Chapter 704: Impurities

【Chastity Domain · Sorrowful Purity】!

【Details: The Rose Goddess, who despised love, once fled the pursuit of a sun deity by transforming herself into an ordinary rose tree.

But the enraged sun god plucked her hair, disguised as leaves, and forged it into a crown; he severed her legs, disguised as trunk, and turned them into a lyre; he plucked her eyes, disguised as rose blossoms, and mounted them on his bow; then he bound her with divine power, eternally locking her form.

Upon impact, those the Rose Goddess deems redeemable enter the state of ‘Chastity Awakening’; those deemed impure are utterly crystallized.

The Rose Goddess!?

Luo De stared in shock as the panel’s data flashed rapidly once more.

【‘Will of the Azure Tree +10’ grants additional bonus to spiritual resistance against the Lunar Domain!】

【Domain collision re-evaluated!】

【Lunar Domain · Basic (Luo De): 72 (+61)】

【Chastity Domain · Sorrowful Purity (????): 112】

【Result: Success!】

Daphne was stunned, then erupted in fury, one half of her face contorted with rage.

“What trick is this?! How can such an impure one resist my gaze?!”

Luo De had no time to marvel at the Azure Tree Eva’s power—he spun and lunged for Tally.

But he was still too late.

Silver-white crystalline flowers spread upward from Tally’s feet.

Her domains of Stasis and Domination were clearly inferior to Luo De’s basic Lunar Domain, let alone the Rose Goddess’s Chastity Domain.

But their strength lay in their versatility—they could clash with any type of domain authority.

Her cute, lovely face flushed crimson, her hands trembling as she pushed outward.

The crystallization slowed noticeably.

“Are you alright, Tally?”

Saying this,

Luo De drew the [Eye of the Storm Spear], and with a violent twist of his waist and a power surge of 2000%, he stomped the ground.

He also hurled the artifact [Cursed Spike] toward her.

With a boom, the spear struck like thunder, exploding into a swelling void amid the surging sea of rose blossoms.

Daphne let out a muffled groan as shattered petals rained down.

“Don’t use such bizarre descriptions now—where’s the [Spiritual Anchor]?”

[Spiritual Anchor] is a consumable buff from [Euphoric Party].

【When resisting mental control, if the resistance fails, this buff can be consumed to auto-succeed.】

“It was consumed, but it likely halved the effect—otherwise Tally couldn’t have held on.”

Without hesitation, Luo De shared [Will of the Azure Tree] via [Spiritual Symbiosis].

Around 5000 points of [Growth Spirit] dropped by 700—he used it without hesitation, not caring at all.

Kali Site and Vivian each received one as well.

Surprisingly,

the Tree Spirit had resisted without even consuming her [Spiritual Anchor], and seemed utterly unaffected.

She blinked her eyes, filled with white light, and next moment, vast projections of the Tree Realm appeared from the sky.

【Tree Realm Descends】 activated.

She rained relentless fire onto the rose clusters below; Luo De followed up with a [Painful Whip] to boost output.

Even more surprising was the Elf Young Lady .

The reliable one seemed powerless to resist; after a brief struggle,

her eyes glazed over, glowing with silver-white illusions.

When she looked at Luo De again, her expression was filled with resentment and regret.

“You sneaked into my chamber multiple times while I slept and ruined my purity—henceforth, we are mortal enemies!”

“What the hell?”

Tally’s cry came faster than Luo De’s—she stared, dumbfounded.

Looking between them, a sense of betrayal, as if she’d been NTR’d, welled up inside her.

“Master! When did you and her start...”

“...Can we focus on the current situation? She’s under mental control—can you take that seriously?”

“Oh, right.”

Luo De exhaled in relief—he’d done his utmost to protect Little Kali’s reputation.

In an instant, a bursting arc of flame flung him backward, smashing into a section of crystal mountain, burying him under a rumbling cascade of crystal clusters.

ROAR!!

The Bronze Dragon Battle Spirit roared skyward, instantly shattering the crystal pile.

Luo De groaned as he rose, his chest blackened with soot.

He raised his hand and cast [Lunar Binding Curse] on Kali Site .

【Domain collision re-evaluated!】

【Lunar Domain · Lunar Binding Curse (Luo De): 83】

【Cursed Art Domain · Basic (Kali Site ): 65】

【Result: Success!】

A basic domain of 65? Not bad, little Kali.

The Elf Young Lady stiffened; before she fell, Luo De stepped forward with Lunar Shadow Step and caught her in his arms.

Her fragrance filled his embrace; he made no further move—just a simple grip on her buttocks.

He was met with the Elf Young Lady ’s furious, fiery glare.

Luo De smiled and gripped again.

“Tally, watch her.”

“Got it~~”

Vivian’s [Tree Realm Projection] unleashed furious firepower, relentlessly bombarding from above—petals, crystal clusters, shards, and ash churned wildly.

Meanwhile, Daphne, struggling desperately to break free, clearly affected the Rose Goddess deeply, leaving her powerless to retaliate, forced into pure defense.

Then Vivian recognized the lightning-fast figure dragging an electric trail on the ground and immediately ceased her barrage.

As dust settled, Daphne’s body was riddled with craters, her rose petals shredded, her massive sword wound nearly impossible to heal—she looked utterly wretched.

Plasma surged—[Thunder Tendon] activated Luo De’s physical capabilities to their peak.

Almost the moment she revealed herself, Luo De’s giant pruning shears, wreathed in lunar fire, pierced her chest.

The Rose Goddess lifted her head shakily, looking down at Luo De with disdain.

“Had I not just awakened, you’d think—”

“What’s the use of hindsight?”

“The impure... die...”

“Die, you bitch.”

【Black Gold Coating +5】—the pruning shears turned into a subdued, luxurious black-gold hue.

【Black Gold Coating · ‘Enhancement’: Enhances skill potency of coated object by +7;】

The [Great Cultivator’s Pruning Shears], infused with over 2000 points of Growth Spirit, activated its artifact trait: 【Impurity Removal +20】!

Moreover, the [Great Cultivator’s Pruning Shears]’ innate suppression over plants surged into overdrive.

On Daphne’s half-face, twisted with rage, shock and fury erupted.

“A semi-divine artifact?! Impossible! Such a thing cannot exist at this time point!!?!”

Her roar was useless—the intense repelling force tore a spectral woman from Daphne’s head: a figure with leaf-like ears and bark-like skin.

The woman screamed in defiance, then was utterly ripped away.

Daphne’s grotesque half-face smoothed into serenity; the white rose petals on her body returned to crimson, and she collapsed helplessly to the ground.

The Rose Goddess’s specter retreated like wind, swiftly retreating back to the rose tree possessing [Forceful Seizure].

Luo De had been waiting for this moment.

Laughing, he switched [Child of Nature]’s natural phase to ‘Symbiotic State,’ forcibly linking the rose tree to his spiritual meridians and locking it in place!

Then,

【Battle Spirit Forge】’s [Soul Devouring Forging] began refining the rose tree infused with the Rose Goddess’s essence!

A woman’s face emerged from the trunk, terrified as if seeing a ghost—even her voice trembled with sobs and extreme dread.

“This power... this power this power...”
