Within the swamp, there was a deathly silence. The air above the swamp was filled with a dusky aura. This dusky aura had the effect of isolating the soul from probing.
Fang Chen's soul had ejected from his body. He had tried to probe the swamp several times, but to no avail.
"Old Ancestor, what do I need to pay attention to when passing through this swamp?" Fang Chen thought for a moment, but could not detect the swamp. He could only ask Old Ancestor Bronze for help.
Hearing this, Old Ancestor Bronze said, "If my guess is correct, there should be Poison Blood Vines below the swamp."
"Poison Blood Vines."
Fang Chen had never heard of Poison Blood Vines, so he was a little confused.
"Poison Blood Vines are a very domineering vine plant. They are most famous for their poison. Once a martial artist is poisoned, even a Condensing Reality Realm martial artist will die on the spot. Even a Spirit Vortex Realm martial artist will have the poison invade their body. The consequences are unimaginable." Old Ancestor Bronze said.
After listening to Old Ancestor Bronze's explanation, Fang Chen was stunned. He did not expect the Poison Blood Vines to be so domineering.
"Then how did Old Ancestor know that Poison Blood Vines are in the swamp?" Fang Chen asked.
"The towering trees you encountered just now are actually Sky-Reaching Vines."
Old Ancestor Bronze said, "Sky-Reaching Vines are also a vine plant, but it is different from Poison Blood Vines. It is a more gentle vine. Under normal circumstances, it will only release branches to entangle martial artists.
However, once a martial artist is entangled, under the 3rd level of the Spirit Vortex Realm, there is almost no way to resist. In the end, they will be strangled to death by the Sky-Reaching Vines. "
Old Ancestor Bronze's words made Fang Chen feel a lingering fear.
"Sky-Reaching Vines are so powerful?" Fang Chen's eyes were serious as he asked.
"Sky-Reaching Vines are very fatal to low level Spirit Vortex Realm martial artists. Therefore, under normal circumstances, as long as you encounter one, you will immediately escape. However, Sky-Reaching Vines also have a weakness, that is, they are afraid of fire."
"Of course, Sky-Reaching Vines are definitely not afraid of ordinary flames. Only a complete fire concept can force Sky-Reaching Vines to give up attacking."
Old Ancestor Bronze said, "However, your black flame already has a trace of the characteristics of the Undying Flame. It's very powerful. It would be strange if the Sky-reaching Vine is not afraid of it."
The Sky-Reaching Vine was afraid of fire, and Fang Chen's black flames were specifically designed to restrain the Sky-Reaching Vine.
Therefore, Fang Chen easily passed through the forest of vines and arrived at the edge of the swamp.
"The Sky-Reaching Vine and the Venomblood Vine grow together. If there is a Sky-Reaching Vine here, there must be a Venomblood Vine here," Patriarch Bronze said solemnly.
Although the Sky-Reaching Vine was tyrannical, it still had a weakness. By exploiting this weakness, Fang Chen had successfully broken through the forest of Sky-Reaching Vines. Hence, if he wanted to break through the swamp, he had to find the Poisonblood Vine's weakness.
"Ancestor, does the Poisonblood Vine have a weakness?" asked Fang Chen.
The great ancestor pondered for a while before he answered, "If we're talking about its weakness, it's that the speed at which it releases its poison isn't too fast. If one's body technique is good enough, there's still a chance to get past it."
Fang Chen was speechless when he heard that.
He majored in the Sword Dao, and his body technique was barely enough. It was impossible for him to use his body technique to break through.
After talking with Patriarch Bronze for a while, Fang Chen decided to break through the swamp alone.
Although the Poisonblood Vine was extremely tyrannical, Fang Chen had no other choice.
Whoosh!
After Fang Chen was ready, his figure flashed and he directly flew above the swamp.
Suddenly, Fang Chen felt an oppressive aura. Following that, his body was unable to rise.
"This …"
At this moment, Fang Chen discovered that the gray aura above the swamp was actually able to oppress him, preventing his body from rising. He could only fly one meter above the swamp.
"Let's go."
Without hesitation, Fang Chen urged his spiritual qi to fly.
Whoosh!
As Fang Chen flew above the swamp, countless evil auras approached Fang Chen. However, after sensing the black flames around Fang Chen, they quickly retreated.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Chen had flown a hundred meters away. At this time, Fang Chen could no longer see the Sky-Reaching Vine forest behind him.
"Keep going."
At this point, he could only keep going. There was no turning back.
However, at this moment, the quiet surface of the swamp suddenly began to wriggle. Following that, a pitch-black vine covered in thorns instantly rushed out of the swamp.
It was the Poisonblood Vine. Fang Chen immediately discovered it.
The instant the Poisonblood Vine rushed out, a dense black aura was emitted from its vines. As soon as this black aura appeared, the surrounding air began to dissipate.
Seeing this black aura escaping towards him, Fang Chen's expression changed.
"The poison of the Poisonblood Vine."
Fang Chen shouted in a low voice. His body flickered as he waved the Hidden Star Sword in his hand. Immediately, a sword-light carrying the Rippling Water Sword slashed at the Poisonblood Vine.
Crack!
When the Poisonblood Vine was hit by Fang Chen's sword-light, a vine immediately fell down and drilled into the swamp.
As for Fang Chen, he had borrowed the power of the recoil to fly a very long distance away.
Hiss!
The poison of the Poisonblood Vine did not catch up with Fang Chen. It dissipated in the air.
Immediately, the surface of the entire swamp began to squirm. Fang Chen cursed in his heart. Immediately, he increased his speed and charged forward.
"Could it be that these Poisonblood Vines were drawn out by the previous poison?" Fang Chen said anxiously as he flew.
As the poison spread, a large number of Poisonblood Vines rushed out of the swamp. Then, the vines started to emit poison.
The poison emitted by a single Poisonblood Vine was very small. However, when a large number of Poisonblood Vines came together, the poison emitted would be huge. It would almost cover the entire sky above the swamp.
Fang Chen, who was flying, realized that the path ahead had been sealed by the poison of the Poisonblood Vines. He looked at everything coldly.
"Void Plundering Array!"
Fang Chen shouted as he set up the Void Plundering Array. There was no other way.
He had thought that the Void Plundering Array would be able to resist the poison for a while. However, he had not expected that the poison would be so penetrative. The Void Plundering Array was unable to stop it and all of it poured into the array.
Huff!
The poison surrounded Fang Chen in an instant, and he found that his breathing had started to become hurried.
Then, Fang Chen felt the poison of the Poisonblood Vine enter his body and spread continuously.
"Not good!"
Fang Chen screamed and struggled hard. However, the poison had already spread and his body started to become weak.
Si Si Si Si
Just as Fang Chen was about to lose consciousness, the Golden Heart suddenly started to beat rapidly. A rich, cool aura flowed out and drilled into Fang Chen's mind.
At the same time, the Golden Heart emitted a majestic suction force. All the poison that drilled into Fang Chen's body was frantically absorbed by the Golden Heart.
In a short period of time, all the poison released by the Poisonblood Vines in the swamp had drilled into Fang Chen's body and been absorbed by the Golden Heart.
After the Golden Heart had absorbed all the poison, Fang Chen's last bit of consciousness disappeared in an instant. He immediately fell into a coma.
It was also at this moment that the Undying Bird's essence blood residing in Fang Chen's golden heart suddenly emitted scorching flames, directly incinerating all the black toxins.
That's right, it was burned clean.
The Undying Bird Blood Essence released the true Undying Flame. Nothing in the world could resist the burning of the Undying Flame.
After the black poison was burned clean by the Undying Flame, Fang Chen's complexion finally improved. With a bang, Fang Chen fell directly into the Void Plundering Array.
The Undying Bird Blood Essence released the Undying Flame slightly. Immediately, all the Poisonblood Vines in the swamp sensed this terrifying aura.
All the Poisonblood Vines were terrified. In the blink of an eye, they all drilled into the swamp and didn't dare to emerge.
What a joke! This was the Undying Flame, which was known to burn everything in the world. How could mere Poisonblood Vines resist it?
The Banxianshu, which was trapped in the Devil's Mountain Range, was waiting for Fang Chen's arrival. Suddenly, a gloomy voice was heard.
"It seems like your helper has already fallen in the swamp."
Hearing this voice, the Banxianshu shook its branches and said coldly, "Hmph, my helper is very powerful. How can a mere swamp do anything to him?"
"Although he passed through the Sky-reaching Vine Forest, the swamp is the most dangerous place."
The blood-red Demonic Vine said eerily, "Only an ancient martial art practitioner at the third level of the Spiritual Vortex Realm and above can resist the poison of the Poisonblood Vines. Otherwise, it's impossible."
Hearing the words "Poisonblood Vines," the main body of the Banxianshu was clearly stunned.
It had sensed Fang Chen's aura. It had been waiting for Fang Chen to save it, but it had forgotten about the Poisonblood Vines.
"Sh * t."
The Banxianshu cried out secretly, worried for Fang Chen.
"Do you want to watch your companion die just like that?" the blood-red Demonic Vine continued.
The Banxianshu fell silent.
"If you're willing to let me devour you, I'll save your companion. How about that?" the blood-red Demonic Vine continued.
If not for the fact that it couldn't devour the Banxianshu by force, it wouldn't have wasted so much time with the Banxianshu.
The Banxianshu struggled a little. Of course, it wanted to save Fang Chen, but it also didn't want to be devoured by the blood-red Demonic Vine. It was very conflicted.
Seeing the Banxianshu struggling, the blood-red Demonic Vine continued, "After I devour you, your consciousness will still be there. It won't disappear."
The blood-red Demonic Vine wanted to entice the Banxianshu to agree and let it devour it.
However, halfway through his speech, a frightening aura suddenly emerged from the Devil Mountain Range.
"What's that?"
The blood-red Demonic Vine was shocked and cried out involuntarily.
In the next moment, the blood-red Demonic Vine discovered that the Poisonblood Vines in the swamp had all burrowed into the swamp, not daring to show themselves.
"What is it that makes the Poisonblood Vines so afraid?" the blood-red Demonic Vine asked in a low voice.
