Chapter 444: The Dark Spirit Fruit Tree!
As soon as the words fell, a figure stood up. The figure whose body was tall and straight like a benchmark, with sword-like eyebrows, a high and straight nose, tightly pursed thin lips, and a pair of jet-black eyes that flashed a hint of crimson in the night. He appeared to be in his twenties, and there was an inexplicable aura of pressure emanating from him.
...
Moonlight is like a soft ribbon, illuminating the shining peaks of the mountains.
In mid-air, a huge silhouette of a beast spread its wings and soared, circling around.
"Swoosh..."
A graceful figure leaped down from the back of the beast's silhouette, like a fairy dancing on water. The figure was light and ethereal, with long black hair draped over an orange dress that fluttered in the wind. She landed on the mountain peak without any hint of dust, emanating an otherworldly and transcendent aura that was above the mundane world. It was as if she was a celestial being descending from the heavens.
This graceful and charming silhouette was quite young, appearing to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. Her red lips were delicate and her clear eyes shone like water in the moonlight. The orange dress accentuated her slender and graceful figure, highlighting her exquisite curves.
"Hiss!"
As the silhouette descended, Shenzi saw a huge python snake coiled on a rock. The snake was entirely black and had a dragon-like head. Half of its body was upright, including its head, and its eyes emitted a faint golden light that shone like an emerald.
This is the Ninth Nether Demon Sneak, with its black wings slightly expanded, giving off a dim and eerie black light that looked deep and shining. However, in front of the girl at this moment, the snake was extremely gentle and intimate.
"Little Ink, I'm going to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. Wait for me here for half a month. I have prepared some elixirs for you, so please cultivate well!"
The girl stroked the head of the Ninth Nether Demon Sneak, a dragon-like creature, with her black hair tied back and a few strands hanging down over her forehead, adding a wild touch to her appearance. Her clear eyes shone like water, fearless and calm in the face of the fierce and ferocious Ninth Nether Demon Sneak, as if she were petting a small animal.
"Boom!" Hearing the girl's words, the Ninth Nether Demon Sneak let out a powerful aura as its wings fluttered and it hissed as it breathed.
"Listen to me, you can't go inside there!" The girl comforted the Ninth Nether Demon Sneak hatchling.
"Hiss..." Seeing this, the Ninth Nether Demon Sneak hatchling seemed to know that it couldn't go there and could only give up, "I don't know if that guy went to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, it would be best if he did..." The girl murmured to herself, her eyes shining brightly and inexplicably captivating.
...
"Hehe..."
In the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords, a mysterious space, there was a continuous sound of laughter - "hehe".
In front of Su Yi, piles and piles of Yuan Stone powder had accumulated. In front of him lay a myriad of medicine bottles, pills, herbs, extraordinary weapons, miscellaneous items, and even martial arts scrolls, though not many of them.
These cultivation resources were piled up like small hills.
Su Yi laughed heartily, for the harvest from the tens of thousands of space bags was quite significant.
All the inner and outer disciples of the Divine Sword School who entered the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords were naturally well prepared, with plenty of supplies such as pills and the like.
But now, all this has fallen into the hands of Su Yi.
Almost all the supplies prepared by the inner and outer disciples of the Divine Sword School have now fallen into the hands of Su Yi alone. One can only imagine the extent of this accumulation; it must be an enormous number.
Take the pills for example, although they are of a general level, combined, there are nearly one hundred thousand. Just this alone is already a terrifying number.
Su Yi was even too lazy to count these pills, he just took a quick look and realized that there were simply too many of them to count in a short period of time.
Su Yi had four Sword-patterned Stones in his hand, which came from the space bag with tens of thousands of them. The fact that only four Sword-patterned Stones were obtained among so many people shows that they are not easy to come by.
"Inside those places, perhaps there are opportunities for serendipity?"
After Su Yi left the mysterious space, he found a group of demon beast leaders and asked them which places in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords might have opportunities for serendipity.
This is the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. These demon beast leaders naturally know it best.
A group of demon beast leaders immediately spoke and roughly mentioned the places where opportunities for serendipity might exist, but they were all general information. The places where opportunities for serendipity exist are not always obvious and these demon beast leaders were unable to provide clear details.
"Master, the places where opportunities for serendipity arise can only be encountered by those fated to do so. However, I do know of a place without any opportunities for serendipity, but it does have a fair number of Sword-patterned Stones and a Dark Spirit Fruit Tree. Now is the time when the Dark Spirit Fruit is ripening!" A giant snake-like creature spoke up and informed Su Yi of some news.
"Dark Spirit Fruit Tree..."
Upon hearing this, Su Yi's eyes lit up. The Dark Spirit Fruit Tree was a treasure indeed!
It is said that a cultivator in the Yuan Spirit Realm can break through on the spot by consuming a Dark Spirit Fruit, which also has the effect of cleansing the physical body.
While these two items are already treasures in their own right, what truly captivates cultivators in the Yuan Spirit Realm is the rumor that after consuming a Dark Spirit Fruit, the breakthrough from the Yuan Spirit Realm to the Yuan True Realm can be almost smooth sailing.
However, the Dark Spirit Fruit is very rare and although it has the best effect when consumed by cultivators in the Yuan Spirit Realm, it is priceless and cannot be bought with money.
As for the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree, it is even rarer. Once someone discovers it, even major sects and clans would spare no effort to bring it back to their own sect.
"In what place?"
Su Yi immediately asked, knowing the effects of this Dark Spirit Fruit. He was currently in the Yuan Spirit Realm, and if he could obtain a Dark Spirit Fruit, it would greatly help him break through to the Yuan True Realm. He couldn't afford to miss this opportunity.
"Replying to the master, it's only a few hundred miles ahead, but this Dark Spirit Fruit Tree is not easy to approach." A white-scaled monster cat, with a serious gaze, informed Su Yi.
Immediately, Su Yi came to know that this Dark Spirit Fruit was coveted by all the demon beasts, whether they were big or small leaders.
But the problem is that there has always been a group of Wolf-headed Demon Bats guarding the Dark Spirit Fruit Tree.
Wolf-headed Demon Bats are not simple creatures. They are demon beasts that live in groups. Not only are they numerous, but their bloodline is also not low, and their strength is terrifying.
Coupled with the ferocious strength of the Wolf-headed Demon Bat, demon beasts of the same level almost always avoid them and are unwilling to provoke them.
"There is a Bat King among the Wolf-headed Demon Bats, whose cultivation has reached the Peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm. It is the strongest existence around here and very difficult to deal with."
A huge black ox with four legs like trees once said that it also wanted the Dark Spirit Fruit. Consuming one would help it advance significantly and refine its demon beast's body. However, it was wary of the Bat King and knew that it could not deal with it.
"The Peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm!"
Su Yi frowned slightly. It was indeed perilous inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords.
No wonder it is said that the direct disciples of the Divine Sword School are likely to suffer casualties inside the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Swords. The demon beasts at the Peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm are beings that at least no inner disciples of the Divine Sword School can deal with.
However, Su Yi was not too afraid of the demon beasts at the Peak of the Fifth Grade of the Demonic Spirit Realm, it didn't make him too cautious.
Moreover, Su Yi knew that the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique on his body had the effect of suppressing demon beasts. If they were to fight, he would have a lot of advantages.
