Good grief, the adaptability of this parasitic beast is actually this powerful?!
Qimeng casually waved her hand and said, “Fine~ Go ahead and do it! However, this lord has only one principle.
No matter how much trouble you cause, even if you turn the Black Bone Territory upside down, you are not allowed to expose my Tree Court home! And you absolutely must not let anyone with ulterior motives keep targeting the Wood Elves!
If things really get exposed and reach an irreversible point... you would rather commit suicide than leak even a shred of information about me!”
“Yes! Baikui will keep this in mind! I will never fail Master's expectations!”
Baikui knelt on one knee and kowtowed deeply.
“Alright, clean yourself up quickly and head back to your Black Bone camp to put on your show.”
“As you command, Master.”
Baikui put away the magic fruit, tidied up his torn brocade robe and appearance, and then walked quickly toward the forest to lead the way.
Qimeng maintained her disguise as a Dark Tree Demon and leisurely followed behind.
After all, not claiming the bounty after obtaining the proof would look highly suspicious in itself. Only by protecting Yinzhi and the Wood Elves could she ensure the secrecy of the Tree Court territory!
Hmm... Come to think of it.
Having been cooped up in the Tree Court territory for so long, it was a rare treat to run into such an exciting internal struggle among the demon nobility. Going to the Black Bone camp to leech some rewards, claim a noble title, and take a stroll to clear her mind—wasn't that wonderful?
Although Qimeng's Tree Court roots in the north hadn't yet extended all the way to connect with the Flourishing Forest,
this time, with over five hundred Advanced Black Magic Stones in her pocket, her confidence was through the roof!
Even back when she was human, she had never set foot in this area known as the core of the Great Black Magic Forest.
It was said that only world-renowned adventurer parties dared to venture deep into this paradise of magical beasts.
A rich mana flowed through the air here, vast and boundless.
The resources were incredibly abundant!
However, as a primeval forest that had existed since the era of creation, its interior had only been ten to twenty percent developed by intelligent races to this day.
But just as Qimeng stepped into the territory of the Flourishing Forest,
Weng!!
the mana inside her body suddenly began to boil like dry wood catching fire!
“Wait a moment! Baikui!”
Qimeng stopped in her tracks and grabbed the shoulder of the parasitic Demon Prince in front of her.
Baikui's deep green eyes flickered with vigilance.
“As you command, Master... Is there some unforeseen event?”
“No, guard me from the side! I'm about to break through!!”
“Eh...?”
A trace of blankness washed over Baikui's stiff face.
Breaking through?
In this kind of woodland where fierce magical beasts could appear at any moment?
So suddenly?!
However, Qimeng could no longer care about any of that!
The barrier that had been stuck at the High-tier Advanced base level was automatically pried open upon coming into contact with the boundless mana of the Flourishing Forest!
Breaking through to the Extraordinary Rank was a leap in the essence of life, a ritual to cleanse all impurities from the body and temper the flesh into a transcendent vessel!
Back in the Genesis Forest, because mana was too scarce, attempting to impact a higher rank had caused her to suffer unbearable, intense pain.
But now,
the ocean-like, endless mana of the Flourishing Forest became her best nourishment!
Boom!!
A terrifying mana storm exploded outward in all directions, centered on Qimeng!
A vast amount of life source energy shot up like a pillar of emerald light, piercing straight into the clouds!
For a moment, the wild winds within dozens of miles came to a sudden halt, and trees began to rapidly grow!
As this life force spread outward, greedy roars echoed from all corners of the forest!
Those were the magical beasts driven by instinct!
Life source energy was an irresistible delicacy to any living creature!
“Roar!!”
Several High-tier Advanced giant beasts trampled the trees and charged over, their eyes crimson, yet they did not forget to fixate on the center of the light pillar!
Baikui drew his saber and stood in front of Qimeng, the mana around his body surging.
“Those who block... Master... shall die!”
But before those fierce beasts could even pounce close,
“Get lost, don't disturb me.”
A cold, clear voice rang out from the center of the storm.
Qimeng opened her eyes.
Boom!!
At that instant, a pressure aura like a tsunami swept outward!
Under this rank-breaking pressure, the few magical beasts charging at the front collapsed to the ground, their internal organs and bones crushed to pieces!
Qimeng exuded beauty and majesty from head to toe.
Her youthful figure looked as if it had been perfectly sculpted by a master craftsman.
Her skin was lustrous and flawless, and her lines were elegant, yet she possessed an explosive power capable of tearing anything apart with her bare hands!
She was no longer a hollow shell of a girl who would become fragile upon leaving the Root Domain, but a true transcendent body!
With a pinch of her slender fingers, the surrounding space let out a low hum, unable to withstand the heavy pressure!
And the most stunning part was her pair of emerald green eyes that lit up once more.
Clear and deep, they exuded an exquisite beauty that had been cleansed of all evil.
It was different from the cold holy light found in churches; it was a sense of divinity that transcended ordinary magical beasts!
Meanwhile, in the distant Tree Court territory,
Rumble!!
the main body of the Demon Tree kicked up a sky full of emerald brilliance!
The hundred-meter-tall tree trunk rose from the ground, soaring to several hundred meters in height!
Natural runes crawled all over the pure white, jade-like trunk, and the branches and leaves breathed in and out majestic natural mana, painting the Tree Court as if a miracle had descended!
The dual-body transformation was completely finished!
【Extraordinary Rank Breakthrough Successful】 x2
“Phew... This feeling is truly amazing~”
Qimeng moved her fair wrists and casually changed back to her disguised appearance, concealing that overly stunning aura.
But when she looked up, she found a ground full of terrified Advanced Rank magical beasts lying before her, as well as... Baikui, who was standing stiffly at attention while holding his saber.
Qimeng burst into laughter.
She light-footedly leapt directly onto a treetop, dispersing the onlookers of Advanced Rank magical beasts with a single glance, and then stretched her arms.
“Hey~ Baikui, what's with that expression? The eyes of your parasitic body are about to fall out.”
Baikui sheathed his saber and blinked mechanically.
“Master's power... Baikui cannot comprehend it. Just now, I felt... my entire body trembling.”
“Hmph, of course! This lord is an absolute genius!”
Qimeng tilted her face up, in an extremely good mood.
Not only had her physical body undergone a complete transformation, but this breakthrough had also allowed her to comprehend two powerful Extraordinary Rank abilities!
【Humanoid Form: All-Things Deconstruction - Corrosion Imprint】
An Extraordinary Rank combat and array-breaking divine skill!
Once activated, her beautiful eyes could see through the weaknesses of the mana flow nodes in any object.
With just a light tap of her finger, she could plant a Corrosion Imprint inside an enemy's body or an array, triggering a collapse and disintegration from the inside out!
【Tree Form: Domain Descent - Emerald Forest Realm】
An Extraordinary Rank domain-type skill!
With the main body of the Demon Tree as the source, she could summon the Tree Court territory into a different location!
Within the coverage of the Forest Realm, all magical plants would obey her commands, and Qimeng along with her units would receive a massive, comprehensive buff and self-healing effect!
“All-Things Deconstruction plus domain summoning... What a cool and practical set of skills!
Alright! The guard duty was well done~”
Qimeng pointed toward the forest path ahead.
“Let's go, Lord Demon Prince! Take this lord to your Black Bone camp for a good look!”
“Yes.”
