BTTH: Rebirth of Liu Xi

Beneath the towering Bodhisattva Ancient Tree, Liu Xi stood with his hands clasped behind his back. Even as a vast ocean of raging Spiritual Energy surged toward him from afar—its waves brimming with destructive power—his expression remained utterly calm, unshaken by fear or awe.

His gaze was indifferent. Though he could no longer use Dou Qi, his body had long been tempered by countless heavenly treasures and earthly wonders. Ordinary attacks could hardly break through his physical defenses. If he could get close enough, relying solely on his brute strength, he might even be able to turn the tables and counter-kill an opponent.

But there was no need for him to act. When the tidal wave of Spiritual Energy came within a thousand meters, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree released a boundless radiance. A transparent barrier swiftly spread outward, rippling like the surface of a calm lake under the assault of the Spiritual Energy tide.

The tree itself had raised the barrier to shield him. Compared to Liu Xi, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was a true divine treasure born of heaven and earth. The entire Great Thousand Worlds seemed to favor it, pouring the power of the land and the air into it, hastening its restoration and aiding its rapid completion of Spiritual Energy transformation.

Now, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had already recovered its peak state.

”An artifact protecting its master?”

Xue Lingzi’s face darkened in disbelief, though greed soon flashed deep within his eyes. Even without invoking any Divine Abilities, the Blood Spiritual Energy he released could make even other High Level Earth Sovereigns wary. Yet that simple, glowing barrier had nullified his strike as if it were nothing.

It was enough to prove the tree’s overwhelming power.

Realizing he could not subdue it alone, Xue Lingzi’s eyes flickered slyly. He turned toward the other three Clan Leaders beside him, smiling as he spoke:

”Clan Leader Luo, Clan Leader Li, Clan Leader Gu, don’t just stand there watching. If we can’t even break this divine tree’s barrier, how can we hope to claim it?”

”Let’s strike together—destroy the shield, kill that boy beneath it, seize the divine tree, and then discuss how to divide the spoils.”

Li Wushuang and Gu Aotian both nodded in grim agreement. Their gazes burned with the same greed. A divine tree capable of granting enlightenment and comprehension of the Dao—such a thing could become the cornerstone for a clan’s rise to supremacy.

Then, the three of them turned their eyes toward Luo Tianshen. Their meaning was clear: if he refused to join in, they would eliminate him first.

Luo Tianshen understood perfectly. If he held back, they would strike at him next. His face remained expressionless, but inwardly he sighed helplessly. He did covet the divine tree, yet the youth beneath it was far too calm.

A being who had transcended from the lower world could not possibly be an ordinary fool. That calmness implied confidence—hidden cards, perhaps even fatal ones. But since things had already reached this point, he could not stand aside.

”Fine.”

He exhaled softly, making up his mind. He would appear to cooperate—but would not take the lead.

”Then allow this old man to make the first move,” Xue Lingzi said with a smirk. ”Clan Leaders, don’t hold back your strength.”

His voice fell, followed by a thunderous roar:

”Blood Shadow Celestial Body—Blood Shadow Sky-Treading Step!”

The three Low Level Earth Sovereigns of the Blood God Clan were hurled outward by his Blood Shadow Celestial Body. The enormous crimson shadow fused with Xue Lingzi, and an ocean of Blood Spiritual Energy erupted heavenward, thick and oppressive, carrying the stench of decay. The sky itself seemed to bleed as the phantom’s colossal foot descended, summoning a vast sea of blood capable of corroding all Spiritual Energy. Even another High Level Earth Sovereign caught within it might have his Spiritual Power dissolved until nothing remained.

Luo Tianshen’s calm voice followed:

”Luo River Celestial Body—Galactic Descent!”

An immense surge of Spiritual Energy flooded the heavens as his Celestial Body manifested—a holy, majestic figure shimmering with the brilliance of divine rivers. The Celestial Body clapped its hands, and a silver river poured down from the sky, its majestic current threatening to drown everything in its path.

”Strength God Celestial Body—Divine Force Fist!”

Li Wushuang bellowed, and a titanic Celestial Body, heavy as a mountain, swung a colossal fist. The Spiritual Energy coiled around its arm tore the void apart, leaving jagged black rifts across the air.

”Bone Demon Celestial Body—Petrifying Bone Light!”

Gu Aotian’s cold voice echoed as a skeletal Celestial Body formed beside the others, its mouth opening to unleash an ashen beam that carried an aura of utter destruction.

The remaining twelve Earth Sovereigns were not to be outdone. They each summoned their own Celestial Bodies, flooding the heavens with boundless Spiritual Energy. The sight of sixteen titans standing shoulder to shoulder made heaven and earth quake.

The sheer power of their combined might was enough to make the world tremble.

Liu Xi watched their every move, his expression mixed with curiosity and awe. ”So this is the true power of the Great Thousand Worlds,” he murmured. ”Comparable to a high-tier Dou Saint, yet capable of explosive might beyond it… This should be what they call Celestial Bodies—similar to a Dou Di’s form.”

As a transmigrator, he had studied the ways of this world, though this was his first time witnessing them firsthand.

”That’s enough learning for now,” Liu Xi said softly, his tone almost lazy. ”Bodhisattva, you can deal with them.”

At his words, the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree trembled. A terrifying pulse of Spiritual Energy burst from its trunk, as though a slumbering dragon had just awakened.

Heaven and earth fell silent. Then, the world itself seemed to kneel. Boundless Spiritual Energy gathered toward the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree as countless streams of luminous aura coiled around its branches.

Those gentle rays of clear light seemed harmless—but wherever they passed, the Blood Sea withered, the Galaxy dried up, and the Celestial Bodies shattered into dust. The energy that had once fueled those majestic forms was devoured and refined into the tree’s own power.

Xue Lingzi and the others stared in horror, their eyes bulging. Sixteen Celestial Bodies—each belonging to an Earth Sovereign—had been annihilated in an instant.

Even a Perfect Earth Sovereign could not have done this. The difference in power was too vast.

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree had unleashed strength comparable to that of a Heavenly Sovereign.

In the Great Thousand Worlds—Earth Sovereigns ruled as kings, Heavenly Sovereigns reigned as emperors, And above all, those emperors looked down upon all kings.

To face a being with the might of a Heavenly Sovereign was to face despair itself.

In the next instant, the sixteen Earth Sovereigns were completely engulfed by the boundless clear light.

Silence returned to the world.

Liu Xi didn’t seem surprised. The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree’s calm meant there were no threats nearby—only annoyances.

”Bodhisattva,” he said with a faint smile, ”if any of them are still alive, capture one. We might as well ask for directions. I still have no idea what corner of the world this is.”

The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree let out a low hum in response, acknowledging his command.
