The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 515 Demonic Plant Demon Lord

East of the deep black stone forest in the Bone Realm.

This is a swampy area filled with miasma, making it impossible for the spiritual consciousness to leave the body.

If Shangguan Heng had not broken through to the half-step fusion realm and awakened the power of his soul, it would have been extremely difficult to move in here.

The soul's perception is very sensitive. After stepping into the depths of the black stone forest, Shangguan Heng realized that there was a powerful demon plant hidden here.

He had been keeping an eye on this terrifyingly powerful demon plant, but found that it seemed to be dead and had not moved in the past few months.

Shangguan Heng didn’t know how to lead the demon plant to the second formation, but time was tight and Shangguan Heng didn’t have much time to think about it.

The previous battle lasted only ten days. The army of monks will rest for two more days before they can attack them.

If there was no demon plant at that time, the twenty or so of them would have to face an army of 30,000 Void Refining cultivators. Even with the support of the formation, they would not be able to stop them.

Shangguan Heng gritted his teeth and thought to himself, "There's no other way. I can only use force!"

Shangguan Heng mobilized his magic power, and a force of thunder began to spread. He aimed at the center of the swamp and shouted in his heart: "Thunder rainbow pierces the sun!" A beam of lightning shot straight into the swamp.

Boom, boom, boom, the earth began to shake, followed by a roar of "Ah~", and a creature of extremely huge size emerged from the swamp.

Shangguan Heng was horrified: "A demon plant of the demon lord level?!" He had already provoked it, what else could he do? He immediately activated the Thunder Flash, but before he could run a hundred meters, a green willow branch as thick as an arm wrapped around Shangguan Heng's ankle.

Shangguan Heng raised his hand as a knife, and a lightning blade chopped down, but what he cut was not the willow branch, but his own calf!

Shangguan Heng knew very well that the branches of the demon plant at the demon lord level were not something he could just cut off now, so he decisively cut off his own calf.

Then he dodged a few times and moved more than 10,000 meters away. He turned back to take a peek and saw a willow monster at the demon lord level, which was 50 meters tall and exuded the breath of life!

Just this one glance, Shangguan Heng was almost frightened to death. Countless willow branches were chasing him desperately, and it seemed that they would catch up with him in less than a breath.

Shangguan Heng quickly activated the Thunder Escape Technique, his speed soared, and in the blink of an eye he escaped from the willow monster's attack range.

Shangguan Heng thought as he ran: "No wonder there are no living creatures nearby. I guess they all know that this is the Demon Lord's territory and they dare not approach."

The demon lord could escape Shangguan Heng's perception, which naturally led to Shangguan Heng's misjudgment. Fortunately, Shangguan Heng did not dare to get too close, but directly used magic to lure out the demon plant, otherwise it would really not be able to escape.

The willow demon was hit by Shangguan Heng's magic. Although no one caused any harm to it, the willow demon was still extremely angry.

It has been the king of this area for many years. This is the first time it encounters a prey that dares to attack it. How could it let the prey go easily?

Countless tree roots emerged from the swamp. Although the willow demon looked clumsy, it was actually no slower than Shangguan Heng. It dragged its huge body and chased after him with bangs.

Its willow branches can only extend to ten thousand meters at most. Shangguan Heng has now escaped ten thousand meters away, and the distance is still widening.

The willow monster's branches continuously rolled up hard minerals from the road and threw them in the direction of Shangguan Heng's escape.

Each blow had a force of over two million, and there was a constant sound of banging. In order to avoid the boulders, Shangguan Heng had to dodge left and right, and his speed was obviously slowed down.

Seeing that the willow branch was about to catch up, Shangguan Heng turned around and formed a seal, his eyes flashing with lightning, and roared: "Thunder magic, Ten Thousand Thunder Attraction!"

After the spell was cast, Shangguan Heng immediately used the Thunder Escape Technique and ran away. His move was not to kill the Demon Lord, but to delay the speed of the willow demon's branches.

However, the thunder-attribute attack seemed to have little effect on the willow branches. It just made the branches pause slightly, and then they chased after it madly again.

Shangguan Heng now regretted that he had not learned some fire-attributed magic. He originally thought that one lightning could defeat everything, but now that he encountered this kind of wood-attributed demon plant, the power of the lightning was greatly reduced.

Shangguan Heng said helplessly: "Since my magic doesn't work, I can only use talismans. What a pity!"

Shangguan Heng flipped his hand and a blood-red talisman appeared in his hand. He said with some pain: "This is what my family gave me to save my life. Now I can only use it here!"

Shangguan Heng made up his mind and pinched the talisman with two fingers. The talisman immediately glowed brightly and a force of fire began to spread.

The willow demon plant chasing behind him seemed to sense a hint of danger and hurriedly tightened its willow branches, but it was too late.

Shangguan Heng threw the talisman back and said angrily, "You are chasing me so closely, let me have a taste of the Holy Fire Talisman of the Holy Talisman Sect!"

This is a talisman drawn by the Grand Elder of the Holy Talisman Sect, a great cultivator in the late stage of fusion. Naturally, its power is not something that ordinary cultivators can withstand.

The talisman was cast and divine fire poured down from the sky. Although the willow demon had a premonition, facing the sudden divine fire, it could only wrap its trunk with willow branches and let the divine fire hit its body.

Seeing that the talisman had finally blocked the evil plant, Shangguan Heng quickly rushed in the designated direction.

After a dozen breaths, the main trunk of the demon plant shook vigorously, throwing away all the burning branches. It looked in the direction where Shangguan Heng left with gloomy eyes, and chased after him with a roar.

On the other side, the Beast Taming Sect and the army of monks had finally rested enough.

Seeing that everyone had finished their work, Situ Xian shouted, "Let's destroy the formation right now and see where they can hide!"

Gu He quickly sent a message: "Young Master, we can't let our people rush to the front this time. Let them go first."

Situ Xian replied, "Of course I know, but if none of us move, wouldn't it be too obvious?"

Gu He thought about it and thought so. Before he could say anything, he heard Situ Xian continue to say, "How about Uncle Gu, you go over and take the lead. You are at the highest level here. Come back soon."

Gu He: “…” Although his cultivation was high, he was also afraid that Shangguan Heng would fight to the death, and if so, he would drag some people down with him, and that would be the end of him.

There was no other way. Since the young master had given the order, Gu He had to go ahead no matter what. He rode on the Flame Lion and led the way, shouting, "Follow me, break the formation, and Shangguan Heng will have nowhere to hide!"

About thirty thousand monks immediately rushed towards the formation, and tens of thousands of people began to attack.

The sound of the collision of magic resounded throughout heaven and earth, and the formation was completely destroyed in less than a quarter of an hour.

Gu He quickly rode the lion and retreated. He was afraid that Shangguan Heng would make a fatal blow and it would be bad luck if he was dragged down with him.

However, until the formation was leveled, no cultivator from the Shangguan family appeared.

Situ Xian felt like he had been tricked. He gritted his teeth and said, "Find! We must find Shangguan Heng. I don't believe he can escape from the black stone forest!"
