Reincarnated as a Divine Tree

Noah Ji needed to destroy the Sacred Tree before the Chen Clan discovered him and then escape through the secret passage!

The distance from the passage entrance to the tree was only a few meters. With his strength, he could make it in time, and the Ancestral Hall was unguarded—truly a heaven-sent opportunity!

However, as he reached the halfway point and could clearly see the patterns on the tree trunk, the Sacred Tree suddenly lit up.

This unexpected anomaly startled Jay Li, making him look up.

Under the dim night sky, the branches ahead glowed with a faint light, and among the glowing leaves, gray fruits with distinct human features swayed in the wind.

The rustling sound was like the sinister laughter of these human-faced fruits looking at him.

“What… what is this?”

Jay Li’s eyes momentarily lost focus at the sight, a tremendous fear rising within him, causing him to involuntarily step back.

As he was momentarily dazed, a sense of danger suddenly erupted from his heart.

Relying on his keen instincts, Jay Li quickly dodged.

Just as he moved, a root as thick as a rope burst from the ground, shattering the blue stone slab beneath it into several pieces.

Seeing this, Jay Li felt a chill in his heart. If he hadn’t dodged in time, that root would have pierced through his body instead of the stone slab.

Noah Ji inwardly lamented the missed opportunity. He had deliberately dissipated the lunar eclipse to strengthen the roots, hoping to launch a sneak attack.

But he had underestimated the instincts of a Blood Condensation Realm warrior, who had even evaded his hidden roots.

Noah Ji was not discouraged. This time, he directly strengthened three roots. He didn’t believe Jay Li could dodge them all.

As Noah Ji’s thoughts dispersed, two new roots burst from the ground, attacking Jay Li. After the transformation, Noah Ji’s roots had reached a new level of strength.

Seeing two more roots, Jay Li’s heart tightened. However, the previous attack had cleared his mind, reminding him of his purpose for coming here.

Especially after seeing these roots, Jay Li’s killing intent intensified!

If the Sacred Tree of the Chen Clan were allowed to grow, his clan would have no chance for revenge in the future!

Even with three roots attacking simultaneously, Jay Li did not retreat.

With agile movements and steps, Jay Li dodged two roots and headed straight for Noah Ji’s main trunk.

His gaze was firm and resolute.

Noah Ji was slightly surprised. Although his roots were strong, they were not as fast as a late-stage Blood Condensation Realm warrior.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this situation.

The two roots that Jay Li had dodged did not retract but instead struck directly at the Ancestral Hall’s main door.

“Boom.”

The sound of the Ancestral Hall’s door collapsing echoed all around.

Not only did the nearby patrolling clan members hear it, but even those farther away could hear the loud noise.

“What happened?”

“The sound came from the Ancestral Hall! Go check it out!”

…

Voices of many clan members echoed. After the Sacred Tree Grand Ceremony, the Ancestral Hall was the most important place in the clan. It housed not only the spiritual positions of the ancestors but also the current Sacred Tree of the clan, and nothing could go wrong.

Hearing the commotion outside, Jay Li gritted his teeth. He had underestimated the Sacred Tree, not expecting it to have such intelligence.

However, this did not deter him from his determination to destroy the tree in front of him. Besides, there was only one root left blocking his way, which couldn’t possibly stop him!

Facing the last root, Jay Li did not dodge this time but charged forward.

As the root was about to strike his body, Jay Li’s quick reflexes allowed him to grab the root firmly with both hands.

The immense force from the root almost made Jay Li lose his grip, but by channeling all his Qi and blood, he managed to hold on.

With the last root restrained, Jay Li took a big step forward. He was now less than half a meter from Noah Ji’s trunk, within arm’s reach.

Just as he was about to kick the not-so-thick Sacred Tree to break it, a new root suddenly extended from beneath the tree.

This root came too suddenly and was too close.

By the time Jay Li realized it, the root was already at his face.

With the root’s speed, if he continued his attack, he might hit the trunk, but he would also surely die.

Despite the great opportunity, he had to give up. The secret passage behind him was his hope for escape.

“Stop!”

Before Jay Li could launch a second attack, a loud shout came from behind, followed by a powerful attack aimed at him.

Feeling the danger from behind, Jay Li had no choice but to dodge again.

When he turned to look, Oliver Chen had appeared in the Ancestral Hall. It was he who had launched the attack, and he was accompanied by other members of the Chen Clan.

Seeing the chaos in the Ancestral Hall, the clan members’ faces changed, but realizing it was an enemy attack, they quickly surrounded Jay Li!

Surrounded, Jay Li felt a deep sense of despair. Among those surrounding him were not only Oliver Chen, a late-stage Blood Condensation Realm warrior, but also two other Blood Condensation Realm warriors.

Realizing he might have missed his last chance to destroy the Sacred Tree, Jay Li was filled with regret.

The passage that seemed to offer him a way out turned out to be the final factor in the failure of his plan!

Damn it!

Jay Li roared to the sky, venting his frustration.

Ethan Chen, who had hurried over, looked serious, but seeing the Sacred Tree unharmed, he finally relaxed.

If anything had happened to the Sacred Tree, how could he face the deceased ancestors and explain to the clan members?

“Surrender, Jay Li! You have no way out!”

Looking at Jay Li trapped in the center of the crowd, Ethan Chen issued his final ultimatum.

“Heh!”

Jay Li’s only response was a disdainful sneer.

“Attack!”

Without further words, the clan members attacked again.

With Oliver Chen, a late-stage Blood Condensation Realm warrior, assisting, and the other clan members, Jay Li had no chance.

After just a few rounds, Jay Li was severely injured and could barely stand.

However, in his final moments, Jay Li suddenly looked at Oliver Chen and asked:

“What combat skill is that? Why haven’t I seen you use it before?”

Oliver Chen did not answer but sent him off with a move of the Grand Ancestor Long Fist!

“Good!”

Ethan Chen’s face showed excitement upon seeing the punch.

Strictly speaking, to master a combat skill, one needed to be at least in the Blood Condensation Realm. Body Tempering Realm warriors had thin Qi and blood, making it difficult to exert the power of combat skills.

But that didn’t mean Body Tempering Realm clan members couldn’t learn. Even if they couldn’t master it, they could familiarize themselves with the combat skill’s path, preparing for the future.
