1020 Finally Obtaining the Hallucinatory Demonic Orchid!
Liu Yan continued moving forward for some distance. As he moved forward, the Fire Elemental Domain moved in sync with him.
As the Fire Elemental Domain moved, it instantly devastated the forest in its range.
Both ordinary flora and various monster plants were obliterated in an instant.
Of course, this area was originally the habitat of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower, mainly consisting of these flowers.
After advancing a distance, Liu Yan spotted a silver-cup-colored flower ahead on the scorched land.
To be precise, he didn’t see it but rather perceived it through his S-grade perception skill, Extraordinary Five Senses.
Observing with the naked eye, there was nothing in the area, just scorched earth from the destruction.
Seeing this, Liu Yan was somewhat surprised. He employed his SS-grade skill, Extraordinary Five Senses, to enhance his visual ability.
Even after enhancing his vision, the scene remained unchanged.
Simply observing with the naked eye revealed nothing.
Seeing this, the Withered Tree Spirit King reminded Liu Yan that the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid couldn’t be seen with the naked eye. Only beings with powerful mental abilities could sense its presence using strong perception.
Learning this, Liu Yan was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid to be so elusive, invisible to the naked eye. It truly was an incredibly mystical monster plant.
Liu Yan inquired further from the Withered Tree Spirit King about whether the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid was dangerous.
The Withered Tree Spirit King informed Liu Yan that it wasn’t. The Hallucinatory Demon Orchid was a highly unique existence. It possessed no offensive capabilities, only the power to influence one’s mind.
As long as one’s spirit energy was powerful enough, there was no risk.
Liu Yan’s spirit energy was already more than adequate.
Liu Yan felt relieved upon hearing this.
When it came to his mental prowess, Liu Yan was undoubtedly extremely self-assured.
With a mental energy attribute exceeding hundreds of thousands, not to mention an S-grade Hallucinatory Demon Orchid, even a similar SS-grade monster plant would likely hold little fear for Liu Yan.
Liu Yan focused his concentration and approached the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid.
When he got within about ten meters of the flower, Liu Yan suddenly felt his head spin, as if he were about to fall asleep.
However, in just an instant, Liu Yan quickly regained his clarity.
Liu Yan realized that this was the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid’s mental attack or more accurately, its defense mechanism.
The Hallucinatory Demon Orchid itself lacked offensive and defensive capabilities. It relied solely on the fact that ordinary creatures couldn’t perceive its existence with the naked eye to ensure its safety.
Once a creature could perceive its presence, the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid would simply induce that creature into an illusion to protect itself.
Yet, as long as one’s spirit energy was sufficiently robust as Liu Yan’s was, they wouldn’t be affected by the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid.
Ultimately, as long as someone possessed solid perception and an extremely potent spirit energy, they could both discover and pluck the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid.
It might seem like only two conditions, and they might sound simple, but achieving them was tremendously challenging.
After all, not everyone had the formidable spirit energy that Liu Yan possessed. Ordinary Awakened wouldn’t be able to detect the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid, let alone resist its mental attacks and continue forward.
If they couldn’t even detect it, even with immense strength, how could they possibly pluck the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid?
At this moment, Liu Yan couldn’t help but feel fortunate. This S-grade rare monster plant, the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid, was already so elusive and challenging to pluck. Without relying on the Withered Tree Spirit King’s powerful perception and his potent spirit energy, Liu Yan likely wouldn’t have been able to find or pluck this Hallucinatory Demon Orchid.
When it came to other materials needed to construct the essence pool, which was even more challenging to find, given how elusive even an S-grade rare material was.
Fortunately, Lu Dajiang and his group had brought a variety of treasures from the Lighthouse Territory’s warehouse, saving Liu Yan and the people from the Origin Territory a significant amount of time and effort.
With the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid plucked, he now had the last piece required to build the special building, the essence pool!
Suppressing the calmness within himself, Liu Yan approached the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid.
In moments of imminent success, maintaining inner tranquility was crucial to prevent any unforeseen incidents or risks.
Liu Yan cautiously approached the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid, focusing primarily on heightened mental concentration and vigilance.
After all, his Fire Elemental Domain blazed around him, and relative safety was assured, excessive caution was unnecessary.
Fortunately, no unexpected events unfolded.
Upon reaching the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid, Liu Yan plucked it directly and stowed it away.
Though invisible to the naked eye, the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid could be touched.
Though its touch was ethereal and almost weightless, like air devoid of sensation, Liu Yan’s activated S-grade perception skill, Omniscient Insight, allowed him to distinctly sense the slightest touch. He effortlessly collected the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid.
Thus, Liu Yan secured the S-grade rare material, the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid, achieving the objective of this journey and finally obtaining the last material required to construct the essence pool.
Standing up, Liu Yan surveyed his surroundings. Far beyond the Fire Elemental Domain, a plethora of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers could be seen.
However, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers were cautious due to the presence of the Fire Elemental Domain. Not only did they refrain from approaching Liu Yan, but they didn’t dare to get close to his fire attribute elemental powers.
As long as they were slightly closer to the Fire Elemental Domain, under the influence of this terrifying fire attribute elemental powers, these Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers would be injured at the very least, and their lives would be in danger.
So long as Liu Yan’s Fire Elemental Domain persisted, these 14-star combat strength Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers would remain unable to approach him. They were incapable of inflicting any meaningful harm on Liu Yan.
In his mind, Liu Yan inquired about the movements of the powerful Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers from the Withered Tree Spirit King.
Previously, they had been close to Liu Yan. However, Liu Yan had just opened his Fire Elemental Domain to pick the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid, so he had not paid any attention to them.
At this moment, there were still a large number of Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers in the distance that could affect Liu Yan’s perception. Liu Yan was also unable to sense the movements of those few powerful Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. He could only confirm the movements of those few powerful Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers through the Withered Tree Spirit King.
The Withered Tree Spirit King informed Liu Yan that the formidable Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had already arrived. Yet, they seemed to be wary of Liu Yan’s Fire Elemental Domain, and as a result, they hadn’t drawn near. Instead, they had adopted a surrounding formation, spreading out in the surroundings.
The Withered Tree Spirit King also conveyed to Liu Yan that while these formidable Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers had the desire to confront him, they were also consumed by fear. It appeared they were unlikely to make a direct move. If Liu Yan left immediately, there probably wouldn’t be any imminent danger.
Naturally, this depended on Liu Yan maintaining his Fire Elemental Domain while departing.
As long as Liu Yan disabled his Fire Elemental Domain, not only the powerful Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers, but even the nearby 14-star elite Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers might charge towards him in an instant.
The Withered Tree Spirit King recommended that Liu Yan swiftly depart while he could still sustain the Fire Elemental Domain. The farther away he got, the better. After all, the mission’s goal had been achieved, and he needn’t continue offending the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers.
Upon hearing the Withered Tree Spirit King’s advice, Liu Yan offered a peculiar smile.
Under ordinary circumstances, Liu Yan should have adhered to the Withered Tree Spirit King’s suggestion and swiftly left while he could maintain the Fire Elemental Domain.
After all, the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers’ habitat wasn’t just brimming with numerous Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. It also harbored fiercely powerful ones. Danger could strike at any moment, so leaving promptly to avoid any unforeseen mishaps was prudent.
However, Liu Yan’s intent for coming here extended beyond merely finding the Hallucinatory Demon Orchid. He also aimed to delve into the core region of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers’ habitat.
Initially, Liu Yan harbored concerns about encountering danger. Yet, he hadn’t anticipated the sheer might of his Fire Elemental Domain, a potency so intense that it even subdued these potent Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. This outcome had indeed exceeded Liu Yan’s expectations.
And in this way, didn’t it also mean that Liu Yan’s actions could be more impudent?
Liu Yan asked, “How powerful are these potent Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers?”
Withered Tree Spirit King replied, “They are exceedingly strong. Why are you asking so much? Hurry and depart.”
Liu Yan said, “What’s the rush? Don’t worry, I possess enough energy within me to sustain this Fire Elemental Domain for a while. Tell me, just how strong are these formidable Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers? Also, in which direction lies the core area of the Hallucinatory Man-eating Flower’s habitat?”
The Withered Tree Spirit King found Liu Yan’s intentions somewhat puzzling but eventually divulged information regarding the formidable Hallucinatory Man-eating Flowers. Their number totaled eight, each boasting a combat strength of 17 stars. One of them even possessed a staggering 18-star combat strength.
