[Tree] Chapter 504: Tyrant of the Void

As Stella was caught up in the situation from the start by everyone present, her excitement after hearing Elaine's big news regarding her expecting twins soon twisted into rage.

"We just don't know what to do," Elaine said, her head hung low. "One of us will inevitably be sacrificed. Of cou...

[Tree] Chapter 503: Twins

Ashlock had been reborn as a tree after living as a human for decades.

He became recognized by a human girl as her father, defied the heavens at every turn, built a sect, and became recognized as a godlike being—even going so far as to create his own afterlife. So it was suffice to say th...

[Tree] Chapter 502: Left Behind

Elaine Voidmind stood at the front of an eager class that was abuzz with excitement and surveyed the room. Every one of the cultivators present, adorned in black cloaks embroidered with a single red eye, had been handpicked by her—they were the elites of the Ashfallen Sect's disciples, h...

[Tree] Chapter 501: Suspicions

Weeks passed, and Bob grew more terrified of his elder sister by the day.

Not because of her bloodlust, short temper, or general demeanor—no, he feared her insatiable thirst for knowledge and power. Ever since arriving, Bob had been made to participate in one experiment after anoth...

[Tree] Chapter 500: Bob

[Congratulations Bob, you have been granted sapience by the Origin of Rebirth]

Bob became aware for the first time. Like the big bang, his new consciousness rippled through his body as all the million individual nodes became connected into one single being. ...

[Tree] Chapter 499: Primordial Force

Thalos Tessellate returned to his house through the Aether as fast as he could. In a flash of white flames, he materialized inside the meeting hall. His family soon followed, and by their pale faces, he could tell that they were experiencing the same thing—absolute fear.

"Just what was th...

[Tree] Chapter 498: Nobody Special

Thalos Tessellate couldn't make any sense of the report on his desk.

For three consecutive months, the Tessellate family had failed to deliver their regular shipment of basic supplies and pills to the Citadel. As a floating rock stuck in a spatial storm, they didn't have the means to provid...

[Tree] Chapter 497: New Abode

Due to her new home residing next to the destroyed Anchor Pylon, it wasn't exactly hard to find. There was a reason the land and the houses were sold so cheaply.

As she passed through the noble district in the shadows of the Anchor Pylons that towered into the sky, she could see how they cr...

[Tree] Chapter 496: Auction

Stella appeared to have stunned Kael into mute silence with the revelation that she had been the one to blow up the Anchor Pylon, which surprised her. Who else had he thought was responsible? It seemed the gears were slowly turning in his head as he pieced together her motives.

They were si...

[Tree] Chapter 495: Buying a House is Easy

After three long months, Kael prepared to leave his bedroom a changed man—both mentally and spiritually. He half-expected Stella, the strange princess from a higher layer of creation, to be gone, as it had taken him so long to rebuild his cultivation from the ground up.

Rushing to the Sta...

[Tree] Chapter 494: General

Two weeks had passed since Stella and Diana entered the Eternal Realm, and Ashlock had not been idle. He was currently out to the north, scanning the land for any stray monsters.

He had been forced to take a more active role in fending off the beast tide due to Stella and Diana's abs...

[Tree] Chapter 493: Starvation

"What?" Stella questioned as Kael stared at her, the slightest tinge of red reaching his cheeks. "What?" she said again, a little louder. That seemed to break Kael out of his stupor.

"Sorry—I didn't mean to stare," he looked down at the floor.

Stella had no idea what was happ...

Kael shivered—he had only seen a glimpse before Stella turned her attention toward the shopkeeper, but that was all he had needed. As a Rift

[Tree] Chapter 489: Tainted Beast Core

Sam's stomach churned as he took in a lungful of the monster's putrid breath. It snarled and lunged to bite at his face, but he barely managed to wrestle it in place by hooking his legs around its head and gripping its maw. He strained as his fingers, coated in earth Qi, barely found grip ...

[Tree] Chapter 488: Teaming Up

Sam had only just moved his family from the monster-infested farms and settled them in the more rundown part of Ashfallen City when he was abruptly hailed back to White Stone Peak alongside every other cultivator under the Ashfallen Sect.

Heart beating like a drum in his chest, Sam r...

[Tree] Chapter 486: Ethereal Deer

Stella stood before the desolation portal with a knot in her stomach. Despite being asked to leave Moros, she had been meditating next to Ashlock's trunk, intently listening to the pulse of his soul to get an idea of how the battle was going. The amount of Qi gushing out of his soul into h...

[Tree] Chapter 485: Facing a Soul Forest

Ig'Zal had bitten off more than he could chew, and it had begun with getting ahead of himself and thinking he could eat away at the great Zephyrine's mind. While he had caught her in a trance by a stroke of luck, her mental fortitude eclipsed his Qi pool, meaning the moment he ran out of p...

Rewrite of last chapter

Hey everyone! Been a while since I've had to do this. Sometimes I write a chapter, and it doesn't hit the mark you all expect of me and the story. When this happens, I'm also self-reflective and, in some cases, go back and rewrite the old chapter.

In Chapter 484's case, after some re-readin...

[Tree] Chapter 484: Brutal Attack

Ashlock had never fought a psychic affinity cultivator or monster before. But compared to someone like Astralis, who could annihilate with the power of the stars, what could a beast with psychic affinity do? Capture his mind? Rewrite his memories? All terrible outcomes, but what could they...

[Tree] Chapter 483: Advance

Ashlock retreated from Astralis's ruined mind as requested.

The dragon had undoubtedly suffered from some intense mental manipulation. Despite his outwardly egotistical persona, his mind was a complete mess. If he had to give a metaphor, usually the consciousness of a cultivator or monster ...

[Tree] Chapter 482: Abomination

Astralis had seen what Veylorak—the Dread Maw of the Molten Depths—was capable of. He was one of the oldest Primal Overlords and had legends dating from before Astralis was even born. For most Primal Overlords, as their cultivation level developed, they could suppress their instincts...

[Tree] Chapter 481: Making a Blunder

On the dawn of the next day, Ashlock awoke from his slumber and immediately went to check on Moros. While he had managed to resist the call of sleep a lot recently, he was still a slothful tree and needed to rest under the nine moons to heal his soul and rapidly recover Qi.

But he was nervo...

[Tree] Chapter 480: (Interlude) Returning Home

Sam was returning home—to the farm where it had all begun a year ago. He had wandered off from home and encountered a monster that had hunted him down. As he cowered under a rock, facing death, Stella saved his life at the last possible moment. That night, his life was put on a new path.

Book 7 Cover Art

Finally got the cover for book 7! It's based on the scene of Stella walking with Ryker down the floating steps from Moros to confront the Silverspire family.

[Tree] Chapter 479: Daughter, why do you want me dead?

Ashlock had known Astralis was huge due to his vast shadow lurking in the storm last time, but he would have never guessed the dragon was this massive. The dragon utterly dwarfed Moros despite the flagship being a hundred meters in length. What had been even more terrifying was how such ...
