Chapter 520: Qing Shou (Catch-up Update 48)

“You’re not dead? No. . . this is the ‘True Blood Transference Great Art’ from the ‘Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts’! ”

The Red Demon Venerable seemed to realize something.

Among the demonic arts she had imparted, there was such a life-saving secret technique, which required refining a large amount of essence blood in advance to serve as a tribulation-resolving secret art.

Although each activation would severely deplete one's vitality, it was nothing compared to saving one's life.

“Indeed, I must thank Demon Venerable for imparting the technique; otherwise, I would have died just now. . . ”

Fang Xi also felt a lingering fear in his heart.

If his Outer Dao Nascent Soul hadn't recently advanced to the mid-Nascent Soul stage and mastered many demonic life-saving secret arts, and if Ao Kun hadn't been so eager to slay the Fang Xian Dao Lord, just one more glance, one more strike. . . he would probably have been gone. . .

Meanwhile, in the stellar orbit of outer space, on the surface of one Star Pagoda after another, countless nanobots and Yellow Turban Strongmen flew out, repairing the parts that had been damaged by Ao Kun’s earlier rampage. . .

A hint of a smile suddenly appeared on the Scarlet Demon Venerable's face.

Evidently, she didn't mind playing around with Fang Xi here. . .

‘This Demon Venerable has selfish motives. . . but it’s normal for cultivators of our generation to be inherently selfish. ’

Fang Xi accurately grasped her psychology and was happy to oblige, but he still manipulated the ‘Zhou Tian Star Array’ to conjure stars across the sky, sweeping down with streams of the Myriad Heavens Ten Lands Sun Moon Five Stars Demon Extermination Divine Light, significantly weaker than before. . .

After all, the Zhou Tian Star Array was a fifth-tier formation; trapping this Demon Venerable posed no major issue.

“Very well. . . Allow me to show you the might of this Venerable's Red Refining Demonic Arts! ”

The Crimson Demon Venerable formed hand seals, and boundless demonic qi gathered, transforming around her into a crimson demonic serpent thousands of Zhang long. This serpent had horns on its head and coiled like a snake, swallowing streams of the Myriad Heavens Ten Lands Sun Moon Five Stars Demon Extermination Divine Light into its belly, occasionally flicking out its purple forked tongue. . . Its might was likely comparable to a Soul Transformation flood dragon!

Fang Xi once again condensed his'Zhou Tian Star Dharma Body’ and had no intention of slaying the Scarlet Demon Venerable. Instead, he smiled faintly: “Demon Venerable, I have a question. . . Why do you and the previous Demon Venerable not consider ascending to the Earthly Immortal World, but instead linger in the lower realm. . . In the lower realm, one simply cannot break through to the Return to Void stage, can they? ”

The strength of that Ao Kun Demon Venerable before had truly left Fang Xi trembling with fear.

“Lord Ao Kun does not leave; naturally, he has orders from the upper realm. . . As for what those orders are, this Venerable will naturally not tell you. ”

A hint of cunninghashing flashed in the Crimson Demon Venerable's eyes, giving Fang Xi a massive headache. He hated people who spoke in riddles the most.

Therefore. . .

“I have a sword, and I ask Demon Venerable for guidance! ”

Fang Xi let out a light shout, and the Divine Infant Sword flew out. A shrill cry like a wailing infant suddenly resounded in the void!

The palm-sized Divine Infant Sword continued to grow, transforming into a massive two-handed greatsword, which Fang Xi held and mercilessly swung at the Red-Demon venerable!

Within the void, countless blood-red lines appeared, piercing the crimson demonic serpent until it was riddled with holes.

The terrifying Divine Infant Sword qi even transformed into a bloody arc of light, landing before the Scarlet Demon Venerable!

“Impossible. . . ”

A look of astonishment flashed in the Crimson Demon Venerable's eyes. A black-red shield blocked in front of her.

Clatter!

The next moment, the black-red shield shattered into pieces, allowing that sword qi to land on her body. . .

The blood-red sword light flickered, instantly enveloping the Demon Venerable.

After everything dissolved, the Red-haired Demon Venerable stood in her original spot, her aura barely changed.

She lowered her head, gazing at a sword mark on her exquisite demonic armor, her expression turning incredibly grim: “Divine Infant Sword. . . you actually managed to refine it? ”

The true Divine Infant Sword was one of the seven great sacred artifacts of the Demon Realm!

Although this replica didn't possess the power of the original fifth-tier Numinous Treasure, it was still a peak fourth-tier item!

What’s more. . . the cultivation method she had given him contained a hidden pitfall, and the Blood River Stone was exceedingly rare; it should have been extinct in the Kyushu Realm.

How exactly did this little demon of the Human World accomplish it?

The Red Demon Venerable was utterly perplexed.

“Want to know? I won’t tell you! ”

A mischievous smile appeared on Fang Xi’s face: “Unless. . . we exchange secrets? ”

...

The Ao Kun Demon Venerable transformed into an Aspectless God-Demon, its towering demonic body existing between presence and absence, its escape speed astonishingly fast!

But when he arrived at the Myriad Li Plain, he could only see the final bolt of heavenly lightning striking down, dissipated by a rising palace!

—The Fang Xian Dao Palace!

Bathed in lightning, this palace seemed to have opened a certain seal, its aura rising to a new level, emitting ten thousand zhang of radiant light, causing the Ao Kun Demon Venerable’s expression to change instantly: “This isn’t a Numinous Treasure. . . This must be a treasure handed down from the Earthly Immortal World! ”

“Indeed, with the aid of the Soul Transformation lightning tribulation, this treasure’s seal could be unsealed. ”

The Fang Xian Dao Lord, his cultivation stable at the early Soul Transformation stage, bowed towards the Aspectless God-Demon: “Please, Fellow Daoist, make your move! ”

With this bow, Ao Kun even had the illusion that a great disaster was about to befall him.

Ao Kun’s face was ashen, and his figure suddenly vanished.

The next moment, a palace radiating ten thousand rays of light seemed to freeze in the void, swallowing the entire expanse of space within it.

...

“Ah! ”

The Red-haired Demon Venerable, who was fighting Fang Xi, seemed to sense something, letting out an exclamation and forming a hand seal.

A blood demon shadow appeared, enveloping her entire body, transforming into a faint, almost imperceptible crimson thread of escape light, which instantly broke through the Zhou Tian Star Array and vanished into the horizon. . .

As Fang Xi wondered, he saw the Fang Xian Dao Lord, holding the Fang Xian Dao Palace in his hand, transform into a clear light and descend within the great formation.

“That Demon Venerable has already been sealed by me. . . The Red Devil Venerable is simply a minor concern. ”

The Fang Xian Dao Lord looked up at space: “The demon race has increased its forces. . . perhaps when the Green Robe Demon Venerable perished, a fragment of his nascent soul or similar was shattered, revealing a clue. . . Now, let's let Red Star go for now; you and I must immediately head to the Lunar Star to provide aid! ”

“Understood. ”

Fang Xi readily agreed, his heart filled with an indescribable mix of regret and relief: ‘Slaughter Demon True Monarch, ultimately failed to take the Lunar Star? ’

The Fang Xian Dao Lord’s auspicious cloud, hovering above his head, enveloped Fang Xi, transforming into an indescribable stream of light, heading straight for the Lunar Star!

...

Deep within the Lunar Star.

Outside the Bone Altar.

Massive wreckage from patrol warships fell, and demon race bodies exploded, turning to ash. . .

The Slaughter Demon True Monarch’s Nascent Soul left his body, merging with the Candle Dragon, continuously letting out enraged roars.

Yet, in the void, there were seven pitch-black nails, pinning down the Candle Dragon’s body, preventing him from even moving. This was clearly an extremely formidable demonic treasure!

“Slay the demons! Slay the demons! ”

The Slaughter Demon True Monarch roared.

And through the communication, Gui Axe Zhenjun’s urgent voice came through: “Slaughter Demon. . . retreat quickly! I’ve detected powerful void fluctuations from the Heavenly Demon Gate; it’s likely that a Soul Transformation Demon Venerable is crossing realms! ”

“I’m unwilling. . . I was so close! ”

The Candle Dragon let out a furious roar, looking up at the sky.

The Slaughter Demon True Monarch’s counterattack on the Lunar Star had initially been very smooth, as the four Demon Venerables had all come out, and the Green Robe Avatar had perished. He had even reached the Bone Altar.

However, here, the demon race had set up a powerful grand formation, which actually managed to immobilize the Candle Dragon’s body!

Coupled with countless demon race members fighting to the death, perishing alongside numerous Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they ultimately managed to buy time.

At this moment!

The bronze gate suddenly roared.

Two pitch-black arms stretched out, one left and one right, resting upon the ancient door panels of the bronze gate!

The aura that overflowed caused the Slaughter Demon True Monarch’s Nascent Soul to tremble:

“Soul Transformation Perfected. . . ”

Such a demonic cultivator, once they unleashed their full power, could potentially be forcibly repelled and ascend instantly!

One could say, they were already the peak combat power of the lower realm!

The demonic hand resting on the bronze gate was covered in scales, and on the surface of the scales were intricate and profound patterns.

What was particularly impressive was that the demonic hand clearly had seven fingers.

A green demonic head emerged from the bronze gate, letting out a roar!

Invisible sound waves swept across the entire battlefield like sharp blades.

In an instant, one Nascent Soul cultivator after another collapsed, their eyes vacant.

“Divine Sense attack? ! ”

The Candle Dragon, formed by the Slaughter Demon True Monarch, instantly shrunk by more than half, his Nascent Soul’s small face turning pale.

“Hm? Able to withstand this Venerable’s True Demon Thorn? Cultivators of this realm are indeed somewhat special. . . ”

The green demonic head let out an earth-shattering sound, and then its ferocious demonic body also stretched out beyond the gate.

Streams of colorful light suddenly appeared in the void, transforming into chains, piercing into the demon’s torso.

“The suppression of Heaven and Earth laws, truly annoying! ”

The Qing Shou Demon Venerable muttered, then acted as if nothing had happened.

When a Soul Transformation Demon Venerable arrived in a different realm, they would inevitably be suppressed by the Heaven and Earth laws, greatly reducing their strength.

However, the arrival of this Demon Venerable actually caused the laws of the Kyushu Realm to directly manifest as ‘Chains of Laws,’ which was truly incredible, showing how much pressure he brought upon this realm!

“Where’s Ao Kun? ”

The Qing Shou Demon Venerable glanced left and right, not seeing Ao Kun, and couldn't help but sneer.

At this moment, from within the bronze gate, more Nascent Soul demonic cultivators, clad in demonic armor and possessing grotesque appearances, emerged.

“The Aspectless Demon race is also in decline. . . now it’s time for us Heavenly Berserk Battle Demons to shine. ”

The Qing Shou Demon Venerable mumbled, then looked at the Slaughter Demon True Monarch with a hint of amusement: “Human race Nascent Soul, if you can survive one strike from this Venerable, I will spare your life. . . ”

From one of the seven fingers on his right palm, a knuckle suddenly flashed, launching a crimson demonic light!

This demonic light arrived in an instant. Even if the Slaughter Demon True Monarch wanted to dodge. . . constrained by the seven demonic nails, he found it difficult to evade.

Pfft!

The crimson demonic light fell into a protective auspicious cloud, and surprisingly, it dissipated directly.

A clear light descended, revealing the figures of Fang Xi and the Fang Xian Dao Lord.

“Dao Lord. . . you have finally achieved Soul Transformation? ”

The Slaughter Demon True Monarch was overjoyed.

The Fang Xian Dao Lord gazed at the Qing Shou Demon Venerable, his expression also very solemn. He suddenly formed a hand seal, and a surge of demonic qi soared into the sky.

Within such a dense demonic qi environment, he transformed into a Soul Transformation Demon Venerable, his aura even growing: “Fang Xian Dao Lord, I invite Demon Venerable to enlighten me! ”

“Heh heh. . . so you are the leader of the human race in this realm? Cultivating a bit of messy demonic cultivation techniques, and you think you can surpass this Venerable? Very well. . . this Venerable shall let you know what true demonic arts are! ”

The Qing Shou Demon Venerable burst into laughter, suddenly revealing his God-Demon body, which was then enveloped by the Fang Xian Dao Lord’s auspicious cloud, ascending together into the heavens. . .
