1617 Gou Chen Imperial Commander Versus Calamity Yin Yang, Lil Fox Is One Step Ahead
"The Pepino melon is not something anyone can have their eyes on," a cold voice said.
A man in bronze armor, whose hand wielded a sword and back carried a bow, came over confidently.
A terrifying energy presence overflowed as he approached. It felt like a massive army had arrived.
"It's Gou Chen Imperial Commander!"
"It's him!?"
"One of the six Imperial Commanders of the Immortal Hall? He has finally appeared?"
His arrival put a heavy look on the crowd's faces.
Following his arrival, more powerful energy presences appeared one after another.
One of them carried scorching energy presence, and the sheer heat scorched the land charred.
The mysterious blue-haired woman appeared.
The Gou Chen Imperial Commander was slightly surprised by the woman's arrival.
"A Prodigy from the Jiangshi Restricted Area? Who are you?"
"Hanba, Drought Maiden."
"Oh, the current era's Drought Maiden. Please excuse my impoliteness."
The Drought Maiden was a title given to the best sky-pride of the Hanba Tribe, and it granted the sky-pride a prestigious status among the tribe.
Following Drought Maiden's arrival, another substantial Buddhist Light shone into the sky.
Conjurations of flowers dancing in the sky appeared, and an ancient Buddha apparition manifested.
A handsome monk in white Kasaya, wielding a golden Zen scepter and a violet golden bowl came over.
Behind him were other sky-prides and Prodigies, all bald. Some of them were quite famous in the Immortal World, and they all followed Fa Hai around with the most devoted look.
"Damn. Isn't that Ultimate Sword Shadow? Why is he a monk now?"
"That's the Flowery Deity! Where's her hair?"
"What happened? Why are they all monks and nuns now? Who is that monk in white Kasaya?"
The group was dumbfounded by the strange scene.
The Gou Chen Imperial Commander and Drought Maiden looked at the incoming group, their expressions dark.
"Since when did the Buddhist world have such a strange cultivator?" the Gou Chen Imperial Commander said.
"Amitabha. I'm Fa Hai, a disciple of the Great Thunder Temple."
Everyone had heard of the Great Thunder Temple.
"I heard that two years ago, the Far West Land's Five Ways Pure Land suffered a catastrophic Buddha Destroyer incident. They were heavily impacted, and after that, it paved the way for the Great Thunder Temple to rise to power."
"Hmph. Fa Hai seems unusual."
Bang!
Then, black and white Immortal Sparks exploded in the air.
A streak of light flew in with extreme speed, leaving a trail of destruction behind.
A number of the crowd could sense a terrifying aura from the streak of light.
"Hahaha! There are so many sky-prides and Prodigies here. It seems like I can go on a killing spree!"
A burst of laughter sounded.
Calamity Yin Yang had arrived.
The other sky-prides and Prodigies reacted heavily to his arrival.
"What is this strange energy presence?"
"Why do I feel like he's oppressing me?"
Calamity Yin Yang was someone they could not understand.
He cultivated the Yin Yang Dao and had merged himself with the calamitous energy of the world. Hence, he had a natural oppression toward all the living beings in this world.
Those who were weaker or on par with him might face a huge disadvantage if they engaged him in a fight.
Ever since his appearance, many sky-prides and Prodigies had fallen to his might. Even the great ones of the Immortal World wanted to eliminate him.
Unfortunately, he snatched the will of the Immortal World from a Heavenly Champion and became one of them, which prevented the great ones from targeting him.
"Oh? Is this the legendary Pepino melon? Interesting."
Calamity Yin Yang reached out to the Pepino tree, but the Gou Chen Imperial Commander stood right before him.
With a single slash, he was able to force Calamity Yin Yang away.
"Interesting."
Calamity Yin Yang stared at the Gou Chen Imperial Commander with slight surprise.
Ever since his appearance, rarely any sky-prides or Prodigies could force him back. The Gou Chen Imperial Commander would be the first one.
"Is this the power of a Peerless Prodigy? Very well, I shall test your strength myself."
Calamity Yin Yang's Yin Yang Immortal Sparks swirled, and he unleashed his Arch Gilded Intent mixed with the calamitous energy at the Gou Chen Imperial Commander. In the process, the void shattered.
The Gou Chen Imperial Commander might be surprised at the strangeness of the calamitous energy, but as a Peeress Prodigy, he was also powerful.
He swung a slash forward, releasing the power of a massive army in the sword ray.
When the two energies clashed, the void shattered.
Calamity Yin Yang and the Gou Chen Imperial Commander were both blasted away.
"My Arch Gilded Intent was overpowered by ten percent…"
The Gou Chen Imperial Commander reacted grimly to the blast. It was his first time running into such a strange opponent.
Fortunately, even though he was overpowered, he could still put up a fight with his remaining strength.
Calamity Yin Yang might be a powerful opponent, but his cultivation base was not ridiculously powerful. It was even slightly weaker than the Gou Chen Imperial Commander.
He could overpower the Gou Chen Imperial Commander because of the calamitous energy.
"Haha. You are indeed powerful."
After having a grasp of the Gou Chen Imperial Commander, the arrogance in Calamity Yin Yang toned down.
He might possess the Calamitous energy of the world, but it was not enough for him to disregard everyone. He still had to strengthen himself for future challenges.
"The Pepino melon can help one manifest the Life's Core Flower. I must get it," Calamity Yin Yang thought.
Unfortunately, with the Gou Chen Imperial Commander in his way, it would not be easy for him to get the fruit.
"There are quite a number of Pepino melons here. Why don't we just split it?" Calamity Yin Yang suggested.
His words made the Gou Chen Imperial Commander, Drought Maiden, and the others ponder.
"There are only forty-nine of the Pepino melons. How are we going to split it?" the Drought Maiden asked.
"We'll see who gets the most!"
Calamity Yin Yang's figure flashed as he dashed forward like a bolt of lightning and headed straight for the Pepino tree.
"Hmph! You're not the one with speed here!" The Gou Chen Imperial Commander grinned.
The others also joined the fray.
Yu Zhi, Ye Zhu, and others who were rather close to Chu Kuangren also joined the competition.
They, too, were tempted by the Pepino melons.
However, Wuzhuang Temple was surrounded by layers of restriction seals, stopping intruders from entering.
While the group tried their best to break the restriction seals to enter the temple, one of the sky-prides noticed someone had made it through.
"Look! There's a fox inside!"
The group turned in that direction.
A girl with fox ears swiftly passed through the restriction seals and arrived before the Pepino tree before everyone else.
The girl had a Moonfang Mark on her forehead that released a faint but substantial Daoist Rhyme.
"It's the Moonlight Fox!"
"A Moonlight Fox can ignore restriction seals! Damn it! We must stop her!"
The one who passed through the restriction seals without hindrance was indeed Lil Fox.
She grinned at the others who were trying to break through the restriction seals. "You guys can take your time. I'll be taking the Pepino melons."
She reached out to one of the Pepino melons, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not pluck it.
"What fruit is this? I can't pluck it."
"Lil Fox, those are the Pepino melons. It will only fall when it touches metal, and it will sink when it lands on the ground. Try to pluck it with metal and do not let it fall on the ground," Ye Zhu telepathically informed Lil Fox from outside.
He knew Lil Fox from the Chaos Fragment because she appeared and helped Chu Kuangren.
She was an ally.
"I see."
Sudden realization hit Lil Fox. She pulled out a small mallet and hammered the Pepino melons.
Bang!
The Pepino fruits fell, and Lil Fox quickly caught them using her Yin and Yang Ring.
Then, she happily continued malleting the other fruits from the tree.
