Countless flower petals flew in the sky.

Their fragrance spread across the sky.

The fragrance enables one to regain their physical strength very quickly but n.o.body had the time to care about the flower petals and the fragrance.

Everyone's attention was on the third fruit.

s.n.a.t.c.h the fruit and make a breakthrough of their Enlightenment State.

That was what went on in everyone's mind. n.o.body would resist the temptation caused by this opportunity.

As the three beasts attacked, everyone else charged towards the purple fruit and was afraid that it would be s.n.a.t.c.hed by someone else if they were too slow.

A great war began.

However, the three beasts were extremely powerful. As they charged towards the fruit, rocks flew and plants were broken. The force was so powerful that the sect leaders were pushed aside.

Meanwhile, having swallowed the fruit, Monster Emperor Baizhi and Golden Dragon Xuanyuan Five were absorbing the power of the fruit and securing their enlightenment state. Therefore, they did not bother s.n.a.t.c.hing the other fruit.

The three beasts attacked when there were no opponents.

However, after the reached the purple fruit, another problem came.

Who would eat the fruit first?!

The three beasts did not solve this problem by talking but used their claws instead.

Every single one of the four ancient beasts was extremely ferocious. They began to s.n.a.t.c.h the fruit without even considering about collaboration.

“Brother, do we s.n.a.t.c.h it directly or?” One of the warlocks wanted to attack while the three beasts were not paying attention.

“The earlier the fruit appears, the stronger the reiki. The third fruit must be way more precious than the fourth and the fifth fruit,” affirmed Hong You.

“Then what are we waiting for? With our powers, we may not lose to the three beasts!”

“Yes, attack!”

The twelve warlocks did not hesitate as they knew that there was a pattern to such opportunities.

The fruits were not equally precious.

The first fruit was definitely more powerful than the second. Similarly, the third fruit must be more powerful than the rest. Now that they had lost the first two fruits, they definitely would have to get the third one.

The twelve warlocks descended together and joined the chaotic fight.

Seeing this, Mu Qingfeng and Yan Qianli stopped. They exchanged gazes and figured it out.

The appearance of the third fruit caused a fight directly.

They stood a chance to attack sneakily but the chance was extremely slim. Sometimes, they had to give up if they had no choice.

“The flowers can heal injuries and therefore should contain power too. Since not all the flowers bear fruits, should we just eat some flowers first to see the effects?” Mu Qingfeng pointed to a cl.u.s.ter of flowers nearby.

“That makes sense.” Yan Qianli nodded.

“Pavilion Master Mu, Prince Yan, I study medicine, should I taste these flowers first?” asked Heavenly Oasis Saint as he looked at the flowers.

n.o.body knew what were the effects of the flowers.

After all, n.o.body had directly swallowed the flowers before as everyone was fixated on the fruit. Therefore, Heavenly Oasis Saint was slightly worried.

“Heavenly Oasis Saint makes sense. However, let me do this testing. If there's anything wrong, Heavenly Oasis Saint can save me.” Yan Qianli walked towards the flowers after he finished his sentence.

Mu Qingfeng and Heavenly Oasis Saint looked at each other and did not stop him.

Meanwhile, Yan Qianli plucked a flower and put it in his mouth before swallowing it after chewing on it.

“How do you feel? Is there anything wrong?” asked Mu Qingfeng anxiously.

“I can feel a gust of warmth… ah!” Yan Qianli suddenly stood up from the floor and perspiration covered his entire forehead and body.

“Prince Yan!”

“Prince Yan!”

Seeing this, Heavenly Oasis Saint immediately went to Yan Qianli and placed his hand on Yan Qianli's chest as he tried to control Yan Qianli's movements

However, Yan Qianli kept struggling.

Meanwhile, as he struggled, a strange scene happened. Yan Qianli's white hair started turning black.

Apart from the changes to his hair, foul air started radiating from his body.

“Prince Yan is turning younger?!” Mu Qingfeng was stunned when he saw this.

“Prince Yan, how are you feeling?” asked the Heavenly Oasis Saint anxiously.

“It's effective, I can feel that I am extremely close to making a breakthrough, these flowers can increase our cultivation state too!” Yan Qianli looked extremely excited as his condition stabilized.

“Then what are we waiting for? Eat them now!” Heading this, Mu Qingfeng plucked two flowers and put them in his mouth without hesitation.

Soon after, Mu Qingfeng made a groan of agony as foul air started radiating from his body and he looked significantly younger.

“Yuer, hurry, eat this flower.” Heavenly Oasis Saint immediately plucked a flower and gave it to Wu Yuer as he saw the effect take place on Mu Qingfeng.

“Hmm.” Wu Yuer did not hesitate.

Meanwhile, some of the sect leaders saw this from a distance. After recovering from their initial shock, they exchanged glances and began to look for flowers wildly.

The fight for fruit was extremely violent.

If they could eat some flowers to boost their powers, they had more hope when the fruit appeared later.

They began to pluck flowers too.

“Yo!” At this moment, a whistle was heard in the sky before a red shadow flew down at an extremely fast speed.

“It's Bi Fang!”

“Bi Fang came back again?!”

“And Bai Ze!”

“All the ancient G.o.dly beasts who had left are back again?!”

As the whistle sound was heard, everyone realized that there were dozens of figures flying towards them. They were none other than the G.o.dly beasts who had left.

The Source of G.o.d appeared.

Humans, demons and G.o.dly beasts all went mad.

At the foot of the Heaven Zen Mountain, Qian Yu, Emperor Lin Mubai and the rest felt the strange phenomenon on the Heaven Zen Mountain. The fragrance made them feel delighted.

“Yu'er, what's happening?” Lin Mubai did not understand.

“The movements in the sky seemed to have ceased. The two beasts are no longer destroying the mountain. The fragrance seemed to be that of flowers. I have no idea about what is happening either.”

“Yu'er, look, those G.o.dly beasts who had left are back again?!”

“The G.o.dly beasts are back… could it be…”

“What?”

“Source of G.o.d!”

“Source of G.o.d?!”

“Yes, it must be the Source of G.o.d, it is on the Heaven Zen Mountain!”

“The Source of G.o.d is on the Heaven Zen Mountain?!” Lin Mubai was clearly stunned. If that was true, there must be something that caused the G.o.dly beasts to return. It was most probably able to change the fate of humankind and give them hope. “Pa.s.s down my command, head up the mountain!”

“Roger!”

The army of the Great Xia Dynasty charged towards the Heaven Zen Mountain again.

Meanwhile, the troops of the Monster Race and Demon Race also began to move. In fact, because of their ability as monsters, they were much faster than the army of the Great Xia Dynasty.

“Your Majesty, that looks like the army of the Radiant Moon Empire!”

“And the War Pinnacle Empire!”

“Those behind looks like the army of the Empire of the Northern Barbarians!”

As the soldiers climbed up the mountain, they spotted the ma.s.sive number of soldiers a distance away.

“They came on time. Let's not care about them and head up the mountain first!” Lin Mubai commanded as he took a glance at the army of the three empires.”

“Roger!”

As a fight over the opportunity erupted on the Heaven Zen Mountain, something else happened at the deep regions of the Heaven Zen Mountain.

Countless vines grew from the ground and blocked the falling mountain rocks like hands, forming a flat ground at the foot of the mountain.

Meanwhile, Chi Guyan and Yan Xiu were sitting in front of Fang Zhengzhi and stared at his face.

Fang Zhengzhi was extremely pale.

After being slapped on the head by Nangong Mu, even though he managed to resist the hit at the last moment, the powerful impact still caused him to suffer severe injuries.

Similarly, Chi Guyan and Yan Xiu were also injured.

They were hit by the mountain rocks as they fell. Their s.h.i.+rts were slightly broken and had traces of blood on their arms.

“Crack!” At this moment, a crisp cracking sound was heard before a white figure slid down the gaps of the vines.

With a ‘plop!' sound, the figure fell to the ground.

Indeed, it was Yun Qingwu.

“Hmm?” Yan Xiu was shocked. He thought Yun Qingwu was beside Wu Yuer and should not have fallen with the rest of them.

He was just about to walk over to take a look before he heard a roar before a cloud of fire moved down the vines. Then, two figures fell on the ground like stones.

“…” Yan Xiu was stunned.

Meanwhile, Chi Guyan dashed over immediately as she saw that one of them who came down was Ping Yang.

“Ping Yang? Why did you…”

“Ah, I want to kill you, kill you to take revenge for the shameless brat!” Ping Yang's eyes were bloodshot as she threw punches on Nangong Mu.

“Bam!”

Crack…

As she threw her punches, dull sounds of impact were heard.

However, Nangong Mu did not even frown and allowed the punches to hit his body until he saw Fang Zhengzhi who was sitting nearby.

“Fang Zhengzhi? You… you didn't die?!” Nangong Mu's dull expression suddenly changed as he realized that Fang Zhengzhi was still alive.

He didn't die!

How was that possible?!

As Nangong Mu said that, Ping Yang's body also shook and noticed Fang Zhengzhi who was sitting on the ground in a distance, as well as Chi Guyan who was running towards her.

“Didn't die?! Sister… Sister Yan, this shameless brat didn't die?” Ping Yang was astonished and her tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Fang Zhengzhi did not die.

He really didn't die!

Ping Yang was extremely agitated. She ran towards Chi Guyan and completely disregarded Nangong Mu.

However, at this moment, there was another turn of event.

A blood-red radiance flashed across Nangong Mu's eyes. If Fang Zhengzhi was dead, he did not mind being killed by Ping Yang.

However, how could he accept the fact that Fang Zhengzhi was still alive?

“Fang Zhengzhi, I'm going to kill you!”

“Scram!” Chi Guyan's voice was heard.

It was straight to the point.

Then, a snake tail flas.h.i.+ng with a five-colored radiance struck the back of Nangong Mu and pulled Nangong Mu back.

Bam! Nangong Mu's body hit the mountain rock, causing it to crack open. Some of the vines that were wound around the mountain rock were also broken.

“Nangong Mu, you can't kill Fang Zhengzhi. If you insist on killing him, you will die!” Yan Xiu yelled as he stood up and blocked Fang Zhengzhi.

“Why? Why do all of you want to destroy my fruit of the Tree of G.o.d!” Nangong Mu growled. He looked indignant and tears of agony streamed down his face.

He was also crying.

Similar to Ping Yang but was much sadder and looked as though he was in much more agony.

In terms of emotions, he did not want to be enemies with Fang Zhengzhi but in order to fulfill the mission of the Nangong n.o.bles, he had no choice.

“You can't open the Door of the Realm of G.o.d!” Yan Xiu sounded very cold.

“Why not?! Now the Gate of G.o.d of the Two Realms of Monsters and Demons are wide open, how are we going to win the battle without any G.o.dly State experts?”

“There's no reason for it. Fang Zhengzhi said to not open it, so we can't open it!”

“What does he know?”

“Why do I not know?” A voice was heard and broke off Yan Xiu and Nangong Mu's sentences. Then, a figure stood up slowly from the ground.

It was none other than Fang Zhengzhi!

By right, he would need at least a couple of days to recover from his injuries.

However, after the scent of flowers wafted to his nose, he suddenly felt that his injuries were healing rapidly.

Where was he?

Fang Zhengzhi looked up at the vines. There were giant rocks on the vines and there were only some gaps in between the rocks such that he could not see what was outside clearly.

Was he at the foot of the Heaven Zen Mountain?

He did not die?

That was amazing.

After Fang Zhengzhi heaved a sigh of relief, he looked at Nangong Mu and said, “Nangong Mu, I only have one question for you, do you really think that Emperor Yan would go against Emperor Huang?”

“What do you mean?” Nangong Mu clenched his fist.

“All of us are the descendants of Yan Huang. You should know the relations.h.i.+p between Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were like that of biological brothers. Do you really think that there was friction between them because they fought after the position of the ruler?”

“They would not do that if that was the only reason. However, are you sure there are no other reasons?”

“Talking about reasons… Do you know why the tomb of Emperor Huang Xuanyuan fell from the galaxy? Why did Emperor Huang Xuanyuan enter the galaxy? And why did Emperor Yan plant the Tree of G.o.d?”

“What… what are you trying to say?”

“Wake up, Nangong Mu, don't you already have the answers? If you don't believe it, look at the rock behind you!”

“Rock?” Nangong Mu turned back instinctively.

“Bam!”

Nangong Mu's body froze and looked extremely indignant and angry but eventually collapsed on the ground.
