Just as she was confounded, Thea charged toward her. She collected herself and met her attack. Boom! The two clashed. Powerful True Energies collided and distorted even space. Thea was immediately sent flying. Even Juniper staggered backward, muttering silently under her breath, “What terrifying power…” Then, Thea’s blood churned, and powerful energy erupted from within her blood. Even though she only managed to cross into the ninth rank recently, she managed to make Juniper stagger backward through brute force alone. “Die.” Thea glared at Juniper with her bloodshot eyes. She summoned True Demonic Energy, imbued it with the Malevolent Sword, and performed the Demonic Sword Art. The strength of the Demonic Sword Art was greatly augmented by her True Demonic Energy. The demonized Thea was too strong. Even Juniper, who was a Supernatural, had lost her composure. In the distance, James sat in a lotus position on the ground and healed his injuries while spectating the battle.
Tyrus threatened Conrad with Juniper’s life. Conrad clenched his sword tightly as his face darkened. He had been fighting against Langston, but he had been paying close attention to Juniper’s battle. Since he knew that Juniper was defeated by a woman, he could not help but glance at Thea. By then, Thea was returning to normal, and the blood inside her body was pacified. Gradually, the powerful aura she exuded dissipated. “Beast Blood, huh?” he murmured. Conrad made the decision to end the fighting. The earthling’s strength far surpassed his expectation. As Conrad sheathed his sword, Langston breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Langston descended from the sky and appeared before Tyrus. Thea had left her demonized state. Her face was pale, and she could not exert even a single ounce of strength. It appeared that the battle earlier had completely drained her energy. She dragged her feeble body toward James. James looked at her and asked in concern, “Are you alright?” “I-I’m
“It smells so alluring... This is going to be a priceless treasure once the berry ripens.”“This must be a magical fruit!”Many conversed.James stared at the tree too. He was stunned by the fragrance and the majestic Empyrean Spiritual Energy here. Cultivating at such a place would greatly accelerate one’s progress.He remained silent and sat in a lotus position on the ground while healing his injuries.Everyone waited patiently.In the meantime, Conrad kept glancing over at Thea. Pensive, he furrowed his eyebrows as if he was deep in thought. It made Thea extremely uncomfortable. Sitting beside James, she whispered, “Darling, that Conrad guy keeps glancing at me.”James waved slightly and said, “Pay no heed to him.”“Darling, what exactly is this tree?”James shook his head and said, “How would I know?”However, Thea was one of many who were intrigued.Langston approached Conrad. Since they chose peace over war, Conrad had no right to monopolize the tree.So, Conrad cho
“The Ultranaturals? How powerful could they be to be called that?The Earthlings found it hard to imagine. They only knew that a grim future awaited them.Conrad fell silent.James, on the other hand, did not ask further questions. He simply sat in a lotus position on the ground and healed his injuries.Everyone else followed suit as a tense silence descended upon the area.As they treated their injuries, their gazes were fixed on the tree before them, anticipating the berry to ripen.The berry was magical, so its growth speed was unparalleled. After a day passed, the flower withered, and a bud appeared.Everyone was stunned. Under normal circumstances, a bud would only appear after its flowers had bloomed for over a month. Now, only a day had passed. This was simply unbelievable.They waited patiently for a week.A week later, purple berries gradually appeared on the tree. They were the size of a fist, and their appearances were not that much different from apples. Not only t
He counted the number of berries silently. There were thirty in total. If Conrad took twenty and Juniper six, only seven would remain for the Earthlings. How would that be sufficient? James thought about it and said, “Let’s fight, then.” Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. James continued, “Let’s hold a martial arts tournament. If you win the crowd’s respect and no one wishes to challenge you, you will receive one berry. Each participant is only entitled to a single berry. How does that sound?” James knew that some of Conrad’s subordinates were comparatively weaker. If they agreed to his terms, they would only receive a few berries. Meanwhile, only Juniper and Kay among the Void Sect would obtain the berries. “I agree,” Thomas said. “Me too.” “No problem at all.” The earthlings nodded in agreement. “I don’t!” Conrad yelled, “Why do I have to enter a martial arts tournament? As one of the strong, I should gain more benefits. I won’t stand in your way if
Juniper only collected two berries. After all, everyone’s gaze was fixed on her. Holding two berries in her hand, she turned to leave reluctantly. Now, only twenty-one berries remained. “I only need ten,” Langston looked at the crowd and said. “This is inappropriate, I’m afraid.” Sky stepped forward and said. He remained silent earlier because he believed himself to be unworthy to speak before Conrad. Now, Langston intended to have ten berries for himself. Considering that the members of the Blood Race, James, Thomas, and a few others had yet to obtain one, he would not be able to obtain even a single berry if he continued to remain silent. Thomas chimed in, “Indeed, this is inappropriate. Every ninth rank here must obtain at least one berry.” Thomas was standing up for himself. If he allowed Langston to pluck ten berries, there might not be any left for him. The other Earthlings voiced their thoughts as well. Even the Blood Race and the Polaris Sect accused Langston of
After thinking for a brief moment, the Grand Patriarchs accepted the terms. After all, two berries were better than none. Following that, the distribution process went smoothly. The three Grand Patriarchs of the Polaris Sect received two berries, whereas Thomas, Tobias, Lucjan, and Sky each obtained one. Soon, no berries remained. Those who had yet to cross into the ninth rank received nothing. Although they were dismayed, they did not complain. If anything, it was their fault for being too weak and powerless to do anything. James held the berry in his hand as he embraced its warmth. The berry was the size of a fist and glimmered a purple light. Transparent and crystal-clear, he could also vaguely see the purple light darting about inside the berry. It was simply mysterious and magical. “It smells so good…” James sniffed the berry. He was tempted to swallow the berry whole, but he knew that this was not a place for a closed-door meditation. James planned to return to th
The earthlings were significantly disadvantaged this time because they were not strong enough. If they could intimidate Conrad, he would not have taken five berries. James’ desire to become more powerful grew increasingly stronger. Then, he left Mount Bane alongside Thea and returned to the Southern Plains. Soon, they returned to the Southern Plains. The reconstruction of Dragonville had begun in earnest. Over six months of construction, Southern Plains City was demolished, and Dragonville Palace was completed. Now, many skyscrapers were erected from the ground up. There were also underground buildings designed for the apocalypse. After briefly checking on the construction progress, James left and headed toward Mount Thunder Pass. He planned to enter a closed-door meditation there. After absorbing the Phoenix Essence, he would then absorb the mysterious berry. After a few days of closed-door mediation, a person appeared at Mount Thunder Pass. It was the Omniscient Deity.
