Chapter 315: Chapter 313: Black and White (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_1

"Although the masters in this realm possess no magical treasures, their divine skills and spells are by no means weak... It is truly worthy of those at Foundation Establishment and even Core Formation."

When Fang Xi saw the Skinless Temple Master transform into the four-armed, blood-skinned demon creature, he muttered to himself and then pinched a technique, releasing a pitch-black demon banner from his mouth.

As soon as this banner appeared, it burst forth with a great amount of dark radiance, with an One-horned Ghost King faintly visible within the shimmering light.

This was also one of Fang Xi’s spoils from a disciple of the Demon Sect - a third-grade magic treasure reputed to contain a Core Formation level Ghost King!

With the Externalization demon skills activated, it was indeed a perfect match!

Fang Xi’s eyes flashed with black light as he fiercely urged the banner on.

The One-horned Ghost King suddenly let out a roar, its form also growing immensely large, charging towards the blood-skinned demon creature.

Bang bang!

The two Core Formation level monster beasts immediately began to tangle in the air, the bloody radiance and the pitch-black light constantly devouring each other. Occasionally, flecks of light fell, and whether it was a Prime Taoist or Taoist who got touched by them, they would let out a miserable scream as their essence blood dissipated into nothingness, leaving only their empty, floating skins...

...

"This..."

Inside a certain inn, a scholar-like cultivator looked up, his face revealing a look of panic, "What’s happening? Where did this Yushi come from? Why did he make a move so early, completely different from our plan..."

This person had a deep and concealed aura, apparently a Taoist who kept a low profile.

Kneeling behind him were two individuals who exchanged glances, both trembling slightly, "We don’t know..."

"Trash... If we lose the ’Blood Sea Boundless Pill’ because of this and delay the young master’s important affairs, can you bear the responsibility?"

The scholar looked towards the red and black sky, murmuring, "Now all we can hope for is that the Skinless Temple Master’s magical power is profound and can overpower this person... No, we can’t just wait here. Send out a magical message immediately and have Elder Black , Elder White come here..."

"Master Black and Master White? But they have other important matters to take care of..."

One subordinate hesitated, only getting half the words out before the whole person was reduced to ashes in a burst of black flames.

"Still not going?"

The scholar’s face was fierce as he looked at another person.

"Don’t worry, my lord, I’m on it!"

The other subordinate, frightened out of his wits, scrambled away, leaving the scholar to continue watching the ongoing battle.

...

Above the high skies.

The One-horned Ghost King was indeed a potent spell from the Primitive Devil Door, also a third-grade technique.

In the hands of that Foundation Establishment disciple, its power was still restricted to some extent.

Now that it was being activated by a Core Formation level like Fang Xi, it was truly fierce, continuously spewing a green flame from its mouth, burning the bloody radiance.

Its incarnated huge demon creature was also infinitely powerful, fighting the four-armed blood-skinned demon creature for dozens of rounds, and it didn’t fall behind in the slightest.

At this time, Fang Xi wasn’t idle either, continuously urging his magic power.

There was a tearing sound as if fabric was splitting.

In midair, the White Bone Giant Sword actually pierced through the human skin cloak, ejected from its parcel, and transformed into a hundred-zhang long white streamer, crashing down onto the four-armed blood-skinned demon creature!

The Skinless Temple Master, seeing this, could only open its bloody maw and spit out a peculiar pill!

This pill was crimson all over, surrounded by dazzling light, emitting a hundred-zhang long crimson brilliance that shot up to the sky, fiercely smashing into the White Bone Flying Sword.

The Little White Bone Sword magic treasure let out a wail, and its white radiance shattered inch by inch, even showing a crack on its blade.

This sight also startled Fang Xi, "Is this a... Divine Golden Core? So like monster beasts, law cultivators can also expel their own cultivator’s inner core as a last resort? I’ve certainly gained knowledge today..."

If it were him, he would never dare to use his Kuyong Golden Core to clash hard with a magic treasure, not to mention injuring the treasure itself.

But after the brief shock, Fang Xi’s face showed a strange expression, and he harshly slapped the back of his head, "Hmph!"

With a cold snort, several ’Primordial Demon Stabs’ had already hit the blood-red pill, causing it to tremble in midair as if the divine thought of the Skinless Temple Master within it had been shaken.

Taking this opportunity, Fang Xi exhaled a vast expanse of gray-white radiance from his nose, which, with a single sweep, enveloped the ’Boundless Blood Sea Pill’.

Above the pill, a face emerged, vaguely resembling the Skinless Temple Master.

This face was hideously twisted and laced with fear, as the gray radiance pulled it from the Golden Core into Fang Xi’s mouth.

This was clearly the Soul Swallowing ability of the Six Desires Sky Demon Corpse!

And with the loss of this soul to control it, the ferocity of the Blood Sea Boundless Pill greatly diminished, its hundred-zhang crimson light crumbling inch by inch until Fang Xi grabbed it with a big hand.

A pitch-black palm appeared instantly, seizing the pill.

Without a care for the pill’s condition, he immediately sealed it in a jade box, then covered it with seventeen or eighteen sealing talismans.

"Give me back my Golden Core!"

After Fang Xi finished all this, the four-armed demon creature that was entangled with the One-horned Ghost King suddenly let out a miserable scream, its magical power drastically declining.

The One-horned Ghost King, of course, did not miss this opportunity, gripping the blood-skinned demon creature, and fiercely tore it apart!

There was a loud tearing sound!

The blood skin was ripped apart by the sharp claws, and the demon beast inside let out a cry, choosing to abandon the blood skin and directly make its escape!

The One-horned Ghost King let out a sinister laugh, pursuing with the pitch-black light...

Fang Xi then approached the blood skin, his face showing a pensive expression.

In a rushing sound,

The blood skin opened and closed to reveal the aging visage of the Skinless Temple Master: "... I am not reconciled..."

He hung his head, breathless!

Not only that, with his death, the broken human skin cloak immediately flew back, trying to wrap around the body for a counterattack.

Naturally, Fang Xi grabbed the cloak at once, noting the densely packed small characters on the human skin.

"Blood Skin Skills!"

A flash of light darted across his eyes as he let out a long laugh.

The One-horned Ghost King had also returned by now, its stomach hugely swollen, looking thoroughly satisfied.

Seeing this, Fang Xi merely smiled faintly before ensnaring the ghost creature with a Demon Banner, transforming it into a pitch-black Escape Light that swiftly disappeared into the distance...

It was only a long while after his departure that a Taoist poked his head out from below, his face filled with dismay and shock...

...

"Skin Peeling Skills, Skin Shadow Skills, Blood Skin Skills... and even a ’Blood Sea Boundless Pill,’ all gathered for me."

Fang Xi maneuvered the demon light, instantly distancing himself from the Skinless Temple, his eyes twinkling with light.

"If I were to offer them to Yu Hua, perhaps he could actually develop Core Formation combat strength in a short time..."

"But that’s simply impossible, I still need to research this pill... It would be fine if he achieved Foundation Establishment, but does he even dream of reaching Core Formation?"

His annihilation of the Skinless Temple, though dubbed a mission on Heaven’s behalf, was mainly aimed at snatching the temple’s cultivation techniques and Golden Cores.

Spiritual objects were scarce in this realm, and even more so were the wild demon beings outside.

Perhaps, such cultivation techniques were the most valuable treasures of all.

After all, they were incredibly quick to master!

Fang Xi flew out in one breath, not knowing just how far he had gone, refraining from recklessly moving forward only when he ran into a number of demon beings in the wilderness.

Instead, he chose a desolate mountain and casually bore into a cave.

"Considering the time... it’s almost the period agreed upon for my recall by the original body."

"This would be a good opportunity to lay low."

He murmured softly to himself and began to silently cultivate, restoring his Magic Power.

...

However, the city where the Skinless Temple was located had plunged into utter chaos.

The original site of the Skinless Temple had already become ruins, breached by several Taoists who had appeared out of nowhere.

Countless Taoist children fled in panic, or scattered after snatching scrolls, elixirs, and gold and silver.

The citizens in the city were restless and anxious, as if the end of days had come.

At this moment, a black and a white Escape Light, moving at a speed far surpassing ordinary Taoists, arrived above the city.

In an inn, a scholar immediately flew into mid-air and waved his hand to present a Ghost Face Token: "Local guardian Wu Tong, greets Elder Black, Elder White..."

These two were indeed Divine Skill Golden Cores known to be Masters.

Elder Black was dressed in pitch-black garments, with a cold and stern expression, not speaking a word.

Elder White, however, had an even broader smile as he asked, "Where is the Boundless Blood Sea Pill?"

Wu Tong answered stiffly, "To report to Elder White, recently a Master came out of nowhere with unbelievably strong Magic Power and Divine Skills, easily killed the Temple Master of the Skinless Temple, and took the Golden Core before leaving..."

"Impossible!"

Elder Black slowly shook his head.

Elder White’s smile grew even wider: "The Temple Master of the Skinless Temple practiced ’Blood Skin Skills,’ which are indeed not weak in Divine Skills. If it weren’t for his old age, if either of us were to face him alone, we might not necessarily win. Who was it that did this?"

"Unknown, but the image is here..."

The scholar hurriedly took out a piece of white paper with the lifelike image of a handsome young man on it, which was the appearance of Fang Xi’s external incarnation!

"This person, he does not seem to be any Temple Master..."

Elder White looked at the image, lost in thought: "All Yushi in the world belong under the Yanmo Taoist Palace of the Ten Directions Jungle; there should be none suddenly appearing out of nowhere. He must have intentionally concealed his appearance, using a fake face... Forget it, we two will continue to pursue this matter."

"If that’s the case, everything is entrusted to the two Elders."

The scholar quickly bowed deeply.

"Hmm, and also..."

But Elder White continued in a jesting tone: "Making a mistake on the job, there should always be a punishment, you should go back and receive the Yellow Springs punishment..."

The scholar couldn’t help but shudder, yet he dared not resist and instead bowed again: "Thank you for your grace, Elders, I shall obey!"

...

Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm.

Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

Inside the Demon Dragon Car.

"Judging by the time, it’s just about at the appointed period. I wonder how my external incarnation is doing?"

Fang Xi opened his eyes from his meditation, his brow slightly furrowed.

Being too far from his external incarnation, he could only vaguely sense its state and knew nothing of its experiences.

"Although it can still be left to mature for a while, there’s no need to wait until it’s about to develop a second personality. Come back to me now."

As Fang Xi’s thoughts moved, he connected with the ’Treasures of All Heavens’, and a figure appeared in the carriage, the external incarnation itself!

"You have worked hard."

Fang Xi showed a faint smile, and the external incarnation, without saying more, immediately sat down cross-legged.

Fang Xi took a deep breath, formed hand seals, and a series of cyan-yellow radiance pierced into the unresisting eyes of the external incarnation.

In an instant, all experiences of the other in the Red Sun World were as clear as day before Fang Xi’s eyes...
