Fantasy: I! Adding Friends And Become Stronger!

Seeing this, Han Yuanzhen frowned deeply.

This power… seemed a bit beyond his imagination!

Overwhelmingly strong!

But considering it was a combined attack of two people, it was understandable!

"Heavenly Origin Overlord Blade: Boundless Frost and Bright Snow!" Han Yuanzhen gripped his blade with both hands!

A surge of perfect blade intent erupted.

All his strength poured into the blade.

In an instant, snow filled the world, countless ice crystals spread, and the blade light surged like a chilling tide, engulfing everything!

Boom!

The two forces collided!

The palm print shattered, and the blade light dispersed.

"Haha, truly worthy of the Vajra Tianmen Sect…" Han Yuanzhen, exhilarated, was about to say more.

The Western Desert Twin Monks attacked again, cutting him off mid-sentence, forcing him to swallow his words.

At this moment, the Wish Spirit Fruit still shimmered atop the tree.

No one dared to pick it.

The weaker cultivators had already been blown away by the residual energy of the battle, regaining clarity and fleeing frantically.

As for the stronger ones, unless they were supremely confident, none dared to move now.

Anyone who acted would immediately become the target of all.

So, many stayed not far away, breaking into smaller battles among themselves.

If this continued, only the final victor would claim the prize.

The stalemate held no meaning otherwise.

Dongmen Xiangzhong regained his clarity, frowning.

The aftereffects of the secret technique he used earlier hadn't faded yet, causing him to linger longer under the influence of the artifact.

He had initially planned to avoid participation, only intervening when the timing seemed right.

Effectively, he had abandoned competing for this Wish Spirit Fruit.

After all, his strength hadn't fully recovered, and there was still the monstrous talent Meng Changqing to contend with. The odds seemed slim.

Thinking this, Dongmen Xiangzhong prepared to leave, but a slender figure appeared before him.

Raven-black hair like ink, an exquisite face.

It was none other than Yue Qingchan.

"Amitabha. Benefactor, please show your hand." Yue Qingchan's expression was icy.

At this stage, no one could remain a bystander. One must engage.

How could she allow anyone the chance to benefit as a bystander?

"Just a current-generation champion, and you dare challenge me?

"You think you're Meng Changqing?"

Dongmen Xiangzhong's face darkened.

The suppressed frustration in his chest erupted in an instant.

"Bodhi Enlightenment: All Buddhas' Transcendence." Yue Qingchan clasped her hands together, her expression suddenly changing, half icy, half gentle.

Beyond her five-tenths palm intent, another perfect intent surged from within her!

It was none other than ten-tenths fist intent!

"Impossible!" Dongmen Xiangzhong's expression drastically changed.

He could tell this newly emerged intent wasn't hers — it was unfamiliar, and the aura was entirely different!

"Damn it! What kind of freaks are these current-generation champions? Why are they all so monstrous?!" He cursed inwardly.

Fortunately, her palm intent was only at five-tenths, unable to merge intents. Otherwise, he'd have no chance at all.

Roar!

Dongmen Xiangzhong released his Thunder Jiao!

The clash promised to be fierce.

At the top of the Divine Spirit Tree, battles were already raging uncontrollably. Powerful techniques were unleashed one after another.

However, it was clear that everyone was holding back to some extent.

After all, one key figure had yet to make his move. Meng Changqing.

Only when he joined the fray could the battle truly escalate. Otherwise, who would want to exhaust themselves and pave the way for someone else?

—

On the demonic faction's side…

"It's starting."

Meng Changqing ascended toward the Divine Spirit Tree, his aura steadily rising.

Everyone had their own goals and plans. Naturally, he had his.

With the rare convergence of the strongest talents from the Four Regions, he intended to use their defeats to forge his own invincible will!

With this thought, an overwhelming aura of invincibility surged from him.

This was the culmination of his previous battles. But it was still far from enough!

Glancing at the ongoing clashes, Meng Changqing shook his head slightly.

One-on-one? That was far too slow.

And his strength wouldn't permit him to stay low-profile.

"Then I shall make myself the target of all!" Meng Changqing's lips curved into a faint smile.

He fixed his gaze on the Wish Spirit Fruit.

In the next instant, his figure flashed, transforming into a streak of sword light, shooting toward the Wish Spirit Fruit.

His movement naturally drew everyone's attention.

"Is he insane? Is Meng Changqing actually going for the Wish Spirit Fruit now?!" someone exclaimed.

At this juncture, whoever dared to take the fruit would immediately face collective attack.

To be targeted by so many champions and supreme talents, the outcome would surely be tragic.

"Meng Changqing…" Yu Hongxue's face filled with worry.

She couldn't fathom why he would choose this course of action.

"Yes, that's it! Go, Uncle Master! Show them your might!

"Smash them all to pieces!"

Yet beside her, an excited voice rang out.

A small figure, flanked by two towering brutes, was wildly cheering,

As if they themselves were on the battlefield.

Yu Hongxue was stunned.

So confident?!

That was a battlefield of supreme talents!

Each combatant no weaker than Meng Changqing himself.

Even so, she said nothing further.

Perhaps the Meng Changqing she knew had yet to reveal his true strength.

Recently, rumors abounded that Meng Changqing actually possessed two perfected intents.

Given his comprehension ability, it was indeed highly possible.

Crack—

Meng Changqing plucked the Wish Spirit Fruit.

The crisp sound echoed across the heavens.

It caused all battles to halt, as countless gazes turned toward him. Their emotions varied.

Confusion, shock, scrutiny, displeasure, and more.

Meng Changqing ignored these looks, calmly placing the Wish Spirit Fruit into a jade box.

This was, after all, a supreme artifact.

His future breakthrough to the Marquis Realm would depend on it.

After securing the jade box in his storage ring, he finally turned to face the crowd.

Even as countless eyes bore down on him, he remained composed and a faint smile gracing his lips.

"Since none of you were taking it, I went ahead and picked it up. You all know, once something ripens, it must be harvested quickly. Otherwise, if it overripens, the medicinal potency will diminish."
