My Master Knows It All

However, these ferns were densely covering all the steps, completely filling every inch. Moving at his current speed, unless someone knew the difference and was deliberately counting the number of sawteeth, even beings of the Immortality Regainment Realm wouldn’t notice these distinctions. Even if they did, the ferns wouldn’t attack them, and for the sake of the final treasure, they wouldn’t stop either.

Keep following...

Let them continue to follow; it’s still a bit too early to make a move.

Once they’ve traveled far enough, they won’t be able to escape even if they want to.

Cao Zhen maintained his original speed and continued to move forward.

Unconsciously, he walked for about half the time it takes an incense stick to burn and stopped to look back.

The cultivators from the four major clans following behind weren’t foolish; they didn’t group together but spread out. This way, if danger arose, they each had a chance to escape.

Unfortunately for them, they would not have that chance.

Behind him, experts from various clans watched as the Demon Bull Thousand Slayer came to a halt, each showing a look of displeasure.

”Demon Bull Thousand Slayer, why have you stopped!”

”Demon Bull Thousand Slayer, don’t you continue onward!”

”Do you want to die?”

Cao Zhen, hearing the curses from the experts of the four clans around him, slowly extended a palm, then curled four fingers inward, leaving only the middle finger upright as he gestured an internationally recognized sign to the experts. He shouted loudly, ”Die? I do want to die, but I can’t, the dead will only be you!”

As his words fell, flames gathered around him and suddenly rushed towards the experts of the four clans in the distance.

”This Demon Bull, he’s crazy to attack us!”

”This Demon Bull can use flames?”

”So what if he can use flames? This kind of spell won’t harm us!”

Among the four clans, the most skilled experts from the Prison Clan waved their hands, and instantly, black mist shot out from their hands, coalescing into a large black net in the void to block the path of the approaching flames.

The clusters of flames, upon touching the net, seemed to enter an endless black sea, making a series of hissing sounds before being extinguished completely.

Although the flames were extinguished, in the next moment, under the feet of each cultivator present, the ferns that had been passive all along suddenly began to surge. They seemed to awaken from a millennial slumber, instantly wrapping around all the cultivators present, including Cao Zhen. Their branches and leaves trembled continuously, releasing waves of pitch-black poisonous gas with each shake.

The Azure Light fern here was too abundant; in just a moment, the black poisonous gas had filled this entire area.

”What is this?”

”Damn it, why are these ferns suddenly attacking!”

”Their stems, how come they are so tough!”

”Poisonous gas, this poisonous gas, it’s terrifying!”

”Quick, cut these stems!”

The poison experts from the four major clans were shocked, each exhibiting their techniques to sever these stems. Venerable Chi Yi frantically released flames, trying to burn away the stems.

Under the burning flames, the stems around him were quickly severed, but as his flames fell, more stems of the Azure Light fern encroached, and within one breath, he was wrapped like a dumpling.

More terrifying, the edges of these stems were sawtooth-like, and the sharp sawteeth cut into his flesh, injecting toxins into his body through the cuts.

Not only him, but the surrounding experts, after cutting the stems wrapping them, became entangled by even more stems.

Cao Zhen allowed himself to be wrapped by these Azure Light ferns without releasing any immortal energy. He looked at the four alien clans in the distance and sneered, ”What? Is it strange to you why these things suddenly attacked?

I’m not afraid to tell you, these ferns attacking you are the Azure Light ferns, all of which contain potent poison. However, as long as you simply walked over them, they wouldn’t attack you.

But once someone releases a large amount of immortal energy, they awaken and attack fiercely, the more immortal energy released, the more brutal their assault.

Don’t even think about trying to eliminate all these Azure Light ferns; on the stairs of this tower, all the Azure Light ferns will surge to attack.

And below, those Azure Light ferns continue to provide nutrients for the Azure Light ferns. You kill one Azure Light fern, and immediately a new one will emerge.

So, now, the best thing you can do is stand still and wait for death.”

All around, the alien clansmen, upon hearing this, looked around and indeed saw far fewer Azure Light ferns attacking those cultivators who hadn’t released immortal energy.

”So, are we just supposed to stand still and let these things attack us?”

”Like this, who can withstand it?”

”Damn Demon Bull Thousand Slayer, are you trying to take us down with you? These poisonous gases will affect you too, and they will attack you as well!”

”Demon Bull Thousand Slayer, I’m from the Beast Clan just like you, and there are several Beast Clan experts here; do you want to kill your own people?”
