Those towering ancient vines, as thick as water vats and imbued with the ultimate Wood-type Origin, came to an abrupt halt upon touching the ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ black halo. Immediately after, the green radiance was forcibly tainted by the black, and the thick vines began to blacken and weather over a large area.

"Rumble—"

The advantage of the Wood-type Origin lies in its endless, savage vitality.

Fragments of the shattered ancient vines fell to the ground, viscous green sap spraying from their broken ends, while deformed granulation buds sprouted from the wood chips, writhing frantically.

"Roar—!"

Amidst the beastly roars, the fragments gathered under the influence of the Law, twisting and reorganizing.

Within a few breaths, the severed vines, catalyzed by the Life Origin, transformed into dozens of deformed wood beasts, each a hundred meters tall.

The wood beasts had hollow, wooden eyes, and their torsos were formed from tangled vines, leaving a trail of corrosion on the ground with every step. They opened their giant mouths, which were filled with wooden thorns, and emitted sharp sonic waves as they charged toward Mr. Duan.

As the deformed monsters writhed, the air in the ruin world became viscous.

Whoosh—! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Pale green mist spewed from the deformed giant beasts, filling an area of several kilometers.

Wherever the toxic mist passed, the black stone ground hissed as it dissolved, turning into pools of dark green acid.

Facing the deadly toxic mist capable of melting a max-level Professionals into bones, Mr. Duan did not even lift his cane. He watched the sky-filling green mist roaring toward him, revealing a faint, disdainful smile.

"Hehe..."

A gentle, refined chuckle rang out within the toxic mist.

"Chun, after so many years, you still like to use these low-class tricks."

Mr. Duan pulled his black top hat down, covering his eyes: "Have you forgotten that in the face of absolute Transcendent Law, the numerical judgments of the current world are nothing but a pile of meaningless garbled code? Your toxins became completely ineffective the moment I reshaped my Physical Body."

As he spoke, Mr. Duan's plummeting health bar was forcibly locked at its maximum value.

When the pale green toxic mist approached within three feet of his body, it was blocked by an invisible high-dimensional barrier, unable to corrode even a fraction of his clothing.

"How is this possible?!"

From the Void Realm, came Chun's uncomposed, sharp shout: "You actually dared to completely ignore my Wood Origin toxin?! This is absolutely impossible!"

"In this world, nothing is impossible, unless your vision is still stuck in the past."

Mr. Duan's voice was cold, revealing impatience.

"Since you like playing with fire, then I shall use a toy I took from Chaidamen to play with you properly."

Mr. Duan raised his left hand and gripped the air in the Void Realm.

Boom—!!!

Golden flames danced from his fingertips.

With the appearance of the golden flames, the temperature of the underground world soared by thousands of degrees. The towering ancient trees all around skipped the burning process and carbonized into black ash under the high-temperature radiation.

Chaidamen, a descendant of the Fire God.

Not long ago, Mr. Duan had just devoured all of his Fire-type Origin, and at this moment, this power had been perfectly analyzed within his high-dimensional godhead, transforming into an even more destructive ultimate skill.

"【Great Sun Golden Crow Catastrophe Fire】."

Mr. Duan spat out the words flatly, and then, his five fingers suddenly opened!

Rumble—!!!

The wisp of golden flame expanded ten million times in an instant, turning into a giant golden firebird cloaked in flames. It let out a cry that pierced the Soul, and fiercely crashed into the pack of deformed wood beasts that were pouncing over!

The golden firebird exploded amidst the wood beast pack, turning into a sea of golden flames that swept across the sky!

"Aaaaaah—!!"

Miserable shrieks echoed through the ruins. Those dozens of deformed wood beasts, which seemed incomparably powerful and possessed terrifying life regeneration speed, were as fragile as dry straw in front of the golden flames.

The Life Origin within their bodies didn't even have time to take effect before being forcibly vaporized by the overbearing golden flames.

The golden flames followed the remains of the wood beasts, spreading frantically in all directions like a prairie fire. In the blink of an eye, the underground ruin world, once lush and full of vitality, was swallowed by these high-dimensional flames and completely turned into a sea of fire!

Heatwaves rolled, and even the spatial barriers at the edge of the ruins showed signs of disintegration and peeling under the roasting of this high temperature.

"Duan—!!"

From deep within the ruins, a sharp, angry rebuke from Chun finally came. In that voice, there was a hint of gnashing hatred, as well as a cold snort of being forced to use a trump card.

"This is my world, I will not allow you to run wild here!"

Rumble—!!!

As Chun's voice fell, the vast, sparkling lake in the very center of the ruins completely boiled at this moment!

Countless azure water currents surged into the sky from the lake like a cataclysm. Each water current was a hundred meters thick, containing extremely pure Life Law and icy Qi.

These water currents intertwined and overlapped in mid-air, transforming into a gigantic azure canopy, like a shield standing between heaven and earth, firmly isolating the sky-filling sea of golden flames.

The golden flames and the azure water currents collided violently in mid-air!

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss hiss—!!!"

Two Law powers, both standing at the Peak of this world, refused to yield, frantically colliding and devouring each other.

The golden flames wanted to burn through the water canopy, while the water canopy desperately wanted to extinguish the flames. Because the energy of this collision was simply too vast, a thick, substantial white steam that blotted out the sky was instantly generated at the junction of the collision!

The steam spread in all directions at an astonishing speed, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire sea of fire for dozens of kilometers around.

However, something strange happened.

Underneath these billowing white mists, the golden high-dimensional flames that were originally incomparably violent and could even burn through space, the moment they were touched by the mist, seemed to lose all their fuel and, extremely abruptly—

Silently extinguished.

There was no explosion, no struggle; the brilliant golden sea of fire, under the shroud of white mist, simply dissolved like a reflection in a mirror, turning into nothingness.

"Hmm?"

Mr. Duan, who was amidst the sky-filling steam, narrowed his eyes slightly.

He withdrew his left hand and looked at the wisp of golden flame at his fingertips that was being forcibly suppressed by the white mist, even showing faint signs of extinguishing. A flash of undisguised surprise and sharp light passed through his eyes.

"This power..."

Mr. Duan raised his head, his deep eyes piercing through the thick steam, fixing on the vast lake below that was still continuously steaming with azure water currents.

At this moment, his eyes were frighteningly bright, and the smile at the corner of his mouth became increasingly playful.

"Lake of Life... No, that's not right."

Mr. Duan shook his head, his voice rarely carrying a hint of excitement and fanaticism: "That is 【Water of Origin】. Chun, I never expected that during the Great Purge of The First World back then, you actually managed to bring the power of this Lake of Origin into this era?!"
