Florida Man's General Store in Cultivation World

Chapter 326 – Florida Man Rescues Endangered Killer Whale from Hunters, Shockingly Discovers His Mother Among Them, Prompts Pursuit to Murder the Escaped Whale.

CRACK

The sealing array surrounding Planet Devourer weakened. The flesh whale gradually consumed the flame of Priscilla and her minions' energy while he gathered strength to break the seal.

Priscilla's expression changed. She bellowed.

"HOLY FLAME!"

That was her ultimate system ability. By enveloping a target with her flame, it would erode the soul of the target from within regardless of cultivation base and strength difference. However, this power would also consume one to two billion years of her lifespan peruse.

"HAHAHAHA! YOU FINALLY USE ALL YOUR CARDS! NOW, MY TURN!" Planet Devourer cackled. "SYSTEM DESTRUCTION!"

Priscilla wasn't the only one with a system skill. Planet Devourer also had a trump card waiting for this occasion. He ejected seven entity fate crystals that he had been hiding in his flesh and merged them into a true entity fate crystal. Then, he crushed it.

CLANK!

As Planet Devourer had foreseen, by destroying the new entity fate crystal, he could cancel a system user's abilities and remove her power entirely! Moreover, everybody in the area would be affected.

BOOM

A shockwave blasted everybody around Planet Devourer. Lucky, Ellen, Priscilla, and the phoenixes were blown away. Only Xiaomao managed to resist the shockwave as he was tied to Planet Devourer with his fishing rod.

At the same time, Priscilla's ability reached Planet Devourer and struck his soul. Feeling the pain of soul flame, he screeched and thrashed around in pain.

DING

DING

DING

System messages appeared in front of everybody, informing them that their systems were being forcefully uninstalled!

Ellen, Lucky, Priscilla, and the phoenixes who owned system skills vomited blood as their souls and bodies were cut from the inside. The backlash degraded their cultivation base by a major realm!

Xiaomao, on the other hand, didn't receive a system message or a backlash as he didn't have any fate crystal in his soul. He only felt a strong gale pushing him backward.

The fisherman overlord looked around and realized the dire situation. He clicked his tongue.

"This is why you shouldn't implant fate crystals into your soul! No cultivator should rely on that shortcut!"

As everybody was critically injured, Xiaomao was the only capable fighter of their forces. He gathered his strength and increased his power output, stabbing Planet Devourer with his silver Qi.

"HAHAHAHAHA! YOU'RE BY YOURSELF NOW, CATHULHU OVERLORD!"

Planet Devourer cackled while he endured the remaining eroding flame in his soul. Half of him was burnt to a crisp, and he couldn't regenerate his flesh. However, his cultivation base never regressed because of several artifacts inside his stomach.

Suddenly, Planet Devourer spat 100,000 purple leaves from his mouth and burst into laughter.

"IT'S OVER! TASTE THE DESPAIR!"

All 100,000 void leaves dissipated into purple dust, which were assimilated with Planet Devourer's body. Instantly, his body and soul were completely healed. His dantian and energy were also restored.

Like a video game player who witnessed the final boss use a healing spell on himself, Xiaomao almost cursed gods and the items that Planet Devourer had just used.

"N…No way." Priscilla was still dazed by the previous attack. When she noticed how Planet Devourer restored his health and Qi to his prime, she lost the will to fight.

Lucky's face turned dark. He immediately turned his tail and flew away from the battlefield. As for Ellen, she still couldn't believe that her cultivation regressed to the entity realm.

"NOOOOOO!!" Ellen cried. She worked so hard to reach the karmic sovereign realm, but she lost all her progress. Moreover, her soul and dantian were in a mess that she wouldn't be able to recover her strength within 10,000 years.

The rest of the phoenixes were in disarray. Half of them fled in panic while the remaining half staggered in confusion.

Planet Devourer took his leisure time to break the weakened seal. He also slowly pulled Xiaomao's fishing line, which latched to his soul.

"That was fun, Priscilla. Too bad, our playtime is over. From now on, you shall become the seedbed for my reproduction experiment! As for your race and kin, I'll let them live for now since they might produce another fine woman like you! Hehehehe!"

"…"

Nobody uttered a word. Priscilla didn't even listen to Planet Devourer as she was still traumatized and shocked.

Overlord Xiaomao glanced at Priscilla and Ellen. Upon noticing their expressions, he let out a long sigh. Then, he mustered his courage.

"Even if our chance of winning is one in a billion, I will not give up!"

The fisherman deeply inhaled and injected all his Qi and life force into his fishing rod. The fishing line glittered and multiplied into a trillion wire-like strings.

The strings detached from the finishing rods and began moving like snakes. They rushed toward Planet Devourer.

A billion threads pierced into the whale's body like hungry parasites. The rest of them turned into ropes, coiling and tying the massive body of the monster. Then, they tightened and threatened to cut Planet Devourer into pierces.

Planet Devourer ignored the attacks and shifted his eyes toward Overlord Xiaomao. He gave the old man a meaningful look.

"One in a billion, you say? You know what? Let me calculate that chance for you. I think one in a billion is an overstatement. Your chance should be even lower than that. Maybe… no chance at all? HAHAHAHAHA!"

Planet Devourer closed his eyes and activated his system to predict the result of this fight one hour in the future. A thousand timelines of possible future turned into memory, which entered his mind.

"…Huh?"

Something strange occurred in the memory.

For some reason, they were all black. All predicted events were either blank or black as if the scenes were abruptly cut off.

"This is odd."

This was Planet Devourer's first time experiencing this. He stopped playing around and looked deeper, wondering what went wrong.

Again, all predictions showed as black scenes.

Planet Devourer opened his eyes as he sensed something amiss. He started asking his system.

"SYSTEM! FORECAST THE RESULT OF THIS WAR! WHO WILL BE THE VICTOR?!"

DING

<There is a 100% chance that Priscilla and her alliance will win this war.>

"WHAT?!" The answer shocked Planet Devourer. "BUT THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I'VE ALREADY CRIPPLED THEM ALL! WHO IS GOING TO DEFEAT ME?!"

DING

<The major contributor to this war is Florida Man.>

"???"

Planet Devourer paused for a few seconds. He wasn't familiar with the name. At the back of his head, he knew that he heard this name before, but he couldn't remember it.

"Who?"

<Leonardo 'Florida Man' Ariel, the son of Aslan Ariel.>

"!!!"

Finally, Planet Devourer remembered the name. After all, he had been stalking Aslan and Eleanor's events for a long time.

As this was the first time his system predicted his defeat, Planet Devourer panicked. He closed his eyes and calculated his future again. This time, he shortened the scan and calculated the next 10 minutes.

DING

New scenes entered his mind. A middle-aged man with a transparent scythe would appear in the next few seconds. They would fight, but all fights resulted in Planet Devourer's death.

Unable to believe in the predicted future, Planet Devourer opened his eyes and bellowed.

"FLORIDA MAN! I'LL BE SURE TO HUNT YOU DOWN!"

The giant whale rapidly shrank, escaping from Xiaomoa's restraints. After fleeing himself from the fishing lines, he vanished, fleeing toward the Void Tree.

…

WHOOSH

Leo arrived at the battlefield in space. He paused and looked around, checking the conditions of Priscilla and Xiaomao.

Upon seeing Overlord Xiaomao's face, Leo was disappointed.

"Oh, you're not my father. Sorry, I mistook you for the wrong person."

Xiaomao tilted his head in confusion. Although he was relieved that Planet Devourer suddenly retreated, he didn't let his guard down against Leo.

"Are you Overlord Florida Man of the Yan Empire Planet?"

Leo pursed his lips, "That nickname is cringe. Just call me Florida Man for short. No more prefixes or suffixes, please."

"…Okay."

"But before that…" Leo noticed the weird state of Priscilla, Ellen, and the phoenixes. He swept his gaze and searched for the perpetrator, "Where is that abomination that you fought earlier?"

"He… runs away."

"I see. Which direction?"

Xiaomao turned right and pointed in the general direction of the void tree. "Probably there. There's the Void Tree five galaxies away, but I doubt those planet eaters leave any star behind. You will have to fly through the dark."

"No problem."

Leo thanked Xiaomao and gazed in that direction. His eyes gleamed in green light while he scanned the entire universe with his senses.

PONG

Like a sonar wave, a silent and faint shockwave expanded and covered the entire space. The map of the universe appeared in Leo's mind, updating the information.

Then, Leo saw the Void Tree for the first time. He also found the mysterious flesh monster that attacked Xiaomao and Priscilla earlier.

While Leo mumbled to himself, Priscilla came back to her senses. When she saw Leo, she was surprised.

"You… why are you here?"

Hearing Priscilla's question, Leo smirked and messed with her, "Saving my foster mother's tits, what else?"

"…"

Instead of being angry, Priscilla reverted to her human form. She pulled Leo into her valley.

Because of the size difference, Leo was buried in the flesh mountains.

"Thank you! Your mother thought she would become that monster's meat slave for eternity. I'm glad my son is here to save me!"

Leo was annoyed, but her didn't reject the soft mountains. He slowly climbed out of the giant cleavage and coughed.

"Dearest mother, I'm married. We might be mother and son, but we're not actually related by blood."

"Bullshit. You have my blood essence. You are of my blood!"

"Then… you probably need to respect HIM as one of my fathers." Leo pointed at Xiaomao.

"Him?" Priscilla was confused for a moment. But then, she realized something absurd.

Leo had Xiaomao's bloodline in him as well. Although it was faint, Leo's dantian and blood carried a tinge of Xiaomao's unique dao – The Seven Sins Dao.

Priscilla was speechless. She glanced at Xiaomao in disgust.

"I can't believe I have to share my son with you, Overlord Xiaomao."

"Share what?" Xiaomao was clueless about this matter. He felt like Priscilla misunderstood him.

"Anyway," Leo stopped them from the internal fight. "I'm busy. I'm going to chase that abomination of a fish for a second."

"W-Wait! That's dangerous!" Priscilla flustered, worrying for Leo's safety.

Leo didn't listen to Priscilla. He vanished, flying through space as if he could teleport across the universe.

.

.

"I'm alive!"

Planet Devourer arrived at a perch of the Void Tree. He gnawed a branch, a million void leaves, and a thousand fate crystals at once.

After swallowing everything, Planet Devourer looked behind him. Upon seeing how Leo wasted his time talking with Priscilla and Xiaomao, he was relieved.

"Heh, idiot. You should have struck me when you had a chance! Now, what is the future? How do I defeat Florida Man!? Tell me, system!"

DING

<Calculating…>

<You have the advantage of fate crystal quantity. You should start combining fate crystals to produce at least one true entity fate crystal to help you fight against Florida Man.>

Planet Devourer was relieved. He started calculating his victory chance next.

Unfortunately, the result terrified Planet Devourer.

DING

<You have a 0% chance of victory against Florida Man!>

"WHAT?! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!"

Planet Devourer couldn't believe it. A few days earlier, the possibility of him killing everybody in the universe was 99%. However, the new prediction didn't make sense.

Not giving up, Planet Devourer used the system to see into the future. He peeked into a million timelines in the next five minutes.

Unfortunately, he no longer had the time to do so.

WHOOSH

While Planet Devourer wasted his time calculating the future, Leo already arrived. He floated in front of the Void Tree, staring at the monster whale.

Leo grumbled and rotated his arms, warming up.

"Let's get this over with, you dork. I don't know you, but you probably know me. You sent your goon after my brother and me for some reason, and you bullied my foster mom. Therefore, I have a legitimate reason to shove oversized durian-smelled dynamites up your rectum and have them blown from the inside. Now, can you do me a favor and die quietly so that I can move on with my life?"

"…You." Planet Devourer had never seen a cocky and obnoxious human like Leo before. He was offended. "How dare you use that tone to me?! Who do you think you are?!"

"Who am I?" Leo coughed and deepened his voice. "I AM FLORIDA MAN!"

Leo ejected 10 void leaves from his soul and transformed them into a purple scythe.
