Chapter 158: Shen·Vine·Tentacles·Tian
Boom, boom, boom!
The Spirit Iron Balls shot toward that stone, instantly smashing it into pieces. The remaining densely concentrated bullets shot toward that patch of ground, deeply etching into the ground.
Of course, the sword spirit attack’s destructive power from the Sword Master Token was much more powerful.
Currently, the Sword Master Token had already absorbed enough Spirit Stones and was able to unleash its strongest attack. The Sword Master Token had directly consumed almost 5,000 Spirit Stones this time, so its attacking power was simply extraordinary!
Even if it were a weaker Nascent Soul Supremacy, one would be in extreme panic facing the sword spirit’s slash as they might get injured seriously and be on the verge of dying.
When that endless sword aura landed on the ground, it had plowed that whole place from top to bottom completely. In an instant, only dust and smoke, which filled the air, could be seen.
“Black Tortoise Armor, fusion. Black Tortoise Shield, activate!”
Shen Tian was armed to the teeth once again before carefully heading toward that direction. “Jiu’er, is there any more resentment?”
Jiu’er’s voice echoed. “I can’t sense clearly, It seems like the resentment has faded or escaped.”
Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. He came to where the Divine Devouring Vine was originally at and blew the smoke and dust away.
He saw a huge hole in that place as it was bombarded by his attacks just now. In the center of the hole was a tiny vine. However, that tiny vine was already full of injuries, and milky white juice was flowing out of it.
The milky white juice was emitting a rich pleasant fragrance that made the desire within Shen Tian increase even more.
Shen Tian carefully controlled the floating Lotus Shooting Gun to poke that tiny vine, ensuring that there were no movements anymore.
Only then did he relax and take that tiny vine into his hands. “Just why did you choose to come back?”
Frankly speaking, there was no grudge between Shen Tian and Lu Ji as from her point of view, she was not wrong.
However, the discussion of right or wrong in the cultivation world was no use as Lu Ji was a demon, one that ate people.
Shen Tian did not know if this tiny vine was her, reincarnating through Nirvana, or the descendant that she had created. Nonetheless, now that Shen Tian had unintentionally barged into the mountain valley, there was karma between them. Thus, he was left with only one choice—end the karmic cycle as soon as possible.
If he could not end the karmic cycle, then he should end the Divine Devouring Vine.
Since those who are not our kin are sure to be of a different heart, I will risk my life!
Although the vine was emitting a pleasant scent, Shen Tian was still hesitating whether to eat it or not. It did indeed look quite delicious, and the Tinder Sutra‘s energy was also desiring this vine extremely much so. Most importantly, Shen Tian had drunk a large amount of the Divine Binding Vine’s juices previously, and they did not seem to be poisonous at all. Thus, the vines of the Divine Devouring Vine should be harmless!
At that thought, Shen Tian decided to try a little bit first. If he was alright, then he would eat more.
He gently swiped a small drop of the milky white liquid from the Divine Devouring Vine’s wound and drank it.
Hmm... It’s sour and sweet. There’s also a light taste of milk, very similar to the Nutri-Express Yogurt Drink’s vanilla taste.
More importantly, as the drop of milky white juice was swallowed, a surge of energy exploded within Shen Tian. It was the Spirit Qi energy that belonged to the Wood attribute. It contained extremely rich and pure vitality that made him feel comfortable throughout.
Although Shen Tian could still cultivate, he had suffered Qi Deviation 88 times, so some internal injuries still remained. Actually, Shen Tian’s body and dantian had different degrees of internal injuries. Such internal injuries were extremely troublesome and difficult to be healed.
However, after drinking that drop of vine juice, Shen Tian could feel that these internal injuries were healing.
The vine juice was like the essence of life energy that surged through every acupoint in his body. Wherever that energy passed, all the internal injuries would gradually heal. It’s just the amount was too little, so it was not enough.
Shen Tian sensed it in detail for a long time and realized that, indeed, this type of juice was harmless and beneficial. Therefore, he took a deep breath and started devouring the vines of the Divine Devouring Vine carefully.
One had to say, the taste of the miniature Divine Devouring Vine was much more delicious than the Divine Binding Vines.
After bitting the vine gently, the sweet and fragrant milky white juice filled his mouth. Immediately after, an abundance of energy surged throughout his body—it was astoundingly nourishing.
In that instant, Shen Tian felt like he was in paradise!
Soon, Shen Tian completely devoured the Divine Devouring Vine. He checked carefully and discovered that there were no adverse effects in his body. On the contrary, Shen Tian felt that his body was unprecedentedly comfortable and light—there was no discomfort anymore.
Also, he could vaguely feel that after the energy passed through his whole body, it gathered toward his liver area, as if going to gush out!
Such a feeling was similar to when Shen Tian had devoured the First Essence Heavy Water but much gentler.
Shen Tian finally put his heart at rest and sat crossed-legged in the mountain valley, taking out the previous vines. Subsequently, he took a few spirit fruit platters and fresh meat of demon beasts out of his Archeon Sea Ring.
After taking out the stone box, he opened the cover and revealed the Nan Ming Li Fire’s Origin within. Then, he carefully roasted the beast meat. As he controlled the distance of the fire and adjusted it to the correct temperature, drops of golden grease permeated from the surface of the beast meat very quickly.
Shen Tian then scattered seasonings, such as cumin and chili powder, onto the meat. Instantly, a rich fragrance of meat appeared.
Afterward, he attached First Essence Heavy Water onto his Jade Water Sword and sliced open the spirit fruits and vines. Plates of exquisite fruits and vegetables appeared in front of Shen Tian, and they looked mouth-watering.
With meat, vegetables, and fruits, this was what a high-end cuisine was!
Shen Tian then took a table out of his Archeon Sea Ring and placed all the food onto it.
Honestly, Shen Tian was tired, as too many things had happened. Therefore, next was the moment of enjoying the fruits of his victory.
After a bite of meat, he took a bite of fruits and vines. He occasionally used the Nascent Soul Divine Binding Vines to make some fruit juice.
One had to say this was a grand feast. If other people in the cultivation world were to see this sight, their jaws would drop from astonishment as those were Divine Binding Vines. Others who had painstakingly found one would take the utmost care to refine those Divine Binding Vine into Dharma artifacts!
Even if they were to eat the Divine Binding Vines, they would combine the Divine Binding Vines with all kinds of rare treasures and make a supreme-grade pill.
Yet, Shen Tian was just directly eating them, like they were sweet potatoes, or even making them into juice to directly drink. It was simply too wasteful. Even Supremacies’ heart would bleed at such an action!
...
Shen Tian felt that the energy stored within his body reached a maximum after devouring all the Divine Devouring Vines. The extremely pure energy surged toward his liver area, exploding into all directions with his liver as the epicenter.
In that instant, a radiant emerald vine shot out of Shen Tian’s right wrist toward the ground.
Boom!
A small clear hole appeared on the ground as the vine had pierced deeply into the ground like a spear.
Shen Tian could feel that his casual strike just now could be compared to that of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Also, that was just an unintentional attack, not one with his full strength.
He could confirm that the energy within him was extremely obedient, and he could use it like his own arm.
Shen Tian started carefully exploring the ways to use the energy and quickly gained some insight. He took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand, and the emerald vine suddenly shot out, as if it was a whip. Its surface was covered in a layer of silvery-white light that belonged to the luster of the First Essence Heavy Water.
Water nourishes Wood...
In that instant, the Divine Devouring Vine seemed to become even tougher, like a whip and a spear!
He swung it toward the ground, and the whole ground trembled. Even Shen Tian felt shocked and puzzled due to his power. That was because he felt that such a normal strike could even... heavily injure or kill a Golden Core Perfected One!
