Extinction Dao Fruit

Lu Yang took out a piece of red cloth and carefully wrapped up the dragon-pattern jade bracelet. This was a genuine immortal artifact capable of blocking multiple attacks from an immortal. Even with its energy now depleted, it remained priceless. "It seems that immortal of the Xinhuo Dynasty is extraordinarily powerful." Lu Yang looked grave. For that immortal to want Ao Ling dead was no different from making an enemy of Immortal Kirin, and by extension the Four Ancient Celestials. It was an irreconcilable feud, a battle to the bitter end. "Still, why didn't that person target Senior Lianyi? Did they fail to find her? No, Senior Lianyi revealed herself in the Demon Domain, and the entire cultivation world knows about it. That person must know too. Could there be some other reason they didn't make a move? "Wait, I remember Daoist Lord Wanfa mentioning that an immortal has been deliberately erasing all trace of the Xinhuo Dynasty's existence, slaughtering anyone who knew of it. "If the immortal erasing the Xinhuo Dynasty and Immortal Kirin's opponent are one and the same person..." Lu Yang seemed to connect the dots as he reasoned it out. "Could it be that Senior Ao Ling and Senior Lianyi didn't go into slumber at the same time? Senior Lianyi slumbered earlier, right after the great war when the Xinhuo Dynasty hadn't yet been established. Senior Ao Ling entered slumber later, by which point the Xinhuo Dynasty already existed. Senior Ao Ling knew about the Xinhuo Dynasty—perhaps even far more than Daoist Lord Wanfa—so she was targeted for extermination as well?" The more Lu Yang thought about it, the more alarmed he became. If his hypothesis held true, what on earth was that immortal's objective, to go so far as to make enemies of the Four Ancient Celestials? "Fairy, can you tell what Dao fruit Immortal Kirin's opponent possesses?" Immortal Fairy frowned. Spreading her immortal sense, she scrutinized every trace left behind, refusing to overlook the slightest clue. When she spoke, her voice bore a rare note of hesitation. "That's the strangest part of all. The methods used by Immortal Kirin's opponent are very familiar to me. It's almost... almost like he was fighting me." "What?!" Hearing Immortal Fairy say that, Lu Yang felt his heart skip a beat. The deeper they looked into the Xinhuo Dynasty, the more terrifyingly murky the waters seemed. Maybe he really ought to invite Eldest Senior Sister over to assess this place. If anyone asked, he could just say Immortal Fairy had possessed him and brought him here. Immortal Fairy pointed at a particular set of combat traces. "Look at these ruins. Traces of Immortal Kirin's Dao fruit techniques are everywhere, yet they're all battered and broken, as though they were utterly wiped out all at once. "Generally speaking, Immortal Kirin's Dao fruit techniques only end up looking like this after I self-detonate. "Could it be that his opponent also self-detonated... Wait, what if it wasn't self-detonation, but extinction?" Immortal Fairy smacked her fist into her palm, a sudden realization dawning upon her. "Right! The other party possesses the Extinction Dao fruit! No wonder it looked so familiar and so similar to mine!" "What is the Extinction Dao fruit?" Lu Yang asked, completely bewildered. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing. "Let me think about where to start." This fell right into Immortal Fairy's area of expertise. "Do you remember that before I formed my rudimentary Immortal Dao fruit, I had formed another rudimentary Dao fruit first?" Lu Yang nodded. Immortal Fairy had mentioned that before. According to her, she was originally meant to be the world's very first immortal. However, she had faced a dilemma when choosing her Dao fruit. After forming a rudimentary Dao fruit, she had found herself dissatisfied. Later, inspired by Immortal Suiyue, she discarded her original rudimentary Dao fruit and condensed the rudimentary Immortal Dao fruit instead, eventually attaining immortality through it and consolidating the Immortal Dao fruit. "The first rudimentary Dao fruit I formed back then was the rudimentary Extinction Dao fruit. As the name implies, it's a Dao fruit capable of destroying all things. Its combat prowess is terrifying! "At the time, I felt that attaining immortality through the Extinction Dao fruit didn't quite suit my temperament. Then Immortal Suiyue told me that all things have their rise and their fall, and both prosperity and ruin are fleeting as a night-blooming cereus in the eyes of nature. Only by emulating nature and returning to simplicity can one maintain eternal might. "I thought those words resonated wonderfully with me, so I discarded the rudimentary Extinction Dao fruit and switched to the rudimentary Immortal Dao fruit." Immortal Fairy spoke of it as though it were the most casual thing in the world. Only those who reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage would truly comprehend how terrifying her statement was. For a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, comprehending even a single rudimentary Dao fruit was already extraordinarily difficult. Who else could discard and change rudimentary Dao fruits whenever they pleased like Immortal Fairy did?
