Chapter 633: Chapter 214: Instant Kill! Heaven-Devouring! The Heaven-Reaching Vine in the Deep Cosmos

The deeper they ventured, the larger the floating meteorites became. Some were even comparable in size to small planets.

Cosmic dust and nebular clouds gathered here, forming a natural labyrinth fraught with unknowns and perils.

Soon, after they bypassed a colossal iron-core meteorite over a thousand kilometers in diameter, the view before them suddenly opened up.

A relatively open expanse of space appeared before them.

In the center of this expanse, a great number of Martial Artists had already gathered.

Qin Feng’s eyes swept over the scene, and his focus instantly sharpened.

As far as he could see, over a hundred Planet-level Strongmen of various forms were suspended in the void.

Some were in small groups, having formed temporary alliances. Others stood alone, occupying advantageous positions. All of them maintained a delicate yet dangerous distance from one another.

Powerful and inscrutable auras intertwined and collided in this space, creating an invisible web crackling with tension.

And farther out in the void, ripples from Subspace Teleportation still appeared from time to time.

Streaks of light rushed in from all directions, converging on this location.

Clearly, news of the Heaven-Reaching Vine’s appearance had spread far and wide. This place had become the eye of a massive storm within Star Zone 117.

Yet, what truly stunned Qin Feng was not the sight of over a hundred top-tier geniuses gathered together. It was the cosmic wonder at the very center of this expanse of space, on which every eye was fixed.

Three vines.

Three colossal vines, their magnificence and grandeur beyond description, looking as if they stretched to the very edge of the Cosmos.

Rooted in the boundless void, they seemed to draw sustenance from the most primordial energies of the Cosmos.

The main stalks of the vines were an ancient bronze color, and their diameter was so immense that it surpassed any Interstellar Battleship Qin Feng had ever seen.

They twisted and coiled, extending endlessly into the depths of the Cosmos until they vanished from view.

According to the scale on the Jade Token’s map, the length of each of the three vines reached an astonishing one light-year!

Such a behemoth, suspended silently in the Cosmos, delivered a primal, visceral impact—a shock to both the eyes and the soul.

And now, the surfaces of these three colossal vines shimmered with a dream-like, magnificent purple halo.

The halo pulsed like a slow breath, and with each shimmer, ripples spread through the surrounding space.

This was the sign that they were about to bear fruit.

"Heaven-Reaching Vine..."

Fire Circle floated beside Qin Feng, his voice filled with irrepressible awe. "The records say it’s a Planet-level lifeform, but... its sheer size is just too immense.

Forget killing it—an average Planet-level Martial Artist couldn’t even leave a decent wound on it.

Even a Star-level powerhouse would have a hard time killing it. Its Mental Power fluctuations are faint, but its life force is just too abundant."

"Then how do High-rank Strong People utilize it?"

Qin Feng asked.

"Star-level powerhouses generally don’t choose to fight a Heaven-Reaching Vine head-on."

Fire Circle explained, clearly well-versed in such secrets. "They usually employ a more time-consuming and laborious method known as ’Vine-Wearing.’ It involves assailing it with their own powerful Mental Power, day after day, year after year. If they succeed in subduing it, they gain an incomparably powerful asset. In a battle, the vine itself, able to extend and retract at will, becomes a terrifying, world-destroying weapon."

"They’re very rare, I take it."

Qin Feng’s gaze remained fixed on the three colossal vines.

"Yes, extremely rare."

Fire Circle remarked. "In the Empire’s official auction houses, a fully grown Heaven-Reaching Vine sells for 100B."

"100B..."

That number instantly put things into perspective for Qin Feng.

He glanced at the "Star-Devourer" Long Spear in his hand.

This weapon, a "Celestial Derivation Soldier" that could evolve, was custom-made for him by the Empire’s highest Master’s Hall. Its estimated value was 1000B.

And 1B was equivalent to one billion Imperial Contribution Points.

One could only imagine its value.

"They’re only occasionally found in the core regions of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, and their distribution is extremely sparse. It’s incredibly rare to see one."

Fire Circle smacked his lips and exclaimed in genuine admiration, "The Cosmic Genius Battle really pulls out all the stops. To just drop three of them here as a fortunate opportunity for us..."

"The three Heaven-Reaching Vines are about to bear fruit."

Fire Circle pulled his gaze away from the distant Martial Artists. He lowered his voice and said to Qin Feng, "Right now, we don’t have to do a thing. Just one word: wait."

"According to my research, three Heaven-Reaching Vines of this magnitude should produce around thirty-odd fruits, which are also their seeds."

"A single fruit contains enough energy to cause a Planet-level Strongman’s Mental Power to skyrocket. A dozen or so would be enough for our Mental Power to leap from the Cup Realm and condense into the Lake Realm!"

Fire Circle’s breathing grew heavy.

Upon hearing this, a fire of excitement ignited within Qin Feng.

A direct path to the Lake Realm!

This temptation was irresistible to any Planet-level Martial Artist.

He glanced at the over one hundred experts watching with predatory eyes, then back at the three colossal vines about to bear fruit. He understood perfectly.

A bloody struggle over the thirty-odd fruits was about to erupt.

Time flew, and in the span of a dozen or so days, a continuous stream of Martial Artists arrived. Now, over ten thousand Martial Artists had gathered around the Heaven-Reaching Vines!

Among the more than ten thousand Martial Artists, some were in their Hunting Stage, hoping to kill someone at a Resource Point to restore their normal competitor status. Others were here purely for the resources.
