Chapter 278: Chapter 221: Francis’s Perpetual Witchcraft and Speculations on the 7th Circle

“Is this the other plane?” Jerald extended his perception, curiously scrutinizing everything below.

The other speakers were doing the same motion.

“Strange, this plane seems to have only one extraordinary race, which are those white giant trees.”

“Perhaps other extraordinary races were wiped out by them in advance. Look directly below, that giant tree over a hundred meters tall doesn’t even spare its own kind.”

“They seem to be using a system of Power of Faith, similar to deities, but with some differences.”

“Right, they seem to have transformed all Power of Faith into a type of light-like element, different from deities who explore various powers from the essence of the world.”

“Truly a novel form of life, our plane has never birthed such intelligent tree-like beings.”

“Haha, this plane is more suitable for mundane life than the Abyss, it’s a great place to become a territory.”

One by one, the speakers shared their insights on the Forest Plane through observation.

“Interesting, two giant trees about five hundred meters tall suddenly rose from the ground seventy-three thousand miles to the west, moving closer to each other. It seems there might be some rule in their mutual destruction.” Francis suddenly spoke.

While the Council of the Wizard Alliance was observing the Forest Plane, in the center of a forest eight thousand three hundred miles southwest, a towering giant tree over a hundred miles high suddenly froze its swaying leaves in the wind.

“Where on earth did these life forms with such powerful life force come from?” In the perception of the giant tree, even the weakest among these beings had a stronger life force than itself, with some even surpassing the highest tree ancestor.

But no matter how it thought about it, such life forms should not exist.

Not to mention, under the tree ancestor’s directive, the rest of the extraordinary creatures in the Forest World were long exterminated.

Even if they weren’t exterminated, they occupy all of the Forest World; where would hidden extraordinary life forms get the resources to cultivate to such strength?

Doubt and fear took root in the giant tree’s heart, and it immediately extended its perception southeastward, quickly reaching a similarly towering giant tree about seventy-six hundred miles away, urgently communicating:

“Finn, thirty-four powerful unknown life forms suddenly appeared here. Some are even stronger than our supreme ancestor. You must quickly bring this news to the ancestor.”

“How is that possible?” scoffed a giant tree named Finn. “Grayson, you must be mad. Where in the world are there life forms stronger than the ancestor?”

Its perception couldn’t reach Lor and the others’ location, so it had no idea of their presence and assumed its neighbor had gone insane.

“It’s true. I’m afraid to move now, or I might draw their attention. Hurry and relay the message…” Grayson’s words abruptly stopped.

Because it noticed a spatial crack suddenly open over ten miles above its canopy, and those thirty-four terrifying beings emerged from the rift, stopping above its canopy.

Faced with the situation, it quickly summoned all its Power of Holy Light. Even if it were to die, it must take one unknown being down with it.

The fear of death was transformed by its instinct into courage to attack the formidable foe.

This was an instinct forged from the arduous battles in St. Asia.

At the same time, four-tier giant tree Finn, seventy-six hundred miles away, also sensed those terrifying beings, its heart chilling, and hurried to contact a fourth-tier St. Asia giant tree closer to the ancestor.

…

Over ten miles above Grayson’s canopy.

“Everyone, I’d like to study this giant tree. Perhaps we can discover some new Wood Elemental Runes on it.” Fifth-ring Wood Element speaker Warren looked at the giant tree below, speaking with an anticipatory tone.

He had studied all existing plant-type life in the Wizard Plane, having already discovered all possible Wood Elemental Runes.

However, the domains constructed thus far were still imperfect, and he was unwilling to break through to the Sixth Ring just yet.

Now finding a new plant life, especially a fourth-tier plant, naturally, he hoped to discover different Wood Elemental Runes to better perfect his domain.

“There will be plenty of opportunities to study this later.” Francis shook his head. “For now, it’s more important to set up the Teleportation Array and subdue those fifth-tier giant trees.”

After speaking, he turned to Domenico and said, “Speaker Domenico, tell it to drive away all…”

Francis had intended Domenico to instruct this fourth-tier giant tree to drive away all its kin to make room for Lor to set up the Teleportation Array.

These otherworldly beings served as practice for low-tier wizards, and couldn’t be squandered casually.

However, before he could finish speaking, the giant tree below suddenly emanated a dazzling light, as tens of thousands of branches spread and lashed toward them.

“Are all giant trees this reckless?” Francis raised his eyebrows, paying no heed to the branches lashing at them, and turned to Lor, asking.

Before, at Yinhua Plane, aside from the initial attack probably due to failing to sense their life force, the rest of the Yin Flowers became docile after Lor’s lesson.

Yet now, they hadn’t concealed their life force, and there were nearly ten times more of them, yet a mere small fourth-tier giant tree dared to attack them.

Though no one had formally intimidated this time, life force alone was the greatest intimidation.

The difference between the two planes’ ruling races was indeed quite significant.
