Fairy Tail: I Am the God

Murong Wan said to Leon helplessly, her tone reproachful.

"I'm in a hurry."

Leon rubbed his forehead and said to Murong Wan speechlessly.

"Alright, don't worry. This black storm will reach its end in at most one day. Can't you feel that the black storm's energy is almost exhausted?"

Murong Wan smiled and shook her head.

"It seems so."

Leon nodded and said.

"No need to wait anymore, we've reached the finish line!"

Murong Wan looked at the faintly visible cluster of buildings in the distance and said with a smile.

As soon as the words were spoken, a black storm connecting heaven and earth swept into a city entirely made of black hearthstone.

Upon entering the city, a black storm swept towards the city's center, where a massive crater, a full kilometer deep, appeared before Leon and Murong Wan.

The black storm, however, remained directly above the giant black crater, propelled by an invisible force.

The black storm transformed into wisps of black mist and vanished into the sky, while the corpses within it all fell into the giant crater.

"There's actually a city here?"

Leon looked at the tall buildings around him and asked in surprise.

"This ruin was originally the territory of a Dou Zong. Although it is unknown why it was eventually sealed in this ruin, it is normal for there to be a city inside."

Murong Wan said with a smile.

"The ruins of a Dou Zong?"

Leon walked toward the black crater, his eyes filled with boredom.

"It's the cave dwelling of an ancient Dou Zong, and it's been sealed for a long time. Over the past few years, it has accumulated a great many ancient artifacts."

The fact that the battle aura here still carries an ancient scent reveals that this place is actually an ancient land that has been sealed away for a long time.

Murong Wan laughed and scolded.

"Alright then, let's go down and see if there's anything good inside."

After Leon finished speaking, his figure flickered as he tried to rush into the giant pit.

"Wait a moment!"

Murong Wan reluctantly came to Leon's side, looking at him with a coquettish expression.

Then, the two walked side by side. In their sight, the giant pit seemed to be always black. No matter how they flew, the endless blackness always existed in front of them.

"Buzz!"

As the two gradually flew down, the black light curtain got closer and closer to them. Finally, during their high-speed flight, it was as if they had passed through a layer of energy.

Passing through the black light curtain, the two did not see the treasure they had imagined, but instead found themselves in a brightly lit passage.

"How could this be a passage? There's no way the corpses that Black Storm transported here could fit here."

Leon frowned as he looked at the dark walls surrounding the passage.

"The black light barrier we just passed through must be some kind of mechanism within this ruin. Those corpses that came into contact with the light barrier were probably teleported to another location."

We two, being living beings, were transported into this black light barrier. We're not separated now, so it seems this is the only passage in these ruins!

Murong Wan frowned as she spoke.

"Let's go. This passage is probably not that simple. We'll see soon enough."

Leon waved his hand and walked directly into the depths of the passage.

After walking for more than ten minutes, the two arrived at the end of the passage. But in their sight, a blood-red pool appeared, and on its surface lay a fruit that resembled magma.

Amidst a dozen petals and leaves, a fruit with seven rings of blood-red veins grows.

Meanwhile, countless drops of blood flowed from various troughs around the perimeter, all of which were poured into the clear water pool.

Before long, the clear pool was stained with blood, and the stench of blood filled the noses of Leon and Murong Wan.

However, when the two reached the end of the passage, a white light curtain blocked their path.

Murong Wan tried to attack the light barrier with several powerful attacks, but to no avail. Apart from ripples, the light barrier was not broken at all.

"This fruit is rather strange." Murong Wan's face was extremely grim.

"It's as if it's absorbing the energy of this blood pool, evolving!?"

Murong Wan said solemnly, then continued, "This fruit is definitely extraordinary!"

"That means the Gold and Silver Elders have already entered this place using the key, and they even recognized this fruit."

Leon asked, puzzled.

"Oh, I remember now. This fruit is called the Nine-Striped Fighting Fruit. Many forces should have records of it, but the records are probably not detailed, and may even have misinterpreted the effects of the Nine-Striped Fighting Fruit. Currently, this fruit is evolving into an eight-striped one."

Murong Wan said solemnly.

"So what do we do now? Should we break through this light barrier directly to seize that Nine-Patterned Battle Fruit, or should we leave immediately?" Leon asked.

"It's obviously impossible to seize the Nine-Striped Fighting Fruit unless we both seek death. However, if we want to leave here, we still need to negotiate with that Nine-Striped Fighting Fruit."

Murong Wan nodded and said.

"What's there to discuss? Watch me." After saying that, Leon stepped forward, tore open the light barrier, and then sealed the struggling Nine-Patterned Fighting Fruit into his storage ring.

Then, in an instant, the two figures disappeared into the ruins.

The lotus flower within the ruins was now empty; Leon had already taken the Nine-Striped Fruit, and without it, the lotus began to wither rapidly.

The blood flowing into the blood pool could not sustain the lotus's life. After more than ten minutes, the entire blood pool was devoid of any life, and the lotus in the center of the blood pool turned into withered leaves.

Meanwhile, Leon and Murong Wan appeared in a remote corner of the Black Corner Plain.

"We should be outside the ruins now, right?" Murong Wan asked Leon, puzzled.

“Yes, the ancient aura is gone here, so we are indeed in a corner of the Black Corner Plains.” Leon nodded.

"By the way, are you going to study at Canaan Academy next?"

Murong Wan looked at Leon and asked.

“Hmm…” Leon nodded.

"Then go to Canaan Academy and cultivate diligently. Perhaps we will meet again in Zhongzhou in the future."

Murong Wan nodded and said.

"And what about you?" Leon asked Murong Wan curiously.

"I still need to travel around the Dou Qi Continent," Murong Wan said, shaking her head.

“Then let’s part ways here,” Leon nodded and said.

"Okay, sure." Murong Wan patted Leon on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Immediately, Murong Wan flapped her battle qi wings and flew away into the distance.

After flying for more than ten days following the map, Leon finally crossed the desolate Black Corner Plain and returned to Black Seal City at the foot of the mountains.

Upon returning to Black Seal City, Leon heard news that the Blood Sect's young master had been killed, and all the items auctioned at the high-level auction had been stolen by a mysterious person.

"So fast? Xiao Yan has already gone to Canaan Academy, which means that the time I spent in that ruin made me miss the inner sect selection?"

Leon raised an eyebrow and, after confirming the news several times, shot off toward Canaan Academy.

As dusk approached, a small town came into Leon's view in the distance.

Leon landed on the ground from the sky and walked calmly into the town.

As you slowly approach the town along this lush, earthen road lined with trees, the chaotic atmosphere of the Black Corner Region is truly completely isolated here.

About ten minutes later, Leon stopped at the entrance of the town. He looked up at the plaque above the gate. The name on it was very ordinary and common. If it were in the Black Corner Region, it would be torn down the next day.

"Peace Town"—this is the first town you encounter when entering the vicinity of Canaan Academy from the Black Corner Region.

Standing at the town's entrance, Leon was about to step into the city when he suddenly noticed that the surrounding sounds had become much quieter.

Slightly surprised, I turned my head and saw some people from the Black Corner Region on the road, their faces pale and their ankles trembling as they stared at a large tree not far to the left of the town entrance.

The tree was pitch black, its canopy spreading out in all directions, like claws bared, exuding a faint chill in the afterglow of the setting sun. My gaze slowly swept over the tree.

Among the branches of the tree, some corpses were hanging, swaying and creaking in the breeze.

"finally reached."

Leon smiled faintly and walked straight inside.
