"Seize the Star Sparkles Fruits first!"
Suddenly, over a hundred people surged out from the six warships of the Tai King Tribe, charging toward the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree.
Boom!...
Rows of dark, menacing cannon barrels extended from the hulls of those six warships, emanating a dangerous aura.
The Tai King Tribe members had made their move!
"Go!"
The three Celestial Gold Race members shot forward simultaneously, causing the space around them to tremble violently.
The green-robed elder flicked his wide sleeves, his movements elegant and fluid as he streaked toward the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree.
At the same time, the Stone-born Saint Spirit, the purple-robed youth, and the six three-headed golden snakes all charged toward the treasure tree as well.
"Let's go too!"
Ye Yunfei said to the old Wizard.
Rumble…
Hundreds of Earth Dragons swarmed around Ye Yunfei and the old Wizard, lifting them into the air as they raced toward the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree.
As one powerful expert after another took action, the surrounding world instantly began shaking violently, as if being sieved, under the terrifying waves of energy.
"If you don't want to die, get lost now!"
A tall, imposing old man among the Tai King Tribe forces shouted ferociously.
Boom! Boom!...
Following his shout, the six warships erupted simultaneously. Dazzling pillars of energy shot out from the cannons, tearing through space as they bombarded the experts attempting to approach the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree.
"Seeking death!"
The three Celestial Gold Race members roared in anger. Three golden shields appeared in their hands, blocking the incoming energy beams.
The other experts also reacted, either summoning magic treasures or unleashing secret techniques to defend themselves.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, sending out over a thousand magic treasures. They were all activated at once, forming dense, swirling layers around him and the old Wizard, providing them with solid cover.
However, while the others were dealing with the energy beams, the Tai King Tribe forces had already closed in on the treasure tree.
They had mobilized a huge force for this, absolutely determined to obtain the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree and its Star Sparkles Fruits!
"Stop!"
Ye Yunfei shouted.
Whoosh!
With the old Wizard in tow, Ye Yunfei instantly executed a spatial teleportation technique, arriving near the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree in a flash.
"Scram!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei approaching, a dozen Tai King Tribe members immediately turned and blocked his path.
The rest of the Tai King Tribe forces dashed toward the dozen or so Star Sparkles Fruits, preparing to pluck them.
Rumble...
At that moment, the other experts also rushed close, each one releasing intimidating energy, killing intent thick in the air.
Despite the powerful attacks from the warships, these experts, each formidable in their own right, had forcefully fought their way through.
"Whoever dares contend with us shall die!"
The three Celestial Gold Race members suddenly flapped their wings and vanished. The next instant, they were already standing on the branches of the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree.
The physical bodies of the Celestial Gold Race were terrifyingly hard, and combined with their wings, they could easily tear through space to teleport. Thus, movement speed and technique were a major strength of theirs!
Clang! Clang!...
The three Celestial Gold Race members erupted simultaneously. Sharp weapons protruded all over their bodies, as if growing directly from their flesh—like extra arms capable of autonomous attacks, each immensely powerful.
This meant that each Celestial Gold Race member possessed a multitude of "arms"!
They charged at the Tai King Tribe forces, instantly clashing in a storm of energy that shook the heavens.
"Stop those three!"
The Tai King Tribe members hadn't expected the Celestial Gold trio to be so fast. The leading Tai King Tribe member roared.
Hiss! Hiss!...
Six serpentine tongues shot forth like swift bolts of light, slashing toward the Tai King Tribe forces.
The attack by the six warships had truly provoked the collective fury of the other experts.
Boom!...
A stone spear streaked across the void, continuously enlarging until it became a pillar propping up the sky in the blink of an eye. It smashed toward several Tai King Tribe members who were about to pick the Star Sparkles Fruits.
The Stone-born Saint Spirit had arrived!
"All these Star Sparkles Fruits are mine.
You may leave."
Just then, the crowd suddenly noticed that the youth wearing the feathered crown had somehow already appeared on the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree. He spoke coolly.
After speaking, he reached out to pick a nearby Star Sparkles Fruit.
"Star Sparkles Fruit can fill my precious body with vitality."
Almost at the same instant, the green-robed elder also appeared beside another Star Sparkles Fruit, reaching out to pick it. His gaze fixed on the fruit was full of intoxication.
The Star Sparkles Fruit was immensely beneficial to him!
At this moment, shielded by hundreds of Earth Dragons, Ye Yunfei and the old Wizard had also successfully reached the treasure tree, standing near a Star Sparkles Fruit.
"Let's pick one first!"
Ye Yunfei reached out to pluck the fruit.
But just then...
Buzzzzz...
A vast expanse of the distant sky instantly darkened as swarms of flying moths blotted out the sun—a staggering number, tens of thousands of them!
These moths were about the size of medium dogs, but they bore human-like faces and radiated fierce demonic aura.
"This treasure tree belongs to our Demonic Moth clan!
All of you, get lost!"
The leader, an exceptionally large Demonic Moth, screeched in human speech.
Buzzzzz...
In the next moment, tens of thousands of Demonic Moths arrived. The sky grew thick and swarming as they all vibrated their wings, creating hurricane-force winds that churned the air like a raging storm, causing the very space to boil.
Everyone's ears were filled with the overwhelming buzzing, making them dizzy-headed!
The sound waves these Demonic Moths emitted inherently possessed an impact upon the Soul Body.
As soon as they arrived, the Demonic Moths launched a frenzied collective attack. Each moth extended a hard, long sting from its tail—jet-black and gleaming—that struck like lightning and was highly venomous.
Under this assault by tens of thousands of Demonic Moths, no one could continue picking the fruits. All were forced to deal with the immediate threat.
"Those treasure fruits belong to our Devil Ant clan!"
At that very moment, another massive wave of dark, roiling clouds surged in from a different direction with astonishing speed, arriving instantly before the treasure tree.
It was a huge swarm of black flying ants!
These ants were about the size of house cats, completely black, with bodies of incredible hardness. Their claws were like thick steel rods, terrifyingly sharp, and they possessed serrated mandibles that resembled two large scimitars.
Tens of thousands of Devil Ants gathered together, forming a black cloud that was enough to make one's scalp crawl.
A moment later, the dense swarm of Devil Ants surged toward the Primordial Star-Sparkling Treasure Tree like a black flood tide.
"You've got to be kidding me."
Ye Yunfei felt rather speechless.
Acquiring the Star Sparkles Fruits would be incredibly difficult now, facing tens of thousands of Demonic Moths and tens of thousands of Devil Ants.
"These Star Sparkles Fruits belong to our Demonic Mosquito clan! Anyone who dares steal them, we will suck their blood dry!"
Just then, another massive swarm, this time of fist-sized Demonic Mosquitoes, came roiling in from the distance.
Their numbers were even greater—sixty to seventy thousand of them!
"Let's get out of here first.
Under these circumstances, there's no way we can seize the fruits."
Ye Yunfei frowned as he spoke to the old Wizard.
"Alright, let's retreat for now," the old Wizard nodded.
But just then...
"No need to leave.
You guys can't handle these critters, but I can."
A flash of golden light, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared beside Ye Yunfei.
