Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 801 We're doomed, we've provoked a Nascent Soul monster.
"Laojun, the materials are all ready. Shall we start the furnace?"

The phantom of Laozi appeared to the side, exuding an air of otherworldly grace. His gaze swept lightly over the pile of materials, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly. He stroked his beard and shook his head: "Young man, do not rush. To refine a superior elixir, one must gather the essence of heaven and earth. Although the quantity of your materials is considerable, their spirituality is mixed and the heat is insufficient. They are still missing a few key ingredients to harmonize yin and yang and activate the medicinal properties."

"What? Still need more?" Fang Yu's smile vanished, and he clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. "The drop rate in this crappy dungeon is just too pathetic. I've saved up this much by blocking the bridge and collecting tolls, and it's still not enough?"

Lao Jun's illusory figure snorted irritably: "These lack the pure spiritual essence nurtured by heaven and earth. Fine, so you won't have to go out and do those 'roadblock' things again. I will teach you the 'Spiritual Rhinoceros Medicine Guiding Technique'. Use this technique to observe this blessed land and you will be able to sense the hidden spiritual energy. Go and find it yourself. This place is full of spiritual beauty and must have what you need."

Before he finished speaking, a mysterious golden rune flew out from Lao Jun's fingertip and entered Fang Yu's brow.

In an instant, countless profound mysteries about identifying spiritual energy and tracing its source flooded into Fang Yu's sea of ​​consciousness.

Fang Yu closed his eyes and concentrated, his Rinne Sharingan slightly rotating beneath his eyelids, the nine tomoe seemingly responding.

After only a few breaths, he suddenly opened his eyes, a look of understanding flashing in them: "Oh? I see. Sensing the direction of the spiritual veins and capturing the dissipated spiritual energy? Interesting, it's almost like having a full-map vision cheat! Got it!"

He stood up, stretched, his bones cracking, his movements fluid and natural, as if the complex herb-finding technique was an instinct honed over many years.

A glint flashed in Laozi's illusory eyes. He paused in stroking his beard, and his tone carried an undisguised surprise: "Hmm, you were able to comprehend its essence in an instant? You truly are a worthy little monster."

"Basic stuff, don't be modest." Fang Yu grinned, showing no humility whatsoever.

He immediately activated the "Spiritual Rhinoceros Medicine Guiding Technique" he had just learned. His eyes flashed with golden light as his gaze swept over the exotic flowers and herbs, spiritual springs and jade soil within the cave, as if adding a special filter to the whole world.

About ten hours later, Fang Yu collected another pile of "trash" spiritual herbs.

Suddenly, his gaze locked onto a rock crevice near the edge of the cave where the spiritual energy was unusually active.

A cluster of orange-yellow objects, radiating a rich earth-elemental spiritual light and shaped like an infant's arm, was stealthily "wriggling" around the roots of several spiritual herbs!
The thing had a few thin, long roots on its head, which trembled as it moved, making it look exactly like a fat ginseng with legs!

"Holy crap?!" Fang Yu's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with astonishment. "It can really run? A ginseng spirit?! This is much rarer than any iron-backed pangolin cub!"

He could no longer hold back. His body moved like lightning, and he rushed over in one stride. His five fingers formed a claw, and with a determined force, he grabbed the few trembling "little tufts" on the top of the "ginseng spirit's" head with perfect precision!
"Heh heh, got you! Get him!"

Before Fang Yu's smug laughter could even fade, a sudden change occurred!

“Rumble——!!!”

The ground beneath his feet began to tremble violently without warning!
It was as if a sleeping behemoth had been seized upon!

An overwhelming force suddenly surged through those few "little tufts"!
Fang Yu felt a sudden weight on his hand, and a terrifying pulling sensation came over him, as if he was not holding a ginseng, but a chain connecting to the earth's veins!
He subconsciously channeled his spiritual energy to resist, and at the same time exerted a sudden force to pull upwards!
"Get up—!"

Tsk! ! !

Accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound, like tearing thick leather, the scene before him made Fang Yu's scalp tingle instantly!
Suddenly, the seemingly inconspicuous rock fissure cracked and expanded!
What he forcibly pulled out wasn't ginseng at all!

That orange-yellow "ginseng essence" was actually just a tiny, insignificant bump on the bud at the top of a gigantic, hideous, and terrifying flower!
At this moment, the giant flower, now completely enraged, was like a demon that had broken free from its restraints in the abyss of hell, displaying itself completely before Fang Yu's eyes, accompanied by flying dirt and pebbles!

The petals are as thick as a door panel, displaying a chilling mix of dark purple and scarlet, with serrated fangs along the edges. The center of the flower is not a tender stamen, but a terrifying, bottomless maw that swirls with viscous, dark green digestive fluid!
A pungent, nauseating stench instantly filled the air, replacing the original fresh and ethereal atmosphere of the cave.

Its enormous body, or rather its flower stems and roots? Deeply embedded in the ground, the part that is exposed is like a small, mobile fortress, blotting out the sky!
The "little tuft" that Fang Yu was holding at the top now looked incredibly small and ridiculous.

A giant man-eating flower!

And it was an unimaginably enormous behemoth!

The enormous petals suddenly opened to their limit, emitting a silent roar, and thick saliva dripped from the serrated fangs, corroding the ground and creating sizzling pits.

The deep, gaping maw was aimed directly at Fang Yu, as if it wanted to devour him whole, this ant who dared to offend the "tiger's whiskers"!
Fang Yu, clutching those pitiful few strands of hair, stood before the giant maw, feeling as insignificant as a speck of dust.

The novelty and smugness on his face had long since frozen, leaving only stunned astonishment.

"What the hell."

He swallowed hard, his lips twitching as he looked at the giant, man-eating flower that exuded a primordial, ferocious aura.

"This... a man-eating flower that ate the Golden Fertilizer? Hey, you've got it wrong, I'm not a zombie, don't look at me like that!"

Before he could finish speaking, the giant man-eating flower clearly had no interest in discussing the game with this bastard who was pulling its "hair." Its enormous petals suddenly snapped inward, carrying a terrifying force that seemed capable of crushing space itself, and a stench filled the air!

A nauseatingly sweet and pungent smell, a mixture of rotting flesh and strong acid, instantly filled the air, making Fang Yu almost vomit up all the Wallace he had eaten in his previous life.

Fang Yu's eyes turned cold, and his aura suddenly exploded!

"Thousands of thunders!"

Rumble——! ! !
The lightning was blinding, illuminating the entire cave as if it were daytime.

The deafening explosions reverberated repeatedly within the enclosed space, almost shattering eardrums!

The raging electric current, like billions of purple venomous snakes, frantically devoured every inch of the giant flower's "skin," emitting a chilling "sizzling" sound, and the air instantly filled with a strong smell of ozone.
A strange smell of burnt meat?

Smoke and dust filled the air, and the lightning gradually faded.

Fang Yu kept his arms outstretched, breathing slightly, a cold smile of "job done" on his lips, waiting to see this arrogant flower turn into a "grilled tyrant flower".

However, the smoke and dust dissipated.

Fang Yu's cold smile froze.

The giant flower was completely unharmed.

Its dark purple-red, thick petals, covered with fangs, were not charred or carbonized, nor did they bear even a trace of being "kissed" by lightning!

Still shiny and smooth, still menacing.

The giant, abyssal maw at the heart of the flower, swirling with dark green slime, even twitched defiantly, as if the devastating thunderbolts that had just struck it down were nothing more than a painless shower.

"What the hell?!" Fang Yu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Maxed out lightning resistance? What the hell kind of thing is this?!"

Before his CPU could even process the absurd "MISS" message, the giant man-eating flower gave an even more outrageous response with its actions—it was clearly very unhappy about the "shower" it had just experienced.

boom!
There was no warning, no prelude.

That enormous maw, seemingly capable of swallowing mountains, slammed shut a second time with a piercing shriek that seemed to tear through space, at a speed exceeding Fang Yu's limits in capturing dynamic visual perception!
This time, the distance was closer, and the killing intent was even stronger! The stench of blood and gore almost covered Fang Yu's face!
The chilling aura of death, like solid ice water, instantly drenched Fang Yu's spine!
Fang Yu's scalp was chapped!

A close call!
Flying Thunder God!
He activated his life-saving technique! All that remained of him was a terrifying afterimage of air being instantly crushed by the clamping pressure of the giant jaws!

Click——! ! !
A sickeningly loud, metallic, twisting sound exploded where Fang Yu had just been standing!

The force of the giant jaws closing together directly bit into a terrifying pit several meters in diameter, creating a hole in the tough jade ground and the rocks below!
Fang Yu's figure appeared on a protruding rock dozens of feet away. Cold sweat poured down his back instantly, and his clothes were soaked through, clinging to his skin and feeling icy cold.

"Hiss!" He gasped, looking at the deep pit, feeling a dull ache in his kidneys.

Before he could catch his breath, the ground beneath his feet stirred again!
Rumble——! ! !
It wasn't a tremor, it was a surging torrent! The solid earth seemed to have transformed into a boiling black ocean!

A colossal, breathtaking bulge, like a lurking prehistoric serpent, traverses the earth at terrifying speed. Wherever it passes, spiritual springs cease flowing, exotic flowers and rare herbs are uprooted, and the ground cracks and bulges inch by inch like a fragile eggshell!
The target was the stone platform where Fang Yu had landed!

Fang Yu was utterly shocked. This flower not only had maxed-out defense, but also such incredible movement speed?
He dared not linger any longer. With a push of his feet, he leaped out like a startled rabbit!

Almost at the same instant he left the stone platform—

boom! ! !
The location of the stone platform, along with a large area of ​​the surrounding ground, exploded as if a giant bomb had been detonated!

Amidst the scattering of rubble and mud, the gaping maw of the abyss, filled with fangs and dripping with viscous fluid, burst forth from the earth and snapped shut in the empty space once more!

The shockwave caused Fang Yu to stumble.

Click!

The sound of biting into nothingness carried a chilling anger and impatience.

"run!!!"

To hell with blessed lands! To hell with spiritual herbs and materials!
This place is nothing short of a den of monsters!
There's a man-eating, ruthless ancestor flower growing inside!
Fang Yu displayed a speed and survival instinct far exceeding his usual lazy demeanor.

He transformed into a human lightning bolt, using all his strength to frantically run towards the entrance of the cave!

boom! boom! boom!
Behind him, the earth seemed to be wildly churned up by an invisible giant plow!

The terrifying bulge pursued relentlessly, each burst from the ground accompanied by a deafening roar and a torrential downpour of debris. Fang Yu used "Flying Thunder God" as a teleportation technique, narrowly avoiding the deadly maw each time. It felt like he was tap dancing on the tip of death's scythe, and cold sweat never stopped.

"This is a flower?!" Fang Yu cursed inwardly as he ran, feeling like his lungs were about to explode.

Such a tremendous commotion was like dropping a nuclear bomb on a deathly, blood-red forbidden land.

All the disciples of the seven sects who were still "treasure hunting," fighting each other, or trying to explore within the forbidden area, no matter where they were hiding, felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.

"What's going on?!"

"An earth dragon has turned over?!"

"No! This aura...it's terrifying! Run!!!"

No explanation or confirmation is needed at all.

The instinct for survival overwhelmed greed, hatred, and the mission.

All the cultivators, whether they were enemies or fellow disciples before, made an unanimous choice at this moment—abandoning everything, using their fastest speed to burn their essence blood and transform into streaks of light, fleeing desperately towards the entrance of the forbidden area!
The scene was even more chaotic and frenzied than the panic buying of eggs during supermarket discounts.

Outside the Crimson Forbidden Zone, elders and disciples from various sects gathered in small groups, some conversing quietly, others resting with their eyes closed, awaiting their disciples' return laden with spoils.
The atmosphere was fairly peaceful, even carrying a hint of a once-every-five-years "social gathering".

suddenly!

Rumble——! ! !
Like muffled thunder rolling across the sky, or the roar of an ancient beast coming from the depths of the forbidden land!
Immediately afterwards, the stable spatial light curtain at the entrance to the forbidden area began to twist and ripple violently, like the surface of a lake to which a boulder has been thrown!
"What's going on?!" The elders from various factions changed their expressions drastically, stood up one after another, and instantly scanned the entrance with their powerful divine senses.

The next moment, the entrance light curtain burst open like a dam, and countless disheveled, pale-faced, and chaotic figures rushed out one after another!

As if chased by ghosts, they tumbled and crawled when they landed, many collapsing to the ground, pointing at the entrance to the forbidden area behind them, their lips trembling and unable to utter a complete sentence, their eyes filled with terror.

"Inside. Inside"

"The monster has such a huge flower!"

"Cannibalism."

The chaotic, incoherent shouts merged into a sea of ​​panic.

Before the elders from various factions could even sort out their thoughts from this sudden chaos, something even more terrifying happened!
boom--! ! !
A deafening roar, far more terrifying than anything before!

The spatial light curtain at the entrance to the forbidden area shattered like fragile glass!
Amidst the flying fragments of light and color, a massive shadow, so large it obscured the sky above the entrance, forcefully emerged, exuding an overwhelming aura of ferocity!
It was that giant, man-eating flower!

Its massive body seemed to lower the sky, its dark purple and scarlet petals like a giant sail soaked in blood, and its fangs gleamed with a cold metallic luster in the dim sunlight.

The swirling, dark green abyss of slimy sap at the heart of the flower exudes a nauseating, sweet-smelling stench and a chilling pressure that freezes the soul.

Its enormous roots, like countless twisted dragons, burrow deep into the ground, causing the earth to tremble when they move.

"monster!"

"Protect the disciples!"

The elders from each faction were shocked and furious, and reacted extremely quickly.

Without any command, countless dazzling sword lights, blazing fireballs, icy frost, and thick earthen walls, along with various magical treasures and spiritual lights, crashed down on the terrifying giant flower that had broken through the boundary like a spectacular fireworks display, carrying the immense power of cultivators!
The sword light was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, the fireballs could melt gold and iron, and the frost could freeze rivers! This was a concentrated attack from the top forces of the Yue Kingdom's cultivation world!
however--

Ding-ding-dong! Puff puff puff! Sizzle—!
Countless attacks, enough to severely injure or even kill Foundation Establishment or early Core Formation cultivators, landed on the giant flower's thick, wall-like petals, but only produced muffled sounds like metal clashing or mud sinking into the sea!
The sword light shattered, the fireball vanished, the frost dissipated, and the earthen wall was easily torn apart by its moving roots, as if it were made of paper! Not even a scratch was left!

All attacks were ineffective! It couldn't even pause its attack!
"What?!" All the elders who had made a move turned deathly pale instantly, their eyes filled with disbelief and horror.

Xiang Zhili, who had always mingled among the low-level disciples of Huangfeng Valley, with his neck hunched and eyelids drooping, looking like an old man who was "so scared," suddenly had a glint of light flash in his cloudy old eyes!
He stared intently at the giant flower, feeling the terrifying aura that almost solidified and exerted immense pressure even on his avatar. His withered lips moved silently, uttering a few words that only he could hear:

"A Nascent Soul cultivator with overwhelming pressure?! How could such a thing exist in this godforsaken place?!"

A storm raged in his heart.

The Crimson Forbidden Land, a mere small secret realm for Qi Refining stage trials, actually harbors a Nascent Soul level monster?!
This is completely mind-blowing!
Just then, a disheveled figure in blue, like a rabbit being chased by a dog, tumbled and crawled out from the waves of earth and gravel stirred up by the roots of the giant flower. It was Fang Yu.

His hair was disheveled, his newly changed blue shirt was covered with mud and grass, and his face was still pale and covered with fine beads of sweat, showing no trace of the composure he had when blocking the bridge at the auction house, or the arrogance he had shown in front of the spirit stone test.

"Fang Yu?!"

The disciples of Huangfeng Valley exclaimed in surprise.

The other sects, especially the disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, Tianque Fortress, and Spirit Beast Mountain who had been "taken care of" by Fang Yu in the forbidden area, were briefly shocked by this scene, but then an indescribable, twisted pleasure surged into their hearts!

"Ha! It's that villain in the blue robe!"

"He has today too!"

"Serves you right! Serves you right for stealing our spiritual herbs!"

"Being chased like a stray dog, it's so satisfying!"

The pent-up frustration and anger that had been suppressed for so long finally found an outlet at this moment.

Whispers of schadenfreude and undisguised laughter spread rapidly among the disciples of various factions like a plague.

Many people pointed at Fang Yu, who was covered in dust and had been chased away by the giant flower, and showed extremely relieved smiles. Some even whispered to their fellow disciples about Fang Yu's "glorious deeds" of "plucking feathers from a passing goose" and "being arrogant" in the forbidden area, which drew a chorus of sneers.

"This scoundrel has been ruthlessly robbing fellow disciples of their opportunities within the forbidden area, and has even murdered my Hidden Moon Sect disciples without cause! Yellow Maple Valley must give an explanation!"

A female elder from the Hidden Moon Sect looked at Fang Yu's disheveled appearance, a hint of pleasure flashing in her eyes. Then, she raised her eyebrows and shouted at Li Huayuan, the leader of the Yellow Maple Valley.

“That’s right! Our Tianque Fortress disciples have also been injured! This boy’s methods are ruthless, how is he any different from a demonic cultivator?” The elders of Tianque Fortress immediately chimed in.

"And my Spirit Beast Mountain."

"Blade Transformation Dock".

Immediately, public sentiment surged, with the blame pointing directly at Huang Fenggu and Fang Yu.

The elders from each faction looked at Li Huayuan with hostility and accusation.

Li Huayuan's face was ashen. He looked at Fang Yu, who was being chased to the brink of death by the terrifying giant flower, and then at the aggressive cultivators from various sects in front of him. He was both anxious and angry.

But what he was more worried about at the moment was that giant flower at the Nascent Soul level!
No matter how much of a scoundrel Fang Yu is, he is still the disciple he just "accepted" and a "genius" that Huangfeng Valley has only seen once in a thousand years!
"Gentlemen!" Li Huayuan suppressed his anger, his voice as cold as ice, "The most urgent matter now is that demonic flower! This fiend is no ordinary creature! As for Fang Yu's matter, once this matter is resolved, my Yellow Maple Valley will investigate thoroughly and give you all an explanation!"

He could only stall for time.

The giant flower is clearly relentlessly pursuing Fang Yu. The others are safe for now, but if they rashly try to rescue him... it's a Nascent Soul level monster! Even Li Huayuan himself isn't confident he can withstand a single blow! Who would dare to go up and deliver themselves to the enemy?
In this brief stalemate and amidst the gloating onlookers, Fang Yu had completely abandoned any tactical maneuvering, and only had one thought left—run! Run as far as you can!
He didn't dare turn around at all, putting all his strength into his legs, and using the "Flying Thunder God" technique to make short-distance dashes, he narrowly avoided the gaping maws and terrifying sweeping roots that burst out of the ground behind him time and time again.

Each dodge elicited a gasp from the onlookers, but more often they watched with a sense of "regret"—"Oh dear, it almost got bitten!"

Fang Yu's figure, under the watchful eyes of everyone—worried, angry, but mostly gloating—vanished into the depths of the desolate mountains, far from the entrance to the forbidden area and from the crowds.

Behind him, the colossal, man-eating flower that blotted out the sky, like a hunting dog in a famine, relentlessly pursued him. Its massive body crushed rocks and cracked the earth, carrying a terrifying, relentless momentum, rumbling and chasing after him, each step causing the earth to groan and tremble.

One person, one flower.

One fled in a disheveled state, like a stray dog.

One pursued relentlessly, like a world-destroying demon.

Two figures, one in green and one in purplish-black, appeared one after the other against the backdrop of the desolate, undulating mountains on the outskirts of the Blood-Red Forbidden Land. They grew smaller and smaller until they finally disappeared into the rolling dust and deepening twilight on the horizon.

All that remained was a desolate battlefield, a group of terrified cultivators with complex expressions, and the suppressed, vengeful laughter of disciples from various sects echoing in the wind.

Li Huayuan stared in the direction where Fang Yu had disappeared, his face so dark it seemed to drip water, his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.

The oppressive aura emanating from that flower made even a Core Formation stage cultivator like him feel palpitations.

This kid has probably kicked a real titanium alloy steel plate this time.

It's very difficult to find a complete corpse.
