Chapter 97: Eat a Peach, It's a Trap!

Lin Potian turned his head to look at Lin Feng, shaking his head with a laugh: "Feng'er, I never expected that you were the true Child of Luck, to have actually discovered an Immortal Emperor-level ruin!"

Lin Feng had a strange expression upon hearing this, unable to help but take a step back, and braced himself to say: "Ancestor, let's not talk about that for now. I just want to know who you have been talking to this whole time?"

Lin Feng was about to lose his composure; ever since they entered this underground space, the ancestor had been talking to himself, and he was completely numb!

Even... Lin Feng suspected that the ancestor might have a split personality.

Lin Potian was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted; Feng'er could not see the Tower Spirit of the Tongtian Tower, the Sheng Huang. According to the Sheng Huang, his dimension was extremely high, and those below the Great Emperor realm would instantly explode and melt if they saw his true form!

Although he did not know if the Sheng Huang was exaggerating, Lin Potian did not want to test it; it was better to be safe than sorry!

"It's nothing, just talking to someone special, it's just that you can't see him, Feng'er." Lin Potian shook his head and chuckled, describing the Sheng Huang as someone special.

"Uh... alright."

Lin Feng scratched his head, understanding that the ancestor did not want to talk about it. Just as he was about to change the subject and ask if the members of the Lin Family were still alive...

Rumble!

A tremor interrupted their conversation. The Black-Hand Peach suddenly shook violently, its branches and leaves twisting, and a thick branch slowly drooped down, hanging from it was a crystal-clear peach emitting a faint luster!

The peach swayed gently, finally stopping steadily in front of Lin Potian, and an alluring fruity fragrance permeated the air...

On the trunk of the Black-Hand Peach tree, facial features gradually grew, looking at Lin Potian with a fawning expression, and a voice that was indistinguishable as male or female came out: "Descendant of that person, please have a peach!"

"Oh, no rush."

Lin Potian's eyes lit up for a moment, but he could not see through this crystal-clear peach, so he could not help but frown slightly. Out of caution, he did not reach out to take it.

Seeing this, Lin Feng looked at the branch on the crystal peach, his eyes lighting up, and he said happily: "Ancestor, this is a fruit grown on the supreme-grade branch of the Black-Hand Peach!"

Lin Potian's brows twitched, "Feng'er, explain in detail."

Lin Feng immediately cleared his throat and introduced it in detail: "Reporting to Ancestor, this Black-Hand Peach has a total of three thousand six hundred fruiting branches. There are one thousand two hundred low-grade branches; they bloom every thirty thousand years and bear fruit every thirty thousand years. Consuming one can cleanse the marrow and improve one's Human Dao major realm without any side effects!"

"There are one thousand two hundred mid-grade branches; they bloom every sixty thousand years and bear fruit every sixty thousand years. Consuming one allows one to instantly become an Immortal from the Emperor realm, or for cultivators below the Great Emperor realm, to ascend directly to Great Emperor!"

"There are one thousand one hundred and ninety-nine high-grade branches; they bloom every ninety thousand years and bear fruit every ninety thousand years. Consuming one allows one to break through an Immortal Dao major realm without any side effects, effective for the Immortal Monarch Realm and below!"

"As for this single supreme-grade branch, it blooms every one hundred and twenty thousand years and bears fruit every one hundred and twenty thousand years. Consuming it also allows one to break through a major realm without any side effects, but the effect is even more potent, effective for the Immortal Venerable Realm and below!"

Lin Potian listened in shock; this was no Black-Hand Peach, calling it an Immortal Peach would not be an exaggeration!

"Feng'er, how do you know so much?"

"Ancestor, the Black-Hand Peach told me. I ate a low-grade peach, and it really did raise my cultivation by a major realm instantly! But as for these Immortal Monarch and Immortal Venerable realms, I don't really know what they are..."

Lin Feng scratched his head, telling everything he knew truthfully.

At this moment, the human face on the peach tree chuckled and spoke: "Descendant of that person, please accept this peach."

Just as Lin Potian was preparing to take it, the Sheng Huang's grave voice sounded in his heart:

"Don't take it, this peach tree has a trap!"

"Everything your descendant said is true, but this peach alone... is fake! Absolutely... do not take it!"

As the words fell, Lin Potian's heart tightened; before he could even withdraw his hand, the peach from the supreme-grade branch fell down!

At the very last moment before it landed in his hand, Lin Potian flipped his hand, and the peach immediately fell to the ground. Upon touching the ground, it...

Exploded instantly!

Bang! Following a burst of green smoke, a figure lunged out, covered in black mist, with blood-red eyes, shrieking as it pounced toward Lin Potian!

"Ancestor!"

Lin Feng cried out in horror; the sudden turn of events left his mind blank!

"Small tricks!"

Lin Potian snorted coldly. Thanks to the Sheng Huang's warning, he had been prepared. He slashed out with his sword, and the black mist was annihilated!

"Black-Hand Peach, I see you do not hold me, the Sheng Huang, in your eyes!"

The Sheng Huang shouted sharply, his figure flashing as he instantly leaped out from the Tongtian Tower. His body was surrounded by brilliant golden light, like a god descending into the world!

Lin Potian instantly blocked Lin Feng's six senses, and a golden light enveloped him, sending him to a safe area.

Lin Potian did not dare to gamble. Based on the Sheng Huang's entrance, it was likely exactly as he said: those below the Great Emperor realm would explode just by looking at him!

Seeing the Sheng Huang attack, the human face on the Black-Hand Peach tree ignored it entirely, only looking at Lin Potian and smiling coldly: "What a pity, that didn't kill you!"

"Did you mistake me for someone else? I have never even met you!"

Lin Potian was full of question marks upon hearing this; he really could not understand why this Black-Hand Peach would attack him!

Its fawning expression just now was all fake; if not for the Sheng Huang's warning, he would have really fallen for it!

For a moment, Lin Potian even suspected if this peach tree had mistaken him for someone else.

"How could I be mistaken? You carry the Tongtian Tower, and you have his Dao Seed on you, hehe... You are his descendant, you deserve to die!"

The Black-Hand Peach tree let out a weird, cackling laugh and actually grew legs. Ignoring the Sheng Huang's attack, it charged straight at Lin Potian, countless branches dancing wildly as they whipped toward him!

"This peach tree is actually this strong?"

Lin Potian's expression changed drastically. The Immortal Dao strength of these branches had reached a level he could barely comprehend, far stronger than any Immortal Monarch he had fought before!

Being struck by one would surely be unbearable!

Just as the branches were about to strike Lin Potian, the Sheng Huang stepped out, grabbed the branches, and crushed them all, speaking coldly:

"Insulting my master, I see you are truly seeking death!"

Boom, boom, boom...!

The Sheng Huang's aura grew increasingly powerful. He lifted his hand slightly, and a beam of white light flew out, wrapping around Lin Potian and landing him far away. His expression grew colder and colder; he stood still, quickly forming seals with one hand, chanting as he did so. Ancient and mysterious incantations echoed underground, triggering ripples in space!

"Sheng Huang Sky-Breaking Slash!"

Following the Sheng Huang's clear whistle, he pushed his hand seal forward violently. An extremely sharp sword beam tore through the sky, carrying endless majesty and destructive power as it slashed down fiercely!

From the moment this Black-Hand Peach attacked Lin Potian, the Sheng Huang had already understood that this was a confrontation between him and this Black-Hand Peach—no!

It was a duel with this Reincarnation World Tree, a contest between supreme treasures...

A battle between an Emperor and an Emperor!

Because the Holy Emperor knew very well that Liudaolunhuidi and his master once had a feud, but he did not expect that even after so much time had passed, and he himself had almost forgotten, the World Tree would still remember!

But the attempted assassination of Lin Potian had already touched the Holy Emperor's bottom line!

Then... kill!
