Meng Lei snorted coldly and shouted, “Ten Thousand Swords Return Home!”
Buzz, buzz!
Dazzling golden light abruptly burst forth from all around Meng Lei. At his call, all the Metal Elements within a few kilometers converged to form swords that circled around him.
“That’s...”
The Lava Dragondile was straight up blinded by the golden light all around it and ended up reacting half a beat too slow.
“Ha!”
Meng Lei’s voice was cold and aloof as he declared, “You damned villain! Today, I shall play the part of the main character in a novel and take out a demon like you! And get rid of evil for the people!”
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Densely packed golden swords turned to point toward the Lava Dragondile. Then, all of them pierced through the air and shot toward it.
Their sheer numbers practically covered the sky and the earth. Their momentum was so strong that even great heroes wouldn’t be any match for them.
“Aaahhhh!”
Amid peculiar-sounding splurts, shrill cries rose and fell in succession.
Whoosh!
The glint of the swords faded, and the golden light vanished.
The Uni-Horned Rose Python hurriedly looked over, upon which a shiver then went through its whole body, and a bone-chilling iciness welled up in its heart. Was that really the Lava Dragondile?
That was clearly just a goddamn pile of minced meat! Even if it had been kicked into an unrecognizable state, surely it wouldn’t have ended up in this sorry state?
“Ding! 1 Lava Dragondile killed. 11.5 billion gold coins gained!”
Chapter 165: Fruit of The Divine Tree, Deification By Religious Faith
“Sir, you’re simply too impressive! My feelings of admiration toward you are endless and eternal, like the gushing rivers. They are like the overflowing Yellow River, beyond control once the floodgates open—”
“Cut the crap. Just drive properly.”
“Drive?”
“...”
Meng Lei was rendered speechless. Then, he asked, “Judging from what that old crocodile said just now, prior to becoming a Saint Domain, you were just a Sixth-Grade Magical Beast?”
“Yes, sir!”
The Uni-Horned Rose Python didn’t dare to keep any secrets from him. It explained, “Ten years ago, I was indeed a Sixth-Grade Rose Python. But because I was lucky enough to get a Tree of Life fruit, I was able to become a Saint Domain Magical Beast.
“I had initially thought that after I became a Saint Domain Magical Beast, I’d be able to become buddies with those old-timer Saint Domain Magical Beasts high up above. Who’d have thought that those guys would still look down on me—”
Meng Lei interrupted Clara’s unceasing torrent of words and asked, “Are you saying that you used only a short ten years to advance from a tiny little Sixth-Grade Magical Beast into a Saint Domain?”
“Yes, sir!” The Uni-Horned Rose Python didn’t quite understand. It asked, “Is there an issue with that?”
Ten years!
It had taken only ten years for a Sixth-Grade Magical Beast to become a Saint Domain!
Wasn’t that totally an issue?
It wasn’t just Meng Lei who was shocked; even Ol’ Amos was astonished by its words. At once, he emerged from the spatial ring and urged him. “Hurry! Meng Lei, ask the python what the Tree of Life is!”
Meng Lei took a deep breath, and then he posed the question to the Uni-Horned Rose Python.
A look of idolization surfaced in Clara’s eyes at once. An expression akin to those of fanatics in relation to the deity they worshiped and believed in also came over its countenance.
“The Tree of Life is the divine tree on this continent. It’s also the spiritual belief of all living things on this continent. Be it plants or animals, everyone and everything worships and believes deeply in the Tree of Life. The Tree of Life protects us eternally!”
“Is the Tree of Life that great?” Meng Lei’s eyes flashed as he asked, “What’s the Tree of Life fruit?”
“The Tree of Life bears fruits once every hundred years. Each time it does, it only bears a total of nine fruits. When the fruits ripen, the Tree of Life will send these nine fruits to various corners of the continent for the living things here to consume.”
With much gratitude, the Uni-Horned Rose Python said, “If you’re lucky enough, you’ll be able to get one. After consuming the fruit, one will gain great power within an extremely short amount of time—just like me.”
“A single fruit has allowed you to take only ten years to become a Saint Domain Magical Beast. That fruit’s effect...”
Meng Lei found this incredible. He asked, “Ol’ President, have you heard of a fruit like that before?”
“Not at all!”
Ol’ Amos took a breath and said, “In Heaven’s Vault Continent, there are also many treasures that can help people to break through their limits and boost their strength, but none of them can compare to an amazing fruit like that.
“That thing is practically even crazier than a Laws of Nature Origin Crystal!”
“Indeed it is!”
Meng Lei nodded heavily. Laws of Nature Origin Crystals contained nature laws within them and could aid a ninth-grade expert in opening the door to laws of nature and helping them attain the Saint Domain realm. However, this was limited to only ninth-grade experts and was ineffective for those below.
However, this was evidently not the case for the fruit.
A Sixth-Grade Magical Beast had become a Saint Domain in ten years.
What was that?
A huge tonic supplement for mass-manufacturing Saint Domains, that’s what it was!
How could Laws of Nature Origin Crystal match up to it?
“I must find it! I must find that divine tree!”
Meng Lei’s eyes were blazing bright with a spectacular outburst of light. “If we can take it for ourselves and sit and wait for the divine tree fruits to come rolling in, we’ll strike gold!”
One divine tree fruit = One Saint Domain!
Just how much was the divine tree worth?
What
