Chapter 450: Attack (Makeup for overdue update 25)
Tianbei City.
'Tianfeng Cave'.
This was the cave dwelling of a local Core Formation True Person. This Core Formation True Person had always been active in society as a major entrepreneur and philanthropist, and it was said that he had even invested a small stake in Dema Technology back then. . .
"Who would have thought. . . that this place would actually be the Dark Moon Cult's main base. . ."
Fang Xi's Nascent Soul emerged from his body, attaching itself to the Green Horned Silver-Armed Puppet. He arrived before the Tianfeng Cave dwelling, sighing softly.
After his Core Formation, he had sealed off his cave dwelling under the pretext of going into seclusion to consolidate his Golden Core.
Subsequently, he controlled this Four-Stage Puppet body, traveling underground all the way until he finally arrived at Tianfeng Cave.
Tianbei City, where this place was located, was completely separate from Fangxian University.
After all, this identity and appearance were registered with the Endless Treasury Lord White Brow Zhenjun!
Fang Xi had no doubt that at this very moment, a Big Data Analysis AI would report him, and perhaps White Brow Zhenjun was already on his way.
But this was exactly what Fang Xi wanted!
He wasn't sure if he could defeat the Dark Moon Cult; after all, even though he had secretly investigated for years and confirmed that the Dark Moon Cult Master was only a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator, who knew if they had any hidden trump cards?
He had come this time to eliminate witnesses, and his main objective was to stir up trouble!
Even if he couldn't kill them, he would blow the matter up. It would be best to have the 'Sun's True Fire Shield' fire another shot. . . then they'd see who could outrun whom!
"The Dark Moon Cult's requirements are getting stricter and stricter; it's getting hard to blend in anymore. . ."
"As for the puppet, if it breaks, it breaks. It's not like I'm the one repairing it!"
With that thought, Fang Xi grinned ferociously, a frantic green light flashing around his body as he slowly raised his silver right arm.
Sizzle!
A silver-white arc of electricity appeared, forming the shape of a long spear, which he then threw forcefully.
The long spear landed on the Tianfeng Cave's formation, instantly destroying this third-order formation.
Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness spread out, quickly locking onto two individuals.
One of them had Nascent Soul early-stage power fluctuations; it was none other than the Dark Moon Cult Master!
The other was someone he was very familiar with: his superior, the 'Cleric'. . .
"Who goes there? !"
With the formation broken, the Dark Moon Cult Master naturally sensed this Nascent Soul Divine Consciousness, speaking with a mix of shock and fury.
"No. . . you are. . ."
He then saw Fang Xi's appearance and was suddenly extremely surprised, as if he could recognize Fang Xi.
"It seems the Dark Moon Cult has deeply infiltrated; they even obtained footage from that battle back then. . ."
Fang Xi burst into laughter. "The one who's here for your lives!"
He opened his mouth wide, and a stream of green light surged forth, transforming into nine wind dragons that rampaged through the cave dwelling.
Even Core Formation demonic cultivators would face certain death if they encountered these dragons formed from green wind blades.
"Hmph! How presumptuous!"
The Dark Moon Cult Master roared, forming hand seals as if tearing away a layer of seal. Incredibly dense demonic qi erupted from his body, rapidly spreading outwards.
Amidst the heavy demonic qi, his fangs protruded, his face was grotesque, two black, hideous horns grew from his head, and his body was covered in scales, as if forming a pitch-black armor.
This was clearly his appearance after activating a demonic cultivation method!
"Indeed, he's been modified by infusing demonic qi. . ."
"Such a Nascent Soul early-stage cultivator, imbued with demonic qi and wielding demonic arts, if encountered by a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator without specific countering methods, couldn't be easily defeated. . ."
Fang Xi's expression remained unchanged. The Blood Transformation Demon Blade appeared in his hand, and he swung it fiercely!
A dazzling, crimson blade light instantly enveloped the entire cave dwelling.
Sizzle!
The crimson blade light landed on the Dark Moon Cult Master's demonic armor defense, leaving only a shallow gash.
The Dark Moon Demon Master grinned ferociously, just about to say something, when his expression suddenly flickered!
Behind the blade light, there was actually a thunder pearl!
Boom!
Several Divine Malice Thunder Pearls suddenly exploded, fierce black-red baleful qi shooting straight into the sky!
This time, Fang Xi had released all of Seven Kills Demon Lord's stock, especially in the area where his superior, the 'Cleric,' was located, intentionally giving him an extra one, his Divine Consciousness watching as the opponent turned to ash within the Divine Malice Thunder Pearl!
"Damn it, are you crazy? !"
A black light flashed.
The Dark Moon Cult Master appeared several hundred zhang away, seeing this scene, he immediately cursed furiously.
This is a city district!
Making such a huge commotion, aren't you afraid of Fang Xian Dao Palace's people investigating? !
No, wait, this strange, unfamiliar Nascent Soul, whose side is he on?
The Dark Moon Cult Master felt utterly bewildered.
But at this moment, these were clearly not the things to consider.
From their brief exchange earlier, he knew he was no match for this strange Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Furthermore, with his opponent acting so recklessly, a Sky Patrol Battleship could arrive at any moment; it was best to relocate first.
As for these dead subordinates?
As long as he remained, as long as the Demon race still supported him. . . he could easily raise another batch of manpower in a mere decade or so!
For a Nascent Soul cultivator, a decade or so was not a particularly long time!
But just then. . . *Wuwah*!
A sound like a baby crying rang out.
This was not a cry, but the chime of a sword!
The Dark Moon Cult Master was momentarily entranced. Caught off guard, a small black-red sword appeared behind him and plunged forward with a fierce stab!
"Ah!"
A scene that horrified the Dark Moon Cult Master beyond measure unfolded: his demonic art's defense, under that small sword, was torn apart as easily as paper.
The Divine Infant Sword effortlessly cut through the Dark Moon Cult Master's demonic armor defense, and then a surge of demonic baleful qi emerged, tearing apart his physical body.
A black light flashed!Several hundred zhang away, a pitch-black Nascent Soul appeared, holding a black jade pendant in its hand.
But before it could teleport, the Divine Infant Sword also appeared before the tiny figure like a shadow.
The Dark Moon Cult Master's Nascent Soul shrieked in terror, activating the black jade pendant in its hand, causing a black light curtain to appear.
Beyond the light curtain, pitch-black flames, as if from the Nine Nethers Hell, blazed fiercely.
Seeing this, Fang Xi merely sneered and formed hand seals.
Countless blood vessels pulsed on the Divine Infant Sword, and translucent figures of blood-red small people emerged, circling the sword, then stabbing forward fiercely!
The pitch-black flames were blocked by the blood-red figures. The Divine Infant Sword pierced through the black light curtain, then instantly teleported again, catching up to the fleeing Nascent Soul and thrusting through its chest!
The Dark Moon Cult Master's Nascent Soul lowered its head, looking at the half-blade of the sword, seemingly wanting to say something, but countless blood vessels suddenly appeared on its body, like a crimson net, completely enveloping it before it was swallowed into the Divine Infant Sword.
Fang Xi currently couldn't soul-search a Nascent Soul, so he naturally didn't mind using it to refine the Divine Infant Sword.
All of this appeared incredibly complex, but it had actually transpired within a few breaths.
Only then did the surrounding cave dwellings detect the anomaly in the area, emitting piercing alarms.
Rumble!
The sky shattered, and a massive Sky Patrol Battleship emerged.
"I'm done playing with you all!"
Fang Xi waved his hand, retrieving the Divine Infant Sword, then transformed into a black demonic light and drilled into the ground.
Then, with a flash of silver light, his figure vanished.
...
Southern Desolate Cultivation World.
Fang Xi opened his eyes and saw the Green Horned Silver-Armed Puppet floating before him.
Meanwhile, his External Avatar appeared, surprisingly, it directly teleported back.
"Hmm, this time wasn't bad; I didn't break the puppet. . ."
Fang Xi examined the wooden puppet, nodding with satisfaction.
...
Fangxian University.
Inside the cave dwelling, in the cultivation chamber.
Zhang Huohua's physical body sat withered, a Soul Lamp placed before him.
Whoosh!
With a flash of silver light, the External Avatar appeared, tossing the Soul Lamp and everything else related to it back to the Southern Desolate, then drilling into Zhang Huohua's body.
Zhang Huohua slowly opened his eyes, his aura stabilized at the Core Formation early-stage.
"It's time to emerge from seclusion!"
He murmured, tidied his appearance, then walked out of the cave dwelling and arrived before a research institute.
"I am Zhang Huohua from the Origin Qi Research Institute. Is Professor Huo Yunzi in?"
Fang Xi spoke to the security gate.
Not long after, a screen appeared, showing the image of a red-haired middle-aged man: "Oh, it's you. . . I remember you're Old Lu's graduate student. Eh, you've actually reached Core Formation? Did you come to see me about your Life-Bound Artifact?"
The research institute's formation rumbled open, revealing the true gate.
Fang Xi walked inside, faintly sensing threats from all directions.
He lowered his gaze, appearing docile, and entered a laboratory, where he saw Professor Huo Yunzi conducting an experiment.
"Professor, Tutor Lu said that the artifacts you refine here are the best in Jiuzhou World."
Fang Xi smiled faintly.
"Naturally. . . This old man's Femtometer Research Institute possesses the only femtometer printer in the Jiuzhou World. Whatever artifact you desire, whatever array patterns you wish to engrave, as long as you input the data, it can be instantly forged."
Huo Yunzi sighed with emotion, "If I hadn't lost a bet to Old Lu last time, I wouldn't have agreed. Alright, I'll take you to the femtometer printer; you can use it once. . ."
He seemed to think highly of Fang Xi as well: "I've read your paper; the proposal for the three-phase structure is quite intriguing. . . How did you come up with the three-phase structure for the world's primordial qi?"
"It's because I once read an Otherworld Heavenly Tome that contained an introduction to 'demons'. . ."
Fang Xi humbly replied, "I merely put forth a concept. As for the precise particle composition of demonic qi, that still requires research from many colleagues. . ."
"Being able to propose the correct idea is already excellent. The Origin Qi Research Institute is just a bunch of exhaustive drones; as long as the idea is correct, any science and engineering student can do this work. . ."
Huo Yunzi pursed his lips, seemingly dismissive of the Origin Qi Research Institute's work.
Fang Xi merely smiled and didn't say anything more.
Getting involved in such academic factional attacks was not a wise move.
Not long after, the two arrived before a terminal.
This terminal was shaped like a massive Eight Trigrams Cauldron, surrounded by dense array patterns, some of which Fang Xi recognized, others he did not. . .
"Alright, what are the parameters?"
Huo Yunzi said.
"Here."
Fang Xi handed over something resembling a USB drive.
Huo Yunzi casually inserted it into an interface and examined it: "Hmm? This flying sword has a very ancient style. . . And this groove, you actually even set up its own energy system? Even a nanometer flying sword requires an astronomical amount of energy. Not relying on energy furnace charging is a heterodox path. . ."
