Chapter 1169: Chapter 1023 The End (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)

"Be careful, a cultivation-robber is approaching!"

Yu Xiu paused his wooden staff, and a layer of Spirit Domain Power spread out, giving birth to flowers, vines, fruits... in the icy world of the Ice Snow Palace.

Almost as soon as he was prepared, above the sky, countless clouds were torn apart, revealing a dark city!

Above this city, one by one, the immortals’ auras were obscure, evidently they were either external incarnations or concealing their true faces.

Perhaps, they were even acquaintances of immortals like Yu Xiu from before.

"Hand over the Star Dew!"

The leading black-robed immortal spoke with a voice like thunder.

As he spoke, the dark city descended with ill intent, black thunder smashing onto the vast snow, annihilating the blizzard.

If not for Yu Xiu’s timely intervention, the Ice Snow Palace would have suffered considerable damage!

"Attack with all your might!"

Yu Xiu, of course, would not agree.

Even though he was a businessman, before being driven to absolute desperation, he would never give up his hope for advancement!

Fang Xi exchanged glances with Xuan Qing, Zhang Danshi, and others, each channeling their immortal-level magic power into the Ice Snow Palace.

As a war artifact, the Ice Snow Palace naturally had its mysteries and could meld the magical power of many immortals. It even had a specially sacrificially refined Origin Soul prohibition inside, which could transform various magic powers into Ice Snow Laws!

A flash of white light!

The blizzards around the Ice Snow Palace suddenly intensified and then transformed into a huge white snow dragon.

This dragon appeared as if carved out of ice crystals, with blood-red dragon eyes, translucent scales, and two long whiskers.

It roared angrily and fiercely reached out a claw!

Amidst the swirling winds and clouds, a giant ice crystal dragon claw harshly grasped the dark city, causing the floating city to tremble slightly.

Under the effect of the Ice Snow Laws, a thick layer of frost coated the city.

"Excellent! The Ice Snow Palace truly lives up to its reputation as the war artifact of the Abundant Karma House! But sir, if you think that with this immortal weapon alone, you can make us retreat, it is far too naïve..."

The black-robed immortal gave a cold laugh as he made his move, along with the many celestial beings behind him.

The dark city roared, and tens of thousands of Oblivion Lightning bolts thundered down!

Crack!

Crack!

The bottom of the city suddenly split open, revealing countless sharp fangs like those of a demon’s gaping mouth, which voraciously snapped shut!

The claw of the ice snow dragon immediately vanished within the city’s maw, and countless ice shards fell from the gaps between the teeth.

Hum!

The reverberating force caused every immortal present to change expression, with Xuan Qing even spitting out a mouthful of essence blood.

"Is that... the City of the End?"

Yu Xiu seemed to realize something, and his expression changed: "The Beichen Immortal Domain was once called ’Last Disaster Immortal Domain,’ under the control of the Terminal Sect, which excels in cultivating very special Laws such as Destruction, Devouring, and Last Disaster. It’s rumored that within their sect, they had sacrificially refined ninety-nine ’Cities of the End,’ forming the four-layered Arrays of ’Annihilation, Extinction, Wiping Out, and Killing’... Any powerful immortal entering it would meet their doom and fall amidst the disaster..."

"Subsequently, the Prime Taoist Master of Terminal Sect perished during an exploration, and the Terminal Sect was annihilated along with many covetous enemies. It’s rumored that in the last great battle, a large number of Cities of the End fell... To think that these immortals would excavate one and even repair it!"

Such an earth-shattering deed was done without any intelligence being leaked.

Clearly, these cultivation-robbers had long planned to use the ’City of the End’ for robbing and plundering.

Whoosh!

At this moment, on the City of the End, the aura of Destruction Law converged, transforming into numerous black long swords.

The countless black swords, operating in a specific pattern, seemed to form an ultimate killing sword array.

Sword Light rained down all around, trapping the ice snow dragon within.

Though the ice snow dragon struggled, each time it was stripped of a piece of its icy scales by the sword light, and it was about to turn into a skeletal dragon, revealing the Ice Snow Palace within the dragon pearl!

"The situation is urgent!"

Yu Xiu’s expression drastically changed, knowing that the Ice Snow Palace that Abundant Karma House put their heart into creating was ultimately no match for the City of the End.

Next, if he didn’t act swiftly, it would be captured whole in just a moment.

"I will detonate the Ice Snow Palace later to break open this Destruction Sword Array... If sir trusts me, you can enter my Spirit Realm. If not, then let’s break through on our own!"

Yu Xiu spoke out.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the many immortals changed drastically.

Fang Xi’s expression moved and with a flick of his sleeve, he collected Fang Xian.

Then!

The frost dragon coiled up violently, and the ice and snow calmed down at once.

Crash!

All of a sudden, within the dragon pearl, the Ice Snow Palace crumbled apart.

An almost ethereal Ice Snow Taoist Species emerged, with the surrounding frosty power reaching its peak, almost to the point of being palpably warm.

The black Sword Array, as if frozen by an extremely cold intent, came to a halt.

In that instant, several figures rushed out from the shattered Ice Snow Palace, breaking away in different directions.

Naturally, Fang Xi was among them!

He never depended on anyone else for his hopes.

Moreover, being an Earth Immortal, his strength was barely within the top three or four among the immortals present.

Of course, this was how it seemed to outsiders.

"Earth Escape!"

He turned into a beam of earthy yellow light, employing Earth Escape Skills and in an instant, he was ten thousand miles away.

On top of a green mountain.

Fang Xi, clad in a yellow robe, appeared and then conjured the ’Earth Virtue Sword,’ transforming into a beam of earthy-yellow sword light that sped away into the distance.

For immortals, such a distance was not safe at all!

The reason he used the "Earth Virtue Sword" was that this Flying Sword had been purchased through the channels of the Abundant Karma House, with a clear origin, and there were no issues at all when deployed.

Otherwise, with so many Flying Swords at his disposal, he could completely change to a different Flying Sword every day, just for fun!

...

Atop the City of the End.

Almost as soon as Fang Xi and the others had scattered to flee, the black-robed Immortal’s Divine Thought swept over them, and he had already made a decision, "I will take the City of the End to pursue Yu Xiu. The rest of you choose your own targets..."

In the intelligence reports, Yu Xiu was the number one expert of the Abundant Karma House and might even be hiding several Immortals.

Naturally, the strongest battle force like him needed to bring along the Treasure to press the attack.

Moreover, the most important target—the "Star Dew"—was almost certainly with the opponent.

The black-clothed Immortal leader naturally would not miss out on this.

As for the other cultivation-robbers, they could only rely on luck to chase after the other fleeing Abundant Karma House Immortals.

The cultivation-robber who chose to pursue Fang Xi was shrouded in a dark green robe. At this moment, looking in the direction Fang Xi had left, a cold smile appeared on his face.

"Earth Escape Skills?"

While the Five Elements’ escape techniques are considered minor methods, in the hands of a Golden Core Nascent Soul Cultivator, one could only escape a few miles at a time, but in Fang Xi’s hands, it was ten thousand miles away.

The Cultivator in the dark green robe snorted coldly, his hands forming seals, his mouth muttering incessantly.

From his sleeve, a skeleton-like green python immediately shot out.

This green python was burning with green flames all over its body, flames that were blazing fiercely yet seemed to emit little heat.

As soon as the green python appeared, it coiled around the dark green robe Cultivator, spitting out flame-like tongues, appearing very affectionate.

"If it wasn’t necessary to conceal my identity, why would I need to go to such lengths?"

The cultivator in the dark green robe muttered to himself, his hand seals changing, and he forced out a drop of crimson fresh blood from his fingertips.

The blood of an Immortal, of course, was no small matter.

The green flame python swallowed this drop of Essence Blood, immediately let out a roar, and swallowed the dark green robe Cultivator whole, then shot into the Void and disappeared in an instant.

Whoosh!

Fang Xi was maneuvering Sword Light to flee when suddenly a dark green color flashed in front of him, and a towering wall of green fire appeared!

Hiss hiss!

A gigantic python-like fire spirit emerged, spraying a burst of flames towards him.

"Hmm?"

Fang Xi waved the "Earth Virtue Sword."

This sword was a rare Earth Attribute Flying Sword, solid and heavy.

The Sword Light was also incredibly concentrated, resembling a range of overlapping mountains, and in an instant, it had formed eighteen mountain peaks, gathering into an earthen shield.

The green flames fell upon the earthy yellow shield, immediately igniting a blaze.

"Power of Rules taking form?"

An astonished voice rang out, and immediately a cultivation-robber in a dark green robe stepped out from the fire wall, "It seems that today I have indeed caught a big fish."

"Relying solely on yourself to capture me is perhaps a bit presumptuous..."

Fang Xi shook his head, making a casual beckoning motion.

A layer of blue radiance emerged, actually causing the wall of fire to continuously retreat.

This was not his inherent Divine Skill, but rather the borrowed might of his real body through the "Treasures of All Heavens."

"Spirit Domain Power? An Earth Immortal?!"

The cultivation-robber in the dark green robe seemed to recall something, "So you’re the new Talisman Master guest of the Abundant Karma House... Fang Xi!"

"Indeed, I am. May I inquire as to who you are?"

Fang Xi controlled the Earth Virtue Sword, and suddenly the sky was filled with the heavy shadows of mountains, pressing down on the dark green-robed cultivation-robber.

"Heh heh... Having become a cultivation-robber, do you think I would reveal my true identity?"

The cultivation-robber in the dark green robe snorted coldly, sending a hook flying out from his sleeve.

This hook, with its strange curvature and scale-like patterns on the back of the blade, evoked the image of a viper.

He formed a Sword Table with his hands, and the hook flew out, instantly transforming into thousands of gleaming lights.

Clang clang clang!

The next moment, the hook and the Earth Virtue Sword clashed fiercely in the Void, the myriad sword threads intertwining wildly.

Suddenly, a loud snap was heard.

"My Thousand Snake Hook?"

The cultivation-robber in the dark green robe saw a notch appear on his own Flying Hook, breaking right in the middle, and his heart ached terribly.

But soon enough, he didn’t even have the spirit to feel that ache.

"Five Mountain True Form!"

Fang Xi reached out, and in the void, five gigantic mountains suddenly appeared, bearing down with the force akin to Mount Tai’s crushing pressure.

The cultivation-robber in the dark green robe transformed into Escape Light, retreating rapidly backward.

Unexpectedly, a Sword Light appeared and in an instant broke through his protective treasure radiance.

Hiss hiss!

The giant python-like skeleton that was coiled around the cultivation-robber suddenly leapt out, swept up by thousands of Sword Lights, and abruptly dissipated into a puff of green smoke.

Not far away, the cultivation-robber in the dark green robe re-emerged, his voice hoarse and wretched, "My Spiritual Pet..."

"So it was a Secret Skill that used a Spiritual Pet to take one’s place in death? Your strength is not bad, but unfortunately, you picked me!"

Fang Xi held the Earth Virtue Sword and lightly plucked it, causing the sword to emit a clear ringing sound; on its blade, miniature mountains began to emerge.

The Mountain Pearl Incarnation was naturally close to the Earth-attribute Rules, and after a brief understanding, it reached the realm of the Power of Rules taking form.

Moreover, he was already no longer just an Earth Immortal...
