Chapter 416 Eyes That See Through the Past and Future

【Occupied Area, Changsheng Island】

After listening to Tiandao's words, the mysterious old man stared at Tiandao with profound eyes for a long time before finally speaking slowly.

"It seems you are much more special than I thought. In that case, you should be careful."

The mysterious old man took off his slightly cracked monocle and carefully placed it in his breast pocket, revealing his special pupils that shimmered with dark green light, with faint purple vine patterns creeping across the whites of his eyes.

Clearly, these are not the 'eyes' a normal person should have.

Not long after the mysterious old man put away his glasses, the sea of ​​flowers around him suddenly erupted with a deafening roar.

Then, the vines that were originally spread on the beach seemed to go crazy, one by one rising from the ground and instantly growing into white giant vines more than ten meters high, enveloping the heavens.

These vines are not only covered with sharp thorns, but the tips of the thorns also have a ghostly green 'cold light'.

However, even more terrifying than these are the white flowers growing on these vines.

They all opened their petals, revealing the fine, dark red stamens inside, and sprayed out clusters of dark green spores.

The spores rapidly coalesced in the air into a dense, toxic mist, which corroded the air with a sharp, hissing sound.

As the Heavenly Dao gazed at the overwhelming vines and poisonous mist, it slowly raised its right hand.

Star Energy Technique - Black Azure!
The black orb of light flew out, and the airflow generated by its high-speed rotation caused it to stir up visible gusts of air during its flight.

boom!
The moment the black vines collided with the white vines, a piercing metallic scraping sound suddenly rang out.

The white vines that could easily crush S-grade star energy metal were now as fragile as reeds, with more than ten main vines easily crushed by the Heavenly Dao's 'Black Azure'.

As the vines broke, a large amount of dark green sap splashed onto the beach like a torrential rain, emitting puffs of white smoke.

At the same time, the airflow generated by the Black Cang forcibly reversed the direction of the oncoming poisonous fog, causing it to sweep towards the direction where the old man was, along with the Black Cang.

On the beach, the mysterious old man looked at the black mist that was attacking him and the poisonous fog surrounding it, without the slightest panic on his face.

He pressed the staff into the sand, and the staff instantly lit up with milky white patterns.

"The rose is in bloom."

As soon as he finished speaking, the beach in front of the old man suddenly rose up with a roar.

Countless white vines burst forth from the ground once more, and through their continuous intertwining and entwining, they instantly coalesced into a five-meter-high vine barrier.

Meanwhile, the roses growing on the vines bloomed one after another at a speed visible to the naked eye.

With each layer of petals overlapping, a special 'hard outer wall' was quickly built on top of the original vine barrier.

Shortly after the old man erected the 'rose wall', Hei Cang crashed hard into the center of the wall.

First came a deafening explosion, followed by an incredibly powerful shockwave.

As the blast wave swept through, the bluish-gray sand and white rose petals on the beach shot into the sky, forming a strange mushroom cloud.

The commotion was so great that even Caroline and the others, who had already retreated to the edge of the jungle a kilometer away, felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently.

However, before the viewers at the 13th station could clearly see the mysterious old man's specific situation amidst the smoke and dust...

Suddenly, a giant flower blade, over ten meters long, burst through the mist and slashed down towards the Heavenly Dao.

The blade is made up of countless white petals tightly joined together, gleaming with a soft white light.

The blade and hilt are formed from intertwined vines. This combination gives the massive blade not only astonishing power but also a unique natural aesthetic, making it a true work of art.

Before the audience could appreciate it any further, the giant flower blade had already created a long trench in the sand due to the wind pressure it generated, even before it landed. This demonstrated its immense power.

However, facing the massive, fierce-looking blade, Tiandao remained calm and showed no sign of defense, simply raising his head silently.

A streak of azure light flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao.

The patterns on every petal of the giant flower blade, the flow of every wisp of star energy in the vines, and even the vibration frequency of the vine cells were all clearly visible to the Heavenly Dao.

"Vector. Invert".

As soon as the Heavenly Dao uttered its words, the giant flower blade that was about to cleave down was suddenly and mysteriously frozen in mid-air.

Immediately afterward, cracks appeared on the giant flower blade, accompanied by a crisp sound like porcelain shattering.

boom!
After numerous cracks covered the entire surface of the giant flower blade, it quickly disintegrated completely in mid-air.

White petals mixed with fragments of purple vines scattered everywhere, and dozens of petals even possessed the same high-speed spinning properties as 'Black Azure,' shooting towards the old man who was still maintaining the barrier at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

This is a 'gift' sent by Heaven, a small 'return' to the mysterious old man.

The old man's pupils constricted sharply, and he instinctively turned to the side to dodge.

Even so, his right arm was still scratched by a petal with sharp thorns, leaving a hideous wound.

Strangely, what flowed from the mysterious old man's wound was not blood, but a milky white, resin-like liquid.

The 'blood' dripping onto the beach quickly solidified into translucent 'amber' beads, emitting a faint, unique woody fragrance.

"really."

As the mysterious old man's unusual blood flowed out, the Heavenly Dao's lips curled slightly.

"I've been thinking about what kind of place could give a person who should have died long ago a new lease on life and allow them to appear openly in an era that doesn't belong to them."

"And now we have the answer to this question."

As they spoke, Tiandao looked at the mysterious old man.

"A monocle, a gentleman's suit, a cane, and that iconic rose."

"If my memory serves me right, there was a person in the primitive era at the beginning of the Star Origin's arrival who was dressed in a very fitting way."

"What do you think, Mr. Wilfer, who is known as the 'Rose Gentleman'?"

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, the mysterious old man on the beach suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

At the same time, the look in his eyes as he gazed at the Heavenly Dao became incredibly complex.

After an unknown amount of time, the mysterious old man straightened up, looked at the Heavenly Dao with a solemn expression, and asked, "When did you discover this?"

The Heavenly Dao gave an answer to this question that greatly surprised the mysterious old man.

"From the moment you appeared."

"After all, the 'Ancient God' you mentioned isn't the only one who can see through the fog of time and see the past and the future."
