Just as the outside world was stirred by the incident of the tree's heart, Fade, who was swallowed by the tree's heart was finally awake. Upon waking up, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and all over his body, like he was being stabbed multiple times.

With every slight movement, his entire body felt like it was tearing apart. He felt like he was about to pass out and die from the pain. Withstanding the pain, he slowly sat up.

After sitting up, he realised that he was lying on a thin layer of pale green liquid.

The liquid contained a rich amount of spiritual energy. With a breath, he felt the energy surge through his meridians and organs, as they started to rush forward.

"With such strong spiritual energy, what on earth is this tree's heart?" He thought to himself as he prepared to absorb the liquid and sit in cultivation.

However, at this moment, he felt a tearing pain in his meridians, as if he had drunk a bottle of sulfuric acid. It was as if his viscera and guts had all been corroded by corrosive liquid. "What... What's going on?" Enduring the intense pain, Fade hurriedly ran his positive energy and pushed out the spiritual energy that was absorbed. Only then did the pain subside. "This liquid, it's extremely corrosive!" He lowered his head and looked at the pale green liquid below him, his heart still fluttering with fear.

This time, he managed to stand up and look at his surroundings.

A layer of drizzling mist made it hard to picture what was beyond this space.

In the air of the surroundings, leaves and branches never stopped swirling, as well as the flashing lightning in them.

The lightning never stopped hitting his body, which caused the initial wounds on his body to worsen.

Even when he breathed, he felt a light and burning pain. Soon, he found the reason behind it.

The air here was filled with the same spiritual energy as the pale green liquid. While breathing, he carelessly inhaled the spiritual energy, which caused his meridians and internal organs to be corroded. He then immediately exerted positive energy outwards to dispel the spiritual energy. After doing so, he felt better.

However, not long after, Fade fell weakly to the ground.

That was because he didn't have much positive energy left in his body. As he removed the corrosive properties from his body using his positive energy, he had practically used up all of his positive energy. Moreover, in this place, since the air was diffused with corrosive properties and he couldn't not breathe, he was also unable to escape the spiritual energy.

Even though the spiritual energy in the air was not as strong, as time passed, his internal organs would definitely be corroded by the corrosive properties. Moreover, with the surrounding flashes of lightning, he, who was trapped here, was just as good as dead.

He struggled to get up and looked around for an exit, but he found nothing. Except for the white mist, there was nothing else. He was not able to leave.

"Am I really going to die here?" He fell onto the ground and felt an unprecedented sense of despair.

Just as the weakened Fade was about to faint, he suddenly felt a ball of green mist floating closer towards him.

As he turned around with much difficulty, he realized that amidst the ball of green mist, there was a palm-sized bud emitting green light.

The bud continued to emit bits of green mist and spread it into the air. Some areas where the mist was dense began to slowly gather and descend, forming a pool of pale green liquid.

"Is the corrosive spiritual energy coming from that small bud?" He thought to himself.

"The bud is drifting over. Am I going to die?" He looked at the bud that was coming closer, and from the depths of his heart, despair started to rise.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that there was a ball of green light emitting from his body too.

"What's going on?" He looked at it

and reached in for it. He realized that

the light was apparently coming

from the fruit core that Aldred had

given to him in the cabin behind

Tianwu Mountain.

Upon taking out the fruit core, the green light on it became more distinct. The floating bud seemed to have sensed something and increased its speed in floating over.

Ultimately, the fruit core in Fade's

hand floated up and flew to the tender bud. The two mixed together and emitted a thick green light. Raindrops of spiritual energy alike started to spread around and turned the whole space into a water curtain cave.

However, Fade did not dare to enjoy the rich spiritual energy. He quickly held his breath and tried to avoid being contaminated by the raindrops.

However, there wasn't anything in this space that was able to block it, so he had no choice but to face it head-on.

As the green raindrops fell upon

Fade's body, he felt the strong spiritual energy coming from it, the corrosive properties soon

followed suit. This caused by net

black spots on his skin, which soon turned into small holes.

"If this continues, I will melt." He was worried.

At this moment, the fused bud was emitting a green light as it floated in front of him.

Looking at the dense green mist, he felt a strange attraction. For a moment, he had an impulse to swallow the bud.

"The corrosive spiritual energy is produced by this small bud. By swallowing the bud directly, I will soon become a pool of pus!" His rational thoughts suppressed his desire.

However, then, doubts came to his mind again. "Why did the fruit core that old man left for me connect to the heart of the Prohibition Tree, and even have them fused together? "The old man will not harm me. The fruit core he left for me definitely has some use. However, this bud is too corrosive. It's extremely dangerous!"

While he was hesitating, the dense raindrops were still falling. Fade's skin was riddled with wounds, and his flesh and blood had begun to corrode and melt. The heart-wrenching pain kept on corroding his nerves.

Looking at the green bud, he felt as if it was a whirlpool. It kept on attracting his attention and tried to pull him in.

Gritting his teeth, he abruptly made up his mind. "I will die anyway. I might as well take the risk. Maybe I'll have a chance."

After making up his mind, he grabbed the bud without hesitation, put it into his mouth, and swallowed it immediately.

Without chewing onto it, the bud entered his mouth and instantly turned into a stream of cold liquid which flowed into his stomach.

Then, Fade felt a cold breeze moving throughout his internal organs.

His meridians, bones, flesh, blood, and internal organs all started to wriggle. Waves of spiritual energy were rapidly coursing throughout his body.

His entire body seemed to have turned into a large furnace, and all kinds of aura were continuously clashing against each other.

The intense pain kept coming, which caused him to constantly alternate between fainting because of pain and waking from it.

He didn't know how much time had passed. As he was about to go numb, his consciousness returned, and he slowly opened his eyes.
