Chapter 2048: Fusion of the Destiny Fruit
Chapter 2048: Chapter 2048: Fusion of the Destiny Fruit
"Destiny Fruit!"
Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie naturally knew the effect of such a fruit; it is a heavenly treasure capable of enhancing a cultivator’s potential, increasing the probability of transcending the Dao.
They just didn’t expect Ye Feng to have such a fruit.
Moreover, he handed out two at once.
Truly, his foundation runs deep!
"Sect Master Uncle, is this Destiny Fruit really for me?" Huo Yunjie was somewhat incredulous.
"Who else do you think I’d give it to, a pig?" Ye Feng rolled his eyes and directly placed the fruit into the hands of Huo Yunjie and Mo Ying. "Alright, don’t dawdle here with me, quickly refine them. I’m still waiting for you two to ascend to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, and even True Heavenly Venerable!"
As disciples rise, so does the Sect Leader.
If Huo Yunjie and Mo Ying both ascend to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, or even True Heavenly Venerable, Ye Feng believes his own power will certainly leap several levels again.
Fighting Heavenly Venerables barehanded, it’s not just a dream!
"Gulp!"
Huo Yunjie and Mo Ying simultaneously swallowed their saliva, then nodded solemnly, indicating they would certainly strive to ascend to True Heavenly Venerable in the future.
As for Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, they were already not far away.
"Go, it’s best to refine the Destiny Fruit under the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree to maximize the effect of the refining and absorption, even to the point of ultimate sublimation."
Ye Feng gave a suggestion.
"Understood." The two disciples nodded.
Little Universe, Super Continent.
Ye Feng, Mo Ying, and Huo Yunjie arrived at the massive Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, looking up at the lush tea tree. Plucking a leaf and chewing it, one could easily achieve enlightenment.
"At the metamorphosis period?" Mo Ying exclaimed.
"Yes." Ye Feng nodded. "Currently, the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree has reached the metamorphosis period, just one step away from its peak. Once it evolves into a peak tea tree, there’s hope it will transform into the Nine-Colored."
"Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree?!"
"That’s the legendary top divine object; if the Sect Leader owns such a treasure, shouldn’t our comprehension be elevated to Heavenly Venerable level?"
Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie speculated.
Ye Feng nodded, saying, "It’s possible; even the metamorphosis period Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea can elevate one’s comprehension to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable level."
There’s no doubt about it.
He had once performed calculations; if a person consumes the metamorphosis period Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree throughout their life, their comprehension would continually elevate until reaching Quasi-Heavenly Venerable level.
Even if the individual has very low cultivation, as long as they consume it continuously for over ten millennia, their comprehension would rise to the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable level.
Regardless if the Nine-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree is achieved, even just bringing the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree to its peak, drinking its tea daily can elevate comprehension to Heavenly Venerable level.
This has nothing to do with cultivation level.
Even if one is a mortal, if they possess sufficient lifespan support and drink the tea from the peak Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree daily, their future comprehension can reach Heavenly Venerable level, which is an extremely terrifying medicinal effect.
Currently, the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree is still only at the metamorphosis period, with some distance yet to the peak.
"Begin refining the Destiny Fruit!"
Ye Feng gestured under the tea tree, where two purple-gold mats lay, internally filled with leaves and fibrous branches from the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree, soft enough to allow a cultivator sitting on them to focus their mind.
The two sat cross-legged on the mats.
Afterwards, they consumed the Destiny Fruit, able to feel the endless power of destiny flushing through their bodies, constantly transforming them, making everything more perfect, rapidly elevating their potentials far beyond before.
Even their cultivation level slightly progressed.
This made Ye Feng secretly pleased.
"Yun Jie and Mo Ying have accumulated many merit points, seemingly only a tenth away from exchanging for a baptism opportunity, about to break through."
Ye Feng rubbed his chin, thinking as such.
Outer Domain Battlefield.
No matter if it’s Area One or Area Two, although nearly a million Abyss Demon Army were annihilated, ordinary cosmic sea creatures incessantly flow in.
The cosmic battle remains ongoing.
Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie were refining the Destiny Fruit, with no time to continue slaying Outer Realm Evil Spirits, but Qiao Jiaxi and Jia Yulan, among others, had time.
The powerhouses from various universes were also making their moves.
However, their situation was quite miserable.
Disciple of the Misty Holy Sect, once deceased, Ye Feng would resurrect them, so there’s no fear of death.
Each universe’s powerhouses, however, did not hold this privilege.
To be resurrected by Ye Feng, their clans must exchange various pinnacle treasures from their universes.
Thus, Ye Feng profited greatly in treasures.
Some are rare treasures from various universes, others are secret techniques left by Heavenly Venerables, and some are auspicious items mined from cosmic-grade secret realms.
Within a high-grade Great Universe.
Ye Feng appeared on an altar, taking away a Green Lantern placed there, absorbing the lamp oil within, extracting a peculiar treasure.
This item can strengthen the origin of the cultivator.
Simply refining this item cannot cause a cultivator to metamorphose, but combined with various treasures harvested from other universes, it can be crafted into an elixir called the "Ultimate Metamorphosis Pill," enabling bodily transformation.
One transformation can cause the foundation to multiply.
"Ye Hierarch, the Immeasurable Green Lantern is the most supreme treasure our clan can offer; please, in consideration of this treasure, resurrect our clan leader."
Beside him, a Hundred-layered Immortal Emperor bowed and scraped, appearing extremely respectful before Ye Feng.
"Sure, I can do that." Ye Feng nodded.
Recently, powerhouses of various universes alongside cultivators of Cosmic Sea fought, resulting in hundreds to thousands of God-King level powerhouses dying, and naturally, their descendants didn’t wish them to remain dead, hence they emptied their clan’s foundation to ask Ye Feng to resurrect them.
Ye Feng was highly trustworthy.
Having accepted sufficient compensation, he would certainly resurrect the deceased God-King level powerhouses.
"Revive, my friend."
Ye Feng extended his hand, unleashing strong space-time law fluctuations from his palm, effortlessly twisting surrounding spacetime, directly fishing people from the river of time, and employing the Heavenly Venerable Divine Ability "Heart of Life" for assistance.
Subsequently, a shadow emerged.
The person’s body continually solidified, law patterns manifested on his surface, outlining a more complete body, until he appeared as if rising from water, achieving resurrection.
Crackle!
Utilizing the against-heavens method to resurrect beings, Ye Feng naturally endured lightning strikes.
But, he could withstand it.
Even though his body was split apart by the lightning, it could instantly recombine, absorbing the Thunder Origin, refining it to fuse with the small universe. As the bottleneck hadn’t yet been broken, it remained temporarily stored.
After breaking the boundary, absorption wouldn’t be late.
"Thank you, Ye Hierarch, for resurrecting me." The God-King level powerhouse promptly expressed gratitude, inviting Ye Feng to dine in this universe, and then continued into the Outer Domain Battlefield to slay enemies, supplementing cultivation resources for his clan.
"Live well, don’t die again."
Ye Feng advised with a sentence, hurriedly entering another universe to resurrect another God-King level powerhouse.
Recently, the orders have increased significantly.
As a result, Ye Feng had to resurrect several God-King level powerhouses daily, sometimes up to dozens in a single day. Although many heavenly materials and earthly treasures could be accumulated, it was tiring yet filled with joy.
Little Universe.
Under the lush Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.
Huo Yunjie and Mo Ying had completely refined the origin of the Destiny Fruit, with five-colored glorious halos surrounding them, their whole selves undergoing a purification session.
"It seems to be over."
Mo Ying awoke first.
After this metamorphosis, her Sacred Body has improved by a full measure, significantly increasing her potential, and her basic combat strength has also doubled, reaching twenty to thirty times that of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme, which is truly astonishing.
What does this mean?
She has surpassed countless superpowerhouses within the Twin Universe. In terms of combat strength at the same level, she’s only second to the Mysterious God back then and the current Ancestor of Demons.
"In the end, you’re still a little faster."
Huo Yunjie also awakened, glanced at Mo Ying standing nearby with her sword, and realized he was slower.
"It’s just a little faster, it doesn’t mean much."
Mo Ying tightened her grip on the sword hilt, carefully sensing the changes within herself, her bright eyes full of joy.
Huo Yunjie also sensed his own changes.
His understanding, cultivation, basic combat strength, and soul... all attributes were enhanced, and furthermore, his connection with heaven and earth became more intimate.
With just a thought, he could communicate with Cosmic Consciousness.
This was a talent he didn’t have before.
"We’ve both become the darlings of the universe."
Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie realized upon reflecting that after refining the Destiny Fruit, the probability of them proving their path was doubled, clearly, the reason lied here.
"Let’s go, continue to slay enemies."
"Hmm, I’m still short of ten percent of the merit needed to gather enough energy for the metamorphosis."
"Me too."
Both contacted Ye Feng.
"Very well, your basic combat strength has doubled, and you have become the universe’s darlings. Now, you can consider receiving the baptism."
Ye Feng appeared, smiling.
"Huh?"
"Aren’t we still lacking a lot of merit?"
Both were confused.
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "After you received the baptism of the Destiny Fruit, it already counts as completing a metamorphosis, reducing the merits needed for the baptism. Of course, even without this, you have enough merit points because I have spare ones."
Saying so, he took out two Origin Energy Crystals.
Each containing abundant Cosmic Origin, equivalent to ten Half-Step Heavenly Venerables, entirely sufficient to fill the current gap for Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie.
"Thank you, Sect Master Uncle!"
Huo Yunjie thanked repeatedly, knowing well that it was Ye Feng who collected them while they were in seclusion.
"Sect Leader, thank you for your nurturing."
Mo Ying made a sword-holding salute.
Recalling back then, she joined the still Lower Rank Misty Sect under Shu Hongyu’s guidance, thinking she could practice in peace here and later break through to the Element Gathering Realm or Spirit Sea Realm.
Unexpectedly, after more than a decade, she has become a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable.
In the entire universe, she stands at the pinnacle.
Now, having fused with the exceedingly rare Destiny Fruit, she is merely a step away from becoming a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable, and once she takes the Cosmic Baptism, she will break through.
At that time, she will become the top combat power in the universe, surpassing even the Emperor Dragon Sovereign.
Without the appearance of a Heavenly Venerable, she will be nearly invincible.
"Don’t get sentimental, if you wish to repay me, then quickly go and receive the baptism!"
Ye Feng waved his hand.
Having practiced until now, his mind has become very strong and stable, although occasionally retaining a bit of innocence, he remains rational.
"I have a premonition that a great calamity is coming, and you two must advance to Quasi-Heavenly Venerable soon to help the Outer Domain Battlefield cosmically overcome this disaster."
Ye Feng added, speaking in a serious tone.
"A great disaster?" Huo Yunjie’s expression changed.
"Could it be, a Heavenly Venerable is descending?" Mo Ying was also shocked; if even Ye Feng felt it’s dangerous, the coming entity must be extremely powerful, at least at the Destroyer’s Treasure Box level.
"It’s impossible for a Heavenly Venerable to physically descend into the Cosmic Sea, at most, a Law Projection or clone. However, it’s not them but an enemy originating from the Cosmic Sea. Like, the leader of the Abyssal Demons."
Ye Feng made a judgment.
This made Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie serious, hurriedly asking for insider knowledge, but Ye Feng also didn’t know. The two had to drop it and returned to the Outer Battlefield.
Later, they returned to the Twin Universe.
Shenzhou Continent, Misty Holy Sect.
Mo Ying sacrificed all her merit, causing the surrounding void to crack, as if a black Netherworld Eye condescendingly overlooking all beings below.
"What happened?"
"I feel the presence of Cosmic Consciousness, and it’s mobilizing the Origin; its magnitude seems comparable to when the Emperor Dragon Sovereign proved the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable. Did someone preemptively prove their Dao as a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable? Who understands?"
"I don’t understand."
Cosmic strongmen shook their heads collectively.
At this point, they noticed Mo Ying standing under the massive Netherworld Eye, undergoing a baptism of pure Cosmic Consciousness Origin, with her aura rising steadily.
"It’s Mo Ying!"
"Why does it feel like she’s proving as a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable?"
The crowd was shocked.
It’s not even the end of the year yet; the competition for proving the Quasi-Heavenly Venerable hasn’t opened, how did Mo Ying bypass the proof battle and directly prove as a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable?
Sizzle!
In another part of the mid-air of the Misty Holy Sect, the sky suddenly cracked open, revealing a second identical Netherworld Eye, releasing Cosmic Consciousness Origin to baptize the tall young man standing below.
"It’s Huo Yunjie."
"Crazy, how are both Huo Yunjie and Mo Ying receiving the baptism of Cosmic Consciousness, proving as Quasi-Heavenly Venerables?"
"Did we miss something?"
The strongmen of Myriad Realms were bewildered and envious.
"They are actually about to prove as Quasi-Heavenly Venerables!"
Heavenly Emperor Lingtian, Heavenly Venerable Lu, Tiangang Immortal Emperor, Crimson Queen, and other top cosmic powerhouses were watching, not understanding how they could suddenly prove the Dao.
Only a few people knew the truth.
For instance: Ye Feng.
At this moment, he is sitting atop Misty Peak, personally safeguarding Huo Yunjie and Mo Ying, preventing any mishap from happening, lest he regrets eternally.
"They are about to become Quasi-Heavenly Venerables."
Ye Feng is very much looking forward to it.
Once Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie become Quasi-Heavenly Venerables, as the Sect Leader, he too will gain the power blessing of two Quasi-Heavenly Venerable levels, and an extremely strong kind at that.
"How strong will I become then?" Ye Feng anticipated even more.
Cosmic Sea.
Blood Moon Sea Demon Clan.
Just as Mo Ying and Huo Yunjie received the baptism of Cosmic Consciousness Origin, billions of Abyss Demon armies were rapidly hatching here.
"Haha, the Master of the Abyss is about to be born."
"Thanks to conquering many Outer Battlefield universes recently and plundering countless resources, otherwise, we could not expedite the birth of the Master of the Abyss."
"Ye Feng, this time you are surely doomed!"
Silver Eyebrow Venerable and others laughed heartily as if foreseeing the day when the Master of the Abyss leads the army to flatten the Outer Battlefield Areas One and Two.
