Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 599 The Enlightening Tree

The punch with the Dragon Battle Technique wasn't an ordinary one. It contained the blood power of the Great Dragon and the enlightening power. The punch was so powerful that the entire Land of Ghosts was lit up by its flashes. The atmosphere was filled with the momentum of a Great Dragon.

"I know how powerful Soar is judging by the momentum of his punch. I believe that he is unbelievable strong like you," Terrence exclaimed. He was surprised to see how powerful Soar was. "You should have a fight with him in the future. Maybe then you'll understand better,” Ricky said with a smile.

Most of the ghosts were killed by the overwhelming strength of Soar's punch as their Souls of Ghost were gathered by Samson one by one.

In order to gather more and more Souls of Ghosts, they deliberately explored the place where they thought other ghosts were more likely to show up.

Just like what Samson had said, the ghosts there weren't very strong. The strongest ghosts they had met were just as strong as a second-class middle spiritual king.

There also wasn't anything special with the area where the ghosts appeared apart from the intense dark power.

So even though they had killed a lot of ghosts, they still had no luck finding the Enlightening Tree. Thus, they began to realize that they had to first find out where the stronger ghosts were residing in order to find the Enlightening Tree.

They had put all their energy into killing ghosts for ten days just so they could obtain more Souls of Ghosts to provide more enlightening energy to the Ghost Tracking Device.

Finally, after the Ghost Tracking Device was infused with hundreds of Souls of Ghosts, it began to shine.

Buzz! Buzz! Its shining light was black. The black iron needle of the compass began to spin. Luckily they still could tell which direction it was trying to point at even though the needle spun so rapidly. "It's finally working!" Samson remarked.

He was excited and worried at the same time. On one hand, he was excited that Ricky's fight with Martin was closely approaching and if Ricky won the battle, he would finally be able to take revenge on Martin for his family.

On the other hand, Samson was worried and also afraid that if Ricky lost in his battle with Martin, he and his sister would probably die as well

However, he still thought it was worth trying to seek revenge even if he would lose his life for it. "Let me see. According to this Ghost Tracking Device, we should walk towards southeast for several thousand miles and then there will be a good chance that we will run into some more powerful ghosts. This also means that we might find the Enlightening Tree there,” Samson said.

"Okay, then. Let's go!" Ricky replied.

They then began to head southeast.

About halfway through their day, they finally reached an area where there were pot holes and dark water everywhere. In the dark water were some rotten skeletons. The dark power could be felt just by looking at them.

They clearly felt all the different kinds of enlightening powers remaining in the skeletons. It was evident that the warriors who had died there were strong spiritual kings before they faced their deaths.

"It's said that the dark water is similar to the water of the Netherworld—the coldest and darkest water in the world. The dark power resting inside the dark water is considerably powerful,” Terrence exclaimed as he looked at the dark water seriously.

"No wonder this area has been called the Land of Ghosts. Only here can the ghosts reside and find what they're looking for.”

"I feel it too, the dark power inside the dark water. It seems that the dark power in this place is much purer and stronger. I can't also help but notice the coldness in the atmosphere,” Ricky nodded.

"The coldness is definitely coming from the dark water. It's said that the water of the Netherworld even has the ability to freeze innate spiritual emperors,” Terrence explained.

"My God! That's truly terrifying,” Soar replied out of shock. Both Ricky and Soar found it hard to believe.

"I read about it in books from the Oriental College. Who knows, I never thought I'd have the opportunity to see if it is true,” Terrence said as he shrugged his shoulders.

"But the elders in my clan said that the dark water in this area wasn't the real dark water. They said that even upper spiritual kings shouldn't be able to survive in the real dark water,” Samson said. "One of my ancestors found the Birthplace of Ghosts but he lost his life due to the real dark water. I'm not sure whether the water here is that same real dark water."

"Okay. We have to be more cautious. The dark water is probably as dangerous as the ghosts and Martin," reminded Ricky.

"Samson, is there a way to know where the center of this area is located?" Ricky asked.

"I think there is. If I was right, we can find what we need by finding the source of the water,” Samson exclaimed.

"I can tell that we're heading in the right direction since the Ghost Tracking Device's signal is getting stronger and stronger.”

Without any hesitation, they walked further. One hour later, they finally saw the source of the dark water. It was a huge lake and it seemed that all the dark water in this area was coming from it. There were thousands of rotten skeletons floating in the lake.

"I think we might already be in hell. If we aren't, then we must be very close!" Terrence exclaimed. "I think I can learn to like it. My Killing Swordsmanship might just be able to reach a higher level here.” "But Terrence, I feel that I have to warn you. All the ghosts here are evil creatures. If you kill them just to enhance your Killing Swordsmanship, I think you better think it through before you make your moves," Ricky warned.

As Terrence's friend, Ricky really didn't want to see him pursuing that kind of swordsmanship. "Ricky, I know what you're worried about. But I, Terrence Feng, promise you that even if I kill for enhancing my Killing Swordsmanship, it could never change who I really am. I'll always have mercy in mind," Terrence replied in a serious tone. He understood Ricky's worries so he decided to make a promise in order to assure him.

“Always have mercy in mind..." Ricky thought to himself. He seemed to have understood Terrence more but at the same time, he also felt more confused about what Terrence had just said.

However, Ricky didn't let himself get too caught up in his conversation with Terrence so just decided to trust him. He believed in Terrence—the killing wouldn't change who Terrence really was. Ricky always thought that constant reminding was something a friend ought to do.

Besides, deep down, Ricky still could feel Terrence’s intent whenever Terrence practiced his sword skill. His intent had always been very pure.

"Hey, look! Is that a tree at the center of the lake?" Soar asked excitedly. "I bet it's the Enlightening Tree. It must be it!"

Everyone looked at the center of the lake after hearing Soar's words.

There was indeed a tree at the center of the lake. It was black and it was in the middle of a thick cloud of dark fog. The fog seemed to be the Dark Enlightenment and the tree was absorbing it.

"It's said that the Enlightening Tree can absorb any kind of enlightening power. It can turn the power it absorbs into pure enlightening and grow Enlightening Fruits. I believe that's the Enlightening Tree," Terrence said excitedly.

"I can't help but picture its Enlightening Fruits in my mind already."
