Chapter 1014: Chapter 870 Picking Peaches

This Yin Fire is not the fire of Ghost Cultivators.

Its nature is soft and almost transparent, with only the Void slightly distorting.

Even so, it can dissipate cultivation, refine Nascent Souls, and is one of the several types of flames most feared by cultivators.

Moreover, the Yin Fire arises directly from within the cultivator’s body and cannot be resisted at all, it can only be endured.

Changqingzi’s complexion changed, and his Mahayana aura rapidly weakened under the scorching burn of the Yin Fire.

At that moment, the armor on his body flashed, and fiery red patterns lit up, seemingly some sort of secret inscription from an Immortal Mansion.

Fiercely!

A layer of crimson flames rose, with numerous symbols tumbling within, entangling with the Yin Fire.

The Yin Fire then took on strands of bright red color.

Seeing this, Changqingzi’s face lit up with joy, he quickly recited several incantations, and then tossed out a wooden puppet.

This puppet seemed to be made from the heart of wood, with features vivid and lifelike, very similar to Changqingzi.

As soon as Changqingzi threw out the puppet, the flames on his body fell off like clothing and then enveloped the wooden puppet.

’The Yin Fire will never leave the cultivator, but Changqingzi, I don’t know where he found such an exotic treasure that can confuse the power of Yin Fire and then use the Substitution Puppet Skills, redirecting the Yin Fire...’

Fang Xi nodded again and again as he watched.

Changqingzi, as one of the Five Sons of Human Race, was quite well-prepared for the many tribulations of the Mahayana stage.

Especially this Yin Fire Tribulation, which would be a great disaster for cultivators of wood-based cultivation methods, seemed to have been easily escaped by him.

Boom!

In the next moment, the heavens and earth shook, and an intense Heavenly Might descended.

Even Integrating cultivators seemed unable to withstand such Heavenly Might, daring not to fly in the air, they were forced to descend to the ground.

Although Fang Xi could forcibly endure, it was pointless, and he also followed the crowd in descending his Escape Light.

He looked up to see thunderclouds churning, countless lightning snakes dancing wildly, the Void opening wide, and countless streams of electricity bursting forth, as if all the thunder from the Earth Immortal Realm had converged here.

In the Void, five colors converged, carrying the mighty power of Rules!

"Integrating cultivators face gold and silver dual-colored Immortal Thunder, but the Mahayana Immortal Thunder Tribulation is a convergence of five colors... this is the Immortal Thunder of Rules!"

Fang Xi, seeing this scene, couldn’t help but look solemn.

His original self will certainly be able to break through the Mahayana Period, but how to overcome the tribulation after the Mahayana Period will be up to him.

He was somewhat confident about the previous Wind and Fire Tribulations.

But seeing the might of the Mahayana Immortal Thunder Tribulation now, he wondered if the preparations made by his original self were still not enough?

Boom!

Accompanied by a thunderous sound that seemed capable of shattering the Divine Souls of lower-stage cultivators, a purple thunderbolt thunderously descended!

Around the purple thunderbolt lingered a halo of light in black, white, red, yellow, and green!

"The Thunder of Rules!"

Fang Xi watched intently as the slightly weakened green silhouette, following the Yin Fire Tribulation, appeared.

Seeing this, Changqingzi’s hands flashed with light, and a green jade umbrella emerged.

With his Mahayana-level Immortal Origin Power pouring into it, the green jade umbrella roared and instantly expanded, sheltering him within.

This was clearly a Treasure of Thunder Transformation!

Its function was somewhat similar to the ’Mixed Origin Heavenly Umbrella’ that Fang Xi had once obtained, but its grade was undoubtedly much higher, at least quasi-eighth rank!

Humming!

The green jade umbrella roared, its surface revealing streams of flowing light, numerous symbols flickering, interweaving a layered defense, facing the Five-Color Fairy Thunder.

In an instant, the might of the Fairy Thunder seemed diminished by ten to twenty percent as it struck straight onto the umbrella.

With a thunderous sound!

The umbrella was pierced through with a large hole, and a much-weakened Five-Color Fairy Thunder struck Changqingzi’s Body Protective Light Shield, and countless arcs of electricity spilled out.

At this moment, Changqingzi was surrounded by several rings of green leaf-shaped defenses, with six ancient tortoise shell shields floating around him, and he was also holding a few talismans, watching the heavens intently.

Seeing the first thunderbolt dissipate, his eyes showed no joy, only solemnity.

This ’Transformative Jade Umbrella’ was something he had managed to obtain through cunning and force, intending it for the first three layers of the Mahayana Immortal Thunder Tribulation.

Unexpectedly, just the first layer of the Immortal Thunder Tribulation had so easily destroyed it...

The Thunder Tribulation did not give Changqingzi time to breathe, as the second Five-Color Thunderbolt thunderously descended.

Changqingzi let out a clear cry, as the six tortoise shell shields around him flew out, rich with the Xuanwu Bloodline, seemingly made from the shells of sixth or seventh rank Profound Turtles, forming a set of excellent defensive treasures...

The lower-stage cultivators in Twin Banyan City watched Changqingzi unleashing one defensive treasure after another, combined with top-tier wood-based cultivation methods and secret skills, passing six stages of thunder in the blink of an eye, all with hopeful looks in their eyes.

Only Fang Xi and the tall lady had expressions tinged with a bit of solemnity.

’Changqingzi’s preparations are more than adequate... but alas...’

Boom!

The heavens and earth shook, the seventh Five-Color Thunderbolt bearing the might of Rules thunderously descended!

Changqingzi threw out a talisman.

The talisman was inscribed with countless golden and silver scripts, transforming into a massive light shield, apparently one of those legendary Immortal family secret talismans.

The Five-Color Thunderbolt tore through the light shield, then struck upon Changqingzi’s protective spiritual light.

That wisp of green spiritual light was engulfed by the thunderbolt... and then thunderously extinguished!

Seeing this, all the cultivators finally turned pale with shock.

"You want to kill me? Dream on!"

After the explosion of the Five-Color Immortal Thunder, a blue light flashed on the spot, and Changqingzi’s figure suddenly reappeared.

But his robes were torn apart, those green leaves were all scorched, and even many were destroyed...

Not only that, his chest was charred black, revealing a terrifying wound.

Changqingzi took a deep breath, and a flash of blue light soared from his chest.

Threads of emerald light flickered within his muscles and bones, repairing the organs. In an instant, he was restored to his original state.

His skin became as clear and lustrous as jade, with a delicate appearance, truly the image of a carefree Immortal.

"Eternal Green Body?"

Feeling the presence of a similar Spirit Body, Fang Xi’s pupils contracted, "This Changqingzi is really extraordinary..."

Before he could continue observing, the eighth Immortal Thunder Calamity thundered down.

This time, Changqingzi’s expression changed dramatically.

He formed hand seals and chanted incantations ceaselessly.

The Banyan Twin Trees rustled as a plethora of leaves fell, withering in an instant.

Terrifying wooden spiritual energy converged, enveloping Changqingzi.

In an instant, he transformed into a mighty Green-Wood Divine General clad in green armor, wielding a huge wooden shield and a long spear!

His aura was even stronger than the previous incarnation!

"No, City Master ah..."

Branches of the Banyan Twin Trees withered, and the Dongfus constructed upon them collapsed with a crash.

The higher-level Cultivators were fine, but some of the lower-level Cultivators couldn’t evade in time and were killed instantly.

For a moment, Twin Banyan City seemed to turn into purgatory, with countless Cultivators running and wailing, their eyes filled with hatred.

’This Changqingzi turned out to be the same incarnation that betrayed his original body...’

’For his own selfish desires, he doesn’t shrink from destroying everything...’

Fang Xi witnessed the Green-Wood Divine General holding the spear, soaring into the sky.

The patterns on the wooden spear became distinct, and with a sudden roar, it transformed into an Azure Dragon, facing the eighth Immortal Thunder!

The thunder roared, and the Azure Dragon wept blood!

Strings of Thunder Light not only shattered the Azure Dragon but also struck the massive body of the Green-Wood Divine General.

The Green-Wood Shield couldn’t withstand the lightning and exploded into pieces, followed immediately by the Divine General’s body!

Crash!

The Thunder Light fell, and Changqingzi’s jade crown on his head exploded, his whole person disheveled, with tears of blood streaming from his eyes, "No!"

He changed his hand seals again, frantically drawing vitality from the Banyan Twin Trees.

In that moment, Fang Xi felt as if he could hear the Banyan Twin Trees’ wailing.

This Heaven and Earth Spirit Root seemed to be extracted to the brink of extinction!

Even so, because of the massive drain on its reserves before, only threads of vital essence converged, barely forming a huge green skeletal frame.

And the last of the Immortal Thunder Calamity, the five-colored thunder, crashed down at this moment!

Light!

The blinding Thunder Light nearly made all the Cultivators close their eyes, searing the Divine Consciousness...

When the Thunder Light and dark clouds had all dissipated, Fang Xi opened his eyes and saw the Banyan Twin Trees stripped of leaves, their crown severely broken, and even the robust trunk was left with a massive scar from the lightning strike.

From the direction of the City Master’s Mansion, the void was in chaos, with no sign of ’Changqingzi’!

Only a few fragmented treasures, sparkling with spiritual light, Array Flags... were still hovering on the edge.

"Changqingzi... dead from tribulation?!"

The many Cultivators were like statues, and after a long time, a Returning to Emptiness Cultivator murmured.

Crash!

The crowd suddenly burst into uproar, and then a streak of Escape Light silently flew towards the shattered treasures.

Surging with Magic Power, it was an early-stage Integration Cultivator!

"Changqingzi is dead, grab his relics..."

An old Xiu roared ferociously.

Subsequently, many Cultivators seemed to be moved!

Fang Xi watched this scene, somewhat speechless.

’No matter how Changqingzi ruled before, just by recklessly draining the Banyan Twin Trees to survive the Immortal Thunder Calamity, nearly making all the city’s Cultivators his funeral escort... his reputation is finished.’

’Him facing such a fate after death is not surprising at all.’

’Of course, he may not care anyway.’

But at this time, he sighed and halted his step.

With a flash of Demon Light, his escape speed was astonishing, surpassing the early-stage Integration Cultivator to reach the edge of the chaos, taking a fractured green command token into his hand.

"Hmm?"

The Integration Cultivator’s heart filled with rage. A dark Zen staff appeared in his hand, bursting with powerful Spiritual Pressure, sweeping across.

Fang Xi’s hand flashed with a multicolored light, and the Five Fires Seven Birds Fan appeared, fluttering lightly.

Whistle!

Accompanied by the cries of phoenixes, a True Flame Phoenix spread its wings and darted out, followed by countless fiery birds, their wings ablaze with colorful flames, turning the dark Zen staff into molten iron...

The Integration Cultivator spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, only then sensing Fang Xi’s late-stage Integration Magic Power fluctuations, his expression changing dramatically, "You are...?"

"I am Qing Hezi, is it that you lot intend to betray the human race?"

Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, his late-stage Integration Magic Power sweeping across the arena, a pavilion appearing in his hand, which was ’Cloud Sky Pavilion’!

With a flash of Heaven Treasure light, Zhai Xingzi led Li Ruoling and subordinates out, facing this scene from the outside world, all expressionless and bewildered.

"Take over Twin Banyan City immediately, seal the treasury, and maintain order."

Fang Xi ordered indifferently, seizing the opportunity like picking peaches from a tree!
