311: Chapter 311 The Tree of Heaven

"A mysterious woman has appeared, suspected to be an entity revived from the ancient era. She has been to the Beast Battlefield and met with Master Long and General Wang Ming, and has appeared consecutively in the two Forbidden Grounds of Dongshi River and Lingzhao Mountain. Her current purpose is unknown, and both times she asked about the name Lu Zheng."

"General Lu Zheng, we do not know the whereabouts of this woman for the time being."

"If you encounter her, please be sure to be careful."

After Lu Zheng turned off the device, he looked outside, his eyes complex. An entity suspected to be from the previous era had emerged, and had even had contact with Master Long and General Wang Ming.

And she had also been to Dongshi River and Lingzhao Mountain.

Was it a coincidence, or...

Lu Zheng immediately stopped overthinking; based on current intelligence, the threat was not significant, otherwise Master Long and General Wang Ming would not have let her leave.

He then focused his attention on the Forbidden Ground below.

This Forbidden Ground was located in a corner of a remote area of China, and it was a large Primeval Forest.

High in the sky, one could see a massive tree; this giant tree blotted out the sun, its enormous canopy covering a radius of ten miles.

Ordinary large trees were like weeds in front of it.

From this, one could see the sheer size of this tree.

This was the first time Lu Zheng had seen such a large tree.

Because this place was in a remote area of China, it was sparsely populated, so the danger it posed was significantly reduced, and thus the situation here was only recorded in the files.

The Chinese Government had deployed its military forces to more important places.

There was very little information about the situation in this Primeval Forest.

However, as Lu Zheng stood in the fighter jet, looking at the Primeval Forest below, a hint of gravity appeared on his face; the threat of this Primeval Forest was not comparable to Dongshi River or Lingzhao Mountain.

Just the giant tree alone felt thorny to Lu Zheng. The moment he saw the giant tree, its attributes appeared in his eyes.

[Tongtian Tree] (Remnant) (Evolving)

[Rank]: Unknown

[Ability 1]: Unknown

[Ability 2]: Unknown

[Ability 3]: Unknown

...

[Combat Power]: Unknown

These were the attributes of the giant tree in front of him. Apart from the name, everything was unknown; he knew nothing about its Rank, abilities, or combat power.

Tongtian Tree...

"Just hearing this name, it doesn't sound simple at all..."

Lu Zheng muttered in his heart. He had previously seen the name Tongtian Tree in novels and had thought it was just something made up in myths and novels, but he never expected to see this entity in the real world one day.

Now that the Tongtian Tree existed, what about the other entities in myths...

"Damn it."

"Why do I feel like this world is starting to become a bit strange?"

"Is this Spiritual Energy Revival?"

"I think this is the revival of myths!"

Lu Zheng complained internally. He now knew that when the System displayed 'Unknown', it meant that the strength of the detected object was several times higher than his own.

Regardless of the origin and Rank of this Tongtian Tree, whether it was Tier 4 or Level 5, it was not something he could deal with right now.

In the Primeval Forest below, it was not just this Tongtian Tree that posed a threat; Lu Zheng also sensed the auras of two other Tier 4 Beast Kings.

If it were just the two Beast Kings, Lu Zheng would still have the strength to fight, but if he added this Tongtian Tree to the mix, it would probably be quite tough.

At this moment, the time tower also saw this giant tree through Lu Zheng.

For a moment, the time tower was trembling slightly.

"Impossible, I haven't seen it wrong."

"Tongtian Tree... how could it be the Tongtian Tree?"

"Was it not felled by many unknown entities working together several eras ago!"

"It had disappeared for countless eras, and I thought it had gone extinct and would never appear again. How could it appear in this era..."

"Is this era somehow special, or what is going on?"

The voice of the Spirit of the time tower sounded in disbelief, as if it had seen some incredible entity.

"No, it is not the Tongtian Tree."

"At the very least, it is not the original Tongtian Tree."

"The size of this Tongtian Tree is only about the size of a single branch of that Tongtian Tree."

"It is truly strange; how did it survive?"

The voice of the Spirit of the time tower continued, but Lu Zheng did not know these words.

"General Lu Zheng, below is the Shennongjia Primeval Forest of our China."

"It is also currently recognized as the most powerful Forbidden Ground."

Inside the fighter jet, the voice of the pilot, Flying Eagle, rang out, filled with deep worry. He was also an Evolver, and had only heard of this place from some top-secret information before.

But upon entering, he felt a pressure, a pressure that made him feel uncontrollable fear.

Especially that giant tree.

Just by taking a glance from afar, that feeling became even more serious and intense.

Neither Dongshi River nor Lingzhao Mountain had given him this feeling before.

He couldn't help but worry about General Lu Zheng.

"Shennongjia..."

"It really lives up to this name."

Lu Zheng muttered, and then a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Let's go!"

"Go to the next one."

Lu Zheng was not the type of person who would refuse to turn back even after hitting a wall. Knowing it was impossible to do something and still doing it would be seeking death. He was not an opponent right now, but that did not mean he would not be one later.

Possessing the System, he believed that as long as he was given some more time, his strength would undergo earth-shattering changes.

"Yes!"

Hearing General Lu Zheng's words, the pilot Flying Eagle hurriedly nodded, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

After all, this place was too dangerous.

However, it was very remote here, so the level of danger was not even as high as the previous Lingzhao Mountain and Dongshi River.

He had been worried that General Lu Zheng would insist on attacking and that some accident would happen.

High in the sky, the fighter jet turned around and immediately burst into extremely high speed, preparing to leave this place.

However, at this moment, an anomaly suddenly occurred in the Shennongjia Primeval Forest below.

As if an earthquake, it began to shake violently.

Countless birds and beasts began to flee in panic.

There were even many powerful Evolved Beasts roaring.

After Lu Zheng sensed all of this, he frowned, because the source of all this was that Tongtian Tree; the source of all the vibrations was right under that Tongtian Tree.

For a moment, a bad premonition arose in Lu Zheng's heart.

And in the next second, in the Shennongjia Primeval Forest, the earth cracked, and then a massive tree root shot up, heading straight for the fighter jet in the high sky.

Why was it called a tree root?

Because the mysterious thing that suddenly appeared had the Tongtian Tree as its source, and there were many fine roots on it.

But it was just a single tree root.

Its length and width looked even more imposing than the Clone.

It pierced straight into the clouds.

Carrying terrifying power and speed, as if piercing through space, it constantly closed in on the speed of the fighter jet.
