Chapter 328 - 321: No One Can Compare to Her

Chapter 328: Chapter 321: No One Can Compare to Her

Long after her silhouette had been completely swallowed by the Black Sea, Huang Ziyue and the other five men remained standing in place. Gazing at the darkness that devoured everything, they clenched their fists so tightly that their knuckles turned white.

Their hearts felt as though gripped by an invisible hand, suspended in mid-air.

Mu Silin’s eyes were red. "Are we just supposed to watch her enter the Black Sea alone, completely unable to do anything?"

Ye Siqi’s heart ached with heavy grief. "Think of something. What else can we do?"

Bai Chaosi’s gentle face was etched with anxiety and powerlessness. "If there really is a Devouring God Flower in the Black Sea, us going there would only add to her troubles. All we can do is wait."

Standing off to the side, Yun Lie Ting, who had been completely bewildered from start to finish, widened his eyes. "What did you say? What flower?"

Yesterday, when Shen Yue mentioned she was going into the Black Sea alone, he had overheard her say something about a flower, which had left him utterly puzzled. After taking a short nap, he woke up only to realize that Shen Yue had already departed.

When he sprinted after them, he discovered that these five men hadn’t slept at all the previous night. They had kept watch outside Shen Yue’s quarters the entire time. He was the only one who had slept soundly.

Having tagged along quietly all the way to the edge of the Black Sea without daring to make a sound, he was now taken aback to hear about this flower again. "What flower are you talking about?"

He felt like he had heard of it somewhere before.

Gu Fangqi looked at him, kindly clearing up his confusion. "The Devouring God Flower—the legendary World-Destroying Flower that even the Beast God is powerless against."

Yun Lie Ting’s pupils shrank drastically.

The blood in his veins seemed to freeze in an instant. His previously foggy and bewildered mind was suddenly slammed by the words "World-Destroying Flower," making his eardrums ring.

No wonder it sounded familiar, though he couldn’t recall where he had heard of it no matter how hard he tried. He had once glimpsed a few fragmented sentences about it in the oldest forbidden codices passed down by the past Beast Kings!

The World-Destroying Flower fed on spiritual power and rooted itself in the flesh of living beings. Wherever it bloomed, gods would fall, clans would perish, and no life would survive.

So, what Shen Yue was stepping into alone was not some unknown, treacherous undercurrent, but an apocalyptic catastrophe capable of swallowing the entire ocean and annihilating the whole Beast World.

Shocked speechless, he stared at Mu Silin and the others. "I-isn’t this kind of thing just a legend? How could it appear..."

Gu Fangqi’s handsome, uninhibited face exuded a gloomy resignation to the unpredictability of the world. "Exactly. If we hadn’t seen it with our own eyes and experienced it ourselves, who would believe that such a thing could genuinely appear right beside us?"

"What did you say? You... you saw it with your own eyes?" Yun Lie Ting asked, horrified. "What exactly is going on?"

He was desperate to know.

Gu Fangqi sighed heavily, exchanging glances with Mu Silin, Bai Chaosi, and the others. Seeing the indelible, lingering fear in each other’s eyes, Mu Silin eventually spoke up, recounting that thrilling and harrowing past to Yun Lie Ting, word by word.

From the moment Shen Yue gave birth to her cubs alone in Wilderness Mountain, to falling into the underground crevice, being besieged by the Lizardmen, and laying eyes on the World-Destroying Flower for the first time. Then came the attack by the men in black, where Shen Yue fought a bloody battle to protect the children, surviving by a hair’s breadth. Next was their departure from Wilderness Mountain, the Lizardmen massacring the Beastmen there, Shen Yue being captured by the men in black, Bai Chaosi’s brush with danger, and the Lizardmen’s surprise attack on Barbaric City. And finally, everything the City Lord of Li City had done within Li City.

They spoke of how Shen Yue had repeatedly drawn upon her own life force to save everyone from dire straits. She was the only person in this world capable of contending against the Devouring God Flower, and it was her destiny to walk this fatal path into the Black Sea alone.

They didn’t intentionally exaggerate the dangers, even glossing over some parts of the ordeal. Yet, behind every plain sentence lay the terrifying reality of narrow escapes from death. Everything Shen Yue and the children had experienced was undeniably a perilous journey where every step risked their lives.

Standing at the edge of the Black Sea, Yun Lie Ting listened as cold sweat poured down his body, soaking the shirt clinging to his back. A gust of cold wind blew past, chilling him to the bone.

He had never known that Shen Yue, taking those frail children with her, had gone through so much hell. He had known even less that this seemingly calm and composed woman had already brushed shoulders with death countless times in places unknown to anyone. Using her own body, she had protected everyone she cared about.

And what about him?

When she was giving birth alone in the barren wilderness, he had been busy hating her.

When she faced danger alone with the children, he had been hating her.

When she was chased and hunted by the men in black, barely escaping with her life, he had still been hating and despising her.

Even when she had finally managed to bring the children to Barbaric City to live a few peaceful days, he had chased after her from thousands of miles away out of sheer hatred, coming just to snatch the children away...
