Looking at the endless stream of branches, Qingmu's eyes flashed, "Since that's the case, then..."
"Da, na!"
Mega Venusaur suddenly raised its front legs and stomped down hard.
In the next instant, in the lush green grass, countless dark green vines, each requiring several people to encircle, with a metallic sheen, suddenly rose from the ground and clashed with the branches of the Demon King.
"What?! How is this possible?"
When the King of Ten Thousand Demons first saw those vines, he didn't think much of them, believing they were just poor imitations of his thousands of branches.
But when the two actually clashed, the Demon King realized he was completely wrong.
This soul skill is not only not as fragile as imagined, but it is even much stronger than his thousands of branches.
"This is a tough one, should we run away?"
At this moment, the Demon King was clearly considering retreating. After witnessing the true power of Qingmu Wood Realm's descent, he instantly realized that Qingmu was not an opponent he could easily defeat. If the battle continued, he was very likely to suffer a defeat.
But the next moment, the Demon King abandoned such a thought.
"No, such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by. If I miss it, I may never have such an opportunity again."
Moreover, if I successfully devour this opponent, I will become the undisputed number one soul beast under the Emperor's Heaven, and even the subsequent heavenly tribulations will be no problem for me.
Thinking this, the Demon King gritted his teeth, and his body seemed to generate a terrifying suction force. The plants around him withered instantly, and everything they turned into wisps of green light, which were absorbed by the Demon King.
After absorbing this energy, the Demon King's body began to grow larger, and its overall shape changed. At the same time, its aura became even more terrifying.
At the same time, the Wood Realm descended and suppressed the thousands of branches, and some of the dark green vines were already rushing towards the Demon King.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Numerous whooshing sounds rang out as countless branches shot out from the body of the Demon King, meeting Qing Mu's Wood Realm descent.
This was an earth-shattering battle. For a moment, everything on the scene seemed to disappear, leaving only two green tsunamis colliding, intertwining, and vying for supremacy!
However, if someone looks closely, they will find that the tsunami is a battle of countless vines and branches. Sometimes the branches cut the vines, and sometimes the vines smash and pierce the branches.
After a brief stalemate, the branches suddenly secreted a dark purple liquid, which sprayed onto the vines like water guns.
As this scene unfolded, the Demon King thought to himself with smug satisfaction: "Human brat, enjoy this! This is my special venom. It can not only corrode steel, but its toxicity is also deadly to plants. Even if you are the ultimate wood, you cannot withstand my venom."
"Hehehe, I, the King of Ten Thousand Demons, am indeed strong. Can Xiong Jun and the others pull off such a countermeasure?"
However, the smugness in the heart of the Demon King was quickly replaced by shock.
Because he saw that his venom, which was strong enough to corrode steel and had a special effect on plants, had no effect on the dark green vines after it came into contact with them.
On the contrary, it was he who, because he was about to spray out corrosive venom, was seized by the dark green vines and forced to retreat step by step.
At this moment, Qing Mu on the opposite side seemed to notice the King of Ten Thousand Demons' surprise and said calmly, "Are you surprised? You're not the Ultimate Poison, are you? Mega Venusaur's current poison resistance can make it immune to all toxins below the Ultimate Poison level."
Moreover, I can also poison!
After saying that, Qing Mu snapped her fingers, and the dark green vines that were clashing with the branches were instantly stained with a touch of purple.
Then countless purple energy spheres, mixed with blue and red, condensed and bombarded the branches of the Demon King like a storm.
This is precisely Qing Mu's long-unused secret weapon: deadly poison!
The reason it hasn't been used for so long isn't because the poison isn't strong. In fact, after being enhanced by the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, the poison is comparable to the ultimate poison. Rather, it's because of the limitations of the poison itself.
For those weaker than Qing Mu, there's no need to use potent poison. For those stronger than Qing Mu, potent poison is unlikely to have the desired effect. Even if the opponent is accidentally poisoned, killing Qing Mu wouldn't be difficult.
In situations like this, where Qingmu is stuck in a stalemate, there are very few opportunities for her to use her deadly poison.
On the field, the branches of the Demon King were instantly stained with a purple hue after coming into contact with those highly poisonous energy balls, which was clearly a sign of poisoning.
Seeing this, the Demon King's expression turned ugly. He felt that the other party was restraining himself.
Not only are they immune to his most important weapon, the corrosive poison, but their soul skills are also extremely similar to his, or even enhanced versions.
The opponent has already demonstrated the ultimate wood and poison abilities. If they also exhibit mental attributes, then they will truly be an enhanced version of him.
Because the attributes of the Demon King itself are the ultimate wood, poison, and spirit.
The somewhat skeptical Demon King thought to himself, "I refuse to believe it! Could it be that these humans even know mental techniques?"
Immediately, the Demon King began to manipulate the branches to grow more eyes, and all of them were directed towards Qing Mu and Venusaur.
"A thousand tree eyes, a spiritual shock!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a large amount of purple light converged. These lights seemed to be invisible and intangible, directly passing through the obstacles of countless vines, and gathered into a laser beam in front of Qing Mu, rushing into Qing Mu's brain.
Qing Mu immediately paused, and the attack of the dark green vines also stopped.
"Oh no, Qingmu, watch out!"
Within Qingmu's spiritual sea, Ice Emperor was greatly alarmed upon seeing the purple pillar of light rushing in.
She is now one with Qing Mu. If Qing Mu fails to withstand this mental attack, everything she has will perish.
"What terrible things have I done?!"
Seeing that the purple beam of light was about to strike Qing Mu's spiritual sea, Bing Di gritted his teeth, preparing to burn his own spiritual essence to take the blow for Qing Mu.
However, just before Hyotei was about to make her move, the keystone above the Sea of Spirit emitted a dazzling light, directly shattering the purple pillar of light.
The moment the purple beam of light was destroyed, Qing Mu regained consciousness, and the light returned to her pupils.
"Fortunately, fortunately the soul core condensed by Mega Evolution is in a sense a spiritual attribute soul core, otherwise I might have really messed up this time."
Qingmu wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling a wave of fear wash over her.
Although Qing Mu awakened superpowers, she did not have a true method for cultivating mental power. Therefore, the increase in mental power mainly relied on leveling up and absorbing soul rings, so the improvement was relatively slow.
Although for a Soul Saint, having mental strength surpassing most Title Douluos is definitely considered overpowered, Qing Mu's current opponent is the Demon King, who is comparable to a Limit Douluo. Even though mental strength is only a secondary cultivation for the Demon King, it is still beyond Qing Mu's current capabilities.
