The star river flames also spread out wildly, forming wave after wave of flame waves around Ning Cheng’s body. These waves of flame waves burnt all the tentacles split from the Spirit Devouring Vine into flying ashes, but the huge Spirit Devouring Vine at the bottom of the Black River was like an undefeatable little force.
No matter how many tentacles were burnt away by the star river flames, more tentacles spread out the next moment. Ning Cheng could clearly feel that the endless Spirit Devouring Vines in the Black River were all supplying this insanely huge Spirit Devouring Vine King with Yuan Qi.
At the beginning, the Star River Flame and the tentacles splitting out from the Spirit Devouring Vine King could still hold each other. But later on, the tentacles of the Spirit-Devouring Vine King became more and more powerful, not only more and more. The Star River Flame was dwarfed and began to shrink in defence.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, he knew that he absolutely could not go on like this, if he continued like this, the Star River Flame would not be able to hold on.
The Infinite Green Thunder City was a defensive magic treasure, but it was not suitable for defending against this Spirit Devouring Vine King. This kind of thing was simply too terrifying, once it wrapped around the Limitless Green Thunder City, it could even strangle the Artifact Spirit of the Limitless Green Thunder City.
No wonder the man with the bearded face had eagerly fled, that fellow had long known the terrifying nature of the Spirit Devouring Vine King. If that guy hadn’t left, he would probably be in a worse position than himself at this time.
This could only be blamed on the fact that he had not prepared adequately when he had come in search of the Unsullied Water.
Ning Cheng was tempted to sacrifice his Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow, but in this situation, his Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow might not necessarily be able to shoot the Spirit Devouring Vine King. Once the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow could not shoot and kill the Spirit Devouring Vine King, he would most likely lose the Five-coloured Star Splitting Arrow. Once the Five-coloured Star-Splitting Arrow was entangled and rolled away by these Spirit-Devouring Vines, it would be very difficult for him to retrieve it.
The spatial rules here were also much more solid than the ones outside of Mount Calvary, Ning Cheng was certain that he would not be able to tear the realm space here at all.
“BANG BANG BANG ……” The star river flames burned countless Spirit Devouring Vine tentacles causing a dull banging sound. Despite this, the space bound by the Spirit Devouring Vine tentacles was getting smaller and smaller. In the middle of this space, Ning Cheng could only feel the sound of burning flames and the terrifying devouring intent of the Spirit Devouring Vine.
The smaller the space was, the more powerful the Spirit Devouring Vine King became. Ning Cheng was a little nostalgic for his Wunderkind Ghost Vine King, but unfortunately, his Wunderkind Ghost Vine King was still in a deep sleep. Even if it woke up, I was afraid that it would not be able to compete with this Spirit Devouring Vine King.
The fire spirit of the Star River Flame finally transmitted an intention to Ning Cheng, and it was ready to kill a way out of the Black River.
Ning Cheng hesitated slightly before stopping the Star River Flame from doing so. The Nameless Flame was still too low in rank and could not burn the Spirit Devouring Vine King right now. If they simply relied on the Star River Flame to open a path, it was likely that they would be devoured by the Spirit Devouring Vine King while they were still above the Black River.
If they wanted the Star River Flame to open the way, they would have to severely damage the Spirit Devouring Vine King.
The Creation Divine Spear, the Infinite Green Thunder City and the Five-coloured Splitting Star Arrow, and even the Seven Bridges divine Ability, Ning Cheng thought around for a while before finally deciding to use the Breaking Rule Finger that he had just comprehended.
The Rule Breaking Finger tore through the rules of heaven and earth and controlled all the subtle changes under the rules, so it was most suitable for dealing with the Spirit Devouring Vine King. As long as he could feel the changes in the Devouring Spirit Vine King’s dao rhyme rules, he would be sure to hit the Devouring Spirit Vine King’s weak point with one finger.
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng grabbed a few Extreme Divine Spirit Veins and threw them into the Star River Flame, while giving a thought to the Star River Flame, allowing it to once again raise the strength of the flame by a notch.
The Star River Flame had long been impatient of being entangled by the Spirit Devouring Vine King, and with the help of several Extreme Divine Spirit Veins, the flaming waves that had been contracted up, once again spread out wildly, forming wave after wave of flame.
The Spirit Devouring Vine King was blasted by this suddenly enhanced wave of flame, and its wildly spreading tentacles gave a slight lurch. Ning Cheng blasted out with a finger in this split second.
The Breaking Rule Finger broke the rules of heaven and earth and tore apart all dao rhythms.
As the finger blasted out, a clear picture of the rules of heaven and earth appeared in Ning Cheng’s consciousness. At this moment, Ning Cheng clearly felt where the strongest and weakest rules of the Spirit Devouring Vine were, and felt the vitality of the Spirit Devouring Vine’s pivot.
After a finger was blasted out, Ning Cheng’s Divine Essence Dao Rhythm was like a backwards river, gushing out wildly. Rule power gathered wildly under the dao rhyme in front of this finger, forming a terrifying torrent of dao rhyme in an instant.
It was as if it had been emptied, and Ning Cheng then felt endless Dao rhymes and divine energy pouring out wildly after this finger was offered.
“Boom!” Everything in space was silenced and dissipated in front of this finger, and at this moment the surrounding heaven and earth instantly emptied, and the Spirit Devouring Vine King’s wildly spreading and splitting tentacles also stalled at this moment.
The sky and the earth were all stirred by this finger. Any rule in space, whether it be life or death, became sluggish after this finger.
A feeling of extreme weakness came over Ning Cheng, and his heart was shocked. It was not only the strength of the Rule Breaking Finger, but more importantly, his divine essence had dissipated for the most part after this finger, and the sea of consciousness was as if it was empty.
If the Spirit Devouring Vine King came again with the same wild surge as before, Ning Cheng estimated that he could only wait for his death.
Hurry up and go, Ning Cheng’s feet moved and his entire body turned into a shadow. Before the star river flames that were ready to open the way could burn into the illusory tentacles that still existed in front of him, those tentacles were like withered grass, paralyzed.
Ning Cheng crossed out of the Black River without any danger and stood beyond it once more. Seeing the Spirit Devouring Vine King that still had not recovered in the middle of the Black River, Ning Cheng lifted his palm and was somewhat shocked in his heart.
He had tried it once before when he had an epiphany of the Rule Breaking Finger on the Ancient Desolate Void Breaking Tablet. But that time did not consume much of his Qi, nor did it make such a big noise. And now, with this single finger, he had actually made such a ghastly noise that it was unbelievable.
He had comprehended the Broken Rule Divine Aptitude for quite some time, and it had always been one of the main tools in aiding him against his enemies. Back when he was dealing with the underground abyssal demons in the Taiyi Realm, he had used the Rule Breaking divine Avatar to scare off the demons.
He had never expected that an auxiliary divine ability like Breaking the Rules would be so powerful after he had been enlightened into an attack divine ability.
Ning Cheng put down his hand with his heart in his throat, he did not immediately move far away, but looked at the black river in front of him. The finger he had just used had almost destroyed all the rule power that the Spirit Devouring Vine King relied on to attack him, and because of this, he was able to easily walk away from under the space of the tentacles that the Spirit Devouring Vine King had rolled up.
But Ning Cheng would never think that the Spirit Devouring Vine King had been finished off by him, this Spirit Devouring Vine King’s strength seemed to be far above his, it would be strange if it was so easily finished off by him.
Sure enough, after only a few breaths of time, the rift in the middle of the black river turned up one black mist after another. A sound like a cry came out, and the Spirit Devouring Vine that he had blasted as if it had lost its life swayed once again. To Ning Cheng’s surprise, the Spirit Devouring Vine King did not rush after him to the black river, but slowly retracted, and the rift in the middle of the black river slowly disappeared.
In just a few breaths of time, the Black River turned into exactly the same as when he came, as if nothing had happened here. It was still a dry river, and the boundless riverbed was still covered with spirit-devouring vines that looked like black insects. These spirit-devouring vines were twisted together, constantly twisting and fluctuating, disgusting to the extreme.
Ning Cheng took out two Dao Recovery Pills and swallowed them, he did not intend to leave just like that.
Now that he had the means to deal with the Spirit Devouring Vine King, he had to get at least a few more drops of Unsullied Water. With only one drop of Unsullied Water, what if he failed in refining the pills? This place, the Jiaquan Mountain, was not a good place. Who knew if he would be able to come back a second time?
A day later, Ning Cheng’s strength was restored and he once again charged above the Black River. This time he had experience and had prepared himself long ago, once the King of the Devouring Spirit Vine dared to attack him, he would immediately deliver a Breaking Rule Finger.
Perhaps it was because the Devouring Spirit Vine King knew how powerful Ning Cheng was, or perhaps the Devouring Spirit Vine King himself was heavily wounded.
Ning Cheng stayed above the Black River for a full day, but the Spirit Devouring Vine King did not open the Black River again to attack Ning Cheng. Not only that, even the smaller Spirit Devouring Vines on the riverbed of the Black River ignored Ning Cheng’s presence and did not continue to move against him.
Only at the beginning, Ning Cheng was standing on top of the Black River and did not dare to search for the Unsullied Water at will. After waiting for another day, Ning Cheng was convinced that these Spirit Devouring Vines did not dare to make a move against him anymore, before he stepped on the Star River Flame and kept penetrating his divine sense on the riverbed, searching for the Unsullied Water.
After three days had passed, Ning Cheng had searched for a full seven drops of Immaculate Water. Just when Ning Cheng was about to make a bang and search for ten drops of Unsullied Water, the Spirit Devouring Vine on the riverbed swayed once again. A violent mood spread across the riverbed of the Black River, and there was a terrifying power that seemed ready to burst out of the riverbed and entangle him at any moment.
Ning Cheng immediately knew that it was the Spirit Devouring Vine King who was furious, and it looked like he had reached the limit of what the Spirit Devouring Vine King could endure by taking away eight drops of Immaculate Water.
Seeing the good, Ning Cheng did not want to clash with the Devouring Spirit Vine King even though he had the means to deal with it. Now that the Devouring Spirit Vine King did not want him to stay here, he did not hesitate to rush out of the Black River.
Eight drops of Unsullied Water was enough for him, and it was still hard to predict what the consequences would be if he continued to stay here. The Devouring Spirit Vine King’s strength was obviously far above his, and if he remained here uninterestedly, who knew what other horrifying tricks the Devouring Spirit Vine King had up his sleeve?
As expected, after Ning Cheng rushed out of this black river, the violent aura spreading on the black riverbed gradually subsided.
……
It was possible to go and look for Zhong Wuduan and then leave the Jiaquan Mountain.
Even though Ning Cheng had only been at Gajiang Mountain for a short time, he knew that there were countless treasures at Gajiang Mountain. It was just that his strength was nothing more than an ant-like existence for a place like Calvary Mountain. It was not wise to continue to stay here.
Ning Cheng’s body hurriedly vanish and within a very short period of time, he once again returned to where the Desolate Ancient Void Breaking Tablet was located. The Ancient Desolate Void Breaking Stele had already been covered up by a ban, so if Ning Cheng had not known that such a stele existed here before, he would not have been able to find this place.
The concealment restrictions set up by Bitter Fish Sheng and the others really did not pose any threat to Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng easily opened the restriction with just a few formation flags thrown out, and then he dashed into the canyon behind the Ancient Void Breaking Stele.
“The Ancient Desolate Void Breaker Tablet? How could this guy find it?” From afar, a man with a bearded face immediately showed wild joy in his eyes when he saw Ning Cheng flashing into the canyon.
