Chapter 250: Little weakling, I am going to crush you alive!

At this moment, Ye Bai had already approached the Taiji Yin-Yang Lotus.

The closer he got to the Taiji Yin-Yang Lotus, the more unpredictable the patterns in Ye Bai's pupils became, and even his heart was thumping wildly.

The Life Essence in the lake was rapidly surging into the Taiji Yin-Yang Lotus, and it was gestating at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, a rich fragrance wafted out from the petals of the Taiji Yin-Yang Lotus.

This intensely rich, exotic fragrance instantly invigorated Ye Bai's spirit.

The petals rapidly fell off and withered, and two lotus seeds, each the size of a longan, shot into Ye Bai's pupils.

The patterns in his eyes underwent continuous transformation.

Blood seeped from his eye sockets and dripped into the lake.

His Insight Eye was undergoing its next transformation.

Finally, the patterns in his eyes turned into the shape of a lotus flower.

At this moment, he could see even more clearly; he could even see the specks of dust remaining in the air.

He could even see the mites appearing on the dust clearly.

His Insight Eye had been upgraded once again.

At this time, two beams of light, one black and one white, plunged into the depths of the lake, tearing through the mist like sharp blades.

Ye Bai discovered that at the bottom of the lake, there was a section of lotus root that was crystal clear and jade-like.

It was just that one half of this lotus root was pure white and flawless, while the other half was as dark as ink.

"Space Pelican, fish that jade root up."

Ye Bai said this to the Space Pelican.

The Space Pelican immediately opened its mouth, and large amounts of Life Source Liquid were sucked into its space pouch by the Space Pelican as if it were a whale swallowing water.

After the Mandrake Emperor absorbed a large amount of Life Source Liquid, it finally evolved into a Tier 5 Shennong Ginseng.

Leaves like emerald jade appeared on top of its head, and strings of crimson Sakura Pearls hung among them.

Every one of these Sakura Pearls had the effect of saving a life.

A person who is severely injured and dying only needs to hold a Sakura Pearl in their mouth to hang onto their last breath until reinforcements arrive.

The body of the Shennong Ginseng, Bailuo, was earth-yellow at this time, emitting a jade-like glow.

It felt that its power had surged at this moment.

The Shennong Ginseng was finally going to shake off the enslavement of the Sunflower Emperor.

It was born uninhibited, unrestrained, and loved freedom.

"Hahaha."

The Shennong Ginseng transformed into the form of a Six-Armed Asura, and it floated up from the Life Source Liquid.

Its massive roots pumped the Life Source Liquid like a water pump, turning it into a part of its body.

"Hahaha, I have finally evolved into a Tier 5 Shennong Ginseng."

"The me of now is no longer the me of before."

"Little weakling, I am going to crush you alive!"

The Shennong Ginseng glared at the Sunflower Emperor; it stretched out its massive hands, wanting to crush the Sunflower Emperor alive to vent the hatred in its heart.

The past self did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and was reckless, which was why it had suffered such tribulations.

But the current self had completely awakened, and it would become a supreme king.

First, it had to erase this dark history of being enslaved by the Sunflower Emperor.

The Sunflower Emperor tilted its head, revealing a cute and dazed expression; it did not know why Bailuo dared to resist it.

Did it not know that it had also reached Tier 5?

The Sunflower Emperor could be said to be an existence invincible among its own tier, and Bailuo had always been its defeated opponent.

"Die!"

Bailuo's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins, the corners of its mouth lifted slightly; it was finally going to be liberated.

The six fists of the Shennong Ginseng smashed heavily toward the Sunflower Emperor, the fists emitting white light and forming gusts of fist wind.

As a result, the Sunflower Emperor extended a leaf and blocked the Shennong Ginseng's attack with extreme ease.

A-da, a-da.

The surface of the lake behind the Sunflower Emperor burst open instantly.

A massive column of water roared into the sky.

The pupils of the Shennong Ginseng widened.

"How can this be? Why are you completely fine? You actually caught my fist shadows?"

"Why, why, why!"

"Could it be that you have already broken through to Tier 5?"

While the Shennong Ginseng was still loudly questioning, the leaf of the Sunflower Emperor clenched into the shape of a fist and swung toward the eyes of the Shennong Ginseng.

"Don't hit the face!"

"Stop it!"

"No, don't!"

Ten minutes later, the bruised and swollen Shennong Ginseng was completely docile; it felt the massive gap between itself and the Sunflower Emperor.

This gap was like the difference between heaven and earth; the Shennong Ginseng suddenly had the illusion that it would never be able to shake off the Sunflower Emperor.

It knelt on the ground, its whole body burning with pain; only then did the Sunflower Emperor let out a long sigh of relief.

It had been a long time since it had exercised, and this time it felt completely satisfied.

The Shennong Ginseng sobbed, "Ying ying ying," now docile, begging to be let go.

Ye Bai's eyes had already seen the data of the Shennong Ginseng.

"Bailuo, why are you acting up after just one day without a beating?"

"If you advance, the Sunflower Emperor will also advance."

"Is your skin itching? Have you gotten used to being abused?"

Ye Bai let out a long sigh.

"Quick, help me see what this is."

The Space Pelican held the black-and-white jade lotus root in its beak and asked the Shennong Ginseng.

"This is the Yin-Yang Jade Lotus Root; it can increase a Pet Beast Master's mental power and open up a Contract Slot."

"Moreover, this newly opened Contract Slot will not restrict the power of the contracted Pet Beast."

"For example, if you are Fifth Order, you can contract a Sixth Order Pet Beast."

The Shennong Ginseng explained honestly.

"This is indeed a good treasure."

"Bailuo, if you behave yourself, naturally there won't be any problems."

"However, if you don't behave, don't blame me for being impolite."

"You are not the only one I can have."

Ye Bai warned the dejected Bailuo once more, telling it not to harbor any sneaky thoughts.

Without a second thought, he stuffed it directly into his mouth.

The Yin-Yang Jade Lotus Root melted upon contact, turning into a cool liquid that submerged into Ye Bai's sea of consciousness.

At this moment, the sixth Contract Slot was lit up, which meant that Ye Bai could finally contract Dahui.

"Come out, Dahui."

Ye Bai summoned Dahui, who was holding the Thunder God Axe, out from the Beast Card.

Dahui's body fell into the Life Source Liquid, and a massive amount of essence, energy, and spirit surged into it.

Even the Thunder God Axe was gulping down the Life Source Liquid.

Dahui watched eagerly as Ye Bai bit his finger and dripped blood directly onto the center of its brow.

The blood quickly submerged into the center of Dahui's brow, and it formed a close connection with Ye Bai.

"Nether Wolf, Space Pelican, True Dragon Spirit, all of you go and soak in the Life Source Liquid."

At this moment, even Ye Bai jumped into the Life Source Liquid with a splash.

He felt a warm current surging into his body; it was like being in the womb, embraced by water and milk.

The Sunflower Emperor also sank to the bottom of the lake, and the Life Branch within its body grew a trace of roots under the stimulation of the Life Source Liquid.

By the time Ye Bai woke up, the Life Source Liquid in the lake had dropped significantly.

His body radiated a luster like jade.

"Space Pelican, can you pack up and take all the Life Source Liquid away?"

Ye Bai asked the Space Pelican.

Just as the Space Pelican was about to nod in agreement, Bailuo hurriedly stopped it.

"No, this Life Source Liquid is the innate essence condensed by Jianmu."

"Although Jianmu is already broken, it is the hub supporting this Secret Realm; once the Life Source Liquid is taken away, the entire Secret Realm will immediately fall apart."

After hearing this, Ye Bai gave the Space Pelican a look.

The Space Pelican flapped its wings directly and flew high into the sky.

"Fine, I'll listen to you; I need to find the passage from Jianmu to another world now."

"Bailuo, do you have a way?"

"I know a piece of intelligence: in that other world, Emperor Flowing Pulp will appear."

Upon hearing this news, Bailuo's eyes lit up.

It naturally knew what Emperor Flowing Pulp meant.

This was a good thing that could open up spiritual wisdom; if this fell into its own hands, Bailuo would likely have a chance to break through to the Sixth Order.

"I think relying on the Space Pelican might be more effective for finding another passage."

"As long as the Space Pelican senses where spatial ripples appear, that place might have an entrance to another Secret Realm."

"However, you have consumed so much Life Source Liquid; it's equivalent to a mouse entering a rice granary and stealing so much rice—Jianmu will definitely be furious."

"As soon as you go out, you will be surrounded by Exotic Beasts enslaved by Jianmu."

The Shennong Ginseng shivered suddenly.

"Don't be afraid, I have my own ways."

"Jianmu, I know you are conscious."

"I am going to another Secret Realm now."

"I hope you won't fail to appreciate what's good for you; please obediently open the spatial passage and send me to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm."

"Otherwise, I will plunder all the Life Source Liquid inside your body!"

The Shennong Ginseng clutched its head tightly, its mouth forming an 'O' shape.

"No, if you do this, you will anger Jianmu; how dare you speak like that."

"Dead, I'm dead; if Jianmu gets angry, what should I do!"

The Shennong Ginseng revealed an expression of extreme fear.

It was unclear whether it was Ye Bai's threat that had taken effect.

Ye Bai only heard a long sigh.

Then, a massive spatial ripple appeared.

Ye Bai understood that this was the entrance to the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.

It was just that once he went in, it would likely be very difficult to come back.

Jianmu would probably spare no effort to kill him.

In fact, Ye Bai had not expected that he could successfully threaten Jianmu; his initial idea was just to bluff Jianmu, who knew it would actually succeed.

What Ye Bai did not know was that Jianmu was not afraid of Ye Bai, but rather afraid of the Life Branch in the hands of the Sunflower Emperor.
