Boom!
The once calm and windless illusionary ancient tree suddenly erupted the moment it touched the Pure Blood.
It was like a giant beast suddenly awakening, or an ancient deity being offended.
Millions of branches of the illusionary ancient tree abruptly spread out!
From afar, it "looked" as if the body of the illusionary ancient tree had expanded tenfold.
This was actually the residual consciousness of the Galo Ancient Tree, awakened by the domineering instincts of the Pure Blood, instinctively launching a counterattack to protect its remaining consciousness from being erased!
This counterattack wasn't out of rage.
Because the main consciousness of the Galo Ancient Tree had long died, the current residual consciousness no longer had emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, or fear.
Instead, this counterattack was more like a reflex, like an involuntary twitch of a centipede's body when touched, even after it's nearly dead.
