Chapter 1162: A Pitfall of Divine Fruits

A Pitfall of Divine Fruits . . .

Cha Eun Xiao kept walking upward silently, listening to people talking. He suddenly felt that everything was so close but so far away but at the same time, as if things had happened in the last day but also felt like centuries earlier.

Every year, every day, people talked the same, and thought the same when they were heading to Heaven's Terrace.

Everybody was smart, intelligent, cautious, and thoughtful!

However, when they got to the top, their eyes would turn red.

Nobody cared about a damn thing about the future, life, or others. What mattered to them was the moment! Only the present!

When the shadowless string showed up with two fruits hanging on it, everybody's eyes turned red…

People had thought about cutting the string. In fact, people had tried countless weird ways to get the fruits. However, even a level nine Dao Origin Stage cultivator waving a sharp divine sword to cut it, the sword would bound away when it touched the string. It was just like an ant hitting a big tree.

When the sword bounded away, a bolt of lightning would appear.

When the lightning appeared, people could see the shadowless string was colorful.

The lightning would strike on the person who tried to cut the string. No matter who that person was, how powerful he or she was, he or she would become a pile of ashes.

Both the soul and the body were destroyed!

Forever gone in the world!

As time went by, nobody dared to touch that string ever again. It was taboo in the world.

Cha Eun Xiao finally stepped on the destination, Heaven's Terrace. His mind was full of different weird stories about this place.

Heaven's Terrace was a broad platform, which was a million meters wide. It was like a huge mirror. There was not even a tiny piece of rock on the floor.

It was a huge mountain that had been cut off the upper half over ten thousand years earlier. However, nothing grew on the cut section!

However, in the middle of the platform, there was a small lake. That might be something strange. Even though it was a small lake, it was actually about a thousand meters wide. People crowded around the lake as if they were watching something…

The platform was crowded with people who were all looking at the same place.

On the right of Heaven's Terrace, there was a range of mountains which covered the sunlight that should have shined upon the platform.

Between those mountains and Heaven's Terrace, there was a cliff. The cliff wasn't deep, but it was filled with undying fog.

Two fruits were hanging in the air like magic about seventy meters high from the platform, one of which was black, while the other was red!

Frost kept appearing on the surface of the black one. It kept emitting cold qi. The red one was shining with a red glow, slowly melting the frost on the black fruit.

The frost couldn't cover the black fruit wholly. However, the red fruit's glow couldn't melt all the frost on the black fruit.

People kept staring at the two fruits with greediness in their eyes.

They kept swallowing.

Those were Divine Yin Yang Fruits. They just appeared like that, in the air, attracting everybody's attention!

Cha Eun Xiao stepped on the platform and started to look at the two fruits too.

His pupils shrunk.

When he looked at the fruits, many people noticed him.

Many people didn't realize there was a new man since they were too concentrated on the fruits. Those who noticed him just turned their head away after a glance to continue looking at the fruits.

[Another man… so what?]

[It is probably another man who will die soon…]

Strangers were the last thing this place lacked!

For people in this place, everybody was a stranger except themselves!

Suddenly, the crowd turned silent. Everybody was holding their breath.

A shadow dashed over to the sky.

He was aiming at the fruits!

Cha Eun Xiao's pupils shrunk again! He kept staring at the shadow.

It was moving so fast that there were clapping sound around on its way to the fruits. That man was apparently much faster than Cha Eun Xiao at the moment.

In other words, that man was at least better than him in moving skill!

Divine Yin Yang Fruits were right there. No matter what people did, they were hanging there!

The shadow fleeted over and grabbed the two fruits with one hand…

The hand was so close to grabbing the fruits!

It touched the fruits!

At this moment, the fruits abruptly shot up!

Maybe it was more appropriate to say it was abruptly pulled up! There seemed to be a mighty hand pulling the string!

There sounded a deplorable exclamation!

That man's body stopped in the air. Suddenly, bursting sounds came from everywhere of his body. He was painfully struggling and convulsing, but neither helped.

Suddenly, it was becoming smaller and smaller. In the end, it became a dark object in the same size as a human fist…

The two fruits were gone.

There was only that dark object in the sky that suddenly rushed up to the sky. It suddenly disappeared after that, as if it had gotten into the void.

People kept staring at what had happened. They even forgot to breathe. novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt

Nobody among the tens of thousands of people ever breathed while it was happening.

After a long time…

Something shined with a glaring light in the sky.

Another two fruits showed up.

One red, the other black; one ice, the other fire. Two fruits!

Divine Yin Yang Fruits.

The two fruits were quietly hanging there again.

The sun shined upon the Yang Fruit, and people could see the shadow of an almost-transparent hook inside the fruit.

That Dao Origin Stage cultivator who had rushed over to the fruits had eternally gone.

The crowd remained silent.

Everybody felt like they got punched really hard on the chest!

A Dao Origin Stage cultivator was gone within the time of a snap!

It was not the first time for many of these men to see the same scene, but when they saw it again, they still got shocked. They just had a feeling as if they were the one who got hooked. No matter how many times they watched others die in the same way, they never got numbed!
