Light Cultivation
Eps. 324 — Seven Heavenly Fruit
Jian Chen thrust his sword at the emperor which made him instantly breathe out his last breath.
Until he died, the Qilin emperor still widened his eyes, between fear and not accepting he died in such circumstances.
The action of Jian Chen who killed their leader made the imperial army able to regain control of his body, even though it was now free but their condition did not feel happy especially now Jian Chen's gaze was directed at him.
"This is my last warning, if you want to be alive then get out of here now before I slaughter you!"
Jian Chen said coldly but his voice sounded until the rearmost troops, not only was Jian Chen releasing a fairly concentrated death aura.
After taking thousands of lives, Jian Chen's death aura grew darker and had a range up to the size of a medium village.
Anyone within his reach will feel difficulty breathing, if they have a weak mentality it will be difficult to maintain consciousness.
Jian Chen's death aura managed to make the faces of the imperial troops expression pale, it was only the first time they saw such an extremely black murderous aura.
Jian Chen only released the aura of death for a few minutes before pulling it back but for the imperial troops the time felt so long.
"Get out of here before I change my mind!" Jian Chen again said loudly.
Without waiting for the second threat, the tens of thousands turned around and began to flee.
They already had no fighting spirit after Jian Chen had nearly killed at least ten thousand of their troops alone.
They could not see the limits of Jian Chen's strength much less after seeing his huge and terrifying water and fire element techniques.
Jian Chen saw the imperial troops getting further away from him, when they were already nowhere to be seen then Jian Chen dropped his butt in the sandbar.
Jian Chen could hardly stand up any longer after draining a great deal of his profound energy.
If only the imperial army still wanted to fight him Jian Chen was unsure of being able to survive them again or even defend his life.
"I think your business is done, don't you?" Lily was suddenly already beside him while staring towards the imperial troops who had already gone far away.
Jian Chen was a little surprised, he was sure Lily was not next to him a second before but the girl appeared like teleporting and was suddenly there.
"Can you not surprise me, you make my heart stop..." Jian Chen snorted in annoyance.
Lily just shrugged her shoulders, a sign she didn't care. The girl then questioned what Jian Chen was going to do.
"Actually I want to make sure they actually leave the empire but after thinking again it seems like it can be done later..." Jian Chen's gaze then combed around him. "We should bury each of these bodies, it would be dangerous if they were left for too long, the bodies of thousands would cause a disease outbreak in the future."
Lily immediately snorted. "We? Since when I said I'd help you take care of them, it's all you, not me!"
Jian Chen narrowed his eyes, he could see Lily's strength growing stronger after taking care of Yu Zhong. Although it was still in the King Realm but the strength of the girl was not far from the limits of the God Realm.
Jian Chen told the girl he needed some energy in Yin again, though slightly nagging Lily was not stingy sharing her inner power.
"It would be faster if I buried them this way... Elemental Earth — Earth-Splitting Waves!"
Jian Chen stomped his feet violently until the area around him shook strongly until the ground in his massage suffered a very intense crack.
From the huge crack, the bodies began to fall on the crack Jian Chen produced.
When everything had gone inside, Jian Chen swung his hand as soon as the crack retreated and within minutes, the bodies had already disappeared replaced by the wilderness as before.
Jian Chen heaved a sigh of relief after everything was over, he and Lily then returned to Yanghai city then entered the association inn.
Jian Chen collapsed on his bed, not only physically tired but mentally unshakable after killing thousands of humans.
However he could not ignore the many lives he had taken, Jian Chen was still a human being who had a human nature from birth, although he was used to killing many people but faced with a sea of corpses that he did it made his mental disturbed.
Jian Chen almost slept two days after, he woke up when the time was late at night.
"Hm, what happened to me?"
Jian Chen sensed his body could not be moved, on one hand only his eyes and mouth could move.
"You're awake, I think it's gonna take you a long time to wake up..." Lily was already standing not far from Jian Chen lying down.
"Lily, what happened to my body, why can't I move?"
"Hm, I'm actually the one who wants to ask first but it seems you don't know the answer either." Lily sighed, "I thought it had something to do with the fruit, I thought it was just a dream but it seemed like it was real..."
Jian Chen did not understand what Lily meant.
"Before you realized, I found your body glowing brightly in this inn, at first I thought you were cultivating but seeing you still asleep I guessed that all this was thanks to the heavenly fruit you had eaten."
The seven heavenly fruits that Jian Chen had told Lily were fruits that were eaten when Jian Chen dreamed of being given fruit by a woman.
Lily had indeed said that the seven fruits were indeed true but the girl could not believe Jian Chen had indeed eaten all seven of them in a dreamlike manner.
"You remember the seven heavenly fruits that I said before, the fruits of intelligence, wisdom, truth and so on. The fruit will not function directly when after ingestion, they take a very long time in the process in your body before you feel the efficacy of it..."
Lily said she had heard that the seven heavenly fruits have seven phases before the eater can feel the benefits.
At least each phase has a long distance and when the seventh phase is passed, then the eater will feel the efficacy of the fruit.
The fruit of wisdom that makes a person wise, the fruit of intelligence that makes a fool even a clever person. If Jian Chen ate it all then the man would become an unrivalled swordsman let alone he had eaten all seven of them at once.
