"Noisy!"
Pei Du's cold voice with the texture of metallic friction sounded. It was not loud, but it was like an icy law and command, instantly suppressing the chaotic buzzing of the mother tree's will!
His left hand, pressed against the core sigil of the throne, suddenly opened its five fingers! The dark golden lines covering his palm suddenly lit up with a dazzling light! It was no longer the passive resonance or resistance of the past, but... active control! Guidance!
Buzz——!
The sigil at the core of the Throne of Thorns erupted with unprecedented brilliance! Countless tiny, cold, dark golden chains of order, composed of pure energy, instantly shot out from the sigil like a venomous snake emerging from its cocoon!
These chains of order ignored the barriers of physical space and directly penetrated the entangled vines and roots, with incredible precision... piercing into the invisible torrent of the mother tree's will that was everywhere in this space!
"roar--!!!"
A horrifying roar of pain, anger, and disbelief, as if the entire Abyss was wailing, exploded deep in the consciousness of Pei Du and all beings!
The vines and roots that madly twisted towards Pei Du were instantly stiffened and solidified, as if grasped by an invisible giant hand! The thick moss and fungi covering their surfaces peeled away, revealing the painfully twitching wood grain beneath! The mother tree's chaotic assimilation will was like hitting an invisible wall of sighs, forcibly imprisoned, compressed, and repelled by the cold shadows of dark gold chains of order!
Pei Du succeeded! He had initially tapped into the power of the "Thorn Kingship"! Although it was only a rudimentary application, and although it could only temporarily suppress rather than completely sever the connection, this momentary control bought him... a moment of respite!
His molten-gold pupils were as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice, without a moment's hesitation! Taking advantage of the moment when the Mother Tree's will was briefly imprisoned and the assimilation and erosion was forcibly interrupted, he fiercely grasped Xu Shuangyao with his right arm, covered in dark-gold patterns, and stomped his feet hard on the violently shaking throne!
boom!
The dark roots beneath his feet shattered with a thud! Pei Du's body, like an arrow freed from all restraints, carried the unconscious Xu Shuangyao in his arms. He transformed into a stream of dark golden light that tore through the gloomy space, shooting out recklessly in a direction away from the Throne of Thorns and the core contaminated area!
Speed! Speed beyond the limit! Instantly throwing away the solidified vine forest behind him, the painfully roaring will of the mother tree, and the ominous throne of thorns!
The dark golden light was like a meteorite, drawing a sharp trajectory under the turbid green sky, and finally crashed into the depths of a dark canyon relatively far away from the core area, which was formed by countless huge rotten tree trunks and thick glowing moss, like the skeleton of an ancient giant beast!
Boom!
The immense force of the impact ripped a deep crater through the thick moss, sending shards of rotten tree trunks flying everywhere. Pei Du half-knelt on the ground, his body, covered in dark gold lines, trembling slightly. His chest heaved violently, and every breath was filled with tearing pain and immense exhaustion. The forced activation of his newly realized "Thorn Kingship," coupled with his breakneck escape, had nearly drained his already weakened body after its reconstruction.
But he didn't care.
All his attention was focused on the frail figure in his arms.
Xu Shuangyao remained unconscious. Her pale face, illuminated by the shimmering green moss, revealed a heartbreaking fragility. The backlash from the forced interruption of the Mother Tree's will seemed to have temporarily calmed the chaotic conflict within her. The pale green halo beneath her skin had faded, and her chaotic aura had calmed down a bit.
But Pei Du's golden pupils were fixed on her heart.
The mark of his hand had vanished. But beneath her skin, faint, spider-web-like threads of light gold and dark green… energy veins could be seen! Though faint, they were like lurking venomous snakes, signaling that the crisis was not over. The essence of the star-core blood and the chaotic life essence of the mother tree, like two incompatible poisons, still lurked and clashed within her fragile body, awaiting the opportunity for the next outburst.
We must find an absolutely safe place as soon as possible to help her sort out, suppress, and even...dispel these deadly hidden dangers!
Pei Du, enduring the weakness and excruciating pain, carefully felt Xu Shuangyao's pulse. The pulse at his fingertips was weak but steady, carrying the resilience of life. His heartstrings, tense to the extreme, finally relaxed a little.
However, this brief, post-disaster peace did not last even for a breath.
Buzz——!
An icy, sharp scanning wave with an absolute will of destruction penetrated the turbid and twisted space barrier of the Life Abyss without any warning. Like an invisible probe, it instantly swept across the dark canyon where Pei Du was!
Pei Du was so familiar with this wave that it was etched in his mind! Cold! Precise! Ruthless! With the indifference of looking down on an ant!
cradle!
It's here! After Pei Du detonated the annihilation field, exposing the mark of the source blood spirit, and severely damaging the mother tree! It finally locked onto this abandoned testing ground that it had regarded as a garbage dump!
Pei Du's muscles instantly tensed like iron! The dark golden lines covering his body glowed faintly in response! He suddenly raised his head, his molten gold pupils piercing the cracks in the tangled vines above the canyon, staring intently at the turbid green sky!
The green sky, like a pool of pus, was being twisted and torn apart by an invisible, icy force field! A massive, perfectly circular space tunnel, its edges gleaming with dazzling blue-white arcs of energy, slowly opened against the murky green background like the cold, single eye of a cosmic behemoth!
