Chapter 2848 - 2849: Sea of Flowers and Blood Pool

Chapter 2848: Chapter 2849: Sea of Flowers and Blood Pool

The raging flames rumbled through the sea of flowers, withering the blooms in high temperatures before they combusted under critical heat, turning into flying ashes.

There is a cruel elegance in the destruction of all beautiful things.

This sea of flowers is no exception, even more so.

But more brutal than this beauty is Ke Jinyun’s scream.

It can’t be described simply as miserable; it felt as though a dying beast faced a bloody butcher’s knife.

Filled with despair and anger.

Of course, accompanying the screams were Ke Jinyun’s desperate assaults.

He used every method imaginable.

His sole intent was to kill the young man who destroyed his life’s work.

But his furious attacks couldn’t inflict any harm on Xue An.

Especially with the flower sea destroyed and his domain broken, Ke Jinyun’s attacks couldn’t even breach Xue An’s defenses.

So after watching the dazzling assault, Liao Zhiji watched his obstinate superior, yelling in frustration, vanish without leaving a trace.

The towering flames failed to penetrate the shadows within the young man’s eyes.

Upon witnessing this scene, Liao Zhiji shivered involuntarily.

In his imagination, this was bound to be a fierce battle.

After all, Ke Jinyun, as a leader of the Palace of Light, had his distinct capabilities.

The young man had mysterious means, but the objective wouldn’t be so easily achieved.

But... Ke Jinyun lasted less than a quarter-hour before being crushed.

This bloody reality made Liao Zhiji immediately understand.

This young man is extraordinary, and to survive, he must fully cooperate, without the slightest dissent.

With this thought, Liao Zhiji plastered a sycophantic smile across his face.

"My... My lord is mighty!"

Xue An merely glanced at him nonchalantly and said indifferently, "Alright! Come out!"

As his words fell, the once-raging fire quickly extinguished, and two figures emerged from the flames.

They were Duan Muguang and Wu Jun.

Wu Jun’s face was full of eager excitement, and upon seeing Xue An, he exclaimed in admiration.

"My lord, of what flame is the fire seed you gave us composed? Why is it so formidable?"

It’s known that Duan Muguang and Wu Jun’s most adept attack methods involved fire; thus, Xue An deployed them to ignite the fire in secret this time.

And Wu Jun was shocked by the fierce power after using the fire seed given by Xue An.

To this, Xue An simply smiled, "Nothing much, just a wisp of the strange flame I’ve cultivated!"

Wu Jun’s eyes brimmed with even more admiration.

He cultivated a strange flame...

This suggests that Xue An’s means might far transcend what he imagined!

In contrast, Duan Muguang was much calmer.

He looked around, slightly furrowing his brow.

"My lord, is Ke Jinyun dead?"

"Of course, it isn’t so simple!"

"Then where did he go?"

Xue An pointed with his hand below.

Duan Muguang was taken aback, "Underground?"

"Yes and no!"

Xue An stomped his foot abruptly, creating a massive impact that collapsed the surrounding dozens of meters of land, with countless cracks rapidly spreading outward.

From an aerial view, the scene looked as if a thunderbolt had suddenly exploded amid the charred sea of flowers.

And within these rent cracks, one could faintly glimpse the shimmering blood light below.

"What is this?" Wu Jun asked curiously, then bent down for a closer look.

As a result, what he saw shocked him to the core.

Because beneath wasn’t mere blood light, but real, actual blood!

And with so many cracks emitting the same light...

It implied that there should be a colossal lake below, amassed with blood.

Wu Jun was petrified by his conjecture.

If that were true, where did all this blood come from?

No wonder the sea of flowers flourished so luxuriantly; this was the true scene below!

Just then, the cracks began to effuse blood wildly.

Wu Jun, closest to it, nearly toppled into the blood, but it was Duan Muguang who reacted quickly and yanked him back by his collar.

Xue An frowned slightly, "Facing death, do you still wish to resist?"

With that, Xue An clenched his fist.

The charred soil was directly crushed into nothingness.

Thus, the vast blood pool beneath was fully revealed.

It was a hair-raising, terrifying sight.

In the pool, viscous blood surged, occasionally sending up massive columns of blood.

The air was filled with an unforgettable stench of blood.

Liao Zhiji was dumbfounded, murmuring, "So... so this is his true form!"

As Ke Jinyun’s subordinate, he had previously speculated that this sea of flowers was closely tied to Ke Jinyun.

But he never imagined the truth would be like this.

With this thought, he sneaked a glance at Xue An, seeing the young man standing quietly, eyes clear and exuding an inspiring demeanor.

Only such an individual could effortlessly uncover all enigmas, Liao Zhiji thought secretly.

But this was not the end; once exposed, the blood pool’s agitation accelerated, creating towering waves that surged towards Xue An and his group in the air.

Before the waves reached, the overwhelming stench alone testified that the blood was far from benign.

Yet, faced with this resentful counterattack, Xue An merely smiled coldly, and a flame emerged from his brow.

The flame was translucent, evoking dread.

Once this fire appeared, the otherwise rampant blood pool immediately fell silent, with the incoming waves pausing mid-air, gradually shaping into a humanoid form, bowing devoutly to Xue An.

Xue An’s Red Lotus Karma Fire is the nemesis of all things sinister under the heavens,

With such attribute bonuses, even if Ke Jinyun’s strength far surpassed Xue An, he was still utterly suppressed.

Indeed, if Xue An so wished, this flame alone could reduce Ke Jinyun’s true form to nothing.

Ke Jinyun was no fool and saw this clearly.

His decision was decisive, surrendering all resistance, lying flat in hope of mercy.

In terms of survival instincts, he and Liao Zhiji shared a similar nature as a superior and subordinate.

Watching the pleading Ke Jinyun, Xue An wasted no words.

"Two questions. First, why did you intend to annihilate Duan Muguang and Wu Jun?"
