Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 335: Chapter 333: King

Flame Dragon made a bet with Jiang Chen.

Each was supremely confident. Flame Dragon believed Jiang Chen could never get past these Blood Vines.

But Jiang Chen simply stood his ground, motionless.

His eyes flickered thoughtfully for a moment.

"Watch closely."

He said to Flame Dragon.

The next moment, he began chanting silently in his mind.

’Spirit Art.’

That’s right, Jiang Chen had begun to cast his Spirit Art.

The Spirit Art was an incredibly mystical Magic in Jiang Chen’s possession, not quite a Cultivation Technique.

It had no offensive power, but it possessed a wondrous function.

It could manipulate the Life Force of plants.

The Blood Vines were, in essence, a type of plant, even though they had crossed into the realm of Demon Beasts.

But no matter how they changed, they still retained the instincts and characteristics of plants.

The Spirit Art began to circulate silently within him.

Then, Jiang Chen controlled the effects of the Spirit Art, slowly extending it toward the Blood Vines ahead.

"PFFT..."

"PFFT..."

The very instant the effects of Jiang Chen’s Spirit Art drew near the Blood Vines, they seemed to sense something and suddenly stirred.

Countless Blood Vines sprang into motion. Some leaped up from the ground, some burst from the soil, and others writhed in mid-air.

They all swayed toward the source of Jiang Chen’s Spirit Art, seemingly sensing that it could help them evolve, and became exceptionally agitated.

Their bodies twisted and contorted ceaselessly, like a frenzied dance of demons.

"TZZZ..."

The Spirit Art was like a bomb dropped on a calm lake.

In an instant, countless Blood Vines seemed to cheer, shrieking in Jiang Chen’s direction. Some even began to desperately crawl toward him.

Seeing this astonishing change, Flame Dragon’s expression shifted drastically as he cried out in alarm.

"Jiang Chen, what in the world did you do?"

"Don’t go angering these Cannibal Vines!"

He was worried that Jiang Chen had used some method that had enraged the Blood Vines.

Of course, he was also utterly shocked. The fact that Jiang Chen could make the Blood Vines move so abruptly was terrifying.

His eyes flashed wildly as he stared at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen, however, remained unfazed.

He continued to channel the Spirit Art.

The Spirit Art continued to spread forward, causing more and more Blood Vines to become restless, yet simultaneously thrilled.

At the same time, the Blood Vines began to slowly release their internal Life Force.

This was the Life Force of plants.

Wisps of green mist formed, and within a short time, they shrouded entire sections of the Blood Vines.

Suddenly, the Blood Vine World resembled a gathering of demons and ghosts. Enveloped in green mist, one could only see the countless vines desperately twisting and intertwining.

The sight was truly astonishing.

’It’s working, just as I thought.’

Jiang Chen was very satisfied.

But he didn’t rush to make his next move.

The Blood Vines seemed to fear the area outside their domain. They didn’t dare spread to where Jiang Chen and Flame Dragon were standing.

It was as if some rule was in place here, restricting the Blood Vines.

Otherwise, with their ability to spread, they would have likely overrun the fifth level long ago.

As the green, plant-based Life Force appeared, it began to drift slowly toward Jiang Chen.

It finally flowed into Jiang Chen’s body, making him instantly appear like a wellspring of Life Force.

This Life Force circulated once through Jiang Chen’s body, guided by the Spirit Art, before returning to the Blood Vine World.

The Blood Vines immediately grew even more excited, desperately absorbing the returning Life Force and emitting a sizzling sound.

The entire Blood Vine World was thrown into chaos.

The Blood Vines went into a frenzy.

Flame Dragon sucked in a sharp breath, utterly horrified.

Having seen this much, a realization dawned on him. It seemed Jiang Chen did have a way to get past the Blood Vines.

However, the bet he’d made with Jiang Chen was now looking very uncertain.

He might actually lose to Jiang Chen, and then... he would have to call Jiang Chen his "big brother."

’No way, do I really have to call him my big brother?’

’Dammit, this is an absolute humiliation!’

Flame Dragon was about to lose his mind.

At this moment, Jiang Chen could feel the goodwill of the Blood Vines through the Life Force they were releasing.

It was an extremely subtle change, but Jiang Chen could discern it clearly.

’The time is ripe.’

At this point, Jiang Chen no longer had any worries.

He flashed a toothy grin at Flame Dragon.

"Flame Dragon, get ready to be my little brother."

Without waiting for Flame Dragon’s reply, Jiang Chen strode forward.

He stepped directly into the Blood Vine World.

’Jiang Chen... He’ll never succeed.’

Even now, Flame Dragon clung to a sliver of hope, wishing for Jiang Chen’s failure, even hoping the Blood Vines would devour him.

But in the next moment, Flame Dragon’s jaw dropped and his eyes widened.

He was in utter disbelief.

"HSSSS..."

He sucked in another cold breath.

Jiang Chen had appeared in the Blood Vine World.

Yet, unlike what had happened to Flame Dragon before, he wasn’t immediately attacked by the vines.

Jiang Chen just stood there.

Immediately, countless Blood Vines bowed to Jiang Chen in submission, as if they were people worshipping him.

They formed a circle around his body.

Although the Blood Vines seemed to want to get closer, they treated him like a king and didn’t dare approach him directly.

So they merely circled him.

The entire scene was astounding.

Especially as endless plant Life Force poured into him, his body began to glow more and more brightly.

"Rise!"

Jiang Chen suddenly called out softly.

At that moment, his word was like a command, and the Blood Vines moved.

"SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH..."

Innumerable Blood Vines rushed over from all directions, gathering beneath Jiang Chen’s feet. Then, like stars clustering around the moon, they lifted him, causing him to slowly rise into the air.

As he continued to rise, the vines automatically intertwined, slowly weaving themselves into a net. The net then twisted and transformed.

Finally, it became a throne woven from Blood Vines.

Jiang Chen had become the king of the Blood Vines, respectfully enthroned by them, looking so noble.

"Take me away."

Jiang Chen spoke again.

It was just a simple phrase, but the ferocious Blood Vines seemed to understand his meaning.

The Blood Vines twisted their bodies and carried Jiang Chen straight toward the passage to the sixth level.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen appeared at the passage leading from the fifth to the sixth level.

It was all so incredible.

During this time, Jiang Chen continuously circulated his Spirit Art.

Not only could the Blood Vines absorb the Life Force he had refined, but Jiang Chen himself was also being transformed by the plant Life Force, his body becoming more ethereal and pure.

The Life Force even purged the impurities from his body.

"How is this possible?"

Flame Dragon had watched with his own eyes as Jiang Chen was worshipped like a god by the Blood Vines, which then automatically wove themselves into a magical throne and delivered him to the passage to the sixth level.

But Jiang Chen didn’t head for the passage.

Instead, he said calmly, "Return."

At his command, the Blood Vines once again carried Jiang Chen back to where Flame Dragon stood.

"You... How did you do that?"

Flame Dragon asked, swallowing dryly in terror.

After all, the scene was simply too frightening.

In front of Jiang Chen, the Blood Vines were as docile as lambs.

No, they were like servants.
