CHAPTER 1701: CHAPTER 1701
Go back the way we came
"Let's rest here for a while."
Although the Human Demon wanted to go back and snatch the Qilin Fruit, he wasn't so impulsive as to rush back immediately.
After all, the human demon's strength wasn't at its peak.
Demons that were not at their peak would not be able to use their trump cards.
The Human Demon was well aware that as long as he couldn't use his trump card, then even if he returned, he was doomed to fail to compete for the Qilin Fruit.
After warning Ning Yue, the Human Demon sat cross-legged on the ground, took out an Immortal Crystal, and began devouring it.
Back then, the brocade-robed cultivator did not hesitate to take out 50 immortal crystals in order to keep the Human Demon.
From the looks of it, it was fortunate that the embroidered robed cultivator had taken out the fifty Immortal Crystals. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the Human-Demon to recover to his peak state in a short time.
"Could it be that Human Demon wants to kill his way back?"
The human demon's actions caused Ning Yue to frown slightly. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.
If the Human Demon wanted to leave, he would have already left the Qilin Cave.
Since the Human Demon hadn't left, that meant he was still brooding over the kirin fruit and wanted to kill his way back.
"Forget it. I'd better recuperate as soon as possible."
Ning Yue couldn't do anything about the Human Demon's actions.
In any case, the fact that Human Demon was going to kill his way back was already a foregone conclusion. What Ning Yue needed to worry about was his condition.
If he could adjust his mental state to its peak before killing his way back, he would have a higher chance of survival.
Taking out a saint grade Origin Crystal from his storage ring, Ning Yue circulated his Spirit Transformation Technique to the maximum and began his journey of recovery.
Ning Yue's recuperation was different from that of the demonic humans.
The Human Demon simply wanted to recover to his peak, while Ning Yue wanted to take another step forward and reach the Quasi-Heavenly Sovereign Realm!
Only Ning Yue would dare to do such a crazy thing.
If it was anyone else, they would not dare to take the risk.
Going from the Ninth Grade Earth Sovereign Realm to the Quasi-Heavenly Sovereign Realm might seem like half a level, but it was a huge leap.
One was an Earth Supreme, the other a Sky Supreme.
With Ning Yue's current strength, he could contend with a late-stage Sky Supreme.
According to Ning Yue's estimation, if he could reach the Quasi-Heavenly Sovereign Realm, then he could even confront a Pinnacle Heavenly Sovereign.
Therefore, this risk was completely worth it!
…
While Ning Yue and the Human Devil were recuperating …
In the deepest depths of the Qilin Cave, beneath the Qilin Tree.
Buzz!
The void trembled, and an old man in gray robes quietly appeared.
After the grey-robed elder appeared, he first set up a small formation around the Qilin Tree, then stomped his feet heavily on the ground.
Kacha! Kacha!
The ground suddenly split open, and a huge corpse slowly rose from the crack.
The Qilin's corpse!
If Ning Yue and the human demon were here, they would have noticed that the corpse that rose from the crack was the Qilin's corpse!
"Kirin fruit."
The gray-clothed old man stared at the four Kirin Fruits and his lips curved up in an unnatural smile.
In order to cultivate four matured Kirin Fruits, the gray-clothed old man had searched almost all the small planes and plundered more than a dozen Qilin corpses.
The reason why the gray-clothed old man had chosen to cultivate the Kirin Fruits in the Immortal Spirit Realm was because the plane barrier there was slightly loosened, allowing him to unleash the strength of a Sage.
In other small planes, the plane barrier was still intact, so he could only unleash the strength of an early-stage Sage.
To be on the safe side, the gray-clothed old man had to choose the Immortal Spirit Realm.
"Go!"
The gray-clothed old man stared at the first Qilin corpse, then shook his head and controlled the corpse to fly toward the Qilin Tree.
Rumble!
While flying, the Qilin corpse suddenly exploded. Countless pieces of flesh flew everywhere and entered the Qilin Tree.
Bang!
As soon as the Qilin corpse entered the Qilin Tree, one of the Qilin Fruits let out a dull sound.
This muffled sound signified that the Qilin Fruit was beginning to reach its final stage of ripening!
"Again!"
Seeing that the first Qilin corpse was effective, the gray-clothed old man took out another Qilin corpse from the crack and used the same method to force it into the Qilin Tree.
Bang!
What happened next was more or less the same.
Every time a Qilin corpse was thrown into the Qilin Tree, a Qilin Fruit would let out a dull sound.
After throwing seven or eight Qilin corpses into the Qilin Tree, the gray-clothed old man finally stopped to rest.
To be honest, although the gray-clothed old man had thrown the Qilin corpse into the Qilin Tree with ease, he was extremely nervous.
At this time, he could not be disturbed by others, or all his efforts would be in vain!
"As long as I throw the remaining eight Qilin corpses into the Qilin Tree, the four Qilin Fruits will be fully mature!"
The gray-clothed old man did not dare to relax. He rested for three minutes and then immediately began to work.
Bang!
As time went on.
One by one, the corpses were thrown into the Qilin Tree. After being transformed by the Qilin Tree, all of them flowed into the Qilin Fruits.
"Go!"
In the blink of an eye, the sixteenth corpse appeared from the crack and flew toward the Qilin Tree.
"This is the last one!"
Seeing the Qilin corpse flying toward the Qilin Tree, the gray-clothed old man's face was filled with joy.
He had spent so much time and did not hesitate to descend from a high-level realm just for the four Qilin Fruits.
Now that success was right in front of him, how could he not be excited?
Whoosh!
However, the gray-clothed old man's excitement was a little premature.
Before the last Qilin corpse could explode, the stone wall in the distance suddenly cracked.
Two figures appeared in the gray-clothed old man's sight.
"As expected!"
As soon as they appeared, the Human Demon glared at the gray-clothed old man and said coldly, "Due to the suppression of the realm barrier, you can only unleash the strength of a Perfected Sage for now."
"You guys again!"
The gray-clothed old man clenched his fists when he saw the Human Demon and Ning Yue. The anger on his face became more and more obvious.
"If I knew that you guys were so arrogant, I would have killed you guys just now!"
"You want to kill us?" The Human Demon's lips curled up and he said disdainfully, "If you were confident that you could kill us, you would have done it long ago. You definitely wouldn't have let us leave."
The Human Demon had seen through everything.
Although the gray-clothed old man could unleash the strength of a Perfected Sage, he was wary of the Human Demon's trump card, so he did not make a move earlier.
After all, the gray-clothed old man's main goal was to obtain the Qilin Fruits, not to take risks.
"Just you wait!"
The gray-clothed old man glared at the Human Demon. Then, with a thought, he controlled the last Qilin corpse and made it explode.
Rumble!
The sixteenth Qilin corpse was the largest one. Its explosion was extremely terrifying.
Fortunately, the gray-clothed old man had a backup plan. Even if he sent the fragments of the explosion into the Qilin Tree, it was very likely that all his efforts would have been in vain!
Phew!
After sending the last Qilin corpse into the Qilin Tree, the gray-clothed old man could not help but let out a long breath.
