Death… And Me

Chapter 1435 - Just Die Already

Chapter 1435 - Just Die Already

With that, Rean just had Kentucky fly very, very high on their way to the north region... or so he wanted to. Unfortunately for him, Kentucky got confused, asking, "If we fly this high, how will you look for the Molten Divine Rock Flowers?"

"Good point," Rean said. "Whatever then. Just fly at the same altitude, I guess. I'll still keep the Divine Sense and Light bending skill active since it's better than not doing it. Kentucky, you have the best vision between us three, so you look for the Molten Divine Rock Flowers on the desert ground."

"If you say so..." Kentucky didn't mind and did exactly that.

Eventually, the desert below began to show patches of crystalized sand due to the heat of the Fire Element. At the same time, the heat around the twins and Kentucky increased. Well, it wasn't as if it would bother them anyway.

Then again, it didn't take long for the heat to increase even more as the concentration of Fire Element reached a much higher level. The sand below had completely disappeared, swapped for molten glass made of the same sand. Rean detected a few Divine Senses here and there, but they were quite rare in this place. "Well, I guess that's obvious since the level of heat here wouldn't allow anyone below the Saint Realm to get close."

But even with that, it took over an hour for Kentucky to see something. "Oh! I believe that's what we're looking for." He quickly came down from the skies and hovered just a few meters above the ground. In front of them, they could see the molten glass in the shape of a flower. It had a lot of Fire Element concentrated inside, as well as Divine Energy. "This is the Molten Divine Rock Flower, right?"

Rean nodded and jumped down. "That is indeed the one. Sure enough, it's quite hard to find. Even with Kentucky's vision, it took us over an hour to locate one, and we need fourteen more of them." However, just as Rean tried to get close, he felt an intense wave of heat and Fire Element emanating from the flower itself. It was so intense that even he had to take a few steps back. "Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!"

After that, Rean controlled the heat with his Divine Soul Power to stop burning his clothes. "Holy shit. This thing is hot as hell. How come the flowers I got before didn't show this effect?"

Hearing that, Roan replied, "It's simple. This flower used the land's heat and Fire Element to defend itself. The flowers you got before had already been harvested, so they lost the connection with this land. Now they only have the Fire Element and Divine Energy they stored by themselves. Well, it's still a lot since you could use it in that furnace formation."

"I see..." Rean then controlled his Divine Soul Power as well as his Yang Energy to protect himself from the heat. He was the pinnacle of Yang Energy, so even this intense heat had a hard time affecting him when he put his mind to it. Not long after, he finally picked up the Molten Divine Rock Flower. "Let's keep looking for more."

The heat and Fire Element Concentration varied from place to place in the North Region. Soon, Rean and Roan understood that it wasn't the places with the highest of both things that gave birth to the Molten Divine Rock Flowers. Instead, it was the ones where they were most balanced with Divine Energy. Not that it made it easier to find, though.

After an entire day, Rean and Roan found only seven flowers, which left them with twelve in total. They only needed eight more to have enough for them to upgrade their Star Bodies.

Kentucky continued to fly when he saw another flower in the distance. Naturally, he quickly came down just so Rean could take it. However, as soon as Rean was about to take the flower...

'Life Style, Second Form, Enhancement!'

'Death Style, First Movement Form, Shadow Steps!'

Rean's body disappeared from his location, reappearing several tens of meters away.

*Boom!*

Following that, an explosion of Fire Element and fire hit the location he was standing, creating an explosion that blew up a crater. It was definitely not an accident, from the looks of it.

Roan then came down from Kentucky and landed by his side before looking in a certain direction. "Why don't you come out? Your killing intent is overflowing to the point that you look more like a torch."

"Kekeke!" As the sound of a wicked laugh appeared, a man came flying from behind one of the molten mounts not far away from there. "Not too bad. Even though you're in the Elemental Transformation Realm, you still avoided my attack." He didn't look the least concerned by what Rean did, though.

Rean then shrugged his shoulders, saying, "Well, it wasn't anything hard. From the moment we descended close to this flower, I could tell that something wasn't right. After all, the flower didn't try to attack me with its heat and Fire Element explosion. That can only mean it had already spent its energy reserved for this ability and needed time to do that again. Since that's the case, someone else must have landed close to it not long ago. However, whoever caused it didn't take the flower right after. Even an idiot would notice this problem. I just didn't expect the fact that it would be this easy to lure you out."

The man's expression darkened after hearing that. Rean was right. The man had made the flower use its protection ability and was planning to take the flower. However, he noticed Rean's group approaching thanks to one of his skills. Since they were heading in the flower's direction, they were naturally looking for the flower. That was a good chance to kill the other part and gain any other possible flowers that they had collected. But even though the twins seemed confident, he quickly noticed their cultivation and remembered his. "Heh.. So what if you noticed? Just die here already."
