That sealed entity was running at an inconceivable speed.
And everywhere it passed, within the range of Chu Feng's vision, all vegetation would wither and die in an instant.
Not just flowers and grass—even rivers would vanish, the earth would dry up. Countless dry cracks would appear on what had been vibrant, life-filled ground, and even the mountain rocks suffered the same fate.
What had once been a lush, green landscape was transformed into a desolate wasteland with no sign of life whatsoever the moment that evil Ginseng King passed through.
All of this was visible to Chu Feng's eyes right now.
"That thing… is it devouring all living beings?"
Chu Feng was stunned. Though he didn't know exactly how the evil Ginseng King accomplished it, he was absolutely certain that it was responsible.
"It's starting to change."
Just as Chu Feng was observing the ever-destroying scenery around them, the Queen suddenly alerted him.
Chu Feng looked toward the evil Ginseng King once more and noticed that its body was growing larger, and the tentacles on its body were multiplying as well.
Moreover, as the evil Ginseng King grew, countless tiny tendrils—resembling whisker-like mini-tentacles—were sprouting from each of its main tentacles.
Chu Banruo's face, upon noticing the evil Ginseng King's transformation, was growing more and more delighted.
"Oh my—everyone, look! That monster is getting bigger!"
Suddenly, an exclamation rang out from the crowd. Moments later, every face was filled with terror. Some had gone so pale they looked deathly, trembling uncontrollably.
Because the elder of the Chu Heavenly Clan was chasing after the evil Ginseng King, everyone present could see the changes happening to it right now.
It was getting larger and larger—growing from a three-foot-tall little doll into a giant creature over ten meters tall. And the transformation was still ongoing. Its rate of growth was absurd; in the blink of an eye, it went from ten meters to dozens of meters.
After another moment, the evil Ginseng King had already grown to a hundred meters in height.
Before long, it became a colossal behemoth standing a thousand meters tall.
And this was less than half an hour since it had burrowed out of the ground.
That told just how fast this evil Ginseng King's growth rate truly was.
As its body expanded, its appearance transformed as well. Now the tentacles and tendrils covering its body were too numerous to count, and its visage grew more and more grotesque.
At this moment, the evil Ginseng King's eyes were enormous beyond belief, radiating a blood-red glow. Its laughter was deafening, so powerful that even the void itself was trembling.
"Just refining these is meaningless. These people were all prepared for you—go ahead and refine them."
The elder of the Chu Heavenly Clan suddenly spoke, and his words were clearly directed at the evil Ginseng King.
Upon hearing this, the evil Ginseng King actually stopped in its tracks. Those six enormous eyes swept across every person present.
Its gaze was extraordinarily cold. Anyone who met those eyes felt as though their body had been hollowed out—as if they were already dead.
In that moment, people were even more terrified. Some began falling from midair, having lost the power to remain afloat.
Those people had all been frightened into unconsciousness.
They finally understood why the elder of the Chu Heavenly Clan hadn't let them leave.
He had been treating everyone here as feed—food to be offered to this evil Ginseng King.
But after sweeping its gaze around, the evil Ginseng King ultimately locked its eyes onto the elder of the Chu Heavenly Clan.
"Devouring them wouldn't do much for me."
"You, on the other hand… you might still be of some use."
After speaking, a massive tongue protruded from the evil Ginseng King's mouth—its mouth filled with sharp teeth—and it licked its own lips.
That tongue was covered in barbed hooks, looking utterly disgusting and horrifying.
Yet its expression was one of excitement.
"You—hah! You actually want to refine me?"
Hearing this, the elder's face changed as well. Then he bellowed: "Seal!"
Simultaneously, his palm opened wide, and a cascade of golden light poured down like a waterfall, forming into a massive golden net.
The net was enormous—it seemed capable of covering the entire landscape—and its speed was incredible. In an instant, it enveloped the evil Ginseng King, trapping it tightly within.
ROAR—
