Chapter 296: The Metamorphosis of the Moon Moth Phoenix
Upon seeing the Moon Moth Phoenix arrive, the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree went into a frenzy once more!
One of its main trunks had already been destroyed, and two more were heavily damaged.
But if it could digest these two humans and then devour the totem beast Moon Moth Phoenix, it might be able to ascend to a higher level!!!
With the arrival of the Moon Moth Phoenix, its unique Totem Source immediately provided a protective barrier for Mo Fan and Yan Shi.
The Moon Moth Phoenix remembered both Mo Fan and Yan Shi. Yan Shi was its guardian, and Mo Fan had saved it not long ago.
Seeing the Moon Moth Phoenix appear, Yan Shi felt both pain and joy; pain from past tragedies, and joy that the Moon Moth Phoenix was truly alive. At the same time, the power of her magic intensified!
She had begun to burn her own life force. Magical light surged wildly around her!
Feeling that Yan Shi was fighting desperately, and to ensure the complete annihilation of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree, Mo Fan quickly shouted to the Moon Moth Phoenix: "Moon Moth Phoenix, we'll hold it off, you go and devour its fruits!"
The reincarnated Moon Moth Phoenix could undergo metamorphosis by consuming the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree's fruits. So, could the current Moon Moth Phoenix use this to preserve its life?
This was his guess, but it was based on something.
"Ning~" The Moon Moth Phoenix responded, its voice seemingly carrying a hint of worry, clearly concerned for Mo Fan and Yan Shi.
"Go on, don't worry!" Just as Yan Shi finished speaking, elemental explosions erupted all around, and the dazzling light made it impossible to open one's eyes.
For thirty years, she had been immersed in sorrow, and now, having finally found an opportunity to atone, she would naturally spare no effort. Even if she died in battle, she would find peace!
Yan Shi fully unleashed her power, and the sky was completely dyed in brilliant colors. The powerful magical force distorted the surrounding space. Although Mo Fan couldn't achieve such a shocking explosive effect, he was also fully focused.
Under Yan Shi's desperate attacks, she successfully destroyed another main trunk!
As for Mo Fan, he was just providing support. Facing such an entity, it was already remarkable that he was still alive. After all, this time Mo Fan was fighting on his own!
Taking advantage of the demon tree being held back by the two, the Moon Moth Phoenix swiftly flew towards the demon tree's fruits. The demon tree sensed the Moon Moth Phoenix's intention and struggled even more frantically, but it was helplessly held firmly by Mo Fan and Yan Shi.
It could only rely on its own resistance to ward off the Moon Moth Phoenix's invasion. Unfortunately, when the Moon Moth Phoenix broke through its defenses and then rushed towards its fruits, it truly panicked!
The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree was enraged to the extreme. Its massive trunk trembled violently, and its crown surged and churned like a raging green tide.
"Roar!!!!"
With another roar, this roar was like the rumble of ten thousand thunders, a deafening sound wave carrying endless anger and killing intent swept forth.
"Buzz buzz buzz!!!!"
Wherever the sound wave passed, the air seemed to be instantly torn apart, forming visible ripples that carried absolute destructive power.
The surrounding rocks instantly turned to dust, and deep ravines appeared on the ground, as if plowed fiercely by a gigantic plowshare.
Every leaf on the demon tree glowed with an eerie light, and the lights intertwined to form a massive energy net, expanding wildly in all directions.
Any object touched by this light instantly vanished into nothingness.
Its gigantic roots burst out from underground, like mountains rising from the earth, then slammed down towards Mo Fan and Yan Shi with the force of thunder.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
...
As the Moon Moth Phoenix ascended, it also noticed the overwhelming "giant net!"
"Ning!"
However, this kind of attack had no substantial effect on the Moon Moth Phoenix. After completely breaking through all defenses, the Moon Moth Phoenix arrived at the Purple Linden God Leaf.
The leaf veins of the Purple Linden God Leaf were golden, completely different from other ordinary Purple Linden leaves.
The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree wanted to devour the Moon Moth Phoenix, and similarly, the Moon Moth Phoenix was very interested in its fruits! If it were just by itself, it would be difficult to come here and enjoy them. But now, with Mo Fan and Yan Shi, it could eat directly!
"Crack!!!!"
The Tian Guan Zi Duan Divine Tree sensed that its central leaf was being eaten by the Moon Moth Phoenix, and immediately let out a painful and furious sound.
This sound was extremely unpleasant, and its enormous body began to sway, as if wanting to shake the Moon Moth Phoenix off.
Unfortunately, the Moon Moth Phoenix was not a Moon Silkworm. In a few bites, it devoured its God Leaf. At the same time, a sacred light began to emanate from the Moon Moth Phoenix's body!
"Roar!!!!"
The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree's attraction was completely focused on the Moon Moth Phoenix. It tore open its demon mouth once again, unleashing endless fury!
The Moon Moth Phoenix suddenly flapped its wings violently, its radiant body tracing a magnificent arc, and directly plunged into the demon mouth of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree.
The Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree had not expected its opponent to be such a sly one, and at this moment, it revealed profound fear. It frantically twisted its massive tree body, wanting to spit the Moon Moth Phoenix out of its demon mouth, but it was utterly helpless against a special creature like the Moon Moth Phoenix!!!
Without the Purple Linden God Leaf, the Tian Guan Zi Duan Divine Tree's trunk was already severely cracked, and with half of its nine main trunks broken, it was truly in a critical situation!
It was at this moment that strands of holy moonlight shone through from within. The Tian Guan Zi Duan Divine Tree's internal body was actually incredibly rotten and thick with blood, like numerous blood-sucking tubes, allowing the outer trunk to appear exquisitely purple, and the leaves to be more vibrant and lush. However, the Moon Moth Phoenix possessed an extremely strong purifying power against this decay and corrupted blood!
The decay within its body being purified meant that its entire vibrant and strong shell could no longer be supported. The cracks grew larger and larger, and the light shining through became stronger and stronger.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
"Boom boom boom!!!"
The perpetually azure sky of Outer Kunyu Mountain had now transformed into a different scene. As far as the eye could see, black elemental void layers were imprinted between the extremely turbid heaven and earth. Chaotic breaths, without any regularity, wantonly lashed at this world, which was a mess of broken wood and ruined roots.
Space itself was shattered, either severely distorted by overly powerful energy explosions, or constantly drawing in chaotic storms due to the sweep of destruction, obliterating everything!
The vast Grass Valley was reduced to unrecognizable ravines, caves, and sinkholes. The divine trees that once blotted out the sky were now broken walls and ruins, no longer towering to the heavens, no longer beautiful.
Segment by segment, the Tian Guan Zi Duan Divine Tree was collapsing in this purifying light, from the main trunk to the dozens of sub-trunks, then to the hundreds and thousands of branches, and finally to the nearly ten thousand twigs and leaves!
The magnificent purple and vibrant outer layers, obtained by consuming flesh and blood, slowly turned into purple ashes in the purifying light. A strong wind swept by, and they drifted like wisps of black-purple ash-gauze, slowly dissipating and drifting away in the sky.
Originally, it still had three main trunks. But with the internal destruction caused by the Moon Moth Phoenix, its remaining main trunks also became fragmented.
The Moon Moth Phoenix had eaten the fruits of the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree, and evidently, it had gained substantial enhancement. In contrast, the Heavenly Crown Purple Linden Demon Tree was already heavily wounded from successive desperate attacks by Yan Shi.
