God-Tier Fishing System-Chapter 598
But when facing White Emperor’s phantom, Valerius had been respectful to the extreme, not daring to show the slightest arrogance.
"Don’t worry," Ethan said calmly, his gaze never leaving the battlefield above.
"Everyone will have a share of these hibiscus fruits."
"If they don’t provoke me, I won’t provoke them. If Alina doesn’t take the initiative to cause trouble, I naturally won’t clash with them."
"But heaven-and-earth treasures are obtained by those with destiny and strength. These hibiscus fruits can only be taken according to one’s own ability."
His tone was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable confidence.
"Alright, we’ll listen to Mr. Ethan," Elara said, nodding firmly.
Risa also nodded. Kara said nothing, but her grip on her weapon tightened slightly.
At the same moment, the Purple tenuity Star compass in the sky erupted with light once more.
The rain-curtain of starlight poured down like a celestial waterfall.
The space barrier, already thinned, finally gave way.
With a low, muffled crack, a large hole opened in the barrier, and the surrounding spatial structure began to collapse inward.
This valley—hidden within the Training Trial Secret Realm for countless years, untouched by outsiders—finally reappeared beneath the heavens.
The five three-legged Golden Crows circling above the hibiscus tree let out sharp, furious cries.
The forced opening of the barrier made their hostility instantly surge.
They understood very well what these intruders had come for.
As guardians of the hibiscus fruit, retreat was not an option.
"Junior Sister, the space barrier is open!" Veyr said excitedly, his eyes blazing.
Everyone turned their gaze downward. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
The moment the barrier weakened, the valley’s aura surged upward like a tidal wave.
The mixed fragrance of spiritual herbs and ancient medicinal plants flooded their senses, refreshing the mind and invigorating the body.
Even breathing became smoother.
"This valley is a treasure trove!"
"I never expected that instead of Emperor Sage’s inheritance, we would find the legendary Spiritual Valley and the Hibiscus Sacred Tree."
"I won’t even ask for hibiscus fruit. If I can get a few ancient herbs, this trip will already be worth it."
Several people voiced similar thoughts.
They were not fools.
Everyone desired hibiscus fruit, but it was guarded by nine three-legged Golden Crows.
Even if it could be seized, it would almost certainly fall into Alina’s or Veyr’s hands.
For most of them, it was wiser to aim for other heavenly treasures scattered throughout the valley.
Compared to hibiscus fruit, they were inferior—but still priceless by ordinary standards.
"Ha..."
Alina exhaled slowly, her chest rising and falling slightly.
Because her realm was suppressed, she couldn’t fully unleash the Purple tenuity Star compass’s power.
Forcing it to dismantle the space barrier had caused backlash, draining a portion of her strength.
She swallowed a pill without hesitation.
The elixir melted instantly, warm energy spreading through her meridians as her demonic energy steadily recovered.
Putting away the Purple tenuity Star compass, Alina lowered her gaze.
Below, the three-legged Golden Crows stared up at her with piercing eyes, blazing flames coiling around their bodies.
"The monsters here are not suppressed by the rules," Alina said coldly.
"Among them, there are two at the Upper Demon Lord level."
"This will be a fierce battle."
"Everyone, prepare yourselves."
Her words were short, sharp, and decisive.
The dozen geniuses nodded in unison, demonic energy surging as they readied their weapons.
At that instant, a deep, resonant voice echoed from below, vibrating through the valley.
"This is the Spiritual Valley—the resting place of the Hibiscus Sacred Tree."
"This noble land is not somewhere you may approach at will."
"Leave now. If you barge in recklessly, you will only meet death."
The speaker was clearly one of the three-legged Golden Crows.
As Demon Lords, their intelligence rivaled that of humans, though they had not chosen to take human form.
Alina listened calmly, her expression unreadable.
"The sacred hibiscus tree naturally falls into slumber during its flowering and fruiting period," she replied evenly.
"The hibiscus fruit is a gift bestowed upon all living beings. It is a treasure of heaven and earth—those with destiny may obtain it."
"You and I are both demons. I know exactly what you’re thinking."
"If the hibiscus fruit remains unpicked for long enough, it will fall on its own. At that time, you can devour it and advance."
"But if the sacred tree truly wished to reject outsiders, we would never have discovered this valley, let alone broken the space barrier."
Her voice carried a faint mockery.
Pretending to be righteous was meaningless.
"Haha!" the Golden Crow laughed coldly. "Enough talk."
"If you dare step into the sacred tree’s domain, don’t blame us for discarding any pretense of kinship among demons!"
"In that case..." Alina’s eyes turned icy.
"...then let us fight."
A golden sword appeared in her hand.
The moment it emerged, space trembled.
The surrounding heaven-and-earth spiritual energy became violent, swirling uncontrollably.
A terrifying sword intent erupted from Alina’s body, shooting straight into the sky and dispersing the clouds above.
"So you truly came prepared," the Golden Crow sneered.
"But so what?"
"Under the suppression of the Training Trial Secret Realm, you can only exert half your strength at best."
"To think you can snatch hibiscus fruit from us—pure wishful thinking!"
Alina did not respond.
She raised her sword and gave a single command.
"Everyone—attack!"
In an instant, Veyr and the others unleashed their full power.
Weapons appeared one after another, auras exploding outward like collapsing stars.
Alina took the lead, her figure descending like a streak of golden lightning, eleven rays of light following close behind.
The battle erupted.
High above, demonic energy and sword intent collided violently.
Explosions rang out like thunder, shockwaves rippling across the valley.
Below, hidden behind a massive bluestone, Ethan watched the chaos unfold, a faint smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"They’re fighting," he said softly. "Get ready. It’s our turn soon."
"Good," Kara replied, eyes gleaming.
Elara and Risa felt their blood boil.
There was nothing more thrilling than snatching treasures in the midst of chaos.
And what they were aiming for... were the legendary hibiscus fruits.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dull explosions shook the sky.
Brilliant lights tore through the clouds as demonic energies clashed.
The entire valley fell into turmoil.
Although Alina and her group were terrifyingly strong, their realms were still suppressed.
Even with combat power surpassing the peak of the Ninth Turn Mahayana, they were still inferior to true Demon Lords.
The twelve of them were stopped by the seven three-legged Golden Crows.
