Chapter 482: Who Dares Compete with Me!?

In the core area of the Sea-Blue Abyss.

This region's terrain was quite complex and had towering mountains, deep valleys, and streams flowing through it. However, everything here was a strange black color, shrouded in toxic mist that emitted a strong, evil stench. These poisonous gasses constantly tried to penetrate the protective elemental qi of the cultivators, eroding their vitality.

In the short term, it was manageable, but over time, it became a significant burden, as every moment spent here required a portion of one's elemental force to resist the toxins.

Fortunately, Ling Feng had prepared some detoxification pills, which kept in his mouth, rendering him almost immune to the poisonous miasma.

As for the black donkey...

It didn't seem to have such concerns.

"One more day of searching. If we still can't find it, we'll have to give up," Ling Feng said, clenching his fist and having made up his mind.

He had too many things to do and couldn't afford to waste any more time in the Sea-Blue Abyss.

After walking for about half a day, the sun began to set, and Ling Feng was almost ready to give up on the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit.

Grumble!

Just then, he heard muffled sounds from beneath the ground. Suddenly, the ground within a radius of several hundred li[1] began to shake. A voice shouted from a distance, "The Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit has appeared!"

Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately sprang into action, rushing towards the source of the commotion. At the same time, nearly everyone who had entered the core area of the Sea-Blue Abyss began to move.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

One figure after another shot out like lightning. Along the way, Ling Feng saw many people flying past. Some of them were elderly and exuded incredibly terrifying auras that gave Ling Feng chills. Such old monsters were definitely not something he could contend with.

In an instant, at least a hundred people had flown over from all directions. The allure of the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit was indeed unparalleled.

The place where the loud noise had erupted from was a large flatland, surrounded by desolation. The soil had turned pitch black from years of exposure to the toxic mists.

Ling Feng scanned the area and saw two old men with astonishing auras confronting each other in the center of the flatland. Between them floated a golden-yellow plant.

The chaotic battle didn't last long. By now, only four people remained in the core battlefield, each exuding an astonishing aura. They were all experts above the fifth-refinement of soul manifestation.

At that moment, a blue figure streaked across the western sky, wielding a profound cyan sword and slashing down at the four top experts on the battlefield.

The power of the sword was such that the four experts, despite their strength, didn't dare face it head-on and retreated to look warily at the source of the sword qi.

Ling Feng's eyes twitched as he looked at the blue figure. In a few blinks of an eye, a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties or forties had flown in. This man stood in the air, sword in hand, while surrounded by a faint green glow and looking like a god descended to earth. He appeared to be utterly unstoppable.

"Who dares compete with me!?"

The green-robed man shouted arrogantly, his figure flashing as he landed beside the four fifth-level Spiritual Element Realm experts. His terrifying power erupted as he tried to take the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit by himself.

"Uh... Who is this!?"

"He can't be from a second or third-rate sect!"

"It seems there's no secret that can stay hidden. News of the Nine-Mystical Creation Fruit in the Sea-Blue Abyss must have been leaked!"

"This man must be an expert from one of the great families in the imperial capital!"

Soon, people speculated that the green-robed man was likely from a powerful family in the imperial capital, given his formidable strength.

"Hmph, I am Liu Chengjun, the second head of the Liu family in the imperial capital! You all better retreat now!"

Liu Chengjun's gaze swept over the crowd, and a palpable killing intent made everyone shiver.

Ling Feng rubbed his nose, looking at this uninvited guest with interest while muttering, "The Liu family of the imperial capital?"

He actually had some enmity with the Liu family. There was a young member named Liu Shengjie whom Ling Feng had once helped become infertile.
