As Meng Chao swung Skull Crusher, trying to cleave the Mandala Tree blocking his path in two with a single blow,
he discovered that this genetically modified mutant plant not only possessed bark tougher than the composite armor of a Main Battle Tank,
but was also filled inside with a viscous, dense fluid-like toughness that could devour all force.
Even with the power of a breakthrough God Realm Expert, combined with the Spirit Magnetic Material's ability to change shape at will, turning Skull Crusher into a roaring chainsaw, he still had to exert considerable effort before cutting the Mandala Tree before him in two.
The severed Mandala Tree let out an ear-splitting shriek.
Not to mention ordinary people—even Transcendents or orc warriors with shallow cultivation would grow dizzy and faintly nauseated upon hearing this screech, more unbearable than metal scraping against glass.
Inside the Mandala Tree's severed cross-section, Meng Chao saw a large number of transport conduits formed from nanostructures.
The conduits were clearly thicker in diameter than the vascular fibers of ordinary plants.
It was as though countless blood vessels and nerves had been wrapped within the bark.
At that moment, large quantities of fluorescent, viscous fluid flowed from the severed "blood vessels" and "nerves."
Meng Chao used the tip of Skull Crusher to lift a droplet of the fluorescent viscous fluid, carefully sensing its composition.
He discovered that the liquid contained exceptionally rich and active Spiritual Energy, comparable to the Gene Serum painstakingly formulated by Dragon City's Cutting-Edge Biochemical Laboratory. Without further refinement, it could serve as fuel to send a Train Cannon or Armored Airship rumbling forward.
"It seems these Mandala Trees are Original Mother's nutrient transport conduits. They are rooted deep underground, specifically drawing highly pure Spiritual Energy from the spirit veins, allowing Original Mother to
