What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 489
489 The Wood Spirit Root Is Here (2)
Outside, this was a valley that was constantly getting deeper. In fact, this was indeed the case. Furthermore, the change in height was even greater. Song Shi had fallen for more than ten thousand feet, but he had yet to reach the bottom.
The changes in space made this place very vast. The vegetation was messy, and it was impossible to determine the location with his thoughts. Song Shi quickly lost his way.
He went deeper without batting an eyelid. The vegetation grew even taller, from a thousand feet to a thousand feet tall.
“Other than the plants that devour life force, aren’t there still demons?”
Song Shi found it strange. Why hadn’t he met any after coming in for so long?
A river began to appear on the ground, flowing into the distance along the valley. This river water was black and filled with a strange aura.
From the information Fu Yuhua had given him, this river was called the Fallen God River. It could also devour life force and was even more terrifying than plants. It was rumored that even one’s Primordial Spirit would not be able to escape after falling in.
Seeing this, he was sure that the guy outside couldn’t see this place. He flew towards a towering tree and landed on the tree trunk without retreating or avoiding it.
A terrifying devouring power erupted, and Song Shi’s body was sucked until light appeared. Wisps of Will-O-Wisp fought to converge on the tree trunk.
The entire tree trembled slightly and emitted a brilliant light. White hair appeared on Song Shi’s head, and wrinkles appeared on his skin. His body shriveled at a visible speed.
“How terrifying!”
Song Shi was shocked. This thing was even more terrifying than the Land of Extinction. The Land of Extinction only devoured Nomological power and mental thoughts, but this place actually devoured life. It was a direct death.
He felt that this was the method of a Demon Clan. Devouring the life force of living creatures was even more brilliant than the method of the Blood Demon Clan.
“Blood Demon Clan?”
Song Shi revealed a look of contemplation. He had cultivated the Bloodseeker Sutra before, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it felt.
He realized that the power here was only slightly higher than the Bloodseeker Sutra. If he could comprehend some of it, he might be able to break through faster.
Click, click.
A soft sound sounded in his ears. Song Shi was stunned to see that the tree that had devoured his vitality was growing rapidly, clearly growing taller.
“Damn you, so you’re using my life force as nourishment…”
Song Shi cursed weakly because he was about to be swallowed until he had no strength to speak.
In a short period of time, he had become skin and bones. The light in his eyes was dim, and his life force had been severely drained. If this continued, he would definitely die.
“It’s quite fast. I can unlock a new death farming method. I wonder what rewards I’ll get after being sucked to death like this.”
Song Shi had an expectant look on his face. He did not struggle and accepted his death peacefully.
The tree he was on grew rapidly. Its leaves kept sprouting and its branches expanded, turning into branches. The huge tree that was originally ten thousand feet tall grew to twenty thousand feet in an instant.
“Ding… You have been devoured and died. You have awakened a top-grade wood-type Stats Spiritual Root… You will be revived in three seconds.”
Song Shi’s death had indeed brought about a new notification. Furthermore, his resurrection had retracted a portion of the tree’s undigested power, shrinking its height by more than half.
He chose to revive on the spot. As soon as he revived, his vitality was continued to be devoured. Song Shi’s expression was strange. “I can’t believe this. When I was cultivating the Dian Cang Sword Technique, I was still saying that I didn’t have a Wood Stats Spiritual Root and couldn’t fully unleash the power of the sword technique. In the end, I actually awakened it today.”
Before he died, he was curious about what reward the new method of death would bring him. In the end, it was this Wood Stats Spiritual Root.
He thought for a moment. This reward was reasonable because these plants were of the wood attribute, and the wood attribute originally represented vitality. It was normal for him to awaken the wood attribute spiritual root that represented vitality after his vitality was devoured.
His current cultivation level was relatively high, and the power here was also very terrifying. Once he awakened, it would be top-grade. If he did it again, it might be the corresponding Physique.
He looked at the dense trees around him. Every blade of grass and tree here represented the creatures that had ruthlessly devoured other creatures.
He sighed. “How many living beings must have been devoured to grow so many strange plants?”
He became even more curious about the Fallen God Valley. What was the situation that formed such a special terrain? Did it happen by chance or was it intentional?
The former was considered normal. As for the latter, Song Shi could not help but think about it when he thought about how the demons could move around here.
He changed his posture and landed between the huge tree branches. He lay down leisurely and let the tree devour him.
Such cooperative behavior made it easy for the tree to devour his life force. It continued to grow taller.
After Song Shi died, he revived again. Green light emitted from his body as runes circulated. They contained the power of the Wood Stats, and Song Shi obtained the Wood Spirit Body.
This Physique made the vitality contained in his body even more exuberant. After persisting for a while longer and dying, the height of the tree had already exceeded twenty thousand feet. Its head immediately surpassed the surrounding trees, making him feel like a crane among chickens.
Song Shi ignored him and continued to let the tree devour his life force. His Wood Spirit Body transformed into a Wood Divine Body after death after death. Finally, it reached the Wood Saint Body. The life force in his body became endless like an abyss.
He felt as if he had become a special tree outside that contained abundant vitality. However, he could not devour vitality. At the very least, he could not actively devour it. He had to cooperate with the cultivation technique. He still had to devour the essence in the blood and not directly devour vitality.
This made him even more curious about the rules here. It shouldn’t be as simple as wood Stats.
After dying many times, the tree that had devoured his life force had already transformed into a towering tree that was more than one hundred thousand feet tall.
However, the strange thing was that no matter how high it was, it could not leave the Fallen God Valley’s space.
“What’s the use of these things? They only devour vitality?”
Song Shi refused to believe it and directly chopped off a piece of wood. It was still like the leaves at the beginning, withering the moment it left.
He looked at the towering tree that had already grown to ten feet tall. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was not pure grass and trees. It was more like a divine power or spell.
“It can’t be!”
Song Shi was shocked by his own thoughts. He probed for a while in bewilderment, but he still could not see through it.
He looked down at the river water that had the same effect but seemed to be more powerful. It shot out of the tree and fell into it with a plop.
A terrifying scene appeared. Song Shi’s flesh and blood began to melt. The speed at which his vitality was devoured far exceeded the grass and trees beside him.
“It’s even scarier!”
Song Shi concluded that the river water was even more terrifying, and will cause him to die faster. However, the reward was still similar, indicating that the power of the river water and plants came from the same source.
Not long after, he turned into a skeleton.
He changed the resurrection point and died again and again in the river.
“It’s so comfortable. It’s like taking a bath.”
Song Shi lay leisurely in the river. He did not care about anything else and was not in a hurry to explore.
If Fu Yuhua knew that Song Shi had run in to die, he would definitely complain.
Now that Song Shi was court death, he allowed the plants to grow and the river to become turbulent, gradually affecting the projection of the Fallen God Valley outside.
Outside.
Fu Yuhua waited for a long time, but there was no reaction. His heart sank.
“Could something have happened? Why isn’t there anything happening?”
He stared at the bottom of the lake. It was quiet. He could not see Song Shi, nor was there anything unusual.
At this moment, the island in the center suddenly erupted with light. A cultivator flew out and looked at the bottom of the lake in surprise.
The central island was guarded by the people left behind by the Black Tortoise Palace. At this moment, the highest cultivator who came out was a Supreme Saint. They quickly arrived at the area where an abnormality occurred.
His gaze was awkward as he quickly scanned his surroundings, but he did not find any useful information.
“What’s going on? These plants that devour vitality are growing rapidly. Could it be that something abnormal has happened?”
He frowned and muttered. He immediately activated a token. Rays of light shot out from the island in four directions.
“There’s an abnormal situation. Fellow Daoists Guardians of the various sects, please come over.”
He shouted at the same time. Soon, streaks of light shot out from the surroundings and converged on him.
Fu Yuhua was already outside. When the Black Tortoise Palace sent out the signal, he immediately knew of it and rushed over.
He used Divine Teleportation Footwork. When the cultivators from the south saw this, they looked at him in surprise.
Fu Yuhua did not notice the other party’s surprise. At this moment, he felt a little guilty because he had just sent Song Shi in when something seemed to have happened here. It was so serious that it actually caused enough commotion to gather the various large sects.
“Palace Master Wen Jue, what happened?” Fu Yuhua was the first to ask.
“Look at the projection of the Fallen God Valley.”
Wen Jue, who was wearing a scholar’s robe, pointed at the lake. The situation inside had obviously changed. Several trees had clearly grown taller, far exceeding the surrounding vegetation.
