Chapter 407: Picking Fruit

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Suddenly, a formation emerged out of the Starry Sky. The people were slightly startled because they saw that the tactical formation was formidable. The tactical formation was lightly covered by Hongjun, imperceptible from the outside. Someone had to be very confident to use this formation. It looked like the Blood Asura was out of luck.

Inside the formation, Minghe, who held the Anti-evil Axe, looked at the surprised Blood Asura and said, "Hongjun, let’s save some time. We should destroy him now. The Fruits of Stars of the Origin have ripened, it would be a waste to miss them. Let’s do this quickly." Everything changed fast and they did not have time for the Blood Asura.

"Ah!" Minghe shouted and waved his Anti-evil Axe. The axe, full of destruction and death, hacked toward the Blood Asura. The vital force of the Law of Killing and Law of Blood shone on the blade. This time, Minghe was determined to eliminate the Blood Asura with Hongjun.

As Minghe acted, Hongjun did not hesitate to use his chessboard. He chanted: "The game is set, and everything within it is its piece. Attack!" Just as he finished, many stripes of silver wires emerged out of nowhere and rushed at the Blood Asura. The silver wires were moving eerily and, thus, were hard to ward off.

The Blood Asura finally panicked at the combined attack. Minghe’s axe and Hongjun’s silver wires had made him feel that he was in great danger. He had the same feeling before when facing a life and death situation. However, he was not sure if he could survive this time.

Thus, the Blood Asura could only fight hard. He fetched another Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, which was a bloodied umbrella that was a Low Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. The umbrella covered him and temporarily protected him from the silver wires. Though Hongjun’s attack was parried, Minghe did not stop.

With nowhere to hide, the Blood Asura could only confront his enemy. But he failed to ward off Minghe’s axe with a broken Top Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos and another Low Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. When the axe retracted, the machete had been chipped further. The umbrella also became dark and cracked.

The Blood Asura himself also did not feel good. Without his solid cultivation at the Late Stage of the Fate Realm and the aggressive Divine Laws he had been practicing, he would have been badly injured. He realized he would be worn out to death this way. Only by fighting back could he find a chance to live.

"What?" The Blood Asura gasped, and his countenance changed. The silver wires had coiled around him somehow. He was unable to move and his umbrella had also been broken through. He looked at the two people and discovered that Minghe had retracted the axe as if he had already won.

Minghe looked at the trapped Blood Asura and shook his head. He then closely watched the formation and found that it was not a simple Universal Life and Death Chess. Additionally, it contained the Great Way of the Puppet. The silver wires were avatars of the Law of Puppets, and the Divine Law waves were crystal clear.

Minghe glanced at Hongjun’s chessboard and said, "Hongjun, your chessboard is really amazing. It seals tactical formations and it’s a Magic Weapon refined by the Law of Puppets. It can turn anything into its puppet. I envy you. Alright, let’s finish this in case something happens outside. I don’t want to ruin our plan and waste our time."

Hongjun nodded as he started to refine the Blood Asura into a puppet. He smiled and said, "Don’t be. Your axe is awesome too. It resembles the Pangu Axe a little. You must have collected Evil Spirits from many shattered worlds. You really live up to the Rakshasa name." .

Minghe did not reply. He fetched the Anti-evil Axe, while Hongjun took out his Formation Chessboard. Neither of them knew what each other’s secret weapon was, but undoubtedly they were holding something back. They collaborated, but at the same time, they took necessary precautions. They might have to turn against each other at the final moment.

As the formation disappeared, Minghe and Hongjun revealed themselves. People were surprised that the battle had ended so soon, but actually, they did not have time for that. Hongjun and Minghe could only be threats to them, since all of them wanted the Fruits of Stars of the Origin.

Minghe and Hongjun observed for a while and discovered that the experts and beasts at the Peak of the Fate Realm were already beside the Star Tree of the Origin. They aimed at the two fruits bearing the sun and moon Origin. As for other fruits, they did not even bother to check. Apparently, they only wanted those two.

There were only two fruits, but five humans and 10 beasts were scrambling for them. As one attacked, the others blocked it. Minghe and Hongjun were glad to see that. They had planned to pick the fruits when a deadlock like this happened. However, they only had one shot. If they failed, they would have to leave. Otherwise, they would be the target of the five humans and 10 beasts at the Peak of the Fate Realm. Their fury would not be so easy to handle.

In the heat of the battle, Minghe did not try to pick the two special fruits, but he aimed at the rest. He dashed to pick them, and the others acted as well. Other than the two special ones, there were only 363 fruits. Not every one of the 700 people present could get one.

Minghe held out his hand and a large supernatural-power-formed hand reached out to the Star Tree of the Origin. The hand grabbed and collected four Fruits of Stars of the Origin. Minghe smiled and drew his hand back. He saw four different sized fruits that gave out the mesmerizing vital force of the Origin of Stars.

Minghe’s gain made many people jealous. He had just picked four at once. There were not enough of the Fruits of Stars of the Origin, so people naturally felt annoyed at Minghe’s actions. But no one wanted to mess with him yet. After all, there were still lots of fruits on the tree.

Minghe knew what they thought of him. But he was not afraid, he knew that he could walk away unharmed even without Hongjun. Thus, he had not held back and picked four at once. Moreover, he would not stop there. The Fruits of Stars of the Origin were too precious to miss. He did not know when the next time would be.

Everyone fought for the fruits. What a crazy fight it was! Minghe and Hongjun acted between the fights. The 363 fruits were not enough for everyone. After just a few seconds, there were only two fruits left on the tree. The rest had all been taken.

Minghe had picked twice and gained nine fruits, which was rewarding. The large and dense power of stars and the power of the origin of its stars were really precious. However, Minghe had not decided how to use it yet. "To cultivate, or to blend them into the cosmic stars of the World of Heaven and Earth?" It was a tough call.

Regardless of that, the most important thing to do now was to snatch the final two fruits. Those two were the real deal. But one thing puzzled Minghe. At the time that everyone was snatching, Hongjun was not. He did not even pick one Fruit of Stars of the Origin. "Does Hongjun look down upon the other fruits?"

"But that can’t be." Doubts filled Minghe’s mind. Though they could not compare, the rest of the fruits were still unusual Treasures of Heaven and Earth. The fruits would greatly benefit Hognjun, who was at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm. Hongjun had to have a reason.

Hongjun’s inaction left Minghe full of doubt. He and Hongjun were both born in the Ninth Period, and Hongjun was the incarnation of a Rakshasa. But Minghe did not believe that Hongjun was too powerful to care about the Fruits of Stars of the Origin. Thus, Minghe found it hard to imagine how profound Hongjun was.

"Did Hongjun have his Fated Chance on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons?" It was possible. There indeed were lots of Fated Chances on the battlefield. Even now, there were numerous treasures that were left by the ancestors. You could never tell when a treasure would fall from the sky, making you rich overnight.

Of course, there was another possibility that Hongjun was planning on something greater than the Fruits of Stars of the Origin. "But other than the remaining fruits, there are only fruits of the moon and sun. Apart from that, is it... the Star Tree of the Origin?" A thought struck Minghe. "Does Hongjun want the tree?"
