Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Who Dares Compete with Me! (3 more)

Sea and Sky Barrier, core area.

This region’s terrain was quite complex, with high mountains, deep canyons, and streams flowing through, yet everything was a ghastly black, shrouded in poisonous miasma and emitting a pungent foul stench. The poison gas incessantly tried to penetrate the protective primordial energy of cultivators that entered, eroding their vitality.

Short exposure was bearable, but over time, it became a significant burden since every moment spent here required a portion of one’s elemental power to resist the poisonous gases.

Fortunately, Ling Feng had prepared some Detoxification Elixir in advance, keeping one in his mouth, and was almost unaffected by the poisonous miasma.

As for the black donkey...

It seemed to have no such worries.

"If we can’t find it after searching for another day, we’ll have to give up," Ling Feng clenched his fists, resolute in his decision.

He had too many things to take care of to linger in the Sea and Sky Barrier indefinitely.

Boom!

After about half a day’s journey, as the sun set in the west, Ling Feng was almost ready to give up on the Nine Profound Creation Fruit.

Just then, from deep underground, there came a series of dull thuds. The ground shook for hundreds of miles around, and a voice from afar shouted, "The Nine Profound Creation Fruit has appeared!"

Ling Feng was momentarily taken aback, then immediately sprung into action, dashing towards the source of the commotion. At the same time, nearly every martial artist who had entered the core area of the Sea and Sky Barrier began to move.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One figure after another shot out like bolts of lightning. Along the way, Ling Feng saw many people darting past him, some of them elderly, emitting terrifyingly powerful auras that even made Ling Feng’s blood run cold. Such formidable old monsters were definitely not opponents he could cope with.

In an instant, at least a hundred people had converged from all directions, drawn by the irresistible lure of the Nine Profound Creation Fruit.

The eruption that had just occurred was at a vast plain, surrounded by desolation, the soil turned pitch black by the relentless erosion of the poisonous fog.

Ling Feng’s gaze swept across, seeing in the center of the plain two awe-inspiring elders in a stand-off, and, between them, there was a gold-colored plant floating midair.

The plant was about the length of an arm, with a fruit the size of a fist on top, and two thick leaves growing on the main stem. Upon closer inspection, one could see four mysterious engravings on each of these leaves and another pattern on the stem, making a total of nine engravings.

Such Xuan patterns were fashioned by Heaven and Earth Creation, filled with the vast transformative power of the cosmos. No wonder they held such terrifying medicinal properties.

Astoundingly, the root system of the plant was constantly writhing, as if countless little feet were racing in unison. Yet, they were impeded by the power of the two strong elders and could not budge an inch.

The two elders in the stand-off were both Divine Origin Realm powerhouses, and judging from their aura, they were more than ten times stronger than the likes of Li Yunting and Yun Qianfan!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With such a treasure right in front of them, the cultivators who had been waiting eagerly could hardly restrain themselves. Their eyes bloodshot with craze, they charged forward. Who wouldn’t be moved by such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Not to mention other effects, the mere extension of two hundred years to one’s lifespan was enough to drive people mad.

After all, who would complain about living too long?

Martial artists from all directions converged, each channeling their Elemental Power, causing explosions and chaos so intense the heavens and earth seemed to lose their color, and the sun and moon were bereft of light!

Some cultivators at the Origin Transformation Realm were slightly more ingenious, clutching treasures such as Transmission Talismans and Void Talismans. As soon as they got their hands on the Spiritual Medicine, they would crush the talisman and flee swiftly.

Everyone was like chickens injected with adrenaline, using every trick in the book. Luminous glows surged around, and waves of power swept across, turning the desolate flatland into a maelstrom of violent energy. Almost every second, blood would spurt high into the air. Below the Divine Origin Realm, anyone who entered would almost instantly be torn to shreds by the violent forces, turned into a bloody pulp.

Those cultivators in the Origin Transformation Realm, who initially wanted to fish in troubled waters, finally obediently withdrew from the battle, not daring to advance another half-step. It seemed that such an opportunity, after all, was only within the reach of the strong in the Divine Origin Realm.

However, they still lingered nearby, hoping that the fight between the stronger martial artists would result in mutual destruction. Then, they might still have a chance to pick up the spoils.

Ling Feng watched the battle with great interest, even forcibly restraining Despicable Donkey from acting rashly, preferring to wait and see how things would unfold.

It wasn’t every day one got to witness so many powerful individuals unleashing their most guarded skills in such a grand battle. To Ling Feng, this was like a series of living, breathing secret manuals!

Aside from the Low-level Martial Techniques, Ling Feng continuously activated the Heavenly Dao Eye. He had already memorized about ten Earth-level Martial Techniques just by watching.

Even if Ling Feng didn’t practice these techniques himself, once he returned to the Wenxian Sect, he could copy them down to serve as the sect’s Inheritance Techniques.

With these Earth-level Martial Techniques, the overall strength of the Wenxian Sect was sure to take a massive leap forward.

The great melee did not last very long. Until now, the core combatants had been whittled down to four people, each emanating an awe-inspiring aura. They were all experts of the Fifth Realm of the Divine Origin Realm or above, each possessing incredible strength.

At that moment, a green figure streaked across the western sky, holding a dark green Great Sword, and slashed down with extreme ferocity at the four top-notch experts within the fray.

The might of a single sword was such that even those experts above the Fifth Realm of the Divine Origin Realm did not dare to underestimate its edge, as they each retreated hastily, watching the direction from which the Sword Qi had come with grave expressions.

Ling Feng’s eyelids twitched as he looked towards the green figure. In the blink of an eye, he saw a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties or forties, arriving on the scene. The man stepped on the Void with his right hand gripping the sword, surrounded by a faint green light, exuding an unstoppable divine presence, as if a deity had descended.

"Who dares to compete with me!"

The Green Robed Man bellowed proudly, his figure flashed, and he leaped beside the four old ancestors of the Fifth Realm of the Divine Origin Realm. Terrifying Divine Origin Power erupted, as he sought to compete against the four others with his might alone, aiming to secure the Nine Profound Creation Fruit for himself.

"Who... who is this man!"

"He is definitely not from a third-class sect!"

"Still, there are no secrets that do not leak. The news of the Nine Profound Creation Fruit emerging in the Sea and Sky Barrier has indeed spread!"

"He must be a master from one of the Imperial Families!"

It didn’t take long for the crowd to speculate that this Green Robed Man was probably a strong figure from one of those super families in the Imperial City, otherwise he wouldn’t possess such a frightening level of strength.

"Hmph, I am Lio Chengjun, the second Family Head of the Imperial City’s Lio Family! You all should retreat promptly!"

Lio Chengjun swept his gaze across, and a palpable Killing Intent spread throughout the field, sending chills down everyone’s spine.

Ling Feng touched his nose and looked with interest at this "Uninvited Guest," muttering to himself, "The Lio Family of the Imperial City?"

Now that he mentioned it, he actually had some scores to settle with the Lio Family. There was a junior in the Lio Family named Lio Shengjie, whom Ling Feng had "assisted" by applying the Cutting Off Descendants Kick. (PS: See "Chapter 336: The Cutting Off Descendants Kick!" for details.)
