The Sword God of the Universe

Chapter 1851: Chapter 1851: The Terrifying Vine

Ye Hai felt truly bitter.

Within the borders of Laning Country, he, Ye Hai, was also a top-notch Fifth-step Taoist Realm being. He had always felt a sense of pride. But today, he felt truly defeated.

Why did each of these people seem more formidable than the last? How exactly did they cultivate to such a level?

Upon hearing Ye Hai’s words, Jing Yan smiled and said, ”Compared to Daoist Die Dong, my strength is still far off.”

Die Dong glanced at Jing Yan again, not saying anything out loud, but internally thinking, when you step into the Dao Method Realm, you probably won’t be much different from me.

After Jing Yan used the Hongmeng Dao Pattern and other techniques, the destruction speed of the Divine Rune Tree obviously accelerated a bit. The three of them spent a day and a half destroying this Divine Rune Tree. As soon as this Divine Rune Tree collapsed, a cold halo enveloped the three of them. In an instant, the three disappeared from their original location.

When they reappeared, they had entered the second layer of the Ruins.

”The second layer!” Die Dong’s eyes were burning with passion.

They had entered the second layer of the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins! The treasures here were astonishingly valuable, each worth at least over a hundred thousand Star Stones. As long as luck wasn’t too bad, getting two or three treasures each worth tens of thousands of Star Stones would be normal. If luck was good, they might even obtain priceless treasures valued at millions or tens of millions of Star Stones.

Die Dong had spent an enormous price to enter the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins.

”Quickly search for treasures!”

”Split up! Remember, should either of you find a Divine Rune Tree, you must immediately inform me! I am the employer, you are merely hired hands, the treasures here have nothing to do with you. If I find out you secretly want to take possession of the treasures here, don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Die Dong’s eyes were cold, and his voice was low as he spoke to the two of them.

”Void Son, rest assured, I will absolutely not take anything from here. I just need to return to the Slaughter God Temple to receive the Slaughter Points reward.” Ye Hai hurriedly said.

”That’s right. If I get good things, after returning to the Slaughter God Temple, I certainly won’t be stingy with some Slaughter Points.” Die Dong smiled slightly.

”Let’s move!” Die Dong waved his hand.

The three of them split up to search for Divine Rune Trees on the second layer. Where there is a Divine Rune Tree, there are treasures.

So far, three days had passed since the three entered the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins. According to the rules here, they could remain for less than four and a half more days.

On the third day after entering the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins, they discovered a second-layer Divine Rune Tree, and it took a day to destroy it. Die Dong obtained a plant fruit worth over a hundred thousand Star Stones, which made his previously livid face look slightly better.

On the fifth day, Die Dong obtained another Crystal Ball. Inside this Crystal Ball, there was a stored Chaos Level Secret Skill.

A Chaos Level Secret Skill is the level of the Hongmeng Dao Pattern. Of course, the Hongmeng Dao Pattern is the top-tier Chaos Secret Technique, the Palace Secret Method of Hongjun Heavenly Palace. What Die Dong got was relatively ordinary, but its value would definitely not be less than five hundred thousand Star Stones.

This secret skill brought a smile to Die Dong’s face.

This trip to the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins was quite profitable. He himself did not need to cultivate this secret skill, but if he resold it, it would fetch tens of thousands of Star Stones. Many All Things Realm Beings’ net worth is only tens of thousands of Star Stones.

Like Yuan Qi, the Country Master of Laning Country, his entire personal worth probably does not even reach one million Star Stones. Of course, this doesn’t include some of his most precious weapons and resources.

”Keep searching!”

”Quick, time is running out. Before leaving, we can still obtain another treasure from here.”

On the sixth day, another Divine Rune Tree was discovered. Without any unnecessary words, the three gathered and began to frantically attack this Divine Rune Tree. After a day of destruction, this Divine Rune Tree was about to be destroyed.

”Whoosh!”

At this moment, a sudden mutation occurred.

A black shadow suddenly appeared without any warning. Even Jing Yan and Die Dong did not sense it in advance.

The three of them were startled by this black shadow.

”Splash!” The black shadow fiercely swooped down.

”Damn it!” Die Dong cursed and quickly dodged.

Jing Yan and Ye Hai also retreated.

What is this thing? Could there be some sort of life existing within the Ancient Tree Elder Ruins?

”This... seems to be a vine!” Jing Yan focused his gaze, staring at the black shadow.

This black shadow was slender, at least several hundred meters long. It was not very clear, but it felt like some sort of vine.

”Could there be plant life in these ruins?”

This was indeed highly possible.

It should be known that the life forms of the Primordial Chaos Ancient Tree Space exist solely to guard the Primordial Chaos Tree. They could all be considered semi-plant life forms. Like the Ancient Tree Elder, they are such beings. So, plant life existing in the ruins left by the Ancient Tree Elder is very reasonable.

”Damn it, why is this thing always targeting me?” Jing Yan quickly felt something was amiss.

Because there were three of them in total. All three had successfully dodged the first vine attack. But afterward, the vine continued to target only Jing Yan. The other two were nearby, but the vine seemed to ignore them.

Jing Yan dodged several times, yet the vine kept chasing him.

”What’s going on?”

”I’m just a hired hand! Damn it! Damn it! If you want to target someone, it should be Die Dong.” Jing Yan was speechless.

This vine was extremely fast and terrifyingly powerful. Jing Yan tried attacking with the Colorful Cloud Sword, but even his strongest force couldn’t directly cut through the vine.

If he were to be bound, it would definitely be a bad ending.

Die Dong and Ye Hai noticed it too. This vine had attacked Jing Yan more than ten times but hadn’t attacked them once.

Die Dong’s eyes darted back to the Divine Rune Tree that was about to collapse.

”Break it!” Jing Yan shouted explosively.

He continuously employed the Ultimate Nihility to dodge the vine, but gradually, he was still ensnared by it. Now, he was entirely shrouded by the vine. A vast Divine Power gathered around Jing Yan’s body, fully unleashing the power of the Shadow World, as Jing Yan attempted to break the vine’s restraint.

Under the intense force of tearing, the vine indeed was pried open a bit. However, Jing Yan still couldn’t break free from it.

Soon, Jing Yan felt a terrifying pulling force emanating from the vine. Even his physical body’s strength couldn’t withstand it.

”Void Son! Lord Jing Yan is trapped, we... we have to save him quickly!” Ye Hai, seeing Jing Yan caught, nervously said to Die Dong.

”Humph! Let’s continue attacking the Divine Rune Tree. Quickly, it’s almost destroyed!” Die Dong said.
