Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 36 Ascending Kirishima, the Everlasting Wisteria

boom!

Beneath the wide, deep river, a low-level lord-class monster, the Big Mouth River Fish, leaped out of the water, splashing water hundreds of meters high.

Its body, several meters long, leaped out of the water like a cannonball, its fan-sized scales gleaming in the sunlight.

The gigantic maw, covered in hideous spikes, opened to an unbelievable angle, enveloping Jiang Chen, who was flying by, with a powerful suction force.

Zzzzz!

With a clang, ten gleaming golden swords flashed with a chilling light, stabbing, slashing, chopping, and hacking, cutting the big-mouthed river fish into pieces of minced meat as if it were nothing.

thump! thump!

Like dumplings being dropped into a pot, all the scraps of meat fell into the river. Jiang Chen merely glanced at them indifferently, too lazy to collect any materials from the monster, and simply flew away.

The monsters in the river are far more numerous than those on land.

Over a distance of more than 200 kilometers, Jiang Chen encountered more than a dozen attacks from monsters in the river.

Even the weakest of these monsters is a high-level beast general.

The strongest of the water crocodile dragons possesses the strength of a high-level lord.

However, with his current strength, even a high-level lord-level monster would be something he could kill in one move.

So it didn't take much time; in just ten or twenty minutes, they arrived at the huge lake.

The lake was shrouded in a misty fog, obscuring its entirety and creating a sense of mystery and oppression.

Looking down into the deep lake, Jiang Chen could clearly see the figures of many lord-level monsters.

At this moment, a high-level lord-class monster, resembling an electric eel, leaped out of the lake. It was twenty or thirty meters long and as thick as a water vat, like a ferocious python, with powerful electric current emanating from its body, enveloping Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen remained unmoved. Ten transparent flying swords, like icicles, shot out and pierced the electric eel monster.

This is one of the original magic swords, called the Water-Cold Sword. Its characteristic is extremely intense cold, which can release icy energy that makes the opponent's body stiff and sluggish.

If you are stabbed, your body will freeze instantly.

The ten Water-Cold Swords exuded a strong chill, making the surrounding temperature frigid, and even the surface of the lake below was covered with a layer of floating ice.

The electric eel's body became incredibly stiff, and the electric current it emitted became extremely weak.

Whoosh!

The Water Cold Sword was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye, the blade pierced into the electric eel's body.

Instantly, an incredibly intense chill surged into the electric eel's body, freezing it to death and turning it into an ice sculpture.

The flying sword circled the electric eel ice sculpture, cutting and collecting its valuable parts, which were then placed into the backpack formed by the Black God Set.

Then Jiang Chen continued flying towards the center of the lake.

This lake is teeming with monsters, all of which are quite powerful, with low-level and mid-level lords being commonplace.

The number of high-level lords is also enormous.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Jiang Chen kept his flight very quiet. Although he encountered several monsters along the way, he dealt with them one by one and successfully landed on the island in the center of the lake.

The fog on the island was even thicker, reducing visibility to only about 200 meters.

Jiang Chen gazed at the lush, deep, and hazy depths of the island, stepping on his Flowing Light Sword, hovering three feet off the ground, and slowly flew towards it.

A purple vine climbed atop a raised boulder; the thinnest vines were as thick as water buckets and nearly a hundred meters long.

The thickest main vine is two to three meters in diameter and four to five hundred meters long.

These vines coiled and twisted, gnarled and vigorous, exuding an explosive sense of power.

As Jiang Chen approached, the many branches of this wisteria vine lashed out like whips, producing a crisp sonic boom, and suddenly struck at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was prepared, and ten emerald green longswords materialized and appeared.

This is the original magic sword, a wooden spirit sword. Its characteristic is unparalleled agility, capable of performing various difficult maneuvers according to his will.

Within a small space, it can maneuver and move with incredible agility, a thousand times more flexible than controlling an SS-class throwing knife.

Ten wooden spirit swords flew out in all directions, cutting through all the vines that were lashing out at them.

Purple sap flowed out, emitting a strong, sour smell, and the wisteria instinctively sensed a great threat.

The main vine, which coiled up and stretched for a thousand meters, twisting and turning like a dragon, slowly twitched. The other hundreds of branch vines also meandered like pythons, either striking or wrapping around each other.

"I'm really lucky. I've encountered a ten-thousand-year-old purple vine as soon as I arrived. Its strength is already close to that of a first-level planetary-level martial artist."

Jiang Chen's gaze was solemn, and ten golden swords reappeared in front of him.

Hundreds of vines lashed out, while ten wooden spirit swords blocked them around Jiang Chen, transforming into afterimages and changing direction repeatedly as if without momentum, thus deflecting all the attacks.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Then the Golden Edge Sword flew out with unstoppable force, easily severing the vines, which were even tougher than those made of special alloys, as if they were thin threads.

Just then, the main vine, which was a thousand meters long and more than ten meters in diameter, suddenly erupted and lashed out with incredible speed.

The air suddenly tightened, echoing around like the booming of a cannon.

If this violent blow had struck anyone else, even a peak-level high-ranking war god, they would have been caught off guard and killed instantly, even with the defense of the Black God Set.

Jiang Chen remained vigilant throughout. Although he was caught off guard by the attack from the main vine of the Purple Thorn Vine, he still had time to defend himself.

Jiang Chen drew his SS-grade battle sword from his waist and immediately unleashed the ninth level of the Ninefold Thunder Blade.

The electric arc leaped and flickered on the tip of the knife, bursting violently and causing the surrounding mist to surge like a dark cloud.

This scene is like a strange celestial phenomenon, with dark clouds looming over the city and rumbling thunder.

Jiang Chen's imposing figure and indifferent expression were like those of a god who wielded thunder. He swung his battle blade horizontally, accompanied by thunderous roars, colliding with the main vine that was lashing out from the ten-thousand-year-old purple vine.

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted, and Jiang Chen used his knife to prop up the ground, sliding dozens of meters away.

On the opposite main vine, a three-meter-deep knife mark appeared.

"Again!"

Jiang Chen slightly bent his knees and leaped up, unleashing the ninth level of the Ninefold Thunder Blade once more, engaging the main vine in fierce combat.

Meanwhile, the Golden Edge Sword and the Wooden Spirit Sword worked together, continuously severing the other vines of the Purple Thorn Vine under the control of Jiang Chen's mental power.

Soon, under the dual attack of Jiang Chen's mind and body, all the vines of this ten-thousand-year-old purple thorn vine, except for the main vine, were cut off by Jiang Chen.

Meanwhile, the main vine was covered in wounds, with deep knife marks everywhere.

As the Golden Edge Sword and the Wooden Spirit Sword returned, Jiang Chen's martial arts power and mental energy erupted together, and the main vine could no longer hold on. It was cut in two by the Golden Edge Sword and collapsed with a crash.

Next, Jiang Chen went straight to the root of the ancient Bauhinia vine.
