Chapter 513: Chapter 257: Three Swords Slay the Demon, Void Thunder Spirit Fruit_3

It took a full hour to finish reading the information in this jade butterfly.

What surprised Han Yi was that this jade butterfly was not one-time use but permanent. Taking it back to the Xuandan Sect meant it was an important tool to enhance the sect’s foundation.

It is self-evident how important information is in all worlds.

In the Daqian Immortal Country alone, Xuandan Sect was aware of all the major and minor powers of Daqian, but in the entire Yu Heng World, and even the entire Beidou Region, Xuandan Sect was basically in the dark.

This jade butterfly couldn’t have come at a better time for Han Yi. He considered it a great favor and engraved it in his memory.

Continuing on.

He carefully put the Jade Butterfly into the Qiankun Ring, stored the Soar for Ten Thousand Miles Array before he began to explore this tower.

However, unlike the previous palaces, this tower was filled with only a few chunks of treasure fragments due to their unique material and about ten decaying skeletons.

When Han Yi used the Sword Tool to touch these skeletons, they turned into ashes in an instant along with their inner armor robes and treasures.

Han Yi guessed that these skeletons, like the master of the Demon Slaying Armor he saw in the previous palace, had the cultivation base of Spirit Transformation Experts during their lifetime. Thus, they could maintain their skeletal state till now if left untouched.

As for cultivators below Spirit Transformation, they had long turned into ashes.

Han Yi felt some regret. If he could obtain the complete relics of a Spirit Transformation cultivator, he would surely soar to the sky.

However, if he really obtained the relics of a Spirit Transformation cultivator, the dangers involved would be too difficult for him to withstand. For example, the Spiritual Treasure alone on a Spirit Transformation cultivator would easily wipe him out.

Han Yi had this self-awareness.

After searching, Han Yi flew out of the tower and soared hundreds of meters into the air to take a look around. After confirming his direction, he proceeded deeper into the area.

Two hours later.

Han Yi flew out of an Immortal Mountain with disappointment. There was a cave mansion in the Immortal Mountain, but everything inside was extremely decayed. Apart from a few unknown material fragments, everything else had turned into dust.

After flying out of the Immortal Mountain, Han Yi followed the predetermined route and continued flying deeper into the area.

This Eternal Rest Immortal City was so vast that Han Yi couldn’t compare it to Qian Du. He couldn’t see the boundaries of the city, but from the height of the city wall, he believed that this Immortal City was much larger than Qian Du.

At present, he had only explored less than one ten-thousandth of the area.

However.

Just as he was about to fly deeper, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly came from afar. Although it was far away, the breath carried several Monarch Level and dozens of Golden Core Peak cultivators’ auras, intertwined and obviously triggered real conflict.

So many cultivators gathered together?

Han Yi frowned.

In his own case, if it had been elsewhere, he would not have wanted to be part of such excitement, but it was different here. This was the Fragmented Immortal World, a piece of the former Immortal Realm, and everyone was in an immensely large Immortal City.

Since entering the Immortal City, Han Yi had encountered the skeletons of Spirit Transformation Level ancient demons and the corpses of several Spirit Transformation Level cultivators.

Besides, there must be even higher-level cultivator corpses and more terrifying dangers in this Immortal City.

Han knew this, and the other cultivators who entered the city knew it even better.

Only a heaven-defying treasure could make so many cultivators fight each other.

Such treasures in the cultivation world are met, not sought.

Han Yi thought about it and, unwilling to miss out, decided to investigate. If the scene was beyond his ability, he would watch from a distance and leave. If there was an opportunity within his grasp, he would take a shot.

If he faced real danger, he still had the Fourth-stage Talisman, the mysterious ancient corpse in the Qiankun Ring, and the ‘Age Candle’ token from the mysterious cave mansion.

With so many cards up his sleeve, not daring to take a gamble would make him not cautious, but cowardly.

After making up his mind, Han Yi sped up and turned into an afterimage. Using the Light Body Technique, he fled forward.

It took him a quarter of an hour to reach the periphery of the area with intense spirit energy fluctuations.

At the outer edge, even the air was filled with a terrifying murderous intent that made Han Yi’s hair stand on end. It was a truly dangerous place.

His eyes shone brightly, taking in the scene within a radius of tens of kilometers.

Thirty terrifying figures had utterly transformed this area into a battlefield more than ten kilometers away.

Among them were seven Monarch Level cultivators, with two Demon Cultivators who had transformed into their true forms.

The remaining thirty figures were mostly Peak Golden Core cultivators and Demon Cultivators, with only four or five Late-stage Golden Core cultivators relying on their heaven-defying abilities to contend against the Golden Core Peak cultivators and seize opportunities.

At the edge of the battlefield, about twenty Late-stage Golden Core cultivators, aware of their insufficient strength, dared not recklessly enter the battle. However, they still struggled, eager to try but unwilling to leave.

Following the gazes of the crowd, Han Yi looked at the spiritual items everyone was fighting over tens of kilometers away. His eyes widened in shock and ecstasy.

In the center of the raging spiritual energy, a thousand-meter-high giant tree towered. At a first glance, the tree seemed to be devoid of any extraordinary features; in fact, its trunk was wrinkled and its branches withered, making it look like an ordinary old tree.

But.

On the branches were palm-sized black fruits nestled between the leaves. The black fruits had arcs of electricity flickering and dancing around them, emitting an awe-inspiring aura as if they were weak black thunderbolts.

“Void Thunder Spirit Tree, Void Thunder Spirit Fruit.”

“It’s actually Void Thunder Spirit Fruit.”

Han Yi’s heart was filled with ecstasy, his gaze trembling with shock.

Once at the Scripture Collection Pavilion of the Xuandan Sect, Han Yi had read a book called “Record of Strange Treasures” that mentioned this spirit fruit.

Void Thunder Spirit Fruit was considered a legendary spiritual item in the Cultivation World. Aside from sacred lands, it was basically impossible to find them outside because this fruit had a very demanding growth basis: it could only be planted atop a Ninth-stage Spirit Vein.

Moreover, it needed to be baptized by thunder for at least a thousand years before it would bear fruit.

As a result, this fruit had transcended the ordinary spiritual fruits and was regarded as a strange treasure, second only to Immortal Fruit.

The benefits of this strange treasure of a Spirit Fruit were extremely heaven-defiant as well.

On one hand, it could enhance one’s physical constitution and possibly transform a cultivator’s physique into that of a thunder attribute.

On the other hand, it had a powerful effect in improving one’s cultivation base. After all, these fruits had absorbed energy from a Ninth-stage Spirit Vein. Each fruit contained highly compressed spirit energy, far surpassing top-grade spirit stones in enhancing cultivation, making it as effective as a Pill Rune Level pill – and without any side effects.

However.

Han Yi was puzzled that within more than ten kilometers of the Void Thunder Spirit Tree, numerous cultivators were frantically fighting over only seven or eight Void Thunder Spirit Fruits, while there were still hundreds of fruits on the tree with no one attempting to pick them.

Moreover, within a kilometer of the Void Thunder Spirit Tree, no cultivator dared to step in.

Han Yi’s confusion was quickly dispelled when a newly arrived Late-stage Golden Core cultivator, eyes filled with ecstasy, sped up like lightning, darted through the raging spiritual energy, and entered the kilometer boundary around the Void Thunder Spirit Tree.

In an instant.

A horrifying thunderbolt extended from the void and struck the cultivator, sending him tumbling down.

As if it were a chain reaction, within a kilometer of the Void Thunder Spirit Tree, the thunderbolts went berserk, emerging wildly, and turning the entire kilometer boundary into a thunder domain.

The cultivator who had just rushed in frantically darted out, smoke pouring from his body and his face pale with horror.

Seeing this, Han Yi on the periphery finally understood why so many cultivators had gathered here, and why there were still so many fruits on the Spirit Tree.

This Void Thunder Spirit Tree had evolved a Thunder Realm around it.
