Chapter 1268 - 1368: Fleeing in Panic

Although Taichu Zhenren thought this way, he quickly dismissed the idea.

Because Taichu Zhenren feels that if this wall creature is a dominant-level wall creature,

there are many unreasonable aspects, one of which is that this wall creature, this vine monster, is simply too close to the inner wall area. Of course, this distance is calculated according to the outside wall's range.

Moreover, if this vine monster is indeed at the dominant level, surely it would have many underlings. Even if this vine monster has special combat abilities, it would still have underlings; otherwise, it wouldn't be a true dominator!

Additionally, if this vine monster is not at the dominant level, many aspects would be unreasonable. Given the vine monster's abilities, it should become dominant in a very short time.

Not to mention anything else, just granting someone from within the wall this ability, she would dominate the entire cultivation world in mere years, or even less than a year.

Unless this wall creature has some special limitations on its abilities.

Otherwise, given this wall creatures' unique abilities, becoming the entire wall's dominator would be very simple.

Whoever possesses such abilities would surely unify the world, perhaps outperforming the Power of Heaven and Earth; either penetrating the Celestial Realm swiftly or accessing the Demon Realm quickly.

Though, possessing such abilities, entering lower worlds prematurely would likely entail entering the Demon Realm.

Because this ability focuses on cultivating Magic rather than mental states, typically not refining one's psychology would ultimately result in becoming a consuming monster.

And such purely consuming monsters fit the identity of the wall creatures, since killings dominate their minds. So for this vine monster to reach higher worlds, it would inevitably head to the Demon Realm since entering the Celestial Realm is simply unattainable.

Entering the Celestial Realm, this wall creature can't even cross the Celestial Tribulation, since one trial involves heart tribulation.

To overcome this trial, a strong mind is essential.

However, among the wall creatures, none possess a strong mind.

If anyone could engage with heart attacks, they could instantly annihilate all wall creatures. Though not definitively, they could eliminate many wall creatures.

Moreover, there's a Big Fireworks not far from here, yet this vine monster hasn't consumed it, making Taichu Zhenren suspect this vine monster has constraints on its devouring abilities.

It should be noted, too, that the vine monster's body contains numerous symbols, indicating it has devoured countless wall creatures. Yet, despite devouring countless creatures, it's only somewhat stronger than Taichu Zhenren, which seems unrealistic.

According to the rules of devouring, even if the vine monster retains merely one-tenth of the Demonic Qi and Evil Qi after each devouring, its strength shouldn't be reduced to its current state.

Of course, although this is acknowledged, this vine monster's strength surpasses Taichu Zhenren's.

Perhaps due to some unique limitations this vine monster faces; otherwise, its power wouldn't manifest this way.

Nonetheless, this isn't what Taichu Zhenren is concerned about at present. Because the vine monster is stronger and has numerous special abilities, Taichu Zhenren is not a match for it.

If this vine monster indeed fights Taichu Zhenren explosively, Taichu Zhenren would be instantly killed.

Aside from other abilities, the vine monster executing two to three moves, or even four at once, could instantly kill Taichu Zhenren, with no chance for retaliation whatsoever.

Even if Taichu Zhenren counteracted, it would have no effect, only revealing to others that Taichu Zhenren resisted.

Taichu Zhenren is considering an escape because confronting this vine monster, merely the symbols on its body, quash any desire to fight. In simple terms, this wall creature is so strong that combat seems impossible.

Its mere appearance exerts immense oppressive force.

Crucially, the symbols on this vine monster are genuine, not decorative.

Taichu Zhenren is confident of this because earlier, the symbols on the vine monster's tendrils flashed as it unleashed a flame-like move.

Admittedly, the move was mediocre, not particularly powerful, yet did correspond to a symbol.

If Taichu Zhenren really chooses to fight this vine monster, preparing for sudden and complete defeat, without any retaliation opportunity.

Thus, Taichu Zhenren is plotting an escape, which is essentially about fleeing, since Taichu Zhenren lacks any means of resistance, nor does anyone present possess the ability to resist.

If this vine monster didn't have numerous abilities, the group might successfully resist.

Nevertheless, given the vine monster's wide array of abilities, it's pre-established in an unbeatable position, leaving attempts to confront it as sheer folly.

The vine monster's execution of two or three strong moves could effortlessly annihilate the group, sharply and decisively.

Despite Taichu Zhenren's unwilling resignation, no solutions are forthcoming; they surely must flee like before, identical to previous encounters.

Indeed, this retreat might be even more miserable than before, as prior encounters with wall creatures, despite higher strength compared to Taichu Zhenren, resisted intensely, offering fighting chances.

This time differs, lacking any chance for counteraction, and if escape occurs, they would count themselves lucky, thanking their fortune exceedingly.
