C2 Destiny Illusion God Fruit

At Heaven Sect, there is a mountain peak reserved for true disciples, known as Tian Feng, which is also Yuwen Tian's domain.

"If things go as they did in the original story, in half a year, my internal injuries will be exploited by Lin Fann, leading to my defeat," Yuwen Tian mused with a furrowed brow.

He meticulously recollected that his internal injuries were actually orchestrated by another formidable true disciple, Huang Zhengshan, six months prior.

"Damn it, Huang Zhengshan, I haven't even come after you yet, and you dare to ambush me," Yuwen Tian muttered, his face darkening with anger.

"However, the immediate priority is to heal the internal injuries. Only then can I fight at full strength without leaving any vulnerabilities," Yuwen Tian reasoned with a cool head.

As the creator of his own novel, Yuwen Tian was well aware that the Heavenly Fate Illusionary God Pill was essential for healing his wounds.

"The key ingredient, the Heavenly Fate Illusionary Divine Fruit, is incredibly rare, and even the vast Heaven Sect might struggle to locate it. Additionally, the Heavenly Fate Illusionary Divine Pill is a top-tier third-grade pill, and only a few within the entire Heaven Sect are capable of concocting such a pill."

With this realization, Yuwen Tian's frown grew more pronounced.

He knew he had to address his internal injuries without delay; not only was his cultivation progress at stake, but he also couldn't afford to be hindered in battle.

"It seems I must venture out in search of the Heavenly Fate Illusionary Divine Fruit."

In the Psychedelic Forest, Yuwen Tian faintly remembered that the southern region might contain the elusive fruit.

Guided by his hazy recollections, he soared towards the south of the Psychedelic Forest, his presence as a Xiantian Ninth Realm cultivator startling flocks of birds into flight.

"Hmm? Members of the Purple Cloud Sect and the Foursquare Sect are here as well."

Below him, three true disciples from the Purple Cloud Sect and four from the Foursquare Sect stood in a standoff, their attention fixed on a resplendent Destiny Flower nearing bloom nearby.

Undoubtedly, the Flower of Destiny may not be as valuable as the Fruit of Destiny, but it remained a rare and valuable grade three medicinal herb.

"Zi Feng, I suggest you step aside. The Foursquare Sect has its sights set on something that's out of your league," declared the leading true disciple of the Foursquare Sect with supreme arrogance.

Zi Feng was aware that his strength paled in comparison to Fang Cheng's, yet the Flower of Destiny was crucial for him. It had the potential to advance his cultivation of the Purple Cloud Art to its pinnacle. He was resolute in acquiring the Flower of Destiny that day.

"Fang Cheng, let me have the Flower of Destiny. I'm willing to exchange it for something else. It won't be a significant loss to your Foursquare Sect. Consider it a favor to me, alright?" Zi Feng proposed earnestly.

"Haha!" Fang Cheng burst into derisive laughter upon hearing this. "What's the value of your face? You expect me to do you a favor? Do you think you're Yuwen Tian from the Heaven Sect?"

Yuwen Tian, hovering in the sky, chuckled as he touched his nose, amused to hear his name brought up so casually.

"The Heaven's Mandate Flower is indeed a treasure. It can significantly boost the chances of successfully concocting the Heaven's Mandate Illusory Divine Pill," Yuwen Tian mused, intrigued by the prospect.

Crafting a top-tier grade three pill like the Heaven's Will Illusionary Divine Pill was fraught with the risk of failure, making the Heaven's Will Flower an invaluable auxiliary ingredient.

Zi Feng of the Purple Cloud Sect wore a scowl, clearly irked by Fang Cheng's blatant disrespect.

"You're pushing the Purple Cloud Sect into a corner," Zi Feng said darkly, his voice heavy with lethal intent.

"And what if I am? I'm set on claiming the Heavenly Fate Flower today. Let's see just how capable your Purple Cloud Sect really is," Fang Cheng scoffed with scorn.

Zi Feng realized that Fang Cheng was the key. If he could eliminate Fang Cheng swiftly, the Heavenly Fate Flower would surely be his.

With a thunderous bang, Zi Feng unleashed a punch enveloped in an overpowering golden radiance, striking Fang Cheng with such force that the very fabric of space quivered.

Clearly, Zi Feng had not held anything back. He had thrown his punch with full force.

"Hmph!"

Fang Cheng's eyes shimmered like dark stars. With a sweep of his palm, a thunderous explosion echoed through the void, and a dark red axe materialized, cleaving through the air with a force that seemed to split the heavens and earth.

Zi Feng's face paled dramatically. He had sorely underestimated Fang Cheng, whose strength was vastly superior to his own.

"Boom!"

Debris flew in all directions as a sandstorm kicked up, spreading far and wide, blinding anyone who dared to look.

Bang!

A figure, streaked with dark red blood, shot out of the dust like a cannonball, crashing through several sturdy trees before landing with a heavy thud on the ground.

The other two true disciples of the Purple Cloud Sect, witnessing their Eldest Senior Brother's swift defeat, turned ashen-faced with fear. Without a second thought, they bolted, their speed outpacing that of frightened rabbits.

Fang Cheng stepped forward, leaping into the sky before descending with a powerful stomp onto Zi Feng's chest. The crisp sound of breaking ribs echoed clearly.

"Do you still want the Flower of Destiny now?" Fang Cheng's voice was icy and menacing as he let out a laugh filled with extreme arrogance.

"Cough cough..."

Zi Feng lay there, his energy sapped, his body wracked with unbearable pain, unable to speak a word.

"Trash!" Fang Cheng spat disdainfully onto Zi Feng's body.

Just then, a sweet scent wafted through the air—the Flower of Destiny had ripened.

Yuwen Tian, like an arrow, swiftly descended from the sky and in an instant was beside the flower. With a gentle gesture, the mature Flower of Destiny was sealed within a jade box.

Yuwen Tian's movements were incredibly swift. By the time Fang Cheng realized what had happened, the flower was gone.

"You..." Fang Cheng, on the verge of unleashing a furious tirade, caught sight of Yuwen Tian and abruptly choked back his words, his expression turning to one of bitter defeat.

Zi Feng, still prostrate on the ground, noticed Yuwen Tian and couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of relief. He might not have obtained the flower, but neither had Fang Cheng.

"What, the Flower of Destiny now belongs to me, and you have a problem with that?" Yuwen Tian asked coolly.

"Uh, no, no problem at all." Fang Cheng of the Foursquare Sect was well aware of Yuwen Tian's might and dared not utter another word.

"No objections? Then get lost, trash!" Yuwen Tian scoffed with contempt, clearly not considering the Foursquare Sect's true disciple worthy of his attention.

Seething with anger yet unable to speak out, Fang Cheng could only force a smile and say, "Fine, fine, I'm leaving."

In an instant, Fang Cheng vanished along with the other three true disciples of the Foursquare Sect.

"The Purple Cloud Sect's bunch are cowards too, pathetic!" Yuwen Tian didn't even glance at the severely injured Zi Feng; instead, he transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

Above the clouds, Yuwen Tian was quite pleased with himself. "With this Flower of Destiny, all I need is to find the Heavenly Fate Illusionary Divine Fruit, and then the Heavenly Fate Illusionary Divine Pill will be within my grasp."

Once he could cure the dark wounds within him, Lin Fann, the protagonist, and even the soul entity within the ring would pose no issue. Even the strongest protagonist's aura would have to bow before him, the antagonist.

Quickly, Yuwen Tian followed the directions in his memory to the southern part of the Psychedelic Forest, where the Heavenly Fate Illusionary Divine Fruit was said to grow.

A thick fog enveloped the area, with golden sunlight filtering through, casting a kaleidoscope of colors that gave the place an ethereal quality.

"Hmm? Something's off. Why does this fog appear so abruptly, and why does the scenery look so unnatural?"

Yuwen Tian, the early villain of his novel, was not to be underestimated. His sharp intellect, keen intuition, and discernment were unparalleled.

"It's an illusion!"

Yuwen Tian had an epiphany. He recalled that the Heavenly Fate Illusionary Divine Fruit was guarded by a Divine Beast, and the illusion before him must be the work of that very creature.

"Damn, I almost got tricked. Good thing I'm clever."

Yuwen Tian's eyes blazed like lightning, his body radiating golden light that soared to the heavens. The surrounding space was engulfed in a resplendent, domineering yellow glow as the formidable power of the Xiantian Ninth Realm swept across a radius of several miles.

Boom!

The mist was instantly scattered by a terrifying force, unveiling an illusionary Divine Beast resembling a Qilin. Behind it grew a Heaven's Will Illusionary Divine Fruit on the cusp of maturity.

Yuwen Tian's gaze skipped over the Divine Beast, fixating on the purple Heaven's Mandate Mirage Divine Fruit adorned with enigmatic patterns. His heart involuntarily quickened its pace.

"It looks like this fruit is nearly ripe; no wonder the illusionary Divine Beast is guarding it so fiercely," Yuwen Tian remarked, barely giving the Divine Beast a second thought.

The strength of the Illusion Divine Beast was barely at the Xiantian level, with unimpressive combat abilities. If its illusions proved ineffective against an opponent, it would essentially be rendered powerless.

"Roar..."

The Illusion Divine Beast could sense the human's covetous gaze on the Heaven's Mandate Illusion Divine Fruit behind it and let out a roar, hoping to intimidate Yuwen Tian.

"What are you howling about? I am Yuwen Tian! You think I won't barbecue you right here and now?!" Yuwen Tian bellowed, his eyes shooting out a fearsome electric glare that struck the Illusion Divine Beast.

The beast shuddered involuntarily, letting out a pitiful whimper and cowering without daring to make another offensive move.

"Heh, that's more like it. Before me, you should know your place," Yuwen Tian scoffed, turning his attention back to the Heaven's Mandate Illusion Divine Fruit and patiently awaiting its ripening.

Half a day passed, and a rich scent wafted through the air, filling the area within a hundred meters. Yuwen Tian inhaled deeply, feeling invigorated.

"Tsk tsk, truly a top-tier third-grade herb," he mused, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Just then, the Illusion Divine Beast beside him drooled in anticipation, leaping towards the fruit, eager to take a bite.

"Seeking death!"

Yuwen Tian reacted swiftly, his hand sweeping through the air as a brilliant golden light erupted in the void. A powerful binding force traveled hundreds of meters, ensnaring the Illusion Divine Beast in its grasp.

With a resounding crash, the Illusion Divine Beast was flattened against the ground by an immense force descending from above. It was embedded in the earth, its form a mangled mess, its life force extinguished.

"How dare you be so insolent in my presence! You wretched beast, this is your fate!" Yuwen Tian declared with a dismissive gesture. With a mere flick of his wrist, the mature Heaven's Mandate Illusion Divine Fruit was effortlessly collected by him.
