234: Scam, monster wave breaks out

Opening the Storage Pouch, there were only three items.

A Purity Thunder Spirit Pill.

A piece of Cold Marrow.

A Thunder-attribute Spirit Stone.

The Purity Thunder Spirit Pill could protect the Meridians within the body from being harmed by the Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder.

Cold Marrow, nurtured only within ice that had not melted for ten thousand years, was an important auxiliary means for collecting exotic thunder.

The Thunder-attribute Spirit Stone could be used as bait for other purposes.

“The preparations are quite thorough!”

Chu Jiang put all of them into the purple gold gourd.

He had absolute strength; even without these treasures, he could forcefully refine it.

If he hadn't encountered him, this Earthly Fiend Star might really have had a chance to take away this Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder.

“It’s a pity that old fellow got away!”

The speed of Celestial Swift Star was indeed far beyond Divine Power; in this third layer, he could even break the sound barrier, and his speed was not much slower than his.

Even Erosion Sun Demon Lord twisting the Void Realm couldn't slow him down by half a point; the demon bloodline transplanted by that old man was definitely not simple.

Next time they meet, he must be caught and thoroughly studied.

With that said.

“Whoosh!”

Chu Jiang's figure disappeared from the spot, continuing to fly towards Liusha King's territory.

…

On the other side, under the guidance of the Mysterious Shadow, all major forces simultaneously discovered the location of the barrier-breaking immortal fruit.

Almost everyone rushed there.

Swish, swish, swish!

Everyone's gaze was instantly drawn.

What they saw was.

A ten-zhang tall golden fruit tree stood alone in the desert, with three dazzling golden fruits on its branches.

“It’s the barrier-breaking immortal fruit!”

“There are actually three of them, my Golden Serpent Valley wants one!”

“My Seven Stars Valley wants one!”

“Your mother, let's see the real chapter through our hands!”

With the appearance of the barrier-breaking immortal fruit, everyone became restless.

In front of such a Heaven And Earth Treasure, no one could remain calm.

Even the names of Seven Stars Valley and Ice Serpent Valley couldn't suppress everyone, as there were nearly twenty Divine Power Realm experts and dozens of Golden Core Realm experts present.

The scene immediately devolved into a chaotic battle, with some Golden Core Realm experts following behind to fish in troubled waters; even if they couldn't get the barrier-breaking immortal fruit, obtaining some unripe fruits would still be a huge harvest.

Its leaves, brewed into tea, were also rare Spiritual Artifacts.

It could be said to be a treasure all over its body.

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble slightly, as if some immense power was awakening beneath the surface.

The ground began to twist, and the soil churned like a living thing, revealing deep cracks.

From within the cracks, a pair of icy, sinister eyes slowly opened, emitting a ghostly green light as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

“This is a Xuan-grade Tenth-level demon, the Earth-Crawling Giant Demon!”

Jin She Lan, Valley Master of Golden Serpent Valley recognized this demon and let out an exclamation.

Once entangled by this giant snake demon, it could unleash a monstrous strength of two hundred elephants, which even a Divine Power Tenth-level expert could not withstand.

With a low growl from the Earth-Crawling Giant Demon, its head burst out of the ground, its scales shimmering with golden light in the sunlight, as if covered in a layer of golden armor.

It slowly raised its head, and its massive, elongated body emerged from the ground, resembling a moving Great Wall.

“Human Race ants, stealing the sacred fruit, you deserve to die!” the Earth-Crawling Giant Demon said coldly.

“Everyone, let’s kill this beast first, then discuss the Immortal Fruit’s whereabouts!”

Yu Hualing, Valley Master shouted sweetly.

Everyone nodded.

If it were a one-on-one fight, no one would be a match for this giant demon.

They had dozens of extraordinary beings; they would wear it down until it died here.

“Hiss, hiss!”

“Kill!”

The Earth-Crawling Giant Demon and the numerous Human Race powerhouses engaged in battle, and the entire Void Realm trembled, but with a casual strike, the Earth-Crawling Giant Demon heavily injured two Divine Power powerhouses who approached it and killed several Golden Core experts.

Everyone quickly realized something was wrong and adjusted their strategy, relying on Spiritual Artifacts to consume it from a distance, never approaching within a hundred zhang of it.

Just at this moment.

A Mysterious Shadow, taking advantage of the chaotic battle between everyone and the Earth-Crawling Giant Demon, suddenly burst out from the shadows, covering dozens of meters in an instant, heading straight for the golden fruit tree.

“Where did this ignorant mongrel come from? So many people are fighting the demon, and you want to steal the fruit alone? No way!”

“Seven Stars Soul Suppression!”

Yu Hualing, Valley Master coldly shouted, the Seven Stars Sword in her hand gleaming with cold light, transforming into more than a dozen identical Spiritual Qi Flying Swords, directly attacking the Mysterious Shadow.

“Get lost!”

The Mysterious Shadow roared loudly.

A palm strike erupted, purple light filled the sky, all the Spiritual Qi Flying Swords were scattered, and the Seven Stars Sword flew back dozens of meters.

“Purple Cloud Palm, you are Murong Yun, Ninth on the xuan ranking!”

Yu Hualing, Valley Master was startled; Purple Cloud Palm was Murong Yun's famous ultimate skill, and this Mysterious Shadow was ninety percent likely to be him.

This guy's combat power was close to the Faxiang Realm; if he had unleashed a full-strength blow just now, she would have been at least severely injured.

What they saw was.

The Mysterious Shadow, almost without encountering any decent resistance, arrived beside the golden fruit tree, and with a large hand, picked and swallowed a barrier-breaking immortal fruit directly.

Murong Yun licked his lips, still feeling a bit unsatisfied.

“Hahahaha… Thank you all for blocking the demon for me! I’ll break through to the Faxiang Realm first, then catch up with you all!”

Murong Yun laughed heartily, then picked the other two and decisively ran away.

To prevent being robbed, he could only swallow this barrier-breaking immortal fruit first; this Tai Xuan Secret Realm still had Wang Xuance and Chu Jiang, those two abnormal individuals, so only by swallowing it was the safest action.

“Beast!”

“Murong Yun, I'll curse your Immortal!”

“Damn you!”

Everyone exploded, they were fighting the demon on the front lines, on the brink of death, and this guy directly plucked the peaches, it was despicable.

He didn't even leave one for them, a complete beast.

However.

After the barrier-breaking immortal fruit was swallowed by someone, the Earth-Crawling Giant Demon showed no displeasure, but instead, a strange smile appeared.

Soon.

Murong Yun, who had not even run five hundred meters, suddenly had a distorted face, black Qi permeated his entire body, and his muscles bulged.

“This… what’s going on? Isn’t this the barrier-breaking immortal fruit?”

Murong Yun was both shocked and angry, and began to activate his Cultivation Technique to suppress it, trying to dispel this strange black Qi.

The result was completely useless.

“No…”

“Don’t be like this…”

“Save me!”

Murong Yun let out a roar, but no one paid attention to him.

Crack, hiss.

In just a few dozen breaths, he completely devolved into a bloody monster.

“Holy crap, fortunately we didn’t get it.”

“Otherwise…”

The outcome would be like Murong Yun, degenerating into a monster that was neither human nor ghost.

“Damn it, there’s no barrier-breaking immortal fruit at all!”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Yu Hualing, Valley Master sighed softly.

She had expected this situation early on.

Murong Yun must have been deceived, and then he came to deceive the powerhouses of the Western Seven Provinces to block the demons for him.

“Rumble!”

Suddenly, the earth trembled, like ten thousand beasts stampeding, making people gasp for breath.

Everyone looked back.

What they saw was.

Thousands of meters away, tens of thousands of demons were galloping at full speed, and the entire earth was shaking.

Powerful, terrifying, oppressive, various auras pressed in as if substantial.

This is… a demon tide!

“Oh my goodness!”

Huangquan Pavilion Master was horrified and immediately began to shout: “Retreat quickly!”

“Retreat…”

However, when he looked back, there was not a single person left; all had disappeared without a trace, and even the person closest to him had run two hundred meters away.

Oh my god!

He had only paused for a moment, yet these people ran so incredibly fast!

The powerful experts ran while cursing:

“It must be some damned scoundrel who triggered some Restriction, alarming this group of demons. If I find out which clumsy fellow it was, I’ll split him alive!”

“Entering this Tai Xuan Secret Realm, the treasures on the second layer were robbed, and on the third layer, we finally encountered the barrier-breaking immortal fruit, but it turned out to be a scam. It’s truly unlucky, and this demon tide just had to erupt at this time!”

“Not a single thing goes smoothly!”

For those who were robbed on the second floor, this was undoubtedly like a leaky house meeting continuous night rain.

“Damn it, faster!”

“Please, big brothers of the demon race behind me, my flesh doesn’t taste good, please run slower!”

“Explode, Heaven-Crippling Leg!”

Looking at the approaching demon tide, everyone wished their parents had given them two more legs, each using all their might to sprint desperately.

However, Chu Jiang, who was flying in the distance, seeing the scene of tens of thousands of demons stampeding, could no longer conceal the wild laughter at the corner of his mouth.

“Hehehe…”
