This scoundrel is a bit of a swordsman.

Chapter 244 Little Star Beats Up Bad Guys

The spirit of the divine tree stepped into the Star Palace, and everything before him was like a magnificent and colorful painting, driving him to a frenzy of ecstasy.

"It's celestial energy, this is..."

"I knew it! This kid's memories held some unknown secrets. So that's how it is!"

"We've struck it rich! This is incredible wealth!"

Huangfu Lingxue took off to catch up, and as soon as she flew up, she saw the tree spirit circling around the stone tablet with the words "Star" on it like a greedy wolf. It touched it up and down as if it were a rare treasure, and its eyes revealed an insatiable desire.

She did not act rashly, because she knew that the gap in strength between herself and the Bronze Tree was like an insurmountable chasm. If she wanted to awaken Xiao Xingchen, she had to find another way.

But deep within this memory, only this starry sky stands, and considering the tree spirit's current behavior, she secretly speculated that perhaps the only way to awaken Xiao Xingchen was to rely on this star palace.

Here, the Star Palace shines like a dazzling pearl, radiating a unique light, and this Star Palace is the true hidden treasure.

However, what to do next became a major headache for her. After the ghost-crossing ritual, all the procedures came to an abrupt end as she entered the depths of her memories, like a kite with a broken string.

The situation was now completely out of her control, and she could only proceed cautiously, taking it one step at a time.

Little Xiao Xingchen was still playing carefree in the open space, his innocent and lively appearance seemingly unaware that danger was approaching step by step.

The tree spirit naturally noticed the little child's presence as well. His gaze, like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, was fixed on Xiao Xingchen, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"By swallowing this doll, I will regain my supreme glory!"

In that instant, the Bronze Tree Spirit pounced on its prey like a hungry wolf, making no attempt to conceal its greedy intent.

However, just as he crossed the star gate and stepped into the star palace, a deafening clap of thunder suddenly resounded from the sky.

With a deafening roar, like ten thousand horses galloping, the blue ocean, shaken by the thunder, seemed like a startled dragon, beginning to churn and churn wildly.

One moment the sea was calm, the next it surged into a monstrous wave, like an enraged beast, splashing up spray everywhere.

At the same time, the sky quickly darkened, as if shrouded in an endless darkness that was gradually swallowing everything in the Star Palace.

In the darkness, the sound of footsteps echoed, growing louder as they approached, like the footsteps of death, sending chills down one's spine.

The spirit of the bronze tree suddenly stopped, looking out of the Star Palace with a puzzled expression, thinking to itself: It is truly unbelievable that Xiao Xingchen's memories are so strange.

However, this did not stop him in the slightest. Once he devoured the doll in front of him, this memory would be his.

"Run!" Huangfu Lingxue shouted at Xiao Xingchen with all her might, and she rushed into the Star Palace without hesitation.

However, just as she was about to approach the tree spirit, a sharp cry suddenly rang out from the branches of the bronze divine tree that had been standing on the sea, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, echoing through the sky.

Immediately afterward, a fiery bird streaked past like lightning, encircling Huangfu Lingxue with blazing flames. In the blink of an eye, a golden crow, its body radiating intense heat, stood before the Star Palace like a war god.

Its sharp claws were gripping Huangfu Lingxue's figure, as if proclaiming its power and majesty to the world.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, Huangfu Lingxue felt as if she were in purgatory, her whole body being relentlessly burned by the raging fire.

Her heart was filled with utter shock. What kind of divine object was this bronze tree? Why did such a terrifying golden crow perch on its branches?

The Bronze Divine Tree has five more branches like this. It's hard to imagine what kind of monstrous waves would be unleashed if the other four were to erupt together. The tree spirit seems to ignore all of this. In its eyes, Huangfu Lingxue is as insignificant as an ant. It seems to have already seen through that someone is trying to use a secret method to save this boy. However, since he has walked into the trap, how can they easily drive him away?

The little boy, Xiao Xingchen, stared with his big, round eyes, curiously examining the old man in front of him, especially the golden crow soaring through the air in flames.

"Want...want..." A pair of small hands reached out to the golden crow as if they had seen a new and exciting toy, but the tree spirit shook its head disdainfully.

"You don't want that golden crow, do you? It's a pity you're too naive. Once it gets close, it will burn you to ashes."

"Yes, yes..." As the little child reached out again, the Golden Crow suddenly let out a shrill cry, as if an invisible pair of giant hands had tightly grasped it. Then, under the influence of some mysterious force, its body rapidly shrank, and in an instant, a small and exquisite turkey appeared in front of the little child.

"Little...turkey..."

The doll-like Xiao Xingchen was overjoyed and pounced on the turkey like a hungry tiger, hugging it tightly in his arms, stroking its head incessantly, sometimes pinning it down, sometimes riding on its head, having a wonderful time.

"This..." The tree spirit rubbed its eyes hard as it came to its senses. Its golden crow had actually been used as a child's toy. This sudden change left it stunned and standing there in disbelief. Then, a chilling coldness surged from behind it, as if an unparalleled terror was quietly descending.

That is the golden crow that perches on its own branch, like a legendary divine bird, rarely seen in the world, only passed down from the distant ancient times.

Such a terrifying golden crow was utterly powerless in the hands of a little child, like a puppet being manipulated and kneaded at will.

The golden crow resisted and struggled incessantly, but its struggles seemed to arouse the doll's interest. Without hesitation, the doll tore off the golden crow's wings.

The golden crow's painful cry, like a sharp sword, pierced the sky and abruptly pulled him back to reality.

"Stop right now!" The tree spirit was furious and struck the doll with a palm like a tidal wave, trying to take back the golden crow.

But when the giant hand fell, it seemed to strike nothing but empty air, slicing right across the doll's body with a loud "thud" before crashing heavily to the ground.

The doll seemed to sense something, turned its head to look back, and after seeing nothing new, began plucking the golden crow's feathers again.

"How is that possible? Completely unaffected by any law?"

The tree spirit was incredulous and charged forward like a maddened beast.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he could only brush past the doll, as if he were fighting against thin air. All his attacks were like throwing mud into the sea, completely ineffective.

The commotion here naturally did not escape Huangfu Lingxue's eyes. Just now, she was tightly gripped by the golden crow's claws, and she felt it most acutely.

With a casual grab, she truly felt the enormous golden crow being easily grasped in her hand, like a tiny ant.

The force exerted by those hands even compressed the entire Golden Crow into something as insignificant as an ant.

That's why the Golden Crow's claws were torn away, allowing her to land safely. Then, as if under a spell, the Golden Crow kept shrinking until it became a small turkey. This is an infant version of Xiao Xingchen; who exactly is he?

Why did he possess such astonishing power at such a young age? This was the depths of his memories, Xiao Xingchen's sealed memories. This was not an illusion, but a reappearance of his childhood power. At this moment, Huangfu Lingxue could no longer remain calm; Xiao Xingchen's origins far exceeded her imagination.

"what……"

After plucking the turkey's feathers clean, the doll version of Xiao Xingchen seemed to have discovered something new and interesting.

This time, under the tree spirit's terrified gaze, the little baby, like a nimble little snake, began to crawl outwards.

Then, the colossal bronze tree standing between the sky and the sea, like a towering giant, majestic and awe-inspiring, radiated a bronze light, like a dazzling sun, dispelling the darkness without a trace. When darkness enveloped everything, it shone like a brilliant bronze pearl, instantly making the little child dance with excitement.

"Yes...yes...yes!" When that familiar voice rang out again, the tree spirit dared not be negligent in the slightest. He now knew that this little child was no ordinary person.

He racked his brains but still couldn't understand why a little baby would be so different from others.

He rushed out of the Star Palace like lightning and disappeared into the Divine Tree like a bolt of lightning.

As he entered, the divine tree seemed to be given life, and a face appeared on its trunk—the face of the tree spirit.

"Let me see what secrets are hidden here!"

Amidst the roars of the tree spirit, the bronze tree continued to grow like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Its branches spread out like a vast net, instantly covering the once boundless ocean with the enormous shadow cast by its trunk. The trunk even began to resemble a giant dragon, plunging into the descending darkness and reaching into the endless abyss.

"Fun, fun!" The child sat on the ground, clapping his hands and giggling like a happy little bird. In his eyes, everything about the Bronze Tree seemed to be playing and frolicking with him.

Just then, Huangfu Lingxue also sensed something unusual. This little star, which looked like a baby, might be her beacon of hope.

Like a light butterfly, she floated directly to the little child's side and softly asked, "Do you like that tree?"

"I like...I like...big sister to hug me."

Looking at the cute and interesting Xiao Xingchen, Huangfu Lingxue couldn't help but smile mischievously, like a playful little fox.

She gently picked him up with both hands and playfully teased his nose, a move that made Xiao Xingchen very unhappy.

"See that tree? That's a big bad guy. Can you chase him out?"

Huangfu Lingxue's words danced in the air like lively musical notes. Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingchen immediately raised his small fist, like a spirited little lion, and began to swing it vigorously.

"Yes, hit...hit it..."

Huangfu Lingxue's words were abruptly cut short. The instant Xiao Xingchen swung his fist, a series of muffled sounds emanated from the massive bronze divine tree, as if it were being struck by a heavy hammer.

"Bang, bang, bang," the sound was like thunder, deafening. An invisible fist pounded on the bronze tree like a storm, almost overturning it into the turbulent ocean.

The tree spirit was instantly enraged, but fear surged over it like a tidal wave.

"You actually managed to hit that tree?"

Ling Xue finally realized that in this mysterious memory space, Little Star was like a god who ruled over everything. As long as he had a thought, he could do anything.

"My sister said... a big bad guy." Little Star pouted, seemingly having a great time, like an innocent little elf.

When he saw that the bronze tree was still growing tenaciously, he suddenly flew out of Ling Xue's embrace like a shining meteor.
