Chapter 109: The Emergence of the Dao Fruit
the hunt.And now, within Tianyan Palace, having obtained the and with a clear understanding of the essence of sword intent thanks to it, coupled with his insights from the Starry Pavilion incident,...The second layer of the secret realm, just as always, is a pitch-black night.
"Bang!"
A burly figure, like a meteorite, crashed onto the stone wall of an unnamed mountain. The stone wall immediately burst apart upon impact.
Wow!
Another blade of icy light flashed, cutting straight through the stone wall and cleaving the entire mountain in two. The imposing figure barely dodged the sword's edge, scrambling to the empty space beside it.
"This person is so strong!!"
A stalwart figure, with a hint of awe, gazed upon the youthful man hovering in the empty space before him.
Wei Wuya, invincible combat strength in the Void Breaking realm.
Among the 138 Invincible cultivators of the Profound Void Realm in the Tian Shui Secret Realm, he wasn't the best of the best, but he was far from weak. He was considered mid-level.
He usually roamed this second-layer secret realm alone. Apart from a handful of people, no one could make him fear or back down.
But today, he encountered a strong foe.
Here is a young man, wielding a golden sword in his hand. He appears to be around twenty years old and his cultivation level is only at the middle stage of the Void Breaking realm.
At first, Wei Wuya didn't take the other party seriously. There was only one person, and he was only at the middle stage of the Broken Void. He didn't even bother to acknowledge him. However, who knew that as soon as the other party saw him, he rushed towards him without saying a word.
Wei Wuya was instantly enraged and wanted to teach the other party a good lesson.
When he actually fought, he realized that he was completely outmatched.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Spectral figures darted across the sky, the young man moved like a phantom, appearing beside Wei Wuyue. His golden divine sword flashed again and again.
Every sword strike possesses immense power.
Every sword strike contains profound sword intent.
"His power and might are comparable to mine, but his understanding of the Dao is far superior. His swordsmanship also surpasses mine by a considerable margin."
Wei Wuyu simultaneously wielded two hammers, engaging in a frantic battle with the young man. However, throughout the entire fight, he was completely suppressed.
During the battle, he also noticed that the opponent seemed to be holding back and not going all out. Otherwise, he would have been injured long ago.
Whew!
His figure flashed, and the young man suddenly stepped back.
"That's enough for now," the young man said.
"Are you giving up" Wei Wuya looked up, his face serious as he stared at the young man. "Tell me, what's your name"
"In the Heavenly Flame Dynasty, a young man named Su Xin spoke up. After finishing his words, he turned and left."
"Su Xin me"
Wei Wuya secretly remembered this name. "Among the invincible powerhouses in the Broken Void Realm who ventured into the Heavenly Water Secret Realm, there were only a dozen or so who were truly stronger than me and could make me unable to fight back throughout the entire process. But now, there is one more."
"This Su Xin, he's only at the early stage of Void Breaking right now. After some time, if his cultivation breaks through to the later stage of Void Breaking, or even the peak of Void Breaking, he'll likely become another Silver Moon Marquis. In the future, when I venture into this secret realm, if I encounter him again, I absolutely have to avoid him beforehand."
Shaking his head, Wei Wuya also soon departed.
Meanwhile, in the not-so-distant void, Su Xin, who had just finished a battle with Wei Wuya, now wore a look of surprise and joy on his face.
He sought out Wei Wuya to test his swordsmanship!
He just got his hands on that top-tier artifact, the Dragon Roaring Divine Sword.
But the result was even more surprising to Su Xin.
“The Heavenly Treasure, Qingwu Divine Sword, I used before only increased my swordsmanship by almost twice. But now, using the Longxiao Divine Sword, my swordsmanship power has increased by at least three times!” Su Xin chuckled lightly.
Compared to his sheer strength and power, he still had a considerable gap compared to Wei Wuya.
It was precisely because he had the Dragon Roar Divine Sword in his hand that his swordsmanship prowess increased dramatically, becoming almost on par with Wei Wuya.
And his understanding of sword intent and swordsmanship far surpassed Wei Wuyah's, naturally able to easily suppress Wei Wuyah. He hadn't even used the Blood Cloud Killing Array yet.
Besides, Su Xin also had a vague feeling that this was not the strongest power of the Dragon Roar Divine Sword.
The Dragon's Roar Divine Sword is a top-grade divine treasure sword. Top-grade divine treasures are generally only usable by Nirvana Realm experts. Only Nirvana Realm experts can drive it with spiritual power to unleash its full power. Compared to Nirvana Realm experts, Su Xin is still quite a bit short.
Of course, even though it may not be the strongest weapon, the Long Roar Divine Sword greatly increased Su Xin's power.
……
Under the night, a silence.
A vast expanse of barren land stretched before them, its surface a sea of yellow earth where not even a blade of grass dared to grow.
But at that moment, right in the center of this barren wasteland, the earth abruptly caved in, revealing a pitch-black pit. And the surrounding yellow soil and gravel, like quicksand, kept cascading into the chasm.
But at the very bottom of that pit, a light of alternating blue and red slowly began to glow.
This beam of light, at first very faint, became brighter and brighter as it slowly rose.
In just a moment, the light shot up completely from the hole and revealed its true form. It was a fruit, about the size of an adult's fist, with a mottled red and green exterior.
As the fruit rose, a sudden buzzing sound filled the air. A vibrant glow of crimson and azure erupted, intertwining as they shot towards the heavens.
For just a fleeting moment, crimson and azure light engulfed the entire world around them, spreading outwards through the void at a terrifying pace.
A spellbinding fruity fragrance gradually wafts away.
In a short while, the entire sky of the second layer of the secret realm was completely covered by blue and red light. The rich aroma of fruit also filled every corner of the second layer of the secret realm.
And countless powerhouses who ventured into the second layer of the secret realm, including many invincible experts in the Void Breaking Realm, were shaken at this moment.
What's going on
"Such a rich fruity aroma, and this pervading light of red and green! I can feel it, the source of this light is very far from where I am now, yet even from so far away, both the light and the fragrance have reached me"
"It's too big, the movement is too loud. This red and green light is probably going to cover the entire second layer of the secret realm!"
What kind of treasure has appeared
Countless strong individuals simultaneously raised their heads at this moment, looking towards the source of the azure-red light.
They could all faintly sense the distance between the source of the treasure and themselves through the radiance.
Many people know they are very far from the birth of that treasure, but it is precisely because of this that they are amazed.
Even from so far away, one can see such a commotion. What kind of extraordinary treasure could cause such a stir
Of course, some knowledgeable and powerful individuals, the moment they saw the red and blue light, already had a guess in their hearts.
"Red and green alternating, covering the entire second layer of the secret realm space, could it be… that treasure"
"It is it, definitely it!!"
"Haha, I waited for so long, finally met again once, this time, no matter what, I must get it!!"
……
OMG!
The entire second layer of the secret realm trembled violently under the influence of this red and blue light.
Countless powerhouses, no matter where they were, all rushed towards the source of the red and green at the fastest speed possible.
All the powerhouses who dared to venture into the second-layer secret realm have arrived.
A unprecedented feast of competition is about to begin.
……
In the vast emptiness, Su Xin also looked up, his face filled with a trace of shock as he watched the crimson and azure light that covered the entire sky above.
“This commotion is too loud!” Su Xin sighed inwardly.
Just like when the Dragon's Roar Divine Sword appeared before, it continuously spread out waves of sword cries, causing quite a stir.
However, compared to the treasures born today, it's far inferior.
This red and green light probably has already covered the entire second-layer secret realm space, alarming all the powerful beings who are venturing in the second-layer secret realm.
"The place where the treasure was born wasn't too far from my current location. Su Xin looked at the end of the red and green light, and the next moment, he set off directly, rushing to the place where the treasure was born at the fastest speed."
"What precious treasure is this that has been born"
Su Xin's confidence also carried a touch of curiosity, and expectation.
And soon after, Su Xin arrived at the vast prairie where the treasure was said to have been born.
On the open plain, the boundless field of vision was illuminated by a brilliant red and green glow, making the entire night sky impossibly bright. Su Xin had just arrived at this barren land when he saw, at the edge of his sight, a peculiar fruit enveloped in an endless sea of crimson and emerald light.
"That's... a path to enlightenment!!"
Su Xindeng was taken aback.
The Dao Fruit, also known as the Nirvana Fruit, is a treasure that would drive countless Void Breaking Realm powerhouses mad.
In a normal imperial dynasty, being in the Void-Shattering Realm is already considered powerful, but it's only reaching the threshold of strength. Only by crossing this threshold and breaking through to the Nirvana Realm can one truly ascend to greatness.
It's incredibly difficult for a Void Realm cultivator to break through and reach the Nirvana Realm. On average, out of every thousand Void Realm cultivators, only one might eventually achieve Nirvana, which is already considered quite remarkable.
Even though there are tens of thousands of powerful cultivators who have been exploring the Tianshui secret realm for years, very few can truly break through to the Nirvana Realm. Even among those 138 undefeated experts in the Broken Void Realm, probably no more than ten will successfully break through to reach the Nirvana Realm.
This is not only because breaking through the Void Realm to reach the Nirvana Realm requires extremely harsh conditions, but most importantly, even if you meet all the conditions, you still need to wait for a breakthrough opportunity before you can successfully break through.
Such a breakthrough opportunity may come only once in decades, even centuries, and some people may never encounter such an opportunity in their lifetime.
And at this time, the fruit of the Dao appeared.
The Tao Fruit, after being swallowed, can enter a short-term 'Taoist' state. This 'Taoist' state is actually equivalent to a breakthrough opportunity.
It has long been rumored that if a cultivator reaches the peak of the Void Breaking realm in all aspects and then consumes a Dao Fruit, they will immediately have the opportunity to break through. While it is not guaranteed that they will reach the Nirvana Realm after breaking through, out of a hundred people, at least ninety-nine would be able to breakthrough.
The probability of a breakthrough is 99%!
Even if some aspects don't meet the breakthrough requirements, relying on the Dao Fruit, the probability of breaking through in the end is still close to 50%!!
This means that any Void Shattering peak cultivator who accumulates their spiritual energy to the extreme, regardless of their understanding or other aspects, has a nearly 50% chance of breaking through to the Nirvana Realm if they obtain a Dao Fruit.
And those who already possess the breakthrough conditions of the Void-Breaking Pinnacle Realm, even more so, with a 99% success rate in breaking through.
Such a treasure, how could it not drive people crazy!!!
Su Xin was not skilled in alchemy or weapon forging, and he didn't know much about the world's many treasures. However, he did know about the existence of the Dao Fruit.
This is because when he first obtained some information about the Heavenly Water Secret Realm, it mentioned that within the past century, the second layer of this secret realm had witnessed several instances of Dao fruit appearing.
Every time a Dao fruit appears, it will cause chaos and bloodshed. Countless Void Realm powerhouses who venture into the second layer of the secret realm will engage in a frenzied struggle for it. Every time, a large number of powerful warriors die, and even those invincible in the Void Realm will lose several.
And now, this fruit, has reappeared once again!
……o, for his kind words."After the Azure Patrol Officer left, Su Xin strolled alone on the plaza.The square was crowded with people, and their cultivation levels were all above the Nirvana realm. Su Xin...
