"Treant, how could I have forgotten about it?"

As he walked away from the isolated courtyard where Shui You Ruo trained at night, Ye Zichen revealed a cold smile and muttered to himself.

Although he was not interested in the heart of the tree, the heart that was nurtured by the tree demon for tens of thousands of years was extremely important to the spirit fish.

"Otherwise, once it runs away, it will be hard to find it again." Shui You Ruo said slowly, as she walked, she discussed her plan of capturing the tree demon with the rest of the group.

Soon enough, they arrived at a narrow valley where the Tree Demons resided. When the experts of the three major sects were waiting in ambush at the two valleys' entrance, the four of them rushed into the valley.

"The plan is not bad, but with the strength of the four of you, you are probably no match for that tree demon."

Ye Chenfeng, who had been following him the entire way, hid himself in the crown of a lush tree that was dozens of meters tall. He released a strong soul that covered the entire valley and locked onto the treeman, who was scared away by the Primal Chaos Wood.

From the treeman's aura, Ye Zichen discovered that its strength was beyond that of a sixth level Inverted Beast King, and was close to the level of a half-step Battle-Beast King. It was not something that Shui Youruo and the other four fifth level Inverted Beast Kings could deal with.

"What a terrifying demonic Qi. That tree demon is right in front. Everyone, be careful when fighting."

The four of them carefully advanced for the time it took to burn an incense stick of time, arriving at the depths of the valley.

The intensity of the demonic qi caused the air to fluctuate, causing the four of them to feel suffocated.

"Master Shui, is the tree demon really only a sixth level Inverse Beast King?"

Shangguan Hong, who was feeling the intense pressure, revealed a serious expression as she transmitted her voice to Shui Youru, who was at the side, and asked.

"During these ten years, Master and I have fought with Treant several times, and we can confirm that it is a Rank 6 Inverted Beast King." Shui Youluo confirmed with a mental message.

However, what she did not know was that the tree demon that had devoured the blood of warriors had just undergone a transformation, and its strength had long since surpassed the rank 6 beast king level.

"But the demonic energy of a rank 6 beast king is that terrifying?"

Chi Tianshui also sensed the suspicion and furrowed his brows. A trace of unease appeared in his heart.

"Lowly humans, I didn't think you would still dare to come throw your lives away."

Just as the four of them slowly approached the Treant, a cruel and ruthless voice suddenly sounded out from the depths of the valley. A powerful demonic aura surged forth like a landslide, enveloping the entire sky and turning the azure sky black.

"No, that's not right. The Treant's strength definitely surpasses that of a rank 6 beast king."

Looking at the demonic aura that filled the sky and sensing the terrifying aura exuded by the tree demon, the expressions of Shui You Ruo's group of four changed drastically, their eyes filled with panic.

Just when the four of them made the decision to retreat from the valley, the tree demon that was emitting a towering demonic qi rushed out like a black hurricane and intercepted them.

"Haha, four fifth level Inverted Beast King experts, after swallowing your blood essence, my strength will definitely increase by another level."

Sensing the strength of Shui Yiruo's group of four, an old face emerged from the tree trunk and let out a savage laugh.

The thousands of roots, which were as firm as spears, broke through the hard ground and formed a giant prison made of tree roots, enveloping the four of them within.

"Not good, I'm afraid that the Treant King's strength has reached the half-step War Beast Emperor, and he is not someone we can contend against. Everyone, do not keep fighting, and break out of the encirclement with all your might."

The most powerful of the four, Water-Red Marks, felt the strength of the Tree Demon after transforming and became greatly shocked. He quickly took out the Profound Nether Stone, the treasure of the Profound Nether Sect, and sprayed two mouthfuls of vital blood into the Profound Nether Stone.

Shui Youru, Shangguan Hong, and Chi Tianshui all took out their most powerful weapons without hesitation. They unleashed their Dao Insight and unleashed their most powerful killing moves to attack the roots of the trees.

"Lowly humans, don't make any unnecessary struggles. Just with your strength alone, you won't be able to break through my root prison."

The tree demon let out a vicious cry. A large amount of tough tree roots retaliated like snakes, entangling Shui You Ruo, Shui Hong Hen, and the others.

"Heaven Silkworm Transformation!"

After a long time without success, Chi Tianshui decisively unleashed his secret art. His strong body instantly expanded in size, and his cultivation base also reached the level of a rank 6 beast king in a short period of time.

"Swimming Dragon Tyrant Blade!"

Chi Tianshui roared as his surging soul power and Dao Insight fused into his medium-grade Heaven Tier Battle Blade. Streaks of saber light carried an astonishing destructive power as they cut through a large number of tree roots and ruthlessly cut into the prison of tree roots.

The incomparably strong blade power forcibly tore apart the layers of tree roots and made a gap in the prison.

"Profound Nether Stone, attack."

Chi Tianshui had cut open a hole in the prison of roots, and the red marks continued to spray blood into the Profound Nether Stone. The Profound Nether Stone continued to grow bigger, and like a meteorite, it rammed into several holes that were quickly repairing itself, tearing it apart once again.

"Let's go!"

The root prison had been torn apart by the Profound Nether Stone. The four of them did not waste this excellent opportunity and rushed out at full speed, attempting to break out of the encirclement.

At this moment, Treant suddenly appeared outside the gap. The old face that had appeared on the tree trunk let out a roars that could pierce through clouds and rocks as it charged at Shui Youru and the others like a tidal wave.

"Puff puff puff!"

The four of them trembled as they were struck by the tree demon's hissing attack. Large amounts of blood gushed out of their mouths as they were sent flying back into the prison.

"Refine the demonic energy."

In the next moment, the tree demon released a terrifying black demonic aura and rushed into the prison of tree roots. It rotated at high speeds and forcefully refined the four of them, wanting to refine them alive to death.

"Burning Qi!"

"Soul beast bloodline, combust!"

With their lives on the line, Shui Yiruo's group of four unleashed their final trump cards as they endured the black demonic Qi's refinement, crazily attacking the roots of their trees.

Just as the four of them were in danger and unable to free themselves, Ye Zichen appeared in the valley like a ghost.
