CHAPTER 743: 683 PREMEDITATED ONE

Earth-Moon.

Amidst a vast expanse of artificially cultivated Snow Lotus flowers.

Li Chengyi slowly stood up, with the mark of a Snow Lotus blooming between his eyebrows, emitting a faint white glow.

It was the ultimate second expression of the Snow Lotus—’Pure Lotus Mark’.

’Pure Lotus Mark: A passive Flower Language Ability, capable of revealing the source of any lie, any falsehood. It instinctively feels when one is being deceived, defrauded, or kept in the dark.’

This second expression, combined with the First Floriography’s tenfold perception enhancement, formed the powerful passive efficacy of the entire Snow Lotus.

At that moment, Li Chengyi felt as if his mind had become the pinnacle of supercomputing in a technological civilization, where any fleeting thought could instinctively branch out into countless logical outcomes.

Regarding the Eternal Vitality System, he had many new insights in his heart.

He closed his eyes, and before him emerged the vast darkness of the Lifeforce Dimension.

In the darkness, myriad blood-colored threads entwined and dispersed in clumps, and under the surge of enhanced perception, these threads now conspicuously displayed intricate and special patterns.

Numerous complex and bizarre patterns moved and twisted like living things.

Li Chengyi had never observed this before.

’Indeed... it was only that I hadn’t discovered them before. Now, with enhanced perception, they feel completely different.’

At this time, the Lifeforce Dimension had fully integrated with him.

This was the true full-bodied form of a Dimensional Demon God.

"Next is the forget-me-not..."

Humm...

Just then, a humming sound along with a burst of purple light came from the Purple Cloud Ornament at his waist.

Series of urgent messages, summoning all disciples to return to the headquarters, transmitted over.

Li Chengyi’s expression changed subtly. Since Daoist Tianhong’s disappearance, the atmosphere in the headquarters had been tense. There had just been a gathering, and now such a summons was issued again...

’Could it be that something is about to happen?’ he pondered for a moment, then his body abruptly flashed, appearing in space out of nowhere.

Not in the Black Sea, but in a section of space within the Blind Spot.

In the eerie darkness of space, to his left was Earth-Moon and to his right was White Star, both very close to each other. Li Chengyi contemplated for a moment before extending his hand and pointing.

The entire Earth-Moon Star trembled violently and was quickly enveloped by a radiant golden light.

Li Chengyi floated in midair, watching Earth-Moon approach rapidly, becoming smaller and smaller.

Finally, it turned into a gray-black Sealing Sphere, which he stored in his sleeve.

’Now I feel much more at ease...’ He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the emptiness before him, then turned and disappeared on the spot with a swift flicker.

After achieving the complete form of a Dimensional Demon God, he needed to interpret all things through his own dimension. The super-enhanced perception now sped up his ability to analyze tremendously.

With Flower Language as an auxiliary ability, Li Chengyi had almost shortened thousands of years of hard work.

The extremely powerful perception also allowed him, almost instantaneously, to interpret anything he saw through the Lifeforce Dimension.

Therefore, progressing towards the pinnacle of what it meant to be a Dimensional Demon God, Li Chengyi was moving at high speed.

Leaving Earth-Moon, he immediately blinked into the Black Sea.

But he did not return directly to the headquarters like the others.

Instead, he contacted his senior brother Lan Meng immediately.

Dark City Blind Spot.

Within the vast and silent dark city, on deserted streets.

Whoosh!

Two tall figures appeared on the surface of the street.

One was a strong man clad in blue-black Taoist robes, with a white lotus mark on his forehead.

The other was the towering Lan Meng, his head full of meat buns, a gentle demeanor, and an aura akin to Buddha.

"Senior brother, this is the place!" said Li Chengyi in a deep voice, looking up at the sky.

Initially, it was here that he had been forced to flee in complete disarray.

The giant eye that covered the sky had left a profound impression on him.

And now...

He had come back.

Li Chengyi looked towards the heavens.

In the sky, a giant, dark red eye, filled with numerous blood vessels, its pupil pitch black like a black hole, was surrounded by a halo of dark gold vine-like patterns.

The Giant Eye King!

This was the ruler of the entire Dark City Blind Spot.

"Giant Eye King... an abomination that broke off from the Behemoth Sect, one of the strongest among all its pollutants... I didn’t expect you would encounter it," Lan Meng said with surprise.

He recognized this giant eye.

This creature had no consciousness and belonged to the side of the unknown.

Many of the powerful and abnormal beings on the unknown side lack the cognition and consciousness of the orderly faction.

"Can you resolve it, senior brother?" asked Li Chengyi in a solemn voice.

"Quite simply," Lan Meng smiled.

He looked around, slowly rising into the air. Then he raised his hand towards the Giant Eye King in the sky and pointed.

"Change."

He uttered an almost playful activation word.

With a pop.

The Giant Eye King suddenly shuddered, its colossal eye that occupied much of the sky starting to blur and warp.

Ao!!

An immense vibration wave, invisible to the eye, burst from its pupil, harshly descending upon the two standing below.

Boom!

A loud blast resounded.

The ground around Li Chengyi and Lan Meng suddenly sank, and a large circle of buildings and streets crumbled and collapsed around them.

From above, it looked like a huge circular stamp had been heavily pressed on the spot where they stood.

But, regrettably, it was completely useless.

Li Chengyi didn’t even feel the slightest pressure.

A faint blue halo enveloped him and Lan Meng.

The space around the two of them, in that instant, had been elevated to an extremely frightening intensity.

So much so that the power of the Giant Eye King, upon touching this space, naturally split and flowed away, returning without achieving anything.

"Weakening the opponent, strengthening oneself, the All-Aspect is truly extraordinary..." Li Chengyi watched the once mightily Giant Eye King now painfully contorting and rapidly shrinking in size, degraded to only half of its original size.

A trace of emotion inevitably rose in his heart.

This was Omniscience...

It was just the All-Aspect, with just a tender thought, the previously formidable Giant Eye King was now like a lamb to the slaughter, powerless to resist, only able to let out a sorrowful roar.

"Theoretically, this little guy in his current state could be dealt with by you too. Not so powerful, but are there any troubles?" Lan Meng pointed once more.

The Giant Eye King in the sky rapidly degraded, shrinking until soon it transformed into a black and gold metallic spherical eye, and descended from the sky into his palm.

The entire Giant Eye King, by this time, had been reduced to something akin to a metallic eyeball, only the size of an egg. Apart from minute movements, there were no longer any signs of its former terror.

"There’s another place..." Li Chengyi retracted his gaze and spoke earnestly.

"Do you have coordinates?" Lan Meng raised an eyebrow.

"Yes!" Li Chengyi, having acquired Life Everlasting, could now clearly navigate to any location he had passed through using his memory as coordinates.

He closed his eyes, pondering for a moment.

Then he opened his eyes and gave Lan Meng’s arm a tap.

Sss!

The two of them vanished in an instant.

The next second, they both appeared in front of a massive golden gate atop a sea of clouds.

The dilapidated and quiet Golden City was still releasing a faint golden glow, clear and bright.

But the place Li Chengyi was searching for was not here.

His gaze shifted, looking into the vast expanse of white clouds in the distance.

"The Mother of Emerald?" While he was still searching, Lan Meng beside him had already come to realize it, his brow slightly furrowed.

"You, young man, are dealing with something not so easy to handle." Lan Meng shook his head slightly.

He pointed his hand, and the scenery around them rapidly changed; in an instant, they underwent spatial transfer.

The two, along with a large chunk of square space around them, were forcibly relocated to a very distant part of the sea of clouds overhead.

A pale white vine ball was writhing continuously above the sea of clouds, emitting a frictional hissing sound.

Unlike when Li Chengyi first saw it, the Mother of Emerald seemed to sense some kind of threat, becoming instinctively vigilant. On the side facing the two, many gray-white spiky vines quickly surfaced.

"Are you sure it’s this thing?" Lan Meng asked again.

"Exactly, Senior Brother, can you handle it?" Li Chengyi inquired.

"I can, but the Mother of Emerald is not unique. It has offshoots in many places and cannot be completely disintegrated and killed because its source comes from the will of all plants within the Black Sea. Unless all vegetation is exterminated, it will quickly regenerate," Lan Meng explained.

"It can do that?" Li Chengyi frowned, surprised by the complexity of the creature.

"Besides, the Mother of Emerald has the concept of infinite evolution and repair. At most, I can only suppress it momentarily so you can deal with it. But once it regenerates, it will always remember and be hostile to you," Lan Meng said indifferently. "So, do you really intend to ask me to help you handle this offshoot?"

Li Chengyi: "....."

At this moment, he remembered that when he had last left this blind spot, the great pillar of light that erupted from the Golden City was blocked by the Mother of Emerald.

Actually, this being bore no grudge against him, and had even helped him in the past...

"Let’s forget it, then." Li Chengyi exhaled, turning his gaze toward the distant Golden City.

His Consciousness Power was still far from the peak of the Dimensional Demon Gods. Since he was already there, could he possibly take something with him on the way out?

Daoist Lan Meng seemed to catch onto his thoughts.

"Well then, as your elder brother, I will lend you a hand."

He smiled, looking down at the vast ocean below, and raised his right hand.

"Fall!"

His voice erupted like a thunderclap.

The explosion, centered on him, became a transparent vibration and spread in all directions.

Everything the vibration passed through vanished; the sea of clouds dispersed, the light dimmed, and everything turned to gray-black, like fog.

The deep sea below also simultaneously exploded with a ring of ripples.

Wherever the ripples passed, the water vanished into thin air, dematerializing into a gray-black fog that filled the void.

The ripples kept expanding, growing larger and larger.

From a diameter of one hundred kilometers, they swiftly expanded to ten thousand, one hundred thousand, a million kilometers.

Eventually, they grew exponentially.

If one could observe from a macro perspective, they would see a huge ripple, forming a gray sphere centered on Li Chengyi’s position, as if inflated by air.

In the ocean, colossal beasts hidden below had not perceived anything before they were immediately engulfed by the ripples, turned into formless gray mist.

In the sky, the gigantic Calamity Light Wall that was constantly on the move happened to make contact with the ripple.

And the Calamity Light Wall that had once exhausted Li Chengyi’s efforts to dodge was silently consumed by the ripple, turned into gray mist and vanished into nothingness.
