However, the roots were unnaturally long—dozens of times longer than the weeping willow's main body.
BANG!
The timely-bloomed Jade Platform Fire Lotus trembled, and a full twenty-four of its layers were shattered on impact. A rain of fragmented flames fell from the sky, igniting much of the seaweed below.
For a moment, the sea surface was a spectacular sight of soaring flames.
However, more roots ignored the roaring blaze, shooting up from the water to surround him from all sides.
"True Yang Fire Dragon!"
With a soft cry from Xiao Chen, a massive Fire Dragon manifested to block the roots rising one after another from below.
At the same time, he immediately gained altitude, trying to distance himself from the strange willow tree below.
As if sensing its prey was about to escape, the weeping willow whipped a branch out of the sea, stabbing straight up into the air.
Its speed far exceeded the limits of a Golden Core Cultivator.
