The aura surrounding the male protagonist now is just like the Nether Tree, filled with evil, nauseating, and various unsettling scents.

It is the wails of countless wronged souls, the resentment of billions of creatures condensed into form.

When Zhao Yi saw this, he immediately knew that the protagonist must have allied with the Nether Tree to have such power now.

As expected.

As the protagonist approached, looking at Zhao Yi floating in the River of Time, a strong killing intent appeared on his face.

If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have had to walk this far.

Just before.

The Game World began to dissipate and perish, the Nether Tree uprooted, blotting out the sun, and countless people died within it.

Although the protagonist's strength was extraordinary, having reached the Sage Realm with the help of the Treasure Tower, he should logically be able to escape.

Just.

The Heavenly Dao Will of the Magic World had encountered the protagonist before and immediately sensed something different about him.

After reporting this to the Nether Tree, the latter, upon paying attention to this man, discovered a shocking secret.

It turns out the protagonist was the first son of destiny in the Three Thousand Worlds, and as an extraordinary existence, he could perfectly resonate with the Nether Tree.

In other words.

The Nether Tree could turn him into its first war general to help devour the Three Thousand Worlds.

Thus.

Once the Nether Tree made its move, the protagonist had no ability to resist, even the Treasure Tower Spirit was of no use at all.

Under the influence of the Nether Tree, even the Treasure Tower Spirit underwent a strange transformation, becoming evil and capable of devouring all cultivators, refining and absorbing them into its own strength.

As for the protagonist.

His power leaped from the Sage Realm to the peak of the Great Daoist Sage Realm, becoming an invincible existence throughout the heavens.

Moreover, the Nether Tree helped him comprehend the Law of Life, which is ranked third among the laws within the Three Thousand Worlds, making the protagonist an immortal existence.

No matter how many times the opponent killed the protagonist, as long as he had the power of the Law of Life within him, he could instantly resurrect.

This is akin to the City Lord of Water City in the Magic World back then, except that was a low-end life sharing, while the current protagonist is plundering and infinitely devouring life.

By comparison, the current protagonist could be said to be an invincible existence.

Previously dealing with a few beasts was also an application of the Law of Life.

He could extract the enemy's life for his use, causing them to die as their life force was exhausted.

The protagonist looked at Zhao Yi and said calmly, "This River of Time cannot be subdued by you, now come out, and I'll spare your corpse."

"The end of the Three Thousand Worlds is irreversible now, no matter how much you rush the construction of your New World, it can't stand up to the Nether Tree."

"You must know that the Nether Tree has only devoured a few worlds and has already become terrifyingly strong. If it continues to devour, no one can stop the extinction of this world."

Zhao Yi looked at the protagonist, feeling somewhat mournful.

Unexpectedly, he walked this path.

But there's no point in saying more, he doesn't need any further exchanges with him.

With a wave of his hand, those beasts, which were initially exhausted and about to burn out, suddenly became lively and full of energy again, their life force replenished.

Seeing this, the protagonist's pupils contracted.

"You've already comprehended the Time Law, and so quickly?"

Zhao Yi smirked, "Is this considered fast?"

"I feel like I've been quite slow!"

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he used the Power of Time on the protagonist, "Time Reversal!"

As the words fell, the surroundings of the protagonist started to regress, various scenes flashed like a revolving lantern in his mind, and after a while, he was surprised to find himself back at the moment when he had just torn through space and arrived in the void.

Zhao Yi sighed inwardly.

The Time Law has yet to reach perfection, I've only just comprehended it, and my battle prowess is still lacking.

If it had reached perfection, that strike just now would have obliterated the protagonist in this space-time, not leaving a single trace.

The protagonist still wanted to charge forward, but Zhao Yi looked at him as if he were a mere puppet.

"Time Reversal!"

"Time Reversal!"

"Time Reversal!"

…

Each time the protagonist was about to approach, Zhao Yi decisively used the Power of Time to send him back to a few minutes earlier, preventing him from unleashing any power.

Finally.

The protagonist gave up in frustration.

He gave Zhao Yi a deep look and turned away.

After confirming he wouldn't return, Zhao Yi let out a sigh of relief.

He could clearly feel that the protagonist must have some cards left unplayed, probably unsure of killing Zhao Yi in one strike, so he kept probing.

But after probing for so long without gaining confidence, he left with unwillingness.

Next time they meet, with the Nether Tree's support, the protagonist will certainly be stronger, and it will definitely be a fierce battle, not like today's outcome.

"While there's still time, I must return to the New World quickly!"

"Now, within the Three Thousand Worlds, several major worlds have already perished: Spirit Realm, Game World, Half-Beastman World, Magic World..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"These are the worlds I know of, who knows if the Nether Tree has devoured other worlds. Once they find out where the New World is, they'll certainly come knocking. Meanwhile, back in the New World, I can build up forces and take advantage of the Nether Tree's growth to also conquer other worlds."

"In this way, by the time the ultimate battle comes, who wins or loses will still be unknown!"

With a clear plan of what to do next, Zhao Yi, with his thoughts in order, waved his hand and returned to the New World with a few beasts.

A burst of light flashed.

Suddenly, several figures appeared above the New Imperial City in the New World.

Zhao Yi looked at the New Imperial City, and a satisfied smile appeared uncontrollably on his face.

Needless to say, the New Imperial City is built magnificently, not to mention the Outer City, just within the Inner City, spanning over a hundred miles, with countless palaces interwoven, extremely grand.

Within the Imperial City, he sensed a vast wealth and countless cultivation resources, enough for the city's inhabitants to not worry about resources for thousands of years.

At the same time.

The guards, hidden guards, and high-level cultivators hidden in various places were all in a state of peak condition, each looking full of energy, ready to unleash their potential in battle at two hundred percent.

Though they didn't have a single Sage Realm among them, in Zhao Yi's opinion, even an ordinary Sage Realm arriving would struggle to leave without a trace under their onslaught.

Zhao Yi observed this with Divine Thought, when suddenly, a fierce blade light descended from the sky!
