“It has appeared … Vermillion Fruit has appeared!”

You Chang and You Qin stared fixedly at the cliff, only to see the white mist gradually dissipating, revealing the Ancient Immortal Tree inside.

The tree was not very large, only about three meters tall, but it was lush with branches and leaves, emitting a faint brilliance, filled with an immortal aura.

On the largest branch, there was a red immortal fruit hanging on it. It was hidden within the green leaves. This tree absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. That fruit would ripen once every thousand years. It was the Thousand Year Vermillion Fruit.

At this moment, everyone was attracted by the Vermillion Fruit on the tree. Even the skinny old man sitting in the southeast direction opened his eyes and looked at the immortal tree by the cliff. At this moment, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

In the northwest direction, Brocade Childe looked at the immortal fruit on the tree. At this moment, his eyes seemed to be filled with anticipation. Meanwhile, Old man Qingyi stood by the side and remained silent. It seemed that he did not intend to fight for the Vermillion Fruit at this time.

This thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruit will mature completely in about two hours. When it matures completely, it will fall off the tree. If no one picks it at that time, it will fall into the bottomless abyss.

However, it was still too late for everyone to fight for it, so how could there be no one to pick it? At this moment, someone was already beginning to stir and approach the cliff. At the same time, the layers of lightning clouds in the low sky suddenly rolled endlessly. Then, a bolt of lightning pierced through the sky, and with a “rumble”, it landed near the cliff.

The entire cliff was instantly cracked by rocks and dust. Everyone was so frightened that they hurriedly retreated. The thunderclouds in the low sky surged violently and heavenly thunder continuously descended. It actually formed a thunder domain near the Immortal Tree. Anyone who tried to approach it would be annihilated by the thunderclouds.

“This …”

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief. They saw that the thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruit was about to ripen, but at this moment, everyone was blocked by heavenly lightning. No one dared to approach it. What should they do this time?

Everyone had to retreat again. Right now, they could only wait for the heavenly thunder to dissipate. If the circle of heavenly thunder outside the Immortal Tree did not disappear, there was nothing they could do. Perhaps those with high cultivation levels could forcefully attempt it.

After nearly half an hour, everyone remained motionless. During that time, some people tried to use magic treasures to resist the heavenly lightning. However, even extremely powerful magic treasures could only withstand three or five heavenly lightning attacks at most. However, once they approached the immortal tree, countless heavenly lightning bolts would descend. What magic treasure could withstand it?

Another half an hour later, the Heavenly Lightning finally weakened. At this moment, the Vermillion Fruit on the Immortal Tree was completely red. Just as the Heavenly Lightning completely disappeared, everyone finally rushed forward to snatch the Vermillion Fruit from the tree.

Unexpectedly, before the crowd could charge forward, a sharp bird cry suddenly hovered in midair. Immediately after, countless divine lightning bolts descended, instantly turning the dozen or so people rushing at the front into ashes.

At this moment, the people behind were shocked and quickly retreated, only to see a big bird diving down from the clouds.

However, seeing that the bird was covered in green feathers and its wings were spread out. It was about three zhang long, and its wings were wrapped in lightning. With a light pounce, countless divine lightning bolts descended from midair. This bird was actually able to draw down this heavenly lightning bolt.

“That’s … Blue Wings!”

Everyone was shocked. They should have thought that there would be no spirit beasts guarding such a place where heavenly materials and earth treasures had matured. This Blue Wing was the Spirit of Lightning Swamp. Regardless of how many years it had been, just because it could draw down the Heavenly Divine Lightning, no one would be able to get close to the Vermillion Fruit.

Seeing the Thunder Spirit appear, everyone could only return resentfully and retreat. They did not dare to approach the cliff any further, thinking about the thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruit.

“The Southeast Lightning Swamp has spirits. Within the thunderclouds, the name Cang Yi …”

Xiao Chen looked at the Blue Winged Divine Bird. At this moment, his expression was extremely calm. He wasn’t as surprised as the others. He had expected that there were spirit beasts hiding nearby. Therefore, when the Vermillion Fruit ripened, he didn’t fight for them together. Instead, he waited for the spirit beast to come out. For now, it seemed that the Blue Winged Divine Bird had traveled for more than 1,500 years.

“It’s the divine bird Cang Yi, what should we do now …”

You Chang and You Qin frowned. Now that Spiritual Bloodline Force had not gathered together, the only person who could save the princess was the thousand-year-old Vermillion Fruit. Was he going to watch the Vermillion Fruit disappear?

You Chang’s face was a little anxious. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, “You are so capable. Can you deal with Cang Yi?”

Xiao Chen looked at the Blue-winged Divine Bird in the distance and said indifferently, “I’ll deal with Blue-winged. Are you going to seize the Vermillion Fruit?”

“I…”

You Chang was stunned by his words. It was not easy to compete with so many people for the Vermillion Fruit. At this time, Meng Xian’er walked up and said, “Then shall I go?”

“No, you can’t take this risk.”

Xiao Chen still looked at the divine bird Cang Yi in the distance. He clearly understood in his heart that it was difficult to let go of a spirit beast like this once it was entangled. It was best not to provoke it.

The others in the distance were also hesitant. No one was willing to deal with Cang Yi and let others pick up the benefits. Just as everyone was hesitating, a red shadow suddenly flew out from the bottom of the cliff and sneaked towards the Cang Yi Divine Bird in midair.

At this moment, everyone held their breath and looked closely. It turned out to be a scarlet red python. The scarlet python spat out a snake message and attacked Cang Yi like lightning. At this moment, Cang Yi sensed danger and hastily dodged, leaving behind a patch of green feathers in the air.

Very quickly, the Vermillion Scarlet Python fought with the Blue Winged Divine Bird. The two spirit beasts had cultivated for more than a thousand years, and their dao was on par with each other. They were not afraid of lightning. They fought until the sky was dark. Clearly, the two spirit beasts were mortal enemies for a thousand years.

This scene came too suddenly, but very quickly, everyone reacted. If they didn’t seize the Vermillion Fruit now, when would they wait?

At this moment, there were even more people rushing up to fight for the Vermillion Fruit. Almost everyone from all forces rushed towards the cliff. At this moment, Xiao Chen had already begun his Ling Xian Steps and was heading that way.

But at this moment, how many people were competing for the Vermillion Fruit? Soon, the crowd began to slaughter and stop the immortal tree from approaching. A layer of bloody aura gradually enveloped the entire cliff, and corpses continuously fell down.

This was Wuwang Sea’s battle. It was often bloody and cruel. Both You Qin and You Chang held their breaths. Their gazes followed Xiao Chen’s lightning-like movements and their hearts beat violently. They only hoped that he could smoothly reach the bottom of the Immortal Tree and obtain the Vermillion Fruit.

Meanwhile, Meng Xian’er was still standing on the spot, not participating in the competition for the Vermillion Fruit. Her gaze followed closely behind Xiao Chen. If anything unexpected happened, she could immediately step forward to help.
