Chapter 456: Double Flower Saint
He rushed toward the distant, indistinct pavilion. Though worried about Lu Bingning and Lan Xi, Lin Yun remained vigilant of his surroundings. This was no time for carelessness.
Although Lin Yun had never been to a Saint’s Relics before, it didn’t take much imagination to know that this place would be anything but simple.
He proceeded cautiously. After walking for about a thousand meters, the flowers around him suddenly underwent a massive transformation.
The once beautiful and alluring flowers instantly grew to a monstrous size. A gaping, bloody maw opened in the center of each blossom, looking just like a Cannibal Flower.
’So it really wasn’t going to be that simple.’ The entire sea of flowers had now become Cannibal Flowers, each towering five meters high. Besides their horrifying, bloody maws, their stems and leaves had become incredibly thick and were covered in dense thorns.
Lin Yun took out the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear and summoned Little Ape, who had been resting in his robes. Awakened by Lin Yun, Little Ape rubbed its eyes, and upon seeing the innumerable Cannibal Flowers, it let out a yawn and asked.
"Big Brother, where are we?"
"Enough nonsense. Let’s deal with these things first. Be careful." ’This little guy has no sense of danger at all, so laid-back at a time like this,’ Lin Yun replied irritably.
"Oh." With a lazy acknowledgement, Little Ape instantly grew to over three meters tall, a tyrannical Evil Qi erupting from its body.
"Kill," Lin Yun ordered in a low voice. At his word, the two of them charged toward the Cannibal Flowers.
Wielding the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear, Lin Yun directly executed the Red Flame Spear Technique. Against these Cannibal Flowers, Flame was the best weapon.
A dense Flame enveloped the Demon Bone Heaven-Dominating Spear. Lin Yun fiercely thrust his spear into the mouth of a Cannibal Flower before him. However, the expected result didn’t occur; the Flame seemed to do negligible damage.
’How could this be? They’re actually not afraid of Flame...’ Lin Yun murmured. This made the Cannibal Flowers much harder to deal with.
He tried a few more times, striking five Cannibal Flowers in a row, but the effect of the Flame was still minimal. Aside from some slight scorch marks on the wounds, it did nothing.
Lin Yun’s attacks provoked the Cannibal Flowers’ ferocity. In an instant, more than ten of them surrounded him tightly. A highly corrosive liquid dripped from the large mouths in the center of their blossoms, producing puffs of white smoke wherever it hit the ground.
"In that case, Thunderfire Bombardment!" Since Flame was ineffective, he could only resort to brute force. With a low shout, he directly unleashed Thunderfire Bombardment.
Under the powerful, frenzied assault of Thunderfire Bombardment, one of the Cannibal Flowers was finally destroyed by Lin Yun, its huge petals withering and falling one by one.
Since these Cannibal Flowers had no apparent weakness, Lin Yun and Little Ape could only rely on brute force to fight their way through.
The two of them carved a path forward, leaving a trail of withered Cannibal Flower corpses behind them. It wasn’t just Lin Yun; by now, the sea of flowers where everyone else was had transformed into a field of terrifying Cannibal Flowers.
Some of the weaker Disciples were swallowed whole by the Cannibal Flowers before they could even put up a fight.
These Cannibal Flowers were likely left behind intentionally by the Saint to weed out the weaker individuals. If one couldn’t even get past them, there was no point in even dreaming of the Saint’s inheritance.
Song Tianyang, Lin Jianhong, Xi Zijin, and Wei Yunhang, however, were handling it with ease. The four of them were all at the Celestial Spirit Realm with exceptionally monstrous Combat Power, so breaking through the field of Cannibal Flowers wasn’t difficult for them.
After fighting their way through, Lin Yun and Little Ape finally broke out of the Cannibal Flowers’ territory. Although they hadn’t suffered any serious injuries, both of them had numerous cuts from the flowers’ thorns.
He was worried about Lu Bingning and Lan Xi. The Cannibal Flowers were quite strong, and both women were only at the Second Layer of Primordial Ocean Realm. Lin Yun was very concerned about whether they could make it through.
However, Lin Yun’s worries were clearly unnecessary. Lu Bingning and Lan Xi had never even appeared in the sea of flowers, nor had they been separated. The moment the two women entered the relics, they had appeared directly in front of the pavilion.
By now, both of them had already entered the pavilion.
To call it a pavilion was an understatement; it was more like a palace. Its sheer size left both Lu Bingning and Lan Xi utterly stunned. How much manpower and resources would it have taken to build such a palace?
Inside the pavilion, Lu Bingning and Lan Xi found that the main hall on the First Layer alone was immense. The ceiling was a hundred meters high, and in the center stood two silent stone statues.
The statues depicted the two beautiful women from the sea of flowers in the Central Domain.
"Red Flower Saint, White Flower Saint, Double Flower Saint..."
Below each of the two statues was a stone tablet, one inscribed with "Red Flower Saint" and the other with "White Flower Saint." Between these two tablets was a golden one, which read "Double Flower Saint."
"Sister Bingning, what do you think this means? Why are there three Saint titles?" Lan Xi asked in confusion, looking at the three tablets.
Hearing this, Lu Bingning also shook her head. Her gaze fell upon the statue of the White Flower Saint. Seeing that Lu Bingning seemed quite interested in the White Flower Saint, Lan Xi turned her own attention to the statue of the Red Flower Saint.
The moment she looked, Lan Xi seemed to fall into an Illusion Realm, unable to pull herself away for a long time.
The two women just stared at the two statues, their eyes vacant, standing perfectly still.
Lin Yun had no idea that the two women were already inside the pavilion. At that moment, far away in the Central Domain, the scene unfolding before the two beautiful women was precisely that of Lu Bingning and Lan Xi.
"Sister, why did you open a back door for these two little girls?" the Red Flower Saint chuckled, watching Lu Bingning and Lan Xi in the projection.
Hearing this, the White Flower Saint turned to her, a faint smile on her face. "I didn’t open a back door for *them*. I only opened one for *her*," she said, pointing a finger at Lu Bingning.
"Hehe, Sister, you’re really something. Did you have to spell it out?" The Red Flower Saint covered her mouth and giggled upon hearing the White Flower Saint’s words.
Lu Bingning and Lan Xi were still unaware that they had already caught the attention of the White Flower Saint and the Red Flower Saint.
Speaking of the White Flower Saint and the Red Flower Saint, any expert of some standing would absolutely know of them, because their titles were renowned even among the Heavenly Saint Realm Saints.
Individually, the White Flower Saint and the Red Flower Saint were merely Earth Saint Realm Saints. However, when they were together, they had an even more resonant title: the Double Flower Saint.
The Double Flower Saint was a top-tier existence among the Saints of the Celestial Saint Realm, yet this title was composed of two Earth Saint Realm Saints. It was the strangest title among all the Saints on the Celestial Spirit Road.
If the two were separated, they were merely Earth Saint Realm Saints. But ever since they achieved sainthood, they had been inseparable. At the same time, the Cultivation Techniques they practiced were quite peculiar; once they joined forces, few even among the Heavenly Saint Realm Saints could stand against them. This was how the title of Double Flower Saint came to be.
