Chapter 181 Breaking Through the Poisonous Mist
The Star Dou Great Forest is located almost in the central part of the continent, with a pleasant climate. The temperature remains between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius year-round. Winter is almost nonexistent, let alone snow and ice.
Sunset Forest is more than a thousand kilometers north of Starry Sky Forest. If you continue north for a sufficient amount of time, you can reach the far north.
The far north.
Mentioning that familiar name, Su Yu knew that one day he too would have to go there. After all, he wasn't yet capable of safely returning from the far north.
Given Su Yu's current strength and Xue Di's unstable state, if Su Yu were to risk going to pick up his adopted grandson Xiao Bai and take him home, he would most likely end up being swallowed whole by the Titan Snow Demon King.
Because this place is close to the far north, the temperature is much lower.
In this environment, the vegetation is primarily coniferous forest, which is better suited to low to medium temperatures. Of course, some subtropical plants are also present.
Although Su Yu didn't know what subtropical plants grew in this relatively cold place...
Compared to the Starry Sky Forest, the biodiversity here is not as abundant, so it appears sparse. However, the vegetation that can survive here is more resilient.
As soon as we entered the Sunset Forest, we started to see spirit beasts.
However, these soul beasts were pitifully weak, completely incomparable to the Star Dou Great Forest that Su Yu had visited. Compared to the Star Dou Great Forest, the soul beasts encountered here were far too weak.
All the creatures he encountered here were ten-year-old soul beasts. It has to be said that the barrenness of this place exceeded Su Yu's expectations. It was supposed to be a forest, but now it really was just a forest...
The further Su Yu walked, the more he understood that this place was nothing compared to the Star Dou Great Forest. Although there was only one character difference between "forest" and "great forest," the Star Dou Great Forest was, after all, the premier gathering place for soul beasts on the entire continent. Its core, the Great Perilous Land, along with the far northern core circle of the far north and three other extremely dangerous places, was known as one of the five forbidden zones of the human world.
There's simply no comparison between the two.
Originally, there were only three forbidden zones in Douluo Continent. However, after the collision between the Sun and Moon Continents, two more appeared. Those two places are Qiankun Asking Love Valley and the Demon Forest.
After another hour of progress, Su Yu had ventured deep into the Sunset Forest. The further he went in, the denser the vegetation became.
However, even though Su Yu had already entered a deeper part of the Sunset Forest, there were still no powerful beings around him. Su Yu knew that the place he was going to was inhabited by a bunch of 100,000-year-old plant-type ferocious beasts, and it was perfectly normal that there were no other powerful soul beasts around.
The number of spirit beasts in Sunset Forest seems to have dwindled considerably, a conclusion drawn from Su Yu's observations during his entry. This is understandable, however; a small forest like this couldn't possibly harbor many powerful spirit beasts. Sunset Forest simply cannot be protected by the powerful spirit beasts that guard the Star Dou Great Forest.
It is precisely because human needs are constantly growing that this ebb and flow of growth makes it impossible for soul beasts, which require a long period of time, to continue to reproduce. This is also the reason why the soul beast crisis occurred in Douluo Continent II.
As the light in the Sunset Forest dimmed, Su Yu opened the Eye of Destiny without hesitation.
In his Eye of Destiny, the fine dust particles in the surrounding air began to reveal more colors and terrain as Su Yu continued to activate the Eye of Destiny.
"I'm almost at my destination."
The Sunset Forest looked peaceful, but there seemed to be a thin mist drifting through it. What shocked him even more was that the mist gradually faded and disappeared in the distance from where they had come from, while it seemed to grow thicker as they continued forward.
From a distance, it even resembled a cloud that had fallen into the forest, obscuring the vegetation. And this cloud wasn't just white; in the distance, several other colors appeared as well.
Su Yu saw all of this clearly with his Eye of Destiny, and realized that he seemed to be extremely close to his destination.
As he went deeper, Su Yu felt a slight discomfort, as if his body was showing signs of poisoning.
miasma?
However, the current concentration of miasma has no effect on him at all; it only makes Su Yu feel slightly uncomfortable. Right now, he needs to conserve his soul power to deal with the crisis that follows.
After advancing several hundred meters, Su Yu finally began to feel dizzy. Although the miasma made him feel uncomfortable, with his powerful vitality, he could even suppress and neutralize Meng Hongchen's Ice Toad Poison. This miasma was not a threat to him.
"It seems we need to find a way to resolve this, otherwise it's just a waste of time."
Su Yu took out his soul tool, aimed it at the open space in front of him, and a pure white energy bullet exploded ten meters in front of him.
The soul tool Su Yu used wasn't actually that advanced; it was just a level four soul tool called the Wind-Breaking Cannon.
This wind-breaking cannon was originally used by Su Yu to create powerful wind pressure to repel enemies. Its actual combat attack power is not great, but like the knockback bracelet, it can affect the opponent's actions.
However, it can only affect Soul Masters with four rings.
The moment the energy bomb exploded, a powerful wind pressure burst forth, instantly clearing away the surrounding poisonous miasma. With the miasma dissipating, Su Yu's speed increased significantly.
Now that Su Yu has used this thing here, it has produced miraculous results. Judging from the current situation, Su Yu can at least reach the outer perimeter of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
However, the poisonous miasma gathered very quickly, forcing Su Yu to use the Wind-Breaking Cannon frequently. Fortunately, the soul power consumed by this thing was not much for Su Yu.
This favorable situation did not last long. Later, the miasma became so thick that it was almost like severe smog, making it impossible to see the road.
Su Yu's initially incredibly effective Wind-Breaking Cannon is now completely ineffective against the miasma. Even if it blasts open a clear space, it's immediately swallowed up by the miasma.
Now he had no choice but to summon his Blood Dragon Armor. As a crimson light enveloped Su Yu's entire body, a crimson energy shield also blocked the miasma from entering.
After breaking through the layers of miasma, he arrived in a world filled with vibrant colors.
Looking at this colorful world, this thing is not a beautiful thing, but a deadly poison.
The poisonous miasma here is no longer the pure poisonous miasma it once was; it has become a perilous place created by mixing various poisonous gases and substances.
Looking around, Su Yu could see the decayed bones of humans and soul beasts from time to time. This place was a desolate wasteland with no other living beings except for plants!
"These soul beast corpses themselves are already nutrients for the poisonous miasma, which then continuously attacks other creatures, even birds flying overhead. This cycle repeats, making the poisonous miasma increasingly powerful. If I could create it, I wouldn't need to worry about the Myriad Mirror Sect being discovered by others."
Looking at the poisonous miasma before him, Su Yu suddenly had a bold idea. If that were really the case, then all that would be needed to enter and leave the Myriad Mirrors Sect would be some specially made antidote items. He could simply place all the members of the Su family in the Myriad Mirrors Sect, which would avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Now, the seven-colored poisonous miasma seemed to stick to his protective shield, and under the powerful corrosive effect of the miasma, Su Yu could clearly feel his soul power being consumed at an alarming rate.
Fortunately, everything on his Blood Dragon Armor was a complete set, even the accompanying soul-guided shield was level eight. The current poisonous miasma would only make it troublesome for Su Yu to clear out; its current strength couldn't corrode his level eight soul-guided Blood Dragon Armor.
It took Su Yu a full half hour to walk a distance of just a few hundred meters.
With each step he took, Su Yu could feel his soul power being rapidly depleted.
This forced Su Yu to stop and recover his soul power. Since becoming a five-ring Soul King, Su Yu had never felt his soul power depleted.
Despite all the preparations I made, I was still left in such a sorry state by this poisonous miasma. If I were the Azure Serpent King, I wouldn't be in such a mess.
Even if it's not the Azure Serpent King, any poison-attribute martial soul would be fine.
After more than an hour of searching, Su Yu has now basically pinpointed the exact location of the target.
However, the pressure from the poisonous miasma outside was becoming increasingly intense. The seven-colored miasma had even made it impossible for them to see what was happening outside the soul-guiding shield. Su Yu needed to constantly strengthen the soul-guiding shield to maintain it.
The Seven Wonders of Azure Phosphorus Flower.
After a difficult journey, Su Yu finally arrived at the last hurdle.
"Finally, I've reached the source of these poisonous creatures. I think that as long as I take some of these Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers with me, or if I cultivate a plant-type soul beast with intelligence, it's only a matter of time before my ideas come true."
The scene before them was extremely spectacular. Large swaths of emerald green poisonous clouds gathered, and under the detection of Su Yu's Eye of Destiny, the poisonous clouds of the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus had completely enveloped the valley where the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire was located.
In other words, regardless of whether Su Yu chooses to follow the map or enters the valley from another location, he will be attacked by the poisonous clouds of the Jade Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers.
Although both ice and fire have a considerable effect on limiting and destroying miasma, unfortunately, his current strength is far from sufficient. If Su Yu were a Soul Saint now, then perhaps if he were to unleash the full power of Ice Limitless, he could bring a large-scale blizzard and freeze the area in front of him.
If I were to pass by, it would be incredibly easy, but I can't do that right now. Even if I could freeze a small part of it, the rest of the poisonous clouds would instantly corrode me.
After all, this is one of the most potent poisons in the world!
The most outrageous thing is that some of the Azure Phosphorous Seven Absolute Flowers have evolved into Azure Scale Nine Absolute Flowers. Looking at the dense flowers, Su Yu felt that the difficulty of his task had increased several times over.
Su Yu knew that his intrusion today was not in vain. At least he had figured out the whole layout and seen the terrifying nature of the miasma cloud of the Seven Absolute Flowers of Azure Phosphorus. If he had assumed he knew the map and the extent of the risks from the beginning and had rushed in headfirst, his fate would probably not be much better than those Soul Masters who had become part of the poison cloud.
A halberd made entirely of fragments appeared in Su Yu's hand. Su Yu stomped heavily on his foot, and an invisible force spread out. Within a radius of several hundred meters, snowflakes began to appear at a visible speed, and then formed a blizzard in a certain area.
"The boundless天地 (heaven and earth) are cold with ice and snow!"
These Jade Scale Seven Absolute Flowers fear the cold, and Su Yu's current use of the power of extreme ice completely suppresses them.
The seven-colored poisonous miasma was indeed powerful, but as soon as Su Yu's blizzard appeared, it immediately showed a tendency to attach itself. However, the blizzard itself was constantly gathering, and it contained the power of extreme ice.
This greatly suppressed the Seven-Colored Poisonous Mist. Under the extreme cold of the ultimate ice, the Seven-Colored Poisonous Mist quickly disintegrated, and large swaths of poisonous mist turned into ice blocks with eerie colors and fell to the ground at a visible speed.
As the blizzard subsided, Su Yu saw an area free of poisonous fog.
Without the slightest hesitation, he activated his soul tool and flew rapidly towards the central area.
Just as Su Yu was about to approach the Azure Scale Nine Absolute Flowers, a large amount of poisonous clouds gathered again and bombarded Su Yu's location.
"Is this never going to end?!"
"The extreme ice has no bounds!"
A long, icy blue river appeared, and a large amount of soul power continuously converged towards the ice crystal halberd in Su Yu's hand.
The next instant, the poisonous cloud engulfed Su Yu.
"break!"
A loud shout came from within the poisonous fog, and a hundred-meter-long river of ice crashed down, instantly splitting the poisonous fog in two!
The moment this icy river appeared, a large number of Azure Scale Seven Absolute Flowers around it withered rapidly. Some of the Azure Scale Seven Absolute Flowers that had become soul beasts were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, looking like a beautiful work of art from afar.
Noble, deadly!
The chill of the icy river swept out, and the desperately resisting Azure Scale Nine Absolute Flowers could no longer stop Su Yu with the poisonous mist. The large amount of seven-colored poisonous miasma quickly dissipated, and finally, an absolutely safe area appeared within a radius of several hundred meters around Su Yu.
"I'm exhausted. This thing is nothing like the one in the original story. If I didn't have enough soul power, I would be dead on the way."
Su Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, and a wicked smile appeared on his face as he looked at the trembling Jade Scale Nine Absolute Flowers not far in front of him.
"Still trying to run?"
A massive ice crystal halberd landed in front of the Azure Scale Seven Absolute Flowers and Azure Scale Nine Absolute Flowers that were trying to escape.
A series to be completed in one's lifetime.
The story is long, but it will eventually come to an end.
