Chapter 915: Immortal Array and Dao Seed
Rumble!
How terrifying was the might of a True Immortal?
A radius of ten thousand li was entirely transformed into a forbidden zone!
The Earthly Immortal World itself even rumbled, and thunderclouds appeared on the horizon, yet unable to locate the descending True Immortal, they reluctantly dispersed.
And this ten-thousand-li region was destined to become a renowned perilous land in the cultivation world!
Even Void Amalgamation cultivators, if not careful, would directly perish!
"Hmm? "
Fang Xi's Divine Consciousness stirred, and his entire being retreated explosively in an instant.
In an instant, cloud qi steamed around him, transforming into nine layers of palace-like structures, stacked one upon another, firmly protecting Fang Xi within.
Almost simultaneously with the manifestation of the nine layers of palace-like phantoms, several dragon scale flying blades attacked from different directions, their power of time interfering with space, even preventing Fang Xi from teleporting!
Bang, bang, bang!
Three dragon scale flying blades fell into the palace-like phantoms, flying wildly like headless flies.
Then, the nine layers of palace-like structures rumbled, and an invisible colossal force descended.
The dragon scales stalled, then suddenly burst apart one after another.
Fang Xi's expression shifted, and he swept his gaze towards the center of the battlefield.
There, amidst the shattered endless void and chaotic currents, the Ancestral Dragon stood proudly.
Though a golden halberd was impaled in its chest, and its dragon blood flowed profusely, its face betrayed not a single expression. In its hand, it held a grizzled, long banner.
From the banner's surface, streaks of brownish-red blood marks flew out, transforming into phoenixes, true dragons, qilins, basaltic tortoises, and even celestial snakes, Kui wolves, giant elephants, and other demon races. . . guarding the Ancestral Dragon's surroundings.
Of the nine golden halberds from the 'Heavenly Punishing Nine Halberds Talisman' earlier, at least six were blocked by the 'Demon-Summoning Banner'!
Of the remaining three, two were fended off by the Ancestral Dragon, while one still inflicted heavy injuries upon it.
"It's actually a true immortal's talisman. "
It muttered.
Immortal Abode True Talismans were exceedingly rare, not only because only True Immortals could craft them, but also because true immortal-grade talisman paper, ink, brushes, and other materials were difficult to find in the lower realms.
Even within some Immortal Abode Secret Realms, one could often only unearth incomplete and inferior products.
Back then, that Progenitor Phoenix had used its own essence blood as talisman ink, combined with incomplete talisman paper and brushes found in the secret realm. . . to barely refine a few 'Heavenly Demon Talismans'. Moreover, due to the lack of true true immortal-grade talisman crafting inheritance, the 'Heavenly Demon Talismans' it left behind could only be considered 'quasi-immortal talismans', still a considerable distance from the 'Heavenly Punishing Nine Halberds Talisman' Fang Xi had just unleashed.
"A Ninth Tribulation Mahayana, who still hasn't ascended to become an immortal and condense an immortal body, yet can remain undying under the previous assault. . . "
Fang Xi sighed, "Now I truly understand how astonishingly brilliant genuine geniuses are. Ancestral Dragon, you are truly worthy of the title 'Progenitor of the Demon Race'. . . "
The Ancestral Dragon looked at Fang Xi, who was meticulously guarded by the impenetrable defenses of the nine layers of Heavenly Palace, and suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion. Even with its heaven-defying talent, facing these Immortal Abode True Talismans being scattered as if they were free, it still found itself struggling to cope.
Pfft!
It violently pulled out the golden halberd from its chest, clenching its fingers with force.
Crack!
Cracks appeared one after another on the golden halberd, then it instantly transformed into countless Geng Metal qi and dispersed. . .
"This old one. . . will now go all out. "
The Ancestral Dragon formed a hand seal with one hand and waved the 'Demon-Summoning Banner'.
The surrounding time faintly fluctuated, causing Fang Xi's expression to become incomparably solemn.
Strands of inexplicable light appeared, none other than threads of the Law of Time!
Whoosh!
Screech!
At this moment, under the empowerment of the phantoms of various demon beasts on the Demon-Summoning Banner, these threads actually intertwined, forming chains of law!
Chains of Law!
This was an comprehension of laws only possessed by True Immortal-level beings!
Once unleashed, their might far surpassed that of a Mahayana.
The Law of Time, far surpassing ordinary laws, possessed exceptionally unique effects.
Swish!
Streaks of chains of law, seemingly formed by countless purple dragon-script characters, swept towards the Ancestral Dragon!
In an instant, they coiled around the Ancestral Dragon layer upon layer, even piercing into its shoulder blades!
"Hmm? "
Seeing the Ancestral Dragon's seemingly self-mutilating action, Fang Xi couldn't help but frown.
Then, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.
Wherever the chains of the Law of Time passed, the blood-stained wound on the Ancestral Dragon's chest vanished instantly, as if it had never been injured!
In terms of recovery ability, it was only stronger than his own!
"Anchor of Time? Anchoring the past? The past unchanged, time undying? "
Fang Xi murmured, finding it incredibly thorny to deal with.
As if to verify something, the 'Life and Death Seal' appeared in his hand, and a phantom of the Progenitor Demonic Tree unfurled.
The Withered Glory Mystic Light was held back, unreleased. A flicker of yellow-green light passed through his eyes, and then a hint of shock appeared on his face.
He actually couldn't perceive the Ancestral Dragon's lifespan!
After all, the opponent was merely a creation of time; it truly had no future, only the present!
And now, it had also anchored its past!
'In other words. . . its time was already constant, unchangeable. '
'My Law of Time is still a notch inferior to its, making it difficult to brush away [its effects]. This is troublesome. . . '
Fang Xi began to ponder countermeasures in his mind, even preparing to simply leave.
After all, when it came to escaping, perhaps no one in the True Immortal World could even compare to him!
And though the Ancestral Dragon now dominated the present, it had no future!
In other words, as long as a period of time passed, it was certain to die!
Otherwise, the Demon Race would have long since dominated the Earthly Immortal World.
It was simple enough for Fang Xi to leave by himself, but bringing along Qingxu Tongzi and the others would expose some secrets.
"Qing Hezi! "
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon roared violently, "Don't you dare leave! "
Swish!
Fang Xi suddenly felt the surrounding void grow somewhat strange, and chains of time appeared one after another.
'Mere true immortal-grade chains of law forcibly empowered by an Immortal Abode Rare Treasure. . . with the All-Heavens Precious Mirror, they'd break in an instant. '
He sneered inwardly, his intent to kill similarly rising sharply at this moment.
"Go! "
Mahayana-grade immortal essence power was injected into the 'Summoning Armor Talisman'.
A layer of golden light burst and flickered, the talisman fiercely ignited, and circles of golden ripples emerged upon it.
Countless golden ripples converged, transforming into a golden-armored divine general.
It stood ten zhang tall, with a mighty appearance and an expressionless face. . . At this moment, under Fang Xi's simple Divine Consciousness manipulation, it immediately roared and pressed a palm towards the Ancestral Dragon!
Whoosh!
In the void, a colossal golden hand suddenly appeared. Golden flowers bloomed in its palm, carrying destructive light-flames that seemed capable of incinerating everything.
Streaks of chains of the Law of Time fell upon the golden-armored divine general, causing its form to become momentarily illusory.
"Roar! "
But in the next moment, it roared, and its magical power fluctuations instantly grew even stronger!
"Another Immortal Abode True Talisman? ! "
The Ancestral Dragon felt utterly helpless in its heart, and suddenly let out a dragon's roar.
The shadowy true dragon form coiling around its body soared up, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, crashing into the colossal golden palm.
Roar, roar!
The dragon's roar and the golden-armored divine general's furious bellow intermingled. The golden-armored divine general's radiance dimmed slightly, yet it could still endure.
'This talisman isn't good, I want a refund. . . '
Seeing this scene, Fang Xi couldn't help but inwardly complain.
Then, under the protection of the nine layers of Heavenly Palace, he formed hand seals, and the Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm opened.
With his own safety secured, this Ancestral Dragon was actually an excellent opponent.
It would allow him to test the results of his strongest techniques against a True Immortal!
Swish, swish!
Two streaks of silver light flickered, and the External Avatar, clad in the Heaven's Sorrow Five Elements Armor, and the Shinto Avatar appeared one after another.
A layer of verdant green light appeared, and the vast power of the spiritual domain caused the chains of the Law of Time to emit faint wails as they struggled to maintain their seal.
"Rise! "
The External Avatar was the first to wave a large banner in its hand.
The 'Netherworld Banner' was now a genuine eighth-rank semi-immortal artifact, and its might surged under his unhesitating expenditure of Immortal Jade!
Whoosh!
A Nine Serene Netherworld River appeared, instantly transforming this place into a profound black sea.
Countless sand and stones floated and sank in the sea, and faintly, a phantom of a flood dragon stirred up waves at the bottom of the sea.
—Nine Serene Sand River Grand Array!
The Shinto Avatar smiled faintly, its Divine Domain unfolded, and various array-setting tools, array plates, and array flags appeared, forming a grand array — the Grand Void Transforming Nether Plough Head Seven Stars Formation!
This array, using him as its source of power, and pushed by a Mahayana cultivator, reached at least eighth-rank might!
At this moment, the two grand arrays harmoniously merged together.
Streaks of misfortune-dispelling and calamity-resolving fortune profound light descended into the Profound Nether Sea, merging with the Profound Nether Salvation and Evil-Removing Divine Light, instantly transforming the profound black sea into a murky yellow hue.
Fang Xi's main body's Life and Death Seal landed on one of the array's vital points, causing the phantom of the Progenitor Demonic Tree to descend, seemingly taking root deep within the murky yellow sea.
The Earthly Immortal Spiritual Realm opened, and a pseudo-immortal meridian directly ignited, infusing boundless immortal qi into the array's vital point, powering the grand array's operation.
Countless branches and vines swept forth, stirring up streams of murky yellow water, like the Nine Bends Yellow River, enveloping the Ancestral Dragon that was currently entangled with the golden-armored divine general!
This was — the 'Nine Bends Yellow River Three Flowers Immortal Array'!
And it was the true complete form of the grand array, representing the summary and essence of Fang Xi's cultivation of array dao to this day!
In terms of might, it had already reached the ninth-rank!
It was a true and genuine Immortal Array!
Furthermore, among all Immortal Arrays, it was an exceptionally unique one!
Pfft!
At this moment, the Ancestral Dragon's palm, covered in purple dragon scales, pierced through the golden-armored divine general's torso, seizing an already dimmed Immortal Abode True Talisman in its hand.
Crack!
It clenched its five fingers slightly, and this Immortal Abode True Talisman finally completely exhausted its last shred of radiance, burning away to nothing.
Buzz!
A layer of chains of the Law of Time trembled slightly, and the wounds left on the Ancestral Dragon's body by the golden-armored divine general instantly recovered as good as new.
And at this moment, the Nine Bends Yellow River descended from the sky, cascading down three thousand chi, like nine ten-thousand-zhang yellow dragons, enveloping a shadowy true dragon within!
Streaks of profound light merged, brushing upon the shadowy true dragon's body.
"Heavenly Official bestows blessings, Earth Official pardons sins, Water Official resolves calamities. . . Big Dipper diminishes lifespan, Profound Nether reduces fortune, Grand Void transforms blessings. . . Decree! "
The murky yellow giant dragons rolled, but Fang Xi's brow furrowed. He perceived the Ancestral Dragon's aura dropping slightly, yet on the aspect of time, there was practically no effect whatsoever. Instead, it had instantly fallen into a low ebb in terms of fortune.
'It seems the Ancestral Dragon doesn't have much comprehension of the Law of Karma and Fortune. . . '
Fang Xi made adjustments from the center, adapting to the situation as a ninth-rank array master.
Roar, roar!
The nine giant dragons roared together, spewing forth endless 'misfortune-dispelling and calamity-resolving fortune profound light', striking the Ancestral Dragon in an instant.
Even though the Ancestral Dragon continuously 'refreshed' its own state with chains of the Law of Time, it still inevitably plunged into a low ebb of fortune.
At this moment!
Fang Xi was suddenly inspired, and a streak of 'Supreme Pole Star Life-Ending Divine Light' shot out.
This time, within the divine light, there was actually a trace of half-black, half-white Law power.
—The Law of Life and Death!
Under the empowerment of the 'Nine Bends Yellow River Three Flowers Immortal Array', this thread of the Law of Life and Death suddenly sublimated, transforming into a translucent, illusory, black-and-white mottled seed.
Compared to last time, this seed, empowered by the array's might, appeared even more plump and perfectly round.
"A prototype Dao Seed? The bearing of a Dao Monarch! "
Upon seeing this scene, the Ancestral Dragon's eyes instantly bulged, and a deeply ominous feeling flashed through its heart: "How is this possible? How unjust is Heaven? Why can a human possess the bearing of a Dao Monarch? ! "
"Should I become the Green Emperor in years to come, I shall announce it when the peach blossoms bloom together! "
The black-and-white mottled prototype Dao Seed appeared, the Immortal Array roared, manifesting a phantom of an Emperor. In its hand, a branch of peach blossoms bloomed in profusion, and its radiance suddenly swept over the Ancestral Dragon!
