The Tragic Zhunti's Mentality Collapsed

Zhunti, enraged, not only condensed its golden body but also burned its vital essence to strengthen it, charging directly at Dijiang.

Dijiang was not to be outdone. It activated its Ancestor Witch true form and clashed head-on with Zhunti. The two colossal beings then began a brutal fistfight, exchanging blow for blow.

Zhunti's true form was a Bodhi Tree, protected by the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. Although it was sent flying, it sustained no real damage. As it fell to the ground, it suddenly transformed the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree into its main body, with countless roots erupting from the earth to entangle Dijiang's ankles.

Immediately after, Zhunti stood up again, its massive golden body shaking as it charged at Dijiang to launch another attack.

Dijiang's strength was indeed formidable. Even with the protection of the seven-colored divine light, Zhunti felt it could barely withstand the onslaught, which spoke volumes about Dijiang's terrifying physical prowess.

However, at this moment, Zhunti had prepared for the worst. It used all its Magic Treasures and strength to attack Dijiang frantically, finally striking Dijiang's head in mid-air.

"Roar!" Dijiang roared in pain, and Zhunti felt a surge of satisfaction.

But then, Zhunti's expression changed drastically. It realized something was wrong. Dijiang was completely unharmed after being hit in the head, and the acquired Magic Treasures Zhunti had just used were shattered by its skull. This was another blow to the already impoverished West.

After beating Zhunti for a while, a thought flashed through Dijiang's mind. It muttered, "The Way of Space, sealing comes first, then what? Why is there no 'then what'?" Its expression was as unhappy as if it had found an incomplete book.

Bo Huang said, "You're still calling yourself an elder brother, and you've comprehended less than Zhu Rong. Just give up already."

Hearing this, Dijiang's face flushed with embarrassment. "Then tell me, what stance should I use to fight him next?"

Bo Huang replied, "Fighting him now won't do any good. Rest for a while. You initially used spatial power to immobilize him, preventing his Dao principles from being stimulated. You need to get his blood flowing, meaning, be ruthless. I suggest Gou Mang or Ru Shou would be more suitable for the next round."

Gou Mang laughed heartily, "Then I'll go first? How should I fight?"

Bo Huang asked, "Gou Mang, the Wood Ancestor Witch, if I recall correctly?"

Gou Mang laughed loudly, "That's right, absolutely right. How should I fight him?"

Bo Huang inquired, "The Law of Wood doesn't necessarily have to be about fostering growth, right?"

Gou Mang nodded and said, "I understand." With that, Gou Mang directly reversed the process of fostering growth with the Law of Wood, forcefully drawing out Zhunti's Bodhi Tree origin.

However, Zhunti was, after all, a powerful cultivator. Extracting its origin was no easy feat. Thus, both sides became locked in a struggle.

At this moment, a few phrases flashed through Gou Mang's mind. It murmured, "All things grow, blend and become one with the dust." Ah, so this was the Way of Wood?

Then, Gou Mang suddenly sat down in meditation, truly breaking through. Dijiang looked at Gou Mang, who had fallen into a state of enlightenment, and felt utterly dejected. "Why did Gou Mang get enlightened? Prince Bo Huang, you're not holding anything back, are you?"

Bo Huang looked bewildered. "If I were truly holding back, none of you would be able to break through. Ancestor Witch Dijiang, could it be that Ancestor Witch Gou Mang is smarter than you?"

Dijiang shook its head. "Impossible, absolutely impossible. It must be because I initially immobilized Zhunti. Ru Shou, you fight Zhunti for a while longer. I want to see if you can break through?"

Zhunti became anxious. "Can't you let me rest for a bit? You're all taking turns beating me up without even asking for my opinion?"

Ru Shou retorted, "Do I need to consult you before beating you? I'm sorry, but this Ancestor Witch doesn't have such polite habits."

At this point, Bo Huang called out, "No, let him rest. If he keeps getting beaten, he'll become numb and won't feel pain. When I beat him last time, I had an epiphany. When Senior Uncle Master beat him, he had an epiphany. When my Second Uncle beat him, he didn't have any epiphany because my Second Uncle was the third to attack, and by then, he was already numb from the beating."

Dijiang angrily said, "Zhunti, you're quite the handful. You got numb from being beaten? Bo Huang, are there any other ways?"

Bo Huang chuckled, "You can beat him as much as you want for half an hour. It'll help Zhunti get its blood flowing."

Xuanming chuckled, "^O^, leave this task to me. I'll beat him up for a while. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll loosen him up."

Bo Huang nodded. "It would be best to rip off an arm or a leg from its true form. As for the branches of the Bodhi Tree, I can't speak for others, but the physical bodies of the Wood Ancestor Witch Gou Mang, the Metal Ancestor Witch Ru Shou, and the Wind Ancestor Witch Tian Wu could be significantly enhanced."

Zhu Jiuyin laughed, "So that's how it is? Sister Xuanming, rip off an arm for me. Prince Bo Huang, later tell us how to eat this thing."

Bo Huang explained, "Oh, if nothing unexpected happens, when it's ripped off, it will revert to its true form. Give me the leaves of its true form, and I'll make tea back home. Gou Mang, Xuanming, and Houtu can eat the heartwood inside, and the other Ancestor Witches can gnaw on the bark."

Dijiang asked doubtfully, "Will gnawing on the bark be effective? Besides, is there enough bark for all of us? And it doesn't taste good either."

Bo Huang roared with laughter, "How can it not taste good? Let me tell you, Zhunti's skin is very thick, there's definitely enough to go around. It's an innate spiritual root, the taste won't be bad!"

After a while, Xuanming, despite her best efforts, couldn't even rip off an arm. She shouted, "Are you all just going to watch me struggle? Aren't you going to help? Hold him down so I can rip off an arm!"
