I Am Overlord

Chapter 841: Psychedelic Flower

The glow radiating out of the tunnel looked incredibly alluring, as if a natural phenomenon was occurring within the light. Anyone who saw this sight would immediately assume that some heavenly treasure was hidden in there.

Leading everyone, Xiang Shaoyun approached cautiously. When the multicolored radiance first touched them, they did not feel anything weird. But as they continued onward, they found that they were now all alone, their companions nowhere to be seen.

Xiang Shaoyun had a bad feeling. He pushed his Nether Soul Domain's senses to the limit, trying to figure out his surroundings. Alas, he found nothing and couldn't discover anything. Without any hesitation, he activated his Goldplates, surrounding himself with layers of gold defensive barriers to protect against any surprises that might be waiting for him.

"Big Brother Tang, where are you guys?" Xiang Shaoyun shouted.

He received no answer. He quickly stepped back, prioritizing leaving before doing anything else. However, no matter how he retreated, he couldn't leave. It was as if he had been permanently trapped within the lights.

To make things worse, the lights suddenly moved and started enveloping Xiang Shaoyun, completely binding him. He struggled, but he was unable to break free.

"Piss off!" Xiang Shaoyun erupted with all his strength and even summoned some lightning bolts from the sky. Alas, nothing he did worked.

He felt fear. The lights weren't hurting him, but they had him completely trapped. This did not make any sense to him.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiang Shaoyun's body stopped moving. Finally, he realized the kind of situation he was in. With all the other Overlord Legion members, they were all tightly wrapped like cocoons, hanging before an odd plant.

The plant looked like it was a devil vine, and it had a multicolored flower at the middle of its body. The multicolored rays of light came from that flower. Xiang Shaoyun and the others were currently wrapped up in multiple layers of vines.

From far away, the plant looked like some sort of octopus, with the vines being its tentacles and the flower being its body.

Is this a psychedelic flower? Xiang Shaoyun exclaimed inwardly.

The psychedelic flower was an extremely rare plant, born with the ability to emit rays of light that could induce illusions, causing its victims to lose their rationality, allowing it to capture and devour them. This was a flower feared by many.

Each psychedelic flower had a bright illusory core located at the very middle of the flower. The core could cleanse one's mind and body, remove all hidden injuries and diseases, and increase one's resistance toward illusions.

One should never look down on these functions. The higher one's cultivation, the more important these functions were. Take the first function for example. Cleansing one's mind would grant great benefits during breakthroughs. Cleansing one's body could remove the impurities from one's body and improve one's physique. Hidden injuries and diseases were present in everyone. One might look completely healed up from any injuries one might have suffered, but some hidden injuries might stay stubbornly, eventually affecting one's breakthrough.

Removing these hidden injuries and diseases would be beneficial for one's cultivation path long-term. As for the increased resistance toward illusions, it was essentially a strengthening of one's soul. It would allow a cultivator to clearly see any illusions they had fallen into.

If they could kill this psychedelic flower and obtain its bright illusory core, they would profit greatly. However, even escaping seemed hard, let alone killing the psychedelic flower. The flower seemed completely immune to anything they could do.

Two of them were sent toward the flower. The petals opened, revealing a mouth. The flower was clearly going to swallow them. The two were so scared they teared up. They quickly crushed their protective jades and withdrew from the battleground.

Failing to swallow the pair, the psychedelic flower drew two other people over, trying to swallow them instead. The two struggled as best as they could to no avail. Thus, they were forced to crush their protective jades.

Xiang Shaoyun's brain raced as he tried coming up with a solution. If he failed to think of something, all the Overlord Legion members would be forced to withdraw from the battleground. Although Yun Flame was powerful, it still wasn't strong enough to burn the vines wrapped around him. It was clear how high-tier this flower was.

Xiang Shaoyun could no longer afford to hide his trump cards. He drew the Radiant Saint Sword from his astral cosmos sea and forcefully controlled it with his thoughts. He then cut himself free. The Radiant Saint Sword was worthy of being a saint-grade sword. It was sharp enough to slice through the vines like a hot knife cutting through butter.

The moment he cut himself free, he held the Radiant Saint Sword and started swinging.

Swish! Swish!

The sword swept everywhere, cutting everyone else loose as well. Finally, the psychedelic flower sensed that something was happening. The glow on its bud shifted and became even more psychedelic, as though it was trying to capture them all again.

Xiang Shaoyun naturally wouldn't give it a chance to do anything. He slashed at the flower, sending forth a bright sword energy that sliced the flower in half, causing the flower to start withering. He rushed forward and continued swinging his sword, cutting the flower over and over, causing it to fully wither away.

After killing the psychedelic flower, Xiang Shaoyun plucked the bright illusory core from it. The moment he held the core in his hand, a bewitching fragrance drilled into his nostrils. His head spun, and he collapsed onto the ground, giving everyone a fright. They rushed over to check on him.

One of them was more knowledgeable than the others. He said, "Don't worry. The overlord has inhaled some fragrance from the flower's core. Wait until the effect wears off, and he will be fine again."

Everyone heaved a breath of relief. If a mishap happened to the overlord, they wouldn't know what to do.

"Clean up the battlefield. These vines are excellent refining materials," commanded Tang Longfei.

The others started harvesting the flower's petals and vines, not forgetting to contribute a portion of their gains to the Overlord Legion.

At this time, Pan Yun's voice rang out, "Huh? Everyone, look! Seems like there's an ancient stele there?"

Everyone heard Pan Yun, and just as they were about to get a closer look, a voice rang out, "Looks like I don't need to work hard for this, after all. The ancient stele is actually hidden at a place like this. Overlord Legion members, you may all get lost now. This place no longer has anything to do with you."
