Evolving infinitely from ground zero

At the moment the striking sound echoed, Xia Liu, whose Biological Level reached the great perfection of High Level Ninth Order, exploded into pieces, turning into a shower of blood that spread across the ground, disappearing completely from this world.

After killing Xia Liu, the vines swept toward Shen Qinghan, who lay on the ground as their next target.

Just as the vine was about to strike the seemingly delicate and fragile body of Shen Qinghan—

"Boom!"

The ground beneath Shen Qinghan suddenly burst open like an inflated balloon, exploding violently.

Then, a large amount of groundwater gushed out from below, enveloping Shen Qinghan in a watertight membrane of water on the surface.

"Bang!"

The vine, with the force of a mountain's weight behind it, struck the water membrane fiercely.

However, instead of shattering the water membrane and the Shen Qinghan shielded within into a puddle of blood as expected,

the vine itself instantly shattered into wood chips at the seemingly soft touch of the water membrane.

Witnessing this scene with her own eyes, the Vine Flower Woman's entire being widened her eyes in disbelief at what she had seen.

My vine, with the strength of an Epic existence, how could it not penetrate through a mere layer of water membrane?

What exactly is going on?

The Vine Flower Woman felt utterly baffled by this and suspected she was hallucinating.

She steadied her emotions slightly.

The Vine Flower Woman once again controlled a vine, violently whipping it towards Shen Qinghan within the water membrane.

"Bang!"

That familiar sound rang out again.

The vine lashed heavily against the water membrane, instantly shattering into wood chips.

This time, the Vine Flower Woman finally surrendered to the reality before her.

The water membrane shielding Shen Qinghan could easily withstand the full force of an Epic Level Creature's blow.

What in the world was that water membrane?

And what was the situation with the Earth girl inside the water membrane?

It was simply inconceivable...

The Vine Flower Woman curiously observed Shen Qinghan within the water membrane, realizing that the events unfolding were beyond her comprehension.

This made her hesitate.

She hesitated over whether to take Lin Zichen or the Shen Qinghan inside the water membrane with her.

Lin Zichen was certainly special, that much was clear.

But Shen Qinghan at this moment seemed even more special than Lin Zichen, placing her in a tough position, making her unsure of how to decide for a good while.

As she was struggling to make a decision,

The ground of the cage began to seep water at a visibly fast rate, quickly turning the previously slightly dry ground into a wetland covered with water.

Having never seen such a bizarre scene, the Vine Flower Woman immediately became cautious.

No longer hesitating between taking Lin Zichen or Shen Qinghan, she closed the flower bud and opted to take the risk-free Lin Zichen, to offer him as a sacrifice to the great Flower God.

But just as the flower bud fully sealed,

The Vine Flower Woman's expression changed slightly, incredulously finding that her flower bud could not burrow beneath the ground to connect to the Holy Land far beyond the horizon.

What's going on?

Why can't I teleport away?

With this confusion, the Vine Flower Woman furrowed her brows and opened the flower bud to see what was happening outside that could prevent her flower bud from teleporting away.

Soon, the flower bud opened.

The moment the flower bud opened, a large influx of icy water poured in from outside, instantly bursting the flower bud—despite its Epic Level strength—into several petals.

Seeing her own flower bud burst by water, the Vine Flower Woman was full of astonishment, suspecting she was under an Illusion Technique, seeing an illusion.

Her flower bud was an Epic Second Order strength!

How could plain water possibly burst it?

The Vine Flower Woman tried to calm her emotions and extended her spiritual power to sense the surrounding environment.

She hadn't expected to feel startled from this sensing effort.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Vine Flower Woman discovered in horror that she was not in the familiar cage but found herself in a completely unknown underwater world.

Have I been teleported?

When did it happen?

When was I teleported here?

Why don't I feel anything?

The vine woman thought with growing horror, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Since evolving into an Epic Level Creature, she had seldom felt such panic; she was always the one causing panic in other living beings.

At this moment, inexplicably being transported to a completely unfamiliar environment, she felt panic that she hadn't experienced in a long time and didn't know what to do.

Hm?

Is there a palace ahead?

Under the constant perception of her spiritual power, the vine woman quickly sensed a majestic palace a few miles ahead.

The palace was huge, so huge that it made the vine woman wonder in disbelief.

She didn't understand why there would be a palace in this underwater world.

Could I have accidentally entered a ruin?

Suddenly, the vine woman thought of this possibility.

Then, in less than a second, the panic and disbelief in her heart were all transformed into excitement and eagerness.

She had only thought about coming to this battlefield to capture someone and bring them back.

Unexpectedly, she encountered a delightful surprise and actually entered a ruin!

In the Origin Land, entering a ruin meant that there was a great possibility of obtaining a vast amount of special evolution resources.

And with a great deal of evolution resources, her Biological Level could advance even further.

With this in mind, the vine woman did not hesitate for a second and immediately swam at the fastest speed toward the gigantic palace a few miles ahead.

Her speed was so fast that she created large swirling undercurrents in the water.

In less than half a second.

The vine woman had traveled a few miles and arrived in front of the palace.

Behind her, trailing a chrysalis connected by vines.

And inside the chrysalis, Lin Zichen was wrapped up, controlled by her.

"Creak——"

Suddenly, a deep wooden sound rose.

The doors of the palace opened.

The vine woman instantly became vigilant and swiftly pulled back a great distance, not daring to approach the opened doors of the palace rashly.

As an Epic Level Expert, she had explored several ruins before and knew that, apart from opportunities, ruins were places fraught with immense danger.

To rush in recklessly could mean death in minutes, becoming one with the evolution resources of the ruin.

"You've finally come..."

Just as the vine woman was considering how to enter the palace and find out what was inside, a faint woman's voice suddenly emerged from the palace, rippling the exterior of the palace.

Hearing the words "You've finally come", the vine woman was filled with confusion.

What did that mean?

What does it mean by 'you've come'?

The whisper of a demon, luring me inside?

The vine woman was very cautious and wasn't lured by the voice coming from inside the palace.

"God..."

"Great God..."

"Please bestow upon us strength..."

Inside the palace, a series of awestruck cries echoed.

Listening to these cries, the vine woman's confusion deepened, and her curiosity and wariness about what was inside the palace grew.

She had entered several ruins before but had never encountered one with continuous voices coming from within.

"God!"

"God! You have finally responded to us!"

"God! Has finally appeared!"

Suddenly, the voices inside the palace became excited. Your adventure continues at empire

The vine woman was puzzled.

Then she suddenly saw a frail figure drifting over from behind her.
