Suddenly, Ji Xinghuo stopped.
He hovered mid-air, turned around, and looked back at the approaching Qian Lv with a strange expression on his face.
Qian Lv, in turn, grew somewhat suspicious.
Just as it was about to speak, its expression changed dramatically, revealing panic.
Boom...
A muffled sound came from deep underground, instantly turning into a massive explosion that shook the entire Underground City as if an earthquake had occurred.
The center of the explosion was right beneath the giant banyan composite, where the ground around the huge trunk was upheaved.
The giant tree slowly toppled, revealing countless severed roots.
At the break, white luminescence could be seen seeping into the roots, like illusory flames, burning the roots to prevent regeneration and spreading into the trunk, branches, aerial roots, vines, and leaves, the intense burning white light illuminating the entire Underground City.
