The Price of Blossoming
As the main battlefield, the battle raged like wildfire in Maple City. However, thousands of miles away in the Beast Region, the clansmen continued on with their normal lives.
Of course, they could sense something was amiss from the movements of their clansmen, but it wasn't enough to affect them.
Within the Dragon Clan, Xia Keke stood in front of the clan head, her hands behind her back as she listened to his nagging.
"I've heard so many of your heroic stories that my ears are about to grow calluses."
The familiar opening made Xia Keke collapse. In the year she'd been with the Dragon Clan, she'd had to listen to the old man's nagging every few days.
She pouted impatiently, then looked up at the sky.
"Huh?"
Xia Keke suddenly exclaimed in astonishment. She blinked and looked carefully for a while, then pointed at the sky and said to the old man, "It's not like that.
"Look, Grandpa, there are so many roses in the sky. They're so beautiful."
The old man was still nagging at Xia Keke for complaining about his nagging. When he heard her words, he glanced up at the sky. Just as he was about to continue nagging …
He couldn't avert his gaze.
"Black roses."
The old man's eyes flashed with solemnity as he stared fixedly at the distant roses.
"Grandpa, these roses are much more beautiful than your stories," Xia Keke giggled, only to discover that the old man wasn't cursing her like before ….
"Grandpa, I'm talking to you."
She glanced at Grandpa Sheng and saw his solemn expression.
"Grandpa, what's so special about those roses?"
"Alright, go back to your room and wait."
To her surprise, the old man, who usually liked having Xia Keke stay at his place, took the initiative to ask her to leave. In the past, Xia Keke had to sneak away when the old man wasn't paying attention.
This unusual development caused a trace of curiosity to appear in Xia Keke's eyes.
"Grandpa?"
"Go back!"
The old man's eyes flashed with a trace of dignity. Seeing that the old man was getting angry, Xia Keke stuck out her tongue and left. Before she could take more than a few steps, she heard the old man speak again.
"Tell your Second Uncle to come see me."
With that, the old man's gaze fell on the roses in the sky.
"Bloom! Hua Hai actually used this move. The situation isn't looking good!"
…
"Hua Hai actually used that move."
The people of the Beast Region and the Immortal Region couldn't help but arch their brows, especially Lin Xihe. When she saw the roses in the sky, her face filled with astonishment.
Bloom.
This was the final forbidden skill of Hundred Flowers Battle Technique. It required the five internal organs of the human body as the price of blooming. When five roses bloomed, the Spell Caster would die without a doubt. However, the Spell Caster would also be able to obtain an increase in strength that was dozens of times greater than the Spell Caster's current strength for a short period of time.
Given Hua Hai's current strength as a half-step Immortal King, his blossoming …
They would obtain strength close to that of a Heavenly Supreme.
"Sect Leader Hua."
Lin Xihe could not help but look at Li Jiayi. As the City Lord of Hundred Flowers City, her relationship with the Hundred Flowers Gate was naturally the closest.
She knew that Hua Hai treated Li Jiayi like his own child. He had even taught her the Hundred Flowers Battle Technique, which he had never taught to anyone else.
"Jiayi, my condolences."
"City Lord Lin, why do you say that?" Li Jiayi simply stared at the sea of flowers floating in the sky. "I'm not sad at all. Once Master has made his decision, no amount of sadness can change anything. The only thing I can do is make the Hundred Flowers Gate even stronger in the future Master created for me. "
When the others heard this, they couldn't help but be moved. They could sense Li Jiayi's determination from her tone.
They nodded inwardly, then one of the City Lords and Generals asked, "What should we do now?"
"What should we do?"
"What should we do?" Luo Wei glanced coolly at the speaker, then snorted. "Do what we have to do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and charged toward the Blood Zombies blocking their way. However, as he charged forward, he glanced briefly at the sea of flowers floating in the sky.
"Sect Leader Hua, your determination …. We've received it."
"I'll remember it even in the Infernal Realm?" As he flapped his wings, Jiangchen couldn't help but sneer. He smiled playfully, then shrugged. "Then I'd like to see just how dazzling your short-lived brilliance can be."
With that, Jiangchen put away his playful expression and tensed up.
Before the battle began, he could sneer at his opponent to sway his emotions, but in a real fight, he couldn't afford to be careless.
He'd heard of the Hundred Flowers Battle Technique.
Moreover, the few roses in the void gave him quite a bit of pressure.
"To what extent? I'll stare at you, and you'll remember it."
Hua Hai grinned viciously at Jiangchen. He no longer needed to worry about his demeanor. The moment he'd decided to take this step, he'd already made up his mind …..
It was time to truly go crazy.
Whoosh.
One of the five roses in the void slowly bloomed its flower bud. The black rose, which was as black as ink, completely opened its petals.
The instant the rose appeared, Jiangchen sensed that Hua Hai's strength had suddenly risen by a full level.
"Hmph."
However, as his strength increased, Hua Hai couldn't help but snort coldly. He furrowed his brows, and a barely noticeable trickle of sweat trickled down his face.
His spleen.
This rose corresponded to one of the five organs, the spleen. The price of its release was the destruction of his spleen.
"It hurts that much," Hua Hai muttered to himself. Hua Hai couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This is the first time I've felt my spleen shatter so clearly. But I'm used to it now. Besides, this level of improvement is no match for the Zombie King … … "
As he muttered to himself, a second rose bloomed.
A third rose.
A fourth rose.
At the same time the rose bloomed, he also gained the strength to challenge the Zombie Progenitor before him.
Jiangchen watched as Hua Hai's strength steadily increased. In the blink of an eye, Hua Hai had transformed from an ant to an opponent even he had to take seriously …..
He couldn't help but sigh in admiration at the talent of the creator of this spiritual technique.
"Not bad."
This was Jiangchen's affirmation of Hua Hai's strength, but it wasn't enough to intimidate him. The way he saw it, it wasn't enough.
The sea of flowers, however, stopped in its tracks. It did not bloom the final rose.
"You stopped?" Jiangchen couldn't help but arch his brows. "If you think you can defeat me with this level of strength, I'll have to disappoint you. The current you isn't as dazzling as you once were. "
