BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

The entire floating primordial lake trembled violently as terrifying golden waves exploded outward from Tony’s body.

Ancient dragon pressure filled the surrounding region instantly.

Even the nearby floating roots began vibrating faintly beneath the aura release.

Tony himself remained suspended above the chaotic essence while streams of golden primordial energy continuously flowed around his body like living serpents.

His transformation had not fully stabilized yet.

Golden dragon markings flickered beneath his skin repeatedly.

Sometimes visible.

Sometimes hidden.

His pupils themselves still carried faint vertical dragon slits before slowly returning normal again.

Meanwhile...

Inside Tony’s body, complete reconstruction continued violently.

His blood.

His bones.

His organs.

Even the spinal tree core itself had transformed completely.

Previously, Tony’s spinal tree resembled ordinary martial branches carrying life energy through cultivation pathways.

But now...

A faint golden dragon-shaped core coiled around the center of his spinal tree structure itself.

Ancient primordial energy flowed through every branch continuously.

The life energy density inside his body had increased several times over.

Most terrifyingly...

His recovery speed became absurd.

Tiny cracks appearing throughout his body healed almost instantly beneath the primordial aura.

The spirit quietly observed him afterward while countless golden runes floated around the floating lake.

"...unexpected..." she whispered softly.

Tony slowly opened his eyes afterward.

The moment his gaze moved—

The surrounding chaotic energy trembled slightly.

Tony himself immediately noticed the difference.

His senses had sharpened enormously.

He could hear distant life rivers flowing through the World Tree roots.

He could sense hidden energy streams beneath floating islands.

Even the unstable spatial cracks nearby became easier to predict instinctively.

Tony slowly clenched his fist afterward.

CRRRRKKKK!!!

The surrounding air instantly cracked slightly from pure physical force alone.

Tony’s eyes immediately narrowed afterward.

His raw body strength had increased dramatically.

Not through cultivation breakthrough...

But through biological evolution itself.

The spirit calmly floated closer afterward.

"...your genes adapted far better than expected..."

Tony immediately frowned slightly afterward.

"Adapted?"

The spirit slowly nodded.

"...ordinary humans cannot withstand primordial chaotic blessing essence..."

"...their bodies collapse..."

"...or mutate into failures..."

Tony silently looked toward the floating golden lake afterward.

So this thing truly carried terrifying danger.

Still...

Tony quickly realized something important afterward.

The Dragon Lord Transformation wasn’t fully complete.

It resembled an awakened bloodline seed rather than perfected power.

The spirit seemed to notice his thoughts immediately.

"...current stage only initial awakening..."

"...future evolution depends on you..."

Tony slowly raised his brows afterward.

"So this thing can continue growing?"

"...yes..."

The spirit quietly looked toward the giant World Tree sky afterward.

"...primordial life evolution paths possess no fixed limits..."

Tony’s eyes instantly sharpened slightly.

No limits.

That sentence alone carried terrifying meaning.

Suddenly—

DING!!!

[Special Physique Mutation Detected]

[Dragon Lord Transformation Successfully Awakened]

[Body Evolution Path Updated]

[Life Energy Purity Increased]

[Spinal Tree Core Mutated Successfully]

[Future Evolution Potential Expanded]

Tony silently observed the notifications afterward.

Then suddenly asked calmly:

"What exactly is Dragon Lord Transformation?"

The spirit remained quiet briefly.

Then softly answered:

"...ancient primordial evolution branch..."

"...extremely rare..."

"...extremely dangerous..."

"...those who fully awaken it..."

She slowly looked toward Tony afterward.

"...often stop remaining human."

Silence spread afterward.

Tony himself didn’t panic hearing that.

Instead...

He became more interested.

Because deep inside...

He could already feel it.

His body no longer resembled ordinary martial warriors completely anymore.

Particularly his life aura.

It had become heavier.

Ancient.

Tyrannical.

Even standing still now naturally emitted faint pressure.

Tony suddenly smirked afterward.

"So I became some half-monster?"

Unexpectedly...

The spirit gave a faint smile.

"...primordial beings are above monsters..."

Interesting answer.

Meanwhile...

The World Tree realm itself suddenly trembled faintly afterward.

BOOOOOOOOM!!!

Golden light spread across the distant sky instantly.

The spirit’s expression immediately changed slightly afterward.

"...time running short..."

Tony immediately became alert afterward.

"What happened?"

The spirit quietly looked upward.

"...World Tree bloom approaching gradually..."

"...realm becoming more unstable..."

Tony immediately noticed it afterward too.

Several distant floating islands had already begun shifting positions unnaturally.

Spatial cracks appeared more frequently now.

Even the life rivers flowed more violently than before.

The entire unfinished world seemed slowly waking up.

The spirit immediately floated forward afterward.

"...follow quickly..."

Without wasting time, Tony immediately followed.

Soon afterward...

The spirit led him toward a giant root tunnel hidden beneath several floating islands.

The deeper they entered...

The stranger the environment became.

Ancient murals slowly appeared across the inner root walls.

Some depicted giant trees devouring stars.

Some showed endless wars between ancient races.

Others displayed dragon-like beings kneeling before a colossal golden tree.

Tony silently observed everything carefully afterward.

"This place..." he muttered softly.

"...what exactly existed here before?"

The spirit quietly answered afterward.

"...World Trees are not natural plants..."

Tony’s eyes instantly narrowed.

The spirit continued softly:

"...they are civilization pillars..."

"...gateways..."

"...anchors between worlds..."

Tony’s expression slowly became more serious afterward.

The scale behind this thing kept becoming larger and larger.

Meanwhile...

As they continued deeper through hidden root tunnels, the spirit began showing Tony several extremely important hidden paths.

Some tunnels led directly beneath future seed regions.

Some bypassed dangerous unstable zones entirely.

One hidden root path even connected near the central bloom region itself.

Tony carefully memorized everything afterward.

These routes would become priceless advantages once the Golden Heir Tournament entered the World Tree Blessing later.

Suddenly—

The spirit abruptly stopped afterward.

Tony immediately noticed something strange ahead.

Footprints.

Very faint.

But definitely present.

Tony’s eyes instantly sharpened afterward.

"Someone entered here before?"

The spirit quietly observed the footprints afterward.

Then her expression slowly became colder.

"...not recent..."

"...but yes..."

Tony immediately frowned afterward.

"How is that possible?"

The spirit remained silent briefly.

Then softly answered:

"...there are always hidden people..."

Not a full explanation.

But enough to create pressure.

Tony slowly looked toward the ancient footprints afterward.

For some reason...

A dangerous feeling quietly rose inside him.

Meanwhile...

Far away outside the World Tree barrier...

The Pacific Ocean skies had already become heavily fortified.

Warships hovered everywhere.

Supreme formations covered the skies.

Octopus Organization patrols continuously monitored the region.

Nobody realized...

A young man had already entered the World Tree before the tournament itself even began.
