A demon fruit was just another type of spirit fruit. However, it had a large amount of demonic energy within, very beneficial for demon cultivators or humans with a demon bloodline.

The one fruit here was different from the ones Feiyun had seen before. It had white runes flowing through them - the laws of an Enlightened Being condensed in there.

From this, one could see the preciousness of this particular one.

This forest had other spirit fruits with dense energy, looking just like spirit lakes lingering on the branches. They had skeletons below too, showing off their preciousness.

However, none could absorb the dao of an Enlightened Being like the one found here.

“How long has this one been up there? I think more than ten thousand years?” Little Demoness stared at the skull-sized fruit.

The skeleton has been here for more than ten thousand years, so naturally, this was the case for the fruit as well.

“A ten-thousand-year spirit fruit, definitely special. We probably can’t find a second like this in Jin… I wonder if eating it will turn you into an Enlightened Being right away.” Shyflower grabbed her bow made from bones and leather, nocked an arrow then drew the string. A white light gathered on the tip as she aimed to shoot down that fruit.

This fruit was more valuable than a Dominating Armament. The knowledge of its existence would shock all of Jin.

“Boom!” This arrow was no joke either. It could travel for 980 miles and crush a smaller peak.

It carried a sharp and chilling ray and struck a leaf in the branch three hundred meters in the air. Unfortunately, it turned into dust right away.

Shyflower didn’t give up and prepared a second arrow. This one was even more dazzling than before, made from metal from outer space. She only had three and has been saving them.

This time, she shot out two in a row. They flew like two black dragons towards the branch.

“Boom! Boom!” Both turned to dust, unsurprisingly.

She couldn’t bear to try with her last arrow because of its worth. Losing two already hurt her enough.

Meanwhile, Second Boss and his spirit energy slowed down the sinking process. He noticed that Little Demoness and Shyflower only wanted the fruit instead of helping her so he shouted: “I will really take all of you down with me!”

Feiyun was busy with carving some strange runes on the ground. He looked up in response: “I’ll save you as long as you uproot that tree too so I can take that fruit.”

“I can’t! It’s a demon tree, pretty much a pseudo Enlightened Being. I can’t do anything to it!” Second Boss could still swing his large axe into the tree trunk.

The only thing he accomplished was making his hand numb and adding a few cracks and one broken spot on the blade.

This strike carried enough force to crush a mountain yet it didn’t do anything to this tree. This clearly showed how special it was.

“This… hmm, this might be a forbidden ground demon spirit.” Feiyun slightly frowned.

“What’s that?” Second Boss kept on wiggling around and created mini earthquakes. This still didn’t stop the sinking process.

“A great demon usually leaves something behind, a corpse or a spirit. So this so-called ‘forbidden ground demon spirit’ is a relatively powerful type. Anyone below an Enlightened Being will die after meeting one.” Feiyun didn’t believe that one would be here.

After all, a great demon of this level wouldn’t have come to a human dynasty, let alone dying here and leaving behind its spirit.

Alas, the truth was before him. This 300-meter tree could really be the form of a demon spirit. That’s the only way it could produce a 10,000-year demon fruit.

Second Boss’ eyes turned white after hearing Feiyun’s last sentence. He then exploded and shouted: “I can feel this demon thing fusing together with the skeleton, their roots are pulling me down… it’s over, I’m gonna take you all down with me too as funerary mats!”

“Wait a min, we have no grievances with you, what’s the point of dragging us down too?” Little Demoness cautiously retreated and took out more ten talismans for protection.

“We seek not to be born on the same day, in the same month and in the same year. We merely hope to die on the same day, in the same month and in the same year.” Second Boss’ hair was standing on end.

“Who the hell wants to die together with you.” Shyflower nocked her third arrow, ready to send Second Boss to hell first if he were to go crazy.

“Calm down, everyone, calm down, I have a method.” Feiyun said.

“What method, hurry up!” Second Boss only had his head above ground now, looking very pitiful.

“This forbidden ground demon spirit still doesn’t have its own sentience so it belongs to the weakest type. It normally won’t attack other living beings. We can’t do anything to it but scaring it should be possible.” Feiyun calmly explained.

“How?!”

“Since it takes the form of a tree, it should be afraid of fire so a flame technique should be effective, but if we do that…
