Chapter 1456 : Taiyi Immortal Fruit

Shortly after Eldrin achieved mastery, Lyra's Grand 5 Elements Pure Yin Divine Thunder also grew substantially more powerful.

However, Lyra's power of rules could not compare to Eldrin's Primordial Chaos rules, and her spiritual energy was slightly inferior by half a measure. When truly unleashed, its potency fell somewhat short.

However, Eldrin estimated that once Lyra broke through to the middle stage of Earth Immortal and her spiritual energy underwent a qualitative transformation, the Great 5 Elements Pure Yin Divine Thunder would become a lethal trump card capable of severely injuring even a Great Perfection Earth Immortal.

Having mastered the Great 5 Elements Yin Divine Thunder and the Yang Divine Thunder, the 2 had essentially achieved their objective.

With the objective of this journey accomplished, Seraphina Qu spoke up, "It is time for us to depart."

"Hmm."

Eldrin nodded and prepared to take his leave.

However, just before parting, Eldrin’s brow furrowed slightly, as if he had vaguely sensed something. Unconsciously, his footsteps stilled.

Seeing this, Lyra (Person Name) couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"A whiff of medicinal aroma, did you catch it?"

Eldrin spoke, his brow slightly furrowed.

Hearing this, everyone was momentarily taken aback. After carefully investigating, they all eventually detected the faint medicinal fragrance, and their gazes instinctively turned toward its source.

"That is..."

Qing Ji murmured, her brow slightly furrowed, "This medicinal fragrance... it originates from the heart of the Demonfall Continent."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions tightened slightly.

This time, as they set foot upon the Demonfall Continent, though they continuously sought opportunities, they deliberately avoided its central region.

The fundamental reason lies in the extreme peril of the Demonfall Continent. While survival remains possible in its peripheral regions, none who dared venture into the heartlands were ever known to return alive.

At this thought, Lyra couldn't help but remark, "If it's the core area, then we shouldn't go there."

"Not the core area."

Eldrin lowered his gaze in contemplation for a moment before speaking, "We should be at the periphery of the core region, still within the outer reaches of the Demon Fall Continent."

Everyone fell into a contemplative silence upon hearing this. Chen Qiyuan remarked, "Judging by the medicinal fragrance, this must be at least a Grade 8 supreme-grade immortal herb. Since we're still in the outer perimeter, we can observe the situation first."

"Very well."

Eldrin (Person Name) nodded and immediately took the lead, striding toward the source of the medicinal fragrance.

They flew for an unknowable length of time before finally discovering an ancient immortal herb atop a towering mountain not far from the heart of the Demonic Fall Continent.

Taiyi Immortal Fruit.

The moment he laid eyes on that ancient immortal herb, Eldrin’s heart jolted with shock, and an expression of utter astonishment flashed across his face.

At this moment, everyone's hearts trembled with profound shock, revealing a flicker of covetousness.

The Primordial Immortal Fruit was a legendary ninth-grade celestial herb, serving as the primary ingredient for the Primordial Immortal Elixir. It could assist perfected Earth Immortals in consolidating their Primordial Foundation.

Such a supreme treasure was truly priceless. In the Vast Azure Immortal Realm, countless Earth Immortals had cultivated to the Great Perfection realm, yet many would never obtain a single Taiyi Immortal Elixir(Pill) throughout their entire lifetimes.

If they could obtain this Taiyi Immortal Fruit and deliver it to the Grotto-heaven for refinement, they would at least be entitled to 1 Taiyi Immortal Elixir.

If their alchemy skills reached the Ninth Order, they could refine several pills in a single cauldron—however many they produced, they would keep—thus maximizing the value.

At this thought, Eldrin suppressed his inner excitement and carefully transplanted this Supreme Unity Immortal Fruit into the Earth Immortal Realm.

After completing this step, everyone was filled with excitement. They gazed at Eldrin and declared, "A stroke of fate—a heaven-sent opportunity!"

Eldrin nodded slightly. With this Supreme Unity Immortal Fruit, the hope for the clan members to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm had increased by a fraction in the days to come.

At this thought, he lifted his head and gazed toward the center of the Demonfall Continent, only to freeze completely in astonishment.

"What's wrong?"

Everyone noticed his odd behavior and couldn't help but glance over. Yet with just 1 look, their gazes became irrevocably locked.

There, at the heart of the Demonfall Continent, atop a towering mountain not far away, grew a full 7 or 8 stalks of the Taiyi Immortal Fruit.

"So much."

Everyone was utterly astounded, their hearts nearly compelling them to pluck the Taiyi Immortal Fruit.

At this moment, everyone faintly sensed that the heart of the Demon Fall Continent seemed to hold inexhaustible riches—and 1 supreme treasure capable of altering their very destinies.

"Something's not right!"

Eldrin murmured, his brow furrowing slightly as he stopped the others from making a move.

At this moment, Eldrin could distinctly sense that from the heart of the Demonfall Continent, some mysterious call seemed to be beckoning him forth.

That voice hinted to him that at the heart of this continent lay treasures beyond counting—the Taiyi Immortal Fruit, Primordial Qi, Innate Treasures, and more.

These treasures were countless; merely by stepping inside and gathering them all, they would be more than enough to sustain his cultivation all the way to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, Eldrin had condensed the Primordial Chaos Indestructible Dao Fruit, his Dao heart flawless and unbreachable, making it difficult for others to influence him. He immediately sensed something amiss.

He instantly suppressed the greed in his heart and spoke with utmost solemnity, "The Demonfall Continent is the land where ancient demons perished. Since time immemorial, none who set foot in its central region have ever returned alive."

"You must think this through clearly. While there are countless treasures within, you must be alive to claim them."

All of them had condensed flawless Dao Fruits, and now, sensing his words, they faintly perceived that something was amiss.

They exchanged a glance, then immediately withdrew and flew toward the edge of the Demonfall Continent.

"Alas!"

At the same time, a sigh echoed from the deepest reaches of the Demonfall Continent.

Atop a towering mountain peak, a pitch-black treasure orb floated and sank amidst endless stretches of bleached white bones, blanketing countless mountain ridges.

These skeletal remains all appeared to be left by immortals and even Earth Immortals. Before their deaths, they seemed to have desperately crawled toward the black luminous pearl at any cost, their final moments etched with expressions of utmost greed.

"What a pity, several Great Luo seeds actually managed to escape just like that."

"That man's Dao Heart is so resolute, it has already surpassed that of many Celestial Immortals. No wonder he could make me lose a Grand Unity Immortal Fruit."

The black orb slowly rotated, its voice devoid of any emotion yet carrying a faint trace of killing intent.

As the treasure orb rotated gently, at the very heart of this continent, countless Supreme Unity Immortal Fruits, Primordial Marvels, and other such priceless treasures all revealed their true forms, transforming into piles of pristine white bones.

The group finally breathed a collective sigh of relief after stepping out of the Demonfall Continent.

Eldrin glanced back toward the center of the continent, then stared coldly at the Great Unity Immortal Fruit in his hand. "To bait us with a Great Unity Immortal Fruit," he sneered, "the powers at the continent's heart have truly spared no expense."

Lyra’s gaze also sharpened, a trace of lingering fear in her voice as she said, “Had my husband not sensed something amiss, and had we remained blinded by greed, we would have narrowly escaped Eldrin’s scheme by a mere stroke of luck.”

Eldrin (Person Name) gave a slight nod and spoke, "Anyone capable of producing a Taiyi Immortal Fruit must be at least a Celestial Immortal-level existence. Yet they cannot act directly—most likely trapped at the continent's heart."

"However, such individuals may yet find a way to break free from their predicament. Since we have incurred their enmity, it would be prudent for us to remain cautious in the days to come."
