At a glance, at least within the range of Long Chen's senses, there were several thousand people who were blocked by the strange vine. They did not dare to advance any further.
From their conversations, Long Chen heard the monster's name — the Myriad Evil Vine.
It was said that it could create billions of clones. Its terror was self-evident.
Some of these ancient beasts were powerful, while others were weak. However, since they were able to survive to this day and age, they all possessed a frightening life-saving technique.
If an ordinary cultivator was struck by the vine, their flesh would probably split open, not to mention the strange spores that could live inside a person's body and suck their flesh dry.
Long Chen could imagine just how terrifying the effects of the Myriad Evil Vine would be if it was placed in a suitable place.
Right now, it was probably imprisoned by the humans in the Nine Serenity Demon Mountains, unable to cause trouble. Only when the Saints' Fruit ripened every five hundred years would it show its might.
It could be seen that the Myriad Evil Vine was extremely excited.
Time waited for no man. There were still quite a few people who rushed through the Myriad Evil Vines' attack range and successfully entered the fog-shrouded forest in front of them. Some of these people were lucky enough to not be attacked by the Myriad Evil Vines, while others were strong enough to directly cut down the vines and then rushed over.
Of course, there were some people who were powerful but unlucky. They were treated with special attention by the Myriad Evil Vine, but their fates were not good. They were either whipped to death or sucked dry by the spores.
It was their miserable deaths that made many people stop in fear. They no longer dared to advance any further.
Only true geniuses or people who desperately wanted to change their fates could obtain the Saints' Fruit. The cowardly and weak people were stopped by the various tests of the Nine Netherworld Demon Mountain. They did not dare to take another step forward. At the very least, over half of the cultivators were stopped below the Myriad Evil Vine.
If they wanted to change their fates, they would have to face the danger of death.
Long Chen was the only one who had come here to save someone. He did not come to change his fate, but for something more important.
Without thinking too much, Long Chen jumped off the cliff under everyone's shocked gazes.
"Another cannon fodder."
Seeing that a warrior at the third level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm dared to walk in front, the onlookers couldn't help feeling sorry for him. In fact, many warriors at the fourth and fifth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm still stayed where they were and didn't dare to move forward rashly. Generally speaking, only warriors at the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm could pass through steadily.
However, the warriors at the sixth level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm were all geniuses among geniuses, and they all had the potential to reach the peak of the Divine Martial Arts Realm in the future.
Long Chen was bold, but in the eyes of the crowd, it would only be a tragedy at most.
Judging from Long Chen's clothes, one could tell at a glance that he was definitely not a member of the Nine Great Clans. He didn't have the powerful resources of those clans. Even before, there was a child at the second level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm, who was wearing a tight set of armor, who had unexpectedly rushed through the range of the Myriad Evil Vines. This was the power bestowed by the clans.
Long Chen didn't care about what other people thought. Among these 100,000 people, although many of them were older than Long Chen, in the eyes of Long Chen, they were just children.
After landing on the ground, the Myriad Evil Vines, which were still far away, clearly appeared in front of him. Every vine was covered with barbs, and it was at least one meter in diameter. It wasn't very long, but it was full of power and a terrifying aura.
Thousands of vines danced in front of him, and thousands of warriors met again. From time to time, there were people who were lucky enough to rush through, and there were also people who unfortunately died. There were even people who rushed through, but before they could get far enough, they were swept back by the terrifying evil vines.
The place where Long Chen landed was very close to the position of the evil vines. The evil vines had already regarded him as an enemy. In the first instant, Long Chen saw two thick evil vines unexpectedly whip towards Long Chen. The evil vines hadn't even touched him yet, but the sound of the wind was already blowing fiercely.
Long Chen didn't do anything, but he first used his Divine Breath Technique. Although it was only his guess that the other party used something like Divine Sense to perceive, Long Chen still wanted to give it a try first.
The entire Nine Secluded Demon Mountain was under the suppression of the Soul Suppressing Stone. The terror of the Level Nine Soul Suppressing Stone was unimaginable. Basically, even if Li Xuanji was in her peak state, her Divine Sense would be suppressed to the point that it couldn't be used.
In fact, Long Chen didn't have much hope. After all, if the Myriad Evil Vines used a perception similar to Divine Sense, the Soul Suppressing Stone would have suppressed them long ago. How could it accurately grasp everyone's position?
However, contrary to Long Chen's expectations, when the evil vines whipped about ten meters in front of him, they actually stopped. They showed a very human-like side, twisting around in confusion. Then, the two evil vines ignored Long Chen and went to attack others.
"It actually worked." Long Chen was a little surprised.
It seemed that the Myriad Evil Vines indeed used something similar to Divine Sense, but it wouldn't be suppressed by the Soul Suppressing Stone. Instead, it would be suppressed by the Divine Breath Technique. This showed that the stupid Kitten's origin was actually not simple.
Kitten was probably a member of the Monster Race, and an ancient Monster Race at that.
With the success of the Divine Breath Technique, Long Chen only had one more attempt left. After all, it was quite troublesome to face the Myriad Evil Vines. At this time, Long Chen could easily walk through the dense and terrifying evil vines.
That kind of terrifying battle was happening beside him, and the place he walked through was like a piece of pure land. Not far away, many people saw Long Chen's situation and were all shocked. Most of these people had previously thought that Long Chen was cannon fodder, but they didn't take action. The Myriad Evil Vines had already frightened them.
But at this time, the cannon fodder in their eyes had actually walked past the Myriad Evil Vines so easily. The terrifying evil vines that were whipping up and down seemed to be unable to see him, turning a blind eye to him.
The area where the evil vines were located was about a kilometer wide. As long as he could safely cross this kilometer, he could enter the next area. Long Chen estimated that the Myriad Evil Vines were already in the middle of the Nine Serenities Demon Mountain. The higher he went, the closer he was to the Holy Tree of Heaven and Earth. Long Chen raised his head and looked up. The sky was still shrouded by the shackles of lightning and thick fog. On the top of the huge Nine Serenities Demon Mountain, there was a vague pressure of heaven and earth.
With hope right in front of him, Long Chen quickened his pace. His situation made many people exclaim in surprise. Their faces were dull as they looked at him with envy and jealousy.
"What's going on with this kid?"
"Ah, the Myriad Evil Vines actually didn't sense his existence. How is that possible?"
"He must have something good on him, but he doesn't come from one of the nine great clans."
Many of the cultivators who were still surrounded by the Myriad Evil Vines saw an opportunity from Long Chen. They wanted to understand how he was able to do this, but there was nothing they could do. The Myriad Evil Vines were just too tightly wrapped around them. If they were not careful, they would lose their lives, so they did not have the energy to pay attention to Long Chen.
Just when he was about to walk out, something suddenly happened. Everyone began to make a ruckus. Long Chen sensed something and looked back. There was a young man standing on the cliff.
When he saw the man, Long Chen squinted his eyes. He understood that any cultivator who could make him feel like this would be a powerful opponent. The battle for the Saints' Fruit had gathered all the geniuses in the Nine Hells before the age of a hundred. There would definitely be people who could reach the ninth layer of the God Martial realm before the age of a thousand, just like Li Xuanji. Qin Shi, whom he had encountered before, was known as the disciple of the current world king of the Nine Hells Demon Realm. She had the opportunity and the right to do so, and the young man before him was the same.
From the young man, Long Chen saw a tenacity similar to himself. He was born in poverty, but he possessed terrifying tenacity. Only by persevering could he achieve what he had today. If someone like him was an enemy, they would be even more terrifying than those who had endless resources since they were young.
This man was wearing a set of silver chainmail. The armor was thin and close-fitting, but there was an astonishing power on it. Clearly, its defensive power was extremely terrifying. In fact, the power of the silver chainmail had even fused with the power of the young man's body, forming a kind of convergence that caused the young man's power to increase exponentially.
At the same time, the young man held a silver spear in his hand. The spear was even more terrifying than the silver chainmail. Long Chen had seen Chu Tiange's Clear Sky Sword before. Clearly, the spear was on the same level as the Clear Sky Sword at the very least.
In terms of talent, the young man surpassed people like Chu Tiange.
From his body, Long Chen felt the pressure of the will of heaven and earth. There was no doubt that this young man's strength was outstanding. He must be a warrior at the seventh level of the Divine Martial Arts Realm, a Dharma Laksana of heaven and earth, similar to Qin Shi.
The young man had long, silver hair. His eyes were cold and determined, and his appearance was rather delicate. Although he seemed effeminate, there was a sharp sense of heroism in his eyes, just like the silver spear in his hand.
"It's actually the Silver Dragon Spear, Su Zhe."
"Heavens, it's actually him. He's one of the hot favorites for the Saints' Fruit."
Many people became stunned after the young man appeared. They looked at the young man called Su Zhe with admiration. Of course, there were also people who were jealous of him. Displeasure was written all over their faces.
Aside from Qin Shi, this was the second opponent that Long Chen had encountered that could truly make him feel fear.
