The power of the flames instantly enveloped the entire forest, condensing infinitely, gradually melting the amber-like imprisoned Cangming under the intense heat. Golden liquid dripped down, sealing the wild grass on the ground that had not yet been ignited by the flames.
Mingyan's golden-red eyes seemed devoid of any other emotion as he coldly extracted Cangmingru's physical body.
If Cang Mingru were still at her peak, she might have been able to put up a 40/60 fight with Mingyan. But now that she is sealed off and Mingyan is empowered by the power of the abyss, his flames no longer just purify filth, but devour everything. Cang Mingru has no chance of fighting him at all.
She floated in front of Mingyan, her autumn-brown eyes filled with sorrow. She gritted her teeth and wept as she said, "Mingyan, please stop being so stubborn. The Noah Continent will be completely destroyed because you released him!"
Mingyan, however, was like an emotionless puppet, coldly revealing a mocking smile: "So what? The strong always yearn for even greater heights. The beings of Noah Continent, including the gods, are nothing more than lowly life forms eliminated by the times."
Knowing that the other party was unmoved by either force or persuasion, Cang Mingru had no choice but to play the emotional card: "Ayan, we are gods born together on this continent and grew up together. Our land... everything we have nurtured, don't you care at all?"
Ming Yan sneered, "What's there to care about? A bunch of trash, what's there for me to care about?"
Cang Mingru could only choke back tears as she asked, "What about me? Don't you care about me either?"
Mingyan hesitated noticeably for a moment at that instant.
Everyone thought there was a chance.
However, in the next second, Mingyan opened his palm, and a powerful attraction pulled Cangmingru's neck. Mingyan grabbed her without any hesitation and tightened his grip.
He nearly snapped Cang Mingru's neck with his grip, pulling her face close and glaring at her with his eyes wide open.
"You are nothing but a god discarded by the times. You have no chance of fighting back against me now. If you had surrendered to my abyss, I might have thought more highly of you. But now... what are you? How dare you stand in my way!"
In an instant, Mingyan's hand pierced through Cangmingru's chest.
puff--!
Although Cang Mingru regained his divine status and returned to his divine position, his physical body still aches.
The moment the enormous hand pierced through her body, blood gushed out like a torrential downpour, splashing onto the ground and cruelly being burned away by the flames, leaving no trace.
Mingyan's hands were stained crimson with the blood of the gods, and all he needed was a single drop of the gods' essence blood.
He extracted his essence blood and coldly snorted at Cang Mingru: "Your use is limited to this."
With a flick of his hand, he slammed Cang Mingru to the ground. Cang Mingru's body rapidly disintegrated, and the disguise of the god could only reveal its original form after losing energy. The face that resembled Quan Ji by seven parts instantly transformed into a strange yet gentle and beautiful face.
This was her true face. She stared at Mingyan, her eyes filled with resentment, before fainting.
Cang Mingyou and Quan Ji simultaneously shouted in fury, "No!!!"
However, Mingyan remained unmoved. He offered Cangmingru's blood as a sacrifice, and the light of the magic array below intensified. After the Tree of Life sensed the blood from the most supreme deity, its vitality began to recover.
Mingyan smiled with satisfaction: "Just one last step, Your Majesty... Come, let's fulfill our promise."
The Elf Queen was furious, but the chains of fire were a deadly constraint on her. Her emerald green eyes were filled with flames, as if she wanted to devour Netherflame whole.
"You're dreaming—you destroyed the forest and betrayed our promise!"
Mingyan narrowed his eyes, his contemptuous teasing: "Betrayal of the agreement? I only said I could help you revive the Tree of Life, but I never said I would protect the forest for your elven race. Are you overthinking it?"
Vivian trembled all over, gritting her teeth: "Despicable and shameless!!"
However, Mingyan was too lazy to waste words with her. He grabbed her head with one hand and slammed her directly down towards the roots of the Tree of Life.
With a wave of his hand, a vast amount of life energy emanated from the Elf Queen.
The queen roared in agony, losing all composure and elegance. Her ageless body began to age rapidly, her smooth skin developing countless wrinkles, and her eyes becoming hollow.
The tree of life began to sway, the withered leaves began to regain their vitality, and the cocoons on it began to dance faster and faster.
The Dark Flame absorbed all its energy, allowing everyone to witness:
"My lord... return!"
The terrifying energy almost shook the entire Noah continent in that instant.
Countless empires began to tremble violently from earthquakes.
The Elf Queen knelt on the Tree of Life, the level nine orb in her hand losing its color.
A short while later, Mingyan squinted and noticed something very important.
"My Lord..."
The ritual for the Tree of Life is not yet complete, and the magic circle beneath it is still in operation.
In that instant, a swarm of enormous vines enveloped the Netherflame, and Vivian, having lost her power, roared with all her remaining energy:
"escape!!!"
