"It's indeed the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree!"
In the dense forest of the nearby mountain peak, Nangong Luo stared intently at the crimson hill not far away, feeling delighted.
After all this time, it was finally found!
"It truly seems extraordinary, no wonder the third brother rushed over to intercept it!"
Jiang Che looked at the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree, which shimmered with electric light as if made of silver and inwardly praised it.
However, at this moment, the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree was not yet mature. Rather than rushing over, Nangong Luo observed the few nearby beasts of prey, eyes flickering.
"The power of these beasts should have reached the first level. If I go alone, getting the fruit might come at a great cost!"
"Fortunately, the big brother is here with us. With his power, these beasts are not a threat!"
According to the memory of the past lives.
The levels of beasts are divided into nine ranks. The seventh rank, beyond the sixth, is also known as the King Realm, where beasts are called Beast Kings or Demon Kings. The eighth rank is the Emperor Realm, known as Demon Emperor; the ninth rank is the Emperor Realm, where beings are referred to as Demon Emperors!
Beasts that have just undergone blood mist baptism usually have not reached the first level, while those that have will awaken a Talent Ability.
The beasts before them were quite extraordinary, having already reached mid-first level, while Nangong Luo's own cultivation was at the late first level.
As for the big brother's cultivation?
Since the big brother had been defeating first-level beasts effortlessly along the way, Nangong Luo speculated that he might have already reached the second level.
Time passed slowly.
Suddenly, the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree burst with silver light, and the branches and leaves exuded a silver aura so bright it shot into the sky, dyeing the clouds, and the entire sky was bathed in silver glory, even overshadowing the sun.
Rumble!
Suddenly, clouds surged, changing form, and strong winds arose. Black clouds began to gather, pressing down on the mountain, with lightning dancing and thunder roaring within.
Gradually, the thunder in the sky became more intense, the black clouds forming a massive whirlpool, with purple lightning swirling inside, continually accumulating.
Boom!
With a blinding flash illuminating the world, a colossal boom sounded in the sky. A gigantic pillar of purple lightning descended from the vortex, striking the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree.
Lightning leaped, and purple light swept over the surrounding mountains. Endless lightning threads intertwined, running through the body of the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree, sparking and crackling.
With the aid of heavenly thunder, the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree finally began to ripen!
Its originally silver trunk gradually turned purple, transforming into a purple jade ancient pine. The raging lightning threads flowed along the trunk towards the three Thunder Spirit Fruits.
Crackle!
The Thunder Spirit Fruit shuddered, maturing slowly under the nourishing lightning threads, turning into a purple fruit with a lightning-laced surface that emanated layers of purple aura.
As the fruit matured, the thunder in the sky dissipated, and the sunlight that had been covered was once again cast down.
Staring at the Thunder Spirit Fruit glowing with purple spiritual light and exuding a rich fragrance, the eyes of the four beasts flashed with greed.
Then they turned to each other, the air of hostility enveloping them, eyes filled with primal killing intent.
"Roar!"
The giant yellow tiger roared, intimidating the other three beasts.
"Screech!"
The golden divine eagle called out fearlessly, spreading its shining golden wings, ready to attack the giant tiger.
The white Wolf King flared with greater intensity, flames engulfing its body, charging directly towards the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree.
Slash!
The golden divine eagle flapped its golden wings, swiftly swooping down, with the golden spiritual light on its body forming three golden tail feathers, small but extraordinarily sharp.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, the three feathers transformed into three golden streaks, shooting towards the charging white wolf.
The white Wolf King halted its advance, body flickering as it quickly dodged the three golden feather attacks, roaring angrily while its flames surged, forming a huge crimson fire whip.
Whoosh!
The fiery whip extended in the air, whipping towards the golden divine eagle in the sky with a whooshing wind sound.
Facing the danger, the golden divine eagle pivoted abruptly in flight, narrowly dodging the fiery whip.
Screech!
The golden divine eagle's sharp eyes locked onto the Wolf King, letting out an angry screech, with massive golden wings flapping and stirring up gusts of wind.
Quickly diving downwards, its sturdy talons extended, glittering sharply, aiming to seize the white Wolf King.
The golden divine eagle moved astonishingly fast, approaching before the white Wolf King could retract its fiery whip.
In a flash, the golden talons raked across the white Wolf King's back, tearing open its snowy fur, creating long wounds.
The wounds stretched from the Wolf King's chest to its waist, deep enough to expose bone, and within moments, fountains of blood sprayed from the lacerations.
Howl!
The white Wolf King let out a piercing wail, furious at the golden divine eagle, its once-clear eyes now turning red, bursting with energy.
The connected fiery whip suddenly brightened, instantly splitting into six arm-thick fiery whips, blazing and sparking fiercely.
The six fiery whips churned in the air, dazzling with firelight, attacking the golden divine eagle as it continuously dived, while the golden divine eagle did not relent, flickering in the air, dodging skillfully yet still struck by the whips.
Thud!
The fire whip lashed against the chest of the golden eagle, sending it flying back with great force. The eagle let out a painful cry, frantically flapping its wings in the air to stabilize itself.
At this moment, there was already a depression on its chest, flesh and blood mangled, charred black, with golden beak dripping blood continuously.
However, the severely injured golden eagle did not give up, eyes fierce, it gathered three golden feathers and once again dived toward the Wolf King.
The fierce battle between the two dire beasts happened in just a split second.
The yellow giant tiger seized the opportunity, rushing towards the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree, almost reaching the Thunder Spirit Fruit.
Roar!
In the distance, the giant bear narrowed its eyes, shining with a divine light, suddenly let out an angry roar and started running towards the yellow tiger, full of momentum and extremely ferocious.
The yellow tiger was affected, it could only turn to counterattack, the earthy yellow spiritual light on its body solidified instantly, transforming into an earthy yellow rock armor that enveloped its body.
"Roar!"
With an explosive tiger roar, it charged towards the giant bear.
But before the yellow tiger could approach, the giant bear suddenly stopped, a look of smugness flickered in its eyes, and its broad paw, glowing with yellow light, slapped the ground.
Boom!
A massive rock pillar burst from the earth, directly sending the sprinting yellow tiger flying away.
Thud!
Although the yellow tiger had the rock armor for protection and was not severely injured, the fall still left it dazed.
Staggering to its feet, the yellow tiger shook its head to clear its mind, eyes filled with murderous intent, extending sharp tiger claws, its shape flickered, transforming into a yellow light to attack the giant bear.
Unfortunately, before it could get far, the yellow tiger was again sent flying by another rock pillar, crashing heavily onto the ground.
The giant bear stood there unmoving, its eyes full of mockery.
"Is this the Thunderous Roar of the past life?"
Nangong Luo thought silently as he watched the giant bear toying with the yellow tiger.
The strength showcased by this giant bear was already approaching the late stage of the first tier.
It was not only the strongest among the four dire beasts but also very cunning.
It did not choose to engage in a life-and-death fight with the yellow tiger, revealing its full strength. Instead, it sought to delay.
It must be thinking of waiting until the white wolf and the eagle had settled their battle, then striking at the right moment, reaping the benefits while eliminating the possibility of the three beasts joining forces against it.
Soon after, both the Wolf King and the eagle were indeed severely injured.
The Wolf King lay on the ground, gasping for breath, body heaving, with wounds flipping open along its back, bleeding continuously, dyeing its body red.
On its face, there was also a long blood gash running across the eye socket, causing the eyeball to shrink, making the eye socket look like a bloody hole.
The eagle also landed at this moment, entirely charred, its chest flesh mangled, its right wing drooping with a white broken bone protruding from the flesh, and it let out a series of mournful cries.
Upon seeing the two beasts' tragic state, the giant bear's eyes lit up and it no longer feigned. It exerted its full strength, with multiple sharp rock spikes bursting from the ground, directly shattering the rock armor relied upon by the yellow tiger and piercing several bowl-sized bloody holes in its abdomen.
The yellow tiger fell to the ground, letting out a series of miserable cries, the severe pain from its abdomen causing it to convulse continuously on the ground.
The giant bear let out an excited howl, ignoring the yellow tiger, striding towards the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree.
Just then, Jiang Che and Nangong Luo, who had been secretly approaching, made their move.
Roar!
Jiang Che leaped out directly. Despite his massive form, his speed was astonishing, reaching the giant bear's side in just a few strides.
In the moment of pinning it down, without giving it a chance to react, his Golden Light Claw fiercely pierced the back of the head, easily penetrating the skull, extinguishing the giant bear's vitality.
Immediately, the giant bear's body trembled, uncontrollably shivering a few times before collapsing powerlessly.
Nangong Luo had already rushed to the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree, ready to pick the Thunder Spirit Fruit.
Whoosh!
A golden feather flew over.
The White Wolf, the Eagle, and the Yellow Tiger, dragging their wounded bodies, launched an attack.
Nangong Luo dodged the feather, turning to counterattack, the golden light on his body burst forth, a golden light blade over a meter long shot out, flashing a light beam that split the lead Wolf King in two, the cut smooth as a mirror.
While releasing the golden light blade, Nangong Luo charged at the Eagle, zigzagging across the ground, dodging the incoming golden feathers, his massive tiger body pinned it to the ground, sharp tiger teeth piercing through the bird's neck, forcefully tearing off the eagle's head.
Swoosh!
The golden light blade flew back, killing the slowest yellow tiger.
Thus, all four dire beasts perished here.
The two tigers slowly walked to the Thunder Spirit Fruit Tree.
Jiang Che took a few steps back, letting out a low roar, signaling to Nangong Luo.
He did not intend to consume the Thunder Spirit Fruit, planning to give them all to Nangong Luo to enhance his strength.
"Big brother is really giving them all to me? No way, without big brother, I couldn't possibly get the Thunder Spirit Fruit so easily!"
"Moreover, awakening the Thunder Power only requires one Thunder Spirit Fruit!"
Then, Nangong Luo plucked a Thunder Spirit Fruit, nudging it towards Jiang Che.
"For me? Not bad, not bad, you actually know to share things proactively with big brother!"
Jiang Che was momentarily taken aback, then felt joyful in his heart.
