Chapter 174 Nether Flower

Chen Luo glanced at the Nether Flower and suddenly felt his life force rapidly draining away.

This flower actually possessed the power of accelerated time.

And it was causing Chen Luo, a god-level being with five laws, to lose a significant amount of lifespan.

Chen Luo had the strange feeling that he had lost five hundred years of life in just that brief moment.

When Yuri first arrived, Eugene had been very kind to him, instructing him not to approach the flower under any circumstances.

If Chen Luo lost five hundred years of life just by looking at the Nether Flower a few times, wouldn't the Emperor-level Yuri die instantly?

Looking at the glow of the Nether Flower from a very far distance was fine, but as soon as you got close to the Nether Flower, or saw its true form, your lifespan would constantly drain away. This was the reason why there was no life within ten thousand miles of the Nether Flower.

The closer you got to the Nether Flower, the higher the rate of time acceleration.

Chen Luo swallowed. What exactly was this thing?

Time acceleration… If I spent a long time near this flower, wouldn't it greatly benefit my mastery of time acceleration?

But Chen Luo didn't dare. It wasn't entirely because he was a coward.

Just now, he had lost about a hundred years of life in one second. With his million-plus years of lifespan, he could only stay near the Nether Flower for a few hours.

What if he couldn't comprehend anything in a few hours? He would just die.

This was truly gambling with his life.

And this was the result of Chen Luo not getting very close to the Nether Flower. If he got extremely close, would the rate of time acceleration be even higher?

Leading to him dying of old age in a few minutes, or even half a minute?

Putting it in the Ability Space? Was he afraid that Mi Li and the others wouldn't die fast enough?

Chen Luo didn't dare to approach, nor did he dare to take it. He finally understood why there was such a big commotion about the Nether Flower, but no one guarded it.

At this moment, Mi Fan said in the Ability Space, "Pluck one of its petals, just a petal is enough, and definitely don't take the flower."

"Be careful in the process, and don't damage the flower, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I feel that this petal will be of great use in the near future."

What? You want me to get close to it?

Do you really think I have too much life?

Swallowing, Chen Luo still decided to pluck a petal.

It's okay, what does it matter if I lose a million years of life?

I still have a guaranteed 250,000 years. If I can't become a God of Time and can't make others live as long as I do, what's the point of living so long?

Chen Luo was really tired of the taste of loneliness.

Chen Luo directly used Void Walk to get close to the Nether Flower, and with both hands together, he carefully plucked a petal.

The petal, which had been constantly changing colors, turned almost transparent the moment Chen Luo plucked it.

After succeeding, Chen Luo didn't dare to be negligent and used Void Walk to leave the beautiful flower, which was also deadly dangerous, far behind.

In the four or five seconds that he was near the Nether Flower, Chen Luo felt that he had lost at least tens of thousands of years of life.

Tens of thousands of years.

If it were a god-level being with two laws who had not increased their lifespan, they would have died of old age by now.

Moreover, Chen Luo didn't even know if his time-element crystal had exerted any resistance.

Chen Luo felt that there was still the power of time remaining on the surface of the flower, but there was no longer the power of time acceleration, nor any other time effects.

Chen Luo discovered that the flower bud was closing when he plucked the petal, and had not yet bloomed.

When it wasn't blooming, it was time acceleration, so after it bloomed, would it be time reversal, or time stop?

Chen Luo asked, "Mi Fan, what is this flower for?"

Mi Fan said, "I don't know either. Maybe it's to temporarily make you immune to the power of time."

Chen Luo scratched his head and took a deep look at the Nether Flower. It's okay, I have a lot of life, so I can be capricious.

My time talent is not as good as my space talent, and the law of time is the most difficult law.

Give me time, and I might be able to become a God of Time, but it will take a long time, like thousands of years for others to comprehend one law.

That's too slow. Maybe this flower can greatly shorten the time.

This flower is destined for me.

Temporarily putting aside the Nether Flower, Chen Luo began to look for the Enlightenment Tree.

This planet was planted with a large number of plants and trees, which could be said to be the source of production for many kinds of elixirs.

It was impossible for Eugene to plant them all by himself. There were also a large number of Eugene's disciples here.

Before coming, Chen Luo had specifically done his homework and knew what various tea trees looked like.

There might be hundreds of millions of trees on this planet. Chen Luo couldn't possibly pack them all up and take them away, right?

Chen Luo began to reason.

The Enlightenment Tree was a very important thing, and it was likely near Eugene's residence.

And where was Eugene's residence?

The most beautiful house, with the most abundant spiritual energy, was his.

The dormitory, which looked like it was for the disciples, was a pass.

Chen Luo passed by a row of trees, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He saw three crooked words written next to a tree.

Enlightenment Tree.

Chen Luo looked up and saw that the tree was more than thirty meters tall and looked impressive. A faint fragrance came from its trunk.

This was the Enlightenment Tree?

It seemed to be a tea tree indeed.

Chen Luo rubbed his hands, his face excited. Was he going to succeed so easily?

Chen Luo suddenly realized that something was wrong. Was Eugene's brain malfunctioning?

Was this like saying "I haven't buried silver here" when you have? (implying the opposite)

I was delayed in the Imperial Capital for several days. After such a great thief like me appeared, it was impossible for Eugene not to have received the news.

He didn't have any precautions at all?

Did he look down on *gou* (strategy of playing safe)?

He even put a sign next to the Enlightenment Tree, afraid that I wouldn't know?

No, there must be a trap.

After a while, Chen Luo saw the three crooked words again, Enlightenment Tree.

Who wrote this? The handwriting is so ugly.

Did he guess that I was coming and deliberately confuse me?

Chen Luo finally found Eugene's residence because he personally heard two demigods saying something to Eugene.

The two demigods addressed Eugene respectfully.

A little girl in a pink dress followed Eugene.

Chen Luo just glanced at her.

Caroline said without changing her expression, "He's here."

Although Chen Luo was in a different dimension, Caroline's mental power was exceptionally strong. Mental power had one characteristic: a very strong sixth sense.

If someone was watching them, they would be able to sense it very keenly.

Caroline felt as if there was an eye watching her.

In normal times, Caroline might have thought it was her illusion, but she received Chen Luo's message.

Caroline immediately judged that Chen Luo had come and was hiding somewhere, possibly in a space that she couldn't see.

Eugene also entered the house without changing his expression.

Eugene stomped his feet. "He really came. He's so bold."

Caroline narrowed her eyes and said, "This is a good opportunity to catch him, but his arrival is too coincidental. Yun Chuyang has disappeared. He lost face in front of everyone and doesn't know where he's hiding."

"Shi Suo also ran away and can't be found in a short time. No one is using space teleportation, so manpower can't arrive immediately."

"We can't catch him by ourselves. If we could, the Emperor wouldn't have let him be so presumptuous."

They wanted to ambush, but they didn't have enough manpower.

Eugene snorted coldly. "The Enlightenment Tree has been hidden by you. It would be a miracle if he could find it."
