Chapter 844: Divine Immortal (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Votes)
Whoosh!
As Zizai Tianmo Wang was sealed, the blood-colored great array outside likewise crumbled and vanished with the wind.
The originally extremely dense blood mist seemed to thin out a bit.
Just as Fang Xi was cleaning up the battlefield, his Divine Consciousness swept out, and a cold sneer suddenly appeared on his face.
In the distance.
Two escape lights suddenly halted.
"Just now, an extremely terrifying Divine Consciousness must have swept over us. . ."
A Return to Void Perfected elder with black horns on his head looked at a burning talisman in his hand, his face exceptionally grim: "Judging from the reaction of this 'Spirit Sensing Talisman' of mine, it was at least a Void Amalgamation late-stage Grand cultivator!"
Another white-haired old woman murmured: "Zizai Tianmo Wang. . ."
A hint of fear appeared in her expression.
"With our cultivation, even against a Zizai Tianmo Wang whose strength is greatly diminished, we definitely wouldn't last two moves. . . Previously, Fen Nu Zun Demon King secretly planted the 'Legacy Life Gu' on us, merely to use our lives to pinpoint Zizai Tianmo Wang's location. . ."
The old man sneered, speaking words that made the white-haired old woman turn pale with shock.
"How dare you say such a thing? Are you tired of living? " The white-haired old woman's expression changed dramatically.
"Heh heh, friend, have you forgotten the secret art this old man cultivates? As long as we add the 'Michen Gauze' exotic treasure in your hand. . . even cultivators above Void Amalgamation won't be able to sense us through covert means."
The black-horned elder smiled faintly and said: "This old man merely wishes to live a few more millennia; I have no desire to attempt to break through the Void Amalgamation bottleneck. . . much less get embroiled in the conflict between two demon kings."
"You're quite shrewd. . ."
The white-haired old woman glared at the black-horned elder, a hint of allure surprisingly emerging, suggesting she must have been quite a beauty in her youth.
"However. . . before that, why don't we inform Fen Nu Zun Demon King of this discovery. . ."
The black-horned elder pondered for a moment before speaking words that slightly surprised the white-haired old woman: "This way. . . if that truly is Zizai Tianmo Wang, we can consider our mission accomplished. . . if not, at worst, we flee for our lives. . ."
As Return to Void Perfected cultivators, as long as they didn't directly run into a Void Amalgamation-level existence, they could naturally roam freely within the Demon Realm territory. Why would they actively become cannon fodder for Fen Nu Zun Demon King?
"Friend, your words are excellent. This old woman was indeed lacking in foresight earlier."
The white-haired old woman thought for a moment, then agreed with a smile.
...
"Gone?"
Fang Xi picked up a demonic banner, swept it with his Divine Consciousness, and seeing the two Return to Void Perfected demonic cultivators depart, he couldn't be bothered with them.
Although those two demon lords likely cultivated the 'Myriad Manifestations True Demon Arts', now that there was the grand feast of Zizai Tianmo Wang, his External Avatar had no interest in these two small dishes.
"Since Zizai Tianmo Wang was hiding here, there should still be plenty of treasures within his cave-mansion."
Fang Xi's eyes lit up slightly as he recalled Zizai Tianmo Wang's extravagant display earlier, casually conjuring twelve seventh-tier demonic treasures.
Pitifully, even though he had now refined a Mahayana-level Shinto Avatar, most of his accumulated wealth was still plundered from Trapped Sky Island, incomparable to Zizai Tianmo Wang's countless years of accumulation in the Earthly Immortal World.
With this thought, he immediately swept his Divine Consciousness, found Zizai Tianmo Wang's cave-mansion, and began to attack the several restrictive formations guarding it. . .
A moment later.
Fang Xi emerged with a look of annoyance: "Nothing too good left behind. . . Forget it."
He casually left behind a void coordinate.
From then on, returning to the Black Peak Mountain Range would be a mere thought.
"With everything done, it's time to leave."
Just then, Fang Xi felt a Void Amalgamation late-stage Divine Consciousness suddenly sweep over, locking onto him with fury and destructive intent.
"Human Void Amalgamation. . . Where is Zizai Tianmo Wang?"
A Divine Consciousness transmission appeared.
Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness likewise replied, and he saw a colossal spirit warship surrounded by numerous demonic guards.
On the ship's deck stood a tall, fierce-looking demon with two heads, four arms, and indigo skin.
Upon seeing him, its six eyes on both heads lit up simultaneously, instantly transforming into a azure demonic light that shot towards him.
Clearly, this Fen Nu Zun Demon King must have discovered the demonic qi left by Zizai Tianmo Wang in the void and intended to eradicate the source.
"So, the blood array earlier was prepared for you."
Upon seeing this Void Amalgamation late-stage demon, Fang Xi suddenly understood many things.
He sensed the Void Amalgamation demonic cultivator's Divine Consciousness and magic power, then compared it to Zizai Tianmo Wang, and couldn't help but shake his head: "I suppose I took a bullet for you, otherwise. . ."
With this demon's cultivation, encountering Zizai Tianmo Wang within the formation, its fate likely wouldn't have been good.
Zizai Tianmo Wang's previous loss of status was probably due to another scheme, or perhaps his injuries from attempting to break through to Mahayana hadn't fully healed?
Under the watchful eyes of so many, it wasn't suitable for Fang Xi to directly use the All-Heavens Precious Mirror to leave. He immediately, in a low-key manner, transformed into a streak of green escape light and shot backward: "Zizai Tianmo Wang has already left. . . Esteemed fellow Daoist, you're chasing the wrong person."
"Enough nonsense! Are you Zizai Tianmo Wang's summoned helper?"
Fen Nu Zun Demon King roared.
Zizai Tianmo Wang's cave-mansion was so concealed, how could this human Void Amalgamation cultivator have found it first?
Unless. . .
With that thought, its Divine Consciousness locked even tighter onto Fang Xi. It suddenly formed hand seals, and from the third vertical eye on its forehead, two streams of azure flames shot out.
The azure flames scorched the void, forming two thick arrows that instantly shot forth!
"Bringing trouble upon yourself!"
Seeing Fen Nu Zun so unappreciative of his good intentions, Fang Xi couldn't help but secretly grow angry.
He chuckled softly. Behind him, the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm opened, and a golden palm wielding a green 'Heavenly Emperor's Sword' appeared.
The golden palm, holding the Immortal Abode Rare Treasure-grade flying sword, gently slashed!
Within the void, numerous emerald green threads appeared, shooting towards Fen Nu Zun Demon King!
Pffft!
With an almost imperceptible sound, the very void seemed to shift out of place.
Fen Nu Zun Demon King's escape light abruptly halted, an expression of extreme terror surfacing on its face. Its four arms rapidly formed hand seals, causing a towering demonic image to appear behind it.
This demon god stood barefoot on a lotus throne of white bones, wearing a tiger-skin skirt and a necklace of skulls. It also roared, causing a layer of thick demonic armor to appear before Fen Nu Zun Demon King.
Chiii!
The emerald green thread slashed onto the demonic armor. With just a flash, it cut through the armor.
"Blood Ignition Art!"
Fen Nu Zun Demon King bit its tongue, spitting a mouthful of vital blood fiercely into the void before it.
The shattered demonic armor instantly ignited, continuously burning the emerald green thread.
But the emerald green thread merely flashed with green light, sweeping past Fen Nu Zun Demon King, causing it to wail as the gigantic demonic image behind it instantly crumbled.
"King. . ."
Only then did the spirit warship and numerous demonic guards' escape lights belatedly arrive, all speechless at the sight.
"I'm fine. . ."
Fen Nu Zun Demon King looked at its chest.
On its indigo skin, a terrifying sword mark spanning its chest had appeared, with drops of demonic blood seeping from within the wound.
"Human. . . Mahayana?"
"Just now. . . that was merely a lesson and a warning. . . if I pursue further, I will surely die."
Although Fen Nu Zun Demon King was named 'Fen Nu' (Wrath), it would not be blinded by anger.
Faced with death, this one of the six demon kings very prudently ordered: "Go. . . we're leaving this place!"
...
"Not too stupid, after all."
Ten thousand li away from the area, Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness could no longer sense Fen Nu Zun Demon King, and he chuckled.
If the other party had continued to pursue, then no matter what, he would have definitely killed them.
The Human-Demon grand scheme, all of it would be useless.
After all, for Fang Xi, he was the true grand scheme!
Upon confirming that no one was following him anymore, he shook his head slightly and activated the All-Heavens Precious Mirror.
The next instant, amidst a flash of silver light, Fang Xi's figure vanished without a trace.
...
Penglai Immortal Pavilion.
Fang Xi walked out of his long-sealed cave-mansion and exhaled a long breath.
"We respectfully welcome Supreme Elder out of seclusion!"
Liang Ru Long immediately bowed respectfully: "This junior will immediately inform the Sect Master and the Elders. . ."
"You've worked hard."
Fang Xi smiled, knowing that the Penglai Immortal Sect now relied solely on him, and it was inevitable for them to feel anxious about gains and losses.
It was understandable to have someone guard his doorstep.
He took a step, immediately transforming into a streak of green light, first strolling around the Penglai Immortal Pavilion's mountain gate, then flying out of the Immortal Gate towards the mortal realm.
Within several mortal kingdoms, shrines had been erected for Yunxi Xianzi, and many mortals went to worship, making it quite flourishing with incense and prayers.
After all, Penglai Immortal Pavilion had always promoted that it was due to Yunxi Xianzi's protection that this place was spared from the devastation of foreign races.
Fang Xi looked up and saw a blazing sun, like fire.
Yes, although the Earthly Immortal World had seven suns and nine moons, within the formation, there was only one sun and one moon.
At the quasi-eighth-tier formation level, the interior forms its own universe, even able to simulate the power of the sun and the moon's essence!
Thus, it was self-sufficient, requiring no external aid. . .
"In reality, it still relies on the outside world. Even a small world, its foundation lies within this Middle Thousand World that is the Earthly Immortal World. . ."
Fang Xi murmured.
Even with the War of Ten Thousand Races raging on, mortals had gone through several generations here without feeling any turmoil.
Compared to the widespread suffering outside, they were truly countless times more fortunate.
"Fellow Daoist. . . you've finally emerged from seclusion."
With a flash of escape light, Yunxi Xianzi's ghost body appeared, carrying a faint Yin aura.
Fang Xi could tell that this woman's ghost cultivator art hadn't improved at all since last time, yet her body was enveloped in a thick layer of incense and prayer power.
Once she truly transitioned into the Shinto, she would immediately make rapid progress!
It seemed this woman had indeed taken his words to heart and executed them to perfection.
"Yunxi Xianzi. . ."
Fang Xi thought for a moment, then said: "I've had another gain recently; there's a Void Amalgamation-level ghost cultivator who can guide you. You might even have hope of reaching Void Amalgamation in the future. Are you sure. . . you still want to pursue the Shinto path?"
During the unification war on Trapped Sky Island, he had collected many ancient texts, some of which even contained descriptions of immortals.
Beneath the Celestial, Earthly, and Human Immortals, the concepts of 'Divine Immortals' and 'Ghost Immortals' were even listed.
Unfortunately, these two paths didn't seem to be good choices, and the ghost cultivator inheritance within the Earthly Immortal World was likely incomplete, which explained the absence of Mahayana ghost cultivators. . .
