The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 265: The Purple Creation Fruit!

In a matter of moments, Ling Feng effortlessly made his way into the nest of the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python without encountering any hindrances.

Surrounding the nest lay a dense poisonous mist, which was a lethal hazard for ordinary martial practitioners; any inadvertent inhalation of this mist could lead to a swift and agonizing demise.

Even with the protective shield of true qi, enduring in such an environment for an extended period would prove challenging.

However, for Ling Feng, this toxic haze was inconsequential.

Having extensively studied various herbs over the years, Ling Feng had cultivated a body immune to countless poisons. Thus, the poisonous mist posed no threat to him whatsoever.

The lair of the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python was shrouded in darkness and dampness.

Ling Feng wasted no time and pressed deeper into the lair through its passages. Finally, after rounding a corner, he beheld a purple glow that was illuminating a section of the cavern and infusing the surroundings with an aura of mystery.

"That must be the celestial fruit guarded by the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python!" Ling Feng thought as his heart quickened with excitement. Perched on his shoulder, Zifeng stared intently at the purple radiance and exclaimed, "Wow, what a treasure! Good stuff!"

"This seems to be the legendary Purple Creation Fruit!" Ling Feng's eyes lit up. This celestial fruit, whether for direct consumption or alchemy, was a treasured item highly coveted by martial artists.

Following the faint purple glow, Ling Feng stepped closer. He saw a vine, as thick as an arm, winding around the stone wall with a purple fruit about the size of a pear at its top.

The faint purple light mentioned earlier emanated from this fruit. It was clear and transparent, with a lingering fragrance that tantalized the senses and caused mouths to water.

"Indeed, it's a Purple Creation Fruit!"

Ling Feng deeply inhaled its scent. Besides the earthy aroma, the air was filled with the fragrance of the fruit which stirred the seven meridian gates within him.

"Gulp..." Zifeng looked at it, saliva nearly dribbling from its mouth, and was tempted to take a bite. Fortunately, Ling Feng acted swiftly, grabbing Zifeng just in time; otherwise, Zifeng might have eaten it.

"This Purple Creation Fruit is useful to me."

Ling Feng shot Zifeng a glance and bit his lips as he said, "Once we've dealt with that fifth-tier demonic beast, you can absorb its life essence."

"Alright." Zifeng swallowed its saliva. For elemental life forms like Zifeng, this celestial fruit, brimming with potent spiritual energy, held a fatal allure.

With eager anticipation, Ling Feng rubbed his hands together and leaped from the muddy ground to approach the sturdy vine. As he neared it, he marveled at its thickness which was comparable to a human thigh, and observed how its roots greedily absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy. It was no wonder such a remarkable Purple Creation Fruit could flourish here.

"Wow, this must be at least eight hundred years old."

Ling Feng took a deep breath. This Purple Creation Fruit had a hint of faint redness, indicating it was almost ripe.

The Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python must've waited patiently for eight centuries, watching as its precious treasure was about to ripen, only for Ling Feng to snatch it away effortlessly.

If the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python could speak, it would surely roar in frustration: "What the fuck!?"

"Another jackpot!" Ling Feng exclaimed. He glanced down at the ground and spotted a small puddle filled with a pool of pale purple liquid. This was the Purple Spirit Liquid secreted during the growth process of the Purple Creation Fruit.

This Purple Spirit Liquid certainly played a crucial role in the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python's evolution to the fifth tier.

Ling Feng scooped up some of the slightly viscous Purple Spirit Liquid, its tempting fragrance wafting through the air. Laden with immense spiritual energy, it promised direct enhancement to one's cultivation.

"Haha, what a fortune!"

Ling Feng scooped up a handful of Purple Spirit Liquid and gulped it down. He immediately felt a gentle warmth spreading through his body as the spiritual energy circulated within, as if it were poised to break through his eighth meridian gate.

"This kind of treasure shouldn't be left behind!"

He then took out all the bottles and containers he carried, filling them with the Purple Spirit Liquid from the pool. Unable to take everything, he and Zifeng drank the remaining liquid together, ensuring not a single drop went to waste. Satisfied, Ling Feng then turned his gaze to the Purple Creation Fruit.

Ling Feng considered, "If I can transplant this into Elder Yan's medicinal herb garden, I'll be able to refine it into very potent medicinal pills once it's fully ripe."

With swift precision, he drew the Eradicator of Realms and sliced through the soil, carefully excavating the root system of the Purple Creation Fruit. He removed large amounts of soil, storing everything in his storage spirit ring.

He was confident that transplanting the fruit within a few days would ensure its continued growth.

Even if luck wasn't on his side, he could always eat the fruit without much loss.

"Hahaha! This feels great!"

Ling Feng uprooted the Purple Creation Fruit, ensuring he left nothing valuable behind, before departing contentedly.

With just the Purple Spirit Liquid, he could definitely reach the tenth level of Pulse Formation Realm and open ten meridian gates within a short period of time!

When that happened, he would return to deal with the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python, take its demonic core, and claim his share of the final mysterious reward!

Following the steep cliff, Ling Feng retraced his steps and found a secluded cave to begin intensive cultivation using the Purple Spirit Liquid!

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"Damn it!"

The two sky-tier students, thoroughly duped by Ling Feng, found themselves relentlessly pursued by the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python. After several close encounters, they emerged bloodied and battered, their clothes torn to shreds. It appeared that they narrowly escaped death at the hands of the fearsome beast.

"If I ever find out who threw that stone, I'll strip their skin off and tear out their tendons!" The dark-faced man on the left bellowed furiously.

"Brother Lei, that demonic beast is formidable. It's best if we split up and hope for the best with this pursuit." The other sky-tier student clenched his teeth.

"We have no other option, Brother Wang. Farewell, and may luck be with you!"

After saying this, however, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and in the next moment, he struck out his palm toward the man surnamed Wang.

Though Lei's motion seemed gentle, it propelled Wang towards the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python.

"Lei Lingyun, how dare you use such despicable tactics!?"

Wang bellowed, realizing that he was on the brink of being devoured by the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python.

Fortunately, Wang was no ordinary person either. He immediately changed his position, striking his sword at the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python and then fleeing in the opposite direction.

Feeling the pain, the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python roared and chased after Wang.

"Hehe, Wang, enjoy your game of tag with the Sky-Swallowing Dragon Python! Hahaha!" Lei Lingyun chuckled heartily.

It appeared that this individual was none other than Lei Lingyun, the sworn big brother mentioned by He Zhongjie!
