Chapter 876: The Black Hand (Congratulations to Great Alliance Leader Xiaoxiao)
A black hand suddenly appeared!
The terrifying Mahayana-level immortal elemental power, entwined with pitch-black lightning, fiercely tore through Fang Xi's demonic light defense.
The overflowing Law of Destruction aimed to directly annihilate him and all his avatars!
A sudden turn of events!
Faced with a shameless sneak attack from a Mahayana cultivator, any Void Amalgamation Perfected cultivator faced the danger of falling!
Even an External Avatar was no exception!
In the nick of time, from Fang Xi's sleeve, a half-inkstone-shaped exotic treasure emerged.
This was a preparation Fang Xi had made early on, specifically for the External Avatar's situation!
Its defensive power was incredibly formidable, once allowing the Sword Child to withstand a full-power strike from Fang Xi's Fifth-Generation Green Reaping Sword almost completely unscathed.
After appraisal, it was speculated to be an immortal-grade exotic treasure!
Clang!
A layer of pitch-black light shield appeared.
The black hand landed on the pitch-black light shield, exploding with a thunderous boom.
Countless five-colored bolts of lightning appeared, intertwined with threads of black, the very manifestation of the Law of Destruction!
The pitch-black light shield only held for a moment before cracking inch by inch.
The half-inkstone let out a mournful cry, spiderweb-like cracks appeared, and it exploded with a crash, transforming into countless tiny specks of light.
This immortal-grade treasure was utterly destroyed just like that!
A silver light flashed.
The figure of a Shinto Emperor appeared, none other than the 'East Florescence Supreme Profound True Endless Green Great Emperor'!
He wore an imperial robe, a flat-topped crown, and held a small, multi-layered pagoda that was missing several tiers – precisely the 'Void Suppressing Pagoda' obtained from the Zizai Tianmo Wang!
At this moment, layer after layer of the pagoda's body lit up.
Threads of patterns emerged, transforming into arcane runes of an Immortal Abode.
A silver-white phoenix cried out, its cry resounding through the surrounding void.
The Shinto Emperor Avatar, gripping the enlarged Void Suppressing Pagoda, fiercely smashed it towards a certain point in the void!
Rumble!
The Void Suppressing Pagoda, entwined by the silver phoenix, roared, and wherever it passed, the void shattered entirely, turning into chaos!
From that point in the void, a gaunt-faced elder was forced out, letting out a cold snort.
Bolts of five-colored lightning descended, striking the Void Suppressing Pagoda.
Amidst the rotation of five colors, the silver phoenix let out a mournful cry and curled back into the Void Suppressing Pagoda!
The Shinto Emperor Avatar stepped out, holding the Void Suppressing Pagoda in his right hand; this incomplete Immortal Abode Rare Treasure unleashed terrifying power in his grasp.
The External Avatar dared not dally either; seizing the hard-won opportunity, a large quantity of Immortal Jade instantly burned away, and the 'Netherworld Banner' flew out!
A sky-blue flood dragon soul appeared, vaguely visible within the Nine Serene Sand River, causing its figure to vanish. . .
"Old Ghost Meng, you truly have guts!"
The Shinto Emperor Avatar coldly snorted, "To dare to assassinate one of the Human Race Five Sons, you have betrayed humanity!"
"Hmph. . . This old man merely acted on a whim, testing the Mahayana cultivator behind Qing He Zi. . ."
Old Ghost Meng's eyes darted about, and his expression turned somewhat grim: "I never expected. . . that the Mahayana behind Qing He Zi would actually be yourself!"
Clearly, the moment the Shinto Avatar appeared, he immediately discovered the connection between Qing He Zi and the avatar.
"Not only that!"
With a flash of silver light, Fang Xi's true body appeared, surrounded by the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light Shield, and likewise vanished into the dark waters of the 'Nine Serene Sand River Grand Array'.
He and the External Avatar hid within the 'Netherworld Banner', which had been temporarily boosted to the eighth rank, capable of withstanding at least one strike from a Mahayana cultivator.
By then, Fang Xi, possessing the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, would naturally be able to take all his avatars away.
Thus, at this moment, his demeanor was calm, as if relying on his Shinto Avatar, he had truly achieved the realm of a Mahayana rogue immortal.
"Long Qingzi's hidden card and Dao Protector are also you!"
Fang Xi gazed at Old Ghost Meng, coldly stating, "Long Qingzi dared to attempt breaking through to Mahayana, and he informed you beforehand. . . On the day of his tribulation, you hid by the side, only you didn't expect me to jump out first. . ."
"Precisely. . ."
Old Ghost Meng's eyes darted about, unsure of what he was thinking.
After observing Fang Xi's series of actions and discovering that 'Qing He Zi' possessed avatars, he then encountered this heaven-sent opportunity, having long harbored covetous desires for Qing He Zi, and naturally struck with daring resolve!
Even if Qing He Zi were to fall, it could be blamed on the Jiuchi race's Falling Wild King!
Even one of the Human Race Five Sons, when led by a late-stage Void Amalgamation cultivator and a foreign race's army, besieged by formations, faced a very high chance of falling!
This excuse, as long as Qing He Zi was killed here, wouldn't be seamless, but at least no one would be willing to delve deeply into it.
Unfortunately, he failed to achieve success with a single strike!
'This Old Ghost Meng, though not a spy for a foreign race, is utterly greedy, selfish, and narrow-minded. . . '
'If I don't kill this man today, my hatred will be hard to quell! '
Fang Xi, having calculated his retreat to be secure and with the Shinto Emperor Avatar blocking the front, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Old Ghost Meng. . . back then, during the decisive battle between Fang Xian Daoist and Five Elements Child, you also launched a sneak attack like this, didn't you?"
"Hmm? Are you related to that person?"
Old Ghost Meng sneered, "So what if I am?"
Between Mahayana cultivators, it was extremely difficult to determine a winner, let alone achieve a kill.
Even facing a cultivator of the same rank, he remained unperturbed, demonic light shimmering in his eyes: "It seems you are determined to fight this old man?"
"Not a fight. Originally, I planned to settle the grudge with Fang Xian Daoist later, but since you've made a move on me today. . . then let's settle all accounts together."
Fang Xi's true body had profound eyes, while the External Avatar vigorously waved the 'Netherworld Banner'.
The Nine Serene Sand River surged wildly, almost completely submerging the surrounding ten thousand li, transforming into a vast, pitch-black Netherworld Sea!
"Boastful words!"
Old Ghost Meng scoffed, his body surrounded by five-colored lightning bolts, as a terrifying spiritual pressure surged skyward!
......
Upon the jade platforms, the Void Amalgamation cultivators of the Jiuchi race were the first to cry out in misery: "Military Lord. . . the Military Lord's soul lamp. . . it's extinguished!"
"A human Mahayana cultivator has made a move!"
Precisely at this moment, Old Ghost Meng's magical power fluctuations arrived, causing all the Void Amalgamation cultivators present to change expression.
"Even a human Mahayana cultivator, within this Sky Thunder Earth Fire Grand Array. . . we can still hold them back for a while."
A mid-stage Void Amalgamation Jiuchi clansman said coldly.
"Hmph, we are merely allies; assisting with the mission is fine. . . but if you wish to drag us into a desperate fight against a Mahayana existence using the formation, then I apologize. . ."
The Void Amalgamation Stone clansman coldly snorted, immediately gathering all his Stone clansmen, transforming into a streak of light, and rapidly shooting backward.
As it departed, the other Void Amalgamation foreign race members left one after another.
Now that the Po Suo Twin Cities were gone, the human race had also begun to break out.
Staying in this location any longer had little meaning to begin with.
"Boiling Blood King! What should we do?"
The remaining Jiuchi clansmen all looked towards this mid-stage Void Amalgamation cultivator.
After the death of Falling Wild King, that individual was, in theory, the commander.
"Without ten or more Void Amalgamation cultivators collectively activating this Sky Thunder Earth Fire Grand Array, we are simply unable to hold back a human Mahayana cultivator!"
Boiling Blood King gritted his teeth: "We. . . leave!"
The remaining Jiuchi clansmen couldn't help but sigh in relief, each transforming into a streak of escape light and departing, not even bothering with the formation.
They deeply understood that Boiling Blood King was merely speaking grandly.
To hold a human Mahayana rogue immortal here, who knew how many Void Amalgamation cultivators' lives would have to be sacrificed!
Now, with a large number of cultivators fleeing and the formation's power greatly diminished, they absolutely had to leave, lest complications arise!
They wanted to hold back the Mahayana cultivator until their own clan's Mahayana reinforcements arrived, but human Mahayana cultivators also enjoyed hunting them!
Just as Boiling Blood King was leaving, it abruptly turned its head and saw the black and red light screen of the Sky Thunder Earth Fire Grand Array shattering with a roar, and a nether river sea, as if from the Nine Serenities, emerged in its original position, almost submerging the entire battlefield. . .
......
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Black water surged, profound sand rolled, cascading down!
Streaks of black water slapped against Old Ghost Meng's body, but were completely blocked by a layer of five-colored lightning.
"The power of the Five Elements Law. . . the power of the Law of Destruction?"
A flash of spiritual light flickered in Fang Xi's eyes, discerning some of Old Ghost Meng's origins: "Reversing the Five Elements to enter Destruction? !"
He flipped his hand, and the Sea-Stirring Rod appeared, letting out a sudden long howl as he thrust it forward, unleashing power capable of overturning mountains and seas!
While controlling the Netherworld Banner, the External Avatar also fanned the 'Five Fires Seven Birds Fan' in his hand; a True Flame Phoenix cried out, leading countless spirit birds, transforming into seven-colored waves of fire that flew out, their scorching temperature continuously searing the void!
The Shinto Avatar held the 'Void Suppressing Pagoda', and silver-white phoenix arcane runes, like flying birds, emerged from the lit pagoda body, sealing the void!
Clearly, Fang Xi was preparing to eliminate Old Ghost Meng right here!
Although this matter could have been resolved after his advancement to Mahayana, he possessed the strength today and could ensure a safe retreat; to be assassinated and still tolerate it would leave his thoughts in turmoil!
Old Ghost Meng, with a composed expression, touched the back of his head, and a pitch-black seal appeared.
This seal instantly grew to a hundred zhang tall, resembling a pitch-black mountain peak, with five-colored lightning flashing upon it; it was, remarkably, an eighth-rank Semi-Immortal Artifact!
He stood with his hands behind his back atop the peak, and seeing the seven-colored light flames of the Sea-Stirring Rod and the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan, a hint of disdain appeared on his face.
Only when the Shinto Avatar made its move, did the threads of silver patterns on the phoenix arcane runes cause a slight change in his expression: "The power of the Law of Void. . ."
The pitch-black mountain peak stood firm within the Nether River, like an isolated island in the sea, allowing the seven-colored flames from the Sea-Stirring Rod and the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan to crash upon it, bursting open like fireworks.
Only when those silver flying birds arrived, did threads of silver light explode, striking the pitch-black seal-mountain, leaving behind streaks of marks.
"Primal Chaos Five Thunders. . ."
Old Ghost Meng coldly snorted, extending a single hand.
Upon his left hand, the Five Elements Divine Lightning of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth appeared, then reversed their rotation, giving birth to threads of pitch-black electric light!
The power of the Law of Destruction swiftly emerged, meeting countless silver flying birds in mid-air.
The black radiance and silver threads intertwined, ultimately perishing together.
'This person. . . '
Fang Xi's eyes narrowed slightly at this sight: 'Such proficiency in the Five Elements Divine Lightning. . . it's almost comparable to someone with a perfected Five Elements Body. . . Could Five Elements Child be his illegitimate son? Or did the two of them dual cultivate? '
In the path of cultivation, there has always been the saying of wealth, companions, methods, and land.
Companions refers to Daoist Companions; they don't necessarily have to be romantic partners, but those who can complement one's cultivation methods and provide assistance are also 'Daoist Companions'!
Now that Old Ghost Meng's cultivation method's origins were revealed, Fang Xi somewhat understood why he had fiercely protected Five Elements Child before, even personally stepping in to kill Fang Xian Daoist. . .
No more tonight
