The small island in the lake was about tens of thousands of meters in diameter. The island was surrounded by ruins of vegetation that had withered to the extreme and seemed to turn into ashes. It was lifeless. Only a large tree nearly a thousand meters tall stood in the center. It was supposed to be here.
The branches look lush and leafy, but at this moment, each branch looks sparse.
Moreover, the leaves above are withering at a slow speed, and the completely withered leaves are falling off the branches one after another.
Covering thousands of meters in radius, like a giant umbrella, only ninety-nine fist-sized green fruits are condensed on the branches. The connection with the branches seems to be very tough, no matter how wind blows or rains, it will not
fall off.
Heavenly Spirit Treasure Tree!
Heavenly Spirit Fruit!
It is said that the Tianling Baoshu takes three hundred years to bloom, three hundred years to bear fruit, and three hundred years to mature. During its flowering period, the Tianling Baoshu looks like a lush tree with lush vegetation all around.
However, during the three hundred years when the Tianling Fruit begins to mature, the extremely vigorous vegetation around it will gradually absorb its vitality and slowly wither and die. This is not enough. When the surrounding lush vegetation all
After it withers and dies, even the leaves of the Heavenly Spirit Treasure Tree itself will be affected, and their vitality will also be absorbed by the Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
Now, it is coming to an end, and the Tianling Fruit is almost fully mature. Naturally, the leaves on the Tianling Treasure Tree are almost withered, and only a few are still withering.
wait!
Everyone is waiting.
There were less than a hundred souls who crossed the lake and reached the island. The others were either killed by the monsters in the lake, or were seriously injured and retreated one after another, not daring to set foot again.
Therefore, the nearly one hundred Concentrating Souls who finally landed on the island were all at the peak of the Concentrating Soul Realm, and each of them had extraordinary strength.
Among them, most of them are cultivators from outside Chongling Secret Territory, such as disciples of Jiuzhong Tianque, or disciples of other forces, etc., while a small number are local cultivators in Chongling Secret Territory.
Chen Zong and Qing Yan stood together, their eyes slowly sweeping over, seeing everyone clearly.
The divine will broke through to the second realm and gave birth to brilliance, which also made Chen Zong's perception more acute. He could make some judgments through the slightest breath emitted by the other party.
He joined forces with Qing Yan, but Dengxing, who had previously joined forces, stood with Wu Dao. When he saw Chen Zong's eyes, he smiled slightly at Chen Zong.
But that Suihan was alone.
In addition, Chen Zong also saw Bao.
There is no doubt that Bao is also a person. He does not need to join forces with anyone. Standing there, his whole body is filled with an unparalleled aura of domineering. There is no need to cover up or deliberately distribute it. It is as if he has become the focus, allowing people to feel it.
When it becomes so powerful, I am afraid of it.
Faced with Chen Zong's gaze, Chen Zong condensed, and the radiance that erupted seemed to contain substantial power, which made Chen Zong secretly frightened.
"Stronger!" Chen Zong was surprised.
The original strength of the beast was ridiculously strong. In the ruins of the Dead War at that time, Chen Zong estimated that the beast's strength at that time should be enough to get through the sixth floor of the battle tower.
In other words, even if his current strength is more than twice as strong as it was then, he is still no match for him at that time.
But now, Chen Zong felt that Bao's strength was even stronger. He was really a monster. He didn't know who could compare with him.
Sweep, sweep, sweep!
There are not many people who can bring a feeling of threat to Chen Zong, among them, Bao is the strongest, followed by Suihan, Dengxing and others. Although Wu Dao also brings a feeling of threat to Chen Zong, it is not strong.
Of course, bringing a sense of threat does not mean that you can defeat or suppress yourself, but it can bring a certain amount of pressure and a certain threat to yourself, that's all.
Who is stronger or weaker can only be known after a true battle. Of course, Chen Zong can be sure that he is not an opponent of Xi. Unless he can superimpose the power of the sword, the way of the heart and the way of the world, he will be able to win.
There is hope for a competition with Xi, but it is just a competition.
In addition to these people, there are a few others who pose a threat to Chen Zong.
Three of them come from other families or sects outside Jiuzhongtian Palace. The last one poses a threat that is not inferior to that of Dengxing. He is a young man with short blue hair, which stands on end.
Like a steel needle, there is an astonishing aura permeating the air. He is wearing a blue short robe. His aura is restrained, but there is an eager publicity that seems to burst out at any time.
This person is a cultivator of Chongling Secret Realm.
The next step is naturally to wait for the Tianling Fruit to fully mature.
However, while waiting for the Tianling Fruit to mature, there are still some important things to do.
That...is clearing the place!
There are ninety-nine Heavenly Spirit Fruits. There are nearly a hundred people present. In theory, everyone can get one. However, this is not a child's play like dividing the fruits, nor is it treating guests to dinner and showing humility to each other.
To fight for it, everyone is eager to get all the Heavenly Spirit Fruits into their bag.
Of course, that is impossible, but it is not impossible to obtain a few more Heavenly Spirit Fruits.
In order to prevent the Tianling Fruit from being picked by others due to too many people after the fruit matures, even more directly, it is to consume it immediately. Of course, the consequences of this are not good, but it is a wasteful behavior that will destroy the fish and the net.
Therefore, it is necessary to clean up the place before the Tianling Fruit matures.
Without enough strength, even if you are lucky enough to cross the 10,000-meter lake and set foot on the island, you will stop there.
"The Tianling Treasure Tree and the Tianling Fruit belong to our Chongling Secret Realm. You outsiders, why don't you leave quickly." An old man next to the young man with short blue hair suddenly spoke, with a calm and authoritative tone.
He is exactly from Chonglingtian Palace.
"What a joke, why are you letting us leave just because of your old face?" People from the outside world laughed incessantly.
The battle begins here.
At the beginning, it was naturally a conflict between the local cultivators of the Chongling Secret Realm and the outside cultivators.
I don’t know who was the first to take action. It was like a fuse, and it got out of hand and turned into a fierce battle.
"Get out!" Chen Zong slashed horizontally with his sword, and the light of the sword broke through the strong points, directly flying the attacker away and falling into the lake.
Qing Yan and Chen Zong joined forces, so naturally they would not break away, but would take action in the surrounding area, repelling others one after another, regardless of life or death.
The gap between strong and weak becomes apparent.
Although they have the same cultivation level, the weak ones are no match for the strong moves.
I saw the big mace striking across the field, killing several people directly, and it was extremely cruel.
"Let's go!" Some people's faces were extremely ugly. It was too scary. With that kind of strength, they simply couldn't deal with it. If they took action forcefully, they would be killed directly.
Those who know the current affairs can only retreat with full of reluctance, while those who do not know the current affairs will be seriously injured or even killed in the battle.
While Chen Zong was taking action, he also paid attention to the battles of others, especially the strength of those who felt like a threat to him.
The key point is Wu Dao and Sui Han, two people who have never seen their strength, and other strangers, especially the young man with short blue hair in the Chongling Secret Realm.
As soon as the short-haired young man took action, there were streaks of blue lightning. The lightning and thunder were so powerful that they blasted through the air. Those who were hit were sent flying backwards, with blue electric current shining all over their bodies, and they were severely injured.
A bolt of blue lightning broke through the air, like a spear, and the terrifying aura seemed to blast Chen Zong to pieces.
Chen Zong swung his sword to meet the attack. The sword light trembled and shattered in an instant, but the blue lightning was also shattered by Chen Zong's sword.
"He actually blocked it." The young man with short blue hair was secretly surprised. He took action again and punched out. The fist power condensed by blue lightning carried an even more terrifying power and struck.
Chen Zong also killed with one sword, which was more powerful.
Two collisions, followed immediately by a third collision, but they both shattered each other, and no one could do anything to the other.
The scene was chaotic, and it was destined not to be a battlefield between the two of them, unless the two had the strength to crush the others, but that was obviously not the case. At least the strength of Bao was still invincible here.
One-on-one, no one is his opponent.
The fierce battle started very suddenly and quickly, and ended very quickly. In the end, only a dozen people were left on the island, each in their own camp.
Bao is on his own, Suihan is on his own, Dengxing and Wu Dao are on his own, Qingxiang and Chen Zong are on his own, as well as Wang Mangli, Moroluo, Shengtian Liusu and others are also joining forces. As for Chongling Secret Realm
On one side, there are only two people left, one is the old man who spoke before, and the other is the young man with short blue hair, both of whom are of extraordinary strength.
Compared to nearly a hundred people, there are only a dozen or so people left, and each person can undoubtedly get more Heavenly Spirit Fruit.
But, should it be allocated in this way?
No!
Everyone wants to get more Heavenly Spirit Fruit, so there is bound to be competition.
And the young man with short blue hair, Lan Yu, is the first genius of Chongling Tian Palace and the first genius of Chongling Secret Realm. He does not allow outsiders to take away the Tianling Fruit. Although it is impossible, he must do his best.
Try your best to stop it.
If you can prevent it, it counts.
Time passed slowly, day after day passed, and everyone was waiting. The leaves on the branches continued to intensify the process of withering.
For cultivators, they have to adapt to any environment. The environment here is not bad. Even if they stay for a month, there is no problem. What's more, it is only for a few days, and it is still to get a good opportunity.
Bao is in one camp, Suihan is in another camp, Dengxing and Wu Dao are in another camp, Qingxiang and Chen Zong are in another camp, and others, such as Wang Mangli, Moroluo, Shengtian Liusu, etc., all have their own camps.
.
On the last day, everyone's eyes became sharp.
Because the ninety-nine Heavenly Spirit Fruits were about to mature, the leaves on the branches intensified the process of withering, and finally withered completely. A gust of wind blew by, breaking the leaves, and fluttered in the sky with the wind.
At the same time, the original green color of the ninety-nine Heavenly Spirit Fruits scattered on the branches with a radius of several thousand meters became more and more vivid, and vaguely, as if they were dripping green, became more rounded.
It became more full, vaguely, and wisps of halo spread, giving it an inexplicable smell.
