Several months later.

Inside the Mountain Sea Pearl Dongfu.

Xiao Qing was busily beating up Daqing, treating this third-order Blue Dragon like noodles, kneading it into various shapes...

Suddenly, an intense fluctuation of Demon Qi came through.

"Here we go again..."

Xiao Qing looked towards the Saint’s Dongfu: "The master’s aura has changed several times, this time it’s that even more intimate kind..."

Just as Daqing was about to sneak away, it was once again pinned down by Xiao Qing’s claw, unable to move...

A burst of light and shadow flickered at the door of the Dongfu, revealing a figure.

Xiao Qing and Daqing were both taken aback and turned to look at Fang Xi.

Although Fang Xi still looked human, a dark green Demon Qi lingered around him, indicating he had reached the late stage of transformation!

He was unmistakably from the Monster Clan, no one would mistake it!

"How could this be... Xiao Qing, don’t you recognize your master anymore?"

Fang Xi’s face bore some green patterns as he spoke with a smile.

"Master, could it be that you’ve transformed your bloodline into that of the Monster Clan?"

Xiao Qing let Daqing go and transformed into human form, staring at Fang Xi with big watery eyes, looking him up and down, yet finding not a single flaw!

"Not exactly... However, I am now able to use the Monster Clan’s Cultivation Secret Skills without any problems."

Fang Xi wore an inscrutable expression, then suddenly chanted a Magic Spell.

The next moment, a dark green light surged on his body, revealing a very peculiar set of scale armor.

This armor, woven with jade green scales and colorful feathers, carried a wild and brutal aura.

After putting it on, Fang Xi felt a rush of Giant Strength pouring into his limbs and bones; even a slight clenching of his fist caused a crisp wailing sound in the Void.

"Master’s physical strength... It seems to be comparable to that of a Transformed Great Demon."

Xiao Qing murmured.

"It’s just a Secret Skill..."

Fang Xi smiled faintly: "This ’Heavenly Phoenix Qilin Armor’, it’s not bad, huh?"

This Spirit armor Secret Skill was naturally a coveted spell from the ’Sky Demon Slaying Immortal Tactics’ he had long desired, called ’Thousands Demon Armor.’ It could draw Essence Blood from thousands of Demonic Beasts, having an effect similar to Body Refining. On top of that, it included an incredibly powerful Demon Armor for defense!

This Secret Skill worked on the physical body, more akin to Physical Divine Skill. Once achieved, it could be used freely even if converted to Immortal Path Magic Power.

"Master, you have the scent of Elder Qing and another Jade Qilin on you..."

Xiao Qing sniffed with her delicate nose and confidently stated.

"Your nose is really sharp..."

Fang Xi scraped Xiao Qing’s nose, laughing heartily.

Compared to puppets, personal strength was indeed what mattered most. Thus, he extracted some Essence Blood from Elder Qing and the Jade Qilin, refined it, and integrated it into his body. His physique was now comparable to that of a Monster cultivator!

"This is only the power of the Secret Skill when it’s minimally accomplished... The Jade Qilin is only a mid-tier rank four beast, not quite matching with the top-tier rank four Green Fire Luan, leading to this Thousands Demon Armor being less than perfect..."

"According to this Secret Skill, if I could gather Essence Blood from rank five Heavenly Phoenix, Five Elements Qilin Tribe, Flood Dragon, and Profound Turtle Clan, I could refine the ’Four Holy Beasts Armor’... Its defensive power is unimaginable, and it even has the incredible effect of weakening Heavenly Tribulations!"

After several months of seclusion, Fang Xi had fully mastered the ’Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill,’ allowing him to switch freely between Monster Clan and Demon Clan cultivation methods.

The Soul Searching Skill from the Self-transforming Demon True Skills had also greatly advanced, and the life-saving Secret Skills within the cultivation methods of both Monster and Demon Clans had been eagerly added to Fang Xi’s repertoire.

Now, Fang Xi felt that he possessed the strengths of Immortals, Monsters, and Demons, with his Magic Power and Divine Skills reaching unbelievable realms. Even if he faced a Transcendent God cultivator... without resorting to the Treasures of All Heavens, he might still manage to escape with his life!

He pondered for a moment, and suddenly a small grey tower materialized in his hand – it was the ’Devil-locking Tower’!

Yet, facing the Demon Qi inputted by Fang Xi, the formerly uncontrollable Devil-locking Tower was now being effortlessly refined.

"It seems... that the so-called ’intelligence’ of these Magic Treasures is quite limited..."

Previously, the Devil-locking Tower had been impossible for Fang Xi to refine. Now, it operated as he wished, enveloping him in a ring of grey-white Radiance.

"In terms of power, it even slightly surpasses the ’Blood Kill Hall’..."

Fang Xi put away the Devil-locking Tower, his gaze tinged with melancholy.

"I suppose it’s about to begin on Fang Immortal Taoist Master’s side, isn’t it?"

He stepped out of the Mountain Sea Pearl Dongfu, sat down with his legs crossed, and quietly waited.

...

In The Nine States.

A desolate wilderness spanned for tens of thousands of miles, devoid of people.

Fang Xi and Lord Demon Exterminator stood shoulder to shoulder, looking ahead at Fang Immortal Taoist Master.

"Sir... isn’t it somewhat risky to disable ’The Array of the Twelve Elemental Protectors of the Heavenly Gods’ now?"

Lord Demon Exterminator suggested again: "How about waiting until Sir has successfully transcended to becoming a Transcendent God, then using this as a trap..."

"No need, the Demon Clan isn’t made of fools. If they don’t see a chance for benefit, how could they be willful in taking action?"

Fang Immortal Taoist Master in his flowing white robes replied: "According to our previous deductions, a defensive line formed by numerous Yuan Ying True Monarchs should hold back most of the Demon Clan. Only a few Transcendent God Demon Lords are willing to pay the price and might be able to make it here, disrupting my transcendence..."

"With Bai Mei and Ghost Axe in the Taiyin Line of Defense, they will intervene at critical moments, we should have no worries... Only this path is truly critical. However, if handled well, Ghost Axe could face off against a Demon Lord, and once I become a Transcendent God, I could eliminate an opposing Transcendent God, adding to our chances of victory in the counter-offensive."

Fang Immortal Taoist Master spoke with a slight smile.

"But... this seems to be playing with danger," murmured Lord Demon Exterminator.

"To achieve the great Dao, how can there be no dangers?"

Fang Immortal Taoist Master nodded to Fang Xi, "If I am unfortunate to fall, the matters thereafter will have to be entrusted to you, sir."

"The Taoist Master has left no stone unturned, there certainly won’t be any issues, this time you will definitely transform into a Transcendent God and achieve a great victory over the Demon Clan."

Fang Xi replied earnestly.

"I’ll take your auspicious words."

Fang Immortal Taoist Master laughed heartily, then calmly sat cross-legged and silently circulated his Profound Art.

Seven days later.

There was a boom from heaven and earth, as countless colorful light spots emerged from the void, from the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, from within the mountains, rivers, and earth, converging in the mid-air to form a vast expanse of Five-Colored Glows!

The rolling Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power surged like tidal waves; its momentum so vast that even a thousand miles away, it could be seen clearly!

"As expected of Fang Immortal Taoist Master, to easily invoke such Transcendent God celestial phenomena!"

Fang Xi, feeling the flow of spiritual energy in the void and the subtly intensifying pressure, couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration.

Ninety percent of Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the world could not even cultivate to the perfection of the Nascent Soul Stage in their lifetime.

And among the remaining ten percent, most probably could not even invoke such Transcendent God celestial phenomena!

Of course, Fang Xi felt that with Fang Immortal Taoist Master’s diligent preparations, a breakthrough this smooth was only to be expected!

Fang Immortal Taoist Master clasped his hands together, above his head emerged a patch of green Celebrating Cloud about the size of an acre, faintly taking the shape of a turtle and snake intertwined.

The turtle and the snake ascended into the air, as if a Profound Turtle turned the clouds and a serpent rode the mists, each rising to mid-air, devouring the surging Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power, refining the Five-Colored Glows, their forms growing increasingly vast and distinct.

The Celebrating Cloud behind Fang Immortal Taoist Master continued to expand, from the size of an acre to three, six, then nine acres!

Within the Celebrating Cloud, the turtle and snake dressed in five colors converged; they intertwined suddenly, transforming into a terrifying True Martial Illusion!

The True Martial Illusion roared, actually absorbing the green Celebrating Cloud that contained the infinite Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Power, shrinking continuously in size, entering the body of Fang Immortal Taoist Master!

Like a shackle breaking open, Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness could clearly sense that the flow of magic power within Fang Immortal Taoist Master had broken through the Nascent Soul’s limit and entered a completely new realm!

’As expected of Fang Immortal Taoist Master, breaking through a major realm as easily as eating and drinking... Next should be the Heaven Tribulation, right?’

Fang Xi looked up, only to see clouds churning and lightning flickering.

To break through to Transcendent God, one naturally has to face the tribulation!

Not just that!

The ’Taiyi Sutra’ in his hand was also issuing constant warnings, indicating that the Taiyin Line of Defense was under fierce attack by the Demon Clan!

’This time it seems like both Heaven Tribulation and Demon Calamity have come together... I wonder how many of the four Demon Lords from Taiyin Star will ultimately arrive?’

...

Taiyin Star.

The twelve space stations that had been orbiting suddenly contracted, only activating the most basic defensive barriers, as if malfunctioning.

"The Array of the Twelve Elemental Protectors of the Heavenly Gods... has stopped!"

"Under the command of the Holy Clan... with me, charge!"

A human-shaped demon from the Demon Clan with bull horns and hooves emitted a sky-shaking ancient demonic roar, actually a great cultivator of the late Nascent Soul stage!

This bull-headed demon roared, transforming into a beam of demonic light, rising towards the firmament from Taiyin Star, with a horde of strangely shaped Ancient Demon Beasts following. On the backs of those Ancient Demon Beasts stood numerous Demon Clan cultivators, with fierce men and beautiful women resembling Asuras, their aura terrifying, none below the Core Formation stage...

"Kill!"

On a Patrol Sky Warship in orbital trajectory, Lord Jian Nan shouted loudly; the warship’s cannons roared, and beams of destroying divine light fell, each strike easily claiming a large number of Demon Clan lives.

He looked at the horned demon and stretched out his hand toward the interior of the ship: "Sword, come!"

Whoosh!

A golden light appeared, settling in his hand, transforming into a golden Flying Sword.

"With a sword in hand, neither ghosts nor gods remain, quick!"

Lord Jian Nan made a sword gesture, and the golden Flying Sword turned into a golden rainbow, like a shooting star flying by.

Pff!

In mid-air, the golden Flying Sword turned into 1.296 billion nanoscale flying needles.

Pff, pff!

The needles easily penetrated the hundred-refined demonic bodies of low-level demons but were blocked by Nascent Soul demons.

Seeing this, Lord Jian Nan roared in his heart: "I am not who I used to be!"

"Metal Flying Rice Sword Array, activate!"

He spared no expense of sword energy, and those golden needles suddenly exploded, each turning into millions of flying rice-sized tiny needles!

Pff, pff!

This time, many more Nascent Soul Demons’ dantians burst open, screaming as they turned to ash.

Only the horned demon, with hands forming a spell, released a silver horned Magic Treasure into a silver beam of light, firmly protecting himself and a few close associates: "Damn it... It’s that move again, the human race’s magic spells and spirit treasures are evolving too fast..."

The Demon Clan was indeed helpless.

Initially, the human race of The Nine States was beaten back step by step, but later they were able to organize a counterattack, suppressing the Demon Clan at the front line of Taiyin Star.

Even more unimaginably, every few years, new spells and spirit treasures would emerge!

A few years! Ordinary demons would sleep through that time... It’s really quite disheartening...
