Chapter 339: Black and White (Please subscribe)
Yu Hua couldn't help but recall how, before, he had struggled bitterly within the mystic realm, merely to obtain the 'Skinning Chant'.
He never expected that after obtaining an opportunity at the Myriad Transformations Jade Wall, things would spiral out of control.
He even smoothly fought his way to the end, acquiring an 'Earth Core Pill'.
Furthermore, guided by a mysterious voice, he ambushed other Core Formation seeds to seize their 'Earth Core Pills'. . .
Ultimately, he successfully achieved Core Formation Perfection, but everything that followed completely exceeded his expectations.
When a group of Core Formation True Persons furiously charged into the mystic realm, that Young Palace Lord and his cohorts suddenly appeared, activating a formidable formation that sought to sweep everyone away in one fell swoop!
"So. . . I was merely a pawn."
"If only I hadn't. . ."
Having witnessed the Young Palace Lord's attack, Yu Hua's heart turned cold.
Another Core Formation True Person shook his head and sighed, his face full of dejection: "That damned old fellow. . . he left a hidden trick within the secret art back then. We are utterly powerless against that Young Palace Lord; even Fellow Daoist Huaxinzi fell."
"No. . . The Palace Lord's teachings back then held no hidden vulnerabilities."
Hua Fei Ye still replied indifferently: "He merely omitted a crucial secret – that those who did not form their Golden Cores naturally would be easily subdued when facing a direct descendant of the Palace Lord. . . White Bone True Person, however, formed his Golden Core by himself. That is why this White Bone Herculean Fiend remains unaffected by the Young Palace Lord's secret technique, protecting us to this very moment. . . '"
"What? There's such a secret? !"
Many Core Formation True Persons paled in shock.
Even Yu Hua felt a surge of secret regret: "So, there's such a hidden danger if one doesn't form their Golden Core naturally? But. . . the path to heaven was right before us, and it was so fast to achieve. Who would be willing to painstakingly cultivate for a hundred years just to form a Golden Core?"
Everyone involuntarily looked at White Bone True Person.
White Bone True Person slowly nodded: "This matter. . . this old man does indeed know a thing or two. However, it wasn't because I knew of this hidden vulnerability back then, but rather because I had no White Bone Relic to devour, so I could only painstakingly form one myself. . ."
Just as the various Golden Core cultivators were filled with vexation, someone suddenly cried out, "Not good. . ."
They saw countless demonic entities emerge from the surrounding void, collectively emitting soul-shaking shrieks.
"This formation has changed again. . ."
An invisible immense force seemed to fall upon the sixteen-armed White Bone Herculean Fiend, causing its demonic bones to emit overburdened cracking sounds.
Subsequently, the white bones cracked inch by inch, turning into ash.
Only a grayish-white bone pellet, emitting a faint white glow, was swallowed by White Bone True Person. "Everyone. . . prepare to fight for your lives!"
...
Outside the Myriad Transformations Mystic Realm.
"The Young Palace Lord is mighty! I fear it won't be long before his grand endeavor is complete, and we shall reign over the world once more, haha. . ."
Elder Bai held a formation flag, his face beaming with joy.
Elder Hei, however, was somewhat perplexed: "The Young Palace Lord still has too few personnel. . . Why not summon us inside?"
"When the Old Master constructed this Myriad Transformations Mystic Realm back then, he mentioned to me. . . that within the mystic realm lies a 'Demon Transformation Formation', incredibly potent, and it's divided into a Yin and Yang dual formation!"
Elder Bai laughed: "The Yin formation is inside, while the Yang formation is outside the mystic realm. . . As long as we guard the entrance well and watch the formation's core, none of those Core Formation cultivators inside will be able to escape. . . When the Young Palace Lord's demonic art reaches grand completion, the Dao Palace's might will naturally be restored."
"The Old Master. . ."
Upon mentioning the former Yama Demon Palace Master, even Elder Hei fell silent.
But just then, the formation around them suddenly rumbled, and streaks of black rune seals appeared.
BLAZE!
A pitch-black wall of fire appeared around the two, revealing that the defensive restriction had been automatically triggered!
Only then did the two Elders, Hei and Bai, discover with horror that a semi-transparent figure had already penetrated deep into the formation, lurking right beside them!
'Indeed. . . For a third-tier formation master to penetrate this far before being discovered, this is already the limit. '
'Next. . . it's a head-on fight! '
Fang Xi's figure materialized, and a flash of light in his hand revealed a third-tier talisman, none other than the 'Earth-Shaking Talisman'!
He infused spiritual power into the treasure talisman and threw it forward!
RUMBLE!
A hundred-zhang yellow radiance appeared, like a giant earth-yellow dragon, roaring as it plunged into the ground.
Immediately after, the earth shook and mountains swayed, as if an earth dragon had turned over, and the ground split apart. The original formation was also affected, becoming riddled with holes.
More than half of the surrounding formation's restrictions instantly dissipated.
Seizing this opportunity, Fang Xi immediately conjured a demonic banner.
This demonic banner fluttered in the wind, instantly transforming to several zhang in size. From its surface, a red-haired ghost king leaped down, pouncing towards Elder Hei.
Meanwhile, a white bone sword flew out in an instant, drawing a ghastly white sword light over ten zhang long, carrying a chilling intent as it heavily struck Elder Bai!
"It's you? !"
Seeing Fang Xi's face, the two Elders, Hei and Bai, were filled with both shock and rage.
They never would have imagined that the fellow, whom the Young Palace Lord had sent the 'Heart Demon Divine General' to hunt down—who should have fled a thousand li even if he survived—would actually dare to counter-attack and come knocking on their door!
Elder Hei's entire body erupted in a layer of pitch-black mist, his figure appearing and disappearing faintly, causing the red-haired ghost king to pounce at empty air.
Compared to Elder Hei, Elder Bai was slightly more discomfited. He propped himself up with both hands, and patterns emerged on his magical robe, erupting in five-colored radiance that entangled with the sword light.
BOOM!
The colossal sword light dissipated inch by inch, and Elder Bai also flew into the air, standing shoulder to shoulder with Elder Hei, though his wide sleeves were riddled with holes.
"This person is indeed tricky; we must join forces."
Elder Bai glanced at Fang Xi apprehensively, then opened his mouth and spat out a white light, which was astonishingly a white pill!
Elder Hei likewise formed a hand seal, and a black Golden Core flew out.
The two Golden Cores revolved around each other in mid-air, subtly forming a Taiji pattern.
"Black and White Impermanence, Netherworld Descends!"
As the incantation of the two Core Formation Old Ancestors rang out, the surrounding environment suddenly transformed.
Gloomy, damp. . .
A vast and turbid Yellow River appeared out of thin air, surging and roaring, seemingly concealing colossal dark shadows within as it swept towards Fang Xi.
CRASHING!
Suddenly, the waters of the Yellow Springs parted on their own, revealing a ferocious one-eyed giant python within.
"CLEAVE!"
Black light enveloped Fang Xi's body. Protecting himself with the demonic banner magical artifact, he pointed at the small bone sword.
A ghastly white sword light, like a bolt of silk, streaked across the python's neck.
CRASHING!
The colossal snake head fell into the Yellow Springs, but from the wound, two even larger snake heads emerged, spewing pitch-black venom onto the ghastly white small sword.
The sword light instantly dispersed, revealing the bone sword's true form, which had astonishingly become pitted and uneven, its spiritual light dimmed to the extreme.
This magical artifact, originating from a ghost cultivator, had not been particularly valued since it came into Fang Xi's hands. After several head-on clashes with powerful enemies, it hadn't been properly maintained.
By this point, it was completely scrapped!
"The Yellow Springs is the true body, and this giant python is merely a demon soul. . . No matter how many times it's killed, will it simply reappear?"
Fang Xi had already discerned some of the divine ability's true nature. His figure suddenly flickered and vanished.
"Not good!"
Seeing this, the two Elders, Hei and Bai, paled in shock, but their Divine Consciousness swept over the vicinity, yet they couldn't find any trace of the Six Desires Heaven Mixing Demonic Corpse!
WHOOSH!
A figure appeared behind Elder Hei, only to be swallowed by a colossal snake head that emerged from the void.
HISS!
The giant python flicked its tongue, its body wreathed in an eerie ghostly qi.
"That's that ghost king. . ."
Elder Bai knitted his brows, immediately sensing that something was amiss.
BOOM!
In mid-air, a figure appeared, revealing a colossal divine ability Dharma Idol behind him.
This Dharma Idol opened its massive hands and firmly grabbed both snake heads.
Fang Xi appeared above Elder Bai, his expression cold as his iron fist crashed down.
THUD! THUD!
With each descending blow of the iron fist, Elder Bai's face grew a shade paler.
"Old Bai. . ."
Seeing this, Elder Hei formed hand seals, just about to cast some powerful spell, when he saw Fang Xi give a sweep of his sleeve. Countless pitch-black flames flew out, enveloping him entirely.
CRACK!
After another punch, Elder Bai's protective spiritual shield shattered, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth as Fang Xi grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
The white pill in mid-air whimpered, then abruptly returned, striking Fang Xi's back. It only caused him to stagger, and then he extended a large hand, firmly grabbing the white Golden Core.
Without Elder Bai's Golden Core, the Netherworld Domain instantly dissipated. The Yellow Springs, the two-headed giant python. . . all vanished without a trace.
Fang Xi glanced at the mystic realm's exit, his figure flickered, and he vanished again.
Almost the instant he vanished, Elder Hei transformed into a stream of light, rushing out of the demonic flames, but where could he still see his partner's figure?
...
Inside the Mystic Realm.
Feeling the immense pressure from the surrounding void, Yu Hua, left with no alternative, could only spew out his 'Boundless Sea of Blood Pill' and join forces with the Core Formation cultivators who had, moments before, sought to slay him, to contend against the overwhelming demonic formation.
"Hmph. . . A bunch of former dogs, now daring to bark madly at their master."
The Young Palace Lord stood opposite them, hands clasped behind his back, exuding an air of calm composure.
He gazed at White Bone True Person, a mischievous smile appearing on his face: "Old bones. . . you've also seen this Young Palace Lord. . . If you are willing to surrender, this Young Palace Lord can spare your life. What do you say?"
"Impossible. . ."
White Bone True Person had a 'White Bone Relic' suspended above his head, and a sickly crimson flush appeared on his seemingly plump face: "Even if you can spare others, you won't spare this old Daoist. . . simply because this 'White Bone Relic' is the one that. . ."
"Damn it, it seems too many secrets were leaked from the Palace back then."
The Young Palace Lord's expression changed. He touched the back of his head.
A 'Heavenly Demon Relic' flew out, blossoming with a hundred zhang of demonic light, and the great formation's operation abruptly accelerated.
Just as Yu Hua was the first to falter, suddenly!
RUMBLE!
A sensation of earth-shaking rumbles swept through, and the entire mystic realm seemed to be turned upside down. Streaks of white light appeared in the void, like wounds in space. . .
And he suddenly felt the pressure vanish; the great formation had disintegrated on its own, he knew not when!
"What a chance! The mystic realm is broken, and void passages have appeared. . . As long as we force our way through, we can directly reach the outside world!"
White Bone True Person let out a long howl. His White Bone Relic rapidly surged in size, transforming into a smaller White Bone Herculean Fiend that embraced him. It then became a streak of light, plunging into a spatial rift and vanishing. . .
Seeing this, the other Core Formation cultivators immediately followed suit, escaping into the spatial rifts.
"Damn it. . ."
The Young Palace Lord had just recovered from the backlash of the great formation's destruction when he saw this scene, and a look of exasperated fury couldn't help but surface on his effeminate face.
