Let them offer their loyalty!-Chapter 1570 - 657: The Death of Shu Xia!

Recently, Zhao Ji’s reputation in the "Boundless Heart Sea - Core Region" has been growing rapidly.

The root of it all is her formidable battle achievements: Fifth Order killing Sixth Rank, Sixth Rank killing Seventh Rank, Seventh Rank slaying Eighth Rank, securing a spot in the "Heavenly God Trial."

And then, upon initially entering the Eighth Rank, she managed to slay an Eighth Rank Peak!

Even though many factions suspect, like Qiu Tu, her power surged to Eighth Rank Peak in her "Controlled Area" leading to such accomplishments.

There are still some factions who doubt this, believing Zhao Ji might actually have combat power already at the Eighth Rank Peak.

Not for any other reason, but simply because Zhao Ji ranks in the top 10 in the "Heavenly God Trial" list, surpassing five or six Eighth Rank Peak Great Evil Gods.

Unlike Qiu Tu, Zhao Ji doesn’t have the advantage of territory. On the contrary, she’s a "Heavenly God Reincarnation" and likely carries a "Heavenly God Skill," leading many factions to assess her true combat power as possibly reaching the Eighth Rank Peak.

This is why Shu Xia is unafraid of Qiu Tu, yet deeply apprehensive about Zhao Ji.

Originally, after being beaten down by Qiu Tu today, what Shu Xia was most thankful for was Zhao Ji not being present.

Who would have thought... after escaping Eastern City, he’d encounter Zhao Ji!

He certainly wouldn’t consider their meeting as a mere coincidence.

So his expression darkened slightly, and he regarded Zhao Ji with a heavy gaze, his mind racing to devise a way out of this predicament.

Escape? Trickery? Pleading for mercy? Or... using Qiu Tu as leverage?

Before he could come up with a solution, Zhao Ji spoke first.

She glanced at Shu Xia and then said coldly, "I’m quite busy, make your move."

Hearing Zhao Ji’s words, Shu Xia panicked momentarily. He hurriedly said, "Wait! Her Majesty Zhao Ji!"

Zhao Ji regarded him coldly, her deep, chilling eyes resembling a frigid pool in the abyss.

Shu Xia realized his life hung by a thread, and he likely had just one chance to speak.

So his mind spun rapidly, and he quickly shouted, "Your Majesty! I know you!"

This decision of Shu Xia’s was indeed effective.

Zhao Ji was noticeably taken aback and then scrutinized Shu Xia with her emotionless eyes.

After a moment, she said with authority, "Since you know me, why haven’t you paid your respects!"

Shu Xia was clearly someone who could adapt as needed. Hearing her words, he dropped to his knees with a thud and said smoothly, "Greetings to Heavenly God, Your Majesty!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji’s icy face showed a touch of disappointment.

She shook her head slightly and then said, "You’re lying. You have no idea who I am."

Hearing Zhao Ji’s words, Shu Xia froze, then hurriedly shouted again, "Divine King, Your Majesty!"

This time, Zhao Ji let out a light chuckle.

She said dismissively, "Divine King?"

"Just a title made up by a few cowardly rodents."

"You ’Earth Deity’ might still yearn for such things, but for us ’Heavenly Gods,’ it’s beneath us to assume such titles."

Her face rarely showed a hint of disappointment, and then she said, "I thought you truly knew me. Unexpected... it was just for survival."

"Enough, I’ll send you on your way."

With that, she extended her hand downward, and in the next second, a long sword appeared in her grasp.

Seeing this, Shu Xia truly panicked, and he quickly shouted again, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Anything Qiu Tu can do, I can do too!"

"Give me a chance! Just give me a chance!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ji’s expression remained unchanged.

She simply looked at Shu Xia and then casually swung her sword!

In the next second, a crescent-shaped Sword Qi shot out at great speed!

The Sword Qi was only as wide as an arm, seeming ordinary, without any threatening force.

But Shu Xia’s hairs stood on end!

Because at the very moment he saw that Sword Qi, his Soul and consciousness alarmed continuously, warning him that this Sword Qi was dangerous! Impossible to withstand!

Hence he reflexively attempted to dodge that Sword Qi!

But as he tried to move his body, he found himself firmly locked in place! Completely unable to budge!

The feeling was as if that inconspicuous Sword Qi, from hundreds of meters away, pressured him solely with its weight! Forcing him to a death!

Faced with the threat to his Life, Shu Xia’s eyes nearly burst! He shouted loudly, "Ah!" and recklessly activated the Cataclysmic Power!

At that moment, any thoughts of remaining low-key or preserving strength were thrown aside!

In his heart, there was only one desire, and that was to survive!

In that instant, the largest possible "Tree Realm" unfolded, and a giant tree silhouette towered over his back! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The enormous tree silhouette was entirely formed by specks of light, obscuring the sky, with branches swaying, scattering glimmers of light!

Those glimmers fell to the ground, causing every plant under the shade to begin wildly growing!

As those plants grew frantically, strands of green Divine Light started to gather onto Shu Xia!

That Divine Light seemed alive, wrapping around him, forming a set of green armor that protected Shu Xia!

This is Shu Xia’s second ability, "Ancient Tree Divine Armor."

This Cataclysmic ability can stimulate the growth of all plants within a 5-kilometer radius, connect with their vitality, and form an "armor" to be worn.

This armor not only boasts strong defense but also possesses healing and enhancement abilities, making it a Divine Skill for prolonged battles.
