one meter outside the white tower, the ground was covered in withered leaves, and faint black mist flowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet within one meter, it was clean and tidy, and no black mist could approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, even though the Purification Tower was currently in an unactivated state, it still possessed some special abilities, which caused those Otherkind born in the withered forest to not dare to get too close or destroy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and the two others walked over curiously; the Purification Tower was about five or six meters tall, and as a whole, it seemed to be cast from jade, but if one looked closely, one would find that it seemed to be some kind of wood, with rings of wood grain on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ancient charm radiated from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to guess to know that the material of this Purification Tower most likely came from the Resonance Power Tree within the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo gently pushed open the tower door and then carefully walked inside, but what surprised the three of them was that it was not dim inside; on the contrary, a faint fluorescent light radiated out, making the people who walked in feel their moods suddenly become peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The interior of the tower was quite simple, without any extra furnishings, only a small stone platform in the center of the tower, and standing at the stone platform, looking up and around, one could see faint light patterns flickering on the tower walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's get started.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo stared for a while, then took out a jade bottle; inside the jade bottle was the purification dust, which could activate the runes within the Purification Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully placed the jade bottle onto the groove on the central stone platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the stone platform seemed to faintly bloom with light, and the jade bottle vibrated, suddenly spraying out streams of light; these light streams were like stardust, flickering with strange light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stardust light particles danced within the tower, and those mysterious runes on the tower walls gradually became bright, absorbing these stardust light particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as these purification runes absorbed the power of the stardust light particles, this Purification Tower suddenly emitted a subtle vibration, and then, at the top of the tower, a wave of purification light swept out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the light wave swept past, the black mist permeating this withered forest suddenly began to fluctuate violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if cold water had been splashed into a frying pan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sizzle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the withered forest, shrill shrieks rang out; clearly, the few remaining Otherkind within were all affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purification Tower was activated, and waves of purification light erupted, beginning to purge the power of malice in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the hillside outside the withered forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing, Qiu Bai, and Tian Tian looked at the white tower that had begun to emit purification light waves, their expressions all shifting slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally started activating the Purification Tower,\" Qiu Bai laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Otherkind in this withered forest have been cleared out by them, so it's time to activate it, but... that Otherkind, I'm afraid it's not something they can deal with, right?\" Tian Tian's gaze looked toward a certain part of the withered forest; they were currently on high ground, and with their own not-insignificant strength, they could naturally sense that in a certain part of the forest, there existed an Otherkind with not-weak malice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Otherkind originally only had the strength of the third pattern of the Pattern-Birth Stage, but after devouring the flesh-and-blood Otherkind, it should currently be at the level of the fourth pattern; in the future, once it completely digests the flesh-and-blood Otherkind, it might even have the possibility of advancing to the Red-Erosion grade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the strength of the fourth pattern of the Pattern-Birth Stage far surpassed that of Li Luo and the other two; if they clashed, Li Luo's side would likely pay a heavy price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, do we need to intervene?\" Tian Tian asked with a charming smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, \"Wait a little longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Tian widened her eyes and said, \"You don't still want to wait for Li Luo and the others to deal with that Otherkind themselves, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qing's golden eyes stared at that withered forest, her gaze seemingly piercing through the faint black mist, locking onto the area of the Purification Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's watch and see first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it would be extremely easy for them to deal with the Otherkind here if they intervened, this was not the result she wanted, because that would not be of any benefit to Li Luo's growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not mind giving Li Luo the greatest protection, but she did not want to limit Li Luo's own potential because of her protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the depths of the withered forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo and the other two saw that the activation had been initiated, so they did not stay in the tower, but quickly exited the Purification Tower, their gazes looking toward a certain direction with gravity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other White-Erosion Otherkind in this withered forest had already been cleared by them; the only one that still posed a threat was the human-skin Otherkind that had previously devoured the flesh-and-blood Otherkind...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it shouldn't be called a human-skin Otherkind anymore; after absorbing the flesh-and-blood Otherkind, that Otherkind had already begun to show signs of evolving toward the Red-Erosion grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, will that Otherkind come over?\" Bai Meng asked, feeling a bit nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo pondered slightly and said, \"Regardless of whether it comes or not, we have already made preparations; whether it's effective or not, we'll only know after trying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And there's no need to worry too much; even if we really can't deal with it when the time comes, don't we still have reinforcements?\" Li Luo comforted with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Meng also chuckled; the so-called reinforcements naturally referred to Senior Sister Jiang and the others, but she could also see that Senior Sister Jiang was tempering Li Luo, and if they really needed Senior Sister Jiang to save the day in the end, wouldn't that mean they were unqualified?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a girl, she didn't care much about such things as dignity or face, but she could still feel that whether it was Li Luo or Xin Fu, although the two had somewhat different personalities, deep down, they still possessed pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even if they truly encountered a desperate situation, the two of them would likely choose to give it their all and clash first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Meng raised her pretty face, looking at the surging black mist in the distance; right now, she just hoped that the preparations the captain had made earlier would have some effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as Bai Meng's thoughts were turning, suddenly in a certain direction of the withered forest, a violent power of malice began to churn, and vaguely, shrill shrieks came from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Li Luo and the other two all had their expressions change slightly as they sensed a wave of malice like a gale whipping up black smoke within the withered forest, and then it rushed toward their direction at full speed, the ground even vibrating slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, that human-skin Otherkind had come!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black smoke of malice churned, and in just a few minutes, it crossed the withered forest and quickly approached the location of the Purification Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And within the black smoke, a terrifying thing was moving rapidly; the Otherkind was about several zhang in size, with a massive body, crawling on the ground like a scorpion, with eight blood-stained, bright red palms protruding, and every time it slapped, it left deep palm prints on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where its face should be, there were no nostrils or mouth, only a pair of grayish-white human eyes rolling around, radiating rolling malice and madness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its gaze passed through the withered tree forest that was rapidly retreating in front, and then it gradually saw the Purification Tower that it found extremely detestable; at the same time, it also saw the three figures located in front of the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The power of malice surging on its body suddenly became intense, filled with chaos, slaughter, and distortion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fresh flesh and blood, let's eat them!\u003C\u002Fp>",1418,"2026-06-20T03:27:23.471Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","aa47ae91b310640d4ba1181c8907d5238762d4f4cd641ff2bec6aec3b22863c6","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-249","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-247",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
