Perfect World

Chapter 708: Chapter 708
 

Shi Hao arrived, emerging from the ground layer just in time to pick the Golden Bodhi Fruit.

Here, the golden glow spread like flames, diffusing a heady fragrance that penetrated one’s bones, instantly refreshing the mind as if one were about to ascend to immortality.

“Hmm?” He was surprised, unable to pluck it!

Though the small tree was nearly dried up, it was extraordinarily sturdy, as if cast from Divine Gold, and so was the stem of the fruit; he failed to pluck it on his first attempt.

He had heard from Yun Xi that the Golden Bodhi Tree was a rare material for refiners; indeed, it was so, as even his strong body couldn’t break it without applying his full strength.

“Come down.” He exerted a little force, and the Golden Bodhi Tree glowed, breaking the stem connected to the fruit.

However, just then, a shocking change occurred; Shi Hao’s hair stood on end, a tremendous force surged from beneath the earth, sending him flying and spitting fresh blood.

Had it not been for his Magic Immunity, he would certainly have been killed! It was an intense symbol that struck him.

A middle-aged woman from the Zhan Tribe appeared, her hair elegantly pinned up with glowing golden accessories, and her jade hands raised as she burst from the ground layer, snatching the intensely fragrant Golden Bodhi Fruit.

Shi Hao was furious, to have the Divine Fruit stolen at this final moment infuriated him.

This was the woman’s Guardian Spirit from the Zhan Tribe, who pursued Shi Hao deep underground. Even though she was injured in the Blood Pool, it was not a significant hindrance, and she had also stealthily traveled here.

One could say, her aim was the same as Shi Hao, calculating that a change would happen on the ground, coming to gather the precious medicine, and playing the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

“You…” Shi Hao nearly vomited blood, originally plotting against others, but ended up becoming the prey himself, his efforts all in vain.

With a humming noise, heaven and earth trembled, a terrifying field energy spread, enveloping this ancient land.

Shi Hao’s complexion changed, though extremely reluctant, he immediately used the Ground Shrinking Technique to flee into the distance because it seemed that something nurturing in the Blood Pool beneath Skull Mountain was awakening.

Now, escaping with his life was the most crucial, ignoring everything else.

“Thinking of leaving? Not so easy, leave your life behind,” the middle-aged woman from the Zhan Tribe pursued, intent on finishing him.

Shi Hao looked grim, the so-called Magic Immunity also had its limits, clearly at his current Venerable One realm he couldn’t stand against a True God no matter what.

This time he suffered a great loss, getting injured was minor, but losing the Golden Bodhi Fruit was too costly.

Boom!

The ground cracked, a bone shears swept across the sky in intense white light, the Skull deity surged up, issuing a roar, stating, “Thinking of stealing my Divine Fruit, leave your life behind.”

With a slicing sound, the blade’s radiance was like a rainbow, spanning a thousand zhang, slashing towards the middle-aged woman from the Zhan Tribe, filled with murderous aura!

In the distance, three True Gods stood still, they had not gone far, watching that ancient land from afar, they couldn’t help but be startled by the scene and showed joy.

“The Golden Bodhi Fruit is obtained, hurry to support!” The true body of the Zhan Tribe woman was overjoyed, bypassing Skull Mountain, she chased down at high speed, very excited, her Guardian Spirit had achieved great merit.

In fact, they never thought of leaving, the Golden Bodhi Fruit was too tempting, even though they knew the place was dangerous, they wanted to act according to the situation.

“Clang!”

In the battlefield, the bone shears were like a rainbow, severing a Magic Artifact of the middle-aged woman’s Guardian Spirit from the Zhan Tribe, pushing forward, the boundless blade radiance swept like an ocean, extremely intimidating.

“Don’t be arrogant!” Behind them, three powerful experts arrived, and a fierce battle erupted.

Shi Hao withdrew from the battlefield, spitting several mouthfuls of fresh blood, this loss made his chest stuffy, actually getting sneak-attacked and robbed off his precious medicine was hard to swallow.

Obviously, in the eyes of the three True Gods, the Golden Bodhi Fruit was far more important than him; none pursued him, all were fighting the Bone God.

Surprisingly, not far off, Skull Mountain trembled for a moment then calmed down again, the field emanating from deep underground had disappeared.

“Divine Nirvana?” Shi Hao whispered, he concealed his form, disappearing from that place, not wanting to become hunted prey after the great battle ended.

“Divine Knife of Celestial God, please exert your power!”

Just then, the Bone God spoke up, chanting these words, and Skull Mountain immediately lit up, Divine Radiance intensifying.

All three gods changed their colors, turning to flee at once as a chilling killing intent approached, making them shudder.

Slash!

The blade radiance soared to the sky, in that direction, a bone shears, like a great sun across the sky, surged from Skull Mountain, slashing at high speed.

“Puff!”

Blood splattered, the Dragon Sparrow screamed in agony, revealing its true body, one wing was severed, bringing a downpour of blood, it fled in panic.

“Where do you think you’re escaping to!”

The Bone God shouted, sending a palm strike, with a bang, the Dragon Sparrow was hit, its feathers scattering, another mournful cry as it was sent flying.

Simultaneously, the Divine Knife of Celestial God’s light was overwhelming, indestructible, surrounded by splendid runes, one strike cleaved the Guardian Spirit of the Zhan Tribe woman in two.

The middle-aged man and woman of the Zhan Tribe, seeing this, were terrified, but ultimately couldn’t give up the Golden Bodhi Fruit, diving down, reaching for that golden fruit.

“Slash!” Bone God shouted, the Divine Knife of Celestial God, like a comet dragging a dazzling tail, swept across the sky, erupting with incomparable fluctuations.

“Puff!”

Both were struck by the blade, the man lost his left arm, the woman lost her right leg, Zhan Tribe’s precious blood spattered.

But, the middle-aged woman eventually got hold of the Golden Bodhi Fruit, endured the intense pain, and soared into the sky.

“Strike again!”

Bone God shouted, and the Celestial God Magic Artifact flew up. Unfortunately, its luster dimmed and its power greatly reduced this time.

This was a weapon of the Celestial God. Bone God was merely driving it with a spell. Unfortunately, time was up and it didn’t inflict damage to the enemy this time, while he himself suffered huge exhaustion.

“Shoo!”

Seeing this, the male and female from the Zhan Tribe had no intention of fighting and resisting; they turned around and ran. To them, nothing was more important than taking the Golden Bodhi Fruit.

“My item, you also want to take it? Leave it behind!” The Snow White Skeleton, holding its bone shears, chased after them, bursting with overwhelming killing intent.

In the distance, the Dragon Sparrow rose. It was severely injured and fled with the two powerful warriors from the Zhan Tribe, apparently to keep warm together, fearing being killed if they were alone.

Bone God sneered. He was just a step away from detaching from this realm; he was stronger than these three and wasn’t afraid of their combined force.

This was a chaotic battle, a relentless chase and constant fighting. The three gods suffered a great disadvantage under the Celestial God Magic Artifact, their combat capabilities drastically reduced, thus they were defeated.

As the battle wore on, the three had bones broken and muscles torn, not only slashed by weapons but also hit by many palms, their bodies cracked in many places, nearly disintegrating.

The Dragon Sparrow was the most miserable, after transforming into its true form, both wings were cut off, one claw exploded. Moreover, its body was filled with blood holes, about to perish.

It managed to escape at the end, staggering and flying towards the distance.

As for Dragon Sparrow’s subordinates, the group of fierce birds had already retreated, terrified by the Divine War of True Gods, all fleeing from this ancient land.

Bone God was also injured, with several ribs in his chest broken. He glanced at Dragon Sparrow, slightly unwilling, and ultimately didn’t detach his Guardian Spirit to pursue it. Instead, he concentrated his energy to continue the fierce battle with the two Zhan Tribe warriors.

“Let’s go all out!” The middle-aged man from the Zhan Tribe shouted, summoning all his Guardian Spirits to fight, and burning his Magic Artifact to battle Bone God.

Still, it was futile. Guardian Spirits were killed one after another, and he tumbled to the earth, falling into a pool of blood.

“It’s just you now.” Bone God said, staring at the woman.

Hisss!

At this moment, the middle-aged woman from the Zhan tribe had no choice but to flee, burning her divine blood, desperately rushing towards the distance. She had lost a leg, relying solely on mana for support.

In the moment the two people fled, the middle-aged man from Zhan Tribe on the ground with a dark face got up, hesitated slightly, and with lightning speed, fled the battlefield.

Clearly, though he was injured, it wasn’t as severe as one might imagine. In order to survive, he shamefully pretended to be incapacitated, collapsing into the pool of blood.

It must be said, the Zhan Tribe woman’s speed was extraordinary. Although Bone God kept chasing and making moves occasionally, he always had difficulty capturing her for real.

As time passed, Bone God became anxious, because they were too far from Skull Mountain. He had duties to perform and couldn’t leave too far.

The so-called Golden Bodhi Fruit wasn’t of much use to him; he only didn’t want to simply give it to others. As time passed, he couldn’t hold on any longer and had to return.

“Roar…”

He made one last attempt, letting out a soul roar. His entire Skull lit up, a soul fluctuation burst forth, and then he charged forward.

“Ah…” The middle-aged woman from the Zhan Tribe screamed, covering her skull. Ultimately, she did not plummet from midair. Instead, she accelerated her escape, leaving the area.

Bone God, with a grim face, carrying his pristine long knife, headed back. And with that, this battle drew to a close.

On the ground, a figure appeared, chasing after the direction the Zhan Tribe woman fled, wrapped in radiant characters, bearing the Kun Peng wings, and his feet shimmering with light.

In that instant, Shi Hao used both the Kun Peng’s technique and the Ground Shrinking Technique, turning himself into a streak of light across the land.

He had been following behind, covertly watching the epic battle from afar, not approaching hastily. Only when Bone God went far did he burst forth, pursuing the woman’s traces.

On a Stone Mountain, the Zhan Tribe woman landed, her body covered in blood, bones broken and muscles torn, suffering unimaginable severe injuries. Her body was full of cracks, nearly crumbling, barely managing to fly here.

She couldn’t hold on anymore, landed, and immediately began to consume precious medicine to meditate and rest.

Shi Hao approached silently, his entire being seeming to blend into the void, his expression cold, his gaze merciless. Upon reaching the top of Stone Mountain, he suddenly accelerated.

“Who?”

The Zhan Tribe woman was very vigilant, sensed something unusual, but the moment she opened her eyes, a young man had already reached her.

This was unimaginable on any other day. As a True God, to be approached by someone so closely was only because she was too severely injured, nearly perishing.

Boom!

Shi Hao made his move. Symbols burst all over his body, the Reincarnation divine ability displayed intact, enveloping the blood-covered body in front of him.

“Hmm, what is this precious symbol?” The Zhan Tribe woman was taken aback. She was severely injured, her life force seriously depleted, and now it worsened further.

She felt her life force rapidly draining away, almost stripping her of her life. She rapidly retaliated, bursting out symbols from her body, trying to shock this young man to death on the spot!

Shi Hao was quite surprised. His strike was effective, the Reincarnation Runes working within her flesh. If it were anyone else, they would age and quickly deteriorate.

This woman, being a True God, though nearly dead from her previous battle, still resisted now and wasn’t killed by that strike.

“Hand over your life!” Shi Hao bellowed, lunging forward to kill his enemy and reclaim the Golden Bodhi Fruit.
