“Zhen Gua!”
“As!”
The three Rebellious Bones immediately got excited upon hearing this.
Mingxi squatted down in front of the small tree that the Steel Fist Gladiator had transformed into, pinching her chin as she examined this special 'plant' with its unyielding iron bones. Suddenly, inspiration struck her: “Golden Yuanbao, try using thunder and lightning to strike its roots again!”
“Yuan Shi.”
Golden Yuanbao shook its wings, striking three lightning balls at the tree roots, but the small tree remained motionless.
Black Pearl frowned, tilting its head, “As.”
It indicated that it felt as if this broken tree was saying, 'Is that all?'
Although Black Pearl was a simple-minded fish, it was quite perceptive, so its statement might actually be true.
“Our precious darling is so smart.” Mingxi praised without reservation, then suddenly caught sight of the distinct ice and fire patterns on Lan Yue’s eight bright tails. She clapped her hands sharply, “Guangguang, do you think this Reverse God Ruins might operate on the principle of the Five Elements generating and overcoming each other?
For example, in this Peach Blossom Forest, the energy transformation and variations of the peach blossoms, though diverse, are ultimately confined to Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, meaning they are within the Five Elements.”
Guangguang, who also understood Mingxi's previous life, pondered seriously upon hearing this, finally concluding— “Reliable, as expected of my Guangguang's master.”
“Then let's try it!” Mingxi snapped her fingers, “The cyclic generation of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth maintains the absolute balance of rules, while the reversal of the Five Elements overcoming each other causes the chaotic attributes here!”
Guangguang was curious: “Then how do we break it?”
Mingxi thought for a moment, looking at the tree in front of her, and said: “Of course, it's about finding the loophole in the Five Elements balance.”
“Is there one?”
“If it were the normal Reverse God Ruins, then certainly not, but now it's different.”
As an AI, Guangguang's intelligence was naturally online and it understood instantly: “You mean...”
“Not sure, but trying won't kill us.”
Mingxi called over Scarlet Jade, Emerald Green, Black Pearl, Lan Yue, and Bright Crystal, having each of them stand next to a sprouting and growing 'plant'.
“Everyone get ready. I’ll count 3-2-1, and when I say 1, release the specific skills as agreed.”
“Ye He.”
“Jin.”
“...”
The five of them each gave an OK sign in their own way.
Seeing them in position, Mingxi began to count down.
“...1!”
Scarlet Jade and the other five immediately unleashed their specific skills on the small saplings in front of them according to Mingxi's instructions.
The attributes of the five of them respectively represented Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
To break the Five Elements balance, one must use the Five Elements.
And these 'small saplings' forcibly derived from the pet beasts were the loophole switch in her eyes for breaking the balance!
Of course, this was still just her hypothesis.
Whether it would succeed depended on the outcome.
It was also possible that it might backfire, after all, anything can happen, like a big sausage wrapping a small one.
As for whether it would affect the pet beasts beneath the ‘small saplings,’ that was not something she needed to worry about.
“...”
Under the 'irrigation' of Scarlet Jade and the other five, those five small saplings did not flourish. Instead, they looked as if they had been sprayed with herbicide; their originally tender leaves quickly curled and withered.
“Master, your method seems to actually have a chance.”
Mingxi nervously clenched her fists, and the Golden Yuanbao Seven were equally tense.
At this moment, the five small saplings completely withered.
“It's over!”
Feeling the terrifying pressure rapidly permeating the air, Mingxi's heart skipped a beat.
The next second...
The moment the five small saplings withered, the ground beneath Mingxi and the others cracked like a spiderweb.
The entire Peach Blossom Forest, or rather, the entire Reverse God Ruins, seemed to come alive, suddenly convulsing violently.
The ground surged like a living thing, and putrid black viscous liquid spurted out from the cracks. freeweɓnovel.cøm
The viscous liquid was mixed with shattered bones and rotten beast fur.
The Frost Giant Spirit, trapped by Asura Nirvana, broke free from the domain at this moment. Wu Luo, who had been forcibly controlled by Hypnotic Powder, also suddenly woke up. His face was pale as he felt the changes in the air.
His expression was fearful, and his voice was hoarse like sandpaper rubbing.
“...Mad! You actually awakened the 'Rotten Medium'!”
“Boom—”
As soon as he finished speaking, a monstrous beast carcass, like a mountain, burst out of the ground.
Its body was like a stitched-up amalgamation of countless rotten beast corpses—
Three semi-decayed skull frames of a tiger, an eagle, and a python, with a pulsating black tumor embedded between the exposed ribs of its chest cavity.
Its surface was densely covered with dark red patterns resembling blood vessels.
Over a hundred tentacles emerged from its spine, with barbed suckers at their ends.
Each twitch of a sucker emitted a gurgling sound, like someone drowning.
“The modeling for this thing... is too sloppy, isn’t it? Are they short on investors?”
Mingxi was filled with shock.
She covered her nose and mouth, wishing she could retreat eight hundred steps. The stench emanating from this stitched-up corpse monster in front of her was so putrid, as if thousands of corpses had been left to rot in the summer sun for three days.
Even the fiery clouds beneath Lan Yue’s feet flickered erratically, as if being smoke.
“Rotten Medium.”
Guangguang was so shocked that its voice cracked again.
“No wonder the Reverse God Ruins has such unreasonable and evil rules, where the losers become nutrients. So it’s the Rotten Medium.”
Guangguang knew Mingxi was ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) unaware of the Rotten Medium’s situation, so it explained: “The so-called Rotten Medium is formed by using the corpses of Transcendent creatures as a medium, gradually forming a natural grand array under the influence of various rules.
It removes the dross from the corpses, leaving only the most essential parts to fuel the operation of the grand array and for the victors to absorb.
And this Rotten Medium is the collection of all those dross.
As for the formation principle, it’s quite complex, so I won’t elaborate here.”
Mingxi frowned, “No wonder it’s so evil.”
“It is very evil. It should be the foundation of the Reverse God Ruins’ existence. As long as it is killed, the Reverse God Ruins will also disappear.”
“Isn’t it a corpse? Can it be killed?”
“Of course, you also saw the pulsating black tumor in its chest. That is its energy core, and also the true core of the Reverse God Ruins. Destroying it is equivalent to destroying the Reverse God Ruins.
However, its strength is extremely formidable. You must be mentally prepared.
At the very least, it can rival a peak Venerable-level Transcendent creature.”
Peak Venerable-level, and that was the minimum.
So it was very possible that it was a God-level?
“However, you are not without the possibility of defeating it. After all, it is just a rotten corpse without the ability to think.”
“I understand.”
Mingxi already had a plan in mind.
The Golden Yuanbao Seven were also ready for battle.
“Yuan Shi!”
“Luo.”
Golden Yuanbao and Little Silver Flower had already flown into the air, beginning their aerial harassment.
The Rotten Medium’s python head suddenly opened its lower jaw, revealing a ring of rotating sharp teeth deep within its throat.
“Caoteng Tuji.”
“Thunder Radiation.”
“...”
Golden Yuanbao and the others began to interfere according to Mingxi’s instructions.
The Rotten Medium truly had no brain; it only knew how to attack and did not understand defense or evasion.
Its destructive power was nuclear-level, but it lacked any technical skill.
“Bright Crystal.”
Bright Crystal made a swift leap, and under the cover of Golden Yuanbao and the others’ firepower, it agilely climbed up the Rotten Medium’s body to the location of the black tumor.
“Poison Python Fang.”
