Chapter 318: I’ll Annihilate You All, But Not At The Cost Of My Lifespan!
Roar!
When the dust settled, a huge hole appeared on the ground.
The hole was hundreds of feet in diameter and was sparkling with a glittering luster.
The gravel had turned into crystals under the bombardment of the lightning through high temperature.
Shen Tian had completely disappeared as if he had turned into powder under that strike.
The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon shook its head in satisfaction.
Damn human, you dare to steal my Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits? I’ve killed you in one strike!
However, shortly after, the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon discovered something strange.
Although Shen Tian had disappeared, the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits also vanished.
How was that possible!
One had to know that the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit was a supreme lightning-attributed spirit fruit, so it was completely immune to lightning attacks. Even if that human had turned into ash under the lightning, those nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits should still be there.
However, just why did the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits also disappear?
The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon was instantly enraged. Was it possible that there were other thieves nearby?
It sniffled and tried its best to sense the aura and energy fluctuation nearby.
Don’t think that because the Drakes’ intelligence was not high and did not possess the humans’ and demons’ ingenious means, they were easy to deal with. They had an extremely keen sense of smell and the ability to sense energy. Thus, they could easily perceive nearby intruders.
Normally, even if human Heavenly Venerables wanted to sneak into the vicinity of the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon, they would be quickly discovered and driven out.
To the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon, that thief that had stolen his Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit must still be close!
It tried its best to sense any fluctuation in energy and smelled if there were any strange auras.
However, the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon found nothing.
That was because Shen Tian’s ability to conceal his presence was unparalleled.
After circulating the Tinder Sutra, Shen Tian could completely conceal all his aura, so he could not be detected at all. In addition, the Hurricane Lilies had the ability to allow him to enter void pockets.
As long as Shen Tian hid underground, it would be difficult for even Sages to find him.
...
Finally, Shen Tian left under the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon’s crazy bombardment, which was on the verge of despair.
He did not think that it was unkind of him to steal the nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits. After all, Dragon Island’s rule of survival was none other than the survival of the fittest.
The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon would often hunt other mutated beasts to eat.
Shen Tian was already kind enough not to snatch the Drake eggs when the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon left.
Well, that was considering that Ao Wu was also a Dragon, so the impact would not be good.
Emerald luster was gradually emitted from the green grassland, and an imposing figure slowly emerged.
He was wearing the Azure Dragon Armor, and his body was wrapped with emerald vines. He looked just like the God of Flora.
“Brother Qi’s Pure Heavenly Eye is indeed powerful. We’ve reaped a bountiful harvest this time.” Shen Tian smiled brightly as he took the nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits out of his Archeon Sea Ring and said, “There’s a total of nine Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits. We’ll split them evenly with the three of us!”
Qi Shaoxuan hurriedly shook his head. “I only found the sacred fruits. It’s Brother Shen who risked his life to obtain the sacred fruits. How could I take advantage of you?”
Ao Wu pouted and said helplessly, “Don’t look at me. I did not do anything, so don’t count me in. Brother Shen, just split it with Brother Qi! I’ll just share with Brother Qi.”
Qi Shaoxuan, “???”
Good job!
You have been currying favor with Brother Shen, but once it’s time to split the loot, you think of “sharing with Brother Qi”.
Such a smart dodger!
Qi Shaoxuan looked at Shen Tian in disapproval. “How about this! Brother Shen, Ao Wu, and I take three while you keep the remaining six.”
He was not a Divine Firmament disciple, but he knew that the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit was an extremely precious sacred fruit.
Although the Purple Mansion Sacred Ground could also create pills using the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit, they would still have to associate with the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground if they really wanted to maximize the sacred fruit’s value.
Not to mention that with such an exceptional disciple, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground would definitely rise up and become Eastern Wilderness’ ruler.
Although Qi Shaoxuan self-proclaimed to be “invincible”, he still had to consider his sect’s future.
Divine Firmament and Purple Mansion had been secretly or publicly competing for so many years, so it was time to stop.
Let the friendship between the two major sacred grounds start with Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan!
...
Shen Tian originally wanted to refuse, but Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu were determined.
Without any other choice, he could only accept the six Purple Lightning Sacred Fruits and simultaneously exclaim how generous the both of them were.
Who said that everyone in the cultivation world prioritizes self-interest?
Why have all the prodigies of the same generation that I have met all view fortuitous opportunities as nothing to them and remain true to themselves in front of treasures?
I’m ashamed! What did I do to deserve so many good brothers that cherish friendship!
The trio rested for a while. Meanwhile, they were waiting to see if the other Drakes would help after the Purple Lighting Drake’s treasure was stolen.
The facts proved that Dragon Island’s Drakes did not seem to be united. The Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon was going crazy, but no Drakes bothered with it.
Besides those weak mutated beasts within the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon’s territory that were trembling in fear, the other powerful Drakes seemed as if they did not hear anything.
Some Drakes that were on bad terms with the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon were secretly laughing as they saw how enraged it was.
Yeap, seeing how tragic you are, I’m really too happy. I even ate an extra dozen of tonnes for lunch!
However, those Drakes had never expected that it was too early for them to be happy.
After two hours, Shen Tian and Qi Shaoxuan chose other targets and put in motion their guerrilla strategy.
While a certain King Kong Savage Dragon was out hunting, the hundreds of stalks of 1,000-year-old King Kong Glazed Grass were stolen; even the soil was not left behind.
The King Kong Glazed Grass was an unparalleled herb that could strengthen Godfiend cultivators’ physiques. It was best to use it during the Golden Body realm.
Just one pill made from such a herb could improve one’s physical strength greatly.
As for Godfiend cultivators, such a pill was priceless!
A certain Gold Sacred Dragon had only gone out on a stroll for a few minutes, but its lair—made of Light Spirit Gold and filled with Light Spirit Gold Ores—was directly taken away.
That was the Light Spirit Gold that the Gold Sacred Dragon had spent thousands of years to refine from the Light Spirit Gold Ores diligently.
Although its quality could not be compared with the Immortal Metals on the extraordinary item list, its amount was immense!
One had to know that the Gold Sacred Dragon was at least thousands of feet long, so its lair would be at least that size.
How much Light Spirit Gold was there?
It was enough to astound many sacred grounds.
If such a fortune was in Eastern Wilderness or Middle Ground, even a Sage would not be able to protect it.
Only in such an isolated land like Dragon Island could these supreme treasures be wasted like this, using the Light Spirit Gold to create one’s lair.
...
Frankly speaking, Qi Shaoxuan had never expected that Shen Tian could store the Light Spirit Gold.
Although the Gold Sacred Dragon did not know how to create artifacts, just the weight of this lair that was made of tonnes of Light Spirit Gold was enough for Soul Formation cultivators to turn pale from astonishment.
Not to mention that the lair was even connected with the Light Spirit Gold Ores, making it difficult to separate them.
Heavenly Venerables would find it challenging to accomplish such an admirable feat, but Shen Tian did it.
He used his Sky-Smashing Palm and directly split the dragon’s lair from the ores. The almost indestructible Light Spirit Gold was as weak as a jerry-built project in front of Shen Tian. It could not last in front of Shen Tian’s attacks.
When the Gold Sacred Dragon returned, what it saw was Shen Tian stuffing the last bit of the dragon lair into his storage ring before disappearing.
When Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu witnessed that, they looked at each other. They had completely acknowledged him from the bottom of their hearts.
Brother Shen really cannot be provoked or offended!
Not only was he invincible when fighting against those of the same cultivation level, but those that surpassed him by a stage would also suffer a crushing defeat.
More importantly, if he wanted to play dirty, no one could stop him.
If someone offended him, he didn’t even need to fight said person. He just needed to visit said person’s sect, and shortly after, the whole sect would be empty.
Also, Shen Tian could completely conceal his presence. Thus, as long as he lay low, it would be difficult for even a Sage to find him.
A person that was all-rounded, able to take damage, attack, stay alive, conceal his presence, and retreat, could only be befriended. Once one became his enemy, Shen Tian would definitely cause the person to have nightmares.
...
Afterward, Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu kept a low profile.
The reason was simple—the whole Dragon Island had become chaotic.
Powerful Drakes were crazily searching for the presence of intruders.
Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu did not have such a powerful presence-concealing ability like Shen Tian, so they could only stay in the cave. If they left the cave and lost the Presence Concealing Array’s protection, Qi Shaoxuan and Ao Wu believed that they would most likely become Shen Tian’s scapegoat.
Well, then they would be torn apart by the group of enraged Drakes.
On the other hand, Shen Tian did not have such worries. He was still exploring this island diligently every day.
Anyway, the furious Drakes were only at the Soul Formation (Mighty Prowess) stage. They might not be able to defeat Shen Tian if they really fought one-vs-one.
Even if Shen Tian was no match for those Drakes, he could just activate the Kun Peng Dao to escape. Even the Wind Lord Wyvern might not be able to chase after him.
Worse came to worse, he could directly go underground and conceal his presence, then stay low for a while.
Anyway, with enough aces up his sleeves, he could survive no matter what.
The only thing that Shen Tian found a shame was that Qi Shaoxuan did not dare to go out anymore, so his efficiency for finding treasures decreased by quite a bit. He could only depend completely on his luck to plunder the fortuitous opportunities on the island. Although he did obtain quite the amount of loots, it was still barely satisfactory.
It was because his halo was just red with spots of gold, so his providence was much weaker than those sheep that he fleeced wool from.
Forget it, it’s better than nothing, so let’s just steal them first!
Come on, Shen Tian, your dream life is created by your own hands. Cheer up!
After encouraging himself, Shen Tian continued to conceal his presence and went around Dragon Island.
Roar!
Roar!
Argh!
At that moment, the Drakes’ angered roars reverberated throughout the island.
Shen Tian slowly lifted his head and saw that a few huge Wyverns were flying in the distance.
Some of them were green and created tornadoes once they flapped their wings, slicing through the air.
Some others were gold and looked dignified.
They were Wind Lord Wyverns and Gold Sacred Dragons, a group of them!
Not only so, but the ground was also trembling. The huge trees were shaking, and the mountains were crumbling as humongous Drakes appeared.
Some were spitting out blazing flames, some were surrounded by lightning, and some had bodies that were as clear as diamonds and looked like they had an extremely powerful defense.
Evidently, none of those Drakes should have been provoked!
...
Is it possible they detected me?
Shen Tian’s heart skipped several beats, but that shouldn’t be the case. He had already concealed his presence and did not make much noise.
Yeap, it’s still better to be careful.
Shen Tian’s body emitted green light as he gradually entered the ground, and only his head was revealed.
If he noticed anything wrong, he could immediately go underground and escape.
Even if those Drakes really saw through his presence concealment, they would not be able to catch him!
After being on guard, Shen Tian’s ears moved slightly. He seemed to have heard another human crying for help.
“WTF!? Why are all these foul beasts chasing me?
“I only took a Tuber Fleeceflower from the Purple Lightning Tyrant Dragon territory. It’s just a 1,000-year-old Tuber Fleeceflower. Did you have to f*cking chase me for so many days and nights non-stop?
“One is not enough, so more and more are gathering? Are you Drakes all so united? It’s just a Tuber Fleeceflower, I’ll return it to you!
“I’ve already returned the Tuber Fleeceflower, why are you still chasing!? Do you really think I’m afraid of you foul beasts?
“If I were not afraid of reducing my lifespan, I’d definitely kill you all! Don’t force me!
“Even I’m afraid if I truly get angry!
“OMG! Is there someone here? Save me!
“Stop burning my buttocks!”
As the cry for help got closer and closer, a figure wearing white clothes appeared in front of Shen Tian shortly.
The handsome man’s clothes were as white as snow, and he was as good-looking as Qi Shaoxuan.
However, the strange thing was this handsome man had extremely dark eye circles.
Even pandas would feel inferior in front of him.
Also, dozens of fearsome Mighty Prowess Drakes were chasing after the white-clothed man. They were either attacking with their wings or their mouths.
Blazing flames, ice storms, tornadoes, lightning, light...
Shen Tian felt as if he was watching a 4D Hollywood blockbuster.
Meanwhile, although the man the Drakes chased looked weak, his performance at escaping made Shen Tian’s eyes lit up.
...
Although that man seemed to be in a sorry state, he was escaping safely. His escaping speed was extremely fast. It was obvious that he had learned an extremely powerful escaping skill, which could make his speed comparable to the Wind Lord Wyverns’.
One had to know that the Wind Lord Wyvern was a mutated beast that could control wind-attribute laws. Thus, even amongst Mighty Prowess Drakes, it was the best in terms of speed.
That man’s spiritual energy was unstable, so it was obvious that it was not long since he had reached the Nascent Soul stage. Thus, he was not in peak condition.
Even so, he could still stay alive despite being chased by the Wind Lord Wyverns.
Shen Tian being the exception, that fellow was the fastest at escaping amongst all the human prodigies that Shen Tian had encountered before.
More importantly, this guy seemed to be extremely proficient in space-type techniques. Each time those Drakes’ attacks were about to strike him, his body would turn into nothingness as if he had entered the void.
However, Shen Tian discovered that every time that guy transformed his body into nothingness, he would always seem to be exhausted.
Not only would he pant heavily, but he would also gulp down a large amount of nourishment medicine. His pair of dark circles... also seemed to have turned darker from before.
...
However, that was not the most important thing. What attracted Shen Tian’s attention the most was his head.
There was a purplish-gold halo hovering over that fellow’s head—it was not weaker than Qi Shaoxuan’s!
More importantly, the halo’s scenes of fortuitous opportunities moved Shen Tian to the extreme.
Shen Tian instantly made a decision.
For the sake of humanitarianism, he was going to save that fellow!
