"Want to drink more, huh?! I'll make sure you do!"
Phantylia repelled Herta and Jing Yuan, enduring Welt Yang's pseudo-black hole and Dan Heng's water dragon...
With a grand gesture, it unleashed the skill - Profound Root Transformation.
"It's time...to end this once and for all!"
A golden sphere flew from its palm, crashing violently onto the ground. In its wake...
Massive golden roots burst forth, causing the sealed land to surge like ocean waves. The writhing tendrils resembled ferocious beasts, swiftly attacking Bochang and his group.
Such a wide-range attack was not particularly effective against Herta, Jing Yuan, Dan Heng, and Welt Yang.
It had never been used before either.
This move by Phantylia was specifically aimed at Bochang and his companions.
The sheer magnitude of this attack naturally drew the attention of March 7th and others.
Frightened, Bailu stopped drinking her cola and instantly transformed into her giant dragon form.
"Shit! Run quickly!"
Using his Invisible Hand, Bochang swiftly grabbed all the girls, leaping forcefully onto the back of the pale purple dragon.
Asta felt an intangible force wrap around her waist, lifting her uncontrollably into the air.
"Yikes!" Holding her weapon with one hand, she hastily pressed the other on her skirt to prevent any indecent exposure.
Although March 7th, Stelle, and Serval were aware of Bochang's abilities, they still let out startled exclamations simultaneously.
Their crisp cries pleased Bochang greatly.
After safely landing on the back of the colossal dragon Bailu...
Asta was about to ask something when...
The colossal dragon Bailu soared into the sky, its powerful wind pressure making it nearly impossible to speak. Opening one's mouth felt like someone jabbing at their throat.
Asta had no choice but to remain silent, her gaze fixed downward.
Below them, the area they previously occupied was now entirely covered by golden tendrils. These tendrils menacingly pursued upward, extending hundreds of meters without showing any signs of stopping, determined to capture Bochang and the others.
Seeing this, March 7th swiftly drew her bow and began firing arrows.
Asta and Bochang also joined the fray, not wanting to be outdone, as they launched attacks to fend off the relentless golden tendrils chasing behind them.
The tendrils moved incredibly fast; if left unchecked, they could potentially hinder the flight of the mighty dragon Bailu.
Asta wielded a scepter capable of emitting high-energy laser beams. Alongside Bochang and March 7th, she targeted the approaching golden tendrils, preventing them from getting too close.
Stelle and Serval's attacks had shorter ranges.
They vigilantly scanned their surroundings, ready to fend off any potential threats.
At this moment...
With Phantylia at its center, hundreds of miles within the Sealed Land were covered by golden roots, leaving no safe ground for Bochang and his companions to rest.
Phantylia's sudden onslaught caught them somewhat off guard, forcing them to constantly evade in the sky.
Bochang attempted to use the Monkey Talisman's power, but it could only deform one golden root, unable to counter all incoming attacks effectively. It seemed releasing Dragon Blast would have been more practical.
"Can't even watch a show without interruption? Phantylia is truly petty."
Bochang couldn't enjoy his cola now; in fact, he rushed so hastily earlier that he didn't even have time to grab the remaining half bottle of soda. He swiftly grabbed the girls and took flight.
The cola and cup were engulfed by the golden roots, tragically destroyed by Phantylia.
As the colossal dragon Bailu maintained high-speed flight,
Bochang had no intention of letting go of March 7th, Stelle, Serval, and Asta.
His Invisible Hands firmly gripped their slender waists to prevent them from being flung off during Bailu's abrupt maneuvers.
Although Asta wasn't entirely sure what was happening,
...her keen intellect, as the acting station director, allowed her to surmise that it must be Bochang's doing.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, she couldn't help but sense a large hand resting on her waist.
However, given the urgent situation, there was no time to dwell on such matters.
For Stelle, being held by Bochang's grip instilled a strong sense of security, and her gaze frequently fell upon his profile.
Serval and March 7th's cheeks turned slightly flushed, yet they didn't say much.
Of course...
They were unable to speak at that moment anyway.
Since these hands did not hinder their movements, everyone treated the Invisible Hands like safety belts, providing an extra layer of protection.
Bochang's feelings were also somewhat complex at that moment.
It felt like simultaneously embracing four girls, and the sensation was quite pleasant.
However, his brief distraction was interrupted by several golden tendrils suddenly attacking him.
With a swift motion, he unleashed another Dragon Blast, instantly shattering them.
This incident served as just a minor interruption, barely drawing anyone's attention.
The battle between Emanators continued unabated.
The golden Divine Monarch wielded the Crescent Moon Blade, engaging Phantylia in a fierce exchange. Nearby, Herta feigned attacks, occasionally striking down with her hammer.
These blows left Lord Ravager disoriented.
Because...
Each time, Herta aimed for its head, while Phantylia struggled to counter effectively.
Adding to the chaos, Welt Yang and Dan Heng launched surprise attacks from the side.
If not for the immense strength of Phantylia's body, forged by the power of Abundance, it likely would have been defeated much earlier.
Above, Bochang and the others evaded relentlessly, unsure how long they had been dodging.
Finally, Jing Yuan seized an opportunity and swiftly decapitated Phantylia with a single strike, bringing this heart-pounding battle to an end.
The defeated Lord Ravager's magnificent yet ethereal form rapidly dissipated, much like the false Tingyun had before.
All that remained within the sealed realm was a cluster of azure flames—the same shape illuminated by Bochang's super flashlight earlier.
The burning azure flames hovered eerily suspended in mid-air.
Phantylia's voice echoed, saying, "Indeed, I was careless this time. I didn't expect Luofu Immortal Continent to harbor not only an Emanator but also two High Elders... You have performed admirably, however... all I've lost is merely a hastily crafted physical body..."
Compared to her previous tone as the false Tingyun, Phantylia's current voice sounded significantly deeper, embodying a mature, commanding presence.
However...
From afar, observing the fiery mass, Bochang pondered, "Is this Phantylia's true form? Does she really have a distinct gender?"
The enemy had been defeated.
As the colossal female figure dissipated, the eerie golden tendrils spreading across the sealed land vanished as well.
As the dragon Bailu flew towards Jing Yuan and his companions,
