countless leaves shook, it stretched its body wantonly, as if countless eyes were laughing.

Debris flew around, Zhao Xing was also knocked away by the terrifying shockwave.

The Illusion Tree kept growing, seemingly about to break through the earth.

"Swish swish swish swish swish~"

The Illusion Tree seemed to be laughing loudly.

Zhao Xing's gaze grew colder.

The Illusion Tree hadn't mentioned anything about transferring to its own Origin Space.

It moved its body, the entire ground was shaking, it could completely escape by itself!

"Senior, your second request was indeed a lie." Zhao Xing chuckled.

"Swish swish swish~ It indeed was a lie." A human figure emerged from the Illusion Tree's eyes, dressed in a scholar's attire, seemingly transformed into the tomb owner's image.

"How do you plan to treat me, Senior?" Zhao Xing asked playfully.

The Illusion Tree smiled slightly: "In the first epoch after being trapped, I decided to give my all to repay the person who saved me."

"After a hundred epochs, I decided to imprison the person who saved me in the Water Spirit Realm."

"Now, I decide to kill the person who saved me."

"Are you satisfied with this way of repaying?"

Zhao Xing looked shocked: "Senior, how can you do this."

"Will you even disregard Divine Fire Turtle Senior? Or is Divine Fire Turtle Senior deceiving me too?"

The Illusion Tree shook its head: "No, Old Turtle didn't deceive you, he and I are indeed friends, I believe he acted out of goodwill."

"To repay him, I will also kill him and absorb his Turtle Element."

The Illusion Tree's shadow walked over step by step: "I wish to reincarnate, break free from constraints, Old Turtle becoming the nourishment of my great path is his good fortune."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Do you have anything else to say?" The Illusion Tree asked.

"Nothing more." Zhao Xing shook his head. "I've seen quite a few troops with your nasty personality, so I'm not surprised."

The Illusion Tree frowned at this.

Then its expression changed.

"Snap~" Zhao Xing snapped his fingers. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The human-like shadow of the Illusion Tree immediately flew back, merging into the eye on the trunk.

"What have you done to me?!"

The Illusion Tree roared angrily.

"I've laid my cards on the table, no longer pretending." Zhao Xing laughed: "Contained in the Mana Talisman flying towards the Water Spirit Realm is a Water Element Life Contract."

"Oh, you old relic of a bygone era might not understand."

"It's a kind of life contract."

In Zhao Xing's palm appeared strange patterns, gradually forming into the shape of the Illusion Tree.

Finally, in Zhao Xing's palm appeared a golden vertical eye.

"Look, doesn't it resemble your life structure?"

"You scoundrel!!"

The Illusion Tree roared furiously.

"Shut up!"

Zhao Xing clenched his fist and shouted firmly.

The Illusion Tree indeed shut up, though still shaking, the amplitude immediately reduced.

"Shrink!"

Buzz~

The Illusion Tree immediately shrank, finally standing only ten thousand miles high.

"Fly in by yourself."

Zhao Xing unfurled the Origin Projection.

The Illusion Tree was completely unable to resist, obediently moving into the Original Soil.

"Hmph, daring to fight with me?"

Zhao Xing struggled to retract the Origin Projection.

"I've collected more troops than you have leaves on your body!"
