Struggle [5]
In the hours it took Damien to climb to the point he reached, the battles around the Primordial Undying Tree never stopped.
Corpses of geniuses that were once hailed as the supremes in the younger generation littered the ground around the tree, while those who survived stood within its crown.
The final victors had already been decided.
When Ruyue killed the 4th-ranked genius, none dared to oppose her anymore, and she was able to quickly get her hands on a green fruit.
The problem stemmed from when she attempted to take a second one for herself. She naturally met fierce resistance for attempting to hoard the treasures, but none of those who tried to stop her had the ability to do so.
After all, Lunaria had acquired the fruit she came for easily, and Feng Qing'er had done the same after stepping over the corpse of the 6th-rank genius, Peng Xiaoyan.
At some point without anyone's recognition, the 5th green fruit had been stolen by Qing Tan.
