Chapter 425: Underwater Plaza

Tsk-Tsk!

The Devil Star Vines continued to retrace downwards. Jiang Yi didn’t know how far as he sank, but he felt a lot of pressure and suffocation. Along the way, he had been trying various methods like releasing the Earth Fire and forcefully instant shifting; but it resulted in failure. These Devil Star Vines were indeed as strange as the black vines from the Sea of Death.

A moment later, one man and one beast were dragged into a giant underwater plaza. The Devil Star Vines didn’t move anymore. Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast looked around and gasped silently.

This underwater plaza was massive, and it was unknown how much further it extended to. This wasn’t the important point; the important point was that the surface of this plaza. The surroundings were actually the inside of a white jade palace hall. At the corner of the walls were luminous pearls—as though this was a giant underwater palace.

There was actually a mysterious palace kilometers under the sea? The origins of this Devil Star Vines were actually a palace that could only be made by humans? Who would actually build this palace was in such a deep place?

Everything seemed very strange—so much that Jiang Yi felt as though he had come to the Netherworld Realm. He and the Yazi Beast had incredible eyesight—let alone with light, they could even see through several miles in pitch black darkness. Once these two individuals scanned the surroundings, they realized that there was no end to the underwater plaza. Apart from the Devil Star Vines, they couldn’t detect anything else.

The roots of the Devil Star Vines weren’t in the underwater plaza. They were further down into the ground. Only a segment of it was revealed which was over tens of meters long. There wasn’t just one Devil Star Vine; there were a total of three. They were all lightly swaying in the underwater plaza—as though they were drifting seaweed.

After the Devil Star Vine pulled Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast down, it didn’t make any strange movements and just bound them. It swayed gently in the underwater plaza and did nothing else.

Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast exchanged eye contact. Jiang Yi had this suspicion in his eyes. He couldn’t understand why this Devil Star Vine would suddenly attack him when he was attacking the Black Wasps’ nest? Was the Devil Star Vines related to the Black Wasps, or was it a coincidence?

He looked at the three Devil Star Vines and quickly got the answer. On one of the tentacles of the Devil Star Vines, he smelled the delicate fragrance of the honey. It seemed like these Devil Star Vines were indeed related to the Black Wasps.

Jiang Yi’s eyes looked around and saw that the Devil Star Vines weren’t going to immediately kill him and the Yazi Beast, which meant that there was a chance for survival. As long as there was hope, he wasn’t going to give up; and he quickly thought of ideas.

If he wanted to rescue himself, there were only two ways!

The first way was to comprehend the Art of Plant Spirit. This Devil Star Vine might be a demon spirit, but its base was still vegetation. The Art of Plant Spirit could control all plants in the world. If it could even control the strange trees in the Ghost Woods, he might be able to get the Devil Star Vine to let go of them.

The second way was to comprehend the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno. The five elements mutually benefited and restrained each other. The fire could restrain wood; as long as he could cultivate the Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno to a good enough level, he might be able to refine extremely horrific flames to incinerate the Devil Star Vines and escape from here.

There wasn’t enough time, and he didn’t know when the Devil Star Vine would decide to consume him and the Yazi Beast. Jiang Yi quickly dispelled the distracting thoughts and went into a meditative state, putting all his focus on comprehending the Art of Plant Spirit.

“Chi…”

The Yazi Beast had a flash of mockery in his eyes when he saw that Jiang Yi had been entangled and might die at any moment. However, he was actually trying a futile attempt to cultivate during such a short period of time?

Right now, it had no other way either. Back when the Witch God was bound by the Devil Star Vine in the eastern sea, it tried all ways and all attacks. It couldn’t even put a dent in the Devil Star Vine. Thus, it didn’t even want to waste its strength to try any attack.

“Cultivate then!”

After waiting for a period of time, the Yazi Beast was overcome with boredom. It might have been motivated by Jiang Yi’s unyielding spirit and actually closed its eyes to cultivate as well. Its nose breathed out a white breath while the heaven-and-earth essence forces all gathered towards it. As it was inhaling and exhaling, the heaven-and-earth essence forces were quickly absorbed by it. It was very mystical.

There was serenity in the surrounding, and the three Devil Star Vines were swaying gently in the spacious underwater plaza. The corners of the wall were illuminated with the luminous pearls which had a soft light. Jiang Yi and the Yazi Beast had been bound by one of the Devil Star Vines, but they were both cultivating quietly. This was an extremely bizarre scene.

…

The first to arrive at the western sea wasn’t Shui Youlan—but Grandma Silver Flower. The Mystic Heaven City was very close to the western sea, and Grandma Silver Flower flew in a straight path at her fastest speed without any rest. She took an entire day to arrive at the western sea and found the island where Yun Fei and the others were anxiously waiting nearby.

“Grandma, quickly go save Jiang Yi!”

When Yun Fei saw Grandma Silver Flower, she instantly yelled out with red eyes. Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan were also invigorated. This period of time was a torment for them, and with a Vajra Realm expert arriving, they seemed to see some hope.

Swish!

Grandma Silver Flower circled around the island but didn’t dare to approach. She could see that immeasurably deep giant pit—but let alone flying down to rescue Jiang Yi, she didn’t even dare to approach it.

“Ji-Ji!”

The Black Wasps below were alerted and whizzed towards her. Grandma Silver Flower didn’t dare to make any move and simply flew back quickly. She then used her formidable aura presence to frighten off the Black Wasps.

“Grandma, how is it?!”

When seeing Grandma Silver Flower return, Yun Fei and the others immediately went over to welcome her. The former shook her head and said, “The Devil Star Vines are too terrifying. I don’t dare to go down. We better wait for Hostess Shui and the Demon Empress to come before doing anything.”

“Devil Star Vine?”

Qian Wanguan, Yun Fei, and Zhan Wushuang were all descendants of great clans. They were exposed to many of the secret histories and were familiar with things that normal people didn’t know about. The three of them heard this name and were shocked. Yun Fei didn’t relate to it but wasn’t certain. Right now, all their faces were miserably pale.

The Devil Star Vines had appeared three times in history, and every time, they would kill off many of the human’s absolute experts.

What exactly was the Devil Star Vine? Where did it come from?

No one knew; no one even saw its full appearance before. It gave everyone the impression that it was a black and thick vine with horrifying aura presence. Anyone who had been bound by it never came back.

In fact, the Devil Star Vines appeared four times; and someone actually escaped it. The Witch God was a maverick. No one even knew that he had reached the peak stage of the Vajra Realm in the past. Thus, no one knew that he had encountered the Devil Star Vine in the eastern sea.

The most recent record in history was more than 80,000 years ago. There was this absolute expert who went to cultivate in the northern sea to comprehend the icy snow dao pattern. However, they ended up encountering the Devil Star Vine. This matter caused a huge commotion because this absolute expert was the nephew of the thearch at that time. That emperor was even a Heaven Monarch Realm absolute expert.

The thearch personally led a group of Vajra Realm martial experts to the rescue. No one knew what happened in combat. When that thearch returned, he didn’t rescue his nephew and even lost three of the Vajra Realm martial experts.

Right now, the Devil Star Vines appeared again. It seized the no.1 prodigy of the Stellarsky Continent and a peak-grade demon king. Grandma Silver Flower had arrived while Shui Youlan, Zhuge Qingyun, and the Demon Empress were on the way.

What would happen this time? Would the Vajra Realm martial experts fall here? Would the Demon Empress’ astounding combat strength be able to rescue Jiang Yi?

Qian Wanguan and the others didn’t know, but they knew that they were about to witness a great battle that would be left in the historical records. Of course, they might also witness… the fall of their close friend.
