BTTH: Rebirth of Liu Xi

”Hahaha, you two may do as you please. As for this Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, this old man will gladly accept it. In any case, losing one or two Dou Saints won’t make much difference to your clans.”

Ying Huang burst into laughter, his voice echoing through the sky as a torrent of overwhelming Dou Qi erupted from his body. In the next instant, a colossal phantom—nearly a thousand meters long—took shape behind him. It was a mighty Heaven Demon Phoenix.

The Heaven Demon Phoenix spread its wings, slicing through the void like blades, and shot forward toward the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree as if intending to seize it outright.

Gasps erupted below. No one expected this Dou Saint to abandon all formality, launching an ambush while the other two Dou Saints were still locked in their standoff.

Up in the sky, the Gu Clan’s Dou Saint and the Hall of Souls’ First Tianzun exchanged glances, tacitly choosing not to interfere as they watched Ying Huang’s reckless charge.

After all, the Heaven Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe were merely remnants of the Ancient Heaven Phoenix bloodline. Their records of ancient history were far less complete than those of the Gu Clan or the Hun Clan.

They didn’t realize the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was no ordinary heavenly treasure. This made Ying Huang the perfect test subject.

Inside the Tree Spirit’s space, Liu Xi blinked in disbelief. ’There’s actually a lunatic charging the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree head-on? Does he not know that this tree’s origins reach back to the Ancient Era, possessing power comparable to a Dou Di?’

Rustle... rustle...

The ten-zhang-tall, jade-green Bodhisattva Ancient Tree swayed its crown, its leaves rubbing together to produce a sharp, grating rustle.

o(▼皿▼メ;)o

The last one who dared to charge at it was a black-robed Dou Di—and he’s long dead, with grass grown tall upon his grave!

Now a mere Dou Saint dares bare his fangs before it? The Ancient Tree was furious. And the consequences would be severe.

Boom!

In an instant, an unfathomable surge of energy burst forth from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, its force vast enough to drown the world.

At that very moment, everyone felt their hair stand on end. Even the First Tianzun and the Gu Clan Dou Saint above the clouds trembled. Before this power, even Dou Saints were mere ants.

As for Ying Huang—terror seized his heart. Death’s shadow loomed over him. His body, mid-flight, could no longer stop. He was flying straight into oblivion.

For a fleeting moment, Ying Huang recalled the days he had once soared through crimson sunsets... but now, all that filled his heart was regret.

’Old man, you fool... how could you die like this...’

Boom!

The infinite energy crashed downward, crushing space into shards as it collided with the Heaven Demon Phoenix’s phantom. The phantom shattered instantly, and within it, Ying Huang’s physical body disintegrated—his soul obliterated. Everything was erased into nothingness.

When Ying Huang perished, the energy immediately withdrew back into the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, mending the torn space as though nothing had happened. In the clear sky above, no trace of Ying Huang or his Heaven Demon Phoenix shadow remained.

The heavens were serene once again, pure and transparent.

Above the Ancient Tree, wisps of sacred, tranquil light lingered, transforming into myriad shapes, radiating a divine, peaceful aura.

Yet it was this very calm that chilled everyone to the bone. Recalling the scene they had just witnessed sent cold sweat down their backs.

Even the two Dou Saints in the sky were no exception. Precisely because they were Dou Saints, they understood best just how terrifying the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree truly was.

That was divine power—something mortals could never possess.

”Elder Ying Huang!”

Jiu Feng’s anguished cry echoed through the air, his expression deranged. But no one could respond. The elder he called for had been erased so thoroughly not even ashes remained.

For the Heaven Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe to lose a Dou Saint—Jiu Feng could already imagine the punishment that awaited him when he returned.

”Brother Xiao Yan, you’d best hand over the Bodhisattva Seed and the method by which you obtained it, or you won’t be leaving here alive.”

Jiu Feng’s voice was cold as the winds of the Nine Netherworlds, cutting straight through the heart. He had to earn merit—otherwise, his fate would be sealed.

He shuddered slightly. His gaze toward Xiao Yan grew colder. If he could retrieve the Bodhisattva Seed and use it to break through to Half Saint, he could at least prove his worth.

As Jiu Feng’s killing intent spread, Xiao Yan finally snapped from his daze. Yet no matter what, he couldn’t explain how he had gained the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree’s favor and received the Seed.

So he stayed silent.

”Kill Him!”

Jiu Feng barked the order, and his Dou Qi exploded outward as he charged at Xiao Yan with murderous speed.

The moment he moved, the tension in the air shattered. Hun Yu and Liu Cang darted forward as well, their combined Dou Qi tearing through the clouds.

The Gu Clan’s Dou Saint frowned. The situation had turned dire. With Ying Huang’s wild card gone, the balance of power was broken—and now, because of Xiao Yan, even the Gu Clan had become a target.

Just as he was about to intervene, the First Tianzun’s eerie laughter echoed through the sky. With ghostlike speed, he blocked the Gu Clan’s Dou Saint.

”Jie jie jie... what’s the rush? We still have old debts to settle. Today’s a fine time to clear them.”

The Gu Clan Dou Saint’s expression darkened, his aura flaring with immense force that pressed down on the First Tianzun. ”You know who Xun’er is. If she comes to harm, can you bear the consequences?”

The First Tianzun sneered. ”Relax. No one will touch Lady Xun’er. They know their limits. They only want Xiao Yan. Or does your Gu Clan mean to monopolize everything? That’s far too domineering.”

”One battle!” the Gu Clan Dou Saint declared coldly.

He knew with Gu Xun’er’s strength, few could threaten her. As for Xiao Yan—he wasn’t particularly concerned.

”Jie jie... then one battle!” the First Tianzun replied, his laughter sharp and cruel.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The clash of two Dou Saints tore the heavens apart. The bright sky shattered like glass under their might.

Meanwhile, beneath the tree—

Jiu Feng’s killing intent erupted, and dozens of experts joined in. This was no longer a confrontation; it was a massacre.

”Run!” Xiao Yan roared.

Gu Xun’er didn’t hesitate. Grabbing Xiao Yan, she turned and fled, the Gu Clan and Falling Star Pavilion experts immediately following. They sped away from the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.

Against dozens of Dou Zuns, escape was the only option. Whether they could live or die now depended on fate.

Liu Xi, watching from within the Tree Spirit’s space, wasn’t particularly interested in whether Xiao Yan survived. What truly caught his attention was a massive monster core—about the size of a human head—glowing with alternating shades of crimson and cyan.

Within it pulsed an immense, terrifying energy. It was the monster core of Ying Huang—the Heaven Demon Phoenix that the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had just annihilated. His body and soul had been wiped out, leaving only this core behind.

Liu Xi’s heart leapt with excitement. He already had Gu You’s body and soul—the only thing missing was a top-grade monster core.

With this 9th Rank Monster Core, he could finally refine a Dou Saint–level Heavenly Demon Puppet—an ultimate killing weapon under the heavens.

”Senior, may I have this monster core? I happen to need a 9th Rank one,” Liu Xi said with a sheepish grin toward the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree.

The Ancient Tree rustled its branches and lightly tapped the still-warm core, tossing it toward him.

Catching the head-sized monster core in both hands, Liu Xi felt the surging power within and looked up at the ten-zhang Bodhisattva Ancient Tree with great fondness.

’I Love it. I truly love it. Being pampered by the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree feels... incredible.’

Liu Xi: A-shu, I don’t want to work hard anymore...
