At that moment.

Looking at the entire Holy Spirit Realm, the Witch Race is indeed one of the weakest factions.

Before Han Xing and the others arrived, if not for the demigod Helas holding the scene...

The Witch Race wouldn’t even count as a major race.

However, now Han Xing has no fear of these forces.

Remember, they have even confronted and slain a demigod-level giant dragon along the Path of the Giant Dragon,

Now, the Witch Race—no, Han Xing’s faction.

Is no longer what it used to be.

The next moment.

The five humans and one wolf charged straight into the massive primitive forest.

As expected by everyone.

Their path was unobstructed.

The tree spirits completely ignored their arrival.

With the help of the ’Divine Power Shielding Secret Elixir,’ as long as Han Xing and his group did not intentionally reveal themselves,

they wouldn’t be detected even if they appeared right before the tree spirits.

It was then that Han Xing and his group discovered the defensive power of the Sky Island Forest.

Unlike the Witch Race, which constructs various defense towers for detection and attack,

The so-called defense here relied on these legendary-level tree spirits, with millions of branches on their bodies,

The tips of these branches emitted waves of divine power, seemingly weaving a massive spider web in the air.

Any enemy passing through these webs would be caught.

To avoid exposing themselves and causing more unexpected situations,

Han Xing deliberately led the group in a large detour, gradually approaching the central region of the Sky Island Forest Continent.

Upon reaching here.

The plants became sturdier and more lush.

Towering ancient trees over ten thousand meters tall could be seen everywhere.

Occasionally, they even spotted a few legendary ancient trees over one hundred thousand meters tall.

They continued to remain low-profile and cautiously searched this forest continent.

According to Han Xing and his group’s experience, the closer they got to the continent’s center, the more powerful plants there would be.

And at the very center, it was likely the location of the entity they were searching for.

Just then.

In front of them appeared an ancient tree of immeasurable height, its top invisible.

This ancient tree was like the mythical Buzhou Mountain, supporting the sky and earth!

Stretching from the Forest Continent to the highest point of the firmament.

No doubt, it was the second largest creature they had ever seen.

The first being the corpse of a beast.

Cheng Jianyong murmured in awe, "The World Tree..."

Just then, a voice appeared above them.

"Young friend, you compare this old being to such a sacred entity, you flatter me too much..."

At the instant this voice sounded.

Their scalps tightened, and a sense of crisis suddenly filled their hearts!

Because they hadn’t sensed when this voice appeared.

It was as if it emerged right beside them.

They immediately entered a combat state.

"Dear young friends, is there any need to be so tense?"

"Did you not travel all this way to the Sky Island Forest to find me?"

Han Xing finally realized.

The one speaking to them was the highest leader of the Sky Island Forest.

That demigod-level being!

They exchanged glances, the alertness in their eyes yet to fade.

After a brief contemplation, Han Xing released the bowstring about to unleash an attack and responded, "You are correct; we did come here to find you."

"Last time, you sent legendary plants from your race to aid the Witch Race, and later had someone invite me to the Sky Island Forest."

"Now, I have fulfilled that promise."

The voice sounded again.

"Indeed, there was such a matter. I thought, young friend, you would not hold up your promise to me."

"Did not expect you to come so soon."

"For someone so young, you understand gratitude and repayment."

"I truly admire you."

Hearing these words of praise,

Han Xing seemingly sensed that the other party bore no malice.

The vigilance in his heart slightly eased.

"In that case, why don’t you come out and meet us, Your Excellency?"

Upon hearing this, a sound of ancient laughter echoed in their ears.

"Young friend, have I not been before you all this time?"

The colossal tree in front of them, of innumerable height, swayed gently.

Their pupils shrank dramatically.

The next moment.

The attributes of this ancient tree appeared before him.

[Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots: Demigod-level Creature]

[Level]: Unknown

[Attributes]: Unknown

[Skills]: Unknown 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

[Divine Power Value]: Unknown

Note: An ancient tree with an extremely long lifespan, but for some reason, it carries the aura of a curse.

Upon seeing the system’s note.

Han Xing finally confirmed, this being was the leader of the Sky Island Forest.

An extremely ancient holy tree.

At this time, the entity spoke softly, "Dear young friends, are you here to help me remove the curse?"

Upon hearing this, Han Xing’s face turned serious immediately.

He spoke coldly, "Honestly, if I didn’t sense your lack of malice,"

"I’d have reason to suspect that you tricked us here to harm us."

The large ancient tree’s branches swayed gently, seemingly quite surprised.

"Young friend, why would you say such a thing?"

Han Xing raised his head and said, "You should know what the source of this curse is, right?"

"You called me here to resolve this curse. Do you think I have the power to confront a divine being?"

"Or do you think I’m not dying fast enough?"

Han Xing’s tone was not the least bit polite.

At this time, the Ancient Tree with Entwined Roots seemed to realize what Han Xing had misunderstood.

It sighed softly.

"Dear young friend, it seems you already know the source of this curse."
