Chapter 518 - Flower

Panda Novel

"This is… a new substance?"

Venerable Starfall looked at the terrifying fluctuations in the distance. How could he not know that a terrifying new substance might have come into being? Such a new substance could only be chanced upon by luck. It could even allow his combat body to improve greatly, and give him a chance of becoming a Grand Emperor!

A Grand Emperor was practically the limit that ordinary cultivators could reach. Once one became a Grand Emperor, they would basically stand at the peak of the universe. No matter where they were, they would be a hegemon of a region.

Although Venerable Starfall was a Quasi-emperor, Quasi-emperors only surpassed Venerables in terms of combat power. In reality, their realm was still that of a Venerable, and their life level was still at that of advanced planetary lifeforms, no different from a Venerable.

It was also extremely difficult for Quasi-emperors to become Grand Emperors. Compared to Venerables, the only advantage Quasi-emperors had was probably their powerful combat power. By relying on combat power, they could obtain more resources, and have a better chance of becoming Grand Emperors.

However, this was only the ideal situation. How precious were resources that could allow one to metamorphose into a Grand Emperor? There were little of them even in the entire universe.

Only the new substances spewed out during the Big Bang had a trace of possibility of aiding one to become a Grand Emperor. How could Venerable Starfall be willing to miss such an opportunity?

"I must obtain this new substance. I must!"

Venerable Starfall's eyes shined with madness.

…

Boom.

An incomparably huge behemoth destroyed a dead planet in the cosmos. In the Big Bang, the planets that survived were all incomparably sturdy, but there was definitely no life on them. Even if there were, they would long have been destroyed.

"Nothing. How can there be no new substances?"

Betas's face was filled with anger, and even the expression on its face was distorted. It was the king among behemoths, and had long been a famed king of behemoths. It dominated the cosmos and was invincible. However, it was not a Grand Emperor yet. It also wished to become a Grand Emperor. Now, becoming a Grand Emperor was its sole pursuit.

However, since coming to the Big Bang, Betas had not gained anything at all.

"Huh? This fluctuation… Is it a new substance?"

Suddenly, the aura on Betas's body gradually calmed down. It sensed a terrifying fluctuation that spread in all directions, almost shaking most of the cosmos within a radius of five light-years.

Something that could evoke such terrifying fluctuations must be a very precious new substance. It drove even Betas into a frenzy.

"I must get it. I'll devour anyone who gets in my way!"

Betas took on a vicious look. In any case, it had also devoured many cultivators before, including some top-notch Venerables.

…

A man in black appeared. His entire body was like an glacial cave, freezing even the cosmos. He reached out and grabbed, and cracks appeared in the cosmos.

Crunch.

Cracks appeared on the ice. It turned out that the man in black had frozen everything within a radius of millions of kilometers. In particular, the man in black had not even used his combat body.

In the center of the ice, there was a new substance. The man in black grabbed it with ease.

However, this new substance seemed very ordinary, and failed to satisfy the man in black.

Suddenly, the man in black looked into the distance. There was a terrifying fluctuation coming from there.

"A new substance! And it's not just any new substance!"

The man in black pondered for a moment, before locking onto the source of the fluctuation.

"Anyone in my way shall die!"

The man in black remained as apathetic as ever. However, his apathy was accompanied by infinite coldness, which was countless times stronger than Leng Rou's.

…

In the endless universe, waves surged. Terrifying fluctuations spread in all directions, attracting the attention of most cultivators.

Be they Venearbles or ordinary planetary lifeforms, they only had one thought at this moment, and that was to rush to the source of the fluctuation as soon as possible. Even if that place might contain danger, hadn't they come to the end of the universe for opportunities? No matter how dangerous it was, as long as the gains were great enough, some would take the risk.

When the first cultivator arrived at the source of the fluctuation, he was stunned by the scene before him.

"That's… a flower?"

This cultivator was only a very ordinary Venerable, but as a Venerable, his knowledge was naturally extraordinary. Even so, this Venerable was still stunned by the scene before him, and his heart was filled with shock.

It turned out that a flower had appeared in the cosmos at some point. That's right, it was a flower. Currently, it was still a bud, and the bud had yet to bloom, as if something was still brewing.

Accompanied by the appearance of this flower, ripples of terrifying fluctuations spread in all directions.

If it were just a flower, it would not have shocked a Venerable. However, this flower was actually as huge as a star where it stretched across the cosmos. It was too stunning.

The combat body of a Venerable was huge. Even an ordinary Venerable was comparable to a star, and a star with a diameter of millions of kilometers at that. The flower in the cosmos was huge and comparable to a star, ready to bloom in the cosmos.

Moreover, the flower seemed to be rooted in the void, actually absorbing the power of the surrounding tidal storms. Such a huge flower that contained such terrifying power could not be found even among the many miraculous items in the universe.

"Retrieve!"

This Venerable was overjoyed. Even though the flower was enormous and he could not take all of it at once, he could still approach the flower and take a portion of it.

However, as his large hand reached for the flower, before it could approach the flower, countless roots in the void pierced into the palm at once.

"No, impossible…"

This Venerable was extremely terrified. He felt that his combat body was actually collapsing, as if it had been "devoured" by the roots of the flower, and turned into nutrients for the flower.

As a last resort, the Venerable could only abandon most of his combat body. Three million kilometers of the originally five million-kilometer combat body was abandoned at once, leaving only a combat body of two million kilometers.

"Just what kind of flower is this?"

The Venerable's expression was uncertain, but he did not dare to approach anymore.

At this moment, a huge hand descended from the sky. It seemed ready to take the flower directly.

"Haha, the new substance is mine!"

It was another Venerable. However, this Venerable had a combat body of 10 million kilometers. His terrifying combat body erupted at full power. A huge hand that could hold up the sky grabbed the flower viciously, trying to uproot it.

However, the bud of the flower shook slightly, and immediately bloomed. It expanded tenfold at once, like a huge mouth, and instantly devoured this Venerable with a combat body of ten million kilometers.

There was not even a scream. A Venerable with a combat body of tens of millions of kilometers was gone, just like that. It rose like a snake devouring an elephant. However, the flower in the cosmos seemed to be very calm. The flower only looked even more vibrant, and its bud showed faint signs of blooming.
