Chapter 602: Valley God's Demise (Requesting Monthly Votes)
‘This formation within the Valley God Mystic Realm is incredibly profound. It must have been laid by an Array Grandmaster, constantly extracting the Valley God’s power to reinforce the seal. . . and even using its life essence to cultivate Gu worms. . . ’
‘I wonder if, after drawing out the Valley God’s essence and soul, I could refine a second ‘Fortune Gu’. . . ’
Fang Xi mused to himself, but he knew it would be difficult.
He didn't have the formula for the 'Fortune Gu'. Even if he wanted to improve the one he already possessed, he wouldn't know where to start.
Moreover, he wasn't a Gu Cultivator; he viewed Gu worms purely as tools to be used when convenient. As for observing fortune, seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster, and so on. . .
Ultimately, it all depended on his own strength.
As long as his power was overwhelming, any danger could be easily overcome, and he could even turn a bloody calamity into his enemies’ misfortune.
"Open the formation!"
Having made up his mind, Fang Xi spoke to Jin Guang Chanshi and the others.
Jin Guang Chanshi and the other Nascent Soul cultivators dared not delay, each taking out their formation flags, tokens, and other core components, continuously channeling spiritual power into them.
The layers of mist dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the Valley God Mystic Realm.
However, the entrance to the mystic realm was already completely altered, leaving only a crimson light barrier.
Behind the light barrier, countless green demon qi surged, faintly revealing a gigantic face.
The face had distinct features, radiating a malevolent aura, and its form was unlike that of a human. Its mouth continuously opened and closed, emitting deafening roars: "Valley God. . . Valley God!"
Just hearing the sound made Jin Guang Chanshi and the other few Nascent Soul cultivators feel their blood and qi churn, as if their spiritual power was on the verge of dissipating.
"Amitabha. . ."
Jin Guang Chanshi clasped his hands into the fearless mudra, performing a Lion's Roar: "How can outer demons disturb my Zen heart!"
Roar! Roar!
Faintly, a golden lion's head appeared in the void, its fur pure gold, with countless runes floating within it, emitting a thunderous roar like a direct blow to the head.
The three Nascent Soul cultivators finally reacted, retreating dozens of miles as if fleeing from a snake or scorpion, before thanking Jin Guang Chanshi: "Thank you, Senior Cultivator, for your assistance. . ."
"Alas, only now do I realize that the difference between us and a Soul Transformation cultivator is like that between clouds and mud. . ."
Jin Guang Chanshi looked at the unmoving Fang Xi, a bitter smile on his face, yet his eyes held a fervent longing.
As cultivators, who wouldn't wish to break through to a higher realm?
"Wind, come!"
Fang Xi paid no attention to the mere Nascent Soul cultivators; he simply raised his hand.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless azure light clusters flickered between heaven and earth. A vast amount of wind-attribute spiritual energy gathered, transforming into streaks of wind-attribute divine light.
This divine light was incredibly pure and ethereal. In Fang Xi's hands, it turned into a gentle, caressing breeze, blowing into the crimson light barrier.
Wind fueled the fire!
In an instant, the crimson light barrier blazed with intense brilliance.
Streaks of fire-attribute divine light transformed into flood dragons, continuously refining the Valley God Demon Venerable's green demon qi!
"The Valley God is immortal!"
The gigantic face roared, and streaks of purple, snake-like demon qi surged from its cavernous mouth, continuously perishing alongside the fire-attribute flood dragons in mutual destruction.
"Lightning, come!"
Seeing this, Fang Xi remained unhurried, performing another hand seal.
Crack!
Above the sky, countless dark clouds gathered, and streaks of lightning flashed, resembling innumerable electric pythons entwined, transforming into a ferocious lightning dragon that crashed down with a boom!
Even though these were lightning spells and not like heavenly tribulations that contained the might of the heavens, they still caused a hint of fear to appear on the enormous human-like face.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the world turned white!
A blinding lightning dragon struck, smashing onto the colossal human-like face.
The face was instantly blown open with a gaping hole, and countless chunks of flesh and blood splattered.
But quickly, the splattered flesh and blood seemed to possess sentience and intelligence, flying back on their own and settling into the cavity.
With a flash of azure light, the indentation on the giant face vanished, looking as if it had suffered no damage at all!
"As expected, it's the Immortal Body!"
Fang Xi smiled faintly. His previous manipulation of wind and lightning was not to kill the Valley God Demon Venerable, but to attract its attention.
At this moment, strands of divine sense materialized from the void, entering various parts of the mystic realm.
Clatter! Clatter!
Semi-transparent chains emerged from the void, layer upon layer, coiling around the Valley God Demon Venerable.
Countless streaks of green demon qi dispersed.
At this point, Fang Xi finally saw the Valley God Demon Venerable’s true form!
Its body was bluish-black like a dog, colossal like a small mountain, yet it bore a human face, now contorted in a terrifying, ferocious expression.
"From your current state, even without the mystic realm's restraints, I fear you are no match for me. . ."
Fang Xi sighed with emotion. His Soul Transformation spiritual power surged forth, activating the grand array within the mystic realm.
Streaks of array patterns appeared from the ground, seemingly siphoning the Valley God Demon Venerable's power, causing the ferocity on its face to gradually dissipate, replaced by bewilderment. Soon, it lay prostrate on the ground, falling into a deep slumber. . .
Not far away, Jin Guang Chanshi, seeing this, couldn't help but beam with delight.
"As expected of a Soul Transformation cultivator, a single move can force this Demon Venerable into slumber. . . If the mystic realm's seal is reinforced now, sealing this demon for another thousand years would be no problem at all."
But Fang Xi had gone through such great lengths not to reseal this demon for another few centuries!
He flicked his hand, and a sphere of water appeared in the void, continuously expanding.
A jade gourd tilted, and half a mass of purple medicinal liquid poured into it, constantly transforming into the shapes of various poisons.
"Go!"
Fang Xi pointed at the Valley God Demon Venerable. The mass of medicinal liquid descended, enveloping the demon's massive body, seeping into its seven apertures.
Soon, the Valley God Demon Venerable began to tremble violently.
"Valley God!"
It abruptly opened its eyes, from which purple blood flowed out!
"Hurry!"
Fang Xi's expression remained unchanged as he raised his hand and grabbed.
Even though he could manipulate the power of various elements, his true specialty remained the 'Taiyi Azure Wood Divine Light'!
Puff!
A streak of azure light flashed, forming a crescent moon shape, sweeping across the Valley God's face, leaving a smooth gash.
This time, a large amount of blood overflowed from the Valley God's wound, astonishingly not flowing back!
"Once your Immortal Body is broken, you are merely a Soul Transformation demon beast. . . and a mad one at that, extremely easy to deal with."
Fang Xi clasped his hands in a seal, and the suppression within the mystic realm suddenly intensified!
Immediately, transparent chains pierced straight into the Valley God's body, and a large amount of fresh blood surged out, staining the chains. . .
"Die!"
He brought his hands together, then pulled sharply.
A rainbow of azure light, hundreds of feet long, appeared and swept across the Valley God Demon Venerable's neck.
Bang!
The colossal head first paused slightly in a daze, then crashed to the ground with a thud, a torrent of blood gushing out like a waterfall.
In the pool of blood, a demon core the size of an adult human head emerged, surrounded by dense green demon qi.
"By decree!"
Fang Xi's expression remained unchanged. A bolt of lightning struck, directly hitting the demon core.
Within the demon core, the faint phantom of the Valley God Demon Venerable could be seen. Struck by the lightning, it immediately dissipated by more than half.
Buzz!
A small, grayish-white pagoda floated above the demon core, suddenly emitting a terrifying suction force.
Rings of grayish-white light descended, with countless runes flashing within the radiant glow, sucking the demon soul into the pagoda.
Deprived of its demon soul, the demon core immediately became lifeless, falling from mid-air. Fang Xi sent a spell to collect it into a jade box.
"This. . ."
Not far away, Jin Guang Chanshi and the others, seeing this, were all incredulous.
This was a Soul Transformation demon venerable that even ancient cultivators of mighty divine abilities couldn't do anything about, yet it was slain so easily?
For Fang Xi, the matter was indeed very simple.
After all, the Valley God Demon Venerable's most formidable Immortal Body had been broken, and it was in a semi-sealed state, like a mad dog confined in an iron cage, posing little threat. . . What's more, after being sealed for so many years, its vital energy was already severely depleted.
Not every Soul Transformation demon venerable was as monstrous as the Black Taisui of the East Sea.
A blue light flashed in Fang Xi's hand, and the Mountain Sea Pearl appeared, collecting the Valley God Demon Venerable's corpse, not letting a single drop of blood escape.
‘The Demonic Tree cannot yet produce Soul Transformation puppets. . . ’
‘This Soul Transformation demon venerable's corpse can be transformed into flesh and blood, serving as cultivation resources for the Demonic Tree's advancement. . . The demon soul and demon core also have great uses. ’
Fang Xi secretly made a decision in his heart.
Such a remnant of a Soul Transformation demon venerable certainly couldn't be wasted.
As for the 'Thousand Ultimate Poison'? He naturally had a method to counteract it.
Furthermore. . . Fang Xi even wondered if this kind of secondary-processed poison could still affect the Ancestral Demonic Tree. . .
...
For the next period, Fang Xi did not leave. Instead, he thoroughly explored the Valley God Mystic Realm.
As a mystic realm sealed by ancient cultivators, this small world contained quite a few good things.
Last time, due to the danger and haste, he only took a single piece of blood river stone, which was quite a waste of treasure.
Fortunately, now that the Valley God Demon Venerable was dealt with, the entire mystic realm was his for the taking.
On a patch of grass, countless strange Gu worms fluttered, forming colorful light clusters that swirled around a young man.
The young man leaned against an ancient tree, holding a bronze cauldron in his hand, carefully observing the inscriptions on it.
"The Valley God Mystic Realm truly is a Gu Cultivator's mystic realm. . . Most of its products are related to Gu Cultivation."
After a long while, Fang Xi put down the bronze cauldron and sighed.
He had originally wanted to heavily plunder the resources within the mystic realm to recoup his previous lavish expenditures.
It seemed now that things were not as satisfactory as he had hoped.
After all, most of the mystic realm's contents were Gu cultivation spirit materials, which would be difficult to sell unless he happened upon a high-level Gu cultivator.
Fortunately, while top-tier materials like the 'blood river stone' were scarce, there were still some, preventing Fang Xi from being completely disappointed.
"Fortune Gu. . ."
He closed his eyes, and a portion of the Gu cultivation inheritance obtained from this mystic realm flowed slowly before his mind's eye, like clear spring water.
"To achieve self-perfection by absorbing the essence of myriad Gu. . . The refinement of a Fortune Gu also requires fortune and serendipity. . . Although this Gu worm is extraordinary, advancing it is extremely difficult."
Fang Xi frowned.
Obtaining the refinement method for the 'Fortune Gu' and its future upgrade path within the mystic realm was naturally a joyous occasion.
But the terrifying requirements, along with various spiritual items and Gu worms he had never even heard of, made his head ache.
‘Since things have come to this, I'll just casually look into it and not force it. . . ’
‘Gu worms are merely tools. If the opportunity arises in the future, I'll upgrade them. If not, then so be it. . . ’
Fang Xi secretly made his decision.
