Chapter 155 Endless Demonic Plants, Demonized Body

After traveling only a few dozen miles, Su You stopped and looked around with a serious expression.

Dangerous!Dangerous!Dangerous!
His innate talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune was a constant reminder to him!
No matter which direction you step in, there are signs of danger.

"What exactly is that?" Su You's mental energy swept outwards like a surging tide.

but!

The surrounding scenery remained peaceful and serene.

Grassland, gentle breeze, woods, and perfect sunshine, warmly bathing you in its warmth.

"What the hell is this? Show yourself!" Su You roared, his voice like the roar of thousands of dragons.

The sound waves surged outwards in concentric circles.

As the sound gradually subsided, Su You noticed something strange, and his eyes narrowed.

"These trees, flowers, and grass..."

His roar just now created a powerful shockwave that should have destroyed the surrounding vegetation, but it only shook a few times and stubbornly remained rooted in the earth.

It was hidden so well that he didn't detect it at all during his first mental probe.

Moreover, this was not an illusion; illusions cannot fool him.

Slurp slurp...

Before Su You could make any other move, countless weeds seemed to have changed form and attacked him. They were covered with sharp barbs, and more importantly, their shape had been completely distorted, making them undetectable when they were hidden.

Now, he could already feel the terrifying demonic energy surging up above.

Not only these weeds, but also the forest and everything else were surrounded by overwhelming demonic energy.

The quality of this demonic energy is extremely high. Su You has only ever seen demonic energy of this quality in the central region of the Qingzhou Demon Realm.

"Demonic contamination? What kind of power could possibly contaminate these ordinary plants to this level?" Su You stretched out his hands, and colorless flames suddenly spread, igniting the demonic plants that attacked him.

Ordinary flames have little effect on these demonically tainted plants, but he is using a supernatural fire, the Three Elements Fire.

Once ignited, it will burn everything, even demonic energy, extinguishing it at its source.

Unfortunately, the magically dyed plants here are almost endless.

Aside from the weeds, the demonized plants displayed all sorts of bizarre abilities.

Some spewed out streams of acid, while others opened their enormous mouths, as if trying to swallow Su You whole.

It's fair to say that this place is now a scene of utter chaos.

Su You took a deep breath, soared into the sky, and then plummeted downwards!
All the power in his body was poured into the earth.

Boom!

Within a radius of ten miles, all the demon-infected plants turned to ashes as the land sank.

After burying a Dream Butterfly Mirror here, Su You rushed into the depths of the secret realm without looking back.

Endless demon-infected plants lashed at his body, and even his fourth-level body, refined to the fourth level, became a bloody mess under the repeated blows.

More importantly, it's not the damage to the physical body, but the pollution of the spirit that follows the invasion of demonic energy into the body—that's the most terrifying thing.

Su You could not withstand the force of the journey of ten thousand miles.

The Mirage Realm!

The extreme environment triggered the other party's talent for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. On a whim, Su You immediately transformed his talent, borrowing a portion of the Mirage Realm's talent.

An invisible world surrounded his sea of ​​consciousness. The demonic energy that had invaded him could only break through the world surrounding his sea of ​​consciousness first.

This allowed him to persevere for another thousands of miles.

However, this is the limit.

Su You's physical body has limited self-healing ability. Apart from the magic weapon Dream Butterfly Mirror, he did not carry any other magic weapons or pills. He relied entirely on his own strength to break through to this position.

He finally understood why the mortality rate in the secret realm was so high.

These endless demon-infected plants are almost all of the third and fourth tiers. What Nascent Soul cultivator could withstand them?

Even though they possessed more magical treasures, talismans, and pills than Su You, they still managed to rush into the core area.

Click!

A cracking sound rang out.

Su You's physical body was too weak to withstand the relentless attacks and was torn to pieces.

In the next instant, the shattered body came back together and was restored to its original state.

The only difference was that his physical aura had decreased significantly, dropping directly to the third rank.

This triggered the Heavenly Silkworm's immortal talent, causing it to revive.

That's right!

This time, Su You did not choose to return. Instead, he activated the Heavenly Silkworm's immortal talent and continued to charge into the interior after being resurrected.

Upon resurrection, he instantly activated the magic stored in the miniature magic network within his body.

Because of this exploration, he specifically replaced all the witchcraft in the witch network with defensive witchcraft.

It can be used instantly now, and its power is bestowed upon the physical body.

With over a dozen defensive spells applied, Su You continued to use magic and sorcery to enhance his defenses as he charged deeper into the interior.

Unfortunately, this time they only traveled two thousand miles before all the surrounding defenses were shattered, and their bodies were instantly torn apart.

Now, the resurrected physical body has been significantly weakened, making it extremely vulnerable in such a harsh environment.

He was struck a few times and died on the spot.

Revive, fall, be reborn, fall again.

Finally, when Su You's physical cultivation level dropped to the first rank and he was reborn, he transformed into a giant silkworm cocoon.

This cocoon can be said to be his strongest defensive measure, and its defensive power is ten times that of his peak period.

The silkworm cocoon transformed into a streak of light, tumbling rapidly across the grass.

There is no way!

For some unknown reason, flying is not possible in the entire secret realm; otherwise, entering the core area would not be so difficult.

The silkworm cocoons, which were ten times larger, were indeed extraordinary. Attacks that had previously caused great damage to Su You's body were now negligible when they struck him, like a gentle spring breeze.

They continued their journey for another 50,000 miles, and the power of the demon-infected plants inside grew stronger and stronger.

Even though he is currently in cocoon form, his defense has increased tenfold, making him comparable to those peak fourth-tier body-refining cultivators.

But that's where they can stop. There are quite a few fourth-tier peak body refiners who have entered this secret realm, and even some who cultivate both body and magic. All of them have reached the peak of the fourth tier and possess powerful magic treasures, talismans, pills, and other resources that are better than Su You's. None of them have been able to retrieve their items, let alone Su You in his current state.

The inheritance forcefully pushed through a distance of ten thousand miles, piercing the cocoon and instantly annihilating the fragile flesh inside.

Only a barely visible, dim mirror remains on the earth.

……

"It really is difficult! The seeds of the second-generation Heavenly Vine are indeed not that good." Su You shook his head.

If he didn't have the ability to resurrect, he certainly wouldn't have taken such a risk.

Even if, as Green Yao said, one cultivates both body and magic to the peak of the fourth rank, and possesses powerful defensive magic treasures, talismans, and pills, how far can one still advance?

After all, once the treasure is found, it needs to be brought back, and to bring it back, we need to return to the place where we first entered in order to have the chance to leave.

No wonder, only a small percentage of people manage to leave alive.

After all, once caught in endless attacks, unless those with exceptionally strong abilities can decisively extricate themselves, those with weaker abilities will likely be entangled here and unable to escape, naturally increasing the probability of casualties.

This resurrection is different from the previous ones. Su You needs to choose the point of resurrection. After all, when he died, his physical cultivation level had dropped to the bottom, so it was impossible for him to be resurrected with the cultivation level before his death.

Fortunately, the Gemini Mark records his changes every moment, with many key moments, so he naturally chooses to revive when he is at his strongest.

After being resurrected, Su You returned to the Tongtian Vine World and, with the help of the Dream Butterfly Mirror, was teleported to a sub-mirror in the secret realm.

A moment later, he disappeared from the spot.

"Phew, it worked!" Su You smiled as he looked at the demonic plants sweeping in from all directions.

Although his physical body disintegrated for a moment, the fact that he was able to re-enter this place shows that his previous plan was successful.

This is all thanks to the powerful magic weapon, the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

After all, this is a ninth-tier magic weapon, possessing many incredible abilities.

Su You guessed that even in the world of the Heavenly Vine, there might not be any ninth-order magic treasures.

After all, the Tongtian Vine World is not a Great Thousand World. Although it is the pinnacle of the Middle Thousand Worlds, with abundant spiritual energy, it can only support cultivators at the Integration Realm at most.

It is practically impossible for a powerful being at the Mahayana or even Tribulation Transcending realm to appear in the Middle Thousand Worlds.

After all, even this Heavenly Vine itself should not have reached the ninth level.

A ninth-tier magic weapon is equivalent to a powerful expert at the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Under the attack of countless demonic plants, his physical body disintegrated one after another, quickly turning into a white cocoon.

After transforming into a cocoon, Su You was finally able to withstand the attacks.

He picked up the Dream Butterfly Mirror from the ground and continued to advance quickly, using witchcraft and magic to enhance his defenses and allow him to go deeper into the area.

We traveled along the way, stopping and starting, facing life and death along the way.

During that time, they also encountered the remains of those who had entered the path of cultivation.

Unfortunately, when their storage rings were opened, they were almost completely empty. The talismans and pills had long been exhausted, and the magical artifacts had been destroyed.

After all, those who enter such a place of certain death have already made preparations, leaving all their wealth outside.

Moreover, Su You no longer cares about this wealth. After all, these cultivators are only at the Nascent Soul stage, and their wealth is limited. Compared to him, it's just a drop in the ocean.

After five detours and returns, Su You finally arrived at the location of this mission objective.

He wanted to take something from the other person. It was a treasure used by the Green Vine Clan to seal the strangeness of this secret realm. The Green Vine Clan had sent their ancestors to venture into it, hoping to seal the strangeness within, but they perished before they could get close. The treasure used to seal it was also lost in the secret realm.

Fortunately, this thing cannot be destroyed, so even if it is left in the secret realm, there is no need to worry about it being damaged.

However, the Green Ivy Clan still tried their best to send people to collect it.

They themselves dared not send anyone in. Back then, they sent a powerful expert at the Refinement of Void realm to enter. Even though he was suppressed upon entering, his strength was equivalent to that of a fifth-tier expert, which was the maximum limit that the secret realm could bear.

They thought they could successfully seal away the strange creature inside, but unexpectedly, they still perished inside.

This is why they pay high prices to lure others in.

As for why not enter in a team, it doesn't really matter. The magical plants inside are endless, and entering in a team would only slow down the journey more easily.

As for gradually clearing out the demonic plants within the secret realm, that's even more pointless.

If the source of the strangeness within the secret realm is not sealed, even if it is cleared, a new batch will immediately grow back.

This thing is like a weed; it can't be eradicated.

Looking at the storage ring so close to him, Su You felt a surge of excitement.

Before he could even be happy for long...

A massive, dark green hand descended upon him, crushing the silkworm cocoon to dust.

When Su You came to his senses, he realized that he had died again.

"What happened?" Su You closed his eyes, replaying the scene before his death in his mind.

After a moment, he sighed, "I didn't expect this to be the hardest part."

He hadn't expected that the Green Vine Clan's corpse would also be corrupted by demons. Although it didn't have much intelligence, he would probably be attacked if he got too close.

Given the opponent's formidable strength, this is far more terrifying than those demonically tainted plants; they simply cannot withstand even a single blow.

Obtaining the storage ring from the other party is extremely difficult.

After all, this storage ring is on its hand. To take it off, one would either have to overpower the opponent or cut off their hand or fingers.

After thinking for a moment, Su You still didn't have a good solution.

This demonized body was already at the fifth rank in strength, and after being demonized, it became even stronger. He currently has no way to sever the opponent's fingers with his strength.

Fifth-tier spirit talisman?

Su You thought for a moment and then shook his head. Fifth-order spirit talismans are extremely rare even in the An Yun Realm, almost impossible to find. While the Tongtian Vine might be available for sale at some point, the price would certainly be exorbitant.

Moreover, even ordinary fifth-tier spirit talismans might not be able to harm this demonized physical body.

Su You had several powerful talismans in his hands. These were high-quality talismans that had been stored for hundreds of thousands of years and had lost their spiritual energy. Now their power was only equivalent to the fifth rank.

But he didn't want to just use it like that.

After all, these talismans are essentially high-level talismans. Even a ninth-level sect like the Dream Butterfly Sect only has a small amount in reserve, which shows how rare they are.

It would be such a waste to use it up like this.

After all, the high-level pills in the treasure vault have now been repaired, so these talismans may also find a way to be restored in the future.

After thinking for a while, Su You couldn't come up with a good solution, so he tried again, but failed once more.
