There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Moments ago, the two groups fought fiercely, treating each other as mortal foes because they were vying for the Mysterious Heaven Fruit.
Now, with Lin Yun and the black-robed figure aiming for the fruit, their focus naturally shifted to them.
“You two pests, one at the Dominion realm, the other at the Mysterious Saint realm, dare to snatch the Mysterious Heaven Fruit under my nose? Dream on. Attack them,” the purple-robed old man roared, waving his hand. Two massive red energy wheels, formed from surging inner force, hurtled towards Lin Yun and the black-robed figure.
The purple-robed warriors he led also unleashed a barrage of attacks.
“Attack,” the white-robed man and Fifth Sister’s group joined in, launching various long-range techniques that surged towards Lin Yun and the black-robed figure.
After unleashing their attacks, both groups frantically rushed towards the Mysterious Heaven Tree.
Boom, boom, boom.
A storm of powerful attacks, shimmering with vibrant, varied colours and forms, poured down on Lin Yun and the black-robed figure.
“Damn it,” the black-robed figure cursed, forced to turn and counter the onslaught.
With attacks from two Heavenly Saints among them, he didn’t dare underestimate the threat.
“Haha, this is my chance,” Lin Yun thought, choosing to withstand the attacks head-on.
Boom, boom, boom.
The torrent of attacks struck Lin Yun, causing him to stagger and spit out blood.
After all, the barrage included strikes from two Heavenly Saints, enough to injure him.
Despite staggering, Lin Yun gritted his teeth and charged forward.
Though the attacks caused some injury and pain, his indestructible physique allowed both internal and external wounds to heal quickly, leaving no lasting impact.
Relying on his Dominion realm strength to vie for the Mysterious Heaven Fruit, Lin Yun’s physical resilience was a key asset.
He was also elated.
The black-robed figure, who had been ahead, was now delayed by countering the attacks, unable to withstand them as Lin Yun did.
“What?”
“This guy’s only at the Dominion realm, yet his physical strength is so terrifying?”
The two groups racing towards the tree were stunned to see Lin Yun endure their attacks.
A mere Dominion realm cultivator, dismissed by the two Heavenly Saints, had withstood a full wave of attacks with his body, survived, and retained full mobility.
What kind of monster was this?
Having endured the onslaught with his physique, Lin Yun successfully reached the Mysterious Heaven Tree.
“You dare, brat?” the purple-robed old man bellowed, trying to halt Lin Yun’s attempt to pick the fruit.
“You, a mere Dominion realm cultivator, have no right to touch the Mysterious Heaven Fruit. If you dare, I’ll skin you alive,” the white-robed man roared.
“The Mysterious Heaven Fruit is mine,” Lin Yun declared, ignoring their threats. With a surge of joy, he plucked the fruit.
As soon as the fruit was taken, the once-vibrant tree withered at a visible, astonishing rate.
“Run,” Lin Yun shouted, pushing his speed to the limit. He soared into the sky, fleeing frantically.
“Chase him.”
“Kill this arrogant Dominion realm brat.”
Both groups surged forward, pursuing Lin Yun.
As for the black-robed figure who had appeared, they had no time to bother with him. Their target was whoever held the fruit, and they chased Lin Yun.
The black-robed figure, furious, also joined the pursuit.
In the air, Lin Yun streaked across the sky at breakneck speed.
But he hadn’t escaped far when the purple-robed old man and the white-robed man caught up, gradually closing the distance.
As Heavenly Saints, they had a clear speed advantage.
“Brat, hand over the Mysterious Heaven Fruit now, and I’ll spare your life,” the purple-robed old man shouted while chasing.
“Give it to me, and I’ll let you live. If you give it to him, you’re dead,” the white-robed man barked.
“You’re wasting your breath. I’m not giving it to anyone,” Lin Yun retorted.
“If that’s your choice, I’ll have to kill you and take it. A Dominion realm cultivator daring to touch such a treasure? You’re truly reckless,” the purple-robed old man said, his tone sharp and filled with killing intent.
“Want to kill me? Sorry, it’s not that easy,” Lin Yun sneered.
With a wave of his hand, he donned the armour of the Heavenly Fire Temple.
“I’m a Heavenly Fire Lieutenant of the Heavenly Fire Temple. If you dare touch me, you’d better think twice,” Lin Yun declared loudly.
The Heavenly Fire Temple was one of the three top powers in Beiyan Territory, its influence undeniable.
Especially since this area wasn’t far from the temple, its deterrence should be even stronger.
As a member of the Heavenly Fire Temple, Lin Yun figured he might as well use its reputation to try and scare them off.
“Heavenly Fire Temple,” the purple-robed old man and the white-robed man exclaimed, their expressions shifting upon seeing Lin Yun’s armour.
But the purple-robed old man quickly scoffed, “Hmph, so what if you’re from the Heavenly Fire Temple? You came here alone, and I’m certain you didn’t report the Mysterious Heaven Fruit to the temple. Even as a member, you won’t take that fruit away.”
The allure of such a treasure outweighed Lin Yun’s affiliation. They were convinced that even if they took the fruit, Lin Yun wouldn’t report it to the temple. At worst, they’d spare his life to avoid repercussions.
By now, the purple-robed old man had caught up to Lin Yun’s back.
“Brat, if you won’t hand it over, die.”
His pseudo-saint-level long-handled warblade swung fiercely, unleashing a massive red glow that struck at Lin Yun’s back.
Lin Yun spun around, unleashing his full inner force and drawing his sword to counter.
Boom.
A piercing roar erupted as terrifying power poured out. Lin Yun was sent flying backwards, his insides churning from the impact.
The gap between him and a Heavenly Saint was indeed significant.
Fortunately, his strong physique and defensive capabilities meant the attack only caused discomfort, not serious harm.
