The nine ships flew in the boundless black abyss for nearly eight hours. Because everyone worked together and continuously released their True Inner Force to strengthen the defense of the ship, there were no accidents.
Even so, because everyone's cultivation was exhausted and they were reluctant to take pills to restore their cultivation, the defense of the ship was still lower than before.
Unknowingly, the ship had descended a distance of twenty miles. This distance was not a worry for everyone. After all, the boundless abyss was bottomless.
"In front of us is a dense thorny forest. Thorns are everywhere, crisscrossing. As long as someone enters, a large number of thorns will attack together, entangling the intruder until they turn into ashes."
"No one knows why these thorns appear in this position in the boundless black abyss. However, the power of these thorns is recorded in the cultivation domain."
"It is said that at that time, the Dacheng Stage powerhouses of the eight first-rate sects joined forces to enter the boundless black abyss to explore. As soon as they entered this thorny forest, they were entangled by countless huge thorns and couldn't move at all."
"Later, they broke through the entanglement of the thorns with great difficulty, but they also encountered the powerhouse of the thorns, the 'Old Demon of Thorns' who had cultivated for an unknown period of time."
"It is said that although these Dacheng Stage powerhouses finally succeeded in injuring and forcing the Old Demon of Thorns to retreat, they were also seriously injured and had to temporarily withdraw. They recuperated for a period of time before re-entering."
"Although we don't know the results of these powerhouses' exploration, since then, when the Dacheng Stage powerhouses entered here, they have never encountered the Old Demon of Thorns again."
"Even so, the power of this thorny forest is unusually strong. We must be very careful."
Helian Huozhi reminded everyone at the same time, he also informed everyone of the dangerous situation in the thorny forest ahead.
Most of the powerhouses of the first-rate sects understood the situation he mentioned. However, since that time when the Dacheng Stage powerhouses of the eight first-rate sects joined forces to injure the Old Demon of Thorns, it had never appeared again.
Although there was no Old Demon of Thorns, the degree of danger in the thorny forest at this moment was still not to be underestimated. They must be careful.
Just as Helian Huozhi's voice fell, everyone suddenly felt that the ship was rapidly ascending, so they immediately withdrew their True Essence.
After the ship left the area with four times the gravity, it didn't even have time to fly steadily before it began to shake violently. It began to sway left and right, and there were violent crashing sounds coming from outside.
"Everyone, let's work together to cut off the thorns outside the ship and open up a path for the ship. Otherwise, once the ship is trapped, it will be entangled by more thorns."
Helian Huozhi immediately reminded him.
Everyone on the nine spaceships heard this and began to attack the thorns outside the spaceship. The defensive boundary of the spaceship itself is a one-way defensive boundary. It doesn't hinder their attacks, but it can block the thorns outside.
Countless weapons flew out of the ship and attacked the thorny vines outside. In an instant, the thorny vines were cut off and fell to the ground.
Those who didn't take out their weapons also released their True Essence to attack the thorns outside. No one slacked off. After all, if they didn't destroy these thorns, it would be difficult for them to leave the thorny forest.
Under everyone's concerted efforts, they opened up a path for the ship to fly smoothly, allowing the ship to smoothly fly for dozens of miles. However, after dozens of miles, everyone's face turned ugly.
"The thorns in front of us are getting harder and harder, and the strength of the attacks is also getting stronger. Even our spiritual weapon attacks can't cut them off in one go. It seems that the further we go, the stronger the thorns are."
Many people noticed the changes in the thorns. Their faces became dignified, and they couldn't help but increase the strength of their attacks.
Even so, they couldn't break the thorns like before. At least two fierce attacks were needed, which was enough to show the toughness of the thorns.
After all, these people were outstanding powerhouses selected by various sects. Not only were they powerful, but they also used spiritual weapons.
The fact that the thorns could withstand the full force attack of a spiritual weapon was already very strong. However, this was only the periphery of the thorny forest. There was still a long way to go.
According to everyone's understanding and Helian Huozhi's warning, everyone clearly knew that the deeper they went into the thorny forest, the stronger the thorns would be. Therefore, they became so dignified.
After all, they had only just entered dozens of miles, and there was still a long way to go. They couldn't imagine how strong the thorns would be.
On the ship that Luo Ping was on, the powerhouses of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect accounted for about twenty percent. With Luo Ping as the leader, their attacks on the thorny forest were unusually fierce, which attracted the attention of the other forces on the ship.
After all, the powerhouses of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect were numerous. More importantly, their attacks were very powerful. The speed at which they broke the thorns was much faster than other powerhouses of the same level.
Although the Great Ascension Stage powerhouses hadn't made a move yet, Jian Chen was the strongest powerhouse of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect. When necessary, he would still lend a helping hand.
Therefore, even though the powerhouses of the Hundred Rivers Divine Sect were at the front of the ship, they still seemed to be very relaxed. This greatly reduced the pressure on the powerhouses of the other forces on the sides.
Even so, after the ship continued to fly for dozens of miles, everyone felt a great pressure. At this time, they had to attack the thorns countless times before they could successfully break them.
Under such circumstances, the speed of opening a passage was greatly reduced. Moreover, the thorns began to gradually entangle the ship.
At this time, the Great Ascension Stage powerhouses on the nine ships had no choice but to make a move. Under their attacks, the thorns in front of them couldn't resist at all. The power of their attacks could open a large passage.
With the help of these Dacheng Stage powerhouses, the ship flew for another two hundred miles. After that, even if the Dacheng Stage powerhouses wanted to break the thorny vines, they would not be able to succeed in one blow.
"The toughness of the thorns in front of us has reached the level of an Immortal Artifact. If we, the Great Ascension Stage powerhouses, move forward alone, there are still many ways to pass through."
"But now, it's a little difficult to open a large passage for the ship to pass through smoothly. After all, the thorns are closing up too quickly."
"So now, we have to find another way and use a special method. All the members of the Metal Spirit Body or those who practice Metal Attribute Cultivation Methods, gather all your attacks together. Then, we, the Great Ascension Stage powerhouses, will enhance your attacks."
"I believe that with our enhancement, we can maximize the power of the gathered attacks. It's enough to open a passage in the thorns forest."
Helian Huochi told everyone his suggestion. After everyone heard it, they were very much in favor of it.
Therefore, the self-cultivators with the Metal Spiritual Body and those who practiced the Cultivation Arts of the Metal Element gathered their True Core Force in one spot, forming a giant light ball.
The light ball contained a powerful Metal Attribute power. According to the relationship between Metal and Wood, it just restrained the power of these thorns.
When the power in the light ball reached its strongest, the Great Ascension Stage powerhouses on each ship also poured their own power into the light ball. Then, they directly pushed the light ball into the thorns forest in front of them.
Nine huge light balls, like meteors, crossed the sky, shuttled through the thorns forest at a fast speed. They traveled a distance of dozens of miles before they exhausted their power.
Wherever the light balls passed, they directly opened up a very wide passage, enough for the ships to pass through. So, the nine ships quickly flew a distance of dozens of miles without any obstruction.
After that, everyone did the same thing. Once again, the ships flew a distance of hundreds of miles. Just when everyone thought that they could use this method to leave the thorns forest smoothly, there was a change in the thorns in front of them.
All the thorns in front of them turned from grey to black. The thorns also became several times thicker. When the light balls of everyone passed through, they were actually obstructed.
The light balls only traveled a distance of two to three miles in the black thorns. Then, they lost all their power and dissipated into the void at the same time.
Such an unforeseen event made everyone on the ship, including the Great Ascension Stage powerhouses, change their expressions greatly. Even Helian Huochi was surprised and puzzled.
"This is strange. The last time I was here, there were no black thorns at all. This time, why …?"
Helian Huochi was very puzzled.
"Roar, roar, roar, roar …"
Just when everyone was about to open their mouths to ask Helian Huochi, a series of angry roars suddenly came from the thorns forest in front of them. However, it sounded like evil laughter. Moreover, the sound was sometimes rough and sometimes soft.
"What's that sound?"
"Could it be that among these thorns, there are some that have cultivated to transform?"
"Although plants like the thorns tree do not belong to the category of spiritual objects, they can cultivate to transform. However, they need at least tens of thousands of years to successfully transform."
"Tens of thousands of years? That's enough for a cultivator to cultivate to the Great Ascension Stage. However, it can only transform the thorns tree. It's indeed more difficult.
"However, if it's a thorns tree that has just transformed, how can it be so powerful? How can it dissolve the power that we have gathered so easily? "
Hearing the sound in front of them, everyone began to discuss. Most of them thought that the black thorns in front of them were thorns trees that had cultivated to transform.
However, there were a few powerhouses whose expressions changed abruptly. They seemed to be very frightened. These powerhouses were all from first-class sects.
Even the faces of all the Great Ascension Stage powerhouses were extremely gloomy. Their gazes were fixed firmly in front of them. They did not say a word and seemed to be deep in thought.
"How can it be so coincidental that the Old Demon of Thorns appeared again at this time?"
