Chapter 67 · Volume 1

Stop Chasing Me, Just Let Me Finish Beating Up These Two Sandbags First!

“Turn into mincemeat, you brat!!”
“Ha! Try it if you can!”
Facing this strike that seemed capable of flipping the earth itself, Qimeng didn't dodge. Instead, a morbidly sweet smile spread across her face.
Having ignited a massive amount of secret elixirs within her body all at once, her cheeks flushed with an unhealthy crimson, and even her eyes were dyed a blood-red!
It hurt. It hurt so much!
But... it felt absolutely amazing!!
The power of nature expanding within her was on the verge of tearing her apart, and every single cell in her body was screaming in sheer excitement. If she didn't let it out, she was really going to explode!
“Thousand Thorn Spears!!”
The light spun in Qimeng's eyes. Through her pupil technique, the lightning-fast bloody storm was riddled with openings.
With a wave of her delicate hand, giant brambles gleaming with a dark-green metallic luster erupted from the ground. Hundreds of dark-green wild serpents merged into one, crashing head-on into the crimson lightning!
Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!
The two tyrannical forces of mana detonated violently in the valley!
“Damn it, how is this brat's mana so ridiculously strong?!”
“Not only is her physical strength insane, but even her magic power is like a monster's?!”
The Crimson Moon demon was thrown back in disarray, stumbling dozens of steps before finally stabilizing himself.
What drove him even crazier was that the Giant Horn demon, who had finally crawled out of the ruins covered in blood, didn't even get a chance to catch his breath before Qimeng backhanded him with a 【Myriad Wood Cage】, swatting him right back into the mud like a fly!
“No, no! There's too much... it's about to overflow! Hey, you two pieces of trash over there, can you try to be a bit more durable?!”
Qimeng laughed wildly, her eyes completely bloodshot as she unleashed a saturated bombardment of pure natural spells.
Vines filling the sky, howling giant logs, shattered roots from the earth... Single-handedly, she pinned the two high-ranking demons to the ground, thrashing them like punching bags!
“Are you kidding me?! We are noble high-ranking demons!”
“How could we ever accept this kind of humiliation? Ahhh!!”
The two demons spat blood in sheer rage.
They exchanged a glance, pulled out a handful of blood-red potions, and downed them in one gulp!
Thump! Thump!
The medicine's effects exploded, and their auras surged continuously. They actually bypassed the massive gap in strength, elevating themselves to Mid-tier Advanced demons!
“Hahaha! Do you feel it? This power! Brat, your death is—”
Pop.
However, before the Crimson Moon demon could finish his boastful declaration, a light, crisp sound echoed through the air, like a bubble popping.
Immediately after, with Qimeng at the center, the natural mana within a radius of several miles froze before turning into a massive vortex, swirling directly into her body!
Qimeng simply exhaled, and with every breath she took, she actually blew out materialized cyclones of green mana.
Under the pressure of combat, she had used these two guys as free testing stones.
Not only had she perfectly grasped the flow of Advanced Rank natural mana, but she had also naturally... broken through on the spot.
Reaching the standard of an Advanced Rank magical beast, her advancement was a success.
“Huh? What?”
The Giant Horn demon was completely dumbfounded.
“Breaking through... right in the middle of a battle?! What do you take us for?!”
The humiliation of being treated as stepping stones drove both demons mad. They unleashed their ultimate, trump card techniques!
“【Giant Horn: Sky-Rending Blast】!!”
The Giant Horn demon raised his massive hammer, which had grown to the size of a small hill. A demonized keratin layer sprouted across his skin, turning him into a hideous monster!
“【Crimson Moon: Rise of the Demonic Beasts】!!”
The Crimson Moon demon held his hands up to the heavens, and a bizarre, blood-red moon rose into the sky. In an instant, wherever the crimson moonlight touched, the magical beasts in this forest fell into a demonized state, emitting waves of foul-smelling demonic energy.
“Hahaha! Under the mental pollution of the crimson moon, turn into a puddle of mush!!”
“Oh? An 【Authority】 at the conceptual level of laws? Quite interesting.”
Facing the crimson moonlight capable of polluting the mind, Qimeng merely curled her lips.
She pulled out a 【Sober Fruit】 and popped it into her mouth. It dissolved instantly, and a wave of clarity swept away all mental pollution.
“Roar!!”
Having demonized, the Giant Horn demon's strength surged to that of a High-tier Advanced magical beast. His massive hammer crashed down like a falling meteor.
Qimeng's eyes narrowed. Following the transformation of her combat strength, a newly comprehended Advanced Rank skill gradually took shape in her mind.
“【Deceptive Garden】.”
Skipping the chant entirely, she simply snapped her fingers.
Buzz!
In an instant, the world before the Giant Horn demon's eyes overlapped, and a bewitching garden bloomed in his vision.
By altering the magnetic fields of the surrounding plants, Qimeng directly interfered with her enemy's five senses.
The aggressively charging Giant Horn demon slammed headfirst into empty space, hitting absolutely nothing! Instead, due to using too much force, he crashed to his knees with a heavy thud.
“Damn it... where are you hiding, you wretched brat?!”
Seeing the Giant Horn demon being toyed with, a flash of resolve crossed the Crimson Moon demon's eyes.
He roared, pushing the demonization within his body to the absolute limit. Losing all sanity, he transformed into a massive Crimson Moon Blood Wolf.
The sky above the valley forest was completely blanketed by an ominous, bloody red.
The army outside had likely fallen into chaos due to the appearance of the crimson moon.
“I need to wrap this up quickly...”
Just as Qimeng was preparing to use her finishing move to eliminate these two monsters, a massive earthquake suddenly erupted within her own body!
The natural energy left behind by the 【Mother Tree】 inside her was suddenly ignited, compressing and shaping itself on its own without any guidance!
Buzz.
An ethereal hymn of praise suddenly echoed between heaven and earth.
Under Qimeng's astonished gaze, countless green runes of law wove together in front of her.
Following that, the light transformed into an emerald, translucent entity, actually condensing out of thin air into a young girl radiating a surging force of life.
The girl was about half of Qimeng's size, with long, emerald-green hair and a face even more beautiful than an anime doll.
She hovered barefoot in midair, rubbing her sleepy eyes and blinking her large, adorable eyes in a daze.
This was absolutely not some rigid product of elemental magic, but a living 【Wood Spirit】!
“Huh? You're pulling this on me right now?!”
Qimeng was somewhat dumbfounded.
In front of her, two demonized Advanced Rank magical beasts were howling and lunging toward her. She simply couldn't spare a hand to deal with this Wood Spirit that had suddenly popped out.
However, this newly born little creature seemed to have her own built-in tracking system.
Blinking her large eyes, she watched Qimeng move effortlessly across the battlefield. Letting out a cheer, she floated forward and chased right after Qimeng's heels.
“Stay back! Can't you see I'm in the middle of a fight?!”
Qimeng dodged with annoyance, casually throwing out spells to blow the demons away.
But the little thing was incredibly clingy, trailing behind her and badgering her relentlessly.
In the brief window when Qimeng turned her hand to cast a spell, the little spirit seized the opportunity, lunging straight into her chest and merging right into her!
“Ah, seriously! I told you I'm busy... Wait, what is this??”
Before Qimeng could finish her complaint, an indescribable, warm sensation suddenly melted and spread from within her body!
