CHAPTER 742: 682 RAID FOUR

Time trickled away.

One hour...

Two hours...

Whoosh!!

Suddenly, an invisible force of attraction abruptly emerged around Li Chengyi in the sea of flowers.

The force was so immense and powerful that it tried to pull Li Chengyi into a special passage outside of the blind spot.

Crack, crack...

Li Chengyi shook slightly but remained stationary.

The force exerted itself once more, intensifying its pull.

Amongst the cracking sounds, Li Chengyi seemed to lose balance slightly, tilting a bit to the left.

But that was his limit.

After that, no matter how the force pulled, it couldn’t drag Li Chengyi and his entire dimension into a new blind spot...

Several minutes later, the force relented, dissipating helplessly and vanishing without a trace.

In fact, unknown to Li Chengyi, this had happened many times before.

Only this time, the pulling force had been significantly stronger, but regrettably, Li Chengyi’s life force had grown even more.

So, once again, they reached a stalemate.

In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.

Li Chengyi’s eyes suddenly snapped open.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but it was already too late.

Boom!!!

He exploded violently, turning into countless black specks that dissipated into the air and instantly merged into the Lifeforce Dimension of his own body.

In the instant of the explosion, he merged his last bits of consciousness, which had been confined in his body, into the dimension.

Within the dark dimension.

Simultaneously, a myriad of dark red particles emerged in the countless black gaps among the lines of lifeforce.

These particles seemed to be made of flesh and blood; within them, tiny hearts pulsed, their contraction and dilation imbuing a strong sense of the rhythm of life.

Before long, a particle shot out, breaking free from the dimension and dropping back into the reality of the sea of flowers, where it rapidly expanded and grew into a body identical to that of Li Chengyi’s former self.

Hiss.

He opened his eyes, and a faint golden flame suddenly ignited upon his body.

’It’s done... The embryo has emerged, I hadn’t expected to step directly into the complete demon god form at this time.’

He sighed softly, not allowing the new body’s natural energy fluctuation to reveal itself, and immediately suppressed it with force.

Otherwise, unleashing his true form here, even if it were just a tiny cell of his body, might bring about fatal destruction to this planet.

Li Chengyi closed his eyes, feeling his own consciousness.

Now, his true body had shifted from the Holy Body into the dimension itself.

This newly emerged Holy Body had instead become a minuscule part, similar to a manifestation.

Which means, apart from facing the Omniscient, at other times, he could instantaneously generate numerous sub-bodies, effectively creating countless avatars.

Standing in the sea of flowers, Li Chengyi felt the surge of Flower Language beginning to slow down in his heart.

Clearly, the doubling effect of the Green Fleece Mugwort was coming to an end.

Next, it was time to check the new Ultimate Form Flower Language Ability.

He pressed his hand on the Mark of the Evil Flower, and the disc projected new information about the Ultimate Form.

’Green Fleece Mugwort: Ultimate evolution complete, flowering period: June to August.’

’Flower Language 1: Tenacious Life three times.

Flower Language 2: Life Everlasting (Where marks remain, immortality is certain).’

Li Chengyi noticed that this newly acquired third Tenacious Life had a strengthened version of rapid adaptation.

It was likely this trait that enabled his body to recover so quickly.

And the newly emerged second Flower Language was an Ultimate Form ability, apart from once-off abilities such as talent bloom, which all other abilities possessed.

The moment his consciousness power touched this new ability,

a multitude of new information flooded his mind.

’Life Everlasting: Wherever you leave a mark, a history, if you were to fall, you may choose any point to regrow from the mark, restoring all of yourself. Note: Regrowing consumes surrounding resource energy, please choose a resource-rich location when resurrecting.’

’Another life-preserving ability,’ thought Li Chengyi, quite pleased.

Right now, he feared nothing but death.

After working so hard to reach this level, it would be a pity to die all of a sudden.

’Next are Snow Lotus and Marsh Forget-me-not. The Snow Lotus can still evolve three times to enhance insight three times, while Marsh Forget-me-not can evolve twice. Let’s continue...’

The enhancement of insight from Snow Lotus had been of great help to Li Chengyi.

He chose to enhance this first.

Once again, he vanished in a flash from where he stood.

At the headquarters of the Behemoth Sect, the Giant Divine Hall.

Three white doves opened their ruby-like eyes and looked down at the second Taoist standing in front of the gate.

"Quite the dignitary to visit in such a short amount of time," remarked the white dove indifferently.

"Alpha Pope, may you always be in good health."

The visitor also had white hair and beard, an aged face, dressed in a dark red Taoist robe, wearing a black lotus crown, with white hair that burned with silver flames, transparent yet illusory.

"Ah, it’s Daoist Tianyan, I haven’t seen you in a long time," the white dove said. "Your brother has died, Tianhong. Did you know?"

"I am aware," replied Daoist Tianyan calmly. "It was not the Giant Spirit Layer he entered, but rather he was attacked in the river of history..."

"Yes, attacked by several of his peers," replied the dove.

"..." Heavenly Eye lifted his gaze, looking at the mockingly expression on the other’s face, "Would Alpha Your Excellency permit me to enter the temple and investigate? Not even the last trace of Tianhong can be found. In an instant, all the connections and history he left behind were naturally nullified. He cannot be resurrected..."

"Sorry, that’s not possible," the dove refused, "Out of the Four Elders of Heaven’s Harvest, the one I detest the most is you. Had it not been for your interference back then, the temple would not have fallen into such an embarrassing predicament. Our Lord God’s work was incomplete. Now, we must need much time and effort to make amends."

Back then, Daoist Heavenly Eye had infiltrated a mysterious temple in an unknown region of the Behemoth Sect and single-handedly destroyed three important ceremonies, causing heavy casualties within the sect.

This was old hatred.

Heavenly Eye said no more, but took a serious look at the grand gate of the temple. He turned and followed the same route Tianhong had left by.

He was going to personally simulate Daoist Tianhong’s path to see how the latter was pulled into disappearance.

Among the Four Elders of Heaven’s Harvest, he was actually the most skilled at the art of killing, which gave him the most confidence.

He arrived again at the place where Tianhong was pulled into the long river of history.

His figure halted.

’There are... traces here....’

The Black Sea is divided into known and unknown regions.

While they seeming equal, the reality is that the size of the known area is fixed, and without including the internal space of the blind spots, the known region’s diameter is roughly ninety-nine zetta light-years.

The unknown region, however, is boundlessly large.

The entire known area is like an isolated island surrounded by vast oceans.

All around it is the infinite expanse of the unknown Black Sea.

Such confinement, such solitude, is what’s most painful for the Omniscients.

Therefore, everyone is in pursuit of the boundaries.

’What a pity... there’s no more detailed aura left. Otherwise, I would’ve been able to determine who exactly participated in the ambush...’

Heavenly Eye shook his head slightly.

He surveyed his surroundings.

It was deathly silent. All the hidden monsters of the Black Sea shrank away and hid as much as possible under his gaze.

Suddenly, Heavenly Eye’s brow furrowed, and he reached out to grab.

Right in front of him, from the void of the Black Sea, he silently pulled a gigantic humanoid angel covered in numerous gray feathers.

The angel’s face was a black vortex without features. It was wrapped in numerous gray-white threads like spider silk, unable to move, only through the cocoon formed by the threads could one see it emanating a thick aura of death.

"The King of the Death Angels?"

"How could stuff from the Dead Qi Cult Nation appear here?" Heavenly Eye pointed.

The King of the Death Angels shrank rapidly, soon landing in the palm of his hand, turning into a peanut-sized mini model.

The hierarchy of the King of the Death Angels was merely immortal Holy Spirits constructed from an infinite number of imprints.

Their origin stemmed from countless contingencies and historical traces left by the Dead Qi Cult Nation.

Unless the entire Black Sea were thoroughly cleaned, the King of the Death Angels would regenerate after not too long.

Therefore, Daoist Heavenly Eye merely grabbed it for a cursory check to see if the seals laid down by the younger generation were secure enough, and if there was any information about Daoist Tianhong left in their memories.

It was at this moment, as he carefully went through the memories of the King of the Death Angels.

All of a sudden, in the memories flashing by, from the pitch-black void of the Black Sea, a golden petal silently flew out.

The petal started slowly, but as soon as Daoist Heavenly Eye noticed it, its speed exploded beyond the speed of light, flying towards him.

Heavenly Eye wanted to dodge, but the petal seemed to follow some extremely complex and robust rule, flashing instantly and appearing on the outer side of his right arm.

"What is this!?"

The moment the petal stuck to him, Heavenly Eye trembled all over.

A magnificent chain made up of twelve different colors, including purple, red, blue, yellow, and others, formed by the petals, appeared out of nowhere on his body.

At the same time, five blurry figures made a Flash Appearance to his side, surrounding him in five corners.

Hum!!

Five pillars of light, like clusters of sand, simultaneously fell onto Heavenly Eye in the memory scene.

"You guys!"

Wide-eyed, Heavenly Eye had no time to think before a thunderous explosion erupted.

The King of the Death Angels in the palm of his hand in the real world blew apart at that moment.

At the same time, his body also twisted and blurred, pulled completely into the memory of the King of the Death Angels.

Even though the King of the Death Angels could gradually recover, for a short while, before it did, Daoist Heavenly Eye, sealed off by five of his peers, was temporarily trapped in the illusion of past memories, unable to break free.

Inside the main hall of Tian Ju Pavilion.

Tian Xuanzi and Tian Qingzi sat opposite each other, watching as the golden flame representing Daoist Heavenly Eye suddenly dimmed.

They looked at each other simultaneously.

"They’ve come."

"A single move," Tian Qingzi commented indifferently.

The two of them blurred simultaneously, moving at tremendous speed through Instantaneous Movement in the direction of where Daoist Heavenly Eye was.

But the next second, both of their faces changed. Their bodies solidified from their half-transparent state at lightning speed.

"To actually be able to forcefully interrupt our transmission?!" Tian Xuanzi looked displeased.

In theory, even if it was the peak of the Omniscient of the same level, it should not be possible to stop them from forcibly transmitting there directly.

After all, the Black Sea is too vast; nobody can completely seal off all the known domains.

But this time, they were indeed interfered with.

"This feeling... it’s as if something from a higher hierarchy is interrupting us from above..." Tian Qingzi looked serious.

"Let’s go! Head directly to the nearby area!" Tian Xuanzi stood up immediately and disappeared in an instant.

Tian Qingzi clenched his fists and remained sitting in place, knowing that moving now was actually too late.
