*Rooooooaar…* Increasingly fearsome and ferocious roars filled the sky, as grotesque and sinistrous figures poured out from the two massive portals that covered the entire sky, one after another.

 

The figures, enormous and grotesque, stood over 100 meters tall, their numerous branches intertwined to form limbs as thick as tens of meters. Their twisted roots assumed the shape of legs, as they stepped out of the luminous screen.

 

*Booooooom…* With each step, the entire ground trembled violently, as if a mountain had crashed down, triggering a terrifying and unending earthquake. Even ripples appeared in the air, spreading outward across tens of thousands of meters.

 

“What is that?” In a nearby city, someone pointed in the direction of the disturbance, crying out in alarm.

 

Following the direction, countless Angels gazed in astonishment as figures emerged one after another from the glowing screen in the distance.

 

*Rooooaar…* With a thunderous roar that sent visible ripples cascading outward, a monstrous figure, over 100 meters tall, spread its arms wide and bellowed toward the direction of the city.

 

And then…

 

*Booooom, booooom, booooom…* The earth trembled as the monster charged forward. Its terrifying momentum caused the city itself to quake in fear.

 

At the same time, it raised its arm and swung violently toward the city.

 

*Whoosh…* With a series of shrill sound, its claw, to the horror of countless Angels, split into thousands, extending into countless Snake-like branches that shot toward the city.

 

*Booooom, booooom, booooom…* Accompanied by deafening rumbles, tens of thousands of branches, stretching for kilometers, forming a Heaven-encompassing web that enveloped most of the city, crashed down.

 

“Ahhh…”

 

“No…”

 

“Damn it, what kind of monster is this!?”

 

Screams of anguish echoed across the city as mist of blood mist filled the air, dyeing the countless branches a vivid crimson.

 

This attack instantly lay a corner of the city in complete ruin.

 

Looking closely, one could see the massive branches slithering through the city like giant serpents, slaughtering the fleeing Angels.

 

Though the Angels were swift, the wildly flailing branches were their few natural enemies.

 

*Whoosh…* With a sharp tearing sound, one branch ensnared a Tier-3 Angel.

 

“Break free!” With a roar, the Angel, wielding a sword of light, slashed furiously at the branch.

 

However, in mere moments…

 

*Crack…* The resulting collision only erupted with a burst of sparks and some grating noise. The seemingly fragile branch actually withstood the Angel’s strike.

 

The Angel’s strike only managed to leave a white mark on its surface, silently mocking the Angel’s desperate efforts.

 

And before the Angel could react to his fruitless endeavor…

 

*Crack, crack…* Sounds of bones breaking echoed, and the Angel was crushed by the Treant’s overwhelming strength, turning into a mist of blood that slowly dissipated into the air.

 

However, if one looked closer, they could see the blood being absorbed by the countless branches.

 

*Roooooaar… Roooooaar…* Amid increasingly frenzied roars, the Treant’s aura visibly grew stronger.

 

The Treants, by nature, were living trees.

 

Spirit Trees, in particular, had the innate ability to absorb flesh and blood as nourishment.

 

This characteristic was brought to its fullest expression in the Treant.

 

Thorns Queen had once remarked, ‘The Treants are a race of Demons. They survive by plundering the flesh and blood of all other races…’

 

…

 

At this moment, it was not just one Tier-4 Treant making a sudden move.

 

Far off in the distant skies, from within the luminous screen, one Treant after another emerged, roaring as they charged forward.

 

Their momentum was overwhelming, their strength immense, and their defenses were terrifyingly formidable.

 

Each one of them resembled war machines, launching assaults in all directions.

 

However, these were not the truly frightening ones.

 

The truly fearsome entities were the nine towering, over 3,000 meters shadows that had unknowingly taken positions in nine different directions.

 

Each one was like a divine pillar, suppressing Heaven and Earth itself.

 

The once-bright sky dimmed in their presence. The faces, etched into their massive trunks, were cold and horrifying.

 

These were Late-Stage Tier-5 Treant, they were the Second Generation Jianmus.

 

They were the most terrifying of Treants, possessing the ability known as the ‘Domain of Suppression,’ which could suppress all Spiritual Energy techniques.

 

In other words, the only way to fight them was through close combat.

 

And to engage in hand-to-hand combat with a Second Generation Jianmu, that were capable of supporting entire worlds? Well, other than the Ancient Dragons of the Dragon Clan, known for their unmatched physical strength, and the monsters of the Titan Clan gifted with incomparably powerful Physiques, most other experts would likely be left in utter despair.

 

And now…

 

*Booooom, booooom…* As their massive feet landed on the ground, each step sent terrifying tremors through the mountains.

 

The nine Second Generation Jianmu Treant marched forward in different directions. They resembled no different than fearsome Gods or Demons taking a walk in the mortal world.

 

Wherever they passed, mountains quaked, and cities cried out in sorrow.

 

Occasionally, a single punch would obliterate mountains thousands of kilometers high.

 

Angels who failed to escape in time were reduced to blood mist in an instant.

 

…

 

“Sir, unknown beings have suddenly appeared in the northern region of Lumina Sanctis… They are all gigantic, possess boundless strength, and have unparalleled defenses. They appear to have evolved from trees… and now, they are sweeping through the entire northern region with an unstoppable force. So far, three cities have been razed to the ground, with over a million casualties…”

 

One report after another echoed through the City of Angels, the heart of the Angel Clan. Each report weighed heavily on the minds of those present.

 

Creatures of an unknown race had appeared in the northern region, slaughtering indiscriminately.

 

“Why now of all times!?” Suppressing his fury, Michael’s face turned as cold as ice.

 

Currently, the majority of the Angel Clan’s forces were rushing to counter the Void Clan’s invasion.

 

And now, in another direction, an unknown race had launched an invasion.

 

If this was not a coordinated attack, no one would believe it.

 

However, what could they do now?

 

Compared to the Void Clan invasion, where countless Angels still held the line, the northern region was practically defenseless!

 

If this unknown race were allowed to continue their rampage, the entire foundation of the Angel Clan, the Lower Angels, would be wiped out!

 

“Damn it!” cursing aloud, Michael ordered in a cold voice, “Dispatch the Divine Angel Legion and the Holy Sword Angel Legion! Ensure that they are eliminated before they destroy more cities!”

 

“Yes, Sir!” Wth a swift response, the Angel who had delivered the message flew away, leaving a streak of light in his wake.
