Chapter 338: Exorcism (Requesting Monthly Votes)
"I've been waiting for you!"
Seeing the black-armored figure launch its sudden attack, a cold smirk unexpectedly appeared on Fang Xi's face, which had just been filled with confusion.
The next moment, his face transformed into a dark, ghastly green-black shade, fangs emerged, and his five fingers clenched together, forming a fist!
Boom!
Behind him, a towering demonic shadow emerged, mirroring his movements.
Divine Ability: Dharma Manifestation!
This was a terrifying divine ability that only body cultivators who had cultivated their physical bodies to the extreme and refined numerous heavenly treasures and earthly wonders had a certain chance of manifesting!
With a single punch, Fang Xi felt that even a small mountain would be smashed to pieces by his 'Six Desires Heaven-Mixing Demon' form and his powerful physique, comparable to a late-stage Core Formation cultivator!
Bang!
Almost without any surprise, the protective treasure light around the black-armored figure shattered first, followed by the sharp claws on its gauntlets, its arms, its armor, and then half of its body. . .
With just one punch, this suddenly appearing eerie figure had half its body blasted away by Fang Xi.
"Damn it. . . I went a bit overboard. I didn't expect this enemy with such bizarre methods to be so. . . fragile? !"
Just as Fang Xi reacted, his Divine Consciousness swept past, only to find that the black-armored figure had mysteriously vanished, not even its remains were visible. His heart couldn't help but seize up.
Pfft!
The next moment, a streak of dark light landed behind his back, tearing his Daoist robe and revealing his dark, ghastly green-black demonic torso.
Fang Xi turned around, only to see the mysterious black-armored figure from before.
However, this time, the opponent, even its jet-black armor, appeared completely unharmed.
"Interesting. . . It doesn't seem to be a Core Formation ancestor."
An expression of keen interest appeared at the corner of Fang Xi's mouth. He suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a streaking light flew out, transforming into an eerie small white bone banner in mid-air—the Three Yin White Bone Banner!
Under the activation of his spell arts, this magic treasure's entire body flickered with light, innumerable runes lit up in alternation, and strands of black qi converged, transforming into a strange bird whose feathers seemed to be made of countless insects.
Screech!
The strange bird let out a few screeches, then flapped its wings and pounced towards the black-armored figure!
The black-armored figure formed hand seals with both hands, the runes on its armor instantly brightened, transforming into a giant jet-black light barrier.
The strange bird pounced onto the light barrier, emitting all sorts of ear-piercing sounds.
"Who exactly are you?"
Fang Xi snorted coldly, asking loudly.
But the black-armored figure was devoid of emotion; only the red light beneath its faceplate flickered continuously, fluctuating in intensity.
"A third-order puppet? No. . . this feeling. . . I need to confirm it again."
Fang Xi fiercely formed hand seals with both hands.
The strange bird let out a mournful cry, then suddenly exploded, transforming into countless wriggling jet-black insects that landed on the protective light barrier.
The innumerable jet-black insects instantly turned to ash, and at the same time, the black-armored figure's defensive light barrier began to flicker unsteadily.
Crack!
Finally, accompanied by a crisp cracking sound, the black light barrier suddenly disintegrated.
Fine, jet-black insects fell like a rain of drops, many directly burrowing into the black-armored figure's body.
This was a malevolent restriction within the Three Yin White Bone Banner.
But at this moment, after enduring the jet-black insects entering its body, the black-armored figure seemed to have no change whatsoever.
No!
Beneath the black-armored figure's armor, one black bulge after another swelled up.
Bang bang bang!
Then, a series of explosions rang out, and the black-armored figure seemed to be detonated from within, blown into pieces. . .
Streaks of black qi dispersed, but in an instant, they re-condensed, forming the black-armored figure once more.
"Indeed. . . it's not human!"
Fang Xi, seeing this scene, suddenly sighed: "Rather. . . it's a Core Formation-level devil. . . To be able to subdue a devil and make it one's own, this method. . . even feels somewhat familiar to me."
During the battle, he had actually been constantly interfered with by the opponent.
However, for Fang Xi, who cultivated the 'Devil-Drawing Art', this kind of harassment from external devils was far inferior compared to heart demon trials.
His figure flickered, surprisingly transforming into a streak of dark-black light, shooting straight towards the black-armored figure.
The black-armored figure remained silent, suddenly forming a hand seal with one hand, and streaks of jet-black chains appeared from the void, falling upon Fang Xi.
"Mere demonic qi chains. . ."
Fang Xi tore with both hands, and innumerable iron chains snapped one after another, as he arrived before the black-armored figure.
The black-armored figure retreated violently, its movement technique was dreamlike and illusory.
But Fang Xi had already achieved his goal.
A hint of a smile appeared on his face. He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a jet-black streaking light!
Within the streaking light was an oddly shaped pill, or rather—a 'Heavenly Demon Sarira'!
The Golden Cores of cultivators can be directly spat out to attack, just like demon cores, and their power is extraordinarily immense.
Pfft!
The black streaking light directly pierced through the black-armored figure's illusory light armor, leaving a huge hole in its chest.
The next moment, a profound black flame actually ignited on the black-armored figure's body.
In the blink of an eye, the black-armored figure turned to ash.
The Heavenly Demon Sarira let out a roar, and surprisingly began to absorb the black qi that formed after the black-armored figure's death. Only after all the black qi had been completely devoured was it retrieved by Fang Xi with great satisfaction.
"Heavenly Demon Sarira. . . As expected, it severely suppressed this devil. No wonder it had been itching to act earlier."
"No, after being killed by the Heavenly Demon Sarira, this devil could no longer recover. . . And the Heavenly Demon Sarira absorbing the demonic qi even made me feel as if my magic power had greatly increased. . . Could there be some connection between this devil and the Heavenly Demon Sarira?"
Fang Xi's expression turned gloomy. If any other Core Formation cultivator had encountered this Core Formation devil, they would have certainly been thrown into a panic, or even directly killed.
As it turned out, it encountered his 'Heavenly Demon Sarira', and seemed to be completely suppressed.
"Devil-Taming Art. . . Could it be that this is a spell art that the Heavenly Demon Sarira can cultivate?"
"Indeed, the Daoist scriptures I collected are merely incomplete fragments. After condensing the 'Heavenly Demon Sarira', it seems there's still great potential. . . This devil must have been refined and commanded by a cultivator who had condensed a Heavenly Demon Sarira!"
"Things are getting interesting."
Fang Xi stroked his chin, then let out a light chuckle: "Dare to ambush me? You'd best be prepared for retaliation. . ."
Before his words had even faded, his figure abruptly vanished into the void. . .
...
Myriad Transformations Mystic Realm.
"You. . . you're actually the Dao Palace. . . remnants!"
Huaxinzi, pierced through by streaks of demonic light, struggled to utter a sentence.
"Remnants? !"
A young man, wearing a Daoist robe with delicate features like a woman, heard this. A black light instantly flashed in his eyes.
His right hand was covered in a layer of jet-black demonic light. It suddenly shot out like lightning, plunging directly into Huaxinzi's Dantian Qi Sea and snatching out a five-colored flowing Golden Core.
Ignoring the other party's wails, he merely wiped the 'Five Qi Rotation Pill' clean before placing it into a jade box and carefully putting it away. "You mere servants and lackeys. . . you were just dogs taken in by my master back then! When my master had a mishap in his cultivation, you dared to kick him when he was down and then establish your own sects. . . You even dared to put a bounty on me, the Young Palace Lord! Who, exactly, are the remnants here? !"
Huaxinzi was already speechless, blood and tears streamed from his features.
Around the two of them, a terrifying formation churned, innumerable black lights shot into the sky, and around them lay numerous corpses of Core Formation cultivators, most of them dismembered. . .
"This was a rare opportunity, and you still dared to exploit the Myriad Transformations Mystic Realm? This mystic realm. . . this Young Palace Lord is far more familiar with it than you all."
A faint smile appeared on the Young Palace Lord's effeminate face: "The Five Qi Rotation and Yellow Springs Heavenly Ghost. . . I've almost gathered enough. Once I kill that old fossil and get another 'Boundless Sea of Blood Pill', it will be even better. . ."
Just then, his face suddenly paled, and he violently spat out a mouthful of vital blood.
"Young Palace Lord? !"
A Core Formation True Person immediately stepped forward from the side, appearing to be Kun Zhenren. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. . . The Core Formation devil that I controlled with the Heavenly Demon Sarira was completely annihilated by someone, so I lost a bit of vital energy. . ."
The Young Palace Lord took out a plain white handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth.
"Even the Heart Nightmare Divine General. . ."
Kun Zhenren was suddenly filled with dread.
He knew what the Young Palace Lord had sent the Heart Nightmare Divine General to do, and he never expected it to be completely annihilated. . .
One must know that a Core Formation-level devil was almost immune to most spell arts and divine ability attacks, gathered and dispersed unpredictably, and was practically immortal!
'Could it be that Qing Muzi possesses some devil-slaying supreme treasure? '
Kun Zhenren thought to himself.
"Since things have come to this, further thought is useless. . . First, let's completely annihilate all the Golden Cores within the grand formation, then we'll get the Boundless Sea of Blood Pill and the White Bone Relic."
The Young Palace Lord let out a fierce shout, forming hand seals with both hands.
The demonic formation instantly roared. Within the mist, many indistinct devils appeared.
In a certain void space within the formation.
A colossal monster, gigantic in size and seemingly composed of countless white bones, extended sixteen arms, supporting the surrounding void.
Streaks of jet-black lightning and raging flames. . . struck the towering body of the White Bone Hercules Demonic God, yet could only leave a faint mark.
"White Bone True Person, how much longer can your White Bone Hercules Demonic God hold on?"
At the feet of the demonic god, a few Core Formation cultivators were struggling fiercely.
One True Person finally regained composure: "Now that the Dao Palace remnants have returned. . . a great calamity has truly descended from the heavens. . . We should all work together with one heart to overcome this crisis!"
"Precisely. . ."
Hua Feiye nodded in agreement. Even amidst such a life-and-death crisis, her expression remained placid, like a stone.
It was precisely because of this that she successfully evaded the Young Palace Lord's first wave of attacks after activating the demonic formation.
Under that sneak attack, all the True Persons and Daoist Immortals suffered heavy losses.
Now, only a handful remained.
If these few were also annihilated here, then the Young Palace Lord outside would unify the world and re-establish the Dao Palace's glory.
Among these True Persons, one had the strangest expression—it was Yu Hua!
He had formed his Core by devouring other cultivators' Dao foundations, progressing extremely quickly. At this moment, he had actually condensed a 'Boundless Sea of Blood Pill'!
If he had diligently cultivated his magic power to condense this pill himself, Yu Hua would have needed at least several years of arduous effort.
But after consuming several 'Earth Origin Fruits', it was equivalent to seizing the efforts of others, achieving it in an instant.
Yu Hua's face was now filled with terror: "I never expected. . . that everything going smoothly for me in the mystic realm was actually due to that Young Palace Lord secretly assisting me. . . and his true purpose was actually for my 'Boundless Sea of Blood Pill'!"
