The two-colored light shone brightly like newly lit flame, flickering from far away. The center of the
whole ancestral land seemed to have hit the glare directly, where there appeared to be Treasures from
Heaven and Earth.
"The light contains the evil spirit and pure continent spirit. The grand humanoid evil tree must be there!"
Ricky exclaimed, exhilarated.
With no hesitation in his steps, he strode forward and entered the humanoid evil flower garden beneath
the ground.
"Did you make it?" the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora both eagerly asked when they felt
the aura of a real spiritual emperor from Ricky. After all, they had been worried about him all this time.
They both cherished Ricky in their hearts as their closest friend for a long time, and the adventures
they had gone through only strengthened that.
"I made it!" Ricky told them happily.
I'm a real spiritual emperor now!" "I can't believe you have made it without a Heavenly Meridian!
And I can't imagine how you broke through the Thunderstroke Dooms." The Dragon Intent Grass
sounded thrilled and awed at the same time.
Perhaps, it would be a long time before its excitement about Ricky's success in becoming a spiritual
emperor died down.
"Actually, I didn't break through any Thunderstroke Doom this time. I avoided that disaster because
when I became an incredible demi-spiritual emperor, Oswald's Thunderstroke Doom could also be
viewed as mine," Ricky corrected the Dragon Intent Grass immediately. From the start, he had no
intention of hiding this from the Dragon Intent Grass or the Evil Mandragora. He didn't want to hide
anything from those who treated him sincerely.
"What? You didn't break through any Thunderstroke Doom?" The Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil
Mandragora were taken aback by Ricky's words.
The Evil Mandragora's eyebrows were narrowed in confusion, and both of them could not understand
what Ricky was trying to say.
"The heavenly law bestowed me this grace!" declared Ricky. The expressions on his companions'
faces told him they didn't understand him still, so he relayed what had happened to him briefly.
"Well, to put it succinctly, there is no chance of survival in a five-colored Thunderstroke Doom.
No creature in this world can break through a five-colored Thunderstroke Doom and become a spiritual
emperor with his strength unless the heavenly law gives him grace," he continued. Both the Dragon
Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora fell into a thoughtful silence from his words.
They did understand now what Ricky was saying, but it was too much to process at once.
They didn't think Ricky was lying to them, but what they heard sounded too shocking, so they were
speechless.
"Please, don't ask me why, as I don't know the answer either. The heavenly law doesn't allow a
creature who can incur a five-colored Thunderstroke Doom to exist. But in some cases, the heavenly
law gives such warriors grace, just like Oswald and me," Ricky explained with a puzzled look.
"And I guess those incredible demi-spiritual emperors in history who successfully broke through the
Thunderstroke Dooms and became spiritual emperors had also succeeded through the grace of the
heavenly law."
"Ricky, your words are awe-inspiring. I already have much knowledge, and yet you could still shock me!
I'm glad I can learn these things from you," the Dragon Intent Grass told him seriously.
"It seems that the heavenly law is indeed everywhere," the Evil Mandragora murmured lowly. She, too,
had an awestruck expression on her face as she nodded silently to herself.
As Ricky spoke with the Dragon Intent Grass and the Evil Mandragora, he unintentionally roused
Queenie, who had been cultivating in seclusion.
Of course, he could tell that she had already made a breakthrough.
"No way! You've become a spiritual emperor!" Queenie blurted out in shock as soon as she became
mindful of her surroundings.
"Ha-ha, it's just a fluke!" Ricky answered her dismissively.
"It seems that my breakthrough is nothing in front of you. Now that you've become a spiritual emperor,
you will undoubtedly become much more powerful," remarked Queenie unhappily.
She had expected to suppress Ricky after her breakthrough, but she had not expected that he would
become a spiritual emperor in turn.
Actually, she didn't dwell too much on Ricky's success, nor did she think that it was something
unbelievable. After all, she had no idea that Ricky didn't have a Heavenly Meridian. What surprised her
was merely the short time it took for him to become a spiritual emperor.
"Let's talk about it later. There is two-colored light formed by the evil spirit and the continent spirit in an
area far away from here. Didn't you tell me that is the sign of the presence of the grand humanoid evil
tree? Maybe it's there," Ricky urgently told her.
"What?!" Queenie was stunned.
However, she quickly recovered from her shock, and they hurried to come up from beneath the ground.
"This is great news! The two-colored light is indeed the sign of the presence of the grand humanoid evil
tree. So, it means that the grand humanoid evil tree in this era has finally appeared." Queenie looked
so excited to see the two-colored light that she resembled a young child on the eve of her birthday.
With no time to waste, they rushed towards that area.
The area was so far away that it took them two days and two nights to reach it.
They found a forest filled with ancient vines that were so thick that they could walk on it with no
difficulty.
It was a world of giant trees. However, these trees didn't grow from the soil. Instead, the handful of dirt
appeared to come from the tree itself. It was like the trees composed the whole area, while everything
else existed from it. Every giant tree was emitting the oldest and the most profound aura.
Thick branches of unknown lengths crisscrossed everywhere in sight.
Once they entered the canopy of trees, they immediately felt endless unknown dangers come to them.
"How old is this ancient vine forest?" Ricky asked in a low voice.
"I would say, maybe around ten eras or more. I didn't expect the grand humanoid evil tree to appear in
an ancient vine forest this time," answered Queenie.
Ricky nodded and then blinked, activating his Golden Spirit Eyes.
"You don't need to activate your Golden Spirit Eyes. You can't see the grand humanoid evil tree with
them anyway. If you want to get the grand humanoid evil tree, you need to have great luck and real
strength." Queenie stopped him with a sly smirk on her face.
"So you lied to me again," Ricky remarked with a helpless shrug when he heard her words, his
shoulders drooping down.
After all, when he began to use the Golden Spirit Eyes, Queenie didn't tell him that they were useless
here.
"I'm inferior to you in terms of strength, so I have to be superior in terms of tactics. Don't you think that's
wise?" she answered lightly.
"What kind of luck do we need to obtain the grand humanoid evil tree?" Ricky asked, opting to change
the subject instead of arguing with Queenie.
"I don't know yet. The grand humanoid evil tree is a sacred object formed in the ancestral land in every
era. It can also be perceived as the will of the ancestral land in every era, and it will select its owner by
itself," relayed Queenie.
"Really?" Ricky murmured pensively.
"We are out of luck. The two-colored light only appeared in this ancient vine forest. There was nothing
that even resembled it in the whole ancestral land, so it seems that there is only one grand humanoid
evil tree in this era," she continued, shaking her head.
"Otherwise, with your strength, you're very likely to get a grand humanoid evil tree!"
"I've become a spiritual emperor. This trip is a complete success for me. The grand humanoid evil tree
is not important to me anymore." Ricky smiled.
"Humph! That's because you don't know enough about the grand humanoid evil tree," Queenie
snorted, pouting at his words.
Boom! At this moment, the two-colored light above the ancient vine forest seemed to come to life. It
condensed in the blink of an eye and formed the shadow of a huge tree.
"That's the shadow of the grand humanoid evil tree! So the grand humanoid evil tree is indeed showing
up in the ancient vine forest! Ricky, if you help me get that tree, I promise to do three things for you. Of
course, I don't mean I will make difficulties for you!"
Queenie blabbered excitedly.
"If you keep your promise, that would be great," Ricky replied with a smile.
"What do you mean? Are you implying I don't keep my promise?" Queenie said coldly.
"I didn't say that!"
Swish!
Swish!
While they were arguing, the towering trees in the whole forest started to shift dramatically, and the
branches which were as thick as Flood Dragons surged in wave-like tempo.
"What's going on? Are these the humanoid evil flowers?" Ricky asked in alarm as he looked around at
the trees cautiously.
"Humanoid evil flowers are not this numerous! The grand humanoid evil tree must have begun to select
its owner!" Queenie answered with great excitement.
