Chapter 444: The Dark Spirit Fruit Tree!
The moment the words were spoken, a figure stood up.
The figure had a tall and straight posture, resembling a landmark. His sword-like eyebrows, high nose, thin lips, and pair of jet-black eyes that glinted with a hint of crimson under the night sky made an impression. He seemed to be in his twenties, exuding an unspoken aura of pressure.
…
Moonlight cascaded softly, like a ribbon, casting light on the shining mountain peaks.
High in the sky, a massive beast silhouette flapped its wings, soaring and circling.
“Swoosh…”
A lithe figure gracefully descended from the back of the beast, akin to a fairy dancing across water. The figure appeared ethereal, with flowing black hair, an orange dress that swayed in the wind, and landed effortlessly on the mountain peak without stirring a speck of dust. She radiated an aura so transcendent, it seemed as if she was a celestial being descending from the heavens.
This graceful, captivating figure appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. Her delicate red lips and clear eyes shimmered like water in the moonlight, while her orange dress highlighted her slender figure and accentuated her graceful curves.
“Hiss!”
As the figure descended, Shenzi saw a massive python coiled around a rock. The snake, entirely black with a dragon-like head, had half of its body upright, including its head. Its eyes shone with a faint golden light that resembled emeralds.
This was the Ninth Nether Demon Sneak. Its wings were slightly spread, casting a dim, eerie light that shone deeply. However, before the girl, the snake seemed surprisingly gentle and affectionate.
“Little Ink, I’ll be heading to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. Wait for me here for half a month. I’ve prepared some elixirs for you, so make sure to cultivate well!”
The girl stroked the head of the Ninth Nether Demon Sneak, a dragon-like creature. Her black hair was tied back with strands falling over her forehead, giving her a wild edge. Her clear eyes shimmered like water, calm and fearless even before the fierce demon beast, as if she were petting a harmless creature.
“Boom!”
Hearing the girl, the Ninth Nether Demon Sneak released a surge of energy, its wings fluttering and its hiss reverberating through the air.
“Listen, you can’t go in there!” The girl reassured the Ninth Nether Demon Sneak.
“Hiss…”
The Ninth Nether Demon Sneak seemed to understand it couldn’t follow and reluctantly gave up. “I wonder if that guy went to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords… it would be best if he did…” the girl murmured softly, her bright eyes radiating an inexplicable allure.
…
“Hehe…”
Within the mysterious space of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, continuous laughter echoed—”hehe.”
Before Su Yi, piles of Yuan Stone powder accumulated. A vast array of medicine bottles, pills, herbs, extraordinary weapons, miscellaneous items, and even martial arts scrolls lay in front of him, though not many.
These cultivation resources were stacked like small hills.
Su Yi laughed aloud. The harvest from the tens of thousands of space bags was truly significant.
The inner and outer disciples of the Divine Sword School who entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords had all come prepared with supplies, including ample pills.
Now, all of it had fallen into Su Yi’s hands.
Almost all the supplies the inner and outer disciples of the Divine Sword School had gathered were now in Su Yi’s possession. The amount must be immense, considering the number of people involved.
Take the pills, for instance—though they were of common quality, there were nearly one hundred thousand of them. That alone was a terrifying quantity.
Su Yi didn’t even bother counting them. After a quick glance, it was clear that there were far too many to tally in a short period of time.
Su Yi held four Sword-patterned Stones, which he had obtained from the tens of thousands of space bags. The fact that only four were found among so many people indicated that these items were rare.
“Could there be opportunities for fortuitous encounters in those places?”
After leaving the mysterious space, Su Yi sought out a group of demon beast leaders and inquired about locations within the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords that might hold opportunities for serendipity.
Naturally, these demon beast leaders knew the battlefield best.
They shared their knowledge, mentioning a few places where serendipitous encounters might occur, though the details were vague. These places were not always easy to identify.
“Master, the places where fortuitous encounters happen can only be found by those destined for them. However, there is one place that may not have such encounters, but it does contain many Sword-patterned Stones and a Dark Spirit Fruit Tree. The Dark Spirit Fruit is ripening now!”
A large, snake-like creature spoke up, relaying this information to Su Yi.
“Dark Spirit Fruit Tree…”
Upon hearing this, Su Yi’s eyes gleamed. The Dark Spirit Fruit Tree was indeed a treasure!
It was said that a cultivator in the Yuan Spirit Realm could break through on the spot by consuming a Dark Spirit Fruit, which also cleanses the physical body.
While these two effects alone made the fruit valuable, what truly intrigued cultivators in the Yuan Spirit Realm was the rumor that after consuming a Dark Spirit Fruit, the transition from Yuan Spirit Realm to Yuan True Realm could become almost effortless.
However, Dark Spirit Fruits were incredibly rare. Though they were most beneficial to cultivators in the Yuan Spirit Realm, they were priceless and could not be purchased.
The Dark Spirit Fruit Tree itself was even rarer. Once discovered, even major sects and clans would stop at nothing to seize it for their own.
“Where is it located?”
Su Yi immediately asked, aware of the fruit’s potential benefits. Being in the Yuan Spirit Realm, obtaining a Dark Spirit Fruit could greatly aid his breakthrough to the Yuan True Realm. He could not afford to miss this chance.
“Master, it’s only a few hundred miles ahead, but the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree is not easy to approach.” A white-scaled monster cat, with a grave expression, replied.
Su Yi now understood that the Dark Spirit Fruit was coveted by all demon beasts, whether large or small leaders.
The issue, however, was that a group of Wolf-headed Demon Bats had long been guarding the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree.
Wolf-headed Demon Bats were no ordinary creatures. They lived in groups, and not only were they numerous, but their bloodline was also strong, making them formidable opponents.
Their strength was so great that even demon beasts of the same rank tended to avoid them, unwilling to provoke them.
“There is a Bat King among the Wolf-headed Demon Bats, whose cultivation has reached the Peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm. It is the strongest presence here, and very difficult to handle.”
A massive black ox with tree-like legs once shared that it also sought the Dark Spirit Fruit, as consuming one would significantly enhance its body and powers. However, it was wary of the Bat King, knowing it could not defeat it.
“The Peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm!”
Su Yi frowned. The Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords was indeed dangerous.
No wonder it was said that even the direct disciples of the Divine Sword School were likely to face casualties within the battlefield. Demon beasts at the Peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm were far too strong for any inner disciple to handle.
Nonetheless, Su Yi wasn’t overly concerned. He knew that the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique on his body could suppress demon beasts. If a fight were to break out, he would have significant advantages.
