Chapter 1478 - Malevolent Spirit Fruit
Translator: Legge
Kunlun Ruins.
The more Su Zimo and the other two advanced, the more alarmed they became and the surrounding environment turned increasingly sinister and spooky.
The ruins of the Great Qian Empire were already filled with a rich malevolent aura after 10,000 years.
Coupled with the lingering souls, many malevolent ghosts were born!
However, compared to the Kunlun Ruins, the Great Qian Ruins was like a firefly against a bright moon; a drop of water against an ocean—it was a world of a difference!
The malevolent aura was so strong that Su Zimo and the other two felt uncomfortable.
It was not surprising for any vengeful ghost to be born from such a rich malevolent qi throughout history!
The blood qi of Su Zimo and the other two was strong and their Dharmic powers rumbled furiously. Most ghosts and fiends knew that they were strong and did not dare to approach them.
However, as they ventured deeper into the Kunlun Ruins, a phantom would flash before their eyes from time to time!
The blood qi in their bodies was also a great tonic for them!
Suddenly!
The malevolent aura in front of them surged and swiftly formed a black fog that floated towards the three of them—it wanted to devour them completely!
"Humph!"
Extreme Fire harrumphed coldly. "How dare a mere ghost try and come out to harm others in broad daylight?!"
Before his sentence was finished, he conjured a Dharmic art and tapped forward.
A scarlet flame burst forth and entered the swiveling malevolent black fog instantly!
The power of thunder and fire was a strong counter to such sinister objects.
Furthermore, Extreme Fire's flare was created from the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra and most Conjoint Body Mighty Figures could not withstand it!
However, the flare merely caused the black fog to pause for a brief moment without causing any ripples!
The black fog continued surging towards the three of them!
"Hehehehehe!"
A shuddering laughter sounded from the black fog!"
"There's no daylight in these ruins! It's always dark here!"
Swoosh!
Right after the voice sounded…
An incomparably gigantic skull suddenly appeared from the black fog. The holes in its eyes shone with a bloodthirsty glint as it opened its mouth and devoured the three of them!
"You must have a death wish!"
The Dharmic art in Extreme Fire's hands changed once more and three balls of flames appeared, condensing into Samadhi Dao Fire that shot over!
The power of the Samadhi Dao Fire was more than twice that of the previous flames!
The moment the Samadhi Dao Fire entered the skull's mouth, it burst into flames and the black fog surrounding the skull was burned into nothingness!
"Grawr!"
The skull let out an extremely painful roar. However, no matter how it channeled the malevolent qi, it could not extinguish the Samadhi Dao Fire on its body!
In just a few breaths, the bones of the skulls crackled from the heat and cracks appeared!
"If you dare to step into the Kunlun Ruins, don't even think about getting out alive!"
The skull said fiercely, "The flames here will definitely attract even more vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts. Just wait to be devoured!"
Before its words were finished, the skull exploded and scattered onto the ground, turning into ashes.
Extreme Fire sighed gently. "Back when our group arrived here, more than half of us were killed by these vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts. In the end, there were only three of us left when we entered the treasure ground."
After that, the three of them were even more careful and continued forward.
"Eh?"
Before long, Nian Qi's gaze shifted to a black fruit and her eyes lit up.
The fruit was the size of an infant's fist and was black on the outside. However, it shone brightly inside like a large and exquisite bunch of grapes.
"It's a Malevolent Spirit Fruit!"
Extreme Fire exclaimed softly.
When he saw Su Zimo's confusion, Extreme Fire explained, "Malevolent Spirit Fruits are extremely rare and can only be born after countless years in a place with rich Yin malevolent aura!"
"For most cultivators, the Malevolent Spirit Fruit is a poisonous fruit and they will definitely die if they consume it! However, once they advance to the Mahayana realm and experience the Malevolent Earth Fire of the three calamities of the Divine Power Tribulation, consuming the Malevolent Spirit Fruit will produce a miraculous effect!"
"The success rate of the Tribulation Transcendence will increase by at least 30%!"
There was definitely no such spirit fruit in Tianhuang Mainland.
That was because the conditions required to nurture a Malevolent Spirit Fruit were way too stringent that even an environment like the Great Qian Ruins could not produce one!
It was only possible in the Kunlun Ruins!
As the storyteller had said, danger and opportunities coexisted in the Kunlun Ruins.
Su Zimo did not say anything and merely frowned slightly, looking at the bottom of the Malevolent Spirit Fruit in deep thought.
Nian Qi had already walked forward, prepared to pluck the Malevolent Spirit Fruit.
"Don't move!"
"Watch out!"
Right then, two voices sounded at almost the same time.
The first warning came from Su Zimo.
The second was an unfamiliar voice.
Right then, something weird happened!
The ground beneath Nian Qi's feet suddenly cracked and a pair of extremely sharp cold lights flashed, slashing towards her!
When Nian Qi heard Su Zimo's warning, she was long prepared as she leaped up and looked down.
Bang! Boom! Boom!
From the crack on the ground, a gigantic Scarletback Centipede that was dozens of feet long slithered out and chomped down on Nian Qi who was in midair!
The cultivation of that Scarletback Centipede was at the perfected Conjoint Body realm!
Even among the eight demon regions, it was a ferocious beast with terrifying combat strength!
Although Nian Qi had just advanced to the Conjoint Body realm, half of her bloodline came from the God race. With a tender shout, she channeled her bloodline and Dharmic powers as a blinding sword that shone brightly appeared in her palm!
"Slash!"
Gripping her sword with both hands, Nian Qi slashed down fiercely at the Scarletback Centipede beneath!
Clang!
Although the gigantic sword stood on the Scarletback Centipede, it could not slash its way in and sparks flew instead!
Scarletback Centipedes loved corrosion. This particular one had cultivated countless years in this ruin and by now, its shell was invulnerable against weapons, fire and water!
"Humph!"
Nian Qi did not panic and dispersed her sword, channeling her Bloodline phenomenon right away. An ancient and majestic pyramid appeared in midair with countless living beings prostrating beneath it!
Boom!
The pyramid crushed down fiercely towards the Scarletback Centipede!
The Scarletback Centipede lamented.
Although its body was not afraid of sharpness, the pyramid carried an extremely terrifying might and crushed it into two with a ton of weight!
Black blood splattered everywhere!
The black blood in the Scarletback Centipede's body contained poison that could kill a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure with ease.
The Scarletback Centipede opened its mouth and spat out a black poison mist. Thereafter, it swayed its upper half of its body and wanted to burrow into the ground to escape.
Nian Qi possessed the bloodline of the God race and the poisonous blood could not close in to her body against the surge of her blood qi!
Swoosh!
Her figure fell and she charged down instantly. Grabbing one of the Scarletback Centipede's legs with her bare hands, she yanked it out of the crack in the ground!
Among the Primordial Nine Races, the God race's physique and bloodline were at the peak and were on par with the Dragon race!
Although the Scarletback Centipede was massive, it could not compare to Nian Qi in terms of strength!
After pulling the Scarletback Centipede out, Nian Qi smashed it onto the ground violently. The pyramid descended once more and crushed the Scarletback Centipede into a meat sludge!
That counterattack was extremely sharp and displayed Nian Qi's immense capabilities and combat strength!
Even Su Zimo nodded to himself when he saw that..
