"You escaped my trapping formation. That counts as passing!"
The black shadow let out a droning roar. With a sway of its body, thousands upon thousands of identical figures appeared, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.
"This is a plant-type lifeform, like the Heavenly Heart Vine!"
Nie Yun saw through the black shadow's true form at a glance.
It was neither a divine beast nor a Heavenly Dao Beast, but a plant-type lifeform.
He was no stranger to such lifeforms. Back when he was in the Six Paths of Heaven and Earth, he had obtained one and fought alongside it.
"I am the Sky Devouring Vine. You must pass through within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea without touching my vines to enter the next stage. If you fail, you will be teleported back and repeat the process endlessly!"
The black shadow's voice continued to ring out.
"The time it takes to drink a cup of tea?"
Nie Yun's expression darkened.
The Sky Devouring Vine before him stretched for who knew how many billions of kilometers. Even flying at full speed, he had no idea how long it would take to cross. Completing it within the time it took to drink a cup of tea would already be difficult, and passing through without touching a vine... how was that possible?
However, now that he knew it was a trial, he did not retreat. He took a deep breath, determination filling his eyes.
Whoosh!
With a flicker, he entered the dense mass of vines before him in the next instant.
Rustle!
The moment he entered, a vine suddenly shot out from an area that had been empty a moment ago and lashed against him with a smack, tearing his clothes apart.
