"The Desire Mother Tree is rely a Forbidden Item; Senior’s... Pet Beast will surely defeat it." Princess Gu Guan’s purple eyes sparkled, her face full of admiration as she said this.
Chu Yi nodded, his black robe billowing gently, shrouded in wisps of grey mist that erased any trace of his existence.
On the battlefield, due to the incomplete banquet, the wisp of will from the Desire Mother Goddess that descended was very weak and was being devoured one-sidedly by the Divine Eye.
Smoke billowed and swept through. The branches of the Desire Mother Tree were deep and endless, its countless flesh-and-blood limbs coiling back towards the center. Dust swirled as intense auras intertwined and surged, launching assault after assault against the Divine Eye.
However, as the Divine Eye devoured its opponent’s power, its appetite surged. The enemy possessed a trace of the Desire Authority. Its bloated body swelled, bulging into a mass of writhing flesh that wrapped directly around the tree. Blood-red threads entwined the branches, the fleshy mass writhing and rolling with sharp teeth like chainsaws, sawing off the resilient parts. Tentacles then coiled around these pieces, devouring them completely.
Faced with such a shaless tactic, the Desire Mother Tree was on the verge of a ntal collapse. A ticulously planned strategy targeting the Moon Princess had resulted in it being ambushed by another Evil God’s Favored. Wantonly destroying the fruits of another’s labor... it’s too disgusting, truly dispiriting, it thought. Moreover, the Desire Authority was ill-suited for combat; it couldn’t compare to the opponent’s simple, brutal, and mindless Devouring Authority. For the Divine Eye, eating was all that mattered.
This scene, involving Evil Gods, left the Eternal Night Residents watching from afar completely dumbfounded.
"The Evil God’s Favored enslaved by the King of Black Robes is actually devouring the Desire Mother Tree! His appetite is too imnse! Is he trying to cultivate a true Ancient Evil God?"
"Last night, I saw with my own eyes on the live stream that the King of Black Robes ate the Master of Grey Mist. So, this ti, him bringing his little pet for a midnight snack is perfectly reasonable... right?"
"Where is the Princess? Where did the Princess go?"
"..."
The Royal City was in chaos. So people had even started live streams, broadcasting the scene for all to see.
After a long ti, the Divine Eye, holding the upper hand, finally devoured the main trunk of the Desire Mother Tree completely. It then coiled on the ground, slowly digesting its al. It was swollen like a mass of flesh occupying half the city, its surface densely packed with eyeballs and mouths, emitting a nauseating stench like a patch of filthy, accumulated sludge.
So weak? Chu Yi was sowhat surprised by the outco of the battle. The Desire Mother Tree had been defeated so easily and quickly. He had originally thought the two would be gravely injured, but the situation had turned completely one-sided. His sealed ’little cutie’ had simply and neatly devoured its opponent. He had planned to use this situation to extort the Moon Princess, but now that seed unnecessary.
If that’s the case, I’ll seal it back for now and then upgrade the Soul-Calling Banner, Chu Yi nodded to himself.
Tonight’s trade fair had suffered heavy casualties. A rough estimate, including Pet Beasts, suggested tens of thousands of units. The Soul Power from them would be an absolutely huge treasure trove. Unfortunately, all these bodies had been plundered by the Desire Mother Tree as nutrients, making it impossible to extract Spirit Cores and materials.
Just as he was about to act, a crimson silhouette approached. With the grey mist obscuring him, Chu Yi didn’t know how the other person had found him.
But this is the perfect ti to negotiate a reward, he thought. I, a practitioner of the Forbidden, helped you take down the final BOSS of the banquet. Surely, asking for a hundred units of Divinity isn’t too much? If you dare to refuse... my newly tad Evil God’s Favored is unruly. If it causes trouble in the Royal City, I can’t guarantee anything, you know.
However, a crimson moon hung in the sky. The Moon Princess, her silver hair flowing and her combat power surging, imdiately cast a cold gaze in his direction.
"Princess, you wouldn’t want..." Chu Yi was about to speak when the Moon Princess swiftly swung her blade. The weapon, thin as a cicada’s wing, wove a silver net as it fiercely bit down.
Chu Yi was about to reprimand her, to strongly condemn her for treating her benefactor this way, when he saw the blade’s light pivot, cleaving towards the dazed Princess Gu Guan standing nearby.
BOOM—
The environnt around Princess Gu Guan twisted. The city walls descended into two dinsions, losing their color and becoming monochro black and white. With the Moon Cage sealing her and the two-dinsional artistic blade striking, Princess Gu Guan was dood unless a miracle occurred!
"Stop!" Chu Yi was genuinely angered. Princess Gu Guan was crucial to his plans in the Enchanting Demon Royal Court; she couldn’t be hard by the Moon Princess.
BOOM—
A shattered Twilight Light appeared in his left eye, directly conjuring a Doomsday Clock, around which coiled a crimson, six-eyed Dragon of the End. With a sweep of his gaze, shadows and tentacles writhed madly. Perhaps suppressed by the crimson moon, their range was only a hundred ters.
In the Ti Stop Domain, I am king!
Chu Yi grabbed Princess Gu Guan’s small hand. The instant he made contact, a chilling sensation surged through him, as if so great terror was about to occur.
The Enchanting Demon Royal Court’s life-saving trump card? he wondered. He hesitated for a mont before pulling the girl to a safe corner. She paid the protection fee, after all, he thought. I’ll just charge her again after this.
At this ti, the Ti Stop lasted only three seconds, perhaps even less, before shattering! The targeted corner of the city wall imdiately descended into two dinsions and was sliced by the blade light into a two-dinsional, picture-like fragnt.
She dodged? The Moon Princess was cold and indifferent. She tilted her head slightly, calmly eting the King of Black Robes’ gaze.
"Princess, please settle the remuneration," Chu Yi said, positioning himself protectively in front of Princess Gu Guan. His aning was clear: he was protecting this person. He wanted his paynt settled quickly, as he was in a hurry.
Princess Gu Guan was stunned. She had witnessed a strange clock. But seeing the imposing figure of this ’Forbidden’ protector standing before her, and slling a youthful scent emanating from him, a blush crept onto her jade-like cheeks. Her pink lips licked themselves involuntarily, curling into a joyous arc. She was certain that this ’Forbidden’ protector’s age was similar to hers, not much older.
Interesting...
"Sir, I will pay you the remuneration I owe you in full. But for now, please step aside," the Moon Princess spoke flatly, her jade-like finger resting on the hilt of her blade. The sword reflected a frosty sharpness, and vertical pupils appeared in her eyes as a powerful battle intent erupted from her. "If I’m not mistaken, the one standing behind you is the mastermind of this entire sche."
What? Princess Gu Guan is the mastermind? Chu Yi was already wary of the Enchanting Demon Royal Court’s trump cards. Now, connecting this to the Moon Princess’s attack, he was about to jump away. A wise man stays away from dangerous won!
But such a self-preserving action would ruin his ’Forbidden’ persona. Therefore, he remained motionless, outwardly serene and calm, as if he had foreseen everything and was confident in his control of the situation.
"Huh?" Princess Gu Guan was startled. She retreated a few steps, flustered and aggrieved. "What mastermind? I’m just here for so experience. I’m not as capable as you think."
"It seems you’ve known for a while." The Moon Princess ignored her. She nodded to Chu Yi, her slender, pale neck and graceful, well-defined figure exuding an icy aura. "I suspected her from the mont you brought her out alone," she said coldly. "Although I had no proof then, her presence here now is the greatest evidence of all. Isn’t that right, Saintess of the Joyful Sect?"
