One by one, all the masters released tremendous energy. They all showcased their various skills as they formed giant hands that reached for the eight holy trees.
Seeing their powers work together was terrifying to behold. The energy radiating from them choked the air between the earth and sky. It came in waves and waves, threatening to devour the entire world.
It was too late now for Austin to execute his plans.
He wanted to teleport the eight holy trees into his Slave Tower and leave through the void, but the masters had now sealed the entire area with their energy.
Even with his abilities in spatial power, he couldn't break through the energy barrier surrounding them.
Austin gritted his teeth and took out the two pots again. The two pots grew larger and larger until they reached the size of two mountains and stood in front of him like guards.
With two explosive sounds, the two pots were knocked off into the air, leaving two dark holes in their wake.
Austin soon followed after he got hit by an impressive force of energy. He spewed out blood as he was thrown into the air.
Tremendous energy rushed into his body, with a force that almost shattered his body.
Suddenly, the door to the secret realm of his heart opened. Out came a deity bathed in light. It opened its mouth and a galaxy of stars spilled out of it.
At this moment, Austin's body flared like a bright fire.
It fended off the evil energy surging inside him.
Even though his injuries were fatal, it was healed by his Phoenix Nirvana Skills.
Amazed by the newfound power brought by the deity within him, Austin could not help but be pleasantly surprised.
"What the hell?"
All the masters stared in shock as they witnessed how Austin recovered so rapidly despite their joint attacks. He had just puked out blood and yet he was perfectly fine now.
Immediately, they all scrambled to reach the eight holy trees.
"Damn it! Brothers, why are you still sleeping? We're going to be taken away. Wake up, Sherman!"
The supreme holy tree roared at the other four sleeping trees. It shook them violently, trying to wake them up.
The four giant trees seemed to have finally sensed their brother's plea. Divine lights lit up their branches and leaves, filling up the whole sky.
"They're finally waking up!"
Austin was overjoyed at the sight.
"Let us join forces to create the array!"
One of the recently awakened trees ordered as soon as it realized what was happening.
Sudde
ng the people. Soon, they began running towards the entrance.
Austin found himself confused by the sight that greeted him as soon as he and the holy trees entered the Celestial Palace. Everything was blurry inside.
It was filled to the brim with mysterious lights and colored clouds.
Austin unleashed his spiritual sense at once and found out that the inside of the palace stretched infinitely.
"This is the immortal energy. Real immortal energy!"
Austin realized, surprised and delighted to be feeling the immortal energy simmering inside the palace.
The energy here was the same as that of the mysterious cave guarded by Corey and Faran in the Immortal End World.
But it was denser and purer here.
"Indeed, there is immortal energy here. After all, it is the palace of the old bastard.
It also contains many treasures."
The supreme holy tree explained as soon as it saw the look of surprise on Austin's face.
It had just talked with the other four trees and gathered information about the situation inside the Celestial Palace.
"So it is true that the mysterious great master lived here in the Celestial Palace."
Austin murmured, a little shocked.
The cave guarded by Corey and Faran in the Immortal End World was also once a palace of the same great master.
It seemed that this great master had left many things behind in this universe.
"Your people from the Immortal End World can help themselves with the treasures here.
I think that old bastard must have left many precious items behind.
This may be a great opportunity for your people. Come now, boy."
The supreme holy tree smiled encouragingly at Austin.
