Chapter 1540: Chapter 358
As soon as Cao Zhen landed on the island, he immediately felt the land under his feet surging wildly.
“Boom!”
A loud noise like the shattering of a mountain erupted, with endless dirt soaring into the sky, as if the entire island had been turned over. Underfoot, a gigantic bloody mouth appeared, and a strong stench of blood filled the air.
This mouth looked as big as a room, filled with two rows of scythe-like sharp teeth, seemingly ready to swallow him whole.
Behind Cao Zhen, the Immortal Mountain suddenly appeared, and the huge mouth below was struck hard by a fierce palm.
This palm did not utilize any spells, but was a simple condensation of immortal power. Even so, with his cultivation base now at the peak of the Longevity Period, the power contained in this palm was already strong enough!
A vast and boundless power descended, like a mountain crashing down, heavily blasting the giant mouth, and terrifying power surged through the open mouth into the opponent’s body.
The next moment, the giant mouth trembled violently and fell downward.
Cao Zhen widened his eyes; the attacker was not a fierce beast, but a plant. The gaping maw resembled a flower, with slender roots and stems extending below.
Man-eating Flower?
Cao Zhen glanced at the falling flower, and the ground below surged once more. Many Man-eating Flowers sprang from the earth, opening their house-sized mouths to bite toward him.
Every Man-eating Flower had reached the Earth Immortal Realm.
Looking across the island, it was densely packed, completely covered in Man-eating Flowers, some still stained with blood, and even some pieces of cloth hanging from their teeth.
No wonder so many Earth Immortals died here. Although these Man-eating Flowers barely reached the level of Earth Immortals, their sheer number made them overwhelming when they attacked together…
A solemn expression flashed across Cao Zhen’s eyes. These Man-eating Flowers intended to tear and consume people directly, but if the island were entirely composed of Man-eating Flowers, the corpses of those people couldn’t possibly remain so intact.
Therefore, there must be other existences on this island, more terrifying than the Man-eating Flowers, deterring them from devouring the corpses.
Behind Cao Zhen, the Immortal Mountain expanded even more, with flames roaring around his body. Among the people he was connected to, many were adept at using fire system magic, and he had an extensive range of fire spells to fall back on.
Man-eating Flowers are plants, naturally most fearful of flames.
Within Cao Zhen, immortal energy surged wildly, his whole body aglow with fiery light. From afar, he appeared like a massive burning fireball, with torrents of flames shooting from him, landing on the Man-eating Flowers below, igniting them instantly. For a moment, the entire island seemed ablaze, with columns of black smoke rising into the sky.
The crackling sounds of burning continually echoed.
The spells he cast were at least Yellow Level Mid Grade, and with his presence at the peak of the Longevity Period, these Man-eating Flowers, having just reached the Earth Immortal stage, were completely ignited under his flames.
Amidst the sky-high flames, suddenly, a very sharp aura approached.
A pitch-black figure appeared before him. It looked somewhat human-like but compared to a human, it was as black as charcoal, with wings on its back, and a pair of horns above its ears.
This human-like mysterious figure appeared too suddenly, seemingly ignoring the existence of space, instantly appearing before Cao Zhen, holding a black spear stabbing toward him.
The sharp aura emanated from this spear.
Cao Zhen, always on guard against other potential dangers here, was not exerting full strength. Upon seeing the sudden appearance of this strange figure, a longsword appeared in his hand, thrusting forward aggressively.
This sword strike was full of an indomitable momentum, as if to pierce through the heavens and shatter the sun and moon.
He had comprehended the swordsmanship of the Heaven Illusion Sword Monarch and also observed the sword intent of a great master in the relics over the years, never forgetting the cultivation of swordsmanship.
Even without using the Heavenly Illusion Sword Technique, this sword strike was still terrifyingly powerful.
The void was torn apart instantly, and the longsword slashed down, directly striking the opposing spear.
Instantly, a counterforce traveled up his sharp sword, while the mysterious figure in front of him trembled violently. A terrifying and horrifying sword intent surged into its body, wreaking havoc.
He was an existence at the peak of the Longevity Period; no one could simply rely on immortal power to contend with him at this time.
Moreover, this sword strike contained the essence of Wu Jianzi’s sword draw but was somewhat different, as this sword technique was not just one strike but two successive strikes!
After Cao Zhen slashed with one sword, the immortal energy within him surged more frantically, like a vast ocean of immortal energy flowing into his hands, into his longsword, and throughout his whole body.
