Unreliable Sword Immortal.

Chapter 98 Niu Daren and the Spirit Fruit

"This ultimate move, it turns out, is primarily focused on teleportation..."

Lu Chaoding's eyes suddenly lit up.

Although he couldn't learn the Sword God's exclusive [Great Universe Void-Breaking Divine Sword], there were martial arts cannons in the Nut Secret Realm.

There are three martial arts cannons in total. Currently, only the No. 1 cannon is activated and equipped with the skill book of [Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon]. The No. 2 and No. 3 cannons have not been activated yet.

"If I equip this skill book on the Martial Arts Cannon, it will instantly level up twelve levels, which should be incredibly powerful! Moreover, with the assistance of the Great Universe Void-Breaking Divine Sword, I can lure the target into the True Nut Secret Realm, making it possible to defeat the BOSS within the Nut Secret Realm!"

Lu Chao felt a surge of excitement, but he quickly suppressed the urge to equip the [Great Universe Void-Breaking Divine Sword] skill book onto the martial arts cannon.

The time is not right; the Secret Realm of the Universe is about to collapse. We should hurry up and continue to plunder treasures.

At that moment, with a loud crash, the roof of the Great Hall of the Universe collapsed, revealing a large hole. Lu Chao looked in front of him and saw that the three treasure chests had disappeared. He didn't dare to delay and quickly explored the hall. After finding nothing more, he left.

Just as Lu Chaoding left the Universal Palace, a loud crash resounded and the palace collapsed completely. At the same time, several cracks appeared in the ground of the mountaintop plaza, and the entire space seemed to collapse even faster.

Lu Chao looked around and saw a golden light heading towards the back of the mountain. He recognized it as the golden ball of light that Ying Xunhai had spat out.

"There should be some good stuff in the back mountain too!"

Lu Chao immediately mounted the Great Xuan Sword and followed the golden light.

Guided by the golden sphere, Lu Chaoding soon spotted a magnificent flying boat hovering above the Bagua platform.

"That's Ye Cuihua's exquisite flying boat! The sphere of light flew over there too!"

Lu Chaoding's mind stirred, and he quickly came to the airship. He then saw two flustered figures, namely Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua.

They looked as if they had just escaped from somewhere; their clothes were tattered, their faces were covered in dust, and they looked quite disheveled.

When Ye Cuihua saw Lu Chaoding, her face lit up with surprise and joy. Then she cried out urgently, "Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, hurry and get on the flying boat! There's no time! This secret realm is about to collapse!"

At that moment, Lu Chaoding received a system notification: "Ding, a story quest has been triggered. You have discovered Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua, who have been imprisoned by Elder Ying Xunhai. Before the Universe Secret Realm shatters, please escape with Ye Cuihua and Niu Daren. After completing the quest, you will gain the favor of Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua. Please note that you can only leave the Universe Secret Realm by riding the Exquisite Flying Boat!"

"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has activated, updating the tracking mission with altered content: Before the Universe Secret Realm shatters, please escape the Universe Secret Realm with Ye Cuihua and Niu Daren. After completing the mission, you will gain the hatred of Niu Daren and Ye Cuihua."

"Run away together and add to the hatred?"

Lu Chao frowned, thinking to himself whether he should kill the two of them; maybe he could even seize the Linglong Flying Boat.

Just then, the golden orb flew to Niu Daren's side.

Niu Daren stood there dumbfounded, holding a spiritual fruit he had found from who-knows-where, letting the ball of light fly into his brow. Immediately, golden light shone from his body, and a powerful force burst forth from within him, sending Ye Cuihua flying to the side.

Lu Chaoding received another system notification: "Ding, main storyline progresses. The Chaos Sword Spirit left behind by the Grand Elder Ying Xunhai before his fall has discovered Niu Daren. The Chaos Sword Spirit carries most of the Grand Elder's cultivation and some memories. After merging with it, Niu Daren will be promoted to Sword God and his strength will greatly increase!"

"Ding! A story quest has been triggered. Please protect Niu Daren and prevent him from being disturbed by the outside world. Once he has completely merged with the Chaos Sword Spirit, you will gain Niu Daren's favor and receive a Spirit Fruit."

"Ding! The occasionally unreliable system has activated, updating the tracking mission. Please protect Niu Daren and prevent him from being disturbed by the outside world. Once he has completely merged with the Spirit Fruit, you will gain the favor of the Chaos Sword Spirit and obtain a Niu Daren."

"This mission..."

Lu Chaoding's eyes widened when he heard the system notification.

"No, I need to sort this out. How should I do this task?"

Lu Chaoding quickly began to think.

Opposite him, Niu Daren, who was radiating light and exuding a powerful aura, still stood there blankly. Suddenly, the golden ball of light that had been there flew out from between his eyebrows, as if it was extremely unwilling but being pulled backward by some force.

The spirit fruit that Niu Daren was holding in his right hand flew up and then flew towards Niu Daren's brow.

The next moment, the Chaos Sword Spirit landed on Niu Daren's right hand, held by him and unable to move, while the Spirit Fruit drilled straight into his brow.

"What happened? Da Ren, Da Ren, what's wrong?"

Even the burly Ye Cuihua was stunned!

"Go away, go away, I need to merge with the Spirit Fruit... I understand now, I'm not Niu Daren, I'm Dao Zang Kong... Oh no, I'm the Spirit Fruit! I'm the reincarnation of the Spirit Fruit!"

Niu Daren shouted loudly.

Ye Cuihua was even more confused.

Lu Chaoding couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Senior Brother, it seems you have a special affinity for the Spiritual Qi Fruit. Then hurry up and fuse with it!"

He was also very curious about what would happen after Niu Daren fused with the Spirit Fruit.

Next, the spirit fruit actually squeezed into Niu Daren's forehead, and then Niu Daren's face quickly turned blue, then became pear-shaped, and his whole head looked very similar to the spirit fruit.

"Da Ren, Da Ren, what's wrong with you? Da Ren, don't turn into a Spirit Fruit!"

Ye Cuihua reached out to shake Niu Daren, but Lu Chaoding quickly stepped forward, standing between her and Niu Daren, and said, "Senior Sister, Senior Brother's mind is made up. Let him go. You two are destined to be apart!"

He couldn't let Ye Cuihua disturb Niu Daren, as it concerned his mission reward.

"But what about Da Ren?"

"He's fine! He just fused with the spirit fruit!"

"How could he fuse with the Spirit Fruit?"

"Why not? Look, isn't the fusion going very well?"

"But……"

At this point, Ye Cuihua seemed to have gotten stuck in her train of thought. She stood there, looking bewildered, and stopped talking.

Two minutes later, Niu Daren and the Spirit Fruit seemed to have completed their fusion. He had transformed into a Spirit Fruit that was only up to Lu Chao's knees, with hands, feet, facial features, and clothes. He was also holding the Chaos Sword Spirit in his hand.

Lu Chaoding saw his attribute information, which was all garbled text.

"I've found my destiny, and I've transformed from a Sword Demon into a Spirit Fruit..."

Niu Daren, who had merged with the Spirit Fruit, glanced at the grotesque Ye Cuihua and said, "Cuihua, I know your real name is Ye Linglong, and I also know that your current appearance is just a disguise... Forgive me, I have some memories, and my identity does not allow me to stay with you forever... Junior Brother Lu Chaoding, I am going to fight Ye Longxing. After leaving here, I hope you can take Cuihua and escape from Tianxing Island. With this change in the Great Sword Sect, the Tiancong Ye family and other sects should have already sensed it, and their large ships should be coming soon."

After saying this, the serious-looking Ling Qiguo jumped off the exquisite flying boat. He was surprisingly agile, and after several leaps in the air, he disappeared.

The golden ball of light broke free from his hand and flew to Lu Chao's head. Its light intensified, and it transformed into a baby boy in a bib the size of a basketball.

The bib-wearing boy was semi-transparent. He looked at Lu Chaoding and said, "I am the Chaos Sword Spirit, Lu Chaoding. You have gained my favor... I'll give you a Niu Daren!"

"Ding! Mission complete. Congratulations on gaining the favor of the Chaos Sword Spirit! Congratulations on acquiring Niu Daren!"

"Ding! Niu Daren has been automatically installed in your private cave. Please check it out!"
