Chapter 406: Enemies Revealed, The Four Seasons Rotate Flower Demon

It is obvious that Yun is the physician's younger sister.

It was unexpected that she would be inside the Sacred Spirit Garden now; clearly, she had fallen into misfortune. Fortunately, Du En discovered and rescued her in time, otherwise, she would likely have been in grave danger.

After all, she clearly knows some of the inside story.

Therefore, at this moment, accompanied by Yun's exclamation, a fierce autumn wind suddenly blew up!

Bleak and whistling, it erupted violently from the enemy's lair that Du En had already scouted.

A terrifying, or rather, bizarre Dharma power swept in all directions. The phantoms of the living instantly became mottled and flickering, a withered yellow color rapidly enveloped the surroundings, and a thick, viscous malice was no longer concealed!

Clang! In this instant, Sheng Shen's thoughts raced; choosing to trust, clearing the threads of the situation, surging with impulse... in the end, the hanging lamp transformed into a radiant light that illuminated everything, exploding with a boom. It was like the sun rising in the night, directly bracing against the invading, bizarre Dharma power and bringing all the phantoms of the passersby under its protection.

Du En was even more direct. As he stepped, the space within layers upon layers, the Wood Domain Delicate Flower that had been suppressed in an instant, and his two Dao techniques suddenly contracted. Through the operation of the layered space, they were gathered thousands of times and then surged back thousands of times.

In this way, he guarded his own domain of Dao techniques, preventing it from being completely overwhelmed by the enemy.

At the same time, he had already driven straight in, fearless, facing the sharp edge head-on.

Five light wheels glowed within his body, overlapping and rotating, divine and extraordinary, dreamlike and illusory. Each layer possessed one strength, and five layers possessed five strengths. With five strengths gathered at a single point, the great power of his physique was manifested!

However, when Du En stepped into the enemy's lair, the five light wheels flickered unsteadily. Even though they instantly merged into the prototype of the True Indestructible, the brilliant light of the Indestructible Radiance, it was only enough to barely withstand the invasion of that malice!

Is this... the power of time?

He had, after all, experienced the tidal surge of time and space, so he immediately captured the clues. He realized why the opponent's Dharma domain gave him such a strange feeling, and where exactly the previously faint disharmony lay.

Time! Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the four seasons rotate, hence the autumn wind blowing bleakly, and the arrival of a murderous chill!

As if sensing that they had been seen through, the enemy behind the scenes stopped pretending. Immediately, a sea of sickness surged, breaking through the surface, splashing and churning, spanning the sky, heavy and oppressive, ominous and terrifying! Beneath this hanging sea of sickness, within the Wood Domain Delicate Flower, changes began to sprout abruptly from the simple withered yellow.

Spring has arrived, and a hundred flowers contend in beauty.

Bang, bang, bang! Twisted sick flowers broke through the soil, spreading and hissing, unfolding their petals, which were patterned with the shapes of heavy fluorite, resembling dense, crowded eyes.

Summer has come, and the lush greenery flourishes.

Gack, gack, gack! Verdant trees split open at the height of their vitality, struggling and roaring, unfolding their limbs, all composed of deep purple and ominous matter, as if covered in tumors.

Autumn is maintained, with fruits ripening and leaves falling.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Amidst the rising, bleak, and dry autumn wind, the entire forest was shaking and swaying. Every tree, every flower, and every blade of grass bore fruit and shed leaves.

The fruit was the fruit of sickness, and the leaf was the leaf of death.

Ripened, they burst open, emitting the bane of sickness.

Fallen, they stained the ground, becoming the mechanism of death.

And there is one last step, winter...

Although Du En had reacted, he was interfered with by the Wheel of Time. He watched as the surroundings seemed to refresh themselves, with the manifestations of the three seasons already appearing.

Fortunately, he was not truly left with no choice but to sit and wait for death.

At this moment, his Dharma power erupted, and the prototype of his Dao power bolstered him. One hand raised, the killing wind blew with a roar; the other hand grabbed downward, and a mountain peak burst from the ground with a boom. Immediately, he attacked from above and below, shaking this power of the four seasons' rotation.

Creak, creak!!!

A teeth-gritting sound of tearing and friction immediately rang out.

That winter realm had not yet fully formed. Aside from the enemy lacking the strength to instantly fix the scene of the four seasons, it was also because Du En continued to maintain the Wood Domain Delicate Flower, holding tightly to his own Dao technique, letting it become a stone jammed inside the gears.

Now with the combined attack, the obstruction was immediately obvious, forcing the enemy to pause as well.

Du En would not bother with waiting for them to stop; he immediately employed other means.

Transform into light, change into treasure.

Impermanence Blade!

This was the focus of his Dao power prototype's reinforcement! Impermanence, impermanence—it is that this is impermanent, and that is impermanent; it is an impermanence that even time cannot stop!

Grasped in his hand and swung, the killing wind suddenly acted as if it had taken a stimulant, instantly piercing through and sweeping past the obstruction in front, seeping into the Wheel of the Four Seasons, and subsequently revealing the power of this Dao technique.

Killing wind, transform into sand!

When it blows past, it makes things turn into sand! Even time, even the plague, with the help of Impermanence, can be turned into a handful of yellow sand! Woo, woo, woo...

The wind, as if wailing, roared, and the dust also rapidly became distinct.

Beneath the sea of sickness in the air, a sandstorm that blotted out the sky and sun descended upon the Wood Domain forest, crazily ravaging the woods.

While the enemy was shocked and subconsciously went to block it, slowing the infection of the Dharma domain, Du En took the opportunity to reverse the roles. Using the two-fold Dao technique domain he still maintained and controlled, he went to infect the opponent's Four Seasons Dharma domain.

Simply put, it was like opening the door for the killing wind inside the house! The Dharma domain that had originally condensed into one piece suddenly leaked wind everywhere, allowing the killing sandstorm to start tearing the house apart! It uprooted the spring flowers and turned them into gravel.

It relentlessly ravaged the summer monster trees and turned them into gravel.

It blew up and crushed the ripe fruits and fallen leaves, turning them into gravel.

Kill, kill, kill! Transform, transform, transform!

Using the combined Dao domain to feed the sandstorm domain was precisely reversing the wood and earth elements, overturning the heavenly order, and aiding the wind's momentum and power!

Moreover, there was Impermanence Wind mixed within, directly pushing this perfected Yellow-grade Dao technique, Killing Wind Transforms into Sand, to a deeper and more terrifying level!

The Four Seasons Dharma domain conversely became a stepping stone, becoming the pillar base for the Killing Wind Dao field, and Du En had already seized the upper hand...

"Damn it! Abominable! How hateful!"

Seeing the situation suddenly reverse and all their schemes go down the drain, the enemy behind the scenes finally could not help but speak out.

Once this exasperated, roaring voice came out, it immediately made one feel no awe; all sense of being unfathomable vanished, leaving only a common, ordinary impression.

It was also because the temperaments of the people on Du En's side were all positive; if it were someone like the Dust Puppet Tower Master, they would likely have shown looks of disdain, contempt, or sarcasm.

Everyone fixed their eyes on it. At this moment, only within the enemy's lair were there barely any tree walls left to block the ravages of the wind and sand. Although it was leaking wind everywhere—plugging one side only for it to leak on the other—it seemed meaningless, but it was, after all, a temporary obstruction.

And the exasperated enemy could no longer hide, revealing its true form.

A flower, looking like a pitcher plant, three zhang tall, with four types of leaves on its body: tender, green, yellow, and frost. The flower shape was that of a wheel, on which a human face appeared. It looked quite young, just the face of a child, but it was filled with a twisted, venomous color, and its gaze was directed straight at Sheng Shen's hanging lamp.

"Damn bitch, you still say you have no malice?! Isn't this a move specifically prepared to target me?!" It roared and yelled, filled with deep resentment.

Sheng Shen had not expected that the enemy in this garden would actually be such a flower.

"Flower of the Time Wheel..."

The Flower of Four Seasons Rotation is a type of exotic flower; it grows four leaves, follows the four seasons, and thus has five stages. When it blooms, it reaches the sixth stage, containing the principles of the four seasons. If one delves deeper, it holds the great secret of the Time Wheel! Under normal circumstances, it would only be an ordinary spiritual flower, unable to develop spiritual intelligence, unless it encounters a fortuitous coincidence and breaks through to the seventh stage, only then might it be favored by heaven and gain self-awareness.

But looking at it now, it is likely that True Monarch Buyi meddled with it, allowing this exotic flower to develop spiritual intelligence early on here in the Source Origin Star Realm and become a flower demon.

And after the heaven and earth fell ill, it also became a major force fueling the flames, allowing this flower demon—which had already been tampered with—to grow rapidly, reaching the perfection of the fifth stage, on the verge of blooming. Right now, it can even echo the Sea of Sickness, causing it to hover above the sky.

Du En maintained his Killing Wind Dharma Domain, glancing up at the surging Sea of Sickness in the sky that had not yet poured down, with no intention of making contact just yet.

Because the Time Wheel Flower Demon does not have enough characteristics of the sickness! Although a deep purple hue can be faintly seen on its roots, it is quite normal in other aspects; at most, due to the demon's temperament, it twists and sways, like a corrupted Venus flytrap.

Therefore, although it can echo the Sea of Sickness, it is also wary of it!

To rashly make contact, or even attack the Sea of Sickness, would only draw in the waves of the Sea of Sickness; that would be falling for the flower demon's trap! This flower demon is a bit difficult to deal with...

Du En did not let his guard down and even slightly slowed his offensive.

The swaying main body of the flower demon had an imperceptible pause, its venomous gaze glancing at Du En's side, silently chewing on its resentment toward him in its heart.

Why didn't he fall for the trap?

Why has he been so self-righteous and acting on his own since just now? What a damn guy! It cursed inwardly, while outwardly gathering its thoughts and cursing the Holy God together: "What do you have to say for yourself now? You hypocritical, self-righteous moralizing bitch, you really say one thing and do another, haha! It's laughable that we were all completely deceived by you!"

Holy God: "..."

"What's wrong? Can't speak anymore, huh! Damn bitch, depriving me of my freedom, saying it's for my own good, that you're thinking of me, that it's dangerous outside, that the Dark God would capture me back to refine medicine, but in fact, it's that you wanted to imprison me and continuously pluck my leaves to refine medicine, right!"

Holy God: "..."

"Don't think silence can excuse you. I know the bottom line of you gods; you are all short-lived ghosts, ugly, pathetic things struggling to survive by constantly being reborn through some secret technique, which is why you need the Flower of Time and the Seed of Life to extend your lives, right!"

Holy God: "..."

The Time Wheel Flower Demon was losing its composure.

Because the Holy God only responded with silence.

No matter if it was insulting or exposing, she remained indifferent, with no ripples of emotion.

The reason is simple.

Facing the idle gossip of such an enemy, she simply could not be shaken!

The path is clear, the actions are persistent; one just needs to walk straight toward the goal at the end! If a dilemma were placed before her, she might struggle with it, but if someone were to just spout nonsense and curse her, the deity would only consider it the chirping of ants!

She is rich in humanity, and He is also high above.

No need for explanation, no wavering; since it has already become a mistake, a stone blocking the way, then it only needs to be shattered and destroyed! At most, there will be regret and remembrance afterward...

"God-damned god!"

The Time Wheel Flower Demon's words became increasingly crude and vulgar; it should have been an exotic flower far removed from the mortal world, but now it looks as if a low-class, vulgar person had been grafted onto it.

However, the Holy God remained silent, and Du En was even more calm.

Yun, on the other hand, was trembling with anger. Seeing that their own deity and general were indifferent, and that the projections of the predecessors were all filled with rage but unable to speak out in rebuttal, a sense of mission suddenly welled up in her, and she couldn't help but stand out.

"Shut up!"

Finally receiving a response, the Time Wheel Flower Demon couldn't help but be jolted, its venomous gaze casting over, only to see a face wrapped tightly, with no specific features visible at all.

"You say Her Excellency imprisoned you, then do you have proof!"

Yun only said this.

That won't work, you know.

Du En couldn't help but think this.

If he hadn't been unwilling to speak here, the Time Wheel Flower Demon would have long been broken down in public by his calm yet sharp, exceptionally vicious words.

Sure enough, the Time Wheel Flower Demon laughed directly upon hearing such a weak rebuttal: "You little bitch hiding your head and showing your tail, you should reveal yourself first, be a bit more upright, before coming to talk to me!"

"... Changing the subject, you have a guilty conscience!"

Yun was silent for a moment, then struck directly at the essence.

Although her words were a bit weak, she could not be a simple person to dare to walk alone in the current Holy Kingdom and confirm the status of those three exotic items.

Upon hearing this, the Time Wheel Flower Demon immediately began to spew filth.

And Yun just replied silently: "As far as I know, Her Excellency's garden has no means of isolation or detention at all. If you feel you are imprisoned, why don't you try to walk out."

"Naive! Even if I dared to escape, wouldn't she just catch me back again?!"

"Wasn't the previous Holy-Dark War a perfect opportunity with all the right timing and conditions?"

"She even sent an apostle over; do you think that was a blind person, or some cripple?"

"Lord Lie Zun had already come over to tend the flowers; you know his character best, don't change the subject!"

"Another hypocritical villain..."

"Shut up! You are just afraid! Her Excellency the Holy God is kind-hearted and treats all things with tolerance; as long as a being has a soul, unless it is thoroughly twisted, she would never attempt to erase it. But Her Excellency the Dark God is different; you are just afraid that if you leave her garden, you will face targeting from the Dark God's Dark Kingdom!"

"..."

"You say Her Excellency imprisoned you and wants to refine you into medicine, but in reality, you know very well that you have no such value. Her Excellency only saw that you were a single plant back then and felt you were pitiful, so she transplanted you here to let the hundred flowers keep you company..."

"Shut up! Those ordinary, vulgar flowers are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as me!"

"Hehe, showing your true colors, aren't you! You were actually twisted and ugly from the roots. It is thanks to Her Excellency thinking you were still salvageable back then—that you were like those hopeless fanatics—that you have been able to live safely until now, and can now spew filth and take advantage of the situation to harm others!"

"Damn it, bitch, I'll kill you first!"

The Time Wheel Flower Demon was instantly enraged, trembling and shaking all over, and began to try to squeeze out its remaining strength.
