Chapter 6393 Grand Dao Flower

Outside the battlefield, the ground suddenly collapsed. The gentle flow of Grand Dao qi turned violent, and space itself started to cave in.

Countless spectators watching from afar were sucked into the collapsing void and crushed to dust.

“Run!”

Terrified screams echoed through the air. None of them understood what was happening. They were so far from the battlefield that they could not even see the fight, yet the destruction had already reached them.

What they did not know was that the area covered by the grand formation had become a land of death.

Vortices ripped open one after another, and cracks spread through space like gaping maws devouring everything.

These spatial cracks started at the outer edge of the formation and closed inward, tightening like a net. Everyone trapped inside was no more than a fish caught in it.

Fortunately, the net was so big, leaving gaps through which some managed to escape. But the less fortunate were consumed by the cracks and vortices, ground to dust beneath the crushing force of Grand Dao energy.

This power was like a millstone pulverizing ants. No one could resist at all. Even Divine Sovereign magical items were worthless. Those already damaged collapsed instantly, unable to withstand the Grand Dao’s might.

“Zhi Zhi, stop! You’ll die!” Long Chen shouted as he sensed the disturbance.

Zhi Zhi was forcing the grand formation’s power into inversion by copying it, and the backlash was enough to crush it outright.

The Grand Dao energy carried the power to crush karmic luck. If it shattered Zhi Zhi’s body here, its true body within the primal chaos space would be annihilated as well.

“Zhizhi...” muttered Zhi Zhi.

“Fool, do you want to die?!” Long Chen roared.

However, Zhi Zhi refused to yield. It treated this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and continued frantically copying the runes into its body. Stubborn as ever, it raced against time, unwilling to stop.

Long Chen gathered his Spiritual Strength, ready to forcibly pull Zhi Zhi back. Since it had formally recognized him as master, it could not disobey his will.

“Zhizhi...”

This time, Zhi Zhi’s voice carried a desperate, pleading tone. It begged Long Chen not to stop it.

That stubbornness struck Long Chen’s heart. It reminded him of his own past self—and for a moment, he hesitated.

Even the Earth Cauldron was in a panic. This was a power so vast that not even it could guarantee Zhi Zhi’s survival.

“Big Brother Long Chen!”

Huo Linger’s anxious voice rang out, and Long Chen hastily rushed back to the battlefield.

Grand Dao runes covered the heavens, forming a barrier that sealed the heart of the battlefield. At the same time, an immense suction force covered everyone, making even Long Chen’s soul shudder.

“What is that?!” he asked in shock.

A colossal lotus with twelve petals appeared at the center of the battlefield, sealing heaven and earth as it rapidly closed its petals.

“That is the Grand Dao Flower,” said the Earth Cauldron gravely. “When it blooms, it gives rise to all creatures in existence. But this one is closing. It is reclaiming all the Grand Dao energy this formation seized from the world. Once sealed, it will strip the Grand Dao energy from your flesh and soul alike. In other words, everyone will die once this flower closes.”

BOOM!

The divine fetus under Zhi Zhi’s control suddenly detonated. The portion of Zhi Zhi inhabiting it was obliterated.

At the same time, the ground caved in, and Zhi Zhi’s body in the underground was also destroyed.

“Zhi Zhi!” Long Chen roared.

He couldn’t let Zhi Zhi be stubborn any longer, or it would really die.

He quickly formed hand seals to drag Zhi Zhi back into the primal chaos space. But to his shock, his Spiritual Strength was sealed.

“What...?!”

“The world’s Grand Dao energy is in motion,” the Earth Cauldron explained grimly. “Your Spiritual Strength is confined within your body. You cannot extend it outward.”

“Come back!” Long Chen shouted to Huo Linger and Lei Linger. His connection with them was also growing faint.

They too had sensed the terrifying anomaly of the Grand Dao Flower.

The moment it appeared, the outsider experts tried to flee, but Huo Linger trapped them. So, when she released her seal, they immediately rushed away. Yet, the massive petals were already closing. There was no way they could escape from it.

One of the outsider experts roared and exploded in power, charging toward the closest petal to break through it. 999 Sovereign flames blazed with power.

“Don’t even think about blocking me!” he shouted.

Like a giant blazing sun, the divine weapon in his hand smashed into the petal.

Everyone held their breath. Could his full-power strike shatter it?

But the next instant, horror froze their hearts. The moment the weapon touched the petal, the expert’s body simply exploded.

An expert with 999 Sovereign flames left nothing but a ripple of blood before being erased from existence.

“What is that damn thing?!” Terrified screams split the air. These experts had no idea what the Grand Dao Flower signified.

Huo Linger and Lei Linger appeared beside Long Chen. Now that they were closer, their spiritual connection to Long Chen became clearer. Without hesitation, they retreated into the primal chaos space.

“Zhi Zhi!” Long Chen cried.

His link with Zhi Zhi was fading fast. If it refused to return, he was powerless to drag it away.

BOOM!

The Grand Dao Flower snapped shut like a colossal man-eating bloom, sealing the world completely.

“I’ll break it!” Evilmoon’s voice rang out at this time.

“No,” the Earth Cauldron interjected heavily. “You and I both carry Long Chen’s spiritual mark. If you step out, the Grand Dao will erase that park. Then, Long Chen’s soul will suffer irreparable damage, and he will be unable to withstand its pull. He will die instantly.”

“What?!”

Evilmoon found that hard to believe, but since this was related to Long Chen’s life, it dared not risk it.

Just then, the Grand Dao Flower contracted. The experts nearest the petals screamed as a terrifying suction force pulled at their bodies.

“No!” they screamed in terror.

The Grand Dao qi they had absorbed was rapidly flowing out of their bodies. At the same time, their blood, soul, qi, and everything else were also sucked away. They were powerless to resist.

Before their bodies even touched the petals, they collapsed. In an instant, all were slain.

The Grand Dao Flower contracted once more. In response, Long Chen’s bloodline power ignited of its own accord. His soul ached, and he felt his qi flowing away.

“Is it my turn now?” Long Chen’s heart tightened.

Then, above his head, a golden lotus seed appeared. The Grand Dao Flower shuddered and abruptly froze.

“Long Chen,” the Earth Cauldron said, its voice ringing with unprecedented urgency, “this will buy you one incense stick’s time. Your survival depends on yourself.”
