In the midst of the clouds.
A single shuttle boat vanished into the air, its engine sound isolated by its own force field. Even if Master Fu were present, he would likely fail to detect its presence, especially since it also possessed an invisibility function.
In the distance, the Main Peak loomed ahead. Unlike the previous mountains, the summit of this Main Peak was adorned with ancient buildings scattered throughout, remnants from a bygone era.
Lu Fei Fan intended to pilot the flying ship straight in, but halfway up the mountain, a loud explosion erupted, followed by a flurry of gunfire.
Lu Fei Fan had little interest in watching; as he approached the summit, conflicts erupted continuously. It seemed there were indeed enticing treasures at the peak.
He steered the Flying Ship toward the summit with determination, but as they neared, an alarm blared from the ship. A virtual screen popped up, revealing a three-dimensional projection map before Lu Fei Fan's eyes. To his surprise, there was an outline of a circular energy shield at the top of Main Peak.
All the buildings at the summit were shrouded beneath this energy shield. It appeared that there was a massive energy array below; maintaining such a large energy formation over nearly ten thousand square meters must require an astonishing energy core.
Lu Fei Fan initially considered forcing his way through, but the warning from the Flying Ship made him hesitate. He attempted to send a Magic Cube Beetle toward it. Upon contact with the energy shield, lightning-like electric snakes surged up from the shield, and those Magic Cube Beetles were instantly reduced to fragments.
"Such an energy array exists?" Lu Fei Fan couldn't help but admire it. This defensive energy formation against aerial intrusions was clearly set up by ancient people to protect something valuable.
"Hmm? What is that?" Lu Fei Fan focused on the screen. In the center of the summit floated a tree!
This tree was quite extraordinary; its roots hung down like a brush, extending into the soil below. These roots acted like conduits transporting energy from underground to the tree itself, occasionally shimmering with neon-like Liuguang as they infused life into it.
From above, this enormous tree appeared as large as a hundred-square-meter building. Its branches were lush and towering, with leaves sparkling like stars. More astonishingly, a dazzling silver beam of light pierced through its center like a sword thrust into wood. Most striking was a glowing golden energy source located on its trunk; it was responsible for sustaining such immense power for this defensive energy array.
"What kind of tree is this?" Lu Fei Fan sensed an overwhelming cycle of energy emanating from it. Moreover, he felt an irresistible urge to rush forward and cultivate beneath its branches because it radiated Pulse Energy so pure that all impurities were continuously expelled, forming an Energy Shield that protected this area.
"Hmm?" Lu Fei Fan noticed that more and more people were gathering at the foot of the mountain.
It seemed that Lu Fei Fan had to go down. If he waited any longer, the people below would surely strip the rare treasures bare. Since he was already here, Lu Fei Fan had no choice but to descend. Moreover, the Flying Ship could be summoned at will; if he couldn't fight, he could just escape through the Energy Shield and flee on the Flying Ship.
In terms of speed, Lu Fei Fan believed that even with the Black and White Wings, he might not be able to catch up.
With this thought in mind, Lu Fei Fan organized his gear, placing the previously acquired White Emperor Star Fruit and Azure Feather Spirit Fruit onto the Flying Ship. After packing his belongings, he jumped off the Flying Ship.
Equipped with the Black and White Wings, Lu Fei Fan was not afraid of crashing hard. However, he spread his Feathered Wings and deliberately avoided the protective shield. As expected, when he descended close to the ground, he reached out to touch the Energy Shield and felt a slight tingling sensation.
Nevertheless, Lu Fei Fan passed through the Energy Shield. In that brief moment of crossing, a strange illusion flashed through his mind. He found himself in a lively tavern filled with laughter and clinking glasses. Numerous dancers swayed like serpents while others drank and embraced scantily clad women from the mortal realm. But soon after, a surge of energy jolted through his mind, clearing his thoughts.
Shaking his head to dispel the illusion, Lu Fei Fan realized he had successfully entered the protective shield. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran into an ancient building to hide.
The divine tree was only a few hundred meters away. Upon closer inspection, Lu Fei Fan noticed that it was surrounded by all the buildings. It radiated a thick energy that seemed to envelop it. The tree appeared to be over a hundred years old, towering above several buildings; clearly, his estimation of its size from the Flying Ship had been off.
What astonished Lu Fei Fan even more were the fruits shimmering among its branches like stars—each one was as large as a human head!
These fruits were evidently the essence of this tree, condensing hundreds of years of energy within them. They were undoubtedly top-tier Ancient-grade treasures!
If he could take a few back to sell, they would fetch an impressive price. Just as Lu Fei Fan was about to make a move, he caught sight of a figure soaring up from another building through the window. He recognized her instantly—it was Dongfang Hui!
How did she arrive so quickly? Could there be a passage or teleportation route from the peak of White Emperor Starfruit Mountain to here? Lu Fei Fan couldn't help but speculate but had no way to confirm it.
He watched as she darted toward the divine tree suspended in mid-air; its fruits were within reach.
Suddenly, a bolt of golden lightning struck out from the lush canopy above with ferocity akin to a drawn thunderblade!
Dongfang Hui seemed to have been prepared for this moment. With a swift motion, her outstretched hand, which had been reaching for the fruit, transformed into a powerful fist, surging with immense energy as she swung it towards the lightning bolt descending from the treetop.
Boom!
Her fist, reminiscent of a force capable of moving mountains, collided with the crackling lightning, creating a thunderous explosion in mid-air. The energy surged forth, scattering like a turbulent wave.
The scorching air rushed outward in all directions, forcing Dongfang Hui to retreat half a step to regain her balance in the air.
The buildings behind her also trembled under the impact of her forceful presence, creaking and cracking as several fissures appeared.
Dongfang Hui remained vigilant, her gaze fixed on the divine tree as if facing a formidable enemy. Her fists swelled with power, gathering an overwhelming force that seemed capable of turning mountains upside down.
Wuxiang Divine Fist!
Lu Fei Fan felt a surge of alarm; this woman was on the verge of breaking through to the level of a War God. However, it was clear she was intent on solidifying her foundation at this level. Such profound Pulse Energy would make her one of the most formidable women of her generation, though she still fell slightly short compared to Great Fox Manor and her brother, Dongfang Qiubai.
This was why she had endured thus far—she sought the fruit from this tree.
Yet now, she appeared to be facing an imminent threat; something extraordinary must be happening atop the treetop.
Lu Fei Fan looked up and realized that someone had appeared beside the treetop without him noticing.
No, to be precise, it was a peculiar figure. He possessed a pair of Golden Wings, his face resembling deep indigo, hair like vermilion, eyes blazing with intensity, and teeth jutting out prominently. Standing at two meters tall and wielding a golden spear, he stood proudly, looking down upon Dongfang Hui.
"Foolish mortals, retreat at once!" His voice boomed like thunder.
The other party did not wish to harm Dongfang Hui; there seemed to be a hint of warning in their demeanor. However, the fruit within reach appeared to be a top-tier treasure, and how could one leave empty-handed?
She certainly would not be intimidated by the guardian of this divine tree.
With her fists charged, she unleashed two powerful punches towards the Golden Guardian, sending forth waves of energy that surged into the sky.
"Conqueror's Territory!"
Boom!
The shockwaves of her punches tore through the air, accompanied by a thunderous sound.
The golden guardian deftly flicked the tip of his spear, his body seemingly imbued with divine golden light. He transformed into a streak of golden brilliance that pierced through the air.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Dongfang Hui's punches were shattered by the whirlwind-like golden light, which surged toward her with ferocity.
Once again, Dongfang Hui retaliated with a punch, unleashing a torrent of force that reverberated like thunder behind her. With a mighty explosion, brilliant light erupted as the energy clashed.
Her figure shot forward like a cannonball, crashing through two buildings and landing amidst the rubble.
"Sister!" Dongfang Jun's voice echoed from afar.
The Golden Guardian did not pursue but instead spread his Feathered Wings and returned to the crown of the divine tree, holding his Golden Holy Spear.
“Anyone who approaches the Divine Tree shall be killed!”
The Golden Guardian issued a chilling warning once again. This time, it was far from the previous subtle tone; it was infused with Pulse Energy, resonating in the eardrums of everyone present, carrying an underlying threat that sent shivers down their spines.
However, from the outer buildings, a projectile from an Energy Cannon was launched, hurtling directly toward the Divine Tree.
In a flash, the Golden Guardian moved, sweeping the Holy Lance with a powerful strike. Boom!
The cannonball exploded mid-air in a burst of flames, and the shrapnel was swept away by the Golden Guardian's spear, raining down like deadly hail on the buildings below. Those lying in ambush quickly activated their Energy Shields for protection.
Suddenly, over a dozen men clad in Tactical Vests leaped out from the structures. Each exuded an aura of Generals; they were not members of the Dongfang Family but clearly belonged to another faction. Each bore spider tattoos, and behind them appeared a woman in a Qipao, her face obscured by a veil. A black spider tattoo adorned her arm, while her figure beneath the Qipao was undeniably alluring.
“Spider Association!” Dongfang Jun exclaimed as he helped his sister to her feet upon seeing their tattoos.
“Ah, what a lively scene,” remarked a man wearing half a veil as he slowly entered with his entourage. He raised his hand, and perched on his gloved wrist was an imposing Shen Ying, twisting its head to survey the Birdman Guardian looming above them.
The man with half a golden-veiled face spread his arms wide, inhaling the air with delight before opening his eyes to gaze at the towering Holy Tree suspended in mid-air. His gaze particularly fixated on the platinum fruits glistening at the ends of its branches, which were utterly captivating.
“Divine Court Sacred Fruit!” His eyes sparkled with determination and ambition.
