Chapter 494: 452 gets 2

In his haste, Li Chengyi concentrated the Golden Sword in his hand and chopped down forcefully.

Clang!!!

With a loud crash, his body was sent flying high into the air.

Even after a Soft Qi Eruption bolstered by thirty thousand tons of Giant Strength, he was still flung away by the vine.

In that moment of stillness, a multitude of vines caught up from behind and lashed wildly at Li Chengyi.

Bang bang bang bang!!!

A terrifying barrage of thousands of lashes in a single second.

Amid the clouds, Li Chengyi, clad in his black Armor, was like a badminton shuttlecock being smacked back and forth by the numerous vines, bouncing uncontrollably.

Every lash from the vines would tear away large chunks of flesh and Armor.

But he didn’t resist, instead enduring the pain in silence.

No sooner had the flesh been torn off than his body would quickly heal the wounds, restoring him to his original state.

Under the relentless lashing, the clouds below Li Chengyi looked as though they were showered in a rain of blood.

Pieces of flesh and bone fell, some into the sea, others blown askew by the wind, scattering into the unknown.

The beating continued for over ten minutes.

Only then did the vines gradually retract, disappearing piece by piece.

A few more minutes passed.

The last vine swiftly contracted.

Leaving only Li Chengyi being flung high by the final lash, his flesh torn and bones shattered countless times.

It was only when everything quieted down that his body began to heal and regenerate once more.

’Flower Language Technique: Radiance Field,’ Li Chengyi silently invoked his Flower Language Ability.

A golden field covered his entire body, and immediately the flesh began to rapidly repair itself like magic, taking only a few seconds to return to its normal shape.

’Indeed... this thing is a freak—the more you resist, the more excited it gets, the faster it evolves. If you don’t resist and just let it hit you, without feedback, it will slowly devolve...’

Li Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, his face pale but his spirits high.

Although he had lost a considerable amount of vitality and his body could probably only heal a dozen more times before he risked death,

Figuring out how to deal with the Mother of Emerald was still great news.

’It’s a shame... a Floral Dress got ruined... but I don’t have much else, plenty of Floral Dresses.’

His body flashed purple, and instantly he was clothed in a special Armor adorned with patterns of the Purple Magnolia.

The distinguishing feature of the Purple Floral Dress was its joint segments, inlaid and fitting together like bands of jade.

The evolved Armor wasn’t particularly remarkable, it resembled more a traditional Chinese Robe-Armor, with a huge diamond-shaped purple crystal on the chest, in which one could faintly see numerous Floral Beads floating and flickering with purple light.

Unable to fly in the new Floral Dress, Li Chengyi had no choice but to tread on Blood Essence and hasten back toward the Golden City.

Soon returning to the Brilliant Boat, he found Paine, who was lying motionless on the ground, having activated the Life Garment, in a corner of the ship’s deck.

"Are you okay?"

He helped Paine to his feet.

"No... Uncle, I used the Flower Language Technique again. To activate the Brilliant Boat, you need to find the Divine Fire Seal Ring. Only the Cipher Tower Association has it. Only on the Divine Fire Seal Ring is there an Isolation Imprint that can evade the Mother of Emerald," Paine quickly said.

"Divine Fire Seal Ring..." Li Chengyi immediately thought of the man in the golden Armor who punched through him.

Ugh...

He was confident in his own power, but not so confident as to think he could confront that many seals with just his Three seal Imprint.

’Wait... what if I lure the Mother of Emerald to that man in the golden Armor?’ A thought flickered in Li Chengyi’s mind.

But that thought was barely formed when a violent shake suddenly reverberated, causing the entire Brilliant Boat to creak and groan.

"What’s happening!?" He quickly rushed to the side of the boat and looked out.

In the distant sky.

A vast storm made up of silver specks, like an immense wall, was advancing, engulfing the entire Golden City.

The sea of clouds in the sky seemed split in two at that moment.

One side was engulfed by the storm of silver specks.

The other held the Golden City and the white sea of clouds.

"...It can reach high altitudes!?" Li Chengyi’s scalp tightened as he grabbed Paine and bolted.

But before they got far,

Whips of white vines once again Flash Appeared, converging towards him from below.

’How can this be happening now!!?’ Li Chengyi panicked, with the silver storm closing in from behind and the Mother of Emerald hunting him down.

In his hands, he still carried Paine, who had but the constitution of a common man.

Wait! Paine!? He must know a way!

"Uncle, to the left!!" Paine’s voice reached his ears at that moment.

Without hesitation, Li Chengyi charged to the left.

Boom!!!!

Suddenly, the world turned to gold.

In all directions, everything—the sea of clouds, the encircling Mother of Emerald vines, the approaching silver storm—

Everything was dyed golden by the vast golden glow radiating from a door deep within the Golden City, shimmering with golden ripples.

Within that golden light, a colossal column of gold on the outside and black on the inside burst from the door, piercing through the city and directly hitting the mass of the Mother of Emerald vines in midair.

The diameter of the column exceeded three hundred meters, resembling a giant golden pillar, fully enveloping Li Chengyi as well.

He only had time to shield Paine in front of him before an immense, searing blast hit him from behind.

Pff!!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out as Li Chengyi’s body quickly caught fire, charring and disintegrating from the blow.

But his strong vitality and Blood Essence allowed him to heal rapidly, pushing away the burnt flesh and growing new tissue.

Though he was only clipped by the edge of the light column, half of Li Chengyi’s body had vanished.

Hisss!!!

Fortunately, the Mother of Emerald was still holding firm.

The white vinesphere of the Mother of Emerald appeared out of nowhere beneath the column of light, hissing as if it were enraged, bearing the force of the golden beam.

Its surface sent out a large number of tendrils shooting straight toward the Golden City.

And just then, a silver storm swept through.

Boom!!!

The terror of the silver specks sliced through Li Chengyi’s body like countless blades, frantically cutting him from head to toe.

With thousands of cuts per second, and each cut carrying the force of tens of thousands of tons, they tried to dismember every bit of Li Chengyi’s flesh.

In such a moment, any sort of Blood Body or Spirit Fusion True Seal Form that Li Chengyi tried was useless.

The larger the volume, the more damage was taken.

In contrast, maintaining a small volume meant the cutting damage would be much less.

His entire body covered in Blood Essence, he tightly enveloped Paine, gritting his teeth against the excruciating pain that felt like thousands of cuts and slashes all around him.

The Purple Magnolia Floral Dress quickly became damaged, promptly replaced by the Ziwei Flower.

After the Ziwei Flower was ruined, another took its place.

One after another, it was unsure how much time had passed.

Li Chengyi’s eyes had been gouged out, his scalp torn, and had his skull not been rapidly regenerating and thickening, it would have been completely cleaved open by now.

Finally.

When his internal organs had been smashed and he was on the brink of death for the thirteenth time, with just two more times before final death, the storm abruptly stopped.

His Blood Essence was already spent—ninety percent gone. The suit of Floral Dress he wore was that of the Sunflower, which possessed a huge tower shield, and it indeed blocked quite a lot of slicing.

The Floral Dress’s strength increased in proportion to his own physical constitution, which meant the Sunflower still held some significance up until now.

Li Chengyi, drenched in blood, looked around.

The storm had vanished.

The Mother of Emerald was nowhere to be found.

The Golden City still stood, albeit now more broken. Its golden gates no longer shimmered with rippling golden light, seemingly having exhausted all their power.

All around, the towers had lost their radiant glow, presumably drained excessively by the recent storm.

Li Chengyi looked at his own body, bloodied, his armor in tatters, with his hair still growing.

Paine was still in his arms, equally bloody and faintly flickering.

Clearly, the Flash Appearance was about to end.

"Now’s the time... Uncle, quickly find the Seal Ring, it’s the safest, moment now!" Paine’s face was covered in fierce cuts, one of his eyes sliced open, with blood continuously flowing down.

Li Chengyi, seeing his terrible state, fell silent for a moment.

"Sorry!" he said quickly, setting the person down onto the clouds below the Golden City, then darting at full speed toward the Cipher Tower Association.

Bang!!!

He charged into a white-rimmed golden tower.

Bang!!

He rushed out again in haste, followed by a golden female humanoid figure with flame-like golden ornaments floating behind, the very armored woman who had previously pierced through him.

Bang!!

Another punch.

Li Chengyi’s side flashed with the figure in golden armor, a punch turning half his body into a mist of blood.

Li Chengyi let out a scream as he was sent flying by the tremendous force, shooting off into the distance, disappearing over the edge of the clouds in an instant.

Meanwhile, Paine had vanished from the ground, returning to Earth-Moon.

Only Li Chengyi remained, flying backward at high speed, while everything around him seemed to blur past like fleeting scenes.

His body healed rapidly, but this was the last time it would do so. His recent charge into the Cipher Tower Association in search of the ring had left him on the brink of death once.

This time, being blasted away with a punch that vaporized half his body, the remaining Blood Essence was unable to mend his injuries any longer.

And the Floral Dress, only the last complete Wisteria Flowers suit remained.

’Tragic... too tragic...’

Li Chengyi finally understood firsthand how terrifying the Blind Spot was after hiding in Midlane for so long and facing heightened difficulty.

He felt strong himself, but what on earth did he encounter in this place?

The Mother of Emerald, the Divine Fire armored woman, the cataclysmic silver light storm...

Any one of these were disasters far beyond his current level of ability.

Frankly speaking, any one of these three brought to Earth-Moon would signify an apocalyptic level event.

The bright side was, with Paine’s guidance, he managed to obtain the Divine Fire Seal Ring during the chaos.

It was a replica of the one worn by the armored woman, seemingly specifically made for use with the Brilliant Boat.

Li Chengyi was now clutching a palm-sized golden ring in his hand. The inside of the ring had golden seals engraved upon it.

In the center of the ring, a large number from the Black Sea floated: 9.

"I’ve got it... this must be it, and now, I should be able to try and start the Brilliant Boat."

Li Chengyi promptly reversed his direction, heading back toward the Holy City within the Golden City.

Just when he might have truly been able to leave, his mind couldn’t help but flashback to... the Eternal Darkness Dragon Emperor that had been made into a specimen...

’Should I... get some samples?’

Although the Shadow Dragon Bloodline seemed increasingly mediocre, it was still one of the decent trump cards he had when he started from scratch. If he could elevate it to a high standard...

’Perhaps, I should first use the Reverse Mark here as a label...’ Li Chengyi pondered.

Reverse Mark was a reverse summoning technique of the Flower Language Technique, allowing him to return to where the Floral Bead host was, but his power was far less than the pull of the Blind Spot.

Without resistance, this ability could teleport individuals.

But once he completely detached from this Blind Spot, it meant he had no opposing force here. The Reverse Mark might just work...

With that thought, Li Chengyi flipped his hand, and an extra Floral Bead appeared.

The Floral Beads increased in number according to the Divine Flower Positions, so he still had spare Floral Beads to use.

’Just how should I use it so I can return here later?’
