Chapter 1026 - 1334: Earth-level Superior Treasure, Beast Tide 2

"That's right, it's our Highness. The Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit here naturally belongs to the Great Xuan Dynasty." Lin Jin said, looking slightly pleased with himself.

6th Layer of the Spirit Platform, and wielding an Earth-level Top Grade Spirit Treasure—among the three forces in this Secret Realm, who could be a match for Her Highness?

Chen Mo lifted his eyes and looked over, only to see the numbers above this Thirteenth Princess's forehead change to 182300+318091.

"Gulp..." Chen Mo swallowed a mouthful of saliva. So this is the foundation of a top power—best not provoke, best not provoke.

"Humph. I don't care if you're the Lin Family or the Great Xuan Dynasty, or whatever Thirteen Princess—these Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits belong to my Dark Demon Leopard Race alone." Bao Lingfei restrained the shock in his eyes, then threw back his head with a skyward roar, opening his blood-drenched maw wide and crazily sucking in the Spiritual Qi of the entire valley.

As he continuously drew it in, his leopard body gradually grew larger. From half a zhang in size, it suddenly swelled to over one zhang, and the blood patterns on his body became three lines.

"Roar!"

Bao Lingfei opened his mouth and roared at the Thirteenth Princess, Lin Jin, and Lin Huai Xiao. A formidable aura swept out, and an immense gravitational force pressed down upon the three.

"Third Realm?!"

Feng Ying's expression completely sank, his face ugly to the extreme. Pointing at Bao Lingfei, he said, "Dark Demon Leopard Race, are you planning to defy the rules set by the three races back then?"

"Rules?" Bao Lingfei turned his head and looked at Feng Ying with contempt. "The rules only state that cultivators above the Second Realm cannot enter. There is nothing saying that cultivators who enter the Secret Realm cannot break through. And when I came in, your race's Great Elder personally tested me."

Speaking to this point, Bao Lingfei added, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot—the debt your Eagle Owl Race owes my race, we've always remembered..." Bao Lingfei slowly stepped forward a few paces, and the aura of the Third Realm suddenly pressed down on Feng Ying as well. He said coldly:

"If your Eagle Owl Race withdraws now, I'll spare you a way out."

Bao Lingfei had already long reached the point where he could step into the Third Realm at any time. If not for the pressure given by the Thirteenth Princess, he wouldn't have broken through, since he also wanted to break into the Spirit Platform Extreme Realm.

Now that he's already discarded the chance to reach the Extreme Breaking Realm, these nine Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits, the Dark Demon Race will take them all.

"What a big mouth. You really think just because you advanced to the Third Realm, I'll be scared of you?"

Feng Ying summoned an ancient bronze mirror, which hovered above his head. Lightning patterns of silver were cast upon the frame, along with the relief of an Eagle Owl. Gray-green bronze rust at the eyes of the relief condensed into dark red blood spots. Nine cracks shrank inward from the edge of the mirror toward its center, eerily vanishing half an inch from the mirror's knob.

The mirror surface was not smooth like water. Looking closely, one could see surging silver lightning coursing within.

"The Wind and Thunder Mirror!" Huang Su was startled and blurted out.

Because this mirror was originally one of the race's town-race Magical Treasures, a Celestial-level Middle-grade Treasure.

Later, it was damaged in a great battle and fell to Earth-level Top Grade, after which every successive Great Elder of the race was responsible for keeping it.

Unexpectedly, it had now been brought into the Secret Realm by Feng Ying.

Chen Mo looked at Bao Lingfei and Feng Ying.

One set of numbers turned to 366420.

The other became 140238+339900.

He couldn't help wanting to curse out loud.

You know, after he succeeded in cultivating the Circulation Sword Array and entered the Jade Secret Realm, he'd actually felt quite confident.

But now, seeing the Earth-level Top Grade Magical Treasures in their hands, Chen Mo couldn't help having the thought that "comparing people will piss you off to death."

He quietly retreated several steps, a plan forming in his heart: the moment things went south, he'd bolt.

"Wind and Thunder Mirror..."

Regarding this Magical Treasure, Bao Lingfeng had heard of it as well. A trace of solemnity surfaced in his eyes. He had also brought a Magical Treasure, but it was only Earth-level Lower Grade. Faced with two Earth-level Top Grade Magical Treasures, he didn't even bother taking his out to embarrass himself.

Who told the Dark Demon Leopard Race to walk the path of the ancient traditional Demon Race Cultivation System, with the race not good at Refining Treasure.

He turned his head to look at the Thirteenth Princess and the other two, his gaze finally settling on the Thirteenth Princess. He suddenly said, "Everyone is surely clear on the shameless conduct the Eagle Owl Race has shown several times before. Why don't we join hands this time and drive them out? As for the Spirit Fruits on the Pure Treasure Tree, our two races can split them evenly. How about it?"

The Thirteenth Princess's eyes flickered. Although she still had trump cards, there was no guaranteeing the Dark Demon Race didn't as well. Thus, Bao Lingfei's proposal was quite decent. She glanced at Lin Jin and Lin Huai Xiao.

She had been summoned by her mother Consort to act as outside support; in the end it still had to be decided by these two older cousins.

Lin Jin and Lin Huai Xiao exchanged a look. Lin Jin then stepped forward and pondered aloud, "We can agree, but there are nine Spirit Fruits and six of us. How do we divide them?"

Bao Lingfei glanced at the Profound Iron Spear in the Thirteenth Princess's hand and decided to bow his head first. "You take five, we'll take four."

Lin Jin looked at Lin Huai Xiao, and then both said they agreed.

Seeing that the Dark Demon Leopards and the Lin Family had already allocated the ownership of the Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit, Feng Ying's mouth couldn't help twitching. He'd originally wanted to say something threatening to scare them a bit.

But thinking that both races' strength was no weaker than the Eagle Owl Race's—especially with the Lin Family having the Great Xuan Dynasty behind it—Feng Ying swallowed his threats back down.

He turned his head, intending to ask Huang Su and Chen Mo for their opinion.

But then he discovered that Chen Mo's figure had already retreated several zhang away and was frantically harvesting the Spirit Grass in the valley.

Feng Ying's mouth twitched even more violently.

Huang Su, along with the three from the Dark Demon Leopard Race and the Lin Family, noticed the change in Feng Ying. Following his line of sight, they also saw Chen Mo, who was madly harvesting the Spiritual Medicine. For a moment, none of them knew what to say.

"Fine, you're ruthless. I'll remember this debt." Feng Ying ground his teeth and chose to retreat.

With both sides allied together, the three of them were absolutely no match and could only swallow this loss.

"At least you know your place." Bao Lingfei let out a cold laugh. Seeing that they were retreating, he didn't press the attack, letting them go.

After all, seizing Spirit Fruits was a dispute of interests.

But if they killed people, the conflict would become much greater.

Before this, the Eagle Owl Race had snatched five Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits across four attempts, yet hadn't killed anyone.

Seeing that Feng Ying hadn't stubbornly forced a fight, Chen Mo also let out a long breath of relief inside.

Though he'd mentally prepared to run, if Feng Ying and Huang Su ended up in trouble while he alone survived, he'd have no way to answer to the Eagle Owl Race. Chen Mo didn't dare pin all his hopes on Huang Yi's shoulders, so Feng Ying knowing when to retreat was the best outcome.

"Boom boom boom..."

Just then, the earth suddenly shook violently, and a series of low Demon Beast howls came from beyond the valley.

"What's happening?"

Everyone in the valley was taken aback.

Feng Ying, Huang Su, and Chen Mo all halted their steps, raising their eyes to look toward the mouth of the valley.

Very soon, densely packed Demon Beasts charged in from outside the valley. They thundered across the ground, making the earth tremble.

"A Beast Tide..."

Seeing this scene, an identical thought surfaced in everyone's mind.

"Hurry and pick the Spirit Fruits." Bao Lingfei gave a low shout to Bao Dong and Bao Liang.

The Thirteenth Princess moved even faster. Raising her jade-like hand, she reached out across the distance to pluck the Seven-Turned Spirit Fruits on the Pure Treasure Tree. But she soon sensed something and quickly stopped, body flashing aside.

"Boom!"

The spot where the Thirteenth Princess had just been standing turned pitch black, thunder arcs shooting in all directions.

Feng Ying had made his move.

He sensed that the arrival of the Beast Tide was an opportunity for them.

After repelling the Thirteenth Princess, Feng Ying shot toward the Pure Treasure Tree at high speed. Just as he was about to pick, he was driven back by Bao Lingfei.

Hovering over Bao Lingfei's head was a bone-shaped Magical Treasure, blocking Feng Ying's way.

The repelled Thirteenth Princess appeared behind Feng Ying, Profound Iron Spear in hand. Feng Ying's sneak attack just now had angered her.

"Caw!"

With a clear cry, while everyone's attention was locked on the Thirteenth Princess, Feng Ying, and Bao Lingfei, the unnoticed Huang Su suddenly summoned a Purification Bottle–shaped Magical Treasure. He captured one Seven-Turned Spirit Fruit from the Pure Treasure Tree, and just as he was about to capture a second, the Thirteenth Princess noticed. Huang Su decisively reverted to his true form, withdrew the Magical Treasure, and soared into the sky.

Seeing this, Bao Lingfei immediately moved to intercept. But just then, the Thirteenth Princess, who had been blocking Feng Ying, suddenly darted toward the Pure Treasure Tree.

Bao Lingfei looked up and saw that the Beast Tide was already upon them.
