Chapter 371 – The Gathering of Three Flowers at the Apex, Is This Your Last Words?

In the dim, gloomy secret space, two figures were engaged in an intense aerial battle.

One figure radiated a golden light, exuding a brilliance akin to the sun with every movement.

The other figure was shrouded in an aurora, her golden hair swaying like a flag, intertwining vibrant lights with every strike.

Perfect form of the second limit break-[Deity]!

After entering the [Deity] form, Lu Yuan’s blood pill disappeared, merging into his flesh, bones, and blood.

The three flowers were imprinted on his chest in the form of three solar blood ring patterns.

His strength came from every cell in his body.

Every cell was glowing.

The aurora on his body surface was the collective display of countless cells’ radiance, an incredibly intense and powerful life magnetic field energy!

“Swish-“

Lu Yuan moved, driven by the powerful life magnetic field force, reaching an unbelievable speed.

Breaking through multiple invisible barriers in the air, accompanied by a series of sonic booms, he instantaneously appeared in front of the golden figure.

In the [Deity] form, he stood nearly four meters tall, a head taller than the golden figure.

He spread his fingers wide, reaching down from above, simultaneously aiming at the golden figure’s shoulders on both sides.

“Grandmaster Underworld Crow Style. Seize the Moon Three Chains!”

The sharp air currents at his fingertips carried an overwhelming momentum.

The intertwined, dazzling aurora was both ethereal and beautiful, hidden within it was a desperate killer’s intent to tear through the clouds and seize the moon.

But before Lu Yuan’s claws fell, a massive golden light rapidly blossomed before his eyes.

His claws felt like they were grabbing a scorching, expanding giant sphere, and the terrifying pressure continued to push his hands outward, nullifying his attack.

Lu Yuan’s eyes did not waver, his expression remained stoic as he gently inhaled.

He shifted his grip from tearing to squeezing, embracing the huge sphere with force!

“Boom!”

The gigantic energy sphere and the terrifying invisible force were directly crushed by Lu Yuan’s powerful squeeze.

Lu Yuan broke through, his aurora-clad arms collided fiercely with the blazing golden energy, releasing waves of intense aftershocks.

He quickly managed to embrace the golden figure at the center of the energy field.

Without any hesitation, Lu Yuan’s right knee swiftly thrust upward with a ferocious momentum, the ensuing force exploding between them like a small nuclear bomb.

“Boom!”

Lu Yuan felt as if his knee had struck an incredibly hard steel plate.

The terrifying force attached to his knee was abruptly suppressed by something after it exploded.

Suddenly, a fist hammered into his abdomen.

The energy it unleashed surpassed the force of his knee strike, resembling a higher-yield nuclear bomb detonating.

Lu Yuan groaned, his serpent-like intertwining arms loosening slightly. The figure in his hold slipped away like a fish.

“Whoosh-“

Lu Yuan exhaled deeply.

He glanced down to inspect the spot where he had been hit.

A deep, radiating depression appeared on his abdomen, with the surrounding flesh twisted outwards, but it was quickly healing under the merging aurora.

Lu Yuan lifted his head, his expression unfazed, locking eyes with the golden figure ahead, whose face bore a playful smirk.

“The strength you’ve shown is far from matching your boastful words…”

“And you’re much weaker than I anticipated. Nowhere near the ninth-stage combat power…”

Roya’s hands rested casually at his sides, his golden alloy fingers flexing indifferently, a faint sneer and contempt on his face.

His eyes bore into Lu Yuan as if he were a toy to be played with at will.

Lu Yuan didn’t speak; he merely smirked self-deprecatingly.

“The Rotation of Two Flowers!”

As he performed the secret technique, the outermost circle of the solar blood ring, representing the Three Flowers on his chest, abruptly contracted inward.

It fused with the second ring, extending numerous blood patterns.

In an instant, the aurora weaving around Lu Yuan intensified several times over, his long hair lifting without wind, each strand seemingly aflame with platinum-colored aurora flames.

A massive life magnetic field expanded outward, the invisible force swelling and rotating.

At the center of the aurora interwoven vortex, Lu Yuan slowly stretched his body…

“Tsk-“

Roya’s golden-red gemstone eyes glowed slightly, a light tsk of surprise escaping his lips upon witnessing the scene.

In the next moment, Lu Yuan vanished from Roya’s sight.

Roya’s eyes narrowed.

“Buzz-“

A faint tremor filled the air.

Roya’s form transformed into a streak of golden light, disappearing from his original spot.

“Boom!”

A massive wave of air exploded in the sky, the golden and shimmering white figures collided and separated instantaneously.

Then, they clashed again.

Their movements were beyond supersonic, their speed astonishing.

Without ninth-stage mental power, it was impossible to see the specifics of their battle.

“Bang! Bang!”

Lu Yuan’s continuous punches, cloaked in aurora, repeatedly collided with Roya’s fists.

The terrifying counter-force caused ripples to continuously appear on the surface of Lu Yuan’s skin.

Lu Yuan launched a punch, and Roya extended his hand to block it.

However, Lu Yuan’s fist, as agile as a snake, slipped through the gap between Roya’s arms and landed a heavy blow on his chin.

“Thud!”

Intense golden-red light emanated from Roya’s body, the massive shock force penetrating through the energy protective field, causing his head to jerk upwards.

Before Roya’s body could adjust, Lu Yuan’s long, aurora-like hair rotated like flames, and he swung with a fierce kick aimed at Roya’s chest.

But Roya’s hands firmly blocked the kick.

His sturdy alloy arms, like golden combat knives, slashed towards Lu Yuan from both sides, cutting through the air and producing a series of intense sonic booms.

In his [Deity] form, Lu Yuan’s [Grandmaster of Martial Arts] combat instincts were honed to the extreme.

His battle techniques were unparalleled.

However, Roya seemed fitted with a highly advanced algorithmic tool, effortlessly matching Lu Yuan’s attacks, and even had the energy to speak.

“Now this is getting interesting…”

Roya casually parried Lu Yuan’s frontal punch, laughing, “But still too weak, too weak, too weak…”

“Boom!”

A sudden burst of blinding light, reminiscent of the noonday sun, erupted from Roya’s body. The terrifying energy explosion instantly sent Lu Yuan flying backward.

“An attack of this magnitude can’t even breach my energy shield!”

“Pathetic!”

Roya spread his arms wide, standing as if at the sun’s center.

His entire body emitted dazzling golden light, radiating waves of intense heat.

His aura soared higher and higher, distorting pockets of air, as if he were on the verge of completely replacing the sun itself.

But at that moment…

A brilliant streak of aurora shot forth from a distance.

“[Finishing Skill-Deity. No Style]!”

Lu Yuan transformed into pure aurora, piercing through the golden energy surrounding Roya.

His right arm fully merged with the aurora, resembling an extraordinary blade forged from celestial light. It traced an indescribable and wondrous path, driving straight in.

The energy shield around Roya’s alloy body silently parted, rippling along the edges of Lu Yuan’s palm.

Lu Yuan’s right arm completely broke through, delivering a hand strike to Roya’s neck.

“Sizzle-“

A series of golden sparks flew.

“Boom!”

The dazzling golden light and energy field around Roya exploded.

Lu Yuan reappeared behind Roya.

He turned.

In his eyes, adorned with blooming auroras, was Roya’s staggering form.

But in the next second, his expression froze.

“Crack-pong!”

Roya mimicked a fit of convulsions with an eerie chuckle, then swiftly turned around.

“Heh.”

Roya, grinning widely, looked at Lu Yuan.

A conspicuous cut marked the alloy bones of his neck.

But it was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In mere moments, the cut had vanished entirely.

“Click, click-“

Roya slightly twisted his neck, the soft sounds of alloy friction and clash echoing.

“Have you heard of the legend of Albis Boro?”

Roya smiled, addressing Lu Yuan: “The deity who drives the sun chariot, governing the daylight.”

“The legend says that every star in the universe is but a fragment of fiery debris left behind by Albis Boro’s sun chariot…”

“The super divine level mecha, Albis Boro, was forged from these stellar remnants.”

“Of course, it has a more colloquial name-stellar forging material.”

“And my body…”

Roya glanced down, his eyes filled with immense satisfaction and pride as he surveyed his own form, and whispered, “is from the same origin as Albis Boro. It, too, is… super divine!”

“Now then…”

Roya looked up with a smile, his gaze gently landing on Lu Yuan, and spoke each word deliberately, “Do you feel despair?”

Lu Yuan remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

In the vision that only he could see, a countdown timer ticked away relentlessly.

“[Deity] form time is running out…”

Lu Yuan hadn’t anticipated that Roya’s modified body would be of super divine level.

Before the battle, he had specifically spent 3 attribute points to add 1 intelligence point, pushing his intelligence to 37 points, ensuring that his [Deity] form combined with the secret technique of The Fusion of Two Flowers would firmly place him at the ninth stage.

But even with those measures, using [Deity. No Style] did not inflict significant damage on Roya.

Prior to this, he had easily defeated opponents in super divine level mechas with [Deity. No Style].

“The gap between super divine level and divine level mechas is immense, just like the gap between the ninth and tenth stages…”

Lu Yuan silently lamented in his heart.

The countdown continued to diminish.

Roya’s displayed strength seemed overwhelmingly despairing.

Yet Lu Yuan’s mind was unexpectedly calm.

He didn’t appear worried about the upcoming turn of events.

Because…

“That crucial 1 intelligence point…”

Lu Yuan noted that the two remaining solar blood rings on his chest were gradually converging, intricate and beautiful blood patterns rapidly growing from them.

“Has allowed me to glimpse the key to the Three Flowers Fusion.”

“Whoosh-“

As Lu Yuan gently exhaled, the two blood rings at his chest completely merged into one.

And at the exact moment when the singular blood ring, formed from the fusion of three, fully materialized…

“Boom!”

An infinite surge of aurora burst from Lu Yuan’s pores, engulfing his entire body.

The colorful aurora was so intense it morphed into flames.

These blazing aurora flames enveloped Lu Yuan completely.

The overwhelming life energy caused the space around him to vibrate, as if it could barely withstand the pressure.

A massive vortex appeared out of nowhere.

It slowly revolved around Lu Yuan.

Witnessing this with his own eyes, Roya sensed the immense energy within the aurora flames, and his smile froze instantly.

His expression and gaze quickly turned grim.

“Whoosh-“

The sound was like a passing breeze.

The trembling void steadied.

In the blink of an eye, the massive vortex reversed and contracted like water flowing backward.

“Ding-“

Accompanied by a crisp, melodious sound, Lu Yuan, now calm and composed, stepped out of the aurora flames.

His arms hung naturally at his sides, his fingers flexing smoothly.

The collision of his fingers produced sounds akin to the chime of gold and jade.

“Three Flowers Fusion… no, it should be the Gathering of Three Flowers at the Apex.”

Lu Yuan’s eyes interwove black thunder, and pure white flames flowed over his body.

At this moment, Roya fell silent.

After a long pause, he spoke in a deep voice, now devoid of any trace of light-heartedness or mockery.

“What is this…power?”

Lu Yuan, looking down from his elevated position, regarded Roya with a serene expression.

“Is that meant to be your final words? Mr. Super Divine Level Scrap?”
