Although Chen Siyu focused all her attention on dealing with the Guardian Beast, her spiritual senses had remained alert to every movement around her. The instant Lingdie's expression changed and she prepared to launch a sneak attack, Chen Siyu keenly sensed something was wrong. Without revealing it, she secretly infused a thread of spirit power into the Five-Colored Ribbon, causing it to split off a stream of power while battling the Guardian Beast and silently curl toward Lingdie.
Thinking her scheme had succeeded, Lingdie suddenly produced a dagger glinting with cold light and viciously stabbed it toward Chen Siyu's back. At the critical moment just before the blade struck, the Five-Colored Ribbon coiled around Lingdie's arm like lightning. With a sharp tug, it tore the dagger from her hand and flung her aside.
"Why did you do this?" Chen Ruixuan glared furiously at Lingdie, his Slingshot aimed at her.
Lingdie fell to the ground, yet she remained unruffled. A savage smile appeared on her face. "Hmph, you two idiots, did you really think I would kindly help you? That Thousand-Year Spirit Flower is the key to my breakthrough. I originally planned to use you to obtain it, but I never expected you to see through me. But do you think this will stop me?"
As she spoke, Lingdie began chanting. The flowers in the Flower Sea shook violently, and even more vines glowing with eerie light burst from the ground, sweeping toward Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan. At the same time, the Guardian Beast seized the opportunity to attack again. It opened its gaping maw and spewed a blazing pillar of fire at the siblings.
Chen Siyu knew the situation was critical. While directing the Five-Colored Ribbon to block the flames and vines, she shouted, "Brother, ignore Lingdie! Deal with the Guardian Beast first!" Chen Ruixuan nodded and focused all his energy, firing several Spirit Power Pellets in succession at the Guardian Beast's vital points—its eyes, throat, and other weak spots.
Enraged by Chen Ruixuan's attack, the Guardian Beast temporarily abandoned its fire attack and instead swiped its massive claws at him. Seizing the moment, Chen Siyu pulled the Five-Colored Ribbon free from the vines. It transformed into a tough barrier in front of Chen Ruixuan. The claws struck the ribbon with a piercing screech, but bolstered by immense spirit power, the Five-Colored Ribbon forcibly withstood the blow.
At that moment, Chen Siyu rapidly considered a way to respond. She suddenly recalled the Chaos Spirit Rhinoceros Technique she had obtained in the Mysterious Ruins. It contained a technique that could briefly control the spiritual energy in the surroundings. She decided to take the risk, concentrating her mind and drawing upon the chaotic spiritual energy within the Flower Sea.
With Chen Siyu's efforts, the chaotic spiritual energy permeating the Flower Sea began to stir. It gradually gathered around her, forming a massive vortex of spiritual energy. Chen Siyu shouted and unleashed this powerful chaotic spiritual energy toward the Guardian Beast and Lingdie.
The chaotic spiritual energy surged like raging waves, instantly engulfing the Guardian Beast and Lingdie. Under the impact of the spiritual energy, the Guardian Beast let out a pained howl, its body swaying unsteadily. Lingdie was also struck so hard that she coughed up blood. The savagery vanished from her face, replaced by fear.
"No, impossible... How can you possess such tremendous power..." Lingdie cried in despair.
Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan ignored Lingdie's cries and continued pouring out chaotic spiritual energy. Under their all-out assault, the Guardian Beast finally could not hold on any longer. It crashed to the ground and dissolved into a streak of light. Lingdie, too, lost all ability to resist under the onslaught of chaotic spiritual energy and collapsed on the ground.
After resolving the crisis, Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan went deep into the Flower Sea and successfully found the Thousand-Year Spirit Flower. Looking at the spirit flower, which radiated a gentle glow and contained powerful spirit power, Chen Ruixuan asked curiously, "Sister, what do we do now? Lingdie also said she would lead us through the Flower Sea and tell us clues about chaos."
Chen Siyu smiled faintly. "She had malicious intentions, so naturally we cannot trust her. But now that we have obtained the spirit flower, perhaps it can help us find our own way through the Flower Sea and uncover the secret of chaos." Thus, the siblings began studying the Thousand-Year Spirit Flower, trying to find clues that would allow them to continue onward...
