Chapter 766: Little Fox
Seven Treasures Palace.
A three-tailed fox woman with a delicate face and three fluffy fox tails growing from her shapely rear arrived before the magnificent palace.
She surveyed her surroundings, discovering that the palace was encircled by a seven-colored barrier—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple—converging to form a powerful restriction. A joyous expression couldn't help but appear on her face: "No cultivators have arrived yet, this is wonderful. . . That purple gourd is certainly mine."
For a six-stage, upper-grade demon, the primary objective upon entering the Seven Treasures Secret Realm was naturally that 'Innate Pure Qi Purple Gourd'!
As long as one could obtain the essence of spiritual energy within that gourd, breaking through the Void Amalgamation bottleneck would pose little problem at the very least.
As for the heart demon tribulation and the even more terrifying Great Heavenly Tribulation that followed, other methods would naturally be required.
But if one's cultivation didn't break through, even wanting to undergo tribulation would be impossible!
The three-tailed fox woman's eyes gleamed brightly. Just as she was about to act and break the restriction, a hint of suspicion flickered across her face. From her cherry lips, a pink pearl emerged.
A strange light swept across every corner surrounding the Seven Treasures Palace.
Suddenly, the three-tailed fox woman cried out in alarm and fury: "Who dares to take advantage of this young lady?"
She conjured a pink brocade handkerchief. With a chanted incantation, it suddenly expanded to an immense size, almost obscuring the sky and eclipsing the sun.
From the handkerchief, streams of pure white True Fire descended.
Heaven and Earth Essence Qi converged, causing the flames to instantly swell to an immense size, like a pure white sun, falling upon a certain spot on the ground.
Whoosh!
A sea of blood emerged.
From atop the sea of blood, a ferocious Demon Race member appeared, wielding a crimson long banner. With just a flick,
a blinding silver light burst forth in the void, sending out invisible ripples.
That pure white sun, falling upon the ripples, astonishingly vanished without a trace in an instant—clearly displaced to an unknown location by a void divine ability!
"Myriad Cold Fox Fire? So it was you, little fox. . ."
Heiku roared with laughter: "Isn't it better to obediently act as a pathfinder for this Venerable? Why be so eager to seek death?"
He unleashed an incantation, and in the void, streams of pure white flames appeared, their target unmistakably the three-tailed fox woman!
"Demon Race's Heiku, and the Blood Fiend Banner?"
The three-tailed fox woman's expression changed.
She naturally knew of this infamous Demon Race madman.
She just hadn't expected that the other party's target was also the 'Seven Treasures Palace'!
However, for many cultivators, each of the Seven Treasures Gourds had its unique advantages, making them indeed their primary targets!
She let out a soft cry, and behind her, the phantom image of a three-tailed demon fox appeared.
The demon fox opened its slender maw, and a strange suction force emerged in the void, absorbing all of the chilling Myriad Cold Fox Fire.
But at this moment, from within the sea of blood, a humanoid figure seemingly composed of mercury slowly walked out.
It let out a roar, its body instantly expanding and growing immense. . . transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall silver-armored giant, its armor surface covered with countless blood-colored runes.
Amidst its furious roar, a fist descended like Mount Tai crushing down!
Pfft!
The phantom image of the three-tailed demon fox was shattered in a single strike. The fox woman's face paled, and several pink shields appeared before her, transforming into a streak of escape light as she rapidly shot backward: "That's. . . an Aqua Race person? To think you've refined it into a Blood Fiend Corpse. . . Heiku, has your 'Six Corpse Heavenly Demon Art' truly reached the grand completion stage?"
"Hehe, good that you know this. . ."
Heiku gave a cold chuckle: "Among this Venerable's six great Heavenly Demon Corpses, one pleasing Demon Race member is still missing, and I find you quite suitable. . . If I gather all six six-stage, upper-grade Heavenly Demon Corpses, even without that 'Innate Pure Qi Purple Gourd,' this Venerable will have a high certainty of advancing to Void Amalgamation!"
The 'Six Corpse Heavenly Demon Art' he cultivated was also a renowned Corpse Dao demonic art among the Demon Race. Parts of its essence had once flowed down to the lower realms, developing into various strange corpse-refining demonic paths.
The Six Desires Heaven Mixing Demon of the Primordial Demon Sect bore traces of this cultivation method.
However, cultivating this demonic art required the assistance of various 'demon corpses,' the rarer and stranger the race, the better.
Heiku was like a fish in water on Trapped Sky Island, hailed as the Demon Race member most likely to advance to Void Amalgamation!
This time, he even took advantage of the mystic realm's opening to heavily hunt down the prodigies of other races, intending to refine their corpses into demon corpses to serve as resources for his Void Amalgamation breakthrough!
Understanding this, the three-tailed fox woman knew that the situation today would absolutely not end well.
In her hand, a crimson, seven-aperture medicinal pill appeared, as deep red as blood, throbbing like a heart. She swallowed it without hesitation.
"Woosh!"
Immediately, fox-like stripes began to appear on the three-tailed fox woman's face, whiskers sprouted, and a pair of crimson fox ears emerged from her head.
Swish!
Behind her, three more fox tails suddenly materialized.
However, compared to her original three tails, these appeared much smaller and carried a sense of unreality.
"A six-tailed demon fox is already a Void Amalgamation existence among the fox race. . ."
"Even if you swallow a secret medicine to forcibly stimulate your bloodline potential. . . you can only maintain this bloodline regression for less than a moment."
"In such a short time, not to mention breaking through this Venerable's seventh-rank 'Blood Fiend Banner', you won't even be able to escape this Venerable's pursuit!"
Heiku laughed loudly, and with a shake of his Blood Fiend Banner,
an endless sea of blood submerged him, and a colossal phantom banner emerged.
Within the phantom banner, five faint figures flickered, each radiating six-stage, upper-grade magical power fluctuations, jointly activating this Void Amalgamation treasure!
Clearly, Heiku had already found five of his Six Corpse Heavenly Demons, which was why he was so fixated on this three-tailed fox woman.
Whoosh!
The phantom image of the colossal crimson banner struck horizontally, clashing fiercely with a six-tailed demon fox.
Even though both were illusory phantoms, the fluctuations they emitted caused the surrounding earth to tremble, truly embodying the grandeur of Void Amalgamation cultivators in battle.
Suddenly!
Heiku formed hand seals with both hands and let out a cold snort.
Upon the Blood Fiend Banner, crimson ancient seal scripts intertwined with silver phoenix seal scripts began to appear.A storm of silver and crimson instantly swept in the phantom image of the six-tailed demon fox.
"Pfft!"
The three-tailed fox woman's face turned pale, and she spat out a mouthful of vital blood.
Whoosh, whoosh!
In the void, crimson chains fell, piercing through her figure.
A faint smile appeared on the three-tailed fox woman's lips, and she transformed into a single fox tail.
Not far away, a white light flashed in the void, and a fiery red little fox with two tails appeared, riding an escape light to flee for its life.
"Trying to run?"
Heiku sneered, then suddenly furrowed his brow.
In the depths of the mountain range ahead, two Return to Void auras were rapidly approaching.
An escape light flickered, revealing two figures.
One of them was an old man, calmly twirling prayer beads in his hand, possessing a gentle aura that instantly filled Heiku with disgust upon seeing him.
The other was a scholar, holding an ancient scroll, looking with surprise in this direction.
"Oh? Whose little fox is this?"
Fang Xi chuckled, and with a large scoop, easily pulled the severely weakened two-tailed demon fox into his arms, casually stroking its fur.
It had to be said, it was indeed smooth and soft, quite pleasing to the touch!
The two-tailed fox, just as it tried to struggle, felt an immense force surge over it, and its surroundings became like walls of bronze and iron. It could only whimper twice, then closed its eyes, resigned to the abhorrent human cultivator's humiliation. . .
"That's mine! No, that's this Venerable's prey!"
Heiku, controlling his Blood Fiend Banner, glared at Fang Xi and Bai Yusheng, his tone quite hostile.
"Oh?"
Fang Xi glanced at Heiku, focusing mainly on the Blood Fiend Banner in his hand, then suddenly smiled: "Fellow Daoist, that Blood Fiend Banner in your hand looks quite familiar. It seems to be my property!"
"Human cultivator. . . your guts are quite large!"
Heiku stared at Fang Xi: "It seems you are a human who entered during the last Realm Descent, otherwise you wouldn't utter such words in front of this Heiku. . ."
His heart seethed with immense rage. He had long decided to refine these two into demon corpses and imprison their souls, needing a hundredfold torment to vent the hatred in his heart!
Suddenly, Heiku's demon heart palpitated wildly, feeling that a life-or-death crisis was upon him in an instant!
Squeak!
A small demonic insect, unknown when, had already passed through the sea of blood and arrived before him.
It was like a black arrow, piercing directly through Heiku's protective demonic light. Its mandibles, ferocious, snapped together!
Pfft!
A large hole was drilled through Heiku's head, his aura rapidly dissipated, and a layer of inky black flames ignited on his body.
Within the flames, the Mayfly Son puppet freely roamed, seemingly impervious to even the slightest burn from the black flames.
The little fox in Fang Xi's arms stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous.
Could that Demon Race madman have been ambushed and killed by a single strike just like that?
Fang Xi, witnessing this scene, let out a soft sigh.
He extended his five fingers, and the Grand Unity Verdant Wood Divine Light spread across the sky, interweaving with crimson runes, astonishingly suppressing the vast sea of blood.
Hiss, hiss!
Grand Unity Verdant Wood Divine Swords flew out, transforming into a sword array.
Countless sword qi roared, pointing towards a certain spot in the void.
In the void, four Heavenly Demon Corpses appeared, joining forces to form an array.
True Demonic Qi roared, vaguely transforming into a ferocious Demon Race figure wearing a horned helmet, clashing in battle with the sword array.
Behind the phantom image of the ferocious Demon Race figure was Heiku!
"You actually made this Venerable consume a precious Lifebound Demon Corpse!"
He stared at Fang Xi, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.
Just now, had he not used a life-saving secret art from the 'Six Corpse Heavenly Demon Art', performing a body-swap with one of his Lifebound Demon Corpses, he might have truly died!
Now, looking at that demonic insect puppet, his eyes were full of wariness: "Seventh-rank puppet? "With just that one sentence, Fang Xi confirmed that this Demon Race member was an absolute novice in the Dao of Puppetry, unable to even distinguish between a quasi-seventh-rank puppet and a true seventh-rank one.
However, when refining this demonic insect puppet, Fang Xi had also utilized the Progenitor Demonic Tree and wood puppet techniques, preserving most of the Mayfly Son demonic insect's flesh and blood, as well as its inherent ferocious aura. Perhaps mistaking it was understandable?
"If you think it is, then it is."
He gave a faint smile, then switched to holding the little fox with one hand. With his right hand, his five fingers pressed together, and four great True Spirit phantoms appeared. His entire arm turned jade-colored, and a hazy giant phantom emerged behind him. A single punch descended!
Crack!
The invisible void itself seemed to be smashed into a flat iron disc. A terrifying whistling sound emerged as a single strike shattered the massive demonic phantom wearing a horned helmet.
The Blood Fiend Banner let out a mournful wail, actually appearing in a state of disrepair.
'Impossible! '
The little fox's eyes widened even further: 'This is the grand completion stage 'Heavenly Demon True Body'. . . How can a human cultivator possibly wield it? '
