[The Sixth Test: Chasing Shadows in the Divine Garden.]
[Challenge: Hunt down the 'Void Chrysanthemum' in the Chrysanthemum Garden. Time limit: twelve hours.]
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene before Yue Guan's eyes changed once again.
He found himself surrounded by a boundless sea of flowers.
Unlike chrysanthemums elsewhere, every single one here is a top-quality specimen.
Some petals are as thin as cicada wings, shimmering with iridescent light;
Some of the flower stamens have dew-like specks hanging from them, radiating a soft halo;
Some chrysanthemums are as white as jade, exuding a chilling aura that causes fine ice crystals to condense in the surrounding air.
The air here is filled with a wonderful fragrance that is refreshing and invigorating; every breath of air is brimming with vitality and spiritual energy.
This is the real Divine Chrysanthemum Garden, different from the one from the previous trial.
"Escape from the Sky Chrysanthemum?"
Yue Guan looked around, searching for his target.
Just then, a golden chrysanthemum, about half a person's height, suddenly twisted its petals without warning, like a pebble thrown into water.
The next instant, it vanished from its spot and reappeared in another flowerbed a hundred meters away.
The entire process was silent, leaving only a faint ripple in the space where it was placed.
Found it.
A slight smile played on Yue Guan's lips. With a thought, his figure drifted away like a ghost.
Driven by his level 98 soul power, he was incredibly fast!
However, he was fast, but the elusive chrysanthemum was even faster.
The moment he moved, the Void Chrysanthemum flickered again and appeared in another direction.
He changed direction and chased after them, but they dodged again.
After several attempts, he still couldn't get within thirty meters of the other party.
"That's interesting."
Yue Guan stopped in her tracks, ceasing her futile pursuit.
This thing's spatial flickering ability has almost no intervals and is completely unpredictable.
He narrowed his eyes, spreading his soul power perception to the fullest extent, trying to lock onto each jump of the Void Chrysanthemum and find the pattern within it.
Just as he was concentrating intently, a strange fluctuation came from the direction of the Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum and rushed into his mind.
With a buzz, the scene before his eyes began to distort, thousands of flower shadows overlapped, and the colors became mottled and variegated. Countless fragmented and chaotic murmurs also rang in his ears, like thousands of flies flapping their wings at the same time.
Psychological interference.
Yue Guan frowned. If this had happened before the fifth test, it would have been enough to give him a splitting headache and cause him to lose focus on his target.
But at this moment, his greatly enhanced mental strength only rippled slightly before becoming as steady as a rock.
"A trivial skill."
He snorted coldly, his mental energy condensing into a needle that instantly pierced through the layer of interference.
With his vision clearing, he once again pinpointed the location of the Void Chrysanthemum.
But this delay led to a sudden and unexpected change.
The ground beneath his feet suddenly cracked open, and dozens of thick, dark green vines shot out like venomous snakes, whistling through the air, and coiled around his entire body.
These vines did not come from the chrysanthemums, but from the seemingly harmless ornamental chrysanthemums around them!
The entire Divine Chrysanthemum Garden was like an accomplice to the elusive chrysanthemum.
"First Soul Skill, Gathering of Cold Essence!"
Yue Guan remained calm in the face of danger, and the first spirit ring beneath his feet lit up.
Countless golden petals appeared out of thin air, spinning rapidly around him to form an impenetrable barrier.
The vines crashed against the barrier of petals with muffled "plop" sounds, their sap splattering as they were cut by the sharp edges of the petals, breaking apart inch by inch.
After repelling the vines, he immediately gave chase again.
But the Void Chrysanthemum was extremely cunning. While using spatial teleportation to maneuver around him, it constantly attracted other chrysanthemums in the Divine Chrysanthemum Garden to harass him.
In an instant, ice spikes, fireballs, poison mist... all sorts of attacks released by his chrysanthemum appeared one after another, which annoyed him to no end.
"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences." Yue Guan's patience was gradually wearing thin.
He suddenly stopped in an open area, ignoring the leaping and bounding chrysanthemums, and instead closed his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't move, the Void Chrysanthemum seemed a little confused. It slowed down its flashing frequency and peeked out from a distance, its huge flower head shaking curiously.
Yue Guan took a deep breath, and a massive amount of soul power surged from his body, but he did not use any soul skills.
He released the essence of his Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum without reservation, creating the illusion that it was about to mature and produce a divine product.
For soul beasts of the same chrysanthemum type, the allure of this aura is fatal, no less than that of a peerless immortal treasure for ordinary soul beasts.
Sure enough, the elusive chrysanthemum's movements came to a complete halt. The compound eyes on its flower disc flickered with greed and longing, and began to flash short distances repeatedly as it cautiously approached the Moon Gate.
Now!
Yue Guan suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light.
"Ninth Soul Skill: Chrysanthemums Wither, Wounds Cover the Ground, Fallen Flowers Break the Heart!"
This time, he didn't target the Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum, but instead aimed at the ground beneath his feet and the vast space within hundreds of meters around him!
In an instant, countless golden chrysanthemum petals swept out like a blizzard, but instead of immediately annihilating them, they hovered in mid-air, completely transforming the area into a golden sea of flowers.
Each petal contained his terrifying soul power, and their auras were connected to each other, forming a huge and complex soul power field.
The Void Chrysanthemum sensed something was wrong, and with a flash of light from its flower plate, it was about to activate its spatial teleportation.
However, it failed.
Countless rotating petals cut through every inch of space, making the spatial structure less stable.
Its blinking ability completely failed at this moment!
"Got you?"
Yue Guan appeared before Dun Kong Ju, his right hand forming a sword shape as he gently touched the heart of its flower.
