Under the watchful eyes of so many people, her personality was bold and straightforward, completely disregarding the gazes of others.
However, Yang Kai didn’t fall for her trick and simply laughed, “Senior Sister Qu is being difficult. According to what I know, this Innate Fruit Tree will only produce one Innate Spirit Fruit each time, so when the time comes, everyone will definitely fight over it. It’s fine if you and I don’t attack each other, but you want protection?”
It was precisely because there was only one Innate Spirit Fruit that these Bearer had to go all out, so even though Xu Zhen had a good relationship with her and Gu Pan, they didn’t stand together.
Because everyone who came here was a competitor.
They had received the full support of the Holy Spirits behind them and were now bearing the hopes of the Holy Spirits. If they were to fail, the plans of the Holy Spirits would fall through and it was highly likely they would anger the Holy Spirits. At that time, their lives would be in danger!
Throughout history, many people who had failed to obtain the Innate Spirit Fruit had died in the hands of the Holy Spirit, and the Leaviathan Shark had even killed its Bearer. The Water Element Moon Essence that Yang Kai had refined had been brought out by one of the Leviathan Shark's Bearer. After this person had been killed, the Leviathan Shark had given it to the Sea Race because it was useless.
Not only was the Leviathan Shark doing this, but most of the Holy Spirits were also doing the same. After obtaining benefits from them, how could they be satisfied with this result?
Qu Huachang smiled and said, “Little Brother Yang, why do you need to be so unreasonable? This is my plan, we can first join forces to fight the enemy. Little Brother Yang has been in this Unaging Land for so many days, so you should have encountered some Bearer and know their methods. If we work together, it will be better than fighting alone. As for the Innate Spirit Fruit, it will depend on our own methods.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai nodded. Qu Huachang’s proposal wasn’t bad. Although he was strong, if he were to use his full strength, no one present would be his opponent, but even a fierce tiger couldn’t fight against a pack of wolves. Two fists couldn’t fight four hands, so if his performance was too strong and aroused public anger, he wouldn’t be able to win.
At this time, one or two allies could share some of the pressure.
“Junior Sister Gu also thinks so?” Yang Kai turned his head to look around. This little girl’s personality was quite introverted and she had always kept her head down. Hearing this, she only nodded lightly to express her attitude.
Yang Kai replied, “Of course we can join forces, but are there only the three of us? What about Brother Lin, Brother Xu, and Brother Daoran?”
All of them were disciples from Cave Heaven Paradise and had worked together before.
Qu Huachang curled her lips, “These stinky men, I don’t care if they live or die, and at a time like this, the more people who join forces, it isn't always the better. Little Brother Yang should understand.”
Yang Kai was speechless, “I’m also a man!”
Qu Huachang covered her mouth and giggled, “You smell so good, so different from them, it makes me want to eat you…” Saying so, she deliberately sniffed Yang Kai.
Yang Kai couldn’t bear it any longer and quickly took two steps back, nodding solemnly, “Then it’s settled, let’s work together to resist the enemy!”
Qu Huachang’s beautiful eyes lit up, “Alright.”
When the three of them joined forces, there were naturally others who joined forces, but there weren’t many of them. After all, many of them didn’t know each other well, so if they were to rashly cooperate with someone they didn’t know, it would be better to fight alone and find a good opportunity.
As they spoke, more people gathered here, and there were even some who had stealthily concealed themselves, obviously waiting for an opportunity to snatch the Spirit Fruit.
Lin Feng and Ning Daoran also arrived and quickly gathered together with Xu Zhen to form a small group.
After another two hours, more than sixty cultivators had arrived!
Those who would rush to this place at this time were definitely those chosen by the Holy Spirit to be their Bearer. These sixty or so Bearer were all secretly paying attention to the condition of the fruit tree and waiting quietly.
Because at this moment, only the fruit tree had appeared, but the Innate Spirit Fruit was nowhere to be seen.
The World Energy continued to flow towards the fruit tree, causing it to become more solid.
Finally, someone shouted, “The Innate Spirit Fruit is about to appear!”
Everyone’s hearts shook and when they looked up, they saw that at the very top of the fruit tree, a small bud suddenly appeared. This bud absorbed a massive amount of Spiritual Energy and rapidly blossomed, forming a flower bud.
A strange aura spread out from the flower bud, causing everyone to feel as if they were bathing in a spring breeze and their minds to become empty.
Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat as he faintly felt that this aura was somewhat familiar. Suddenly, he remembered that the aura he felt when he refined the Moon Essence was somewhat similar to the aura emitted by this flower bud.
Pondering for a moment, Yang Kai suddenly realized that the Moon Essence was also an Innate Treasure and contained a trace of Innate Qi. This Inate Spirit Fruit was the same, but compared to this flower bud, the Moon Essence’s aura was undoubtedly much weaker.
The flower bud quickly blossomed and formed a flower bone. Under the influence of this strange aura, everyone stared at it in a daze, witnessing the birth and origin of it's life. For a time, everyone’s thoughts collided with each other like sparks of lightning, flashing with all kinds of light.
This flash of insight allowed everyone’s perception to greatly increase in a short period of time. Many of the things they normally couldn’t understand about cultivation suddenly became clear at this moment!
Yang Kai’s mind was filled with thoughts. On the road of cultivation, there was nothing he didn’t understand. He had already laid down his foundation to break through to Open Heaven. As long as he condensed his strength step by step, sooner or later he would reach the High Rank Open Heaven Stage.
However, with the help of the Innate Spirit Fruit’s birth, the light that burst forth from his mind gave him a bold idea. If this idea succeeded, after he advanced to Open Heaven, he would obtain extraordinary combat strength!
Of course, this idea could only be implemented when he advanced to Open Heaven, it was still too early!
The Innate Spirit Fruit was truly extraordinary. Just the process of its birth was enough to allow one to gain enlightenment and clear away the haze and troubles of the path of cultivation. Just this alone was enough for everyone to reap great benefits.
At some point, the petals began to wither, the Innate Spirit Fruit gradually formed, and the strange aura slowly dissipated.
Yang Kai looked around and found that everyone’s eyes were filled with a sharp light, obviously having gained something. Without the influence of this aura, the light in everyone’s minds gradually calmed down, causing many to sigh.
Yang Kai looked at them and remembered all of their faces.
If he was right, after these people left the Great Ruins Boundary alive and truly grew up, they would become the rulers of the Three Thousand Worlds.
They had been heavily nurtured by the Holy Spirit and had obtained unimaginable benefits from the Great Ruins Boundary. Now that they had this opportunity to comprehend the mysteries of the Great Ruins Boundary, their future achievements would definitely not be bad.
The sounds of breathing gradually became hurried as everyone stared at the gradually maturing Innate Spirit Fruit with burning eyes. Although the scene was calm, everyone could feel the undercurrents hidden beneath the calm.
The current situation was like a powder keg about to explode. Any spark could lead to an irreparable situation!
“It’s time to act!” Qu Huachang said.
Yang Kai remained calm and collected, “The bird that sticks out dies first!”
Although he had the Space Laws, with so many Bearer eyeing him, he didn’t dare act rashly.
He was still able to restrain himself, but there were some who couldn’t hold themselves back any longer. A large net suddenly appeared out of thin air and shot towards the Innate Fruit Tree. From the looks of it, it seemed like it was trying to collect both the fruit and the fruit tree.
“Scoundrel, how dare you!” A furious shout rang out as an overwhelming barrage of attacks flew towards the net!
Before the net could reach the Innate Fruit Tree, it was shattered by the attacks. With a muffled groan, a cultivator’s body swayed slightly, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
This net was his artifact. Although it was extraordinary, it was unable to withstand the attacks of so many people. Now that his artifact had been destroyed, he had also been implicated.
Before he could even catch his breath, a sword light flashed from his back and slashed towards him, directly knocking him to the ground. Although he didn’t die immediately, he was still seriously injured and had a bloody wound on his back.
Another attack came towards him, and this man quickly rolled to the side, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. The ones attacking him were all people he didn’t know, but he also knew that at this time, no one would show mercy to others. Killing more opponents would also increase their chances of obtaining the Innate Spirit Fruit.
A chaotic battle ensued!
More than thirty figures rushed towards the Innate Fruit Tree, and before they even arrived, all of them used various methods to grab the fruit. In an instant, a net appeared and a dozen or so hands grabbed towards the Spirit Fruit.
However, these methods were unable to approach the Spirit Fruit, and all of the Artifacts and Secret Technique were scattered in the air.
More and more people joined the battle, each using their own methods. From time to time, some would be injured, while others would lose their lives!
Yang Kai stood calmly on the spot, observing the battlefield and couldn’t help sighing in amazement.
Many of the people here were unknown. The Great Ruins Boundary had been open for more than ten years, no one had ever heard of them before, but now that they had taken action, all of them seemed extraordinary. Not to mention the strange artifacts, even the Secret Techniques they used were extraordinary, and almost all of these Bearer had condensed forces with the lowest being Fifth Grade material, while some had condensed Sixth Grade or even Seventh Grade force!
The Yin-Yang Five Elements Forces swept across a small area, causing the world to dim and the sky to tremble!
This was the power of the Holy Spirits. They could use their own resources to cultivate their Bearer, allowing their strength to soar!
Ding Yi’s performance in the Three Thousand World Tree before was already enough, but in this place, he was only above average, and there were many who were more stunning than him.
At this moment, there weren’t many who hadn’t taken action yet. Besides Yang Kai’s group of three, only seven or eight of them were still able to maintain their calm, perhaps because they were afraid to act recklessly.
“What are you waiting for?” Qu Huachang looked at Yang Kai anxiously.
“Wait a moment!” Yang Kai said lightly.
Qu Huachang was speechless, “If we wait any longer, the fruit will be taken away.”
“Then snatch it back,” Yang Kai smiled.
Qu Huachang was stunned for a moment and felt that this was reasonable, so she waited patiently.
