#605 - Encountering the Enlightenment Fruit Tree Again

“Is there really a chance encounter in a place like this?”

Looking at the gloomy and terrifying broken canyon ahead, Gu Ruoxi and the others had solemn expressions.

This place looked like a forbidden area filled with ominous and terrifying energy, the nest of the Ghoul Devouring Worms.

No matter how they thought about it, there shouldn't be any chance encounters or treasures.

However, Su Chen had been acting like a prophet along the way, finding many hidden natural treasures, so Gu Ruoxi and the others were skeptical.

Su Chen just smiled and didn't explain or rush to act.

Instead, he quietly lurked outside the canyon.

A little over a quarter of an hour later, rustling sounds came from behind them, and hundreds of people appeared together!

These people were divided into two groups, the disciples of Changyang Mansion and Wuchen Sect, and they seemed to have joined forces to advance together.

“Are you sure there really is a Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree inside?”

The leader of the Changyang Mansion group spoke calmly.

This person had a head of red hair, a scarlet sun mark on his forehead, and a tall and straight body.

An aura of power and coercion flowed invisibly, making him stand out.

“Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree?”

Qing Ling and Gu Ruoxi, who were hidden in the void, were shocked when they heard this, and then their eyes lit up!

This was an extremely rare treasure!

Even in the God Realm, the Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree was a rare item, nurtured by heaven and earth.

Its fruit could help people comprehend the Dao, increase cultivation, and had infinite wonderful uses, providing great help even to Heavenly God Realm experts.

The Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree was a Heaven-Rank treasure tree, too rare to find.

Even Tianwu Academy didn't have one.

When they were in the Youming Demon Sect, Su Chen and Xinyan had dug up a Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree, which was still planted in the inner world of the Heavenly Yang Divine Light Bell.

However, the one Su Chen dug up was not the original plant, but a broken root of the Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree that had regrown.

It was naturally deficient and only had True-Rank quality, and its fruit was only useful to True God Realm and below martial artists.

If there was a Heaven-Rank Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree in the canyon, it would definitely be a great opportunity!

Even Ying, who was always calm and composed, had a gleam in her eyes at this moment, and slowly gripped the red curved blade at her waist.

“So Young Master Su already knew there was a Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree inside!”

At this moment, Gu Ruoxi and the others looked at Su Chen with even more surprise.

Such methods were too unbelievable!

“It's absolutely true!”

“We accidentally entered it before and saw a Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree with our own eyes, and it also had dozens of fruits, exactly the same as described in ancient books, there's absolutely no mistake!”

Someone in the Changyang Mansion group immediately spoke with certainty.

“At that time, we had just approached the Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree when we didn't expect a group of black strange insects to be hidden on the tree, and not only on the tree, but the entire canyon was densely packed with them!”

“These strange insects are very terrifying, not only as hard as metal and impenetrable to swords and spears, but they can even devour weapons and magical treasures.

If it weren't for Senior Brother Li having a life-saving trump card bestowed by an elder, none of us would have survived…”

The other surviving Changyang Mansion disciples also spoke one after another, their faces still filled with fear and palpitations.

Among the many disciples of Changyang Mansion, only the top geniuses with top-notch talent and strength were qualified to receive life-saving trump cards bestowed by the elders of Changyang Mansion.

Most disciples didn't have them.

If they hadn't contacted several top geniuses in Changyang Mansion with extremely terrifying strength, they wouldn't have dared to return to this place.

The situation of Wuchen Sect was similar.

Not long ago, two groups of people from Changyang Mansion and Wuchen Sect discovered the canyon and then broke into it.

They were hunted down by the overwhelming Ghoul Devouring Worms, and many people died.

After they escaped from this place, the more they thought about it, the more unwilling they were to give up the Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree, so they contacted the nearby sect geniuses.

Now, the two sides had gathered hundreds of people, preparing to join forces to break through!

“This person is named Kong Yang, the young supreme of Changyang Mansion, possessing the Heavenly Yang Divine Body.

His cultivation and strength are no less than mine.

You must be careful of this person.

If there are too many Ghoul Devouring Worms later, I may not be able to take care of each of you in time during the chaotic battle.”

At this moment, Ying suddenly spoke in a low voice, pointing to the red-haired youth at the head of Changyang Mansion and issuing a warning.

Then, she looked at the Wuchen Sect's team and pointed out a seemingly ordinary girl, wearing a white cloud-patterned long shirt and holding an iron sword in her arms, who was not eye-catching.

“I don't recognize this person.

She is not one of the famous geniuses of Wuchen Sect, but my intuition tells me that her strength may not be weaker than Kong Yang.

You should also pay attention to avoid her when the fight breaks out.”

Su Chen had brought them here in advance, undoubtedly knowing that there was a Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree in the canyon.

Now, Changyang Mansion and Wuchen Sect had gathered hundreds of disciples, preparing to compete for the Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree.

Su Chen and Ying would definitely take action to seize the Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree, and conflicts and battles would inevitably break out between the two sides, not to mention the powerful enemy of the Ghoul Devouring Worms.

Ying pointed out the strongest geniuses in the Changyang Mansion and Wuchen Sect teams, issuing a warning, so that everyone should be careful.

“Understood.”

Qing Ling and the others nodded solemnly.

Apart from Ying and Su Chen, the overall strength of their team was not very strong, not to mention that the number of people was far less than Changyang Mansion and Wuchen Sect, so they naturally couldn't take the enemy lightly.

Under the gaze of Su Chen and his party, hundreds of disciples from Changyang Mansion and Wuchen Sect all activated their weapons and magical treasures, and led by Kong Yang, strode into the canyon.

After passing through the ribbon-like black mist that shrouded the canyon, from a distance, the people of Changyang Mansion and Wuchen Sect saw the Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree at a glance.

It was an ancient tree about ten feet tall, vigorous and powerful, its trunk like jade, and its leaves were glowing, golden and brilliant, looking very peaceful and serene, with Dao rhythm surrounding it.

Buzz—

Before the people of Changyang Mansion could approach the Dao Comprehension Fruit Tree, bursts of buzzing sounds suddenly came from all directions!

One black insect after another crawled out of the ground, flapped its wings and flew up, rushing towards them overwhelmingly.

Although these insects were only the size of fingernails, they didn't seem conspicuous.

But when they pounced over, a disciple with True God Realm cultivation waved his long sword to chop and slash, and when he slashed on the insect, it made a clang sound, as if he had chopped on a stone, unable to break the insect's defense at all.

In the next moment, the disciple was surrounded by dozens of insects, his whole body was covered, even if he circulated his spiritual power at the first time, it was useless, and he couldn't shake these insects away.

What was even more creepy was that a few Ghoul Devouring Worms had crawled onto the True-Rank treasure sword in his hand, and they actually began to gnaw!

As a slight "crack" sound rang out, this treasure sword of no low quality was actually bitten out of several gaps!

It should be known that even a master of the eighth or ninth level of the True God Realm would find it difficult to destroy this treasure sword, but in front of the Ghoul Devouring Worms, it was eaten like tofu, too terrifying!

This meant that, under the same realm, ordinary weapons and magical treasures could not only not hurt the Ghoul Devouring Worms, but could not even block the Ghoul Devouring Worms' attacks!

This made a chill rise in the hearts of the people of Changyang Mansion and Wuchen Sect.
