Stealthily cultivating in the chaotic world of demons and martial artists
Chapter 1059 - 913: The Great Battle

Chapter 1059: Chapter 913: The Great Battle

With Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness, he could already detect a middle-aged man in a purple robe with dragon horns striding towards him.

His escape technique was incredibly peculiar, leaving a trail of afterimages with each step in the Void.

This was not because his speed was too fast, but rather it seemed as if he performed strange leaps through time.

He went directly from one moment to the position of the next moment!

"Such profound comprehension of the laws of time..."

Fang Xi couldn’t help but praise in his heart, "As expected, is it... Zu Long?"

Behind Zu Long followed three true spirits from the Monster Clan.

The terrifying Demon Qi soared into the sky as if it could tear the heavens apart.

Whirr!

Qingxu Child cried out in shock upon discovering that several Array Eyes of his ’Black Sky Lost Array’ were unexpectedly emitting a woeful screech as if unable to bear the strain.

He abruptly looked up only to see the middle-aged man with purple robes and dragon horns, with a dignified face, bring his five fingers together and throw a punch.

Threads of the indescribable Law of Time were mixed within the force of the punch, falling into the black mist.

Countless runes exploded in an instant.

At the Array Base, the Array Disks seemed to have been weathered by the long passage of time, rapidly becoming decrepit and shattering apart.

In the blink of an eye, the Great Array was declared broken, revealing four Mahayana human race cultivators.

"Impossible!"

Seeing the middle-aged man with dragon horns, Qingxu Child exclaimed, "His face is identical to the ones in our Clans’ portraits, but didn’t Zu Long ascend a long time ago?"

"The power of time is extremely rich, it looks like it’s some kind of creature formed by the Law of Time..."

A flash of insight sparked through Fang Xi’s eyes.

"Qing Hezi?!"

Zu Long’s gaze swept over Qingxu Child, Che Xuanyuan, Master Bu, and then fixated on Fang Xi.

In his hand, a purple dragon scale materialized.

Threads of the Law of Time gathered upon this scale, making its edges unbelievably sharp, as if it were a flying blade.

"The Monster Clan’s final bastion is Zu Long?"

Fang Xi raised his hand to beckon, summoning the ’Biyi Jade Sand,’ an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure that transformed into a yin-yang Taiji diagram of black and white qi rotating around him, guarding himself. Inwardly, he had already raised his alertness to the extreme.

Suddenly!

His expression changed as the space around him began to subtly alter, with his upper body bending at a strange angle.

Thud!

A blade of light flew past and the tail end of the blade grazed Fang Xi’s chest, making a sound like the clash of metal.

Then, it cut through his robe and flesh...causing traces of fresh blood to seep out.

"Hm? You actually managed to dodge my ’Dragon Scales Flying Blade’?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Zu Long’s eyes, "It seems you have quite a profound mastery of the Law of Time as well; otherwise, you wouldn’t have sensed that slight disturbance in time... Not only that, but your body refining is pretty good too."

"The art of time disturbance...

Upon another look at the scale in Zu Long’s hand, Fang Xi realized that it was still there!

It had left his hand in the future, yet at this moment, it was still part of his ’past.’

The past is immutable; the future can be changed!

Therefore, this ’Dragon Scales Flying Blade’ could be used countless times again; one failure to defend would be extremely dangerous!

Moreover, the timing of its attack was a future moment when Fang Xi had not utilized the Biyi Jade Sand, making the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure incapable of defense!

The previous attack, had it been Che Xuanyuan or any other Mahayana, chances are they would have been severely injured or even killed!

Fang Xi took a deep breath and a layer of green light appeared on his palm, passing over his own chest.

The crimson blood, as if sentient, swiftly retreated back into the wound and the flesh on both sides quickly healed.

His aura did not seem to weaken in the least, appearing to have recovered as before within moments!

"Oh? You also possess a natural talent akin to our Clan’s ’Immortal Body, Blood Rebirth,’ which truly makes dealing with you a little troublesome..."

Zu Long held a sphere of purple radiance in his hand, within which the Dragon Scales Flying Blade kept whirling incessantly.

Seeing this, Qingxu Child and the other Mahayana’s expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly retreated.

"Don’t leave; today, all of you must stay here," commanded the nine-headed bird with a shriek, flapping its wings vigorously and whipping up a fierce wind that swept towards Qingxu Child.

Hiss!

The Snake Ancestor lunged forward, a flash of black light burst, and suddenly turned into a vast expanse of pitch-black Void that encompassed Che Xuanyuan.

Upon seeing this, Master Bu could only sigh, and the Green Dark Sword appeared in his hand.

"Heh-heh... Choosing me as your opponent, your luck is truly bad."

The White Haired Wolf Ancestor let out an ancient cackle, suddenly opening its wolf’s maw.

A silvery light shot out, with the trajectory of a dragon, containing within it a Silver Moon Monster Spear.

The spear was etched with various Immortal Mansion Secret Inscriptions flickering, and at the very tip of the spear, a point of crimson emerged, continuously tearing through the Void, causing Master Bu’s face to pale!

...

"I’ve heard that you have an extraordinary Divine Skill that can instantly slay a seven-tribulation Mahayana; why don’t you use it?"

Zu Long and Fang Xi paid no heed to the other Mahayana’s clashing, both already on the highest alert.

Zu Long looked at Fang Xi and asked with a faint smile.

"When the time comes to take action, naturally, I will," replied Fang Xi, his expression incredibly solemn. This Zu Long was definitely the strongest opponent he had encountered since he began cultivating.

In terms of strength, he was infinitely close to a True Immortal, or perhaps at the level of a True Immortal itself!

’Damn, I’ve always liked to overpower enemies who are beneath me, and not increase the difficulty by fighting those above...’ he ruefully smiled inwardly and did not use the ’Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light,’ for he had his concerns.

That Divine Light was primarily based on the Law of Time and had its limitations.

Let’s not mention that True Immortals have infinite lifespans and simply cannot be drained.

Even among Mahayana Monks, in the clash of the Law of Time, if the opponent also has comprehension—even higher than one’s own—it is entirely possible for them to have early warnings or even defenses.

Take Fang Xi just now!

He relied on his own comprehension of the Law of Time to sense a slight change in the chaos of time, and then made a response!

Zu Long is renowned for creating the ’Dragon Chapter Script,’ and his comprehension of the Law of Time even surpasses that of Fang Xi.

In such a situation where one’s trump card might be countered, one naturally would not act rashly.

With a single hand forming a seal, a bizarre blade with two-headed Flood Dragons coiled around appeared, with the Flood Dragons swinging their heads and tails as they flew out, each opening its gaping maw.

One of the Flood Dragon heads spewed out streaks of pitch-black light, carrying within them the intent of destruction.

The other Flood Dragon head suddenly extended its claw, slashing out blades of light that were jade-like, intermingled with threads and strands of the Wood Attribute Law’s power!

It was the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure— the Double Dragon Blade!

Fang Xi knew that if the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure fell into Di Ling’s hands, it would be like casting pearls before swine after briefly sacrificially refining it.

Its true function lies in being able to simultaneously deploy two different types of power from rules!

At this moment, half of the heaven and earth were pitch-black and half were emerald green... The two seemingly contradictory radiances suddenly converged to a point, and then burst forth with explosive force!

Crash!

The Void shattered, turning into chaos.

Within the chaos, Zu Long stood proudly in his original spot, his purple robe mostly torn, revealing scaled armor.

He grasped with both hands, and two massive palms appeared out of thin air, each firmly seizing the throat of a Flood Dragon head!

Clank!

A piercing noise spread, and the Two-headed Flood Dragon let out a mournful cry, reverting to its original ’Double Dragon Blade’ form!

And Zu Long’s hands came together, already pressing on the tip of the ’Double Dragon Blade.’

Fang Xi’s face showed a look of astonishment. He had used his Giant Strength, combined with the might of the laws, and with the help of the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure’s strike, yet it was so easily caught by Zu Long.

"I am the strongest True Dragon! Do you think the fierceness of a True Dragon’s body is something you can imagine?"

Zu Long laughed proudly, "At the brink of ascension, my True Dragon body has already become comparable to an Immortal Weapon!"

The Monster Clan is naturally known for their powerful physiques!

Unapologetically speaking, even the cultivation methods for the True Body of Sky Demon have originated from the Monster Clan.

Crack!

Accompanied by Zu Long’s burst of Magic Power, the Double Dragon Blade cried out in anguish, and Fang Xi felt a surge of Giant Strength. His expression changed, and he quickly retreated backwards.

And just then, as if he had foreseen it, his head suddenly jerked to the side!

Swoosh!

Dragon Scales Flying Blade shot from behind him, leaving a trace of blood on his cheek.

If he had continued retreating, his head would have likely been blown apart by the blade!

"Time, Destruction, Wood... what use is there in comprehending more rules? Better to specialize in just one!"

Zu Long’s face bore a mocking smile, but his voice carried a Sky Demon-like Divine Consciousness attack that constantly invaded Fang Xi’s Sea of Consciousness.

Luckily, Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness was sharp like a knife, slicing these words apart directly.

"Your Divine Consciousness is not bad either. It looks like the next True Immortal to ascend from the human race must be you."

Zu Long was slightly surprised, then his expression turned cold, "All the more reason I cannot let you survive!"

He let out a long howl, and streaks of dragon-shaped Radiance gathered around him, faintly forming a ten thousand zhang True Dragon body behind him!

Its body was dark and mysterious, with reverse scales and extremely long whiskers, all exuding the imposing might of a True Dragon!

"Trouble!"

Fang Xi spread his robe wide and Talismans flew out, bursting with multicolored glows, forming an array that enshrouded Zu Long, while Fang Xi himself retreated quickly, seemingly using this Talisman array only as a cover.

"All flash but no substance... glowing grains of rice?"

Zu Long sneered as a layer of purple light enveloped his body.

Boom! Boom!

The multicolored Talismans hit the purple barrier, flashing brightly before exploding into flames, ice spears, thunder, and more... but they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, unable even to shake the barrier at all, let alone Zu Long’s body which was comparable to an Immortal Weapon.

"That’s not right!"

Just then, Zu Long’s Divine Consciousness sharply stirred.

At the core of the array, there were not any attack Talismans but several high-grade ’Breath Concealment Talismans’!

Beneath them was a piece of pure gold Talisman paper, on which the spirit of war crisscrossed, converging into dense and numerous Immortal Mansion Secret Inscriptions that swam about like tadpoles.

A surge of Magic Power exceeding that of a Mahayana Monk emerged, causing Zu Long’s face to change dramatically, "An Immortal Mansion True Talisman? No..."

Around the world, countless Golden Light flickered, and a terrifying aura of metal and gold converged, forming nine gold halberds.

On the halberds, there were strands of golden Law’s power, which entangled and turned into thick golden chains that brutally penetrated the purple barrier, falling onto Zu Long’s body!

Crash!

The golden Magic Chains scratched against Zu Long’s scales, drawing out bits of blood.

These were the Magic Chains, evolving from strings of laws!

Typically, this was a level of Law’s might capable only by True Immortals!

Thud! Thud!

The nine halberds thundered down, also mixed with half a bottle of ’Nine Sky Yuan Sha Annihilation God Thunder Spirit Qi’!

Fang Xi did not act, but when he did, it was a deathblow!

Boom!

The Thunder Light mixed with Golden Light engulfed the area where Zu Long was.

The great might of the laws affected even the other three Mahayana battles, causing a momentary pause in the battle between the three True Spirits and three human Mahayana Monks!

"Since when does the human race possess such heritage?"

Fear flickered in the eyes of the Nine-headed Yellow Bird as it realized that if such heritage was used against it, even ten of itself would fall!
