The Great Ruler: Starting with the Thunder Emperor's Treasure Technique, it Shocks the Thousand

Chapter 90 Immortal Fruit

Deeper into the forest, Qin Hao and the others arrived at the Demon Spirit Tree.

The Demon Tree still radiates a holy light, its vibrant life force constantly attracting people.

Although Qin Hao initially swept aside many Spirit Academy teams, new Spirit Academy teams still arrived at this place as time went by.

Seeing the crystal-clear fairy fruits, the students in these teams all showed fervent eyes and rushed towards them.

"Hahaha, the Immortal Spirit Fruit! I've obtained the Immortal Spirit Fruit! A physical body is now within my reach!"

Someone held up a plucked fairy fruit and let out an almost manic laugh.

Almost without hesitation, those who received the Immortal Spirit Fruit immediately swallowed it.

The immense spiritual energy dissipated within everyone's bodies, giving them an indescribable sense of comfort.

However, in less than half a second, this comfort vanished, replaced by extreme heat.

Under this intense heat, everyone's faces began to contort, and black blood seeped from their skin pores. Upon closer inspection, one could see faint black flames burning within this black blood.

"ah!!!"

A painful and piercing scream echoed through the forest. A student who had consumed the "Immortal Spirit Fruit" was engulfed in black flames, which instantly burned into a ball of pure power and flew back to the Demon Spirit Tree.

A brand new Immortal Fruit was born anew on the Demon Spirit Tree.

This situation is not an isolated case. Every student who consumed the "Immortal Spirit Fruit" was engulfed and burned by this black flame, and finally turned into a brand new "Immortal Spirit Fruit".

"How terrifying! This fruit tree is truly eerie."

Su Xuan looked in the direction of the Demon Spirit Tree, somewhat frightened.

Just then, the color of the Immortal Tree suddenly changed.

The vibrant green of the trees began to slowly fade, replaced by a dark, sinister color that gradually spread across them.

In just a few seconds, the once ethereal and otherworldly fairy tree began to surge with demonic energy, emanating a chilling aura.

Those celestial fruits have now transformed into demonic fruits, turning into hideous human faces, with black blood dripping continuously from their surfaces.

Upon seeing this, Qin Hao also took out the jade slip he had obtained from the Desolate Spirit Academy.

As the Demon Tree began to devour students one by one, the jade slip in his hand gradually became warm and hot to the touch.

To unlock this ruin, the Demon Tree needs to consume enough nutrients.

Seeing that the situation was about right, Qin Hao threw the jade slip in his hand towards the direction of the Demon Spirit Tree.

As the jade slip entered the Demon Spirit Tree, the massive tree instantly cracked open, and beams of light shot out from its body, while faint screams echoed through the forest.

Under the beam of light, the surrounding space began to distort, and a huge tree palace gradually appeared in the void, an ancient aura spreading and sweeping across the world.

As the tree palace fully materialized, a buzzing sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and the heavy gate slowly opened.

However, given the precedent of the Demon Spirit Tree, the opened palace gates appeared to everyone more like a gaping maw of abyss ready to devour anyone who dared to cross it.

"Captain, shall we go in?" Su Xuan asked.

"Go in. Since we're already here, why shouldn't we go in?"

After saying that, Qin Hao took the lead and rushed directly into the tree palace.

As a large number of students poured in, the once quiet palace immediately became noisy.

Upon entering the Tree Palace, Qin Hao and the others walked along a dark blue corridor.

There are gleaming wooden doors on both sides of the corridor.

These wooden doors are made of a special bluish-green wood, and their surfaces are covered with many thick vines.

Behind each door lies a palace, and what you can obtain from it depends on luck.

"Bang!"

Qin Hao unleashed a punch, the thunderous power surging out and instantly destroying a wooden door.

As he stepped inside, Qin Hao's nose twitched slightly.

The aroma of medicine, an extremely strong aroma of medicine.

The palace behind this door appears to be a place where medicinal herbs are grown.

On this ground grow numerous spiritual herbs, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance and spiritual energy fluctuations.

Unfortunately, these medicinal herbs are clearly still growing and have not yet matured.

After exploring the main hall, everyone's attention was drawn to a small, lush green tree at the far end of the hall.

This small tree is not tall, only about ten feet high, but it exudes an extremely rich vitality, with several emerald green fruits swaying on its branches.

It looked almost exactly like the previous Demon Fruit Tree in disguise, except that this tree was much smaller.

"Could this be another demon tree?"

Su Xuan and the others looked at the tree with some apprehension, not daring to make any moves.

Clearly, the previous Demon Tree had left them with considerable psychological trauma, so seeing a similar tree now naturally made them very wary.

Qin Hao waved his hand, and spiritual energy swirled out to collect the five immortal fruits that had formed on it.

Suddenly, a violent gust of wind swept in and headed straight for Qin Hao's face.

"Bang!"

A dull thud erupted, and a bluish-green puppet was sent flying and shattered into several pieces by Qin Hao's punch.

The puppet is made of a type of wood and looks similar to the Immortal Spirit Tree. It has always been hidden next to the Immortal Spirit Tree and can be regarded as the guardian of the Immortal Spirit Fruit.

Stepping forward, Qin Hao smashed the puppet's head with a single palm strike, revealing an ancient green leaf.

There were many strange patterns on the surface of the leaves, emitting a special kind of fluctuation.

This leaf-shaped talisman can be considered the core item of this palace, used to control the operation of the palace and the powerful wooden guardian spirit in the main hall.

Although I don't know the specific method of control, it's definitely better to keep this thing in my own hands than to leave it unattended.

After carefully storing the leaf talisman, Qin Hao divided the four Immortal Spirit Fruits he had obtained and gave them to Su Xuan and the other three.

"Take these, they are Immortal Spirit Fruits, one for each of you, which will help you overcome the difficulties of your physical bodies."

Holding the Immortal Spirit Fruit, Su Xuan and the others' eyes also became somewhat fervent.

With the existence of this immortal fruit, it's practically a certainty that the four of them will overcome the physical body's difficulties.

However, the group quickly calmed down and looked at Qin Hao.

"Captain, we didn't contribute anything the whole time, so isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to take this fairy fruit?"

Qin Hao waved his hand casually, "This thing is of no use to me. If you can use this opportunity to break through the physical body barrier, then it will be a good thing for me."

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan and the others said no more and put the Immortal Spirit Fruit into their storage rings.

As Qin Hao said, their improved strength is indeed a good thing for him, at least they won't be such a drag on his progress.
