Chapter 1024: The End (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
"Be careful, cultivators of tribulation are approaching!"
Yu Xiu tapped his wooden staff, and a layer of domain power spread out. Within the snowy expanse of the Ice Snow Palace, flowers, vines, and fruits unexpectedly bloomed. . .
Almost as soon as he was prepared, the countless clouds in the sky were torn apart, revealing a pitch-black city!
Upon this city, the auras of the Immortals were indistinct, clearly indicating they were either External Avatars or had concealed their true appearances.
Perhaps they were even old acquaintances of Yu Xiu and the other Immortals.
"Hand over the Star Essence Liquid!"
The black-robed Immortal leading them spoke, his voice like thunder.
As he spoke, the pitch-black city ominously descended, and streaks of black lightning struck the swirling snow, instantly annihilating countless blizzards.
"Full power attack!"
Yu Xiu, of course, would not agree.
Even if he was a businessman, he would never give up his hope of advancement until he was truly pushed to his limits!
Fang Xi, Xu Qing Xian Ren, Zhang Dan Shi, and the others exchanged glances, each injecting their Immortal-level magic power into the Ice Snow Palace.
As a war artifact, the Ice Snow Palace naturally possessed a unique profoundness. It could fuse the magic power of many Immortals, and its interior had even been refined with special primordial spirit magical restrictions, capable of converting all that magic power into ice and snow laws!
A flash of white light!
The blizzards around the Ice Snow Palace suddenly intensified, and then even transformed into a colossal white dragon.
This dragon was carved entirely from ice crystals, with blood-red eyes, translucent scales, and two long whiskers.
With a furious roar, it violently extended a claw!
Amidst the swirling winds and surging clouds, a massive ice-crystal dragon claw fiercely gripped the pitch-black city, causing the floating city to tremble slightly.
Furthermore, under the influence of the ice and snow laws, a thick layer of white frost covered the city.
"Good! The Ice Snow Palace lives up to its name as Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce's war artifact! But if Your Excellency believes that this artifact alone can make us retreat, then you are truly deluded. . ."
The black-robed Immortal sneered, and the many cultivators of tribulation behind him likewise made their moves.
The pitch-black city roared, and tens of thousands of annihilation bolts rained down!
Crack!
Crack!
The bottom of the city suddenly split open, revealing countless sharp, massive teeth, like the gaping maw of a demon, and it snapped shut!
The ice-snow dragon's claw instantly vanished into the city's giant mouth, and countless ice shards scattered from between its teeth.
Buzz!
The recoil reverberated, causing the expressions of all the Immortals present to change. Xu Qing Xian Ren even spat out a small mouthful of vital blood.
"Is that. . . the End City?"
Yu Xiu seemed to recall something, his eyes changing. "The North Star Immortal Domain, formerly known as the 'Tribulation Immortal Domain', was once controlled by the 'End Demonic Sect'. This sect specialized in cultivating extremely unique laws like destruction, devouring, and doomsday. It's rumored that within its main gate, a total of ninety-nine 'End Cities' were refined, jointly forming the 'Punish, Annihilate, Extinguish, Slaughter' four-layered array. . . No matter how powerful an Immortal entered, they would meet their doom and perish in a tribulation. . ."
"Later, the Dao Monarch of the End Demonic Sect perished during an exploration, and the End Demonic Sect and its many covetous rivals destroyed each other. It's said that in the final great battle, a large number of End Cities fell. . . I didn't expect that these Immortals would unearth one and even repair it!"
To accomplish such a world-shaking feat with no intelligence leaking out.
Clearly, these cultivators of tribulation had long planned to use this "End City" for plunder.
Whoosh!
At this moment, on the End City, the aura of destruction laws condensed, forming numerous pitch-black longswords.
Countless black longswords operated according to specific rules, as if forming an absolute killing sword array.
Sword light rained down, trapping the ice-snow dragon.
Although the ice-snow dragon struggled ceaselessly, each time it was struck by sword light, a piece of ice crystal was pared off its body. It was rapidly turning into a skeletal dragon, about to reveal the Ice Snow Palace within its dragon pearl!
"Things are urgent!"
Yu Xiu's expression drastically changed, knowing that the Ice Snow Palace, which Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce had poured all its effort into creating, was ultimately no match for the End City.
In a short while, it would likely be completely captured.
"I will self-detonate the Ice Snow Palace shortly to break open this destructive sword array. . . If my fellow Daoists trust me, you can enter my spiritual realm. If not, then break out separately!"
Yu Xiu declared.
Upon hearing this, the many Immortals' expressions changed dramatically.
Fang Xi, however, moved his expression slightly and, with a flick of his sleeve, put Fang Xian away.
Immediately after!
The ice-frost giant dragon coiled up violently, and countless ice and snow instantly calmed.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, within the dragon pearl, the Ice Snow Palace disintegrated.
A somewhat illusory ice-snow Dao seed appeared. The surrounding ice-frost power reached an extreme, giving a faint sensation of warmth to the touch.
The black sword array seemed to be frozen by an intense cold, and its operation immediately stalled.
In that instant, several figures burst out from the shattered Ice Snow Palace, breaking through in different directions.
Fang Xi was naturally one of them!
He would never place his own hopes in the hands of others.
Moreover, he was an Earth Immortal, with strength that could barely be ranked among the top three or four Immortals.
Of course, this was how it appeared to outsiders.
"Earth Escape!"
He transformed into a yellowish-brown light, utilizing the Earth Escape technique, and instantly traveled ten thousand li away.
Upon a green mountain.
Fang Xi's yellow-robed figure appeared, then he summoned his "Earth Virtue Sword," which transformed into a yellowish-brown sword light and sped off into the distance.
For an Immortal, this distance was far from safe!
The reason he used the "Earth Virtue Sword" was that this flying sword had been acquired through Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce's channels, its origins were clear, and there was no issue in using it.
Otherwise, with his numerous flying swords, he could easily switch them daily, just for fun!
...
On the End City.
Almost as Fang Xi and the others scattered and fled, the black-robed Immortal's divine sense swept out, and he had already made his decision: "I will take the End City to pursue Yu Xiu. The rest of you, choose your own opponents. . ."
In the intelligence reports, Yu Xiu was the top expert of Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce, and might even be concealing a few other Immortals.Naturally, he, as the strongest combatant, needed to bring the treasure to hold the line.
Furthermore, the most important target – the Star Essence Liquid – was almost certainly on him.
The black-robed Immortal leader naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.
As for the other cultivators of tribulation, they could only rely on their own luck as they pursued the other fleeing Immortals of Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce.
The cultivator of tribulation who chose to pursue Fang Xi was completely shrouded in a dark green robe. As he looked in the direction Fang Xi had departed, a cold sneer appeared on his face.
"Earth Escape technique?"
Although the Five Elements Escape techniques were minor spells, in the hands of Core Formation or Nascent Soul cultivators, they could only travel a few li at a time. In Fang Xi's hands, however, it was a distance of ten thousand li.
The dark green-robed cultivator snorted coldly, forming hand seals and muttering incantations.
From his sleeve, a skeletal green python immediately shot out.
This green python was entirely engulfed in emerald green flames, which burned fiercely yet seemed to possess little heat.
As soon as the green python appeared, it coiled around the dark green-robed cultivator, flicking out its flame-like tongue, appearing very affectionate.
"If I didn't need to conceal my identity, why go through all this trouble?"
The dark green-robed cultivator murmured to himself, then changed his hand seal, forcing a drop of crimson blood from his finger.
An Immortal's blood was naturally extraordinary.
Upon devouring this drop of vital blood, the emerald fire python immediately hissed, swallowed the dark green-robed cultivator, and then plunged into the void, disappearing instantly.
Whoosh!
Fang Xi was flying away on his sword light when a flash of dark green suddenly appeared ahead, revealing an immense emerald green wall of fire that stretched to the heavens!
Hiss, hiss!
A colossal serpent fire spirit emerged, spitting a ball of flame towards him.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xi swung his "Earth Virtue Sword."
This sword was a rare earth-attribute flying sword, heavy and solid.
Its sword light was likewise incredibly condensed, like layers of majestic mountains, instantly forming eighteen peaks that converged into a rock-earth shield.
The emerald green flames landed on the yellowish-brown shield and immediately blazed fiercely.
"Law manifestation?"
A surprised voice rang out, and then a dark green-robed cultivator of tribulation walked out from the wall of fire. "It seems I've indeed caught a big fish today."
"To think you alone can take me down, that's a bit too arrogant. . ."
Fang Xi shook his head and waved his hand casually.
A layer of green light emerged, causing the wall of fire to continuously retreat.
This was not his own divine ability, but rather the power of his main body borrowed through the "All-Heavens Precious Mirror."
"Domain power? Earth Immortal? !"
The dark green-robed cultivator of tribulation seemed to be recalling something. "So, it's that newly promoted Talisman Master Guest Elder of Fengyuan Chamber of Commerce. . . Fang Xi!"
"That would be me. May I ask who you are?"
As Fang Xi manipulated the Earth Virtue Sword, countless overlapping mountain shadows filled the sky, pressing down on the dark green-robed cultivator of tribulation.
"Heh heh. . . Since I'm a cultivator of tribulation, do you think I'd reveal my true identity?"
The dark green-robed cultivator of tribulation sneered and sent a curved hook flying from his sleeve.
This hook had a strange curve, and its back was adorned with scale-like patterns, reminiscent of a viper.
He formed a sword seal with his hand, and the curved hook flew out, instantly transforming into myriad streaks of light.
Clang, clang, clang!
The next moment, the flying hook and the Earth Virtue Sword engaged in a fierce battle in the void, thousands of sword threads weaving and intertwining.
Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.
"My Myriad Serpent Hook?"
The dark green-robed cultivator of tribulation saw a gap appear on his flying hook, which then snapped in two, causing him immense heartache.
But soon, he no longer even had the thought of heartache.
"Five Mountains True Form!"
Fang Xi reached out and grabbed, and in the void, five colossal mountains suddenly appeared, asserting their overwhelming power like Mount Tai pressing down.
The dark green-robed cultivator of tribulation transformed into an escape light and rapidly retreated backward.
Unexpectedly, a sword light flashed, instantly piercing through his body-protecting spiritual light.
Hiss, hiss!
The skeletal giant python coiled around the cultivator of tribulation suddenly lunged out, swept by countless sword lights, and instantly dissipated into a wisp of green smoke.
Not far away, the dark green-robed cultivator of tribulation reappeared, his voice hoarse and sharp: "My spirit pet. . ."
"So it's a secret art of substitution using a spirit pet? Your strength is decent, but unfortunately, you chose me!"
Fang Xi held the Earth Virtue Sword and gently flicked it. The Earth Virtue Sword immediately let out a clear ringing sound, and upon its blade, miniature mountains emerged.
His Mountain Core avatar was naturally attuned to the laws of earth. With a bit of comprehension, he had reached the realm of law manifestation.
Moreover, he was no longer just an Earth Immortal. . .
