Chapter 385: Storage Bag (For Patron 20181126190255504! )
Most wood-attribute demonic beasts possess a divine ability to conceal their aura.
And among them, the Myriad-year Wood Demon was truly preeminent!
This demonic beast had been lurking underground all this time, and suddenly launched an attack. If it had been two ordinary Core Formation cultivators, they might have fallen directly.
Fang Xi surmised that particular Green Emperor Mountain disciple, whether a traitor or not, had likely perished in such a humiliating manner.
“How could there be a fourth-tier demonic beast here? It makes no sense. . . ”
Old Ghost muttered twice: “Could it be a trap set by the Sect Master. . . just to lure out the traitor? ”
“But wood spirits possess a long lifespan, this old man is truly screwed. . . ”
He hid behind the Wood Cauldron magic treasure, and with a raised hand, a golden, radiant talisman flew out.
The talisman exploded in mid-air, transforming into a golden fireball, within which countless golden runes flickered, carrying an incredibly dense spiritual energy, like a falling miniature sun, plummeting towards the Myriad-year Wood Demon.
A strange smile appeared on the Myriad-year Wood Demon's anthropomorphic face. A layer of moss fell from its cheek, and it suddenly opened its mouth and lightly blew.
A dark green demonic wind emerged, entangling with the golden flames.
The miniature sun's light rapidly dimmed, but in the end, a few flames landed on the Wood Demon's body and began to burn quickly.
The Myriad-year Wood Demon paid it no mind whatsoever. It gave its body a shake.
Pieces of vines burning with golden flames continuously fell to the ground, rapidly turning into ash, while from where its limbs were damaged, more vines emerged, forming a completely new body.
“Limb regeneration? ”
“A fourth-tier demonic beast possessing such a divine ability will be extremely difficult to deal with. ”
Fang Xi flicked his ten fingers in succession, conjuring streaks of blood-red lightning that landed around him, forming a defense.
At the same time, he shook the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, releasing the late-stage Core Formation Ghost King.
No sooner had this Ghost King let out a roar than it saw countless green vines opposite, twisting together, condensing into a vine whip, from which tender green sprouts and small white flowers bloomed.
Thwack!
In the surrounding void, the phantoms of tender green sprouts and pure white flowers inexplicably emerged, releasing terrifying spiritual energy.
The next instant.
This late-stage Core Formation Ghost King was whipped into countless pieces, unable to reform its body!
Fang Xi looked over and saw that the vine whip was formed from the Wood Demon's right arm.
After dispatching the Ghost King, its emerald eyes flashed, and the enormous vine whip swept towards Fang Xi once more in an instant.
Phantoms of sprouts and a hundred flowers appeared around Fang Xi, even drawing out the spiritual energy within his body!
“Indeed, any demonic beast that reaches the fourth tier is truly extraordinary. ”
Fang Xi formed hand seals with both hands, and behind him, the phantom of the three-eyed, six-armed Yama Emperor emerged. Six arms consecutively blasted out.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Before him, six masses of inky black light resembled black holes, devouring the countless phantoms of white flowers.
Snap!
The vine whip returned without success, and two arms of the Yama Emperor phantom behind Fang Xi instantly fractured.
“Fellow Daoist Wood Demon. . . why must we fight to the death upon meeting? Why not sit down and talk. . . ”
Fang Xi sighed, terrifying spiritual energy erupted from his body, releasing Nascent Soul-level magic power fluctuations!
“The Island. . . the Island Master is actually a Nascent Soul cultivator! ? ”
Zhan Tu gazed at this scene, he could barely believe it: “He. . . he hid himself so well. . . No wonder he needed Soul Transformation realm cultivation techniques. . . ”
“Impossible! ”
Old Ghost was even more incredulous than Zhan Tu: “The Spirit Resonance Gate's senses cannot be wrong; this person is indeed a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. . . I know! He must have learned some secret art to refine a second Nascent Soul, and somehow encountered some heaven-defying fortuitous opportunity to have actually condensed a second Nascent Soul first, without any backlash! ”
“A second Nascent Soul? ! ”
Zhan Tu had no concept of this whatsoever.
“In short, it’s a secret art similar to an External Core. . . This person truly had something hidden, and nearly deceived this old man. . . Fortunately, we encountered this Myriad-year Wood Demon, otherwise, if you had faced his sudden outburst at the critical moment, the consequences would have been unimaginable. . . Hehe. . . Fortunately, a second Nascent Soul is ultimately not one's true cultivation realm; he is still a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. . . Your Withered Glory Mystic Light will still be effective against him. ”
As Old Ghost's spiritual transmission concluded, his expression became enigmatic.
After Fang Xi's command, the Myriad-year Wood Demon paused its actions for an instant, its emerald eyes seemingly pondering something.
But soon, it roared again, and in the void, countless green pine needles appeared, dense and innumerable, enveloping the entire plaza.
“Negotiation is useless? Could it be that this Wood Demon hasn't gained sentience? Or has it been placed under some restriction? ”
Fang Xi looked at Old Ghost beside him.
His first thought was that Old Ghost had manipulated this Wood Demon to ambush him.
But seeing the Wood Demon's indiscriminate attack now, it didn't seem to be the case.
Fang Xi raised a hand, and a dark light pillar shot into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner immediately floated in mid-air, like an umbrella, completely shielding him. He even had the leisure to look at Old Ghost: “Old Ghost. . . if you're still holding back, I'll simply leave! Though this Wood Demon is formidable, it's impossible for it to keep me here. . . What's more, there are still two targets here! ”
This Old Ghost could actually share spiritual power with Zhan Tu, exerting power beyond a perfected Core Formation realm, which indeed made Fang Xi look at him with new eyes.
He naturally knew that Old Ghost undoubtedly had many trump cards left.
Taking this opportunity to make him reveal some of them wouldn't be bad.
“Damn it. . . In this situation, that spiritual treasure, the ‘Myriad Woods Spring Life Scroll’, would be most suitable. . . but precisely because we needed to stop those two Nascent Soul old monsters, it had to be abandoned. . . Careful! ”
Old Ghost deployed the Wood Cauldron magic treasure above his head.
And then. . .
Crackling!
Countless azure-green pine needles rained down like raindrops, smashing onto the Wood Cauldron magic treasure. That layer of defensive light shield extinguished in an instant, and then landed on the artifact's main body, producing sounds like rain hitting banana leaves.
Pffft! Pffft!
Under Zhan Tu's horrified gaze, the Wood Cauldron magic treasure actually began to become riddled with holes.
Finally, with a loud boom, it shattered into countless pieces!
“Go! ”
Seeing this, Old Ghost gritted his teeth and had Zhan Tu throw out an azure sphere.
Boom!
Thunder reverberated!
After this blue sphere was pierced by the pine needles in mid-air, it actually erupted with an incredibly dazzling bolt of lightning!
This lightning wasn't ordinary electricity, but carried a purple-gold hue, imbued with an aura of destruction.
For some reason, seeing this type of lightning, Fang Xi was reminded of the dual-colored tribulation lightning the Progenitor Demonic Tree encountered during its tribulation!
Boom!
With a flash of lightning, the pine needles in the sky vanished instantly, turning into wisps of green smoke.
Subsequently, a purple-gold lightning bolt struck the Myriad-year Wood Demon's body, leaving most of its body charred black, and a hideous lightning-fire scar appeared on its chest.
‘This Old Ghost. . . he has quite a few treasures hidden away, huh? Even Nascent Soul old monsters wouldn't dare to take this lightning bead head-on, right? ’
Fang Xi retrieved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
This banner truly lived up to its reputation, having been refined from the spiritual bones of a fourth-tier shapeshifting great demon. After enduring this terrifying assault, its surface was merely pockmarked, with only a few small tears in its banner fabric; its main body suffered no significant damage.
“Fellow Daoist. . . this Myriad-year Wood Demon has been severely wounded by this old man's ‘Spirit-Slaying Ancient Thunder Orb’. The rest is up to you, Fellow Daoist. . . ”
Old Ghost's voice came through, sounding somewhat weak, surprisingly.
“Asura Dao! ”
Fang Xi naturally wouldn't let this heaven-sent opportunity slip by. He immediately formed hand seals with both hands, and the Yama Emperor figure behind him let out a roar. Blood-red long spears appeared on all six of its arms.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The blood-red long spears shot out like lightning, landing around the Myriad-year Wood Demon, making its green spiritual light tremble violently.
Countless blood-red lightning bolts intermingled with runes were annihilated in mid-air, while pieces of burning, fiery wreckage flew out.
Those were pieces of charred vine wood. . .
“Is this the might of a Nascent Soul cultivator? ! ”
Zhan Tu gazed at this scene, feeling his own Golden Core tremble.
The power of those streaks of blood-red lightning. . . it would be difficult for him to withstand even a single one, unless he used the Fusion Secret Art with Old Ghost. . .
Pfft!
Suddenly, amidst the countless blood-red lightning bolts, a point of green light flickered.
That was a fist-sized, emerald inner core, its entire body crystal-clear like jade, and radiating intense vitality.
Buzzing!
Under the green light, the countless blood-red lightning bolts extinguished simultaneously.
With a flash of green light, this inner core swiftly flew out, reaching the edge of the Black Jade Plaza in the blink of an eye.
“Human Dao! ”
In an instant, the Yama Emperor behind Fang Xi formed a hand seal, and a streak of inky black demonic light accurately struck the emerald demonic core!
The demonic core became unstable for a moment, and from it, a phantom of the Wood Demon actually emerged, looking exactly like the Wood Demon from before.
“A fourth-tier demonic core and the spirit essence of a shapeshifting great demon? ”
Old Ghost muttered, but did not make a move.
A demonic light flashed in Fang Xi's eyes, and three Primordial Demon Spikes landed on this Wood Demon's spirit essence, making it let out a wretched scream.
The next moment, an invisible suction force emerged, retrieving the emerald demonic core, which Fang Xi grasped in his hand.
He pulled out a jade bottle and stuffed the Wood Demon's spirit essence into it, then casually affixed a talisman to it.
‘Although this Wood Demon's state seemed a bit off, it was still a fourth-tier shapeshifting great demon after all. . . Whether it's the demonic core or the spirit soul, it's a huge gain. ’
Fang Xi collected these items and calmly looked at Old Ghost: “Young friend Zhan Tu. . . I'll take this item; the remaining spoils of war can all be yours. . . That fourth-tier Wood Demon's body is excellent material for refining many wood-attribute treasures. ”
“Many thanks, Senior. . . ”
Zhan Tu immediately showed a respectful expression and began collecting the Wood Demon's materials, without any dissatisfaction, as if he truly considered himself a junior.
After all, Fang Xi was now a ‘Nascent Soul cultivator’.
Isn't it only natural that he would take the lion's share of the spoils?
But Fang Xi's heart jolted, knowing that Old Ghost likely harbored ill intentions towards him, which was why he allowed him to freely collect the treasures.
He might be planning to catch them all in one final swoop!
‘Hmph. . . When the time comes, we'll see whose methods are superior. ’
Fang Xi slowly paced over to the corpse. A large hand formed of spiritual power flipped it over, revealing a body riddled with wounds.
“This person indeed fell into the Myriad-year Wood Demon's ambush. . . ”
Old Ghost drifted over, remarking with emotion: “However, when the sect was annihilated back then, this person still secretly infiltrated the Long Evergreen Park; he must have been a traitor of Green Emperor Mountain. . . ”
“I'm quite curious how this person managed to infiltrate this far. ”
Fang Xi's spiritual power hand, still grasping the person, shook slightly, and a green storage bag fell out, making Old Ghost's eyes light up!
