Chapter 1362: Giant Tree Growing From the Radiance Federation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
One small, delicate branch sprouted from the chair and tunneled out of the imperial court.

The roots planted themselves in the soil in the imperial court, and the branch continued to grow longer and longer.

10 meters, 100 meters, 1,000 meters, 10,000 meters, and 100,000 meters. Eventually, the tree became as thick as a dragon’s torso and grew lush golden leaves like phoenix feathers. This tree covered the entire Radiance Federation.

It turned into a sturdy and protective umbrella that sheltered the Radiance Federation from the rain of lava.

The tree stretched millions of meters, shone with golden light, and received the lava falling from the sky. The tens of thousands of branches stretching from the tree and its golden leaves resembled bolts of lightning that cupped balloon flowers of lava.

It did not take long for the golden leaves to be crushed by the lava.

A look of terror came over Du Miao’s face when he saw the enormous golden tree growing out of the Radiance Federation.

While Du Miao was considering whether he should continue, a raspy elderly voice boomed from the ancient golden tree. “The First Emperor Shark Clan had the gall to attack someone from the Radiance Federation over the ownership of a whale fall right outside of Raging Waves City.

“First, the Emperor Shark Clan publicly broke the agreement between the Radiance Federation and the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors and trampled all over it like it was no different than trash.

“Within a month, the First Emperor Shark Clan must send someone to the Radiance Federation to settle this matter!

“The Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower has reached pinnacle 10 Stars and has the strong ability to manipulate a celestial phenomenon. However, it should not be used against the Radiance Federation. I implanted the Radiant Source Imprint in the Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower. It can be removed in a year. If it’s removed forcefully, you can face the consequences yourself.”

Now, every living creature in the main world, from all factions and federations large and small, knew why this fight was happening.

Du Miao had noticed a change in the Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower even before the raspy elderly voice spoke, but he had not had the chance to investigate the golden imprint.

When he heard the elderly man say that this was the Radiant Source Imprint, he looked extremely upset.

Another elderly voice spoke from the Freedom Federation’s Freedom Mystic Temple. However, this voice sounded much more sly than the kind voice that had come from the ancient golden tree.

“The Radiance Federation started it. Although the First Emperor Shark Clan residing in the Freedom Federation has a grudge with the Radiance Federation, that does not justify the Radiance Federation taking action in our sea territory. But since Du Miao has also retaliated against you, we can consider this matter equalized. We can talk again during the Major Federation Meeting.”

It had indeed been inappropriate for Night Leaning Moon to attack the First Emperor Shark Clan in the Freedom Federation’s territory. However, it had been to settle a grudge.

It was different from how the Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower had unleashed lava on the 32 cities in the Radiance Federation.

The elderly man from the Freedom Mystic Temple was clearly distorting the facts. He also had not mentioned the Radiant Source Imprint, which made it clear that he did not care about Du Miao’s benefits at all.

However, the elderly man had voiced an important point.

The enmity between the Radiance Federation and the Freedom Federation had been ongoing for some time.

One of the Freedom Federation’s royalty had died in the Moon Empress’ hands, and she in turn had paid the horrible price of having her lifespan shortened to only three more years ten years ago. The bad blood between them ran too deep to be resolved.

If they truly started a clash to death, the entire main world would be destroyed in the process.

Hence, in order for one of them to emerge victorious, the best plan would be for each federation to send out a team to fight against each other at the Major Federation Meeting.

The elderly voice from the giant golden tree calmly agreed.

At this point, Night Leaning Moon and Shark Pride had halted their attacks.

The voice from the Freedom Federation said, “Since we’re going to fight it out at the Major Federation Meeting, we should make it more exciting. If the Radiance Federation loses, I want you to set up Star Web in the Freedom Federation.”

The voice from the ancient golden tree calmly replied, “If the Freedom Federation loses, you will give up one complete Class 5 Creation Master path legacy to the Radiance Federation.”

The elderly voice from the Freedom Federation agreed without hesitation. It was as though he had set up countless schemes which led him to utter the words of agreement. It seemed that the Freedom Federation had absolute confidence that they were going to win the fight.

This fight between the top experts of the world who had used their fully-grown sacred source lifeforms shocked every lifeform in the world and the factions that lacked fully-grown sacred source lifeforms. These factions now knew how important fully-grown sacred source lifeforms were.

However, the shock they felt about the fight could not compare to the overwhelming excitement they felt when they heard the stakes of the battle.

Star Web was the Radiance Federation’s specialty and completely unique to them.

Star Web was a coincidental creation that came from three sacred source lifeforms. One of them had been a fully-grown sacred source lifeform.

If the Freedom Federation wanted the Radiance Federation to bet Star Web, it would be the equivalent of asking the Radiance Federation to give up the second world that they prided themselves on.

Any federation that possessed Star Web would be able to expand rapidly.

However, the Freedom Federation’s stake was equally astonishing.

The Memory Stone was one of the Freedom Federation’s Secure Federation Treasures. It could copy all of an expert’s legacy on that expert’s death bed.

The complete legacy of one Class 5 Creation Master was stored in the Memory Stone. If this legacy was released, the Memory Stone would lose access to it forever.

This stake was the equivalent of the Freedom Federation giving up one Class 5 Creation Master.

It was difficult to say whether a Class 5 Creation Master or Star Web was more precious. One of them benefited all the people in a federation while the other benefited the federation’s experts. Regardless, these stakes were world-shattering.

Two years later, it seemed that the fight at the Major Federation Meeting would be at the peak of fierce intensity because neither federation could afford to lose its stake.

Everything reverted to peace. The night power faded away to reveal the setting sun, and the spring breeze was still warm.

However, Shark Pride and the First Emperor Shark Clan members beside it were exceptionally stern.

At that moment, Shark Pride was utterly befuddled. It was clear that the Radiance Federation’s Night Empress had attacked the First Emperor Shark Clan first. So how had it become the First Emperor Shark Clan who had broken the agreement first?

Shark Pride asked the man in red armor, who bore some similar features to Shark Pride and asked, “Second Brother, who did we assign our territory that’s closest to the Radiance Federation to?”

The man in red armor was momentarily speechless.
