What a Huge Divine Crystal
Lu Qing'an casually put away the Heavenly Dao Puppet he had imprisoned, intending to study it later. Then, staring at the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine below, a faint smile played on his lips, "Is there any need to hide anymore? Come, let me see your true face."
After he finished speaking, the surroundings fell silent.
Wu Ciren flew away quickly into the distance, knowing full well that things were about to get turbulent here, and a major battle might even break out!
She should prioritize her own safety.
"Looks like I'll have to help you before you show your true colors?"
As soon as Lu Qing'an finished speaking, the ground shook violently.
The Primordial Heart-Returning Vine is no longer pretending.
It suddenly trembled violently, and its originally warm and smooth purple-gold vine body suddenly cracked with countless fine lines, as if something terrifying was about to break out of its cocoon.
The next instant, the entire potion twisted and swelled wildly as if it had been doused with boiling oil. The obediently curled-up buds suddenly burst open into ferocious barbs, and the edges of the heart-shaped leaves instantly turned into serrated blades!
"Boom!!!"
The overwhelming Demonic Qi erupted from the ground like a volcanic eruption, blasting scorched earth within Fang Yuan a hundred feet into the sky!
The originally slender vines burst forth with a strong green light, growing a thousand times larger in the light. In the blink of an eye, the main stem became as thick as a palace pillar, and the scales on its surface stood up, transforming into sharp spikes that gleamed with a cold metallic light.
Countless branching vines twisted and shredded the space like a giant python in a dance, each vine tip splitting open a scarlet mouth, spewing out corrosive poisonous mist.
The dense vine netting blocked out the blood-red setting sun, and a blurry human face materialized at the top of the main stem, its features formed by flowing green light.
When it opened its "mouth" woven from vines, a piercing shriek echoed throughout the entire battlefield, the sound waves causing the distant ruins of the celestial palace to collapse with a deafening roar.
Even more terrifying, dense green runes appeared on the surface of the vines, and these characters moved around as if they were alive.
The ground where the vines originally took root has long since transformed into a bottomless, eerie green vortex. A crystal about half the size of a person can be vaguely seen embedded deep within the vortex, connected to the vines by thousands of luminous green threads!
The entire demonic vine was like a ferocious beast crawling out of the deepest hell, and the pressure it exuded caused even the remnant souls in the distance to flee in terror!
"Tsk tsk! Tsk tsk tsk!"
Seeing this, Lu Qing'an was both surprised and delighted.
Especially when he looked at that huge wood-attribute Divine Crystal, the green light appeared in his eyes, making his eyes glow with a green light.
Half a person's size!
It was more than twice the size of the largest Divine Crystal he had ever obtained!
I never expected to encounter such a large Divine Crystal here.
They made a killing!
Thinking of this, he turned to look at Wu Ciren, wondering, was Wu Ciren luckier, or was he luckier?
Wu Ciren also deserves credit for this, and we can give Wu Ciren a share later.
Lu Qing'an's gaze returned to the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine.
This thing is very powerful right now, much stronger than the Saber God after he went mad, and even stronger than the current energy body.
It was so powerful that even if Li Cangxuan and his group had come, they would have been completely annihilated in an instant before this Primordial Heart-Returning Vine!
"Only Primordial Heart-Returning Vine's hundreds of millions of years old can withstand such immense energy from this Divine Crystal. Now, this Primordial Heart-Returning Vine has essentially transformed into Ominous Living Being. Even if I remove the Divine Crystal later, the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine's strength will remain at this level. It seems a bit of a waste to use it for alchemy."
He was tempted to refine it, perhaps to become a protector for the children, or even a barbed wire for the courtyard wall.
The greening rate can be greatly increased.
"Perhaps we don't need to use the whole plant for alchemy. Let's take it back and have Dao of Alchemy Master take a look. Maybe we can use just a portion for alchemy!"
He actually hopes that's the case, otherwise it would be too much of a loss.
Unless the Saber God Saber God is healed and can obtain an even larger piece of Divine Crystal for him.
With this in mind, his gaze burned as he looked at the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine, a giant vine that was waving and attacking him the moment it came.
Upon seeing this, Wu Ciren shouted, "Fellow Daoist, be careful!"
She had never seen such a powerful attack!
This is probably even more powerful than when the Saber God went mad!!
But as soon as she finished reminding him, she saw Lu Qing'an facing the earth-shattering power, and he only slightly raised his eyelids.
"Little fellow, you're quite impatient. In that case, I'll take you in for now."
He seemed not to hear Wu Ciren speak, or perhaps he simply didn't care.
When hundreds of poisonous vines, powerful enough to pierce through the Peak Great Emperor Realm, swept in, he casually stretched out his left hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and all the vines seemed to crash into an invisible chasm.
Then it exploded with a bang three zhang away from him, and dark green liquid rained down like a storm!
"It's quite crisp."
Lu Qing'an chuckled softly, and suddenly a ten-thousand-foot-wide rift opened up in the void behind him.
A towering, earth-shattering demonic figure slowly rose, its shadowy head, adorned with a twelve-tasseled crown, piercing the gray misty sky. As its gigantic feet, wreathed in chaotic energy, descended, the entire Battle Ruins Continent trembled.
The once all-encompassing Primordial Heart-Returning Vine, before this demonic shadow, was like a child standing before a mountain, and that mountain was this enormous demonic shadow!
The two are completely incomparable!
The demonic figure merely leaned down slightly, its crimson eyes, larger than the sun and moon, fixed upon the figure. The Primordial Heart-Returning Vine then let out a dying cry, and all its tendrils frantically retracted, trying to burrow into the ground!
"Are you scared now?"
Lu Qing'an reached out with his right hand and grabbed at the air. The enormous demonic shadow made the same move, and a pitch-black ball formed from boundless Demonic Qi flew out from the heaven-destroying giant hand, which slammed hard onto the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine. The Demonic Qi clung to the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine like a maggot clinging to a bone.
Finally, it formed another giant black sphere.
The Primordial Heart-Returning Vine was also imprisoned inside the black sphere, and no matter how it attacked, it could not break through the black sphere's restrictions!
After firmly imprisoning the Primordial Heart-Returning Vine, Lu Qing'an controlled the black ball to fly towards him. As the black ball approached him, its size decreased exponentially, until it was only the size of a fist when it reached him.
Dark gold sealing runes flowed across the surface of the small ball, and occasionally a bulge would appear before being suppressed back down.
"Stop struggling. Even if you were ten times stronger, you still wouldn't be able to get out."
Lu Qing'an gently tossed the black ball in his hand, played with it for a moment, and then the terrifying demonic shadow behind him disappeared into the void.
This also indicates that the battle is over.
In reality, there was no battle at all; it was a one-sided affair from beginning to end.
"I can't let the Divine Crystal stay with you any longer. Every time you refine some, I'll lose out. I need to extract it first."
Thinking of this, Lu Qing'an gently tapped the black sphere with his finger. As he withdrew his finger, a green light flew out from the seemingly miniature Primordial Heart-Returning Vine inside the black sphere.
Finally, it flew out of the black sphere and transformed into a huge emerald green crystal, about half the size of a person, which floated in front of him.
He knew very well that this crystal must have become sentient, so he had already used several barriers to seal off the four sides as quickly as possible to prevent this Divine Crystal from escaping into the void like the last Divine Crystal.
After all, he wouldn't make the same mistake twice.
After Lu Qing'an finished handling everything, he turned to Wu Ciren and said calmly, "Alright, it's all done. Come on over."
Wu Ciren froze on the spot.
Is this even human?!
