Tree Island reveres the World Tree and is also home to a large number of other plant life forms.

Most of these plant life forms are just common plant life forms, with only a very few belonging to the "Special Lifeform," but many of them are powerful enough to pose a threat to the Demon Beast Clones.

"Hurry up, while all life is focused on self-preservation and has no time to pay attention to me!"

A speck of dust drifted in the air, a manifestation of the Demon Beast Clone. Although this speck of dust moved rapidly, compared to the somber atmosphere on the Tree Island, no matter how illogical it seemed, no living being would care. Everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep; who cares about the frost on someone else's roof?

Furthermore, mimicry must be logical. In other words, it cannot violate normal logic. If Lu Yan'an were to transform into a plant and move around, it would definitely attract everyone's attention. Even the two protagonists currently fighting would turn their gaze to him. Simply put, it wouldn't make sense!

It's important to know that some powerful plant life forms also possess extremely high intelligence, especially Immortal Level plant life forms, whose intelligence is no less than that of humans.

This is also why Lu Yan'an didn't dare to Teleportation directly to the World Tree, or even to perform a Teleportation action on the Tree Island.

Because that was the territory of a "peak Universe Overlord," with Lu Yan'an's Teleportation Demon Beast Clone, the Strongest World Tree would definitely notice the Demon Beast Clone the moment the spatial fluctuations occurred, and then be instantly blasted into dust!

"I'll fly, speed up and get closer to the World Tree."

The dust particles moved at incredible speeds through the air, all without attracting anyone's attention.

"So slow, the speed of flight after mimicry is really slow." Dust was already trying to get as close to the World Tree area as possible. But he couldn't go too far, could he? If he was just flying against the wind, that would be fine, but what about flying at near-light speed? If he did that, he would definitely be easily detected, and once detected, it would be death.

The dust he transformed into continued flying towards his destination, not particularly conspicuous along the way. Even if any life on this Tree Island discovered this unusual "dust," they would not cause any trouble because the strongest Life Tree was engaged in battle with that unknown opponent.

On this secluded, idyllic Tree Island, countless plant seeds were sent flying by the collision of two powerful divine forces, with dust particles barely noticeable amidst them, hurtling forward at incredible speed.

"We're almost there!" After about an hour's flight, Lu Yan'an looked at the World Tree so close before him and couldn't help but sigh.

It took a full hour for the dust transformed from the magical beasts to finally drift to the outermost edge where the "six World Tree" were located. The distribution of these six World Tree... the Strongest World Tree naturally lived in the very center, while the other five World Tree surrounded it. These six World Tree alone occupied about one-fifth of the entire island's territory.

All other plant life forms that have reached the Immortal Level or Venerable Level avoided this territory.

"Buzz..."

The six emerald-green World Tree emitted bursts of verdant light, forming layers of halos that prevented any drifting plant seeds from passing through. Within these halos, powerful divine energy emanated, constantly sending out shockwaves that turned an area of hundreds of thousands of kilometers into barren wasteland. This was after the layers of light formed by the six World Tree had weakened the divine energy emanating from within; the battle inside was undoubtedly incredibly fierce!

The dust formed from the Demon Beast Clone also fell silently.

"We have now arrived at the closest point to the World Tree. The closest one to me is a World Tree of the World Lord Level." Due to the transformation of magical beasts, this dust itself has the function of eyes, clearly seeing everything in front of it, and seeing the World Tree the World Lord Level with its thick trunk only tens of millions of kilometers away from it.

"How can I get in to watch the battle?" Lu Yan'an was once again caught in a dilemma. The main function of these layers of light rings was to weaken the divine power eruption inside the rings, preventing the aftershocks of the attacks between the two Overlord from causing unspeakable damage to the entire Tree Island.

Its barrier effect on the outside world is actually quite small, and Lu Yan'an could easily break through it with his current abilities. However, once this light barrier is broken, the World Tree inside will immediately know that an uninvited guest has arrived. Given the World Tree's control over space and time, the Demon Beast Clone will have no chance of escaping. If he doesn't break through this light barrier, he can't enter to watch the battle, but once he breaks through it, he will have to participate!

No matter what choice he makes, Lu Yan'an's goal seems impossible to achieve.

Suddenly, a shockwave from the battle between the Strongest World Tree and Venerable Mantu struck the canopy of the World Tree, a World Lord Level World Tree, right in front of Lu Yan'an.

"Rumble..."

The explosion was deafening. A burst of power, capable of annihilating Marquis-level Immortal Deity at the Marquis level and comparable to an attack at the Peak King, unleashed a particle stream that instantly ravaged an area of 500,000 kilometers. Even the aura was completely torn apart, and some branches and fragments of the World Tree were sent far away by the shockwave...

Damage over a radius of 500,000 kilometers is nothing compared to the World Tree, World Lord Level with a canopy diameter exceeding 100 million kilometers. Aside from the tree being momentarily stunned, no particularly serious consequences occurred.

Moreover, the explosion occurred tens of millions of kilometers away from its main trunk. The energy fluctuations from that explosion, even after traveling tens of millions of kilometers to reach the main trunk, were insufficient to cause it to tremble.

"Now's the time!" A glint flashed in the eyes of the magical beast Lu Yan'an. Taking advantage of the moment when the World Tree, a World Lord Level being stunned, moved slightly and entered the light ring layer. The instant he entered the light ring layer, the light ring layer, which had been almost torn apart by the wave of energy, immediately returned to its original state.

"That despicable foreign powerhouse!" The entire canopy of the World Tree, World Lord Level being, trembled, and it cried out in a pitiful voice, "Father, Father, you can spar, but please don't hurt each other!"

"Yes, yes, Father, poor Liu Liu! The shockwave from your collision sent all the branches flying off its body!"

"Haha, Liu Liu, you need to work harder! I've been telling you to focus on your training all this time, haven't I? Now you can't even withstand the aftershocks of Father's fight, that's so embarrassing."

"Hahaha..."

The other World Tree emitted bursts of laughter, some ancient, some crisp, some playful.

"Shut up, all of you!" The World Tree "Liu Liu," a World Lord Level tree affected by the attack, trembled and roared angrily. "Old Five, Old Six, it's one thing for them to laugh! You two are also World Lord. If you had faced that divine power attack, your situation wouldn't have been much better. And you're still laughing? What are you laughing at?"

"Little Six, I wasn't paying attention just now! I'm sorry, I apologize." A gentle voice resounded throughout the territory occupied by the World Tree. "But Little Three is right. If you cultivate to a certain level, this kind of attack probably won't touch you anymore! So, you should focus on cultivating from now on."

"No, no, no! Cultivation is too boring! I don't want to cultivate!" Countless branches and leaves on the crown of that World Lord Level World Tree danced wildly.

"You have no choice! Only by becoming immortal like Little Three and the others will you not die due to lifespan limitations! My minimum requirement for you is to become an Immortal Expert!" the gentle voice continued.

"Hmph."

The World Tree World Lord Level entity, had completely recovered from the explosion damage in the short time they were talking. All its branches and leaves had grown back, and there was no trace of the previous injury. There wasn't a single fallen leaf on the ground.

"Listen carefully, little ones, my sparring match with this Candidate God General of the Ancestral God Religion is about to reach its climax. If it goes on any longer, I'm afraid I won't have time to send you telepathic messages! Watch carefully, try to understand, and try to discern some of the secrets behind our battle!"

Seeing that his youngest son seemed completely convinced, the Strongest World Tree chuckled slightly. Then, he turned his attention to the Mantu Divine General in front of him.

"Then please, let's begin round two!"
