Chapter 100: Ch 100: Node Shift
The burly man moved to pick the Mysterious Sky Fruit now that he had taken care of the one from before, however, it was also at this moment, several other experts also arrived not far from him. They all stepped towards the direction of the Mysterious Sky Fruit, and a great battle broke out in a few directions.
All kinds of skills were released in the air that sparkled the surroundings. Powerful attacks were unleashed, and the destructive force spread everwhere.
Meanwhile, Emrys remained under the Mysterious Sky Tree, intently staring at the vines as if he was deep in thought. Unlike the others on the ground, he had not given up on obtaining the Mysterious Sky Fruit.
Ye Yun had already ascended to compete for the fruit.
Mu Bailing and Jing Jun stood beside Emrys, watching the brutal battle taking place above. They were not planning to join the competition.
People fell from the tree, some in one piece, others in several. The scene was gruesome. Some were killed instantly, while those who survived were left heavily injured, screaming in heart-wrenching pain. Every one of them had at least one broken bone.
Emrys’s focus on the vines was unbroken. He seemed to be observing something crucial, maybe a potential pattern or strategy that others had missed in their rush.
However, he was unable to find any weak point on the Mysterious Sky Tree for the time being.
Although Emrys couldn’t find a weak point in the Mysterious Sky Tree’s defenses, he had other options. He could simply shift nodes, grab the fruits, and disappear before anyone realized what had happened. But instead of acting immediately, he chose to wait and observe how events unfolded.
The tragic battle raged on, with powerful warriors being struck down and crashing to the ground. Emrys kept a close watch on the scene, his eyes scanning for any changes or opportunities.
Among the chaos, two individuals stood out the most. They were ahead of everyone else and seemed to be the strongest among the hundreds of people competing for the Mysterious Sky Fruits. Their presence was so intimidating that no one dared to provoke them.
Emrys noted their movements and analyzed their strategies and strengths in his mind.
There was also Prince Yushan. Prince Yushan’s eyes were demonic black as he kept unleashing ruthless attacks. Although he was not the strongest, he was not weak either. His strength was enough to put him among top twenty.
The crowd below watched the chaotic battle with both curiosity and surprise. This was a collision between geniuses. Those who were relatively weaker could only watch.
Emrys finally focused on Ye Yun who just avoided attacks from three people and vines and landed on a thick branch. His eyes were shining with a dazzling light as he watched the situation above.
After observing for a while, Ye Yun took a step forward and moved again. He could feel a trace of pressure wrapping around his body in an attempt to suppress him. This pressure did not originate from the Mysterious Sky Tree but the people who wanted to knock him down.
With a thought, a powerful force burst out from Ye Yun’s body as he broke through the suppression. His figure flickered as his feet landed steadily on one of the branches a step higher.
It was also at this time cold gazes were shot towards Ye Yun as if he wasn’t welcome to participate in the battle to obtain Mysterious Sky Fruits.
"Boy, get the hell out of here!"
One of the people closest to Ye Yun spoke coldly. At the same time, he threw a punch at him.
Ye Yun’s expression turned cold. Suddenly, a frenzied roared echoed in the air as he punched out. An imprint of a fist manifested in the air and collided with the man’s punch. The punch of that cultivator was instantly destroyed. But this did not end there. Ye Yun’s powerful punch sent that man flying away as well. The man fell to the ground with a pale face.
Ye Yun smiled mockingly and looked around. His eyes met the gazes of the people who were looking at him as if he is a prey. However, when their gazes met, many people shifted their eyes to avoid Ye Yun’s gaze.
Emrys, who was watching everything, shook his head and smiled. He understood that strength was important above all in the world of the strong. Just like the current Ye Yun.
At this time, the two strongest people reached the location of two Mysterious Sky Fruits. Both of them picked up one.
People looked at them with envy, but did not dare to eye the fruits in their hands. They knew they were not these two people’s match, so instead of throwing their lives like an ordinary rock, it was better to compete for other sixteen Mysterious Sky Fruits.
On the other hand, the two strongest people did not seem to be satisfied with only one fruit. They looked at each other and nodded. As if they had tacit understanding, both of them immediately moved toward other Mysterious Sky Fruits.
Emrys frowned when he saw their greedy action.
It was not just him, others frowned as well. There were only eighteen Mysterious Sky Fruits to begin with. Two of them had already taken one fruit each. Since no one said anything or tried to rob them of their fruits, they should have left.
However, instead of leaving, the two of them were greedy enough to eye other Mysterious Sky Fruits.
So what if they were the strongest?
Just this action alone offended almost every cultivator fighting for the fruits.
Emrys, on the other hand, muttered, "I think it is time for me to act. Otherwise, all the fruits will be taken away!"
There were sixteen Mysterious Sky Fruits remaining. Emrys focused on two that were very close to each other.
"Node Shift!"
A three-dimensional world with a radius of five hundred meters formed around Emrys. Everything in his field of vision slowed down, allowing him to observe every detail within that radius with a god-like perspective. This incredible sight was truly breathtaking.
