Although Chu Li felt guilty, he could only hold on. He could not give up the Nine Colored Fruit for no reason. He could only rely on the Nine Colored Fruit to improve the Heavenly Spirit Scripture. If he lost this opportunity, he did not know when he would be able to improve again.
This time, the little Vermillion Bird helped him by working with a few spirit beasts to ripen the Nine Colored Fruit. It seemed like it was specially given to him, but he could not get it. He might not have this opportunity next time, so he had to fight for it.
He made up his mind and no longer cared about the other three spirit beasts. He saw the other spirit beasts approaching and had already formed a second circle. There were eight spirit beasts in total, occupying eight positions and not disturbing each other.
Chu Li's heart trembled, but he could only watch.
Formations could not be set up in Sky Piercing Peak, so he could only rely on his own martial arts.
If he made the first move, the spirit beasts would definitely unite against him and he would become the target of public criticism. He would no longer have the chance to get the Nine Colored Fruit.
Time passed slowly, but the Nine Colored Fruit still had nine colors.
There were more and more spirit beasts, and they were all supreme spirit beasts. Chu Li was shocked that there were so many supreme spirit beasts in Sky Piercing Peak. Once these spirit beasts left Hundred-Thousand Hills, humans would not be able to survive.
On the morning of the fifth day, the Nine Colored Fruit suddenly trembled and the nine colors disappeared. It was crystal clear like a round fruit carved out of white jade.
"Roar —" The spirit lion suddenly roared and rushed toward the Nine Colored Fruit.
The rest of the spirit beasts also rushed toward the Nine Colored Fruit.
Chu Li took a step to the front of the Nine Colored Fruit. When he was about to reach out his hand, the white spirit leopard was already in front of him and opened its mouth to swallow it.
"Bang!" In the earth-shattering sound, the spirit leopard flew out with the spirit lion standing behind it.
The spirit leopard roared and rolled in the air, but it could not stop its body and flew into the void, disappearing without a trace.
"Bang bang bang bang …" Continuous muffled sounds could be heard. One after another, the supreme spirit beasts flew into the void, unable to turn back.
Chu Li could not care less about being shocked. His body flashed and he dodged the spirit beasts' attacks.
They did not kill other people and only attacked. However, whenever they collided with each other, they would usually send each other flying and disappear.
Chu Li realized that although the attacks of these spirit beasts seemed rough, they contained extremely exquisite techniques and body techniques. Usually, they would only send the other party flying when they had used up their previous strength.
It was fine if it didn't hit, but if it did, it would be extremely accurate. One hit would definitely send it flying, and there was no luck involved.
The spiritual energy in Chu Li's body circulated as he activated the Heavenly Spirit Scripture. He pushed his body movement technique to its limit as he evaded the Supreme Rank Spirit Beasts that were charging at him. Usually, he could only look up to these Supreme Rank Spirit Beasts, but this time, he had to face them himself. Although he was excited, he became even more cautious. Not only did he not want to make any mistakes, but he also wanted to be successful so that he could obtain the Nine-Colored Fruit before they did.
However, these Spirit Beasts were all very cunning. While they attacked others, they would also try to snatch the Nine-Colored Fruit. However, they would often be blocked by other Spirit Beasts, and they would suppress and attack each other. After a while, of the several hundred Spirit Beasts, only eight were left. The rest were knocked into the void, never to return.
Chu Li understood that this was also the rule of Sky Peak. Once someone was knocked out of this place, they would not have the right to enter again and would lose the right to fight for the treasures. This way, they would be able to avoid a brutal fight and would not hurt their vitality.
Chu Li sighed to himself. The one who set this rule must be an extremely powerful Spirit Beast. Not only was it powerful enough to make the other Spirit Beasts obey it, but it was also intelligent enough to fight without killing each other. Therefore, the Supreme Rank Spirit Beasts would not become enemies with each other, thus avoiding internal conflicts.
This was something that humans could not do. Even if a rule was set, no one would obey it. This was the difference between intelligence.
The remaining eight Spirit Beasts each occupied a direction, and Chu Li was at the outermost. He was unknowingly blocked outside. Although his body movement technique was fast, he could not outrun the Spirit Beasts. He could shift the void, and so could the other Spirit Beasts. Since he had the Space Anchor Pearl, the other Spirit Beasts could control the void without him.
This gave him a deep understanding of the power of the Supreme Rank Spirit Beasts. In his opinion, they were not inferior to Sui Miaozhu, Liang Leiyin, and the others who had performed the Enlightened Master Descends. It would be fine if he fought one, but he would definitely lose if there were two.
His mind raced as he thought of a way to snatch the Nine-Colored Fruit.
If this continued, he would not have a chance to obtain the Nine-Colored Fruit. One of the eight Spirit Beasts would definitely get it.
He was not in a hurry to move forward. Instead, he waited for an opportunity.
The eight Spirit Beasts were restraining one another. It was difficult to determine the winner and loser in a short period of time as they were wary of each other. However, the Nine-Colored Fruit could not wait for too long. It would lose all its spiritual energy in fifteen minutes and return to the ground.
Therefore, the eight Spirit Beasts could not be locked in a stalemate. There must be a winner and loser.
"Roar!" The eight Spirit Beasts roared at the sky. Then, two of them attacked each other.
Chu Li suddenly flashed and passed through their battle circle. He entered the innermost part of the Nine-Colored Fruit. He was not in a hurry to pluck the Nine-Colored Fruit. Instead, he formed a seal with his hands and shouted resolutely, "Duo!"
The Buddhas in the void of his mind held the same seal and chanted the incantation. Even the little beast chanted the word "duo".
His soul energy condensed into this incantation and spread in all directions. The void even froze. No matter how powerful the eight Supreme Rank Spirit Beasts were, they could not help but be affected by this incantation. Their bodies stopped moving and their minds became absent-minded.
Chu Li reached out and picked up the Nine-Colored Fruit. His movements were gentle and slow. He calmly opened his mouth and swallowed it. Then, he bit it.
The Nine-Colored Fruit turned into a clear gas and entered his internal organs. Then, his internal organs began to boil. It was as if magma was leaping in his body. Moreover, it was moving faster and faster as if it was going to cook his body.
Chu Li sat with his legs crossed. He closed his eyes and began to circulate the Heavenly Spirit Scripture.
Wisps of white gas came out of his hair and condensed a meter above his head. It condensed and did not disperse, forming a white cloud.
The white cloud floated slowly and did not move. No matter how long the roars and howls around it continued and how strong the wind was, it still floated in the same place and was not affected by the wind.
The eight Spirit Beasts roared for a while before they turned around and stared at Chu Li. It was obvious that they had remembered him. They would find another chance to settle the score with him.
Chu Li closed his eyes and did not move. He was like a statue. He sat there for ten days.
The white fog above his head kept getting thicker. In the end, it looked like a ball of cotton that was suspended there.
The Nine-Colored Fruit turned into magma and kept moving in his body. Later on, it merged with his Heavenly Spirit Scripture's inner energy and became one. He continued to circulate the Heavenly Spirit Scripture and broke through the seventh level in one go. He reached the eighth level.
The Nine-Colored Fruit's energy was beyond his imagination. It seemed to be endless. It could not be depleted no matter how hard he tried. He even had some energy left after advancing to the eighth level. However, the ninth level of the heart technique seemed to be blocked by a thick layer of obstacles. He could not break through no matter what.
Chu Li shook his head and opened his eyes. He stopped circulating the Heavenly Spirit Scripture. He knew that it was not something that could be forced in this world. Only when he reached the peak of the eighth level and saw the ninth level did he realize his own limitations.
The world suddenly became clear. Then, he saw the little Vermillion Bird standing on the top of the Nine-Colored Fruit's tree. It was gently combing its feathers. Its body was bathed in a ball of fire. It gave off an indescribable sense of intimacy.
He did not need the Omniscient Mirror. He could see the little Vermillion Bird turning into a ball of fire with his own eyes. It was obvious that his eyesight had improved greatly. When he looked around, the world became vivid and clear. He was touched by the beauty of the world.
Chu Li was very familiar with this feeling. Every time he advanced, he would feel the world become clearer and more beautiful. It was as if he had a clearer understanding of the world and was more touched.
The little Vermillion Bird's voice rang in his mind. "You're in big trouble!"
