Chapter 682: The Resistance of the Heart

Li Yang frowned slightly and looked down at the vines wrapped around his feet.

The fluorescent tentacles of the plants were constantly tightening, as if they were going to drag him into the ground.

"Interesting..." He whispered softly, with a hint of interest in his eyes, "It seems that this [heart] is not so easy to take."

Seeing this, Ella immediately prepared to step forward to help.

But Li Yang waved his hand, signaling her not to act rashly.

"Don't come over." He said lightly, "This thing... You may not be able to deal with it."

As soon as the voice fell, more vines broke out from the ground, like flexible snakes, winding towards Li Yang's body.

At the same time, the [heart] that was originally suspended on the altar also began to tremble violently, emitting a dazzling green light.

The servant who tried to step forward to take the [heart] was also tightly entangled by the same vines, his eyes wandering back and forth between Li Yang and the [heart], with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

"Li Yang..." it whispered, "Can you really... do it?"

Li Yang did not answer, but just watched the climbing vines quietly.

The tentacles of the plants had already wrapped around his waist, as if they were going to devour him completely.

At this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yang's mouth.

"Since you have to do this..." he whispered, "then don't blame me for being rude."

Before he finished speaking, a powerful energy burst out from his body.

[Otherworld Taker·Water Grass] reappeared, and countless dark tentacles poured out of Li Yang's body.

Like a sharp blade, it instantly cut off the vines wrapped around him.

The severed plant tentacles twisted wildly, as if wailing in pain.

But Li Yang did not stop there.

He raised his right hand, and a crystal clear mushroom appeared in his palm-[Frozen Mushroom].

In an instant, a chill swept the entire temple.

Those wildly growing vines were instantly frozen and turned into ice sculptures.

"Crack——"

Li Yang gently crushed the ice under his feet and walked forward slowly.

"Really..." He chuckled, "boring..."

But just as he was about to touch the [heart], the change reappeared.

The originally frozen vines suddenly burst open, and countless tiny spores filled the air.

Those spores flashed with strange light, as if they had life, rushing towards Li Yang.

"Be careful!" Ella exclaimed, "That's..."

Before she finished her words, Li Yang had already reacted.

[Starry Bloomer·Carambola] bloomed in his hands, and countless meteors fell from the sky, burning all the spores in the air.

A raging fire suddenly ignited in the temple, and the heat wave rolled.

The servant spirit was also blasted aside by the huge shock of the sudden explosion, and was almost buried by the ruins.

But it did not make any sound, just watched it all silently.

Its eyes were filled with complex emotions, including awe, expectation, and a hint of imperceptible...sadness?

Li Yang ignored the movement behind him and continued to move forward.

The [Heart] was right in front of him, emitting a faint green light, as if tempting him to get closer.

However, just as he was about to touch the [Heart]...

"Boom--"

The entire temple shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

A huge crack appeared in the ground, and countless vines emerged from it, thicker and more violent than before.

They entangled the surrounding stone pillars, turning the entire temple into a huge living creature.

Li Yang was interrupted by this sudden change and had to take a few steps back.

"It's rare to see such a strong-minded [Heart]..."

"It seems..." He narrowed his eyes slightly, "You really don't want me to take you away."

As soon as the voice fell, the vines suddenly contracted and lifted the entire temple from the ground.

Li Yang, Ella and the spirit, along with the [Heart], were taken to the sky together.

The temple turned into a huge vine monster, suspended in midair.

From the outside, it looked like a huge blooming flower, and they were in the center of the pistil.

Ella looked at the surrounding scene in horror and took a few steps back involuntarily.

"What...what is this?" she asked tremblingly.

The spirit servant sighed softly: "This is the true form of the [heart]..."

"It has completely merged with this world."

Li Yang stood in place, his eyes still fixed on the suspended [heart].

"Interesting..." he said softly, "It seems that this time it won't be so easy."

As soon as the voice fell, countless vines attacked him again.

This time, they were faster and more powerful, as if they were going to tear him apart completely.

Li Yang no longer hesitated and threw out [Star Watcher·Sunflower] again.

The dazzling light bloomed again, like a miniature sun, illuminating the entire space.

Under the strong light, the vines screamed in pain and retreated one after another.

Li Yang took the opportunity to rush forward, his fingers about to touch the [heart]...

However, at this critical moment.

"Crack——"

A crisp sound came, and Li Yang turned back suddenly.

I saw that Ella had been entangled by vines without knowing when, and the tentacles of the plants were constantly tightening, as if to crush her.

"Sorry... I... neglected..." Ella spoke with difficulty, her face had turned red due to lack of oxygen.

Li Yang paused for a moment.

He looked at the [Heart] that was close at hand, and then at Ella who was entangled by the vines, frowning slightly.

At this moment, the spirit suddenly spoke:

"Don't worry about her..." It whispered, "Take away the [Heart] and end it all... After all, this is your mission."

Li Yang turned his head to look at the spirit, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Mission?" He chuckled, "When did I say that I came here for some bullshit mission?"

After saying that, he turned around and swiped a golden star towards Ella.

[Starry Bloomer·Starfruit] bloomed again, and countless meteors fell from the sky, burning all the vines entangled with Ella.

After being rescued, Ella gasped for breath, with a frightened expression on her face.

"You..." She looked at Li Yang, her eyes full of complex emotions.

Li Yang didn't say much, just patted her shoulder gently.

"Then next..." He turned around and locked his eyes on the [heart] again, "We have to change our approach."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yang suddenly jumped high and pounced on the [heart].

Countless vines attacked him like tentacles, but he dodged them flexibly.

[World Devourer·Big Mouth Flower], [Eternal Towering·High Nut], [Star Realm Piercer·Pea Shooter], [Star Domain Bomber·Cherry Bomb], [Starry Bloomer·Starfruit], [Otherworld Taker·Water Grass]...

Li Yang threw out all the various plant abilities he had obtained in the past.

Faced with the [heart]'s all-out resistance, Li Yang naturally let go and did it.
