Chapter 818: Armies Scatter (Bonus Chapter for Subscription)
Several days later.
Inside a quiet room in the Penglai Immortal Pavilion.
Fang Xi exhaled a plume of green Nascent Soul Flame, letting it alight upon a purple-skinned gourd.
This seventh-tier wood-element material instantly melted, as wisps of purple qi intertwined around the surface of the "Erwu Soul-Slaying Gourd. " Fang Xi used his Divine Consciousness as a brush, meticulously engraving one intricate array pattern after another.
Countless array patterns converged, forming an indescribably miniature array.
It appeared to exist on a flat plane, yet seemed to possess multiple facets, coalescing into a magical altar that interconnected with the numerous arrays already present within the gourd.
"My array attainments have also reached the seventh-tier. . ."
A hint of joy flashed across Fang Xi's face.
His progress in array formations had been slightly slower, but now it had finally reached the seventh-tier.
Otherwise, he might not have been able to successfully repair that "Nine Dragon Covering Sun Incomplete Array."
Now, with the ability of a seventh-tier array master, upgrading the various arrays within the yellow-skinned gourd and imbuing them into the purple-skinned gourd's essence was an exceptionally easy task.
"Now, this 'Erwu Soul-Slaying Gourd' ranks among the top-tier Integration-stage treasures. . . but compared to an eighth-tier Semi-Immortal Artifact, it still falls short."
The "Erwu Soul-Slaying Flying Blade" itself was primarily made from a fragment of an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure contributed by the Mayfly Avatar.
As a fragment, its power was limited, yet Fang Xi had refined it in a clever manner.
According to his estimation, its ultimate potential would be to reach the level of an eighth-tier Semi-Immortal Artifact, which is comparable to a typical incomplete Immortal Abode Rare Treasure—that would be its limit.
Such treasures, refined by mortals, were ultimately inferior to life-bound artifacts, which could evolve alongside the cultivator's major realm breakthroughs.
The "Erwu Soul-Slaying Gourd" was one such case, and the "Five Fires Seven Birds Fan" was another.
Fang Xi estimated that as long as he obtained the True Spirit Phoenix feathers from Shen Suanzi and refined this treasure once more, reaching the power of an eighth-tier Semi-Immortal Artifact would not be a problem.
After that, it would essentially be unable to advance further.
In terms of power, it was still far inferior to that genuine Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, the "Five Fires Seven Birds Fan"!
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Fang Xi, who was toying with the yellow-skinned gourd, took out a jade pendant from his arms.
This jade pendant was verdant and translucent, and faintly, nine flood dragons could be seen circling within it.
And at this moment, two red dots suddenly appeared within the jade pendant.
"Finally. . . they've arrived?"
Fang Xi emerged from seclusion and saw a phantom great sun forming in the sky, with nine cloud-mist giant dragons circling around it.
Such wondrous sights were easy for cultivators to grow accustomed to.
When he reached the edge of the array, he found Shui Lingxin, Yunxi Xianzi, Liu Xu, Baolian Furen. . . and several high-ranking members of the Penglai Immortal Pavilion already present.
They stood within the array, gazing outwards, their expressions extremely solemn.
Outside, arrayed densely in mid-air, was an alien army!
These aliens were strangely shaped; some rode flying chariots, some possessed wings themselves, and others were simply masses of water or fire, suspended silently in the air. . .
At the front of the army stood a strange alien with a human body and a rhino head.
"Cultivators inside, listen. . . open the array now, and you can die a less painful death."
The Integration-stage cultivator of the Wangyue clan narrowed his small eyes and spoke coldly, surprisingly in the human language.
Clearly, the alien alliance's infiltration of the human race had been going on for a long time.
"Dying a less painful death—how is that different from having no way to live at all?"
Baolian Furen sneered.
Below, the cultivators' faces turned pale, as they finally witnessed what a racial war truly meant!
A racial war knows no good or evil, and never accepts surrender; there is only complete annihilation!
The enmity between the Wangyue clan and the human race was even higher than mountains and deeper than oceans; even surrendering offered virtually no chance of survival.
Upon realizing this, all the human cultivators instead tightened their grip on their magic treasures.
"Hmph, obstinate fools."
The Wangyue clan's Integration-stage cultivator sneered. With a flash of light, he appeared before the great array and raised his hand slightly.
Heaven and earth spiritual qi roared, as if a gap had opened in the sky, and terrifying spiritual qi surged down like a broken dam.
In his hand, a black orb absorbed the heaven and earth spiritual qi. It then continuously expanded, becoming incomparably massive, transforming into a black sphere taller than a small hill, with countless ancient scripts appearing on its surface.
As a vast number of scripts converged, the black sphere directly plunged into the wall of mist.
Rip!
One prohibition after another emerged, only to be absorbed and shattered by the black sphere. . .
"It's actually an array-breaking treasure?"
Fang Xi thought of his own 'Array-Breaking Cone' and couldn't help but show an interested expression.
However, a mere array-breaking treasure, while perhaps capable of breaching ordinary seventh-tier grand arrays, was still too insignificant for a "quasi-eighth-tier" array.
After continuously penetrating the cloud mist, a cloud-mist giant dragon suddenly appeared.
Its dragon mouth opened wide, and it actually swallowed the black array-breaking orb in one gulp!
Runes on the array-breaking orb lit up, erupting in a shrill black light, like a black hedgehog, still trying to resist.
But the cloud-mist giant dragon felt no pain whatsoever, directly suppressing the array-breaking orb. . .
Outside the array.
The Wangyue clan's Integration-stage cultivator's face paled as he exclaimed, "This isn't a seventh-tier array? !"
"Grand Elder, how mighty!"
Seeing that the grand array Fang Xi had set up blocked the strange attack, Liang Rulong finally let out a long breath; he certainly didn't want to die here.
"It's still too early to say that. . ."Shui Lingxin looked at the alien army outside, her face filled with worry.
"I wonder what the aliens' specific plans are? How are the various human domains doing? And the Three Realms Mountain battlefield. . ."
Yunxi Xianzi's expression was also grave.
She vaguely sensed that the Integration-stage cultivator outside was definitely not in the early stage of that realm. . .
"Wanting to know that information is quite simple, actually."
With a flash of green light, Fang Xi appeared beside the two women, chuckling softly.
"Oh? How simple?"
Shui Lingxin's eyes lit up.
"Capture that Integration-stage cultivator and interrogate him. Won't everything be clear then?"
Fang Xi pointed at the Wangyue clan's Integration-stage cultivator, speaking indifferently.
Through his Divine Consciousness, he confirmed that this alien was a mid-stage Integration cultivator. . . and, moreover, should be at the peak of mid-stage Integration.
In terms of strength, he was even above the Python Sparrow Arhat!
"Capturing an Integration-stage cultivator amidst tens of thousands of troops?"
Baolian Furen's eyes widened, almost thinking Fang Xi was joking.
But the next moment, a green light flashed.
Fang Xi had transformed into a green long rainbow, and in a blink, he had left the array's range, rushing directly towards the Wangyue clan's Integration cultivator!
This scene surprised not only the Penglai Immortal Pavilion but also the alien army; they never expected Fang Xi to be so audacious!
In a flash, Fang Xi arrived not far from the Wangyue clan's Integration cultivator, extending a single hand.
The Blood Fiend Banner emerged, and a sea of blood descended, enveloping him and the Wangyue clan's Integration cultivator.
In this way, the alien army behind, wary of accidentally harming their Integration cultivator, could not directly attack this spot.
Within the sea of blood, the Wangyue clan's Integration cultivator was first startled, then enraged: "A mere seventh-tier low-grade existence. . ."
He extended a large hand, and a purple net appeared, with terrifying demonic fire burning within its mesh, descending over Fang Xi's head.
A faint smile appeared on Fang Xi's face as he opened the yellow-skinned gourd in his hand: "Please turn around, my precious!"
A golden line, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, flashed.
The sharpness of the world itself seemed to be slightly stirred, and an incomparably fierce killing intent condensed.
Pop!
With a soft sound, the purple net was actually cleanly split into two from the middle, revealing the Wangyue clan's Integration cultivator's stunned and pained expression.
He saw Fang Xi rushing straight towards him, a cyan orb appearing in his hand, faintly suspending the forms of several treasures within it.
Just as he was about to activate this treasure, the Wangyue clan's Integration cultivator saw the human cultivator's eyes suddenly erupt with a foot-long, greenish-yellow light.
This light was so hazy, it made him feel as if he had returned to his birth, watching elderly elders, forced to willingly be exiled for the sake of their clan's children, actively enter the perilous wilderness. . .
He felt as if he had returned to his youth, having finally cultivated successfully, being chosen for the Wangyue clan's sacred land, and seeing that Mahayana cultivator: "Revenge! Revenge!"
"Ah!"
The Wangyue clan Integration cultivator's eyes turned blood-red, only to realize that, at some unknown point, the human cultivator had arrived beside him.
Fang Xi was merely testing the waters, not even expecting the "Withered Glory Illusionary Pupils" to be so effective.
He gazed at the Wangyue clan's Integration cultivator, four-colored armor appearing on his body. His five fingers clenched together, and a faint golden radiance flickered across his skin before he unleashed a powerful punch.
Bang!
The void itself seemed to shatter, as a faint golden fist-shadow appeared, striking down fiercely. The Wangyue clan Integration cultivator's protective light shield instantly shattered with a wail.
"Hmm?"
The Wangyue clan's Integration cultivator truly panicked now. This human cultivator's attainments in the Dao of Body Cultivation seemed to far exceed his imagination!
He let out a sharp roar, and several treasures around his body shattered directly, transforming into colorful storms that barely managed to annihilate the golden fist-shadow. However, Fang Xi's fist followed immediately, smashing into his chest.
Puff!
Even though the Wangyue clan was known for its strong physiques, at this moment, it was pierced through by Fang Xi's single punch!
From the alien's chest, an azure Nascent Soul emerged, frantically trying to escape, but it was immediately enveloped by a layer of blood-sea.
Fang Xi's eyes flickered with green and yellow. He looked at a certain spot in the void, then suddenly smiled faintly, sending out a stack of talismans.
These talismans flew across the sky, astonishingly emitting terrifying sixth-tier and seventh-tier fluctuations.
At the very center was, surprisingly, a "Great Void Teleportation Talisman."
This talisman transformed into a silver-white phoenix, suddenly letting out a long cry, flying into the void, forcing a Jiuchi Integration cultivator named Lian Hongshang out.
"Rise!"
Fang Xi formed hand seals, and a series of talismans flickered with light, suddenly forming a talisman array that trapped Lian Hongshang within, as boundless lightning instantly erupted.
He glanced at Lian Hongshang's position, a hint of regret appearing on his face, then gave the "Blood Fiend Banner" a shake.
From within the Blood Fiend Banner, the spirit essence of a barbaric giant snake suddenly flew out, swallowing the Wangyue clan's Integration cultivator's Nascent Soul in one gulp before shrinking back into the banner's surface.
Upon seeing this, Fang Xi unhesitatingly activated a "Great Void Teleportation Talisman."
With a flash of silver light, he had already returned to the edge of the grand array, then, with a flicker, entered the interior of the Nine Dragon Covering Sun Great Array.
This array naturally isolated all void teleportation, thus preventing direct transmission into its interior.
Although Fang Xi could forcefully achieve it, it would be somewhat shocking to the world.
And with the strength of his Divine Consciousness, he had already discovered Lian Hongshang lurking to the side, and knew that without dealing with her, he might not be able to use void teleportation. . .
Therefore, he kept the "Great Void Teleportation Talisman" hidden, not using it at first, waiting until her guard was slightly lowered, or even when she was preparing to ambush him, before making his move, instantly entrapping this Jiuchi Integration cultivator. . .
