Chapter 590: All Force Towards Aldrian
In another part of the devil territory, the World Tree and the beast army continued advancing according to Aldrian’s plan. Despite their great numbers, they could move at a much faster pace than the alliance troops, thanks to the significantly higher cultivation level of each individual.
Since separating from Aldrian, they had also fought several battles, killing many devils along the way. With their high cultivation and the World Tree leading them, they were unstoppable. Unless the Seven Deadly Sins appeared to stop them, their path was guaranteed to remain smooth.
However, amidst the beast army, two new figures had joined the group—the Golden Phoenix and the Great Peng. These two beasts were on a mission of their own, hunting down devil troops to make the alliance’s advance easier. If not for them, the alliance troops would have had to face many more devils than they already did in the past two weeks.
They eventually met with the World Tree’s group. There was no way the Golden Phoenix and the Great Peng could miss the gigantic tree, as its main body was visible from a great distance. That moment also the first time the World Tree saw the Phoenix and the Great Peng.
At first, both sides were cautious, unsure of each other’s affiliation. With a peak Emperor stage Phoenix and a high Emperor stage Great Peng, the World Tree’s group did not attack recklessly. They had never seen beasts of this kind before, and they could faintly sense bloodline suppression from them, a clear sign that these beasts held a far higher status.
The World Tree also chose not to attack immediately. She chose to observe them first. In truth, the only reason they didn’t clash at first sight was because neither side made a move, opting instead to watch and assess the other.
Although they had already told each other that they were not aligned with the Devil Lord, both sides remained cautious and kept their distance. The Phoenix believed that the World Tree could be a threat to Aldrian’s plan, and the World Tree felt the same. Because of that, they did not take their eyes off one another as they traveled.
It was only after witnessing each other kill devils that they realized they shared the same goal and stood on the same side. From that point on, they continued their journey together, adding even more strength to the group.
At present, they were advancing toward the direction of the fog wall, which was already visible in the distance. The ground shook and rumbled with each movement the World Tree took, and that sound was the only one that accompanied the group as they moved in silence.
Then, the Golden Phoenix’s voice finally broke the stillness.
"Don’t you think something has been strange about the situation since earlier?" she asked the spirit of the World Tree, Vireline.
