Man-Eating Flower
Lu Qing'an indeed couldn't detect the thing hidden in the shadows using his Divine Sense. It seemed to have blended perfectly into the environment, remaining completely still. Unless he used a powerful attack to destroy the surroundings, there was no need for that.
This thing must be guarding that Divine Crystal. As long as he gets close to the Divine Crystal, this thing will definitely appear.
He walked toward the Divine Crystal at the deepest part of the cave.
The Divine Crystal, about the size of a head, was a dark, blood-red color. Its surface was uneven, like solidified Lava, while its interior was filled with liquid gold-like patterns of light.
At the core of the crystal lurks a vibrant crimson aura, as if sealing away some ancient life force.
Whenever the light flows, fine golden lines appear on the surface of the crystal, pulsating slightly like blood vessels.
Even more bizarrely, there was a nebula-like vortex slowly rotating inside the crystal, and the energy fluctuations it emitted distorted the surrounding air into a crimson mist.
The edges of the entire crystal were covered with tiny spatial cracks, and even light that touched them would be swallowed up and left as a dark red afterimage.
This was yet another Divine Crystal Divine Crystal unlike any he had ever seen.
He took a step forward, and in the next instant, he was already ten feet away from the Divine Crystal.
Upon seeing this, Liu Xiyue and the others' hearts began to race.
That thing should be appearing soon!
really.
As they were thinking this, a chilling scream suddenly rang out in the cave, echoing in all directions.
The powerful sound waves caused a sharp pain in the eardrums of Liu Xiyue and the others, who were even outside the cave!
They quickly used Demonic Qi to seal their ears, and their expressions became extremely serious.
It's here!!
Lu Qing'an narrowed his eyes slightly in the face of the strange cries coming from all directions, remaining unaffected, as he had already subtly enveloped himself in a layer of Demonic Qi.
This is a special kind of Devil Cultivation Method that others cannot see.
He glanced around but still couldn't see what was hidden, so he ignored it and reached out to pick up the Divine Crystal.
At this very moment.
With a whoosh!
An extremely fast figure flashed past, heading towards Lu Qing'an at an incredibly terrifying speed.
The speed was so fast that Liu Xiyue and the others watching from outside couldn't help but swallow hard!
Even faster!!
only.
Just as the thing was about to pounce on Lu Qing'an, Lu Qing'an spread his five fingers wide, and the vast Demonic Qi instantly condensed into a giant black hand. With a casual grab, the Demonic Qi hand had already seized something.
At this moment, everyone finally saw clearly what it was!
It turned out to be a monster mutated from a man-eating flower!
"So it's a man-eating plant."
Lu Qing'an coldly watched the Ominous Living Being writhing and twisting.
It has a humanoid torso, but is topped with a huge, rotting man-eating flower head, the edges of its petals covered with serrated teeth, constantly dripping foul-smelling slime.
The gaping maw was filled with human remains and some congealed blood, and with each opening and closing, it spewed out a nauseating Blood Qi.
Its body is made up of countless vines wrapped with blood threads, and its surface is covered with festering pustules.
At this moment, hideous demonic patterns appeared on the surface of Lu Qing'an's demonic hand, and he precisely gripped the monster's neck.
The man-eating flower's head struggled frantically, spewing out corrosive venom, but it turned into blue smoke and dissipated the moment it touched the Demonic Qi.
The blood vines that tried to entangle the demonic hand withered and broke upon contact, while undigested human bone fragments from the monster's mouth fell like raindrops.
Seeing that it could not break free from Lu Qing'an's control, the man-eating flower, which had transformed into Ominous Living Being, suddenly exploded into a cloud of thick fog with a bang.
The thick fog seeped into the void, and in the blink of an eye, it seeped out from the void a dozen feet away, and in an instant, it reassembled into its previous form.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qing'an narrowed his eyes slightly.
As the man-eating flower's dense fog coalesced into a physical form, he saw a red Divine Crystal the size of an egg flash across the other's chest.
"No wonder it's much stronger than that Earth Soul Flame; the Divine Crystal is actually this big."
It's likely that the Divine Crystal was larger before the man-eating Divine Crystal fused with it; in any case, the man-eating flower's strength is now close to that of the Cold Crystal Forbidden Land.
but.
In his eyes, this level of ability was no different from that of a child.
That escape method they used just now was quite something.
However, there was only a little bit of it.
The man-eating flower stared at Lu Qing'an from a distance, emanating terrifying magical power. Then, it opened its mouth wide and let out an extremely heart-wrenching roar.
A powerful sound wave swept towards Lu Qing'an.
"So noisy."
A red light flashed in Lu Qing'an's eyes, and the next moment, a barrier suddenly appeared around the man-eating flower.
The moment this barrier appeared, countless other barriers sprang up in a frenzy.
In the blink of an eye, there were already more than ten of them stacked up!
It can be confirmed that this man-eating flower, which has transformed into Ominous Living Being, possesses the ability to escape into the void. In that case, we should use the same methods we use to deal with those extraterrestrial souls to deal with this man-eating flower.
The moment these barriers appeared, the sonic attack launched by the carnivorous plant was instantly blocked, and the powerful sonic attack was absorbed by the plant itself.
The shock caused its own body to tremble and fall off.
It quickly withdrew its attack and then unleashed a barrage of attacks to crash into Lu Qing'an's barrier.
However, to its despair, these barriers were too powerful!
No matter how hard it tries to crash into it, no matter what methods it uses, it cannot budge it even a fraction!
The difference in strength is starkly evident here!
Lu Qing'an flashed to the front of the barrier and sneered.
At that moment, he noticed the man-eating flower trembling violently, as if sensing the approach of death, and he shuddered in fright.
An aura of fear permeated the air.
Lu Qing'an clearly felt the fear emanating from the man-eating flower.
He paused for a moment.
"Having massacred so many people, you're actually afraid of dying?"
A thought suddenly struck him, and he decided not to kill the man-eating flower that had transformed into Ominous Living Being.
It seems to have a surprising use!
"I'll spare your life for now, but you still need to bring me that Divine Crystal."
He stretched out one hand and inhaled; the next moment, the Divine Crystal from the carnivorous plant's chest burst forth, flew out of the barrier, and landed in his hand.
Hefted the egg-sized Divine Crystal in his hand, Lu Qing'an in satisfaction, then put it away and also stored the man-eating Divine Crystal and the barrier into his spatial treasure.
After finishing, he looked at the last Divine Crystal.
Both Divine Crystal were small, but this one was the most substantial.
He took a step forward and, in the blink of an eye, arrived before the Divine Crystal, which was the size of a head.
Just as he reached out to pick up the Divine Crystal, something strange happened!
With a whoosh, the entire Divine Crystal vanished from its spot!
Lu Qing'an's expression changed.
"Huh? This thing has developed intelligence?!"
In that instant, he sensed the fluctuations of a soul within that Divine Crystal!
This thing seems to have transformed into Ominous Living Being!!
"But! You think you can escape?"
