Chapter 295: Bull Demon (A congratulatory chapter for the Silver Alliance Leader)

Shard World.

Fang Xi's avatar, bearing tattoos and a grim expression, arrived at Black Nirvana City.

"The sacred land within Black Nirvana City. . . possesses Vermilion Fruit tree resources. . ."

With a sweep of his Divine Consciousness, he could see the Wu warriors on the city walls, arrayed as if facing a great enemy, and among them, even a Wu King!

These were subordinates Dan Ya had gradually cultivated over the past century.

"Although the Battle Glyph system has its flaws, its progress is astonishingly fast. Within a century, Dan Ya managed to cultivate several Wu Kings. . . It's precisely because of this that the Wu people within this mystic realm can be harvested like leeks, one crop after another. . ."

Fang Xi assessed Black Nirvana City's strength but did not make a move.

"Dan Ya's own strength, apart from the Battle Glyph system, has also reached the mid-stage of Core Formation on the immortal path. . ."

"Vermilion Fruits of several hundred years lose much of their efficacy after one reaches mid-stage Core Formation, let alone when they are eaten raw. . . Moreover, this mystic realm lacks resources to increase the magic power of Core Formation cultivators, as it's primarily meant for Foundation Establishment disciples. . . And furthermore, this woman cannot obtain those top-tier resources."

These top-tier resources, honored as sacred trees within the sacred land, bloom only once every century, and Dan Ya and the other Wu Kings typically can't get their hands on them.

Fang Xi silently estimated Dan Ya's side's strength.

"One mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, two to three Wu Kings. . . this is already stronger than the Five Elements Tribe of yesteryear, isn't it?"

"As expected, I've truly fattened them up. . ."

"If I were to force my way in now, it wouldn't be impossible, but it would be easy for others to reap the benefits of my struggle. . ."

"It's better to wait a bit first."

With this thought, Fang Xi continuously chanted incantations, and his entire being transformed into a streak of green light, nearly merging with an ancient tree at the edge of Black Nirvana City.

This was a top-tier aura concealment spell recorded in the 'Withered Glory Chant'.

Once cast, even a cultivator one minor realm above Fang Xi would be unable to discover him.

Cultivators generally possessed excellent patience.

And Fang Xi only waited two days before a change occurred.

...

Dozens of miles outside Black Nirvana City, several streaks of dark escape light, riding on rolling black clouds, approached.

"Haha. . . my luck is quite good this time. I was actually teleported nearby, which means I've taken the lead!"

Within the black clouds stood a burly man over two meters tall.

He had rugged features, eyes as large as copper bells, and his bare upper body revealed knotted muscles.

More critically, two pitch-black ox horns actually grew from his head!

Although his aura was only around the Perfected Foundation Establishment stage, the strength of his physique was almost the greatest Fang Xi had ever seen among cultivators!

Even an ordinary immortal Core Formation cultivator would be far inferior.

"Senior Brother Niu, less talk. . ."

Beside the burly man were two other figures.

One of them wore a black robe, with disheveled hair, and held a black banner, exuding a sinister aura.

The other was an enchanting woman, clad in pitiably few strips of cloth that revealed large swathes of skin inviting alluring fantasies, her body wreathed in a circle of radiant light. At the Yu Zhen acupoint behind her head, a pink, crystalline pill floated up and down.

"Indeed. . . regardless of how the merits are divided later, securing that female slave first is paramount. For the three of us to coincidentally be teleported nearby, if we were to let later senior and junior brothers steal this great achievement, that would truly be a colossal joke. . ."

The charming woman said with a giggle.

Although all three had auras around the Perfected Foundation Establishment stage, they all gave Fang Xi a sense of danger; they undoubtedly possessed Core Formation level combat power!

‘A Demonic Body Cultivator. . . Well, I'll be! ’

Upon seeing the ox-horned burly man, Fang Xi's eyes immediately lit up: "The materials for the 'Black Fire Demonic Corpse' have been found. . ."

This person cultivated a demonic body cultivation divine ability. Not only was his physical strength comparable to Core Formation, but he must have also awakened some kind of physical divine ability, making him far stronger than any Martial Immortal.

‘Even an ordinary Core Formation cultivator, as long as they aren't a body cultivator. . . won't have a particularly strong physique, perhaps only comparable to an ordinary Foundation Establishment body cultivator. . . ’

The reason Core Formation cultivators, even without cultivating their bodies, can still have physiques comparable to Foundation Establishment body cultivators is naturally because breakthroughs to major cultivation realms require demands on essence, qi, and spirit in all aspects.

Even if they primarily focus on cultivating magic power, as long as they break through a major realm, there will be a certain increase in their physique and Divine Consciousness.

Over time, this accumulation also becomes quite significant.

In other words, if one had deficiencies in their physique, it would have been unlikely to break through to a major realm in the first place.

‘Pity. . . ultimately, it's still a bit lacking. For example, Lu Qing, if he had also cultivated his body to the seventh level of body cultivation. . . then he would probably have been dug up by the Green Wood Sect long ago, and they would have gone to great lengths to refine him into a third-order refined corpse to suppress the sect's destiny. . . ’

...

"That's true. . ."

The black-robed cultivator shook his black banner, and a layer of grayish mist spurted forth from the small banner, from which numerous shadowy figures vaguely emerged.

Standing prominently in the midst of the figures was a red-haired ghost king, emitting terrifying Core Formation-level magic power fluctuations.

As the black-robed cultivator chanted secret incantations, the red-haired ghost king suddenly roared and charged into Black Nirvana City.

Swoosh!

One Great Wu after another watched, faces still etched with astonishment, as their bodies were severed from somewhere, neatly split into two halves. In the void, blood beads slowly clung to it, a truly bizarre sight.

Only Core Formation cultivators could see hair-thin red lines coiling around the ghost king's body, incomparably sharp. Not to mention the bodies of Great Wu and Wu people, even magical artifacts and spirit artifacts could be easily sliced open.

"Red-Haired Heavenly Ghost?"

The charming woman seemed somewhat surprised as she covered her red lips: "I didn't expect Junior Brother to actually master such a divine ability. . . These 'Ghost Yin Hair Strands' of the Red-Haired Heavenly Ghost are a notoriously malicious divine ability; even Core Formation cultivators would find them a huge headache."

"Hehe. . . if I didn't have some third-order methods, how would I dare venture into this mystic realm?"

The black-robed cultivator sneered several times, his hand seals changing once more.

The red-haired ghost king shook its head, and subtle red lines, as if forming a colossal cocoon, trapped the Wu King within: "As long as I drink this person's essence blood, my Red-Haired Heavenly Ghost will surely advance another level. . . This is truly a treasure land for us, haha. . ."

Just at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A sharp howl came from within Black Nirvana City, accompanied by a streak of dark black light.

Pffft!

The dark black light was like a pitch-black crescent, slashing across the crimson blood cocoon.

The blood-red cocoon split open from the middle, and a figure, in a sorry state, escaped from it – it was precisely that Wu King.

Only, at this moment, the opponent appeared incredibly miserable, profusely bleeding, half of his face shriveled as if a large amount of his flesh and blood had been drained away.

The Wu King, glaring resentfully at the trio, immediately flew backward to rendezvous with Dan Ya, who had come to support him.

And behind Dan Ya, a male and a female Wu King also followed!

"The main target has appeared. . . As expected, it's not a Treasure Glyph, but a Demonic Core Formation cultivator, and even a mid-stage Core Formation one!"

The charming woman's pupils contracted: "There are two more helpers; this mission is still a bit troublesome. . ."

"If it weren't difficult, how would it be worth a great merit?"

The ox-horned burly man's eyes were slightly crimson as he roared: "Attack!"

Amidst his roar, his muscles swelled, and his figure actually grew taller once more, transforming into a small giant three to four meters tall!

Not only that, but wisps of demonic qi also adhered to his body, forming a black and red demonic armor!

In an instant, he seemed to transform into an ancient general wearing an ox-horned helmet!

"All Wu, heed my command!"

"Unite your efforts and overcome this demonic calamity together!"

Dan Ya pinched a talisman between two fingers, precisely the 'Immortal Slaying Treasure Talisman'. Terrifying demonic power infused into it, and the talisman was instantly activated!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A sword light piercing the heavens and earth flashed, cleaving directly onto the ox-horned burly man.

The ox-horned burly man, however, sneered, and fiercely threw a punch.

Roar! Roar!

Behind him, the spectral image of a wild ox seemed to appear, charging forward with its pitch-black horns!

Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

That indestructible Immortal Slaying Sword Qi was actually shattered by a single punch from the ox-horned burly man!

The wisps of scattered sword light that fell upon him were entirely blocked by the black and red armor, emitting crisp clangs of metal on metal!

It seemed as though this 'Immortal Slaying Treasure Talisman' had virtually no effect on him.

Witnessing this scene, the expressions of the three Great Wu Kings behind Dan Ya couldn't help but turn incredibly grim.

They were well aware of the might of talismans, but today, however. . .

In an instant, the heavy gloom of the demonic calamity surfaced in everyone's hearts.

"Haha, again!"

The ox-horned burly man roared, stomped heavily on the ground, and then slammed through the city wall, directly charging into the city.

Seeing this, Dan Ya could only form hand seals with both hands, causing streaks of black and red demonic light to appear around her, moving to stop the ox-horned burly man's wanton slaughter.

"Good. . . while Senior Brother Niu holds that female slave, we'll deal with the remaining three, and then we can easily capture this woman. . ."

The charming female cultivator smiled radiantly, and the External Core behind her Yu Zhen acupoint erupted with intense light, amplifying her magic power and causing her cultivation to surge to the early Core Formation level.

The black-robed cultivator also shook his small black banner, commanding the red-haired ghost king to block those Wu Kings.

In an instant, pink mist permeated the sky, accompanied by bursts of ghostly laughter, trapping all three Great Wu Kings within.

...

Beside an ancient tree, purple light flickered in Fang Xi's eyes as he calmly observed the battle.

‘These three Foundation Establishment cultivators possess strength surpassing any cultivator of the same realm in the three countries. . . The foundation of this demonic sect is truly extraordinary. ’

‘Among them, the ox-horned burly man seems to be the strongest! His physique, in fact. . . even surpasses that demonic dragon body cultivator from last time. ’

Fang Xi didn't know that this ox-horned burly man was different from Senior Brother Ma before. The body cultivation he practiced used the essence blood of another kind of 'Great Strength Ox Demon'.

Although the Great Strength Ox Demon's profound transformations were not as varied as those of flood dragons, it was robust and possessed immense strength, along with some unique divine abilities.

Using this essence blood for body cultivation, his defensive power not only surpassed ordinary body cultivators by a significant margin, but he could even fearlessly engage in a prolonged fight with a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.

‘This person will have no problem tying down Dan Ya. Once those three Great Wu Kings perish. . . Dan Ya will be in danger. . . This is also my doing, after all, back then I only passed on the cultivation method, holding back most of the secret arts and artifact refinement methods. . . ’

Fang Xi took a deep breath.

The next moment, a green light flashed.

It was none other than his Wood Escape Art, using the ubiquitous flora within the city to secretly infiltrate the Wu people's sacred land!
