Infinite Fighting

Chapter 328 Saving the World?

Under the moonlight, two figures riding armored dragons are approaching the Moon Forest.

“The Moon Forest is just ahead,” said Jura Ortega, a female orc with a single horn and silver hair, to the man beside her.

"I saw."

The person who answered her was a burly man in black armor. He had a square face and calm, unwavering eyes, but there was a hint of weariness in them.

This man was none other than Ignazio, the emperor of the Niels Empire.

His exhaustion stemmed from having too many things to do and too little time.

“Let’s go, we don’t have much time left. We must collect all the artifacts as soon as possible and revive Apache,” Injazio said.

Immediately, they urged the dragons beneath them to fly straight towards the center of the Moon Forest.

at the same time.

Inside the Moon Forest.

The Moon Clan are celebrating the revitalization of the Moon Spring.

The high priest named Sergio's attitude towards Zhang Ji underwent a complete 180-degree change, and Zhang Ji had become a guest of honor.

Although he still had doubts about whether Zhang Ji was an incarnation of a god, he had at least helped them repair the Moon Spring, and for that alone, Zhang Ji deserved their respect.

Zhang Ji ate the local specialties, including roasted meat from farmed magical beasts and a variety of fruits.

This place is indeed rich in resources, and the upper limit of Moon Branch is very high.

It can accelerate the growth of any plant to maturity under the moonlight.

If this world has the seeds of the World Tree, it could directly trigger a wave of "spiritual energy revival".

Unfortunately, the potential for special plants in this world is not high. Due to environmental limitations, even (excellent) grade exotic plants are rare.

So even though the Moon Clan had the Moon Branch, they only managed to create this forest.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Moon Clan itself lacks ambition.

They were not genetically predisposed to aggression from the beginning; to put it bluntly, they were merely tools shaped by their upbringing to provide a means of faith.

Now they've even been abandoned by their gods, who didn't take them with them when they fled.

The reason it was described as fleeing rather than dying was because Zhang Ji observed the corresponding information through the statue.

The traces left by the moon goddess indicate that she left with most of her assets.

To Zhang Ji's surprise, the other party did not choose to take Yuezhi away.

Is it out of fear of the power of the time-space artifacts?
Zhang Ji felt this was the most likely possibility.

Even he often wondered if the [Limit] was a backup plan left to him by some powerful being, and whether he was just a pawn.

But later I didn't care anymore.

Who cares?

As long as things are still under our control, that's enough.

Having died once, Zhang Ji is now much more carefree.

They've completely embraced a life-enjoying attitude.

At this moment, Sergio is holding a sacrificial ceremony to plant a moon fruit tree and then use moon branches to make it grow bigger.

He buried a seed in the hole he had dug, and began to chant a prayer, the gist of which was to thank the Moon Goddess for everything she had given him. Meanwhile, the other Moon Clan members danced and joined in the chant.

After the prayer, he placed a crystal-clear branch, illuminated by the moonlight, above the hole where the seed had been planted, and gently shook it, causing some pure white specks of light to fall.

Zhang Ji observed carefully and could see that the seed had undergone some changes, and its information state had been rewritten.

Immediately, a tender sprout emerged from the buried soil, quickly shooting upwards and growing branches and leaves. In just three breaths, a lush moon fruit tree grew and was laden with fruit.

Members of the tribe rode moonwing beasts to the top, picked the fruit, and brought it down to the ground to share with everyone.

Zhang Ji also received one.

This is still a (Fine) grade item.

While eating, Zhang Ji roughly understood how Yuezhi operated.

Using it under the moon is a prerequisite, and the process of stimulating plant maturity is also subjective. Within a certain range, only the plants that the user wants to stimulate will be affected.

Its essential spacetime rules feel more like "maturity" or "growth," but they should also have some connection with the moon.

The moon, as a celestial body, also possesses certain unique characteristics.

As a celestial template that has spread to countless worlds, it naturally represents certain information.

Cold, clear, bright, calm, gentle, sheltering, healing
So, combining all these elements, perhaps it would be "Maturity Under the Moonlight"?
That's what it's called, but moonlight and its function aren't really related. In fact, it's not the growth energy that it absorbs and transforms from moonlight, but rather it's generated out of thin air.

Logically speaking, it's a very strange spacetime rule, as if a prerequisite was deliberately added to avoid conflicts with other spacetime rules.

Of course, this strangeness is only based on the perspective of most of the conventional world.

The rules of spacetime are illogical and unreasonable; the absence of logic is the norm.

Just then, Zhang Ji's gaze suddenly turned to the horizon.

It possessed a very powerful aura, almost on par with the current strength of the vessel it embodied, and the opponent also possessed a spacetime artifact.

"Roar~!"

Amidst the singing and dancing, the roar of the flying dragon rang out, and the frightened moonwing beasts scattered in all directions.

Immediately, the two enormous flying dragons and two figures descended from the sky.

Ignazio and Jura leaped off the dragon and headed straight for Sergio.

The Moon Clan members were all a little confused about what was going on.

"Outsiders, you are not welcome here!" Sergio roared.

“Please give it to us,” Zhula said, looking at Yuezhi.

"The Moon Branch is a divine artifact bestowed upon us by the Moon Goddess. Outsiders, you have no chance!"

As Sergio spoke, a silvery-white light gathered in his palm and was released toward Jura.

"Whoosh!"

The magical light wave was released, but it was blocked by Jura raising her hand and then dissipated. The surrounding wind was fierce, but it did not cause any harm to Jura.

Then, with lightning speed, she grabbed Tsukishima. Before Sergio could react, Tsukishima was in Jura's hands.

The gap between the two sides is too great. Jura is a fifth-tier legendary expert, while Sergio is only a third-tier hall-of-fame expert.

“We’ve got the stuff, let’s go,” Ignazio said.

From beginning to end, the two of them ignored everything around them and didn't take the Moon Clan people seriously.

"The High Priest!"

Yes only then realized what was happening and rushed over quickly.

“Dimitri, don’t worry about me, get the Moon Branch back,” Sergio said.

Yes did as instructed, but just as he was about to make his move, he stopped.

Because he recognized that face.

Ignazio, the emperor of the Niels Empire.

But why, why did he come here? And why did he take their Moon Branch?
The two did not respond to Yes's strange behavior and continued to act on their own.

“There are also divine artifacts here, not just one, but three,” Jula said to Injazio after closing his eyes and sensing them for a while.

“Where?” Ignazio asked.

Then Jula looked at Yes, who was rushing towards them, and pointed to Zhang Ji, who was still sitting in the distance eating fruit.

"Take it out," Jula said to Yes, then, fearing Yes might not have understood, added, "The artifact!"

Yes instantly realized that the other party had come for the gem hammer on his body.

The instinctive reaction is to back away.

But Jula was even faster than him.

Before Yes made a move, Jula anticipated his actions and reached out to grab the jeweled hammer that Yes had been hiding in his chest.

As a seasoned stealth stalker, Yes instinctively used stealth techniques, his figure disappearing into the shadows while simultaneously wielding his dagger to stab Jura.

But it's all in vain.

The dagger missed its mark, but the figure disappeared into the shadows. Unfortunately, the jeweled hammer on the chest was gone.

Zhula stored the gem hammer she was holding into her spatial artifact and then walked towards Zhang Ji.

"Please give me the artifact," Jula said, just as before.

Although each time it ended in a robbery, she would always make a request beforehand.

If the other party agrees, that's best; if not, she'll just snatch it directly.

"What is your purpose in collecting these time-space artifacts?" Zhang Ji asked.

“You’re not the first to ask this question, but the answer is too complicated. I can only tell you simply that the world is about to be destroyed. We must use a divine artifact to revive a great being and borrow His power to save the world,” Jura said.

"Save the world? How come nine out of ten worlds need to be saved?" Zhang Ji said with a slightly strange expression.

“This is not an excuse or a joke. We have limited time, and I hope you will give me the artifact as soon as possible,” Jula said.

“It’s not that I don’t trust you, but I think I could handle this as well,” Zhang Ji said.

Jura was speechless.

She decided to stop wasting words with Zhang Ji and reached directly for the spatial artifact beside him.

This time, her hand was stopped.

Zhang Ji grasped her wrist and gently pushed her arm to the side.

In an instant, she realized that Zhang Ji was no ordinary person.

So she increased her speed and strength.

However, Zhang Ji also increased his speed and power simultaneously.

"Bang~!"

With a loud bang, Zhang Ji's hand gripped Zhula's wrist like a vise, and no matter how hard Zhula tried, he couldn't break free.

"Let her go!" Ignazio said.

Along with the sound came Ignazio's sword-drawing attack.

Zhang Ji released the unicorn's hand, his body surging with shimmering white inner energy as he met the incoming sword strike with his fingers.

As his fingers collided with the sword, Zhang Ji absorbed and neutralized the opponent's force, preventing significant damage from occurring.

“Let’s go up there!” Ignazio invited Zhang Ji.

“That works too,” Zhang Ji nodded.

The two completed their duel and flew into the sky in unison.

"No, don't hit him!" Jura said.

As a unicorn, a divinely created creature symbolizing order and peace, Jura had already noticed Zhang Ji's unusual behavior.

But it was too late; the two figures had already collided for the first time high in the sky.

A tremendous roar, accompanied by a dazzling energy explosion, sent violent shockwaves spreading in all directions.

Ignazio didn't quite agree with Jura's approach; he preferred to just go for it directly.

Still explaining, still making requests?
You want someone else's amazing tool, why are you being so polite?
Do you think people will give it to you just because you're polite?
So, we have to start fighting!
Ignazio's sword strikes grew increasingly powerful, but Zhang Ji, who was meeting his attacks, remained remarkably relaxed, which made Ignazio's heart sink slightly.

"Another divine artifact that can enhance combat power!"

“It’s not power obtained through divine artifacts,” Zhang Ji retorted.

“Whether it is or not, it doesn’t matter, I will bring it over!” Ignazio said.

With time running out and tasks piling up, it would be a waste to waste even half a word on someone like this.

The next moment, Ignazio roared and his figure changed, and a huge black dragon, over a thousand meters long, appeared in the void.

The Book of Bloodlines is a divine artifact that Ignazio possesses and uses.

This book can be used to record and imbue living beings with their bloodline.

He now possesses the bloodline of the ancient sixth-order demigod Black Dragon King.

He has developed this bloodline to a very high level, and in this world, apart from the reappearance of a true god, there will be no being that can defeat him.
