Chapter 1919 - 1947: Repeated Failures
The Martial Artist from the Fierce Blade Sect used all his strength, yelling loudly. You should know, the Green Origin Spirit Fruit he used just now is the best thing he owns. Back when he got the Green Origin Spirit Fruit, he almost spent his entire fortune.
If now the Primordial Spirit doesn’t follow him, his loss will be too immense.
However, although the Martial Artist from Fierce Blade Sect was yelling loudly, the Primordial Spirit didn’t even glance at him, lying on the stone platform, eyes closed as if treating him like air.
Seeing the Primordial Spirit ignoring him like this, the Martial Artist from Fierce Blade Sect’s anger soared to the extreme.
"You bastard, today you must be mine!" The Martial Artist from Fierce Blade Sect yelled loudly, immediately enhancing his aura to the limit. Then his True Essence surged, pushing his power to the peak.
As his words fell, the Martial Artist from Fierce Blade Sect charged towards the Primordial Spirit, wanting to capture it.
"Swish~~" However, in this instant, a silver light like a long chain traversed the Void, tearing through it, and in the blink of an eye, it brushed past the Martial Artist from Fierce Blade Sect at the Great Perfection of Proof of Dao.
"Psh~~" Blood splattered furiously, in just the blink of an eye, the Martial Artist from Fierce Blade Sect’s head separated from his body, and Tianxing stood before him as his head rolled to the ground.
Tianxing stomped on the Fierce Blade Sect Martial Artist’s head, saying blandly, "I’ve said it before. To obtain the Primordial Spirit, you must make it willing to follow you. But if you forcibly seize it against the rules, don’t blame me for being unsparing..." As his words fell, Tianxing exerted force underfoot.
"Psh~~" Brain matter splattered, in just the blink of an eye, the Martial Artist from Fierce Blade Sect’s head exploded under Ye Feng’s foot, and before Tianxing, not even a Dao Sect expert at the Great Perfection of Proof of Dao could resist.
And Tianxing, as if doing something very easy and simple, said blandly, "Next one!"
Then, the disciple from the Holy Dragon Sect stepped out, attempting to entice the Primordial Spirit, to make it follow him. But after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Primordial Spirit still didn’t glance at them.
One by one they kept trying. Soon, almost everyone had tried, even taking out high-quality items for the Primordial Spirit, but after it consumed their Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it paid them no heed.
In this palace, even powerful entities like Emperor Yun Dao Venerable dared not act rashly, for they bore the mark and restraint of the Heavenly Dao, making them easy prey for Tianxing here.
Soon, Li Yan, Long Yu, Jiuyi, and Canglong Saint Heir had all tried, but it was utterly ineffective. The Primordial Spirit didn’t want to follow them, seemingly as Tianxing had foreseen.
Now only Emperor Yun Dao Venerable and Ye Feng remained unattempted. At this moment, Emperor Yun Dao Venerable stepped out: "It’s my turn!" As his words fell, Emperor Yun Dao Venerable approached the Primordial Spirit.
Everyone watching Emperor Yun Dao Venerable doubted he could make the Primordial Spirit leave with him.
Emperor Yun Dao Venerable walked slowly, coming before the Primordial Spirit, which lay motionless on the stone platform, not even glancing at Emperor Yun Dao Venerable, indifferent to whatever happens.
Emperor Yun Dao Venerable then took out a blood-red Spirit Fruit, emitting a fiery force and a rich fragrance akin to ripe peaches.
Yet there was some difference; the aroma was indescribable, with just a whiff, one felt their inner power accelerating, their mental state improved.
"Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit!" Seeing the Spirit Fruit Emperor Yun Dao Venerable held, they recognized it. Its grade was not inferior to the Green Origin Spirit Fruit provided by the deceased Martial Artist at the Great Perfection of Proof of Dao.
None expected Emperor Yun Dao Venerable would generously offer such a fine item to the Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit, smelling the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit, displayed a yearning look, drooling, desperate to acquire it.
At this moment, Emperor Yun Dao Venerable showed a trace of smugness, whereas Li Yan shook his head: "What’s the use of the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit? It still won’t follow him."
But then Emperor Yun Dao Venerable took out a dagger from his Storage Ring.
Simultaneously, he lowered his defenses, retracting the Protective True Essence from his skin.
He lightly sliced his finger with the dagger, making a cut.
From his finger oozed a drop of blood, falling onto the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit.
"Wow~~" In an instant, the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit emitted dazzling light, its aroma intensified several times over, astonishing everyone.
No one expected Emperor Yun Dao Venerable’s blood could amplify the fruit’s fragrance exponentially.
Initially, the Primordial Spirit showed mere desire for the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit, but now its intent was not just to desire—it was an obsession, an absolute need.
The Primordial Spirit lunged towards Emperor Yun Dao Venerable, eager to grab the Dragon Blood Spirit Fruit.
But Emperor Yun Dao Venerable wouldn’t allow it the chance.
