Chapter 550: Black Taisui (Seeking Monthly Votes)
Swish!
The Crack Sea Beast, riding its escape light, flew to a certain sea region.
All around was desolate; the spiritual energy didn't seem particularly abundant, nor were there any islands.
Shui Lingxin quietly closed her eyes for a moment, then a hint of joy appeared on her face: "The core of the Boundless Sea Realm. . . the Boundless Sea Hall, is right here. Senior, please part the great sea."
"This Crack Sea Beast's other divine abilities are ordinary, but it uniquely possesses the innate talent to split mountains and cleave seas. It truly is perfect for this situation."
Fang Xi chuckled, stomping his foot.
The Crack Sea Beast let out a roar, opening its flood dragon mouth.
A strange light flew out, landing on the azure sea surface.
"Hmm?"
On the dried seabed, Fang Xi saw an ancient bronze hall.
This hall was ancient and mottled; its bronze walls bore many traces of rust, and many were covered in barnacles and seaweed.
"Something's not right. . ."
He closed his eyes, sweeping with his Divine Consciousness, yet this hall actually didn't exist within it. . .
"It's not isolation, but a stealth-like effect!"
Fang Xi muttered in his heart: "This seems to be some kind of formation. . . quite interesting."
He could now be sure that although this bronze Boundless Sea Hall appeared on the surface to have endured the vicissitudes of time, in reality, its formation was still operating, and its general condition must be quite good.
'In other words. . . all sorts of restrictions are in place. This is indeed a bit troublesome. '
Fang Xi put away the Crack Sea Beast and came with Shui Lingxin to the main entrance of the bronze hall.
Seeing the gate tightly shut, he let out a cold snort and flicked his finger lightly.
The Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light transformed into an extremely fine emerald-green thread, landing on the bronze hall door.
Buzz!
On the bronze door, streaks of shimmering, multicolored runes flickered, jointly forming a certain restriction that bounced the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light away!
"The restrictions here are extraordinary; I'm afraid even Soul Transformation cultivators would find it difficult to forcefully break through. . ."
Fang Xi concluded: "Next. . . it will be up to you, Fairy."
He smiled faintly, his hands tucked into his wide sleeves. Without a sound, he planted the 'Qi Luck Gu' on Shui Lingxin.
This female cultivator not only possessed a spiritual body and superior spiritual roots, but was also taken as a personal disciple by a Soul Transformation Venerable. Her overall fortune was naturally extraordinary!
But Fang Xi didn't go for the kill. Secretly, through the 'Taiyi Scripture', he commanded the 'Qi Luck Gu' to simply lie dormant.
The most crucial thing was to mark this woman's location, lest she enter the bronze hall and use various restrictions to shake him off, or even harbor ill intentions.
'If this woman had any schemes, the Qi Luck Gu would precisely counteract them. . . With her fortune weakened, she might, by some unforeseen coincidence, suffer the consequences of her own actions. Treasures and opportunities would be the same. . . '
Fang Xi watched Shui Lingxin, whose hands were pressed against the bronze gate, his eyes slightly narrowed.
A moment later, Shui Lingxin opened her eyes.
The bronze hall suddenly rumbled, erupting with intense spiritual light.
The mottled walls instantly looked brand new, all sorts of seaweed and barnacles vanished, and a dense ball of spiritual light shot into the sky, stirring up the winds and clouds, forming astonishing celestial phenomena!
"What's going on?"
Fang Xi frowned, looking at Shui Lingxin.
Shui Lingxin, however, gritted her teeth and pushed with both hands.
Boom!
The great gate of the bronze hall burst open, revealing unfathomable darkness behind it.
"Reporting to Senior, the opening of this bronze hall will inevitably cause phenomena. . . this cannot be concealed. Within this hall, Divine Consciousness is suppressed, and it is divided into three layers. . . The Hanhai Heart is on the third layer."
Shui Lingxin said: "Once one enters the Boundless Sea Hall, they will be teleported to the first layer to undergo some kind of trial. . ."
"A trial? It seems the internal space here has also been specially refined. . ."
Fang Xi muttered, then looked at Shui Lingxin again to see if she had anything else to say.
"As soon as we enter the bronze gate, we should immediately be separated to undergo our respective trials. . ."
Shui Lingxin said: "Senior, there's no need to worry; I have my own way to protect myself. We can rendezvous on the third layer."
Fang Xi glanced thoughtfully at Shui Lingxin, then looked at the wind and cloud phenomena above the sky, and couldn't help but smile: "Very well. . ."
The two entered the Boundless Sea Hall together; a flash of light appeared, and their figures both vanished.
A moment later, a white escape light streaked over—it was none other than the White Bone Old Demon!
He gazed at the ancient bronze hall on the seabed, then suddenly gritted his teeth and directly entered it with his escape light.
Not long after, more escape lights appeared. Among them were both Nascent Soul and Core Formation cultivators, clearly all attracted by these astonishing phenomena.
"Celestial phenomena, could it be that a great treasure has appeared?"
"Sigh. . . this place has already become a hotbed of trouble. We are but mere Core Formation cultivators, how could we possibly snatch food from the hands of Nascent Soul old monsters? Let's go, let's go. . ."
"If we don't fight for it, how will we ever form a Nascent Soul in the future? Perhaps this treasure is destined for me. . ."
Most of the experienced but under-cultivated cultivators, upon seeing this scene, shook their heads and left one after another.
While a portion of Core Formation cultivators stubbornly followed the Nascent Soul cultivators ahead, one after another, they charged into the ancient bronze hall. . .
...
Darkness surged in. Fang Xi's expression remained unchanged; he merely used the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light to form a layer of emerald-green light shield, covering his entire body, holding the Five Elements Ring in his hand.
After a bout of dizziness, he found himself in a different world.
He released his Divine Consciousness, but found it felt as heavy as a thousand jun. His Divine Consciousness, which previously could spread for hundreds of li, could now only extend a few li.
"It can actually suppress my Divine Consciousness. . . A fifth-tier formation!"
Fang Xi muttered, already prepared to use the 'All-Heavens Precious Mirror' to escape for his life should an accident occur.
At this moment, his suppressed Divine Consciousness could only detect that this was a swamp.
And in the depths of his being, Fang Xi felt a faint sense of danger.
He no longer hesitated, chanting a spell incantation.
In an instant, a set of crimson and azure armor appeared on his body—it was none other than the Heavenly Phoenix Flood Dragon Armor!
The Five Elements Ring transformed into a five-colored lotus flower, slowly rotating above Fang Xi's head.
The next instant, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his ten fingers flickered continuously as streaks of Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light flew out, landing in the swamp.
Pfft!
Countless streams of water flew everywhere, and a pitch-black 'meatball' leaped out of the water!
Seeing this 'meatball', Fang Xi couldn't help but be startled again, because it seemed to be a. . .
"A Taisui? ! A black-colored Taisui? A Black Taisui? Is it another mutated bloodline?"
Fang Xi muttered, his expression involuntarily turning solemn.
Because the demonic qi of this Black Taisui had actually reached the fourth-tier superior-grade level!
'If Shui Lingxin also encountered this level of danger, I'm afraid she would be gone. . . Perhaps it depends on the individual's cultivation level? '
Although this Black Taisui's cultivation had reached fourth-tier superior-grade, Fang Xi didn't care much.
After all, Taisui's combat strength is utterly useless!
His own (Taisui) had been cut for meat for years, and it was too lazy to resist—no, it was too lazy to even move a muscle!
"This one, after its bloodline mutated, is quite active. . ."
Fang Xi, with a mindset to give it a try, sent the Green Reaping Sword flying directly out. It transformed into a hundred-zhang long azure flood dragon, pouncing down with bared fangs and claws.
Buzz!
Streaks of earthy yellow light flickered on the Black Taisui's body; the ground trembled, and one after another, 'Hunyuan Stones' appeared, smashing towards the azure flood dragon.
Pfft!
The Green Reaping Sword was incomparably sharp; even the refined earth-element Hunyuan Stones were easily cleaved apart.
The sword light's momentum did not decrease. Under the propulsion of Fang Xi's magic power, the flood dragon's sharp claws extended, like a cloud dragon reaching out its claw, tearing apart a layer of defensive shield around the Black Taisui, then landing on the Taisui's body.
Pfft!
The Black Taisui split open, revealing a deep wound.
At the wound, yet, strangely, no blood flowed out. . .
"Hmph!"
Fang Xi formed a sword incantation with his hand; the Green Reaping Sword suddenly transformed into countless azure threads filling the sky, continuously cutting the Black Taisui.
The Black Taisui let out low roars, but found it difficult to resist such a 'Sword Thread Transformation' method. Chunks of its flesh were swiftly cut off. . .
"It startled me; it seems that even a fourth-tier superior-grade mutated Black Taisui's strength is still at the bottom among demon beasts of the same tier. . ."
Fang Xi muttered, then his expression suddenly changed.
Chirp!
The Heavenly Phoenix Flood Dragon Armor rumbled for no reason; streaks of raging flames formed on the armor, scorching the void.
Fang Xi's expression changed: "Taiyi!"
"Master, the proportion of certain special particles in the void has increased. . . suspected to possess vitality. . . it is advised to avoid inhaling them into the body."
Taiyi's sweet voice sounded.
"As expected. . ."
Fang Xi let out a bitter laugh: "I didn't expect the tricks I've always used against others would one day fall upon my own head. . . Fortunately, I know the reason, so it's not a big problem."
His sword incantation changed; the Azure Glow Needles instantly vanished without a trace.
And if the perspective was zoomed in to the femtometer level, one could see countless femtometer-level 'Invisible Needles' rapidly piercing spore-like objects.
These spores continuously spread from within the Black Taisui's body, actually filling the entire void!
"This Black Taisui's innate divine ability should be 'Myriad Transformations'. . . If I hadn't long ago thought of ways to deal with such a method with the Green Reaping Sword, and wasn't wearing the Heavenly Phoenix Flood Dragon Armor, it would really be a bit troublesome. . ."
A flash of light appeared in Fang Xi's hand; a small grayish-white pagoda emerged, emitting a layer of grayish-white light curtain, shrouding his entire body within it.
Those Black Taisui spores that could originally penetrate the Five Elements Ring's rainbow light defense suddenly vanished after entering this layer of grayish-white light curtain!
Using void treasures to defend against femtometer spirit artifacts—this was also a valuable experience gained by the Demon Race after suffering painful lessons!
This Black Taisui was truly unlucky. With this move, it could perhaps kill ninety-nine percent of all cultivators in the world.
But Fang Xi himself had previously loved using invisible needles to scheme against others, and had long pondered solutions for when he was targeted in such a manner.
At this point, even if there were trace amounts of spores in the void, or rather, Black Taisui clones, they would find it difficult to enter the void light curtain, which was equivalent to pulling out a tiger's claws and teeth.
Fang Xi therefore no longer hesitated. The Five Elements Ring flew out, transforming into a giant five-colored lotus, heavily smashing onto that mass of Black Taisui!
The Green Reaping Sword followed closely behind; countless invisible fine threads cut the Black Taisui, suddenly converging inward!
The Black Taisui violently exploded, then was completely incinerated by streaks of Yi Wood True Fire in mid-air.
Fang Xi raised his hand and waved, retrieving the spirit artifact. A black demonic core landed in his palm.
After all this was done, the world suddenly changed.
He was actually teleported into a pavilion. In front, there was a line of ancient seal script, and three jade platforms emitting light.
"Merit for slaying the demon. . . Choose one of three items?"
Fang Xi muttered, reading out the ancient seal script.
