Chapter 183: Breaking Through the Poisonous Miasma

The Star Dou Great Forest is located almost in the center of the continent, with a pleasant climate. The temperature remains between twenty and thirty degrees all year round. Winter almost does not exist, let alone ice and snow.

Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the Sunset Forest is over a thousand kilometers further north. If one continues to head north, with enough travel time, one can enter the Extreme North.

The Extreme North.

Mentioning this familiar name, Su Yu knows that one day, he must go there. After all, he is not yet strong enough to return safely from the Extreme North.

After all, given Su Yu's current strength and the unstable state of Xue Di, if Su Yu were to risk going to pick up his cheap grandson Xiao Bai to bring him home now, the most likely outcome would be being swallowed in one gulp by the Titan Snow Demon King.

Because this place is close to the Extreme North, the temperature is much lower.

Under these circumstances, the vegetation is naturally dominated by coniferous forests better suited to low and medium temperatures. Of course, it is also accompanied by some subtropical plants.

Although Su Yu does not know how there are subtropical plants in this place with relatively low temperatures...

Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the species here are not as rich, so it appears sparse. But the vegetation that can survive here has stronger survival capabilities.

Stepping into the Sunset Forest, having walked only a few steps, Soul Beasts began to appear.

It is just that these Soul Beasts are pitifully weak, completely incomparable to the Star Dou Great Forest that Su Yu has visited. In comparison, the Soul Beasts encountered here are simply too weak.

The ones encountered here are nothing but Ten Year Spirit Beasts. I have to say that the degree of barrenness here also exceeded Su Yu's imagination. It is a forest after all, but looking at it now, it really is just a forest...

The further Su Yu walks, the more he understands that this place cannot be compared to the Star Dou Great Forest at all. Although there is only a one-character difference between "forest" and "great forest," the Star Dou Great Forest is, after all, the premier gathering place for Soul Beasts on the entire continent. The Great Fierce Land at its core is even collectively known as one of the five great forbidden zones of heaven and earth in the human world, along with the Far North Core Circle of the Extreme North and three other extremely dangerous places.

The two are simply incomparable.

Originally, the Douluo Continent only had three forbidden zones; it was only after that collision with the Sun Moon Continent that two more appeared. Those two places are the Qiankun Wenqing Valley and the Demonic Forest.

After another hour of progress, Su Yu has already penetrated deep into the interior of the Sunset Forest. The further in he goes, the denser the vegetation becomes.

However, even though Su Yu has entered a deeper part of the Sunset Forest, there are still no powerful existences. Because Su Yu knows that the place he is going to now is completely inhabited by a bunch of Hundred Thousand Year Plant Spirit Beasts; it is perfectly normal that there are no other powerful Soul Beasts in the surrounding area.

Now, the number of Soul Beasts in the Sunset Forest seems to have become somewhat unscalable, a conclusion Su Yu reached through observation during his entry. However, this is also within reason. A small forest like this cannot have too many powerful Soul Beasts. Because the Sunset Forest simply cannot be like the Star Dou Great Forest, which has powerful Soul Beasts guarding it.

It is precisely because human demand is constantly growing that this growth pattern of one side rising while the other falls makes it impossible for Soul Beasts, which require long cycles, to continue to reproduce. This is also the root cause of why the Soul Beast crisis occurred in Dou II.

As the light in the Sunset Forest dimmed, Su Yu did not hesitate and directly opened his Fate Eye.

In his Fate Eye, the fine dust permeating the surrounding air—as Su Yu continuously channeled the Fate Eye, he saw more colors and terrain.

"It looks like my destination is almost here."

The Sunset Forest looks very calm, but there seems to be a thin layer of mist drifting in the forest. What is even more shocking to him is that this mist gradually fades and disappears in the distance behind them, while continuing forward, it has a trend of becoming increasingly dense.

In the distance, it even looks like a cloud has fallen into the woods, to the point where even the vegetation cannot be seen clearly. And the color of this cloud is not just white; there are even multiple colors appearing in the distance.

All these scenes were seen clearly by Su Yu using the Fate Eye, and Su Yu realized that he seemed to be extremely close to his destination.

As he went deeper, Su Yu felt a slight discomfort, as if his body showed signs of being poisoned.

Miasma?

However, the current concentration of miasma cannot cause other effects on him; it only makes Su Yu feel slightly uncomfortable. Now he needs to save his soul power to deal with the crises ahead.

Finally, after advancing several hundred meters, Su Yu began to show signs of dizziness. Although the current miasma makes Su Yu feel uncomfortable, with Su Yu's powerful vitality, which could even suppress and neutralize Meng Hongchen's Ice Toad Poison back then, this miasma cannot threaten him yet.

"It seems I have to use some means to solve this, otherwise if it goes on like this, it will be too much of a waste of time."

Su Yu took out a Soul Guidance Device and aimed at the open space in front. A pure white energy shell exploded with a boom ten meters in front of Su Yu.

The Soul Guidance Device Su Yu used is actually not very high-level; it is just a Level Four Soul Guidance Device, the Wind Breaking Cannon.

This Wind Breaking Cannon was originally used by Su Yu to create strong wind pressure to repel enemies. Its actual combat attack power is not high, but this thing, like the Retreat Bracelet, can allow the opponent's actions to be influenced by him.

However, it can only affect a Four-Ring Soul Master.

The moment the energy shell exploded, a powerful wind pressure erupted. The surrounding poisonous miasma was instantly cleared by Su Yu. As the poisonous miasma dissipated, Su Yu's speed increased significantly.

Now that this thing is being used by Su Yu here, it has had a miraculous effect. Judging from the current situation, Su Yu can at least walk to the periphery of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

However, the speed at which the poisonous miasma gathers is very fast, forcing Su Yu to use the Wind Breaking Cannon frequently. Fortunately, the soul power consumed by this thing is not much for Su Yu.

This good situation did not last long. Further in, the miasma had become almost like severe smog, making it impossible to see the road at all.

The Wind Breaking Cannon, which initially had a miraculous effect for Su Yu, can no longer have any effect on the miasma now. Even if a blank space is blasted out, it is swallowed by the miasma the next second.

Now he has no choice but to summon his Blood Dragon Battle Armor. As a blood-colored light enveloped Su Yu's entire body, a blood-red energy shield also blocked the miasma outside.

When he broke through the layers of the miasma's obstruction, he arrived at a world permeated with seven colors everywhere.

Looking at this colorful world, this is not a beautiful thing, but a deadly fierce object containing highly toxic poison.

The poisonous miasma here is no longer the pure poisonous miasma it was initially, but a dead zone created by mixing various poisonous gases and toxins.

Looking around, Su Yu can see the corroded bones of humans and Soul Beasts from time to time. Aside from plants, this is a dead zone without any other living creatures!

"These Soul Beast corpses are already nutrients for the poisonous miasma, and then the poisonous miasma constantly hunts other creatures, even birds passing through the air. Repeating this, these poisonous miasmas become more and more powerful. If I could manufacture it, then I would have no need to worry about the Wanjing Sect being discovered by others."

Looking at the poisonous miasma in front of him, Su Yu suddenly had a bold idea. If this were really the case, then entering and exiting the Wanjing Sect would only require some specially made anti-poison items. Then he could put all the people of the Su Family in the Wanjing Sect, which could also avoid many unnecessary troubles.

Now those seven-colored poisonous miasmas are actually starting to stick to his shield as if they were sticky. Under the powerful corrosion of these poisonous miasmas, Su Yu can clearly feel that his soul power consumption is increasing at an alarming rate.

Fortunately, all the components of his Blood Dragon Battle Armor are matched, and even the accompanying Soul Guidance Protective Shield is Level Eight. The current poisonous miasma at most makes it troublesome for Su Yu to clear it when going out. With the current intensity of the poisonous miasma, it is not yet able to corrode his Level Eight Soul Guidance Device, the Blood Dragon Battle Armor.

For a short distance of a few hundred meters, Su Yu walked for a full half hour.

With every step he took, Su Yu could feel his soul power being consumed rapidly.

This also forced Su Yu to stop and recover his soul power. Ever since he stepped into the Five-ring Soul King realm, Su Yu had never felt his soul power exhausted.

I didn't expect that even after making so many preparations, I would still be made so disheveled by this poisonous miasma. If I were the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, I wouldn't have to be so overwhelmed.

Even if it wasn't the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, even a poison-attribute martial soul would be fine.

After another hour or so of searching, Su Yu has basically determined the exact location of the target.

However, the pressure brought to him by the poisonous miasma outside is also becoming greater and greater. The seven-colored poisonous miasma has even made it impossible for them to see the situation outside the Soul Guidance Protective Shield through vision, and the consumption of the Soul Guidance Protective Shield requires Su Yu to repeatedly strengthen it to continue maintaining it.

Bilin Seven Absolute Flower.

After a difficult journey, Su Yu finally arrived at the last checkpoint.

"Finally, I have reached the source of these poisonous things. I think as long as I take some of these Bilin Seven Absolute Flowers, or cultivate a plant-type Soul Beast with intelligence, it is only a matter of time before my idea is realized in the future."

The scene before him is extremely spectacular. Those large patches of emerald green poisonous clouds are gathered. Under the detection of Su Yu's Fate Eye, the poisonous clouds of the Bilin Seven Absolute Flower have completely shrouded the entire valley where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is located.

That is to say, regardless of whether Su Yu chooses to follow the map or chooses to enter the valley from other places, he will be attacked by the poisonous clouds of the Bilin Seven Absolute Flower.

Although both ice and fire have quite good restrictive and destructive effects on miasma, unfortunately, his current strength is far from sufficient; if Su Yu were a Soul Saint now, then perhaps if he unleashed Ice Extreme Boundless with all his might, he could bring about a blizzard over a large area and freeze this entire region before him.

Then if he were to pass through, it would be incomparably easy, but he cannot do it as he is now; even if he could freeze a small portion, the other poison clouds would instantly corrode him.

After all, this is one of the most poisonous things in the world!

The most outrageous thing does not stop there; some Green Scale Seven Absolute Flowers have already evolved into Bilin Nine Absolute Flowers, and looking at those dense flowers, Su Yu only felt that his difficulty seemed to have multiplied several times over.

Su Yu knew that his intrusion today was by no means in vain. At the very least, it allowed him to figure out the entire layout and also see the terrifying nature of the miasma poison cloud of the Green Scale Seven Absolute Flowers; if he had boasted from the start that he knew the map and the scale of the risks and had rushed in headlong, he imagined his fate now would be no better than those Soul Masters who had become part of the poison cloud.

A great halberd composed entirely of fragments appeared in Su Yu's hand, and Su Yu stomped heavily with his feet; an invisible force spread out accordingly, and within a radius of several hundred meters, snowflakes began to appear at a speed visible to the naked eye, subsequently forming a blizzard in the area.

"Boundless Heaven and Earth Ice and Snow Cold!"

These Bilin Nine Absolute Flowers fear the cold, and the power of Extreme Ice that Su Yu is currently using is a comprehensive suppression.

The seven-colored poison miasma is indeed formidable, but as Su Yu's blizzard appeared, they immediately had a tendency to adhere. However, the blizzard itself was constantly gathering, and within this blizzard was contained the might of Extreme Ice.

This caused the seven-colored poison miasma to be greatly suppressed; under the extreme cold of the Extreme Ice, the seven-colored poison miasma rapidly disintegrated, and large swaths of poison mist turned into ice cubes glowing with eerie colors at a speed visible to the naked eye and fell to the ground.

The blizzard dissipated, and an area without poison mist appeared before Su Yu's eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, he activated his Soul Guidance Device and flew rapidly toward the central area.

Seeing that Su Yu was about to approach those Bilin Nine Absolute Flowers, a large amount of poison cloud gathered once again and bombarded the place where Su Yu was located.

"This is endless, isn't it!"

"Ice Extreme, Boundless!"

An ice-blue long river emerged, and a large amount of soul power continuously gathered toward the Ice Crystal great halberd in Su Yu's hand.

The next instant, the poison cloud instantly swallowed Su Yu.

"Break!"

A loud shout came from within the poison mist, and a hundred-meter-long cold ice river crashed down, instantly splitting the poison mist before him in two!

The moment that cold ice river appeared, the large number of Green Scale Seven Absolute Flowers nearby withered rapidly, and some Green Scale Seven Absolute Flowers that had already become Soul Beasts were frozen into ice sculptures in that instant; viewed from afar, they looked like beautiful works of art.

Noble, deadly!

The cold of the cold ice river swept out, and those Bilin Nine Absolute Flowers that were struggling to resist could no longer block Su Yu with poison mist at this moment; a large amount of seven-colored poison miasma rapidly dissipated, and finally, an absolutely safe domain appeared within a radius of several hundred meters around Su Yu.

"I'm exhausted; this damn thing turns out to be not at all as easy to deal with as in the original work. If it weren't for my sufficient soul power, I would have died on the road by now."

Su Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, looking at the shivering Bilin Nine Absolute Flowers not far in front of him with a maniacal smile.

"Still want to run?"

An Ice Crystal great halberd landed in front of those Green Scale Seven Absolute Flowers and Bilin Nine Absolute Flowers that wanted to escape.

A once-in-a-lifetime series.

The story is long, but it will always come to an end.
