Chapter 319: The Towering Tower, the Apostles of the God of Demonic Flowers

The tower's door stood wide open.

Ye Qiyan did not recall Scoundrel back into the Armament Space.

He walked forward, bringing it along with Lisette.

"This is the place."

Forward, enter.

They passed through a layer of pinkish-green light screen.

The scene inside this tall tower came into view.

A sea of pink and purple flowers swayed continuously under the gentle breeze.

The size here was far greater than what could be seen from the outside.

In other words, this place also employed spatial compression similar to that of the Train's interior space.

In the very center of this flower sea.

A humanoid flower demon monster slowly rose from the ground.

"Human, hehehe, truly audacious, daring to trespass upon the domain of my God. Do you think that with these two things by your side, you can defeat my God? Become a God Slayer?"

"Stupid, ridiculous!"

My God? So, this creature isn't the Demon Flower God itself?

"Are you the God?"

He asked this deliberately.

Demon Card · Bewitchment~

Quietly manifested.

"Foolish human, I am the great Demon Flower God's Seventh Apostle, Ali Bu! The flower sea of my God will eventually envelop and devour the Endless Wasteland! Hahahaha!"

"So you're only the Seventh Apostle. What about the six before you? Where are they?"

Ali Bu didn't detect anything amiss at all, still answering with a giggle:

"They are above, guarding my God. If you can kill me, you'll meet the next one. But, impossible, hehe! Weak human, you will die here! Definitely!"

"Understood. So, if I deal with you seven apostles, I can meet the God you speak of, right?"

Ali Bu frowned, feeling an indescribable strangeness somewhere, but it still answered instinctively:

"Naturally so. My God watches all from the highest point. I...! Huh!"

Boom——!

A loud, resonant sound echoed throughout this space.

Ali Bu knelt on the ground in terror.

"My God, I know my mistake. I, I don't know why I said those things!"

"It's, it's all your fault! Damned human! I will..."

"Kill you!"

The purple flower bud on Ali Bu's head instantly opened, revealing the fangs within.

Purple pollen and a storm formed a tornado shape, surging violently towards Ye Qiyan, Lisette, and them.

"Perish!"

However...

When the demon stood in front.

The stake at its feet plunged into the earth.

Lava and Decay, these two shields combined, completely blocking Ali Bu's attack outside.

"Roar!"

Moreover, Scoundrel's base physical attributes had been greatly enhanced after being strengthened by that Steam Demigod's mechanical core.

At the very least, it wouldn't reach a state where the shields were perfectly fine, but its own body was nearly shattered.

"A mere low-level machine dares to resist the power bestowed by my God?!"

Seeing this situation, Ali Bu was furious.

The flower on its head grew even more vibrant, more purple pollen storms shooting towards Ye Qiyan's direction.

The vast majority of them were even aimed directly at Ye Qiyan himself.

"Want to finish me off directly?"

"Scoundrel, keep holding!"

Decay and Lava.

The two shields emitted a faint hum.

The stake beneath Scoundrel's feet pulled out from the ground.

The intense steam mechanical core activated at this moment.

Scoundrel, holding up the shields, pushed forward continuously.

The Demon Flower God's Seventh Apostle, Ali Bu, watched the scene before it in horror.

"How is this possible?"

"The power bestowed by my God, how could it be blocked by a mere machine?!"

Indeed, under normal circumstances, Scoundrel absolutely could not block this power.

But those two shields were genuinely transformed from real Divine Cores.

A mere apostle? If it could shatter shields transformed from cores just like that?

That would truly be problematic.

"Roar!"

Scoundrel let out roars.

It pushed the shields with all its might until it reached the God's Apostle named Ali Bu.

"No, how is this possible? How could I lose like this?! I am, an Apostle of God!"

"If you only have this one method of attack~"

Ye Qiyan stood behind Scoundrel.

Raised his palm, aimed at Ali Bu, and slowly made a grasping motion.

"Then, die first."

Crash!

Decay and Lava were lifted high, then, slammed down heavily.

Ali Bu didn't even have time to say anything more.

It was crushed beneath the two.

Decay / Lava.

The two effects corrupted its corpse, then, burned it to ashes completely.

Whoosh——!

A fierce wind blew through.

A single spark ignited a raging inferno in this space.

Ye Qiyan stood amidst the purple flower sea.

The Ice Vein Heart Pearl added a layer of temperature-isolating barrier around him.

"This thing, wasn't burned away."

Amidst the flames and decay.

A pale purple seed managed to maintain its most basic form relatively intact under the influence of these two forces.

【Aloeswood Flower Seed (Level 5 Plant)】

【Aloeswood Flower: Emits a special, alluring floral fragrance, can be used to make perfume】

This was the seed of Ali Bu's original form.

It just so happened it could be placed in the cultivation carriage, providing a new option for the Giant Sting Bees' honey collection.

"Next, it's the second floor."

A door leading to the upper level slowly opened in the sky above Ye Qiyan.

"Heh, actively opened the door to the second floor?"

"So, even after seeing the two shields in Scoundrel's hands, they still feel confident and unafraid~"

"Should I say, as expected of a God?"

Celestial Comet Drive activated.

Ye Qiyan soared into the air.

"Then I can't disgrace humanity too much, can I?"

He recalled Scoundrel into the Armament Space and ascended together with Lisette, upward.

Until they entered the passage to the second floor.

Here, there was another new flower sea.

A flower sea formed from the dismembered limbs and broken sections of various lives.

In the center of this "flower sea".

A flower demon similar to yet distinctly different from Ali Bu was located at the center.

It slowly rose.

Opened its bloody maw.

Its teeth were not teeth.

But rows upon rows of eerie things resembling human infant arms.

"Hu, man, I am, the Sixth Apostle——!"

Anomaly?

Before this creature could announce its name.

Ye Qiyan took out the Pure Cleansing Stone.

When that gentle, heart-warming light filled this space.

The name became a scream.

"Ah!!!"

Agonized wails, high-pitched shrieks!

The entire "limb flower sea" gradually dissipated under this warm light.

When the light faded.

The Sixth Apostle named "Ah" was completely charred black.

The surrounding "flower sea" was even burned into powder by the light.

Should one say, this is indeed a God's Apostle?

A single strike from the Pure Cleansing Stone, after multiple Sublimations, actually didn't finish off this creature.

"Hu, you! Ah!"

Thus, the Pure Cleansing Stone emitted its second burst of light.

Third time, fourth time... sixteenth time.

Until, this possibly-some-mysterious-ability-having eerie limb flower completely turned to ashes, scattering with the wind.

"Next."
