Killing Dao Fruit
Chapter 103 - 101 The Dao Fruit of Suffering at the Killing Banquet

Chapter 103: Chapter 101 The Dao Fruit of Suffering at the Killing Banquet

Wang Yuan lay silently behind them, seeing everything clearly.

The Cup of Immortality Wine was like a pure ruby adorned with golden edges, seeming to gather all the brilliance and beauty of the world, making one unwilling to look away after a single glance.

At the same time, a tempting fragrance suddenly diffused.

It instantly filled every corner of their bodies, making them feel as if they were floating on air, as if their bones had lightened by a fraction of an ounce in a moment.

Moreover, whether it was in Wang Yuan’s normal field of vision or the vision granted by Unsightly Observation, it remained real and singular, without a hint of change.

A voice of temptation rose in the heart of everyone who saw it:

Drink it! Drink it!

Once you drink it, the Immortality Wine will nourish the ’living’ knowledge within, and grow into a branch connecting to the ’Undying Tree.’

And steal a Killing Dao Fruit that can grant immortality!

"What a fine thing indeed, no wonder countless people are desperately pursuing it.

But who could have imagined that this Immortality Wine is actually the world’s most irresistible... bait?"

As fellow Fishermen, we may be greedy, but we only fish for one or two individuals. However, that thing from Outer Heaven aims to use this as bait to fish for all the sentient beings in the Mortal World Realm!"

Wang Yuan had once witnessed the true face of the ’Undying Tree’ within the White Jade Scroll.

He knew very well that the so-called Undying Tree, a manifestation of the Great Dao, was actually the source of all the distortions and chaos in this world.

The war that had continued for hundreds, thousands of years between heaven and earth, was more like a protracted world offensive and defensive battle.

The ’Undying Tree’ used the Killing Dao Fruit, which could grant immortality, as bait to make all the world’s sentient beings who craved longevity, sacrifice their kind to brew Immortality Wine.

The ’Killing Banquet’ was essentially a grand sacrifice, slowly bleeding the world and humankind.

So instead of calling it the ’Undying Tree,’ Wang Yuan felt a more appropriate name would be ’Killing Tree’!

Could one really expect fair dealing from such a being?

Not even dogs would believe it!

However.

The four people who had survived amidst the deceit and manipulation of thousands didn’t possess this insight and awareness.

"Husband, you have the best affinity with this wine, please drink it."

To say that one wouldn’t be tempted by such a treasure would surely be a lie.

But after instinctively swallowing her saliva, Princess Consort Guo Caiyu still firmly pushed her husband forward.

Just like the countless uncertain days in the past, she continued to support him silently.

Naturally, there was a very practical factor here as well; the Immortality Wine was originally brewed by the Yili King specifically for his Owl God Snatching Food Formation.

There was also a matter of compatibility.

They did not possess the ’Treasonous’ abilities of Wang Yunhu, who, with an eagle’s sight and a wolf’s observation, could perfectly seize the benefits within the Immortality Wine after stealing it.

For this reason, Wang Yunhu never cared whether his Life Chart was compatible or not, as long as the Elixir head was of high-quality.

But it was different for others.

When the three talents produce four symbols, and four symbols produce five elements, the adaptability of the ’Three Talents and Three Wonders Formation’ was much wider than that of the ’Vermilion Bird Style,’ but the most suitable person would surely still be Zhou Jingxiang.

After all, his whole family is in the wine, isn’t it natural that the affinity would be present?

At this moment, Wei Anning and the Ghost Matchmaker bowed their heads, daring not to take another glance at the cup of wine.

Even with an intense desire for the Immortality Wine, they couldn’t resist the enslavement by the ’Deceit Object · Life Trading Coin,’ which lasted for more than a decade.

Even just entertaining the thought would bring immediate severe pain to their tongues.

Zhou Jingxiang turned his head towards his princess consort, gently took her white and jade-like hands, and his fierce eyes softened a rare tenderness.

Having weathered the storm together, probably in each other’s eyes, they were the only light in the world, right?

Then.

The words he spoke next made everyone at the scene, both ’living’ and ’dead,’ doubt if they had heard correctly:

"Caiyu, this wine... you should drink it.

As husband and wife who are one, sharing the same fate, it should be harmless for you to drink it.

Moreover, since you’ve perfected the Dragon Robe Charm Technique, with this as a foundation, the Killing Dao Fruit you’ll steal from the ’Undying Tree’ will surely be of even better quality!"

"No, no, my husband, you should drink it. I believe that after you’ve stolen the Killing Dao Fruit, you will be able to brew me another Cup of Immortality Wine one day."

In the face of the Immortality Wine, which could make countless people break their heads fighting for it, this couple was holding hands, pushing it towards each other, neither willing to enjoy the treasure alone.

Setting aside what kind of people they were, just this relationship, tested time and again, was quite remarkable to behold.

Couples capable of this in the world are probably few and far between.

More common are scenes of ’every man for himself when disaster strikes,’ and ’together in adversity, apart in wealth.’

At that moment.

Wei Anning, who knew he had no stake in this wine and pretended to be indifferent, suddenly felt an itch on his back.

Scratching the back of his neck, he scratched it again after a while...

He himself might not have realized what had happened yet.

But Wang Yuan, lying not far behind him, saw clearly that as he kept scratching, large patches of mycelium were spreading continuously on the back of his neck.

It vaguely looked as if it was turning into a lump of flesh tumor.

But apart from feeling a bit itchy, he had no awareness of any abnormalities.

After a while, the flesh tumor seemed to gradually grow brows and eyes, and even cracked open a mouth.

Seeing that Zhou Jingxiang and Guo Caixu were still pushing back, the flesh tumor, no, the head suggested somewhat impatiently,

"Why doesn’t the old Taoist let you two, husband and wife, drink together?"

The four people standing in front of the Immortality Wine were startled and hurriedly prepared to turn back to check.

But for some reason, the four felt as if their bodies were rusted in place, making even the simple act of turning their heads extremely difficult.

And it wasn’t until this moment that Zhou Jingxiang and Guo Caixu were horrified to find that their palms had grown silently together at some point.

Underneath the skin, purple mycelia weaved through, up the wrists, forearms, arms, shoulders... spreading at the speed of flight and gradually "stitching" the two of them together.

In just a short moment, as their clothes and dragon robes corroded and peeled away, each half of their bodies fused together like conjoined twins.

"Ah! My husband!"

"Caiyu!"

Although it didn’t hurt at all, the extreme horror of the scene made them involuntarily scream out in terror, nearly fainting.

Tai Sui Parasitic Skill!

At the same time, the headless corpse of Old Taoist Ge slowly sat up from the ground and stepped over, one pace at a time.

He had used this Taoist Skill once before when he consumed his four disciples.

Only this time, he personally parasitized the strongest, Wei Anning, and let Zhou Jingxiang and Guo Caixu parasitize each other through the mycelium, becoming one entity.

Old Taoist Ge, originally an official Magician from the Divine Palace Supervisor, was all too aware of the restrictions of dragon energy.

The curse, Defamation Technique, was actually the most powerful because it was impossible to defend against.

On the contrary, it had no restraining power against tangible things like knives, swords, poisons, spores, stones, and flames...

After all, you couldn’t say that the flames produced by friction and those kindled by Daoist Skill were essentially different, could you?

The moment he fell to the ground, he had silently dispersed spores around.

Originally, with allies present, bound by the "Taoist Contract," he couldn’t use such a powerful weapon.

Now that even Zhou Wenye had died, Old Taoist Ge had no more scruples.

Zhou Jingxiang and the others immediately tasted the terrifying methods of a Red Seal Mage.

"This shabby old thing really has no shame. Others might not have the strength, but this old fox of the Red Seal also plays this trick?"

There was no need to use the Divination Bone to confirm.

Wang Yuan knew from the start that Old Taoist Ge had not really died!

With information provided by Lady Peach Fairy, he was very familiar with the various abilities of the "Ganoderma Resuscitation Immortal Law."

His physique was greatly strengthened after integrating with [Purple Bearded Tai Sui] and achieving a [Divine Power Talisman: Ganoderma Vitality Extension] after receiving the talisman.

He had strong recovery abilities and could even engage in direct confrontation with the Dao General; even being ambushed wouldn’t leave him as disheveled as before.

In addition, he could use his own body to selectively culture spores with various magical abilities, producing incredible effects.

Toxins, laughter, disease, parasitism, nourishment...

He could even use spores to infect humans and animals, driving dead bodies to "reanimate."

And the "Precept Taboo 2" of this Taoist Skill directly revealed his terrifying survival ability.

"Nature gradually enjoys the shade; daily sun exposure must not exceed three two-hour periods.

The only weak point is the brain-combined fungus, but the fungus can live in any organ inside the body; if the fungus doesn’t die, the body can regenerate!"

In other words, for Old Taoist Ge, a head was not a necessity at all.

Seeing the cunning old fox standing up again.

Wang Yuan, who had already forcibly ceased breathing, felt as if his breath was frozen, and with his completely collapsed chest, no one would doubt whether this was a corpse.

At this moment, Zhou Jingxiang and Guo Caixu had already turned into a conjoined monster with four arms and four legs.

Under the control of the dominant Tai Sui inside them, they reached out together and picked up the cup of Immortality Wine, pouring it into their mouth.

Immediately afterward, a small, ethereal branch burst forth from their combined body, piercing the void above their heads and connecting to that terrifying existence beyond the heavens.

Then, the voice of Old Taoist Ge continued to emanate from behind Wei Anning’s neck:

"Heh, immortality?

This Killing Dao Fruit is too bitter; I dare not indulge myself in it."
