Chapter 1039 The only hope
No one knew the origin of the Golden Immortal outside, but he actually comprehended the law of plague. The green-yellow mist was the manifestation of the law of plague.

What shocked Zhang Qian extremely was that his immortal Taoist body, his map of mountains, rivers, and the state, and the Qiankun Cauldron were simply unable to block the invasion of the plague law. The power of the plague law was like an all-pervasive virus, ignoring the protection of the map of mountains, rivers, and the state and the Qiankun Cauldron, and infecting his immortal Taoist body.

At this time, Zhang Qian deeply understood the terrifying aspect of the Daluo Golden Immortal, and also understood why all the heavens and worlds respected the Daluo Golden Immortal. The Daluo Golden Immortal who had comprehended the great law was too terrifying. Without the power of the law to protect himself, he could not contend at all and would be easily annihilated by the Daluo Golden Immortal.

If it weren't for the existence of Canyu, which protected his soul and true spirit, Zhang Qian knew that the law of plague would have corrupted his soul and true spirit and killed him completely.

In front of the Daluo Golden Immortal, the magical powers of the ninth level of the innate realm are still too weak, and only the magical powers of the laws of the acquired chaos realm have the power to resist.

hum!
At this moment, the big hole on the barrier of the world in the palm of her hand disappeared. The World Tree retracted its true body, and its face was very pale. In such a short time, it almost exhausted her energy to fill the hole in the barrier of the world, even with the help of the ancestral spiritual energy.

After plugging the loophole, the World Tree turned to look at Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian's body was now completely destroyed, with only his soul remaining. Fortunately, the plague law did not harm his soul, otherwise it would be another big trouble.

"But the Law of Plague?"

Zhang Qian took the initiative to speak, suppressing his anger and resentment in his heart.

The World Tree nodded and said, "Yes, the Daluo Jinxian outside achieved enlightenment through the Law of Plague, which is also rare. This kind of law ranks very low among the three thousand great ways, but it is extremely strange and hard to guard against. It is not very powerful in a head-on fight, but it can easily make people fall into its trap if it attacks from behind."

"Damn it! I won't be a human being if I don't take revenge!"

Zhang Qian gritted his teeth.

The World Tree consoled him, "Don't forget the innate foundation you cultivated in the Nine-aperture Creation Embryo. With that foundation, sooner or later you can use the Nine-aperture Creation Embryo to breed a more powerful innate body than the Immortal Dao Body. The other party is a Daluo Jinxian, so you'd better take a long-term view on revenge and don't be rash."

Zhang Qian nodded slightly. Fortunately, he had refined the Nine-Aperture Creation Fetus before, allowing a drop of his true blood and the imprint of his spiritual consciousness to be integrated into the Creation Fetus. That drop of true blood even turned from acquired to innate in the Fetus. As long as this foundation was not lost, he would be able to create a more perfect innate body sooner or later. It would just take an extremely long time.

If he didn't have the Nine-Aperture Creation Embryo as a fallback, Zhang Qian could only create a very fragile body again, and then practice again bit by bit, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.

This is what he never wants to see.

"Well, this loophole has disappeared. The Daluo Jinxian outside should be nowhere to be found. The Holy Blood Star is so huge that it can return to its original state and restore countless divine auras, which is enough for me to create an innate body. But it depends on the situation. The Daluo Jinxian outside will not leave easily. He has blocked our way out. How can we leave this world in the palm of our hand?"

Anyone would be terrified if a Daluo Jinxian blocked the door. "It's okay. I control the tripod that enters and exits the world in my palm. The entire world in my palm is hidden in the gap between the void of the universe. As long as I don't appear in the thirty-three heavens, I can completely avoid the sight of the Daluo Jinxian."

After hearing what the World Tree said, Zhang Qian felt a lot more at ease. The tripod in the World Tree's hand was the key and hub to enter and exit the world in his palm. This tripod was the key. Without this key in hand, no matter how powerful the Golden Immortal outside was, he would not be able to break into the world in his palm by brute force. Don't forget that the world in his palm was opened up by a powerful Saint, it is not that simple.

The World Tree once again carefully checked the gap it had closed, and after confirming that it was foolproof, it left here with Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian was left with only a soul, and under the protection of the Mountain and River Map and the Qiankun Cauldron, he still did not feel any sense of security, and the previous feeling of great power was gone. His physical body contained most of his power. His immortal realm was Taiyi Xuanxian, but his physical body was an immortal body, and his power was far higher than that of immortal cultivation.

He suffered heavy losses this time. When he returned to the Holy Blood Star, Zhang Qian had suppressed his rage and unwillingness deep in his heart, and appeared very calm.

It was of no use being unwilling. Now he could only place his hope on the power of the Nine-Aperture Creation Embryo and on the Holy Blood Star under his feet.

This star can return to its original state and restore countless divine auras. Those divine auras are the magical objects that make the innate foundation in the Nine Apertures Creation Embryo grow rapidly.

Fortunately, there is this Holy Blood Star, otherwise Zhang Qian would not have the conditions of the Tiandao Sect and so many innate spiritual veins to nourish his innate body.

At this moment, the World Tree was dragging a sphere that was tightly shrouded by the laws of life and death. Inside the sphere was Zhang Qian's body that had turned into dust. It was covered with green and yellow mycelium and was constantly sneezing out mist.

"The Golden Immortal outside is no ordinary person. He has clearly comprehended the Law of Plague to a very high level. Although the Law of Plague ranks low among the three thousand laws, any law that is comprehended to a high level has incredible power. It is very likely that the Golden Immortal outside is already in the late stage of the Golden Immortal, or even in the Great Perfection!"

The World Tree looked extremely solemn. She continued, "Fortunately, the world in our palm is a starry sky world. If it were a world with a round sky and a square earth, perhaps only a mist containing the law of plague would be enough to kill off trillions of lives in the world!"

Zhang Qian was shocked: "Is it that scary?"

“Just think about it. If this Daluo Jinxian were to send a plague mist into my Divine Tree World, no matter where the mist landed, as long as it came into contact with living beings, it would immediately spread at a crazy speed. And as more and more living beings were infected by the plague, the speed of the spread would become faster and faster, and eventually the entire world would be infected, and the plague would fill the entire world. At that time, all living things would be reduced to ashes.”

Zhang Qian thought about the horrible scene and had to admit that what the World Tree said was very likely to happen. The world in his palm was a starry sky world. Such a big world was occupied by a galaxy without any living creature. Fortunately, there were no living creatures on the stars in the galaxy, so the speed of the spread of the plague did not expand, otherwise the whole world would be over.

Just thinking about that scene makes people scared, but now Zhang Qian is the only unlucky one. The World Tree has only suffered minor injuries, and the source of the plague has also been sealed off, making it impossible for the plague to continue spreading.

Zhang Qian became interested in the Daluo Golden Immortal outside. Having achieved the Daluo Golden Immortal through the law of plague, this Daluo Golden Immortal must have committed a lot of killings. He could even guess that this Daluo Golden Immortal must have destroyed many worlds in the heavens and myriad worlds. And every time a world was destroyed by plague, this Daluo Golden Immortal's plague avenue would be greatly improved.
