Chapter 143: The Golden Fruit Tree, Slaughter

Chapter 143: Chapter 143: The Golden Fruit Tree, Slaughter

This elixir was extremely important to him.

Advancing the progress of Blood Refinement shortened the time it took to become stronger, far surpassing anything else.

"It looks like this harvest won’t be small."

Liang Hui’s palm stretched forward, and an azure glow rose from within his hand.

A piercing screech.

An azure giant snake leapt out from the glow and plunged directly into the azure lake waters.

Layers of ripples were stirred up.

It swiftly made its way towards the tree in the middle of the lake.

The azure giant snake hadn’t gone far from the shore

when a dull roar echoed across the surface of the lake.

Azure lightning erupted from the bottom of the lake, covering half of its surface with flashes of electricity.

A narrow beastly shadow, over ten meters long, followed the lightning and charged straight at the azure giant snake.

Standing on the shore, Liang Hui remained expressionless, showing no sign of change.

Playing with lightning before him? That kind of power

wasn’t enough!

He had already seen through the lightning to the beastly shadow attacking him—a mutated electric eel, nothing more.

He leisurely withdrew his extended palm.

In the lake, under the control of the young man, the tail of the blue snake suddenly whipped forward.

Boom!

The water, mixing with lightning, exploded outright.

The electric eel was sent flying, bloodied.

The blue giant snake had already reached the eel, its thick body coiling tightly and relentlessly constricting.

Amidst piercing shrieks, the electric eel twisted, deformed, and broke into several pieces.

Blood blossomed on the surface of the lake.

The blue snake flicked its tail, hurling the lifeless eel onto the shore.

Then it swam even faster towards the center of the lake.

Liang Hui conveniently collected the body of the eel. The flesh and blood of an Exotic Beast of the Organ Refining Level were not common finds.

Whether used as food or medicine, it was a good choice.

By this time, the blue snake had traversed a great distance, drawing very near to the center of the lake.

Along the way, it shredded several Exotic Beasts hiding in the water, attempting to ambush.

Suddenly, a flash of brown streaked by.

The blue snake exploded on the spot, Inner Strength and water scattering all around.

Liang Hui’s gaze sharpened as he watched the waters surrounding the Golden Fruit Tree.

With his eyesight, he had seen the recent attack clearly.

It was a brown long snake with a triangular-shaped head.

It suddenly burst forth, instantly shattering the blue snake.

At the same time, Liang Hui also sensed the Qi-Blood within the brown long snake, condensed to the extreme.

Even he felt a hint of danger.

"But it is just a hint of danger after all."

The young man reached into his robes. When he extended his hand once more, the Crimson Jade Bell was already floating above his palm.

His eyes indifferent, he gazed at the calm lake surface.

The next moment, the bell trembled faintly.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

The temperature began to climb sharply.

Trees turned to ash, the ground became molten lava.

The surface of the lake began to boil, massive amounts of steam rose and were almost instantly incinerated.

Various agonized cries came from the lake.

Fish, shrimp, and various strangely shaped Exotic Beasts, all turned belly up and floated on the surface.

The dense pile of beast corpses covered the entire lake.

Such a scene was undoubtedly terrifying.

Yet, the boy’s expression did not change as he looked for the still missing brown long snake.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

If it wouldn’t show itself, then he’d burn down this entire lake.

Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!

With each toll of the bell, the lake’s surface dropped.

Even the Golden Fruit Tree in the center of the lake began to wilt, a result of Liang Hui intentionally avoiding and even protecting it.

Whoosh!

The boiling lake suddenly exploded.

A gray shadow rushed toward the Golden Fruit Tree at incredible speed.

But a streak of crimson-gold sword light was even faster, and in an instant, it slashed onto the gray shadow.

Tear!

Amidst specks of blood, the gray beastly shadow was repelled.

At the same time, endless Fire Birds emerged around Liang Hui, surging towards the gray snake shadow.

They quickly engulfed the shadow, leaving only relentless flames burning in the sky.

Seizing this opportunity, the bell in his hand tolled anew.

The shockwaves scattered the rocks and soil at the base of the Golden Fruit Tree.

Then, a streak of crimson-golden light shot across, sweeping up the Golden Fruit Tree and bringing it to the boy.

Hisss!

Amidst hissing sounds, a gray snake shadow swelled in size.

At the same time, a dark black mist began to spread.

The Fire Birds wrapping around the gray snake dissipated along with it.

When it appeared once more, it was already a giant snake over a hundred meters in length.

The dark mist left trails of corrosion as it spread across the ground.

With a hiss, the parched riverbed cracked inch by inch.

It charged towards Liang Hui with ferocity, its golden snake eyes filled with spite.

The young man chuckled lightly and took the Golden Fruit Tree into his arms.

At the same time, the Crimson Jade Bell began to hover above his head.

In his extended palm, an ancient Longsword materialized.

The hilt was pitch black, the blade crimson red, with threads of golden patterns along the blade.

Upon its appearance, the temperature around him soared once again, the extreme sharpness leaving sword marks on the glassy ground.

"The sword’s name is Crimson Cloud, please feel its edge!"

The next moment, his arm brandishing the ancient sword danced.

The black mist dispersed, the gray snake screamed.

In the world, there was only crimson-gold, nothing else to see.

When the brilliance faded, a charred piece of bone fell from the sky.

The youth retracted his Taoist Sword and stepped forward across the ground.

Looking down at the palm-sized remains, they were the final trace of the grey Exotic Snake.

However, since it could maintain existence under the Taoist Sword, it must be extraordinary.

Gathering the remains, he placed them into his storage space.

Liang Hui swept a glance around, ensuring nothing was overlooked.

After casually dealing with the remnants of battle, he chose a direction and dashed off.

Trees, rocks, and various fierce beasts constantly passed by his sight.

Not until an hour had passed did Liang Hui stop in front of a rock wall.

Drawing his sword from his waist, he made a foothold and entered.

He began to deal with the spoils of the battle.

First, Liang Hui took the Golden Fruit Tree out of his storage space.

He carefully placed the golden fruits from the tree into a medicine box.

There were a total of thirty-five Golden Fruits.

Without hesitation, he immediately bit into one of them.

As soon as the flesh entered his mouth, sweetness filled his palate, then turned into streams of warmth flowing towards his blood.

His already viscous blood increased its flow, and his Inner Strength spontaneously began to warm nurture his blood, refining it.

Suddenly, the sound of rolling waves echoed throughout the cave.

"The effect is good!"

Liang Hui quickly swallowed the remaining fruit flesh.

He then took out an ancient mirror from his chest and laid down a layer of golden film in the cave, sitting down to cultivate.

About a day passed.

Liang Hui opened his eyes, his expression carrying joy.

In just one day, his Blood Refinement had advanced by 0.5%, and considering his current speed of cultivation, it would normally take two days to advance 0.5% in the Blood Refining Realm.

The speed of his martial path cultivation had doubled.

The most important thing was the medicinal effect of the Golden Fruit, which had not yet dissipated.

It would probably take another day to completely finish.

That is to say, consuming one Golden Fruit would allow two days of cultivation to result in 1% progress.

If he consumed all thirty-four remaining fruits,

he would certainly complete most of the Blood Refining Realm.

Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, he felt the blood and Inner Strength rapidly circulating within his body.

Liang Hui stood up, carefully put away the remaining medicine box, and stored it in his storage space.

At the same time, he removed the golden film enveloping the cave.

It was a pity that now was not the time to focus solely on cultivation; otherwise, he would have immediately gone into seclusion, swallowing all the Golden Fruits to refine them.

Taking a step forward, he left the cave.

Before he had gone far, he stopped.

In his perception, several presences were rapidly approaching him from a distance.

Among those presences, there was not the slightest pause or change in direction, they were heading straight for him.

’Have they discovered me?’

Liang Hui’s expression showed a trace of surprise.

To think that, with the help of the Flowing Light Bell, his sensory range far exceeded those of the same realm, yet those people had an even greater range of detection than him.

Nonetheless, Liang Hui didn’t flee but instead placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, quietly waiting.

In the Tianyuan Secret Realm, he feared no one.

One minute!

Two minutes!

Ten minutes!

Three figures appeared in the youth’s field of vision.

A scrawny old man with a snow-white rat perched on his shoulder, the rat’s claws continuously pointing at Liang Hui, excitedly squeaking.

Beside the old man were a scantily clad beautiful woman and an iron-armored robust man.

Feeling the commotion made by the rat on his shoulder, the old man exchanged a glance with his two companions.

Then, all three simultaneously revealed a bone-chilling murderous intent in their eyes...

A formidable aura heedlessly burst forth, then unified, rolling towards the youth.

Suddenly, the three attackers felt immense pressure and unconsciously slowed down.

They stopped, noticing the vast Azure Sea that unexpectedly appeared beneath them.

Looking up, they saw the bright moon rising slowly behind the youth.

The expressions on the trio’s faces involuntarily grew ugly.

"Star Moon Tower disciple?"

"Sir, this is a misunderstanding..."

Before he could finish speaking,

several Magic Artifacts shot out from them, slashing towards Liang Hui at high speed, causing a piercing blast through the air.

However, before the Magic Artifacts could approach, they were immobilized by the Moonlight Essence that fell from above.

The moon turned, instantly grinding the Magic Artifacts to dust.

Along with the old man, the beautiful woman, and the robust man in iron armor, all bent over, veins bulging on their faces, appearing extremely ferocious.

"Sir, we are from Longevity Hall..."

The only response they got was silence.

Liang Hui leaned against the rock wall, with the bright moon behind him continually spinning.

The pressure kept increasing, and the enemies’ bodies began to crack as blood flowed down.

Whether it was their desperate struggles or the curses from Jiedi Sili, nothing could prevent their flesh from turning to dust and their bones from shattering.

The moon completed four rotations!

Before him, only the robust man in iron armor was yet to pass away, but the iron armor on his body had already crumbled, cracks spreading everywhere, as if it would explode at any moment.

The youth straightened up and took a step forward.

He arrived at the location where the old man had died, looking at the snow-white rat enveloped within the Moonlight Essence, a beast he deliberately left alive.

Reaching forward with his palm, red-gold Mana flowed in his hand, eventually crossing the Moonlight Essence, entering the head of the white rat.

The wildly struggling rat suddenly became motionless, obediently lying down.

Let’s not forget that he is a Taoist Child from the Beast Taming Sect, with myriad ways to command Exotic Beasts.

He dispelled the Moonlight Essence that enveloped the rat.

With a thought, the white-haired rat leaped into the youth’s palm.

Just as he was about to explore the rat’s capabilities, a wail interrupted Liang Hui’s thoughts.

Turning to look at the robust man whose arms had exploded, he also saw the pleading in his eyes.

"With such pain, better to return to dust."

The moon behind him started to turn again.

The robust man opened his mouth to speak, but before a sound could escape, he turned to dust.

As the rolling Azure Sea and the bright moon both dissipated,

Liang Hui then turned his attention to the white rat in his arms, gently stroking its body, starting to probe the bloodline it harbored.
