The stolen treasure

[Second Ring: Seed of the Wild Forest!]

Yatote Feir was the first to appear on the outskirts of Hell Valley.

His branches turned into enormous arms and swept out, leveling the red maple woods ahead.

His crown shuddered, scattering countless jade-green transcendent vine seeds brimming with elemental energy. In an instant, they covered most of Hell Valley.

Boom! Crack!

The seeds sprouted the instant they hit the ground.

They ravenously drained nutrients from the soil and devoured the surrounding elemental energy, turning into wildly thrashing reddish-brown vines.

Roots with a metallic sheen pierced the stone ground, breaking it down into soil as they spread swiftly underground like countless writhing pythons.

Hundreds of green vines rose like pillars holding up the sky, joining the pale-green barrier overhead. Countless fissures split the earth, buildings collapsed with a roar, and countless zero-ring transcendents were caught in the upheaval.

Yatote Feir lowered his emerald eyes, looking down at the zero-ring wizard apprentices left scrambling by the tremors from his sorcery.

A deep, cold voice issued from his enormous mouth. "I am a kinsman of Sadi Pros, King of the Green Forest. Have your president come out to see me immediately, or Hell Valley will no longer have any reason to exist!"

A second-ring transcendent creature: a twisted treant?

Countless pairs of deep-green eyes glowed within the woods. Those were not trees at all, but transcendent creatures—treants.

The treant clan of the Green Forest Forbidden Zone had actually declared war on Hell Valley.

Feeling the powerful life radiation, Gallon Ake wiped away his cold sweat and wasted no words. "Yes! We'll report back immediately."

"A second-ring twisted treant?"

Yin Ming finished condensing his sixth first-ring mental rune.

He had barely stepped out of the meditation room when the building collapsed into rubble.
