Su Zimo rode on Big Huang and entered the forest slowly.
Due to the lush foliage of the ancient trees that covered the skies, there was almost no sunlight in the forest and the surroundings were dark and quiet.
The ground was covered with many branches and leaves. Beneath their feet, there were rustling sounds that were extremely clear in the quiet environment.
Big Huang's footsteps slowed down.
For some reason, there was an extremely strange aura in the forest that caused one to feel extremely stifled!
Duan Tianliang followed behind Big Huang with a pale face. He looked around nervously and a thin layer of sweat had already formed on his forehead.
The forest was extremely quiet and there were no living beings or ferocious beasts to be seen.
However, Big Huang and Duan Tianliang felt increasingly uneasy!
"Snap!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from beneath Duan Tianliang's feet. It was extremely ear-piercing in the forest!
Duan Tianliang froze and looked down instinctively.
Beneath his feet, he was actually stepping on a piece of broken white bone!
It was unknown how many years had passed since this white bone appeared to be extremely fragile. With just a light step, it broke into two pieces.
Just Now, the bone was covered by many leaves. Duan Tianliang's attention was focused on his surroundings and he did not notice what was beneath his feet.
"It's fine, it's fine."
Duan Tianliang calmed himself down and forced a smile as he continued walking forward.
However, he had not taken two steps when the sound of bones cracking could be heard beneath his feet once more!
He stepped on another piece of white bone!
Duan Tianliang's expression changed.
"Boss, hold on for a moment."
Duan Tianliang said softly and looked around. Conjuring hand seals and waving his sleeves, a few whirlwinds were formed in the surroundings, blowing the fallen leaves on the ground.
When the fallen leaves floated up, Duan Tianliang and Big Huang were shocked when they saw what was on the ground!
The ground of the forest was filled with white bones that stretched as far as the eye could see!
Psst!
Duan Tianliang gasped.
How dangerous was this place for so many living beings to die here?!
"B-B-Boss, let's retreat."
Duan Tianliang's voice was trembling slightly.
Before he could say anything, Big Yellow could no longer withstand the fear. Even without Su Zimo's order, he had already begun to retreat.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he realized that his path of retreat had been completely sealed off!
Those originally motionless branches seemed to have a life of their own. They were like thick spiritual snakes that intertwined together, sealing off their retreat!
The ancient trees suddenly emitted a bloody aura.
On the surface of the ancient tree, there were faint vein-like patterns that flowed with scarlet blood!
"It's over! My life is over! "
Duan Tianliang looked terrified and disheartened.
The ancient trees in this forest actually relied on devouring living beings to cultivate and grow!
There were all sorts of strange things in the Three Thousand Worlds.
Over the years, this dense forest had devoured countless living creatures and ferocious beasts.
None of the ferocious beasts that were trapped in this place would be able to leave alive. All of them would have their flesh and blood completely devoured!
From the beginning to the end, Su Zimo sat calmly on Big Yellow's back.
His spirit perception was way too strong!
Long before he entered this forest, he had already sensed that there was something strange about it.
The scene before his eyes was within his expectations.
When he saw the many emerald green branches coiling towards Su Zimo, Duan Tianliang and Big Yellow, Su Zimo suddenly spoke.
"It's not easy for the Plant race to cultivate,"
Su Zimo said slowly, "I don't want to destroy your cultivation. Don't make things difficult for me either."
The branches paused for a moment.
Then, these ancient trees actually emitted a feeling of mockery!
Even Big Yellow and Duan Tianliang could sense it!
The next moment, even more branches tore through the air and coiled towards Su Zimo like emerald green venomous snakes!
"Since that's the case, don't blame me."
Su Zimo floated down from Big Yellow's back. Stepping on the ground with both feet, he channeled his blood qi and seemed to have vanished.
Replacing him on the spot was a emerald green Qinglian that soared into the skies. It shone with a resplendent glow that dyed the heavens in a bedazzling manner!
Instantly, the many branches paused and shrunk instinctively, as though they had seen something terrifying.
"Absorb!"
Su Zimo channeled his blood qi and countless roots and branches extended from his feet, burrowing into the ground. They coiled around the ancient trees in the dense forest and absorbed their life essence wildly!
The Qinglian was the only creation in the world and was the god of the Plant race.
Back in Tianhuang Mainland, the experts of the Blood Vine race wanted to devour Su Zimo's bloodline but they were devoured instead.
Those ancient trees were far from being as strong as the Blood Vine race!
That was essence stealing!
In the Plant race, if they grew at the same time, the stronger plants would steal the essence of the other plants.
For example, the reason why the spirit farmers had to weed frequently in the spirit fields was because they were worried that the weeds would steal the essence of the Essence Nurturing Grass and Rain Rain Flower and affect the growth of the two immortal herbs.
But now, the Grade 9 Creation Qinglian was absorbing the surrounding essence in the dense forest and the ancient trees could not defend against it at all!
Under the watchful gazes of Big Yellow and Duan Tianliang, the dense branches that extended towards them were the first to wither and droop.
Immediately after, the towering ancient trees in the surroundings turned yellow bit by bit and their lifeforce drained rapidly as well!
Originally, this dense forest was like a sea of green.
However, it didn't take long before the green sea began to turn yellow and eventually spread to the entire forest!
In that withered yellow ocean, only the center region shone with a resplendent glow!
There, a Creation Qinglian was swaying and glowing!
Unlike cultivators of Tianhuang Mainland, Duan Tianliang and Big Yellow had never heard of the legend of the Creation Qinglian.
However, at that moment, both of them realized that the Qinglian before them was definitely a heaven-defying existence!
Within a few hours, the dense forest withered completely.
All the ancient trees died because Su Zimo stole their essence!
Su Zimo's figure appeared once more as he heaved a long sigh of relief.
After absorbing and refining the essence of the dense forest, his cultivation realm had improved by quite a bit as well!
The Creation Qinglian was way too domineering.
If he did not control it and allowed the Qinglian's true body to steal the essence of the surrounding plants to grow and cultivate, all the plants on Dragon Abyss Planet would be devoured by him!
Of course, Su Zimo did not dare to cause such a huge commotion.
Duan Tianliang was already dumbfounded.
Big Yellow stood at the side and shivered as well.
Initially, he was still thinking of finding an opportunity to escape.
But now, he had already given up on that thought.
The scholar with delicate features in front of him was like a devil. He could refine him with just a thought. His fate would probably be similar to the withered trees around him!
