1379 Consuming God's Fruit
"Three no! Five hundred million spirit stones! This is my final offer! Although I cannot pay you now, I will definitely pay you once we get out!" Gu Lim gritted his teeth and gave Tian Yang his new offer.
Tian Yang did not immediately answer and closed his eyes to ponderor pretend to think about Gu Lim's offer.
Seeing Tian Yang's hesitation, Gu Lim tried to convince him further, "You can purchase countless powerful treasures with that much moneyeven one or two Mythic-grade treasures with ease."
"However, if you refuse just know that you'll become my Immortal Gu Clan's enemy."
Tian Yang opened his eyes a moment later and wore a gentle smile on his face.
"I understand," he said in a calm voice.
lightsvel Gu Lim immediately smiled back, "I take back what I said about you"
However, before Gu Lim could even finish his sentence, Tian Yang opened his mouth and shoved the God's Fruit into his mouth, consuming it with a single bite.
Gu Lim couldn't believe his eyes, his face filled with shock and disbelief.
When he realized what had just occurred, his entire being trembled in anger, and his face flushed with redness, looking like a demon, "YOU SON OF A BITCH! HOW DARE YOU MOCK ME!"
Tian Yang sneered at Gu Lim and spoke in a disdainful voice, "Hmph! You want me to hand over the God's Fruit without payment, and you expect me to wait until we leave this place for my payment? You want me to trust you, who cannot even fulfill his own promises? Laughable!"
"I already gave Kulas all the treasures we bet on! What more do you want me from?!" Gu Lim shouted, spewing saliva everywhere.
Kulas interrupted, "If I recall correctly, you promised to kowtow before him and call him grandfather for the rest of his life if he survived the trial. Yet, I have not seen you on your knees, much less call him grandfather."
"Kulas, you fucking bastard! If you think I won't beat you up because you're from a fellow Immortal Clan, you have made a huge mistake!" Gu Lim pointed at Kulas, his entire arm shaking uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, Tian Yang felt a strange shift happening in his body. After eating the God's Fruit, it was as if something had loosened up inside him, like unclogging a drain that had been blocked for decades.
His body felt weightless, as though gravity no longer affected him, and all of his senses became more sensitive and keen, allowing him to notice even the smallest details.
Furthermore, he could feel his strength skyrocketing even though there were no changes to his cultivation base.
'This is me at my highest potential? My body feels foreign, as if it doesn't belong to me.' Tian Yang looked at his palms with a nervous smile on his face.
"You trash bastard! I dare you to step outside the safe zone and fight me!" Gu Lim suddenly shouted as he stared at Tian Yang with immense killing intent surging within his eyes.
Tian Yang narrowed his gaze at Gu Lim. Although he was never intimidated by Gu Lim even before consuming the God's Fruit, now that he's essentially experienced a rebirth,he could tell that Gu Lim posed zero threat to him.
Thus, Tian Yang confidentially started walking towards Gu Lim.
Seeing Tian Yang's resolute expression, Kulas prepared to fight alongside him.
The moment Tian Yang stepped outside the safe zone, Gu Lim wasted no time jumping at him.
"Die, you insignificant bastard! So what if you consumed the God's Fruit?! You are still no different than trash in my eyes!" Gu Lim swung his Ancient-grade sword at Tian Yang.
Tian Yang only had an Earth-grade sword on him, so he didn't dare to block Gu Lim's sword head-on, fearing that his Earth-
grade sword would break.
"Why don't you fight someone with proper equipment?!" Kulas suddenly appeared beside Gu Lim, kicking him away from Tian Yang.
When the four people following Gu Lim realized that a fight could no longer be avoided, they retreived their Divine-grade treasures and joined the battle.
Two of them went after Tian Yang while the other two went to assist Gu Lim.
Meanwhile, the spectators there quickly distanced themselves from the fight. None of them wanted to stick their nose in a fight between the Immortal Clans, nor did they have the qualifications to join the battle after witnessing how fierce it was.
"You've made a huge mistake offending the Immortal Gu Clan today, you mortal dog!"
"Even if you managed to get out of this alive, the Immortal Gu Clan will never forgive you!"
The two cultivators fighting Tian Yang cursed at him as they fought.
"Hmph! Does the Immortal Clans only know how to bully the weak? How pathetic!" Tian Yang sneered in disgust.
The two cultivators anticipated an easy victory since they were ganging up on a single person, but they were greatly surprised when they realized that not only were they unable to land a single strike on Tian Yang, but he was actually pushing them back!
"Serenity Sword Strike!"
"Radiant Saber!"
The two cultivators began employing their martial techniques, but Tian Yang dodged them with ease using just the basic movement technique taught by the Immortal Monastery.
"Is this all the Immortal Clans are capable of?! If so, you're not so different than everyone else!" Tian Yang taunted them even further.eastern fantasy
"I'll cut that filthy mouth of yours and feed it to the dogs!"
Although Tian Yang could've killed them at any time, he decided to use them as training so that he could get used to his newfound strength.
Once he was satisfied, Tian Yang stopped messing around and exploded with strength.
This caught his opponents off guard, and before they could even react, Tian Yang extinguished one of their lives with a single sword technique.
"Immortal Rending Sword Strike!"
Tian Yang's sword moved with such viciousness and power that his target's body was separated in half.
When the other cultivator saw his friend being slaughtered in such a manner, he immediately lost all will to continue the fight and raised his hand while shouting, "W-Wait! I give up!"
However, Tian Yang acted as though he didn't hear anything and mercilessly swung his sword again.
"You bas"
"..."
After killing his opponents, Tian Yang turned to look at Kulas' situation. He was still fighting with Gu Lim, but the other two were nowhere to be seen, presumably dead.
