Chapter 319: The Sunflower Emperor Has Evolved

The news of Chen Boshi's passing spread throughout the upper echelons of the Yan Country.

Someone silently lit a cigarette and placed it on the ground, waiting for the wisps of blue smoke to dissipate.

Others danced a sacrificial dance facing the sun, seemingly in mourning for Chen Boshi.

Xu Gou and Yin Hu silently bowed to Chen Boshi and offered a salute, watching as the heavy coffin lid was closed.

Yingxiong Muyuan had strengthened its defenses; it was now layered with ambushes by the Emperor, which radiated holy light at all times.

Furthermore, a large number of Giant God Soldiers were lying in wait here; once they detected any person or undead entering Yingxiong Muyuan, they would immediately strike.

A Clone of the Emperor burrowed onto the coffin, using its own roots to wrap around the entire casket.

Should any ill-intentioned person wish to use Chen Boshi's body for evil, the Clone of the Emperor would immediately initiate a self-destruct sequence.

At this moment, countless blood-red currents surged into the body of the Emperor.

It became lush and dripping with vitality, its massive roots plunging deep into the ground, absorbing vast amounts of essence and blood.

This essence and blood was being converted into Heavenly Dew.

The Heavenly Dew gathered more and more, and the massive life energy began to concentrate; the Heavenly Dew, originally pure white and radiating holy light, then began to shift toward a golden hue.

The petals of the Emperor also began to bloom gradually; having absorbed so much energy, it was about to evolve.

The petals began to fall off in layers, and a delicate five-colored flower appeared.

The massive body of the Emperor withered in an instant, becoming nutrients for the five-colored flower.

Strands of crystal-clear liquid then exuded from the flower bud, turning into golden water mist.

The water mist gradually condensed in mid-air, forming a transparent phantom.

A large number of the Emperor's Clones were extinguished and withered in an instant.

They all transported the essence, energy, and spirit they had extracted into the main body.

A sprite, resembling a small fairy with three pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings, appeared.

It wore a wreath of flowers on its head, and its clothing was stitched together from leaves.

In its hand, it held a five-colored flower staff.

It had finally evolved, promoted from the Emperor to the Sunflower Fairy.

【Name: Sunflower Fairy (Leader Aura)】

【Gender: Agender】

【Level: Tier 6, Level 1】

【Trait: Sunlight: When bathed in sunlight, Wood-type skills are amplified by 1.5 times.】

【Skills: Thorn Whip (Mastery): Uses roots as hard as steel to attack enemies, capable of firmly binding them or piercing through their bodies.

Life Space (Inherent skill of the Sunflower race): Generates a Life Space as large as a basketball court within the petals; a large amount of Heavenly Dew gushes out within the Life Space, and the Heavenly Dew gathers together, gradually condensing into Immortal Dew. As the Sunflower Fairy's level increases, the space it can produce will become larger and larger.

Clone (Mastery): Rapidly creates a clone one tier lower than itself; under the influence of large amounts of flesh and blood essence, it can produce unlimited clones that become independent individuals with their own consciousness.

【Evolution Route: Unlocks after conditions are met.】

The Sunflower Fairy flew onto Ye Bai's head.

The five-colored flower it held in its hand was, in fact, its true body.

Even the Clones it recreated still retained the honest and simple image of the Emperor.

However, Ye Bai felt that the Emperor could very well deceive enemies.

When Ye Bai learned the news of Chen Boshi's passing, he lowered his head and observed a minute of silence to express his longing for this wise man.

The Asura Demon Ape watched as Zhang Lingxue rushed out unscathed, and its expression became difficult to maintain.

The Giant Rock Butterfly blocked the Asura Demon Ape's pride-and-joy strike.

Zhang Lingxue's fighting style was a group brawl; whenever she fought, she did so in a swarm.

Her main strategy was to use chaotic punches to beat the master to death.

Ye Bai's fighting style, however, was versatility.

The specialty of Ye Bai's Myriad-Change Butterfly lay in this state of versatility.

It could transform into Exotic Beasts evolved from the Baibian Can, Thousand-Change Silkworm, and Myriad-Change Silkworm as a foundation.

That is to say, treating the Baibian Can, Thousand-Change Silkworm, and Myriad-Change Silkworm as an evolutionary tree, it could simulate any evolutionary route on that tree that it had ever seen.

Moreover, every time it leveled up, the Myriad-Change Butterfly could split off another Clone.

Zhang Lingxue's talent was such that one person was equivalent to a thousand troops.

Just for the Giant Rock Butterfly King, Zhang Lingxue could summon four of them.

The Giant Rock Butterfly King, with a body like a mountain, lived up to expectations and blocked the Asura Demon Ape's attack.

"Thunder Light Butterfly King."

"Wild Thunder Lightning Flash."

Endless wild thunder fell from the body of the Thunder Light Butterfly King.

The evolved Thunder Light Butterfly King's attack power was extraordinarily formidable.

Violent electric currents fell from the high sky, transforming into ferocious thunder dragons.

The Thunder Dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws as it coiled toward the Asura Demon Ape.

There was no sign of fear on the Asura Demon Ape's face; instead, it wore an expression eager to give it a try.

"Truly a battle maniac. If I can subdue this Asura Demon Ape, I will never have to worry about Teacher's safety again."

The Asura Demon Ape was a top-tier thug Ye Bai had planned for Zhang Lingxue.

Relying on Zhang Lingxue's talent, as long as she could capture all the Four-Armed Vajra Apes, she would very likely be able to obtain a group of Asura Demon Apes.

With this group of Pet Beasts, Zhang Lingxue's position among the Twenty-Eight Mansions would certainly rise significantly, and if any of the Twelve Pillars of the Nation were to retire, Zhang Lingxue could take the position early.

At the very worst, it wasn't impossible for the Grandmaster to step down early.

If Zhang Dashan knew of Ye Bai's thoughts, he would surely feel that this grand-disciple was truly filial to the heavens.

It was enough to "filially" kill him; the abacus beads were practically hitting him in the face.

The Thunder Light Butterfly descended from high in the sky, and electric currents coiled around the Asura Demon Ape's body.

But the Asura Demon Ape swung its arms directly, breaking free from the electric attack.

It opened its mouth, revealing a ferocious appearance; this was the Asura Ghost Face.

The Thunder Light Butterfly King was completely intimidated by the Asura Demon Ape.

They were unable to move, and a smug smile appeared on the Asura Demon Ape's face.

These tiny bugs were easy to handle.

Subsequently, the Asura Demon Ape raised its fists, forming endless fist shadows, and swung them heavily toward the Thunder Light Butterfly King.

Just as the fist shadows were about to land on the Thunder Light Butterfly King, a shadow emerged from the Thunder Light Butterfly King's shadow.

Then, the shadow pulled the Thunder Light Butterfly King into the shadow.

Bang. The entire Nantianmen Fortress shook slightly, and an unfathomably deep pit appeared on the ground.

At this moment, the Asura Demon Ape was furious.

The head representing anger had eyes that turned directly red; clearly, the Asura Demon Ape was exceptionally enraged.

The muscles on its arms bulged, forming a ferocious demon back.

Heavy, ragged breaths rushed out from the Asura Demon Ape's mouth.

"The Asura Demon Ape currently has three states: joy, anger, and sorrow."

"This should be the anger state; its attack power will rise significantly."

"An enraged Asura Demon Ape should disregard everything to kill Teacher."

Ye Bai thought to himself while stroking his chin on the sidelines.

It was a pity that Teacher was not easy to provoke.

She had plenty of Pet Beasts on hand.

Just the two henchmen, the Poison Dragon Butterfly and the True Light Goddess Butterfly, were not to be trifled with.

In case Teacher encountered danger, the Space Pelican could take a step ahead to save her.

The Asura Demon Ape took a deep breath, and it stomped its feet fiercely onto the ground.

Immediately, it rushed toward Zhang Lingxue like an arrow released from a bowstring.

As it got closer and closer to Zhang Lingxue, she even smelled the bad breath from the Asura Demon Ape's breathing.

"My god, has this Asura Demon Ape not brushed its teeth for too long?"

"This smell is really intense."

After Zhang Lingxue smelled the stench, her face turned dark.

"Go, Star Ripple Butterfly King."

The Star Ripple Butterfly King was no ordinary Pet Beast; after Zhang Lingxue's deep exploration, this guy's ability turned out to be Space Transfer.

However, its range for Space Transfer was small and could not compare to the Space Pelican.

Moreover, it could only carry the Pet Beast Master to transfer itself, and could not directly transfer the Pet Beast Master to a predetermined location.

The Asura Demon Ape swung another punch.

Just as it was about to beat Zhang Lingxue to pieces, streaks of starlight coiled around the Star Ripple Butterfly King.

Its body disappeared instantly.

The Asura Demon Ape's fist swung toward the water of the moat; in an instant, white waves surged, and the crashing waves, carrying the massive fist shadows, converged in one place and bombarded the river surface.

With a bang, countless water mists shot into the sky, and the entire water of the moat was blasted apart in this instant.

The river water turned into torrential rain, scattering in all directions, drenching everything.

The rain disappeared completely.

It turned into countless mists and dissipated in mid-air.

The Asura Demon Ape was drenched in the face by the rain, and it appeared even more furious.

This was completely losing face in front of its clansmen.

The shame-filled Asura Demon Ape let out a deafening roar from its mouth.

It pounded its chest fiercely with its fists.

On the side, Jiao Mu Jiao's heart was thumping wildly as he watched this ferocious beast rampaging.

"Roar."

The Asura Demon Ape let out a deafening roar.

This furious sound made Jiao Mu Jiao break into a secret cold sweat.

Could Junior Sister really defeat the Asura Demon Ape and win time for Nantianmen Fortress?

At this moment, Zhang Dashan walked to Jiao Mu Jiao's side.

"Zhang Jian, your heart is in chaos, tangled like hemp."

"You should give your junior sister a little more trust, and give me a little more trust as well; after all, your junior sister was cultivated by my own hands."

"She is also one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, Heart Moon Fox."

"Her combat power is beyond doubt."

Horn Wood Flood Dragon frowned: "Teacher, but hasn't Junior Sister been putting most of her energy into research?"

"If we act rashly, I worry there will be problems."

Zhang Dashan shook his head: "Zhang Lingxue is a genius; her combat talent is even superior to her research talent."

"It is just that our Yan Country is too lacking in research-type talent, which is why Xiao Xue was led onto a path of research as primary and combat as secondary."

"Do not worry about your junior sister; she is very strong."

"If you were in no danger to your life, I would not sit idly by either."

Zhang Dashan is the stabilizing force in the team; as long as he is present, he will not watch Zhang Lingxue fall into defeat.

Doing so would have a huge impact on morale.

Just at this moment, Anna suddenly rushed over.

"Ye Bai, it's bad, something has happened at the Tuzai Chang."

"The Shixiangui Hexin you buried in the Tuzai Chang have suddenly broken through the soil; looking at them, they seem quite troublesome."

Anna was the first to find someone who could resolve this matter.

Ye Bai frowned, looking at Zhang Lingxue who was locked in a fierce battle; he was slightly hesitant.

But the Nantianmen Fortress cannot have any chaos right now; it must be quelled quickly.

Once word spreads that chaos appeared at this critical juncture, no one else will be able to protect themselves. "Space Pelican, you stay behind and help me look after Teacher; if Teacher cannot overcome the enemy, take action to assist immediately."

Ye Bai is clear-headed; Zhang Lingxue will not have any problems. Even without him taking action, the senior uncle and grandmaster are both there; they will not stand by and watch.

"Let's go, we must hurry to the Tuzai Chang."

Because he had gone out for a trip in the middle, Ye Bai had forgotten that he had placed the Shixiangui Hexin underground at the Tuzai Chang.

But didn't the blood energy contained in this Tuzai Chang get absorbed by the Blood Stone Lion? It's strange, what kind of change has occurred at the Tuzai Chang?

When Ye Bai arrived at the Tuzai Chang, it was filled with hideous Shixiangui, spreading their bat wings and drooling.

The exterior of these Shixiangui is grayish-white, and when standing still, they look just like stone statues.

Wisps of blood-evil aura are coiled around the bodies of the Shixiangui.

Ye Bai's foot seemed to step on something; he looked down and saw it was the corpse of a Dark Night Blood Bat Emperor.

So that's it; Ye Bai seemed to understand the truth. It is precisely because of these Dark Night Blood Bat Emperors that the Shixiangui obtained a sufficient source of blood, which is how they successfully hatched.

"It seems this matter must be the Blood Demon playing tricks."

At this time, the Blood Demon was also very puzzled, because he discovered that many of his Dark Night Blood Bat Emperors were missing.

The eyes he had planted in Nantianmen had actually been mostly uprooted.

"Strange, could it be that someone discovered I was secretly raising Dark Night Blood Bat Emperors?"

The Blood Demon was suddenly puzzled.

"Blood Demon Art: Blood Demon Mirror."

The Blood Demon usually does not want to use this spell, as it is very easy for others to discover.
