Chapter 745: Trump Card (Bonus Chapter for Subscriptions)
"Lingying greets Old Ancestor."
Wang Lingying bowed respectfully, his demeanor exceedingly deferential.
"Li Rulin greets Old Ancestor, and thanks Old Ancestor for bestowing the Divine Transformation spiritual item!"
Li Rulin, already at the early-stage Divine Transformation cultivation, knelt on the ground, kowtowing deeply.
The reason he was able to reach Divine Transformation was entirely due to presenting a treasure, pleasing the Wang Family Old Ancestor, who then bestowed upon him a Divine Transformation spiritual paste.
This act also thoroughly appeased those in-laws and affiliated families who had pledged allegiance to the Wang Family.
It proved that the Wang Family wasn't merely using them as cannon fodder!
As long as they rendered meritorious service, rewards would surely follow!
"Mm, your breakthrough to Divine Transformation also contained your own fortuitous opportunities."
Fang Xi smiled faintly.
He recalled that when he first arrived in the Earthly Immortal World, he had temporarily resided with the Li family, thus forming a connection.
Later, it was Li Rulin who first revealed the matter of the overseas immortal abode to him, thereby trading it for a 'Coagulation Infant Pill', which opened the door to the Nascent Soul realm.
In the end, it was by relying on the incomplete formation diagram within the immortal abode that he obtained the Divine Transformation spiritual paste!
This made Fang Xi unable to help but suspect that the other party had quite a destiny with both himself and that overseas immortal abode.
However, having merely destiny without strength, the greatest benefits of the overseas immortal abode were still not obtained by Li Rulin.
"You two, choosing to seek refuge in Moonlight Immortal City, I won't say much more."
Fang Xi took a sip of spirit tea: "I only hope that you can work together to overcome this great catastrophe. You may withdraw. . ."
He waved his hand, and the two Divine Transformation cultivators retreated without daring to breathe too loudly.
Seeing this scene, Fang Xi revealed a hint of a smile.
After all, the Taiyin Fairy was only a fifth-rank puppet, and the Little Black Tortoise was even less suitable to show its face. With these two Divine Transformation cultivators running errands, he himself saved quite a bit of trouble.
"I wonder about the immortal city's bandit suppression efforts, what are the recent results?"
He looked towards a certain direction, his expression slightly wistful, silently twirling the Buddhist beads.
Beside him, the Little Black Tortoise, which had cast a divine ability and transformed into the size of a disk, watched this scene, but secretly muttered to itself.
The Master's current posture truly resembled an unmoving rock, possessing an ancient, unchanging aura.
...
Starry Sky Domain.
A deep abyss.
As tens of thousands of cultivators chanted incantations, streams of magical power, relayed through the Taiyin Dao soldiers, gathered within the three-headed, six-armed phantom above the army formation.
The three-headed, six-armed figure instantly became incredibly solid, golden scales appearing one after another upon its body, as if it had donned a layer of golden armor.
Upon its six arms, various treasures such as longswords, sabers, banners, and luminous pearls appeared.
"Command!"
Accompanying the giant's furious roar, the eerie blue luminous pearl burst forth with brilliant light, drawing in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and abruptly forming a vortex.
A tremendous force emerged; the mist enveloping the abyss was completely absorbed, instantly vanishing into the luminous pearl. . .
After the poisonous mist dissipated, a hazy spiritual energy emerged at the bottom of the abyss, converging and intertwining. . . forming a formation, with faint, blurry buildings vaguely visible behind it.
"As expected, this place is a Heavenly Demon Society stronghold!"
The voice of the Return to Void cultivator controlling the battle formation roared like thunder, and he abruptly cast an incantation.
The enormous three-headed, six-armed demon god immediately raised the longsword in its hand and slashed fiercely!
Wham!
It was as if a heaven-supporting pillar had crashed down!
Infinite sword qi submerged that formation, revealing the dilapidated palace behind it.
Streaks of escape light flew out, fleeing in all directions, with many spirit beasts among them.
The three-headed, six-armed divine demon phantom roared, and swung its saber horizontally.
In an instant, the sky was filled with chilling saber light.
Cultivators and spirit beasts fell one by one. . .
"Indeed. . ."
After the great battle, the three-headed, six-armed war demon collapsed, revealing the Return to Void cultivator within.
He came to the depths of the ruins, examining the various corpses one by one: "This place was merely a facade. . . The true battle will depend on Master Dong Qiu Zi and the Great Elder. . ."
...
Starry Sky Domain.
A certain sect.
"Ah. . . my Star Iron Sword Sect has no grievances or enmities with Moonlight Immortal City, why is this happening?"
The grand formation shattered, low-level disciples suffered heavy casualties, and blood continuously flowed along the green jade slabs of the mountain gate.
From the depths of the sect, a streak of light flew out, transforming into the figure of a Return to Void cultivator bearing an iron sword on his back.
His gaze was like lightning, fixed on the Moonlight Immortal City's Great Elder, who was clad in golden robes.
Dong Qiu Zi, however, seemed to pay no heed, merely tossing the bamboo case from his back.
One by one, bamboo horses, bamboo tigers, and mechanical puppets appeared, numbering well over a thousand, forming a strange formation, and began a massive slaughter within the Star Iron Sword Sect.
"Hmph. . . By the sect's order, the Star Iron Sword Sect has harbored filth and been taken over by the Heavenly Demon Society; kill them all without mercy!"
The Great Elder coldly snorted, and waved his hand, sending forth an edict.
Upon seeing the imprint of the Starry Sky Sect on the edict, the Star Iron Sword Sect's Old Ancestor's expression changed dramatically, and his aura surged.
In the blink of an eye, he had actually reached the perfected Return to Void stage!
"Iron Old Ghost. . . you've hidden yourself deeply!"
The Great Elder, seeing this scene, couldn't help but show a hint of apprehension on his face, and raised his hand, releasing a golden compass treasure.
This treasure burst forth with golden light in mid-air, transforming into a golden Bagua, completely protecting both him and Dong Qiu Zi within.
"Without going mad, one cannot survive. . . If this old man can break through to Integration, what is a mere Return to Void sect to speak of?"
Iron Old Ghost coldly snorted, and the dark longsword in his hand hummed.
As a grand cultivator at the perfected Return to Void stage, and a sword cultivator renowned for his offense.
In this Starry Sky Domain, apart from a mere handful of individuals, he fundamentally feared no one.
At this moment, his longsword boomed, streaks of sword light intermingled with starlight, and a starry sword intent swept forth.
From afar, it seemed as if the sky had suddenly returned to night, with stars swaying and falling, exceptionally dazzling.
"Rolling Star Sword Art? !"
The Golden Great Elder continuously channeled incantations into the compass, causing the Bagua to rotate, blocking and nullifying streaks of sword light like falling meteors. . .
After all, he was only at the late-stage Return to Void realm, and truly no match for Iron Old Ghost now.
Fortunately, the reason Moonlight Immortal City launched this proactive attack was because they possessed a powerful trump card.
When he saw Return to Void spirit beasts and cultivators who had previously besieged Chi Songzi also emerge from the depths of the sect, Dong Qiu Zi immediately, without hesitation, sacrificed a storage bag: "Go!"
Roar! Roar!
Squawk! Squawk!
Accompanied by the simultaneous cries of dragon and phoenix.
A bone dragon and a bone phoenix puppet suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
Their colossal forms were like islands, their ferocious and tattered bodies blotting out the sky.
Even more terrifying was that upon their skeletal remains, the fearsome aura unique to seventh-rank demon beasts still lingered.
The silver-furred demon wolf whimpered, tucking its tail between its legs, it tried to flee.
But the next moment, a silver light flashed in the void.
The bone phoenix had arrived before it at some unknown time, and its enormous claw snapped open.
"Awoo!"
The silver-furred demon wolf let out a long howl, stirring the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. Countless moon-like lights shot forth, landing on the bone phoenix's body, yet they didn't even leave a single white mark.
"Quasi-seventh rank puppet?"
Iron Old Ghost saw his Rolling Star Sword Intent land on the massive bone dragon, yet it couldn't even budge it, causing him to cry out in alarm.
"Precisely, they are quasi-seventh rank puppets!"
Master Dong Qiu Zi stroked his beard and smiled.
Demon beasts were different from human cultivators.
The strength of human Return to Void cultivators lay in various divine abilities, secret arts, and powerful artifacts.
The demon race, however, was lacking in this aspect, their greatest specialty was still the refinement of their physical bodies.
Generally speaking, the physiques of Return to Void cultivators were mostly inferior to demon cultivators of the same rank, basically only equivalent to Divine Transformation-level body cultivators.
And Integration cultivators were likewise; their physiques were far inferior to seventh-rank demon beasts.
However, for demon cultivators at the Integration stage, their strongest aspect was definitely their demon race true body, tempered through countless trials!
With these two seventh-rank superior-grade materials, the difficulty of refining puppets was significantly reduced.
Coupled with Master Dong Qiu Zi's craftsmanship and countless precious materials, they barely managed to refine these two quasi-seventh rank puppets!
In terms of combat power, they were enough to sweep aside any cultivator below the Integration realm.
Crack!
On the other side, the Return to Void demon wolf was actually seized by the Heavenly Phoenix puppet, and savagely torn apart!
Rip!
Its demon body was instantly split into two, and a large amount of fresh blood gushed out.
A demon core, with a demon soul wrapped inside, still wanted to tear through the void and escape, but it was directly pierced by a silver flying needle sprayed from the Heavenly Phoenix puppet, perishing on the spot!
"Today. . . any high-stage cultivator from the Star Iron Sword Sect shall die!"
The Great Elder's face was filled with delight: "Without this, we cannot avenge Elder Tong!"
Just as he was laughing heartily, a violent surge of Heavenly Demon Qi suddenly erupted from above the Star Iron Sword Sect!
Whoosh!
Endless clouds were parted, revealing a colossal bird whose wings blotted out the sky.
Its body was like a mountain, its circumference unknown how many miles. . .
"Kunpeng? !"
The Great Elder exclaimed in alarm.
Regarding the true murderer of Elder Tong, who was also a demon bird at the perfected Return to Void stage, how could he not pay close attention?
He had originally thought that with the bone dragon and phoenix puppets, he could easily subdue the opponent.
But he hadn't expected. . .
"It actually advanced to seventh-rank!"
"Integration Great Demon!"
Dong Qiu Zi's expression changed repeatedly, and he immediately controlled the bone dragon and phoenix puppets to return and assist.
The two puppets cooperated with incredible tacit understanding; suddenly, the dragon and phoenix cried out in unison, Yin and Yang merging, seemingly transforming into a formation. . .
Boom!
An astonishing battle was about to erupt!
...
A few days later.
Moonlight Immortal City.
"What? The Great Elder and Dong Qiu Zi actually returned without success?"
Fang Xi held his spirit tea, and hearing Stone Fairy report, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "My immortal city's full-power strike was actually escaped by the Heavenly Demon Society?"
"Not only that, this time the immortal city's trump cards were fully revealed. . . including two quasi-seventh rank bone dragon and phoenix puppets."
Stone Fairy's face was also filled with solemnity: "But we hadn't expected that Kunpeng to break through the major Integration bottleneck and advance to early-stage Integration. . . Upon its advancement, its fierce might immediately soared to the heavens. If not for the bone dragon and phoenix puppets possessing Integration-level attack secret arts, which still posed a certain threat to Integration cultivators, I'm afraid the Great Elder and Master Dong Qiu Zi wouldn't have made it back. . ."
"Who would have thought. . . the Heavenly Demon Society branch in the Starry Sky Domain has actually grown into a formidable force."
Fang Xi sighed.
"Indeed, who can deny it? With the marvel of the Kunpeng's bloodline, after advancing to seventh-rank, I'm afraid even the Starry Sky Sect's Integration Old Ancestor would find it hard to restrain. . ."
Stone Fairy chuckled lightly: "Putting aside that Kunpeng, even this city's trump cards are enough to make the Starry Sky Sect incredibly wary. . ."
"Now, during this time of foreign invasion, it is not appropriate to harbor mutual suspicions."
Fang Xi said indifferently: "In this old man's estimation. . . the Starry Sky Sect will only try to win over Moonlight Immortal City. If so, it will also be a good thing for us. . ."
The second chapter will be a bit late.
