Chapter 1149: Towards the Supreme Seven Death Body

Those creatures were guarding this place, simply waiting for the fruits to ripen, so a bloody battle was inevitable. None of the four creatures were to be trifled with.

An old Celestial Hound, with grayish-white fur, looked extremely ancient and emaciated, yet no one would underestimate it; it was a peak God King-level creature. Beside it was a golden pangolin, dazzling and appearing like an ancient celestial dragon, lying dormant here, its vital energy surging.

The other two were humanoid, appearing like humans, but their true origins were unknown.

They were all staring at the Bloodline Ancient Tree, silently waiting for the fruits on it to ripen.

The Bloodline Ancient Tree was lush and verdant, with flourishing branches and leaves. Its entire body was a vibrant jade green, as if carved from jasper, emitting a sacred green radiance.

Of course, the most striking feature was the abundance of fruits on it, no less than a hundred. All were pure white and crystalline, and some even emitted wisps of primal chaos mist.

Such things were clearly not ordinary; they were rare treasures!

The sheer number of fruits surpassed Chu Feng's expectations and astonished Old Gu; even he hadn't imagined that over a hundred could ripen at once.

However, he secretly shook his head. Although there were many fruits, they each represented different bloodlines, and not every fruit was edible for creatures of all races.

This was because their properties differed, and consuming them indiscriminately could lead to serious problems.

Chu Feng estimated that there was only one type of fruit that could further advance his Human King bloodline.

The Bloodline Ancient Tree was verdant, and the radiance it emitted was incredibly sacred, dispelling the malevolent aura and forming a pure land of its own.

Here, there were no burning scriptures or signs of the Martial Lunatic. The central part of the island was a peaceful area formed by the Bloodline Ancient Tree itself.

This place appeared much safer than the area strewn with corpses.

Chu Feng and the others hid inside the stone pot, amidst the malevolent aura and the scattered corpses, effectively concealing their presence. This was primarily due to the Reincarnation Soil covering them, preventing even the four terrifying creatures from sensing them.

This area was littered with too many corpses, with blood from various races flowing everywhere, and the stench of blood was overwhelming.

Naturally, Chu Feng and the others did not get too close; if they were exposed, it would mean a fight to the death with the adversaries.

“Do you see the fruits on the Bloodline Tree emitting wisps of primal chaos mist? Those are unaligned fruits. Once they ripen, they can further advance one's original bloodline, leading to another transformation!” Old Gu secretly informed them.

All hundred-plus fruits were pure white and glowing, but most had different properties; only a select few had wisps of primal chaos mist.

This was exactly what Chu Feng needed!

He didn't desire a White Tiger bloodline or a Dragon body; his human bloodline was sufficient. If he could further advance it by consuming the unaligned fruits and promoting a mutation in his own lineage, it would be wonderful.

A gust of fierce wind blew, causing the Bloodline Ancient Tree to sway and all the fruits on it to tremble. The area around the sacred and peaceful old tree was no longer tranquil; it began emitting terrifying sounds.

From within some fruits, the roars of true Hou beasts could be heard.

“Oooowww!”

And from other pure white fruits came thunderous tiger roars that shook the heavens and earth.

At the same time, special patterns appeared on those bloodline fruits, faintly revealing the faces of ancient creatures.

Northeast Tiger was stunned, then trembled with excitement. He secretly transmitted a message: “I heard it, I saw it! There are tiger bloodline fruits there!”

His purpose in coming was to change his bloodline; he no longer wanted to be a donkey spirit, and now he saw hope.

“What a coincidence, are these fruits about to ripen?” Even Chu Feng felt a slight thrill. He greatly anticipated his bloodline mutating again, which would undoubtedly enhance his physique once more.

“It's not that we arrived at a coincidence,” Old Gu said, “but that these four creatures performed a sacrifice here, accelerating the ripening of the bloodline fruits.”

To perform a sacrifice, various rare materials were naturally required, including potent soul bones from related races!

This place had been artificially interfered with.

“Just wait,” Old Gu said confidently, “they might ripen in less than a month, or even sooner!”

“I'm going to become a Desolate Tiger!” Northeast Tiger grinned foolishly. He had truly had enough; he was miserably tricked by the old donkey in the Cycle of Reincarnation and, being too straightforward, was reincarnated as a donkey.

He was overjoyed, slinging an arm around Chu Feng's shoulder and saying, “We brothers are truly fated; to meet again in the Yang Realm! I'll soon regain my true form.”

A warm current also flowed through Chu Feng's heart. Thinking of everything in the Lesser Netherworld, watching Yellow Ox, Big Black Ox, Ouyang Feng, and others depart one by one, dying in the Great Abyss, and then witnessing their reincarnation, his heart was filled with a mix of bitterness, sweetness, sourness, and spice, a taste difficult to describe. All that mattered was being able to reunite in the Yang Realm.

He hoped for a day of reunion, praying that no one would encounter misfortune, even though he knew the difficulty was immense.

Suddenly, near the stone pot, a brilliant light erupted. A pile of scriptures rustled, flipping open on their own, and then a figure abruptly appeared, sitting cross-legged in the void.

“This is bad!”

Both Chu Feng and Old Gu realized that something terrible was happening. The Martial Lunatic had appeared, and there was an enchanted scripture here that they had astonishingly failed to notice.

Chu Feng wanted to seal the stone pot immediately, but it was too late. It wasn't the Martial Lunatic's illusory body exerting its power, but a fierce blade light that swept across the sky.

Some of the blade light rushed towards the stone pot, slipping through a crack.

“Roar!”

Old Gu was shocked and enraged. They had been secretly targeted without realizing it; this was far too dangerous.

It seemed that the burning of the scriptures, manifesting the Martial Lunatic's body, was also the doing of the hidden creature.

The stone pot shook violently, struck by the blade light. It trembled fiercely, and its lid flew off, unable to stay on.

Moreover, that terrifying blade light was about to blast its way in!

At the crucial moment, Old Gu shot up against the void, confronting the blade light. Amidst a deafening roar, Old Gu was flung away, but he was then suppressed by the burning scriptures and the forming figure of the Martial Lunatic, rendering him almost unable to move.

However, at the critical moment, the stone pot's lid, pulled by Old Gu, also flew diagonally and slammed into the scriptures. With a bang, the Martial Lunatic's figure flickered unstably.

With a flash of blade light, the Sky-Gold Stone Coffin was sent flying.

Inside the stone pot, the scene was dire. Northeast Tiger was split into two halves, blood gushing forth. Even though Old Gu had rushed out and blocked the blade light, some parts of it had still flashed through.

After all, the stone pot's lid had been knocked off.

“Roar!”

Chu Feng roared in fury. He had almost fallen out at the same time as Old Gu, immediately summoning his past life's Dao Fruit; otherwise, he too would have been destined to be split in two.

However, he couldn't help Northeast Tiger block the attack; it was all too late.

All of this happened in an instant; that sudden blade light almost annihilated them all!

“Brother Tiger!” Chu Feng yelled.

That terrifying blade light flashed by. Although it didn't directly strike Northeast Tiger, it was a mere wisp of killing intent that had surged forth, yet it was still more than Northeast Tiger could bear.

Chu Feng's heart trembled, fearing he would die.

At the same time, the blade light returned, flying towards Chu Feng.

“Get away! This is the Seven Deadly Bodies, leading to the ultimate!” Old Gu roared.

Chu Feng saw fresh red blood in the flung-out pot, not knowing how Northeast Tiger was. His eyes turned red, and he roared uncontrollably in a fit of rage.

Meanwhile, lightning flashed, rumbling beyond the sky.

What was happening? Even the heavenly tribulation hadn't descended immediately. This island truly lived up to its reputation as a former forbidden land of the Yang Realm; it was too special, with time fragments faintly sealing off heavenly secrets.
