World Tree God

A thought struck Yu Xian. Things had already reached this point; he might as well check the treants' stats first. He looked toward a treant not far away, and its attribute panel appeared before his eyes a second later. [Seed Cannon - Great Tree King Spawn] [Level: 100] [Skills:] [Endless Growth: Upon impact, the Seed Cannon will immediately take root and sprout, absorbing all surrounding vitality to assume the Great Tree King Spawn form.] [Great Tree King Spawn - Leaf Blade Slash: The Great Tree King Spawn can manipulate its leaves to fire at a target, dealing damage while simultaneously healing the target's wounds.] [Deep-Rooted: The Great Tree King Spawn takes root in the earth, increasing its recovery rate by 200% and defense by 200%, granting immunity to knockback and airborne effects, and forming a life barrier that exerts immense restraint against the power of death.] [Description: A minion created by the World Tree God, possessing formidable vitality.] ... Yu Xian had just finished reading and had not even had time to process the information when all the surrounding treants locked onto him. In unison, they whipped their branches, unleashing a dense barrage of leaves in focused fire. *Damn it!* At the sight, Yu Xian immediately sealed himself back into the Book of Sealing. The storm of razor-sharp leaves pelted the Book of Sealing, but the tome proved remarkably resilient. Struck by countless leaves, it showed no sign of damage; it was merely deflected off course, plummeting rapidly toward the ground. Just before the Book of Sealing hit the earth, Yu Xian emerged once more. He landed, dropped into a crouch, and pressed a hand against the soil. Chaos Fusion Transmutation Art! He could currently register ten substances and transmute any matter into any of those ten. That very morning, he had already registered the ten substances he needed. Instantly, the ground beneath him liquefied into a pool of water. Yu Xian dived in with the Book of Sealing, swimming downward and transmuting the earth as he went. Yet the roots of the Great Tree King Spawns were far from idle. Plunging into the water one after another, they thrust downward in hot pursuit of Yu Xian's escape route. ... A hundred thousand kilometers away. A colossus composed entirely of diverse trees towered over the barren earth, appearing as though it alone propped up the sky. Countless dragon-headed giant birds roosted upon its boughs and wheeled through the air around its massive frame. "Tree God, did you succeed?" a crow perched on a branch near the titanic treant's ear croaked, breaking the silence. The World Tree God replied, "No. Yet failure only further proves that Wufentang and Jasmine Bladeflower were correct in their judgment. If this class user is not eliminated, he will become an existential threat to our Class Hunter Society, a catastrophe for all Original Inhabitants." "Then... should we send more forces?" the crow asked hesitantly. The World Tree God gave a slight shake of its head, causing the branch to sway violently and nearly knocking the crow from its perch. After struggling to regain its footing, the crow heard the World Tree God speak again: "Ordinary members would only be throwing their lives away in vain, no matter how many we send. "Caesar can be sacrificed. Babylon can be sacrificed. Wufentang can be sacrificed. Bafentang can be sacrificed. Jasmine Bladeflower can be sacrificed. And I, the World Tree God, can likewise sacrifice myself for the Class Hunter Society—for all the Original Inhabitants across the world." "Tree God, don't tell me you intend to..." the crow gasped in shock. The World Tree God stated resolutely, "Indeed. I shall take the field myself to eradicate this youth once and for all!" With that, it took a stride forward, each step shaking the earth and rattling the mountains. As it crossed a mountain range, its brow furrowed faintly, sensing its power being eroded. It had entered a low-level zone. Every act of slaughter here would weaken its strength. "Heh. A trifling rule—whom could it possibly intimidate? I came here prepared to sacrifice myself!" The treant chuckled coldly, and the next moment, brilliant green light erupted from its entire body. Ring of the World! The World Tree God, a dual-attribute Life and Space boss monster. In an instant, it used the Ring of the World to seal off the entire low-level zone. Any living creature could enter, but none could leave. It would trap the prey in a jar and slaughter Yu Xian right here. In truth, the World Tree God had initially only been passing by. Having just concluded a mission, it was returning to the Class Hunter Society headquarters when it crossed paths with an intelligence operative and learned of the information Jasmine Bladeflower had risked her life to deliver. Naturally, it had not placed blind faith in Jasmine Bladeflower's report. After all, she was merely a low-level member and might well have misjudged the situation. Yet just moments ago, standing at the boundary of the mid-level zone, it had launched millions of seeds into the low-level zone, learning of Yu Xian's methods and abilities through the feedback from those seeds. By now, it had come to believe the report that Jasmine Bladeflower and the others had traded their lives to bring back. Yu Xian was an immense threat and had to be eliminated. ... *Too fast.* Catching sight of the roots crisscrossing and thrusting toward him from behind out of the corner of his eye, Yu Xian sighed inward. He was already moving at his absolute limit, but the stats of these Great Tree King Spawns were simply too high. If his stats were a 10, then the stats of these Great Tree King Spawns were easily a 100. With such a vast disparity, running away was out of the question. Helpless as the roots were on the verge of skewering him, he could only seal himself back inside the Book of Sealing. The next instant, Xielina materialized out of thin air, drawing her sword with blistering speed. Hymn of the Eternal End! In a flash, time and space froze. Clutching the State-Guarding Ward Sword, Xielina intoned in a chilling voice, "O foolish creation, where the primal flash and the wind of terminal ruin converge, listen well—this is the end of all things." Wherever her sword light pointed, everything above was reduced to ash and dust within the brilliance. A colossal pillar of light erupted from beneath the earth, shooting straight into the heavens. A single strike. At long last, a Great Tree King Spawn was slain. Time resumed its flow. Bearing the Book of Sealing, Xielina immediately swam deeper down, but she soon encountered a green barrier. Hymn of the Eternal End! Without a second thought, Xielina unleashed her ultimate move once more. After chanting the mandatory incantation, boundless light bombarded the green barrier. Yet this time, the normally invincible Hymn of the Eternal End met its match. The green barrier remained entirely unscathed; Xielina's attack had no effect on it whatsoever. On the other side. As the beam of light unleashed by Xielina pierced the heavens, the World Tree God—who should have been frozen in time—turned its gaze toward the light. A grave expression surfaced on its deeply wrinkled face, and it murmured to itself, "An immense threat indeed, capable of wielding so much power." With that, it abruptly surged forward, sprinting at full speed toward the location where the light had faded. Each step unleashed a titanic shockwave, fracturing the earth beneath it. The gale-force winds generated by its passage sent the surrounding Great Tree King Spawns flying through the air. In merely a few minutes, it arrived at the spot where the beam had vanished and peered into the small pit in the ground. *Trying to flee?* Dense clusters of roots immediately sprouted from the World Tree God's feet, plunging into the ground in an instant and sprawling deep into the subterranean depths. As they spread, the roots wove together to form an airtight cage. To the World Tree God, this cage was modest in size, but in reality, it spanned hundreds of meters wide and thousands of meters long, trapping Yu Xian directly within its confines. The moment the green barrier was layered over by dense roots, Yu Xian realized things had taken a turn for the worse and promptly ordered Xielina to attack upward.
