Chapter 1269: Chapter 1268: The Tree Spirit’s Legacy, the True Flower of Death

A violent explosion resounded, and the entire space shattered like fragments of glass.

The water beneath turned void, the death flowers fully decayed the old tree and arrived here.

“No need,” Xu Zimei declined the Tree Spirit’s offer.

“If I can’t handle these death flowers, how can I stand against other Ancient Gods?”

“There are countless death flowers here, but they’re all grown from seeds.

There’s one death flower’s core here,” warned the Tree Spirit.

“If you control that core, you can manipulate the other death flowers through it.

But be cautious; the death flower is on par with my Heaven-reaching Tree.

Do not be careless.”

Xu Zimei nodded slightly. For others, finding the true flower among these hills of death flowers was nearly impossible.

But he had Traceless; the Compass could trace anything.

The giant death flower stared at Xu Zimei with a menacing blossom.

Xu Zimei narrowed his eyes, the Tyrant Shadow in his hand emitted infinite Blade Qi, piercing the blossom fiercely.

The death flower roared, its blossom had strong suction power, trying to fling Tyrant Shadow along with Xu Zimei away.

Xu Zimei snorted coldly, the powerful Power of Vows surged on Tyrant Shadow, a flash of blade pierced the flower’s blossom directly.

“Flame Principle,” he roared.

The blazing flames rose, enveloping and incinerating the entire death flower.

Yet this death flower was formidable, fearlessly continuing its destructive flames trying to decay Xu Zimei.

“Get off!” Xu Zimei stepped into the void, foot upon the flower, darting toward Rihua City.

The death flower ignored everything, even the Tree Spirit, relentlessly pursuing Xu Zimei.

Upon reaching the city’s central area, unable to step into the void, Xu Zimei leapt onto a tall mansion.

He gazed around, almost identical death flowers in full bloom across the city.

Traceless in his hand spun continuously, trying to seize a sliver of opportunity among the numerous death flowers.

The Compass spun faster, the Nameless aura wafted from Traceless.

All things in the world have no tales of traceless.

Among a myriad of objects, there’s always a glimmer left to the world.

As Xu Zimei searched, the giant death flower pursued him.

The petals spread wide, trying to envelop Xu Zimei, but the Heaven-Shaking Giant behind him stood forth.

The Giant fiercely grabbed the death flower, flinging it away.

Seeing this, countless death flowers’ aura intensified, the city suffused with death.

Above Xu Zimei, the Tree of Life’s pressure grew, its once lush leaves now wilting.

“Must hurry,” he murmured.

Manipulating the Compass, he ran through Rihua City, dodging the death flowers’ pursuit.

The Compass spun faster, eventually defying visual tracking.

As the giant death flower failed against Xu Zimei, a rain of petals descended within the city.

Millions of petals drifted from the void.

Wherever touched, endless decay and deathness penetrated through.

This penetration struck souls and Divine Souls with immense power.

Even the Tree of Life couldn’t withstand long, its leaves visibly withering.

“Damn it,” Xu Zimei with Tyrant Shadow in hand.

He feared not the true death flower, it’s just maddening to not locate its core.

Even if he destroyed thousands, it would be futile.

“I’ll block, you calculate,” Ju Mang’s Tree Spirit arrived from afar.

He told Xu Zimei, “I too am a dying tree, serving my lingering warmth.”

With his words, powerful life energy surged skyward.

The giant tree supporting Rihua City began to rise and tremble.

Buildings collapsed, a constant rumble filled the air.

“The Wood God reborn, death scatter,” the Tree Spirit murmured.

His tilted trunk revived, divine power burst from within.

It was as if the Heaven-reaching Tree rose connecting Firmament, forming a pillar of heaven and earth.

The life force transformed into torrential rain, each drop representing a life.

Completely shrouding death’s presence.

Behind the Tree Spirit, a shadow pierced the heavens, gazing at the Firmament, standing with a Way of Inquiry.

The shadow’s features were unclear, merely a green aura like that of Divine Spirits.

The entire city’s death flowers trembled.

A life force so powerful even death fears.

This was the final glory of Ju Mang, all his life energy.

The impact of its eruption was imaginable.

But suddenly, formations around Rihua City seemed to activate.

The roots of the death flowers connected, forming a vast pentagram pattern.

Within the pentagram, the roots became branches like cords.

Five roots emerged from the star’s corners.

These branches ascended, piercing the Tree Spirit’s body, attempting to drag him down from the pillar.

They fell into a struggle.

Xu Zimei could see the Tree Spirit’s life force was rapidly consuming.

He feared it wouldn’t last long.

At this moment, the Compass halted, pointing toward the true death flower’s location.

“Found it,” Xu Zimei rejoiced.

Summoning Chaos from the Divine Continent, he mounted its back, heading toward the death flower.

Along the path, countless death flowers tried intercepting.

But most were blocked by the Tree Spirit, while Xu Zimei was shielded by the Tree of Life.

In short time, they couldn’t harm him.

Chaos raced several hundred meters; Xu Zimei’s Compass slowly halted.

He looked up to see among the myriad of death flowers, one hidden at the core.

“It’s you,” Xu Zimei sneered.

Chaos roared, claws clearing the death flowers, as Xu Zimei reached to pluck, he discovered his fingers growing old the closer he got.

He sensed when truly touching the death flower, he’d rot and die entirely.

Briefly pondering, he drew the Heaven-reaching Tree sapling given by the Tree Spirit.
