ETERNAL MARTIAL EMPEROR, VOLUME 6 - Season 19 Episode 19

Su Zimo rode on Big Yellow and entered the forest slowly.

Because the ancient trees were lush and covered the skies, there was almost no sunlight shining down from the forest and it was dark and quiet.

The ground was filled with many branches and leaves. Stepping on them made a rustling sound that was extremely clear in this quiet environment.

Big Yellow’s footsteps slowed down.

For some reason, there was an extremely strange aura in the forest that made one feel extremely repressed!

Duan Tianliang followed behind Big Yellow with a pale expression. He looked around nervously with a layer of sweat on his forehead.

The forest was extremely quiet and there were no living beings or ferocious beasts.

However, Big Yellow and Duan Tianliang felt increasingly uneasy!

Snap!

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from beneath Duan Tianliang’s feet, sounding extremely piercing in the forest!

Duan Tianliang froze and looked down instinctively.

He was stepping on a broken white bone!

The white bone seemed extremely fragile after countless years and broke into two with a single step.

The white bone was covered by many leaves earlier on. Duan Tianliang was focused on his surroundings and did not notice what was beneath his feet.

“It’s fine, it’s fine!”

Duan Tianliang composed himself and forced a smile. He whispered and continued walking forward.

However, he had barely taken two steps when the sound of bones cracking sounded beneath his feet once more!

He had stepped on another white bone!

Duan Tianliang’s expression changed.

“Boss, wait a moment,”

Duan Tianliang said softly and looked around. He conjured hand seals and waved his sleeves, creating a few cyclones that blew away the fallen leaves on the ground.

When Duan Tianliang and Big Yellow saw the leaves floating, their expressions changed starkly!

The ground in the forest was filled with endless white bones!

Psst!

Duan Tianliang gasped.

What sort of a dangerous place was it for so many living beings to die?!

“B-B-Boss, let’s retreat,”

Duan Tianliang’s voice was trembling slightly.

Before he could speak, Big Yellow could no longer withstand the fear. Even without Su Zimo’s order, he had already begun to retreat.

However, he had only taken a few steps when he realized that his escape path was completely sealed!

As though they were alive, the initially motionless branches intertwined and sealed their retreat like thick spirit snakes!

Suddenly, a blood stench emanated from the ancient trees.

Faint patterns that resembled blood vessels appeared on the surface of the ancient tree with fresh blood flowing within!

“It’s over! This is where I die!”

Duan Tianliang was horrified and despaired.

The ancient trees in this forest grew by devouring living beings!

There were all sorts of things in the trichiliocosm.

This forest stood here and had devoured countless ferocious beasts over the years.

Any ferocious beasts that fell into it and could not get out alive would be devoured cleanly by them!

Right from the beginning, Su Zimo had a calm expression as he rode on Big Yellow.

His spirit perception was way too strong!

Before entering the forest, he had already sensed that there was something strange about it.

The scene before him was within his expectations as well.

As the jade green branches coiled towards Su Zimo, Duan Tianliang and Big Yellow, Su Zimo suddenly spoke.

“Cultivation is not easy for the Flora race,”

Su Zimo said slowly, “I don’t want to destroy your cultivation. Don’t make things difficult for me either.”

Many branches paused for a moment.

Thereafter, a mocking emotion was released from the ancient trees!

Even Big Yellow and Duan Tianliang could sense it!

The next moment, even more branches tore through the air and coiled towards Su Zimo like jade green snakes!

“Since that’s the case, you can’t blame me,”

Su Zimo floated down from Big Yellow’s body and stomped on the ground, channeling his blood qi as though he had vanished.

In his place was a jade green lotus that soared into the skies. It was filled with a resplendent glow that illuminated the skies in a bedazzling manner!

Instantly, the many tree branches paused, as though they had realized something. They exuded immense fear and shrank instinctively.

The ancient trees swayed as though they were trembling!

“Absorb!”

Su Zimo channeled his blood qi and countless roots and branches extended from his feet into the ground, coiling around the ancient trees in the forest and absorbing their life essence wildly!

The Creation Green Lotus was the only one in the world and was a god of the Flora race.

Back in Tianhuang Mainland, experts of the Blood Vine race wanted to devour Su Zimo’s bloodline but were devoured instead.

These ancient trees were far inferior to the Blood Vine race!

This was Essence Qi absorption!

If the Flora race grew at the same time, powerful plants would absorb the essence of other plants.

For example, in the spirit fields, the spirit farmers had to weed often because they were worried that the weeds would absorb the Essence Qi of the Essence Nourishing Grass and Rain Frost Flower and affect the growth of the two immortal herbs.

But now that a Grade 9 Creation Green Lotus was absorbing the surrounding Essence Qi wildly in the forest, the ancient trees could not defend against it at all!

Right in front of Big Yellow and Duan Tianliang, the dense branches that extended towards them were the first to wither and fall.

Immediately after, the surrounding towering ancient trees turned yellow bit by bit and their lifeforce drained rapidly!

Initially, the forest was like a ghastly green ocean.

However, before long, the ghastly green ocean began to turn yellow and eventually extended to the entire forest!

In the withered yellow ocean, only the middle region shone with a resplendent glow!

There was a Creation Green Lotus that shone brightly!

Unlike cultivators of Tianhuang Mainland, Duan Tianliang and Big Yellow had not heard of the legend of the Creation Green Lotus.

However, at that moment, both of them realized that the green lotus before them was definitely a heaven-defying existence!

Within a few hours, the forest withered completely.

All the ancient trees died after Su Zimo absorbed their Essence Qi!

Su Zimo’s figure reappeared and he let out a long breath.

After absorbing and refining the Essence Qi in the forest, his cultivation realm had improved significantly as well!

The Creation Green Lotus was way too domineering.

If he did not control it and allowed the Green Lotus True Body to absorb the surrounding flora essence to grow and cultivate, all the flora in the entire Dragon Abyss Star would be devoured by him!

Of course, Su Zimo did not dare to cause such a huge commotion.

Duan Tianliang was long dumbfounded.

Big Yellow stood at the side and shivered as well.

Initially, he was thinking of an opportunity to escape.

But now, he had already given up on that thought.

The handsome scholar before him was a complete fiend and could refine him with a single thought—his outcome would probably be similar to the withered trees around them!
