Chapter 306: Fallen Myth
Crow looked at that woman clad in the pink-purple palace robe and said heartlessly, “I hope you can survive the World Cleansing before you die. If you can’t, I can help you do so. Otherwise, I won’t be able to obtain the World Grace after the World Cleansing.”
Just as Crow laughed maniacally and was almost non-vigilant, a red-crystal-like blood-red Law Rune floated above the Mother of Bloodbath.
A peculiar, pleasant, and eerie voice sounded.
“The Blood Law. Use blood as a blade, and use the blade to pierce through the heart.”
As the Mother of Bloodbath’s terrifying voice resounded, the desperate and furious woman clad in the pink-purple palace robe under the tree suddenly revealed surprise and sorrow on her face.
When Lin Yuan saw such emotions, his heart tightened suddenly for some reason. Although such emotions seemed complicated, the meaning was very simple. It was the surprise of seeing her friend and the grief of her imminent fall.
At the same time, Crow’s miserable scream rang out in the air. This scream was unusually mournful as if it had endured some great pain. Crow’s body seemed to suddenly wrinkle up, and the location of its heart looked abnormally swollen.
At that moment, the Mother of Bloodbath’s peculiar yet pleasant voice sounded again.
“The Blood Law. The heart and blood are as one with the blade, and myriad blades will repel and dissolve!”
Crow’s wrinkled human body trembled violently. It was as if something would break out of its body at any moment.
The Mother of Bloodbath’s Blood Law Rune’s power and energy completely displayed itself without a trace of restraint.
When Crow sensed the Blood Law Rune’s energy, its expression instantly became complicated. Anger and resentment filled its mind.
It now only wanted to attack the Mother of Bloodbath with all its might and kill it.
The woman clad in the pink-purple palace robe did not bother with the World Cleansing that was pouring down from the sky. Instead, she chose to take back her pink-purple petal-like Law Rune.
A kind, compa.s.sionate, and gentle voice suddenly sounded.
“The Enlightenment Law. Seal the emotions and stop the mind.”
Immediately after that, the hydrangeas made up of pink and purple flowers all fell from the tree. A rain of flowers splashed as they fell to the ground. Each petal was like a chaotic blade that could cut through the red dust.
When this sudden rain of flowers landed on that woman clad in the pink-purple palace robe while she said ‘stop the mind’, it instantly landed on Crow.
This chaotic rain of red flowers acted as the blade to cut up Crow’s skin. Then, the ink-colored blood from Crow’s body shot out of the hole cut by the blades. This blood also carried a jelly-like substance that had been churned up. Its heart should have burst due to the blood.
However, when the ink-colored blood gushed out, Crow had recovered its mind that had been frozen. But it did not immediately resist. It looked livid instead.
Crow knew that it could not hold on any longer. As a pinnacle Suzerain/Myth II fey, Crow could clearly sense how crippled it was and its lifeforce loss. However, what Crow really cared about was not this.
At that moment, all Crow could think of was that it had yet to get the sacred source item in the sea. Even if it knew that it was about to die, the sense of fear still crept up in its heart.
Crow turned from its human form into a black bird less than the size of Lin Yuan’s forearm. It was no different from ordinary crows. However, its fur was darker, as if it could melt into the night at any time.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check this dead pinnacle Suzerain/Myth II crow’s corpse. He realized that this crow fey’s name was actually Night Calamity Crow.
This was Lin Yuan’s first time seeing the fall of a Suzerain/Myth Breed fey. Everything had happened in a flash, and the fall of this crow was because the Mother of Bloodbath had unexpectedly a.s.sa.s.sinated it.
More importantly, the Suzerain/Myth III plant fey that was going to break through had suddenly made a move.
Otherwise, Lin Yuan could also see that given the sudden attack of a power offense-type fey like the Mother of Bloodbath, even in the case of a sneak attack, although the Night Calamity Crow had directly suffered serious injuries, it was not enough to kill it.
A pinnacle Suzerain/Myth II fey had fallen at this moment.
But at that moment, the wave-like brownish-red karmic fire under the World Cleansing burned the Suzerain/Myth Breed plant fey’s body.
Since the woman clad in the pink-purple palace robe had taken back the Willpower Rune, she was currently unable to resist this World Cleansing.
The tree branches visibly turned from green into the color of withered and yellow.
The Mother of Bloodbath hurriedly transformed into its human form and went forward. It picked up the tree core beside the Night Calamity Crow’s corpse and threw it to the woman clad in the pink-purple palace robe. “Sister Xia, quickly fuse the tree core. I’ll help you resist this World Cleansing.”
That woman looked at the Mother of Bloodbath, with only joy and calmness on her face.
“I thought I would be able to leave the Endless Forest to look for you after I broke through to Myth III, but I never thought such a change would happen. Even if I can’t leave this forest, I still met you eventually.”
A sparkling mist gushed out of the Mother of Bloodbath’s red eyes.
It was as if it had seen a weak spider and a young sapling clinging to each other for countless years to survive.
The sapling provided a hiding place to the spider and shaded it from the heat, while the spider helped the sapling expel the leaf-eating pests from its body.
That young spider and the young sapling supported each other like this. Until one day, the two reached Bronze, Silver, Gold...
Finally, they became Myth Breeds.
The Mother of Bloodbath had experienced its first World Cleansing when it had been promoted to a Myth Breed, and the Moon Empress had saved it and helped it break through to Myth I.
In order to repay the favor, it should have probably only stayed in the Endless Forest or had long turned into a wisp of smoke under the World Cleansing.
The woman clad in the pink-purple palace robe ignored the World Cleansing that was burning her body.
More than half of the l.u.s.trous leaves and branches had withered in the blazing karmic fire, and even the branches had been burnt, broken, and fallen to the ground.
Even if the fallen branches looked lifeless, after the withered leaves and short branches landed on the ground, all the other ordinary feys on the ground madly grew around the withered branches.
When her tree core had been dug away, the woman in the palace robe knew that she could not survive this Myth III World Cleansing.
