Chapter 1068: Demon Tree Emerges, Karmic Fire Spreads Three Thousand Miles (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Pass) Chapter 1068: Demon Tree Emerges, Karmic Fire Spreads Three Thousand Miles (Second Update, Seeking Monthly Pass) Experience proved that it was never wise to be complacent in the face of disaster.
The Demon Vines receded for three days.
It was during these three days that many allowed complacency to take root.
They unanimously believed that victory was within reach, so they grouped together and moved forward.
Among these people were even the likes of the Empire’s noble Eisen Family.
Eisen Veer, who narrowly escaped with his life due to sheer luck, wasn’t so lucky this time.
The backlash from the Demon Vines was beyond their ability to resist.
When news of the entire army’s annihilation reached Tanwood Country, Kunad was utterly shocked.
“Are they out of their minds, thinking the Demon Vines had retreated, not extinct? Did they really believe the Demon Vines were afraid of them? If they were truly frightened, would they devour millions of innocent people? Such arrogant fools, they deserved their fate!”
He sneered.
Disdainful, Kunad immediately went to Pei Jinye to report a series of recent harvests at the plantation.
“King, there is an issue. While planting, our people found that these seeds require a lot of water… The ground dries up completely in less than half a day; it’s really strange.”
Hearing this, Pei Jinye wasn’t surprised.
“These seeds need an abundance of water. Issue the orders, and come back again in the afternoon.”
“Yes.” Though Kunad didn’t know what was going to happen, he obediently agreed.
After he left,
Pei Jinye diluted the Heaven God-configured God Water.
The soil composition of the two worlds had slight differences, which he had already taken into account, but it took some time to concoct a potion specifically suitable for this world.
It took hundreds of thousands of experiments to barely succeed.
Although the effects didn’t reach the level Pei Jinye had anticipated, it was still the most effective potion available.
After handing over the ingredients to Kunad, Pei Jinye continued his cultivation.
Upon reaching Planet Level, the “Ten Stars Art” had lost its effectiveness.
Currently, the only arts Pei Jinye practiced methodically were the “Heaven Star Attraction Array” and the “Star Chronicles Art”.
However, the practice of the “Star Chronicles Art” was different from any previous cultivation.
It wasn’t enough just to recite the mantra.
Understanding one’s Life-bonding Star was necessary.
“Understanding… how do I do that?”
That became Pei Jinye’s thorny problem.
His cultivation hit a bottleneck.
The growth of Pei Jinye’s Attribute Points also entered a slow phase.
Naturally, his attention fell on the Demon Vines.
“These things have appeared rather abruptly…”
To say it was the doings of Technique God Song Zi would definitely be nonsensical.
Pei Jinye had devoured the man’s memories, so he knew better than anyone.
“So…”
“How did the Demon Vines come into existence?”
“Do they involve a secret of this world?”
He had deliberately allowed wild beasts to roam into their domain before, but found that the beasts, once entering the Demon Vine’s Domain, would be devoured by these vines, their flesh and Vitality consumed…
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken an interest in these Demon Vines.
Since they devoured flesh, it indicated that the Demon Vines had thriving Vitality, yet in his recent experiments with these Demon Vines, he found no Vitality within them.
Could it have been digested?
“Impossible!”
Pei Jinye dismissed this conjecture.
He was almost certain that his recent research on the Demon Vines had somehow gone astray.
Considering the real first outbreak of the Demon Vines…
This provided Pei Jinye with a new train of thought.
He turned around,
and stepped into the stormy snow.
The next second, he appeared underground in Terror Valley…
…
“Boom!”
The rumbling carried through.
Bright flames shot in all directions.
Spreading three thousand meters beneath the earth.
Pei Jinye saw countless chrysalises suspended in mid-air.
A Light Slash swept down.
A chrysalis fell to the ground.
The segments of white bone that had fallen out made it clear that what had been wrapped inside here was a person!
“The name ‘Demon Vine’ really does justice in devouring lives.”
Pei Jinye looked around.
Countless silkworm cocoons hung in midair, woven and suspended by the demon vines.
Even Pei Jinye couldn’t help but be somewhat moved.
“Everyone thought that the arrival of the demon vine was for the competition over territory, but that was just a front! This creature clearly sees all the beings on this planet as nothing more than nourishment for itself!”
Having realized all this,
Pei Jinye’s eyes burst forth with a dazzling ferocity.
“Boom!”
The ground quaked.
A great number of demon vines had discovered his location and were rushing towards him relentlessly, their approach as menacing as a Flying Demon Flood Dragon.
Pei Jinye stood his ground with a calm expression, showing no sign of being on the brink of a great battle.
The night breeze stirred.
Visible to the naked eye, countless particles swirled before him.
Following that, beams of bright light appeared as if the ability to tear through the air was inherent.
With a “bang!”
An unnerving collision echoed through the air.
Precisely behind Pei Jinye!
The fiercely advancing demon vine hadn’t even had the chance to deploy its meticulously planned sneak attack before it was bisected mid-approach.
Before the remaining demon vines could react, seventeen flying swords darted out.
Like a reaper through the defenseless, sparing none in their path!
Cutting swathes across a hundred li, Pei Jinye, feeling something amiss instantly, raised his hand and a particle shield emerged.
“Clang!”
It vibrated fiercely.
The force of the sound that erupted was immense.
Amidst the dust clouds swirling around, Pei Jinye took a step forward.
In an instant, thousands of streams of radiant light, dazzling beyond comparison, seemed to brighten the purgatorial darkness of the night.
A low roar followed.
Pei Jinye’s unstoppable momentum was forcefully halted.
A tree-person, as large as a mountain peak, blocked the punch with a swing of its fist and swiftly emerged from the ground.
Terrifying strength overturned the surface, making the ancient rocks seem utterly fragile at that moment.
The giant figure, more than ten meters tall, had just stood up and roared in front of Pei Jinye.
“Whiz!”
A high-frequency blast followed by a torrential sword light pierced straight through the giant tree-person’s brow.
“Boom!”
The heavy body fell, shaking the ground.
Pei Jinye drew out the sword that had fixed the opponent’s brow, and without taking a closer look, countless vine threads entwined him and instantaneously dragged him underground.
The immense force enveloped him, moving with astonishing speed.
By the time Pei Jinye acted, the vines were already blasted into tattered pieces.
Only now did he realize he was in a dark world.
All that remained was a pulsing sound, like that of a heart.
A strange sensation lingered in Pei Jinye’s mind.
Without hesitation,
His defenses flared to their fullest.
The bright light, like a shining star, dispelled the darkness that surrounded him.
Only then did Pei Jinye clearly see that opposite him was a massive tree root, deeply driven into the heart of the earth… as colossal as if a hundred Golden Mother Divine Trees had gathered together!
The oppressive sensation from just a short distance away made even Pei Jinye feel powerless… until Karmic Fire rose upon him, erasing layer upon layer of gloomy light.
Under the scorching light,
The opponent… balked.
Like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, the force of Battle Power Transfer took Pei Jinye directly out of the underground.
“Hmm?”
Pei Jinye turned and charged back in.
Once again, he was pushed back.

Pei Jinye re-entered.
The Demon Tree once again gently rejected.
And again…
The Demon Tree turned and fled.
“…”
