Devouring: Starting with an innate sacred body and Dao embryo

Chapter 39 The Power of the Domain, Selling the Cloud-Piercing Vine

"Not bad, he just broke through not long ago."

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, but his gaze was fixed on the Cloud-Moving Vine in the Fog Island.

"What, you're also interested in this long vine? If so, why not give it a try?"

Hong spoke again, pointing to Far and the others: "That's what I just said to them, but unfortunately they weren't strong enough."

"Oh?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Then I'll give it a try."

"However, having just broken through to the planetary level, I advise you not to overestimate your abilities."

Far snorted coldly, his face revealing disdain.

"That's right, the four of us failed together, and you're just a kid who just broke through to the Planetary Realm. Be careful you don't get buried inside."

Loza, a member of parliament who was with Far, also said dismissively.

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. Don't assume others are as weak as you are."

Jiang Chen's gaze swept lightly over Fal and the others, instantly sending shivers down their spines. It was as if they were being looked down upon by a higher being, and they instinctively felt uneasy.

They had originally wanted to say something more, but now they all fell silent.

"Senior Brother Jiang Chen, what they said may be harsh, but it makes some sense. This vine is in great danger, so you must be careful."

Luo Feng walked over at this moment and reminded him.

"Don't worry, this little vine can't do anything to me."

Jiang Chen chuckled slightly, "Master Hong, I'll be right back."

With that, Jiang Chen stepped onto the Flowing Light Sword and flew straight towards the Fog Island.

"Xiao Teng, this Jiang Chen is really arrogant."

Hong's bodyguard, Iceberg, couldn't help but snort inwardly. Not long ago, he had almost perished under this long vine, so he was still quite wary of its power.

Seeing Jiang Chen's contemptuous attitude, he was immediately displeased and watched Jiang Chen fly towards Fog Island, waiting for him to suffer the same embarrassing fate as him.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as if they were about to bulge out, and he exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible! A domain! He actually possesses a domain!"

Not only him, but everyone else present also looked surprised.

"Besides the First Speaker, there are actually other people in this world who possess a domain!"

Far, Loza, and the others all changed color at this moment, feeling extremely regretful when they recalled their earlier mockery of Jiang Chen.

"No matter the cost, we must resolve this grudge."

This idea came to mind for several of them.

Luo Feng's expression was complicated: "In the Fog Island, I was fortunate enough to obtain a plant spirit, which enabled my martial arts strength to reach the mid-stage of the War God realm, and my mental power to reach the peak of the War God realm, making me an invincible War God."

"I thought I was already pretty good, but now I realize that the gap between me and Senior Brother Jiang Chen seems to be even greater."

And in the arena, if there was anyone who remained calm, it was only Hong.

"As expected, my feeling was right. Jiang Chen does indeed possess the strength to threaten me."

"Having already possessed such strength upon entering the Planetary Realm, it seems that the title of Earth's strongest individual will soon change hands."

Although Hong said this, he did not regard Jiang Chen as a threat or intend to target him. On the contrary, he was genuinely happy and revealed a strong and high fighting spirit.

Standing at the top for too long can also lead to feelings of loneliness.

Although Thor is quite powerful, he poses no threat to him whatsoever.

He would be very happy to see Jiang Chen rise to the top and challenge and defeat him.

Only by recognizing our own shortcomings can we make significant progress.

He cares more about improving his own strength than about the empty title of first place.

At this moment, within the misty island, Jiang Chen's water-thunder domain spread out over a hundred meters around him, with thunder and lightning crackling and water ripples rippling.

With a hundredfold increase in the power of life genes, even without any power amplification, simply expanding the domain would be enough to dominate the planetary realm.

The immense pressure caused all eight long vines to break and disintegrate in an instant.

However, the vines regenerate very quickly; once broken, they grow back in an instant.

However, the new vines that grow out are much weaker than the original vines.

Jiang Chen pointed a finger, and water droplets fell like raindrops.

Each raindrop shone with a ghostly blue light, containing immense power of thunder and lightning, crashing down on the vines and blasting open huge gaps.

The speed at which vines regenerate cannot keep up with the speed at which water droplets and lightning destroy.

Finally, the cloud vine could no longer hold on, shrinking completely and exuding an aura of submission.

Jiang Chen stretched out his large hand and put away the Moyun Vine, which had shrunk to the size of an ordinary blade of grass. He then glanced at Wudao and turned back.

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

"Jiang Chen, congratulations on subduing this Cloud Vine. It will definitely be a great help to you in the future."

Although Hong congratulated him, he felt a little regretful. He had originally wanted to subdue the Cloud Vine, but Jiang Chen's appearance had completely disrupted his plans.

"Master Hong, this Cloud Vine isn't really of much use to me. If you want it, we can make a deal."

Jiang Chen looked at the shrunken Cloud Vine in his palm and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

The creeping vine needs a lot of resources to grow better and become a benefit to him.

However, due to his hundredfold life gene, the resources he needs to consume for each breakthrough in his cultivation level are a hundred times greater than those of ordinary beings.

Even a breakthrough in a minor realm requires an enormous amount of resources.

Otherwise, relying solely on breathing and meditation to absorb cosmic energy would be incredibly slow.

In such a situation, with insufficient resources of their own, how could they possibly have extra money to spend on this cloud-patterned vine?

Therefore, for Jiang Chen, this Cloud Vine was a useless thing.

He originally planned to subdue the Cloud Vine and then sell it after arriving in space, thus accumulating his first pot of gold.

However, since Hong wants it, why not do him a favor and sell it to him?

After all, both the elite training camp and the mental master's manual had received some help from Hong, so it was only natural to return the favor.

"Oh? You want to sell this cloud-patterned vine?"

Hong's eyes lit up. "Let's talk on the plane then."

As he spoke, his blood-red, triangular, prehistoric fighter jet appeared, leading Jiang Chen inside.

"Master Hong, you should be aware of the value of this Cloud Vine. It is extremely precious even in the universe."

On the plane, Jiang Chen and Hong sat facing each other, took out the Cloud-Piercing Vine, and began to discuss the price.

"It seems you also know about some things concerning the universe."

Hong glanced at Jiang Chen knowingly: "Your strength has improved so rapidly, you must have received help from the remains of other alien civilizations, right?"

"almost."

Jiang Chen said noncommittally.

Hong pondered for a moment, then said, "Here's what we'll do: I'll give you 1000 Star Units in exchange for this Cloud Vine. You can use it to buy anything from me."

As he spoke, he turned on the holographic projection on the plane, which displayed various images of treasures, each with a name, description, and price tag.
