Chapter 408: The State of Mind Warning
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

The idea clung to Minghe’s mind since its inception. The Star Tree of the Origin had been growing in the Starry Sky Region for many hundreds of millions of years. Anyone who had laid a finger on it was dead, with no exception. The limit on the Star Tree of the Origin could kill anyone, including experts at the Half Step to the Supreme Realm.

Though Hongjun had secret weapons and Fated Chances on the Battlefield of Gods and Demons as well, few would believe he could get the Star Tree of the Origin. Hongjun was at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm and only had a few Spiritual Treasures of Chaos, which could not compete with those at the Half Step to the Supreme Realm at all.

Hongjun’s plan for the tree should be a total failure. Minghe should have set aside those thoughts right away, but he did not. He actually believed in them. People would consider him crazy if they found that out.

But Minghe really was a crazy man. In Untainted Land, he would turn into a Rakshasa. He would bear the Divine Punishment with his body. Under his enemies’ noses, he could pass tribulation. In the presence of the Way of Heaven, he could slaughter a Sage. Moreover, he would swallow the Origin when Untainted Land was shattering. Everything that he did was crazy.

While Hongjun did not often show his face in Untainted Land, he was not any less crazy than Minghe. Even Minghe did not dare to swallow the Way of Heaven of Untainted Land, but Hongjun did it anyway. If not for Minghe, Hongjun would have succeeded in his crazy plan.

Craziness had always been in Minghe’s and Hongjun’s bones. Those two would not miss an opportunity, even when they had to risk their lives. The practice was to fight against the world—one would achieve nothing if he followed the rules. If Hongjun had set his mind on the tree, Minghe would not be too surprised. After all, the Spiritual Roots of Chaos of the tree were extraordinary.

No matter how many opportunities there were, Minghe had prepared himself. He had to be cautious of Hongjun because he had been acting weird. After all, it was a critical situation concerning the Star Tree of the Origin. Looking back, Minghe felt that Hongjun might have a reason to have offered the collaboration.

No matter how hard the wind blew, Minghe stood his ground. He could not stop others’ plotting, but he could equip himself with strength and methods. If Hongjun should turn against him, Minghe would show him no mercy and fight to the death.

There were only two fruits, but no one had picked them. They all looked into the distance. Five people and 10 Starry Sky Giant Beasts at the Peak of the Fate Realm were still tangled in the fight. They fought so hard that they would have destroyed everything in their way but for the limit on the tree.

Minghe and Hongjun stood back to watch the battle. It was not easy to find the perfect timing to snatch the final two fruits. They had to find it to grab the fruits and leave soon, lest they get besieged.

However, there was still some trouble. Just now, Minghe grabbing nine fruits made people angry, so some people decided to argue, who were five masters at the Late Stage of the Fate Realm. Those at the Early and Middle Stage of the Fate Realm might also be jealous, but they could only watch since they were too weak.

Minghe was not surprised. It was natural that the precious Fruits of Stars of the Origin would draw some attention. Only an ordinary man was off the radar. Minghe was too strong to care about jealousy. Five Cultivators at the Late Stage of the Fate Realm could not harm him at all unless they had treasures like the Four-pole Separation Evil Formation. Otherwise, it would be useless.

One of them stepped forward and said to Minghe, “My Fellow Taoist, there are not many Heaven and Sky treasure fruits. We all scrambled for them, but you alone got nine. We want five fruits from you as a friendly gift. What do you think about that?”

Minghe was looking off into the distance and just shot a glance over as someone spoke. Then, he looked back at the battle in the distance. Hongjun also ignored them. They were watching the Star Tree of the Origin closely, taking no interest in other things.

The five men became annoyed. It had been years since someone had ignored them like that. Moreover, those two were just at the Middle Stage of the Fate Realm, but despised them publicly. They felt embarrassed and could not take such humiliation.

Another one of them snapped. “Don’t make us force you. You and your friend are only at the Middle Stage. We don’t know what you used to kill the Blood Asura. But do you think you can use that against us? You’d better hand it over if you don’t want any trouble.”

Minghe frowned as he was focused on both the battle and Hongjun. He needed a plan to steal the fruit and to prepare for Hongjun’s possible betrayal. He did not have time for that, but these unsensible people really made him annoyed.

“Annoyed? Why is that?” Minghe could not help frowning. It had been years since Minghe felt anxiety. “Why now? Is it because of those guys? It can’t be.” In the aspect of temperament cultivation, Minghe was a master. It was impossible to feel anxiety from only people’s words and intentions.

But this feeling of anxiety was real. He tried to find out why, but it was in vain. Moreover, the feeling sharpened over time. It baffled Minghe until it suddenly faded away.

“It’s the State of Mind warning.” Minghe’s countenance slightly changed just for a little while. Minghe had not experienced that kind of State of Mind warning for a long time. It was the sign of danger. It was stronger than ever, as if a life-threatening attack was imminent, which really puzzled Minghe.

Here, whether they were Starry Sky Giant Beasts or Cultivators at the Peak of the Fate Realm, they could not pose a life-or-death threat to Minghe. They might have methods, but Minghe had secret weapons as well. He could still manage a narrow escape even though they had Half Step to the Supreme Realm treasures.

But the feeling was so intense that Minghe had to find the source of it. Because he had failed to track it down, he could only guess. He knew that he was formidable and few things could put his life in danger.

The tactical formation at the Half Step to the Supreme Realm, the Half Supreme Treasure of Chaos, and the tempting Spiritual Roots of Chaos on the Star Tree of the Origin were both possibilities. Those two were not deadly as long as Minghe exploded a Four-pole Separation Evil Formation for a narrow escape.

The remaining one was the Star Tree of the Origin. Its limit could even kill Half Step to the Supreme Realm experts. Its history still remained unknown to all forces, which was the most mysterious part of the tree. However, the Star Tree of the Origin would not attack first. So where could the threat come from?

Because the State of Mind had warned him, Minghe naturally took precautions, not only against others but also the tree and, most especially, against Hongjun. Every time that he met Hongjun, Hongjun was more mysterious than before. Thus, Minghe had to guard against him more and more. In such cases, Minghe could not be too careful.

Now, he needed to take care of the five desperate people. He had to do it neatly lest they get in the way when he scrambled for the final two Fruits of Stars of the Origin. Additionally, their actions might encourage other experts at the same level to follow suit. Thus, he needed to do it quickly.

Minghe glanced at them and snapped in a deep voice, “Get lost!” His words were full of killing intent. Just as he uttered them, everything changed and black snowflakes fell from the sky, bringing more killing intent. In a flash, a mighty Vital Force of Destruction burst from inside Minghe and a pitch-black axe emerged in his hand.

People were all stunned by that Highest Grade Spiritual Treasure of Chaos. They did not expect for Minghe to have such a Magic Weapon. It was no wonder that he was able to kill the Blood Asura. He must have used the axe. However, the axe did not scare them away. Instead, more people gathered around him. Even the tangling experts at the Peak of the Fate Realm noticed the axe.
