Walker Of The Blue Sky

Chapter 99: Ch 99: Brutal Situation

Everyone was excited to see the Mysterious Sky Fruits. They all wanted to obtain a fruit, but they were aware that a fierce battle was inevitable. With only eighteen fruits and hundreds of people, the competition was intense.

Some individuals, aware of their own limitations, backed off early. They didn’t want to get caught in the battle and risk getting killed.

No one moved forward immediately. They weren’t in a rush and didn’t want to be the first to act. They were all waiting for someone else to make the first move.

"I’ll go up and take a look first!"

All of a sudden, an excited voice exclaimed. Then immediately, a silhouette rose from the crowd and flew up to take the Mysterious Sky Fruit away.

"Look at this guy!"

Some of them frowned when they looked over and saw a strong cultivator quickly approach the vines.

However, just as he got close to the vines, an extremely strong pressure descended and enveloped that cultivator’s body.

"Ahhhh!"

That person was surprised at first, but he immediately screamed in anguish and tried to release the most powerful energy within his body to resist the terrifying pressure.

However, it was useless. The immense power of the pressure was overwhelming, something a cultivator of his level could not withstand.

To everyone’s horror, a gigantic hand materialized in the air. This hand was formed from the energy released by the Mysterious Sky Tree.

As soon as the hand imprint appeared in the sky, it slammed down on the cultivator.

"Arghhh!"

The terrifying gigantic palm landed on him, and his agonizing scream echoed in the air. His body crashed hard to the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. It seemed like he had lost half of his body, and it was unclear how many bones had broken. The scene was miserable and horrifying.

"This pressure is so terrifying!"

The crowd was astonished, and fear crept into many hearts. Though they had anticipated some risk from the appearance of the vines, they were unprepared for what they had just witnessed.

The person who went first wasn’t weak, yet he was still seriously injured by the terrifying pressure that struck him down. Most astonishingly, the bizarre power had manifested into a palm imprint before attacking. This was something they had never seen before.

Those who doubted their own strength but had yet to retreat started to believe there was no hope of obtaining the Mysterious Sky Fruit. After all, to claim the fruit, they had to withstand the pressure and attacks from the Mysterious Sky Tree. If they couldn’t even get past this barrier, how could they compete with others?

Emrys, on the other hand, once again recalled Elysia’s words. Her last words for him were to survive. This space is indeed filled with dangers and bizarre situations that might turn perilous at any moment. They have to stay alert all the time.

The crowd looked at each other in dismay. While they were still thinking, another figure rose into the air. This figure broke through the layers of the pressure’s obstruction and steadily landed on the lowest branch.

"This..."

The crowd looked at him. The person seemed much stronger than the previous one.

However, just when the crowd was still in shock, another terrifying pressure descended on him.

Instantly, that person’s body was slightly bent.

The person roared strenuously to resist the pressure and was able to stand up straight with much difficulty. Unfortunately, he was not the lucky one. The instant he stood up, a vine came striking, slapping hard on his butt.

Pa~

"Argh!"

The man was sent flying as he landed on the ground. Blood scattered everywhere. The flesh on his butt was ripped apart by the vine’s slap. It was a terrifying sight to behold.

The crowd cried out in alarm.

While the crowd was still in shock, another person rose into the air and steadily landed on the lowest branch. Before the pressure could strike him, he jumped again, dodging the incoming vine before lowering his body to land on another branch.

Seeing this, the rest realized it was time to act. People would continue to move one after another, and if they didn’t, they would have no chance of obtaining the Mysterious Sky Fruit. Thus, many figures followed, breaking through the layers of suppression and landing on the branches successfully.

Surprisingly, they discovered that the terrifying pressure only struck until they reached the lowest branch. After that, the only threat came from the vines, which they had to dodge as they moved upward.

Everyone looked at the Mysterious Sky Fruit with desire. A fight instantly broke out among them. They started punching and kicking people close to them, throwing them to the ground.

And this was just the beginning.

As people moved on to the Mysterious Sky Tree, they started using all sorts of skills. Their attacks became more and more terrifying. Some lost their limbs, some were burned to death, some were electrocuted, some lost their lives to vines, and more.

Just like that, time started passing. Not a single person standing on the Mysterious Sky Tree was safe. Everyone was in danger, and every other person was their enemy.

They also understood that obtaining the Mysterious Sky Fruit is not difficult, keeping them is.

One of the people managed to reach close to one of the fruits. Just as he was about to reach out and pick the Mysterious Sky Fruit, a cold voice suddenly interrupted his action.

"That Mysterious Sky Fruit is mine!"

Immediately after the shout, that person felt a strong wind whistling behind him.

When that person turned around, he saw a burly figure behind him. A terrifying offensive power flew towards that person at an incredible speed and smacked him hard on the chest. Obviously, the burly figure didn’t want that person to get any chance of picking the fruit.

"Bang!"

A loud sound was heard and that person was sent flying by the burly figure. While he was still in the air, several vines came striking his body, turning his body apart into pieces. Blood and flesh flew everywhere in the air. The sound of bones breaking echoed in the surroundings.

It was a very cruel sight to behold, however, no one was affected by this. They just kept fighting with each other. Compared to someone else’s life, the Mysterious Sky Fruit was important to them.
