Chapter 834: Noob (1)
When she saw Li Xiaofei sitting cross-legged in meditation in front of the treehouse, Little Aunt’s heart stirred with a plan. Supported by the branches beneath her, she once again soared into the air.
She formed a hand seal with both hands, unleashing a flash of light that shot into the surrounding peach garden. The once-tranquil peach trees suddenly turned wild and violent.
The leaves of the trees on the outer edges withered and yellowed in an instant, as if spring had abruptly turned to late autumn. The yellow leaves fell, their moisture drained away. At the same time, thick mist rose, and soon a heavy downpour crashed from the sky. The raindrops carried a strange magical power that drowned the burning forest fires, forcing them to sputter and die.
The flaming Ruos screeched in agony as they collapsed, their flesh melting away. Even the crimson giant Ruo, wreathed in blazing light, began to weaken rapidly. Countless withered branches crept forth, wrapping around the crimson giant Ruo, coiling and strangling, as if determined to drag it alive underground to become blood-soaked fertilizer.
The crimson giant Ruo’s massive body exploded with a loud bang. The terrifying shockwave shredded everything within three to four hundred meters, smashing apart the precious peach trees and leaving deep craters in the ground.
Blood sprayed out, splattering the nearby peach trees. The blood sizzled as it soaked into the tree trunks. The pungent stench of blood spread quickly into the depths of the grove. This self-detonation had destroyed and polluted at least one-fifth of the peach forest.
The massive disturbance left Luo Ge, Tan Qingying, and the others visibly shaken. Even Little Aunt’s expression grew heavy. She had learned from scattered clues that one of the Mother of All Beasts’ greatest objectives in invading Heaven was to seize Doushuai Palace and the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
According to legend, the Eight Trigrams Furnace could refine anything. Not only could it concoct pills, but it could also forge divine weapons and even temper living beings. The imperial weapons of the Five Great Emperors had once been sanctified and strengthened within the Eight Trigrams Furnace. Now that they had learned that the Eight Trigrams Furnace was somehow linked to Li Xiaofei, the Ruos’ madness became understandable.
The current problem, however, was that if more creatures of the same caliber as the crimson giant Ruo existed within the horde, then even the Peach Garden might struggle to withstand their frenzied assault.
Just as that thought crossed Little Aunt’s mind, her expression suddenly changed. In the distance, three colossal figures, each over five hundred meters tall, appeared. They were three deep crimson giant Ruos, even taller than the one that had self-detonated earlier.
The violent aura they emitted was far more terrifying. These were higher-tier Ruos, and their bodies even carried faint traces of primal energy. It was very likely that they were sub-primal offspring, directly spawned by the Mother of All Beasts. This was serious trouble.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Little Aunt quickly performed a series of hand seals. A vibrant green Single-Dao seal shot into the peach forest, and the peach trees began to grow at an astonishing rate as if injected with a growth stimulant.
