At this critical moment of life and death——

“Woooooooooooooo!!!”

A roar, a mixture of utter agony, fury, and the frantic counterattack of a cornered being, like the final wail of a dying planet, boomed from the very heart of the Abyss of Life—the direction of the Throne of Thorns! It was the Mother Tree! It was the aggregated will that had been ravaged by the Cradle's destructive fire, briefly imprisoned by Pei Du but then freed, now plunged into utter madness and agony!

It was completely enraged! The indiscriminate destruction of the cradle was like lighting the final powder keg!

Boom boom boom!!!

The entire wasteland heaved and tore apart like a seething mass! Countless terrifying roots, over a hundred meters in diameter, covered in thick, pitch-black shells and dripping with sticky, dark-green pus, ripped apart the charred earth like giant, world-destroying pythons awakened from the depths of hell. With a pungent, soul-corroding sweet stench of decay, they burst through the charred earth and madly surged towards the sky... towards the vast spatial corridor, towards the diamond-shaped command ship and the suspended Nullifier troops, brazenly strangling and devouring them!

These roots exuded a massive, chaotic, and extremely hungry aura, carrying a furious will to destroy everything! They were no longer predators, but... a mad counterattack aimed at mutual destruction!

One of the thickest, most terrifying roots, like the spine of a mountain range, struck… precisely… over the canyon where Pei Du was! Its immense shadow, like the collapsing sky, instantly enveloped Pei Du and the three crimson beams of annihilation shooting down from above him!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three scarlet beams of light that were powerful enough to annihilate Pei Du slammed heavily into the terrifying roots that stretched across the area like a mountain range!

A blinding flash of light erupted instantly! The heat, intense enough to melt steel, instantly melted through the thick, pitch-black shell on the roots' surface, vaporizing it! Dark green, viscous pus poured down like a waterfall, its intense corrosiveness instantly corroding the rocks and remaining vines beneath, creating massive holes!

However, the Mother Tree's roots, straining with all their might, possessed a tenacity and vitality (or rather, chaotic vitality) far beyond imagination! Although the three annihilation beams inflicted immense damage, melting through nearly half the root's diameter and gushing out rivers of dark green pus, they were unable to penetrate it completely!

The giant roots just twitched violently and painfully, but their enormous size and the terrifying kinetic energy they contained still carried the momentum to destroy everything, and they fiercely... continued to crash into the Zero Returners troops and the space channel in the sky!

And Pei Du was right under this giant root! The dark green corrosive pus that poured down like a waterfall was like a devastating disaster, pouring down on him and the unconscious Xu Shuangyao in his arms!

In front, there's a flood of corrosive pus! Behind, there's a lock on the Zero! Above, there's a threat of a massive root collapse!

Pei Du instantly fell into a desperate situation that was even more dangerous and chaotic than before!

"roll--!"

In this desperate situation, all the hesitation and weakness in Pei Du's eyes were replaced by a violent rage that froze time and space! He let out a throat-tearing roar!

The dark gold lines covering his entire body erupted with an unprecedentedly intense light! No longer a defensive glimmer, but... an offensive, annihilating dark gold flame! He no longer attempted to dodge the cascading corrosive pus. Instead, he suddenly raised his left hand, which had been pressed against the sigils of the Throne of Thorns, maintaining a faint connection with the wasteland!

Five fingers spread out! Palms facing the sky! Facing the terrifying roots that were smashing down like a giant python! And the corrosive pus that poured down from the roots like a waterfall!

Buzz——!

A strange wave of coldness, majesty, and absolute control instantly spread out with Pei Du's left palm as the core!

The throne of thorns!

Under the dual stimulation of the desperate situation of life and death and the violent boiling of the waste abyss energy caused by the mother tree's rampage, Pei Du used the crude power of kingship that he had just comprehended for the first time... actively and desperately... with all his strength!

“Open it for me…!!!”

Along with Pei Du's tearing roar of will, the space in front of his palm was as if torn apart by an invisible giant hand!

Boom!!!

The terrifying root, as huge as a mountain, which was falling down, was grabbed by an invisible but huge hand in the air less than a hundred meters away from Pei Du's head, and then... it was suddenly torn apart... by force!

Sizzle——!!!

A terrifying roar that froze the soul and was as if the entire planet was torn apart resounded through the sky!

That immense root, over a hundred meters in diameter and incredibly tough, was torn apart... right down the middle by an overwhelming and terrifying force emanating from the very earth of the Abyss! Like a giant rotten tree being torn apart!

Dark green, corrosive pus, like a river bursting its banks, mixed with broken root tissue and sticky wood fibers, poured down from the huge torn wound like a filthy torrent of sky-falling water... in an instant!

However!

At the moment when this filthy torrent was about to swallow Pei Du and Xu Shuangyao in his arms——

Pei Du's raised left hand, which held the "Thorn Kingship," suddenly pressed down! His five fingers clenched tightly together!

Buzz!

An invisible, icy force field of order instantly formed, centered around Pei Du! The cascading torrent of foul pus, powerful enough to corrode everything, was forcibly diverted and diverted the moment it came into contact with this force field, as if it had hit an invisible barrier! Like Moses parting the sea, two cataracts of filth formed on either side of Pei Du's head, crashing down onto the charred ground on either side of him, corroding and carving two vast, smoky pits!
