Chapter 1018 A Sea of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower  

In an instant when Liu Yan canceled the Fire Elemental Domain, a multitude of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers surged forth.

A profusion of purplish-red mist spread in all directions.

These were the hallucinatory mists emitted by the pollen of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. Those with insufficient spirit energy who inhaled it would instantly lose consciousness, fall into a coma, or even become trapped in an eternal illusion.

As the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers initiated this psychic attack, many others of their kind launched an assault on Liu Yan.

These Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were usually not adept at physical attacks and mostly relied on safe psychic attacks. Yet, at this moment, they simultaneously launched both mental and physical attacks against Liu Yan.

Liu Yan's intense battle with the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had cultivated an immense hatred and fear within them.

However, Liu Yan remained utterly composed in the face of this multitude of attacking Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers's psychic attacks? Liu Yan's spirit energy was already of terrifying magnitude.

Despite these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers boasting 14-star combat strength, numerous and possessing formidable power, Liu Yan's spirit energy was more than sufficient to face them without fear. action

Regarding the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers' physical assaults, Liu Yan scarcely paid them any heed.

As long as his mental faculties remained unaffected, the physical attacks of these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers would be futile.

Even if Liu Yan's mental state were compromised, standing amidst these flowers and letting them attack his fearsome physical prowess would make it a time-consuming endeavor for them to harm him physically. Inflicting a fatal injury on Liu Yan through physical means would likely prove to be an exceedingly arduous task.

At this moment, Liu Yan responded with a counteroffensive against the overwhelming Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

His S-grade Wind Talent was invoked.

A torrent of disordered wind attribute elemental energy in the air was instantaneously drawn toward Liu Yan, then controlled by his will.

Under Liu Yan's manipulation, this surge of wind attribute elemental powers coalesced and was hurled toward the surrounding Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.

Small cyclones materialized, and the copious purple-red gas was swept away, preventing it from drawing near to Liu Yan. Simultaneously, Liu Yan drew his SS-grade weapon, the Thousand Thunder Halberd.

While Liu Yan was not a master of the halberd and lacked relevant skills, he possessed the S-grade skill "Dominate", granting him a rudimentary grasp of most weapons' usage.

Though not an expert, Liu Yan was still well-versed in using the halberd, which allowed him to wield it competently. While he might not fully unleash the Thousand Thunder Halberd's potential, he could employ a fraction of its combat strength, which sufficed to contend with the 14-star Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers around him.

With Liu Yan's swift maneuvers, the Thousand Thunder Halberd, despite its weight exceeding a thousand pounds, felt as nimble as an ordinary stick in his hands. However, upon contact with the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, it emitted a fearsome might.

The Thousand Thunder Halberd's strikes sent each Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower reeling, pushing back the others behind them as they retreated.

Some of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers succumbed to Liu Yan's blows, shattered the moment the halberd touched them, and their lives extinguished.

Others struck by Liu Yan's Thousand Thunder Halberd either shattered and perished on the spot or suffered debilitating injuries as they were forcefully repelled.

Amidst the encompassing Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, Liu Yan faced no danger nor any significant challenge. It was as if he had entered an unoccupied realm.

Against the host of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers obstructing his path, Liu Yan pressed forward relentlessly, journeying toward the heart of their habitat.

The previous day, Liu Yan had simultaneously battled and collected the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower corpses, enhancing his strength, particularly his spirit energy. As a consequence, his pace had been impeded.

However, with his significant extraction of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers the previous night, Liu Yan's power had burgeoned, his spirit energy reaching an astounding pinnacle.

He was well aware that ordinary Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers could no longer contribute to his growth. Even the formidable 14-star combat strength of the current Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers could only offer him marginal progress.

Thus, Liu Yan harbored no intention to squander time today. He hastened to venture deeper into the nucleus of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower habitat.

Throughout his journey, Liu Yan avoided prolonged battles. He focused solely on overcoming the obstructive Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers and preemptively engaging the assaulting ones.

Liu Yan refrained from taking the initiative to engage with the remaining Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers around him, as he was determined not to waste any more time in this endeavor.

After all, there was little time left for Liu Yan in the Origin Territory.

Liu Yan was keen on locating the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid as quickly as possible to complete his mission.

The multitude of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers in his vicinity couldn't hinder Liu Yan's relentless progress.

His strides never ceased, and he simultaneously swung the SS-grade weapon, the Thousand Thunder Halberd, as he pressed forward swiftly.

Coincidentally, Liu Yan also took down numerous Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers along his path. This process persisted for a substantial duration.

Liu Yan continued his method of advancing while attacking, and this pattern carried on for over two hours.

During these hours, Liu Yan had ventured deep into the forest. Despite being affected by the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, his speed remained consistently fast.

On his journey, the sheer quantity of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers he encountered was staggering, likely numbering in the hundreds of thousands.

Liu Yan found this surprising, he hadn't anticipated encountering such an immense number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers within the depths of the Hallucinatory Forest.

These were Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers with approximately 14-star combat strength, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. If they were to appear outside, the scene would be truly horrifying.

Earlier, when Liu Yan had encountered the Withered Tree Spirits, he had been struck by the sheer volume, akin to an ocean of them.

However, in comparison to the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, the Withered Tree Spirits appeared to be fewer.

The Withered Tree Spirits were relatively numerous, but the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were truly a massive presence.

Despite Liu Yan's formidable strength, dealing with these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers was a rather straightforward task.

However, if Liu Yan were to confront such an enormous number of them, exhaustion could easily overcome him.

The challenge was not a lack of Liu Yan's strength, stamina, or sustained combat capability. It was simply that the quantity of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers was excessively overwhelming.

"Considering the overwhelming number of these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, it seems that if a battle were to break out between the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers and your Withered Tree Spirits, your chances of winning are very small?" Liu Yan conversed internally with the Withered Tree Spirit King.

The Withered Tree Spirit King had already established a Soul Contact with Liu Yan, allowing this immense entity to be contained within Liu Yan's alternate dimension.

Thanks to the Soul Contact, Liu Yan and the Withered Tree Spirit King could share their thoughts, enabling direct communication.

Upon hearing Liu Yan's musings, the Withered Tree Spirit King indicated that the higher number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers compared to Withered Tree Spirits was entirely normal.

Firstly, the growth cycle of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers was much shorter than that of the Withered Tree Spirits. A Withered Tree Spirit needed several years to reach maturity, whereas a Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower might only require a single season.

Secondly, the unique territory of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers played a role. The Withered Tree Spirits resided in an area rich in wood attribute elemental powers, whereas the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers' habitat was unique, brimming not only with a significant amount of mental attribute power but also hosting an unusual terrain, perhaps concealing potent treasures.

These factors contributed to the rapid growth of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, surpassing that of the Withered Tree Spirits.

The Withered Tree Spirit King further explained that despite the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers' larger numbers and rapid growth, the Withered Tree Spirits were not intimidated by them.

The mental attacks of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were ineffective against the Withered Tree Spirits.

Despite the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers' numerical superiority, a single Withered Tree Spirit could handle over a hundred of them with ease. Consequently, if the two races were to engage in conflict, the Withered Tree Spirits would hold a substantial advantage.

This understanding led to a relatively peaceful coexistence between the two races, as the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers refrained from provoking the Withered Tree Spirits.
