Chapter 473: Spirit Fruits, Spirit Herbs, Demonic Beasts！
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Standing before such an incredible creation, everyone could feel themselves getting tense. Even Wang Wuyou narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brows. With his understanding of cultivation, without reaching a certain realm, it was impossible to go against the heavens like that. The might of a single person was so small in the face of the power of the heavens and earth.
After a quarter hour, only a scant few hundreds of Xiantian cultivators out of thousands who came made it onto this landmass. Everyone else had failed.
Many cultivators could not ascend to the peak even though they had the golden rays to lessen the suppressive pressure. The Xiantian cultivators had to climb up from Hangu Pass as they could not fly.
Not everyone had the ability to reach the peak too. The hundreds of Xiantian cultivators who managed to arrive here were all elites. The weakest ones were all at the peak level of Xiantian cultivation. More than half were at the Fake Dan realm!
Everyone felt a great pity as they intended to bring along their subordinates and disciples to leave. In the present era, those who could cultivate to Xiantian late stage and above were extremely gifted. In the event that a path to other worlds was found, they would be able to improve tremendously, becoming great aides to them.
“Ka-cha!”
The spatial rift on the outside started to restore itself, eventually disappearing completely. While the outer realm was pitch black, a faint layer of neon light illuminated the ground, giving the entire area a gloomy hue.
At this time, everyone could sense that the mausoleum was beginning to move slowly!
“What an incredible feat, being able to keep such a huge piece of ground hidden in between spatial layers.”
Everyone felt incredibly shocked in this moment as they fantasized about how much stronger the cultivation realm to create something like this was than theirs!
The land was so huge that there was no end to be seen, and though the faint light shining onto it was not as bright as sunlight, it was enough to reflect the beauty of the land into everyone’s eyes.
“Although we cannot make a breakthrough today, there are still countless spirit fruits on this land which we can take advantage of. That’s also an excellent opportunity for us. If we cannot break through, then we shall strengthen our foundations!”
Nobody was dumb. They all knew that even if they couldn’t break through, they could still make good use of the resources there. Thus, everyone swiftly left in different directions.
10 teams were formed, with the Vatican as the strongest. With over 300 experts, their numbers made for one-sixth of those present!
China’s group had over 100 cultivators, and was considered strong as well.
The reason why the different teams of cultivators did not fight over the fruits was due to the fact that there were plenty of them. Secondly, the passageway hadn’t been discovered, and so everyone abstained from fighting.
Bei Feng’s group also broke away from the teams. For some unknown reasons, Wang Wuyou also followed his group.
The little fox looked around the surroundings weakly, its beady little eyes open with interest. Under Bei Feng’s protection, it was in no danger at all. But at this point, its life was already as though the fire of a lit candle, which could be easily extinguished by the slightest of winds.
“Hou!”
A 10 zhang tall gorilla suddenly roared and pounded its chest ferociously with its fists as it hauled a 10000 pound rock at Bei Feng’s group.
“As expected of a place with rich Heaven Earth Lingqi, even a random Demonic Beast is on the level equivalent to a Fake Dan expert,” Bei Feng, unalarmed, said in a bland voice as he watched the huge rock soar towards him like a cannon ball. His face was expressionless, and his brows did not even twitch.
“Dang!”
Mystic One stepped out and simply waved her hand, stopping the humongous rock in its tracks. With another wave, the rock changed directions and flew towards the gorilla with even greater speed!
“Wu, wu!”
The demonic gorilla whose muscles looked like heavy-weight metal chunks made a frightened expression, and threw its arms out in panic, smashing at the rock.
“Boom!”
The huge rock crashed into the gorilla’s arms; without slowing down, it crushed the arms and shot through its chest!
The demonic gorilla collapsed with its body almost in halves as a horrifiying gap appeared in its chest.
“Tsk, what a waste,” the Cerberus mumbled as its body transformed into one 100 meters long and gobbled down the dead beast in one gulp.
“Crunch, crunch!”
Sounds of the bones being chewed and crushed could be heard as blood dripped from the Cerberus’s mouth.
“Indigestion, please don’t make such a disgusting mess next time, or you’ll know the consequences.”
Seeing the huge drops of fresh blood dripping down sloppily, Bei Feng glared unfriendily at Indigestion as a dark-red light flashed in his eyes.
The fruits of the Illumination God Tree indeed could help to suppress the evil energy, but the fruits usually took a long time to reach a certain effectiveness, and the effect was too short. Qualitatively, it was not a match for the evil source energy, and could only suppress its influene temporarily.
And right now, the Illumination God Tree was in Bei Feng’s herbs ring. The Illumination God Fruit had already been maturing for 3 years, but it was still far from enough to meet the required standard.
The smell of fresh blood pounding at Bei Feng’s nose had awakened the evil source energy which he had suppressed for three years with just his cultivation alone.
“Understood.”
Indigestion looked over with an annoyed expression, but the moment it saw the look in Bei Feng’s eyes, it instantly slunk back with shock. If the ‘other’ crazy guy was let out, it might really end up as a hotpot ingredient if it weren’t careful.
‘What was that burst of Qi? The aura reeks of savagery and such evil!’
Wang Wuyou looked at Bei Feng with disbelief, thinking to himself about how well Bei Feng had hidden this evil energy of his. Only just now was its presence noticed by him.
“Interesting, how many other secrets are you still hiding?” Wang Wuyou muttered under his breath, then turned around and vanished without a trace.
Seeing that Wang Wuyou had left, Bei Feng heaved a sigh of relief as well. Wang Wuyou’s presence had brought him too much stress. After all, it was still good to take precautions… although Wang wuyou did not seem to have any treacherous motives towards them.
As the strongest energy fluctuations spread out from the landmass’s center, everyone headed in that direction.
Countless Demonic Beasts roamed the huge landmass; with such dense Heaven Earth Lingqi, the spirit fruits, spirit herbs, and Demonic Beasts all grew extremely quickly!
In no time, there were ongoing fights breaking out every second on this land. Cultivators fought with Demonic Beasts protecting precious spirit herbs and spirit fruits, while the Demonic Beasts fought the cultivators for their blood and flesh.
Bei Feng’s group did not have a goal in mind as although the spirit herbs and fruits were good, they were only of Grade 5 or 6, which was not very useful to him.
Hence, they headed straight ahead without a care. Only if it was on the way would Bei Feng grab at the spirit herbs in passing and collect them into his herbal ring.
“That’s the Blood Wood Fruit that can increase one’s chance of becoming a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert by 30 percent! Heavens, there are thousands of them up on this tree!”
A gigantic blood-red tree stood straight. Its circumference would be like that of three or four people hugging together, but its height did not even reach 20 meters.
The entire tree looked old and the bark dry, as though it had experienced big calamities. Only a few branches were still green; attached to them was an abundance of blood-red fruits the size of one’s pinky.
Within a diameter of 10 li, there was no life to be found. The ground here was also different than elsewhere, appearing to be parched dry with cracks all over.
A group of over 20-30 people appeared near the tree—one of them had exclaimed in surprise.
A single fruit could raise the chances of a Xiantian expert breaking through to the Controlled Dan realm by 30 percent. This was an extremely terrifying concept by itself, but this tree alone had hundreds to thousands of such fruits! It was simply a priceless treasure!
But the group was not blinded by greed as they approached the tree with great caution.
“Chirp!”
“Ah!”
“What the hell is this thing!?”
“Ready your defenses!”
“Die for me!”
A loud shriek pierced through the air. Though the majority of people present were Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, the sound seemed to target the souls of everyone present, causing everyone to fall into a dazed state.
Everyone managed to regain their senses within a second, but an unknown creature wrapped in a dark light which had the height of only a chopstick could be seen flying over with a shocking speed!
In the time it took for a single breath to transpire, more than 20 people had been knocked unconscious by it.
The remaining people all panicked and shouted in fear, with no idea what their enemy even was.
In the next moment, as quiet ensued under the tree again, a black centipede that didn’t even reach the size of a chopstick appeared on top of one of the fainted Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert’s head and quietly slid into his ear.
A few minutes later, it crawled out and repeated the same actions to everyone.
If their heads were opened, others would find that the heads of all these people would be empty as the centipede had already devoured their insides cleanly!
“Ah, This King’s chance has finally appeared!”
A dark light shone from the centipede’s body as a terrifying aura not inferior to a peak level Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert surged out of its body!
With a body the size of a chopstick, it was hard to imagine how the centipede could have such an amount of energy within its body. As its aura surged out, it looked like a black sun rising into the sky!
At the same time, within a 10-li-wide deep pond that was filled with so much seaweed that its bottom could not be seen.
Surrounding the center of the pond were 10 millstone-sized blossoming lotus flowers. The dense Heaven Earth Lingqi was being sucked into the flowers from all directions.
A group of over 40 Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts stood nearby, mesmerized by the sight. Although they did not know what spirit herbs the lotus flowers were, they knew that they had to be extraordinary simply by looking at the extraordinary phenomenon around it!
The people patiently watched on for the next 10 minutes as the petals of the lotus flowers withered one by one, revealing over 10 lotus pads, each containing nine jade-colored seeds. Each seed had the size of an infant’s fist and released jade-green rays into the sky, causing a jade green cloud to form above the pond!
“The spirit herb has matured, everyone proceed. Beware of your surroundings, and remember that there is a share for everyone given the number of seeds here.”
The lotuses contained such powerful energy of life that an old man shook with excitement.
Without any hesitation, they rushed towards the lotuses, taking great caution against their surroundings and also against those around them.
Although everyone knew that there was enough to share, a person’s greed would inevitably tempt one to get a bigger share, and thus take more risks for that end.
