What If I Can't Die?

"I see!"

Song Shi increasingly felt that this tree was not simple. Not only did it devour vitality, but it also had such a special defense. It was not an exaggeration to say that it used offense as defense.

"After learning this principle, it will be a powerful defensive divine power."

Song Shi muttered. He changed his palm into a sword finger and slashed at the tree trunk.

The sharp sword qi was released, and the surface of contact became smaller. Even if the power on the tree trunk could devour and attack, it was still too late.

Crack!

The thick tree was cut off by his sword qi and fell to the ground with a bang. Then, it quickly withered and was devoured by other plants, turning into ashes.

At this moment, a new tree grew out of the fracture, but it was only a small sapling and had not recovered.

Song Shi looked around. There were no changes. Although the vitality contained in the trees that he had broken had been distributed to other plants, these plants had not grown.

He thought for a moment and said, "It seems that external energy can promote their growth. Strange, where did their vitality go? Into the ground?"

The sword qi in his hand flashed, and the ground let out a sizzling sound, obliterating his sword qi. However, a crack dozens of feet deep was cut out, and the destructive power was greatly reduced, far above the vegetation.

"It's a strange place."

Song Shi sucked in a breath of cold air. Although he had not encountered any other danger, just these strange things alone were enough to shock him.

On second thought, Song Shi realized that this place was quite suitable for him. If he provoked the enemy and hid here, anyone who came would be affected.

"I wonder if the Mortal Cleansing Tribulation of the Black Spirit Realm can still strike me here?"

Just as he was thinking, the cut he made made made made a sound. Many black things emerged, then suddenly spewed out and turned into black smoke.

Song Shi did not dodge and allowed the black fog to surge over.

He realized that not only was there black smoke coming from the place he had cut open, but there were also black smoke coming from other areas. Perhaps it was not caused by him?

When the black smoke landed on his body, Song Shi felt his entire body begin to itch. His eyes lit up as he looked at the black smoke with bright eyes.

Under his careful observation, he was surprised to discover that the black smoke was crazily drilling into his body. Moreover, the black smoke was like tiny seeds. After entering his body, it took root and sprouted in his flesh. The original itchiness gradually turned into pain.

He subconsciously expelled them and burned them with the Sun Sacred Flame. In the end, he realized that the vitality of these seeds was very tenacious. They could even devour flames. Even if a portion was burned, more would surge in.

The most powerful thing was that the seed could penetrate the Nomological power barrier. The principle was also the devouring power. It could invade from small places and was impossible to guard against.

"Good lord, is this the Life Devouring Seed described in the information? It can actually grow into these plants."

Song Shi watched helplessly as dark green sprouts began to grow all over his body. Then, they turned into plants and crazily devoured the vitality in his body.

Green light erupted from his body as the power of the Wood Stats Saint Body was released to resist the growth of these seeds. However, the effect was not much. It was not as easy as resisting the Devour of the plants outside.

"Breaking through from the inside. Amazing."

Song Shi sat on the ground and watched as green grass grew on his body, thinking about how to deal with this attack.

He was not purely courting death. Since the system was helping him resist the fatal factor of the seeds, he would crazy if he did not take the chance to study it.

The ground in the forest was filled with black smoke as they searched for a target to sow. Unfortunately, Song Shi was the only one available.

Song Shi had become the soil for plants to grow. His life force had been sucked dry and turned into white bones, nurturing many green plants.

After dying once, Song Shi's resurrection caused a portion of the plants that could not digest the power to wither. He continued to stay in the black fog as the Dian Cang Sword Technique, the Blood Demon Emperor Sutra, the Imperishable Golden Body, and the Bone Demon Sutra echoed in his mind.

The first two cultivation techniques could resist the devouring power of the seed, and the latter two could help resist the seed's invasion.

In death, Song Shi was forced to cultivate. His originally powerful body began to become impenetrable, resisting the invading objects from the smallest details.

Three days later, a group of hundreds of cultivators appeared in the Void. Wen Jue and the cultivators from the four major factions came to investigate.

With the various powers at the center, a group of cultivators was divided into five small groups. The Lotus Sword Sect had more female disciples, and they chattered like a group of skylarks, causing this silent space to instantly become slightly livelier.

This was basically the first time the disciples and elders of the other factions had come. They sized up their surroundings curiously.

They were very close to each other, advancing carefully.

Wen Jue looked around a few times before his gaze landed on the black smoke on the ground. He frowned and said, "The Fallen God Valley is erupting with life-devouring smoke. Everyone, stay away from the ground."

"Start patrolling the situation here now. Spread out a little. Notify us in time if anything abnormal happens."

Wen Jue waved his hand and led the cultivators of the Black Tortoise Palace to the place where they first discovered the abnormality.

Fu Yuhua and the others took the lead and gestured for the inner sect disciples and elders to disperse a little. They pushed forward at a moderate speed.

Along the way, other than the power to devour life force and the black smoke on the ground, everything was very quiet. There was not even wind.

Although they did not come into contact with plants, the devouring power still made some young cultivators feel uncomfortable and their faces turned pale.

"Don't be too afraid. If your life force is swallowed, it will stimulate your potential. If you can find the Water of Life or the Fruit of Life, it can greatly increase your potential."

Fu Yuhua comforted a few juniors. "When you're paying attention to the traces of the demons, you have to pay attention to any traces Elder Song. Now, everyone, move separately."

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The cultivators of the Dian Cang Sword Sect split up further. Every one of them was a thousand feet to ten thousand feet apart. Not only could they train their abilities, but they could also help each other immediately if they encountered trouble.

The cultivators leading the teams floated in the highest sky and observed the entire scene from above.

Fu Yuhua and the others observed the surroundings and listened carefully. They were on guard for a while and did not encounter any danger for the time being before they relaxed a little.

"Brother Fu, I see that your Divine Teleportation Footwork is quite exquisite. Shall we trade secrets?"

Ji Yannan smiled at Yu Hua.

The Ji Family junior closest to him was astonished. The Ji Family's Divine Teleportation Footwork was one of the best in the entire Black Spirit Realm. Was there a need for this elder to ask the leader of a second-rate faction?

"Brother Ji's eyes are really sharp. I only used it once when I came over."

Fu Yuhua smiled. "I've long heard that the Ji family's Divine Teleportation Footwork is superb. I have to ask for your guidance instead."

Recently, he had almost mastered the Divine Teleportation Footwork that Song Shi had imparted to him. He wanted to show off in front of the Ji family and prove his foundation.

"I'd like that."

Ji Yannan let Fu Yuhua display it first. Fu Yuhua arrived in front of the team in one step and appeared at the end in another. His speed could be said to be very fast.

Up close, not only Ji Yannan, but Wen Jue and the others were also surprised. They could tell that the Divine Teleportation Footwork Fu Yuhua used was extraordinary.

"Your Divine Teleportation Footwork is only slightly inferior to my Ji family's. It has completely reached the eighth-grade."

Ji Yannan could tell at a glance how good Fu Yuhua's Divine Teleportation Footwork was.

The beautiful woman couldn't help but ask, "This isn't the Divine Ability you comprehended, right? When did you obtain it?"

"Hehe, my guest elder, Song Shi, gave it to me."

Fu Yuhua said proudly. In reality, he had exchanged for it with spirit stones.

"It's him again!"

Ji Yannan's gaze wavered at the mention of this name.

"Isn't he from the lower realm? How can he have such a powerful Divine Teleportation Footwork?"

Wen Jue was puzzled.

The elder of the Myriad Star Sword Sect was surprised, "The lower realm?"

Just as Fu Yuhua was about to say that Song Shi and your patriarch were from the same hometown, when a young girl's scream came from afar.

Ji Yannan's expression changed. He took a step forward and disappeared.

Tens of thousands of feet away, a light yellow girl was clutching her chest. She pointed at Song Shi, who had grass growing on his head, and screamed, "Demon, there's a demon in Fallen God Valley. Uncle Nan, come and see what I've discovered."

Song Shi's entire body was covered in furry grass. It had just grown, but it was suppressed by his methods. However, the grass on his head was higher, so he was treated as a demon.

He snapped, "You're the monster."

The girl in the light yellow dress blinked her big and sparkling eyes. Her red lips opened, and her surprise turned into a smile. She said happily, "Hehe, you must be a tree demon, a demon born from the Life Devouring Wood. I didn't expect to find a special creature in the Fallen God Valley. If word gets out, it will definitely shock many people."

"What nonsense are you spouting, girl? I'm a human!"

Just as Song Shi was about to pull out the grass on his head, a silver light descended from the sky and turned into a cage that enveloped him. Space froze.
