As soon as he stepped into the Heaven Ruin Temple.
Countless cries, screams, and laughter converged into a wave, sweeping over with boundless killing intent. It was as if he had entered the most tragic place in the world.
If one's Dao Heart was not stable and his will was not strong enough, the terrifying sound alone could affect the consciousness of a Ultimate God Realm expert and even cause his will to collapse.
Su Fang's heart skipped a beat and he guarded his mind.
The scenery in front of him changed drastically.
What he could see with his perfect vision was an endless stretch of ruins. There were also some broken walls and standing statues.
The sky was gloomy and the atmosphere in the space was oppressive and suffocating.
Dust and debris floated in the space of the world.
The shackles of the world were shocking. Even with Su Fang's cultivation of the Fourth Heaven of Dao Reunion Realm, he felt heavy pressure.
After merging with the Heavenly Way, a True God could even ignore the shackles of time and space.
However, he was shackled by the world and felt like a weakling in the Heavenly God Realm.
He looked at the others.
Only Di Yuan, Chu Bingyan, Qian Gang, and Yi Luoyang were slightly better.
Luo Xingtian and the other geniuses below the Earth Realm were all pale and their divine bodies were trembling. Although they could still bear it, they seemed to be struggling.
Su Fang used his Perfect Vision and activated the Purple Cloud Dharma Spirit at the same time. Purple light flickered in his eyes and the scenery in the distance gradually became clear. He could vaguely see the tall walls.
"This is only the edge of the inner world of the Heaven Ruin Temple. The Prison Suppression Codex must be in the main palace inside the walls."
Su Fangda walked toward the walls in the distance.
Before coming to the Heaven Ruin Temple, Su Fang asked Cang Yan Hai to find out everything about the Heaven Ruin Temple.
Someone had entered the inner world of the Heaven Ruin Temple before, but they did not enter the space inside the walls. They only searched for treasures at the edge.
The real danger was the area inside the walls. However, the edge was not safe either. If one was unlucky, he or she would lose his or her life.
Luo Xingtian looked at Su Fang's back and smiled viciously. He then walked toward the ruins on the right.
"Since Luo Xingtian dares to challenge Su Fang, he must know something about the Heaven Ruin Temple. Following him will be the right choice."
Yi Luoyang and the other geniuses followed closely behind Luo Xingtian.
Di Yuan, Chu Bingyan, and Qian Gang strode forward. Of course, they knew that Luo Xingtian had something to rely on. However, they disdained to be associated with him. These heavenly realm geniuses had their own pride.
Under normal circumstances, Su Fang would have been able to reach the tall walls in a few seconds. However, at the edge of the Heavenly Ruins Temple, even Dao Integration Stage True Gods could not merge with the Heavenly Dao and travel through the void. They could only fly at a speed similar to Divine Emperor True Gods.
Moreover, the higher the altitude, the more frightening the shackles were. Not only was there the power of the shackles, but there was also the power of the Heavenly Punishment, which made Su Fang tremble with fear.
Su Fangceng tried to control a flying sword. The higher it went, the slower it became. When it reached a height of 100 zhang in the air, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere and struck the flying sword. In an instant, the flying sword was reduced to ashes.
He used his All-Seeing Eye and saw that the void was filled with Heavenly Scars, which intertwined to form a huge enchantment. Its power was enough to threaten a Peak Lord God.
Moreover, there was a mysterious power that suppressed and restrained True Gods in the world of the Heavenly Ruins Temple. Su Fang estimated that even Emperor True Gods would be suppressed.
Su Fang had no choice but to fly slowly, sticking close to the ground.
As he continued to go deeper, Su Fang saw traces of battle on the ground. Occasionally, he would see fresh blood and corpses of True Gods, indicating that the outer area of the Heavenly Ruins Temple was not very peaceful.
He passed by a piece of broken wall.
A big tree stood there alone.
The tree was only a hundred feet tall and its trunk was almost dead. There was only a branch left without any leaves. There was a fist-sized fruit hanging from the branch. It was brownish-red, as if it was condensed from a ball of dried blood.
When he used his Great Perfection ability to sense the fruit, he could sense an astonishing life force and an extremely evil aura from it. There was also a mysterious power that was somewhat similar to destiny.
"What kind of tree is this? How can it bear a fruit that contains such astonishing life force and evil aura? What is that power that is similar to destiny? "
Su Fang was surprised.
Su Fang did not dare to act rashly. He stopped about a hundred feet away from the tree.
There were more than a dozen corpses around the tree. Some belonged to True Gods, and some belonged to Big Goblin. All of them were dried up, leaving only a piece of skin.
From the clothes of these corpses, he could tell that these True Gods and Big Goblin had entered the Heavenly Ruins Temple to search for treasures after it appeared. No one knew what they encountered and died here.
Su Fang's eyes lit up. "This fruit contains such astonishing life force. It can be used to cultivate the Blue Sky Underworld. It can also be used for Gui Gui to devour …"
At this moment, Di Yuan, Chu Bingyan, and Qian Gang caught up from behind.
Seeing this strange tree, the three of them were not surprised at all.
Qian Gang said, "This blood fruit does not look evil. Buddhist cultivators take it as their duty to purify evil spirits. They asked me to purify it …"
Chu Bingyan sneered, "You want to exchange it for merit points, don't you?"
Qian Gang said eloquently, "A gentleman loves wealth and obtains it in a proper way. I want to exchange it for Buddhist cultivation techniques and strengthen Buddhism, not for my own greed."
Su Fang had never interacted with Qian Gang before. He did not expect this Buddhist cultivator to be so similar to the monk Shang De. He could not help but look at Qian Gang a few more times.
Di Yuan said calmly, "If you don't want to die, I advise you not to have any ideas about this blood fruit."
"Why is that?"
Qian Gang looked at Di Yuan in surprise.
"This tree that is about to wither is called the Punishment Wood. In ancient times, there was this kind of Punishment Wood in the prisons that sealed the strong cultivators. Those who were judged guilty would have their blood sucked dry by the Punishment Wood."
"The blood fruit you see is called the Fruit of Sin. It is condensed from the blood of cultivators or Big Goblin. The Fruit of Sin is useless to Gods. Only some Evil Path and Demonic Path cultivators are useful. There are also Asuras. The Fruit of Sin is the supreme divine item that Asuras cultivate. "
"Ordinary Punishment Wood is only three to four feet tall. The tallest one is no more than ten feet tall. However, this one is more than ten feet tall. Who knows how many lives it has devoured. "
"If you don't want to die, it's best not to touch it. Even an Overgod would find it difficult to deal with this Fruit of Sin. Moreover, even an Overgod's strength would be shackled here."
Di Yuan's words sent chills down Su Fang and the others' spines.
Qian Gang's face turned pale. "Since this thing is called the Punishment Wood, it is not something evil. I won't purify it anymore."
Qian Gang's words attracted another round of mockery from Chu Bingyan.
Di Yuan and the others continued to advance toward the wall.
Su Fang glanced at the Punishment Wood. Although he was unwilling, there was nothing he could do.
Just as he was about to enter the depths of the Heaven Ruin Temple, the Origin Sacred Mirror in the Heaven and Earth Dao Palace suddenly emitted an extremely cold Qi.
Shu Wanzhen's voice came from it. "Su Fang, you have to find a way to get the Fruit of Sin and the corpses that have been devoured by the Punishment Wood."
"Senior Sister, why are you here?"
"The Heaven Ruin Temple is a dangerous place outside the Advent Palace. How can I be at ease when you enter it? After all, I have entered some ruins and relics outside the Advent Palace before. I know many things that ordinary people don't know. I can give you some pointers. "
Su Fang felt warmth in his heart. "Thank you, Senior Sister."
"I once obtained a cultivation note left behind by an expert that surpassed the Primordial Era in a side hall outside the Advent Palace. In the note, one thing was recorded, and it was about the Punishment Wood."
"After the Punishment Wood devoured the life and blood of Gods and Big Goblin, the Punishment Wood condensed into a Fruit of Sin that contains life essence and a mysterious power of karma. It can cleanse the karma brought about by killing."
"Why is it that although the Demon Race, Big Goblin, and other evil existences can increase their strength quickly, it is difficult for them to reach the peak of the Heaven Dao?"
"It is because karma exists in the unseen world. The more one kills, the greater the shackles and the greater the rejection from the Heaven Dao. Hence, it is difficult for one to reach the peak. This is karma."
"The Punishment Fruit can cleanse the karma of evil existences, which means that one can reach the peak in the future. Moreover, this Punishment Wood is extraordinary. It is actually 30 meters tall. The Heaven Ruin Temple is indeed not simple. "
"The Punishment Fruit is condensed from blood and Qi. It is even more effective for Asura experts. In that expert's notes, there was once an Asura King who didn't hesitate to pay any price to break into a prison that was used to suppress experts in order to obtain the fruit of sin. In the end, he was suppressed and devoured by the Punishment Wood. "
"If your Asura God Race friend devours such a Punishment Fruit of Sin, his future achievements will be limitless. He may even surpass Senior Asura and reach the peak that Asura has never reached."
Su Fang decisively made a decision. "Since it is so useful to Asura, we must get this Blood Fruit no matter what."
Then he asked, "What are the effects of those corpses?"
"Some effects, but they are not as good as the Punishment Fruit."
Shu Wanzhen explained again.
"According to the expert's note, the Gods or Big Goblin that were killed by the Punishment Wood only have a layer of skin left. They are often made into puppets and used as prison guards."
"If you combine the skin that was devoured by the Punishment Wood with a bit of the Life Essence of the Punishment Fruit, you can turn into the appearance of the person when they were alive. Not only the appearance, but even the aura will be exactly the same. Even the aura of fate will be changed."
Su Fang said happily, "There is such a magical effect?"
Shu Wanzhen warned, "You must not be careless. The Punishment Wood is not an ordinary spiritual item. It is a divine wood that can kill experts."
"Senior Sister, you forgot that I have a heaven-defying divine ability that can seize the fortune of heaven and earth, the Heaven Secret Life Shrinking Technique!"
