Chapter 409: Minghe's Action
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
A Spiritual Treasure of Chaos at the Highest Grade was not a usual Magic Weapon. Even only two of the five Cultivators at the Peak of the Fate Realm had one. Therefore, when Minghe suddenly took out one, he had to attract the others' attention. They even intended to give up on the Fruits of Stars of the Origin, and instead, planned to steal that Highest Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos.
However, they tried to control their impulsions. They knew that a Highest Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos was precious, but not everyone could own one. Otherwise, the three of them could also have one. In addition to having a profound background, one needed to refine one by himself or meet with some Fated Chance so that he could own one.
Being only at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm, Minghe could own a Spiritual Treasure of Chaos at the Highest Grade, which could have been given to him by an elder. It was not likely that he could refine it by himself, neither was meeting with a Fated Chance likely. If it was given to him by elders, it was desperately serious. The one who could hand out a Highest Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos to his younger generation had to be at the Half Step to the Supreme Realm or Peak of the Fate Realm at least. And if someone was hiding around to protect Minghe, they might go out for wool and come home shorn.
Be that as it may, there had to be someone who was willing to take the risk for those valuable treasures. One of the five Cultivators took action directly toward Minghe, some were also eager to do something, and some planned to wait for the right moment. This even attracted the Cultivators at the Peak of the Fate Realm. They would not miss any opportunity.
Minghe would not let them hurt him, swinging his Anti-evil Axe several times with a few powerful streaks of light shooting at that Cultivator. The latter one reacted immediately. Though Minghe was only at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm, his Anti-evil Axe was a real Spiritual Treasure of Chaos of the Highest Grade and its power was unique and unstoppable.
That Cultivator activated his treasures immediately to resist the light of the axe. But he did not notice there was a slight wave behind him. A space door opened suddenly and a huge claw stretched out toward him. When he realized the danger, it was too late. With just a few breaths, he died and then went on Yellow Spring Road.
His efficient action made everyone present shocked. Could it be said that the Cultivators at the Fate Realm were that easy to kill? Even a Cultivator at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm could kill one. It was unbelievable. Though he did not rely on his own strength, the result was obvious, and the death of that Cultivator was like a bucket of cold water that extinguished their greed. They had already given up on their desires to steal the Anti-evil Axe.
Though the giant beast only showed up for a few seconds, they realized that Minghe was dangerous and mysterious. The Highest Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos, the Law of Space, and that Separation Beast at the Peak of the Fate Realm all made everyone there stunned. Nobody dared to covet Minghe's treasures, nor did the five Cultivators at the Peak of the Fate Realm.
Anyone who could refine a Chaotic Ominous Beast at the Peak of the Fate Realm into a Separation Beast had to be an expert at the Peak of the Fate Realm at least. Besides that, anyone who could give a Separation Beast to his younger generation had to be an even tougher guy. With this Separation Beast, Minghe already had enough force to fight against them, let alone that they did not know if he had some other cards in his hand.
Noticing this situation, Hongjun was a little bit shocked. He did not believe that this Separation Beast that suddenly appeared was the only card in Minghe's hand. Knowing Minghe's character, he would not expose his best card so easily.
Since that was the case, Hongjun would not be willing to wait. He said in a light voice, "Minghe, let's do it." Then, he rushed out first. Hearing his words, Minghe was struck dumb for a second and then followed him. Though he did not know why Hongjun started taking action at this moment, he had to take a corresponding action.
The action of Minghe and Hongjun shocked everyone there. They did not expect that the two of them would intend to get the last two Fruits of Stars of the Origin, while the other 15 Cultivators at the Peak of the Fate Realm also planned to get the two fruits. Therefore, the rushing action of those two astonished everyone.
At the same time, someone also congratulated himself because he did not attack Minghe just now. Otherwise, he would have been killed like that dead Cultivator. Minghe and Hongjun could fight against the Cultivators at the Peak of the Fate Realm. And it was obvious that those two had not taken out their best cards yet. Otherwise, they would not have dared to rush out directly.
The Starry Sky Giant Beasts and the five experts at the Peak of the Fate Realm were all shocked as they did not expect that those two would dare to steal the last two Fruits of Stars of the Origin with them. Anger, extreme anger filled their minds. It was a provocation from someone weaker to an expert, so they became enraged.
They did not plan to provoke Minghe because they could not be fully guaranteed to win. But now, since Minghe started to attack them directly, they would not be polite. After all, they were experts at the Peak of the Fate Realm, so they would not be afraid of anyone's provocation. They would not care even if they knew he might have a profound background.
In order to get the two Fruits of Stars of the Origin, Minghe and Hongjun needed to at least temporarily beat back the five Cultivators and 10 beasts in front of them. However, it would not easy to beat them back or resist their attacks even if Minghe activated his Four-pole Separation Evil Formation.
Suddenly, Minghe looked at Hongjun, who arrived at the Star Tree of Origin first, and his eyes turned abstruse. Since Hongjun had taken action, he had to have more cards in his hand. Minghe was curious about Hongjun's plan. It was not easy to strive for some time to get the Fruits of Stars of the Origin.
When Minghe was guessing what Hongjun intended to do, the latter was starting his action. He took out his Universal Life and Death Chess again, covering the five Cultivators and 10 beasts. Hongjun and Minghe were outside the formation, and Hongjun said in a hurry, "Minghe, go and get the fruits quickly. This formation won't last long."
Inside the formation, the five Cultivators and 10 beasts all were enraged. They did not expect that Hongjun initiated this formation to waste their time. Although the Universal Life and Death Chess Formation was mysterious, they could break it in a second if they joined hands. However, when they were inside the formation, they thought highly of themselves. Numerous puppets rushed toward them, with some of them even being at the Peak of the Fate Realm.
Minghe took a look at the situation inside the formation and a light flashed by his eyes. Without any hesitation, Minghe activated his supernatural power and got the last Fruits of Stars of the Origin. However, Minghe did not feel happy, but a strong sense of crisis overcame him. It seemed that some fatal danger would come soon. What the hell was it?
Looking at Hongjun, Minghe suddenly discovered that Hongjun's face was full of smiles and he did not care about the breaking formation, but went to the Star Tree of the Origin alone. Hongjun stretched out his hand and a glittering and translucent sword appeared in his hand. He read a formula: "Time is like a blade, fading away fast. This branch is destined for me. My Fated Sword can cut off everything. Cut it off!"
Shocked! Everyone there was shocked. They had not expected for Hongjun's target to be a branch of the Star Tree of the Origin. In their eyes, this behavior was just courting death. Many Cultivators had tried this before, but no one had lived.
But Minghe saw it clearly and he had not expected that Hongjun had mastered both the Law of Time and Fate. This also proved what Minghe had thought before that Hongjun did not plan to steal the Fruits of Stars of the Origin, but a branch of the Star Tree of Origin.
Hongjun was experienced and astute indeed. The power of time could wear down taboos, while the Law of Fate judged that the branch of the Star Tree of the Origin was related to his fate. Then, he would activate his power of fate to cut off a branch. The sword in his hand was also unique, which was a Half Chaotic Supreme Treasure. It was full of the power of fate, which had to be the real card in his hand.
Only if he could get a branch of the Star Tree of Origin could he grow the same one, even though it could take a long time and needed quite a lot of treasures to foster it. But if he did make it, it would be really valuable even when he reached the High Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. After all, the Fruits of Stars of the Origin originally came from the primary stars of Heaven in the High Layer of the Battlefield of Gods and Demons.
In a flash, the Power of Time had worn down the Restricting Power, but it seemed that more than 100 million years had passed by. Right at that moment, Hongjun waved his sword suddenly. "Crack!" A branch was cut off. It had to be the first time that this Star Tree of the Origin had a branch cut off. Following that, horrible restricting attacks came from the Star Tree of the Origin.
When this powerful Restricting Power rushed toward Hongjun, he was not in a hurry, but he formed a Taoist Seal in his hand. He read a formula: "Based on the aura, fate is my wheel. Move!" As his words were completed, the Restricting Power that attacked Hongjun originally almost turned to the other Cultivators, but only little part moved toward Hongjun.
Most of the Restricting Power was divided into hundreds of pieces, rushing toward all the Cultivators, including the five Cultivators and 10 beasts. Of course, Minghe was one of them—he even received the biggest part. It was the time of life and death.
