Fantasy: I'm Really Not A Supreme Master!-Chapter 512 - 462 She is the Last Hope_1
The giant vine shaded the sky and covered the earth, no longer aptly described as a mere vine, but rather akin to a towering ancient tree.
Myriads of vines dangled, each resembling the hanging carcass of a dragon, exuding an alarming aura!
However, that aura was one of deathly stillness, of barren desolation.
This huge vine seemed to reach the heavens, supreme in its stature, but it was… steeped in the pall of death.
The trunk and bark were akin to ash-grey stones, to the extent one might think that this giant vine had fossilized over the ages, no longer a living being!
In the dimness, there even lingered an indescribable, eerie atmosphere within.
"The Ancestral Vine, this is the one the Sacrificial Spirit spoke of!"
Mu Wanqing exclaimed excitedly.
The grape vine of the Wood Spirit Dynasty, which had been brought out from the depths of the Great Wilderness, shared a "blood relation" with the colossal vine before their eyes!
"Rare plants..."
The crystal chip in Zi Ling’s hand glowed with an incomparably strong light.
That signified that the giant vine before them indeed was a rare plant.
"This... it’s too big, how do we dig it out, and how do we bring it back??"
Yun Xi voiced her concern, wondering if the small mountain village could even accommodate such a vine.
"Hmm? No, Sister Zi Ling, look."
At this moment, Mu Wanqing suddenly pointed towards the Old Vine.
Following her finger, they saw that within the branches and leaves of the vine, which seemed dead and fossilized, there was actually a bunch of grapes!
At first glance, the grapes also appeared to be petrified, resembling a string of stone beads.
However, among those stone beads, there was a large, dark purple grape, sparkling and translucent, emitting an incomparable fruity fragrance!
"How is this possible? The entire tree has petrified, yet there’s still one large grape?"
Everyone was astonished.
"I have this feeling, it seems like this grape is the source of the crystal chip’s glow?"
At this point, Zi Ling suddenly spoke.
When she aimed the crystal chip at the large grape, the light from the chip indeed increased by a notch!
"I understand now, this giant vine has indeed died... but that grape represents hope?"
Zi Ling was taken aback.
"Let’s go, we’ll pick it and take it back, the Great Demon King will definitely like to eat grapes."
Yun Xi’s eyes brightened as she moved forward, ready to act.
"Stop!"
But at that moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind!
Turning back, they saw the main force of the Yun Family and the Zhan Family had arrived!
"Stop, this tree belongs to all of us!"
"No one can monopolize it!"
Many voiced their urgency!
This tree was the ultimate marvel of the Secret Realm, symbolizing the unimaginable!
"There, there’s a grape?!"
At the same time, someone in the crowd noticed the grape on the giant vine.
"My god, what Divine Fruit is that? The old tree is nearly fossilized, yet a grape remains immortal?"
"This giant vine must be the Divine Vine, and within that grape, there must be divine substances beyond imagination. If one could eat it, perhaps they’d become a deity on the spot?!"
In that moment, desire blazed in everyone’s eyes.
A fossilized giant vine stretching skyward, with such an undying and mystical fruit, sparked limitless imagination!
Zhan Shaoling saw the Divine Fruit and his eyes filled with insatiable greed!
However, he took a deep breath to maintain his calm and said:
"Yun Xi, the Barrier here is difficult to break, we should join forces to acquire it!"
Yun Xi replied icily, "I’m not interested."
Hearing this, Zhan Shaoling’s expression darkened.
Did the Yun Family really intend to monopolize it?
At that moment, Yun Qin stepped forward, forcefully suppressing the hatred in her heart, instead offering a smile and saying:
"Sister Yun Xi, did you know? Grandfather has also come to the Eastern Wilderness; he’s waiting just outside the Burial God Wasteland."
"With such a great opportunity at hand, we should let the elder decide."
Yun Xi was startled. Grandfather... had also come?
Meanwhile, Yun Qin had already taken out a Transmission Crystal.
She sent a message immediately.
Zhan Shaoling too sent a message directly. Zhan Wanren and others from the Zhan Family were also waiting outside with their people.
The moment of opportunity had arrived, and it was time to pull out all the stops.
Other Sect Gates followed suit!
Suddenly.
Outside the Burial God Wasteland.
Many elders were watching over this vast land, waiting.
"Brother Yun, rest assured, all the great fortunes of this place will surely belong to our two families."
Zhan Wanren approached with a smile.
Yun Qianshan nodded indifferently, "Indeed."
But he was somewhat distracted.
For he didn’t care about the fortunes here.
His mind was on his granddaughter...
Could she be in this region?
And at that moment.
The Transmission Crystal he was carrying suddenly lit up.
He quickly checked it and his face showed shock.
"Divine Vine, Divine Fruit emerging... My Xi’er is present?"
In that moment, Yun Qianshan was thrilled and without hesitation, he dashed into the Great Wilderness!
Beside him, Zhan Wanren and other great figures, also receiving the news, were equally excited, hastily following!
...
Before the giant vine.
"Grandfather has truly come?"
Yun Xi asked, longing for her grandfather after three years apart.
"Yes... everyone at home misses you, misses you so much. Upon learning that you were still alive, grandfather came to the Eastern Wilderness without a second thought. If not for my interference, he might’ve entered the Burial God Wasteland directly..."
Yun Qin spoke, but her eyes carried a chill.
"Where is my Xi’er!"
Just at that moment, from above the Sky Domain, a trembling, aged voice called out.
Everyone looked up sharply as an elder appeared!
His speed was incredible, for he had directly utilized a Divine Spiritual Artifact!
Merely for the purpose of hastening along the road!
"Yun Family’s Yun Qianshan!"
"Such a powerhouse, actually appearing?"
"If I’m not mistaken, Yun Qianshan has already reached the Sub-divine Realm, right...?"
Everyone was shocked to the core.
And for Yun Xi, upon seeing that elderly figure, her long lashes too quivered. She was thrilled beyond measure and exclaimed:
"Grandfather, I’m here!"
Yun Qianshan landed and took a careful look.
When he saw the girl in white, at that moment, his aged eyes moistened!
"Yun Xi... is it really you? My dear granddaughter!"
He strided forward, his excitement indescribable.
Yun Xi ran up to his side and said:
"It’s me, it’s me, Grandpa, I’m back..."
She clasped her grandfather’s aged hand and said, "Grandpa, I’ve missed you all so much!"
Yun Qianshan’s hand trembled as he lovingly stroked Yun Xi’s hair and suddenly burst into uproarious laughter!
"Haha, hahaha!"
"My dear granddaughter of Yun Qianshan has returned, she’s not dead, heaven has eyes, heaven has eyes!"
At this moment, he felt as if the sorrow and gloom of the past three years had been swept clean!
"Xi’er, rest assured, from now on, Grandpa will never let anyone force you into marriage, no matter who they are!"
He spoke out loudly, completely unconcerned with the Zhan Family by his side!
For he never wanted to bear the pain of losing his granddaughter again!
Yun Xi too smiled and said, "Don’t worry, Grandpa, you don’t have to fret over Xi’er’s affairs anymore~~"
The grandfather and granddaughter reunion was a moment of sheer joy.

By their side, Zi Ling and Mu Wanqing were also sincerely happy for Yun Xi.
Zhan Wanren and others from the Zhan Family had also arrived, and upon seeing Yun Xi, he was taken aback, then looked towards Zhan Shaoling.
Zhan Shaoling transmitted the whole story to him.
A shadow instantly crossed Zhan Wanren’s eyes, but he stepped forward and said:
"Brother Yun, a grand reunion indeed—a joyous occasion!"
"Congratulations!"
"However, with such a grand opportunity before us, we should join forces to seize it first!"
In great spirits, Yun Qianshan glanced up at the petrified tree and laughed:
"Very well, such Divine Fruit is best used for my Xi’er to consume!"
"Xi’er, wait for me, Grandpa will fetch it for you!"
He was spirited and resolute, and without waiting for Yun Xi’s response, he took a step forward. His Sub-god level divine might was fully displayed as he threw a punch, thundering towards the Barrier!
"Boom!"
In an instant, Spiritual Power exploded!
Upon seeing this, Zhan Chonglei and others were taken aback. Yun Qianshan’s strength was formidable, almost comparable to those Old Vines in the Secret Realm!
However, the Barrier was equally terrifying. Yun Qianshan’s Sub-god level attack was completely ineffective!
Even more terrifying, Yun Qianshan’s attack on the Barrier seemed to create a ripple!
And then, a horrifying aura instantly enveloped the whole scene.
Almost to annihilate Yun Qianshan!
"Grandfather!"
Yun Xi grew anxious, at this moment, she no longer waited, a butterfly gently fluttered its wings within her sleeve.
In an instant, a mysterious force, as though it could split the heavens, pressed against the barrier, the surge of energy from the barrier was abruptly swept away!
Moreover, this power tore through the barrier!
The barrier... had been broken!
Everyone was taken aback.
Zhan Shaoling was even more shocked as he looked towards Yun Xi, what treasure could she possibly possess?
At this moment, an ominous premonition flashed through his heart.
"What is that? Corpses littering the ground?"

Someone exclaimed.
Once the barrier was broken, everyone could see the situation surrounding the huge vine much more clearly!
Within the barrier, the land spanning hundreds of li was covered with the roots of the massive vine, those ancient roots, like petrified serpentine dragons, appeared intermittently upon the earth!
And around the roots of the giant vine, piled high with bones were numerous creatures, their corpses draped over the vine!
Those bodies were so ancient it was unclear to which era they should belong, but they all exuded a supreme aura, as if they once belonged to the mightiest beings!
At this moment, Zi Ling, looking at this scene, suddenly found herself in shock, as if a flood of history was rushing before her eyes!
It was the chaos of time, it was the shattering of the void, the heavens had crumbled, the flames at the edge of the universe had burned out, the world was tumultuous, and creatures were bathed in blood!
It was a colossal vine of verdant green standing between heaven and earth, refining the sun, moon, and stars for nourishment, fighting, struggling with all its might, only to be submerged by a thick grey fog!
"...Primal Divine Grape... is her medicine, but now tainted with strangeness, the divine grape will be destroyed... No! This is her hope to live... With her blood as ink, she strikes back against the ultimate enemy... The medicine, must be delivered to her..."
A glowing creature of immense strength, at the very edge of power, but at this moment, is weeping in sorrow!
"My ancestral blood, pouring into the divine grape... Ignite my ancestral blood, burn my life’s essence!"
A world-conquering entity imbued with a sacred aura, burning all its blood, even its life consumed, to save the giant vine!
"Cough cough... I once saw in this Sky Domain, the sword shattered, the Vermilion Bird wept in its fall, the Undying Tree already cold... Has everyone else died too? No... She is the only one left, she cannot die again, this medicine is hope, is hope!..."
An ancient giant coughed up blood profusely, tearing open his chest, Allowing the ancestral blood to flow upon the roots of the giant vine, the giant sovereign dying, yet laughing tragically!
"World-Honored One... you must return, return!"
"In this life, following the World-Honored One, fight till the heavens fall, hahaha, enough, it is enough..."
"... Our sacrifice is ultimately worthwhile, the fire seed will continue, will continue... Waiting in deathly silence, this world will eventually become what we hoped for..."
In their last cries, the giants died, the blood of the world-conquering entities burned out, the glowing creatures withered...
Their bodies, fallen atop the roots of the giant vine!
The vast grey fog had dissipated, and within the boundless Sky Domain, only one petrified giant vine remained!
As life ceased, a grape remained untouched by the corruption...
At this moment, Zi Ling’s eyes misted over, her heart inexplicably hurt!
"Why, why do I feel like crying, it shouldn’t be so, it shouldn’t be so..."
On her stunningly beautiful face, tears glistened as they fell!
She knew not for whom she cried, nor why she grieved, she was like a bystander, witnessing fragments of the river of time, yet stood powerless at the downstream of time...
At this point, countless people on the scene, however, felt nothing, their faces only showed greed!
"The barrier is broken, go, snatch the Divine Fruit!"
"That belongs to us!"
"Here goes everything!"
The Zhan Family and many other Sect Gates were now as if they had gone mad, rushing towards the petrified giant vine!
