“Suppression?” Chu Tong frowned slightly. “But I don’t sense any energy fluctuations here. How did you determine that they were suppressed?”

Chu Tong was not the only one who was puzzled. The others were also puzzled. They also did not sense any energy fluctuations here. They did not understand how Xiao Shi had determined that these trees had been suppressed.

Xiao Shi pointed at the stars in the sky. “I believe you have already sensed that every checkpoint in this special area represents a previous era. If I’m not wrong, this checkpoint represents an era related to stars.

“However, 1 couldn’t be sure of this previously because 1 didn’t see anything related to stars in this domain. I only saw many different trees. Therefore, I can’t be sure if this area is the era of stars or an era related to trees.

“It wasn’t until 1 discovered that these trees couldn’t move that 1 was certain that this checkpoint was an era related to stars. The reason why these trees can’t move is because they are suppressed by the stars. It’s not just these trees. This domain… should also be suppressed by the stars.”

Xiao Shi analyzed it seriously. Everyone came to a realization. This would explain why there was a noticeboard outside this domain. That was because this domain was a suppressed domain. Naturally, it did not want anyone to enter!

“In other words, the Sage in this domain is also suppressed!” Chu Tong’s eyes lit up. This was very reasonable. Under normal circumstances, Sages in their domains were not something they could resist at ail. Moreover, such Sages had probably already killed them all the moment they entered the domain.

Yet so far, they had not encountered any danger when they entered this domain. The trees here looked very threatening. However, since they could not move, they only needed to go around them. This was very in line with Xiao Shi’s analysis.

“Actually, the main problem now is that we need to figure our as soon as possible how strong the Sage suppressed here is! ” Xiao Shi said in a low voice.

At the moment, it was basically certain. There was definitely a Sage in this domain. Moreover, rhe key to passing this level was the Sage here. The trees here did nor pose any threat to them. But the problem was, how strong was this suppressed Sage? They could only analyze that this Sage was suppressed now. He was not strong enough to be undef eatable, but the exact strength was unknown.

“Every Sage has power that Martial Demon Realm cultivators can’t match. Even if they are suppressed, they can’t be underestimated.” Chu Tong said seriously. Although he had a Red Refined Corpse in his hand now, the strength that the Red Refined Corpse could unleash was very limited without the Red Refined Secret Technique.

They followed the path in this primeval forest and kept moving forward. They avoided the surrounding trees along the way and did not encounter any danger. But even so, Xiao Shi did nor relax because of this. He was constantly vigilant and alert.

After they advanced for a distance, a sharp whistle sounded, like the sound wave produced by a missile launch. It was sharp and mournful.

“Be careful!” Xiao Shi seemed to have sensed it and hurriedly warned them. His figure flashed and he dodged to the side. At the same time, he controlled his iron Refined Corpse to charge up.

The others did the same. Someone even took out a treasure. A barrier formed above his head. However, in the next second, the barrier shattered with a bang. A thick afterimage broke through the barrier and descended from the sky, smashing towards everyone.

Many people’s Iron Refined Corpses rushed out to block it. It bought time for everyone’s guards. As a result, these guards immediately used their fastest speed to bring the box that sealed the demon avatar away.

Boom!!

T here was a loud bang. A deep ravine appeared where they were originally standing. Everyone looked over. What they found on the ground was a thick vine that was like a water tank. It was covered in green leaves. Its tip was as sharp as a sword needle, and its roots extended into the distance.

Xiao Shi extended his spiritual sense along the vines. He sensed that the vine came from a towering tree that was unimaginably tall. He could only sense a rough outline with his spiritual sense. He could not see the full picture.

Many Iron Refined Corpses were actually blasted far away by this vine even though they blocked together. Among them, some of the Iron Refined Corpses’ bodies were damaged in the resistance. After all, these Iron Refined Corpses were too old, and many parts of their bodies had begun to rot. Such a high-intensity battle would accelerate the damage to their bodies.

“Sage!!” Everyone was shocked. From the whipping power of this vine, they realized that this was a terrifying power that only Sages possessed. The vine was like a huge snake, twisting and turning. It raised its tip and stared at everyone. Then, it locked onto one of the Martial Demon Realm cultivators.

Swoosh!

It lashed at the Martial Demon Realm cultivator. The one who was attacked by the vines was a Martial Demon Realm cultivator from the Great Wu Empire.

T he moment the vines whipped at him, an indescribable sense of danger filled his entire mind, making him feel that he could not dodge.

As this person no longer had any exclusive items, he could only use his Iron Refined Corpse to block it. The other Martial Demon Realm cultivators who saw this scene also controlled their Iron Refined Corpses to help resist it. Including the Martial Demon Realm cultivators of the three major domains. Under such circumstances, they didn’t want to see anyone on their side die. Every loss would make it even more difficult for them to deal with the Sage on this level. This was also the main reason why Xiao Shi was willing to share the information of this level with them. After all, they had to fight against a Sage in this round. This was not something that one or two people could deal with. It required everyone to work together.

However, the attack of this vine was too powerful. Even if these Iron Refined Corpses blocked with all their might, they could not completely resist and were forced back again. While the Iron Refined Corpse was blocking, it allowed the Martial Demon Realm cultivator who was attacked to retreat in time and temporarily dodge the vines’ attacks.

“Chu Tong, what are you doing?! Why aren’t you attacking?!” The Martial Demon Realm cultivator who was attacked could not help but ask.

While all of them were using their Iron Refined Corpses to block the vines’ attacks, Chu Tong did not let his Red Refined Corpse participate. At the same time, he hid far away and did not contribute at all.

Facing this cultivator’s question, Chu Tong said coldly, “Shut up!” While everyone was resisting the vines, he rushed into the sky and rushed out of the thick tree crown. His field of vision instantly widened. He saw a huge ancient tree not far from them under the blue sky.

It was impossible to estimate its height with a single glance. It was like the legendary World T ree that was connected to the sky. Its crown was like clouds, and its branches extended dozens of kilometers to both sides.

Compared to it, the trees in this primitive forest were like saplings and weeds. In the canopy that was like clouds, a vine was hanging down. It was as agile as a living snake. It was the vine that was attacking them.

“The Sage of this domain… is actually a tree!” Chu Tong was shocked. This was something he had not expected at all. After all, in the current Tianwu Continent, there were only human Sages and no such plant Sages..
