Chapter 186: Chapter 169: Metamorphosis into the Second Form (2)

BOOM!

A muffled explosion echoed as flames, like a divine spear, pierced through the massive head’s ears, carving out a gaping hole twenty meters in diameter.

But Breaking the Sky showed no sign of pain. Cold and merciless, it had taken the blast for Jiya. It tilted its head back to look up at Wang Yi.

Beside Wang Yi, Wang Bushi revived out of the void and launched another diving headbutt, shooting downward like a cannonball.

In that brief moment, the flower bud finally bloomed. It was a massive, nine-petaled, pale red flower resembling a lotus, and it emanated a misty starlight.

At its center was something like a Wood Knot, or perhaps a strange fruit. It throbbed like a heart, wreathed in the misty starlight!

Jiya’s voice emanated from the Wood Knot. "By my Will, tear the fabric of the ecosystem and force open an Eco-Teleportation gate! Golden Thorn King, Pomegranate Eye King, Spirit-Transformed Wood Knots, Eco-Elites—come and protect me! Aid my transformation!"

At her command, the King Earth Deity, Breaking the Sky, let out a piercing shriek. Its enormous head suddenly shriveled, but it remained a loyal guardian, swallowing the incoming Wang Bushi in a single gulp.

BOOM! Breaking the Sky’s massive head was once again pierced from the inside out by a Flame Spear. This time, it seemed to have sustained a grievous wound. It sank limply into the lake, and the water immediately began to boil!

"World Announcement: The King Incarnations Golden Thorn King and Pomegranate Eye King have entered the battle! An army of Eco-Wood Knots has force-teleported to join the fray!"

After the world announcement, Wang Yi saw vast numbers of plant-like monsters surging out of the lake below. More seemed to be teleporting in, instantly transforming the lake into a jungle of monsters.

"Tearing the ecosystem to force a teleportation..."

Inside one of the Towers of Suffering, Bai Xianyi said, "Jiya is a ruthless one, all right. She’s forcibly borrowing the ability of the King, Breaking the Sky, to summon an eco-army! This is an open gambit. If Sun Wukong doesn’t attack, she’ll complete her transformation without a hitch. But if he attacks, the released Eco-Power will feed back into Jiya, making her transform even faster! The cost must be immense, though. Tearing the ecosystem throws the world out of balance. Its Evolution will be interrupted, possibly even reversed. As the Eco-Dominator, she’s bound to be severely affected!"

Xue Shentian added, "Even if she successfully transforms into her second form, so what?"

Li Mingli chimed in, "I refuse to believe her second form can stop Sun Wukong. He can destroy this whole world; wiping out a single ecosystem should be easy for him!"

"Then we’ll just have to see what other tricks Sun Wukong has up his sleeve!"

Bai Xianyi frowned, his feelings complicated. If Sun Wukong defeated Jiya, the world instance would be cleared. This Chaos Secret Realm would close, and everyone would have to return. They would undoubtedly lose out on many opportunities.

’This Chaos Secret Realm was supposed to last for ten years! The world’s story is complex, with Survivors, Refugees, Descenders, Sufferers, and Abyss Gazers. So many places haven’t been explored yet; it shouldn’t be cleared this early. Sun Wukong is just flipping the table so no one gets to eat! Jiya, you have to pull through!’

Bai Xianyi thought to himself. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

At that moment, a pale blue, misty light suddenly materialized around Wang Yi.

The misty light was Mountain and River True Qi—not one stream, but six!

"Firepower is truth!"

Wang Yi spoke in a low voice, simultaneously thrusting his hand downward. At his gesture, the streams of Mountain and River True Qi shot like sharp arrows into the lake below, merging with the six Spiritual Blades.

"Mountain and River—Disintegrate! Six Rivers—Ascend! Rise!"

As Wang Yi shouted, the six Spiritual Blades stopped gushing water. Instead, they shattered instantly, reverting to their true forms as rivers, which then soared into the sky like six water dragons.

Everything happened in a flash. The newly formed lake dried up in a matter of breaths. Beneath the Ten Thousand Celestial Soldiers, six rivers now floated in the air, coiling and weaving like soaring drakes.

Down in the massive crater, the King Earth Deity Breaking the Sky’s Eco-Teleportation was clearly visible. Its four thick vines writhed, seeming to draw power from some unknown place. One after another, eco-monsters sprouted rapidly around it, their numbers swelling like a forest of monsters growing at a frenzied pace.

The Golden Thorn King and the Pomegranate Eye King were the most conspicuous among them. One resembled a giant lizard, the other a massive toad. They stood guard around the Starlight Vine, blocking Wang Bushi’s deadly bombardments.

’Since the Ten Thousand Bolts of Celestial Thunder can’t harm Jiya anymore, let’s see how she handles my Power of Breaking Water!’

With a mere thought from Wang Yi, the six great floating rivers plunged downward. Like six water dragons, they crashed into the monster forest, sweeping up the creatures and linking them together in the torrents.

"Detonate!"

With another shout from Wang Yi, the six dragon-like rivers of water detonated simultaneously.

This was no ordinary explosion. It was the Power of Breaking Water—a catastrophic release of energy that utterly destroyed the six rivers themselves. The blast instantly tore through the ever-expanding monster forest, blowing it to kingdom come.

Innumerable fragments and severed limbs flew through the air. The crater in the ground deepened and widened. In an instant, the monster forest had become a monster graveyard.

"World Announcement: The King Incarnation, Golden Thorn King, has been slain. Its Eco-Power will be offered as a sacrifice to Jiya, aiding her transformation."

"World Announcement: The King Incarnation, Pomegranate Eye King, has been slain. Its Eco-Power will be offered as a sacrifice to Jiya, aiding her transformation."

After the world announcements faded, the only eco-monster left on the ground was Breaking the Sky. All of its rooted vines had been severed in the blast, leaving only a ruined, massive head lying on the ground. The Eco-Teleportation had clearly been forcibly shut down.

The Starlight Vine had also been destroyed, leaving only the giant Wood Knot, still shrouded in its misty starlight.

The Wood Knot throbbed like a heart. Cracks began to snake slowly across its surface, as if something were about to hatch from within.

Breaking the Sky’s massive head suddenly swallowed it whole. Then, as if deflating, it instantly shriveled and once again initiated an Eco-Teleportation.
