Chapter 991: The Cause of the Carnage, The ninth-level Spiritual Fruit
Editor: Henyee Translations

The roars of the two ninth-level beasts seemed to pierce through the immortal cave abode, and each of their collisions was terrifying, as if intending to destroy everything in existence.

Jiang Chengxuan had no doubt that if this battle were to occur outside the immortal cave abode, in the worlds beyond the realm of immortals, it would cause devastating destruction.

Under such power, the foundation of a world could be likened to a thin wall, which could be obliterated with just a few encounters.

The increasingly terrifying noise from the battlefield made Jiang Chengxuan involuntarily hold his breath.

He condensed his perception to its limit, focusing only on the path he had used to arrive. He believed that such noise could likely be detected by most in the immortal cave abode, and it wouldn’t be impossible for others or something else to come and observe.

At such a time, he had to be extremely cautious. The possibility of mishaps must be completely eliminated. That was Jiang Chengxuan’s character.

Thus, at the edge of the ferocious battlefield of the ninth-level beasts, Jiang Chengxuan quietly waited, paying attention to both front and rear directions.

However, after some time, he did not notice anyone else daring to intervene in the battle like him.

After all, any sane person seeing this turmoil would run as far as possible, and even Mahayana Daolords would prefer to act cautiously rather than take unnecessary risks.

Only a new generation cultivator like Jiang Chengxuan, who had the confidence and boldness, would do such a thing. Initially, this was also why Xue Ping chose him to succeed as the master of the Haoran Sect.

Rumble!

Between the battlefield, the clash of the two ninth-level beasts again set off a series of explosions.

In this part of the world, the chaos energy leaking from holes in the void was becoming more prevalent, like a thick layer of dark fog, enveloping the battlefield and adding a terrifying atmosphere to the fight.

Within the dense fog of chaos, the enormous bodies of the two ninth-level beasts appeared intermittently, occasionally with terrifying powers that resonated through the void like thunder.

The fluctuations of the Dao within this area were growing stronger, even causing this part of the world to gradually distort. This signified that the battle between the two ninth-level beasts was becoming more intense and terrifying, possibly even to the point where one of them was getting injured and truly fighting tooth and nail.

Lurking on the edge of the battlefield, Jiang Chengxuan had to activate some of his own rule powers to block the aftermath of the fight.

Fortunately, the chaotic energy that filled the battlefield effectively concealed his presence, preventing him from being detected.

Moreover, the two ninth-level beasts seemed to have completely lost their sanity, attacking and fighting frantically. This was something Jiang Chengxuan had not anticipated.

He had thought that if one of them showed signs of injury, indicating a risk of falling, they might retreat. But the reality was that their battle fluctuations were becoming increasingly outrageous and terrifying.

Under such circumstances, it was certain that one of them was getting injured, yet neither showed any sign of wanting to leave.

This was very rare for ninth-level beasts. Just as Mahayana Daolords rarely decide life and death lightly, unless there was a blockade or a situation of life and death, those who had cultivated to this level of Dao Lords were not likely to fight to the death easily.

But now, these two ninth-level beasts were completely defying this principle.

Jiang Chengxuan’s heart was undoubtedly filled with intense curiosity and shock. What could possibly drive two ninth-level beasts to battle to this extent?

It surely couldn’t be just because they found each other disagreeable. Perhaps there was some life-or-death feud? This possibility was exceedingly slim. Jiang Chengxuan was clear in his mind that there must be something significant here, something so substantial that it would compel Mahayana Daolords and ninth-level beasts to fight to the death to claim it.

At that moment, an angry roar echoed through the air, and an extremely terrifying power suddenly burst forth, plunging the whole world into endless fluctuations. Even Jiang Chengxuan, at the edge, felt a change in color.

In the midst of the dense fog of chaos, a terrifying fluctuation erupted, and then the void turned as tumultuous as boiling, scalding water, with countless black holes and extreme upheavals occurring.

In that instant, Jiang Chengxuan knew what it felt like to be hit by his own reincarnation divine powers; his world seemed completely overturned, with no distinction between up and down.

Space and time were confused by these terrifying fluctuations, as if a giant hole had appeared in the world.

And this was just the aftermath of the explosion from the battlefield; it wasn’t even aimed at Jiang Chengxuan, but the effect was already this terrifying.

This powerful strike was undoubtedly from one of the ninth-level beasts, unleashing a deadly move in a moment of desperation. These ancient creatures had gone berserk!

Their fight intensified to the extreme, each determined to annihilate the other, neither willing to relent until the death.

As the shockwaves from the impact approached, Jiang Chengxuan was forced to manifest a fragment of his Five Elements Reincarnation World to shield himself, taking cover behind a meteorite.

Once the intense chaos subsided, Jiang Chengxuan cautiously re-emerged to observe the situation. The dense fog of chaos did not cease for a moment, continually swirling and billowing, with roars persistently echoing throughout this realm.

Clearly, the battle between the two ninth-level beasts had reached a critical moment, with a monumental climax imminent.

It was then that Jiang Chengxuan suddenly noticed something unusual. Far from the battlefield of the two ninth-level beasts, amidst the storm, a faint glimmer seemed to flicker.

It appeared to be a small fruit tree, bearing fruits that shone like glass, almost ripe for picking.

But the moment Jiang Chengxuan laid eyes on it, his attention was completely captivated. The glass-like fruits on this tree seemed to have an innate, intense attraction to life.

Before noticing it, one might think it was just an ordinary object, barely worth a second glance. But once it caught your attention, you could no longer ignore its presence, its mystique.

It was a natural rule of this fruit tree.

If not for the terrifying commotion caused by the two ninth-level beasts, which even drew in numerous streams of chaotic energy, Jiang Chengxuan might have passed by without ever noticing the tree’s existence.

In that instant, with just one glance, Jiang Chengxuan felt the power contained within those glassy fruits.

The impact of such a fruit, he instantly understood everything about it—the reason for all that was happening here.

This was none other than the legendary ninth-level spiritual fruit, a consumable that could enhance the cultivation of a Mahayana Daolord.
