The black water droplets released by the Bramble Demon were not only fast, but also very powerful.
Not only did the Dongxu stage and Longevity stage self-cultivators find it difficult to resist, even the Big Dipper Star Lord and other half-step Hollow Immortals could only resist for a moment before the water droplets successfully broke through their defenses and drilled into their Knowledge Sea.
Luo Ping originally wanted to use the Black White Pearls to neutralize the black water droplets, but he was afraid of attracting the Bramble Demon's attention, so he temporarily left him alone.
He was not worried that the Bramble Demon would kill them immediately. If he really wanted to kill them, it wouldn't be so troublesome. From the Bramble Demon's words before, Luo Ping had already guessed the demon's intention.
"This liquid is the sap of this demon's tree trunk. It contains a powerful poison, but now that I have suppressed it, the poison will only slowly spread."
"In three months' time, the toxicity of the sap will completely spread. At that time, it will directly devour your Sea of Consciousness and body, turning you into ashes. Even if you Half-Step Hollow Immortals have a strong soul power, you won't be able to withstand it."
"However, as long as you can return here in three months, this demon will naturally help you neutralize the poison of the sap and let you safely leave."
"As for my request, those of you who come out of the Ancient Era's Remains alive must hand over all the treasures you obtained in the Ancient Era's Remains to me. As for those who die, that has nothing to do with me."
"Well, this demon is in a good mood today, so I will let you all go. You can now leave here and continue to go deeper."
The Bramble Demon explained to everyone after injecting the black water into their Knowledge Sea.
Hearing the Bramble Demon's words, everyone understood the power of the black water and the demon's intention. Everyone's face was ashen.
Although the Bramble Demon did not intend to kill them, but instead took the initiative to let them go, there was no trace of joy on their faces. Everyone's face was gloomy.
"You still don't want to leave, do you want this demon to kill you all now?"
The Bramble Demon saw that no one moved, so he said sternly.
"Alright, let's go."
After Helian Huozhi and the others flew back to the spaceship, they immediately gave the order to depart. After all, things had already come to this, so they could only temporarily leave the thorny forest. After passing through the two layers of danger, they would first arrive at the ancient ruins.
The nine ships took flight once again, quickly heading into the inner part of the Bramble Forest. This time, because the Bramble Bird Old Devil voluntarily let them through, there were no thorns to stop them, so the ships were able to fly without any obstruction.
Soon, the nine ships had flown more than a hundred miles away. From the top of the ships, they could still see the Bramble Demon's trunk behind them.
"Everyone, there is no need to be so depressed and worried. We are already lucky that Old Bramble Bird did not kill us. After all, given his cultivation base, even if all of us half-step Pseudo Immortals join forces, we are still no match for him."
"Although we have been poisoned by the Bramble Demon's tree poison, it is not certain that we will die. As long as we enter the ancient ruins, we might be able to find an Immortal tier medicinal pill. When the time comes, we will definitely be able to dispel the tree poison in our bodies."
"Therefore, everyone must pull themselves together and strive to smoothly pass through the next two layers of danger. Only then will we have a chance to enter the ancient ruins and find the Immortal tier medicinal pill."
Seeing that everyone was in a very bad state, Helian Huochi immediately said to everyone.
After hearing that, everyone on the nine ships felt that it was very reasonable. After thinking about it, they quickly recovered their state of mind. They threw away their previous depression and worry and once again released their incomparably firm belief.
Now, they must pull themselves together and persevere. They must do their best to break through the next layer of danger. Only then will they be able to enter the ancient ruins and have a chance to find the Immortal tier medicinal pill and save their lives.
Although this process was very difficult, they were not afraid from the beginning. They all came for the treasures in the ancient ruins. Although they were poisoned by the tree poison, as long as they had the Immortal tier medicinal pill, the tree poison would naturally not be a threat.
Therefore, the development of the situation still had to return to the original goal, which was to smoothly enter the ancient ruins. After everyone had recovered their state of mind, Helian Huochi finally felt relieved.
The nine ships quickly flew to the other side of the thorny forest. Before they left the range of the thorny forest, everyone could already feel the powerful aura of death in front of them.
Moreover, in the thorny forest in front of them, there was a large amount of white gas. Wherever the white gas passed, all the thorny vines would be blown away in an instant. Although they could quickly return to their original state, as the white gas passed by, another layer of thorny vines would be blown away.
Under such a situation, the toughness of the thorny vines constantly increased. The fragments of the thorny vines that were blown away merged into the white gas, increasing the power of the white gas at the same time.
"This aura of death is actually so powerful. It's comparable to the aura released by any of the nine dead spirits that we encountered in Zuo Qiu Castle."
"This is merely the periphery. If we were to reach the center, I'm afraid the power of the Death Qi would be raised to an unimaginable level. It's no wonder that Senior Helian suffered quite a serious injury when he passed by earlier."
"With Senior Helian's speed, he can naturally pass through the area of the aura of death quickly. But now that there are nine ships, no matter how fast they are, they can't reach that level. It seems that we'll have to go through another battle."
Luo Ping felt the aura of death in front of them and immediately made an estimation in his heart.
The third danger was the area of the dead spirits that was full of the aura of death and countless dead spirits.
The Dead Spirit Clan was said to have disappeared at the end of the ancient times. Ordinary people would never have thought that there would be a large number of dead spirits in the boundless Black Abyss.
The nine ships flew out of the thorny forest in the blink of an eye and entered the area of the dead spirits. As soon as they entered, everyone who stood in the ships felt a suffocating feeling.
In the space, there was a strong aura of death everywhere. There was no aura of life to speak of. In such an environment, it was countless times worse than the environment in the space of the Demons sect.
After all, although the space of the Demons sect was filled with devil aura, there was also aura of life in the devil aura. It would not make people feel suffocated.
Moreover, in the area of the dead spirits, there seemed to be no spatial airflow. The aura of death was drifting aimlessly. Only at the intersection with the thorny forest and attracted by the airflow in the thorny forest would a large amount of aura of death spread in.
In such an environment, not only did everyone feel suffocated, but even the flying speed of the ships was seriously hindered.
Although it was not like the area of four times gravity at the beginning where there was a strong gravitational pull downward, in the absence of any airflow, their speed could not be increased.
The nine ships flew for a full hour, but they only flew a few hundred miles. Their speed was not as fast as the flying speed of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
Even so, no one dared to leave the ships at will. They could only let the ships fly slowly. After all, the further they went, the stronger the aura of death would be.
On the ship, beside Luo Ping, the Puppet of the Evil Spirits stood at the edge of the ship as if there was no one else around. It absorbed the aura of death in large mouthfuls as if it was drinking water.
On the entire ship, everyone looked at the Puppet of the Evil Spirits in surprise. They felt that his actions were inconceivable.
After all, once the aura of death entered the body of a cultivator, it would accelerate the loss of the cultivator's lifespan. It would also absorb the power of the cultivator's entire body.
The stronger the aura of death, the faster it would accelerate the loss of lifespan. Once it reached a certain stage, even a master of the Great Vehicle Stage would exhaust his lifespan in an instant and lose all his power.
Therefore, these cultivators did not dare to leave the ship at will. However, now, the Puppet of the Evil Spirits was swallowing the aura of death as if it was drinking water. It was indeed somewhat incredible.
The Puppet of the Evil Spirits did not care about the attitude of the crowd. There was only the aura of death in its eyes. That kind of burning desire seemed to want to completely absorb all the aura of death here.
Luo Ping looked at the appearance of the Puppet of the Evil Spirits. He was no longer surprised. Instead, he was laughing in his heart. He felt that his previous actions were very wise.
Not long after entering the area of the dead spirits, Luo Ping released the Puppet of the Evil Spirits. Because the aura of the Evil Spirits was a little similar to the aura of death, Luo Ping had a bold idea.
That was to let the Puppet of the Evil Spirits absorb the aura of death here. Even if there was an accident after absorbing the aura, he could put it away in an instant, and then secretly use the ability of the Black White Pearls to help it dissolve the aura of death.
Because he thought of the worst result, Luo Ping did not hesitate to control the Evil Spirits to absorb the aura of death. In his expectant eyes, the Puppet of the Evil Spirits had not stopped absorbing the aura of death until now.
In the process of absorption, the Evil Spirits, which originally needed Luo Ping to control, began to actively absorb the aura of death, which made Luo Ping very happy.
In other words, the Puppet of the Evil Spirits was still very eager for the aura of death, which was why it had a trace of self-consciousness.
Luo Ping intended to let the Evil Spirits completely recover their memories and consciousness through the absorption of the aura of death. In this way, it would be of great help to the improvement of the power of the Puppet of the Evil Spirits.
With the absorption of the Evil Spirits, a large amount of aura of death was absorbed into his stomach. Up until now, he had been absorbing the aura of death for half an hour.
After absorbing the aura of death for a period of time, Luo Ping could clearly feel that the consciousness of the Evil Spirits was gradually recovering, and the aura of their bodies was also gradually rising.
The Evil Spirits were originally the primordial spirits of Cultivators, but they had lost their original consciousness, so they were integrated into the Puppet and refined into the Puppet of the Evil Spirits.
Although the strength of the Puppet of the Evil Spirits combined with the advantages of the Evil Spirits and the Puppet, it was still difficult for it to display its full strength, because the individual strength of both sides was very weak.
Only by increasing the strength of both the Evil Spirits and the Puppet could the fighting strength of the Puppet of the Evil Spirits continue to soar and reach a higher level.
One of the ways to increase the strength of the Evil Spirits was to awaken their consciousness. After all, once the consciousness of the Evil Spirits was restored, they would be able to use their original cultivation methods and martial skills.
