Chapter 596: Leisurely Treasure Seizure

The aura of the ripening fruit grew thicker, with half an hour left.

Xiao Feng's view from the tree was limited; he couldn't see the whole situation and didn't know how many strong ones were eyeing this fruit.

If some strong ones could teleport repeatedly, hiding where he couldn't see, they'd teleport over the instant the fruit ripened to pick it, then teleport away—he'd be furious.

He thought it over, and a simple plan came to mind.

Time ticked by second by second.

Soon the countdown reached about five minutes.

Xiao Feng sensed some energy fluctuations appearing; it seemed more strong ones were approaching this way.

The golden ape also couldn't hold back, climbing to over 200 meters in height, wanting to leap over and seize the fruit when it ripened.

At this moment, Xiao Feng quietly took out a piece of bluish‑black eggshell.

Then he infused it with source‑attribute divine power…

Hum~

A barely perceptible energy fluctuation appeared.

His figure vanished directly from the spot, his aura disappearing without a trace.

The sole use of the 2nd‑rank Supreme Treasure 【Sun‑Devouring Demonic Light Peacock Eggshell Fragment】 is to conceal aura, making both body and presence vanish.

Without main‑god‑level strength, one cannot see him; even a lesser main god must focus to detect his trace.

After turning invisible, Xiao Feng converted wind‑attribute divine power to make himself float in midair, arriving beside the fruit.

The Awakening Spirit Holy Bright Fruit is only fist‑sized; he floated beside it, one hand loosely gripping it, ready to pick it in advance.

Others can't see him; even if they teleported nearby and reached out, they'd grab his hand instead of the fruit.

"I'm really a genius, hehe~" Xiao Feng said, feeling pleased with himself.

The three‑clan strong ones lurking around noticed his sudden disappearance, were astonished, instantly became more vigilant, fearing he might appear beside them and attack.

Amid the strange atmosphere, another three minutes passed.

The fruit gave off an ever richer fragrance; the golden ape and other strong ones could no longer endure, ignoring Xiao Feng's hidden threat, they all rushed swiftly toward the fruit's direction.

"That's mine!" A black‑tiger‑shaped savage beast strong one leapt 200 meters up, reached the trunk, then used a push‑off to lunge toward Xiao Feng's former position.

He was still midair when the golden ape also leapt over; the two collided in midair, each retreating dozens of meters, landing on two different branches of the great tree.

"Golden ape, do you want to be my enemy?" The black tiger's aura was fierce, attitude arrogant, as if he didn't take the golden ape seriously.

The golden ape said: "All

of us are only one step away from becoming main gods; this rare opportunity cannot be given up!"

"Hahaha, well said, I also want this fruit." A bright laugh came from the air; a blue‑feathered immortal crane with a wingspan of 12 meters flew swiftly, startling wind and scattering fire, landing on the treetop.

Xiao Feng looked up; this blue‑feathered immortal crane is also a 500‑level top upper god.

He couldn't help wondering: in such a small place, four 500‑level title‑god‑rank strong ones have appeared—hard to imagine how many upper gods and main gods the Myriad Heavens Battlefield actually holds.

If we also dragged these three‑clan strong ones to challenge the Myriad Heavens Tower, the tower would probably be overwhelmed!

"Where did that human just go?" The golden ape rumbled.

The three sides each occupied a spot, their distances to the fruit about 200 meters; whoever moves first could be hit by a combined attack from the other two.

At this moment they feared Xiao Feng even more.

Xiao Feng, who had been hiding for two days, suddenly vanished—this is what puzzles them most.

The black tiger growled: "Most likely he's hiding, waiting for the final moment to pick the spirit fruit. If you insist on fighting me, you'll only benefit him in the end. Let me take the fruit; after I break through, I'll also guide you."

"You say that lightly—why not let me pick it? I can guide you too." The blue‑feathered immortal crane laughed on the branch, voice somewhat neutral.

With one minute left, the fruit's color began to gradually shift from orange to red.

"The time is up, I'm tired of talking with you—may the best win!" The golden ape roared, leapt, aiming for the nearest branch.

"Don't even think about it!"

The blue‑feathered immortal crane flapped its wings, sending out a cross‑shaped wind blade that cut a three‑meter‑thick branch of the spirit‑fruit tree, shooting straight at the golden ape.

The black tiger also sprang up, black mist rising from his body; a vague shadow of an ancient exotic beast could be seen behind him.

That is the bloodline of an ancient exotic beast; once aroused it can burst forth stronger power than an ordinary title god.

Bang!

Boom boom!

Swish!

The three great strong ones fought on the tree, trying to repel enemies while fearing their aftershocks would destroy the fruit, so they held back their strikes.

In the blink of an eye, the fruit's ripening time arrived.

At the last five seconds of the countdown, the golden ape reacted first; his figure flickered, leaving a weak clone to withstand the two opponents' attacks while his main body rushed toward the fruit.

"Come back!" The black tiger opened his mouth to suck, pulling in the golden ape's form to stop him from picking the fruit.

At this moment, the blue‑feathered immortal crane flickered,

and appeared directly beside the fruit.

Its huge, sharp beak pecked straight at the fruit, hoping to eat it on the spot.

But just as he was about to succeed, the fruit moved position!

Seeing the fruit ripen and turn red, Xiao Feng immediately plucked it with one hand.

He had wanted to store it in his pack, but the system prompted: 【Heavenly Earth Spirit Essence cannot be stored in storage space within 10 minutes of birth!】 Obviously it's encouraging a scramble, not letting someone just snatch it and hide in the pack then flee.

Although he couldn't store it in his pack, Xiao Feng didn't find it troublesome.

He retracted the treasure eggshell, left hand holding the fruit, right hand holding his staff, and his figure reappeared.

"Human! It really is you!" The enraged blue‑feathered immortal crane, having missed, opened its sharp beak, firing a thin beam of light.

Screech!

A beam of light struck Xiao Feng, causing over thirty million damage; for a Title God's strength, that is already a terrifying killing move, likely a Divine Punishment skill.

Unfortunately, for Xiao Feng, who possessed two Main Divine Artifacts on his person, it was nothing at all.

He withdrew his Wind Divine Power and plummeted directly from the sky.

The Black Tiger and the Golden Ape both ceased their fight and lunged at him to kill.

Three Title Gods attacked simultaneously, aiming only to kill him and seize the Awakening Spirit Holy Bright Fruit.

But… Xiao Feng completely ignored their attacks, and while falling, he immediately started gnawing on the fruit!

The bright red fruit gave off a tempting sweet fragrance; he opened his mouth and bit down, producing a crisp, juicy sound.

"Ahhh! Human! You deserve to die!!!" The Black Tiger, witnessing this scene, went berserk, its exotic beast bloodline fully activated, releasing a terrifying attack.

Boom!

The Divine Punishment-level Black Tiger Forbidden Technique struck Xiao Feng's body, blasting him away; with a booming crash he hit the ground, smashing the earth into a depression.

The ground of the Myriad Heavens Battlefield is extremely hard; being able to crater it here means one's strength is certainly not weak.

But the damage Xiao Feng's body showed was less than 100 million.

Darkness fell around his body; the passive effect of the Black Star Demon Ring had been triggered, reducing light levels considerably, though for a God-level Expert it basically had no effect.

The three great experts pursued and arrived, launching another attack.

Xiao Feng casually used Source Attribute Divine Power to erect a simple shield.

The attacks of the three Title God experts slammed into the shield, shattering it, but they failed to inflict effective damage on Xiao Feng, merely causing him to sink a little over a meter into the ground.

"Hmm, still pretty tasty." Xiao Feng took two more bites, eating the fruit clean right before their eyes.
