Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie and Mu Yunxi returned to the place where they had originally seized the Source of Earthly Spirit, only to find that it was already deserted.

“They have already left. I didn’t expect the teleportation array for leaving to be hidden here!”

Jun Wuxie scanned the mountains and landed in front of the Broken Mountain Altar.

Judging by the freshness of the traces here, the geniuses of the major forces should have left several days ago.

“I delayed your time.”

Mu Yunxi's voice was clear and cold, without emotion, but she felt a little self-reproach in her heart.

She knew that Jun Wuxie had delayed several days in Maple Forest to wait for her.

Xiao Renwang's strength was strong. If this teleportation gate led to a small secret realm with Bone Burying Spirit Orbs or the Xuanyuan Sword, then it was very likely that he had taken the lead.

“I was cultivating an incarnation; it has nothing to do with you.”

Jun Wuxie ascended the altar and stepped into the teleportation gate.

Mu Yunxi was slightly startled and followed him in.

“I got it! Hahaha, I got the second one!”

“Hahaha, I got one too!”

“That’s mine! What are you doing? Go grab something else! Get out!”

“Damn it, I’m surrounded by ancient corpses! Quick, help me!”

… …

The moment they were teleported out, they heard voices of excitement, anger, or fear.

This was a dim world.

The voices came from the misty high altitude.

Jun Wuxie activated his pupil technique and looked over, his pupils slightly contracting.

Ancient corpses?

He saw countless ancient corpses, suspended in the air, entangled by vine-like things, with disheveled hair.

In the sky, the branches and leaves were incomparably lush and dense.

On those branches, from time to time, one could see walnut-sized, somewhat withered fruits, with faint, mysterious patterns visible on the surface.

The geniuses of the major forces were picking the fruits, and near those fruits hung many ancient corpses.

Once they approached the fruits, the ancient corpses seemed to come to life suddenly, launching attacks on them.

Their blood-red eyes, evil gazes, and dark, glittering, sharp, long nails were terrifying.

“Small World Tree!”

Just as Jun Wuxie was wondering why there were so many branches in the air, hanging so many ancient corpses, and what kind of fruit was growing on them...

The World Tree's voice entered his mind from the cave.

“What is a Small World Tree?”

Jun Wuxie asked in his heart.

“It should be a seed that scattered from me in the past, a tree derived after losing most of its essence. It can stabilize a world, but this Small World Tree seems to have some problems.”

“What about the fruits on it?”

“Small World Fruits, containing the origin of the world, can enhance the strength of bloodlines. Those below the legendary level who consume them can increase their growth strength by at least one level. Each person can consume up to two fruits, but the effect of the second fruit will diminish. However, these fruits have already withered and are only useful to those below the Myriad Worlds level. The lower the talent growth strength, the greater the increase.”

“What?”

Jun Wuxie was shocked!

The effect of this Small World Fruit seemed somewhat like the World Fruit that Ye Qingxue mentioned.

It was just that it was far less heaven-defying than the World Fruit, but its effect was definitely extremely abnormal.

It could directly enhance bloodline strength and increase talent growth level!

“The Small World Fruit in the center of the Small World Tree should not have withered yet, and there is a core fruit. If you can obtain the core fruit and consume it, you can step into the legendary level. However, there seems to be a powerful creature for you under the Small World Tree. Be careful.”

After the World Tree finished speaking, it fell silent and entered a state of self-repairing slumber again.

Core Small World Fruit? Can directly step into the legendary level?

Jun Wuxie's heart beat faster, and his breathing was slightly rapid.

He was moved, extremely moved!

He knew best how slow and difficult it was to improve his talent strength to its current level.

Something that could directly promote talent to legendary was definitely a treasure-level wonder for him!

“Jun Wuxie, what’s wrong?”

After carefully observing the situation here, Mu Yunxi turned her head and saw a fiery light flashing in Jun Wuxie's eyes, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

“Do you see those fruits? If you take it, those below the Myriad Worlds King can directly increase their talent growth strength. Each person can take up to two!”

Mu Yunxi's delicate body trembled when she heard this, and she looked at him in disbelief: “Is this… really?”

“More real than real gold and silver! What are you waiting for? Take action! Get as many as you can!”

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he soared up, passed through the mist, and arrived in the high altitude.

Looking around, the branches and leaves of the Small World Tree were so lush and boundless that they seemed to extend to every corner of this secret realm, covering the entire sky.

Mu Yunxi followed to the high altitude.

“Be careful, try not to be attacked by the ancient corpses, otherwise there may be trouble.”

He exhorted like this, and then rushed towards a certain location like a streamer.

There was a Small World Fruit there, with more than a dozen hanging ancient corpses nearby.

Perhaps because there were too many ancient corpses, the geniuses of various forces deliberately avoided this place and did not pick it.

He saw that the geniuses chose fruits that only had one or two ancient corpses nearby.

The person who had previously asked for help in panic, saying that he was surrounded by ancient corpses, was a quasi-ruler-level genius of a certain force. He was surrounded by four ancient corpses, and two people went to rescue him.

At this time, although that person rushed out, he was covered in injuries, with faint black gas emanating from the wounds, and the overflowing blood was dark black.

Jun Wuxie saw that the person's lips had turned purple, black lines had appeared on his neck, and deep in his eyes, there was a hint of madness from time to time, which seemed to be a sign of gradually losing his mind.

“Everyone, pay attention! Do not be attacked by the ancient corpses, otherwise you will lose your mind and become a violent, bloodthirsty monster!”

Jun Wuxie said loudly in the air.

He had to remind the geniuses of the various forces, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

He suspected that these ancient corpses had been contaminated by the power of darkness!

Although the power of darkness in these ancient corpses was already very weak, such things, even if they were weak, were difficult to resist, unless the soul was very strong, it could be forcibly suppressed, but it was difficult to expel it.

Roar!

As soon as he finished speaking, the genius who had been attacked by the ancient corpse burst out with fierce blood in his eyes, and pounced on his companions like a mad beast.

Fortunately, those people had heard Jun Wuxie's words and were prepared, so they immediately dodged.

“Control him! Don’t let him attack others, otherwise it will spread like a plague, and the number of people out of control will increase!”

Jun Wuxie reminded in time.

Immediately, several people nearby shot at the same time, and soon subdued the frenzied person and suppressed him.

They threw him on the ground and continued to pick fruits in the air.

Everyone was very careful, searching the trees for Small World Fruits with only one or two ancient corpses next to them.

However, such Small World Fruits were very rare, and it took almost a long time to find one.

Mu Yunxi relied on her powerful strength and chose a wider range. Basically, she could forcibly freeze those with less than ten ancient corpses with ice and snow true energy, pick the fruit and leave.

Jun Wuxie was even more needless to say.

He didn't care how many ancient corpses were near the fruit at all. As the golden blood energy propped up, even if dozens of ancient corpses attacked at the same time, it would be difficult to break through his defense.

The Small World Fruits on his body increased one by one.

Half a day later, he had already picked more than a hundred Small World Fruits.

The fruits in the outer area were basically picked clean.

The Small World Tree was very large, but the fruits were very rare. Usually, one could only see one every tens or hundreds of miles.

Jun Wuxie circled the outer edge of the Small World Tree and found that there were no fruits in the areas he had not been to.

Some areas that originally had fruits had fresh fruit stems left, even in areas with a dozen or twenty ancient corpses nearby!

Who has such strength?

His eyes narrowed slightly.

I'm afraid it's only Xiao Renwang and the Son of Heaven's Purity.

He activated his pupil technique to scan, but did not see the figures of Xiao Renwang and the Son of Heaven's Purity and others.

On the other hand, the Soul Maiden stood alone on a small mountain. Seeing him looking over, her eyes were cold and calm. She looked at him from a distance without any reaction.

The corner of Jun Wuxie's eye twitched slightly.

This Soul Maiden, is she not afraid that he will kill her?

However, he did not act, feeling that there was something strange about this.

He descended from the air and landed on the edge of the depression.

There were many people nearby. Since the Small World Fruits on the periphery had been picked clean, the geniuses of various forces had returned to the ground.

Several people who had been eroded by the power of darkness were now being suppressed.

“Young Master Jun!”

A female genius of the Imperial Spirit Sect greeted him enthusiastically.

She was petite, only about 1.6 meters tall, but very plump, with a curvaceous figure. She had an Imperial Spirit Beast Drum hanging on her waist, a bright smile on her face, and big, bright eyes, with very well-defined features.

“Young Master Jun, thank you for your reminder.”

Many geniuses of various forces came forward to thank him.

“It’s just a small matter.”

Jun Wuxie came to the front of several people who had been invaded by the power of darkness, spread out his palms, and continuously poured solar essence fire into their bodies. The people immediately let out miserable screams.

“Young Master Jun, what are you doing?”

The faces of the sect companions of those people suddenly changed.

Immediately afterwards, they saw wisps of black gas overflowing from their bodies. The black gas transformed into hideous faces, bared their teeth and brandished their claws, roaring at Jun Wuxie and making sharp, strange laughs, and then dissipated in the air.

The violence and madness in the eyes of those few people gradually faded away, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The whole person collapsed on the ground, extremely weak.

Their bodies had been burned with serious internal injuries by the solar essence fire.

This was still under the circumstances that Jun Wuxie deliberately controlled it to avoid hurting them as much as possible, otherwise they would have been burned to death long ago.

“Be more careful in the future. Don't disregard everything for the sake of seizing resources. That was the remaining power of the Dark Force. Fortunately, this power is already very weak, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do anything, and you would only fall into eternal darkness!”

“What is the Dark Force?”

The prodigies all looked at him blankly.

Jun Wuxie shook his head and said, “I don’t know how to explain it to you. Anyway, it's a very terrifying power, or rather, an evil energy substance. Even if a half-sage is contaminated, eight or nine times out of ten they will turn into puppets of darkness.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's hair stood on end, and they looked at the ancient corpses in the air in horror.

“By the way, have you seen Xiao Renwang and the Son of Heavenly Purity, and the others?”

“Yes! We arrived here at almost the same time a few days ago. They wanted to get close to that giant tree, but they were scared back by the sound waves of the Primordial Snow Toad! Xiao Renwang said that the blood toad is a half-sage-level Heavenly Sacred Beast!”

“After that, I don’t know what they discussed, but they left after a while. We haven’t seen them since. However, the Soul Maiden has stayed and hasn't left, perhaps because of a conflict with the Soul Son.”

The prodigies immediately explained the conflict between the Soul Son and the Soul Maiden after Jun Wuxie and Mu Yunxi left that day.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but ponder after listening.

The Soul Son and the Soul Maiden have a conflict?

Do they really have a conflict, or are they deliberately putting on a show in front of people to achieve some purpose?

Xiao Renwang and the others came and wanted to go to the center of the depression, but were scared away?

He activated his pupil technique and looked forward.

In the central area, there seemed to be a mysterious force affecting the pupil technique.

However, his Primordial True Eyes are not ordinary pupil techniques, and after the fusion and sublimation of the Fiery Golden Eyes, he was finally able to see a rough outline.

His pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly.

Between the first branches of the Little World Tree, there was a huge space, but it had completely collapsed and turned into a void black hole.

In the center of that void black hole, there was an amber-colored bead the size of a cherry, covered with mysterious runes.

Bone-Hiding Spirit Orb!

He was shocked, not expecting the second Bone-Hiding Spirit Orb to be here!

Due to the distance, he could only see a rough outline and it wasn't very clear, so it was difficult to obtain detailed information about the Bone-Hiding Spirit Orb.

“That day, I saw that Xiao Renwang had a Bone-Hiding Spirit Orb, and he must have seen that I also have a Bone-Hiding Spirit Orb. And Xiao Renwang must have recognized the Bone-Hiding Spirit Orb on the Little World Tree. Why didn't he take it, and instead left?”

Jun Wuxie pondered to himself.

What is Xiao Renwang planning?

He clearly has a Bone-Hiding Spirit Orb that can nullify attack power, so even when facing a half-sage-level Heavenly Sacred Beast, he has the confidence to try.

Even if he can't cause damage to the Primordial Blood Toad, Xiao Renwang should at least rely on the Spirit Orb to try to rush to the Little World Tree, instead of giving up.
