Chapter 718 The Road of Thorns
……
"tread"
Keeping his feet on the ground, Liu Yu woke up after only a moment of trance, and the spiritual sense and spiritual consciousness far surpassed that of ordinary monks spread out immediately.
In an instant, he felt the difference between this place and the first nine floors.
In the first nine levels of the world, all of them are dominated by a certain kind of aura, and although the tenth level has a little bit of aura, it is no longer as extreme as before.
The incomparably keen sense of spirit, clearly aware of the ubiquitous five-element aura in space, has reached a certain balance.
Blue skies, fresh earthy scents, well-growing plants, and colorful flowers
What catches the eye is a huge "garden"?
As his consciousness glanced over, Liu Yu suddenly realized that he was actually in a huge "garden".
Except for the one-acre flat land at the foot, 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 on the horizon, making the entire garden look a little eerie.
"and many more."
Sweeping around hastily, turning his attention away from the path, Liu Yuzai looked carefully at the "flowers and plants" on both sides of the path, and his expression was suddenly startled!
Nightmare Flower, Blood Poisonous Thorn, Bloodthirsty Demon Vine
He murmured, and read the names of the monster plants on both sides of the path. Various messages flashed in his mind, and his face gradually became a little ugly.
The bloodthirsty demon vine is an extremely dangerous demon plant in the world of cultivating immortals.
Although it still belongs to the category of plants, it will absorb all the nutrients within the range, including but not limited to the nutrients of the soil, the flesh and blood of humans and monsters.
Once entangled by its vines, the flesh and blood of the whole body will be sucked up quickly.
More importantly, its vitality is extremely tenacious, it is not restrained by fire attacks, and it does not have the weakness of ordinary plants.
The defensive power of the first-level bloodthirsty demon vine can resist the attacks of most magical weapons. Once it grows to the second-level, it will be difficult for spiritual weapons to effectively damage it.
The bloodthirsty demon vine of the third rank, even the magic weapon is difficult to pose a threat to this vine.
And the bead in front of Liu Yu, although I don't know the reason, only occupies a radius of two miles, but judging from the color of its vines and the breath it emits, it is obviously beyond the third-order category.
The flower of nightmare, the pollen sprayed can directly attack the primordial spirit, causing the primordial spirit to fall into a dream, and sink into the dream without knowing it.
Even a Jindan cultivator can hardly resist this kind of attack.
Blood poisonous thorns, the poisonous thorns it shoots, not only have amazing power, but also have extraordinary toxicity that makes even high-level monks dread.
In Liu Yu's sight, there are notorious monster plants, which are often tens of feet in size.
Obviously, they have grown to a mature stage and can pose a threat to Jindan Nascent Soul monks.
In comparison, even if he entered the real state, he would look a little small, let alone in a normal state.
Even with Liu Yu's erudition, he only recognizes some of the monster plants in the "garden", and knows their dangers and characteristics, most of them have never heard of them.
But if you think about it with your feet, you can know that it is definitely not a good thing to be able to stand side by side with the notorious Yao Zhi and not be squeezed out of his living space.
"Before, weren't you a little reckless?"
In the spiritual sense, there was a strong sense of crisis, Liu Yu didn't dare to act rashly for a while, and this thought flashed in his mind.
Perhaps accepting as soon as it is good is the right choice?
In the current crisis, even with his decisiveness, he still dare not take a step.
I can't help but start to look at myself, have I been a little too arrogant recently?
……
While observing carefully, the time passed by every minute and every second, and the sky gradually became darker and darker.
"rustle"
The breeze blows, and there are subtle sounds among the strangely shaped and colorful flowers and plants.
In Liu Yu's spiritual perception, these "flowers and plants" seem to have life, and they are silently peeping at him at this time.
Once he makes a mistake, he will surge up and devour himself!
Although there was no change for the time being, as time went by, the sense of crisis in the spiritual sense became stronger and stronger.
If you do nothing, nothing bad will happen after a while!
"It seems that this is the only way out."
Standing in the "garden", Liu Yu smiled wryly.
Although the sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and he was surrounded by demon plants that could endanger his life, he still forcibly calmed down his ups and downs.
After taking a few deep breaths, Xinhu finally returned to calm.
Continuing to observe, Liu Yu quickly discovered some mysteries here.
No matter how vicious Yao Zhi was, no matter how huge his body was, he never touched the trail.
Not only its body, but even the branches and leaves of the vines did not step into the trail at all.
There seems to be a sharp boundary separating the garden from the path, the two are clearly incompatible, even the most dangerous Yaozhi dare not cross this boundary.
Once crossed, there will be some kind of punishment.
Liu Yu took a closer look and found that although there was a thick layer of yellowing branches and leaves on the path, there was not even a single living plant.
"Is there a way out?"
After staring at it for a long time, he seemed to realize something.
It seems that the customs clearance condition of 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 "Ziwei's Mansion"?"
Liu Yu flashed this thought and felt that there was such a possibility.
Xingjun only has the power of transforming gods for a short time under the blessing of the "Zhoutian Star Map", but after all, he is not a real transforming god, and he is still very far away from the realm of great power.
It is already very remarkable to be able to transform the first nine layers of caves, but that is almost the end of it.
"Staying here all the time is not an option."
"It seems that we can only continue to move forward."
"However, these monster plants seem to have certain restrictions, and they cannot directly violate this trail."
"In this way, there is a chance to pass."
Frowning tightly, Liu Yu, who had completely calmed down, began to think carefully.
If the cultivation base is not enough to transform the gods, there is no ability to tear the space and leave the secret realm, and the cultivation base is not below the Nascent Soul realm, nor can he abandon the body and use the Nascent Soul teleportation.
So there seemed to be only one choice left before him.
That is, no matter how dangerous it is, we must bite the bullet and move forward, walk through this thorny road, and obtain the fruits of victory!
Once a decision was made, Liu Yu stopped procrastinating, and quickly came to the trail and started all kinds of tests.
Throwing various items, causing great movement, testing the possible dangers on the road, and the reaction of the demon plants on both sides.
But maybe the magic treasures, talismans, etc. are all dead objects, and all kinds of demon plants with conspicuous colors, without exception, have no reaction at all.
"It's a pity that I didn't bring Xiaoqing with me, otherwise I can let this guy explore the way."
After some probing, Liu Yu gained some confidence, but he still had some regrets.
If there is a living being exploring the way, let him observe and observe Yaozhi's reaction on both sides of the road, and the next response will be much easier.
Shaking his head, seeing that the sky was getting darker, Liu Yu gently raised his right foot and tentatively stepped towards the path.
"Click"
The branches were broken, the leaves were low, and the road covered with a thick layer of branches and leaves was directly pressed out a deep footprint.
It is said to be a "trail", but in fact it is about two feet wide from left to right.
At the moment when Liu Yu's right foot landed, the tranquil and peaceful atmosphere of the garden suddenly changed!
In the garden, fierce and terrifying breaths revived one after another!
The dark red demon vines that seemed to be soaked in blood began to slowly spread towards Liu Yu, and hundreds of extremely thick vines began to swing erratically.
The dark blue thorns moved unobtrusively, and the colorful flowers also moved automatically without wind.
With one foot down, the countless demon plants in the garden seemed to have life, and they seemed to come alive at this moment!
"Hi~!"
A strong sense of crisis hit, Liu Yu withdrew his right foot like lightning, and couldn't help but gasp.
Faced with these, Yaozhi, who could even threaten Yuanying Zhenjun, even he felt a little cold in his heart.
After all, Yaozhi's vitality is tenacious, and with the sword of ruin, it may be possible to destroy a few plants.
But on this winding path, there are more than a few demon plants? !
"Sloppy."
Looking at Yaozhi's reactions around him, Liu Yu smiled wryly.
Under the bright colors, deadly murderous intentions are hidden in it!
This initial land seems to be able to shield their senses. When Yaozhi retracted his right foot, he lost his target, and the movement gradually subsided.
Looking at Yaozhi, which is tens of feet tall, Liu Yu once again felt his insignificance.
But staying where they were was only a dead end, so after a few quick rounds of probing and recalling their information, he resolutely set foot on the path.
"tread"
"Swish"
One foot landed on the path, and felt the breath of life. The surrounding tens of feet, the brightly colored and strangely shaped demon plants seemed to come alive again.
Countless horrific auras immediately permeated the entire space, making Zhenjun Yuanying fearful.
After confirming that there was no mechanism on the trail, Liu Yu took a deep breath, concentrated his mind like never before, and quickly stepped over with the other foot.
Since there is no retreat, the only way forward is to move forward!
"Whoa~"
The extremely thick cyan thorns sprayed out dozens of sharp thorns immediately, and there were bursts of piercing sounds.
Each spike is as thick as an adult's arm, with extremely strong penetrating power, and its power is comparable to a third-level mid-level spell.
In the face of dozens of green spikes whose power is comparable to that of the third-level mid-level spells, Liu Yu naturally dare not underestimate them.
The storage ring had a flash of inspiration, and a purple lotus flower that flowed with inspiration instantly floated above his head.
A series of more than a dozen magic tricks were played, injected with vigorous and pure mana, and pieces of purple aura fell from the treasure to form a light curtain.
This is the top magic weapon "Purple Youlian" obtained from Dao Yi Shengzi.
"Ding Ding Ding ~"
In the next instant, dense roars sounded.
In a very short period of time, cyan spikes landed on the purple light curtain, causing ripples one after another.
The attack of blood poisonous thorns, even with Liu Yu's current state of mind, it would be quite difficult to resist Ziyoulian.
The mana slanted out like water breaking a bank, and it won't last long if it goes on like this!
What was even more uncomfortable was that his spiritual consciousness was suppressed in the garden. Even with his current spiritual consciousness, it could only spread for about six or seven miles.
"Can't stop!"
Liu Yu knew this very well, so when he set foot on the path, he walked like flying against the blue spikes that shot down from the sky.
In half a breath, he ran fifty feet.
In front, the dark red bloodthirsty demon vines swelled slightly, and wisps of dark red mist filled the air, forming a red mist to block the way ahead.
According to the data, this red mist contains extraordinary toxicity, which can even corrode the body of a demon cultivator, and it also has a little psychedelic effect.
Although Xingchen Avatar is tyrannical, but Liu Yu has only cultivated to the late stage of the third level, and he is not arrogant enough to surpass the transformation demon cultivator, so naturally he dare not try it at this time.
Moreover, its psychedelic effects are quite deadly.
If you accidentally lose your way in it, walk out of the scope of the "safety trail" and face the notorious demon plants, you may even fall here!
"tread"
But for this method, Liu Yu had a plan in mind, and his footsteps stopped suddenly.
"puff"
With a swipe of the left palm, a cyan flame emerged, and immediately the flame exploded and flew forward.
“Zizzizi~”
The power of the third-grade Qingyang Demon Fire was stimulated to the maximum extent, and the dark red mist that could corrode the body of a demon cultivator retreated quickly under the blue flame.
The cyan flame spread past, and the path about two feet wide appeared in sight again.
"Ding Ding Ding ~"
After dozens of cyan spikes fell, dozens of branches of blood poisonous thorns rolled, and more spikes shot through the air.
Looking around, the tyrannical power fluctuates around the trail, and more than 100 cyan spikes are like a rain of arrows. In Liu Yu's feeling, there is a feeling of overwhelming mountains and seas!
This kind of power is not inferior to many fourth-order spells!
Liu Yu's face was solemn, the more critical the situation was, the calmer he became in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, he took out several third-order top-quality talismans to activate, and turned them into a series of third-order top-quality spells to meet the "rain of thorns".
He opened his mouth and spit out the magic weapon of his life, the sunset golden rainbow spear, and the mana for refining qi and body entered and exited without reservation, which made the power of this spear be activated to the extreme, shining a bright golden-red aura.
Turning the head of the gun, it swept out to the left, shooting out 36 extremely condensed gun lights in an instant.
Although the number is not as exaggerated as the blood poisonous thorn mature body, the power of each ray of spear light is comparable to a third-level middle-grade spell.
"bang bang bang"
The magic weapon and talisman came out one after another, and finally wiped out most of the densely packed cyan spikes, and the remaining half fell on the cyan light curtain inspired by the "Purple Youlian", which was successfully resisted.
After calculation and preparation in advance, Liu Yu finally withstood this round of attacks!
Taking advantage of this gap, he raced against time with vigorous strides, and every time he fell, he was ten feet away, and he didn't dare to stay in place for a moment.
"tread"
After falling for the ninth time, there was a sharp pain in the spiritual sense, and an extremely strong sense of crisis appeared in Liu Yu's heart.
In the vision of spiritual consciousness, patches of pink and charming pollen are floating towards me from all directions.
The golden core monks felt the terrifying power fluctuations, and they couldn't let the pink pollen stop 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 the eyebrows, condensed and compressed in a special way, and his eyes flashed with dreamlike colors in an instant.
Dream Spring and Autumn!
Strands of blue "water waves", with Liu Yu as the center, quickly spread to the surroundings.
"Whoo~"
At the level of consciousness, it seems that a hurricane has blown by.
Driven by the blue water waves, countless absent pink pollen were finally blown away, and the crisis was temporarily lifted.
"Nightmare Flower"
Liu Yu understood that this was an attack by this flower.
Once too much pollen is inhaled, even Yuanying Zhenjun will fall into a dream and fall silently, but no scars can be found on the body.
"Fortunately, there was no accident. Yaozhi can't directly set foot on this trail, so he can only use Duduankong attack."
"Otherwise, even if I have a lot of means, I'm afraid there will only be a dead end!"
During the speedy flyby, Liu Yu flashed this thought.
Yaozhi is somewhat similar to low-level monsters. Once they can't give full play to the advantages of their body and monster body, their strength will be greatly reduced.
And this is where his opportunity lies!
But the danger of Yaozhi is far more than that, and its weird and unpredictable methods are also one of the biggest sources of danger.
The reason why the previous part of the journey went smoothly was only because of those Yaozhi's methods, Liu Yu knew better and prepared a countermeasure in advance, so he was able to resolve it without any danger.
In the following journey, there are many monster plants that have never been heard of. Who knows what kind of attack method they have?
Therefore, Liu Yu must concentrate all his energy on facing it!
"shhhhh"
"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.
On the black spiritual material stone, densely packed runes are engraved, even after hundreds of thousands of years of erosion, it still tenaciously shines with spiritual light.
The top magic weapon, the purple lotus, is suspended above the head, and the three-sided protective flame shield surrounds the whole body, and the blue aura on the body surface shines all the time.
Liu Yu set up a triple defense, holding the sunset golden rainbow gun that was pushed to the extreme, and marched forward against the attack of tens of feet of huge monster plants.
Even though the strength of these strange monsters cannot be fully exerted due to restrictions, he must still concentrate all his energy.
Otherwise, in the next moment, he might have been tricked by some method, and lost his life in a daze.
At every moment, a strong sense of crisis enveloped my heart.
"Fortunately, this road is only about ten miles away."
"Otherwise, with this level of attack, mana is consumed like running water, and I can't last 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 body size has skyrocketed to more than eight feet again.
A ray of mind was placed on the broken sword, and he had already communicated with the sword spirit.
If you encounter Yao Zhi who is difficult to deal with, or if the situation is slightly wrong, you will immediately sacrifice Lingbao to solve the immediate difficulties first.
"Whizzing"
After entering the real body state on the way, Liu Yu jumped more than 20 feet, and his speed was greatly improved.
But the attacks to be faced have also increased exponentially.
The spear in his hand left afterimages around his body, and his natal supernatural power "Wither" has also been sacrificed, using different methods at every moment to deal with attacks from all directions.
Even in the real state, it still looks a little small.
On both sides of the road, the auras of many terrifying monsters are far stronger than him!
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Liu Yu's heart moved, and his spiritual sense detected a subtle spatial fluctuation.
In the next moment, a spiritual pressure far surpassing that of ordinary golden elixir suddenly appeared in the initial place behind him.
"This kind of breath pressure. It 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 consciousness, he found that there was already a figure of a monk on the flat ground of the original land.
