Though the Immortal Willow Tree knew that they were aiming for the Willow Trees, there was nothing it could do but let them eliminate the minions it spawned.
It didn't matter though. Even if they killed a hundred of its minion, the Immortal Willow Tree could make another hundred of its minions. If they killed a thousand, it would make two thousand Willow Trees. If they eliminated a hundred thousand, then it would make a million Willow Trees.
Millions of extremely tiny seeds shot out from the Immortal Willow Tree's hair and scattered all over the place. Within a few seconds of contact with the ground, millions of Willow Trees grew considerably and started attacking the cultivators near them.
With that move of it, the originally somewhat orderly army had been thrown into chaos as many Willow Trees suddenly grew from right between their ranks and attacked them.
The Immortal Willow Tree watched the scene of chaos with an approving look on its face. After that stunt, it would take him a while before it could summon another million of Willow Trees once again. However, it would seem that the current number of Willow Trees was enough to eliminate most of the seven world's army.
As for the stronger ones in that army, the Immortal Willow Tree would deal with them itself.
"Do not carelessly use your supreme art towards the willow trees in your ranks! You risk hitting the others with your supreme arts!"
"Only those with great control of their supreme arts should eliminate the Willow Trees! As for the rest of you lot, the others will assist them while the remaining ones will focus on eliminating the Willow Trees outside!"
The leaders of their respective races passed down their commands one after another. Only the army from the World of Terra didn't have a Willow Tree spawning in the middle of their formation. That was because their formation didn't leave much room for the seeds to enter and any seeds that came their way were immediately destroyed the moment they saw it.
The leader of the titans came towards where the leader of the supreme had landed.
"Can you still fight?" the titan asked the supreme that was lying flat on its back, looking at the sky.
The supreme's gaze shifted from the sky to the titan.
"Don't underestimate me. I can still fight. I only have around six broken ribs but it will heal soon enough," the supreme said. "For the meantime, can you make sure none of those pesky things came near me while I'm healing?"
The supreme was normally very arrogant when it comes to weaklings but when facing those whom he acknowledged, he wasn't as arrogant. The titan was one of the people whom he acknowledged, especially after seeing him in action earlier.

The titan looked at the Willow Trees that were slowly swarming them, however, the other supremes were currently fighting them off.
"Looks like there's no need for me to do that. Your companions are doing just fine," the titan said.
"Of course, but stay guard just in case one of them slips off."
The titan sighed but decided to do that anyway. The supreme was one of their strongest fighters and he would be a huge help in bringing the immortal down.
While the titan was protecting the supreme, the other leaders discussed the best way to deal with the newly transformed Immortal Willow Tree as they eliminated the Willow Trees that got near them. It was then that the Immortal Willow Tree appeared right in front of them, planning on eliminating them out.
These guys were the ones leading the army so if it managed to kill them, the rest would be like chickens without heads and were going to be much easier to deal with.
"Die."
Was the only word the immortal said as it launched its fist towards them.
The leaders quickly got away from his reach. Just when they thought that they had dodged its punch, the immortal opened his hands with its fingers expanding and followed right after them. The immortal stood there as it chased after the leaders of the army.
The handsome nature spirit in green robes, who also happened to be the weakest among them was the one having the hardest time in avoiding the Immortal Willow Tree's fingers. He was almost caught by it if not for his nature guardians coming just right in time to save him.
While the nature spirit was being rescued by his guardians, the other leaders evaded while attacking the fingers at the same time. However, every time they destroyed a part of the Immortal Willow Tree's fingers, it would quickly regenerate and continue chasing after them.
The sect master of the Law God Sect cut the finger that was coming to him in half. Unsurprisingly, it regenerated within seconds and continued the chase. He had no choice but to keep evading for now and cut those fingers if they managed to get very near him.
Suddenly, he felt something coming from his back.
He quickly flew towards the sky just before a thick branch could hit him from the back. That branch came out from the ground, waiting to ambush him from behind. It was a good thing that he managed to sense it first.
He looked at the Immortal Willow Tree and saw that its feet were buried in the ground. If so, that branch probably came from the claws of its feet or something.
While he was observing the Immortal Willow Tree, he noticed that the wooden finger that was chasing him earlier was now expanding towards the sky.
His brows twitched.
This couldn't go on forever. If they just keep running around like that, they wouldn't get anything done. They had to take action and end that stalemate.
The only way to do that was to attack the Immortal Willow Tree head-on. Moreover, this was a good time to attack since all of his fingers were chasing after the others. It wouldn't be able to defend itself with its hands.
With that in mind, the Law God Sect's sect master flew towards the immortal as he summoned his beloved sword out.
When he got near the immortal, he readied his sword and slashed downwards, intending on cutting it in half, vertically. But before he could do that, the branch on the Immortal Willow Tree's head that served as his hair suddenly moved and pierced the Law God Sect's sect master right in the heart.
"Uggah!" the sect master spat out blood right after that.
