158: Chapter 158 The Descent of the Flower-Faced Underworld God

The outskirts of the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons.

In the relatively central area illuminated by rainbow light and colorful clouds, lay vast, dazzling fields of flowers.

They were breathtakingly beautiful, overflowing with floral fragrance that left one intoxicated.

Yet, hidden behind this beautiful scenery were faint traces of murderous intent and increasingly dense Death Qi.

For beneath the flower paths lay countless skeletons.

There were Human Race Cultivators, demon Cultivators, ghost Cultivators, and so on; even the bones of extinct races from the myriad tribes were mixed among them.

The cause of all this was none other than the magnificent, radiant flower in the field, which seemed like the monarch of all flowers — the Underworld Burial Flower!

"Leaving so quickly, isn't that a bit too boring?"

As this faint, unspoken thought spread, a soft fluorescent light suddenly began to flicker and float within the stamen of the Underworld Burial Flower.

This fluorescent light was where the Flower-Faced Underworld God's Divine Soul resided.

Theoretically, the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons is turbulent and filled with all sorts of treacherous, heretical creatures.

Although this outer region cannot compare to the interior, it is not far behind.

It is impossible for such a state to be maintained for long.

However, this scene where death and a fairyland coexist truly exists.

Because its owner is a legendary figure, the Flower-Faced Underworld God!

In the field, those shimmering lights converged, eventually forming the silhouette of a woman.

Clad in a robe of floral fragrance, her stunning figure was perfectly outlined.

Added to that was her charming and graceful temperament, which undoubtedly placed her at the Peak of beauty, looking down upon the world where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

...

"What's going on?"

Suddenly, the White Empress noticed red mist gradually appearing around them, and a sense of alertness instantly rose in her heart.

Clearly, they had been targeted again.

After a brief moment of thought and identification, the White Empress was able to roughly confirm the identity of the mastermind behind all this.

"Is it her?"

"Hmph! She wants to ruin my plans too?!"

Given her current stage of strength recovery, she was clearly no match for the Flower-Faced Underworld God.

However, who said she could only sit and wait for death without any counter-strategies?

As the White Empress blinked her beautiful eyes, a blood-colored fluorescent light instantly surged into her pupils.

Beside her, Gu Qingge was left in a state of utter confusion.

It seemed he had become a marked prey, with everyone wanting to seize him by force or at least make a tentative attempt to snatch him.

This situation of having his fate and life controlled by others made Gu Qingge feel a trace of impatience.

But the reality before him was that even the White Empress had to flee with him in great caution; with his small frame, he probably wouldn't even be able to withstand a single punch from the opponent.

Therefore, enduring for the moment was the steady choice!

While thinking this, he couldn't help but change from holding the White Empress's hand to wrapping his arm tightly around her slender waist.

"Heavenly Serpent Descends upon the World!"

As her lips parted slightly and she exhaled a stream of extremely clear, blue-white flowing light, the heavenly secrets of this place were instantly concealed.

After doing all this, the White Empress once again took Gu Qingge and fled in a random direction.

...

"A clear breeze and a bright moon, as if high mountains and flowing water linger in the heart."

"But thinking of escaping from my palm, isn't that a bit too delusional?"

The Flower-Faced Underworld God smiled, merely treating the opponent's actions as the struggle of a trapped beast; there was no way they could escape her grasp.

As she quickly formed seals with her hands, streams of pure heaven and earth energy seemed to act like a contract, continuously converging toward her location.

"Hmm?"

A moment later, a trace of hesitation flashed in the Flower-Faced Underworld God's bright eyes.

They couldn't be sensed anymore?

The opponent had adopted an unknown method to conceal heavenly secrets, not only obscuring the surrounding fortune but also making it impossible for her to calculate their location.

"It seems the opponent I have to face this time is not simple!"

"However, since the holder of the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body has appeared in the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, I must make use of them."

"Otherwise, wouldn't I be wasting my efforts and missing a good opportunity?"

After speaking, the Flower-Faced Underworld God gently opened her jade hand, and a piece of animal skin parchment in the style of a blood-colored contract appeared in it.

With a slight movement of her intent, the contract instantly erupted with a world-shocking red light!

As the red light swept across the ground, a door suddenly appeared, and from it, a massive, heaven-reaching claw reached out!

Terrifying and majestic, it revealed streams of information everywhere that were taboo for the living.

"Flower-Faced, didn't I tell you not to wake me up unless there's something important?"

When he fully crawled out from that door to Hell, his specific appearance was revealed.

Resembling an ape-like Vajra, he possessed a thick aura of dark war style.

More importantly, on his body, he was actually wearing a set of very extraordinary battle armor.

"Heavenly Demon Physique."

The Flower-Faced Underworld God didn't say much; she turned a blind eye to everything that had happened and simply threw that term out.

She believed that as long as this term appeared, no matter how much resentment the other party had in their heart, they would come back to her begging for food like a starving dog.

"Heavenly Demon Physique? Where is the Heavenly Demon Physique? Where is it now?"

Things were developing exactly as expected.

Like a starving wolf that hadn't eaten for who knows how long, upon seeing the 'meat', the Dark Flame Vajra's excitement was practically overflowing!

"To be precise, I discovered a holder of the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body." Seeing the other party like this, the Flower-Faced Underworld God slowly explained.

"Oh, so it's the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body! I thought it was something else. Making such a fuss."

Upon hearing that it wasn't what he had in mind, that heat and longing instantly returned to normal.

Clearly, in his understanding, the Heavenly Demon Physique and the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body were completely different things.

A difference of one character, a world of difference!

The value of the former was immeasurable; just looking at the infinite eagerness and greed that erupted from his eyes when he first appeared was enough to indirectly explain everything.

But upon hearing it was the latter, he immediately became uninterested.

"What if the other party has a hint of potential to evolve?" The Flower-Faced Underworld God asked back with a tone of watching a good show.

Hearing this, the Dark Flame Vajra immediately perked up again.

He thought to himself, as expected, this woman had discovered something indescribable, which was why she was so impatient to summon him.

"Then we must investigate carefully. If they are useful, raising them could serve as a backup measure."

"I am very curious, since you found such an important clue, why did you still summon me?"

"Giggle! Relying on my own strength alone, I cannot suppress the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons."

"Even this outer territory cannot be controlled."

"Fine! It's settled. Leave the task of finding them to me."

"At that time, you and I will split it equally."

The next instant, the Dark Flame Vajra summoned his tamed demon pet, the Dark Mosquito Demon.

Countless blood mosquitoes appeared in the air, forming a shocking scene of a dark, oppressive cloud.

Afterwards, at the command of the Dark Mosquito Demon, all the blood mosquitoes scattered and began a carpet-search for the traces of Gu Qingge and the other.
