Chapter 440 - Innocent Soul Fruit Tree (1/2)

Can even the gods' corpses be affected by the Six Paths Reincarnation?

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er had finally lost god's corpse, and they relaxed their pace. Zhong Yue then noticed something, and he focused in on it with his senses. He found that there was an inexplicable energy in these Returning Ruins, a unique form of energy that existed in no place other than here. Perhaps, it was the residual energy of the Six Paths Reincarnation?

The Qi Practitioners also had six secret realms, are there any relations between them and the Six Paths Reincarnation?

Zhong Yue then surged out his six Yuan Shen secret realms and morphed them to resemble the Six Paths Reincarnation. Immediately, Zhong Yue could feel the inexplicable energy seeping into his body, faintly flowing into his Six Paths Reincarnation!

He quickly checked his Yuan Shen secret realms and found nothing odd. He then looked at his own cultivation base to see no changes there either.

But the inexplicable energy was still flowing into his body, even without him trying to actively absorb it. He couldn't even stop his body from absorbing it even if he wanted to!

What are the powers of the Six Paths Reincarnation? Where did they go, and what did they do?

Zhong Yue peered into his body and searched every corner of his six secret realms, but he still couldn't find a thing at all. Suddenly, a cold chill shivered his body, and he thought, Please tell me I'm not going to turn into that god's skeleton?

His hair bristled up and his scalp tingled. The god's skeleton was clearly affected by the Six Paths' energy, and that was how it turned into a moving skeleton, neither dead nor alive.

Furthermore, the god's skeleton now was definitely not the same as the live god he was before!

This meant that something evil had spawned within the god's skeletal frame and occupied it!

With the Six Paths energy also seeping into Zhong Yue's body, would the same thing happen to him?

Zhong Yue's brow raised in anxiety, but there was nothing he could do to stop the Six Paths energy from entering his body.

He calmed himself down and thought, My top priority now is still the divine herbs! If I can bring them back to the Swords Gate, we will have humanity some capital to stand on its own feet! As for the Six Paths energy, I can't do anything to it now.

The two humans rushed forward, Zhong Yue could see the godly rays from the divine herbs entering his visions. It was not far from them.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er raised their speed and rushed toward the godly rays. Meanwhile, he failed to realize that in his Dao Yi Secret Realm, the Pan Gu God suddenly moved. His hands were moving like two agile butterflies, making a hand seal and instantly, the Six Paths energy surged into Zhong Yue's body, seeped through his Dao Yi Secret Realm and entered the Pan Gu God's body!

This Pan Gu God was the product of reverse-opening the five secret realms; he was a manifestation of the legendary figure who broke through the void and chaos to create the universe. Ever since his emergence, Zhong Yue was never able to trigger him to move a single hair before. It only sat as still as a rock no matter what Zhong Yue did.

But now, the Pan Gu God moved. He even made a mysterious hand seal and attracted even more Six Paths energy to him!

However, Zhong Yue was oblivious to all of this. He had arrived at the divine herb's location. It was at the bottom of a valley where a god's skeletal frame has sitting.

They could clearly see the godly rays emanated by the divine herb. It grew in the skeleton's empty eye socket and was 30-feet tall, with many eye-like fruits dangling on the stems.

There was a total of hundreds of fruits, all glimmering with rays. The lights' brightness undulated like continuously blinking eyes!

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er sucked in a deep breath of air as a thought flashed across their minds — this divine herb that grew in the god's eye socket, was it nurtured by siphoning the nutrients in the god's corpse?!

If the divine herb fully absorbed all the nutrients and energies in the god's corpse, just how strong would it be?

"No wonder there are so many matured fruits! A god's full power, of course it would bear a lot of fruits!"

Their hearts pounded heavily, and they couldn't hold back anymore as they took a step forward. Just as they were moving toward the divine herb, Xin Huo suddenly said in Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, "This is an Innocent Soul Fruit Tree, the fruits are called Innocent Soul Fruits. They are not fit for consumption."

"It can't be consumed?"

Zhong Yue was startled as he carefully gazed at the fruit tree. It emanated an alluring radiance and effused a pleasant fragrance, evoking a comfortable and warm sensation within him. It didn't look malicious at all like how Xin Huo had just described it.

"The Innocent Soul Fruit harbors enmity toward anyone who wrongfully eats it. That's how it got the Innocent in its name. It can only be nurtured by providing it with a corpse."

Xin Huo looked around through Zhong Yue's eyes, and he said, "This is an Innocent Soul Fruit nurtured by a god's corpse, there is no doubt that it can even kill a god. With your strength as it is now, you won't be able to stand a chance!"

Zhong Yue grabbed Qiu Jin'er's arm and was just as he was going to stop her from stepping forward, a sense of danger engulfed his heart. With all his might, he forcefully pulled her backward. Just as they were leaping back, the earth quaked, and dozens of stone shards shot up from their previous location on the ground.

If they were just a split second slower, they would have been impaled to death by the stone shards!

Then, a voice could be heard shouting, "Force of the heaven and earth, Avatar!"

Krong——

Immediately, the heaven and earth's power surged out and formed the faint figure of a celestial being, slamming its hand down at Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er!

In the Returning Ruins, all of the skills and arcane energies were heavily repressed, even Zhong Yue could only cast out a 16 feet tall Yuan Shen, and that was already his limit in the Heavenly Dharma level.

Yet, the attacker could utilize the power of the heaven and earth to summon a 1000-foot tall Avatar. It was truly amazing!

Force of the heaven and earth? Using the powers of heaven and earth to cast the Avatar, how is something like that done?

A thought flashed across Zhong Yue's mind. He had been in the Heavenly Dharma level for a few months' time, but his attainments pertaining to it were still shallow.

There were indeed many Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners he had met in Ancestral Star, but none could utilize the power of the heaven and earth!

While even on the Nacre Lake Cloud Stage, there were also none that could do it!

This attacker, he must be the disciple of a Kun Lun god, one of those that they call young gods! Rays flashed across Zhong Yue's onyx pupils, and he thought, The Kun Lun cultivation heritage is really beyond that of the Ancestral Star!

The 1000-feet high Avatar's strike was imbued with endless power. It felt as if the grand firmament was sent crashing down to the ground. Zhong Yue raised his hand and struck a punch right at the center of the incoming palm.

Krong——
