Chapter 509: Slaying the Demon (Seeking Subscription)
Rumble!
Demonic light, a jade ruler, and golden Gu worms burst forth with dazzling brilliance.
The void was twisted to its limit, yet ultimately fell just short.
Fang Xi's eyes were deep and profound; he was just about to unleash the Divine Infant Sword.
"Valley God cannot be destroyed. . . Valley God cannot be destroyed. . ."
Suddenly, a roaring sound echoed through the blue-green mist, as a mountain-like colossal black shadow slowly drew near.
The oppressive aura brought forth by the Soul Transformation stage even caused Feng Shisan's Second Primordial Spirit within his Dantian to open its eyes and tremble uncontrollably.
"No good. . . Go!"
The gray-white small pagoda rumbled, then suddenly erupted with a beam of white light, striking the weak point in the void.
Puff!
The void, twisted to its very limit, shattered with a crash, revealing a faint white arc of light, within which lay the unknowable Greater Void.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Fang Xi immediately retracted his Five Fires Gu. Five-colored radiance appeared around his body, faintly manifesting a Heavenly Phoenix phantom as he rode the silver light, plunging into the arc of light.
Although he recognized the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, escaping was of greater importance at the moment.
"Heavenly Phoenix?"
Jade True Monarch was startled, but his movements were not slow in the least. He conjured a spell, causing the Soul Suppressing Pagoda to erupt with a layer of silver light, heavily protecting himself, and likewise rushed into the arc of light.
Only Pan Yin hesitated slightly, for she had no void-type treasures at hand.
But just as she gritted her teeth, intending to rush into the void rift, it was already too late.
"Valley God! Valley God!"
Another demonic sound echoed forth, and Pan Yin felt her internal magic stagnate. Her expression involuntarily changed dramatically, and she had the Second Primordial Spirit formed by her Golden Silkworm Gu block behind her.
Whoosh!
The mountain-sized demonic shadow drew closer, and a pitch-black strand of fur fell, transforming into a pitch-black flying sword.
This flying sword was swift as lightning; with just a single thrust, it pierced through the Golden Silkworm Gu and embedded itself in Pan Yin's Dantian.
A look of despair appeared on Pan Yin's face. A flash of light emanated from the crown of her head, and a Nascent Soul emerged, just about to cast a teleportation spell.
The next moment, a large, pitch-black maw appeared in the void. It opened wide and swallowed the Nascent Soul, and a purple tongue licked its lips, seemingly still not satisfied. . .
...
Western Desert.
In a desolate, uninhabited desert.
The void was suddenly disturbed, and streaks of silver light transformed into a gateway, from which a five-colored Heavenly Phoenix emerged.
The five-colored phoenix flew out of the void rift in disarray, transforming into a masked human figure.
Fang Xi let out a long breath. "Even such ultra-short-distance void travel is quite risky. Fortunately, the Heavenly Phoenix race is skilled in manipulating void power. . . otherwise, it would truly be troublesome."
Thinking of that mountain-like demonic shadow, he sighed slightly.
'That Soul Transformation demon venerable seems to be in an unusual state. . . If I had known it was half-mad, I wouldn't have needed to risk passing through a void weak point; I would have just gone straight to the Jiuzhou World. . . '
Recalling the recent brush with death, Fang Xi was filled with emotion.
If not for his apprehension of that Soul Transformation existence, and his reluctance to use the 'All-Heavens Precious Mirror' right under its nose, he wouldn't have been forced to such an extent.
Fortunately, the divinations of the 'Fortune Gu' indeed had their unique merits. This trip to the mystic realm was ultimately a thrilling but harmless one.
"Counting my gains, there are some strange Gu worms, Blood River True Water, Blood River Stones, and a 'Fortune Gu'. . ."
Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness swept through the Profound Origin Eight Scenery Pearl, discovering that the 'Fortune Gu' within it emitted a faint, ethereal aura, seemingly truly having fallen into a deep slumber, needing ten years to awaken.
However, for him, this was just right.
"Given this situation, it seems I can make another move."
"That Jade True Monarch, I've wanted to deal with him for a long time. . . And this demon actually dared to show me his 'Soul Suppressing Pagoda'!"
Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness spread out, able to sense everything within a radius of several hundred li.
Suddenly, his expression shifted, and he transformed into a five-colored light of evasion, flying towards a certain spot a hundred li away.
A hundred li away.
In the void, a flash of silver light, and Jade True Monarch, protected by the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, burst out from the void rift.
Although he and Fang Xi had plunged into the void rift one after the other, upon emerging, they were surprisingly separated by a hundred li!
"It seems. . . Pan Yin has also fallen. Alas, Valley God Venerable, how did it come to this?"
Jade True Monarch sighed, then suddenly raised an eyebrow, sensing a sweep of Divine Consciousness, which immediately locked firmly onto his aura.
"This Divine Consciousness. . . it seems to belong to that unfamiliar early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Quite interesting, actually."
Jade True Monarch sneered. Although that unfamiliar early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was somewhat peculiar, his aura was only around the early-stage Nascent Soul realm. Yet, he possessed the power of a Heavenly Phoenix, which piqued his investigative curiosity.
Therefore, he didn't flee at all, but rather stood silently in place, waiting for that person to arrive.
A moment later, a five-colored aurora shimmered, and Fang Xi saw Jade True Monarch standing atop the sand dune.
He was somewhat surprised that the other party didn't flee, but after a moment's thought, he understood.
In the other party's eyes, he was merely an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
And Jade True Monarch, though outwardly an early-stage Nascent Soul human cultivator, was in fact a great demon in transformed form. To assume such a covert responsibility, it wouldn't be surprising if his cultivation had reached the mid-stage or even late-stage.
What's more, demon race kings were always arrogant. Upon encountering a challenger like himself, they naturally wouldn't flee before a fight.
With this thought, Fang Xi chuckled softly and conjured his Five Fires Gu.
"Gugua! "
The Five Fires Gu let out a strange cry and spat out a crimson inferno.
This demonic fire was entirely crimson, capable of melting bone into blood — it was precisely the 'Bone-Melting Blood Flame'!
"You!"
Jade True Monarch, enraged, his emerald jade ruler, riddled with fine cracks, suddenly transformed into a layer of jade-like radiance, blocking the Bone-Melting Blood Flame.
"Go!"
Fang Xi, however, showed not the slightest surprise and once again conjured a spell.
The Five Fires Gu spat out a ball of emerald-green ghostly fire. This fire appeared exceptionally emerald and carried a faint fragrance. Even when Jade True Monarch caught a whiff of it, he felt his head swim slightly. However, being a demon beast, his physique was naturally powerful, so this trace of poison was utterly insignificant.
Whoosh!
The Five Fires Gu continuously spat out one fireball after another.
Among them were Profound Corpse Fire, Three Yang Demonic Fire, and Red Lotus Demonic Flame. . .
The five different-colored demonic flames, arranged in a Five Elements formation, possessed the power to scorch the heavens and destroy the earth.
Fang Xi didn't stop, instead coldly shouting, "Explode!"
Rumble!
A five-colored flame violently erupted, its scorching temperature instantly melting countless grains of sand in the desert, forming glass-like structures.
Countless waves of fire swept in all directions, and smoke and dust instantly rose.
After the five-colored flames completely dissipated, a emerald-green radiance flew out from the deep pit – it was none other than Jade True Monarch.
However, at this moment, several scorched patches appeared on his body, and in his hand, he still clutched a jade ruler riddled with cracks.
Clatter!
Suddenly, this emerald jade ruler spirit treasure directly exploded, transforming into countless specks of light and dissipating.
"Who exactly are you, Your Excellency? I believe I have no grievances or enmities with you."
Jade True Monarch said coldly.
"Demon race spies, everyone has the right to slay them!"
Fang Xi sneered. The Yama Emperor Dharma Idol appeared behind him, and the Yama Demon Domain instantly expanded.
"So that's how it is. In that case, I cannot let you live."
Jade True Monarch's eyes narrowed slightly. He suddenly let out a cold laugh, and a gray-white small pagoda appeared in his hand.
Buzz!
The small pagoda instantly teleported above Fang Xi's head, and a circle of silver light descended, like a cage, trapping Fang Xi within it.
Roar! Roar!
Amidst a strange roar, Jade True Monarch lunged forward. A green light flashed, and he instantly transformed into a colossal Jade Qilin. A single horn protruded from its head, and terrifying demonic qi, having reached the peak of mid-stage transformation, emanated from it. For some unknown reason, however, there was a clear injury on its front leg.
With a flash of green light, the Jade Qilin had already charged before Fang Xi, its emerald-green horn violently thrusting forward!
With its demon beast physique, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't dare to take this blow head-on!
Seeing this, Fang Xi unhurriedly extended his right hand, spreading his five fingers.
With a flash of five-colored light, his right hand instantly transformed into a Heavenly Phoenix claw. Streaks of silver radiance flickered, allowing him to directly escape the Soul Suppressing Pagoda's confinement and press a claw onto the Jade Qilin's head.
Bang!
In the void, a phantom of a five-colored Heavenly Phoenix appeared, then quickly vanished.
The Jade Qilin was instantly sent reeling back a hundred zhang, several scales falling from its forehead.
It raised its head, letting out a terrifying roar: "You actually refined a mid-grade fourth-tier Heavenly Phoenix into a puppet? !"
"More than that! Proxy combat technique!"
Fang Xi feigned a shout, and a figure appeared in the void — it was none other than Fang Xi's true body, wearing a bamboo hat!
He smiled faintly, and a figure clad in a green robe appeared behind the Jade Qilin, striking out with a punch!
After sensing his Second Primordial Spirit, Fang Xi had gone to the Red Sun Realm, then traveled back and released the superior-grade fourth-tier Elder Qing puppet!
Bang!
A terrifying bloody hole appeared on the back of the colossal Jade Qilin, which was then violently slammed into the desert floor.
"A superior-grade fourth-tier. . . Green Fire Luan? ! Are you Elder Qing of the Heavenly Phoenix race?"
The Jade Qilin was greatly alarmed, and saw Elder Qing let out a long cry, revealing his true Green Fire Luan form. With two claws, he seized the Jade Qilin and violently ripped it apart.
Snap!
The Five Elements Qilin clan's proud physique was instantly torn into two halves, with countless streams of demon blood spilling forth.
Amidst the sky-filling blood, a green demon core flickered fiercely, instantly teleporting several hundred zhang away. Inside the demon core, there was also a vividly lifelike Jade Qilin demon soul.
The demon soul roared, about to retrieve the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, but Fang Xi picked up a white chess piece and gently placed it down.
With the crisp sound of the piece falling, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was bound by streaks of white light. Although these white lights continuously shattered, they still managed to delay the treasure.
Wuwah!
The mournful cry of an infant rang out.
Above the Jade demon core, a palm-sized demonic sword appeared at some unknown moment, and a burst of sinister demonic qi soared into the sky.
Countless vein-like patterns descended, tightly binding the Jade Qilin demon soul and drawing it into the Divine Infant Sword.
Fang Xi conjured a spell, collected Jade True Monarch's demon core, and then looked at the Jade Qilin's corpse on the ground.
"How did its front paw get severed too?"
"No matter, it's fine. Wooden puppets aren't picky eaters; at worst, I'll just attach a prosthetic limb. . ."
He opened the Mountain Sea Pearl, transported the Jade Qilin back into it, then cleaned up the battlefield, just about to leave.
Suddenly, he frowned slightly, looking towards the direction of the Valley God Mystic Realm.
