Evolving infinitely from ground zero

"We run together!"

Li Moyu ran back, intending to pick up Ma Xiwei and flee with her.

However, before he could reach Ma Xiwei, a Bloodthirsty Demon Eagle with a wingspan of nearly ten meters zoomed past, flinging its colossal wings and shooting out feathers that filled the sky.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

"Pfft! Pfft..."

Just a series of muffled sounds emerged.

Ma Xiwei, Li Moyu, and Luo Yongjian, all three were impaled by the feathers that shot towards them, their bodies nailed to the ground, unable to move.

Blood poured out from their bodies, quickly soaking their clothes, the injuries were extremely severe.

Especially Ma Xiwei, her heart pierced through, blood uncontrollably flowing out, her face turned deathly pale, looking as though she wouldn't last much longer.

"Buzz—!"

The Bloodthirsty Demon Eagle cut through the air, swooping down at breakneck speed toward Ma Xiwei on the ground, aiming to snatch this tender-looking girl, to devour her flesh and blood.

Watching the Bloodthirsty Demon Eagle swiftly approach, Ma Xiwei resignedly closed her eyes, silently waiting for death to take her.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just as Ma Xiwei closed her eyes, the sound of something breaking through the earth reached her ears.

Following that, a series of desperate screeches filled with struggle resounded.

Not human cries.

But the cries of an eagle.

The cries of the Bloodthirsty Demon Eagle.

Ma Xiwei, puzzled, opened her eyes.

What she saw next was the nearly ten-meter-long Bloodthirsty Demon Eagle, inexplicably bound tightly by dozens of tendrils.

Immobile.

It could only open its bird's mouth and cry out desperately.

Then, the tendrils suddenly constricted, violently strangling the enormous Bloodthirsty Demon Eagle, bursting it into a rain of blood that "drip-dropped" from the sky.

Staring at the scene before her, Ma Xiwei was dumbfounded.

The vines had entrapped the Bloodthirsty Demon Eagle?

Weren't they on the same side?

What was happening?

Ma Xiwei's eyes were filled with confusion, utterly unable to make sense of what was occurring before her.

She felt her vision getting blurrier.

She felt consciousness slipping away.

She knew she was losing too much blood and wasn't going to make it.

Just as her eyelids grew heavy and were about to close, a bright red pill shot from the side, accurately into her mouth.

The pill melted as soon as it touched her tongue, quickly turning into streams of warmth that flowed into her organs, healing her injuries while replenishing her Qi-Blood.

In just a brief moment, Ma Xiwei, who was on the verge of losing consciousness, suddenly became alert.

She removed the feathers stuck in her body and stood up from the ground.

Then, to her utmost shock, she saw vines surging into the sky everywhere she looked, Exotic Beasts tangled in those vines in every direction, and heard desperate roars filling the air.

"Hm? Why is he there?"

In the center of those tendrils upfront, Ma Xiwei spotted the figure of Lin Zichen.

The vines only attacked the surrounding Exotic Beasts and didn't react to Lin Zichen at their center, which left Ma Xiwei utterly perplexed.

Just as baffled were Li Moyu and Luo Yongjian, not far off.

The three of them, by no means, could imagine that it was Lin Zichen controlling the vines.

Lin Zichen was a Pureblood Human, not a traitor of the Divine Plant Cult, so how could he control the vines?

In their understanding, such a thing was clearly impossible.

Seeing that the three were still standing there stunned, Lin Zichen calmly said to them, "What are you three dawdling for? Get out of here, and don't hinder me."

As his words ended, he concentrated his thoughts and violently tightened the vines wrapped around those Exotic Beasts.

The next second, all beasts ensnared by the vines exploded, turning into a shower of blood that fell from the sky, staining the whole land red.

"These vines are controlled by Zi Chen..."

At that moment, whether it was Li Moyu, Ma Xiwei, or Luo Yongjian, all looked utterly dumbfounded, their life's beliefs shattered, unable to believe the scene before their eyes.

Why could Lin Zichen, a Pureblood Human, manipulate vines like a traitor of the Divine Plant Cult?

Was this a dream?

Or were they hallucinating?

The three were filled with confusion and doubt, their nearly twenty years of knowledge ruthlessly shattered, unable to comprehend what was unfolding before them.

Seeing that they still weren't leaving, Lin Zichen couldn't be bothered to persuade them further. He simply concentrated his thoughts and controlled three tendrils to wrap around their waists, flinging them forcefully away.

Then he focused his thoughts once more: "Absorb!"

In an instant, a multitude of text prompt messages flashed through the void.

"Is this what killing is like?"

Lin Zichen, while looking up and bathing in the rain of Exotic Beasts' blood, watched the text prompts flashing through the void, feeling a strange sense of enjoyment.

At that moment, he felt he somewhat understood why Qi Qingmo would refine living beings at the drop of a hat.

Witnessing numerous creatures fall before him, there really was a feeling of dominating the world.

Destroy gods if they obstruct, eliminate Buddhas if they stand in the way.

Lin Zichen didn't stay immersed in this strange pleasure for long; he soon snapped back to reality, focused his thoughts, and remotely extracted the Beast Cores from the corpses all around, storing them all in his Storage Space.
