A flash of blood-light.
The elderly demon's figure then appeared, roaring, "Protect the Heavenly Demon Gate!"
He spat out blood-colored talismans, and crimson chains emerged, attempting to entangle the Divine Infant Sword, like countless blood-red pythons pursuing a flying sparrow.
Seeing this, the External Avatar's eyes deepened, and he raised a hand.
Three hundred and sixty-five star pagodas rumbled, and a 'All Heavens Ten Lands Sun Moon Five Stars Demon Eradication Divine Light' surged like a torrent, striking the greatly weakened Six Desires Heavenly Demon Array.
Without someone to preside over the formation, this demonic array instantly shattered into pieces!
The elderly demon spat out another mouthful of vital blood. From within the bronze gate, the Blood Fiend Banner roared, and a stream of light flew out, transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang-long demonic banner. Its scarlet surface unfurled, covered in countless Heavenly Demon secret sigils, completely blocking the 'All Heavens Ten Lands Sun Moon Five Stars Demon Eradication Divine Light. '
Just at this moment!
He smiled faintly at the elderly demon, and from the black little seal in his hand, the phantom of the demonic tree unfurled.
——Withered Glory Mystic Light!
Back when Fang Xi fought Elder Qing, his lifespan dropped to over three thousand years. Recently, after breaking through to late-stage Nascent Soul and continuously feeding the demonic tree with Taisui meat, he had barely managed to replenish it.
Now, under the perception of the Mystic Light, he discovered that this elderly demon only had a little over five hundred years of lifespan remaining, so he didn't hesitate to sweep it!
The demonic Nascent Soul within the elderly demon's body opened its eyes in terror, abruptly realizing that it had fallen into the Five Declines and was rapidly disintegrating.
The elderly demon's face was covered in wrinkles, its Nascent Soul Perfected cultivation rapidly dissipating, as it died from exhausted lifespan!
At the same time, Fang Xi slashed his Green Reaping Sword, transforming it into billions of Green Reaping Needles that encircled a demon.
Another grey-white pagoda landed on the head of a demon.
Gui Axe Zhenjun roared, not using the 'Six Destructions Secret Art,' but still quickly managed to stall a demon.
In an instant, five of the seven great demons originally left by the Green Head Demon Venerable to guard the Heavenly Demon Gate were gone!
Fang Xi smiled faintly, transforming into a streak of green light. The Five Elements Ring rumbled, forcibly taking the attacks of the remaining two great demons' demon sabers and demon swords, as he arrived before the Heavenly Demon Gate!
"Finally. . ."
He sighed, extending his palm to caress the ancient, mottled doors of the bronze gate.
Boom!
A blinding silver-white radiance suddenly erupted. The bronze gate vanished instantly, replaced by a slightly mottled bronze mirror knob, the size of a child's fist.
This mirror knob trembled slightly, then vanished, fusing with the All-Heavens Precious Mirror held by Fang Xi's Nascent Soul, making it impossible to separate them ever again.
Fang Xi had no time to sense anything else. He immediately waved his hand, retrieving the Green Reaping Sword and his other spiritual treasures, then vanished in a flash. . .
Above the white bone altar, the remaining five great demons gazed at the empty space where the bronze gate had been, seeing only the Blood Fiend Banner suspended in mid-air. For an instant, they couldn't help but feel they were deluded by inner demons, experiencing an illusion. . .
"That was a treasure anchored by the Blood Fiend Banner, how could it be taken away so easily?"
A long time later, a Nascent Soul demon finally let out a wail.
The bronze gate was gone; how were they supposed to return to the Demon Realm now?
'It's not that the main body didn't want to take the Blood Fiend Banner; he simply didn't have the time. . . The opportunity was fleeting, and that Green Head Demon Venerable is probably going to go mad! '
The External Avatar, observing this scene, was well aware of the situation.
As for how the bronze gate was taken?
Before the inherent prestige of the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, the Blood Fiend Banner was simply nothing!
Otherwise, it wouldn't have allowed him to escape so easily from the previous Blood Fiend Space.
Now, seeing the main body return to the Western Desert Cultivation World, he felt greatly reassured.
In any case, his minimum objective had been achieved!
Whatever happened next, it would be within an acceptable range.
But the demons on the Taiyin Star battlefield immediately went ballistic!
The bronze gate had vanished; didn't that mean they could no longer return to the Demon Realm?
No. . . in truth, they still could, for instance, by waiting for a 'Realm Descent' to occur in the Kyushu World in the future?
But even so, there was no guarantee that the other side would be the Demon Realm!
Large numbers of demons wailed, some rushing towards the muzzles of the sky-patrolling warships, while others transformed into streaks of various colored light, fleeing towards the outskirts of Taiyin Star.
"Who. . . was that? !"
Gui Axe Zhenjun was slightly puzzled. The aura of the True Monarch who had just appeared seemed somewhat similar to that of the Law Enforcement Hall Master?
'In any case. . . being able to close the Heavenly Demon Gate is a great thing. The Law Enforcement Hall Master. . . will return the bronze gate later. . . right? '
If Fang Xi knew Gui Axe Zhenjun's thoughts at this moment, he would surely roll his eyes.
How could the fragments that this grand artifact, the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, had fused with ever be returned?
However, at this moment, he did not utter such words; he simply extended a hand.
Three hundred and sixty-five starry light pillars descended, forming the Dharma Body of the Lord of the Universal Stars. A giant hand, composed entirely of starlight, fell, instantly slapping a late-stage Nascent Soul demon into a pulp.
"Go!"
Witnessing this, the Nascent Soul demons near the white bone altar also knew the tide had turned. They roared savagely, each employing Blood Shadow Escape and other techniques to depart.
Fang Xi paid them no mind. With a sweep of his large hand, he reached out to seize the Blood Fiend Banner!
A fifth-rank void-attribute Numinous Treasure that could transform and possessed sentience! In terms of rarity, it could even rival the Fang Xian Dao Palace before its seals were undone!
However, none of those demons had entertained the idea of taking the Blood Fiend Banner with them, naturally because the banner was difficult to control.
The elderly demon's blood talismans, after his death, dissipated into a wisp of green smoke.
Buzz!
Before the giant hand formed by the Star Dharma Body could grasp the Blood Fiend Banner, the Blood Fiend Banner roared. Countless Heavenly Demon secret sigils surfaced on its surface, breaking free from the starry hand, transforming into a bloody streak of light, and plunging into the dark clouds above.
From within the dark clouds, a furious roar from the Green Head Demon Venerable seemed to echo.
"The Heavenly Demon Gate?"
The Green Head Demon Venerable's Divine Consciousness naturally perceived everything. At this moment, his eyes darted around: "No matter what, first kill the Fang Xian Dao Master. . . Regardless of how the Heavenly Demon Gate was taken, it's still in this realm. We'll search every mountain and sea; we'll find it eventually and reopen it!"
The Green Head Demon Venerable let out a demonic roar, and countless demonic clouds surged forth madly, pressing in on the True Martial Auspicious Cloud.
He shook the Blood Fiend Banner, and the banner immediately transformed into a bloody streak of light, within which countless Heavenly Demon secret sigils flickered, violently crashing into a palace complex.
The Green Head Demon Venerable attached great importance to the Fang Xian Dao Palace in the Fang Xian Dao Master's hands.
After all, this Numinous Treasure was the Fang Xian Dao Master's reliance for continuously contending with him.
In truth, if he knew that Ao Kun was also sealed within this Dao Palace, he would likely be even more astonished.
"Finally. . . has it come to this step?"
"Zhang Huohua. . . is indeed the fated one."
Within the True Martial Auspicious Cloud, the Fang Xian Dao Master cast a nostalgic glance back at the Kyushu World.
The next moment, he pointed at the Fang Xian Dao Palace above his head.
The Dao Palace rumbled, its magical power fluctuations surging progressively. Countless immortal palaces and jade halls, towering pavilions and grotto-mansions even appeared, transforming into a complete immortal dwelling.
Ten thousand streams of auspicious aura descended, blocking the ten-thousand-zhang streak of light formed by the Blood Fiend Banner from entering.
"Sixth-rank. . . a treasure refined by a Return to Void cultivator?"
The Green Head Demon Venerable's eyes, wide as copper bells, seemed to finally realize why Ao Kun had been defeated!
"Demon Venerable, please accompany this Venerable on your journey!"
The Fang Xian Dao Master let out a long laugh. A wondrous light erupted from within the Fang Xian Dao Palace, grand in momentum and terrifying to the extreme!
The Green Head Demon Venerable grew incredibly solemn, pouring his Soul Transformation Perfected magical power ceaselessly into the Blood Fiend Banner. The Numinous Treasure's true form grew ten thousand zhang tall, its scarlet banner surface blocking before him.
The next moment, the wondrous light surged forth, but it wasn't some mystic light attack; instead, it was streaks of pure demonic qi!
The Green Head Demon Venerable's demonic art involuntarily stirred, absorbing these streaks of pure demonic qi, seeming to recover to his peak.
He instantly reacted: "Not good!"
As a Soul Transformation Perfected cultivator, he could actually ascend to the Earthly Immortal World at any time, but he had been forcefully suppressing it.
And at this moment, the magical power circulating within him seemed to break through a certain limit!
The Kyushu World rumbled, and a massive repulsive force erupted, causing heavenly flowers to fall like rain and golden lotuses to gush from the earth around the Green Head Demon Venerable. . . A colossal pillar of light shot up into the sky!
The pillar of light soared into the Nine Heavens, seemingly opening a void passage.
Through the passage, one could vaguely see a world even more vast and filled with more abundant Heaven and Earth spiritual energy!
"The Earthly Immortal World! ?"
At this instant, both sides fighting on the Taiyin defense line even ceased their magical combat, gazing at that illusory sky.
As a cultivator, whether human or demon, ascending to the Earthly Immortal World was the greatest goal of cultivation!
And now, that goal was right before their eyes!
Unfortunately, without reaching Soul Transformation, one didn't even have the qualifications to merely brush against such an ascension passage; they would undoubtedly be crushed into blood and gore by the inter-realm void pressure!
"Early-stage and mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivators. . . can ascend through the 'Ascension Platform'. . ."
"While Soul Transformation Perfected cultivators can even open void passages themselves. . ."
Fang Xi, watching this scene, also felt his horizons broaden.
"No!"
The Green Head Demon Venerable roared, a Heavenly Demon Secret Talisman emerging above his head, attempting to suppress the magical power throughout his body.
Precisely at this moment, a silver light flashed.
A hand reached out from the void, easily plucking away the Heavenly Demon Secret Talisman!
The Fang Xian Dao Palace was of extremely high rank and a void treasure; in its manipulation of void power, it was only more profoundly mysterious and unfathomable than the Blood Fiend Banner.
Losing this talisman, Old Demon Green Head roared, no longer able to control the magical power throughout his body. He transformed into a colossal god-demon, ascending all the way along the void passage.
The Fang Xian Dao Palace transformed into a cluster of palaces, completely encircling this demon. The Fang Xian Dao Master actually ascended along with it!
To force this demon's ascension without harming the Kyushu World, the Fang Xian Dao Master clearly paid a massive price, intending to journey with this demon lord!
However, as a Soul Transformation cultivator who also controlled the Fang Xian Dao Palace, he should be able to smoothly ascend to the Earthly Immortal World!
Whoosh!
As the tall god-demon burst into the Earthly Immortal World's phantom, the ascension passage closed, and the various auspicious phenomena of heavenly flowers and golden lotuses also vanished without a trace.
Tumo Venerable and Gui Axe Zhenjun both watched the Fang Xian Dao Master ascend, performing an ancient Daoist salute of the Kyushu World: "Congratulations, Dao Master, on your ascension!"
'The Fang Xian Dao Master actually ascended. . . '
Fang Xi, watching this scene, felt equally emotional.
With the Green Head Demon Venerable's ascension, this chaos of the Moon Demons in the Kyushu World was finally coming to an end!
