Chapter 1004: Chapter 860: The Battle of Tongbei

Hu!

The Tongbei Great Saint’s true form is that of the king among the Tongbei Monkeys, capable of seizing the sun and moon, shrinking a thousand mountains, and manipulatively the universe!

Having cultivated to the seventh stage peak, comparable to the Perfect Integration stage of the human race, the Sky Demon Qi surged to the heavens, causing even ordinary Integration cultivators to flee in embarrassment.

Not to mention, in his hand was a black staff, a damaged Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure—the ’Sea-beating Stick’!

Although this Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure was broken, it was highly compatible with the Tongbei Great Saint’s inherited cultivation methods. After being sacrificially refined, it could unleash most of its formidable power, earning the title ’Number One in Combat’!

Even the Primeval Great Saint, and that Heavenly Phoenix, before their sprint towards the Mahayana, were slightly inferior in their ability to duel.

At this moment, with the fall of the staff, it truly had the ability to turn rivers and seas upside down.

On the black staff, one Immortal Mansion Secret Inscription after another lit up, casting a drab halo.

The pitch-black radiance fell, and the Demon Qi around Fang Xi instantly shattered, unable to block it in the slightest!

Even the Power of Rules sealed off the Void, preventing him from using tools like the Great Void Transposition Talisman to escape!

He had no choice but to take this strike forcibly!

’Under this staff, an ordinary early-stage Integration, no, a mid-stage Integration cultivator, I’m afraid they would be smashed to pulp, right?’

Fang Xi’s eyes flickered slightly as a gray and white bead emerged in his hand.

A glow flickered on the bead, and the image of a Skull appeared.

As soon as the Skull faced the wind, it swelled up. In a moment, it expanded to about an acre in size, surrounded by swirling Ghost Qi and filled with the cries of countless ghostly souls, making the area within a hundred miles seem like a Ghost Domain.

It was precisely a Perfect Integration Yellow Spring Sky Ghost!

"Want to duel with me? Defeat my Ghost Slave first!"

Fang Xi laughed heartily.

Although Ghost Cultivators were weak in Magic Power, even a lowly Yellow Spring Sky Ghost was at Perfect Integration!

With some Ghost Path Secret Skills, coupled with his own Demon Skills, it was definitely not a problem to hold off the Tongbei Great Saint for a short time!

"This is... a Yellow Spring Sky Ghost?"

The Tongbei Great Saint actually recognized the Yellow Spring Sky Ghost, it seemed he had encountered the Carefree Sky Demon King before.

At this moment, he let out an angry roar. His fangs protruded from his mouth, revealing his ferocious true monkey form, and a spray of earthy yellow light burst forth from his mouth.

Wherever the yellow light passed, a multitude of lonely spirits and wild ghosts instantly dissolved into streaks of white light.

With a breath of his essence expelled, it landed on the ’Sea-beating Stick’, causing a vicious monkey head to suddenly appear at the top of the staff, letting out a roar.

Bang!

The ’Sea-beating Stick’ hit the bright white Skull squarely, with a multitude of dull yellow energy overflowing.

Crack!

A crack appeared on the Skull, then rapidly expanded in all directions, shattering into pieces with a loud noise.

Rattle!

The Skull, about the size of an acre, instantly crumbled, turning into thousands of stark white Bone Relics.

The White Bone Relics rapidly grew, from head to torso, to limbs... turning into numerous White Bone God Devils.

These White Bone God Devils held magical instruments, sat cross-legged on white bone lotus flowers, barely forming an Array.

"Array of the Ten Thousand Ghosts—the Skeleton!"

The Netherworld Sky Ghost gave a slight smile and exclaimed, "Rise!"

A part of the void that resembled the gloomy Ghost Domain opened up and swallowed the Tongbei Great Saint...

After completing all these tasks, a white bone skull flew back to Fang Xi’s side, transforming into the image of an old yellow-clad servant with a wry smile on his face, "That ferocious monkey almost tore your old servant’s bones apart..."

In reality, if Fang Xi had merely been a middle stage Integration Cultivator, chances are this ghost slave might have revolted.

Although they were both at the pinnacle of Integration.

But could a Ghost Cultivator and a Monster Clan Saint in possession of treasures from the Immortal Mansion really be compared?

This was sending it to its death!

Yet, thinking about the God Path Lord behind his opponent and the "Six Heavens Old Ghost General" talisman on himself, the Netherworld Sky Ghost reluctantly endured it from the bottom of his heart.

"This formation is not bad..."

Seeing the Formation of the Netherworld actually capable of trapping the Tongbei Great Saint, Fang Xi’s eyes sparkled with interest.

"This is an ultimate technique of this old servant, it is a formation utilizing the omnipresent power of the ’Netherworld’. Hence, it harbors a portion of the Netherworld’s Power of Rules, holds countless living souls within, and even Ghost Creatures of Integration caliber from the Yellow Springs can be found inside. It can also confuse Divine Consciousness and is capable of trapping great saints," explained the Netherworld Sky Ghost with a slight hint of pride.

"Indeed, not bad..." Fang Xi’s eyes flickered with a thoughtful light.

The Netherworld is a very peculiar realm, possibly overlapping with the entire Earth Immortal Realm, or even related to ’Reincarnation’.

However, Immortal Cultivators don’t believe in that.

The so-called ’Netherworld’ is perhaps just a uniquely special Medium Thousand Worlds, suitable only for the existence of Ghost Cultivators and Ghost Creatures.

Yet this Netherworld Sky Ghost, being able to leverage the power of the Netherworld, caused Fang Xi to hold him in higher regard.

It was no wonder he was a ghost slave who had cultivated to the peak of Integration; his experience in combat and his hidden cards were quite abundant.

Unfortunately, the Netherworld Sky Ghost’s laughter did not last long before it turned into a cry of shock.

Roar!

Accompanied by a desolate monkey shriek, on the Formation of the Netherworld, the powers of the Yellow Springs were torn apart, revealing two large, furry palms.

The two palms gripped the array’s light screen and suddenly tore it apart!

Rustle rustle rustle!

Countless prohibitions broke, and the white bone lotus stand turned to ashes, revealing a gigantic ferocious monkey that was tens of thousands of feet tall!

This monkey was covered with pitch-black fur and had two thick arms growing out of its back, which were the ones that had directly torn through the great array just now.

It had one head and four arms, and its two arms were grasping the ’Sea-beating Stick’, a rare treasure from the Immortal Mansion that had also become incredibly large, resembling a towering black pillar.

It was the true form of the Tongbei Monkey!

At this moment, the violent monkey trembled all over!

From the fur on the monkey’s back, strands of hair flew out, turning into black flying swords, piercing right through those White Bone God Devils!

This was the innate Divine Skill of the ’Tongbei Monkey’ which could refine all the body’s fur into formidable magical artifacts. Combined with the Tongbei Great Saint’s sword array technique, once unleashed, it was as if tens of thousands of flying swords formed a sword array, with Sword Qi extending three thousand miles. The power was unimaginably great, smashing the Netherworld Sky Ghost’s Formation of the Netherworld.

Not only that, the remaining thousand plus flying swords surged toward Fang Xi like a flood!

Fang Xi snorted coldly and also revealed his Transformative God Demon Body, spitting out a Blood-red Flying Sword from his mouth, his life-bound magical artifact—the Divine Infant Sword!

This sword was covered with countless blood-colored sword marks, and with a thunderous roar, it also transformed into a huge sword, held by both hands of the God Demon Body.

He seemed not quite satisfied and spewed out another mouthful of the six-path Demon Flames, causing a layer of pitch-black Demon Flames to burn atop the Divine Infant Sword.

After Fang Xi advanced to the Integration stage, both the Divine Infant Sword and the six-path Demon Flames naturally elevated to the seventh rank.

At that moment, the black and red sword light of the blood-red giant sword fiercely met the oncoming flood of flying swords.

Clang Clang Clang!

Countless Sword Qi entangled and dissipated...

On the body of the Divine Infant Sword itself, innumerable black flying swords landed like mosquitoes, making a sound like rain hitting banana leaves.

Roar!

The Demon Fire boiled furiously, with abrupt changes, resembling a pitch-black python that caught the flying swords in its mouth.

Those flying swords let out a sudden mournful scream within the six-path Demon Flames, reverted by nature to monkey fur, and then burned to ashes.

Meanwhile, the Yellow Spring Sky Ghost that had actively attempted to obstruct the Tungbei Great Saint was sent flying by a ferocious blow from a giant ape.

With a roar, the giant ape did not pursue the Yellow Spring Sky Ghost. Instead, its massive body took a step forward, pressing down like a huge mountain, and the exceedingly large ’Sea-beating Stick’ smashed down with a vengeful force!

...

On the battlefield, Jin Gangzi and the Sage Wuya had disappeared without a trace.

Mo Yunzi and the Nine-Tailed Great Saint were still entangled indeterminately.

On the other hand, Wu Xingzi summoned five big Integration incarnations around him to form a Five Elements Array, jointly wielding the ’Five Elements Bell,’ and actually managed to suppress the Xuan Lin Great Saint.

He glanced over the battlefield, only to see that after the seventh-rank Monster Clan took action, the human race was inevitably still at a disadvantage.

Wu Xingzi sighed inwardly and slightly relaxed his grip, yet he continued to fight fiercely with the Xuan Lin Great Saint.

Roar!

Accompanied by a dragon’s roar, a terrifying blue Flood Dragon appeared above the battleground.

Its scales shone like blue jade, its dragon horns forked, claws bearing five toes, and a reverse scale at its throat.

Strictly speaking, it was already very similar to a True Dragon.

It was the Flood Dragon true form of the ’Sky-Flipping Great Saint’!

With a flick of its tail, the radiance of the ’Three Immortal Ring’ abruptly extinguished, and then the three Gao brothers were sent flying out, with the youngest of the Gao brothers exploding in mid-air, only his Nascent Soul managing to escape narrowly by using Instant Teleportation Skills.

"Haha... Where is the Flying Bull Army?"

The Sky-Flipping Great Saint bellowed.

From within the Monster Clan army, a strange platoon emerged.

Most of them were transformed bull demons, wearing heavy armor, their black horns gleaming with various runes, wielding all sorts of heavy weapons.

"Moo!"

Under the lead of a seventh-rank Monster cultivator, they all roared angrily.

"Follow me to break through the lines!"

The Sky-Flipping Great Saint howled, pressing down with his dragon claw.

Above Heaven Origin City, the sturdy Array light screen trembled violently.

Where the aftereffects passed, several Spirit Cannons were instantly destroyed.

...

Inside the Heavenly Machine House.

Ji Feixue was somewhat frazzled, "The core of the Five Elements Mount Sumeru divine formation is shattered, immediately switch to the backup Array Eye..."

"The Flying Bull Army? The Monster Clan’s fresh troops? The Sky Brahman Army has already taken the lead, and now we can only stall them with Wu Xingzi’s Five Elements Taoist Soldiers for a bit..."

"And there’s the Sky-Flipping Great Saint..."

Looking at the Flood Dragon rampantly attacking the Array, even Ji Feixue couldn’t help feeling a sense of powerlessness.

Although there were still several human race cultivators at the Integration stage, they were even less capable than the Gao brothers and obviously no match for this Sky-Flipping Great Saint.

"If Changqingzi were still here..."

At this point, she couldn’t help harboring many complaints against Changqingzi.

Just then, amidst the many Array Masters seated cross-legged, one in a white robe with a white bandana covering his face suddenly raised his hands.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Numerous black beads shot out in all directions, amidst them were balls of fire, which churned with countless Immortal Mansion Secret Inscriptions.

Boom!

Li Ruoling and Wang Lingying’s faces were stricken with horror as they saw a Heavenly Machine House within Heaven Origin City collapse explosively, with several beams of spiritual light shooting out from it.

"You’re not Master Hao!"

Ji Feixue was protected by a white ribbon swirling around her. Looking at the badly injured Array Masters and at that ’Master Hao,’ her eyes nearly spat fire.

However, the white-robed Hao surnamed Array Master just smiled slightly, "Ji Sir... I’ve always been Hao Ren. I’ve been him since his Foundation Establishment..."

"Heart Tribe people?"

Ji Feixue immediately thought of something, her heart shocked.

The people of the Alien Heart Tribe could perfectly perform Soul Possession and mimic the original owner’s aura.

She had not anticipated that this person had been lurking among the human race for so long, buried so deep, ascending all the way to the Integration stage, and becoming a famous Array Grandmaster. After many screenings, he entered the core of this battle’s Array deployment.

All of it, just for today!

Boom boom boom!

The destruction of the Heavenly Machine House as the Array hub caused wails to arise from all over Heaven Origin City.

One Array Eye after another crumbled, and the elated Sky-Flipping Great Saint outside spouted out group after group of azure orbs, falling across various parts of Heaven Origin City.

Boom!

The protective Great Array of Heaven Origin City was utterly breached!

"You must die!"

Ji Feixue summoned a snow-white flying sword, ready to strike at Hao Ren.

Hao Ren shot backward rapidly, laughing loudly, "Rather than chasing me down, Ji Sir might want to check on that secondary hub you prepared... Your plan to create an illusion of the Array being broken at a critical moment, to draw the enemy deeply into our territory before rebuilding the Array to trap them, I had already considered that... That place is probably now... heh heh..."

"What?"

Hearing this, Ji Feixue’s face turned pale.

In her hand, a jade pendant appeared, and just as she was about to say something, a layer of blood appeared on the pendant, and an anxious voice came through, "Elder Ji... it’s terrible, the second Heavenly Machine House has been disrupted by an unknown Array, cast into the Void..."

"Moo!"

A black-armored bull-headed demon lightly leaped and stepped onto the top of Heaven Origin City, raising its head to let out a bloodthirsty roar filled with rage!
