Jianchen, Ruijin, and the others had already stayed in the depths of the Death Nest for three whole days. During those three days, they moved about in an extremely low-key manner, avoiding the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor as much as possible. They did their best to preserve their strength for the final battle.
During that time, Jianchen's group came across the vengeful spirit of Gustys once again. It engaged in an intense battle with Honglian, but unfortunately, it was completely suppressed by Honglian's flames. In the end, it was chased away by Honglian's Scorching Godfire Hairpin.
Even with that being the case, Gustys' strength still amazed Ruijin and the others.
If it were not for the origin energy treasure, they would not have been able to do anything to Gustys. They might not even have been his opponent.
During those three days, Jianchen's group had already traversed half of the third floor, but they still failed to find any traces of the Saints' Fruit. However, they did find a few shattered Space Rings, but unfortunately, they had all been destroyed, so they did not find anything.
Just as Jianchen's group passed over a small mountain, their eyes suddenly narrowed. They basically looked in the same direction at the same time.
A faint, colorful light flickered in the churning black mist before them. It was extremely weak, but it was extremely dazzling in the mist.
The eyes of Jianchen's group all shone brightly. They stared at the colorful light that flickered in the mist from time to time. This was the first time they had seen another type of light after coming to the Death Nest.
Without needing anyone to call out to them, they all made their way to where the colorful light had appeared. They were all filled with caution.
As they got closer, the colorful light that flashed from time to time in the black fog became brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling. In the end, they finally discovered what the colorful light was.
A small tree that was only as tall as a person stood there all by itself. It shone with a dazzling, five-colored light that enveloped a radius of a thousand meters. The Yin Qi and the grudges of the dead were unable to reach it, as if it had formed an independent space.
There were nine leaves on the small tree. Every single one of them shone with a hazy glow, which was quite pretty. The nine leaves seemed like nine petals, holding a fist-sized fruit at the center. The fruit was completely red, but it shone with a rainbow light. Vaguely, a profound presence seemed to be hidden within the fruit, containing the truths of the world.
"The Saints' Fruit. This should be the Saints' Fruit!" Jianchen cried out. He was extremely excited. After so many twists and turns, he had finally seen the legendary Saints' Fruit in the Death Nest.
"What a wondrous fruit. It's actually growing in the Death Nest that's filled with Yin Qi," Black Fish also sighed in amazement. He found it rather unbelievable.
The Saints' Fruit seemed to be filled with holiness. Logically speaking, a fruit like that should have grown in a blessed land filled with spiritual energy, yet it had grown in the gloomy Death Nest. This was indeed very unbelievable, almost going against common sense.
"Mo Tianyun used the corpses of countless experts from ancient times to create the Death Nest. He used his ability to draw out the essence from the corpses to form this wondrous fruit. What a great method," Ruijin murmured. He was filled with admiration for Mo Tianyun.
"More accurately speaking, the Saints' Fruit was created from the essence and essence blood of those experts. It was originally an extremely evil fruit, yet it seems so divine, as if it really is a Saint's Fruit."
"I understand now. Mo Tianyun really is someone with great abilities. He can actually reverse yin and yang. He's using the mysteries of how things can only move in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme. He's using his supreme ability to change the world and nullify the evil energy within the Saints' Fruit, turning the evil fruit into a true Saints' Fruit. It possesses heaven-defying effects and can assist people in breaking through to the level of Holy Emperor." Honglian said as she stared at the fruit in front of her. Her eyes were filled with shock.
Ruijin's eyes had already become golden. Two beams of golden light shone from his eyes as he constantly scanned the surroundings. He had already used a secret technique of the Dragon clan.
"Has Mo Tianyun used such a large hand to create this place of despair just to grow the Saints' Fruit?" Ruijin softly murmured.
Flames leapt about in Honglian's eyes as well. She also used a secret technique of the Phoenix clan to observe the surroundings. She gradually frowned and said, "On the surface, the Death Nest does seem to exist to grow the Saints' Fruit, but from what I've seen, the uses of the Death Nest are definitely not as simple as they seem."
Black Fish and Jianchen also frowned when they heard what the two of them had said. They originally believed that the Death Nest existed to grow the Saints' Fruit, but only after hearing what Ruijin and Honglian had said did they understand that the Death Nest's existence was probably not as simple as just growing the Saints' Fruit.
"Why did Mo Tianyun create this place? What is he trying to do? And what is the deeper purpose of the Death Nest? " Ruijin murmured. The golden light in his eyes had vanished, revealing a pair of spirited eyes. However, they were now filled with great curiosity.
Honglian also stopped using her secret technique. She said, "Mo Tianyun really is worthy of being the greatest human expert in the past. I can't see through this place even with the secret technique of the Phoenix clan."
"Hmm? The Saints' Fruit has gained another color. It has six colors now," Jianchen suddenly said.
Everyone gathered their gazes on the Saints' Fruit once more. Indeed, they discovered that an additional color had appeared on the nine leaves, becoming six colors. However, the fruit was still seven colors.
With the addition of one more color, the light from the Saints' Fruit became even more intense. It expanded from a thousand meters to a thousand and five hundred meters. At the same time, it gave off a unique fragrance. With a single whiff, the minds of the four of them were shaken, and they felt refreshed from their souls.
The fragrance from the fruit drifted into the distance, actually attracting the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor in the surroundings. Very soon, several demonic figures walked over from afar, directly entering the region enveloped by the light. In the end, they all sat down a hundred meters away from the fruit and began to cultivate.
The multicolored light from the fruit did not harm the vengeful spirits, but after absorbing the fragrance from the fruit, their illusionary bodies became even more solid. They had benefited greatly from the fruit.
The fragrance from the fruit drifted very far away, attracting many vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor. Before long, more and more Holy Emperor vengeful spirits hurried over from all directions, causing more and more vengeful spirits to gather.
Jianchen and the others all revealed ugly expressions. With so many Holy Emperor vengeful spirits gathered here, it would without a doubt increase the difficulty of collecting the fruit.
"Let's retreat and preserve our strength. It's best if we don't come into conflict with these vengeful spirits," Ruijin said to the others through a communication technique, and they immediately retreated silently.
However, just when they had retreated several dozen meters, three Holy Emperor vengeful spirits appeared before them, blocking their path.
"Oh no!" Jianchen's heart sank. The three vengeful spirits had already discovered the five of them, so they could not avoid them.
Neither side said anything. The three Holy Emperor vengeful spirits attacked first. They created a great disturbance, causing the endless vile energies in the Death Nest to churn violently.
Ruijin, Black Fish, and Honglian went up to receive the vengeful spirits. They all drew their three treasures and launched thunderous attacks in an attempt to deal with the three vengeful spirits as quickly as possible.
The three Holy Emperor vengeful spirits were not the opponents of Ruijin, Hei Yu, and Hei Yu. They dispersed several times very quickly, unable to display their strength before origin energy weapons.
Ruijin and the others were not very far from the Saints' Fruit. Attracted by the fruit, the region had basically become where the vengeful spirits of the Holy Emperor gathered. The sounds of their battle alerted the other vengeful spirits very quickly, including the vengeful spirits cultivating near the fruit.
