"What is that?"
When Patriarch Ling noticed the black vines, he didn't pay much attention to it and assumed that it was some sea-vine-type demon spirit. It was normal for such a demon spirit that didn't have any soul spirit to be unaffected by his Emperor Intent. Hence, he casually shot out three finger forces towards the black vines.
Clang! Clang!
However, he was astonished when his finger forces—which could easily destroy three mountains—couldn't even sever the black vines. There was merely a dull clashing sound which repelled the black vines hundreds of meters away.
"These black vines are actually so tough?"
The Ling Clan's Patriarch was silently surprised but didn't really mind it. He had an even stronger ability, and even if he didn't, so what if he couldn't severe the vines? He could easily repel the black vines and not let them approach.
"The Thearch Palace is being pulled away?"
