Below was a bottomless green abyss woven from countless branches and vines.

"Quick! Find the Divine Wood Fruit!"

Raylo had no time to marvel at the magnificent spectacle. He urged Sun onward, flying deeper into the canopy along the enormous branches.

Sun also knew that time was short.

Two Giant Dragons, one gold and one black, were like streaks of light darting through a green labyrinth, swiftly navigating and searching the impossibly complex canopy of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Wood.

High in the sky, the clash between Thunderbolt and Natural Magic grew ever more ferocious.

Raylo’s heart was in his throat.

He knew Astra hadn’t bought them much time.

They had to gather enough Divine Wood Fruits and retreat immediately—before the Jade Dragon Emperor realized what was happening!

The canopy of the Heaven-Reaching Divine Wood was a vast and complex three-dimensional labyrinth.

Countless branches, each as thick as a mountain range, stretched out in every direction, intertwining to form layer upon layer of green worlds.

Here, the concepts of up, down, left, and right blurred, and a single moment of carelessness could get one lost amidst the endless branches and leaves.

With Raylo on his back, Sun weaved nimbly between the enormous branches.

The Black King followed silently off to the side, its dark gold, slitted pupils scanning their surroundings.

High above, the battle between Astra and the Jade Dragon Emperor had reached a fever pitch.

Frenzied Thunderbolts and the boundless Power of Nature had utterly transformed the sky into a purgatory of energy.

The deafening roars echoed like a rapid, relentless drumbeat.

"Found it!"

Suddenly, Raylo’s eyes lit up.

Just ahead, at the tip of a forked and exceptionally thick branch, tucked beneath a colossal leaf that seemed carved from jade, he saw a glimmer of green light unlike any other.

The light was soft and unassuming, yet it held a pulse of Life Energy so incredibly pure it made his heart race.

"Sun! Get us closer!"

Raylo’s voice trembled with a hint of excitement.

"ROAR!"

Sun let out a low roar. With a powerful beat of its wings, its massive body surged forward, crossing hundreds of meters in an instant and coming to a steady halt beside the giant leaf.

Raylo eagerly pushed aside the leaf, which was larger than his entire body.

Behind the leaf, a single fruit hung silently from the thick branch.

The fruit was roughly the size of a human head. Its entire surface was a fantastical, jade-green color, with smooth skin that seemed to contain a liquid luminescence flowing slowly within.

The Divine Wood Fruit!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Raylo drew the Divine Weapon Broken Flow from his waist.

SHING!

The blade sang a clear, high note.

Raylo took a deep breath. With a sudden burst of strength, he precisely swung Broken Flow at the stem connecting the Divine Wood Fruit to the branch.

SNAP!

The incredibly tough stem snapped cleanly under the sharp edge of the Divine Weapon Broken Flow.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Raylo shot out his other hand, catching the Divine Wood Fruit the instant it broke free and pulling it securely into his embrace.

It felt warm and smooth to the touch, and was surprisingly heavy, like holding a piece of the finest warm jade.

A wave of immense and incredibly pure Life Energy washed over him.

’What a treasure!’

Raylo’s eyes shone with excitement.

The value of this Divine Wood Fruit far exceeded his imagination.

This was not just a Treasure that would help Moonlight and the others grow; for himself, and for any Cultivator, this was the kind of ultimate prize one could only dream of obtaining!
