Countless years of time are enough to erase the power contained within all artifacts.
Wen Yu understood this, so the once at least level ten Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine must also be aware of it!
When he saw the once formidable restrictions fail, Wen Yu didn't react immediately, which was understandable—he didn’t know if there were other contingencies inside, nor did he know if the power of the artifacts would dissipate over time, let alone how fast this loss would occur.
However, for the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine, which was fully aware of the situation here, it was undoubtedly clear about the condition of the artifacts inside.
In this case, it was impossible for the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine to remain silent—it merely wanted to see Wen Yu acting like a fool, tapping around here?
That absolutely could not be!
Thus, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine definitely had other objectives; at the very least, its goal would certainly not be these decaying, time-corrupted scraps lying on the ground!
...
As he watched the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine slither away like a snake into the distance, Wen Yu squinted, pondering for a moment, then began to walk slowly further away as if oblivious.
Casually, dark power spread, coalescing into ribbon-like forms, reminiscent of Wen Yu's tentacles, constantly wrapping around the scattered sss rank item shards on the ground. At the same time, the Ethereal realm unfolded slowly, its power unknowingly locking firmly onto the position of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
Wen Yu really wanted to know why the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine was so insistent on bringing him here!
...
Even with the light source set up by Wen Yu, the entire secret chamber still appeared eerie and dim.
Fortunately, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine did not need to rely on eyesight to perceive the external environment.
Crawling on the dry, dusty ground and sensing the familiar ancient aura, a strange wave of emotion suddenly arose deep within the soul of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine.
Could this be called nostalgia? Or perhaps reminiscing about the glorious past?
In the original Immortal Heroic World, there were no such notions, but triggering feelings by sight has nothing to do with cultural development or processes.
Yes, it was indeed triggering feelings by sight!
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine thought affirmatively.
Seeing the former Heavenly Palace Forge, witnessing how the once-equipped storage became like this, if the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine felt nothing, it would truly be unbelievable!
As if recalling the past glory in the Immortal Heroic World, thinking of the comrades who accompanied it through endless years, and reflecting on the horror and despair it had experienced...
Even the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine itself did not know what it was thinking at that moment; its body instinctively moved in a reflexive manner towards a certain place, until a minute later, it slowly stopped against a wall.
...
Like a thief, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine twisted its body and constantly glanced back.
In the distance, there was a pitch-blackness, and the power of Wen Yu's dark world had begun to spread. The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine could only sense that Wen Yu's power was filling the entire secret passage—strong and eerie.
This little guy could be considered a strong one among level five professionals; although it was far from its own strength at level five, its potential for development was quite large.
As a soul master, the combat power and skill combinations of each contracted spirit pet could be regarded as "average," which was not a waste of a "seed" identity!
"Too bad, the strength is too low, entering too early..."
A contingency that lasted for thousands of years was triggered under inexplicable circumstances; it would be a lie to say that the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine wasn't frustrated!
If only it had awakened a bit later, perhaps its usefulness would have been greater, and the time spent accompanying this "seed" would have brought even more benefits!
