Condemning the Heavens

Little Rainbow chirped as it looked at the flower in front of it. Although it was merely a beast, and even though its intelligence was still not as high as a human, it was still on high alert.

It could feel danger from this flower, and it flew high up in the sky before a blue flame wrapped in lightning descended from its beak heading straight for the flower.

Just as the thunder flame was about to land on the flower, a twitch ran through the herb, and a vine shot up from the ground around it, blocking the flame, but also getting destroyed in the process.

Xue Wei looked at this with a solemn expression on his face. He had not expected that the thunder flame would do any real damage to the Monarch Piranha Flower, but he had hoped that it would at least hit the original body.

He knew that while Little Rainbow was still immature, it held an explosive power within which could not be belittled.

But this flame, which was actually very strong, could only destroy the vine. The Monarch Piranha Flower was stronger than he had thought.

"All of you use flames and attack at once!" Xue Wei knew that they had to take the upper hand, so he called out, and all the Luan Birds flew into the air and bombarded the flower with flames imbued with thunder.

They had all been nurtured by the thunder element when they were in their eggs, so they were extremely proficient in using the thunder flame to attack.

At the same time, Xue Wei was using his Divine Flame, the Vermilion Bird Flame, to destroy vine after vine. Even Hei Gou was constantly throwing spiritual energy bombs at it, leaving craters all over the ground.

But while they were neutralizing one vine after another, destroying thousands of vines in a short period, the Monarch Piranha Flower continued to sprout vines and even made a shield around its main body with vines that were as thick as a log.

Luoluo and Bai Tianyi looked at one another; they saw the seriousness in each other's eyes and suddenly nodded their heads.

They were spirits, and there were many secrets to spirits that only they knew about.

Currently, the Monarch Piranha Flower was solely defending, but they knew that when it began attacking, then they would be in a tight spot, and thus they decided to use a trump card that only spirits possessed.

This trump card was not possessed by a plant spirit, as its nature was too different, but it was precisely because of this that they decided to use it.

Soul Fire!

The Soul Fire was a flame that was alternating between blue and white. It released strong undulations, not of heat, but of coldness instead.

This was known as a flame, but it was not really a flame. It ignited their soul power and created a flame out of it. Still, soul power was the foundation of their cultivation base, so it was not something any spirit would do unless absolutely necessary.

"The Monarch Piranha Flower is evolving!" Bai Tianyi suddenly yelled. "It has lured us here to be the food for its evolution! It will not kill us before the evolution is a success, and when it is, it will consume all our essence blood to stabilize its foundation!"

"The sword spirit is not useless," Lan muttered to himself when he heard that Bai Tianyi knew precisely what was going on. He was also quite satisfied to see that they had used the Soul Fire, as it could help Xue Wei.

Xue Wei was at the forefront of the battle. He was the one who had pushed the furthest into the vines that were appearing like raindrops on a stormy night.

He had wounds all over his body, as the thorns on the vines were pricking his skin and shredding his clothes. Blood was flowing in a steady stream down his body, but his eyes were full of determination. He had to kill this Monarch Piranha Flower before its evolution was complete.

Xue Wei released his elemental abilities; the Wood element shrouded his body as he got ready to face off against the main body.

Life Scale Shield!

Green light slowly gathered around his body, and he found that the wounds were slowly healing. The Monarch Piranha Flower was not poisonous, so while the wounds were slightly deep due to the thorns' size, there was no real harm done.

Xue Wei finally reached the body of the Monarch Piranha Flower, and his friends were just behind him. The flower swayed in the wind, and it seemed that the vines attacked them with renewed ferocity.

Xue Wei was not to be stopped though, and while he had not changed his body shape to a dragon or bird, but stayed as a human, he still felt that this constant battle of attrition against the Monarch Piranha Flower's unending vines was the hardest battle he had fought in a long time.

But it was also exciting. Feeling how he was fighting for his life again, feeling that he could not avoid it, he bravely continued forward, gathering more wounds that marred his skin, but also held a maddened smile on his face.

The Monarch Piranha Flower started trembling slightly, and after a bit of time, it curled up in a ball. Green and red light began shining from the body of the flower, and a small seed appeared.

Xue Wei was stunned. What was this? Did the seed have any special meaning for the evolution?

Just as he was about to chop down the flower, the seed shot into his heart with speed so fast that he could not react to it, and it was not before he felt the seed grow root in his heart that he noticed what had happened.

Right after the world turned black.
