Chapter 1008: Chapter 864: Late Stage of Integration (Happy National Day!)

Qing Hezi’s killing of the Carefree Sky Demon King was hardly a secret.

Although, at the time, the Carefree Sky Demon King had already relinquished the title of one of the Six Demon Kings, and it coincided with the alliance between the human race and the Demon Clan, the demons, upon learning of it, pretended not to know.

But it was rather awkward.

What if the humans forcibly delegated the task?

Hehe... would Fang Xi not refuse and run away?

The title of one of the Five Sons of the Human Race may be a glory worth dying for to others within the human race.

But for Fang Xi, it was just that... nothing more.

"If there are no surprises, this time the one supporting the Demon Clan should still be Mo Yunzi."

Ji Feixue also thought it was unlikely and shared her judgment.

After discussing the serious matters, her eyes filled with laughter, "Recently, I’ve redeemed a ’Heaven and Earth Union Yin Yang Joyful Song’ from the Merit List. I have many questions about it and would like to ask you to not stint on your guidance..."

"It is actually this extraordinary secret skill?"

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up, "Then naturally, there are many aspects we could discuss..."

...

The days that followed were still dull and monotonous.

Fang Xi spent his days either patrolling Heaven Origin City or dealing with Ji Feixue who came to discuss cultivation techniques with him.

As the human race began to reclaim lost territories, the strategic significance of Heaven Origin City gradually decreased, and troops began to withdraw one after another.

Qingxu Child and other Mahayana Monks followed suit.

And indeed, as decided by the consensus of the Five Sons, it was Mo Yunzi who took command and went to support the Demon Clan again.

Fang Xi was immediately happy to have some leisure time, taking along Zhai Xingzi and a bunch of crooked melons and split dates under his command to continue garrisoning Heaven Origin City.

Several years later, Ji Feixue finished repairing the Great Array and said her farewells to leave.

As a Mahayana Monk of the Black Tortoise Pavilion and one of the top three Array Masters in the human race, during this time of great war, there were too many places that needed her talents.

Fang Xi was not the least bit reluctant to let her go, casually waving her off, which caused Ji Feixue to feel quite aggrieved.

...

Time flowed like water, and the years passed quickly.

Falling Sky Island.

Inside the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.

Fang Xi himself was sitting cross-legged in a hot spring.

In the waters of the spring, there were various body refining Spirit Medicines.

His skin shone like jade, emitting a pale golden radiance, his pores opened wide like little whirlpools, absorbing all the Spiritual Liquid in the pool.

Suddenly, behind him, a phantom of a Great Sun appeared.

Within the phantom of the Great Sun, a ’True Body of Sky Demon’ emerged.

"The Integration period technique for ’Sky Demon Slaying Immortal Tactics,’ I found the avatar from the Merit List, so there’s no need to wait for Xiao Qing or Little Mysterious Turtle to break through to Integration..."

Fang Xi’s thoughts churned, and he recited a series of complex and difficult incantations.

With the sound of the incantations, runes were branded onto the ’True Body of Sky Demon,’ as if dressing it in a layer of runic armor.

Even the ’sun’ behind the True Body of Sky Demon began to retract into its back, transforming into a coronal seal.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xi was quite satisfied, "It wasn’t a waste of my effort to redeem so many treasures suitable for body refining with my battle merits..."

"Now I finally have completely integrated Jin Gangzi’s body refining techniques with the Demon Clan’s secret ’True Body of Sky Demon’..."

He clenched his fingers lightly and felt the surge of power continuously gushing from every part of his body, and he couldn’t help but smile, "With my current physical strength, I might even be able to tangle with that monkey for a while now, right?"

Whooosh!

Fang Xi leapt out of the hot spring and put on a green Spiritual Robe in mid-air.

With a slight lift of his hand, a pitch-black stick fell into his grasp—it was the ’Sea-beating Stick’!

This rare treasure from the Immortal Mansion was extremely heavy; even Fang Xi found wielding it a bit strenuous before.

Now, with a casual swing, even the Void was directly shattered, giving him a feeling of encountering a fine talent.

After getting acquainted with the incomplete treasure from the Immortal Mansion, Fang Xi was thinking about going out when the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm suddenly shook violently!

Above, the clumps of blue Celebrating Clouds were once again completed by a strand.

Up to now, they covered an area of sixty-six thousand acres!

Feeling as if water would overflow at any moment, Fang Xi knew that his opportunity to advance to the later stage of Integration had finally arrived!

"It wasn’t a waste of my Immortal Jades..."

"This promotion has come faster than I expected!"

He smiled slightly, took a step out, and arrived at the Nine State Sect’s station in the outer world.

The world sensed it, and immediately, thunderclouds surged, with gold and silver colors alternating incessantly, engulfing the area with dense Heavenly Might!

"A Minor Heavenly Tribulation for Integration?"

"The Taoist Master is going to advance again!"

Ghost Axe and Demon Exterminator saw this scene and did not feel the slightest bit surprised.

Given the dominate status of the Nine State Sect over Falling Sky Island, for Fang Immortal Taoist Master to be only at the middle stage of Integration was indeed a little low...

Of course, those dead Alien race Integrations couldn’t come out to object either...

Whoosh!

Fang Xi turned into a streak of blue light and left the island, heading out into the depths of the ocean.

This time, the Minor Heavenly Tribulation for advancing from the middle to the later stage of Integration was far more powerful than ever before, so it was better not to test the Sect Protection Array of the Nine State Sect.

Whooosh!

It was as if the sky had split open, with countless rain of blood falling down.

Fang Xi, ignoring the cosmic phenomena, simply concentrated on running the Kuyong Skills, his aura shifting from withered to flourishing, and then back, changing nine times in an instant!

The Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm shuddered as sixty-six thousand acres of Mother Qi of All Woods converged, forming a blue celebration cloud that channeled into every corner of the Spirit Realm, causing the void to shatter and the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm to begin its expansion anew.

Right after the breakthrough of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, Fang Xi took a deep breath as the bottleneck of the late Integration Period within him broke through as if it were inevitable.

Within the Dantian Qi Ocean, a two-foot-tall Nascent Soul grinned slightly; its form grew once more, reaching about three feet in height, with a skin that glowed with a faint peach hue, resembling a delicately-carved mortal child.

The magic power of the Kuyong Skills at the late Integration Period wound through the major meridians in the body like flood dragons.

Boom!

The moment Fang Xi broke through to the late stage of Integration, above the dome of the sky, the Minor Heavenly Tribulation finally ceased its hesitation, and a gold and silver twin-colored lightning struck down resoundingly!

"Too weak..."

He spread his arms, with the True Body of Sky Demon emerging and actually taking the initiative to meet the gold and silver twin-colored lightning.

Boom!

The thunderclap roared and upon striking the True Body of Sky Demon, it immediately collapsed, turning many lightning snakes into thin wisps...

"Not even capable of drawing out my Thousands Demon Armor..."

Fang Xi muttered to himself as a succession of gold and silver lightning fell one after another.

Booming sounds thundered!

In the blink of an eye, there was lightning ninefold!

Not until then did the True Body of Sky Demon shrink down by half under the bombardment of lightning, becoming nearly the same size as Fang Xi’s true form, with pieces of the Thousands Demon Armor fracturing one by one.

Within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, the incarnation of ’East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor’ from the divine path held the remnant Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure—the Sky-sealing Tower, ready to give support at any time.

’The main body, fusing the body refining techniques of the esoteric sects with the Monster Clan cultivation methods... Body refining should be comparable to the late stage of Integration!’

’Together with the many evasion techniques and treasures...’

’I’m just the last resort.’

The God Path Lord stood with majesty, holding the ’Sky-sealing Tower’ in his hands, prepared to handle any unexpected event.

No matter if the Heavenly Tribulation’s power suddenly surged or another Alien race Integration cultivator fearlessly came for a life-for-life fight, Fang Xi stood undaunted.

Alas...

His notoriety had long since spread across Falling Sky Island, and not a single Integration stage cultivator would be unwise enough to actively deliver themselves to him.

’Without even the courage to challenge a supreme being, why practice cultivation at all?’

The divine path incarnation snorted coldly.

Although ever since he set foot on the path of cultivation he had been very cautious, he still hoped that his enemies would be rash and mindless... of course, better yet to have no enemies at all.

Outside.

Another gold and silver Heavenly Thunder fell.

Fang Xi let out a long laugh and, holding the ’Sea-beating Stick’ upside down, he fiercely struck out with it!

Crash!

Circles of secret runes from the Immortal Mansion lit up on the Sea-beating Stick, and wherever the murky radiance passed, the thunder was promptly dissipated.

This was not transforming the tribulation, but rather using formidable magic power combined with Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure to forcefully scatter the heavenly tribulation!

’Previously during Returning to Emptiness, using the Green Barley Sword once was extremely taxing... but now in the late stage of Integration, wielding a damaged Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure is much easier...’

With the stick in hand, Fang Xi’s chest swelled with boundless pride.

He felt that even against several Integration cultivators, he could strike them down, one by one, with the stick and beat them to death!

At this moment, his arms swung, the ’Sea-beating Stick’ shattering the thunder...

Crack!

The eighteenth gold and silver twin-colored Heavenly Tribulation struck down resoundingly.

Regrettably, after being weakened by the power of the Spirit Domain from the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, its might was reduced significantly!

Fang Xi held the ’Sea-beating Stick’ with both hands, a stick to prop the sky.

The gold and silver Heavenly Tribulation crashed apart...

Then, threads of rain full of thunder essence fell.

"Late stage of Integration, achieved!"

Fang Xi’s eyes showed neither joy nor sorrow, as if this was all within his expectations:

"Now, I just need to patiently wait to gather one hundred thousand acres of Mother Qi of All Woods for perfect Integration, and the prospect of Mahayana is on the horizon!"

"Initially, going by the speed of a hundred acres of Mother Qi of All Woods per year, it would take over three hundred years... But now, it’s unnecessary."

The Heterodox incarnation recently sent back quite some good stuff, including all sorts of precious body refining materials, as well as resources like the Golden Brahma Demon Exterminating Bamboo.

Additionally, the main body spares no expense in using Immortal Jade daily to speed up the expansion of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.

According to Fang Xi’s estimation, in another one hundred to two hundred years, he could achieve Perfect Integration and charge towards Mahayana!

"Calculating the time... Falling Sky Island should also emerge around that time, which coincides well!"

In fact, even if Falling Sky Island delayed its descent, it would not be an issue for Fang Xi.

By using the Treasures of All Heavens, he could still have countless divine path powerhouses descend instantly into the Earth Immortal Realm!

Better yet, even more secret and swift!

The pretext is ready!

The Two Realms Gate of the Monster Clan is all in his possession after all!

Although it’s been long since it could be used, outsiders don’t know that!

By then, he’ll just have to release the bronze gate, secretly connect it with the Treasures of All Heavens, and with his current mastery in the Void, even a true Mahayana arriving wouldn’t spot a flaw.

Let alone, in the divine path, there are yet no Kings or Lords comparable to the Mahayana monks!

"Now with Falling Sky Island under my control, and the population thriving, many Heavenly Lords can be canonized by the God Path Lord..."

"But it would be best if Falling Sky Island descends on its own, only then will it be grand enough. Using the Treasures of All Heavens to make it seem like smuggling..."

Fang Xi secretly planned: "As for the Heterodox incarnation, it’s also time to give him a reward... The Carefree Sky Demon King has been imprisoned for so long, it’s time to send it on its way, incidentally assisting the Heterodox incarnation to advance to the late phase of Integration!"
