As a super-tier Void Plant, the Puppet Mother Tree's bio-energy field had long since merged with its body.
Yet even so, that single strike had reduced its Defense Strength by fifteen percent!
Right from the start, Wang Dong had unleashed "Interminable Barrage."
For one thing, this trait had an actual Buffer Time of only one hour. The sooner it was used, the sooner its cooldown began, and it could also serve as a regular attack.
For another, stacking negative effects on the enemy as quickly as possible at the outset was the most cost-effective choice.
After being weakened by three consecutive Pure White Beams, the Puppet Mother Tree's once incredibly tough outer bark suddenly seemed much less so!
This was evident in the two follow-up shots from the Sky Peng Horizontal.
Immediately after the three Pure White Beams came a wave of pale cyan light.
It was a wide-area attack from the "Four Symbols Origin Crystal." With Shi Zunhou and Wu Baiyi coordinating their firing angles and aim with perfect understanding, the pale cyan wave—which had a range of five hundred light-seconds—covered the entire Puppet Mother Tree!
The situation was different from their previous encounter.
For one thing, the Four Symbols Origin Crystal had undergone another round of enhancements, nearly doubling its Attack Strength.
For another, the Puppet Mother Tree had just suffered a fifteen-percent reduction in Defense Strength.
The two factors worked together.
This pale cyan wave was a full tier more powerful than it had been during their first clash!
Wherever the pale cyan wave spread,
the Puppet Mother Tree's outer bark was devoured in huge chunks by annihilation reactions!
By the time the pale cyan wave dissipated, the Puppet Mother Tree's surface was riddled with pits!
They were still some way from breaking through its outer layer.
