Chapter 1974 - 1972: Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit

Ye Tianchen, accompanied by the Little Demon Bat Beast, entered the Medicine King Valley. Contrary to legends, they did not encounter any major danger immediately upon entering, resulting in destruction of both spirit and form. Instead, nothing happened; it was peaceful everywhere, with abundant sunshine and the pleasant scenery of birds chirping and flowers blooming!Gradually moving towards the depths of Medicine King Valley, Ye Tianchen stumbled upon a spirit grass known as the Blood Red Flower. However, this was of little use to him. What shocked him next was the sight of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree’s roots and stems. Nowadays, these roots and stems resemble vines, grounded in the earth, yet shooting towards the sky like towering trees!

Speaking of vines, these vines of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree are not small. On the contrary, they are like large trees, demonstrating how massive the Ten Thousand Demon Tree must have been during the mythical era. Legends say its branches and stems spanned heaven and earth, piercing through the heavenly vault, perhaps not an exaggeration!

When Ye Tianchen instructed the Little Demon Bat Beast not to provoke the vines of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree, and to carefully pass by them, the cowardly Little Demon Bat Beast unexpectedly insisted on provoking these vines. Ye Tianchen was both surprised and puzzled. Considering how the Little Demon Bat Beast, if not for being cowardly, obediently followed him; now facing the vines of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree, seemingly invincible, it dared to provoke them? Was it courting death?

Ye Tianchen is inherently fearless, yet he isn’t foolish enough to willingly seek death. Plus, his most pressing task now is to find the Spiritual Medicine Divine Grass to save Tian Boguang. Why waste time here?

However, the words of the Little Demon Bat Beast gave Ye Tianchen pause. He couldn’t help but glance at one of the vines of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree, noticing how different it was from others. It bore a crystal-clear fruit, which emitted a powerful spiritual energy that made his heart tremble. What was this thing?

"Oh my, I never imagined we would have such great fortune. Boss, this is your blessing!" the Little Demon Bat Beast exclaimed excitedly, looking at Ye Tianchen.

"What great fortune? What blessing?" Ye Tianchen asked, somewhat confused.

The Little Demon Bat Beast appeared distressed, but unwilling to miss such a rare opportunity, patiently explained to Ye Tianchen: "The Ten Thousand Demon Tree is a creature from the mythical era, rumored to have fallen into the Martial Arts World as an Immortal Tree. Its immense power once swept across the entire Martial Arts World, even able to battle against unparalleled figures in the Emperor Realm. This strength is truly awe-inspiring, and thus, the fruit borne on its vine is a Spirit Fruit from heaven and earth. Eating it may not grant eternal life and instant immortality, but it surely offers great benefits!"

"You mean, this is the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit, and consuming it would be immensely rewarding!" Ye Tianchen thought for a moment and said.

"Exactly, the boss is indeed smart. This is a rare opportunity, throughout history, who has obtained the Ten Thousand Demon Tree’s fruit? And now the chance is right before us, it can’t be missed!" the Little Demon Bat Beast said excitedly.

"This Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit may indeed be a treasure, even comparable to a life-extending Immortal Elixir, but no one has ever obtained it, nor consumed it. Even if we get our hands on it, would we dare to consume it?" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

"Then... this... we can’t just watch such an opportunity slip away, can we? The fruit of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree, who has obtained it in billions of years?" the Little Demon Bat Beast asked excitedly.

"Do you know any secret about this Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit?" Ye Tianchen suddenly felt the Little Demon Bat Beast’s reaction was odd, staring intently into its eyes.

The Little Demon Bat Beast, inherently cowardly, wouldn’t have been subdued by Ye Tianchen otherwise. Along the way, whenever it sensed danger, it would either flee first or hide behind Ye Tianchen, never rushing into danger. Knowing there was danger and still going for it was impossible. However, upon seeing the crystal-clear fruit on the vine of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree, the Little Demon Bat Beast was unusually excited, seemingly forgetting the danger. This reaction was indeed peculiar, raising Ye Tianchen’s suspicions!

"No, no, I just think that the fruit produced by the Ten Thousand Demon Tree’s roots must be extraordinary, and the opportunity is rare no matter its usefulness, get it first and then say!" the Little Demon Bat Beast laughed dryly and said.

"Since there’s no secret about the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit that interests me, why would I take such a risk? Remember, it’s the root of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree. Even after thousands of years, that power is still beyond what common people can endure. Charging through it would likely lead to death!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.

The Little Demon Bat Beast glanced at Ye Tianchen, then at the translucent fruit at the tip of one of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree’s vines. It was almost too tempting to resist, and it furrowed its brow and said, "Boss, to be honest, there’s another legend about this Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit..."

Bang!

Ye Tianchen punched the Little Demon Bat Beast on the head and said irritably, "You still dare to be dishonest at this moment? Do you really want to die?"

"No, no, I just thought the rumor seemed a bit false, not worth believing, so I didn’t want to deceive you!" The Little Demon Bat Beast laughed awkwardly.

"If that’s the case, then let’s forget it. Let’s continue forward, but don’t touch the Ten Thousand Demon Tree vines. If you’re determined to get the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit, go and pick it yourself, I’m heading out!" Ye Tianchen said indifferently.

"No, don’t, Boss, I’ll tell you, is that okay?" The Little Demon Bat Beast sighed and said.

It turns out that the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit has another legend. It’s said that during the Mythical Era, the Ten Thousand Demon Tree was already exceptionally powerful, yet still couldn’t compare to those in the Emperor Realm. In such a situation, the Ten Thousand Demon Tree plunged deep into the earth, seeking to draw upon the power of the Dragon Vein within the galaxy to become even stronger. In this quest, the Ten Thousand Demon Tree’s roots unexpectedly bore flowers and fruit, undergoing an exceptional transformation. With these changes, the Ten Thousand Demon Tree began refining the fruit growing on its roots for its own use, thereby becoming a being comparable to those in the Emperor Realm.

"To bear fruit itself and refine it itself? That really is quite a miraculous thing!" Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but furrow his brows and said.

"Yes, because of this, later generations of powerhouses believe that the Ten Thousand Demon Tree absorbed the power of the Dragon Vein within the Star Domain, which allowed it to bear such translucent fruit. The power contained in the fruit is the purest form of Dragon Vein power. Once one absorbs and refines this power, their cultivation realm and strength would undoubtedly greatly increase!" The Little Demon Bat Beast nodded and said.

"Oh no, I understand why the Ten Thousand Demon Tree’s seeds sprouted and grew in the Penglai Ancient Martial World, yet the roots of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree remain here in the Barbaric Forbidden Land!" Ye Tianchen suddenly realized and said.

Ye Tianchen now easily deduced that the reason the seeds of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree sprouted in one place and its roots remained in another is that the Ten Thousand Demon Tree’s Nirvana Rebirth seeds are more suited to growing in the Original Restricted Zone of the Penglai Ancient Martial World. As for the roots of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree, they have grown into something resembling vines, tasked with protecting the Nirvana Rebirth seeds of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree and empowering them according to the Little Demon Bat Beast’s account. Back in the Mythical Era, the Ten Thousand Demon Tree became a transcendent entity sweeping the Martial Arts World, casting its shadow over the Heavenly Vault after refining the translucent fruit borne from its roots. Now, the Ten Thousand Demon Tree’s roots reside in Medicine King Valley, already bearing such fruit awaiting maturity. This indicates that it’s highly possible that the roots of the Ten Thousand Demon Tree will deliver this fruit to the new body post-Nirvana Rebirth. Once the new body refines this translucent fruit, it may once again become the Ten Thousand Demon Tree of the Mythical Era. At that time, would there still be a path for survival for any being in the Martial Arts World?

The Ten Thousand Demon Tree is a demon tree. Once in the Mythical Era, it devoured the flesh and blood of countless beings, piercing them with its branches and leaves, consuming their flesh. Once such a demon tree grows, who could stand against it? It’s feared that even the peerless beings in the Emperor Realm may not be able to halt it once it grows!

"Could it be that they are nurtured separately, and when the time comes, they will merge? Then... gosh, is the Ten Thousand Demon Tree defying the heavens?" The Little Demon Bat Beast also thought of this possibility and asked in shock.

Ye Tianchen furrowed his brow and gazed at one of the highest-standing vines among the Ten Thousand Demon Tree’s roots. At its top, there was a translucent fruit, shining as brightly as crystal, emitting a powerful spiritual power. Especially with all these vines around it, ready to strike at any moment, it seemed clear that if any living being dared approach and attempt to snatch the Ten Thousand Demon Spiritual Fruit, they would face deadly attacks!

"Judging by the state of the fruit, it may completely mature within the next few years. Once matured, it should fly to the Original Restricted Zone of the Penglai Ancient Martial World, allowing the Nirvana Rebirth Ten Thousand Demon Tree to absorb the fruit’s power, successfully merging with its form. The Ten Thousand Demon Tree has long planned this!" Ye Tianchen thought to himself with a frown. (To be continued.
