Mutation! The Two-Headed Sun Man-Eating Flower

The Sun Man-Eating Flower, just as its name suggested, owed its strength to the word "sun."

There were many kinds of sun martial souls: Scorching Sun, Radiant Sun, Blazing Sun, Sun... (The original work featured many sun martial souls.)

The most famous and powerful among them was the Sun Moon Imperial Family's inherited martial soul, "Sun"!

Li Mingzhu found Douluo's depiction of the sun bizarre. The mighty sun was actually made of a mass of gas, and its temperature could not even match Ultimate Fire.

Nuoding Academy's library held an illustrated volume passed down from ancient times, which contained information on several super soul beasts.

The entries were all brief. When Li Mingzhu first read the abilities described there, he thought someone had dreamed them up. After all, how could little Nuoding Academy possess records like these?

The book contained only a few sparse entries:

"The Sun Man-Eating Flower's flames not only possess power approaching that of divine fire, but also contain a powerful explosive property. When Sunfire combines with this explosive property, its might can even surpass that of soul masters with divine attributes."

There was no need to think twice. This so-called divine fire was most likely the Ultimate Fire of later generations.

The recorded information was far from comprehensive, judging solely by the battle now unfolding between the two beasts.

The Sun Man-Eating Flower possessed formidable spiritual power; otherwise, she could not have struck her opponent's weak points so precisely. She was also highly intelligent.

The battle between the two beasts continued!

Before the Demon-Striped Tiger could bite his opponent, the fireballs spat out by the man-eating flower drove him back. There were too many of them. No matter how fast he moved, he still took hits.

The Demon-Striped Tiger was covered in corrosive venom. Once the fireballs touched him, the venom on his body blazed up like gasoline!

The flames were terrifyingly hot. In less than a minute, all the fur covering the Demon-Striped Tiger's body had burned away.

With no other option, the Demon-Striped Tiger howled in agony on the ground, trying to roll the flames out. It was utterly useless; the fire only burned fiercer.

Seemingly realizing these were no ordinary flames, the Demon-Striped Tiger activated Demon Tiger's Wrath again, using his berserk state to block out the pain of burning.

The Sun Man-Eating Flower was only a little over two thousand years old. After that barrage, her soul power was already all but depleted.

Now immune to pain, the Demon-Striped Tiger charged in, trading life for life and wound for wound.

With the wind element driven to its fullest, a pair of illusory Wings of Wind appeared behind the Demon-Striped Tiger. As they beat continuously, his speed multiplied in an instant.

Before the distant man-eating flower could react, the Demon-Striped Tiger hurtled toward her and clamped his jaws down. Those jaws could bite through refined iron, and they tore the Sun Man-Eating Flower's maw straight into two halves!

Plant soul beasts truly had tenacious vitality. Even with her head split in half, she refused to die, her remaining body still struggling.

The Demon-Striped Tiger cared nothing for that. His claws swung down viciously, striking to kill while she was weakened and forcibly tearing the Man-Eating Flower's body into several pieces. Seemingly finding an opening for a finishing blow, he gathered a ball of energy in his maw and fired it at her.

Although the attack struck squarely, the fallen man-eating flower did not die completely. Instead, she began convulsing violently on the ground. Her mangled body swelled, the roots beneath her thrashed madly, and crimson flame markings poured from her wounds, swiftly spreading over her entire body.

With a dull tearing sound, her original flower crown split to either side, and two hideous heads actually grew anew.

Her left maw burned with scorching flames, while her right surged with blazing, sunlike radiance. The two-headed man-eating flower slowly rose from the ground, her aura even more ferocious than before.

As he stared at the man-eating flower, who was as hard to kill as a cockroach, flames seemed to burn in the Demon-Striped Tiger's lone eye, despite his having no fire attribute.

Using Demon Tiger's Wrath merely cut off his sense of pain and slowed the burning a little. After such a prolonged battle, the flames had already reduced the Demon-Striped Tiger's entire body to a bloody mass of torn flesh.

If he could not finish the battle soon, he might very well die here!

Watching the two beasts fight, Li Mingzhu realized he had underestimated the Demon-Striped Tiger's age. Tiger-type soul beasts could only master Wings of Wind after reaching ten thousand years.

Li Mingzhu was also very interested in the Sun Man-Eating Flower's mutation. Was it an innate ability, or something else?

The Demon-Striped Tiger's wretched state filled Li Mingzhu with sympathy, but he still hoped the tiger could severely wound the Sun Man-Eating Flower.

He had now found a way to deal with the Sun Man-Eating Flower!

The Demon-Striped Tiger forced his body to keep fighting at close range. The flames burning ceaselessly over him left no room for a drawn-out exchange.

He attacked one of her man-eating maws directly, first sending Wind Blades slashing repeatedly into the same spot, then tearing at it savagely with both claws.

Bang-!

Just as the Demon-Striped Tiger was tearing at her, the other man-eating maw spat out a Sun Cannon.

Even though the Demon-Striped Tiger had been prepared, the Sun Cannon still pierced his right leg. But with his momentum, he tore one of the two-headed Sun Man-Eating Flower's heads clean off.

Without his right leg, the Demon-Striped Tiger could still maintain his speed using the wind element, but his agility had dropped sharply.

"Ah! Looks like this Demon-Striped Tiger is done for!"

Li Mingzhu sighed helplessly. He had wanted to reap the fisherman's reward while the other two fought, but now it seemed he would have to act early.

With the Ancient Void Dragon possessing him, he could use his domain to conceal himself within space, but he would have only two minutes. He had to shoot his Dragon Flame into the man-eating flower's mouth to stand a chance of winning.

The corrosive venom sprayed by the Sun Man-Eating Flower was produced by the soul power circulation system within her body and permeated every corner of her. In other words, all her bodily fluids were poisonous. Once ignited, they would all go up in flames.

Of course, unless the flames surpassed the quality of the Sun Man-Eating Flower's Sunfire, they could not ignite it at all. It was like crude oil in everyday life: trying to light it directly with a lighter would not work.

As luck would have it, Li Mingzhu's Dragon Flame was on the level of Ultimate Fire. All he had to do was breathe it into the Sun Man-Eating Flower's mouth, and he could burn her to ashes.

The Demon-Striped Tiger began another charge, while Li Mingzhu searched for an opening in secret.

Missing a leg, the Demon-Striped Tiger ultimately lacked agility. As soon as he closed in, the man-eating flower's regrown vines wrapped around him.

When he saw the Sun Man-Eating Flower open her foul-smelling mouth, Li Mingzhu immediately activated Martial Soul Possession, concealed himself within space, then used Airflight to fly toward her.

The Sun Man-Eating Flower's spiritual power was considerable. Seemingly sensing something approaching, she kept scanning her surroundings. But she found nothing suspicious, and with a formidable enemy before her, she could not afford distraction. A Sun Cannon began charging in her mouth, ready to finish the Demon-Striped Tiger in one blow.

With her mouth opened so wide, was she not handing Li Mingzhu his chance?

Li Mingzhu shot a mouthful of invisible, colorless Dragon Flame straight into the Sun Man-Eating Flower's mouth, then fled the battlefield at top speed and returned to his previous spot to watch.

Once the Dragon Flame entered the Sun Man-Eating Flower's mouth, it met the corrosive venom as though it had struck fuel, and flames roared to life. The venom throughout her body caused her to burn from the inside out.

Plant soul beasts feared fire. That was a law of heaven and earth; only the degree of their fear differed!

The Man-Eating Flower who wielded Sunfire had never imagined that one day, flames would torment her.
