“Misty Mountains….” murmuring, the Spirit Flower recalled memories related to Misty Mountains.
Reading the memories of a Human, the Spirit Flower discovered that Misty Mountains was indeed taboo in China, much to her astonishment.
According to the rumors, the Tree Monster reached into space, and its roots extended straight to the Nine Hells. No one knew how strong it exactly was, the only thing known was that even the strongest and most fearsome weapon in Humans’ arsenal, the nuclear weapons, failed to harm it in the slightest.
Nuclear weapons were the culmination of Human technology, and the temperature at the center of their explosion reached hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius, enough to vaporize everything. Yet, this weapon, capable of splitting the earth asunder, failed to harm the Tree Monster.
“Uh…” The Spirit Flower fell silent, which was a rare moment. She also realized the terror of this Tree Monster, no, the Divine Tree.
[If I could seek its protection, there might be a glimmer of hope.] Just at this moment, as if noticing something, Spirit Flower suddenly asked, “Are you somehow connected to Misty Mountains?”
However, she did not receive an answer, just a light chuckle.
Instead, Qing Er turned her gaze toward a distant battlefield, where a Bull-headed humanoid monster was locked in a fierce battle with a Human.
However, judging by their state, the Human was being severely suppressed, dodging and evading in helter-skelter.
“The creature with the head of a bull and the body of a human is one of the nine Great Beasts of Misty Mountains, ranked second—Bull Demon. If you’re interested, you can seek him out.” Saying this, Qing Er’s figure transformed into a plume of red smoke that silently shot toward the girl suspended high in the sky–Ling Er.
As far as Qing Er was concerned, a prolonged separation from the physical body was not a good thing for her. Moreover, the Spirit Flower also could not display her true power.
In the end, it was still up to her to make a move.
However, that was also okay.
Under the pretext of the Spirit Flower’s control, Qing Er could openly help the Spirit Flower.
At this moment, Qing Er also noticed something beneficial.
Under the Spirit Flower’s boost, the 480,000 Spiritual Energy she had before had actually soared to a staggering 700,000. Although this incredible increase would return to its original level shortly, if Qing Er polished it well, she could gain tens of thousands of Spiritual Energy at the very least.
And for her current self, this was also a rare fortuitous encounter.
With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Qing Er, who was hidden in the sea of purple fire, returned to her body as a tinge of clarity returned in the depths of her eyes.
After a moment, much to the astonishment of the Spirit Flower, her control over Ling Er was abruptly cut off.
As if sensing the Spirit Flower’s confusion, Qing Er’s voice rang in the Spirit Flower’s mind, “Don’t think about controlling me. When it comes to psychic power, I’m not inferior to you by much.”
As she finished explaining, the roiling sea of purple fire intensified, unleashing waves of flames that surged outward, akin to the undulating motions of the sea.
The formidable momentum was even more terrifying than when the Spirit Flower was in control.
When all was said and done, it was the familiar body of Ling Er, and in terms of control, Qing Er was naturally much stronger.
Right then, Qing Er’s half-opened eyes flickered slightly as terrifying Spiritual Energy surged once again.
*Boom Boom Boom…* Accompanied by the surge of the sea of fire, scorching high temperatures also rose.
“Retreat, retreat, retreat…”
One exclamation followed after another as the Superhumans and even Mutant Beasts hastily retreated, their faces filled with shock, looking at the surging purple flames.
They had no other choice.
They had witnessed with their own eyes the Titanoboa, which possessed top-notch defense, nearly burned to death by these purple flames!
Although the Titanoboa had recovered a lot, the horror flickering in its eyes when it occasionally glanced at the purple flames was proof in itself of how dreadful these flames were.
Amidst Qing Er’s fearsome outbreak of power, at the center of the lake…
The mesmerizing Spirit Flower, that seemed to be the embodiment of all the worldly beauty, seemed to have realized something and trembled slightly.
Simultaneously, its petals of different colors stopped wilting.
“It seems I can only listen to her…” With a touch of helplessness, Spirit Flower’s voice carried a decisive tone.
In a moment…
“Rise…” a sweet shout shook the entire lake.
Subsequently…
*Boom Boom Boom…* The water in the lake started swirling as a tornado of water rose, and at its center stood the Spirit Flower, which also started to rotate slowly.
As it rotated, the terrifying tornado grew bigger, reaching a height of a hundred meters.
[Finally made up your mind?] Ling Er, who was secretly observing the Spirit Flower, had the corner of her lips rise into a smile.
[This couldn’t have gone better. Next, it’s going to be Bull Demon’s turn to carry the burden.] However, thinking about it, Ling Er’s heart sank slightly.
[If needs be, I might have to risk exposing my identity to ensure Bull Demon’s safety. After all, the Superhuams this time can’t be underestimated, especially the mysterious Dragon Guards…] Contemplating this, Qing Er squinted her eyes, looking towards a distant corner.
Vaguely, she could see several figures wearing cloaks standing quietly, looking mysterious and dignified.
…
Meanwhile, in a distant corner, the direction Qing Er was looking, several voices resounded.
“The Flame Princess’s strength is truly terrifying. She is indeed worthy of being acknowledged as a genius by the Boss.”
“Indeed, in terms of combat power, even No.1 and No.2 among us might not be able to defeat her.”
“That’s normal. After all, the current Flame Princess is being controlled by the Spirit Flower, and her strength has further increased.”
At this point, a voice asked with a hint of perplexion, “Can the Flame Princess, even with her fearsome strength, also be controlled?”
“It can only be said that this Spirit Flower is quite mysterious,” the middle-aged man in charge responded, a rare occurrence for him. Then, looking at the water tornado rising from the center of the lake, he squinted his eyes slightly and reminded the rest, “The Spirit Flower is planning to escape!”
“Where could it possibly run off to?” someone stated in a nonchalant tone, eliciting laughter from the rest.
More than half of Chinese Superhumans were here. If the Spirit Flower still managed to escape, the Superhumans of China would become a laughing stock.
The moment their words fell…
With a loud bang, the overwhelming purple flames crashed into the water tornado rising from the center of the lake.
*Kaboom!* With an earth-shattering roar, the entire world trembled. At the same time, with the lake as the center, a vast expanse of white swept the wetlands.
It was water vapor.
The water of the lake, capable of nurturing a unique flower, was extraordinary, teeming with abundant Spiritual Energy.
Now, when it collided with the purple flames, the white mist not only obscured the vision of everyone but the abundant Spiritual Energy in the mist blocked the senses of the Transcendents.
For a moment, the Superhumans and even Mutant Beasts engulfed by the vast expanse of white mist became blinded.
