The blue sky of Outer Mount Kunyu was replaced by a different view. Looking into the distance, black voids from elemental explosions scattered between the sky and the ground. The wild chaotic energy lingered in a place messily covered in the debris from the tree.
The space was on the verge of collapsing. It had severely twisted from the overwhelming energy present. The berserk energy had created a chaotic storm, aiming to bring utter destruction upon the place!
The vast sea of grass was currently covered in holes, ravines, and pits. The sacred tree was in ruins, too. It was no longer magnificent and spectacular!
”I...I've let many people down, but most importantly, I've let you down. If I can still do something for you and the others. I'll use everything I have to destroy this devil!” Yan Shi's hair was falling off, a sign that her life had reached its end, that she had used up all the energy of her soul.
The Moon Moth Phoenix beat her wings and caught Yan Shi, who was falling along with the broken branches in the air. The demon tree still had not given up on murdering the old woman, even in her final moments. Roots wriggling like maggots rose into the air, aiming to suck all the life force from the Moon Moth Phoenix.
If it could acquire the energy of a Totem Beast, it could easily recover in ten years. Outer Mount Kunyu was no longer suitable for it. It had decided to move somewhere else. It was difficult for a plant-type demon creature like it to migrate, but anything was better than being annihilated by the humans eventually!
The demon tree knew there was a human who was strong enough to kill a Totem Beast in Yantai a long time ago. It initially thought the human had already passed away, since they normally had a short lifespan. To its surprise, she was still alive, and had managed to learn its secret!
When a human who could be considered a half- Forbidden Mage tried to take something down with her, even a demon tree that had lived for a thousand years or more could not remain unscathed. The Giant Purple Sacred Linden had suffered serious damage. Four of its main trunks had collapsed before it managed to inflict serious injuries on her. However, the Moon Moth Phoenix showed up just as the human was about to die!

The Moon Moth Phoenix flew across the cloudy sky and headed toward the exit of the valley.
She had helped Yan Shi destroy the fourth trunk of the Giant Purple Sacred Linden, but she too had reached her limit...
The Moon Moth Phoenix used all her strength to escape with Yan Shi. Even though they had a chance to kill the devil by taking out the last trunk, even though they were unwilling to accept the outcome, they had no choice but to admit that they had passed their prime.
The sky eventually cleared up ahead. The valley filled with blood and corpses faded into the distance. The Moon Moth Phoenix was able to locate Mo Fan and the others by following Yu Shishi's presence...

”It's the Moon Moth Phoenix!” Lingling pointed into the sky.
Yu Shishi looked up and saw the Moon Moth Phoenix now covered in wounds. She was so feeble that it felt like she was about to collapse in any second.
Mo Fan quickly took out his medicine, but it was no use. The injuries inflicted by the demon tree were incurable. Besides, Yan Shi had reached already the brink of death. Healing her physical injuries would not make any difference.
”Grandma...” Chen Yi's eyes reddened. Seeing Yan Shi like this reminded Chen Yi of her mother.
