It was as if invisible waves spread wherever the ribbon of energy touched and these waves fragmented everything. The wooden trunk of the tree kept on splitting into smaller pieces until they were as small as fingernails.
All of this seemed as it if took a long time, but in reality, it happened in an instant.
Then, it happened.
~KABOOM~
The tree could no longer withstand and exploded, spreading all the fragments forwards. A sonic boom accompanied this as Lin Mu himself was thrown back due to the impact. The sonic boom was delayed but was impactful.
The ribbon of energy then detonated upon itself, being unable to maintain its form, resulting in another explosion. By now, the ribbon of energy had already traveled beyond the tree and created a stormy wind that bent the trees around it and made them bald.
All the leaves of the trees were blown away as a wave of energy spread around in the area.
