332: Chapter 332 Flower

A transparent ripple spanned space and time, impossible to dodge or resist, striking Shangguan Yue in an instant!

"Ah! Sister Shangguan, your... your face..."

Wang Shirui, standing beside her, cried out immediately.

Shangguan Yue's stunningly beautiful face aged rapidly at this moment, and her beautiful hair began to show streaks of gray; it was as if tens of thousands of years of time had passed over her in an instant!

"So... so this is the power of time!" Lin Bei gritted his teeth and turned to rush toward Shangguan Yue.

One finger, ten thousand years!

Shangguan Yue was now a True Immortal with a lifespan far exceeding ten thousand years, yet she still withered away under this one finger...

It was evident that the time lost under this starlight finger was definitely more than ten thousand years!

"What do I do? What do I do?!" Various thoughts flashed through Lin Bei's mind. "The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion should be able to counter it if he breaks the Seal, but must it really come to this..."

"Brother Lin, don't... don't come over!" Panic appeared on Shangguan Yue's aged face, yet she immediately tried to stop Lin Bei from approaching. "Yue'er doesn't want you to see me like this..."

"Yue'er, don't say silly things. Brother Lin can help you, hurry and stop resisting!"

As he spoke, Shangguan Yue's body had already become somewhat illusory, dissipating into specks of light.

"Hehehe!" Seeing this, the giant starlight thumb could no longer hold back its laughter. "Struggle! Despair! Act out this life-and-death separation! This Emperor loves watching this scene!"

"Hehehe... Urgh!" Immortal Emperor Dongfang's laughter suddenly came to an abrupt halt, and he let out the most incredulous cry yet. "That... what is that!?"

A small white flower had abruptly appeared above Shangguan Yue's head.

Pure white energy drifted down from the small flower and landed on Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue's body, which had been extremely illusory, instantly recovered, and her aged state was reversed in the blink of an eye; she even looked slightly more radiant than before.

"That is..." Lin Bei couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the small white flower.

He had plenty of flowers like this on him!

The one Shangguan Yue possessed was one he had casually given her a long time ago, when he was studying the flower and she had mistakenly thought he intended to give it to her.

Never had he imagined that at this very moment, this small flower would become the key to saving her life!

"Longevity... flower!" Amidst his shock, Immortal Emperor Dongfang finally enunciated the name of the small white flower.

"The one hundred and eight longevity flowers born at the beginning of heaven and earth have all been exhausted! How could you have a longevity flower?!"

"longevity flower, I should have thought of that sooner!" Lin Bei sighed inwardly, his figure moving to appear beside Shangguan Yue.

He raised his hand, and three identical small flowers appeared in his palm. "Here, take three more. I want to see how many more fingers this Immortal Emperor can unleash!"

"Three... there are three more?!" The giant finger trembled again, finding it hard to believe its own perception.

"Three?" The corners of Lin Bei's mouth curled up.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Several balls of light flew from his hand, landing in the hands of the other women.

"Hold onto them, three for each of you! Lest this Immortal Emperor Dongfang think we are poor folk who can't afford this so-called longevity flower..."

"Damn! This brat is still so smug! That... that is a longevity flower!" In the distance, the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion couldn't help but puff out his cheeks in frustration.

"No! Later on, I must swallow my pride and go ask that brat for one..."

The giant starlight finger almost showed signs of collapsing at this moment. "Impossible! Do you think this Emperor will believe that these are all longevity flowers?"

"One finger, ten thousand years!"

The transparent ripple flashed again, and this time the target chosen was Luo Qingcheng.

"Ah!" Luo Qingcheng let out a delicate cry.

She didn't want to become old and ugly under the power of time, so she hurriedly raised a longevity flower to block it in front of her.

"Sizzle..." Under her active control, the longevity flower displayed even more power.

It actually radiated a hazy white light directly, dissolving the transparent ripple into nothingness!

"They... they are actually all real?" The shock in the giant starlight finger's voice had not diminished, but there was even more excitement.

"Be careful!" The voice of the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion sounded in Lin Bei's ear. "The attraction of the longevity flower to an Immortal Emperor is far greater than you imagine!"

"Condense!" No sooner had his words fallen than Immortal Emperor Dongfang made a move.

The only remaining giant starlight thumb suddenly shrank and condensed at this moment, transforming back into a palm.

The palm was only a few dozen zhang in size, but its movements were incredibly swift.

"Not good!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion roared, his figure flashing to appear beside Lin Bei.

Unfortunately, it was still too late!

Lin Bei only felt a breeze brush past him; Shangguan Yue had already been snatched into the palm's grasp.

"Let her go!" He glared with wide eyes, and the giant sword in his hand slashed down at the large hand without hesitation!

"Swish!" The palm seemed to truly have little strength remaining; it did not choose to clash head-on with Lin Bei, relying on the power of space to escape in an instant.

"Seal!" The eyes of the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion turned cold, and he spread his hands, wanting to Seal the surrounding space.

However, he was a step too late. The palm did not choose to attack the other women again, but instead appeared instantly in the Ancient Desolate Alliance camp with Shangguan Yue.

In front of it were Dongfang Meng and Jiao Yufeng.

"He wants to leave!" Lin Bei immediately understood the opponent's intention and shouted at the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion, "Senior, help me! Stop him!"

"He cannot leave!" The Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion spoke confidently. "He has detonated himself repeatedly; his strength is now only at the Middle Stage of the Immortal King, he absolutely cannot leave before my eyes!"

"Hmph! Old thing, you are right!" Immortal Emperor Dongfang grabbed Dongfang Meng and the other. "But I am an Immortal Emperor! How could I not have a few tricks up my sleeve?"

An object resembling a tortoise shell suddenly appeared in front of the palm, transforming into a beam of light that surrounded it.

"Hmm?" A look of suspicion appeared in the eyes of the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion, and he pointed his fingertip forward. "Thunder Fury!"

"Boom crackle..." Thousands of thunderbolts surged forth once again, striking the light beam in unison.

The light beam only trembled, showing no signs of damage, and returned to its original state in an instant.

The heart of the Lord of Sacred Heart Mansion sank, and he quickly turned to look at Lin Bei. "Quickly, attack with me!"

"This object must come from an Immortal Emperor-level exotic beast; I cannot break it within a short time!"

Upon hearing this, a flash of anxiety crossed Lin Bei's eyes. Without a word, he deployed the Nine Dragon Formation again, and nine golden dragons slammed fiercely into the light beam.

At the same time, Kunkun also began to command the giant formed by the Heavenly Soldier Divine Array to begin attacking.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Huge fists landed on the light beam like raindrops.

"Hahaha! It's too late!" Sensing the violent trembling of the light beam, the palm dared not delay any longer.

A jade talisman flew into the sky, blooming with black light, and finally formed a pitch-black passage.

Without needing to think, one knew that this must be the path back to the Immortal Realm.

"Shatter, shatter, shatter! Shatter for me!" Lin Bei appeared frantic; he had completely not expected the opponent to be able to open the passage so quickly.

"Don't dream! Lord of the Heavenly Court, I am taking the people away. This Emperor gives you three years to bring twenty-five longevity flowers to the Immortal Realm to trade for them!"

The final voice came from the palm, and then it carried the three of them up into the sky, vanishing into the black passage.

Suddenly!

A green branch sprouted from Lin Bei's body, instantly piercing into the light beam, and lashed out fiercely toward the pitch-black passage!
