Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 449 - 202: Plants vs. Zombies

Dark Heavenly Calamities and green plant Demon Creatures began a silent slaughter.

One side was twisted monsters pulled back from death by the power of the Evil God. The other side was an army of puppets created by the Emperor's Liquid and the Life Flame. Such an army had no need for battle cries, their morale eternally locked at the highest level.

The fiends were warped by Divine Power, their limbs grotesquely swollen, top-heavy, and even asymmetrical. Some showed exposed bones, while other parts mutated into flesh lumps and even tentacles. They were enveloped in black Divine Power, accompanied by high temperatures. Wang Qi's Demon Army, on the other hand, was much more normal. Not understanding Transformation, their appearance was no different from before Transformation. They used Mana as a temporary substitute for photosynthesis, their root systems pulled from the soil. Through a semi-permeable barrier, the roots became soft yet resilient, and finally, the Qi Veins ran through the roots, serving as "legs." These plant creatures, with such primitive "legs," stumbled as they charged towards the world-destroying evil beings.

The evil beings were not Life Beings, born from Chaos, incapable of spawning Spirit Wisdom. They could not see these Demon Creatures. However, the latter, receiving the Life Flame from Wang Qi and the Negative Entropy Force from Wang Qi, involuntarily launched their attacks.

It was determined by the laws of thermodynamics, the flow of entropy. This was the natural reaction of high-entropy bodies facing low-entropy bodies!

Their methods were unusually simple, too. Without using Evil Techniques or Divine Skills, it was all about one action: "smashing." But the blazing evil power on them was extraordinarily terrible; ordinary people would die upon contact, and even plant Demons imbued with Holy Light would languish and even die quickly under the radiance of this evil power!

The plant Demons elevated by Wang Qi from Spirit Awakening to Qi Storage Stage had no time to foster Innate Divine Seals to gain Demon Arts or Innate Divine Powers. With limited special tokens, Wang Qi could not implant Divine Powers into every Demon Creature. Faced with indiscriminate destructive attacks, their counterattacks were also exceptionally simple. Larger woody plants swung their limbs, stabbing or pounding, while vine plants rolled up into a ball, then bound the monsters like nets. More herbaceous plants lacked any means of attack; they simply approached the monsters and then exploded all of their vitality in an instant!

The self-destruction of a Qi Storage Stage plant Demon at the level equivalent to the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment could rival the strike of a Golden Core!

Black mist and White Flame drifted and collided on the battlefield, annihilating one another. The two extreme forces changed the surrounding Spirit Energy Environment, making it even more chaotic.

Zhai Difeng and Lin Zongdi, in the midst of both armies' battlefield, watched this scene in terror. Due to the change in the Spirit Energy Environment, they did not dare to absorb Spiritual Energy to transform into Mana anymore. The air was now filled with either the evil Divine Power of Priest Li or the volatile Demon Energy from the self-destructing plant Demons, or even both, presenting an extremely unstable state. This Spiritual Energy was like poison to them!

Is this... is this the outcome of mere Foundation Establishment combat power?

This complete suppression of two Golden Cores, was it actually the aftermath of a clash between two groups of Foundation Establishment combat power monsters?

The overlooked Foundation Establishment combat power could actually possess such might! It was a Spell capable of single-handedly breaching a small Sect!

"No matter how weak the individuals, a sufficient number can bring about a terrifying power," Wang Qi, who was observing this scene through a Mechanical Beast, commented with some satisfaction. But soon, he became dissatisfied: "It's just a pity there's no time to compile Divine Skills like Flying Leaf Fast Blade, Vine Whip, or Parasitic Seeds; otherwise, the strength of these Demon Soldiers could be increased by another few percent."

While speaking, he took out another bamboo tube, poured its contents, diluted a hundredfold, into the soil, and then placed his hand on the ground. Holy Light passed through the plant root systems, mingled with the medicinal power of the Emperor's Liquid, and rushed into the surrounding vegetation. Soon after, the soil trembled, and three trees thick enough to be embraced by several people transformed into huge Treemen, rushing headlong towards the battlefield.

Besides the Demon Clan's Heavenly Emperor who created the Emperor's Liquid, no one until now has been able to squander the Emperor's Liquid as wantonly as Wang Qi!

"Hehe... Ah! Cleanse! This world!" Priest Li rasped hoarsely. His power was special, with just a tiny bit he could turn a vast number of corpses into World-Purifying Corpse Ghosts, but to strengthen monsters, he had to apply his own efforts. The transformed monsters were far more powerful than the plant Demons, but the self-destruction of a hundred plant Demons could always damage one monster.

It was always him who commanded an overflow of Demon Evils to submerge other enemies, yet he had never imagined that one day someone would use this method to drown him!

How much Mana did he have inside? How many corpses were in his bag? And how many plants were in this forest? How much of the Emperor's Liquid did Wang Qi have in his pocket?

The strategic reserves and logistical capabilities of this battle had already determined the victor!

"Tsk, tsk, that was really easy." Wang Qi transformed another batch of plant demons and commanded them to charge into the battlefield. Then, he blessed himself with a Long-Distance Viewing Technique to look towards the enemy.

Half a month before, an enemy that would have been annihilated at first encounter had now become so frail!

"Indeed, science and technology are the primary productive forces," Wang Qi thought, a cryptic smile spreading across his face.

"Now, the end of the tune has arrived."

"Boom boom boom!" Three Qi Storage Stage foxtail grasses exploded in succession near Zhai Difeng. He had just lost an arm and was not yet accustomed to wielding a sword and casting spells with one hand, making his defense inevitably flawed. Moreover, he dared not absorb the chaotic spirit energy around him, so he could only continuously deplete the essence reserves within his body. Just now, to prevent his Protective Gang Qi from collapsing, he had even forced out a stream of essence qi from his Golden Core.

The Golden Core dimmed, the vital foundation shaken! If the battle continued like this, even if he survived, his cultivation would plummet, his foundational strength would be damaged, and he would have no hope of advancing in this lifetime!

Another Golden Core Cultivator, Lin Zongdi, was in a slightly better condition, but he was also in a sorry state. His exquisite robe from the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao was now tattered and torn; his standard hair bun also lay in disarray.

This won't do... I need to think of something...

Zhai Difeng looked around in panic. Priest Li was no longer pouring bodies out of his bag. Collecting bodies in Shenzhou was not an easy task. As he had not anticipated facing such a situation beforehand, Priest Li had not brought many corpses to use for casting spells!

Witnessing the dwindling number of monsters around him, for the first time, Zhai Difeng felt a chill in his courage.

Could they break out before these monsters were exhausted?

We should be able to break out, right?

If we can't break out…

Delicate rain threads drifted onto Zhai Difeng's face, ice-cold and with a hint of a sweet fragrance. This wonderful scent nearly moved Zhai Difeng to tears. But then, the unnatural surge of vitality within him brought an uneasy feeling.

Realizing something was amiss, he suddenly looked up diagonally ahead. A youth in a blue robe was hovering there, his expression neither joyful nor sad, with a sphere of amber-colored liquid floating in his hand. Little sparks of spirit light radiated from the amber sphere, drifting into the sky. The inexplicable rainclouds absorbed this spark of spirit light, producing special raindrops. All the plant demons that received the raindrops became exceptionally agitated, gaining tremendous strength. The vines that were already tightly binding the creatures grew even thicker, and together with a few Treemen, they completely suppressed the remaining monsters.

It's over... that old demon...

Zhai Difeng felt his heart sink and nearly toppled over.

Wang Qi noticed the other's probe and kindly smiled, then once again shook the bell in his hand.

Ding ding, ding ding...

The crisp sound of the bell drew the attention of the three people. This time, the pleasant sound in the eyes of the three was like the notes of a death knell. (To be continued.
