Huangquan Island is the heart of this place.
At this moment, on the shore of Huangquan Island, two floating bridges appeared almost simultaneously, extending from a small island in the distance to this place.
Two figures raced across the floating bridge toward Huangquan Island.
These two figures were Ancestral Dragon and the Holy Ancestor of the alien race.
The two of them arrived at Huangquan Island almost at the same time, and were the first people to arrive there.
When the two arrived at Huangquan Island, they spotted each other, and their eyes sparked intense emotions.
"Zu Long, you're pretty fast!"
The alien patriarch sneered.
"You're not slow either!"
Zu Longdao said that both of them exuded a chilling killing intent.
Ultimately, however, both sides had reservations and did not take action.
"That is..."
At that moment, the two of them simultaneously noticed a towering tree not far from them.
This enormous tree, with a diameter of at least several hundred meters, towers into the clouds. The entire tree, not only its trunk but also its leaves, is bathed in a rosy glow.
However, the most eye-catching thing is the fruit on the tree.
There were eighteen fruits in total, each only the size of a fist, but they immediately attracted the attention of the Ancestral Dragon and the alien Holy Ancestor.
"The fruit of life, it is the fruit of life!"
The alien patriarch whispered, his eyes blazing with intense heat.
He had finally found the Tree of Life.
His purpose in entering the underworld was none other than to obtain the fruit of life.
With the Fruit of Life, his injuries will heal. In fact, with enough Fruits of Life, even the Killing Heart Saint Ancestor's injuries can be healed. At that time, it will be easy to flatten the Heavenly Realm.
Similarly, a blazing light appeared in the eyes of the Ancestral Dragon.
Swish! Swish!
Almost simultaneously,
The two moved, lunging towards the fruit of life.
The two of them simultaneously reached out their hands and grabbed at the fruit of life.
But at that moment, the entire Tree of Life began to glow, and then two roots emerged from the ground, reaching towards the Ancestral Dragon and the alien Holy Ancestor.
Bang! Bang!
The power of that root was incredibly strong; the giant hands that the Ancestral Dragon and the alien Saint Ancestor reached out were directly shattered, and the two figures were forced to retreat violently.
Both of their expressions changed, becoming somewhat solemn.
Then, in the next moment, the two moved again, unleashing their full power and displaying their strength to the extreme as they pounced on the Tree of Life.
Splash!
This time, the ground surged, and more than a dozen roots suddenly appeared, whipping towards the two like a storm.
Bang! Bang!
The two collided with the roots repeatedly, their bodies shuddered violently, and they were thrown far away, spitting out blood at the same time.
Both of them were injured!
They were two Martial God Realm beings, yet they were injured by the roots of the Life Fruit Tree. If the people of the Heavenly Realm and the Evil God Realm saw this, they would probably be dumbfounded.
Both of them had somewhat gloomy eyes.
The Ancestral Dragon was alright, but the alien Saint Ancestor looked extremely grim. His desire for the Fruit of Life was far stronger than that of the Ancestral Dragon.
Damn it!
The alien patriarch roared, "Having gone through so much hardship to get here, are we not going to be able to obtain the Fruit of Life?"
Just then, ripples appeared in the space above the Tree of Life, and then a figure appeared out of thin air.
This is a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe, who looks very refined. He must have been a handsome and elegant young man in his youth.
The alien ancestor and the ancestral dragon looked at this person with wary expressions in their eyes.
Because they simply couldn't see through this person's cultivation level.
"This time, only the two of you martial gods have entered!"
The refined middle-aged man glanced at the Ancestral Dragon and the alien Holy Ancestor, and murmured something, seemingly puzzled.
"Now, there are only the two of us who are considered Martial Gods in the outside world!"
The Way of the Holy Ancestor of the Foreign Race.
"Only two Martial Gods remain. Strange, what exactly happened outside? And where is this place?"
The refined middle-aged man muttered a few words, then looked at the Ancestral Dragon and the alien patriarch, and said, "You want the Fruit of Life, don't you? The Fruit of Life only ripens once every endless years, and it's not ripe yet!"
"Not ripe yet?"
Both the Ancestral Dragon and the alien Holy Ancestor were taken aback.
"That's right, it's not ripe yet, so if you try to pick it, the Tree of Life will automatically attack. But once it's ripe, as long as you don't damage the Tree of Life, it won't retaliate!"
A refined middle-aged man.
"How much longer will it take for the Fruit of Life to ripen?"
The Holy Ancestor of the Foreign Race asked.
"It's almost here. This time, the fruit of life will be ripe soon. As for the exact time, I can't say for sure. It could be a few years or a few hundred years. You just need to wait!"
The refined middle-aged man smiled slightly, then looked into the distance and murmured, "Will that little fellow be able to complete the test?"
"Hopefully, after countless ages, someone has finally come to control the path of domination. At least there is some hope now!"
After saying that, he turned and strode out, disappearing from the spot.
The Ancestral Dragon and the alien Saint Ancestor exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with murderous intent.
A few hundred years at most is nothing to them; they can just wait.
When the fruit of life ripens, the two of them will surely engage in a fierce battle, vying for it.
In particular, Zu Long really wanted to take action now and kill the alien patriarch.
Because if the alien ancestor obtains more of the life fruits, then the Heavenly Realm will be in danger.
Ultimately, however, neither of them was confident and refrained from making a move, instead sitting aside and waiting.
Time flew by, and several years later, a third person finally arrived at Yellow Springs Island—the Heavenly Thunder Emperor from the Celestial Realm.
A few months later, an invincible expert from the Evil God Clan also arrived.
As a result, more and more people came to Huangquan Island.
Ten years later, hundreds of people from each side came to Huangquan Island.
The tests they each passed were different. It's not that those with lower cultivation levels necessarily failed the tests, so there were varying levels of cultivation among the people on both sides.
Upon arriving here, they were naturally warned by the Ancestral Dragon and the Holy Ancestor of the alien race, and dared not approach the Fruit of Life.
Anyone below the level of a Martial God who gets struck by the roots of the Tree of Life will truly face certain death.
Everyone waited quietly.
Suddenly, a rich fragrance wafted from the fruit tree of life.
This fragrance is so pleasant that it makes you feel comfortable all over, and it opens up all the pores on your body. Some people with minor injuries are recovering quickly.
The fruit of life has ripened!
Everyone was shocked!
Swish! Swish!
The Ancestral Dragon and the alien Holy Ancestor reacted the fastest and moved the fastest, rushing directly towards the Tree of Life.
This time, the Tree of Life did not attack them when they approached it.
The fruit of life has indeed ripened!
"Zu Long, die!"
The alien patriarch suddenly roared, turned around, and charged towards the ancestral dragon.
"You're the one who'll die!"
With the same thought in mind, Zu Long also charged towards the alien patriarch.
The two martial god-level experts clashed instantly.
