1557 Thunder Gale Immortal Apricot, Yu Xiao and the Bull Demon, Someone is Getting It Now

The young man had Immortal Sparks surrounding him and a powerful energy presence spreading outward, which were both common features of a top-notch Prodigy.

If Chu Kuangren was around, he would probably recognize him as one of the Divine Daoists of the Eastern Sovereign Immortal Hall, the Eastern Sky Divine Daoist.

The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist looked at the jeweled tree with an odd look. “As expected of the Chaos Fragment. It even has the treasure that has been extinct for many years in the outside world.”

“Oh, isn’t that the Thunder Gale Immortal Apricot?”

Suddenly someone else’s voice sounded.

Another young man arrived before the jeweled tree. He had black flames surrounding him and an ominous presence emanating outward.

The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist recognized him at first glance. “Oh, it’s you, Yu Xiao.”

It was Yu Xiao, the Prodigy from the Subspecies Restricted Area.

He once fought Chu Kuangren at the Interstellar Arena but was, unfortunately, defeated.

Beside Yu Xiao was another man with bull horns on his head. The young man’s eyes gleamed in green, and his stout but bare upper body had bulging muscles that exuded a terrifying aura.

“Bull horns, green eyes… Is he a subspecies of the Green-Eyed Bull Demon?”

The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist was rather surprised.

Legend had it that the Subspecies Restricted Area raised all kinds of subspecies from different Yokai Tribes. Yu Xiao was the subspecies of the Golden Crow, while the green-eyed Bull Demon was a Bully Demon subspecies. Both of them were a lot stronger than their common counterparts.

“It really is the Immortal Apricot,” a female voice said.

A woman in white came stepping on air, leaving a trail of Immortal Sparks behind her. She also had a prestigious and dignified presence to her.

The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist noticed the sheer strength in her presence. It could even rival that of the Great Arbiter Divine Maiden!

“The West Ruler Matriarch’s successor, Yu Zhi!”

The Easter Sky Divine Daoist was deterred by her arrival.

The Jade Pool Maiden Sage, also known as the West Ruler Matriarch’s successor, had gained strength that could match a Peerless Prodigy.

Other than Yu Zhi, the energy fluctuation from the Immortal Apricots attracted many others. Each of them was at least a Gilded Immortal.

After all, those who could make it into the Chaos Fragment were no longer in the ranks of common sky-prides.

All of them showed brazen eagerness to acquire the Immortal Apricots.

“That’s one of the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots, the Immortal Apricot. This is good!”

“Yeah. Every single one of the Ten Innate Spiritual Roots is an extraordinary item. This Immortal Apricot contains the energy of thunder and wind. If taken, there is a chance for one to master the Thunder Gale Arch Gilded Intent. Legend has it that an Immortal once took it and grew wings that contained the power of lightning and wind. He was able to fight marvelously in the Great Deification War!”

“I cultivated the Thunder Gale Dao! If I can consume it, I will be able to master the Thunder Gale Arch Gilded intent and break through to the Arch Gilded Immortal!”

“Stop dreaming. See those Prodigies? Do you think they will allow you to even get close to it?”

The sky-prides looked at the Prodigies who had the jeweled tree surrounded.

They were the Eastern Sky Divine Daoist, Yu Xiao, Yu Zhi, Zhuanxu’s successor of the Human Emperor Sect, and Cao Yun and Fu Yin from the Hundred Academy.

“There are only two apricots and a dozen of us here. How are we going to divide it?” the Eastern Sky Divine Daoist jokingly said to the others.

The Green-Eyed Bull Demon beside Yu Xiao said coldly, “I’m getting the apricot!”

A terrifying Thunder Gale intent erupted from his stout body. The crowd finally found out that not only did the Bull Demon cultivate his muscles, but he also cultivated the Thunder Gale Dao.

The Immortal Apricot would boost his cultivation by a mile.

“The Subspecies Restricted Area has the biggest advantage here. I have some treasures that I can give away as long as all of you let us take the apricot. How about that?”

Yu Xiao then took a bag of treasures out for the others.

The value of those treasures was not bad. Some of them even tempted the Eastern Sky Divine Daoist.

“That’s the Yin Yang Branch!”

Suddenly, Fu Yin saw the piece of wood that Yu Xiao took out and was a little surprised by it.

“Yu Xiao, it’s unnecessary. If they want to fight us for the apricots, let them have it!” the Green-Eyed Bull Demon cackled with laughter as he glanced at Yu Zhi and the others, revealing his eagerness to fight.

“I would avoid fighting if possible,” Yu Xiao said.

He was not as reckless and rash as the Green-Eyed Bull Demon. Although he was not afraid to fight, he knew it would be a tough battle to engage with the others.

Once they started fighting, he and the Green-Eyed Bull Demon might not even be able to secure the upper hand.

Yu Xiao looked at the others and continued, “The apricots are a great boost for Bull Demons, and we’re getting our hands on it. We’re not afraid to fight, but since the apricots are not that much of a use for you guys, why not take the treasures and leave peacefully? Take it as me asking a favor.”

The crowd pondered.

The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist smiled. “A favor from the Subspecies Restricted Area? I will gladly take it. I’ll be taking the Grand Solar Essence Core.”

He took a gemstone from the pile of treasures and stated his intention to withdraw from the battle.

Zhuanxu’s successor pondered for a little longer but ultimately decided to accept the offer.

Yu Xiao was right. The apricot might be a precious treasure, but none of them cultivated the Thunder Gale Dao, so it was not as useful to them.

There were many other places to explore in the Chaos Fragment, so there was no point to fight Yu Xiao at the start of the exploration.

“Fu Yin, what do you say?” Cao Yun asked for Fu Yin’s opinion.

“I want the Yin Yang Branch,” she said.

“Sure.” Cao Yun nodded.

Since the others were withdrawing from the battle, there was no point for him to fight either.

However, just when they were about to get the Yin Yang Branch, Yu Xiao frowned and shot Yin flames at them.

The sudden attack caught the two of them off guard, and they were blasted away with minor injuries.

Their expression turned grim.

“Yu Xiao, what’s the meaning of this?” Cao Yun’s gaze turned frosty.

“I forgot to say that the people from the Hundred Academy are not eligible to take the treasures,” Yu Xiao said.

The other sky-prides grew tumultuous.

They knew why Yu Xiao declined the two from the Hundred Academy.

The Eastern Sky Divine Daoist, Zhuanxu’s successor, and the other Prodigies gloated at Cao Yun and Fu Yin.

“If I remember correctly, Yu Xiao was once defeated by Chu Kuangren. So, is this revenge?”

“Maybe.

“Tsk tsk. Chu Kuangren has really offended a lot of people. Now, even the Hundred Academy is being boycotted.”

“Too bad.”

Yu Zhi frowned. She, too, had a good relationship with Chu Kuangren, so she could not just sit back and watch Cao Yun and Fu Yin being bullied.

Just when she was about to step out, a blast of Immortal Sparks came from further away, trembling the Chaos qi in the area.

“Who dares to deny the Hundred Academy from getting the treasures?”

A cold voice sounded.

The moment the voice echoed, all the sky-prides and Prodigies looked toward the origin and were horrified by what they saw.

Cao Yun and Fu Yin were delighted, and so was Yu Zhi, who planned to help.

She took a step back and watched. She knew that person had come back, and someone would be getting unlucky.
