“Immortal?” Li Cheng颐 exhaled softly, his brow furrowed slightly beneath his helmet.

This was a bit tricky.

In the distance, within the red light, a new dark red humanoid form rapidly coalesced, once again revealing the complete figure of the Faceless Scholar.

Indeed, as he had said, as the original entity, he possessed absolute immortality here.

Moreover, the same attack likely wouldn't be very effective a second time.

"Troublesome…" Having fought to this point, Li Cheng颐 had essentially probed the other's abilities.

The same attack would be significantly weakened the second time.

Although not as powerful as the Faceless Scholar he had seen in his prime, he was close to his complete form.

He glanced back at the increasingly dark giant rift behind him, the blackness within having completely dyed the sky pitch black.

After discovering that the black snow was harmful to life, he had been suppressing himself.

To this point, he hadn't fully donned the complete Flora God Armor, unleashing his full power.

Precisely because he realized that he was the cause of that world-freezing cataclysm, he dared not completely wear the Flora God Armor.

Because…

That version of himself was simply too powerful.

After the Flora God Armor merged with the Twelve Flower Languages, in addition to equipment and weapons, two abilities were born.

The first was the Diadem of Utmost Evil, capable of absorbing any evil malice and transforming it into its own defense. The stronger the malice, the stronger the protection.

The second was the infamous… Primeval Evil Earth!

From the moment one completely donned the Flora God Armor, displaying the form of the Flora Emperor, the surrounding environment would naturally deteriorate, completely dyed into a Primeval Earth environment, irreversibly. All creatures on the Primeval Earth would suffer severe degradation, losing themselves, twisting their minds and bodies, turning into pure derivatives knowing only slaughter and destruction.

Originally, Li Cheng颐 planned to use the Flora God Armor's fusion transparency to resolve Huo Qingkong, so as to avoid the spread and pollution of Primeval Evil Earth.

Unfortunately, he still failed… The other's immortality exceeded his expectations.

Red light once again spread from Huo Qingkong, attempting to paint a trace of its own color in the dark world.

Swish! !

Suddenly, the transparent blur on Li Cheng颐's body suddenly dissipated.

"Sorry… To protect everything…"

He released the golden sword in his hand, allowing it to scatter into countless golden petals and disappear.

A huge gray disc, distributed with the imprints of twelve kinds of flowers, slowly floated behind him.

The pure white cloak rustled, its edges gleaming with silver light, dancing and shaking constantly with his silver hair.

Swish!

Suddenly, Li Cheng颐 raised his right hand, reaching towards the sky.

"Primeval Earth!" he roared in a low voice.

Rumble! !

A silver-white light, as brilliant as the sun, fell from the rift in the sky, connecting heaven and earth, completely illuminating everything.

The light fell into his hand, turning into an untouchable silver burning sword.

The silver light burning on the sword now overwhelmed all surrounding light, becoming the only color.

This was the Flora Emperor's only weapon – Primeval Earth.

And the Flora God Armor on his body was the Emperor's only protection – the Royal City!

Their powers were each connected to the real Primeval Earth Royal City.

That ancient homeland, long reduced to ruins and relics, now, under the call of the Flora God Armor, from the endless depths of the Black Sea, once again came the echoes of the ancient divine era.

A strange but sacred music, accompanied by countless hymns, descended from the sky, resounding throughout Pan Guang.

"Freeze…"

Li Cheng颐 held the Primeval Earth Sword, aimed it at the Faceless Scholar, and slashed down.

Swish! ! !

The silver-white sword light roared downwards, cutting through the sky, cutting through the earth, cutting through the center of the Faceless Scholar's body.

Everything was completely still at the moment the sword fell.

Time seemed to completely solidify.

The wind stopped, the light stopped, the Faceless Scholar's laughing face, the countless heads on his body, were all like being pressed on the pause button, still and unmoving.

The red and silver bordered true fire on his body was also maintained in a burning posture, completely motionless.

The silver sword light cut through his body, cutting open the earth, extending all the way to the endless horizon.

In the Black Sea.

The huge Pan Guang Dead Angle was still gulping and swallowing all the auras of passing things.

The massive Dead Angle body repeated this action constantly, as it had for millions of years.

Just then, a point of silver light lit up from its left side.

The silver light rapidly brightened, changing from a sesame seed point to rapidly enlarge and lengthen, turning into a silver line, silently cutting through the upper left corner of the Dead Angle.

Chih!

That large piece of the Dead Angle corner was cut off on the spot and separated, slowly flying towards the distant Black Sea with residual debris.

The Pan Guang Dead Angle let out a painful wail, its entire volume forcibly cut off by a third with this sword!

The Dead Angle struggled, stretching out countless translucent dark red tentacles, turning into silk-like smoke, flying towards the silver light's location, attempting to completely drive away the source.

But the damage was not limited to this.

Where the silver light cut through, large black spots began to spread on its body.

That was Evil Earth-ification… Primeval Evil Earth began to take root and sprout here, transforming into eternal damage reshaping the world.

"The attacks of Primeval Earth will not dissipate… It is a sword of eternal existence, and the damage attributes attached to it are determined by the type of Flower Language ability."

Li Cheng颐 held the Primeval Earth Sword, and information about the Evil Flower naturally surged into his heart.

The degradation and pollution of Primeval Evil Earth could not be avoided. That was a natural disaster caused by his own existence.

It was not the deliberate doing of the Evil Flower, but rather that wherever it was, as long as it showed its complete form, it would lead to the degradation of everything around it.

Just as the previous Flora Emperor had said.

'Only the purest ugliness can nourish and bloom the most beautiful flowers.'

"Is this the so-called, there cannot be anything more beautiful than me where I am?"

Li Cheng颐 felt something in his heart.

Yes… As long as everything around him became ugly, then the unchanged him would definitely be the most beautiful.

The Evil Flower… truly wicked beyond compare.

No wonder the previous Flora Emperor was besieged. Fortunately, this power fell into my hands.

At this time, the Primeval Earth and Flora God Armor quickly dissipated and disappeared.

The pitch-black rift in the sky also dissipated along with it, and the surrounding light quickly brightened, the sunlight illuminating the earth, bringing light back to everyone's eyes.

The previous fight was too violent and chaotic, so that except for the Saint Spirit Daoist and Qing Yang Real Person, two True Fire experts who had some perception, the others were unaware, only seeing the sky and earth were pitch black, and then a silver light shone brightly in the darkness, and the Faceless Scholar was struck by a sword, solidified in mid-air and motionless.

Then everything returned to its original state. The red light disappeared, the darkness disappeared, as if everything had returned to its initial state.

The Faceless Scholar floated quietly in mid-air. His current state was completely frozen by Primeval Earth at the moment of his previous recovery.

Before the secondary weakening trait on his body could take effect, the power of freezing completely controlled his time in one fell swoop.

As the Primeval Earth Sword fused with all the Flower Language abilities, its freezing ability came from the Flower Language Love Seal.

But it was an enhanced version of the seal.

After calculating the difference in lifespan, the difference would be multiplied by ten. Li Cheng颐 did not know exactly how much time it was, but even if it was the minimum limit, if his lifespan was not longer than the other party's, it would forcibly freeze him for ten years.

In ten years, if he was not collected, the Faceless Scholar would remain suspended here, turning into a landmark, stiff and unmoving, unable to be touched.

"It seems I won… This world was ultimately pulled back from the brink of destruction by me…" Li Cheng颐 sighed, relieved.

He now suddenly understood why most of the Black Sea bosses wandered and lived in the Black Sea, rather than inside the Dead Angles.

Under just the movements just now, he slightly wore the Flora God Armor, and this Dead Angle was almost completely polluted and dyed, turning into eternal frozen soil, with all living things dead.

If he really fought with a powerhouse of the same level, the aftermath alone would be enough to destroy the Dead Angle countless times.

At this time, the original forest sea in the sky and on the ground had completely disappeared, replaced by a huge pit and canyon.

The terrain was permanently changed, and perhaps future generations would give it a name similar to the Heavenly Sword Gorge.

Li Cheng颐 flew in front of the Faceless Scholar and pointed a finger.

Suddenly, the Faceless Scholar shrank, turning into a golden round bead, flying into his palm.

He couldn't leave the other party here, otherwise, after the seal ended in ten years, this world would still be finished.

It was better for him to take it away himself.

Putting away the bead, Li Cheng颐 looked back at the Faceless Sword Sect's駐地 (zhùdì; encampment/barracks).

It was a mess there, with potholes everywhere. Most of the houses had collapsed into ruins. Only thirty or so of the hundred disciples remained in place, maintaining the barely surviving formation light.

In front of the Faceless Great Hall, the Sect Master, Saint Spirit Daoist, looked pale and blood dripped from the corners of his mouth. The remaining three of the six elders, including Kui Ling, also had faces like gold paper, obviously suffering heavy injuries.

Li Cheng颐 sighed softly. The Flora God Armor's enhancement to him was too great, with all physical qualities increasing by an average of a thousand times the upper limit.

At the same time, the Primeval Earth Divine Sword's attack also possessed the terrifying effect of eternal freezing. Not only that, in that short moment, he only wore the Flora God Armor for a moment, and the pollution of the Primeval Evil Earth completely turned the surrounding thousands of miles into Evil Earth.

It was impossible to see anything now, but in the future, the trouble of Evil Earth would gradually become prominent.

'Fortunately, no one knows it's my passive ability. I'll just say it was Senior Brother's doing later.'

Li Cheng颐's thoughts flashed in his mind.

"Anyway, the Faceless Scholar can't talk, and he's about to destroy the world and restart it, so he probably won't mind carrying some black marks."

After thinking about his explanation, Li Cheng颐 dissipated the dragonification on his body, only wearing the Wisteria Flower Scale Armor on his lower body to cover the vital points, and flew towards the Faceless Sword Sect.

After completely defeating the Faceless Scholar, he could already feel an invisible force of rejection from this world towards him.

Presumably this was the Dead Angle reward after he saved everything.

Li Cheng颐 was gratified in his heart.

Just as he was about to shadow flash, suddenly a voice sounded in his heart.

"Bai Lu, although I really didn't have any consciousness just now, doing this is not very good…"

Li Cheng颐's face stiffened.

It was Huo Qingkong!?

He actually… The Primeval Earth's freezing seal couldn't have gone wrong!!?

"It's not that there's something wrong with your ability. That power clearly froze the world-destroying divided spirit in my body, but it didn't have any impact or harm on me. It's just that my body is sealed and I can't move now," Huo Qingkong sighed.

"Sorry… I overestimated myself too much," he said in a low voice. "Fortunately, you took action in time, controlled the situation, and didn't cause much damage."
