Chapter 1068 Blood Vine Forest
"Everyone be careful, stay close to me." Yu Shuheng was the first to step into the crevice.
After a dizzying spin, the four of them found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place, as if they had fallen into a fog.
This is a desolate plain, and the sky is like a silk stained with blood, displaying an eerie dark red color, as if it were a bloody painting.
In the distance, several black mountain peaks rose abruptly, like a group of ferocious beasts. Lightning flashed across the peaks from time to time, accompanied by bursts of thunder, as if they were roaring.
The faint, lingering smell of blood in the air was like an invisible claw, making one want to vomit.
"The atmosphere here is so evil..." Xie Zihu's face was as pale as paper, and he subconsciously moved closer to Yu Shuheng, as if searching for a sense of security.
Yu Shuheng dared not be negligent in the slightest. He circulated his spiritual power and built an indestructible protective shield around everyone.
"Everyone must not be careless. The evil god's mustard seed space must be a den of dragons and tigers, full of traps and mechanisms."
Just then, the ground suddenly trembled violently, as if the earth was groaning in pain.
On the distant horizon, a group of eerie creatures surged forth like a tide.
They had humanoid bodies, but seemed like lifeless zombies, with sickly gray-white skin, blood-red eyes like burning flames, and various crude weapons in their hands, like a group of evil spirits from hell.
“They are corpse demons!” Xie Ziquan recognized these creatures at a glance. “Legend has it that they are monsters made by evil gods from living people. They have no sense of pain, are incredibly strong, and are as hard as steel.”
Since deciding to destroy the Evil God Temple, the people in the ruined temple have been like hunting dogs, constantly gathering information related to the Evil God Temple.
Therefore, Xie Ziquan made an accurate judgment with just one glance.
The number of corpse demons that appeared this time was so great that they were like a swarm of locusts crossing a river. They let out hoarse howls and pounced on the five people like a pack of hungry wolves.
"Prepare for battle!" Yu Shuheng gave the order.
The three quickly formed the "Golden Spear Three Talents Formation," with Yu Shuheng standing by, responsible for command and support.
Xie Ziquan and Xie Ziyue led the way, while Xie Zihu provided support from behind using concealed weapons.
Although the corpse demons are numerous, they are of low intelligence and only charge mindlessly.
With the three working together, the corpse demons fell one after another.
Strangely, the slain corpse demon did not truly die, but instead transformed into a wisp of black smoke and reformed.
"Oh no, normal attacks are ineffective against them!" Xie Zihu shouted anxiously.
Yu Shuheng observed calmly and discovered that the corpse demons were all wrapped in a wisp of black energy, which was the energy that allowed them to regenerate continuously.
"Use the power of purification!" Yu Shuheng took out several spirit stones and quickly set up a small spirit-gathering array. "Everyone, pour your spiritual power into the array!"
The three of them simultaneously channeled their spiritual energy into the formation, and instantly, the formation erupted with dazzling golden light.
Wherever the golden light passed, the black aura on the corpse demons instantly dissipated, and their bodies began to turn to ash.
After dealing with the horde of corpse demons, the four continued deeper into the territory.
After walking for about an hour, a strange forest appeared ahead.
The trees in the forest were all black, with blood-red leaves, exuding an ominous aura.
"Be careful, there's something wrong with this forest," Yu Shuheng warned.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a strange laugh echoed through the forest. Immediately afterward, countless red vines burst forth from the ground, attacking the three of them.
These vines are exceptionally tough and cannot be cut by ordinary swords or knives.
Even more terrifying is that the area entangled by the vines will feel a sharp pain, as if something is sucking away its life force.
"It's Blood Vine!" Xie Ziquan recognized the plant. "A legendary evil plant that feeds on lifeblood!"
Xie Ziyue's arm was wrapped by a blood vine, and his face instantly turned pale: "It hurts...it hurts so much...it's sucking my blood!"
In a moment of panic, Yu Shuheng disregarded revealing his strength and immediately unleashed the Azure Dragon Demon-Slaying Technique.
The illusory image of the Azure Dragon burst forth, and wherever it passed, the blood vines withered.
"Everyone, don't let them touch us!" Yu Shuheng thought of a countermeasure while fighting. "Blood vines are afraid of fire, attack with flames!"
Xie Ziyue immediately took out a flame talisman, activated it, and threw it at the blood vine swarm.
The flame rune burst into raging flames, and the blood vines ignited upon contact with the fire, sizzling as they quickly turned to ashes.
Xie Ziquan and Xie Zihu immediately followed suit, each taking out a flame talisman.
Before Su Xiaoya returned, the inner disciples of the Su family truly practiced the principle of "if you can't kill them, then fight them to the death."
The twelve peaks are all engaged in life-threatening cultivation—cultivating martial arts techniques, various skills, and more...
So, talismans? Who keeps them one by one in their spatial ring? No matter what kind of talisman it is, they're always sold in stacks and piles.
So, Xie Zihu and the other two started throwing the cards one by one, but later they started throwing them in ten-card increments!
It's not that there isn't enough, it's that we can't waste it.
Ten photos, just right!
That's it.
With talismans clearing the way, the four quickly passed through the Bloodvine Forest, where a black palace appeared ahead.
The palace has a bizarre architectural style, with walls covered in various evil runes. The doors are tightly closed, and two stone statues guard the entrance.
“This should be the palace of the evil god,” Yu Shuheng said. “Everyone, be prepared; there may be even greater danger inside.”
The four approached the palace cautiously. When they reached the statue, it suddenly opened its eyes, which flashed red light.
"Trespassers will die!"
The stone statue emitted a deep sound and swung its enormous stone sword at the five people. Even before the sword fell, the powerful pressure made it difficult for them to breathe.
"Get out of the way!" Yu Shuheng pushed Xie Ziquan aside and barely avoided the stone sword.
Although Xie Zihu and his two companions had already broken through to the Void Refinement stage, they were still no match for this stone statue.
The stone sword struck the ground, carving out a deep trench several meters deep.
"This stone statue's strength is at least at the peak of the Integration Stage!" Xie Zihu said in shock.
The two stone statues attacked simultaneously, wielding stone swords and unleashing a torrent of sword energy. The three could only dodge, utterly powerless to retaliate.
Yu Shuheng, at the peak of the Mahayana stage, could naturally destroy the stone statue with ease.
However, this would render the idea of bringing Xie Zihu and the other two into the training a joke.
Two fists are no match for four hands.
Since Qingyuan Star can be upgraded from the cultivation world to the immortal world, the Su family can no longer grow slowly.
In the grand scheme of things across countless worlds, it's unrealistic to rely solely on yourself and Su Xiaoya.
As for Jinlong and Laobai, who were also tools for transmigrating to Qingyuan Star, without a physical body, even the most powerful ghosts would easily become targets!
So, in that critical moment, Yu Shuheng reminded them: "Look, there is a groove on the chest of the stone statue, and something seems to be shimmering in the groove."
"I've got an idea!" Xie Ziquan shouted. "Zihu, Ziyue, you two hold the statues back, I'll go try to shut them down!"
