“Handsome all-powerful heavenly man, save me!”

As Lin Xuan searched for more devil fruit, he chanted the Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Man incantation. Although this incantation was strange, it had to be said that the effect was really strong. Every time he chanted it, Lin Xuan felt that an extremely thin layer of armor had been added to his soul.

With the power of the three wise kings, the external demons would not be able to invade!

This external demon did not only refer to mental attacks, but it could also effectively defend against one’s own mental demons. Of course, the exact effect was still unknown. However, there was no doubt that cultivating this spell would be profitable. In any case, it would not be a loss, it would be fine to recite a few more sentences every day when he had nothing to do. Cultivating it would not be troublesome at all.

As he walked, he encountered another devil fruit!

After inspecting countless fruits, he finally found one worthy of taking. It was hidden among a large number of fruits. If it was not for its unique appearance, Lin Xuan would not have picked it up.

“This pattern…” Holding the devil fruit, Lin Xuan fell into deep thought. What kind of ability did it have? Unfortunately, it could not be turned into a card, therefore, Lin Xuan could not see the ability contained within.

[Item: Devil Fruit (unknown)]

[Type: Special Bloodline]

[Level: None]

[Description: A secret treasure in the sea, the source of the disaster of the lost era!]

It was also at the moment when Lin Xuan picked the fruit that the sea kings wandering nearby began to get excited. They had already smelled the unique scent of the devil fruit and began to gather towards the sea forest.

Lin Xuan knew nothing about this!

He continued to search for more worthy fruits. The huge forest that was exposed above the sea was only the tip of the iceberg of the sea forest. There were even more branches and leaves, and the fruits were buried in the sea water.

For an entire day, Lin Xuan searched through all the fruits on the surface of the sea. Unfortunately, he only found the demonic fruit from before, but it was still quite a harvest.

Next was an even bigger project, which was to search for the demonic fruit under the sea.

Diving into the pitch-black sea, Lin Xuan opened his eyes to darkness. His surroundings were azure blue. He swam freely in the sea. His adaptability had grown stronger over the past few days.

The sea seemed to have become his home ground. It was also at this moment that Lin Xuan saw countless huge sea kings surrounding the sea forest through the gaps between the branches and leaves under the sea. However, they seemed to be afraid of something and did not move for a long time.

It was not until Lin Xuan went down that he saw many sea kings’ skeletons being entangled by huge branches and leaves. Not only was there a thousand-year-old dragon that was unlucky, but there were also many unlucky people that had all become nutrients for the growth of the sea forest.

It was like a sea king graveyard!

To be honest, Lin Xuan was a little scared. However, the shocking number of sea kings outside was even more frightening. Unless Lin Xuan stepped into the mystic-rank, he would only be torn into pieces if he went out now.

Moreover, even if it was the mystic-rank, it might not even be enough. Just because he didn’t see the earth-rank sea emperor didn’t mean that they didn’t come. They might be hiding somewhere, communicating with the forest, and trying to make a deal to kill Lin Xuan.

What was the reason for attracting so many sea kings? It seemed that he would not be able to return this time.

Forget it. On the fifth day, the promotion mission would automatically be completed. Since he had already killed an earth-rank dragon, if he still could not complete the promotion, then Lin Xuan could only accept his fate.

He continued to search for more demonic fruit.

The light at the bottom of the sea slowly dissipated. Even Lin Xuan could not see it so clearly. He had no choice but to approach and check each and every one of them.

“This isn’t it, this isn’t it either, this isn’t it yet…”

After looking through the whole pile, not a single one of them was worth it. He continued to look at the next pile.

“No, there’s no one here either. There’s still no one here…”

After checking every single place, he made a mark and continued on to the next place.

Finally, Lin Xuan found another demonic fruit in an unusually deep place. However, the environment in this place was terrible. The pressure surrounding him was too much that even with his powerful physique, he couldn’t hold on much longer.

He didn’t have time to take a closer look, so he picked the demonic fruit and quickly swam upstream.

At this moment, the sea kings wandering around the restricted area went completely crazy. Two devil fruit, a total of two devil fruit! If there was only one demonic fruit, then it might not be him, but if there were two, his chances of having one of them doubled!

Kill! The restricted area was nothing. This time, there were more than a hundred sea kings forcing their way in. This powerful force was enough to destroy a human stronghold. The restricted area of the sea meant nothing to them!

Kill, Kill, Kill!

Countless sea kings crazily rammed against the branches and leaves of the sea of trees. A huge sea king appeared. It swung its tail and fiercely lashed the tree trunk of the sea of trees, stirring up countless streams of water, the entire sea of trees couldn’t help but start to tremble.

The sea of trees wasn’t to be trifled with either. It was a peerless vicious plant that had grown from absorbing the life essence of countless sea kings and sea emperors. For a moment, countless branches and leaves began to whip back. They turned into a curved whip and firmly grabbed onto a sea king. Within an extremely short period of time, a fish skin wrapped around the fishbone fell down.

Lin Xuan tightly grabbed onto a branch and watched the entire process of the sea king turning into a fish bone. His entire body shivered, and he was extremely glad that he was a yellow-rank small fry. He was also very glad that the sea of trees did not take Lin Xuan seriously at all. He was so small, and there were not enough nutrients to supplement the forest.

However, this did not mean that Lin Xuan’s danger was over. On the contrary, at this time, there was nothing he could do. The only thing he could do was to quickly float up and put the demonic fruit into his personal space.

The aftershock between earth-ranks completely shocked Lin Xuan to death!

At this moment, the second sea emperor also joined the battlefield. A terrifying giant crab easily cut off countless branches and leaves with its huge pincers. Then, it aimed in Lin Xuan’s direction and ruthlessly clamped down.

Fortunately, it was blocked by the tenacious vines, so Lin Xuan was safe and sound.

“F*ck, they all want to attack me? Why?”

Soon, Lin Xuan also thought of the reason. The devil fruit could only be a devil fruit. When he found the devil fruit before, it seemed like there was a riot outside. However, things didn’t develop too much at that time, so Lin Xuan didn’t care.

Now that he thought about it, these sea kings and sea emperors had a way to smell the devil fruits that had already been picked.

This was indeed something that Lin Xuan had never thought of, but he didn’t seem to have any other way now. He had to get over it first.
