After a while, the situation became more chaotic. Everyone was rushing towards the Innate Fruit Tree, but none of them succeeded. Once someone was within ten zhang of the fruit tree, they would be attacked.
Who could resist the attacks of these Secret Technique that contained Fifth Grade, Sixth Grade, and Seventh Grade forces?
Yang Kai knew that if he didn’t transform into a dragon, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it, and even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to last more than a few breaths.
Several Bearer had died because of this and were directly beaten to the point where not even their bones remained. Although they had also received the great support of the Holy Spirit behind them, in this kind of battle, their individual strength was simply too small. If they couldn’t seize the best opportunity to attack, they would only endanger themselves.
In the midst of the battle, the Spirit Fruit on the Innate Fruit Tree had completely formed. It was crystal clear and extremely alluring. Although there was no fragrance, it still made people want to take a bite and taste it.
Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out, resounding through the clouds, “Is this the Innate Spirit Fruit? This Fang will gladly accept it!”
Along with this voice, a figure rapidly approached.
The many Bearer who were currently engaged in a heated battle were enraged upon hearing this and all of them turned to look over, wanting to see who it was that dared to boast so shamelessly.
They had been fighting here for so long that no one had been able to get within ten zhang of the fruit tree, so now that someone had dared to speak so arrogantly, it was naturally quite unpleasant.
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up as he shouted, “The opportunity has come, prepare to attack!”
He had been waiting all this time for a good opportunity, his efforts had paid off.
Hearing this, Qu Huachang and Gu Pan’s expressions also became serious as they secretly circulated their strength.
On the other side, a figure rushed into the battlefield and pounced towards the Innate Fruit Tree.
Chi chi chi... The sound of air being torn apart rang out as a series of Secret Techniques and Artifacts shot out towards that person. However, that person was not afraid at all and instead wore a smile on his face as he waited for the attacks to arrive before shouting, “Immovable Mountain!”
Extremely rich Earth Element energy spread out and distorted the figure’s body, directly forming the image of a giant tortoise. The giant tortoise protected this person in the middle, and countless attacks landed on the giant tortoise phantom, but they only caused it to sway slightly, not causing any damage to the person.
“This…” Someone was dumbfounded, staring blankly.
From the beginning of the chaotic battle until now, this was the first time someone had displayed such a powerful defense. As soon as the giant tortoise phantom appeared, it gave off a feeling that it was impregnable.
“Thick Earth Black Tortoise!” Someone recognized the giant tortoise phantom.
Since the phantom was a Thick Earth Black Tortoise, the person who had come was definitely the Bearer of the Thick Earth Black Tortoise. Only the Bearer of the Holy Spirit could use such a defensive Secret Technique!
This person was none other than Fang Yue! He had crossed paths with Yang Kai before and Yang Kai had even robbed his Space Ring. It was unknown where he had gone these past few days, but the appearance of the Innate Fruit Tree had finally drawn him out.
The Thick Earth Black Tortoise’s Earth Element Force was at least at the Seventh Grade, so ordinary methods wouldn’t be able to harm it, unless it was a Seventh Grade Five Elements forces.
As a result, after seeing the giant tortoise phantom, someone immediately used their Wood Element power to transform into a series of wooden shadows that shot towards Fang Yue.
The giant tortoise phantom continued to shake and its light rapidly dimmed, but Fang Yue was already within ten zhang of the fruit tree and reached out to grab the spirit fruit.
“Do you think you’re invincible just because you have a tortoise shell? Watch this Great Uncle Ding cut you down!” A furious roar rang out as Ding Yi raised his saber high, his entire body burning with raging flames. As he slashed down, a three legged strange bird let out a cry and pounced towards Fang Yue.
Ding Yi was the Bearer of the Holy Spirit Bi Fang, a Fire Attribute Holy Spirit who had once used his own Core to help Ding Yi condense his Fire Element.
Back at the Three Thousand World Tree, when Ding Yi fought with Gou, he had also used this move.
The power of this blade was so great that it seemed capable of incinerating the world itself.
Fang Yue’s expression became serious. Although the Phantom Shield of the Thich Earth Black Tortoise was quite powerful and could allow him to ignore most attacks, a Seventh Grade Fire Element master like him was a difficult opponent to deal with, not to mention that his defensive Secret Technique had been greatly weakened.
After only hesitating for a moment, Fang Yue’s momentum didn’t decrease as he continued to grab the Spirit Fruit.
With a loud bang, Fang Yue’s figure trembled slightly as countless cracks appeared on the giant tortoise phantom, seemingly about to shatter at any moment, but it still continued to protect him.
On the other hand, after Ding Yi displayed this move, his entire body became like a cooked shrimp, his skin becoming extremely red, steam rising from his body, blood flowing out from his seven orifices, and his hand that was tightly gripping his saber was trembling slightly.
Although his aptitude was not bad, it was far from being able to condense a Seventh Grade Force. Whether it was his Dao Seal or his physical body, neither of them was enough to withstand a Seventh Grade Fire Element pressure. Bi Fang didn’t care about this and forcefully condensed it for him to increase his chances of obtaining the Innate Spirit Fruit.
Although Ding Yi possessed the power of a Seventh Grade Fire Element, he didn’t dare use it lightly. Once he used it, it would put a great burden on his body. If he used it too many times, he might even suffer a backlash from his own Fire Element.
Many Bearer were in a similar situation. Under the premise that their foundations were not strong enough, the Holy Spirit forcibly condensed the power of a High Rank treasure. Although it seemed like they were in the limelight for a while, in reality, there were endless troubles.
On the other hand, Qu Huachang, because the Holy Spirit behind her was Feiyi, it didn’t specialize in any particular attribute, so it couldn’t condense any kind of power for her. They could only steadily increase her strength in other aspects. This way, the benefits she received would be substantial, and she wouldn’t have to worry about anything else.
Countless cracks appeared on the giant tortoise phantom, but it did not break.
Immediately after Ding Yi, True Martial Cave Heaven's Lin Feng opened his mouth and spat out a stream of water that seemed to be a giant river.
This guy was captured by the Leviathan Shark, and the Leviathan Shark was a Water Attribute Holy Spirit, so naturally it would help Lin Feng condense his Water Element.
However, the Water Element had always been gentle, so although it was a Seventh Grade, its might was not comparable to Ding Yi’s. However, inside the river, countless sharks formed from condensed energy were madly rushing and biting.
Crack…
The giant tortoise phantom around Fang Yue’s body rapidly dimmed and was on the verge of collapsing, but he simply laughed, “This fruit is mine!”
In this instant of confrontation, he had already arrived in front of the Innate Fruit Tree and was about to pick it up.
At this moment, a purple bamboo shot towards him.
Xiang Ying attacked!
This point was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back. The giant tortoise phantom finally shattered, revealing Fang Yue’s figure.
Fang Yue’s smile instantly froze on his face as a great sense of crisis welled up in his heart. Without even thinking about it, he quickly dodged to the side, not even bothering to retrieve the Spirit Fruit in front of him.
Boom boom boom…
Countless attacks landed on the spot where he stood just now. If he had been slightly slower, without the protection of the giant tortoise phantom, he would have immediately died!
“You…” Fang Yue was so angry, he almost succeeded, but in the end, all of his efforts had been in vain.
After forcing back this unscrupulous man with a tortoise shell, before anyone could relax, their hearts were already in their throats as three figures approached the Innate Fruit Tree, one man and two women, Yang Kai, Qu Huachang, and Gu Pan.
When he heard Fang Yue’s voice, Yang Kai knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.
Having dealt with Fang Yue before, Yang Kai knew that this guy’s defense was outstanding and he was very powerful. With him leading the way to attract everyone’s attention, he, Qu Huachang, and Gu Pan successfully approached the fruit tree.
Many pairs of eyes turned towards them as they prepared to attack. Qu Huachang’s heart was filled with anxiety and excitement as she sent a sound transmission, “I can block for a breath time!”
As she spoke, she flicked her hair and released a red string which transformed into thousands of red threads that protected the surrounding void.
Just as she finished doing this, an overwhelming barrage of attacks flew towards them.
When she said one breath, it really was one breath. After one breath, the red lines that filled the sky collapsed and Qu Huachang let out a muffled groan, her face slightly pale.
Yang Kai shouted, “Dragon Shield!”
Activating the Earth Element, Dragon Shields appeared one after another and hovered around the three of them. Each of these Dragon Shields was formed from a lifelike dragon with complicated patterns on its head and tail.
Yang Kai’s Earth Element was the Earth Dragon’s Dragon Bead, and in terms of quality, it was no weaker than the Thick Earth Black Tortoise Fang Yue had obtained, perhaps even stronger.
However, Yang Kai’s Dragon Shield Secret Technique had only been comprehended by himself, so it couldn’t compare to Fang Yue obtaining the Thick Earth Black Tortoise's true inheritance. Moreover, the Thick Earth Black Tortoise was proficient in defense, something that the Earth Attribute Big Dragon couldn’t compare with.
As a result, in terms of defensive capabilities, Yang Kai’s Dragon Shield Secret Technique was not as good as Fang Yue’s, but it was superior in quantity. Seven or eight Dragon Shields surrounded him, Qu Huachang, and Gu Pan.
Countless attacks rained down, each of the Dragon Shields shattered, and the seven or eight Dragon Shields only lasted for three breaths.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and grabbed the Innate Spirit Fruit. In the next moment, he would be able to pick it!
“Junior Sister Gu!” Qu Huachang exclaimed.
Gu Pan didn’t say a word as she reached out and took out a brush. This brush was almost half the height of her body, so she hugged it with both hands and pressed it against the void, spitting out a single word, “Ink!”
As if drawing in the air, a giant black dot appeared in the void and rapidly expanded.
In the next instant, the world dimmed and everyone lost the light in front of them. Even their Divine Sense was blocked and their voices quickly faded, all of them becoming blind and deaf.
After a breath of time, the abnormality disappeared, and when they opened their eyes again, many of them saw Yang Kai holding the Innate Spirit Fruit tightly, his face filled with excitement.
But soon, his expression changed from excitement to confusion!
