Chapter 517: Soul Transformation Heavenly Phenomenon (Seeking Subscriptions)

Several months later.

Inside the Mountain Sea Pearl's cave abode.

Xiao Qing was in the midst of her daily routine of wrestling Da Qing, kneading the third-tier green flood dragon like a noodle into various shapes. . .

Suddenly, a violent surge of demonic qi rippled forth.

"It's happening again. . ."

Xiao Qing looked towards the Saint Son's cave abode. "Master's aura has shifted several times. This time, it's the more familiar kind. . ."

Just as Da Qing tried to sneak away, Xiao Qing's claw pinned it down again, rendering it immobile. . .

Light flashed at the cave abode's entrance, and a figure emerged.

Though Fang Xi was still in human form, a dark green demonic aura swirled around him, surprisingly reaching the late-stage Transformation realm!

This was unequivocally a demon, no one could mistake it!

"What's wrong. . . Xiao Qing, don't you recognize your master?"

Fang Xi had some green patterns on his face as he chuckled.

"Master, could it be you've transformed into a demon bloodline?"

Xiao Qing released Da Qing, shifted into human form, and with wide, watery eyes, scrutinised Fang Xi from head to toe, unable to find a single flaw!

"Not quite. . . but I can now circulate the demon race's cultivation methods and secret arts without impediment."

Fang Xi's expression was enigmatic. He suddenly recited an incantation.

The next moment, a burst of dark green light erupted from him, revealing an exceptionally peculiar scaled armor.

This armor was woven from jade-green scales and multi-colored feathers, exuding a wild and ferocious aura.

After donning it, Fang Xi even felt a tremendous power surge through his limbs and bones. With a slight clench of his fist, the very air around him emitted a crisp, mournful whine.

"Master's physique. . . seems to rival that of a great Transformation-stage demon now."

Xiao Qing murmured.

"It's just a secret art. . ."

Fang Xi smiled faintly. "This 'Heavenly Phoenix Qilin Armor,' isn't bad, is it?"

This spirit armor secret art was naturally one of the secret techniques from the 'Celestial Demon Extermination Manual' that he had long coveted. It was called the 'Myriad Demon Armor,' capable of absorbing the essence blood of myriad demons to achieve an effect similar to body cultivation, while also providing a supremely defensive demonic armor!

This secret art acted upon the physical body, more akin to a physical divine ability. Once mastered, even if his spiritual energy transformed into immortal spiritual energy, it should still function smoothly.

"Master. . . you smell of that Elder Qing and the other Emerald Jade Qilin. . ."

Xiao Qing's pristine nose twitched, confirming her observation.

"Such a keen nose. . ."

Fang Xi playfully flicked Xiao Qing's nose and laughed heartily.

Compared to puppets, his own strength was naturally more important. He had extracted some essence blood from Elder Qing and the Emerald Jade Qilin, refining it into his body. Now, his physique was comparable to a Transformation-stage demon cultivator!

"This is merely the power of the secret art at minor completion. . . In truth, the Emerald Jade Qilin is only mid-grade fourth-tier, somewhat incompatible with the superior-grade fourth-tier Green Fire Luan, which prevents the Myriad Demon Armor from being perfect. . ."

"According to this secret art, if one could gather the essence blood of a fifth-tier Heavenly Phoenix, a Five Elements Lin Clan member, a Flood Dragon, and a Xuan Turtle, one could forge the 'Four Sacred Beast Armor'. . . its defensive power would be inconceivable, even possessing the miraculous effect of weakening heavenly tribulations!"

After several months of secluded cultivation, Fang Xi had completely mastered the 'Three-Phase Annihilation Art,' allowing him to freely switch between demon and demonic cultivation methods.

The soul-searching technique from the 'Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts' had achieved great success, and the life-saving secret arts from both demon and demonic cultivation were naturally also acquired by Fang Xi, who had long desired them.

Now, Fang Xi believed he possessed the strengths of Immortal, Demon, and Demonic paths. His spiritual energy and divine abilities had reached an inconceivable realm. Even if he encountered a Soul Transformation cultivator. . . as long as he didn't use the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, he might still escape with his life!

He mused for a moment, then a small grey-white pagoda suddenly appeared in his hand—it was the 'Soul Suppressing Pagoda'!

However, at this moment, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was completely powerless to resist the demonic energy Fang Xi infused into it, and was easily refined.

"It seems. . . the so-called 'spirituality' of these spirit treasures is rather limited in intelligence. . ."

Fang Xi had been unable to refine this Soul Suppressing Pagoda before, but now he could operate it at will. It transformed into a circle of grey-white light that enveloped everything.

"In terms of power, it subtly surpasses the 'Blood Fiend Hall'. . ."

Fang Xi put away the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, his gaze a little melancholic.

"The Fang Xian Dao Lord's side must be starting soon, too?"

He exited the Mountain Sea Pearl's cave abode and sat cross-legged, quietly waiting.

...

Kyushu World.

A desolate plain, stretching ten thousand li without a soul in sight.

Fang Xi and Tu Mo Zhenjun stood side by side, gazing at the Fang Xian Dao Lord ahead.

"Dao Lord. . . is it not too risky to shut down the 'Twelve Yuan Chen Heaven Fiend Grand Array' now?"

Tu Mo Zhenjun suggested again, "Why not wait until the Dao Lord successfully achieves Soul Transformation, and then use this as a trap. . ."

"No need. The Demon race isn't foolish; if they don't see an opportunity for gain, why would they act?"

The Fang Xian Dao Lord, clad in white robes, his long sleeves fluttering, said, "According to our previous deductions, the defense line formed by numerous Nascent Soul True Monarchs can at least hold back the vast majority of the Demon race. Only a few Soul Transformation Demon Venerables, if willing to pay the price, might be able to break through and disrupt my breakthrough to Soul Transformation. . ."

"The Taiyin defense line has Bai Mei Luo Han and Gui Axe Zhenjun, who will intervene at critical moments, so there's no major concern. . . Only my path here is the true vital point. . . But if handled well, Gui Axe Zhenjun can eliminate one Demon Venerable, and once I achieve Soul Transformation, I can eliminate another Soul Transformation Venerable from their side, adding to our chances of counterattacking."

The Fang Xian Dao Lord smiled faintly. "But. . . this is indeed playing with danger," Tu Mo Zhenjun murmured.

"How can one achieve the Great Dao without risk?"

The Fang Xian Dao Lord nodded towards Fang Xi. "If I am unfortunately to perish, then everything after will be entrusted to fellow Daoist."

"Dao Lord's calculations are flawless; nothing untoward will happen. You will certainly achieve Soul Transformation and utterly defeat the Demon race this time."

Fang Xi replied earnestly.

"I'll take your auspicious words."

The Fang Xian Dao Lord chuckled, then sat quietly in a cross-legged position, silently circulating his profound cultivation method.

Seven days later.

The heavens and earth rumbled. Innumerable five-colored light motes appeared from the void, from the light of the sun, moon, and stars, and from the mountains and earth, converging in mid-air to form an overwhelming five-colored aurora!

The surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushed in like a tide, its momentum so vast that it was clearly audible even a thousand li away!

"As expected of the Fang Xian Dao Lord, to so easily trigger a Soul Transformation Heavenly Phenomenon!"

Fang Xi felt the spiritual energy flowing through the void, and the subtly intensifying pressure, a feeling of admiration spontaneously rising in his heart.

Ninety percent of Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the world never cultivate to the perfected Nascent Soul realm in their entire lives.

And among the remaining ten percent, the vast majority probably couldn't even trigger such a Soul Transformation Heavenly Phenomenon!

Of course, Fang Xi felt that with the Fang Xian Dao Lord's deep accumulation, such a smooth breakthrough was only natural!

The Fang Xian Dao Lord clasped his hands together. Above his head, a patch of azure auspicious cloud, about an acre in size, appeared, subtly resembling a coiling turtle and serpent.

The turtle and serpent soared into the sky, like a Xuan Turtle churning clouds and a Soaring Serpent riding mist, each reaching mid-air, devouring the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refining the five-colored aurora, their forms growing ever larger and clearer.

The auspicious cloud behind the Fang Xian Dao Lord continuously expanded, from an acre in size, to three acres, six acres, nine acres!

Within the auspicious cloud, the five-colored turtle and serpent converged, suddenly coiling together to form a terrifying True Martial phantom!

The True Martial roared, actually absorbing all of the azure auspicious cloud, which contained infinite spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Its form continuously shrunk, merging into the Fang Xian Dao Lord's body!

As if a certain shackles had broken, Fang Xi's divine consciousness could clearly sense that the Fang Xian Dao Lord's spiritual energy fluctuations had broken through the limits of Nascent Soul, entering an entirely new realm!

"As expected of the Fang Xian Dao Lord, breaking through major realms is as easy as eating and drinking. . . Next, it must be the heavenly tribulation, right?"

Fang Xi looked up, only to see dark clouds rolling and lightning flashing faintly.

To break through to Soul Transformation, one naturally had to undergo a tribulation!

Not only that!

The 'Taiyi Scripture' in his hand continuously warned him, indicating that the Taiyin defense line was under fierce attack from the Demon race!

"This time, it's a dual tribulation of heaven and demons. . . I wonder how many of the four great Demon Venerables on Taiyin Star will ultimately arrive?"

...

Taiyin Star.

The twelve space stations that normally orbited it suddenly all contracted, activating only their most basic defensive shields, as if they had malfunctioned.

"The Twelve Yuan Chen Heaven Fiend Grand Array. . . it's stopped!"

"Under the command of the Holy Race. . . charge with me!"

A humanoid Demon race member with ox horns and hooves let out a sky-shaking roar in an ancient demonic tongue, surprisingly a great cultivator at the late-stage Nascent Soul realm!

This ox-headed Demon race member let out a battle cry, transforming into a streak of demonic light, soaring from Taiyin Star towards the sky. Behind him followed various uniquely shaped ancient demon beasts. On the backs of these ancient demon beasts stood numerous Demon race cultivators, the males grotesque, the females strikingly beautiful, like Asuras, all exuding terrifying auras, with none below the Core Formation stage. . .

"Kill!"

In cosmic orbit, from aboard a Sky Patrol Warship, True Monarch Jiannan roared. The warship's cannons thundered, and streaks of chaotic light rained down, each strike easily taking numerous Demon race lives.

He looked at the ox-horned Demon race member, extending a hand to the ship's interior. "Sword, come forth!"

Whoosh!

A golden stream of light appeared, landing in his hand, transforming into a golden flying sword.

"With sword in hand, no ghosts or gods remain! Haste!"

True Monarch Jiannan formed a sword incantation, and the golden flying sword transformed into a golden long rainbow, like a blazing meteor.

Pfft!

In mid-air, the golden flying sword instantly transformed into 129.6 billion nanometer-sized flying needles.

Pfft, pfft!

The flying needles easily pierced through the Hundred Refining Demonic Bodies of the lower-tier Demon race, but were blocked by the Nascent Soul-stage Demon race members.

Seeing this, True Monarch Jiannan roared in his heart, "This True Monarch is no longer what he once was!"

"Geng Jin Flying Meter Sword Array, activate!"

He spared no expense of the flying sword's energy. Each golden flying needle suddenly exploded, one transforming into a million-level array of flying meter-sized fine needles!

Pfft, pfft!

This time, more Nascent Soul-stage Demon race members had their Dantians burst open, screaming as they turned to ashes.

Only the ox-horned Demon race member, forming incantations with both hands, sent out a silver-horned demonic treasure. It transformed into a silver light pillar, firmly protecting himself and a few close confidants. "Damn it. . . it's that move again. The Human race's magical arts and spirit treasures are upgrading too fast. . ."

The Demon race was quite helpless about this.

The Human race of Kyushu World initially suffered repeated defeats, but later managed to organize counterattacks, suppressing the Demon race to the Taiyin Star front.

Furthermore, every few years, unexpected spells and spirit treasures would emerge!

Just a few years! A regular Demon race member could take a nap and it would be over. . . This truly put them on the verge of a mental breakdown. . .
