This is a power Song Yan has seen before and can distinguish.

This is the power of the Divine Infant Realm

And this treant is...

'A treant from the Celestial Calamity Wood Beasts!'

'Moreover, a treant at the Early Stage of Divine Infant!'

Song Yan had done a lot of homework on Celestial Calamity Beasts using family resources.

The Five Elements Celestial Calamity Beasts each have their own characteristics, with Earth Beasts being numerous and Wood Beasts known for their bizarre means.

Sure enough, Song Yan saw dark green mist begin to seep from the green hand gripping him, and rolling poison gas gradually rise.

He dared not test the strength of that poison with his body, so he lifted his left arm abruptly, and the eight White Cave Crystal Jade Gloves spun wildly. With one grip, he used the "One Step to Heaven" technique, then transformed into the lifebound secret technique of the White-clothed Immortal's palm to grip the Divine Infant Treant's fingers and bend them forward with a sudden twist.

Crack!

The fingers broke.

Song Yan transformed into escape light and flew out.

It must be said, this treant of the early stage of the Divine Infant was considerably stronger than those of the early stage of the Ancient Race, even stronger than some from the Dragon Tomb Ancient Race.

The finger Song Yan snapped back with a sudden rebound, countless sprouts intertwined rapidly to restore.

By this time, Song Yan was already thousands of feet away.

Yet, a black light suddenly broke through the earth, tightly entangling his ankle, dragging him down with a "bang" onto the ground, raising billowing dust.

Countless treants surged from the surroundings.

Countless vines, like a tide of snakes, overlapped and swam towards him, intending to engulf him.

However, once the dust settled and the vines pounced,

the man below was gone!

And not far from there, in a cave, Song Yan's figure appeared urgently, swiftly deploying the array flags of the Yin Mansion Sacrificial Array and hurriedly throwing in the Nether Tree.

With the disappearance of the Netherworld's Qi, he finally felt the treant's restlessness outside the cave visibly subside.

Song Yan let out a long sigh of relief, thinking to himself: 'Fortunately, the Celestial Calamity Beasts have no intelligence, only moving according to the Netherworld's Qi, otherwise today would surely have been a fight to the death.'

He was skilled in various escape techniques, also able to use the "Carefree Scripture" to connect with the Thought Escape; hence, at the instant of contact with the ground, he instantly utilized Earth Escape. Now quickly setting up various arrays, then sitting cross-legged beside the Nether Tree, closing his eyes to recuperate swiftly.

Gradually, the terrifying forest quieted down.

Song Yan's divine sense swept over the Nether Tree.

He could sense the small tree's roots beginning to take hold here again, quietly absorbing the life energy of this land in an extremely secretive manner.

The speed was not fast, but it was absorbing every moment.

Song Yan felt inside the storage bag and took out a jar of fine wine previously purchased in East Corner City, popped open the seal, took a swig himself, then relaxed comfortably against the stone wall, recollecting that Divine Infant Treant he had encountered earlier, thinking: 'If I could sacrifice it, it would surely be beneficial both for me and the Nether Tree.'

With this thought, he replayed the battle just now, pondering a strategy to break the situation.

...

...

Early the next morning, the morning light shot in from outside the cave, carrying the scent of an ancient forest.

Outside the cave, thin miasma mixed with golden light, the faint buzz of flying insects' wings and the low hums of underground bugs could be heard.

Song Yan stretched his arm, looked at the Nether Tree, just about to do something when he suddenly narrowed his pupils, his mind alert, gazing into the distance.

At this moment...

South of Dongyu City.

The mountains were nearly flattened, but as a result, the Earth Beasts dissipated, forming new hilltops in various places.

Beyond Song Yan's Nether Tree's former location, on a path that could hardly be called a road, walked three figures.

Two women and a man.

The woman in the middle had long legs, almond eyes, peach-like cheeks, an expression with an indifferent, dreamy look, her lashes seemingly veiled in a mysterious mist.

Her tall and slender frame was wrapped in an inky-black sword robe, the wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, a longsword attached to her back.

As she walked, the sword's tassel, and her ponytail swayed, while her figure was ethereal like a reflection in water.

This woman was Demon Mother Su Yao!

To her left, another woman was mechanically stiff, her eyes unblinking, her head motionless, her cheeks were painted with vivid rouge, looking exceedingly eerie.

The man on her right, however, was alert, glancing around like a monkey.

The monkey-like man was respectfully looking at Demon Mother Su Yao, saying: "Right here! It was I who spotted that Po Xu Red Spider Lily, but only because I was searching for something blooming elsewhere, I was a bit late, and that scoundrel got it first. After finally tracking his tail, I realized his power was truly formidable, so I sought you, Demon Mother, to uphold justice."

Demon Mother Su Yao, and the stiff woman, remained unresponsive.

The monkey-like man continued: "If it was someone who found the Ancient Tomb at that time, ten to one, they would be a Celestial Demon. You'd think that all of us being Celestial Demons, seeking to swallow more life to grow stronger, why bother?"

The stiff woman suddenly said: "If it's truly Po Xu Red Spider Lily, you cannot keep it."

The monkey-like man said: "I never intended to keep it, just wanted to use the still-young Po Xu Red Spider Lily for something."

The stiff woman said: "What thing?"

The monkey-like man smiled and said: "Celestial Venerable Secret Realm."

The stiff woman was stunned, asking: "When did you come here?"

The monkey-like man said: "Came here since ancient times, just unlucky, never managed to swallow anything good. Later, even when I finally did, the Celestial Venerable beat it out of me, nearly killed me outright."

The stiff woman mechanically laughed, producing a "gege" sound as if gears were malfunctioning, and finally said: "If the Celestial Venerable really struck you, you should have already turned back into Evil Thought, returning to the Sea of Suffering."
