Chapter 718 The Road of Thorns

Chapter 718 The Road of Thorns

…

"tread"

With his feet on the ground, Liu Yu woke up after just a moment of trance, and his spiritual sense and consciousness, far beyond those of ordinary monks, spread out immediately.

Instantly, he felt the difference between this place and the previous nine floors.

The worlds on the first nine levels are all dominated by a certain kind of spiritual energy, and although the spiritual energy on the tenth level is a bit richer, it is finally not as extreme an environment as before.

With his extremely keen spiritual sense, he clearly sensed the five elements of spiritual energy everywhere in the space and reached a certain balance.

Blue sky, fresh earthy smell, various plants growing well, flowers with conspicuous colors

What comes into view is a huge "garden"

Scanning with his spiritual consciousness, Liu Yu suddenly realized that he was in a huge "garden" at this time.

Except for the one-acre piece of flat land at your feet, the rest of the place is covered with various flowers and plants.

The only way out is a winding path ahead, and I don't know where it leads.

At this time, the sky was dark and the sun had already set below the horizon, making the entire garden look a bit eerie.

"etc."

After hurriedly scanning around, Liu Yuzai turned his attention away from the path. He carefully looked at the "flowers and plants" on both sides of the path, and his expression was suddenly startled!

Nightmare Flower, Blood Poison Thorns, Bloodthirsty Demonic Vine

He murmured and read out the names of the demonic plants on both sides of the path. Various messages flashed through his mind, and his face gradually became a little ugly.

The bloodthirsty demon vine is a very dangerous demon plant in the world of immortality.

Although it still belongs to the category of plants, it will absorb all nutrients within the range, including but not limited to nutrients from the soil and the flesh and blood of humans and monsters.

Once entangled by its vines, all flesh and blood will be sucked out of the body very quickly.

More importantly, its vitality is extremely tenacious and is not restrained by fire attacks. It does not have the weaknesses of ordinary plants.

The defensive power of the first-level bloodthirsty demonic vine can resist the attacks of most magical weapons. Once it grows to the second level, it is difficult for spiritual weapons to effectively damage it.

The third-level bloodthirsty demon vine, even magic weapons, would hardly pose a threat to this vine.

The bead in front of Liu Yu's eyes, although for some unknown reason, only occupies a radius of two miles, but judging from the color of its vines and the aura it emits, it is obviously beyond the scope of the third level.

The flower pollen sprayed by the Nightmare Flower can directly attack the soul, causing the soul of the living being to fall into a dream and sink into the dream without knowing it.

Even a golden elixir monk would find it difficult to resist such an attack.

The poisonous stings shot out by the blood poisonous thorns are not only incredibly powerful, but also have extraordinary toxicity that makes even high-level monks fearful.

In Liu Yu's sight, there were monster plants with a notorious reputation, which were often dozens of feet in size.

Apparently they have grown to a mature stage and can pose a threat to the Golden Core Nascent Soul cultivators.

In comparison, even if he enters his true form, he will look a bit small, let alone in his normal state.

Even with Liu Yu's erudition, he only recognized some of the demonic plants in the "garden" and knew about their dangers and characteristics. Most of them had never been heard of.

But if you think about it with your feet, you know that being able to stand side by side with the notorious demon plant without being squeezed out of your living space is definitely not a good thing.

"Were you a little reckless earlier?"

In his spiritual sense, there was a strong sense of crisis. Liu Yu did not dare to act rashly for a while, and this thought flashed through his mind.

Maybe quitting when things get better is the right choice?

In the current crisis, even with his decisiveness, he still dared not take a step.

I can't help but start to look at myself. Have I been a little too arrogant from time to time recently?

…

Observing carefully, time passed by and the sky gradually became darker.

"rustle"

The breeze blows, and subtle sounds are heard among the strangely shaped and brightly colored flowers and plants.

In Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness, these "flowers and plants" seemed to have life, and they were silently peeping at him.

Once he makes a mistake, the surge will come and devour him!

Although there was no change for the time being, as time passed, the sense of crisis in the spiritual sense became stronger and stronger.

If you don’t do anything, nothing bad will happen after a while!

"It seems that this is the only way out."

Standing in the "garden", Liu Yu smiled bitterly.

Although the sense of crisis in his heart became more and more intense, and he was surrounded by demonic plants that could threaten his life, he still tried to calm down his ups and downs.

After taking a few deep breaths, the inner lake finally returned to calm.

Continuing to observe, Liu Yu soon discovered some mysteries here.

No matter how evil the demon plant is, no matter how huge its body is, it has never touched the trail.

Not only its body, but also the vine branches and leaves have not stepped into the trail at all.

There seems to be a clear boundary that separates the garden from the path. The two are clearly incompatible. No matter how dangerous the demonic plant is, they dare not cross this boundary.

Once crossed, there will be some kind of punishment.

Liu Yu looked carefully and saw that although there was a thick layer of yellowing branches and leaves on the path, there was not a single living plant.

"A way out?"

After staring for a long time, he seemed to realize something.

It seems that the conditions for clearing this level may be to go through many obstacles and reach the end of the road.

"This floor is very different from the first nine floors. Could it be the last level of the "Ziwei Legacy Mansion"?"

Liu Yu flashed this idea and felt that it was possible.

Xingjun only had the power to transform into gods for a short time with the blessing of the "Zhoutian Star Chart", but after all, he was not a real god-turned-god, and he was still far away from the realm of almighty power.

Being able to transform the first nine levels of the cave is already very impressive, but that’s about it.

"Staying here all the time is not an option."

"It seems that we can only move forward."

"However, these demonic plants seem to have some restrictions and cannot directly intrude on this trail."

"This way, there will be a chance of passing."

Liu Yu, who frowned and calmed down completely, began to think carefully.

If one has not cultivated enough to transform into a spirit, he does not have the ability to tear apart space and leave the secret realm. If one has not cultivated enough to reach the realm of Yuanying, he cannot abandon his body and use Yuanying teleportation.

Then it seemed that there was only one choice left before him.

That is, no matter how dangerous it is, we must move forward bravely, walk through this thorny road, and gain the fruits of victory!

Once the decision was made, Liu Yu stopped delaying and quickly came to the trail and started various tests.

Throwing various objects, causing great noise, testing possible dangers on the road and the reaction of the demonic plants on both sides.

But maybe the magic weapons, talismans, etc. are all dead objects. All kinds of demonic plants with conspicuous colors have no reaction at all without exception.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring Xiao Qing with me, otherwise I could have let this guy explore the road."

After some testing, Liu Yu had some confidence, but still had some regrets.

If there is a creature exploring the road and letting him observe the reaction of the demonic plants on both sides of the road, the next response will be much easier.

Shaking her head, seeing the sky getting darker, Liu Yu gently raised her right foot and tentatively stepped towards the trail.

"Click"

The branches were broken, the leaves were drooping, and a deep footprint was directly pressed into the road covered with a thick layer of branches and leaves.

It's called a "small path", but it's actually about two feet wide on the left and right.

The moment Liu Yu's right foot landed, the originally peaceful and peaceful atmosphere of the garden, as "wind-swept vegetation", suddenly changed!

In the garden, fierce and terrifying auras resurrected!

The dark red demonic vines that seemed to be soaked in blood began to slowly spread in the direction of Liu Yu, and hundreds of extremely thick vines began to swing irregularly.

The dark blue thorns move indistinctly, and the strangely colored flowers move automatically without the wind.

As soon as the foot fell, the countless demonic plants in the garden seemed to have life and came to life at this moment!

"Hiss~!"

A strong sense of crisis struck, and Liu Yu retracted her right foot as fast as lightning, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Faced with these demonic plants that could even threaten True Monarch Nascent Soul, even he felt a little cold in his heart.

After all, the demonic plants have a tenacious vitality. Using the Sword of Destruction, you might be able to destroy a few of them.

But there are more than a few demonic plants on this winding path? !

"That's sloppy."

Looking at the reactions of Yaozhi around him, Liu Yu smiled bitterly.

Under the bright colors, deadly murderous intent is hidden!

This initial land seems to be able to shield their senses. When the right foot is withdrawn, the demon plant loses its target, and the movement gradually subsides.

Looking at the demonic plants that were often tens of feet tall, Liu Yu once again felt her own insignificance.

But staying where he was was the only way to death, so after a few quick tests and recalling their information several times, he resolutely set foot on the trail.

"tread"

"Swish"

As soon as I landed on the path, I felt the breath of living creatures. There were dozens of feet of demonic plants around me, with bright colors and strange shapes, as if they were alive again.

Countless terrifying auras suddenly filled the entire space, making even the Nascent Soul Lord fearful.

After confirming that there were no traps on the trail, Liu Yu took a deep breath, concentrated as never before, and quickly stepped forward with the other foot.

Since there is no retreat, the only way is to move forward!

"咻咻~"

The extremely thick green thorns sprayed out dozens of spikes immediately, making bursts of sounds of piercing the air.

Each spike is as thick as an adult's arm, has extremely strong penetrating power, and is as powerful as a third-level mid- to high-grade spell.

Faced with dozens of cyan spikes whose power was comparable to the third-order and high-grade spells, Liu Yu naturally did not dare to underestimate them.

The storage ring's spiritual light flashed, and a purple lotus with flowing spiritual light instantly floated above his head.

After more than a dozen magic spells were fired in succession, powerful and pure magic power was injected into it, and pieces of purple spiritual light fell from this treasure to form a light curtain.

This is the top magic weapon "Purple Nether Lotus" obtained from Daoyi Saint Son.

"Ding ding ding~"

The next moment, a dense roar sounded.

In a very short period of time, green spikes fell on the purple light curtain one after another, causing ripples one after another.

Even with Liu Yu's current state, it would be quite difficult to resist the attack of the blood-venomous thorns, even if he activated the Purple Lotus.

The mana pours out like water bursting from a dam, and it won't last long if it continues like this!

What's even more uncomfortable is that his consciousness is suppressed in the garden. Even with his current consciousness, it can only spread about six or seven miles.

"Can't stop!"

Liu Yu knew this very well, so after setting foot on the trail, he walked as fast as he could while facing the overwhelming blue spikes coming from the sky.

In half a breath, he ran fifty feet away.

In front of them, the dark red bloodthirsty demon vine expanded slightly, and wisps of dark red mist filled the air, forming a red mist blocking the way forward.

According to the data, this red mist contains extraordinary toxicity and can corrode even the demon body of the transformed demon cultivator. It also has a slight psychedelic effect.

Although Xingchen's real body is powerful, Liu Yu has only practiced to the late third level and is not arrogant enough to defeat the demon cultivator in form. Naturally, he does not dare to test the method with his own body at this time.

Moreover, its psychedelic effects are quite deadly.

If you accidentally get lost in it, step out of the "safe path", and face the notorious demonic plants, it's possible that True Lord Nascent Soul will perish here!

"tread"

However, for this method, Liu Yu had already had a plan in mind, and his footsteps suddenly stopped in the flash of lightning.

"puff"

With a move of his left palm, a green flame emerged, and then the flames surged and flew forward.

"Zizzizi~"

The power of the third-grade Qingyang Demonic Fire was stimulated to the maximum extent, and the dark red mist that could corrode the body of the transformed demon also retreated quickly under the cyan firelight.

The green flame spread across, and the path about two feet wide appeared in sight again.

"Ding ding ding~"

After dozens of green spikes fell, dozens of branches of the blood-venomous thorns rolled, and more spikes shot through the air.

Looking around, tyrannical power fluctuations filled the path, and more than a hundred green spikes were like arrows. Liu Yu felt like it was overwhelming!

This kind of power is no less powerful than many fourth-level spells!

Liu Yu's face was solemn, and the more critical the situation, the calmer he became.

In the midst of lightning and flint, he took out several top-level third-level talismans and activated them, turning them into a series of top-level third-level spells to face the "Rain of Thorns".

Then he opened his mouth and spat out his natal magic weapon, the Sunset Golden Rainbow Spear, and the energy and body refining powers entered and exited it without any reservation, causing the power of this spear to be pushed to the extreme, shining with a bright golden-red aura.

The gun head turned and swept out to the left, shooting out thirty-six extremely condensed spear lights in an instant.

Although the number is not as exaggerated as the mature Blood Poison Thorns, the power of each ray of spear light is comparable to the third-level mid-level spell.

“Bang bang bang”

Magic weapons and talismans were used continuously, and finally most of the dense green spikes were eliminated. The remaining half fell on the green light curtain activated by the "Purple Nether Lotus" and was successfully blocked.

After prior calculation and preparation, Liu Yu finally withstood this round of attacks!

Taking advantage of this gap, he raced against the clock with swift steps, falling ten feet away every time and not daring to stay where he was for a moment.

"tread"

After falling for the ninth time, his spiritual sense suddenly felt a sting, and an extremely strong sense of crisis appeared in Liu Yu's heart.

In his spiritual vision, patches of charming pink pollen were floating towards him from all directions.

The golden elixir monks felt the terrifying power fluctuations and could not stop the pink pollen for a moment.

"Whizzing"

Liu Yu's expression changed, but his footsteps did not stop at all.

The invisible power of spiritual consciousness gathered between his eyebrows, condensed and compressed in a special way, and his eyes instantly shone with dreamy colors.

Big Dream Spring and Autumn!

Waves of blue "water waves" quickly spread to all directions with Liu Yu as the center.

"Huh~"

At the level of spiritual consciousness, there seemed to be a hurricane blowing through.

Driven by blue water waves, countless absent pink pollens were finally blown away, and the crisis was temporarily lifted.

"Nightmare Flower"

Liu Yu understood that this was the flower's attack.

Once too much pollen is inhaled, even Nascent Soul Lord will fall into a dream and die silently, with no trace of scars on his body.

"Fortunately, no accident occurred. Yaozhi cannot directly set foot on this trail and can only use the air-to-air attack."

"Otherwise, even if I have a lot of means, I'm afraid there will only be a dead end!"

During the extremely fast flyby, Liu Yu flashed this idea.

Demonic plants are somewhat similar to low-level demonic beasts. Once they are unable to take advantage of their true body and demonic body, their strength will be greatly reduced.

And this is where his opportunity lies!

But the danger of the demonic plant goes far beyond that. Its weird and unpredictable methods are also one of the biggest sources of danger.

The reason why the first part of the journey went smoothly was because Liu Yu knew the methods of those demonic plants better and had prepared a countermeasure plan in advance, so he was able to resolve them without any danger.

In the next journey, there are many demonic plants that I have never heard of. Who knows what their attack methods are like?

Therefore, Liu Yu must concentrate all his energy to face it!

"咻咻"

"Bang bang bang~"

There was a constant roar along the way, and after being baptized by various means, most of the dead branches and leaves on the road disappeared, revealing its original appearance.

The black spiritual material stone is engraved with dense runes, and even after hundreds of thousands of years of erosion, it still shines with spiritual light.

The top magic weapon Purple Nether Lotus is suspended above the head, with three protective flame shields surrounding the body, and the blue aura on the body shines all the time.

Liu Yu arranged a triple defense, holding the sunset golden rainbow gun that was pushed to the extreme, and struggled to advance against the attack of a huge demon plant that was dozens of feet tall.

Even though due to restrictions, the strength of these grotesque demonic plants could not be fully utilized, he still had to concentrate all his energy.

Otherwise, the next moment, he might be tricked by some means and lose his life in a daze.

Every moment, there is a strong sense of crisis hanging over my heart.

"Fortunately, this road is only about ten miles away."

"Otherwise, with an attack of this magnitude, mana will be consumed like running water, and I won't be able to hold on for long."

During the charge, Liu Yu flashed this idea.

In order to better display his strength, he has entered the "real body state" at this moment, and his size has once again increased to more than eight feet.

A trace of his mind is placed on the ruined sword, and he has already communicated with the sword spirit.

If you encounter a demonic plant that is difficult to deal with, or if the situation is slightly wrong, you will immediately use your spiritual treasure to solve the immediate difficulty first.

"Whizzing"

After entering the true form on the way, Liu Yu jumped more than twenty feet, and his speed greatly increased.

But the attacks they have to face have also increased exponentially.

The spear in his hand left a trail of afterimages around him, and his natal magical power "Wither" had also been used, using different methods at every moment to deal with attacks from all directions.

Even in his true form, he still looks a bit small.

On both sides of the road, the auras of many terrifying demonic plants were far more powerful than him!

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Liu Yu's heart moved, and her spiritual sense detected a subtle spatial fluctuation.

The next moment, a spiritual pressure that far exceeded ordinary golden elixirs suddenly appeared in the initial place behind him.

"This aura and spiritual pressure is the Holy Son of the Yuanshi Demon Sect!!"

"Among so many monks, only this person has the strength to come here."

With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he discovered that there was already a figure of a monk on the flat ground in the Beginning Land.
