The world became hazy, like smoke flying slightly heavy, yet like scattered rain returning light.
"Everyone, behold."
As Phantylia walked slowly through the void, the entire Grotto-Heaven star dome trembled along with her. Her body was over a thousand zhang tall yet seemed boneless, her waist twisting like a lotus stem.
"My flesh body... so beautiful! Powerful!"
A gilded silver lotus crown pressed down on her long, raven-feather hair. Green wood hairpins pierced through the twelve-petaled lotus crown. Her skin was not the color of mortal flesh, but a pale azure soaked in the evil power of Abundance, with vine-like golden meridians pulsing beneath the surface.
An ink-green cheongsam woven from layers of lotus leaves draped over her. Where her wide sleeves brushed past, spore powder fell like rustling clouds, and ten enormous tails grew from her back.
"Hehe, what's wrong? Weren't you all looking for me just a moment ago? Why is there no movement now?"
Long fingernails slid across the fan ribs, emitting the sound of shattering gold and jade. Phantylia lightly waved a folding fan as vast as cloud layers to cover her mouth. Her Rinnegan narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of a smile.
"In Phantylia's eyes, you all seem as tiny as ants right now."
The ten tails behind her moved; the earth shook and mountains crumbled, the heavens collapsed and the ground sank!
"With just a slight movement of my finger, this little woman can bestow Destruction upon you all~!"
Giant jade feet, massive enough for ten thousand foot fetishists to feast on together, stepped out. The Ambrosial Arbor's root whiskers grew savagely, twisting and transforming into thick, gigantic vines and ancient trees, surging forward like awakened giant pythons.
"Denizens of Abundance, must be slain!"
Jingliu tore off her black blindfold, revealing eyes as bright red as blood. Her five fingers grasped at the void, and a long sword forged from glacial ice condensed out of thin air.
Backhanding the sword, she slashed out—Flawless Flying Light!
Sword qi, like the aurora of the polar circle's eternal night, flew out, severing the giant pythons; the incisions were instantly sealed by freezing mist.
But what surprised Jingliu was that after severing only a few roots that were dozens of meters thick, the sword qi exhausted its power!
"The strength of the roots is incorrect. Everyone, you must be careful."
Jing Yuan's expression was extremely grave.
As an Emanator, he could feel the power Phantylia possessed at this moment quite clearly. The entire Grotto-Heaven was tottering within this imposing might, as if bearing a terrifying monster, ready to topple at any moment.
It was completely different from the time at the Alchemy Commission. The difference between Phantylia with a body and Phantylia with only her Heliobus energy form was vast!
Jing Yuan stepped onto lightning stairs, ascending level by level into the air.
Profound thunder exploded high in the heavens, blasting with azure lightning. The brilliant golden Lightning Lord, summoned by the power of a megaton of thunder, arrived. The thousand-zhang Lightning Lord stood opposite Phantylia.
"Stone Fire Flowing Light."
Jing Yuan wielded the Stone Fire Dream Body. This formation-breaking blade was forged from the embers of a light arrow shot by the Reignbow Arbiter to extinguish stars.
Behind him, the thousand-zhang Lightning Lord opened its angry eyes wide. The lightning radiating from its gilded armor illuminated the entire sea area in pale azure. Wrapping itself in a thunderbolt execution, the giant blade slashed down fiercely.
Where the blade edge passed, space itself seemed to be scorched with brownish cracks!
"Hmph~!"
Phantylia snorted lightly. Her azure Rinnegan opened, and her folding fan swirled gently. The Ambrosial Arbor's root system pierced the firmament, while golden lightning and ink-green miasma tore the sea of clouds into shreds.
The verdant fan face collided head-on with the thunderbolt giant blade chopped down by the Lightning Lord. Shockingly, it absorbed a portion of the lightning!
The wooden fan waved, stirring up inexplicable ripples. After a brief stalemate, it rebounded the thunderbolt giant blade away.
"An Emanator of The Hunt... is nothing more than this~!"
The corners of Phantylia's mouth grinned open, her voice mocking and arrogant.
"That just now was... the power of gravity?"
As an old expert in playing with gravity and attraction, Welt recognized Phantylia's method of rebounding the thunderbolt giant blade at a single glance.
"This body of Phantylia's, constructed from the power of the Ambrosial Arbor, seems to be mixed with other powers as well. It's somewhat strange!"
Jing Yuan's expression was serious, his voice heavy.
"Moreover, she is still absorbing the power of the Ambrosial Arbor!"
"Oh my, General of the Xianzhou, your eyesight is not bad. But your insignificant power isn't enough to survive this catastrophe!"
Phantylia's fingertips lightly tapped the fan ribs. The azure jade folding fan slashed diagonally, instantly transforming into a azure mist hurricane that tore through space.
"As for you benefactors, I will smelt your bodies into Voidrangers, and then cherish you properly~"
The Ambrosial Arbor's root system transformed into thousands of Abomination Dragons. Strange lotuses blossomed wantonly upon the Ambrosial Arbor's profound roots, breathing out the might of Abundance and injecting it into this perfect shell molded by the Ambrosial Arbor.
"W-What a strong wind!"
March 7th's skirt was instantly blown up to her waist. Her entire person was blown away, spinning in the air like a meteor hammer being swung around by a bratty child.
"!"
The young girl hurriedly raised her hand to condense a Six-Phased Ice shield to block it, but she was only halfway done when the sharp petals and leaves wrapped in the hurricane arrived before her eyes like a volley of ten thousand arrows.
"Watch out, Ah Qi."
Caelus caught March 7th's slender waist. The graceful and elegant Sister Wind flew out from the Clow Card, circling the two of them to dissipate the hurricane.
Caelus controlled the Wind to deflect the leaves with spiraling gentle force, landing on the ground while holding March 7th.
"Phew~ That was close, that was close!"
March 7th wiped the cold sweat seeping from her fair forehead. Feeling the warmth embracing her bosom, her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and her face turned slightly red.
But now was not the time for wild thoughts.
A flaming Lance inserted deeply into the underground, carving out a ten-zhang gully amidst the gale. Stelle, her gray hair messed up by the hurricane, glanced sideways at March 7th:
"Ah Qi, shouldn't you be saying something like, 'Your great kindness cannot be repaid, so this little woman is willing to offer herself to you'?"
"What time is it and you're still cracking this kind of joke!"
As python-like root vines attacked, March 7th condensed a massive Six-Phased Ice shield to protect the three of them, conveniently delivering a flustered and angry flick to Stelle's forehead:
"That's a Lord Ravager! Do you understand the caliber of a Lord Ravager?"
March 7th pointed at the battlefield where the sky was collapsing and the earth was sinking.
If ordinary Pathstriders were the spray of crashing waves, then an Emanator was a giant wave eroding the coast; the difference between them was like heaven and earth!
"Everyone, I beg you to do your best to exterminate these phantom flowers and Abomination Dragons. I will deal with her physical body!"
Jing Yuan drove the Lightning Lord, his gaze turning fierce.
"Good!"
Welt's surrounding gravitational field rotated. He waved his cane to condense a profound pitch-black sphere; powerful gravity tore the Abundance phantom flowers to shreds.
"No problem."
Li Sushang transformed Qi into swords. Thousands of sword shadows encircled her. Her sword fingers moved to arrange a sword formation; sword qi fluttered about, slashing the petals to pieces.
But the phantom flowers seemed to possess an endless life force. The might of Abundance circulated, restoring them to their original state in an extremely short time.
"Grass and mustard under the sword!"
Jingliu's ice-cold Ancient Mirror Illuminating Spirit froze all things. The cold moon sword qi was biting, slashing through the woody whisker Abomination Dragons.
"Heavenly Flood Rush!"
Dan Heng's palm held the Abyssal Pearl, drawing upon the water of the Ancient Sea. It transformed into cleansing azure dragons that roared as they met the Abomination Dragons formed from the Ambrosial Arbor's roots, biting and grappling together.
Ordinary root dragons were not their match at all, but among them, a few Tree Abomination Dragons possessing azure Rinnegan stood out from the crowd in both recovery and combat power.
Some could absorb energy, some could manipulate gravity and repulsion, and others...
"Roar~!"
A Tree Abomination Dragon opened a maw large enough to swallow mountains and drain rivers. Destruction Path energy gathered before the hideous dragon mouth, compressing into pitch-black energy, which was swallowed into its belly and then spewed out!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Energy balls with the power of battleship shells!
"Holy shit! It can even use Tailed Beast Balls?"
Caelus's expression changed slightly.
"Isn't it just a mere Lord Ravager? I, Stelle, am the Stellaron spirit who kicked the Doomsday Beast and punched the Mother of Deception. Could I be afraid of her!?"
Stelle called out to activate her Preservation Path shield, blocking the energy cannon fired by the Destruction Dark Lotus. She was blasted back more than ten meters, but was completely unharmed.
"Leylah!"
"Yes!"
The young girl's excited voice rang in Caelus's ear.
Caelus's ball string wound around his palm at high speed. Two revolutions and flips followed by ten moon-landing ejections became:
"Galaxy Silver Dragon!"
"Roar~!"
The returning yo-yo was like a silver dragon swinging its tail. Dazzling light evolved into a silver giant dragon over a hundred meters long, its roar resounding in all directions.
It penetrated a ten-meter diameter Abundance Dark Lotus and the dragon jaws bit through the throats of the woody Abomination Dragons, crushing these ordinary wood dragons without Rinnegan.
However, those Tree Abomination Dragons possessing azure Rinnegan had sufficient destructive attack power and functional abilities. Coupled with the abnormal Power of Abundance healing their injuries, they could merge back together even if sliced apart.
Even Jingliu and Imbibitor Lunae · Dan Heng could not easily or completely destroy these Tree Abomination Dragons.
"This won't work if it keeps up!"
Seeing Bronya diving from the sky like a silver falcon toward an ink-black lotus, March 7th drew her bowstring, coordinating with Bronya's attack.
The shot Six-Phased Ice arrow froze it, but the lotus phantom flower broke the shackles in less than two seconds.
Emanator level and non-Emanator were originally as different as clouds and mud; they were absolutely not something mortals could contend with.
Even if Phantylia was a Lord Ravager not skilled in frontal combat, as an Emanator of Destruction, she was still a tier-breaking existence, the strongest beneath the Aeons!
As an Arbiter-General known for wisdom and strategy, Jing Yuan—and Phantylia—were ranked at the lower end of Emanators within their respective factions. Under normal circumstances, Phantylia, being a Heliobus, would have weaker frontal combat capabilities.
But now she had a physical body, and the Ambrosial Arbor had fused with the Ten-Tails. The influence brought by the Ten-Tails to the Ambrosial Arbor made its compatibility with the Destruction Path even higher.
And the Ambrosial Arbor, as the Abundance Miracle that brought immortality to the Luofu, was something the Hunt Aeon Lan personally severed with a light arrow back in the day. That was enough to explain the Ambrosial Arbor's caliber!
Phantylia suppressed Jing Yuan almost the entire time.
Large and small, countless Abundance Dark Lotuses, Destruction Dark Lotuses, and Tree Abomination Dragons were enough to stall everyone else.
"What do we do? What do we do?! Stelle, Caelus, hurry and use your invincible Crystals to think of a way!"
Seeing Jing Yuan fall into a severe disadvantage and imminent danger on Phantylia's home field, March 7th stomped her feet anxiously.
"It doesn't matter. I will make a move!"
The silver dragon returned. Caelus spoke with full confidence. That look of having victory within his grasp made March 7th's eyes light up.
"Are you going to summon the mecha?"
"No, there's no way to exchange for the Mashin Mecha anymore."
The Gum-Gum Fruit that could be used in bed was different from the Lick-Lick Fruit; Caelus hadn't locked in the Mecha series merchandise. Besides, there would be chances to roll for them later.
"Is that so..."
March 7th was somewhat regretful, but immediately shook her head to cast away the disappointed mood.
"Then is there anything else that can help? Hurry and take it out!"
"Caelus-cub, which one do you want?"
Stelle arrived at Caelus's side and opened the store interface.
Caelus had browsed the goods in Stelle's store before. His gaze shifted between two particular items, hesitating for a few seconds before looking at the expectant March 7th beside him.
"Let's go with this one."
"This one, huh."
Seeing the item Caelus pointed to, Stelle froze for a moment, and her expression subsequently turned into: ( ° □ ° ).
"Alright."
