Chapter 865: Late Void Amalgamation (Happy National Day! )
It was no secret that Qing He Zi had killed Zizai Tianmo Wang.
Although Zizai Tianmo Wang had already relinquished his title as one of the Six Demon Kings, and it coincided with the alliance between the human and demon races, even if the demon race knew, they would pretend not to.
Still, it was somewhat awkward.
If the human race were to forcibly assign him a mission?
Heh heh. . . would Fang Xi not refuse and simply run away?
The so-called "Human Race Five Sons" title might be an honor worth dying for to other humans.
But for Fang Xi, it was merely 'that thing'. . .
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the one who will be supporting the demon race this time. . . should still be Mo Yunzi."
Ji Feixue also thought this was unlikely, stating her judgment.
"It's actually this extraordinary technique?"
Fang Xi's eyes lit up: "Then there are naturally many points we can discuss. . ."
...
The following days remained dry and dull.
Every day, Fang Xi was either inspecting Tianyuan City or dealing with Ji Feixue, who came to him to discuss cultivation techniques.
After the human race began reclaiming lost territory, Tianyuan City's important status gradually declined, and army after army withdrew.
The same was true for Great Ascension cultivators like Qing Xu Tong Zi.
And according to the Five Sons' joint deliberation, it was indeed Mo Yunzi who acted as commander and went to support the demon race.
Fang Xi was immediately happy to be idle, taking his subordinates, Zhai Xingzi and a motley crew, to continue guarding Tianyuan City.
Several years later, Ji Feixue also completed the repairs to the grand array and bid farewell.
As a Void Amalgamation cultivator of the Black Tortoise Pavilion, and one of the top three formation masters of the human race, during this great war, there were too many places where this woman was needed.
Fang Xi showed no reluctance about this, waving his hand to let her go, which made Ji Feixue quite resentful.
...
Time flowed like water, years shuttled like a loom.
Trapped Sky Island.
Within the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
Fang Xi's main body was currently seated cross-legged in a hot spring.
Within the spring water were various body-refining spiritual medicines.
His skin was clear and jade-like, faintly glowing with a platinum light. The pores all over his body opened like countless whirlpools, absorbing all the spiritual liquid in the pool.
Suddenly, behind him, a faint image of a great sun appeared.
Within the great sun's faint image, a 'Heavenly Demon True Body' also emerged.
"The cultivation method for the Void Amalgamation stage of the 'Celestial Demon Extermination Manual'—my External Avatar actually found it on the War Merit List, so there's no need to wait for Xiao Qing or Little Xuan Turtle to break through to Void Amalgamation. . ."
Fang Xi's thoughts churned, but his mouth continuously chanted complex and abstruse incantations.
Accompanying the sound of the incantations, one rune after another was branded onto the 'Heavenly Demon True Body', as if clothing it in a layer of runic armor.
Even the 'sun' behind the Heavenly Demon True Body gradually receded into its back, transforming into a halo of a solar corona.
Seeing this scene, Fang Xi was quite satisfied: "It wasn't for nothing that I expended so much war merit to exchange for a large amount of treasures suitable for body refining. . ."
"Now, I have finally completely fused Jin Gangzi's body refining technique with the demon race's secret art, the 'Heavenly Demon True Body'. . ."
He clenched his five fingers, feeling the surge of power continuously erupting from his limbs and bones, and couldn't help but smile: "At this moment, even if I rely solely on my physical body, I can probably contend with that monkey for a long time, right?"
Splash!
Fang Xi leapt out of the hot spring, and in mid-air, he donned a green spiritual robe.
At this moment, with a slight raise of his hand, a jet-black staff landed in his grasp—it was none other than the 'Dao Hai Gun'!
This Immortal Abode Rare Treasure was incredibly heavy; previously, he had found it somewhat strenuous to wield.
Now, with a casual strike, the void itself shattered, immediately giving him the feeling of a fitting weapon meeting its master.
After familiarizing himself with this damaged Immortal Abode Rare Treasure, just as Fang Xi was about to leave, the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm shook violently!
He saw that in the high sky, the masses of green 'celebration clouds' had actually been replenished a bit more.
By now, there were already sixty-six thousand mu!
A feeling of water about to overflow surfaced in Fang Xi's heart, letting him know that the opportunity for his advancement to the Late Void Amalgamation stage had finally arrived!
"It wasn't in vain that I spent so many Immortal Jade. . ."
"This time, the advancement is faster than I anticipated!"
He smiled faintly, took a step, and arrived at the Kyushu School's outpost outside.
Heaven and Earth responded. Immediately, thunderclouds churned, gold and silver intertwined ceaselessly, and a dense heavenly might descended!
"Minor Heavenly Tribulation for Void Amalgamation?"
"The Dao Master is about to advance again!"
Gui Axe Venerable and Tumo Venerable showed no surprise upon seeing this scene.
Given the Kyushu School's current hegemonic status ruling Trapped Sky Island, for Fang Xian Dao Master to only be at the Mid Void Amalgamation stage was indeed a bit low. . .
Of course, those deceased alien Void Amalgamation cultivators couldn't jump out and object. . .
Whoosh!
Fang Xi transformed into a streak of green light, directly leaving the island and arriving in the deep ocean.
This minor heavenly tribulation, breaking through from Mid Void Amalgamation to Late Void Amalgamation, was far more powerful than before, so it was best not to test the Kyushu School's protective grand array.
Crash!
The sky seemed to rip open, and countless drops of blood rain fell.
Fang Xi paid no heed to this celestial phenomenon, simply circulating the 'Withered Glory Chant' technique. His aura shifted from withered to flourishing, then from flourishing back to withered, changing nine times in an instant!
The Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm trembled. Sixty-six thousand mu of Myriad Wood Mother Qi gathered, like a green auspicious cloud, pouring into every part of the spiritual realm, causing the void to shatter as the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm began to expand once more.
Immediately after the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm's breakthrough, Fang Xi took a deep breath. The Late Void Amalgamation bottleneck within him naturally shattered, as if water had found its course.
Within his Dantian's sea of qi, the Nascent Soul, about two feet tall, smiled faintly. Its form grew taller again, reaching around three feet, its skin showing a light flesh tone, like a meticulously carved and sculpted mortal child.
The 'Withered Glory Chant' magical power of the Late Void Amalgamation stage flowed through his major meridians like numerous flood dragons.
Boom!
The moment Fang Xi broke through to the Late Void Amalgamation stage, in the sky above, the minor heavenly tribulation finally ceased its hesitation, and a gold and silver lightning bolt violently struck down!
"Too weak. . ."
He spread his hands, and the Heavenly Demon True Body emerged, actually taking the initiative to meet the gold and silver lightning.
Boom!
With a rumble, the lightning struck the Heavenly Demon True Body, immediately collapsing by more than half, and countless electric snakes rapidly thinned. . .
"It can't even force out my Myriad Demon Armor. . ."
Fang Xi mumbled to himself, then saw successive gold and silver lightning bolts strike down.
Rumble!
In the blink of an eye, nine layers of lightning had passed!
Only then was the Heavenly Demon True Body shrunk by more than half after being struck by the lightning, becoming almost the same size as Fang Xi's main body, with pieces of its Myriad Demon Armor shattering.
Within the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, the Shinto Avatar, 'East Florescence Supreme Profound True Endless Green Great Emperor', held the damaged Immortal Abode Rare Treasure—the Sky-Suppressing Pagoda—ready to provide support at any moment.
"My main body has integrated Tantric body refining techniques with demon race cultivation methods. . . his body refining should be comparable to Late Void Amalgamation!"
"Coupled with numerous tribulation-avoiding techniques and treasures. . ."
"I am merely the last resort."
The Shinto Emperor was full of majesty, holding the 'Sky-Suppressing Pagoda' in his hand, ready to deal with any unexpected events.
Whether the heavenly tribulation's power suddenly surged, or if another alien Void Amalgamation cultivator fearlessly came to trade lives, Fang Xi was utterly fearless.
Alas. . .
His fierce reputation had long spread throughout Trapped Sky Island; no Void Amalgamation cultivator would be so foolish as to actively come and offer their head.
"If they don't even have the courage to challenge the strongest, what kind of immortality are they cultivating?"
The Shinto Avatar let out a cold snort.
Although his main body had always been extremely cautious since embarking on the path of cultivation, he still hoped his enemies would be a bit more reckless, a bit more brainless. . . Of course, it would be best if there were no enemies at all.
Outside.
Another gold and silver heavenly lightning bolt descended.
Fang Xi let out a long laugh, holding the 'Dao Hai Gun' upside down, and violently smashed it out with a single strike!
Whoosh!
On the 'Dao Hai Gun', circles of Immortal Abode Secret Runes lit up. Wherever the dark, hazy radiance passed, the lightning dissipated with a roar.
This was not a transformation of the tribulation, but rather a direct shattering of the lightning tribulation using powerful magical power in conjunction with an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure!
"Before, when I was at Return to Void, using the Qing He Sword (Fifth Generation) even once was incredibly strenuous. . . But now, at Late Void Amalgamation, wielding a damaged Immortal Abode Rare Treasure is much easier. . ."
With the staff in hand, Fang Xi's chest swelled with heroic spirit.
He felt that even against several Void Amalgamation cultivators, he could crush them one by one with his staff, beating them to death!
At this moment, he swung both arms, and the 'Dao Hai Gun' shattered the lightning. . .
Crack!
The eighteenth gold and silver lightning tribulation bolt violently descended.
Unfortunately, after being weakened by the spiritual domain power of the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm, its might was immediately reduced by several tenths!
Fang Xi held the 'Dao Hai Gun' with both hands, raising it to prop up the heavens with a single staff.
The gold and silver lightning tribulation completely disintegrated. . .
Subsequently, threads of rain, filled with the essence of lightning, descended.
"Late Void Amalgamation, achieved!"
There was no joy or sorrow in Fang Xi's eyes; it seemed this matter had long been within his expectations:
"Now, as long as I wait patiently and gather one hundred thousand mu of Myriad Wood Mother Qi, I will reach Void Amalgamation Perfection, and Great Ascension will be within reach!"
"Originally, at a growth rate of one hundred mu of Myriad Wood Mother Qi per year, it would require over three hundred years. . . but now, that's no longer necessary."
My External Avatar recently sent back many good things. Besides various rare body-refining materials, there were also spiritual roots like Golden Brahma Demon-Extinguishing Bamboo.
Furthermore, my main body is willing to consume Immortal Jade daily to increase the expansion speed of the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm.
According to Fang Xi's estimation, in another one to two hundred years, he would be able to achieve Void Amalgamation Perfection and make a push for Great Ascension!
"Calculating the time. . . Trapped Sky Island should emerge around then, which works out perfectly!"
In fact, even if Trapped Sky Island's 'Realm Descent' was delayed, it wouldn't be an issue for Fang Xi.
He could simply use the All-Heavens Precious Mirror to instantly transport countless Shinto experts to the Earthly Immortal World!
Moreover, it would be even more covert and swift!
Even the excuses are ready-made!
The demon race's two World Gates are in his hands, after all!
Although they've long been unusable, outsiders wouldn't know that!
When the time comes, he could bring out the bronze gate, secretly connect it with the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, and with his current mastery of the void, even a Great Ascension cultivator wouldn't be able to spot the flaw.
What's more, within the Shinto system, there are no Heavenly Kings or Heavenly Venerables comparable to Great Ascension cultivators yet!
"Now that Trapped Sky Island is unified and the population is flourishing, the Shinto Emperor can confer titles on many Heavenly Lords. . ."
"However, it would still be best for Trapped Sky Island to actively undergo 'Realm Descent'; only then would it be grand enough. Using the All-Heavens Precious Mirror would make it seem like an illegal crossing. . ."
Fang Xi pondered to himself: "Also, my External Avatar. . . it's time for a reward this time. . . Zizai Tianmo Wang has been imprisoned for so long, it's time to finally send him on his way and, in passing, help my External Avatar advance to Late Void Amalgamation!"
