Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Yin Yang Dao Fruit

The beast tide showed no signs of dispersing, and the ground had been trampled into ruin.

’Heh heh, if I devour a few more Demon Beasts, my Cultivation will increase by a good amount!’

Sensing the increase in his Cultivation, Ye Wushuang grinned. Behind his dry, cracked, and bloodstained lips, he revealed two rows of pearly white teeth—a truly chilling sight in this atmosphere.

BOOM!

As he searched for an escape route, Ye Wushuang’s body flickered like a phantom. His hands shot out, savagely grabbing a Demon Beast and tossing it directly into the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!

The Demon Beast shrieked madly, but in the end, it was reduced to a single Beast Essence Pill!

Ye Wushuang was ecstatic, and his figure continued to flicker about.

His Fierce Lion Battle Saber had been blunted in the previous battle, its Inscriptions shattered. It was useless now.

He could only rely on his overbearing fists to carve a path, blasting his way to one side while pulling one Demon Beast after another into the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron to be refined into pure Beast Essence Pills.

In turn, Ye Wushuang’s Cultivation steadily grew stronger.

BOOM!

After some time, a tremor ran through his body. In the midst of this extreme danger, he had broken through to the Qi Vortex Sixth Layer!

His True Qi was replenished, so he no longer had to worry about running out!

However, the Demon Beasts seemed to have gone mad, charging and crashing about wildly. They were packed so densely that they seized the opening created by his breakthrough and sent him flying.

BOOM!

Ye Wushuang’s body slammed into a spotted tiger, pinning it to the ground.

"Fuck!"

Ye Wushuang cursed aloud.

But this had happened countless times before, and he was already used to it. He scrambled to his feet and pulled the spotted tiger from beneath him into the Dragon Blood Divine Cauldron.

Then, he went right back to slaying Demon Beasts.

Soon, Ye Wushuang finally spotted a dense forest to his left.

’The dense forest can help me fend off the Demon Beasts’ charge. I’ll head there first and take shelter,’ Ye Wushuang calculated. The force of this beast tide was simply overwhelming.

If it weren’t for his Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body, which gave him a physical fortitude on par with a Spiritual Artifact, he would have been trampled into a bloody pulp by now.

’But that forest is still a good distance away. I don’t know if I can even make it there alive,’ Ye Wushuang thought with a wry smile. Using his Floating Light and Shadow Body Technique, he began to cut across the beast tide.

This was an act of madness that perhaps only Ye Wushuang would dare attempt.

BOOM!

In the sky, Yunn Xiao was charging toward an Eighth-Level Demon Beast. However, before he reached it, he paused for a moment.

As if he had sensed something, his gaze shifted downward.

He saw a tiny figure amidst the terrifying beast tide, using a profound Body Technique to dash across the bodies of mountain-sized Demon Beasts, heading for the dense forest on the far side.

Even Yunn Xiao was taken aback. After a moment of thought, he raised his sword, and a flash of golden light fiercely slashed downward.

The blade of light was hundreds of feet long and blindingly brilliant. The killing intent of the Sword Dao was terrifying to behold!

BOOM!

The Golden Divine Sword light crashed down, striking the ground directly in front of Ye Wushuang. A deafening explosion erupted, tearing the very earth apart.

SPLAT!

SPLAT!

One Demon Beast after another was torn apart and obliterated, dissolving into a sky-borne mist of blood and gore. The attack carved a long channel straight to the dense forest on the other side.

Ye Wushuang jerked his head up to see the young figure in the sky. He recognized him—it was Yunn Xiao!

"Thank you!"

Ye Wushuang shouted. He hadn’t expected Yunn Xiao to help him at a time like this.

Hearing his cry, Yunn Xiao gave a slight nod. Without another word, he charged toward the Eighth-Level Demon Beast.

Ye Wushuang tore his gaze away, understanding Yunn Xiao’s intention. He seized the opportunity before the path closed and dashed toward the forest.

Behind him, the earth itself seemed to be thrown into the air by the thundering hooves!

Standing in the dense forest, Ye Wushuang panted heavily. If he had been even half a beat slower, he would have perished in the beast tide.

’The beast tide hasn’t retreated yet, so I can’t return to the Ancient Spirit Sect. I need to find a safe place to treat my wounds first. Otherwise, if I run into a powerful Demon Beast, I won’t be able to handle it.’

Ye Wushuang murmured, his gaze fixed on the distant walls of the sect, a cold light flaring in his eyes. ’And that old dog, An Shijie... I didn’t die this time, which means next time, you will.’

With that, Ye Wushuang activated his Floating Light and Shadow Body Technique and began searching the forest for a safe place.

However, he didn’t realize that he was heading deeper and deeper into the Endless Wilderness.

Some time later, he found himself in a secluded valley with cascading waterfalls and lush, shady trees. The air was filled with a profound and mysterious aura.

This aura was incredibly mystical and had a profoundly calming effect.

Drawn by this presence, Ye Wushuang found his way to the spot. He sat down cross-legged behind a large boulder near the waterfall and began to treat his injuries.

With a thought, he retrieved the Earth-Fire Spirit Milk from his True Dragon Space. A terrifying vortex of devouring energy formed in his palm, sucking the milk into his body.

Earth-Fire Spirit Milk possessed miraculous healing properties, comparable in that regard to even a precious Treasure Medicine.

Between the healing of the Earth-Fire Spirit Milk and the absurd regenerative power of his Chaos Heaven-Devouring Dragon Body, his injuries gradually recovered. His wounds scabbed over and peeled away, leaving not a single scar behind.

At the same time, Ye Wushuang circulated the Heaven-Devouring Dragon Technique to repair his internal meridians.

Streams of golden, dragon-shaped energy coiled around the surface of his body before drilling back inside.

An unknown amount of time passed before Ye Wushuang finally opened his eyes. For an instant, two golden, dragon-shaped shadows flickered within his pupils before vanishing.

"Haaaah..."

Ye Wushuang stood up. As he moved, a series of sharp cracks echoed from his body.

’I wonder what time it is. The beast tide should have retreated by now,’ Ye Wushuang muttered to himself, stepping out from behind the boulder.

His injuries were ninety percent healed, and having just broken through to the Qi Vortex Sixth Layer, he was confident he could protect himself if a crisis arose.

After a final glance at the pool at the base of the waterfall, Ye Wushuang prepared to leave.

But just then, a section of a massive body churned the water of the nearby pool, its scales glinting. A fleeting glimpse was enough to make Ye Wushuang gasp.

’A Demon Beast!’

’And an incredibly powerful one at that!’

He instantly made a judgment. ’A Demon Beast whose aura I can’t even sense must be at least on par with the Spiritual Spring Realm!’

At this thought, his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

He had just been sitting right next to a terrifying Demon Beast while recovering from his injuries. ’This... this is just too damn close for comfort!’

If that Demon Beast had discovered him, he would have been killed instantly. There was no doubt about it.

PHEW!

Ye Wushuang breathed a silent sigh of relief. The Demon Beast had to be sleeping. He immediately decided to leave quietly; he was no match for a Spiritual Spring Realm Demon Beast with his current strength.

However, just as he was about to turn away, he suddenly noticed a small, crystalline tree growing beside the pool.

On the small tree grew two fruits: one red and one black.

The two fruits were shrouded in black and white Divine Light, with a Yin and Yang symbol floating above them. They were incredibly mystical. Although encased in a membrane of light, streams of a mysterious aura still seeped out, impossible to contain.

’A Treasure Medicine: the Yin Yang Dao Fruit!’

’This... This is a Yin Yang Dao Fruit on the verge of evolving into an Ancient Medicine King!’

Sensing the profound Dao Charm in the air, Ye Wushuang was utterly stunned.

An Ancient Medicine King was a treasure over one hundred thousand years old, imbued with the Dao Charm of heaven and earth. It was a sentient treasure that even Yin Yang Realm experts would covet, a testament to its immense value.

If he could obtain it, Ye Wushuang was certain it would help him break through several layers of Cultivation. He might even gain other, unimaginable benefits.

At this thought, a fire ignited in Ye Wushuang’s heart.

However, one look at the pool was enough to make him quickly suppress the urge. ’A Heaven-Defying Treasure like this must be what that Spiritual Spring Realm-level Demon Beast is guarding.’

’The moment I try to take the Yin Yang Dao Fruit, that beast will wake up instantly.’

’At that point, even ten of me wouldn’t be enough for it to kill.’

’So tempting!’

His eyes remained glued to the Yin Yang Dao Fruit. He sighed inwardly again and again, envying the creature in the pool that had such a peerless treasure all to itself.
