Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine, Jie La
Boom!
The scalding quicksand beneath Qin Tian suddenly boiled. He quickly retreated several steps, as the grains of sand twisted into strange patterns in the heat waves.
The plant, greedy for his qi and blood spiritual energy, was now growing wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The main stem, like a giant python infused with infinite power, stood upright with a roar, instantly breaking through the hundred-meter mark. The thick vines shredded the yellow sand everywhere, raising sandstorms tens of meters high, as though its thousand-meter-long body would pierce the fiery sky.
Dozens of branches, like iron chains, swept across the desert, slicing ancient poplars in half, with the sand shot up consolidating into sharp sand blades in mid-air.
On these vines, lightning flashed like silver snakes running madly. Each flicker melted the sand within a hundred-meter radius into glass instantly, and the deafening roar reverberated repeatedly in the vast desert. Black fog, thick as dark ink, surged out from the gaps between the vines, corroding the hot air, producing a sizzling sound; toxic gas spread out like intricate purple mist.
Then, a more shocking scene unfolded.
The top of the plant suddenly split open, forming a gigantic vortex, like a giant mouth capable of swallowing everything.
Energy from heaven and earth, as if drawn by an invisible giant hand, rushed madly toward the vortex.
In the distance, sand dunes were pulled into collapsing and twisting into eerie whirlpools. The floating clouds in the sky were drained of color at a speed visible to the naked eye, becoming transparent, before being sucked into the vortex.
The ground began to crack, with scalding sand gushing out like a fountain, while azure energy currents sprayed out from the fissures, mixing with the yellow sand into a terrifying energy storm.
With whistling winds and flying sand and stones, countless grains of sand solidified into sandstorm tornadoes in mid-air, flying toward the vortex.
The concentration of spiritual qi in the air plummeted sharply, terrifying all the desert spirit beasts within tens of kilometers. The quicksand beneath their feet came alive, wrapping around their ankles, while their spiritual power went uncontrollably restless, as if being drawn by an invisible force.
Cracks appeared in the sky, dark as if this space could not withstand such terrifying energy extraction, uttering painful moans.
And that frenzied plant, after devouring massive amounts of energy, shone ever more dazzlingly. The blue and purple light pierced the sandstorm, dyeing the entire desert with strange ghostly light.
Qin Tian retreated hundreds of meters, looking at this shocking scene with eyes filled with suspicion.
He did not expect that after absorbing qi and energy, this plant could create such a commotion. Having devoured massive energy, he wondered just how powerful it might become.
"What kind of spirit plant is it, exactly?"
Qin Tian was certain the plant had a significant background. Seizing the moment while it was still devouring energy, he quickly searched the Star Net.
Before long, he found a top-tier spirit plant that matched the appearance and abilities of the plant—
Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine
This was a terrifying spirit plant that had disappeared for nearly a thousand years. Principally, it could devour any form of energy and could also release the devoured energy. Due to this characteristic, the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine maximized both its attack and defense attributes.
On the offensive side, its vines could extend up to ten thousand meters in length, with the tips transforming into countless tiny bone spurs that shoot at the enemy at great speed, each spur carrying extremely terrifying penetrative power. Furthermore, it could twist into great constricting ropes, tightly binding the enemy, rapidly draining their energy until they are reduced to a withered husk.
Defensively, the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine could form an impenetrable wall of vines, where any attack striking the wall would have its force and energy dissipated or devoured. Additionally, the demon vine possessed super speed regeneration, such that even if the vine stems were cut or burnt, they could regrow rapidly in no time.
Not just that, the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine could nurture its master. When the master was injured or had consumed a large amount of energy, it would infuse the master with absorbed qi and energy, acting like a portable medical kit and charging pack.
A thousand years ago, there was a Tier Nine powerhouse named Dugu Feng who cultivated a powerful Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine. In a great war, the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine single-handedly blocked ten Tier Eight beastmen, strongly killing three of them, thereafter gaining fame across the cosmos.
Sadly, after Dugu Feng’s death, the cosmos never witnessed the presence of a Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine again.
"Seems like I hit the jackpot."
Qin Tian smiled slightly, though, of course, mastering the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine required more than just luck.
Without the Yin Yang Space, no one would have known this almost withered plant was indeed the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine. Without the Sovereign of the Verdant Wilds, he wouldn’t have been able to awaken the demon vine. If he didn’t have a supremely powerful physique, he wouldn’t have been able to sustain the terrifying expenditure during the demon vine’s awakening.
As the last trace of residual energy was completely absorbed, the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine, which had previously blocked out the sky, trembled violently.
The kilometer-long vines contracted madly like receding black water, with those suspended energy clouds collapsing with a bang, turning into bits of ghostly light that merged into the patterns on the vine’s surface.
The "devouring mouth," which had been devouring wantonly, slowly closed. The demon vine’s massive body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally leaving only a vine as thick as an arm curling up on the sand.
It initiated contact with Qin Tian, and when it touched his dust-covered pant leg, the demon vine nuzzled gently like an affectionate young beast. Then it gracefully wrapped around, finally settling on his wrist.
Fine patterns pulsed like ripples against the skin, coiling into an elaborate wristband, with a purple-glowing tender leaf at the top that undulated slightly with Qin Tian’s pulse.
At this point, the terrifying demon vine that altered the color of the skies and earth transformed silently into a guardian around Qin Tian’s wrist.
In his mind came the affectionate call of the demon vine.
"Are you the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine?"
Qin Tian communicated with the demon vine through the spiritual link.
The purple leaf swayed, with the vine expressing a confirmation.
"It really is."
Qin Tian’s smile deepened as he lightly touched the leaf with his finger, saying,
"The name Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine is too long, a hassle to call out—how about giving you a nickname?"
The leaf fluttered in agreement to Qin Tian’s proposal.
"Hehe, what should it be called then?"
Qin Tian rubbed his chin, and soon, a name flashed through his mind.
"Jie La, how about that name?"
Having Kha’Zix, the mantis, by his side made adding a Magic Vine named Jie La quite interesting too.
One handling close-range targeted kills, the other covering wide-area annihilation.
He could now completely transform into a summoner, just these two alone were enough to make enemies drink their fill.
The vine’s tip lifted and swayed vertically, like a human nodding, appearing quite fond of the name.
"Haha, you’ll be called Jie La from now on then."
Qin Tian chuckled and said, "Let’s go, let me introduce you to your new partner, and let me see your strength in action too."
Jie La’s tip lifted like an upturned chin, full of confidence.
