Invincible Over the World-Chapter 1690 - 1682: The Emergence of the Holy Mountain

Chapter 1690: Chapter 1682: The Emergence of the Holy Mountain

Even though Huang Xiaolong had anticipated the medicinal effects of the Holy Fruit to be astonishing, he did not expect it to be no less potent than the Primordial Fruit from the Primordial Divine Tree of his master, the King of Primordial Chaos!

He had consumed a Primordial Fruit before and was naturally aware of its efficacy. At that time, a single Primordial Fruit had directly elevated him from the Late Stage Sixth-Order God King to the Peak of Seventh-Stage God King!

A whole Great Realm increase!

If he could be the first to break through each of the twelve floors of the Holy Mountain, wouldn’t he obtain thirty-six Holy Fruits!

"The Holy Fruit is actually no less effective than the Primordial Fruit? However, I heard that the Primordial Fruit works best with the first one consumed, and the effects diminish with the second and third," Huang Xiaolong said.

If that’s the case, then obtaining thirty-six Holy Fruits wouldn’t be different from obtaining just one.

The Demon King Fan Hui laughed, "Master, you might not know this, but the Holy Fruit is different from the Primordial Fruit. While the Primordial Fruit decreases in effectiveness with each consumption, the Holy Fruit becomes more effective. For example, the first Holy Fruit may equal the Primordial Fruit, but with a second Holy Fruit, the effect will surpass the Primordial, and the third Holy Fruit will be even more potent by ten percent more than the second, the fourth ten percent more than the third!"

Huang Xiaolong was stunned.

This!

If that’s true, then by the time he consumes the thirty-sixth Holy Fruit, wouldn’t its effect be several times or even dozens of times that of refining the Primordial Fruit for the first time?

"Over the years, what is the maximum number of Holy Fruits obtained in Hell?" Huang Xiaolong asked.

"The most was twenty-eight, and only one person did that. Second, it’s twenty-seven, and four people achieved twenty-seven," responded Golden Lion Man Wan Yutian. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"No one has obtained more than thirty?" Huang Xiaolong was surprised.

All four shook their heads.

"No, the one who got the most, twenty-eight, is Qin Fan from the Ghost World, the current City Lord of Fengdu City," said the Primordial Giant Tai Yue. "Although Qin Fan passed through eleven floors back then, he didn’t get first in several, so it was only twenty-eight. Besides Qin Fan, the other person who passed eleven floors is Shu Wei from the Smoke Water Palace, the current Palace Master."

Huang Xiaolong was taken aback, "Palace Master Shu Wei of Smoke Water Palace!"

This indeed surprised him.

Qin Fan is known as the top expert in the Ghost World, with unmatched talent. It wasn’t surprising for him to pass eleven floors of the Holy Mountain. However, Shu Wei, the Palace Master of Smoke Water Palace, also passing eleven floors was astonishing to him.

Despite the discrepancy in prestige and fame, the Palace Master Shu Wei of Smoke Water Palace was much less known than Qin Fan.

"This Palace Master Shu Wei of Smoke Water Palace, renowned as the most beautiful in the Asura World back then, had a line of geniuses pursuing her stretching millions of miles," said the Asura King Jin Yuan with a tone of complexity. "No one knows her true talent, and she rose to prominence quickly. Her passing of the Holy Mountain’s eleven floors back then surprised everyone. However, after that, she hardly appeared in public, reportedly retreating deep within Smoke Water Palace in cultivation for these billions of years, which is why her fame isn’t comparable to Qin Fan."

The Primordial Giant Tai Yue sighed in agreement, "Smoke Water Palace was ranked thirty-second in the Asura World back then. Thanks to Shu Wei, they skyrocketed into the top ten in just billions of years, ranking up to third!"

In the eyes of Tai Yue and others, Shu Wei belonged to a younger generation, yet when her name was mentioned, everyone held solemn expressions.

Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flickered, "What about Shu Wei’s strength?"

The Demon King Fan Hui shook his head, "Unknown, but according to our investigations, shortly after passing the eleventh floor of the Holy Mountain, she ascended to the rank of Great Emperor and now there are rumors she’s at the Emperor Tenth Stage Late Stage Peak. Other rumors suggest she surpassed the Great Emperor realm long ago."

"Indeed, though Chu Han, the ancestor of Slaughter God Sect, is revered as the top expert in Asura World, even he doesn’t dare claim he could defeat Shu Wei," said Golden Lion Man Wan Yutian.

Huang Xiaolong pondered, realizing he had underestimated Smoke Water Palace.

"Master, once you enter the Holy Mountain, you must not use any Divine Artifact," Tai Yue cautioned after a while, "Neither weapons nor armor are allowed. If you do, it will trigger the prohibitions of the Holy Mountain, bringing down Heavenly Punishment!"

"Is there such a rule?" Huang Xiaolong was astonished.

"Yes, some defied it before, used Divine Artifacts, and were obliterated without a trace by the descending Heavenly Punishment," confirmed the Asura King Jin Yuan solemnly. "This Heavenly Punishment isn’t ordinary. Even an Emperor Expert would be annihilated, so when crossing each floor, remember to rely solely on your own power."

Seeing their serious expressions, Huang Xiaolong knew they weren’t joking and nodded, "Understood. Is there any other restriction?"

Primordial Giant Tai Yue added, "Another limit is that the Holy Mountain appears for only twelve years. After twelve years, it will vanish back into the Nether Sea. Hence, no matter how far you progress within twelve years, you must exit from the first floor’s exit. Otherwise, after twelve years, you will be trapped inside forever."

"Forever?" Huang Xiaolong was shocked.

"Yes, once trapped inside the Holy Mountain, you’ll disappear forever. No one knows where those people went," answered the Demon King Fan Hui.

"Is there no other exit apart from the first floor?" Huang Xiaolong inquired.

"Some say that if you can pass the Twelfth Floor, you can exit from there, but since no one has ever done that, who knows if it’s true," said Wan Yutian.

Huang Xiaolong nodded.

During the journey, Huang Xiaolong asked Tai Yue and others about more details concerning the Holy Mountain and Qin Fan, Shu Wei.

A few hours later, Huang Xiaolong and his group arrived near the sea center of the Nether Sea.

Song Litao, observing from afar as Huang Xiaolong approached riding on a Red Flame Black Qilin, felt his last sliver of false hope extinguish. He had still clung to one last hope, yet now it seemed evident that Huang Xiaolong had truly tamed that Red Flame Black Qilin.

Noticing the killing intent emanating from Song Litao, Shi Yinyu, and the Howling Moon Wolf Clan, Huang Xiaolong surreptitiously scoffed.

Soon after Huang Xiaolong’s arrival, the calm sea below began to churn, as if a terrifying storm was brewing beneath.

"Master, the Holy Mountain is about to emerge," the Asura King Jin Yuan informed Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong nodded, holding his breath, intently watching the sea surface.

As time elapsed, the sea below surged, the waves grew larger, and the tumult spread until eventually, torrents roared across hundreds of millions of miles, waves surging to hundred zhang, thousand zhang, thousands of zhang high!

Boom!

Suddenly, as if heaven and earth exploded, the surface of the Nether Sea shattered instantly, and a humongous object erupted from the depths.
