The deafening explosion echoed in the air, enough to wake up the dead.

Towering green flames engulfed the entire mountain, almost burning everything in its path to ashes.

Ferya’s face turned red. She quickly retreated and released her constellation light force to form a shield and block the terrifying flames.

Fortunately, the Emerald Glazed Flame wasn’t aimed at her, so she managed to escape easily.

However, she still felt burned by the high temperature alone. The force in her body was boiling.

She left the peak and retreated far into the distance, stopping only when she was a few thousand meters away. She looked at the scene from that safer point.

The enormous spiritual tree image seemed to shudder; numerous light droplets rained down on the true spiritual tree below.

It was like a cover made from light drops.

The giant tree avatar managed to block the blazing dragon’s attack!

Origin power!

The Mother of Light used her origin power to forcefully block the terrible flames.

After all, the tree was already at the universe stage.

If it wasn’t for her limitations, and the fact that Wang Teng had skills able to restrain her, she wouldn’t be struggling in a tight corner.

Wang Teng became serious as Force surged out of his body. He controlled the Emerald Glazed Flame to the best of his ability, wanting to destroy the tree outline.

He could only aim to damage the physical form of the tree after destroying its giant clone.

The Mother of Light wouldn’t fulfill his wish. A powerful spiritual channeling flowed out of the spiritual tree and swarmed towards Wang Teng.

“Hmph!” Wang Teng snorted. The Nine Treasures Pagoda appeared in his consciousness and hurled itself against the attack.

Boom!

The building clashed with the invisible force, producing a dull thud.

The next instant–the pagoda was thrown backwards. Wang Teng’s face turned pale.

The tree spirit’s attack was blocked, and was also damaging to her. A pain shot through her mind as her spirit trembled.

Wang Teng frowned and flung his pagoda towards her again.

At the same time–another flame came out of his body and soared into the sky.

The Soul of Thousand Beasts Flame!

The latter had a red color, which turned into a massive Xuanwu turtle and slammed violently against the massive tree projection.

The avatar became duller under the barrage of both flames. It trembled furiously, and was on the verge of collapse.

The Nine Treasures Pagoda was continuously sent forth to meet the other party’s spiritual attacks. Explosions ensued.

“Another divine flame?” Ferya looked as if she had just seen a ghost.

This fellow has two divine flames!

He must be crazy!

The world is crazy!

Wang Teng shouted, without looking away from the fight, “Why are you standing there? Attack!”

Ferya snapped out of her shock. The young hero had blocked the spiritual attacks; adding the two divine flames, she thought they would win for sure.

Now, she realized she was overthinking.

That tree was really powerful!

But…

“I can’t when you use your flames!” Ferya said helplessly.

Our hero was stunned. Then, he understood and waved a hand. The Emerald Glazed Flame formed a protective layer around her.

Ferya was surprised.

The fire covering didn’t hurt; it completely blocked the scorching heat.

She stopped hesitating and rushed through the flames. Then, she used her Fist of Light to punch the tree avatar.

Boom, boom, boom…

Light Ultima was imbued in the frightening fist attack, producing afterimages; she released her punches at the speed of lightning. Only blurred shadows and a dazzling white light was seen.

The attacking strength was quite high!

What a violent girl! Wang Teng felt the corners of his mouth twitch when he saw her in action.

His evaluation of Ferya’s ability went up a few notches. Based on his understanding, the Light Ultima she possessed had almost reached perfection.

She was close to his age, her ultimate move was nigh perfect.

Her talent was astonishing.

If Wang Teng didn’t have the system… He wasn’t sure if he could reach that attainment level at such a young age.

Ferya stepping in to help caused the spiritual tree to receive even more damage.

Branches started to fall; they were swept by the flames and burned to ashes before they could turn into droplets of light.

The tree outline started to collapse, as if enduring the passage of a raging storm.

However…

“Not enough!” Wang Teng shouted.

Ferya rolled her eyes and glared at the latter; however, she didn’t talk back. Taking a deep breath, white light burst out from her fists. A powerful energy was gathered, packing inside her small hands.

“Light Cannon Fist!” Ferya shouted while cupping her fists. Then, she turned into a flash of light and darted forth.

Boom!

There was a terrifying burst of light from her fists like a giant white cannonball, colliding against the tree clone while making a loud bang.

“Move!” Wang Teng’s voice was heard right after.

The girl disappeared just after managing to land her move.

Boom!

A strange fluctuation was produced by Wang Teng’s body, spreading out; the environment had a complete change.

It was a world full of fire and giant rocks. Large asteroids wrapped in green and red flames floated in the air. The air was scorching hot; it was like being inside a furnace.

Domain!

Wang Teng amalgamated three of his domains to make that fused domain.

Fire Domain + Meteorite Shower Domain + Magnetic Domain = Flaming Magnetic Meteor Domain!

Wang Teng knew that Ferya was out of the effect range, so he raised a finger and the blazing asteroids plummeted down.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

All the meteors hurled towards the spot where Ferya attacked. Loud bangs echoed.

The two attacks occurred within a split second from each other.

It had to be noted that they were cooperating quite well.

Boom!

Followed by a loud explosion and the eruption of both attacks–the giant tree projection was finally disintegrated. It was no longer capable of protecting the spiritual tree below.

Flames swept down and engulfed the tree, which started to burn violently.

“Ah!” The spiritual tree screamed in agony. White light flickered on the tree as it tried to resist the power of the two flames.

However, divine flames were hard to get rid of.

It was especially so for a tree. Wood was fuel for the fire, allowing it to burn even more vigorously.

Ferya appeared next to our hero and glanced at him with conflicting emotions.

Domain!

This fellow grasped a domain.

She thought she was a rare talent since she had a domain of her own. However, Wang Teng had one too.

And his mastery was even higher!

Ferya felt dejected again.

“You used domain power in your attack just now,” Wang Teng said.

Ferya’s heart skipped a beat, not expecting to be seen through. “You have a domain too.”

“Well, your domain is quite strong,” Wang Teng complimented.

“You’re not bad either,” Ferya commented with a snort.

The guy sounded like an elder commenting on her skills. It was infuriating.

“Thank you.” Wang Teng smiled.

Ferya: …

It was like punching a cotton ball. She felt truly annoyed.

Fine, you’re thick-skinned.

Ferya rolled her eyes, then looked with a frown at the burning spiritual tree and asked, “Will she burn to death?”

“Don’t worry, she’s fine,” Wang Teng replied calmly.

That was a sentient tree. None of them would bear to kill it.

However, it should be tamed first.

The tree continued crying in pain as the fire progressed.

The high and mighty ‘Mother of Light’ looked miserable at the moment.

Her bark and leaves were burnt in seconds. Some leaves couldn’t last much and turned to ashes.

The Mother of Light appeared again. She was extremely weak, seemingly about to collapse at any moment. She stumbled within the flames.

“Hey, isn’t this the noble and mighty Goddess of Light? Why are you in such a miserable state?” Wang Teng mocked her.

Mother of Light: …

F**k!

Ferya glanced at Wang Teng, at a loss for words.

“What do you want?” the tree spirit asked, her cold tone contrasting the excruciating pain and humiliation.

“Let me think.” Wang Teng touched his chin and wondered. His eyes lit up. “Come, call me papa.”

“… #¥%#!” The Mother of Light fumed.

Kill me if you want, but you can’t insult me!

I am the goddess of the Light Velvet race, the most powerful presence on the planet. How could this human embarrass me like this?

Ferya was bewildered.

How could he be so vicious?

“Are you going to say it?” Wang Teng waved a hand and the fire intensified.

Both divine flames were powerful. The spiritual tree would have been rendered to ashes if it wasn’t strong enough to withstand their power.

“Never!” the Mother of Light shouted, “I am a goddess. I’d rather die than be humiliated.”

“Good, as expected of a godly figure. Didn’t you ask who would dare to kill you? Well, I do,” Wang Teng scoffed.

The Mother of Light was furious, but she couldn’t do anything.

Ferya moved her lips but no words came out. She just watched the show unfold.

She also felt that the defeated spirit was thinking too highly of herself. How could she claim to be a goddess when she was a mere tree?

Time flew. The spiritual tree was completely charred; all the leaves and branches had fallen. It was in its last throes.

“Stop!” The Mother of Light’s figure was almost transparent. She was extremely weak. “Why don’t we make an agreement?”

“Call papa,” Wang Teng said.

The muscles on her face twitched. She curbed her anger and said, “I can use my Light Origin to form a droplet of Light Sap. Consuming it will grant you eternal life with no side effects. I can give this to you if you let me go.”

“Light Sap, eternal life!” Ferya’s eyes lit up. She was tempted.

“Call papa,” Wang Teng repeated indifferently.

“If you don’t agree, I’ll just kill myself and you will get nothing,” the Mother of Light said.

“Call papa,” Wang Teng continued.

The tree spirit almost went crazy. “Are you listening to me?”

“Call papa and I’ll listen to you,” Wang Teng replied.

“I… please be humane.” She felt desperate.

Ferya gave the young man a strange look.

She admitted defeat.

Really!

“One last time. Are you going to call me papa?” Wang Teng said coldly.

The Mother of Light kept quiet for a few seconds. In the end, she spoke in an extremely soft voice, “Pa… papa.”

“Louder,” Wang Teng said.

The spirit took a deep breath and shouted with a red face, “Papa!” She gave up her dignity in the face of death.

“Good girl.” Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction.

Ferya slapped her forehead.

She gathered that provoking the human would not end well. Is this something a human would do?

Even that self-proclaimed goddess was forced to give up her dignity and call him ‘papa’.

He’s a devil.

She couldn’t afford to provoke him! Never!
