"I will not give up, never!" Ning Yu gritted his teeth, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, but he still did not back down in the slightest. He could not let down his brothers' sacrifice, and he could not disappoint Mu Xue.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
The previously raging plant energy suddenly quieted down, as if in response to Ning Yu's determination. Immediately afterwards, an even more powerful energy wave converged from all directions, flowing into Ning Yu's body like all streams returning to their source.
At the same time, the already somewhat scattered rune array began to tremble violently, and the remaining rune energy frantically gathered together, forming a huge energy sphere that exuded an aura of destruction.
"Ning Yu, be careful!" Mu Xue's eyes widened in horror, feeling an unprecedented sense of crisis.
Ning Yu also sensed the deadly threat, but it was too late for him to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as the enormous energy sphere hurtled towards him, while the plant energy within his body reached its peak at that moment.
"boom--"
A deafening roar shook the entire space, causing it to tremble violently as if it were about to collapse at any moment…
The aftershocks of the explosion had not yet dissipated; smoke and dust filled the air, obscuring everything. Mu Xue struggled to see clearly, but only felt waves of dizziness. She could feel her heart pounding violently, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.
"Ning Yu..." she called out the name with all her might, her voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.
Only deathly silence answered her.
Despair overwhelmed her like icy seawater; she lowered her eyes helplessly, letting tears silently stream down her face. Was it all over?
Just then, a faint energy fluctuation caught her attention. Although the fluctuation was weak, it was full of vitality, completely different from the violent runic energy before.
Mu Xue suddenly opened her eyes, looking incredulously in the direction from which the energy fluctuations came. There, on the ground that had been leveled by the explosion, a new green shoot was breaking through the soil, emitting a shimmering light.
The new green shoots grew at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into a giant vine. Countless tender buds broke through the shells on the vine, stretching out their new leaves, as if greedily breathing in the rare fresh air in this apocalyptic world.
What shocked Mu Xue even more was that this new force was surging towards the direction where Ning Yu had fallen.
"This is..." Mu Xue's eyes widened, a glimmer of hope igniting in her heart. Could it be that Ning Yu could still be saved?
However, before her hope could fully rise, an even more terrifying pressure swept in from all directions. The remaining runes seemed to be provoked, emitting angry buzzes as they frantically converged, forming a massive black vortex that exuded a suffocating aura of destruction.
"Oh no!" Mu Xue's heart sank. She realized that the final battle had begun.
