Easy Going, the Nether Fruit Appears
As soon as Luo Feng entered the Nether Mountain, he felt a terrifying pressure emanating from it. However, it only lasted for a moment. Once he recovered, Luo Feng had become accustomed to this terrifying pressure. As Paragon expert, he possessed the Willpower, so this pressure naturally did not have much effect on Luo Feng.
The Nether Mountain was covered with abundant vegetation and trees, and the white mist completely enveloped its surface. At the outermost edge of the white mist were the Heaven and Earth Chains. The power of those endless lightning chains did not interest Luo Feng at all. Luo Feng charged recklessly and soon arrived at the Grey Mist Zone.
The 'gray fog' in this Grey Mist Zone is a special kind of energy. If a soul slows down and its strength weakens, it will be trapped in an endless illusion within the Grey Mist Zone! At that time, it will not distinguish between friend and foe, and will continue to kill... and will never be able to get out of this Grey Mist Zone, forever trapped in the illusion. As for those who do not even have the strength of a commander, Luo Feng has no interest in them at all. With Luo Feng's strength, dealing with them is a one-sided massacre.
Several cyan phantoms darted through the Grey Mist Zone forests of Nether Mountain. Finally, the phantoms merged together and vanished, revealing a handsome young man. Luo Feng sniffed the air and smelled a very peculiar, refreshing scent. Inhaling it, he felt his mind clear, and even the gray mist that had been affecting his soul dissipated considerably.
Luo Feng strode forward, and after advancing about a hundred meters, he noticed that the surrounding gray mist had completely dissipated. "Is that the Nether Fruit Tree?" Luo Feng couldn't help but look towards the open center ahead, where there stood a low, large tree with extremely lush branches.
The tree is short, with a trunk that requires two people to encircle, and the entire tree is less than thirty meters tall.
However, this tree has millions of branches, each one or two hundred meters long, and many twigs extend from these extremely long branches. This results in... this short tree covering an area of several hundred meters in front of it.
Luo Feng's eyes narrowed; he had finally spotted his target.
On a large branch above the canopy of that low-lying tree, nestled among the leaves, lay a fruit slightly larger than a fist. The fruit was nearly spherical, with a purple skin, its surface translucent and shimmering, quite dazzling. A faint mist emanated from it.
"Such a refreshing scent." Luo Feng took a deep breath, his mind becoming clearer and his soul feeling incredibly comfortable. "This... is the Nether Fruit?"
Luo Feng's purpose for this trip was to obtain the Nether Fruit. To be honest, ever since reading the original novel, Luo Feng had been very curious about just how miraculous the Nether Fruit was. Why could it allow someone to make rapid progress and become a powerhouse comparable to a Lord-level expert? This was Luo Feng's purpose in coming to the Netherworld. If it was true, he would do everything he could to obtain a few, so that his Water Element and Lightning Law could also become those of a Lord-level expert.
Luo Feng carefully surveyed his surroundings. Suddenly...
The branches and leaves of the Nether Fruit tree rustled as if blown by the wind, shattering the surrounding silence. At the same time, green energy began to glow on the branches and leaves of the fruit tree, which stretched for hundreds of meters, and gradually...
Small green snakes, each about the size of a palm, formed on the green leaves.
Luo Feng narrowed his eyes. This should be the appetizer for the appearance of the Guard Snake Spirit. Luo Feng smiled. He knew that this Snake Spirit had an excellent relationship with the Sovereign of Death. He could take it by force, but that would offend the Sovereign of Death. Therefore, Luo Feng did not intend to do so. He was not that silly boy, Bebe, who would use his innate Innate Divine Ability, God-Eater, on people at the drop of a hat.
A giant green snake, as thick as an arm and nearly ten meters long, slowly emerged from the trunk of the fruit tree. The green snake coiled around the trunk, its head raised, its cold, purple eyes scanning Luo Feng in the distance.
Having read the original novel Luo Feng was familiar with the strength of these Guard Snake Spirit and their parents. If Luo Feng wanted to kill them, it would be extremely easy. However, their parents had a good relationship with the Overgod, so although Luo Feng disliked the arrogance of these snakes, he would not kill them directly. In any case, as long as they did not provoke Luo Feng Luo Feng, what did their arrogance have to do with him?
Knowing that a Guard Snake Spirit was hidden on the branches of the Nether Fruit Tree, Luo Feng didn't care. It was at most Seven Star Fiend; what could it do to him? Since they didn't have Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact, Luo Feng was prepared to use a soul attack.
Standing in mid-air, Luo Feng Luo Feng elegantly cross-legged in the void, with a magnificent ancient zither placed across his legs.
Gently stroking the body of the zither, Luo Feng took a deep breath, and his slender fingers began to move smoothly across the instrument. Accompanied by the zither, a melodious yet somewhat sorrowful song slowly flowed out.
The Vocal Music echoed endlessly in the minds of the green snake and the tree trunk of the Nether Fruit Tree. This Vocal Music seemed to possess a strange magic; the green snake, upon first hearing Vocal Music, could only resist for a second or two before being completely captivated by the music and the beautiful scene Luo Feng had created for it, unable to extricate itself.
Logically speaking...
In a dazed state, it has almost no resistance and would usually die from a soul attack by Paragon High-God. However, Luo Feng merely drew the green snake into his mind and did not kill it. Otherwise, the green snake would have been killed by Luo Feng by now.
Luo Feng smiled, seeing the green snake immersed in the beautiful music, and remained silent, continuing to fly his fingers, without losing any feeling or charm, as he continued his final performance. He was completely focused until the very last note, his body and mind completely absorbed in the music.
Finally, the green snake slowly opened its eyes, only to see Luo Feng smiling at it. The green snake broke out in a cold sweat. "Such strong soul cultivation! And I don't have Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact, so I'll definitely be affected. But I'm not dead. It seems he didn't attack." The green snake understood that it didn't have Soul Defense Sovereign Artifact, so killing it would be no difficult task for the other party.
Looking back, one could see that the Nether Fruit on a large branch above the canopy of the low tree had been removed, indicating that the person had obtained the Nether Fruit Tree.
A clear, eerie voice came from the mouth of the green snake that was staring intently at Luo Feng: "Your strength is formidable. I am the Guard Snake Spirit of this Nether Fruit Tree. My name is Tina. What was that music just now? Why was it so beautiful?"
Overjoyed to have obtained the Nether Fruit Tree, Luo Feng stood gracefully in mid-air, smiling calmly as he said, "This is a guqin (a seven-stringed zither). I enjoy playing it in my spare time."
Tina's voice sounded particularly sinister, "You have obtained the Nether Fruit Tree. You can now become the Overgod Emissary of our great Sovereign of Death. Wait here for a while, and someone will come to pick you up."
Luo Feng shrugged casually and laughed, "I didn't want to become Overgod Emissary; I just wanted this Nether Fruit. Alright, now that I've achieved my goal, I'll be going."
The green snake Tina, for reasons unknown, simply wouldn't let Luo Feng leave. Luo Feng Luo Feng was helpless; he couldn't kill her, and she wouldn't let him go. For a moment, the two were locked in a tense standoff.
Because the Nether Fruit Tree had left, gray mist once again enveloped the area. Suddenly, a figure vaguely appeared in the gray mist not far away, and in an instant, the figure arrived. The person was very thin but tall, with long, flowing silver hair, and eyes like an eagle's swept over Luo Feng, saying with a faint smile, "Friend, congratulations on obtaining the Nether Fruit! Now come with me to see the Sovereign Palace and await the Overgod's summons. Tina, we'll be leaving now?"
Luo Feng was helpless. He knew he couldn't leave now. The Sovereign of Death already knew he had obtained the Nether Fruit. Since he had ordered him to go to the Sovereign Palace, how could he dare to leave? He could only obediently follow Asers. However, he glared at Tina. It was all because of this girl, otherwise he would have left long ago.
Tina, however, smiled nonchalantly. But when she heard that Asers was going to take Luo Feng away, she immediately objected, saying, "This guy hasn't taught me to play the piano yet! I'll go to the Overgod with you!"
Asers glanced at Luo Feng, feeling a pang of pity, and said, "Alright, Tina, let's go together. The Overgod is waiting." With that, Asers, Luo Feng, and Tina, who was wrapped around Luo Feng's arm, flew away together.
