Chapter 40

Before that Magic Vine.

Lu Li's palm reached out gently.

Just when it was less than three inches away, it was blocked by an extremely strong and evil power; that power lingered and did not dissipate, as if it were an invisible barrier, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through it.

"Hmm?"

Lu Li couldn't help but frown.

With a movement of his internal technique, the Source Power from his heart and liver surged out immediately.

"Boom!"

The giant force was sky-shattering.

But, it still couldn't get any closer.

"How is this possible!"

Lu Li's expression sank slightly.

He had just completed the second life evolution, and the power in his body was enough to move mountains and overturn seas; if even this couldn't get close, was this Magic Vine truly so terrifying?

Just as he was unwilling to give up, a pitch-black little fire jumped out from his forehead.

The firelight flashed and entered that hazy chaos.

"Ssh, ssh..."

The pitch-black little fire burned continuously, as if speaking human language, chatting intimately with the pitch-black gourd.

That pitch-black gourd floated up and down, responding from time to time.

A moment later.

This strange exchange seemed to have a result.

That pitch-black gourd flashed with black light and detached itself from the Magic Vine.

It flashed and rushed toward the nine heavens.

"Shoo!"

It broke through the shackles of the endless pitch-black ghost mist and arrived at the peak of Jiemie Ghost Ridge.

Then, the gourd mouth opened!

"Suck!"

A terrifying, boundless suction force appeared suddenly!

That suction force, centered on the gourd mouth, swept out in all directions, wrapping the entire Jiemie Ghost Ridge, like a giant black hole, wanting to suck all the pitch-black ghost mist into it.

Rumble!

Bursts of terrifying sound shook and spread.

Being in the middle of it, Lu Li felt as if the entire Jiemie Ghost Ridge was about to be turned upside down; under the sky-shattering suction of the gourd, the endless pitch-black ghost mist around turned into wisps and strands, all heading toward the gourd mouth above the nine heavens.

"Could it be that it wants to swallow the pitch-black ghost mist of the entire Jiemie Ghost Ridge!"

Lu Li's heart and soul were shaken.

This is the power of a world, born after a hundred years of gestation!

Is that pitch-black gourd truly so terrifying that it can absorb them all?

Just as he felt shocked, an even greater suction force came from the gourd; in an instant, the pitch-black ghost mist in the entire Jiemie Ghost Ridge was like a receding tide, rushing and reversing at an even faster speed.

A long time later.

The pitch-black ghost mist around disappeared.

Lu Li recovered from that deep shock.

His figure appeared in a boundless giant burial pit.

On the ground, there were endless withered bones!

Lu Li understood that this was the true face of Jiemie Ghost Ridge; as the pitch-black ghost mist here was absorbed by that gourd, the forbidden land's fierce reputation of Jiemie Ghost Ridge would also gradually dissipate.

The only thing that could remain was this burial pit where countless living beings were buried!

He reached out his hand slowly.

Finally touching the pitch-black Magic Vine before him.

The pitch-black ghost mist disappeared, and it also seemed to age instantly, its powerful power also ceasing to exist.

Lu Li sensed this change.

Just preparing to put it away.

Suddenly, the huge body of the Magic Vine burst suddenly, as if heaven and earth were collapsing, turning into endless pitch-black light points, dissipating in this endless wilderness.

Above the high sky, only a seed shining with black light remained.

"This is..."

Lu Li reached out and caught it.

Feeling the incomparable vitality constantly emitted from it, he was shocked in his heart.

This vitality!

Even a Martial Monarch powerhouse didn't possess it by a long shot!

Just as he was preparing to investigate, that seed suddenly turned into a streamer, broke free from his palm, and almost in an instant, entered the gourd mouth above the nine heavens.

"No way?"

The corners of Lu Li's mouth twitched slightly.

That gourd not only took the pitch-black ghost mist in one pot, but now even the seed left by the Magic Vine was snatched from his hand; it was simply plucking hair from a passing goose, not leaving him a drop of soup!

He was unwilling to give up.

He flashed, about to rush toward the pitch-black gourd.

But at this moment, a pitch-black little fire appeared on the gourd; the little fire flashed with firelight and brought the pitch-black gourd in front of Lu Li.

Its flame surged, and another message of request came.

"It wants to follow me?"

Lu Li sensed it and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the pitch-black little fire flashed and entered the gourd again.

Immediately after, the pitch-black gourd also turned, turned into a streamer, entered his forehead, and disappeared.

"Hoo!"

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

After the gourd entered his body, this trip was not in vain.

He knew very well that all this was the little fire's credit.

The pitch-black little fire was born from extreme evil!

To continue growing, it must stay in a place of extreme evil, and by his side, there was simply no such environment.

Therefore, it would beg for the gourd born from the vine!

That gourd formed a world of its own, and after absorbing the pitch-black ghost mist of the entire Jiemie land, it had turned into a place of extreme evil; the pitch-black little fire staying inside would be twice the result with half the effort.

"Tsk tsk, I really didn't expect the relationship between the little fire and it to reach this point, being able to persuade it so easily."

A smile appeared on the corners of Lu Li's mouth.

The pitch-black little fire had already been subdued by him, and the gourd was also in his body; if this continued, it would sooner or later be assimilated by him.

By then, everything in the gourd would belong to him.

He didn't need to worry!

Thinking this, Lu Li flashed and left.

In the blink of an eye.

Several hours passed.

Lu Li looked back at the incomparably huge burial pit and left rapidly.

But a moment later, he stopped again.

Quiet!

Extreme quiet!

Lu Li felt something unusual.

Not long ago, the pitch-black gourd absorbed the pitch-black ghost mist of the entire Jiemie Ghost Ridge, and the movement was so great that it was earth-shattering, but now several hours had passed, and not a single fierce beast had come to check.

This is simply unbelievable!

"Is this still the endless wilderness hiding countless fierce beasts?"

Lu Li's expression changed.

He flashed and left rapidly again.

Finally, an hour later, he found a fierce beast that could speak human language.

"Roar!"

An intense battle broke out instantly!

A few breaths later, the fierce beast lost an arm and lay on the ground covered in blood.

"Detestable human kid, don't be arrogant; the Hei Diao Wang has already led the army to Qian Cheng, and when they return, they will definitely avenge me."

"Hmph!"

Lu Li snorted coldly.

And hit its chest with another palm.

The fierce beast screamed repeatedly.

And in Lu Li's mind, he recalled the scene before he fled into Jiemie Ghost Ridge that day.

At that time, he had received news from the Cracked Tiger that three fierce beast armies were going to attack Qian Cheng together; now several days had passed, and they had indeed taken action.

No wonder there was such a big movement in Jiemie Ghost Ridge, and no fierce beasts had come.

It turned out they had all been taken to Qian Cheng by the Hei Diao Wang.

Just don't know if the six Ouyang family members had safely brought the news back.

Once something went wrong!

And Qian Cheng hadn't received the news in advance, it would be dangerous!

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in his eyes again.

"Speak, when did the Hei Diao Wang's army take action?"
