Something unexpected happened when all the forces were watching.
The tree trembled, and waves thousands of meters tall rose in the sea from movements deep underwater, as if a beast were stirring it at the bottom.
The crown of the tree emitted golden divine light that contained green energy. Suddenly, the energy was gathered on one of the branches and attracted all the energy floating in the air, forming a huge vortex.
A storm was caused, just as if a whale were playing with water.
“What’s going on?”
“Is the tree awake? It seems that something is about to be born!”
“It feels as if all the energy in the environment is being absorbed!”
All the forces were shocked and suspicious, eyes glittering. The tree was definitely remarkable, but nobody knew its effects. Such a manifestation had never happened before!
Far from the tree’s crown, a lot of the Blue Planet’s media representatives were streaming the scene remotely.
The tree had garnered the attention of all the planet’s inhabitants. Many were reluctant to give it away, but there was nothing they could do.
A lot of the battle pet warriors who had just been admitted in academies were still young men; they could only stand and watch the scene unfold.
Their blood was hot and all of them were infuriated, but watching the invaders take the treasure away was their only option.
Countless young men swore to themselves that they would grow strong and defend their hometown, so that they wouldn’t suffer such a humiliation ever again!
The light and energy underneath the crown gradually faded, revealing a crystal fruit that was more than five meters tall.
It was quite unique, surrounded by green leaves, and only the tip of the fruit was revealed.
“The tree has yielded a fruit!”
“It straight off bore a fruit! The fruit attracted the energy within a radius of thousands of kilometers. Considering the added essence of the tree itself, it must be very special!”
“The Baroque family will take the fruit!”
“Get lost! The fruit belongs to us!”
“Cut the crap!”
Whoosh!
Very soon, someone flew towards the divine fruit.
The space under the crown was sealed and nobody was able to break into the secondary space; they could only approach it with movement techniques. Even though none of them could do flash movements, they still dashed as quickly as lightning and soon reached the tree.
Bang!
Someone took action and blocked the man who reached the tree first, intending to take the fruit for himself—
But very soon, a third person attacked him, forcing him to defend himself, otherwise he would have been too heavily wounded to secure the fruit.
A great battle was about to happen. All the experts summoned their battle pets; the power of laws swept across the universe. Glamorous skills appeared; divine lotuses and giant swords attacked in midair, unleashing dazzling energy that felt like thousands of nuclear explosions. Their blasts could push a continent away!
The powerful attacks shadowed the experts and their pets. The natives of the Blue Planet who were seeing the battle from a distance—some who had just become Legends—were frightened by those exchanges and were only able to resist the blasts with their bodies.
The aftershocks of the attacks were already forcing them to retreat nonstop.
“Damn it!”
“That divine fruit must be marvelous, but they’re taking it away!”
A bunch of Legends of the Blue Planet stood at a distance with contorted expressions; together they tried to resist the blasts.
“Get the hell out of my way!”
Exactly at that moment—a roar burst out from their rear— several men flew close by and scolded the planet’s natives for crowding their path.
The natives showed a slight change in their expressions, but then they saw a giant purple hand aimed to slap them and push them away before they could dodge. Many Legends who failed to dodge in time vomited blood, and two Titled warriors were killed, with eyeballs popping out. Even their bodies had fallen apart.
“Natives? Don’t you know that you’re like ants? You think barbarians such as yourselves can get this fruit?” said a young man in disdain behind the giant purple hand.
He sprinted forward towards the battlefield along with several men behind him.
“Qin Yumu!”
“Liu Jian!”
Several roars echoed, and the wounded Legends rushed to the exploding mists of blood. There was nothing they could do except to watch the death of the Titled talents of their families.
All of them trembled with fury. They had been told that the Federation was a place where law mattered, but they didn’t know that the law of the jungle would still be the main theme. Strong enough people could ignore the law; or rather, the law was designed to defend their interests!
That tree belonged to the Blue Planet, yet they didn’t have a share in it and couldn’t even look at it.
Weakness was always the ultimate sin!
The Legends were angry but none dared to say anything. They clenched their fists with gloomy faces.
Boom!!
The battle ahead became fiercer by the minute. Power of laws exploded in the battle; the lingering energy was enough to wipe out many people in the Fate State. A lot of Legends who showed up to watch had been scared off; many feared that they could be accidentally killed.
Whoosh!
It was then when for some reason the recently condensed fruit suddenly broke free from the branch, then flew in a certain direction, leaving a golden trail of light behind.
“Not good! The divine fruit is fleeing!”
“It’s so fast. What kind of fruit is that? I think it’s very smart!”
“Chase it!”
The experts had no time to fight each other anymore; they quickly chased after the target.
While chasing it, they attacked each other and tried blocking the others.
While all those warriors competed—a spot of light had appeared in the space beyond the atmosphere like a glittering star. Then, the spot of light gradually grew big and revealed its true self, turning out to be a planet that was moving at full speed in that dark universe!
The planet, like an aggressive cannonball, was like a shooting star.
“This is the place. The Blue Planet is right up ahead!”
In Rhea, Su Ping stood outside his store. He no longer needed the map, as he was able to see the beautiful and blue planet expanding visibly in front of his eyes. The distance between them was quickly shortening!
The Blue Planet!
He was finally back!
Su Ping was quite excited; Green Lady had been pushing the planet dozens of times faster than a spaceship could’ve flown!
“Senior, lower the speed and approach it,” Su Ping said to Green Lady.
“Sure.”
Green Lady accepted the task; the rapidly moving planet decelerated. The inertial forces caused by the quick braking was offset by using her Ascendant State power, so that the residents on the planet only shivered a little bit when they saw that the stars in the sky slowed down.
“What’s that?”
“What a huge planet! I think we’ve slowed down!”
“Are we still in Zeruprun? Have we really been drifting this whole time?”
“Is it my illusion, or are we about to crash into that planet?”
“It’s so huge. What’s that planet? I don’t think it belongs to Zeruprun.”
All the people on Rhea were shocked; they kept on talking amongst themselves.
Many were frightened by the beautiful and blue planet becoming increasingly bigger in their eyes. The collision of two planets could even kill Fate State warriors; only Star State experts—who could flee from the planets in advance—would be able to survive such a dreadful blast.
However, the approaching planet stopped moving, which meant that Rhea had come to a stop, avoiding the impending crash!
Everybody on the globe was relieved. All the bigwigs of the Ryan family exhaled in relief too. All of them felt the cold sweat on their backs.
“Huh?”
It was then when Su Ping saw a huge cloud of energy in one of the Blue Planet’s seas. The energy cloud was colorful and massive!
Since he was close enough, he was even able to see some of the mountains.
“Is that…?”
Su Ping squinted and his face became cold.
He saw that many men were chasing after a golden streak of light inside the planet’s atmosphere!
On the other hand, an unimaginably huge tree crown could be vaguely seen in the cloud. It probably belonged to the ancient tree that the news had mentioned!
Su Ping had no time to feel amazed by the size of the tree anymore. As he looked at the chasers, he quickly realized that a battle had already started on the Blue Planet.
He simply wondered if Nie Huofeng was among them.
“Wait for me here. I’ll take a trip home!”
Inside the store—Green Lady dispelled her divine power and said to Su Ping calmly, “Go. I’ll bring you back immediately if you’re in danger; the distance between these two planets is short enough for me to manage. Take these pills too; two of them can increase your combat ability to the maximum and save your life. But take them as a last resort, because they will produce some side effects!”
She then waved her hand and threw several pills at Su Ping.
Two of the pills were packed in a red box and sealed with divine aura; they obviously looked extraordinary.
Su Ping didn’t stand on ceremony; he simply accepted them.
“Wait for me to come back!”
“How are you going to get there? Do you need a spaceship?” asked Tang Ruyan worriedly. She also wanted to tag along to visit her home.
“That’s unnecessary!”
Su Ping stepped out, with unmasked anger and aggression in his eyes.
Whoosh!
He suddenly disappeared from the store and dashed away.
A lot of the customers in the queue noticed Su Ping’s sudden disappearance. They showed faces of suspicion and surprise, not knowing where Su Ping was going.
The next moment—Su Ping appeared outside of Rhea’s atmosphere, tens of thousands of meters high in the sky.
Then, he tore an opening in the void and disappeared again.
Once he reappeared, he was already beyond the atmosphere in the vacuum of space.
He felt the radiation, the coldness and pressure of the cosmos; oxygen was no longer present.
Even so, Su Ping didn’t need to breathe; the cells in his body were blasting like billions of engines, boosting him towards the Blue Planet!
He then leaped down from space!
Bang!
Su Ping broke through and entered the Blue Planet’s atmosphere. His rapid fall caused friction, making his body look like a burning meteorite!
At the same time—the people on the Blue Planet were shocked by the events in the sky.
They noticed that a planet had appeared right above their heads!
It was even bigger than the Blue Planet; those who had telescopes were even able to see the buildings, cities and even the human beings on that planet!
Where is that planet from?
There was also another phenomenon: the planets were so close that their gravity should have influenced each other. However, both stood still quietly.
“W-What is that planet?”
“Oh my god, it’s so huge. I think I can see the mountains and cities on it!”
“There are people on that planet. There are so many of them!”
“Where is that planet from? It seems to have dashed over just now, but then it suddenly stopped!”
On the Blue Planet—the travelers from other planets were just as shocked as the natives were.
The sudden appearance of a planet was almost unbelievable!
It felt like someone was piloting the planet!
However, what kind of power could have pushed a planet as if it were a spaceship!?
Unimaginable!
“Look, someone’s coming!”
“A meteorite is making its way into the atmosphere!”
“Wait, that’s a human being. A burning human being!”
“Oh my god, did he just jump down from space? He seems to be going for the mysterious tree too!”
Countless people noticed Su Ping at that moment, just as he jumped to enter the Blue Planet directly from space.
The cameras of various media outlets were able to record when Su Ping was approaching the ancient tree. Thanks to the camera feeds, everybody across the globe saw clearly that the thing which was falling rapidly was a man who looked like the God of Fire!
“T-That’s…”
In a certain base on the Blue Planet—Nie Huofeng, who was treating his wounds, looked at the man on the screen and suddenly sat straight on the bed, with his eyes wide open!
His eyes were so keen that he had already recognized the face of the burning man.
Is it him?
Or is it an illusion!
It all happened in the blink of an eye. The next moment, having jumped straight down, Su Ping changed his trajectory and flew towards the golden streak of light like a shooting star.
Whoosh!
Given the gravitational acceleration and his own speed, Su Ping was so fast that he streaked across the sky like a beam of light!
Bang!
He then came to a sudden stop!
Su Ping’s feet landed in the sky as if stepping on solid ground. The immense blast caused such a loud noise that it was like the detonation of a nuclear bomb!
The blast was transmitted to the sea down below, too. The sea jolted, and waves of thousands of meters high were raised!
Su Ping stood in midair and raised his head.
The golden streak of light was coming at him at a high speed; he quickly took action and captured it with his bare hand!
After seizing it, Su Ping offset the violent momentum of that streak of light and finally saw that it was a fruit that looked like a corncob. It was wrapped in green leaves, but it didn’t have any kernels and the exposed part was quite smooth.
