Chapter 0983: Exchanging for the Demon Devouring Fruit

Jun Xuan felt his mind buzzing, filled only with endless dragon roars. Sensing the terrifying power behind him, in sheer panic, he neglected to activate the array’s restrictions. He waved his hand repeatedly, recalling the Sun-Destroying Spear that had been flung away by the Chaos Bell.
“Sun-Destruction!” Jun Xuan roared. He threw the Sun-Destroying Spear into the air; it spun rapidly, its body disappearing to transform into countless suns. These suns, like actual stars, hung high in the sky before plunging downward, all exploding to unleash a force akin to the destruction of heaven and earth.
This was Jun Xuan’s most powerful strike—and also the Sun-Destroying Spear’s strongest attack. It was a strike that required sacrificing the spear! After this move, the spear would suffer from backlash and be damaged, taking an unknown amount of time to recover. But he couldn’t care less now.
The terrifying dragon roar waves generated by the Dragon God’s Eight Tones collided continuously with this destructive force, producing incessant, horrifying sounds of impact. Even the four members of the Blood Demon Sect watching from afar paled greatly and quickly summoned their divine artifacts to protect themselves.
Yet, in the end, the dragon roar waves overwhelmed the destructive force. Before them, the destructive force was like a mighty river facing the vast ocean—no matter how strong the river, it could not resist the ocean’s immense power. As the destructive force dissipated, the suns in the sky vanished, revealing the Sun-Destroying Spear. But now, the spear, once glowing like the sun, was dim and lifeless. It tumbled from the sky like a withered leaf.
At the same time, a torrential wave of dragon roar waves surged toward Jun Xuan. His face was filled with terror as he hastily used the Extreme Mysterious Light Shield to block them. With a “bang,” both the shield and he were blasted away by the waves.
“Pfft!” As he fell backward, blood gushed from Jun Xuan’s throat. He then crashed down onto the Xuanhai Divine Palace below, shattering one of its halls. The Extreme Mysterious Light Shield drifted downward. Huang Long caught it in his hands along with the Sun-Destroying Spear. At the same time, the mouth of the Sacred Cauldron turned, sucking in fragments of the Heaven-Reversing Demon Wind.
Once the Extreme Mysterious Light Shield and the Sun-Destroying Spear fell into Huang Long’s hands, they trembled violently, trying to break free. Seeing this, Huang Long sneered, “If your master can’t escape, how can you escape from my grasp?” With that, a torrent of heavenly fire surged from his palm, striking the two divine artifacts with devastating force.

The two great divine artifacts were already damaged; this blast made them much more subdued. The Yellow Dragon wasn’t in a hurry to subdue them and instead placed them within the Sacred Cauldron Formation to suppress them, planning to take them under control later. The Yellow Dragon flashed forward and appeared above Jun Xuan, who was lying face down on the ground. At that moment, Jun Xuan struggled to stand up from the fragments of the palace. His hair was disheveled, his Tian Dao Sect robes tattered, his face pale, and his eyes lifeless. “Pfft!” As he stood up, he spat out more blood. “I said you can’t escape!” the Yellow Dragon said coldly. Jun Xuan tried hard to lift his eyelids, his eyes filled with a hateful, blood-thirsty glow. His voice was hoarse: “If you kill me, not even the Sage Pangu or the Sage Hongmeng can protect you. The Tian Dao Sect won’t let you go, nor will my master, the Central Sacred Lord!” “If I don’t kill you, will the Tian Dao Sect leave me alone? Will the Central Sacred Lord leave me alone?!” the Yellow Dragon sneered. Jun Xuan’s throat tightened, and he fell silent. The Yellow Dragon slowly raised his right hand, and a terrifying force began to gather within it—skyfire, purple lightning, and golden light flashing incessantly. “You!” Jun Xuan’s face turned deathly gray as he tried to retreat in panic. But the Yellow Dragon was faster. With a flash of his afterimage, he struck Jun Xuan in the chest with his palm. Jun Xuan flew backward and crashed again onto the Xuanhai Divine Palace, which collapsed in ruins. As he tried to get up from the debris, he fell again. This time, he couldn’t stand up. A clear palm print was visible on his chest. His Tian Dao Sect robes were already torn, and the flesh around the print was mangled. Waves of destructive energy were penetrating his body, eroding its vitality. “Cough! Cough! Cough!” Blood kept spewing from his mouth. “Save me!” Jun Xuan looked at Xue Wuya in the distance, raising his hand weakly. Xue Wuya, seeing his former enemy in such a pitiful state, felt pity but was about to speak when the Chaos Bell summoned by the Yellow Dragon crashed down, sending Jun Xuan flying once more. Then, the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron transformed into an array of three thousand Hongmong Divine Beasts and attacked. This strike utterly killed him! The Yellow Dragon waved his hands, drawing the Chaos Bell and the Heavenly Earth Sacred Cauldron back into his body, then looked indifferently at Jun Xuan, who lay on the ground, lifeless. The leader of the Tian Dao Sect, the fifth disciple of the Central Sacred Lord, the greatest sage among the three thousand world champions, ultimately died at the hands of the Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon approached him, grabbed his divine body with both hands, and placed it inside the Sacred Cauldron. Everything returned to calm. Xue Wuya and the three others from the Blood Demon Sect stood in the distance, too afraid to speak. The Yellow Dragon flashed forward and appeared before them.

“Huang, Brother Huang Long, you… this Xuanhai Divine Palace, we!” Xue Wuya snapped out of his daze upon seeing Huang Long approach and spoke up.
He originally intended to make it clear that the four of them would not compete with Huang Long for the treasures of the Xuanhai Divine Palace.
“Young Sect Master Xue Wuya, I’ve come this time because I need your help!” Huang Long interrupted.
“You need my help?” The four of Xue Wuya were stunned, and Xue Wuya quickly asked, “What is it? Brother Huang Long, please tell me!”
“I heard you bought a Demon Devouring Fruit from the Tianyi Hall in Tianyi Mansion three years ago,” Huang Long said. “I’m in need of a Demon Devouring Fruit to refine pills, so I’ve come to the World of Ten Thousand Demons to exchange for it.”
“A Demon Devouring Fruit?” Xue Wuya was taken aback, then looked troubled, but he didn’t refuse right away.
“I know you spent 200 first-class spiritual veins to buy that Demon Devouring Fruit back then. I can give you 2,000 first-class spiritual veins,” Huang Long continued.
“2,000 first-class spiritual veins!” Not only was Xue Wuya surprised, but the other three elders of the Blood Demon Sect were also greatly astonished.
In the end, Huang Long successfully obtained the Demon Devouring Fruit from Xue Wuya.
Of course, Huang Long didn’t keep all the treasures in the Xuanhai Divine Palace for himself either; he went in together with the four of Xue Wuya.
Once inside, they searched for treasures based on their own abilities.
Huang Long had fragments of the World Tree and the Spirit Gathering Jade, so he naturally found all the fragments of the World Tree and took them all.
To his surprise, there were more than a dozen fragments of the World Tree in the Xuanhai Divine Palace—each the smallest being over 3,000 li in size, and the largest over 20,000 li.
To what extent would the World Tree grow if these fragments were combined?! Huang Long’s eyes burned with excitement.
