Before they could even say anything, the Immortal Willow Tree disappeared from their vision.
The titan and the supreme were the closest ones to the Immortal Willow Tree so they were more cautious compared to everyone else. If there was someone the immortal was going to attack soon, it would undoubtedly be them so they immediately put up their guard. The next thing that happened...
They knew pain.
The Immortal Willow Tree appeared right behind the titan and kicked him at the back, making him fall to the ground. Next, the Immortal Willow Tree focused all its attention on the supreme, the one that it hated the most compared to anyone else in there.
It didn't give the supreme any chance to react. It was upon him right away and held two of the supreme's six hands, then it kicked him at the front, sending him flying while ripping both of his arms in the process.
The Immortal Willow Tree didn't stop there. It chased after the supreme and made sure to beat him miserably.
It could've ended the titan and the supreme within one strike. Just one pierce from its branch and then draining them dry would've been enough to kill them but it didn't. The Immortal Willow Tree thought that a swift death was too good for these bugs. It wanted them to suffer before ending their lives.
The Immortal Willow Tree ripped another pair of his arms. Now, the supreme was left with just two of his six arms.
For the first time in the supreme's life, there was fear on his face. His entire body felt cold while his two remaining hands were shaking. The pride and arrogance in his face were gone and were now replaced by the terrified look on all three of his faces.
He had angered the immortal. He beat it and taunted it earlier, and now, he was paying the price for his actions.
"Four gone, two to go," the Immortal Willow Tree simply said as it eyed the supreme's remaining two arms. "I'll be taking these two as well."
After saying those words, the Immortal Willow Tree grabbed his arms while stepping on the supreme's body as he pulled his arms.
"AAAAAAHHHGG MERCY! STOP IT! AAHHH!"

The supreme let out a miserable shriek as his remaining two arms came off.
The Immortal Willow Tree threw away his arms like they were nothing, its gaze now on the supreme's legs.
"You're going to die soon so you won't be needing these two, right?" the Immortal Willow Tree asked, its words increasing the supreme's fear.
Before the Immortal Willow Tree could take the supreme's legs, it jumped away from the supreme as the others finally made their move and protected the supreme before it got to that point.
The supreme looked at them angrily, the veins in his neck were bulging as he asked, "What took you so long?!"
If those people just made their move sooner, he wouldn't have lost his limbs. He couldn't help but think that they were doing it on purpose so after they dealt with the Immortal Willow Tree, he wouldn't be able to compete with them anymore for the treasure.
"I know what you're thinking," the war deity said. "Everything happened too fast for our liking. We didn't want this to happen to you because if you are unable to fight, our chances of defeating the immortal would get lower."
The supreme scoffed.
He couldn't argue with that logic. Didn't mean he had to like it though.
The Immortal Willow Tree stood still as it eyed the leaders of each respective race who were now surrounding it. It had to give it to them. They were tough and annoying. It might be stronger than them all but to it, they were just like what flies were to normal humans. Only in its case, the flies before it were a lot stronger and tougher and had enough power to threaten its life.
The titan who was face down on the ground stood up and joined the others. The supreme also did the same.
While he was being beaten down by the Immortal Willow Tree, he was pretty scared. But now that the others were around him, his fear had abated.
"Now!" the war deity said.
A huge wall of water surrounded them from all sides, trapping the leaders and the Immortal Willow Tree inside. It was created by the leader of the atlanteans.
The Immortal Willow Tree looked at them in disdain.
Did they think that the atlanteans' flimsy water would be enough to trap it there?
The Immortal Willow tree was about to go out and break through the water formation when it noticed something.
Inside those waters were hundreds of thousands of explosive formations. Moreover, the water wasn't normal water. It was water made of acid, harmful to not only to itself but even to the ones who were with him inside the formation.
Not only that, but it also noticed that the army outside the formation had all their attention on their direction. Since its Willow Trees were gone since it had absorbed them back to heal its body, the army no longer had any other enemy but itself.
The moment it decided to get out, it would not only suffer from leaving the formation but it would also be bombarded by the supreme arts of those who were waiting for itself, outside.
The Immortal Willow Tree narrowed its eyes.
It had no choice but to do that.
"Emergence of a World of Trees!" said the Immortal Willow Tree as a bright light suddenly blinded everyone inside and even outside of the water formation.
The next thing everyone knew...
They were in a completely different place.
They were inside the Immortal Willow Tree's Divine Phantasm!
