Chapter 579: The Appearance of Another World Tree
The alliance force had already moved deeper into devil territory. After conquering the border region, they advanced to the next stage not long after and continued pressing forward. However, at this time, many cultivators who had comprehended the earth element and were advancing from the Doria Empire felt a slight disturbance in the ground.
Emperor Ladwin’s group was among them, as he too sensed the subtle tremor. The disturbance was extremely faint and went unnoticed by most cultivators, but those who had reached the emperor stage or comprehended the earth element would recognize the slight disturbance in the ground.
"Did you feel that?" Emperor Ladwin asked Imperial Teacher Elthar, who stood beside him. They were positioned some distance away from the main force, which moved steadily behind them, following their lead. Most cultivators traveled on wild beasts, in carriages, or aboard flying fortresses to speed up their journey.
"Yes, a slight tremor," the imperial teacher answered.
"With the terrain in the devil territory that we don’t entirely grasp, I really don’t know what this is. We’d better be careful, it might be a sign of the devils’ plan," he added, which made Emperor Ladwin nod.
They continued moving for a few moments, still feeling the slight tremor coming from deeper within the territory. And then—
"What is that?" Emperor Ladwin suddenly noticed something rising on the horizon.
Imperial Teacher Elthar also looked in the same direction but didn’t respond. After a few moments, they finally saw the full shape of the thing on the horizon.
"That’s a tree?!" Emperor Ladwin asked in bewilderment.
"From the silhouette, don’t you think it looks like a world tree?" he added.
Imperial Teacher Elthar continued looking at the silhouette on the horizon in silence before he nodded.
