Chapter 692: Surprise Attack

"Why is this cultivation art incomplete, only reaching the early Return to Void stage? ! "

After a brief scan of the cultivation art, the external Avatar frowned again and coldly glared at the Red refining.

"Master, please allow me to explain. . . A cultivation method that can reach peak Return to Void is quite important even among the Demon Race. . ."

Scarlet Demon Venerable's face was full of appreciation, tinged with a hint of grievance.

The External Avatar immediately understood, a cold sneer forming in his heart as he said expressionlessly, "Next time. . . bring the complete cultivation art, and you shall earn your freedom!"

He didn't give the Red-haired Demon Venerable a chance to speak further, transforming into a streak of demonic light that soared directly into the sky and disappeared. . .

The Red Refining Demon Venerable watched the direction Fang Xi had left, her expression becoming incredibly complex.

...

"Senior Yuǎn Lí!"

Red refining Demon Venerable bowed respectfully. From the void around her, a demonic creature materialized.

It was a colossal eyeball with two pairs of wings!

The aura it emanated was only at the Divine Transformation level, but its spiritual sense fluctuations were unfathomable. It was clearly the External Avatar of a Return to Void Elder Demon!

"Is this the person? You've done well. . ."

YunN Lí's avatar circled Red-Demon Venerable, its eyeball seemed to hold a hint of a smile: "I was originally dispatched to investigate why the human race suddenly became vigilant. . . I didn't expect to stumble upon such an unexpected gain. That person. . . is truly an ascender from the Kyushu Realm?"

"Indeed, and before his ascension, he was the new leader of the Fang Xian Dao Palace."

Red refining Demon Venerable replied respectfully.

She had been sent out by Fang Xi to find a demonic channel, which was when Yuǎn Lí had noticed her.

After slightly revealing her Return to Void cultivation, she naturally dared not resist.

"Leader of the Fang Xian Dao Palace. . . Heh heh, what virtue or ability does this person possess to dare call himself the leader of the Fang Xian Dao Palace?"

Yuǎn Lí's avatar held a hint of solemnity: "The true leader of the Fang Xian Dao Palace is a peerless talent, capable of fighting Return to Void cultivators at the Divine Transformation stage, breaking through realms as easily as eating and drinking, and even gaining the recognition of a supreme treasure. . . Currently, the six Kings of the Demon Race are all extremely interested in this person. If we can obtain intelligence regarding his whereabouts, it would definitely be a great achievement."

It glared at Red-Demon Venerable: "At that time. . . your and my rewards will also be exceedingly generous."

Reddy's expression was grave: "I only seek to have my restriction removed. . ."

"The restriction on your body is indeed a bit troublesome, especially since a part of your demonic soul has been taken away. . ."

Yuǎn Lí's avatar said: "After this time, that person's vigilance will decrease, and this Venerable will finally have mastered that secret art. When the next time comes, this Venerable's true body will emerge from seclusion and lay in ambush to seize this person after you complete the transaction with him and regain your freedom. . ."

Red refining Demon Venerable sighed softly in her heart.

When she was approached by this Return to Void demon, she had no choice.

More crucially, she had also signed the Immortal Spirit Covenant, making it impossible to reveal many pieces of information.

Of course, Fang Xi would never have imagined that he would attract trouble from the Demon Race because of his identity as the "Leader of the Fang Xian Dao Palace"!

"Rest assured. . . once this Venerable's secret art is complete, even if that person activates the restriction, temporarily preserving your life won't be a big problem. At that time, we can go meet a Void Amalgamation Lord, and it will naturally be dispelled. . ."

The winged eyeball had not finished speaking when a trace of shock suddenly appeared in its massive pupil.

Roar!

The next moment, a pitch-black long river, mixed with a dragon's roar, crashed down!

Whoosh!

Nine Serenities Netherworld River Sand Grand Array!

A vast, inky black Netherworld River surged forth, covering the sky and earth. Red refining Demon Venerable, engulfed by the Profound Nether Heavy Water, actually felt her magic power continuously dissolving. . .

She was immediately startled, a crimson light flickering behind her as she prepared to draw upon the world's spiritual energy and transform into a Divine Demon body.

The next instant, countless blood marks suddenly appeared on Red-Demon Venerable's body.

The blood marks writhed, like lines of a curse, filling her face with horror: "Master. . . you. . ."

The next moment, her aura vanished, swept into the deepest part of the Nine Serenities Netherworld River. . .

This woman had long been subjected to Fang Xi's restriction; taking her life was but a thought away.

"A sixth-tier Return to Void treasure? !"

The winged eyeball floated in mid-air, emitting waves of terrifying demonic qi.

The dense demonic qi transformed into a shield, blocking the relentless Profound Nether Divine Sand.

"What audacity. . . to dare ambush this Venerable?"

It seemed to pierce through layers of mist, directly seeing the External Avatar beyond the boundless heavy water, and roared furiously.

"Hmph, you and this woman plotted against me; do you expect me to simply wait to be slaughtered?"

The External Avatar held the Netherworld Banner, giving it a gentle shake. A phantom of a flood dragon emerged, exuding a terrifying might.

Not only that, a layer of strange mist diffused outwards, and upon contact with the demonic qi shield, it immediately emitted a violent corrosive sound.

This was the venom of a sixth-tier Return to Void venomous flood dragon!

Even a Divine Transformation cultivator would be poisoned to death if they were not careful!

Yuǎn Lí's avatar immediately braced for a formidable foe, shooting out strange beams of light from its eyes.

This avatar of his was a demonic secret art, specifically refined from the eye of a strange beast. It was naturally endowed with several formidable divine abilities, and upon reaching the Return to Void stage, it could even awaken some bizarre talents.

But currently, it was still at the Divine Transformation level!

Even so, when the poisonous mist was pierced by a beam of light, it immediately dissipated with incredible speed. . .

"Indeed, a Return to Void avatar, its strength is not bad. . ."

The External Avatar laughed heartily and spat out a mouthful of Six Paths Demonic Flames.

The gleaming flames met the strange beams of light and violently ignited in mid-air. . .

Although this avatar possessed formidable combat power, it was ultimately not a true Return to Void cultivator.

After the External Avatar unleashed the Nine Serene Sand River Grand Array, it isolated the surrounding spiritual energy, continuously eroding the avatar's magic power.

In just half an hour, this Return to Void avatar's magic power plummeted, on the verge of being captured alive!

Just then, the External Avatar's expression suddenly changed.

Amidst dense dark clouds, thousands of miles of world essence qi were agitated, transforming into a streak of pitch-black demonic light that slammed violently into the Nine Serenities Netherworld River!

It was Yuǎn Lí's true body making a move!

His true body had been in secluded cultivation, perfecting a certain secret art, but now, to rescue his External Avatar, he had no choice but to abandon it and emerge from seclusion prematurely!

"I've been waiting for you. . ."

Outside the Nine Serenities Netherworld River, a flash of emerald light appeared, and Fang Xi's true body suddenly emerged.

The surrounding world essence qi violently surged, distorting space and swallowing that streak of demonic light.

Behind the demonic light, a demon wearing black armor and with two horns on its head emerged, gazing at Fang Xi with shock: "You. . . early Return to Void? !"

Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness swept out, and he immediately sensed that this demon's demonic cultivation was unfathomably deep, having reached the late Return to Void stage.

Cultivators historically tasked with infiltrating enemy lines were always the elite of the elite.

This Yuǎn Lí would likely have aspirations of reaching Void Amalgamation in the future.

Therefore, Fang Xi had no intention of holding back.

With a faint smile, a green-blue broken sword appeared in his hand-it was the fifth generation Green-Sword!

Fang Xi had long wanted to test the power of this incomplete Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, but he had never had a suitable target.

But this time, the timing was perfect!

He raised the Fifth Generation Green-Sword high in his right hand. The immortal origin qi formed from the Withered Glory Chant's magic power within his body was furiously consumed and poured into the Fifth Generation Green-Sword.

On the broken blade of the green light Sword, a dark green light blade materialized.

"Slash!"

As Fang Xi's right hand descended, the fifth generation Green-sword seized full control over the manipulation of the world's essence qi.

Immediately after, a multi-colored radiance appeared, forming a storm that enveloped Yuǎn Lí opposite him.

The terrifying sword qi, as if carrying the power of an entire realm, instantly destroyed the armor, treasures, and demonic body of this late Return to Void demon. . .

Space shattered.

Ten thousand zhang away, a pitch-black Nascent Soul appeared, frantically trying to escape.

It still clutched a few black round beads in its hand, intending to hurl them all out.

Buzz!

Space shattered, and a phantom image of the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm appeared.

—Spirit Domain!

Ink-green talismans transformed into pillars of light and descended. The thunder beads in the demonic Nascent Soul's hand were actually suppressed and did not detonate.

The next moment, a Soul Suppressing Pagoda appeared above its head.

Under Fang Xi's control, the spatial abilities of this fifth-tier Soul Suppressing Pagoda were exerted to their limit.

The pitch-black demonic Nascent Soul still tried to flee, but it could no longer use teleportation. A grayish-white light descended, turning into countless fine needles that pierced into the demonic Nascent Soul's body.

It shrieked, but was ultimately enveloped by the grayish-white light and fell into the Soul Suppressing Pagoda. . .

"Whew. . ."

Fang Xi withdrew the Fifth Generation Green-Sword, feeling his magic power almost completely depleted and even some damage to his own vitality, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The opponent was, after all, a grand master at the late Return to Void stage, while he was merely at the early Return to Void stage.

Using conventional methods would require a full-blown battle, which he couldn't afford.

And given the current situation, doing so would almost certainly attract Void Amalgamation cultivators.

Therefore, he had to finish the fight quickly!

He also wanted to preserve the opponent's Nascent Soul to search its memories for information, so he couldn't directly use the Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light.

Thus, it was the perfect opportunity to test the power of the Fifth Generation Green-Sword.

This damaged sword, an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, indeed did not disappoint him, and it would definitely cut through many obstacles on his future Dao path.

Although the loss was considerable, his physique was special, and his recovery ability was extremely strong.

At this moment, the Nine Serenities Netherworld River also vanished, fully retracting into the Netherworld Banner.

The flood dragon on it wagged its head and tail, full of vigor, but Yuǎn Lí's avatar had disappeared without a trace.

"This place is not suitable for a prolonged stay."

Fang Xi warned, and with a flash of silver light, he vanished.

His appearance this time was merely to act as a stand-in for his External Avatar.

"I hope the complete cultivation art can be found in the demonic Nascent Soul's memory. . ."

The External Avatar also sighed, began to clear the battlefield, and then quickly departed.

As early as when he was in the Minghuan World, Fang Xi had learned of the troublesome nature of the 'Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts'; it was impossible to switch or abandon the cultivation method.

One could say that once cultivated, it was like a bone-deep curse, leaving no choice but to follow that path to the very end.

Fortunately, he was just an External Avatar, and Fang Xi still wanted to take a gamble.

After all, that was the 'Zizai Tianmo Wang', an existence at the peak of Void Amalgamation!

Although there was a high probability that the External Avatar, using this method as its foundation, would perish in the future, there was also a slim chance that it could instead seize the foundation of the 'Zizai Tianmo Wang' and advance its cultivation by leaps and bounds. . .

Tomorrow morning's update will likely be delayed until 8 or 9 AM.
