But this was indeed a true Divine Realm expert!
If it were Dongfang Bai or Lin Xiao here, they would still be no match for Daisy. However, Mr. Zhuge was present.
Zhuge Lan had not cultivated for long enough, and as such, had not yet recovered his Divine Realm strength. Yet, in terms of his mastery and understanding of formations, he was undeniably at the Divine Realm.
With a mortal body, he had not only connected with the divine, but also bridged the gap between the past and present. This kind of thousand-year unbroken heritage was something the United States could neither understand nor resist.
Within the formation, Mr. Zhuge's power had also been enhanced.
It seemed that the power stripped from Daisy was, at this moment, fully imbued in him.
He extended his hand, and flames engulfed Daisy.
"Ah!!!"
The burning sensation gnawed at Daisy's senses.
How could this be…
Her experience told her that she should not fear fire. As long as she wore the crown and gained the goddess's power, she could disregard flames, most bullets, and her body would be more resilient than ordinary blades.
But now, she could actually feel herself being burned by fire?
What on earth was going on?
The next second, the flames vanished, replaced by a mass of water that enveloped her.
Daisy wanted to break free from the water, but no matter what she did, the water did not behave like water. Her body felt as if it were fixed within a piece of transparent crystal.
Mr. Zhuge, looking at the trapped Daisy, smiled faintly. "As expected of a young lady. Anyone else would have had their body give out by now. The inheritance of the United States does have its merits."
Regardless, a Divine Realm expert was still a Divine Realm expert. Only a Divine Realm expert could contend with a Divine Realm expert.
If Daisy's body were not protected by the goddess's power after entering the Divine Realm, she would have already perished with just the two transformations.
No, it should be said she would have gone to hell.
Perhaps, to heaven?
Mr. Zhuge chuckled self-deprecatingly. He was perhaps too old to be thinking so much.
Enveloped by this mass of Weak Water, Daisy's body was immobilized. Logically, she should not be able to breathe. Even if the Eight Trigrams formation were all illusions, the interplay of reality and illusion could deceive the brain into genuinely believing what was happening. In that case, the Weak Water would be real.
She should not be able to breathe.
And indeed, she wasn't breathing. However, her eyes continuously emitted a faint glow, fixed on Mr. Zhuge. Her chest did not rise and fall, and it seemed power was gathering within her body.
"Holding your breath?"
Mr. Zhuge flicked his finger, and more Weak Water appeared.
But it was at this very moment that Daisy was enveloped by a layer of fluorescent light. She used brute force to break free from the Weak Water!
"As expected of the Divine Realm."
Mr. Zhuge acted almost without hesitation. He flicked his finger again, and as the Weak Water was just broken free, countless vines ensnared Daisy. Seemingly empowered by the Weak Water, these vines grew increasingly robust, quickly forming a colossal tree resembling a sky-piercing tower. Daisy was fixed onto its trunk.
At the same time, a massive blade appeared out of thin air, poised to cleave Daisy in half.
Daisy showed neither fear nor hesitation. The fluorescent light around her flickered again, and all her power erupted ferociously. The colossal being, akin to a world tree, was also severed at its waist by her.
The blade was empty.
