Chapter 166: 4 episodes Godly Kingʼs Way 3 The Decision of Thunder Ancient Country

Within the territory of Thunder Ancient Country, there was an ancient tree nurtured by heaven and earth, known as the Frost Fruit Tree. Every 196 Eras, the tree would bear fruit, producing Frost Fruits that were a kind of auxiliary resource for cultivating the Primordial Bloodline.

”The Frost Fruit Tree is about to mature, and the warriors from the Flame Wind Ancient Countryʼs Primal Chaos Realm could come to snatch it at any moment.” The guardian responsible for the Frost Fruit Tree was also a mighty warrior at the Pinnacle of Primal Chaos Realm.

He had ceased his cultivation in recent days, fully controlling the Formation with all his heart and mind, always vigilant against incoming enemies.

Every 196 Eras, during the time when the fruit is maturing, powerful warriors would be stationed as guardians.

”With my strength, combined with the Formation set up by the Godly King, even if a Transcendence of Primal Chaos Realm were to take action, I could hold them off for a while. Moreover, those Transcendents of the Primal Chaos Realm wouldnʼt covet these fruits,” the gray-robed elder thought.

Each harvest yielded only eight fruits, worth a mere eight thousand Merit Points. Generally, Transcendents of the Primal Chaos Realm couldnʼt break the Formation in a short time, and Thunder Ancient Country would send reinforcements.

”Itʼs close.”

”The Frost Fruit Tree should mature tonight,” the gray-robed elder continued to watch. As time slowly passed, suddenly—

The ancient tree, which looked like it was carved from ice, suddenly radiated a dazzling, icy white light, and then all of the cold white light merged into the eight fruits.

Just at that moment—

Whoosh!

The Black River World arrived, completely sealing off the area where the Frost Fruit Tree stood.

”This is bad,” the gray-robed elder exclaimed in alarm, as he instantly picked the freshly ripened fruits.

The vast, black waters swept in, infiltrating and breaching the Formation laid by the Godly King right before the frightful force. It wasnʼt able to stop the riverʼs invasion.

The gray-robed elder looked around in all directions, wanting to escape in the form of a gray fog, but he couldnʼt penetrate the Black River World.

”A world seal, the Black River Domain, is this Great Saint Luo He?” The gray-robed elderʼs heart trembled.

The black water reached in front of the gray-robed elder and coalesced into a figure, the spitting image of Luo Feng.

”Great Saint Luo He,” the gray-robed elder immediately greeted with respect, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

”Give me the fruits,” Luo Feng said, looking at him.

”Yes.”

The gray-robed elder very obediently handed over the eight fruits to Luo Feng without any resistance.

He was concerned that if he resisted, Luo Feng might kill him! Then the Weapon Secret Treasures he carried would be stolen. That would be far more valuable than the eight fruits.

”Phew.” After securing the eight fruits, the black river water and the vast expanse of the Black River World vanished without a trace in an instant.

The gray-robed elder then breathed a sigh of relief: ”This Great Saint Luo He is quite merciful, he didnʼt lay a finger on me.”

Since Luo Feng had decided on a mass harvest of the treasures of heaven and earth, he hadnʼt thought about slaughtering guardians on a large scale! Firstly, with his current strength, being among the strongest in the First Realm of Godly King, killing these much weaker beings felt like bullying. Secondly, killing too many guardians would have too great of a karmic impact.

These guardians from the Primal Chaos Realm... had their own backgrounds and factions in Thunder Ancient Country. Making too many enemies, killing too many of the lesser ones, might provoke some of the older ones.

Most importantly, Luo Feng disliked those who kill indiscriminately.

His intention in harvesting the treasures of heaven and earth on such a large scale was to force Thunder Ancient Country into negotiations, to earn an opportunity to enter a treasure land.

He had no choice, he wasnʼt from the Imperial Clan of the two Ancient Countries! And not willing to cooperate with an Alien Race, he could only resort to this method.

...

In Thunder Ancient Country, at the holy land ʼMt. Leitingʼ.

A Godly King wearing a deep purple robe sat there, dealing with a multitude of trivial matters, as vast amounts of information about the huge Ancient Country flowed in one after another.
