Chapter 1176 - Chapter 1176 Chapter 1124—Chapter 1125 Stunning Move Hot
Chapter 1176: Chapter 1124–Chapter 1125: Stunning Move, Hot Potato_2 Chapter 1176: Chapter 1124–Chapter 1125: Stunning Move, Hot Potato_2 And this time, the impact was earth-shattering!
Just like staying silent for three years and then startling the world with a single chirp, or hiding away for three years only to astonish heaven and earth with one leap.
In this battle, the Little Thunder King, Pang Hong, used the life of a Supreme Strong Demon King to tell all powerhouses between heaven and earth that his strength had become even more formidable; he had simply never revealed it before.
This incident, aside from drawing much attention to the awe-inspiring combat strength of Little Thunder King Pang Hong, also led many interested parties to pierce through the fog in an attempt to unearth what lay behind it.
As the Junior Leader of the Shenxiao Sect and a direct disciple of Shenxiao True Monarch, Pang Hong never lacked cultivation resources — things that many sought after but could not obtain were within easy reach for him.
So what exactly was the holy object within the Golden Bimong Tribe that caught the eye of such a person, worth him taking the risk to venture into Demon Race territory and snatch it away?
To many, since he had kept a low profile for so long, there must have been a reason.
But this time, heading to the Demon Domain, facing a strong clan like the Golden Bimong Tribe and risking confrontation with a Supreme Strong Demon King to seize the holy object, it definitely couldn’t be ordinary.
After all, creating such a stir now would also provoke reactions from many of the Demon Race; even if just for the sake of face, they would make a move to hunt down this famous True Immortal disciple, the well-known Little Thunder King.
“What exactly is worth him taking such a risk?” The hearts of many were filled with doubt, and even some strong individuals of the Demon Race were perplexed.
“Could it be a divine object for breaking through to the Strongest Realm?” speculated some of the human race’s powerhouses. Some Demon Race’s strong individuals thought of the imminent maturity of the Golden Bimong Tribe’s holy fruit and guessed whether the other party was aiming to seize this fruit to prepare for their breakthrough to the Strongest Realm.
“Perhaps for others, a divine object for breaking through to the Strongest Realm is precious, but let’s not forget who he is; he simply doesn’t need to take this risk.”
This speculation was instantly dismissed by many.
After all, for many strong individuals, breaking through to the Strongest Realm is like a heavenly chasm; they need to search for divine objects to have a greater chance of breaking through.
But Pang Hong didn’t need to. As a True Immortal disciple, he wasn’t lacking his own resources and even if he had to find something on his own, he didn’t need to take such a huge risk.
Therefore, people became even more curious about what the holy object that Pang Hong seized from the Golden Bimong Tribe actually was.
“Perhaps it’s a holy object that helps with the breakthrough to the Immortal Path?”
Even a lot of powerhouses speculated whether it involved something to do with breaking through to the Immortal Path. After all, for a Demon Race tribe with such an ancient heritage as the Golden Bimong Tribe, even without a True Immortal Monster God emerging, it didn’t mean they couldn’t find such things.
The Immortal Path, this was something worthy of Little Thunder King himself taking personal action and risk.
It must be said, these people hit the nail on the head by sheer guesswork, and they actually stumbled upon the true nature of the matter.
Just days later, a piece of news spread that shook countless strong individuals in the Eighth and Ninth Layer of the Spirit Realm and drove them wild.
“The holy object that Little Thunder King Pang Hong and others took from the Golden Bimong Tribe is a Divine Tree. This is the heritage Holy Tree of the Golden Bimong Tribe, which blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit every three thousand years, and ripens every three thousand years. The fruits it bears, when consumed, can increase the chances of breaking through to the Strongest Realm by ten percent.”
“Moreover, after the Heaven and Earth Ascension, this Divine Tree absorbed countless Creation Profound Mysteries and was nurtured by the immense foundations of the Golden Bimong Tribe, undergoing ancestral transformation once more. The fruit it now bears might possibly help one understand the Immortal Path.”
Boom!
This piece of news completely exploded.
Divine Tree, fruits, the Immortal Path.
These critical keywords linked together are enough to drive these strong figures crazy, whether they are from the human race or the Demon Race.
True Immortals reside at the pinnacle, dominating the situation of heaven and earth. All strong figures are clear that only by truly stepping into the Immortal Path can one dictate one’s own fate. Countless strong figures are looking for ways to cross this Heavenly Chasm.
Unfortunately, since the Heaven and Earth Ascension, only those twenty-plus True Immortals have appeared, and no new True Immortal has risen since. Hence, the Godsealing Plan has drawn countless strong figures into its fold.
However, compared to the Longevity Divine Position of Enthroning Gods, if one can break free and ascend to True Immortal on one’s own, wouldn’t that be a better choice?
Even though everyone is aware that this message has not yet been confirmed, and that the ripe fruit is only potentially helpful to their breakthroughs.
But this sliver of possibility is worth the strong figures stirring at the news and worth the risk they take.
“We’ve gotten ourselves into a huge mess!” Pang Hong said with a solemn expression, looking at the few people around him.
Their current location is a valley in the Demon Race territory, even deeper than the area inhabited by the Golden Bimong Tribe.
It’s not that they didn’t want to immediately rush back to the human race territory after seizing the item. But they couldn’t because the commotion caused by the clash of Supreme Strong beings had instantly attracted several Supreme Strong Demon Kings.
Although Pang Hong suppressing a Supreme Strong Demon King seemed tremendously impressive, it did not mean it was easy; he paid a substantial price and at least couldn’t contend with another Supreme Strong Demon King if one were to appear shortly.
Facing the remaining two completely furious Golden Bimong Tribe Demon Kings, along with the approaching Supreme Strong Demon Kings, they had no choice but to temporarily retreat and leave, even if it meant going deeper into the Demon Domain.
Finally, with the Divine Abilities of the brothers Gao Ming and Gao Jue, they found this spot to temporarily take shelter and enjoy a brief respite of safety and tranquility.
Nonetheless, none of this matters as much as the Divine Tree they hold in their hands, the Holy Object of the Golden Bimong Tribe.
At this moment, it is in their hands like a hot potato–they can’t hold onto it, yet they are not willing to let go.
“This item is too valuable. If it hadn’t been exposed, we might have been able to keep it, but now that the news has spread, I fear countless strong figures are searching for our traces,” Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li said with a frown.
“What are we risking our lives for, if not for the chance to live an extended life, to find the opportunity to step onto the Immortal Path? Now the chance is before our eyes, should we just give it up while watching?” Pestilence Venerable’s eyes flashed with struggle as he spoke in a deep voice.
The rest, such as the Mo Family Four Brothers, brothers Gao Ming and Gao Jue, Chen Qi, Zheng Lun, and Wither-Bloom Venerable, also looked hesitant at this moment.
There is no other reason; they did indeed manage to snatch the Holy Object of the Golden Bimong Tribe as planned, the Divine Object mentioned in the information they received that could help breakthrough to the Strongest Realm.
But then, many things went beyond their expectations. The Holy Tree underwent a transformation; its fruits grew and evolved again, emitting an aura that already had a part of the Immortal Path’s characteristics–it could even be considered an Immortal Path Fruit.
So when they first saw this fruit, even without any confirmation, their instincts told them that this fruit could help cultivators break through the Immortal Path Realm.
Originally, these individuals smoothly infiltrated the Golden Bimong Tribe. Even with their strict defenses and cloud-like strong figures, guided by the Divine Abilities of Thousand Miles Eye and Downwind Ear, Pang Hong and the others easily evaded countless traps and guards, effortlessly arriving at the location of the Divine Tree.
Those coveting Divine Objects naturally would not miss the chance upon discovering that the fruits born from this Holy Tree’s transformation could even help in breaking through to the Immortal Path.
However, such a Holy Tree is the lifeline of the Golden Bimong Tribe, inevitably protected by various stringent defenses, even with an Array linking the Holy Tree to a Supreme Strong Demon King, never separating from it.
So no matter how cleverly Pang Hong and the others avoided previous obstacles and arrived here with ease, wanting to obtain the Holy Fruit would certainly alarm the strong figures of the Golden Bimong Tribe, and that was unavoidable.
But even with the knowledge of such outcomes, Pang Hong and his companions would not hesitate or disrespect the Divine Object’s fruit with even the slightest hesitation. After all, their purpose was exactly this, to seize the Divine Object for their own use.
