Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Everyone was dumbfounded as they watched the Dosu Tree escape.
Although everyone knew that the Dosu Tree was smart and could move by itself, in the past, it would not move any more once it was found.
‘The Dosu Fruit on the Dosu Tree was supposed to have been provided for the disciples of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance the begin with. The Dosu Tree had fought back because it was meant to be a test.
“It actually ran!” Su Mo appeared speechless, and then he quickly sprinted into action, chasing after the Tree.
“Stop!”
“Quick, catch the Dosu Tree!”
“Don’t let it get away!”
‘The disciples of the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance would not give up either, as they quickly gave chase as well.
Su Mo was incredibly fast. He was flying at a speed much faster than the roots of the Dosu Tree could run. He caught up with the Dosu Tree almost instantly.
He exerted his powerful devouring power again, shrouding the Dosu Tree.
This time, Su Mo no longer simply relied on his devouring power. Instead, he went ahead and released his Devouring Primordial Spirit.
The tremendous Devouring Primordial Spirit permeated purple light like a palace-sized vortex.
In addition, the Devouring Primordial Spirit continued to swell to a size of several thousands of meters in diameter.
Swoos.h.!.+
Right away, the Devouring Primordial Spirit flew out of Su Mo’s body and headed straight towards the Dosu Tree.
Now, Su Mo was prepared to devour it by force.
It was risky, but he had to give it a go.
Although the Dosu Tree had many tricks and mysteries, running away only meant that it had realized it was no match for Su Mo.
Therefore, Su Mo decided to unleash his Devouring Primordial Spirit by force and devour the Dosu Tree.
There were no surprises this time, as the Dosu Tree stopped resisting and allowed itself to be shrouded in and taken by the vast devouring vortex.
“Success!”
Su Mo was overjoyed. He thought the Dosu Tree would put up a tough fight, but everything had gone well.
Whoos.h.!.+
After withdrawing the Devouring Primordial Spirit, Su Mo dared not stay. He shot up towards the air and flew out to the sky.
“What?”
“He actually devoured the Dosu Tree!”
“Stop him, don’t let him get away!”
“Everyone, get him!”
Exclamations abound. When everyone saw Su Mo devour the Dosu Tree and leave right after, their faces paled.
It would be really bad if the Dosu Tree was taken away.
Whoos.h.!.+
Instantly, many of them rushed towards the sky to pursue Su Mo.
Including Ge Li who had been hiding in the dense fog all this time. He also shot up into the air.
Now was the time to act.
‘Wu Shan was leaving with the Dosu Tree, which was a heinous crime indeed. This meant that Ge Li could take Su Mo’s life publicly and no one would object. Moreover, he would not have to reveal Reverend Tian Jue, the mastermind behind this.
“Junior Xuan Qing, Wu Shan’s committed a serious crime!”
Quan Ruhai did not immediately chase after Su Mo, instead he quickly came to Ling Chang’s side.
“Idon’t think so…” Ling Chang furrowed her brow. Now that Su Mo was being pursued by so many people, it would not be easy to shake them off.
Then she flew to the sky too, following them.
“What do you mean ‘you don’t think so’? The Dosu Fruit belongs to all the Branches. Wu Shan stole it, and that’s a serious crime!” Quan Ruhai stuck by Ling Chang and shouted.
He was not worried about Su Mo’s safety. Rather, he refused to see Su Mo reaping the Dosu Tree and all its Fruits.
“Let’s see what happens!” Ling Chang said. She did not quite understand why Su Mo wanted to risk taking the Tree with him. In fact, obtaining all three thousand Dosu Fruits should have sufficed.
Whoos.h.!.+
Su Mo’ was really fast. Very soon he pa.s.sed through the Dosu Star’s array and entered the starry sky.
Then he flew in the direction of Palmy Star.
“You can’t escape!”
“Leave the Dosu Tree and Fruits!”
“Cease and desist!”
The sounds of shouting behind him was overwhelming. Most of them could not catch up with Su Mo. They were not as fast as him.
However, a small number of people were quicker, even more so than Su Mo.
Whoos.h.!.+
A young, thin man in black with a strong aura and extreme speed managed to catch up with Su Mo first. He directly flew over Su Mo and stopped in front of him, blocking his way.
Swoosh~
Immediately after, ten more or so arrived. They surrounded him and very soon there was no way out.
A small number of disciples of the Supreme Being Realm who were waiting outside the Dosu Star array also approached them. They were not exactly sure what had happened, but they came to watch.
“This is troublesome!”
$u Mo floated in mid-air, surveying all those around him. More and more people caught up, about a hundred thousand had gathered. He was completely surrounded.
At that moment, the Dosu Tree was in his Devouring Primordial Spirit. Other than the one Dosu Fruit for Ling Chang, the remaining two thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine had all fallen from the Tree, due to the power of the Devouring Primordial Spirit.
‘The Dosu Tree neither struggled nor showed any abnormalities as it stood calmly within the devouring vortex.
The crowd of a hundred thousand surrounded Su Mo among the stars. Ge Li, Quan Ruhai, and Ling Chang stood by the periphery.
No one had expected something major like this to happen as they scrambled for the Dosu Fruit, but they could not let Su Mo go under any circ.u.mstances.
“Hey, leave the Dosu Tree and Dosu Fruits here and we’ll let you go.”
‘The man in black who had first caught up to Su Mo shouted at him coldly. He did not dare to make the first move, otherwise the others would follow suit, and by the time they were done with Su Mo, the Dosu Fruit would be squashed too.
“Leave the Dosu Tree and Dosu Fruits here? For whom? You?” Su Mo chuckled coldly. He had no fear. Though he had nowhere to run at the moment, no one could kill him.
Unless all of them joined hands to do so, but that was not possible. This was not a matter of life and death. Moreover, everyones goal was the Dosu Fruits. If they killed him, the Fruits would be gone too.
“Leave the Dosu Tree on Dosu Star. As for the Dosu Fruits, we will split them evenly,” the man in black said.
“split?”
Su Mo grinned. “Are you joking? There’s three thousand of those and many more people here. How could we split them evenly?”
“Thi:
The young man in black was instantly rendered speechless.
“Leave them here. How we split them is none of your concern!” Another said.
“Wu Shan, you can’t take Dosu Tree and all the Dosu Fruits with you. Submit to fate! “A man who recognized Sumo exclaimed.
“Wu Shan, leave the Dosu Tree on Dosu Star. As for the Dosu Fruits, we’ll decide based on our skills. If you are strong enough, you can get one or two,” said a young man in white. He was Feng Yifei from the Spiritual -Leaf Star, one of the attendees at Priest Tian Hua’s birthday banquet.
“Based on skills?”
Su Mo paused when he heard that, then he grinned, “In that case, fine. Whoever can defeat me, I shall give them all the Dosu Fruits. ”
Er…
The people exchanged glances when they heard him. Did Wu Shan mean to fight all of them by himself? Was he out of his mind?
Leaving aside several disciples at the Supreme Being Realm, there were at least thirty to forty thousand of those at Ninth Grade, High Rank. For one man to battle it out with all of them would be complete nonsense.
“How’s that?” Su Mo looked around him and asked. “Whoever can defeat me, I shall surrender the Dosu Fruits to them. Whoever can’t should stay as far away as possible and not get involved in this matter.”
His voice vibrated in all directions, leaving many of them speechless.
“Wu Shan, quit fooling around. There’s so many of us here, more than enough to defeat you, You simply can’t compare!” Someone spoke.
‘Wu Shan was simply spewing nonsense. With so many strong fighters here, there would be many people who could defeat him hands down. Who should go first? They simply could not decide.
Moreover, whoever was the first to defeat him and get all the Dosu Fruits would become the next target. They would be in the same boat as Su Mo.
Everyone braced themselves, none willing to make the first move. There were too few Dosu Fruits. The first one to take them could not get away with them anyway.
“Fine, whoever can defeat me, I’ll surrender one Dosu Fruit to them. You’re free to choose whichever one you want,” Su Mo proposed and added some more, “As for the Dosu Tree, it belongs to the Alliance. You don’t have to worry. The elders of all the branches will decide what to do.”
‘The crowd remained silent, apparently having a variety of concerns.
“Do you agree?” Su Mo asked again.
“Lagree!” came a gentle, feminine voice. It belonged to Ling Chang. She was trying to take the heat off Su Mo. Once Su Mo got people to follow his wishes, all would fall into place much more easily.
“M-Me too!” Quan Ruhai seconded Ling Chang.
“Lagree!” Qiu Yuanshan yelled out from the far end of the crowd. His training was too low. He knew he would not be able to get a Dosu Fruit.
So, he agreed to Su Mo’s suggestion. On the one hand, he could help take the heat off the man. On the other, he could observe what Su Mo was really capable of.
