Chapter 828: Flowers Under the Starry Sky!
Hong Hu died just like that.
Soul Flow and the other three generals all had some understanding of Fang Yu’s strength.
But seeing a comrade of considerable power killed with a single punch, they truly couldn’t believe it…
“You’d better attack together, otherwise watching your companions die one by one will be quite painful,” Fang Yu smiled.
At this moment, Fang Yu’s smile appeared especially cold and terrifying to this group of half-spirit race people!
Soul Flow’s heart sank to the bottom.
No matter what, directly confronting Fang Yu was now impossible.
The only option was… to avoid his sharp edge!
With his mind made up, Soul Flow immediately raised his right hand.
“Whoosh!”
A ball of black energy rose from his right hand, enveloping all four of them.
The black energy quickly dissipated, and the four people disappeared from their original position.
Fang Yu frowned, releasing his divine sense to detect subtle flows of true energy.
“Stop hiding,” Fang Yu said, while raising his right palm and launching a blast of true energy toward a position on his left.
“Boom!”
An explosion sounded in the air ahead.
One of the generals let out a painful groan, his form becoming visible as he repeatedly retreated backward.
He looked at Fang Yu, his eyes full of terror and panic, turning to flee!
“Swoosh!”
Fang Yu moved instantly, appearing before the general in a flash, blocking his escape route.
“I told you not to hide, yet you still hide?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and threw a punch at the general!
The general let out a loud roar, immediately retreating backward, trying to avoid the punch.
But what he didn’t expect was that just as he retreated one step, the golden-glowing fist followed, appearing right before his eyes!
“Boom!”
The general didn’t even have time to scream before his entire body, head and all, exploded completely!
Fang Yu’s expression remained unchanged.
For these half-spirit race people, he had no intention of showing any mercy.
If he could finish them with one punch, he wouldn’t use two.
“The other three…”
Fang Yu extended his divine sense several kilometers outward but couldn’t detect any auras.
Since Soul Flow cared so much about that flower, he definitely wouldn’t leave this place…
Or perhaps, if Fang Yu found the flower first, he could lure Soul Flow back…
Thinking this way, Fang Yu wasn’t in a hurry to search for Soul Flow, but instead returned to the original landing position.
Seeing Su Lengyun really sitting in the crater, Fang Yu was somewhat amused and said from mid-air, “Come up.”
Su Lengyun, seeing Fang Yu return so quickly, was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and flew to Fang Yu’s front.
“Brother Yu, have you… finished your business?” Su Lengyun asked.
“Not yet. We need to find a flower before others do,” Fang Yu said.
“A flower? What kind of flower?” Su Lengyun asked puzzled.
“I’m not sure about its appearance, but there shouldn’t be many other flowers in this place. Any plant that looks like a flower should be it,” Fang Yu said, turning to fly in one direction, saying, “Let’s go.”
Su Lengyun immediately followed.
…
Fang Yu and Su Lengyun circled the mountaintop twice.
During this time, Fang Yu also released his divine sense, searching the entire mountaintop.
He was so thorough that not even a small stone on the mountaintop was overlooked.
However, they couldn’t find any plant related to flowers.
There were trees and small grasses, but no flowers!
Fang Yu even scanned the cliff edges below the mountaintop, thinking the flower might be growing in the crevices of the cliff, but still found nothing.
It seemed there were no flowers on the entire mountain.
Could it be that Soul Flow was just making things up? Deliberately creating a smokescreen?
If that were the case, it would mean that from the beginning, Soul Flow knew of Fang Yu’s presence and deliberately said this in front of Fang Yu who was disguised as a small tree.
But this possibility was very small.
This could be seen from Soul Flow’s surprise when he later saw Fang Yu’s face.
But if Soul Flow wasn’t lying, why couldn’t they find the flower?
“Let’s stop for a moment,” Fang Yu halted in mid-air.
Su Lengyun also stopped and looked at Fang Yu.
“When we expend energy without results, we should use our brains,” Fang Yu frowned, stroking his chin.
Su Lengyun quietly looked at Fang Yu without speaking.
Through his divine sense detection, Fang Yu was quite familiar with the shape and outline of the entire mountain.
It was a top-shaped, inverted mountain.
In the outside world, such mountains that defy physical common sense don’t exist.
But in this kind of independent space, any law could be altered, making such a mountain possible.
However, logically speaking, building a mountain in this shape was quite strange.
Why build it this way?
According to normal understanding, a mountain should be wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, with the peak being the narrowest point.
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration hit Fang Yu, and he looked downward.
At the position where one would expect to see the pointed bottom, a layer of white mist floated, obscuring what was beneath, making it impossible to see the bottom clearly.
However, the area covered by the white mist wasn’t large, and beyond the mist, the ground was visible.
This would instinctively make one think that the ground was also where the mist was covering.
But Fang Yu knew that might not be the case!
“Since Soul Flow’s group came here to search for that flower, it means they believed the flower grew at the mountaintop position…” Fang Yu said, “From their perspective, this is the mountaintop.”
“But this mountain itself is inverted.”
“So, the true peak of this mountain should be the pointed tip below.”
Realizing this, Fang Yu immediately changed direction and rushed downward!
Su Lengyun was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.
The two rushed downward rapidly.
The mountain was about three hundred meters high, and with their diving speed, it took less than ten seconds for them to pass through the white mist.
Sure enough, the moment they passed through the mist, both Fang Yu and Su Lengyun felt the scene before them suddenly invert!
They had been diving downward, but suddenly they were floating upward!
The sky also changed.
Above was the pointed peak of the mountain, and above the peak was an endless starry sky!
Looking out, countless bright stars twinkled before them!
Without other reference points, this starry sky seemed right in front of them!
Su Lengyun looked at this starry sky, her eyes sparkling along with it.
Fang Yu was only stunned for a moment before immediately looking toward the peak.
From this position, he could already see a flower growing at the very tip of the mountaintop!
This flower had no stem or roots, just the flower part growing at the pointed tip of the mountain!
It seemed as if the entire mountain… was the stem of this flower.
There were three petals in total… each petal about the size of a palm.
The stamen in the middle of the petals was about the size of a fist.
Under the reflection of the starry sky, the flower emitted a faint blue light, radiating a unique beauty.
This flower seemed to have a magical power that attracted Fang Yu’s gaze.
Fang Yu stared at the flower for nearly half a minute before coming back to his senses.
By then, he had risen to the position of the mountain’s pointed peak.
He was now at the same level as the flower.
Fang Yu slowly flew forward, his gaze never leaving the flower.
When he was very close to the flower, Fang Yu reached out his right hand toward it.
His right hand soon touched the petal of the flower.
“Zing!”
The petal immediately emitted an intense light!
At the same time, memories of the past began flashing before Fang Yu’s eyes!
From his earliest memories, his parents, neighbors, some playmates… people whose faces Fang Yu had long forgotten, but now could see clearly.
The memories advanced rapidly like a fast-forward.
Fang Yu growing up, family changes, meeting Master Dao Tian, first visit to Tiandao Gate, first time practicing heart methods, first breakthrough in cultivation levels…
Those long-buried memories appeared one by one before his eyes.
Fang Yu watched like a bystander, silently observing the thousands of years of his past.
For him, it was a long process.
But in reality, these memories flashed by in just a few seconds.
“Brother Yu!”
Behind him, Su Lengyun saw Fang Yu’s body emit a dazzling golden light!
The intensity of the light was stronger than ever before!
“Boom!”
The image of a small golden dragon flew out from Fang Yu’s back!
Then, the image of a small fire phoenix flapping its wings also flew out!
The golden dragon and fire phoenix circled around Fang Yu!
Dragon flying, phoenix dancing!
Just as Su Lengyun was utterly shocked by the scene before her, the starry sky above suddenly emitted a deafening roar!
A huge pitch-black creature with blue-glowing eyes suddenly pounced downward!
Its target seemed to be Fang Yu, who was touching the flower!
The creature’s body was unprecedentedly huge!
As it pounced down, it was like the entire starry sky pressing down, leaving nowhere to hide!
