I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Chapter 88 Your Highness!

East of Ningdong Mining Area.

In the gravel area near the Mu Us Desert.

The life force of the Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion is rapidly growing stronger. The electric arcs flashing on its body surface have been completely eliminated, and its broken carapace is repairing itself at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Its original size of seventeen or eighteen meters is slowly increasing!
Its aura is rapidly growing stronger!
A peculiar pressure began to permeate the mountains and forests!
The group of ferocious beasts lay prostrate on the ground, their gazes toward the Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion appearing even more devout!
wrong!

It should be called the Crimson Flame Purple Gold Scorpion King now!
"The Nine-Nine Returning to Origin Pill is indeed powerful!"

One of the guardian deities of the Heavenly Demon Sect sighed.

Tian Shouxingzun laughed and said, "This pill is a sacred healing medicine made by the alchemy sect behind Tianmen. It can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Even the Grand Elder spent a great deal of money to obtain it. How could its effect be bad?"

at this time.

A disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, shrouded entirely in a black robe, flew to the outer edge of the mountain forest.

He knelt on one knee before a guardian deity, bowed respectfully, and then presented a piece of intelligence with both hands.

This guardian deity will grab from afar!
brush!
He immediately obtained that intelligence report.

Tear it open.

Take a closer look.

The guardian deity's eyes narrowed sharply behind his mask, and he quickly turned around, rushed into the forest, knelt on one knee, and presented the information to the three guardian deities!
A guardian deity grabbed the information from afar.

This scene is strikingly similar to everything that has just happened, a testament to the strict hierarchical system within the Heavenly Demon Sect!

The guardian deity glanced at the intelligence report and his expression shifted slightly.

Why is the scale so surprised?

The Celestial Longevity Star Venerable glanced at the guardian deity and asked a question.

This guardian deity was the "Tianping Star Venerable," whose status among the "Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals" of the Heavenly Demon Sect was slightly higher than that of the Heavenly Sin Star Venerable. He immediately spoke up, "Heavenly Longevity Star Venerable, Heavenly Loss Star Venerable... The Holy Maiden has come to Western Xia."

Both the Celestial Longevity Star Venerable and the Celestial Loss Star Venerable were startled.

In the Heavenly Demon Cult.

There is a very special group.

Those were the "Holy Son" and "Holy Daughter" of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Every five years, the "Holy Master" of the Heavenly Demon Sect would select a Holy Son and a Holy Daughter, and then take them as his personal disciples and nurture them with great care. Once the Holy Son and Holy Daughter had cultivated to the "Grandmaster Realm" or their awakening level reached "A Grade", they would be sent to the Heavenly Gate for further training.

Only two saints remain on earth today.

They were elected this year.

Among them, the Holy Son is a martial artist. At only 18 years old, he has already reached the sixth rank, and his talent in swordsmanship is particularly outstanding.

The saint is an awakened one.

What she awakened was an extremely rare "lightning" supernatural ability, which was said to have been brought back from overseas by the Holy Lord, and was called Lilith.

"Why would Her Highness the Holy Maiden come to Western Xia?"

Tian Sun Xing Zun asked, "Where is she now? If we launch a beast tide, won't we offend Her Highness the Holy Maiden?"

The Heavenly Demon Sect has a strict hierarchical system.

Although the three guardian deities were ninth-rank grandmasters, they still bowed their heads in the face of the Holy Lord's personal disciple.

The Celestial Venerable said, "According to the reports from our disciples, the Holy Maiden has arrived near Wu City. She learned that we were about to unleash a beast tide, so she came to observe... She probably got a playful idea on the way, so she followed a few disciples to drive away the ferocious beasts."

The Celestial Lord of Longevity laughed and said, "How could you or I possibly control Her Highness the Holy Maiden's whereabouts?"

"The Holy Lord's teaching methods for His Highnesses Sons and Daughters are different from those for us disciples. He generally lets them cultivate on their own... The Holy Lord doesn't care where the Daughters go."

He paused, then smiled and said, "Besides, in addition to her awakened lightning ability, Her Highness the Holy Maiden has received the Holy Lord's true teachings and is extremely skilled in the art of beast taming. Let her do whatever she wants; we don't need to interfere, nor do we have the right to ask!"

"Just have your disciples proceed according to the original plan."

…………

"It's weird!"

"Where is the ferocious beast?"

As Jiang He walked through the wilderness, his doubts deepened.

He had been searching for over an hour since leaving the ruined city, venturing into the wilderness forty or fifty miles, but hadn't found a single ferocious beast!
This is extremely unusual.

The main thing is to keep searching...

It might be almost dawn!
Jianghe plans to return to the city of ruins.

But found...

I feel like I've lost my way!
This is a very normal thing.

The wilderness was pitch black, with tall plants everywhere... In addition, this was only Jiang He's second time entering the wilderness, and he had little experience in wilderness exploration, so it was reasonable for him to get lost.

The river wasn't in a hurry either.

He surveyed his surroundings.

This place seems to have once been a village, but most of the houses have been reduced to ruins, with only a few dilapidated houses still standing.

The cement roads in the village were already in a dilapidated state.

Jiang He found a "dangerous house" but didn't dare to stay there...

I was afraid that it would collapse while I was sleeping and I would be trapped inside.

However, this family had a small orchard in their yard, with some fruit trees, apricot trees, and peach trees growing there.

It is now September.

The apricot and peach trees had long since ripened and rotted, falling to the ground. However, the apple trees, which had not been pruned for years, grew extremely tall, with green apples hanging among their dense branches and leaves.

The apple is already the size of a fist.

I estimate it will be ripe in another month or so.

"It is said that the fruits in the wilderness become very sweet under the nourishment of spiritual energy, and there are even precedents of them mutating into spiritual fruits or even spirits of plants and trees... I wonder if these apples taste good."

The river jumped into the orchard.

He drew his sword and cut a section through the waist-high weeds, then came to a fruit tree and picked an apple from it.

took a bite.

Because the apples are not yet ripe, they are slightly astringent and sour.

But there is a lot of water.

One bite and it's bursting with juice, incredibly crisp.

After eating an apple.

Unfortunately, there was no "Ding, consumed spiritual fruit, strength +10kg" sound as I had imagined.

Jiang He was about to pick another apple to eat when suddenly...

His eyes narrowed.

There seemed to be a flash of green light on the fruit tree next door.

He turned his head and saw that the other fruit tree next door was particularly tall, with a thick trunk and lush foliage. The weeds within a few meters of it were extremely short, looking as if they were malnourished compared to the more than one-meter-tall weeds in the orchard.

The strangest thing is...

The largest, tallest, and most leafy apple tree in the entire orchard had not a single apple on it!

wrong!

There is one!
As the night breeze blows.

As the branches at the top of the apple tree swayed gently, an apple the size of a bowl appeared.

It hangs at the highest point of the apple tree, its color already turning red, emitting a faint glow. It's a lush green, and if it weren't for the darkness of night and the proximity of the river, it would be difficult to spot this apple.

"This is……"

"Spiritual fruit?"

"Or perhaps... the spirit of plants and trees?"

Jiang He couldn't help but get excited.

This fruit looks very unusual. Such a big fruit tree, and it only produced this one fruit... It's probably because it needs too many nutrients and has drained all the other apples!
Immediately apply pressure with your feet.

With a leap, Jiang He jumped seven or eight meters high, reached out and grabbed the apple.

"Such a big apple?"

"This apple must weigh at least three pounds!"

Jiang He weighed the apple in his hand for a moment, then lifted his shirt, wiped it a few times, and took a bite... After all, this thing was at least a "spiritual fruit," and he didn't know how to preserve it. If he didn't eat it quickly, the spiritual power it contained would dissipate rapidly.

sweet!
crisp!
Lots of water!

Especially when chewing, the unique apple flavor bursts forth on the taste buds, making it irresistible!
"Ding!"

"Consuming the spirit fruit increases strength by 100kg."

in mind.

The system prompt sounds.

Jiang He's spirits lifted, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips. Just as he was about to burst into laughter to express his excitement, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

A flurry of footsteps sounded.

Along with this came the low, menacing growls of ferocious beasts. Soon.

A sound came—

"quick!"

"Right ahead!"

"Her Highness the Holy Maiden said there are spiritual energy fluctuations here... It's highly likely that a spiritual fruit, or even a spirit of plants, has been born here... Whoever finds it will be richly rewarded!"

Your Highness?

Click!

Jiang He took another big bite of the apple, quickly left the orchard, and went into the "dangerous building".

"Ding!"

"Consuming the spirit fruit increases strength by 100kg!"

He looked outside.

Six men dressed in black robes rushed into the abandoned farmhouse. Their target was clear: one of them went straight to the orchard and found traces of cut weeds, footprints, and fruit pits on the ground.

"Damn it!"

"Someone got there first!"

The other five men in black robes also quickly jumped into the orchard.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Jiang He, who was hiding in the room, recognized these people at a glance...

Without him!

Their black robes were too conspicuous.

anyway.

These people from the Heavenly Demon Sect are ridiculous... They wear black robes and wander around the wilderness every day, as if they're afraid no one will recognize them?

Click.

Jiang He took another bite of the apple.

"Ding!"

"Consuming the spirit fruit increases strength by 100kg."

"who?"

In the orchard.

The six black-robed members of the Heavenly Demon Sect were alarmed and all activated their true energy, looking towards the abandoned room.

"Oops!"

"Discovered!"

Jiang He sensed something was wrong. He took another big bite of apple, stepped out of the room, and glanced at the six black-robed men who had jumped out of the orchard and surrounded him. He said, "Since you've discovered me, I guess I'll just have to kill you."

Because he was chewing an apple.

His voice was slightly slurred.

All six people turned their gazes to the apple in Jiang He's hand!

Even though Jiang He had already taken several large bites from that big, three-pound apple, its green and red color still emitted a faint glow, and a delicate fragrance wafted from it, filling the darkness of the night.

Click!

"Ding!"

"Consuming the spirit fruit increases strength by 100kg."

Jiang He took another bite of the apple and said, "But you'll have to wait a bit... until I finish my apple!"

Five apples.

I gained 500kg of strength!
Jiang He could even clearly feel the increase in his strength and blood energy.

only……

As he prepared to take his sixth bite...

"Shut up!"

The six men in black robes shouted in unison!
Immediately afterwards, another burst of footsteps came.

Outside the courtyard, a massive, entirely black canine beast, its tongue lolling out, strode in with elegant steps. The beast's aura was extremely strong, giving Jiang He the feeling that it was even more powerful than the "two-headed lion mastiff" in the ruined city.

It should be a sixth-grade ferocious beast!
Behind it.

There were at least sixty or seventy ferocious beasts following behind.

A group of ferocious beasts stood outside the courtyard, all staring at Jiang He. Their eyes gleamed with a cold light in the darkness, making them look terrifying.

However, Jiang He's gaze fell on the back of the leading canine beast.

A blonde girl sat on his back.

"Great Xia warrior!"

The girl looked at Jiang He, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, and said coldly, "How dare you steal my spiritual fruit?"

"Foreigners?"

Jiang He was surprised.

This Heavenly Demonic Cult has foreigners among its members?

Moreover, from the conversation of those men in black robes, it can be discerned that... this blonde girl seems to be some kind of "holy maiden" of the Heavenly Demon Sect?
she……

She was actually riding a ferocious beast?

And he controlled so many ferocious beasts?
Judging from those eyes alone, there must be no fewer than sixty or seventy ferocious beasts outside the courtyard.

"Crack!"

Jiang He quickly took a bite of the apple to calm himself down and said, "This fruit was planted by fruit farmers in my Great Xia decades ago. How can you, a foreigner, say that this is your spiritual fruit?"

"Do you want to lose face?"

"Why don't you go and grab it?"

"Rob?"

On the back of a canine beast.

The blonde girl sneered and said in fluent Daxia language, "I am indeed going to take it!"

She raised her hand.

A bolt of purple lightning shot from his fingertip toward the river!

Where in Jianghe had he ever seen such an attack?

Moreover, the purple lightning bolt was too fast, giving him no time to react, and it struck Jiang He in the chest with a snap!

Jiang He felt a sharp burning sensation in his chest, followed by a numbing sensation that spread throughout his body!
His body trembled uncontrollably as if he had been electrocuted by a high voltage. Purple arcs of electricity crackled and jumped around his body, and his hair was emitting black smoke, turning into an explosive hairstyle.

The apple in his hand was also electrocuted and fell to the ground.

A man in black robes, quick-witted and agile, tried to snatch the apple...

This apple, though it has already been eaten by rivers.

But it is a spiritual fruit after all, and its value is considerable.

So what if we've already eaten?

boom!
Jiang He kicked the black-robed man away. He picked up the apple, stared intently at the blonde girl, and tried to suppress his excitement and elation. He said in a deep voice, "A lightning-type transcendent awakener?"

One mouth.

Black smoke was billowing from the mouth of the river.

His handsome face was also turned completely black, as if he had just come out of a fire.

But Jiang He's eyes were full of joy!

because……

Just as the bolt of lightning struck Jiang He, a system notification sounded in his mind.

"Ding!"

"Thunderous Body Tempering, Strength +50kg!"

then.

Jiang He lifted his mental hospital gown, wiped the dirt off the apple, took a big bite, then looked up at the blonde girl provocatively and sneered, "So what if you're a lightning-type transcendent awakener?"

"I!"

"Physical Refining Warrior!"

"Thick-skinned and tough, fearless of thunder!"

He thumped his chest and yelled, "Come on... if you've got the guts, electrocute me!"
