Pill God Returns

Then, everyone saw the grayish-white fruit that looked like pineapple. Boundless greed arose within them. This was a Ghost Fruit, and it contained abundant spirit energy. If one absorbed and refined it, then it would be able to increase one's cultivation. He would be able to increase his own strength.    

"It really is a Ghost Fruit."    

Wu Chen's eyes lit up. This Ghost Fruit was a good thing, he couldn't miss it.    

However, it was obvious that the Ghost Fruit had yet to mature. A Ghost Fruit that had yet to mature contained a lack of spiritual energy. There was also a very unique substance that was extremely harmful to the human body. Therefore, he had to wait until the Ghost Fruit fully matured. The effect was also the best.    

Originally, the Nether Soul Vine lived in a dark place all year round. It was impossible for it to have such a strong nutritional supply. Hence, the rate at which this Ghost Fruit matured was very slow. If it was naturally matured... At the very least, it would take ten years. It was very obvious. These people could not wait that long.    

Therefore, they had to speed up the catalysis, and the best catalyst was life essence, blood. That was why the bloody and vicious scene from before had happened.    

"This is really infuriating."    

They were extremely angry with the equations. Originally, they wanted to kill someone. They wanted to feed the Nether Soul Vine powerful life essence to accelerate the growth and maturity of the Ghost Fruit. Unexpectedly, after the life essence was absorbed by the Nether Soul Vine... This was truly like drawing water from a bamboo basket. It was all in vain.    

Bang!    

Countless vines stretched out from the Fourth-rank Yin Soul Vine. Like sharp swords, they rushed out, carrying a terrifying power that pierced through time and space, sweeping towards the surrounding people.    

Now that its cultivation base had broken through, it was time for the Ghost Fruit to mature. And just as these people thought, the best way to speed up the Ghost Fruit's maturation was to absorb the essence of life. As long as it could absorb enough life essence... Then... The Ghost Fruit would mature very quickly.    

"Ahhh!"    

Countless people cried out in pain. They were swept up by the terrifying vines, and their bodies were instantly shattered. Their life essence was absorbed by the Fourth-rank Yin Soul Vine, and used to speed up the Ghost Fruit's ripening process.    

At this moment, everyone was frightened by what they saw, and all of them started fleeing. They were absolutely no match for such a terrifying thing. Although the Ghost Fruit was good, if one's strength wasn't enough, staying here would only become an offering to speed up the Ghost Fruit's maturation.    

"What happened? Why are all of you in such a sorry state?"    

Many people heard the commotion and rushed over with curiosity. They collided with these people who were running for their lives in a panic.    

"Don't ask anymore. Hurry up and run. This is an Abominable Land. There are terrifying Nether Soul Vine here."    

As soon as he finished speaking, countless Nether Soul Vine came rolling down from the sky. Those vines were swaying in the space, like dancing demons. It was so terrifying that it made people tremble in fear. Their souls almost left their bodies.    

"Ah!"    

Those people who came with curiosity had never seen such a huge and thick Nether Soul Vine vine before. They were so scared that their legs went soft and they kept trembling. They couldn't even lift up the Resistance.    

After absorbing so much life essence, the grayish-white Ghost Fruit also gradually changed. Its color was changing rapidly, and it was quickly maturing.    

Wu Chen's side had also been attacked by the Nether Soul Vine. However, they were currently relatively far away. These few people were also powerful individuals. They used their own methods. They managed to stabilize their position. These Nether Soul Vine were unable to do anything to them.    

"Situ Jiannan, Zhou Jie, you guys should leave quickly. I'll be back soon."    

After saying those words, without waiting for Situ Jiannan and the others to reply, Wu Chen held the Dragonslaying Knife in his hand and actually folded it back. He then rushed towards the huge Nether Soul Vine.    

"Wu Chen, what are you going to do? Hurry up and come back."    

Zhou Jie and the others immediately panicked. The Nether Soul Vine here... It had evolved into a Fourth-rank Yin Soul Vine, and the Fourth-rank Yin Soul Vine was equivalent to a True Martial Stage warrior amongst humans. With Wu Chen's strength, it would be very dangerous for him to go there.    

However, Wu Chen could no longer care about that. A Ghost Fruit was extremely tempting. He would definitely not be satisfied if he did not snatch it away.    

"What should I do?"    

Zhou Jie and the others were anxious when they saw Wu Chen rushing towards them. They wanted to rush over and help Wu Chen, but they were also afraid of the surrounding vines.    

"Let's wait here and see what happens."    

They didn't leave. Wu Chen had helped them too much. If it wasn't for him, they would have been in hell by now. Now that he was in danger, how could they leave in peace?    

At this time, the scene was in chaos. The vines of the Fourth-rank Yin Soul Vine extended in all directions. A crazy massacre was happening. The Ghost Fruit was absorbing life energy to accelerate its growth and maturation. As for those who were swept away, they fled in all directions. They wished they could have a pair of wings on their ribs.    

Wu Chen rushed in, grabbed the Dragonslaying Knife, and slashed out with his saber. The strength of his Dragonslaying Knife was extraordinary, it was indestructible. Even the vines of the Nether Soul Vine were cut off by his Dragonslaying Knife, it was unstoppable.    

"What are those people doing?"    

Wu Chen suddenly noticed that even in such a tense situation... Liu Chen and the others seemed to be standing idly by, allowing the Nether Soul Vine to kill them. Even if the vines had hit their target, it was only a symbolic attack. They didn't use their full strength at all, as if they were deliberately allowing the Nether Soul Vine to kill them.    

Their eyes had been staring at the Ghost Fruit the entire time. They didn't move away from it even for a moment. Wu Chen was extremely intelligent, he could understand their thoughts with just a glance. These people wanted the Nether Soul Vine to kill and absorb the surrounding life force and Yuan Qi. They wanted the Ghost Fruit to mature quickly and wait for it to mature. That's a good plan.    

Thinking of this, the corner of Wu Chen's mouth curled into a smile. Since all these people wanted this Ghost Fruit, then let's see who the final owner of this Ghost Fruit was.    

Wu Chen was not in a hurry to rush over. He stayed here and waited patiently, waiting for the Ghost Fruit to completely mature.    

Seeing that he had stopped, Situ Jiannan and the others heaved a sigh of relief. They were afraid that Wu Chen would continue to venture deeper. That was the Fourth-rank Yin Soul Vine. It was equivalent to a True Martial Stage warrior, and its strength was extremely terrifying. It was not something they could fight against.    

"Who are these people?"    

Right at this moment, they saw a group of people who were about 30 meters away from them. Some of them had extremely powerful auras. Even the weakest of them was a Spirit Sea Stage. The strongest among them was the young man standing at the front. His aura was the most terrifying, he was actually at the Eighth Empyrean of Spirit Sea Stage.    

The few of them looked at each other. It seemed like the competition for the Ghost Fruit was going to be very exciting.
