Chapter 590 Divine Frui
w.a.n.g Mingyuan held the fruit in his right hand and rubbed his thumb on it a few times. Wherever he rubbed, divine light would flow from the fruit.
In the next second, w.a.n.g Mingyuan flipped his palm and the fruit fell onto the gra.s.s before rolling to the side.
w.a.n.g Mingyuan remained unmoved. He continued sitting under the tree with his eyes closed as though he was in meditation.
And at the spot where the fruit fell, a green worm crawled over the gra.s.s and slowly crawled onto the fruit before beginning to eat it.
The worm was very small and looked no different from a caterpillar. Its actions were very clumsy as it crawled onto the fruit with great difficulty and slowly ate it.
The fruit was only the size of a palm, and the worm was even smaller. It was inconspicuous lying on top, but very quickly, the green worm that had only eaten a tiny bit of the fruit started to swell up like a balloon.
When its body grew to the point where it could swallow the fruit, it swallowed it in one mouthful before its body swelled up crazily.
The caterpillar turned into a terrifying behemoth in the blink of an eye. Its body became dozens of meters long.
And this change didn"t stop. The worm that had turned into a giant worm emitted a terrifying divine glow. The divine glow burned like flames which enveloped the giant worm"s body and constantly emitted light.
When the glow reached its limit, the light that it emitted almost made one unable to open their eyes. When the light gradually converged, everyone was surprised to discover that the giant worm had already transformed into a beautiful b.u.t.terfly.
What was even more shocking was that in the middle of the b.u.t.terfly wings, there was something akin to a human female"s body. It was wearing green, gla.s.s-like armor and had a pair of antennae on its head. Its entire body emitted an unparalleled brilliance, like a descending G.o.ddess of light that had b.u.t.terfly wings.
All the humans were dumbfounded. They watched, stunned, as the worm turned into such a terrifying creature. The gaze they used to look at the fruits on the tree turned fervent.
Many people were considering how such a weak worm could become so terrifying and powerful after consuming the fruit. What if they were the ones eating the fruit?
The worm that had turned into the b.u.t.terfly girl stared greedily at the divine tree"s fruits. Her b.u.t.terfly wings flapped and the patterns on the wings began to spread out.
It was brighter closer to the center. When the circular pattern lit up, it was like two suns embedded on her b.u.t.terfly wings.
Boom!
Two terrifying beams shot out from the center of the b.u.t.terfly wings, piercing through the void and striking at the divine tree. Such terrifying might made it feel as if it could even penetrate mountains, much less a tree.
However, the two terrifying beams failed to touch the divine tree. w.a.n.g Mingyuan, who was sitting cross-legged under the tree with his eyes closed, didn"t move. His body emitted a mysterious glow that s.h.i.+elded the tree from the b.u.t.terfly girl"s two beams.
The terrifying power of the beam couldn"t even penetrate the glow emitted by w.a.n.g Mingyuan. The b.u.t.terfly girl"s wings s.h.i.+mmered as she gritted her teeth and continued shooting beams, but it was all in vain.
w.a.n.g Mingyuan extended his palm as though he was casually extending his finger. However, the light on the b.u.t.terfly girl"s wings instantly vanished as her body involuntarily flew towards w.a.n.g Mingyuan.
The closer she got to w.a.n.g Mingyuan, the smaller her body became. In a blink of an eye, she landed in his palm like an ordinary b.u.t.terfly. No matter how she flapped her wings and struggled, she was unable to fly out of his palm.
A strange light rose from w.a.n.g Mingyuan"s palm. The light flowed faster and faster, like streams of light circling the b.u.t.terfly girl. Finally, it completely enveloped the b.u.t.terfly girl"s body in the spinning light. By the time the light dissipated, w.a.n.g Mingyuan"s palm was empty.
Boom!
The scene on the cube changed. The images of w.a.n.g Mingyuan and the divine tree vanished, turning back into the cube itself. The b.u.t.terfly girl stood on the cube, and beside her appeared her name: "Radiant b.u.t.terfly Queen."
Perhaps it was because the ranking had already been filled with 100 names, the name of the Radiant b.u.t.terfly Queen did not appear on the rankings.
However, everyone soon discovered that the name of the Dark Lord, who was ranked ninth, lit up. Not long after, the Dark Lord"s figure appeared on the cube, confronting the Radiant b.u.t.terfly Queen.
When the Radiant b.u.t.terfly Queen saw the Dark Lord, the light on her wings lit up again without any hesitation. Circles of light lit up before condensing at the center of the circle. Two beams shot out like lasers, so fast that no one could dodge.
The Dark Lord was a black-armored skeleton with black flames burning over its body. The sword representing darkness broke out of its sheath, and the sky behind it turned dark due to the unsheathed Sword of Darkness. As the Sword of Darkness slashed at the Radiant b.u.t.terfly Queen, the darkness devoured the light ahead.
Boom!
Two beams of light shot into the darkness. The Sword of Darkness collided with the power of light. Amidst the clash, the Dark Lord let out a tragic cry. His body and the Sword of Darkness were quickly purified by the power of light, disappearing completely a moment later.
The battle scene disappeared. On the cube screens all over the world, a ranking appeared. The name of the Dark Lord, who was previously ranked ninth, vanished. The name of the Radiant b.u.t.terfly Queen appeared at the ninth place, replacing him.
The people watching the battle were alarmed. Previously, when they saw w.a.n.g Mingyuan suppress the Radiant b.u.t.terfly Queen with a flip of his hand, they thought nothing of her.
However, to their surprise, she could easily defeat the Dark Lord, who was ranked ninth. Although one could tell that she had an attribute advantage over the Dark Lord, it still meant that Radiant b.u.t.terfly Queen was ranked in the top ten.
The scene on the cube changed and w.a.n.g Mingyuan appeared on the screen again. He continued sitting cross-legged under the divine tree with his eyes closed.
When they saw him again, many people"s expressions changed. The divine tree and fruits behind him became the focus of human attention.
It was just a worm. After eating one fruit, it had become a powerful existence like the Radiant b.u.t.terfly Queen, and there were many fruits on the tree.
"The day of ripening of the next fruit will be three months from now. When that happens, the owner of the Companion Beast that ranks first will have the right to pluck a fruit."
w.a.n.g Mingyuan"s voice traveled through the cube to every corner of the world. It also generated many complicated thoughts and ideas in the minds of all humans.
After this sentence, the cube"s screen dimmed, turning pitch black.
However, their enthusiasm wasn"t extinguished because of the screen shutdown. It became even more fervent. The media constantly released the video they had recorded. In the middle of the night, many people were discussing the matter of the divine tree and fruits, as well as who had the right to pluck the ripened divine fruit in three months" time.
