I Can Strengthen Infinitely

Chapter 500: Chapter 299: The True Spirit of Divine Fiend Awakens

The surroundings of the passage were filled with spiritual energy, leading straight into the depths of the Divine Killing Treasure Acupoint as Qin Yuesheng and the others ventured deeper.

This spiritual energy must not be touched lightly; otherwise, even Qin Yuesheng might be affected, leading either to death or mutation into an unknown monster.

The entire valley was shrouded within the Divine Killing Treasure Acupoint. Soon, as they reached the end of the passage, the spiritual energy around them instantly vanished, turning into an ordinary area.

"We’ve reached the inside of the Divine Killing Treasure Acupoint." Qin Yuesheng said as he looked around.

Having recently been here, Qin Yuesheng knew the situation inside the valley and understood that the center of the Divine Killing Treasure Acupoint should be at that stone platform.

Ah Hu growled lowly. As a Divine Soldier, it sensed a very dangerous aura.

Upon reaching the previous location of the stone platform and observing from afar, they saw that after Qin Yuesheng disassembled the platform, a black, luminescent ancient tree had grown at that spot.

The entire ancient tree was coiled like a serpent, and just looking at it, one could feel its powerful force.

This ancient tree had seven branches, all covered in black leaves.

Beneath the ancient tree, Jin Zihua and Xuanyang Monarch stood side by side on either side of the tree.

It seemed they were in a standoff, for reasons unknown why they hadn’t started fighting.

Qin Yuesheng chose not to approach rashly, instead observing from a distance.

Under the ancient tree, five feet above the ground, there was a tree hole. Inside, a humanoid form with no fingers or hair was curled up like a fetus, its deep blue body crystalline, with bubbles visible inside.

"This is the true spirit of spiritual energy!" Xuanyang Monarch exclaimed with joy, his arm trembling slightly.

Jin Zihua said calmly, "I’m afraid you won’t be able to get your hands on it."

The true spirit of spiritual energy was still in the process of incubation, and awakening it prematurely at this moment would only backfire.

Xuanyang Monarch knew if a battle broke out here, the aftermath might affect the true spirit and awaken it, so after seeing Jin Zihua, he had to endure.

Both knew the outcome of a fight would be mutually detrimental, so they tacitly confirmed a truce with each other.

"The Righteous Alliance is indeed formidable. Even though I was so cautious, you still managed to catch up." Xuanyang Monarch said.

Jin Zihua chuckled, "Such a treasure as the true spirit of spiritual energy cannot be missed, it’s you who’s overthinking."

"Huh!" Suddenly, the true spirit in the tree hole let out a soft moan, frightening Xuanyang Monarch and Jin Zihua into silence, fearing they’d disturb its incubation.

Qin Yuesheng found the scene odd. What was going on here, enemies turning into friends?

The true spirit of spiritual energy incubates in three stages: embryo, juvenile, and adulthood.

The embryonic stage is when the true spirit is first born, and over time, it continues to mature, finally growing to the size of a normal human, indicating its final maturity.

The true spirit of spiritual energy curled inside the tree hole was already in the final stage, which meant it could fully mature at any moment.

By then, it would be the time for everyone to fight with all their might.

Though Jin Zihua appeared calm on the surface, he was actually uneasy, never expecting that after all these years, the true spirit of spiritual energy hadn’t fully matured, otherwise, he could have seized it before Xuanyang Monarch when he rushed in.

Now, not only was Xuanyang Monarch here, but he also had the Flame Ghost Venerable as a capable ally, making Jin Zihua apprehensive.

Qin Yuesheng used the Biluo Eye, immediately seeing the true spirit of spiritual energy clearly.

The creature’s eyelids were large, and though its eyes were closed, one could still sense them trembling, as if on the verge of opening.

In Qin Yuesheng’s Yellow Springs Eye, the true spirit of spiritual energy revealed a different scene.

Inside the true spirit, numerous bubbles were rushing towards its brain, making it increasingly bright.

"What is this?" Qin Yuesheng wondered.

Coincidentally, the Yellow Springs Eye abruptly shone with a yellow light, like a needle pricking a water-filled balloon, and the true spirit suddenly opened its eyes.

In its deep blue pupils, a hint of murderous intent flickered.

Swoosh!

The moment the true spirit opened its eyes, everyone present trembled involuntarily, the event too sudden, catching them all off guard.

Simultaneously, the opening of the true spirit’s eyes signaled the official start of the battle for possession of the treasure.

Xuanyang Monarch swiftly moved, raising a strange claw and striking towards Jin Zihua, a flurry of dragon shadows and a gust of wind following.

Jin Zihua was no ordinary person, immediately using his magical weapon to defend, while the Flame Ghost Venerable, owing a debt, actively joined in, attacking Jin Zihua alongside Xuanyang Monarch.

This left no one available to attend to the awakened true spirit of spiritual energy.

In their minds, this creature had no chance to struggle. Whoever claimed the final victory would win possession of the true spirit.
