Chapter 748: Two Realms Gate
Chapter 748: Two Realms Gate
Moonlight Immortal City.
Fang Xi couldn't possibly undergo two minor heavenly tribulations consecutively.
Therefore, he arranged for the Wang Family Ancestor to venture out, and upon returning, showcase mid-stage Return to Void cultivation, claiming to have secretly undergone his tribulation and ascended while away.
This once caused Chi Songzi to specifically come over and complain, feeling that the Wang Family Ancestor did not trust the Immortal City.
Fang Xi naturally apologized profusely, successfully pacifying him.
Fortunately, matters concerning tribulation crossing were always a cultivator's private affair; the Wang Family Ancestor could go wherever he pleased, and anyone daring to inquire even slightly would be seen as harboring ill intentions, allowing him to turn hostile at any moment.
Chi Songzi complained a couple of times, then reminded Fang Xi to be careful of the Heavenly Demon Society's Kun when traveling outside, and that was that.
Currently, within the Heavenly Demon Society's branch in the Starry Sky Domain, apart from that Kun, as long as the Wang Family Ancestor didn't fall into a trap, other cultivators, even if they couldn't win, could still escape.
At the same time, Chi Songzi also brought the latest war report, providing Fang Xi with a good deal of battlefield intelligence.
Overall, the situation was still quite favorable.
Especially that 'Senior Che', who was reportedly confirmed to be only heavily injured and made a special appearance, greatly boosting the morale of the Human Race Allied Army.
Meanwhile, the Yao Race's grand army also gnawed on hard bones like the Sword Domain, their advance suddenly slowing down.
This kind of situation had occurred many times throughout human history.
Each time, the Yao Race's grand army would exhaust its war potential, and when the Human Race counterattacked, they would have no choice but to retreat gloomily.
Sometimes, even the Demon Race would secretly provide aid to the Human Race. . .
"It seems I can rest easy now and let my External Avatar go mining. . ."
After seeing off Chi Songzi, Fang Xi mused to himself.
That External Avatar had been in the Celestial Brahma Domain all this time, occasionally discussing the Dao with Yunxi Xianzi, listening to her play the zither, or admiring Madam Baolian's flute performance—his days were unbelievably leisurely.
It was about time he found something for him to do.
...
Just as Fang Xi was contentedly slacking off, while also having his External Avatar explore the Starry Sky Immortal Abode.
At the border between the Starry Sky Domain and the Flowing Spring Domain, within a mountain range with Return to Void level dangers.
*Pfft pfft! *
Ugly, crimson bald vultures plummeted from mid-air, each possessing strength around the sixth rank.
The sky, meanwhile, was occupied by the true overlord—the Kun.
Compared to before, however, the Kun's size was significantly smaller, likely having cast some 'Size As Desired' divine ability.
"Tell Protector Peng to kill fewer. . . otherwise, the traces will be too obvious!"
On the Kun's back were several cultivators hidden within hooded robes; one of them spoke.
But the next moment, another mellifluous female voice mockingly arrived: "Now that Protector Peng has ascended to the seventh rank, even if it doesn't return to the Yao Domain, it's qualified to serve as the Head of the Heavenly Demon Society! Who here has the right to command it?"
"Protector Peng was quite vexed for not having taken down the people of Moonlight Immortal City earlier. Letting him vent on these 'Crimson Blood Spirit Vultures' is a good thing."
The one who had spoken earlier immediately shut his mouth, no longer uttering a sound.
The Kun's flight was extraordinarily swift.
Several days later, this group from the Heavenly Demon Society arrived at a place shrouded in formation mist.
"Protector Peng, Fellow Daoist Hu, Fellow Daoist Zuo. . ."
Here, quite a number of Heavenly Demon Society members had gathered, with cultivation levels starting at early-stage Return to Void, along with many defected spirit beasts, each with mountain-like physiques and awe-inspiring fierce might.
But at this moment, with a single stare from the Kun's eyes, they immediately became obedient.
"Haha, Sixth Sister Hu. . . you all truly have good fortune, directly recruiting Protector Peng. Now that Protector Peng has advanced to the seventh rank, everyone in the Heavenly Demon Society in the Starry Sky Domain will surely receive rewards from the Head!"
A slender, graceful woman in green robes, her waist swaying like a water snake, walked over. Seeing Protector Peng, her eyes lit up.
In her jade-green eyes were actually a pair of serpentine vertical pupils, clearly indicating a half-Yao bloodline, and she was also a Yao cultivator.
"Liu She. . ."
When Sixth Sister Hu saw this female cultivator, she merely let out a cold hmph and did not reply.
Instead, Liu She began speaking to herself: "The business we're in is one that risks decapitation. . . In the past, the society always used single-line contacts, at most a secret agent in one domain would be rooted out. . . Now, the Head has suddenly summoned us. If his verbal command and the aura of his artifact weren't precisely accurate, I would truly have believed the Head was captured and had sold us out. . ."
At the mention of this, the surrounding Return to Void cultivators and spirit beasts all fell silent.
After a long while, a mountain-like three-horned green goat finally spoke, its voice ancient: "Now that the Human and Yao Races are at war, suddenly activating us likely means they're preparing for some major operation. . . Hmph, this old man has risked life and limb for the society for years. If this mission is too difficult, I won't do it. . ."
Return to Void cultivators were already considered high-level figures in the cultivation world.
They had a certain degree of leeway to refuse many tasks.
This three-horned green goat deliberately spoke this way, clearly intending to rally some allies.
Especially Protector Peng!
After all, the Head of the Heavenly Demon Society was merely an Integration stage cultivator!
"Green Goat! You've got some nerve. . ."
Just then, a teasing voice echoed. The voice reverberated back and forth within the mist, seemingly coming from all directions, making it hard to discern if it was male or female.
"Head. . . Head?"
A flicker of fear crossed the three-horned green goat's eyes, then it spoke with ferocity: "The society previously promised this old man that they would send me to the Yao Race territory to procreate and establish a clan. . . Yet now they are forcibly keeping me. What sense does this make? Can it be that this old man isn't even allowed to resist?"
As it vehemently shouted, it simultaneously spat out a greenish bead.
The bead's surface flashed with light, and immediately, a hazy green mist emerged, enveloping the three-horned green goat's entire body.
Clearly, it knew it had greatly offended the Head, but with all the domain leaders present, if it didn't seize this heaven-sent opportunity to argue its case, it feared it would be treated as cannon fodder in the future!
"You're good, you're very good!"
The gender-indiscernible voice let out a cold laugh, and a sudden buzzing emerged from within the mist.
Dark green tiny insects appeared, densely packed, swarming onto the hazy green mist.
The insects resembled longhorn beetles; the savage aura emanating from their carapaces caused Protector Peng to instinctively recoil far away.
*Sizzle sizzle! *
Countless demonic insects landed on the hazy green mist, immediately beginning to gnaw at the mist and the colorful light, then at the greenish spherical bead, interspersed with the three-horned green goat's pained screams.
It seemed as if nothing in the world, tangible or intangible, could escape their gnawing.
Ultimately, everything where the three-horned green goat had been vanished without a trace, leaving only a deep pit.
"Are those Heavenly Demon Insects? !"
Liu She exclaimed in surprise.
"Heavenly Demon Insect Secret Art? The demonic insects rumored to be able to gnaw through even an immortal's dharma body?"
Sixth Sister Hu also gasped in admiration.
At this moment, these dark green insects hummed, then astonishingly dissolved into wisps.
Clearly, these Heavenly Demon Insects were not corporeal entities, but rather manifestations of some cultivation technique or secret art, and their ferocity far surpassed that of some exotic insects from the Earth Immortal World.
Most of those present were Yao cultivators, naturally aware of the secret art's power, and each one of them was scared pale.
"Everyone. . . the day of the Heavenly Demon Society's mission has arrived."
The gender-indiscernible voice sounded again. In mid-air, a figure in green robes had appeared at some unknown point.
He wore a bronze mask, its engravings deep, with two small horns extending from it, giving him a majestic appearance.
From the eye sockets, a pair of eyes burning with emerald green flames were revealed.
"Lord Head!"
Liu She, Sixth Sister Hu, and all the spirit beasts bowed their heads in salute.
"Among my Yao Race, the strong are revered, and the weak are prey. If any of you have objections to me serving as Head, as long as you can defeat this one, the position of Head will be readily yielded!"
The Heavenly Demon Society Head let out a cold snort, and a terrifying wave of magical power emerged.
"Late-stage Integration?"
Sixth Sister Hu exclaimed, seeing that even Protector Peng had lowered its head, its eyes filled with extreme solemnity.
"Head. . . you're actually a Grand Cultivator of the late stage?"
A nine-headed lion roared with a thunderous voice from each of its heads: "If we had known this earlier, why would we brothers have suffered the indignities of the Myriad Spirit Sect? We would have simply rebelled against them. . ."
"My cultivation has always been an absolute secret, not to be revealed. . . However, there aren't many restrictions now. As long as this grand endeavor succeeds, the Human Race will surely never recover."
The Heavenly Demon Society Head sneered: "That is why this Head issued the summoning order, calling all members above the Return to Void realm within the Human Race territory. . . As long as this succeeds, it matters not if the Heavenly Demon Society ceases to exist. . ."
"The Human Race and our Yao Race have contended for supremacy for many years, their foundations are unfathomably deep. . . How can they be severely wounded?"
Though Liu She trembled, she still couldn't help but ask.
"At the Sword Domain battlefield ahead, I've heard our army's advance has halted. . . According to past historical experience, it's likely we can only retreat while we're ahead."
A gigantic azure python sighed.
"Hmph. . . this race has specifically activated a secret treasure this time, no, two pieces! You all don't need to attack any force; as long as you protect this one and activate this secret treasure, it will count as a success. . . Afterwards, immediately return to the Yao Race territory, and there will be generous rewards, I will not break my word!"
The Heavenly Demon Society Head extended his right hand, and a bronze gate appeared in his palm.
Upon the gate, there was also a strange beast-head sculpture, and in the mouth of this anomalous beast, a bronze fragment seemed to be held.
Although both were made of bronze, the aura contained within this single fragment absolutely far surpassed that of the bronze gate.
"This is the 'Two Realms Gate'. . . Its original body should have been a fragment of an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure with extremely powerful void attributes. Later, it was obtained by our race, and after exhaustive searching for rare materials, two 'Two Realms Gates' were cast! This treasure has no other functions, only one. . . no matter how far apart they are, they can connect! Even the perilous forbidden void lands and realm forces of the Earth Immortal World can hardly stop it. . . let alone the Human Race's grand formations."
Within the Human Race territory, there were super grand formations guarding, and major teleportation arrays were also strictly managed during wartime, making it utterly impossible to smuggle too many people through at once.
But the 'Two Realms Gate' was different.
This gate could ignore any distance and restrictive spells, even allowing Mahayana True Spirit existences to pass through.
Therefore. . . it was entirely possible to create a Yao Race grand army deep within the Human Race's core territory, at its most vulnerable defensive points!
Under a pincer attack, the Human Race Allied Army could truly suffer a crushing defeat!
"Two Realms Gate?"
Hearing these words, expressions of excitement appeared on the faces of the many Return to Void Yao cultivators: "Since the other gate is in the Yao Race territory, doesn't that mean after we complete the mission, we can directly return to the Yao Race, no longer fearing retaliation from the Human Race?"
Lately, my spirits haven't been good, so the second update will be a bit late. My apologies.
