Chapter 66: The Depths of Heaven and Earth

  In this dark red vine-woven giant net, Luo didn't think that the other party could pose any threat to himself. He looked up at the vines on his head with a calm expression, constantly thickening and growing.

  Innumerable rattans hang down from above, like a group of snakes with their heads held high, shaking back and forth, extending their crimson cores.

  Luò stretched out his hand and pointed, the Golden Scissors within his body transformed into a flowing light, shooting towards the top of the vines. The Blood Vines violently shook, extending branch-like tendrils that wrapped around the Golden Scissors. Those branches that came into contact with the golden light of the scissors immediately turned to dust, but some were lucky and managed to break through the light, wrapping tightly around the rapidly moving Golden Scissors.

  The golden dragon scissors transformed into two agile dragons, charging left and right, tearing apart everything around them. A black-red mist mixed with a pungent smell spread from the broken vines. The air above was filled with countless fragments and thick fog. The golden dragon scissors suddenly charged towards the top, but the vines produced a strong rebound force, suppressing the speed of the golden dragon scissors. After a brief dizziness, at least 30-40 layers of vines were broken through. Those vines showed tenacious vitality, wrapping the golden dragon scissors in layer after layer with a writhing motion, forming an unknown number of concentric spheres. The vines continued to increase, trapping the golden dragon scissors in a limited space.

  Luó Huì sighed in amazement at the wonders of creation, never expecting that this small vampire vine could trap his innate spiritual treasure.

  That vampire wisteria trembled, and the blood mist in the entire wisteria space was instantly swallowed by the wisteria. The wisteria grew at a visible speed, and at the top of each branch, a flower bud quickly condensed, with countless colors, like a seven-color rainbow lamp hanging above its head.

  Those flowers seem to be blown open by the spring breeze, and they appear to bloom simultaneously. Some are intertwined with each other, while others are extremely red and vibrant, displaying a thousand charms and ten thousand allurements. They release a unique fragrance.

  "Hong Hong"

  These flowers exhaled a strange, eerie mist that was much more vibrant than the one that had existed within the branches earlier. Luo Yu felt as though he was surrounded by an eerie red mist, and many of these red mists were actually seeping into his skin, penetrating deep into his body. He only felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, a feeling of sleepiness rising up in his mind. A faintly crazy thought arose within his heart.

  Luó Huì was greatly shocked. These red, eerie mists could actually penetrate his own protective spiritual energy and were not rejected by it. Moreover, they could also affect the souls of others who came into contact with them. It's not simple. He hastily flipped through and took out a pure white Ice Mountain Snow Lotus.

  One gulp down, a stream of icy pure air circulated within his body, slowly expelling the red mist that had seeped in.

  Luoye's heart skipped a beat. This strange vampire vine was actually able to trap even his deadly weapon, not simple at all. He had indeed underestimated it.

  "Hmph, I'll show you that you're no match for me." As he spoke, a fiery red branch burst out from his body, radiating intense flames.

  The vampire vine seemed to feel the infinite firepower contained within the broken branch, letting out a series of ear-piercing shrieks. Many branches began to contract and quickly retreated deep into the ground.

  Luó Huì sighed in his heart, the subtlety of the world's operation is indeed one thing restrains another. This blood-sucking vine is so powerful, it must not be afraid of the ordinary fire in the world, could this branch have a special origin?

  Luóu infused his divine consciousness into the underground for tens of millions of miles, only to find that the blood-sucking vine had escaped without a trace. After investigating the surrounding area, he didn't discover anything unusual. Just as he was about to leave, he thought again, this blood-sucking vine is so powerful, if it wasn't for his own coincidental possession of something that countered it, perhaps he would still have difficulty gaining the upper hand. This thing could even exchange blows with someone in the Mahāyāna realm who held a Pre-Heavenly Spiritual Treasure without falling behind by half a step, its origins must be extraordinary.

  Perhaps there is a chance, rushing towards the depths of the earth to escape.

  As Luo's gaze penetrated deeper, a faintly red aura gradually appeared in the distance, with threads of blue light within. The aura was densely packed and converged together, forming what seemed to be a gateway between heaven and earth.

  Luóu busy striking out of divine consciousness forward to investigate, his own divine consciousness actually penetrated through the past, without any unusual.

  Luóu cautiously made his way in, a deep and narrow crevice emitting an eerie, biting cold light that seemed to harbor some unknown danger. Not daring to be careless, Luóu hastily placed the Golden Scissors on top of his head, releasing a thread of murderous energy. At this moment, a stream of icy air within the passageway transformed into a blue ice dragon, which suddenly pounced towards him. Luóu extended his finger and pointed, unleashing a massive force from his fingertips that exploded with a loud crash, causing the ice dragon to shatter instantly and dissipate into cold air that dispersed in all directions.

  This cold and gloomy energy, for other living beings may be unbearable, slightly evil will be invaded by the cold air, frozen to death. But for Luo Huo, a creature born in the underworld, eliminating and refining them is simply a trivial matter.

  As he continued to move forward in the passage, Luo Hua felt his consciousness suddenly expanding and dispersing, with a sense of clarity in his mind. Before him appeared a vast space shrouded in red mist.

  Inside, there was a faint glow flickering, black and red vine branches appeared in the red mist, rolling and tumbling, as these vines wriggled, the red mist grew thicker.

  Luó's eyes flashed, this blood-sucking vine was incredibly vast, could it also be a divine root nurtured by the heavens and earth? He took a deep breath, then suddenly blew forward, instantly causing a strange gust of wind to erupt, and a large amount of red mist was immediately blown away. However, as soon as the red mist dispersed, a large amount was produced once again.

  The scene before him was even more astonishing, for on this enormous vampire vine, branches stretched out like countless tentacles, and on each branch, there was a corpse of a living being. They were densely packed, too numerous to count, some had completely withered, while others were contracting and expanding in a rhythmic motion.

  Carefully observing the corpse, countless thorns crawled all over it. These plants were constantly squirming, and as they squirmed, the bodies of those creatures obviously withered, but then quickly recovered, cycling in a cycle of poison. Under this cycle, red mist rapidly dispersed from those plants.

  Luoye's heart moved, these giant vampire vines were absorbing the essence of the living beings' bodies, and after sucking them clean, the living beings would turn to dust. Such a large scale, it must not be just for the proliferation of the vampire vines themselves, perhaps it was a means of nurturing another powerful divine spirit.

  This creature must not be favored by heaven, otherwise it would not have been born in this way.

  Luó's right hand waved, a section of branches floated out of his body, and together with the golden scissors, they floated above his head. The branch shot out a flame, which spread in front of him. He didn't want to harm these plants, but only wanted to clear a path. As soon as the firelight flashed, those plants immediately retreated. In the center of this space, a vampire vine with deep purple body and infinite vitality stretched out twelve thick branches, extending into the depths of the earth.

  "Hmm, twelve soul auras, and a violent aura of tyranny. They are also the creations of heaven and earth, but it seems that the heavenly way does not want them to be born, yet cannot forcibly change the rules of heaven and earth, so they can only let them live or die on their own. Haha, then I'll go against the heavens and make a contribution to your birth."

  In the depths of the underworld, Luohu's true body opened its eyes and launched a spell, relying on the risk of exhausting his entire body's essence and blood to cultivate, fiercely blasting towards the heavenly seal. This was an attempt to directly open up a gap, connecting the birthplace of these twelve ferocious souls.

  In a void space far away in the depths of the universe, there is a blue palace like an illusion. That is the origin of heaven and earth.

  In the blue palace, countless light spots floated, among which several clusters of light were different from others.

  One was golden yellow, like a sun floating in the high sky, while the others were much smaller. One emitted a mysterious yellow light, another a piercing red glow. There was also a small white one. But all of them transmitted life's vibrations.

  That blood-colored light cluster transmitted a divine thought: "You really aren't the Heavenly Dao, are you?"

  That mysterious yellow light cluster transmitted a sigh: "I've said it countless times, no, at most I'm just the guardian of the Heavenly Way."

  "That Blood Light Orb said: 'Who is that Heavenly Dao? You're so powerful, but isn't the Heavenly Dao even more powerful?'"

  "The Heavenly Way is the law governing the operation of heaven and earth. It does not have a self-consciousness of its own; its consciousness is the collective consciousness of all beings in heaven and earth."

  "What is the purpose of a cultivator's cultivation if they can't surpass the Heavenly Dao?"

  The yellow light cluster sank and pondered for a long time, and the divine thought came: "Maybe it can be done, who knows in this world? There are many powers between heaven and earth, each power contains the will of the Tao. The cultivator feels and seeks this will of the Tao, makes himself compatible with this will, borrows the power of the law and rules of the operation of heaven and earth, and makes himself strong, transcending life and death. If one transcends the laws of nature, it is also transcending the Heavenly Way!"

  "That blood-colored light cluster muttered to itself: 'I've been here for tens of millions of years, it's too desolate here. After thinking about it for so many years, I still want to return to the Desolate Continent. Moreover, I thought I died to prevent that demon from being born, you think of a way to revive me, at least I can still contribute to suppressing that demon.'"

  The dark yellow light cluster did not speak, paused for a moment, and sighed: "Forget it, can't keep you from leaving." The dark yellow light cluster moved, pulling out a thread of golden light from the golden light cluster in the high air and projecting it into the blood-colored light cluster.

  That blood-colored light sphere was suddenly pushed out of the blue great hall by a powerful force.

  That mysterious yellow light cluster muttered to itself: "This rebirth in the Yellow Spring's Blood Sea, is it good or bad? It knows."

  After a long time, the slightly smaller white light group transmitted the divine sense "Since you already know that Huang Quan has been reborn this time, it will definitely produce variables. Why let him leave?"

  "It is impossible to go against heaven's will, this is the intention of the heavenly way."

  "Isn't the Way of Heaven unconscious?"

  "Perhaps you are unwilling to leave!" The other side fell silent. The Xuan Huang light group transmitted its divine sense again: "When you can merge with the light group in the sky, that is when you will leave."
