In fact, some areas were even more damaged than the previous ones.
It was unknown what had torn the earth apart. Deep trenches tens of thousands of feet deep could be seen everywhere.
Chen Xiao could even feel an astonishing killing intent from some of the ravines.
Obviously, the person who had caused all this damage had an extremely fierce attack, and the killing intent coming from his body was also extremely terrifying.
Even though many years had passed, there was still a terrifying killing intent left in this place. Chen Xiao could, but if the person in his prime had released this killing intent, he would probably not be able to withstand it, let alone fight against him.
An ant!
Chen Xiao felt like an ant in the face of such a terrifying existence!
After taking a deep breath, Chen Xiao stopped on the spot for a full hour before calming his mind and continuing on his way.
After walking for another hundreds of thousands of miles, Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up. The scene in front of his eyes was no longer that completely black stone. Something seemed to have grown up on the desolate land.
As they drew closer, the scene before them became clearer and clearer.
It was a fern-like plant. It grew in clumps one after another, forming a large area. Each plant was nearly ten meters tall, causing the plants to appear green from afar.
When Chen Xiao got closer, he immediately felt the abnormality of the place.
Other than these ferns, there was nothing else in this place. If there really was a fern, then there was a layer of moss on the ground that could be considered a living thing.
However, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this area was slightly higher than the surrounding areas. It was probably because of this reason that this place was not bald like the other places and instead grew ferns.
"There should be a spirit stone vein growing here!" Chen Xiao guessed in his heart, and he subconsciously walked closer to the ferns.
Even though they were only facing plants, Chen Xiao still remained vigilant. Who knows if these things would produce any mutations?
Chen Xiao was a bit relieved when he got closer. He stood under a fern, but he still couldn't see any changes to these plants.
Looking up, these ferns had huge branches, but their branches were very short. They were only about five meters tall, and more than half of them were covered by leaves.
And at the top of the tree, there was even a dark red fruit.
These fruits were only the size of a fist. There were about ten of them growing on the fern in front of him. If one took a closer look, one would be able to smell a very seductive fragrance.
Chen Xiao was sure that he had never seen this thing in any ancient scrolls before. Thus, it could be seen that it was probably the first time Chen Xiao found it.
Although he didn't know what the fruit was used for, Chen Xiao was an alchemist. He could tell that the fruit contained a lot of energy. If he could make a pill out of it, he would definitely be an extraordinary existence.
Of course, the prerequisite for all of this was that this pill wasn't poisonous. If one could eat it then it would poison someone to death. Even with Chen Xiao's methods, it would be difficult to turn it into a pill.
No matter what, he could just take a test first.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiao leaped up and was about to pluck a fruit.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere suddenly changed!
The fern leaf in front of Chen Xiao suddenly seemed to come to life, it actually grabbed towards Chen Xiao!
However, Chen Xiao's reaction was extremely fast. Even though he had put down most of his concentration earlier, he still remained vigilant.
The moment the fern leaf was grabbed, he suddenly turned around and passed by it.
Before Chen Xiao landed on the ground, a dense crowd of Jue Ye suddenly joined the encirclement and rushed to grab Chen Xiao.
At this moment, the originally shrinking or blooming leaves were like animals that had come alive, grabbing towards Chen Xiao, attempting to catch him.
However, Chen Xiao's movement technique was so profound that even though there was a huge limit on his movement technique, he still couldn't touch Chen Xiao's body.
Chen Xiao's actions seemed to have alerted the other ferns around them. Even the ground started to erupt with large amounts of rhizomes. These rhizomes were like plants grabbing towards Chen Xiao, instantly reducing his range of movement by more than a circle.
After dodging a few times, Chen Xiao realized that he couldn't do anything. He would only be forced to move less and less by these things.
Chen Xiao had no choice but to take out his Meteor Sword and no longer avoided them. Instead, he charged straight at them.
Any chance of getting close to Chen Xiao was immediately cut off.
With a swoosh, the ground under Chen Xiao was filled with large amounts of leaves. The fern plant closest to Chen Xiao was left with only a few leaves growing on top of its head. The rest of its body was now completely bald.
Not only the leaves, but also the roots of the plants.
As if it was because they were scared by Chen Xiao, or because they noticed that Chen Xiao wasn't something they could afford to offend, the ferns suddenly shrunk back and the roots disappeared into the ground.
After seeing that the roots of the plant were gone, Chen Xiao let out a cold snort and lightly floated to the ground.
He looked around and confirmed that nothing was going to attack him. Then, he stood up and flew towards the dark red fruit.
This time, there wasn't the slightest resistance from the lotus leaves. It was as if it was really an ordinary tree that allowed Chen Xiao to pluck the fruit.
"Heh, what a bunch of bullies!" Chen Xiao laughed. His eyes fell on the dark red fruit in his hand.
The fruit was oval in shape and looked like a fire dragon fruit. However, it was completely different from the layer upon layer of fire dragon fruits. It was more like a layer of the scales of a secret manual. It was extremely beautiful.
Chen Xiao was not polite and kept the Meteor Sword. He pinched the fruit with both of his hands and slightly broke it.
The next moment!
The faint fragrance suddenly became rich. Even Chen Xiao, who had caught a whiff of it, could not help but feel his spirit tremble.
"There's actually such a rich energy!"
Chen Xiao couldn't help but gasp in surprise. The energy contained in this item was even several times stronger than the Dao Fruit Chen Xiao had seen before.
However, the energy within the Dao Fruit was not the main thing. The main thing was the perception of the world contained within it. And, this fruit in front of him seemed to be pure energy.
From the looks of it, it did not seem to be a poisonous substance.
After a slight hesitation, Chen Xiao still broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth.
The moment the fruit entered his mouth, it melted and turned into a stream of pure energy that flowed into Chen Xiao's body. It even caused Chen Xiao's cultivation technique to circulate automatically.
Chen Xiao closed his eyes and started to carefully feel the changes in his body.
