319: Chapter 319 Humanoid Divine Medicine, Each with Their Own Hidden Intentions!

He looked at Lu Li's porcelain-like appearance, his nose twitching as a greedy green light instantly flashed in his eyes.

"Such dense Spiritual Qi! This brat's body... actually carries a fragrance comparable to an Undying Divine Medicine! Is this the legendary immortal fetus?!"

Old Ancestor Suanni licked his lips, as if he were looking at the world's most delicious delicacy.

If he ate this, not only could he extend his lifespan, he might even be able to break through his Bottleneck!

He walked forward with a beaming smile, blocking Lu Li's path and trying his best to make his smile look kind.

"Little friend, where are your elders? It's very dangerous here; there are many man-eating Yao Beasts.

How about Grandpa sends you home? Grandpa has lots of delicious things there."

Lu Li stopped in his tracks and looked up at this ill-intentioned old man reeking of blood, remembering his father's instructions.

"No thank you. Daddy said there are many bad people outside and I shouldn't go with strangers.

Especially strange old men who look like Pekingese dogs."

Lu Li refused in a childish voice, then tried to walk around him to head further inside.

"Pekingese dog?!"

Old Ancestor Suanni's face instantly darkened, and a murderous light flared in his eyes. "Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! Little brat, since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame this Old Ancestor for being ruthless! Obediently become my snack!"

He suddenly lunged with a large hand covered in golden fur and nails like knives, carrying the terrifying power of the Mahayana Middle Stage as he clawed toward Lu Li.

Golden lightning also swirled upon that palm; he had clearly moved with killing intent.

Seeing this, the surrounding Cultivators shook their heads and sighed one after another. They seemed to already see the tragic sight of this cute little brat being torn to pieces, yet no one dared to step forward and stop it.

However...

"Hmph, bad person!"

Lu Li's small face turned cold, and a trace of coldness and majesty unbefitting his age flashed in his eyes.

"Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi!"

He gave a wave of his small hand.

*Boom!*

A massive Red Emperor Dharma Idol suddenly manifested behind him, peerless in its majesty.

The Dharma Idol opened its mouth and spat out a streak of crimson Imperial Fire, within which a Fire Phoenix seemed to be dancing.

The temperature of that flame was so high that it instantly burned through the surrounding Void Realm, even distorting the light itself.

"Aaaagh!!!"

The moment Old Ancestor Suanni's large hand touched the flames, it melted like a candle, and even the bones were instantly vaporized.

Immediately after, the flames spread along with the momentum, instantly engulfing his entire person.

"No! What fire is this?! Mercy..."

The screams came to an abrupt halt.

In just a single breath, this Great Ascension Stage Old Ancestor, who had awed an entire region with his notorious reputation, was burned into a pile of ash that scattered with the wind; not even his Divine Soul managed to escape.

The entire field fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone looked in horror at the innocent-looking little brat who stood beside the ashes patting his small hands; they felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet straight to their skulls.

Where was this some lost little brat? This was clearly an Primeval Fierce Beast cub wearing human skin!

Tianyuan Secret Realm, at the entrance.

Purple Qi came from the east, stretching for thirty thousand miles and dyeing the entire sky a mysterious and noble purple.

Above the clouds, there were thousands of auspicious signs; phantoms of Dragons and Phoenixes circled and danced, emitting bursts of clear Dao sounds as if welcoming the descent of a supreme existence.

Through that translucent world barrier flowing with five-colored radiance, one could vaguely see towering spiritual mountains and surging great rivers within the Secret Realm. Treasure light shot up into the sky, and every inch of land emitted a dense Spiritual Qi that was intoxicating.

Especially at the very core of the Secret Realm, that towering ancient tree—the immortal essence ancient tree—which was crystal clear throughout with foliage as lush as a canopy, drew everyone's gaze like a magnet.

The few fruits hanging on the tree, though not yet fully ripe with skins showing a faint cyan-gold, already emitted a Void Immortal Dao charm sufficient to drive Mahayana Stage Cultivators into a frenzy.

"Are those... the legendary Heavenly Essence Fruits?!"

An old man with white hair and beard exclaimed with a trembling voice, his eyes full of greed and longing. "Ancient records state that this fruit contains Immortal Spiritual Power. If one can obtain a single fruit, breaking through the Void Immortal barrier is just around the corner! It can even increase the success rate of Undergoing Tribulation by thirty percent!"

"Heaven blesses me! This Opportunity must be seized!"

At this time, countless experts from various factions had already gathered at the entrance of the Secret Realm.

The Golden-Winged Little Peng King wore a golden robe and had a pair of golden wings that blotted out the sun, every feather as sharp as a sword.

He stood proudly in the Void Realm, his sharp eagle eyes full of unbridled arrogance, looking down on the surrounding Human Race Cultivators as if they were merely lambs to be slaughtered.

Not far away, the White Tiger Demon Venerable from the Western Desert was perched on a massive green stone, his body radiating a pressuring Evil Qi so intense that no one dared to approach within a hundred feet.

Bloodthirsty light flickered in its copper-bell-sized eyes, and it occasionally let out low roars that made the mountains and forests tremble.

There was also the Nine-Headed Lion Ancestor from the Southern Ridge. Although he had taken human form as a majestic middle-aged man, the phantoms of nine ferocious lion heads behind him were still visible, emitting the terrifying pressure of an old-established Mahayana Late Stage expert that inspired awe and fear.

The Human Race side was not to be outdone either.

The Holy Master of Yaoguang from the Central Plains was entirely enveloped in Holy Light. He wore a smile and appeared as gentle as jade, but in the depths of his eyes was hidden a coldness like that of a poisonous snake.

The folding fan in his hand swayed gently, yet it faintly shimmered with Holy Light, clearly an extraordinary Magic Treasure.

As for the Myriad Immortals Alliance Master, he had a face full of rough flesh and a bandit-like air, followed by a group of desperate outlaws with mixed auras and fierce gazes.

This group of evil Cultivators clearly intended to fish in troubled waters and strike it big; as long as there were benefits, they would dare to do any heinous deed.

Just as everyone was testing the Restriction at the entrance of the Secret Realm and watching each other warily, a small figure appeared exceptionally out of place.

Lu Li walked over grandly with his small hands behind his back, wearing a small brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns, looking like a child out for a spring stroll.

Although his earlier feat of instakilling Old Ancestor Suanni outside the Secret Realm had intimidated many, as more newly arrived Cultivators joined and time passed, those greedy gazes gathered on him once more.

After all, that scene was too shocking; many people thought that Old Ancestor Suanni had simply been careless, or that the child had some kind of one-time peerless secret treasure on him.

"This brat... the aura on his body is so pure! There's actually a faint medicinal fragrance!"

"Could it be some kind of transformed humanoid divine medicine? The legendary Million-Year Ginseng King?"

"Even if it's not a divine medicine, he must have eaten some Heaven-Defying supreme treasure! If we can refine him, we might be able to directly obtain that medicinal power..."

Countless Divine Thoughts intertwined in the shadows, filled with malice and greed.

Lu Li seemed completely oblivious, or rather, he simply didn't care.

He took brisk little steps and crossed that layer of radiant world barrier in one stride, entering the Secret Realm.

As soon as he entered the Secret Realm, an even denser Spiritual Qi rushed toward him.

He didn't rush toward the core area to fight for the Heavenly Essence Fruits like the others, but instead looked around curiously as he walked.
