Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2296  Destroying The Chimera Plant

The sickle in Crown Princess Shang's hand trembled in excitement, as if it couldn't hold itself back.

"Time to cut the weeds!" Crown Princess Shang said as she burst forth.

~SHING~

She swung the Weed Purging Sickle across the Parasitic Immortal Curcurbita vines, cutting them all in one go.

This confused the others though, as they didn't know why she cut the plant she had grown in the first place. But in the next second, their doubt was clarified.

~SHA~ SHA~SHA~SHA~

As if a strong herbicide had been applied, all the vines of the Parasitic Immortal Curcurbita started to dry and crumble into dust. This spread from the part where Crown Princess Shang had cut them, and went along them until it finally reached the roots!

That was where the true effect of the Crown Princess's skill was revealed.

~FUUUSH~FUUUSH~FUUUSH~

Fiery jets burst forth from the branch the Fruiting Body was attached to. It was clear that the branch was now getting burned from the inside!

"Huh… you used the Parasitic Immortal Curcurbita to propagate the effects of the Weed Purging Sickle?" Lin Mu now understood.

"Indeed." Crown Princess Shang nodded. "The Weed Purging Sickle probably wouldn't do much to the Chimera plant directly, but with the Parasitic Immortal Curcurbita penetrating its roots into the branch, the things become a lot more easier. The effects can affect even the branches and the plant." She explained.

With that three out of the five remaining Fruiting Bodies had been taken care off. "Is that not enough?" Daoist Chu asked, seeing that the Chimera Plant was still fine. "Perhaps not." Crown Prince Feng Shun said. "Perhaps we should get the last two as well."

"I don't have a suitable skill for that." Daoist Chu shook his head.

"Me neither. I have strong skills, but none that will be able to travel through to the tree." Crown Prince Feng Shun was also at a loss.

~SHUA~

It was at this time that Lin Mu used the Boulder Collapsing Fist again, sending another Metal Devastator into the fourth Fruiting Body.

"It's fine, I can take care of them." Lin Mu replied, charging up the skill again.

Most people in the group had strong skills, but none of which that could 'infect' the Chimera Plant. Some even had Poison skills, but there was no way any normal poison skill would work against the Chimera Plant.

It would have to be something on the level of Lady Kang's Eighty Eight Constellation Series for it to be effective.

If they were a Poison cultivator, it would make sense to have something like that, but it wasn't the case for them.

~SHUA~

Lin Mu sent the Metal Devastator into the final Fruiting Body as well, watching as the effects started to spread.

~CRACK~CRACK~CRACK~

The first three branches had already been damaged to the point where the trunk was now being affected, while the last two branches were catching up.

After a minute, the damage finally caught up, and all the branches had been damaged while the effects continued to spread into the trunk.

"The shell of the branches can actually stay intact despite that." Elder Hu noticed, finding it rather strange. "The Chimera plant also doesn't have any active offensive methods other than making more Chimeric Beasts." Ziran spoke. "For all its reputation, doesn't that make it another liability?" Daoist Chu said after thinking for a bit. "Wouldn't it make sense to add a way for it to attack?

"Perhaps the way this particular Chimera Plant developed is different from others." Lin Mu replied after hearing them all. "The Chimera Plant's adapt to their environment and develop according to the fuel they get. The Death Qi made this Chimera Plant have incredible defenses and a rapid way of producing Chimeric Beasts, but it lacks direct offensive methods.

Other than the sap of course." He explained.

"No wonder…" Ziran stroked his chin. "I suppose another Chimera plant that was nurtured on just pure Immortal Qi would grow a lot differently."

"At least it wouldn't be as ugly as this." Crown Princess Shang was still disgusted by the plant's appearance. As someone that specialized in them, she had seen a lot of plants many of which were ugly too, but none could match the disgust she had for this particular Chimera Plant.

~KACHA~KACHA~KACHA~

As the group talked, the Chimera Plant's trunk started to crack as well, as longitudinal gaps could now be seen forming on it.

"Look! It's finally breaking." Qiao De pointed.

The cracks spread from the top to the bottom, and possibly reached the roots.

~RUMBLE~

It was at this point, that the ground started to shake.

"Perhaps we should step back…" Lin Mu had a bad feeling about this.

~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~

The others didn't need anymore explanation and they all quickly retreated five kilometer away into the sky. From here they could still observe the Chimera Plant, but be safe enough to either avoid the fall out from the plant, or have enough time to get away further.

~TREMBLE~

And sure enough, their choice was correct as tremors started to spread around the entire region.

~CRACK~

A long fissure spread along the path that the roots of the Chimera Plant had spread and Death Qi started to leak out from it.

"It's similar to before." Crown Prince Feng Shun said.

"At least its not a geyser. This death Qi should be what the Chimera plant had absorbed all this time." Lin Mu spoke. "Though this might make the area inaccessible." He added.

"That's fine, we'll have other places anyway." Crown Princess Shang replied. "I doubt it will cover the entire spatial plane like before." Lady Kang agreed too.

~BOOM~ n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shortly after they said this, a black explosion could be seen as the Chimera Plant exploded in its entirety!

Not just that, but wherever its roots were spread turned into fissures that were now filled with rivers of Death Qi!

It was as if an entirely new topography had been created.
