"Oh, young one, you managed to obtain a divine essence. Though this object may be slightly flawed, it is indeed a fine thing! If you don't like it, you may give it to me!"At this moment, the voice of the saintly female ghost, filled with a measure of delight, called out in Benjamin's mind.Hearing this, Benjamin once again gripped the crystal tightly, beginning to examine it carefully. But after looking for a while, he couldn't detect any special function, feeling for a moment like he had fallen into a fog."Ha ha ha, divine essence is the crystallized quintessence of each God, used to gather the force of law within the body. Only after a God falls can their divine essence appear once again in this world. Of course, this divine essence is not complete and might bear scars from battle. But if you absorb it and nurture it with the force of faith, it can be healed in a hundred years, or perhaps a few hundred or even a thousand. Young one, this thing has no use to you; it will perfectly

"Human, take good care of it!"The young lady's voice reached his ear, leaving Benjamin puzzled. He did not understand her purpose. But before he could reply, she turned and rode away on the Big Dragon.Soon, monsters all around were released, rushing out once again.Seeing them, Benjamin felt a chill. He did not dare linger, and quickly said to Young Dragon: "Let's go home!"They fled from Sky-Piercing Tower, Young Dragon at his heels. The ghostly saint returned to Celestial Palace, following Benjamin into the tower.Bang!The moment Benjamin stepped onto the last stair of Sky-Piercing Tower, a loud noise erupted. The barrier shook as though something had struck it, the tower quaking violently.Without looking back, Benjamin rushed into the Sky-Piercing Tower, and the space outside closed up, even the stairs vanishing.Roar!Howl!Monstrous cries continued. But the Sky-Piercing Tower transformed into a beam of light, speeding toward the stars.Though the monsters were powerful, the t

BOOM!One by one, wolves fell like tofu blocks, crushed by the Mighty Bear's claws, their carcasses littering the ground.Meanwhile, the Wolf King remained fixated on the Mighty Bear. It refrained from attacking, adopting a casual stance, merely observing the unfolding chaos alongside its pack.Observing this, the Mighty Bear's rage intensified. It yearned to charge and crush the Wolf King. But the sheer number of wolves was daunting. Even after decimating numerous foes, they kept coming, seemingly aiming to exhaust the bear's energy.Mighty Bear, of course, discerned the Wolf King's strategy — to wear it down before dealing the final blow. Yet, the ripened spirit fruit beckoned. Consuming it promised a tremendous power surge, rendering any strategy by the Wolf King moot. However, reaching the fruit amidst this onslaught seemed an insurmountable task. Hence, all it could do was persevere.All this while, as Benjamin darted through the woods, his visage grew increasingly grim. Despite

"Take another slash of mine!"Seeing the Cobra's gaping mouth approaching, Benjamin didn't hesitate, wielding his blade with a fervor that aimed directly into the creature's maw.A powerful impact ensued. The Giant Cobra was sent sprawling back several meters into the pond. Meanwhile, Benjamin was catapulted to the shore, landing a few meters away from his initial position.But before he could fully gather himself, a white shadow suddenly bolted from a nearby cave. It made a beeline for the White Lotus, intent on snatching it from right under Benjamin and the Cobra's noses.This unforeseen development caught Benjamin off guard. He hadn't expected the Fiery Fox, who had previously fled, to make such a bold return attempt for the Lotus.His heart aflame with indignation, Benjamin roared: "You vile creature! Halt!"Yet the Fiery Fox was a mere blur, darting toward the water. With shrill chitters emanating from its throat, the waters rumbled and every single lotus flower was drawn out, ho

Having spoken his piece, Benjamin's attention drifted to the skies, still quite distant from the looming tower ahead.Thus, he signaled to Young Dragon and Young Naive: "Let’s move quickly to the tower. Home beckons!”For some inexplicable reason, Benjamin felt an unsettling emotion. He yearned to return to the cave and retrieve the spirit water from White Lotus or seek any remaining spirit fruits, but he decided to head swiftly towards the tower.Suddenly, the sky darkened and a torrential downpour enveloped him, catching him off guard. The rain was peculiar, evaporating instantly upon contact, producing a sizzling sound.As he watched his protective aura corroded by the relentless rain, dread consumed Benjamin. He sought shelter in a tree hollow.“Chirp... Chirp!”Young Naive and the two Fiery Foxes huddled together, seemingly apprehensive about the storm. The rain seemed to afflict them too, dampening Benjamin’s spirits even further.Luckily, the rain didn’t last. In a little over
