the sword tip tore through the air furiously, bringing about sharp whistling sounds, creating an unstoppable Blade Storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The storm expanded rapidly from Lis as the center, wherever it passed, whether thick branches or thin twigs, all were torn apart under the storm’s rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword light was like a fabric, impenetrable, and the entire Abyss Blood Tree seemed to be engulfed in a destructive vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black splinters danced and shattered in the storm, before finally falling powerlessly into the stench of blood below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was filled with the dense scent of blood and sawdust, and Lis’s extremely sharp Sword Intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the storm dissipated, all that was left in front of Lis was the bare trunk of the Abyss Blood Tree, and the two elves that Lis had intentionally avoided.\u003C\u002Fp>",804,"2026-06-03T10:58:36.197Z","2026-06-03T10:58:42.238Z",1,"novelbin.me","8aba92ad5b678b9e857762bc54d0a09c9f5a7a7440e9c60d50c46a35ffe42c17","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-698","i-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-chapter-696",1658,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-ascend-to-the-divine-throne-through-arcane-mea-cover.jpg"]
