BXBX NOVEL Chapter 400: 396: Sword of Retributive Karma
“Did Ellis actually lose?”
Although they had always been spoken about in the same breath, Lilith knew well that Ellis’s strength far surpassed hers.
And now, Ellis had been defeated by a transcendent creature that hadn’t even been contracted by anyone; this was completely beyond her comprehension.
“That Emperor’s Heart Lotus must have inherited the bloodline of the Red Lotus Enchantress,”
Dean looked at the Emperor’s Heart Lotus deeply, it was now leisurely absorbing the Fire of Judgement from the Judgment Angel. Instead of being harmed, it seemed to have consumed a tonic and its momentum was booming.
[Name]: Emperor’s Heart Lotus
[Nature]: Fire
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade King
[Introduction]: A fire-based king with the heart of an emperor. Although it is a plant, it feeds on fire, and the more fire it consumes, the stronger it becomes.
…
“A plant that feeds on fire, is this the strength of a Guardian’s offspring?”
Bai Qi murmured to himself, not expecting the Judgment Angel to really lose.
For some reason, he suddenly found the Angel’s Wing somewhat irritating.
“Tsk tsk, Red Lotus, your offspring even won against those birdmen. Truly enviable.”
The Eternal Night Blood Emperor looked on enviously, wishing that he could immediately snatch the Emperor’s Heart Lotus and claim it as his own.
“It’s just a matter of attribute restraint.”
The Red Lotus Enchantress smiled lightly, “However, consuming the Angel’s Fire of Judgement is indeed a substantial enhancement for the Emperor’s Heart Lotus.”
“Tsk, Red Lotus, in human terms, your actions are pretty mundane.”
The Eternal Night Blood Emperor pouted, then began to pay attention to his own descendants in Eden, wondering if there were any who had the potential to grow as strong as the Emperor’s Heart Lotus.
Uh, it seemed not, those with that talent seemed to have wandered away.
“However, I still believe that the bug will win.”
The Guardian of Light spoke again, his words full of affection for the weed.
Being an Aurora Giant, Fenrir showed a natural fondness for the weed. Power of the Sun, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn’t lose.
“That’s hard to say, if the Emperor’s Heart Lotus consumes its Power of The Sun, I’m afraid the bug won’t stand a chance at all.”
The Guardian of War shook his head. While the weed demonstrated strong abilities, as long as it used fire attribute skills, it would inevitably be consumed by the Emperor’s Heart Lotus.
When this happens, the outcome would be clear.
“Maybe so, let’s see the result of the match.”
The Red Lotus Enchantress laughed, seemingly unconcerned about the result of the battle.
At that moment, the Emperor’s Heart Lotus and the weed finally faced off.
After consuming the Fire of Judgement, the flame of the Emperor’s Heart Lotus had gained some attack power directed at the soul, and the weed, which had been stealthily releasing the Dragon Sleep, directly gave up the method of attacking with dreamland.
It could only rely on head-on attacks now.
The weed felt somewhat troubled. Looking at the Emperor’s Heart Lotus in front of it, whose aura was still escalating, it decisively attacked first.
“Tsk, it’s too impatient.”
Bai Qi observed and slightly furrowed his brow. Taking initiative was correct, but the Emperor’s Heart Lotus wasn’t an opponent that could be defeated through ambush.
As expected, when the Emperor’s Heart Lotus saw the weed rushing over quickly, it sprayed burning magma from its petal, blocking the weed’s path like a waterfall.
Seeing this, the weed didn’t dodge, but broke through the magma’s blockade under the protection of the Power of The Sun.
But because of this delay, the Emperor’s Heart Lotus managed to put some distance between itself and the weed, and kept throwing various flames at the weed.
The strongest aspect of the Emperor’s Heart Lotus was that it could improve itself not only by consuming different fires but also reproduce the flames it had consumed before.
It could be said that if a Beast Master could contract an Emperor’s Heart Lotus, it would be equivalent to contracting a beast capable of using all types of flame skills.
By now, quite a few Beast Masters in the arena had taken notice of the Emperor’s Heart Lotus.
Watching the endless flames from the Emperor’s Heart Lotus, the weed got even more irritable, and thus redoubled its previous skill: the Sunray.
The concentrated Sunray cut through several petals of the Emperor’s Heart Lotus. Although it didn’t deal any fatal damage, it left some golden flames on the wound.
Then, these flames were directly absorbed by the Emperor’s Heart Lotus.
“Having absorbed the Power of The Sun, Bai Qi is doomed this round.”
Dean shook his head upon seeing this. The Emperor’s Heart Lotus’s restraint on fire-based creatures was too strong. Moreover, having just attained the spiritual attribute from the Judgment Angel, it virtually restrained the weed to death. Victory was now an impossibility.
True enough, after consuming the Sun’s Fire, the Assault of the Emperor’s Heart Lotus suddenly became explosive. The golden Sun Fire, under the control of the Emperor’s Heart Lotus, turned into countless golden lotuses falling slowly. Seemingly calm, the lotuses emitted an intense heat that even made the weed, their original master, a little wary.
“Damn it, I don’t want to be caught and boiled in the soup!”
The weed gritted its teeth in the dark upon seeing this. Looking at the increasing number of golden lotuses in the sky, it suddenly rushed forward as if out of control, pushing through the golden lotuses to reach the Emperor’s Heart Lotus.
“Too impulsive..”
Tan Lang shook his head too, having made his judgment.
This obvious trap, yet he walked right into it, this round he’s surely defeated.
As expected, just as the Venus flytrap were about to touch the Emperor’s Heart Lotus, a red lotus suddenly rose from the ground, swallowing the Venus flytrap in one gulp, then floated back to the Emperor’s Heart Lotus, slowly draining the energy from the Venus flytrap.
“Red Lotus, could it be that you and the Venus flytrap are the parents of this Emperor’s Heart Lotus?”
The Eternal Night Blood Emperor looked at Bai Qi with some sympathy, but found that not only did Bai Qi not seem disappointed, but he was wearing a grin of triumph.
“Fell for it as expected. Allowing an insect to get so close to you, roles of hunter and prey might have just swapped.”
Bai Qi grinned, then the Emperor’s Heart Lotus, which had been frantically draining the sun’s energy from the Venus flytrap, suddenly went rigid and started to struggle with what looked like pain.
The ability of the Venus flytrap, wasn’t limited to the Great Sun and Dreamland after all.
“This guy, he’s really cunning.”
Aleta laughed heartily, looking at the small insects swirling around the Emperor’s Heart Lotus. The Red Lotus Enchantress spotted something wrong and stood up immediately.
“The Emperor’s Heart Lotus admits defeat, the match can end now.”
The Red Lotus Enchantress waved her hand, and the Venus flytrap appeared directly in the center of the lotus, still holding a core it hadn’t had time to eat.
“Boss, is it over already?”
The Venus flytrap looked regretful. It hadn’t gotten to the Emperor’s Heart Lotus’s core yet, why did it end suddenly?
“What else? You want to eat him right here and now?”
Bai Qi rolled his eyes. Although the Venus flytrap’s acting skills were lacking, the Emperor’s Heart Lotus, a transcendent creature that had lived in Eden for years, had not seen through it.
It’s a pity, if this were the wild, the Venus flytrap would be able to have a big feast.
“Trial of Fire, you’ve won. Prepare to receive my blessing.”
The Red Lotus Enchantress quickly evaluated the condition of the Emperor’s Heart Lotus, then approached the Venus flytrap intending to bless it, but the well-prepared Venus flytrap dodged immediately.
“Apologies. I’m not the one to receive the blessing.”
The Venus flytrap returned to Bai Qi’s side by fluttering its wings, then a reluctant Alpha was pushed forward by Bai Qi.
Clack, clack.
(“Boss, this should be Epsilon’s victory, why not give it to him instead?”)
“No need to be so polite. You guys are all too lazy to fight in resource battles anyway, then you should just listen to the way I distribute.”
Bai Qi waved at the Red Lotus Enchantress, “Guardian of Fire, could you please pass the blessing to him?”
The Red Lotus Enchantress frowned slightly at this, but said nothing. She waved her hand, and the flames on the battlefield were immediately absorbed into Alpha’s body.
In an instant, a dark red flame erupted, covering Alpha’s body. His crystal bones even started to show signs of melting.
You sure this is a blessing, not revenge?
Bai Qi was startled and was about to retrieve Alpha in a Beast Control Space to help with the Evolution Egg, but he saw Alpha suddenly draw the Undying Flame Sword, deliberately guiding the Red Lotus Fire towards the Undying Flame Sword.
Gradually, the flames on Alpha’s body all gathered on the Undying Flame Sword. The enchanting red and the dark red flames intertwined, each trying to consume the other, but neither could overcome the other.
Seeing this, a black aura suddenly exploded from Alpha, and the Power of Death under Alpha’s control wrapped the two types of flames on the Undying Flame Sword, pressing them bit by bit into the sword.
Finally, the flames on the Undying Flame Sword completely disappeared, and the sword in Alpha’s hand was replaced by a dark red longsword wrapped in a glow.
The absorption was successful?
Looking at Alpha’s new sword, Bai Qi’s eyes lit up, then he felt a flood of new information in his mind.
[Skill Name]: Sword of Retributive Karma
[Level]: Transcendent
[Skill Description]: Evil deeds harm the body like fire, the fire of karma is indestructible in red lotus.
…
Another transcendent sword skill!
Bai Qi smirked. Although he had not yet tested the power of Sword of Retributive Karma, considering the power of Sword of the Wind Chaser, it wouldn’t be weak at all.
Three transcendent skills, it seems that Alpha really can’t lose at the same level.
“This guy, he actually used such a brutal way to digest my blessing?”
Seeing Alpha’s way of operation, the Red Lotus Enchantress, who was initially displeased with the Venus flytrap’s harm to the Emperor’s Heart Lotus, couldn’t help but laugh, and even started to admire him a bit.
“This kid, could he be planning to build up all four of his beasts’ swords? That wouldn’t be great for refining his realm in the future.”
The Eternal Night Blood Emperor frowned a little. He could see that the Sword of Death was Alpha’s main focus, but the other swords were not weak either.
Greed often leads to indigestion, a principle that applies everywhere.
“Eternal Night, you worry too much. If there was a problem, do you think that guy would just sit back and watch?”
Aleta smiled, looking at Alpha, who was getting used to his new power, and Bai Qi, who had a triumphant look, “Who’s next? If this kid takes the blessing again, Eden’s face will be lost.”
