Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 6: Unranked Planet

Li Mo opened his eyes to see a strange tree before him. It was both round and flat, with both long and wide leaves. This was a tree that simply did not exist on earth.

Looking up, the sky was full of stars as before, just different. The current starry sky showed an unfamiliar view.

This place was an unranked inhabitable planet in the vast universe.

If only this place is free of danger.

Li Mo secretly prayed. The universe was fraught with dangers. Just because this was an unranked planet, that didnt make it safe. After all, the unexpected lurked at every corner. 

Taking a moment and thinking about it, humanity researched nuclear weapons yet Earth was still ranked a 1st tier planet.

Li Mo wandered about for a while. After making sure there were no creatures around, he sat beneath a weird tree and circulated the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art.

Thump! Thump! Bam! Bam!

As the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art was circulated, the trees vitality was sapped. 

The tree dried and collapsed. And the concentrated green energy around Li Mos body became increasingly thicker.

Li Mo changed places each hour, absorbing the spiritual energy of trees without stop. On Earth, he was worried for Earths environment from absorbing as he wished. But here, he had no misgivings, and his cultivation speed was shockingly fast.

After nine hours, Li Mos body was fully enveloped in green energy. This phenomenon occurred because the bodys speed of absorbing the refined spiritual energy was slower than the speed of gathering spiritual energy. 

Li Mo smiled slightly as he thought of his past life. He needed but a breath to absorb all the spiritual energy of a planet. Yet now, he could barely cope with the spiritual energy of a few measly trees.

But the most overbearing part of the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art allowed him to gather spiritual energy  around his body for a very long time. As such, he neednt worry about feeling that gathering spiritual energy was a waste. With enough time, hed refine it all. 

Sigh, the spiritual energy is far more thicker.

Li Mo stood up, thinking of changing to another area, when unexpectedly found that the large round tree in front of him still had vitality.

The trees leaves wilted, the branches dried, but the trunk was still green, throbbing with vitality.

Li Mo sat back down. All the worlds living things, without any exceptions, had spiritual energy. But spiritual energy could be good or bad, more or less. In brief, the stronger the species the more spiritual energy it has.

With every breath, the round trees green color faded some more. But in the next instant, the green color grew more vibrant in a flash.

Eh?

Seeing the change in the round tree, Li Mo was a bit amazed.

Incredible. If this continues, I will not need to change places and save a lot of time to use on gathering spiritual energy.

Just as Li Mo secretly rejoiced and prepared to circulate the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art, he heard a faint sound. Listening with great care, he found it coming from the round tree.

Li Mo walked toward the round tree and found the sound growing stronger.

Whoosh!

Just as Li Mo approached the round tree, from it a green half-meter big humanoid, with round arms and legs, came out of the trunk. It looked similar to a human, but it absolutely wasnt one. 

That creatures running speed wasnt fast. It twisted and turned, and with a whoosh it burrowed into another nearby tree.

One could see with the naked eye, that that tree now had a thicker green energy surrounding it.

So it was a tree spirit.

Li Mo suddenly realized.

Tree spirits were born from trees older than ten thousand years. It was said that this creature had the perfect wood attribute body, favored by nature. Their strongest point was that even if one was thrown on a desolate and barren planet, the tree spirit could transform it into a habitable planet.

Tree spirits were as highly uncommon as they were precious. In his past life, Li Mo fought left and right for six centuries, yet he only saw one tree spirit.

No wonder the spiritual energy here is so thick.

Among the types of spiritual energies out there, tree spirits wood attribute spiritual energy was first-rate. If he could absorb the tree spirits spiritual energy completely, entering Foundation Establishment was but a cinch. It might even take him one step further, in the early Body Tempering Stage. 

Whoosh!

Just as Li Mo was pondering, the tree spirit came out of the dried tree and kneeled on the ground, kowtowing to him.

This tree spirit even had awareness, no less intelligent than a human. When Li Mo used the Fortune of Heaven and Earth Art, he hurt it. It was afraid of Li Mos strength, and the fact it hid in the tree while trembling was proof of that.

Are you begging for your life? Li Mo smiled.

Li Mo walked next to the tree spirit as it shivered from fear and kowtowed again and again.

Li Mo reached out his hand and placed it on the tree spirits head.
