Chapter 1016 - 1016 Continuous Battle

1016 Continuous Battle

Liu Yan continued to massacre the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, all the while placing their corpses into his storage ring.

Although these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had relatively low combat strength levels and couldn’t provide much combat experience to Liu Yan, they were still special monster plants. Liu Yan planned to use his SSS-grade talent, Divine Extraction, on their corpses to gain an increase in his spirit attributes.

Even though each Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower’s contribution to Liu Yan’s spirit attributes was minor, the cumulative effect of extracting from such a large number of them would lead to a significant boost in his overall spirit energy.

Hence, Liu Yan didn’t let a single low-strength Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower’s corpse go to waste. He stored them all in his storage ring to be extracted later using Divine Extraction, thereby enhancing his spiritual attributes.

Liu Yan had been traveling for some time and had reached the territory of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers deep within the Hallucinatory Forest. It was already afternoon.

Meanwhile, Liu Yan’s massacre continued from the afternoon until dusk.

As twilight approached, the sky turned orange and the forest dimmed.

Over these two hours, Liu Yan felt that he had likely killed over ten thousand ordinary Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

However, the sea of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers ahead was still endless.

It appeared that the large number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers he had killed earlier was merely a small portion compared to the overall total.

Liu Yan was somewhat surprised by this. The existence of such a vast number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers was truly terrifying.

Considering that Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were special monster plants, even Awakened of the same star-level combat strength couldn’t easily deal with them unless they had strong spirit energy.

Even higher-level Awakened would find dealing with these troublesome Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers extremely challenging. Facing a multitude of them would be even more difficult.

Liu Yan couldn’t help but ponder what a horrifying sight it would be if these countless Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were to leave the Hallucinatory Forest.

In all likelihood, entire territories would fall to ruin due to their assault, including the Origin Territory.

Even the Origin Territory wouldn’t be an exception.

Facing such an overwhelming attack by these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, Liu Yan could at best protect himself. He wouldn’t be able to safeguard all the members of the Origin Territory. The sheer number of these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers was too overwhelming, and their link with the realm was too massive.

Through their soul contract, the Withered Tree Spirit King understood Liu Yan’s concerns. It promptly reassured Liu Yan that the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers wouldn’t leave this place unless it was necessary.

After all, the unique environment here allowed them to continually grow stronger, which was of great significance to them.

Although Liu Yan had led the Origin Territory’s sharp knife squad to deal with numerous Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers previously, those encounters were trivial compared to the overwhelming numbers in the depths.

Thus, although the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers held a grudge against Liu Yan and the Origin Territory, it wasn’t a deep-seated one. At the very least, it wasn’t worth the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers leaving the Hallucinatory Forest to assault the Origin Territory.

Upon learning this, Liu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were to attack the Origin Territory, Liu Yan wouldn’t know how to handle the situation.

At the same time, a thought arose in Liu Yan’s mind. If these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers needed to remain in the Hallucinatory Forest to continuously grow stronger…

Could there be a special treasure within the Hallucinatory Forest that enabled them to continually enhance their strength?

This notion intrigued Liu Yan even more.

Able to facilitate the unceasing growth of such a vast number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, that treasure must be truly exceptional.

If Liu Yan could obtain such an artifact, especially one related to spiritual attributes, he believed that his power would undoubtedly experience substantial growth.

Liu Yan secretly noted this down and decided to search thoroughly once he entered the core area of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower congregation.

Meanwhile, Liu Yan’s hands didn’t cease their action.

Invisible arrows, formed from dark attribute elemental powers, kept appearing and were continuously released, efficiently slaying one Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower after another.

As dusk waned and the sky shifted from orange to black, darkness began to envelop the land.

However, at this moment, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

The Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers that had emerged around Liu Yan suddenly surged in power.

The Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers Liu Yan had encountered before were all common Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. They had combat strength levels ranging from 6 to 9 Stars and didn’t exceed 10 Stars in combat strengths.

The strength of the surrounding Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had suddenly increased. Not only did they break through to a 10-star level of combat strength, they became powerful Psychedelic Piranha Flowers with a 14-star combat strength.

However, after a brief moment of panic, Liu Yan immediately regained his composure.

Liu Yan intensified the gathering of his dark attribute elemental powers, still easily dispatching these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

Previously, one arrow feather could effortlessly eliminate a group of them, but facing these more powerful 14-star Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, the arrow feather formed from Liu Yan’s dark attribute elemental powers could only take down one.

However, Liu Yan increased his arrow speed and regained control of the situation.

After re-establishing control, Liu Yan couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly.

He hadn’t anticipated these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers to be so cunning. He had wondered before why they had allowed themselves to be slaughtered without any ambushes.

It appeared that it wasn’t because the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were refraining from ambushes, but rather they were intentionally delaying their ambushes.

These flowers had purposely waited until Liu Yan had eased his guard and the twilight had just ended, affecting his vision, to launch their surprise attack.

Opting to strike when Liu Yan’s guard was down after a long, successful battle and in an environment greatly advantageous to them, they launched their assault suddenly.

Fortunately, Liu Yan had never become complacent. Even though he had relaxed due to the smooth battle, he hadn’t truly let his guard down.

As for the darkness that followed the end of twilight, which could impact visibility, it hardly affected Liu Yan.

Liu Yan possessed the SS-grade skill, Extraordinary Five Senses, which granted him a tremendous boost to his five senses, including vision.

With dusk fading into darkness, most average Awakened would experience momentary visual impairment. But, this did not affect Liu Yan.

His SS-grade skill compensated for it all, enabling Liu Yan to easily counter the meticulously set ambush by the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

At this moment, Liu Yan faced the now significantly stronger Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. Although it wasn’t as effortless as before, he still managed relatively easily due to his overwhelming power.

Liu Yan’s movements quickened, dispatching the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers one by one, their corpses stored within his storage ring.

Whereas in the past, he might have missed some of the weaker Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers to maintain his pace and save time, he wasn’t overlooking anything now with these 14-star combat strength specimens. He meticulously preserved each one in his storage ring.

Under the cover of the night, Liu Yan’s battle remained unaffected. He pressed on.

The Withered Tree Spirit King felt some concern for Liu Yan. While the battle was currently proceeding remarkably well, a considerable number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were being eliminated by Liu Yan’s relentless onslaught.

Yet, more of these flowers awaited him.

Continuing the battle, Liu Yan would eventually exhaust his stamina and energy.

If that occurred, Liu Yan would inevitably fall victim to the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers’ tactic of overwhelming him with sheer numbers.

Upon learning of the Withered Tree Spirit King’s concerns, Liu Yan smiled faintly and reassured the Withered Tree Spirit King not to worry.

“Don’t worry, since I chose to break through into the core area of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers swarm, I’ve considered everything thoroughly. I was well-prepared for continuous combat. I have a way to rest, just not now.” Liu Yan assured the Withered Tree Spirit King.

With that said, Liu Yan resumed his battle.

Seeing Liu Yan’s confidence, the Withered Tree Spirit King might not have understood what methods Liu Yan could employ in this situation, but based on its previous understanding of him, it felt reassured.

In this manner, Liu Yan continued fighting into the late hours of the night.

At this point, he had been engaged in battle for almost six hours.

Managing the less powerful Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers earlier might have been relatively easy, with relatively minimal consumption.

However, confronting these 14-star combat strength Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers consumed a substantial amount of energy and physical stamina.

Even a 19-star Awakened would struggle to withstand such depletion.

If it were an ordinary 19-star Awakened, their stamina and energy would have long been depleted by now.

However, due to Liu Yan’s multiple enhancements, he was ahead in terms of stamina and energy.

After such an extended and intense battle, Liu Yan used less than half of his stamina and energy.

Liu Yan could even continue battling until dawn.

Yet, he was aware that the subsequent battles would likely be even more perilous. To err on the side of caution, he needed to recover his stamina and energy.

Without delay, Liu Yan activated his SS-grade skill, Elemental Domain.
