" Senior Dugu, it seems there's been some trouble with a rare treasure in the forest."
Jiang Zhexian turned her gaze and stared at Xiao Deva Path.
Xiao Tian gazed into the distance. According to his full-map cheat, a brown cursor dot, obscured by the shadows of dark mist, appeared where the light soared into the sky.
This indicates that a boss's territory has appeared.
"Personally, I wouldn't mind going there; it's too dangerous."
The level of danger indicated by the brown marker can be differentiated by several levels: dim, faint, luminous, and dazzling.
Based on the intensity of the brown cursor's light there, it was considered to be at the luminous level. According to Xiao Tian's experience, this level of danger was comparable to the Shackle Realm.
Currently, judging from the Jiang Family's combat strength, even if they use all their methods, they still can't do anything to Beast King at the Shackle Realm.
It's tantamount to going to one's death.
" Senior Dugu, have you discovered something?" Jiang Zhexian didn't take Xiao Tian's words seriously. Since they had come to Kunlun, what danger were they afraid of? The Evolutionary Sacred Fruit and various rare treasures were the goals of their Jiang Family and many other Evolver organizations.
The path of evolution is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind. If you become afraid, timid, or retreat, you will never be able to move forward again.
"I've given you the reminders you needed to. If you insist on going, little girl, I won't stop you." Xiao Tian said calmly, putting on an air of superiority.
"Would you like to travel with us, senior? If not, please take your leave now."
Zhao Fu frowned, wondering why the young lady's words were so radical and impolite. After all, Senior Dugu was their savior.
"Little girl, don't provoke me. I'll leave right now." Xiao Tian almost laughed out loud. He could see that Jiang Zhexian was arrogant and her eyes showed a wary and cold look towards him. He didn't want to put his warm backside in a cold face.
" Senior Dugu." Zhao Fu changed.
" Xiao Zhao, no need to see me off. Thank you for the ride and the food."
Xiao Tian floated along, his steps seemingly slow, yet he moved with the grace of a celestial being, disappearing in the opposite direction in the blink of an eye before Jiang Zhexian, Zhao Fu, and the others.
"Young Miss, oh..."
" Zhao Fu, there's no need to say more. Although Senior Dugu is incredibly skilled, keeping him in our team would do more harm than good. Let's clear the way."
"But Senior Dugu also gifted us a Quasi-King Level tiger demon tail, which is a very valuable gift," Zhao Fu sighed.
" Zhao Fu, you don't need to say anything more. I'm only thinking of the family. This person's origins and motives are unknown. Don't let this gift cloud your judgment," Jiang Zhexian said coldly.
"Yes, Miss." Zhao Fu disagreed inwardly, but due to their different social statuses, he dared not argue further.
After leaving, Xiao Tian used the full-map cheat to return to the old place and headed towards the place where the treasure light soared into the sky.
" Fengzi, Fatty and the others have arrived there too, but it's inconvenient for them to meet."
Xiao Tian took out a mask and put it on his face. The mask's edges emitted a faint colorful light and were inlaid with exotic beast feathers.
This feather was what Xiao Tian had collected at the bottom of the valley. When he hadn't encountered the Bodhi Group again on his way here, he casually gathered some materials and made a mask to deceive others.
This mask also Purification the air, creating a half-meter barrier around the body that isolates it from pollution, leaving one feeling refreshed and invigorated.
The appearance of the extraordinary treasure attracted many Evolver and mutated creatures from the vicinity. Some powerful creatures even began to fight for it, their aura as vast as the ocean and as powerful as thunder, causing the Evolver and powerful creatures who arrived later to be afraid and watch without taking any action.
Jiang Zhexian arrived with his family members and, through an advanced telescope, discovered the full extent of the extraordinary treasure.
It was a God Tree that was not tall, but it was lush and verdant, constantly emitting a rainbow of light. Its main trunk burst forth with a soaring radiance. One of its thick branches flowed like blood, with colorful light spots shimmering. It was covered with seven-colored petals, and at its heart was a golden pearl the size of a thumb. The pearl seemed to contain the universe, and anyone who looked at it could understand their past and present lives and grow in their own realm.
Jiang Zhexian horrified. Observing the golden pearl through the telescope, her mind went blank as she saw an unknown, mysterious, yet familiar scene.
The sky was cracking, dripping with seven-colored divine blood. The blood fell to the earth like a divine mountain, plunging the land into ruin and causing the world to collapse. In the apocalypse, a woman with similar appearance and figure, but with an even more peerless and elegant temperament, held a golden jade lotus in her hand and burst out of the crack in the sky.
Why am I seeing these things?
"What's going on! Why am I seeing myself as a dog?!" Someone in the Jiang Family group cried out in anger.
"Damn it! What kind of demon dares to deceive us with Genjutsu?"
Jiang Zhexian held a telescope, and with a glance, the image in his mind vanished instantly. When his gaze returned to the golden pearl, his mind was once again filled with shock.
"It's the demon pearl!"
Jiang Zhexian was horrified and didn't look any longer.
Near the treasure, two terrifying creatures were engaged in fierce combat. One Armored Crocodile covered in thorns, with an incredibly exaggerated size comparable to a small mountain, and a ferocious head that resembled a dragon's head.
One of them was covered in blood-red fur, strange and beautiful, and was a smaller version of the Mountain-Shaking Tiger.
With a roar like thunder, this Blood Tiger, though far smaller than the Armored Crocodile, was exceptionally ferocious and powerful. Its eyes could unleash crimson lasers that could pierce through the Armored Crocodile's black, gilded scales, causing blood to gush out.
The Armored Crocodile was no weakling either. With its enormous body and exceptionally agile attack, its lightning-whipped tail, wreathed in black light, frequently lashed out at the Blood Tiger, causing the Blood Tiger to cough up blood continuously.
The battle between the two powerful creatures shook the earth, and the energy impact created a hurricane. The scene was so exaggerated that it was heart-pounding and made one's scalp tingle.
"These two creatures are Quasi-King Level; it will indeed be difficult to obtain that rare treasure." Jiang Zhexian frowned.
She had a strong urge to possess that golden orb. Just a glance at it revealed incomprehensible things to her; she wondered what effects closer contact or refining it would have.
"Is the woman in my mind's image me? What's going on?"
"Young Miss, the people from the Ancient God Biological Gene Group have arrived as well."
Jiang Zhexian's gaze swept over, and there stood the most powerful and representative Evolver King Kong, of the Ancient God Biological Gene Group, though few could recognize him.
King Kong has bronze skin and was originally a practitioner of external martial arts. Due to the changes in the world, he consumed a sacred fruit, which transformed him. It is said that he also obtained extraordinary divine powers from the sacred fruit. When these powers are unleashed, Quasi-King Level creatures can withstand them.
"Even King Kong is here. I wonder when our family member will arrive?" Jiang Zhexian frowned.
At the Ancient God Biological Gene Group, King Kong was resting with his eyes closed. Apart from being a bit muscular, he didn't seem particularly remarkable.
"My lord, those two Quasi-King Level beings are both seriously injured. The Jiang Family family has also arrived, but we haven't seen any threatening enemies. When will you make your move, my lord?"
"The time is not right." King Kong didn't even lift an eyelid.
To the north, a large force marched in, including trucks, armored vehicles, and even fire wagons.
" The Alien Research Group has also arrived."
Many Evolver were shocked, taken aback by the way the Alien Research Group made their appearance.
"No wonder they're so wealthy and powerful!"
Many Evolver expressed their envy, their eyes widening in disbelief.
" Team Leader Lu, these two Quasi-King Level creatures have been fighting for a long time, and both are seriously injured. Currently, the Bodhi Group, the Ancient God Biological Gene Group, and even some powerful Evolver organizations are present. Let's continue to observe."
Team Leader Lu, holding binoculars, scanned the surroundings and said, " The King Kong is here too. I wonder if the official Golden-Winged Celestial will arrive soon."
"Team leader, then we need to wait for the right opportunity. It's rumored that the King Kong and the Golden-Winged Celestial are capable of fighting against Quasi-King Level."
"Yes, that's right, they shouldn't be underestimated. Our group relies on more advanced equipment, but we are somewhat weak in terms of Evolver."
As more and more Evolver organizations, independent individuals, and powerful creatures arrived, the fierce Armored Crocodile and the Blood Tiger came to a halt.
They're not stupid; if the fighting continues, both sides will become stepping stones.
The two Quasi-King Level creatures separated in perfect unison and fled in opposite directions.
"Two Quasi-King Level creatures escaped! They're really cunning! What should we do now? Will the Ancient God Biological Group or the Bodhi Group intervene?"
Some of the Evolver revealed excitement in their eyes, their gazes lingering between the three major groups.
Ten minutes passed slowly, and no one dared to make a move to seize the treasure.
At this moment, a powerful three-eyed bull monster, unable to resist the temptation, charged towards the God Tree, intending to seize the treasure.
The golden pearl allowed it to glimpse its past and present, revealing that it was once the Goat Power Demon Ancestor Yangli.
The golden orb can help it regain its past life memories and reclaim its lost, vast and mighty magical power.
Bang!
The three-eyed bull monster approached the area of the seven-colored light of the God Tree, and as if it had crashed into the heavens, its horns broke off, blood gushed out, and it collapsed to the ground, dazed and confused.
Many Evolver and powerful creatures were dumbfounded.
Soon, an even more horrifying scene unfolded: the golden orb emitted an eerie, ghostly light, devouring the life essence of the three-eyed bull monster lying unconscious nearby. In the blink of an eye, the three-eyed bull monster was reduced to a skeleton.
"How terrifying! What an evil jewel!"
Suddenly, a human wearing a Tiga Ultraman Tiga mask with feather trim appeared.
"Holy crap! Who is this fellow Daoist! They're so capable!" The Evolver who knew about Ultraman were all stunned.
"My inner chuunibyou has Awakening! This is so exciting!"
"Who is this guy? Is he also going to court death to get that precious pearl?"
