Chapter 1022: Chapter 877: Reversely Slaying the Mahayana

’Jiuqu Yellow River Three Flowers Immortal Array!’

This array had always existed within Fang Xi’s thoughts, deemed by him as the key to help himself breakthrough to the gateway of the Ninth Order Immortal Array Master.

Back in Heaven Origin City, Fang Xi and Ji Feixue talked throughout the night, learning many secrets of array fusion from this Array Grandmaster.

During the subsequent great war between the human race and the Monster Clan, with the geographical advantage of Heaven Origin City and the Fake Immortal Veins, along with Ji Feixue, numerous Array Masters, and the original array setting artifacts moved from the Immortal Mansion, he attempted to enhance the Nine Nether Underworld River Mysterious Sand Array into an Immortal Array!

Such attempts were indescribably beneficial for Fang Xi’s own cultivation in Array Taoist.

Since then, he had been trying to set up a true Immortal Array all by himself!

And now, its prototype could finally be seen!

Fang Xi and his two incarnations formed a triangular formation.

Among them, the God Path incarnation ’East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor’ cast ’Void Transforms The Plough of The Seven Stars of The Dark Realm,’ controlling the ’blessing’ within the three flowers of fortune, lifespan, and opportunities – that is, fortune and fate.

The Heterodox incarnation waved the Mysterious Dark Banner, employing every subtlety of the ’Nine Nether Underworld River Mysterious Sand Array’ and took charge of the ’fate’ Array Eye, which included an Immortal Cultivator’s realm and cultivation.

In the end, Fang Xi held the Ancestral Demon Tree in his hands, from which the Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light flickered, presiding over ’lifespan!’

With fortune, fate, and lifespan, the three flowers gathered. As long as it’s not a True Immortal, almost all could be slain!

"Impossible!"

Old Meng, seeing this scene, had an expression of disbelief and astonishment on his face.

He evidently couldn’t believe that Fang XI was able to set up an Immortal Array directly.

Didn’t it require other array-setting artifacts and Fake Immortal Veins?

What he didn’t know was that Fang Xi’s current ’Jiuqu Yellow River Three Flowers Immortal Array’ could at most be considered a prototype of an Immortal Array, a quasi-Ninth Order Immortal Array.

The ’Nine Nether Underworld River Mysterious Sand Array’ presently only had the power of the Eighth Order; naturally, it didn’t need Fake Immortal Veins and could be supported just by using Immortal Jade.

And the God Path Lord incarnation, with its Mahayana cultivation, when casting ’Void Transforms The Plough of The Seven Stars of The Dark Realm,’ its might also reached the Eighth Order!

Together with the ’Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light’ from the original body, and merging with the array fusion methods, it finally achieved the almost Ninth Order level!

Although it’s not a true Ninth Order Immortal Array, Old Meng is not a True Immortal of Origin Soul, he is only a Mahayana Monk!

"The Heavenly Official Gives Blessings, The Earth Official Pardons Sins, The Water Official Gets Rid of Disasters... The Big Dipper Gives Life, The Mysterious Dark Removes Fortune, Void Turns Blessing... with utmost urgency like a law!"

Accompanying the completion of the array, the Void was completely sealed off, making it possible for even Mahayana Nascent Souls to escape their divine skills.

God Path Lord took the lead, the ’Disaster Dispelling Calamity Resolving Fortune Dark Light’ turned into a pitch-black plough head, plunging fiercely towards Old Meng.

"Ah!"

Old Meng, ever vigilant, flicked his sleeve. Tortoise shells, banners, cauldrons, and other treasures emerged, all brimming with spiritual radiance, desired but unattainable by Integration period cultivators, releasing a powerful spiritual pressure, transforming into colorful light shields.

Moreover, upon chanting an incantation, with a rumble of thunder, ’Old Meng’ instantly split into multiple incarnations, attempting to break out in different directions.

But within the Void, the plough head actually locked directly onto Old Meng’s true form and viciously ploughed down.

The many treasures-turned-light shields couldn’t block it at the slightest, as if they were illusions from the beginning, allowing the pitch-black plough head to pass through unimpeded.

Crack!

As the plough head passed over Old Meng’s head, a crisp sound rang out.

Old Meng felt nothing at all but suddenly experienced an emptiness within, nearly spitting out blood.

Knowing something was amiss, he immediately took out a small green jade mirror.

This mirror, obtained from the ruins of an Immortal Mansion, could reveal one’s own fortune.

—To become a Mahayana cultivator, each one possessed incredible talent and unimaginable fortune.

In his youth, Old Meng was also a peerless character who turned dangers into blessings and adversity into prosperity.

This small green jade mirror was a treasure of fortune that had brought him countless benefits.

But now, cracks appeared on the surface of the mirror.

Under Old Meng’s astonished gaze, the mirror suddenly shattered... turning into specks of light and dissipating...

"No!"

Old Meng felt as if he lost something vital, his eyes turning red.

He spewed out several pitch-black Thunder Pearls, ready to fight for his life, but the second stroke of the ’Mysterious Dark Removes Calamity and Darkness Divine Light’ had already swept over!

With his fortune broken, Old Meng was somewhat at a loss and was directly struck by the divine light!

At that moment, his magic power plummeted, falling to the Integration Period in an instant!

Old Meng awakened as if from a dream and hurriedly gathered his power; with his cultivation, it would only take a breath’s time to recover from this impact.

But it was already too late!

"Supreme Northern Dipper decrees your demise!"

Fang Xi’s body shone with purple Dragon Chapter Script Talismans, threads of the Law of Time descended, converging within the Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light.

This divine light, with an unknowable intention, swept past Old Meng’s body.

In that instant, Fang Xi knew that Old Meng had about forty thousand years of lifespan left!

’Over forty thousand years... If his realm had not fallen, it might not be possible to slay him in one strike.’

’Fortunately, his realm is only at ’Integration’...’

Fang Xi didn’t plan to consume a certain amount of the opponent’s lifespan and then trigger Heaven Tribulation or anything of that sort... too many variables.

When he made his move, it was meant to be a clean kill, completely stripping away all of the opponent’s remaining lifespan, causing direct death!

A True Immortal of Origin Soul had an unlimited lifespan, but Mahayana Monks still had an end to theirs.

If all of the lifespan is taken away at once, there wouldn’t be any concern about Heaven Tribulation, simply death by old age...

At Integration realm, taking away over forty thousand years of someone’s lifespan only needed to consume over a thousand years of his own lifespan...

For Fang Xi, whose lifespan was long and who could replenish it anytime with the Ancestral Demon Tree, this was trivial.

Therefore, he directly expended over a thousand years of longevity and used the "Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light"!

"I..."

Old Meng’s cultivation level suddenly plummeted as he was holding a small black flag, murmuring an incantation and preparing to use a powerful Demon Path protective divine skill.

Unexpectedly, a mysterious light swept past, and a look of terror emerged on his face.

Subsequently...

His clothes became filthy, his hair wilted, sweat flowed from his armpits, his body stank, and he did not enjoy his own base... showing signs of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man.

Suddenly, his body trembled, exploded into countless points of light, and dissipated with the wind, as several glowing treasures fell from mid-air...

Old Meng seemed normal, but in fact, he was a Nascent Soul body.

Now that the Nascent Soul’s longevity was exhausted, the Five Decays of Heaven and Man naturally occurred, and he dissipated into the purest spiritual energy.

Such a Mahayana spiritual opportunity was far superior to even the highest-grade spiritual veins, making even Fang Xi open the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm to properly absorb it.

"It’s a pity this man’s physical body has already fallen beneath the Fang Immortal Taoist Palace, otherwise it would have made excellent fertilizer..."

He sighed and began to clean up the battlefield.

...

A moment later.

The omnipresent Underworld River disappeared without a trace.

The heterodox incarnation put away the "Mysterious Dark Banner" and turned into a streak of dark light, discreetly vanishing into the horizon.

Fang Xi thought very clearly.

Now that Old Meng had fallen, it was unknown if he had any secret methods of communication with other Mahayana cultivators.

For all he knew, the news of Old Meng’s death had already reached Qingxu Child.

Therefore, it would be better to abandon the "Qing Hezi" identity for the time being...

Although Fang Xi did not believe the remaining Mahayana of the human race would be willing to offend a peer over the death of one person,

It was just like the case with the former Fang Immortal Taoist Master, no matter how astounding or brilliant they were, once dead, they were dead...

And those who were still alive had to continue living...

Old Meng had been able to suppress the matter in the past, and now Fang Xi was also confident he could keep it under wraps.

However, the Mahayana incarnation inevitably had to show off its muscles, venture south and north, and deal with all sorts of social interactions, which would be very troublesome...

Therefore, it was better to give up the "Qing Hezi" identity for the time being.

Especially since recently, the Monster Clan had no strength to launch a second invasion for the time being.

At this moment, the main battlefield of the Great War of the Four Clans was still over at the Demon Clan!

Fang Xi could take the opportunity to retire after achieving his goal and simultaneously scavenge the world, quietly preparing for his true self’s ascension to Mahayana.

With the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm and the inheritance, breaking through the Mahayana bottleneck was naturally not a difficult task.

But the subsequent Heart Demon Tribulation, Wind Fire Tribulation, and especially the most terrifying Mahayana Thunder Tribulation, were not so easy to overcome.

...

Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.

Fang Xi casually tossed the Heaven Treasure from Old Meng to one side.

This Mahayana from the Demon Path was actually quite poor, with only a few Semi-immortal artifacts and incomplete Immortal Mansion Rare Treasures, whose power was very average.

However, within the Heaven Treasure, there was a mountainous pile of rare materials of the seventh and eighth orders.

According to his estimate, he should be able to construct at least two more "Fake Immortal Veins."

Besides, the most precious item appeared to be a bottle of "Five Elements Immortal Water," which should help cultivators cultivating the Five Elements attribute skill to break through the Mahayana bottleneck.

Of course, for Fang Xi, it was more of a luxury than a necessity, but many cultivators at the Integration period would likely be willing to pay any price for it!

When Fang Xi got the Five Elements Immortal Water, his first thought was, "Old Meng is really generous to Wu Xingzi, could it be that Wu Xingzi is his illegitimate child?"

This Mahayana opportunity was clearly prepared for Wu Xingzi.

Now that Old Meng had fallen, Wu Xingzi was without a backer and could easily be killed.

But after giving it some thought, Fang Xi decided to leave Wu Xingzi for the Nine State Sect on Falling Sky Island.

Otherwise, once he had taken care of everything and called upon the Divine Army to return, it would be somewhat awkward if he found all his enemies had already died...

While thinking, Fang Xi strolled around.

Unknowingly, he arrived beneath a Ginseng Fruit Tree.

Looking at the lush Ginseng Fruit Tree, Fang Xi’s eyes were filled with contemplation.

The Evergreen Emperor’s secret skill was, after all, almost identical to becoming a completely different person.

And at the beginning, having not much strength, the bead containing the Spirit Sense he had destroyed, consequently letting the spirit sense within it dissipate completely.

Fang Immortal Taoist Master... might have also used a similar secret skill, leaving a contingency within the Ginseng Fruit Tree!

"The Ginseng Fruit Tree blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and the fruit ripens once every three thousand years..."

"The clues and hints should be on the Ginseng fruit..."

Fang Xi looked at the Ginseng Fruit Tree with an indescribable expression and slowly raised his hand...

Subsequently, he lowered it again.

Finally, he decided not to thoroughly explore the last trump card of the Fang Immortal Taoist Master.

At first, the Fang Immortal Taoist Master had not delved deeply into him, and he would not delve deeply into the Fang Immortal Taoist Master.

What comes and goes is predestined by the heavens.
