Chapter 573: 526 ends Six

"Immortal, huh?" Li Chengyi exhaled lightly. His expression beneath the helmet furrowed slightly.

It was going to be difficult....

In the distance, amidst the red glow, a new dark red humanoid form rapidly condensed and the complete figure of the Faceless Scholar emerged once more.

Indeed, as he had stated, as the original entity, he possessed absolute immortality here.

And.... the same attack probably wouldn’t be much use a second time....

"Troublesome...." By now, Li Chengyi had basically gauged the extent of his opponent’s abilities.

The same attack, the second offensive would be greatly weakened.

While he was not as strong as the Faceless Scholar in his prime that Li Chengyi had encountered before, he was now close to a perfected form.

He turned to look at the increasingly dark, gigantic fissure behind him; the blackness in the fissure had completely dyed the sky pitch black.

After realizing that the black snow could harm life, he had been suppressing himself.

Up until now, he had not fully donned the complete Divine Flower Garment, nor had he unleashed all his strength.

It was precisely because he realized that the calamity that froze everything was caused by him that he dared not wear the Divine Flower Garment in full.

Because.....

Such a version of himself... was indeed too powerful....

Upon merging with the Twelve Floral Languages, the Divine Flower Garment produced two abilities aside from its equipment and weaponry.

The first was the Crown of Ultimate Evil, which could absorb any evil intention and turn it into its own defense; the stronger the malice, the stronger the protection.

The second... was the notorious... Evil Soil!

The moment he fully donned the Divine Flower Garment and displayed the stature of the Emperor of Flowers, the environment around the emperor would naturally deteriorate and be completely transformed into the Primordial Soil environment, irreversible. Every creature on the Primordial Soil would undergo severe degeneration, losing themselves, twisting both body and mind, becoming pure derivatives that knew only slaughter and destruction.

Originally, Li Chengyi planned to use the transparent fusion state also available in the Divine Flower Garment to deal with Huo Qingkong, and in this way, avoid the spread and contamination of the Evil Soil.

Unfortunately.... it still failed.... The opponent’s immortality exceeded his expectations.

Red light once again spread from Huo Qingkong’s body, trying to dye the pitch-black world with a touch of its own color.

Swish!!

Instantly, the transparent blur on Li Chengyi’s body dissipated.

"Sorry..... for the sake of preserving everything...."

He released the Golden Sword in his hand, letting it disperse into countless golden petals.

A huge disc marked with twelve different floral patterns slowly emerged behind him.

The white cloak rustled loudly, its silver-edged rim gleaming as it waved in unison with his flowing silver hair.

Swish!

All of a sudden, Li Chengyi raised his right hand towards the sky.

"Primordial Soil!" he bellowed.

Boom!!

A dazzling silver-white light, brilliant as the sun, fell from the sky, connecting heaven and earth, illuminating everything thoroughly.

The light fell into his hand, forming a silver sword too bright to look directly at, ablaze with fire.

At this moment, the burning light of the sword’s edge overwhelmed all surrounding light, becoming the sole color.

This was the one and only weapon of the Emperor of Flowers — Primordial Soil.

The armor upon his body, the Divine Flower Garment, was the emperor’s one and only defense — Royal’s City!

The power of each was connected to the real Primordial King City.

That ancient land, which had long since become ruins and remnants, now echoed the sounds of the divine era from the depths of the Black Sea as it responded to the call of the Divine Flower Garment.

A strange but holy music accompanied by countless praises descended from the heavens and resounded throughout Panguang.

"Freeze...."

Li Chengyi, wielding the Primordial Soil Sword, aimed at the Faceless Scholar and slashed downward.

Swish!!!

Silver-white sword light suddenly swept down, slicing the sky, slicing the earth, slicing right through the center of the Faceless Scholar’s body.

Everything, in the moment the sword fell, came to a complete stop.

Time seemed to freeze entirely.

The wind halted, the light halted, and the Faceless Scholar’s maniacal smiling visage, along with the numerous heads on his body, all paused as if the pause button had been pressed.

Even the red and silver True Fire on his body maintained its burning posture, utterly motionless.

The silver sword light passed over his body, cleaving the earth. It extended to the infinite horizon.

In the Black Sea...

The immense Panguang Blind Spot continued to gulp and swallow the essence of everything that passed by.

The massive body of the Blind Spot, for millions of years, had been repeating this action day after day.

At that moment, a point of silver light came to life on its left side.

The silver light brightened rapidly, growing from a tiny sesame seed size, swiftly expanding and elongating into a thin silver line that silently sliced through the upper left portion of the Blind Spot.

Hisss!

A large chunk of the Blind Spot’s edge was instantly cut off and separated, trailing debris, it slowly drifted towards the distant Black Sea.

The Panguang Blind Spot emitted a pained wail as a third of its volume was forcefully severed by that sword strike!

The Blind Spot struggled, extending countless translucent dark red tendrils that turned into thread-like smoke, flying towards the source of the silver light, attempting to completely expel it.

But the damage was far from over.

Where the silver light had cut through, large patches of black patterns began to spread over its body.

That was the corruption of the evil soil... the Evil Soil began to take root and sprout here, becoming eternal damage, transforming the world.

"The attack of the Primordial Soil will never dissipate... It is the sword of eternal existence, and the damage attributes attached to it are determined by the types of Flower Language Ability."

Li Chengyi, holding the Primordial Soil Sword, naturally had information about the Evil Flower surface in his mind.

The corrupting pollution of the Evil Soil was unavoidable; it was a natural disaster triggered by its own existence.

It was not the intentional act of the Evil Flower, but wherever it presented its complete form, it would cause everything around it to deteriorate.

Just as the previous Emperor of Flowers had said.

’Only the purest of ugliness can nourish the most beautiful flowers.’

"Is this what it means, ’where I am, there can be nothing more beautiful than me’?"

Li Chengyi felt a connection.

Indeed... if everything around oneself is made ugly, then the unchanged self would definitely be the most beautiful.

The Evil Flower... truly is sinister beyond comparison.

No wonder the previous Emperor of Flowers was besieged. Fortunately, this power fell into my hands.

At this moment, the Primordial Soil and the Divine Flower Gourmet quickly dispersed, vanishing.

The dark cracks in the heavens and the earth also dissipated along with them, and the surrounding light brightened rapidly. The sun’s rays illuminated the earth, bringing light back to everyone’s sight.

The recent battle was too violent and chaotic; aside from the Holy Spirit Taoist and the True Fire Powerhouse Qingyang who were somewhat aware, none of the others felt it. They only saw the world turn pitch black, then a silver light shone brightly in the darkness, and the Faceless Scholar was struck by a sword, frozen in mid-air without moving.

And then everything returned to normal. The red light vanished, the darkness vanished, as if everything had been restored to its original state.

The Faceless Scholar floated quietly in mid-air, his state completely frozen at the moment he had revived.

His secondary weakening trait had no time to take effect before the freezing power fully and instantly took control of his time.

As the Primordial Soil Sword, which fused all the Flower Language Abilities, its freezing ability originated from the Flower Language Technique’s Seal of Love.

It was just an enhanced version of the seal.

After calculating the difference in lifespan, the value had to be multiplied by ten. How much time exactly, Li Chengyi was unclear, but even at the minimum, if his lifespan was not longer than the other’s, it would forcibly freeze for ten years.

For ten years, if not retrieved, the Faceless Scholar would hang suspended here, turning into a landmark, stiff and immovable, untouchable.

"It seems I have won... this world, after all, has been pulled back from the brink of destruction by me..." Li Chengyi sighed, relieved.

He now suddenly understood why most of the Black Sea bigshots wandered and lived in the Black Sea rather than within the Blind Spot.

Just now, with the slight donning of the Divine Flower Gourmet, this Blind Spot almost became completely corrupted, turning into eternal frozen soil, devoid of all life.

Would the mere shockwaves be enough to destroy the Blind Spot countless times if he really fought with a strong opponent of the same level.

At this moment in the sky, the original sea of trees on the ground had completely disappeared, replaced by a huge and deep canyon.

The landscape was permanently changed; perhaps future generations would give it a name like Heaven Sword Gorge.

Li Chengyi flew in front of the Faceless Scholar and reached out with a tap.

Immediately, the Faceless Scholar shrank, turning into a golden orb that flew into his palm.

He couldn’t possibly leave the other here; otherwise, once the ten-year seal ended, the world would be finished.

It was better for him to take him away himself.

Tucking away the orb, Li Chengyi turned to look at the Faceless Sword Sect’s dwellings.

The place was a mess, with big hollow pits everywhere, and most of the buildings had collapsed into ruins. Of the hundred-plus disciples, only about thirty remained in place, maintaining the barely functioning array of lights.

In front of the Faceless Great Hall, the sect leader, the Holy Spirit Taoist, was ashen, with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. Of the remaining six elders, only three, including Kui Ling, were left, all pale as death, clearly severely injured.

Li Chengyi sighed lightly, the Divine Flower Gourmet’s boost to him was too strong, all his physical attributes increased by a thousand times at the upper limit.

Also, the attack of the Primordial Soil Sword possessed the terrifying effect of eternal freezing. Not only that, in that brief instant, he had only worn the Divine Flower Gourmet for a moment, and the pollution of the Evil Soil turned the surrounding thousands of miles into evil soil.

Nothing seems out of place now, but in the future, the troubles of the evil soil will gradually become apparent.

’Good thing no one knows it’s my passive ability, I’ll just say it was the work of the big brother.’

A thought flashed through Li Chengyi’s mind.

"After all, the Faceless Scholar won’t speak up, and with the world almost resetting, I suppose he wouldn’t mind bearing some blame," he reasoned.

Having thought of an explanation, Li Chengyi dispersed his Dragon Transformation and donned only the lower half of the Wisteria Floral Dress to cover his vitals, then flew towards the Faceless Sword Sect.

Having thoroughly defeated the Faceless Scholar, he could already feel an invisible repulsion from the heavens and earth.

No doubt this was his Blind Spot reward for saving everything.

Li Chengyi felt content in his heart.

Just as he was about to use Shadow Flash, suddenly a voice sounded in the depths of his heart.

"Bai Lu, even though I wasn’t really conscious just now, this isn’t quite right..."

Li Chengyi’s expression stiffened.

Was it Huo Qingkong!?

He couldn’t possibly... The freezing seal of the Primordial Soil couldn’t have been flawed!!?

"It’s not that there’s a problem with your ability; that force clearly froze the world-ending avatar within me, but it had no impact on me. Just my body is sealed, and I can’t move now," Huo Qingkong sighed.

"Sorry... I overestimated myself..." he intoned deeply. "Luckily you acted in time, managing the situation without causing much harm."
