Chapter 1141: Chapter 995: Group Assault

"Mr. Fang..."

Upon seeing Fang Xi enter, donned in green robes and still possessing a youthful appearance, Yun Shanshan sighed, "Sir, why must you come here?"

As an Earth Immortal, she might not have known previously, but once Fang Xi arrived and set off the Heavenly Secret mechanism, everything became clear to her.

She knew that this time, Fang Xi would inevitably face an inescapable doom, with no more chances of survival than death!

"I had to come to resolve karma,"

Fang Xi nodded to Yun Shanshan as a greeting, and then answered calmly.

Even if he continued to hide within the Six Yao Yin Water Array and evade this tribulation, his magic power would never break through to that of a Celestial Immortal.

By then, when the Shu Mountain Sect gathered an army of powerful individuals from the Righteous Path to come knocking, the result would still be the same...

It was better to come here and take a chance at becoming a Celestial Immortal!

At least, he had largely deduced the ’Mixed Origin Immortal Talisman,’ and he only needed to settle the karma to possess the magic power of a Celestial Immortal!

’Hmph... Shu Mountain truly lacks humanity, to actually use my place to set up a trap.’

As an age-old Earth Immortal, Elder Divine Wood was well aware of the situation, which even Yun Shanshan had perceived, and he was instantly displeased.

After all, he was a seasoned Earth Immortal, one of the few masters in the Mortal World. Even Ling Chan Tongzi, before stirring the far-reaching tribulation of the righteous versus demon battle, did not have magic power or Taoist cultivation vastly different from his own.

Had Elder Divine Wood encountered a conflict of Taoism at that time, he would not have hesitated to draw the Divine Wood Sword!

But now...

Looking at the top experts from the Mortal World such as Master Yuekong from the small moon island, Lord Tianlong, Divine Master Great Wild, Ancestor Lie Huo, and others, Elder Divine Wood sighed in his heart and suppressed the unnamed rage within him. He merely looked at Fang Xi with a smile and said, "Mr. Fang, your presence here honors me greatly."

"The Island Master of Divine Wood is too kind..." Fang Xi replied with a slight smile and said, "It is thanks to your disciple’s gift of a bottle of ’Five Elements True Evil’ that I was able to cultivate my Origin Soul. I had calculated that there would be this tribulation upon achieving the Origin Soul, and I have come to repay it."

As he spoke, a nondescript compass appeared in his hand—it was the ’Pre-Heaven Magnetic Disc’!

In that moment, this treasure utilized the shifting force of the polar magnetism to disappear instantly and appeared within the Origin Magnetism Well.

This Origin Magnetism Well was no trifling matter!

It was transformed from the corpse of an ancient divine demon, reaching straight into the depths of the Earth. Elder Divine Wood used his own divine magnetism skill in combination with the array to regulate the polar magnetism annually, suppressing many earthly disasters, akin to performing many good deeds, sufficient to protect the people of Divine Wood Island with a prolonged and unbroken line of blessings and Taoist inheritance.

If the Origin Magnetism Well were to be destroyed, it would immediately affect the Earth’s magnetic poles in the Mortal World, causing magnetic field chaos and cosmic upheaval.

This was a more terrifying tactic than those old demons commonly employing, which constrained thousands of miles around them, essentially taking the entire Mortal World hostage!

In this world, the Earth Immortals and Individual Immortals that thrived were not purely kind-hearted individuals.

Pushed too far, they all had the determination and ruthlessness to shatter Heaven and Earth, letting everything return to the primal state of Earth-Fire Wind-Water!

Duanmu Long, who had been cultivating a secret skill in the Origin Magnetism Well at that moment, suddenly sensed the shift in the Void and caught the Pre-Heaven Magnetic Disc in his hand, as the Origin Magnetism prohibitions on it directly merged into his magic power.

With a long howl, his Origin Soul became a beam of divine light, emerging straight from the Origin Magnetism Well. He was overjoyed to feel that the absorbing force had vanished without a trace and joyfully chanted, "The Five Elements Magnetic Power is inverted today, now I become a carefree immortal. The karma of the True Evil from years ago is settled, and now my Origin Soul is liberated into the mystery!"

He had truly become free and unrestrained, achieving the Scattered Immortal Fruition!

Elder Divine Wood and Master Yuekong, along with others, were shocked and alarmed.

This place belonged to Elder Divine Wood, who had already set up a ’Pre-Heaven Magnetic Divine Wood Great Array’!

With the Origin Magnetism Well as the core of the Array Eye, and nine ten-thousand-year-old Bronze Woods as subsidiary Array Eyes, it possessed tremendous power, enough to seal the Void.

Yet, they had not anticipated that Fang Xi, visiting for the first time, would act as if the place were his own home.

Effortlessly breaking through the strength of the array to shift the treasure!

Such a method was truly terrifying!

What they didn’t know was that Fang Xi was a Ninth Order Immortal Array Master and had diligently cultivated the Origin Magnetism prohibitions. Using the mutual attraction between the Pre-Heaven Magnetic Disc and the Origin Magnetism Well to achieve this was not difficult for him.

Upon his arrival, Fang Xi certainly prioritized the most important matters.

He suddenly felt the biggest thread of karma on him snap.

Thereafter, his Origin Soul became extremely clear, with each Five Elements rune flashing, on the verge of condensing into the chaos-colored ’Mixed Origin Immortal Talisman’!

The combination of the Earth Immortal Origin Soul and the ’Mixed Origin Immortal Talisman’ signified the fruition of a Celestial Immortal!

"Amitabha, Mr. Fang, we meet again,"

Master Yuekong pressed her hands together, her eyes filled with a hint of regret.

The change in Fang Xi’s Origin Soul was sensed by those present, who were at least of Individual Immortal status.

Naturally, the Shu Mountain Sect would not simply watch as the opponent attained the status of a Celestial Immortal on the spot!

This tribulation was extremely fierce, indeed a scenario where death was almost certain!

"Fang Xi... you took my Heavenly Book back in the day. Today, all our gratitude and grudges shall be settled together,"

Xin Hongyun raised a sword brimming with purple Qi in her hand, and new sprouts of purple-green True Fire emerged above the Flying Sword. With a fierce shout, she declared.

"Haha... you really couldn’t wait,"

Fang Xi laughed heartily, "But deciding the outcome through a sword fight is indeed the style of us Sword Immortals. Let’s go!"

Immediately after his words fell, he transformed into a beam of Five Elements extreme light, taking position in the sky above Divine Wood Island.

Xin Hongyun let out a clear whistle, following her sword into battle. The purple Sword Shadows danced all over the sky, its might as if it were the emperor among swords, actually causing a great number of Pure Yang Treasures below to roar, seemingly in homage.

"How can this be... Why is the Cold Mountain Sword behaving like this?"

Outside the Divine Leaf Palace.

Zhuo Yifan didn’t have enough clout to be personally entertained by Elder Divine Wood in the Divine Leaf Palace. He could only join the other Sword Immortals and Swordsmen under the Individual Immortals, feasting outside in the palace’s plaza, with disciples like Wenwan from Divine Wood Island for company.

Just then, a five-elements extreme aurora shot forth, followed by a sky full of purple sword shadows.

His Cold Mountain Sword in hand actually roared in submission, which greatly shocked him.

Ever since he had refined the Cold Mountain Sword, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

"Hehe, my apologies, gentlemen, this is a grudge between Shu Mountain and Fang Xi of Qinghe Mountain..."

Ling Chan Tongzi smiled and waved his hand, spreading a golden barrier that protected the entire Divine Wood Island.

He also transmitted a message throughout the island, explaining the situation and solidly occupying the moral high ground.

"Qinghe Mountain... Fang Xi?!"

Zhuo Yifan’s eyes shone brightly, recalling the incident where Fang Xi had shown no mercy, feeling utterly satisfied within: "So you have your day too?"

Now that he had begun his cultivation journey, how could he not know that the Shu Mountain Sect was indeed an elite sect of the mysterious path?

In comparison, what was Qinghe Mountain considered?

That old demon Fang must be decapitated today!

He immediately flew out on his sword and exclaimed, "It turns out esteemed figures from Shu Mountain Sect are here to eradicate demons and defend the way! This humble Zhuo Yifan wishes to offer his meager assistance!"

Upon these words, everyone turned to look.

Some sword immortals and swordsmen from smaller sects inwardly regretted not seizing the opportunity before Zhuo Yifan did.

Otherwise, making an appearance in front of the prominent figures of the righteous path might have given them a chance to be accepted into the sect and achieve true cultivation results!

"Fang, you robbed me of my opportunity. Today, deserted by everyone, you shall face your deadly tribulation," Xin Hongyun shouted menacingly, her flying sword enveloped in a sky of purple and green flames, its sword technique as swift as thunder and lightning, clearly having mastered the essence of Shu Mountain’s swordplay.

Seeing this, Fang Xi simply pointed his finger.

Mixed Origin Innate Five Elements Magnetic Power surged, overcoming all five-elements in the world!

Xin Hongyun suddenly felt her ancient ’Purple Emperor Sword’ lose all its spirit, nearly slipping from her grasp, her face turning pallid with shock.

She had endured many years of hardship, cultivated her origin soul, and found an ancient flying sword left by a predecessor, with which she had slain countless demonic beasts and heretics to their fear.

Yet she had not anticipated being unable to withstand a single strike from Fang Xi.

Fang Xi’s magic power surged, morphing into a Pre-Heaven Magnetic giant hand that seized the Purple Emperor Sword and tossed it aside without care, sneering, "Thinking of causing me to face tribulation, Xin Hongyun? You alone are hardly sufficient... Let your masters and seniors of Shu Mountain join the fray."

"Amitabha Buddha..."

Lord Tianlong intoned the Buddha’s name, and nine golden dragons suddenly manifested, occupying the entire skies.

Monk Di Xin, Nun Jueqing, and other Shu Mountain elders, along with prominent young figures like Yu Ying and Bu Dengyun, emerged from the crowd.

By the looks of it, the scale matched that of the past annihilation of the ’Blood Sea King’ Liang Yin.

"Good!"

Fang Xi burst into loud laughter: "These are the opponents I was hoping for."

With a long howl, his ’Si Chen Sword’ turned into a sword shadow, suddenly transforming into twelve Meridian God Lights, each of which condensed into a brand-new ’Si Chen Sword’, simultaneously striking at the numerous masters of Shu Mountain.

Clang Clang Bang Bang!

Monk Di Xin was the first to engage in battle. Having had his ’Taiyi Invisible Sword’ taken by Fang Xi, he had since put in a tremendous effort to refine a new ’Heaven Mind Sword.’ At this moment, the sword light was like a white dragon, clashing fiercely with the three swords derived from Meridian God Lights.

The cold and sharp sword qi filled the sky, captivating the sword immortals and swordsmen below to a degree where they lost themselves in the spectacle, unaware of their surroundings.

Fang Xi would not be courteous with the people of Shu Mountain. As his Si Chen Sword clashed with Monk Di Xin, his magic power slightly stirred, gathering positive and negative five elements, forming Yin-Yang Positive and Negative Five Elements Two-Yi Great Annihilation Yuan Magnetic Divine Light Line. Thousands of beams arrived instantaneously, sending back the flying sword of a nun from Shu Mountain with a face full of evil qi and even piercing through her protective spirit light, severely damaging her origin soul’s primordial energy.

Then with another turn and a backhand palm,

a grey circle of light appeared, which astonishingly captured several metallic treasures unleashed by Yu Ying, Bu Dengyun, Mo Yizui, and Liu Pinting from Shu Mountain. Though each had cultivated an origin soul, faced with Fang Xi’s terrifying magic power, they seemed like small boats in a storm, swaying helplessly, barely able to move an inch.

"Could it be..."

Zhuo Yifan felt a few drops of cold sweat form on his forehead seeing this scene.

Witnessing Fang Xi singlehandedly overpowering most of Shu Mountain’s elders and disciples, it was evident that his magic power was at the level of contemporary giants.

He deeply regretted why he had impulsively stepped forward earlier.

Even the Individual Cultivators sitting with him quickly moved aside, as if afraid of being splattered with blood...

Not far away, an Origin Magnetic Divine Light fell, transforming into the figure of Duanmu Long.

Seeing this scene, he too showed a wry smile, proclaiming loudly, "Everyone is here to celebrate my achievement of the origin soul, why not cease the battle and talk peace..."

Elder Divine Wood approached him, casually cast a Prohibition Law, silencing Duanmu Long mid-sentence.

"Having cultivated an origin soul, you think too highly of yourself? The ones engaging right now are at least on the origin soul level!"

Elder Divine Wood transmitted his scolding, "When it comes to close relations, even Fairy Piaomiao Yun Shanshan of Divine Wood Island, who is a close friend of Mr. Fang, hasn’t intervened. It’s because she knows the heavenly secret that Mr. Fang faces inevitable death this time..."

Yun Shanshan sighed and said to Yuekong Master of Little Moon Island, "I implore the Master to show mercy. I am willing to enter the Buddhism Sect and pray for Mr. Fang."

"Amitabha, Buddhism embraces all, but it only ferries the fated. It is already too late..."

Master Yuekong, holding a string of pure Buddha beads, displayed Divine Foot Thorough and instantaneously joined the battlefield!
