A piercing green glow transformed into a spear-like construct and rumbled right towards Yang Kai’s chest.

Standing in his original location, Yang Kai stared coldly at the Human Sovereign as a jade green glow abruptly surfaced on the outside of his body, transforming into a powerful barrier.

As the green spear smashed against the barrier, both of them dissipated away.

“How’s that possible!?” The Human Sovereign gasped in shock. He naturally knew that Yang Kai could display the Sacred Techniques and borrow the strength of the Sacred Tree; after all, the latter was also a Shaman, and being a Shaman, was naturally able to commune with the Sacred Tree.

However, without even a baptism, why would the Sacred Tree automatically protect him? The reason why the Imperial Princes and Princesses could obtain the Sacred Tree’s protection and remain safe even in times of danger was due to them undergoing an exceedingly complicated baptism ritual.

At this instant, the feeling the Sacred Tree gave off was exceedingly strange. On one hand, it did not reject the commands from the Human Sovereign, while on the other it was obstructing his killing move, appearing just like a naughty child that was following its whims, doing whatever it wished.

“It seems you want to kill me,” Yang Kai sneered, obviously having expected this to happen.

The Human Sovereign did not reply, though his expression grew a few shades more solemn. Chanting an incantation, the Human Sovereign raised his hand and sent a bolt of lightning at Yang Kai. This bolt of lightning was filled with astonishing might, moving about like an angry flood dragon as it appeared right before Yang Kai in the blink of an eye. Blossoming with dazzling brilliance, it completely engulfed Yang Kai.

The Human Sovereign’s face changed once again.

As the light dimmed down, he saw Yang Kai standing right where he originally was without the slightest injury. In fact, there wasn’t even any trace of damage to his clothing.

“Why!?” The Human Sovereign roared out in anger, but rather than Yang Kai, he had turned to face the Sacred Tree, appearing just like a stern father scolding a naughty child and letting his anger blow his head off.

Twice! The Sacred Tree had spoiled his plans twice, something that was hard for him to endure.

Yang Kai spoke out with a cold and indifferent voice, “Do you want to know why?”

The Human Sovereign growled back, “What the hell did you do!”

Yang Kai snorted, “Aren’t you clear whether I’ve done anything or not? There’s no need to deceive yourself!”

You, Sir, aren’t young anymore. From the looks of it, you won’t live much longer no matter what you do, so why not step down now? From what I can see, several of the Imperial Princes are quite good, especially that Third Imperial Prince.
