Chapter 106: Fisherman’s Benefit

Chapter 106: The Fisherman Profits

At this moment, Lin Fan, in his Incarnation as Tang Sanzang, slowly approached the Golden Body Fruit.

Meanwhile, the Blond-haired young man was battling the Earth Dragon, drawing the attention of nearby Vicious Beasts, which created an opportunity for him.

However, it must be said that the Blond-haired young man was very powerful; even when facing several natives, he could move freely among them and kill several huge Earth Dragons.

“Roar…”

However, this completely enraged the leader of this place. A giant Earthworm appeared, over thirty feet long, rolling its body through the desert and shaking the ground.

This was an Array Formation Realm creature, unaffected by the Secret Realm’s suppression. Its entire body glowed, sweeping across the sky, erupting with swathes of runes, and its Qi was powerful.

Furthermore, one could see that it had already grown horns on its head and was covered in scales, vaguely appearing to be transforming into a Dragon, making it incredibly terrifying.

“Incredible, it’s about to become a Supreme!” Lin Fan, observing from the shadows, exclaimed.

Although the natives within the Small World were not subject to Realm suppression, there was still an upper limit. Once they reached the Array Formation Realm, they would be bound by the Law and could not advance further.

Creatures like this, infinitely close to a Supreme or having taken half a step, appeared extremely formidable, as they had already reached the peak of strength within the Secret Realm, becoming undisputed overlords.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the Blond-haired young man unleashed a secret technique. Endless raging fire surged, reddening half the sky. Golden Divine Lotuses appeared one after another, rooting themselves in the Void Realm, accompanied by the Qi of the Great Dao.

Soon, the Golden Lotus of Raging Fire grew faster and faster, quickly reaching ten feet in height. Each one was incredibly massive, gleaming golden, illuminating all directions, radiating extreme yang and holiness.

“Oh, so strong!” Lin Fan was quite surprised. That person was definitely an outstanding individual among his peers. His true Realm must have surpassed Spiritual Transformation, and his comprehension of the Dao was very deep.

In an instant, he realized who this person was. The roster had a record: the brother of Qing Xian, the female Supreme of the Lotus Clan’s younger generation—Qing Ge.

This was a prodigy who cultivated no other precious arts, only the unique Divine Ability, Golden Lotus of Raging Fire, yet he could look down upon his contemporaries.

In the cactus region, Qing Ge’s precious art unleashed its power, condensing the great momentum of heaven and earth, instantly achieving unity with the Dao, inheriting the will of heaven, and acting on behalf of the heavens to wield Divine Punishment and deliver judgment.

“Boom!”

The next moment, all the Golden Lotuses trembled, and swathes of runes filled the sky, carrying endless firelight, attacking the Earthworm King.

In just an instant, the Earthworm had to temporarily retreat, its runes condensing into a shield to defend against the firelight.

“His Golden Lotus of Raging Fire is amazing. It has something in common with the path I plan to take in the Spiritual Transformation Realm,” Lin Fan praised.

He wanted to break through the limits of Spiritual Transformation. It was difficult for his Physical Body and Primordial Spirit, so he could only make a Breakthrough in the Dao, comprehending that Supreme Law and forging a path.

Evidently, the brother of the Lotus Clan’s female Supreme had a unique insight into this point, having already comprehended the Law only available when igniting the divine fire, wielding Divine Punishment.

“There’s an opportunity to get to know him and discuss the Dao, but for now… Hehehe!”

Lin Fan moved. The Golden Body Fruit was of great use for his Physical Body becoming holy, and he couldn’t let it go.

“Kill!” Qing Ge roared, with a secret treasure enhancing his body, temporarily boosting his attack beyond the Spiritual Transformation level, leading to an intense collision.

At the same time, the Golden Lotuses in the Void Realm merged, forming an even larger Golden Lotus, which, with the power of “Divine Punishment,” enveloped the horned Earthworm King, trapping it within.

In an instant, mist steamed, and the golden lotus released terrifying fluctuations, like a solar divine furnace, intending to refine it.

“Thump!”

However, the duration was not long. The Golden Lotus of Raging Fire suddenly trembled, and the creature inside seemed about to burst out.

After all, there was a Realm difference; it was impossible to truly refine the Earthworm King.

At this moment, Qing Ge, who was greatly depleted and weakened, knew very well that he couldn’t trap this creature for long. He immediately turned to pluck the Golden Body Fruit.

The largest cactus there, though nearly withered, was incredibly sturdy, as if cast from divine metal, truly living up to its name “Golden Body.”

Its tree body was inherently solid and indestructible, a rare Artifact Refining Material. Qing Ge pulled it several times, finally using a divine blade to sever the stem connecting the fruit.

“Hahaha, with this fruit, my sister’s Physical Body will no longer be a weakness!” Qing Ge was excited, his first thought being his sister Qing Xian, for whom he had plucked it.

It must be said that he was a good brother; he saved all good things for his sister and did not envy Qing Xian for her superior talent.

One must know that if his sister hadn't been so dazzling, the King of the Lotus Clan would have been his, and he could have contended with the strongest of his generation.

This was very rare. Within a powerful clan, to maintain kinship, mutual affection, and support, with a lack of infighting, was extremely uncommon.

However, before Qing Ge could rejoice for a few seconds, a shocking change occurred: a large foot stepped down, aiming for his face.

“How dare you!” Qing Ge was furious and startled. He absolutely did not want his head to be stepped on; that was a humiliation. He punched at the incoming person.

“Boom!”

However, Lin Fan descended from the sky, brave and invincible, with astonishing power. The wind whistled, like a great mountain pressing down, covering the sky, making it difficult for him to dodge.

It was too sudden. Even if Qing Ge intended to resist, with runes forming a light screen, it was ultimately useless. The big foot landed, causing him, who had just battled the Earthworm King, to feel powerless.

“Pfft!”

He coughed up a mouthful of blood. The large foot in the sky was almost touching his scalp. His body stumbled, and he was kicked away, feeling a wave of weakness.

Lin Fan, clad in a monk’s robe, appeared solemn and dignified, like a Vajra Bodhisattva. He raised his golden hand, seizing the opportunity to snatch the Golden Body Fruit, and recited a mantra: “Amitābha, thank you, benefactor, for your contribution to the West!”

With that, he transformed into a golden rainbow and quickly fled, leaving only a trail of light.

“Ah… my Golden Body Fruit!”

Qing Ge, realizing what had happened, was filled with hatred and roared to the sky. Being intercepted at the last moment made him furious, almost to the point of spitting blood.

Originally, he had expended great effort, risking danger, using a secret treasure to battle a Vicious Beast.

As a result, the clam and the snipe fought, and the fisherman profited, making him a wedding dress for someone else, a wasted effort.

“Crack!”

Just then, the horned Earthworm King burst out, the golden lotus exploding, and shattered lotus petals falling like a rain of light.

Seeing the precious medicine he guarded stolen, it was enraged beyond measure. Runes flickered all over its body, shaking the region unstable, threatening to overturn it, stirring up a sandstorm, and the wind howled.

“Not good!” Qing Ge, seeing that things were going badly, changed color. Though extremely unwilling, he had no time to chase the bald monk, the “fisherman.” He activated extreme speed and fled far away.

Now, escaping was paramount. This creature clearly regarded him as the fruit thief and would certainly not let him go, and he no longer had the ability to trap the Earthworm King again.

However, Qing Ge looked back in a certain direction, seemingly with some apprehension and worry.

On the other side, Lin Fan, who had run at full speed over two hundred miles away from the cactus region, stopped when he saw no one chasing him and let out a sigh of relief.

“Hehehe, the Golden Body Fruit is mine!” His mouth curved upwards, unable to stop laughing.

At the same time, the fist-sized Golden Body Fruit glowed golden, shimmering brightly, with a intoxicating fragrance that permeated one’s bones. One sniff, and it felt as if one would ascend.

“As expected of something even more precious than a holy medicine, what a treasure!” Lin Fan was delighted, confirming that this item would be of great use to him, allowing his Physical Body to advance further.
