The leaves were no ordinary things, flying with such speed that they instantly sealed the space around Li Xiaotian, leaving him no room to dodge, forcing him to confront them directly.
Facing the World Tree's assault, Li Xiaotian let out a cold snort and unleashed both fists simultaneously. They moved like divine dragons emerging from the sea, their power unmatched as they met the countless leaves head-on.
"Bang bang bang!"
Fearsome collisions resounded as the two clashed fiercely, erupting in boundless radiance that distorted the surrounding space.
"Screech!"
Suddenly, the World Tree violently extended its branches, transforming into streaks of emerald chains that coiled downwards, attempting to bind Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian's expression turned icy. He crossed his arms, blocking the incoming emerald chains.
"Clang clang clang!"
Sparks flew, and verdant luminescence burst forth. These chains, though seemingly soft, contained incredibly terrifying power, numbing Li Xiaotian's arms with their impact.
However, they did not hold him for long before he forcibly tore them apart.
This was undoubtedly a battle of astonishing magnitude. All the trial participants were fighting the World Tree, and even Li Xiaotian had never experienced such treatment.
Of course, this did not mean the World Tree's terror was unmatched. It was simply too vast, its foundation too profound and formidable to kill easily. If its opponent were on par with the trial participants present, its strength would likely be at most equivalent to figures like Li Yuntian and Shen Ming.
Gradually, the World Tree began to falter. Its opponents were too numerous, and many trial participants started to cooperate against it. Furthermore, powerful individuals like Li Xiaotian and Mo Tian had already depleted a significant portion of its reserves, leaving it with diminishing strength.
"You will all die, every last one of you! You dare to provoke me, you must pay a heavy price!"
The World Tree roared in fury, shaking violently. Boundless emerald light surged, unleashing a terrifying power that swept through the surroundings.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
In an instant, the leaves on the World Tree transformed into fearsome blades, stabbing out like arrows that tore through the void. They were sharp and awe-inspiring.
These leaves were exceedingly sharp, easily cleaving the void with astonishing speed and lethality, striking fear into the hearts of many trial participants.
However, everyone could also sense the World Tree's desperation. The reason for its sudden frenzy was undoubtedly its awareness of the imminent crisis.
The World Tree raged, its vines dangling down, entangling some trial participants and slowing their movements, making them vulnerable to more attacks.
But at the same time, the trial participants' counterattacks became more desperate and ferocious. Everyone felt the World Tree's urgency, and thus, they became less afraid of it.
"Boom!"
On the other side, Mo Tian was enveloped in divine radiance, his black hair flowing. He appeared heroic and formidable, like a demon king descending.
His aura was immense, his fist intent vast. Each punch carried unfathomable fluctuations of divine power, easily shattering countless leaves.
He was indeed terrifyingly powerful, his physique as solid as a fortress. No matter how these leaves attacked, they could not inflict any damage.
At this moment, he swung his palm towards the World Tree, causing several branches to break and be flung away.
"Hum!"
Suddenly, a branch trembled, transforming into a sharp long sword and slashing towards him.
This sword was entirely emerald, exuding a potent wood element essence. It moved like a living creature, with extreme speed.
"Hmph!" Shen Ming let out a cold snort, his body erupting with brilliant golden light. He extended his right hand, his five fingers crystalline, as if cast from gold, carrying a strong gust of wind. He seized that emerald branch.
"Crack!"
The next moment, the branch exploded inch by inch, turning into countless fragments.
Shen Ming, not to be outdone, stepped forward, traversing a thousand meters in a single stride, instantly closing in on the World Tree's main trunk. He launched a punch.
"Pfft!"
A small, localized world shattered, transforming into a rain of light that cascaded down.
Li Xiaotian observed these two from the shadows, his gaze serious. He had to admit that they were formidable opponents, not to be underestimated.
Simultaneously, besides the powerful destructive force displayed by experts like Li Xiaotian and Shen Ming, many other dazzling talents also showcased their prowess in this great battle.
For example, a man, treading with profound steps, instantly appeared before a branch and kicked it. With a loud bang, the branch was directly kicked and shattered into countless pieces.
There was also a woman, the expert from the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox, who froze a vast area, turning it into an expanse of ice, a terrifying spectacle.
"Bastards! Die! All of you die!!"
The World Tree suddenly shrieked, its voice deafening, echoing through all directions. Following this, its body shook violently. Branch after branch whipped out from all directions like venomous snakes, carrying a terrifying aura of slaughter.
Branches lunged from all sides, dense and obscuring the sky, covering an area of a hundred miles, striking dread into the hearts of all.
It was unleashing one ultimate move after another, attempting to turn the tide and suppress its opponents.
Not only that, but more branches extended, covering the sky like a vast net, enveloping the entire void, sealing heaven and earth, making escape impossible.
"Rumble rumble..."
All sorts of terrifying phenomena occurred. Thunder exploded in the void, lightning streaked across the sky, and meteorites fell from the heavens, carrying destructive power that submerged the area, destroying more than half of it.
Even some branches acted like blades, like spears, incredibly sharp, piercing the void and the vast land, creating scene after scene of brutal devastation.
At the same time, the trial participants launched their final counterattacks.
"Roar~"
Mo Tian roared towards the heavens, his body swirling with demonic energy. Demonic patterns surged across him, transforming into the most terrifying symbols and chains of order, wrapping around his body's surface, forming a suit of demonic armor.
Then, he leaped up, unleashing a palm strike with a terrifying aura, pulverizing countless branches.
"Annihilate!"
Li Xiaotian's gaze was chilling, a terrifying brilliance flashing in his eyes. He clenched his fists and unleashed the World-Destroying Fist. Each punch was merciless and vicious, striking out in all directions.
His strength was incredibly potent, his fist imprints earth-shattering. Each punch could destroy mountains and fill seas, possessing immense power. As they collided with the attacking branches, terrifying sparks erupted.
"Dong!"
His fist imprint was majestic. With one punch, he sent a branch flying, then leaped up and stomped on the World Tree's root.
With a crisp "crack," even the thick root was snapped off by a section.
"Roar!"
The World Tree roared in fury. Infinite emerald light bloomed, transforming into terrifying killing intent that surged forth. Leaf after leaf transformed into sharp arrows, shooting towards Li Xiaotian in a vast barrage.
"Hmph!"
Li Xiaotian snorted, unleashing punch after punch, piercing the heavens and completely shattering all the attacking leaves.
"Bang bang bang..."
His fist techniques were sharp and overbearing. Each punch seemed capable of carving out a new world, crushing everything in its path, invincible.
"Roar!"
The World Tree roared, shaking the void. Green light surged from its body, enveloping its massive trunk as if it were clad in emerald armor.
The next moment, it let out roars, its voice growing louder and louder, eventually forming sound waves that surged like a tide, covering everything and shattering all in their path.
