Chapter 59: Seismic Fruit

Chapter 59: Seismic Fruit

Sheng Yi roared as he charged forwards, wanting to snatch Zi Lin’s corpse back, but he was promptly stopped by the people behind him.

He could only watch as the crowd tore apart her corpse in a frenzy, dragging it away piece by piece.

While the greed of these people wasn’t comparable to the insanity of the cultivators in the valley, it was still indescribably repulsive.

“No!”

Sheng Yi screamed hoarsely, his voice cracking.

Why did it come to this?

Why!

Zi Lin!

He wanted to cry in that instant, but he also wanted to laugh.

His expression was volatile, but ultimately, a savage expression remained on his face.

The clumsy cry Zi Lin screamed before her death didn’t lessen the hatred these people had towards Sheng Yi and duke Sheng, it only incited more mocking.

She had naively believed in the rationality and logicality of this world.

Sheng Yi’s hand grabbed at the air before him powerlessly, as if in doing so, he could bring Zi Lin back.

It was pointless.

No one cared as they continued to swing their weapons towards the people that protected Sheng Yi at his side.

“Kill Sheng Yi! He still has the treasures he obtained from the remnant on him!”Follow the latest novels at novelhall.com

“Die! Those are treasures of the Barren grade!”

“Quick! Attack!”

Sheng Yi seemed as though he could die at any moment.

Suddenly, the bellow from his father, Sheng Yi Fei, dragged him back into reality, “Die!”

The Three-legged Golden Toad under Sheng Yi Fei’s control unleashed its ultimate attack.

“Aurora Flame!”

Three beams of golden light shot out from the Three-legged Golden Toad’s mouth, aimed at the three great ancestors with a mighty aura accompanying the attack.

The Xue clan’s great ancestor controlled his Manifestation transformation with a snow-white complexion. In an instant, the weather started to change as snow fell from the skies, the freezing temperature causing the nearby people to tremble.

A beam shot from the ‘Snow Flower Wolf’s’ mouth as well, the pale blue light emitted a volatile resonance that clashed directly with the golden light coming it’s way.

“Frozen World!”

The great ancestor of the Wang clan responded similarly, he was seated on his Manifestation transformation, the ‘Thunderclap Eagle’. He placed his palms together and performed a ritual gesture at an incredibly fast speed.

A mass of electricity appeared in mid-air, glinting with light as though a struggling large beast in the air. With a powerful energy harnessed within it, hundreds of lightning bolts descended upon Sheng Yi Fei.

“Thunder Fall!”

Lastly, the Liu clan’s great ancestor that stood a distance away closed his eyes, coughing out a mouthful of blood as the flames on his Manifestation transformation, the ‘Flame Demon Ape King’, burned brighter.

Then, he was stunned.

A powerful energy came from the inside of the duke’s manor, the earth trembled as dust was kicked into the air.

“What is that?” Someone asked in fear.

There were also people starting to run away.

Regardlessly, no one knew what was happening in the manor.

The entire residence then exploded in the blink of an eye.

It wasn’t an explosion of flames and smoke, but an eruption that destroyed everything.

A formless power enveloped the area, reducing everything into dust.

There were more than a hundred servants in the manor and more than a hundred people from the four great clans that had rushed in.

But they were all gone.

They truly vanished, not leaving even a corpse.

“Father! Run!” Sheng Yi roared as his figure flickered, charging towards Sheng Yi Fei in an attempt to escape with him.

The entire area was chaotic, everyone was visibly horrified and flustered, scattering in all directions.

There were also some people that had circulated their spiritual powers to resist this invisible shockwave, but it was completely fultile. Those beneath the Manifestation realm couldn’t withstand its power.

Even Manifestation realm experts barely held on as they defended.

This was the last resort that Sheng Yi had prepared.

This was the lower Sky grade ‘Seismic Fruit’ he had obtained at a cliff using his past memories during his journey back with Zi Lin after meeting her in the remnant.

This fruit seemed ordinary, even with a touch, but when the ‘Seismic Crystal’ that was grown in the fruit was crushed within a one-mile range of the fruit......

The two would synergise and create a gigantic seismic wave that would implode in a one-mile range, destroying everything within with invisible shockwaves.

Anything that couldn’t block this attack would instantly be pulverised into fine dust, disappearing from this earth.

It was a great material that could be used to create a spiritual artifact, but also a great item that could be used as an explosive.

Sheng Yi had brought it back with the intention of using it in such a scenario where they were surrounded.

But he hadn’t expected himself to have used it so soon.

Luckily, there was nothing especially valuable in the duke’s manor, most of which were simply some silver and gold.

The most important items were stored away in Sheng Yi Fei’s bag of holding.

Sheng Yi quickly ran towards Sheng Yi Fei, anxiously shouting, “Father! Let’s leave now!”

But would the three great ancestors let them leave so easily?
