Chapter 1108: Life And Death Cereus

The mutated Darkness Blooming Cereus was still pink. It didn’t look like there was anything weird about it, but Zong Shou could feel the huge and terrifying energy within.

It was flowing such that his Soul Ocean shook about.

“I can’t inject in any more Soul Power?”

Roughly 60 days ago, Zong Shou tried to inject his Soul Power in to store, however, he was unable to leave anything in.

He thought that it was due to the flower mutating, but it was still the same now after the process was completed.

This pink and white flower was full of Soul Power and no more could be stored.

In the past, it was storing his Soul Power in his Soul Ocean and when Zong Shou needed it then he would release it.

Now, who knew what kind of abilities a mutated Darkness Blooming Cereus would have?

Zong Shou frowned and suddenly felt that he had messed up a little.

The Creation Death Fountain was able to make the flower evolve but he didn’t expect that it would cause the power useful to him before to be lost.

“I can only give it a shot…”

In the past, when the three flowers bloomed, it would take many months to rejuvenate. Although he didn’t know what the case was now, it would definitely take a long time too.

Although it was wasteful to use one chance just like that, he couldn’t just use it on an enemy before he understood what was going on.

…What if it was useless and what if it could even cause damage to his own body?

He didn’t hesitate and he activated one of them.

Instantly, flower petals bloomed.

The moment the flower opened, a bright glow broke out!

Before Zong Shou even had time to admire that beautiful glow, he felt a huge power suddenly surge out from within.

It was a mix of Life and Death Energy, an absolutely dark power.

It was similar to the three threads of Celestial Power in his body but it was slightly different. It was purer and more vast.

Zong Shou felt like his body was about to break apart, so he didn’t hesitate to punch out.

All the energy turned into the shape of a sword and a grey-white wing appeared behind his back.

After a growl, dust flew all about and spread about the room. Only after a dozen breaths did it dissipate.

The wall in front of Zong Shou was broken apart. An extremely deep hole appeared in front of their eyes.

The few people present were stunned but their expectations didn’t change.

With their current strength they were able to easily wipe out a mountain. Why was Zong Shou’s aura so abundant, like a Saint Realm cultivator? Why was it so silent when that palm blade was slashed? Was he just unwilling to alert people around?

In the next instant, Yuan Wushang’s expression changed, “The living will die, the dead will remain dead! Life and Death switch, how did you do that?”

Only then the four of them felt that it was not right. When that palm blade slashed out, within hundreds of miles, everything from beasts to ants below all died and there weren’t any wounds on them. As for the corpses of some ants, as long as they weren’t too badly damaged, some of them came back alive.

One could sense that even Shen Yuexuan who was really knowledgeable was shocked. This was pretty much stealing from the Heavens and creating life!

Zong Shou knew that those things came back to life because their bodies were filled with rich energy. As long as the energy scattered, they would still die.

Turning back Life and Death, even End Realm Saint Venerables who were venerable couldn’t do that, much less him?

However, after that strike, Zong Shou roughly knew what the ability of the flower was.

It was really unexpected, far more than what he had thought.

The power of Life and Death was connected to the change of the cereus. It would be filled with life when it bloomed.

As long as his soul wasn’t wiped out and he had a bit of Spiritual Sense left, that huge Lifeforce could allow his soul to be recovered as new. No matter how heavy his injuries, it would be fixed.

If he used it on himself, one flower was like one life. If he used it on others, then it would be like one top Life Saving Celestial Pill… this was something that didn’t exceed 1,000 pills in this region.

The Death Power would only break out when the Cereus is about to wither.

It could be used to harm enemies, similar to when Zong Shou was using Celestial Power to attack.

Zong Shou hadn’t tried to see if they could stack together, so naturally he wasn’t sure about that. However, he knew that if he used it along with his Styx River Death Sword, that sword would exceed Grade Twelve! It might even be half a step to the pinnacle!

When that sword was used, he was confident to kill Saint Realm Venerables without even using King Path Martial Arts.

Unfortunately, the time it took to recover also extended. It needed a full year to recover to a usable state. To return to its peak would take a full three years.

The only thing that could speed up this process was the Creation Death Fountain.

At this time, he thought back to the 800 drops that were given to Gong Xinran and Zong Shou felt really regretful.

If he knew that this was the case, he wouldn’t have exchanged it with her! He wouldn’t have given her even a single drop…

He sighed and took out six drops and dropped it on that withered flower.

These were the final few drops and the rest were all used to comprehend the Life and Death Laws. As expected after he watered it, the Darkness Blooming Cereus was brimming with life and it grew into the shape of a flower once more.

To recover it all, he needed nine drops. Which was why this Darkness Blooming Cereus was only sixty percent of when it was full.

“Unfortunately, I didn’t cultivate the Life and Death Dao. Otherwise, with the Life and Death Switch Technique and also these three Darkness Blooming Cereus, that Styx River Death Sword would be able to reach another level. It might enter Grade Thirteen! If I met Hanqing, this sword would be able to give him a little surprise…”

Hanqing’s Against the Heaven Demon Technique was able to reflect the Slaying Sword Intent, but it definitely wouldn’t be able to go against the Life and Death Dao!

This technique was the true counter to that person!

Zong Shou gave out a self-mocking laugh, if he was really able to reach Grade Thirteen, then there was nothing he had to worry about now and could directly head for the God Realm.

“After the mutation, it can’t be considered the Darkness Blooming Cereus, but the Life and Death Cereus. It is unique in the world!”

Zong Shou was naturally delighted. With this trump card, he was really confident.

Even if he faced those outer region aliens, he would be able to fight them.

The presence of the Life and Death Cereus could reduce their casualties to the lowest.

“Mr. Shen, is that item done?”

Shen Yuexuan was still in a daze and when he heard that he came to his senses and smiled, “Fortunately, I didn’t let you down!”

He waved his hand and tossed out the Nine Hole Life Essence Stone.

After Zong Shou took it, the joy in his eyes became even thicker. As expected, Shen Yuexuan managed to do it.

What was rare was that the quality of the item wasn’t reduced.

It meant that in the future he would be able to answer to Master Xuanshuang and he could exchange it for rarer items.

The stone was still only an artifact fetus but Zong Shou could use the World Shocking Spirit Art to draw out the life essence power within.

Instantly, a glow covered the five of them.

“This is the power of the stone?”

Yuan Wushang looked beside Zong Shou at the floating jade stone. Then, he used a sword and sliced his arm.

Everyone saw that the wound instantly healed.

Celestial Realm Cultivators had indestructible bodies and the ability to regenerate flesh. However, it was rare for it to be so quick.

“How fast!”

Chuxue’s mouth was agape when she saw that and wanted to test it out. However, she was afraid of the pain so she didn’t.

“Does that mean that if we are beside it we will never die?”

Yuan Wushang laughed, “I feel that I used up a bit of energy, so this stone isn’t omnipotent! At most, it can instantly heal nonlethal injuries, but now repair damages to Dao Foundations. Moreover, can Brother Zong’s Soul Power sustain it?”

Zong Shou gave out a helpless smile and retracted his Spiritual Sense, dissipating that cold light.

He didn’t consume much but if he was to fight at the same time, then it would be tough. He could only use it at a crucial moment.

However, after knowing that they had such a treasure that could heal up injuries, their expressions were much more relaxed.

If they couldn’t beat their enemy, then they would just exchange injuries. Their side would definitely win.

Only then did Zong Shou notice the stunned expression on Su Xiaoxiao’s face.

Just that energy change and he knew that she improved a lot during the 100 days. The Yuan Demon Seven Emotion Technique was much purer.

Staying beside her, even without her doing anything, their thoughts would become messy. Emotions would surge and desires rose up.

Zong Shou could suppress it while the others purposely kept some distance with Su Xiaoxiao.

She was unable to control it anymore which showed that her improvement was really unimaginable.

However, there wasn’t any joy on her face, instead, her brow was filled with worry.

“Why are you so focused? Can you talk about it?”

She came back to her senses and looked at Zong Shou’s ice-cold eyes.

Just one look and she knew that Zong Shou was doubtful about her.

However, during these 100 years, along with her cultivation improving, that weird feeling became stronger and stronger.

An intense sense of inauspiciousness wrapped around her heart that couldn’t fade away. She felt that if she continued to follow beside him, something sad and tragic that she wouldn’t want to see would occur.

“I feel really weird and would like to leave lover for a period of time. Recently, I forgot about something, maybe it has something to do with love and Yuan Demon, it is…”

Before she was able to see it, she felt a huge pain in her head. Vital energy in her chest bubbled, she felt like she was about to doe.

When she recovered, a lost expression appeared in her eyes.

What did she want to say just now?

“Leave?”

Zong Shou laughed coldly. She followed him and knew so many things about him. Now she wanted to leave? Was she prepared to avoid the ambush and spread a message to those people?

That was something he wouldn’t allow. He would keep her by his side, that was the safest choice.

He didn’t reply at all. He turned around and noticed that the Evil Avoiding Purple Fragrance which was burning on the outside of the area covered by the book had turned to ash.
