Forest of Life

Forest of Life, verdant, thriving forest

## Appearance

Endless life energy invigorated everyone's minds. It was completely different from the Dark Forest. This place was full of tranquil air that freed people of their worries. Just entering this forest would make a person feel like their heart was being cleansed.

When Long Chen and the others came off the flying boat, they couldn't help closing their eyes and sensing that sacred and pure energy in the air. It made them feel so close to the forest.

Towering trees still covered the sky, but sunlight managed to sprinkle on the ground. From a distance, it looked like streaking rainbows were roaming within the forest. It was a world of fantasy.

Divine light fell and condensed a rainbow bridge that stretched into the depths of the forest.

This rainbow was composed of countless rainbow-colored leaves. As they walked along with it through the giant forest, immortal qi swirled around them, making them feel like they had entered an immortal world.

Dream Butterflies light up the forest.

### Floating islands

A large open space appeared in front of them. Many floating islands hung in the air.

The flying islands were all of different sizes. The larger ones would be hundreds of miles wide, while the smaller ones were just a few meters.

Those islands were overflowing with greenery. They were like green clouds floating in the sky.

Spring water flowed down from them. Under the sunlight, it was especially dazzling. They were like silver rivers flowing down from the heavens.

Such beauty was something Long Chen and the others had never imagined even in their dreams. They were all intoxicated by the sight.

Suddenly, the ground beneath them began to rise. Only then did they realize that the rainbow bridge beneath them had disappeared, replaced with a rainbow-colored parrot that was carrying them to the floating islands.

They flew past thousands of floating islands. From this height, their admiration of the Spirit World's supernatural beauty increased even more.

"Originally, the Spirit World had eight places with similar floating islands. Unfortunately, this place is the only one left." Seeing that Long Chen and the others were stunned by the beauty here, Ling Yao was first proud, but then she lamented.

The Dark Forest destroyed such beauty.

After entering the Forest of Life, they sensed a feeling of unprecedented tranquility. It made them feel even more disgust for the outside world's slaughter.

When this place was compared to the Dark Forest, one was a wonderland, while one was hell on earth. All of them felt regret that those other floating islands had been ruined.

## Inhabitants

They are a group of kind lifeforms, and they feel respect and gratitude toward all life. They don't hold grudges, and they don't feel hatred. When the human race betrayed them, did they complain? Despite being betrayed by the human race, they still accept and trust them. This is their instinctual reaction. They are pure-hearted and good. They love life, they revere life, and they make life their conviction.

## Spirit Warriors

The Forest of Life had ninety million spirit warriors. They possessed such long lifespans that they had to be measured in millennia.

The longer they lived, the greater their combat power would be. They had no cultivation base rankings. Instead, it was their age that was used to divide their power. They were split into Spirit Kings, Spirit Generals, Spirit Guards, and Spirit Soldiers. They could generally be equivalent to the human race's Life Star, Soul Transformation, Jade Core, and Foundation Forging realms.

The Spirit race's warriors would only reach the level of a true Spirit Soldier when they had reached two hundred years of age. Without reaching that age, their combat power would be even lower. The spirit warriors' appearances never changed. They appeared the same as when they had just been born. Other than their own people, no one else could tell them apart. Those who had lived for two hundred to a thousand years were called Spirit Soldiers, one thousand to two thousand were Spirit Guards, two thousand to five thousand were Spirit Generals, and five thousand to ten thousand were called Spirit Kings. There were less than ten thousand Spirit Generals, and about eight million Spirit Guards.

There were also over three thousand eleventh rank Magical Beasts, a hundred thousand tenth rank Magical Beasts, and an uncountable number below that level in the Forest of Life. A force of this level would be shocking on the Martial Heaven Continent.

### Life God Tree

There are no male warriors in our Spirit race. These warriors are not humans. They are the fruit of the Life God. They took human form with the Life God Tree's power. Bows and arrows are the martial weapons that allow them to unleash their greatest power. Although their arrows are made of ordinary wood, when they shoot, they will pray to the Life God, giving their arrows divine power that can pierce the armor of experts and the hide of Magical Beasts.

"It is because they are the fruit of the Life God Tree that they are like pure and naive children. They are like a sheet of white paper. After years of fighting against the Dark Forest, countless spirit warriors have lost their lives. In order to protect everyone, the Life God has spent all its energy. You can also see how bad the Life God Tree's situation is. It's unable to give birth to any more spirit warriors. Originally, when the spirit warriors die, a portion of them will transform into spiritual qi and return to the Forest of Life to be absorbed by the Life God Tree. But when the Martial Heaven Continent's experts capture them, they will refine them into divine life elixir.

## Guardians

There were huge tigers lying on the ground, resting. They also saw huge pythons extending their heads to stare at them.

They were 11th rank Magical Beasts.

Those Magical Beasts didn't give off any malice, but their auras were extremely shocking. They were Magical Beasts on the Life Star level.

However, these Magical Beasts didn't give off any hostility as they passed. More and more of them appeared as they entered deeper into the forest, but they were all very tranquil. It was like they were domesticated.

"They are the protector spirit beasts of the Forest of Life. They're our friends. They'll only attack when facing the brutal Dark Forest," explained Ling Yao.

## Strength

"Although the Forest of Life now has eight hundred thousand new Spirit Generals, our true power is still probably less than a tenth of the Dark Forest. Due to the passageway the Dark Forest established in the Martial Heaven Continent, they managed to absorb the air of death and resentment that exists there due to the constant battles. It was the best nourishment for the Dark Forest. The Heaven Devouring Forest that existed there was nothing more than the tip of the iceberg. The Heaven Devouring Forest simply constantly funnelled the Martial Heaven Continent's air of resentment into their channel as feed for the Dark Forest. To put it one way, they were just some workers for them. This is why I didn't want you to participate in this battle when you first arrived. One reason is because I didn't want to implicate you, but the other reason is that this is simply a hopeless battle."

The Forest of Life was not good at fighting. The only ones capable of fighting against enemies were the Spirit race warriors and the spirit beasts.

The huge trees of the Forest of Life were unable to fight. They could not participate in the front lines. They were pure existences of life. Death and resentment were poison to them.

This was why Yao Ling, the forest divinity that Long Chen had encountered back then, had to rely on weak villagers to bring her flesh despite being in possession of great power herself.

The Spirit Emperor gave Long Chen a green leaf. It merged into his hand, and an image of it appeared on his palm.

The Spirit Emperor said that this was a leaf directly connected to the Life God Tree. Through it, Long Chen could use his Spiritual Strength to send orders to the Life God Tree, and the Life God Tree would transmit its orders to all the Forest of Life's creatures. It was the most effective way of commanding them.
