Chapter 522: Chapter 520: Blood Fiend Banner (Please Subscribe)_1

In the midst of the azure Celebrating Clouds, a ferocious Demon Shadow and a palace faintly emerged, manipulating the Power of Heaven and Earth, constantly entangling and depleting...

"A godsend opportunity!"

Recalling what Fang Immortal Taoist Master had said earlier, Fang Xi’s eyes brightened, and his Divine Consciousness quickly connected with the ’Heaven Star Array.’

"Quick!"

Streams of starlight descended, transforming into the figure of the Star Lord, wearing a crown of the sun and moon and a robe of myriad stars, his hands forming seals.

The Star Tower drew in cosmic rays, turning them into the chaotic-colored ’All Heavens Ten Grounds Sun and Moon Five Stars Extinguish Demon God Light,’ sweeping towards the direction of the White Bone Altar.

Whoosh!

Wherever the starlight flood passed, even Nascent Soul completion Demon Clan members were instantly turned to ash, their Nascent Souls unable to escape!

"Transcendent God combat power?! Set the array!"

Above the White Bone Altar, the last seven ’Sky-crazy Battle Demons’ still guarded, each with seven fingers and a fierce appearance, all at the late or completion stage of the Nascent Soul.

Amid their roaring voices, the seven great Demon Clans formed an Array, a ring, a flag banner... along with Demon Sabers, Demon Pearls, Demon Swords, Demon Mirrors, and other spiritual treasures arose, assembling into an odd Array!

A surge of profound black Demon Qi shot up into the sky, where a giant Demon Phantom seemed to be roaring and bellowing.

The ’All Heavens Ten Grounds Sun and Moon Five Stars Extinguish Demon God Light’ fell upon the pitch-black Array, causing continuous fluctuations in the Array, but it was never able to break through.

At this moment, the leading aged Demon Clan member sneered coldly, and a Blood-colored Talisman was sacrificed.

Humming!

At the location of the bronze gate, the ’Blood Fiend Banner’ hanging above the gate flashed with vivid crimson Demon patterns, suddenly emitting a stream of blood-red rosy light.

Within that blood-red rosy light, there seemed to be silver Phoenix Seal Scripts intermingled.

Fang Xi, caught off guard, was directly pulled into it!

...

As far as the eye could see, it was a bright red space.

With a slight shock, the Divine Infant Sword appeared in his hand, surrounded by blood threads throughout the Void.

At the same time, he opened his mouth to spew out a pitch-black Demon Flames that ignited fiercely.

This was the great Divine Skill ’Six Demonic Flames,’ born after a Heterodox Nascent Soul refined the Six Great Demonic Flames, a formidable fire kind whose power even average Cultivators would not dare to confront head-on.

"Humph, no matter how many defenses you have, within this Blood Sha Void, there is only one outcome—annihilation."

Not far away, the Demon Qi flashed, and the Nascent Soul completion old demon emerged, with a slight cold smile on his scaly face.

"This place... Could it be the inner space of a Void Spiritual Treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xi’s eyebrows raised gently.

"Hehe... Not only is it a Treasure of Void, but it is also one of the Seven Sacred Artefacts of the Demon Realm, the ’Blood Fiend Banner.’ This banner is of the fifth rank, and even Transcendent God Cultivators trapped within would struggle to escape... In a short while, you will be reduced to pus and blood!" the aged Demon Clan member said with a strange laugh.

In fact, if the full power of the ’Blood Fiend Banner’ was unleashed, Fang Xi might have been suppressed the moment he entered this Void space.

But the majority of the mighty force of the fifth-rank ’Blood Fiend Banner’ was being used to fix the ’Door of Sky Demon,’ and even this aged Demon Clan member could only rely on a blood talisman left by the Green Head Demon Lord, borrowing merely a tenth of the ’Blood Fiend Banner’s power.

Even so, trapping a Transcendent God was not a big issue.

However, the ’Blood Fiend Banner’ could not move, so its range of influence only covered the area near the White Bone Altar... It was the Demon Clan’s last resort!

"The people of the Nine States are good at borrowing external forces, but even if you have the combat power of a Transcendent God with the help of external objects, what of it? Can you sense your Origin Soul magical artifacts in this Blood Sha Void? Can you still wield Transcendent God combat power?"

The aged Demon Clan member sneered weirdly: "Now, you’re just a mere mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator! Surrender your life to me!"

He roared, and his form swelled dramatically, turning into a three-zhang-tall pitch-black giant demon, its glossy claws descending like millstones.

"Ignorant of death!"

Fang Xi commented coldly, and the Divine Infant Sword let out a mournful screech, with the Six Demonic Flames directly attaching to it and slicing through the sky!

The blood-red sword light and pitch-black Demon Flames enveloped half of the Void, from which the anguished cries of the aged Demon Clan member could be heard.

He turned into a demon light to make a swift retreat, looking at his right hand.

His right claw was dripping with fresh blood, several claws were shockingly missing!

The aged Demon Clan member was both shocked and angry, not having expected that a mere mid-stage Demon Cultivator not only possessed the Divine Infant Sword but also such terrifying Demon Flames!

At this moment, pitch-black Demon Flames were still stubbornly burning on his wound, even eroding his Essence Blood, Magic Power, and even his Demon Core, and they seemed to carry a severe poison!

The Six Demonic Flames contained six types of Demon Flames, each with its own characteristics.

Even late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators touched by them would find themselves in a great deal of trouble.

"Damn it!"

The aged Demon Clan member used several secret techniques in succession, but he could not dissipate the Six Demonic Flames.

Meanwhile, in the Void, there was a flash of Sword Light!

The Divine Infant Sword had instantly moved behind him, and another blood-red Sword Light thrust out!

The aged Demon Clan member formed seals with one hand, and waves of black Qi behind him transformed into pythons, Flood Dragons... but they were all shredded by the Sword Light of the Divine Infant Sword.

Yet this spell managed to buy him some time; he threw out a pitch-black Demon Ring, caught the Divine Infant Sword in it, and fled in disarray.

Crack!

After retreating dozens of zhang, the aged Demon Clan member heard a cry of agony.

His heart stirred, only to see cracks on the Demon Treasure iron ring inflicted by the Divine Infant Sword, causing great pain in his heart.

"Damn demon cultivators... This replica of the Divine Infant Sword is extremely well-crafted; it belongs to me now."

The decrepit member of the Demon Clan made up his mind, opened his gaping maw, and spat out a crimson talisman covered in various Sky Demon mysterious seals.

He fiercely bit through his purple tongue, and streams of essence blood spurted out, falling onto the talisman.

The talisman absorbed all the essence blood, becoming even more blood-red in color.

Within the Blood Sha Space, streaks of blood light fell as if forming chains, aiming to pierce through both the Divine Infant Sword and Fang Xi!

By conducting a blood sacrifice with his own essence blood on the talisman, the decrepit member of the Demon Clan borrowed even more power from the ’Blood Fiend Banner’!

He had realized that he might not be a match for that strange demon cultivator, so he decided to consume his essence blood and use the talisman to draw upon the power of the ’Blood Fiend Banner’, refining that demon cultivator alive!

’There’s nothing major happening at the bronze door, and even if I borrow more power from the ’Blood Fiend Banner’, it’ll be safe... Once I refine this person, the Divine Infant Sword will be mine.’

Watching the blood-colored flames gather in the sky, the decrepit Demon Lord’s eyes flickered with pleasure and greed.

"I hate those who cheat because they can’t win a fight!"

Fang Xi looked at the decrepit member of the Demon Clan: "I’m done playing with you!"

The next instant.

He retracted the Divine Infant Sword, and his figure simply vanished from the Blood Sha Space!

"Impossible!"

The decrepit member of the Demon Clan’s eyes bulged at the sight.

The ’Blood Fiend Banner’ is one of the Seven Sacred Artefacts of the Demon Realm, a true Spirit Communication Transformation Treasure. Even Transcendent God cultivators struggle to break free once captured; how could a Nascent Soul possibly...?

In the next moment, a panic that was connected by blood transmitted through, causing the decrepit member of the Demon Clan’s complexion to change drastically. Without a second thought, his figure flickered and disappeared from the Blood Sha Space...

...

Surrounding the White Bone Altar, the surviving Nascent Souls of the Nine States were still locked in a life-and-death struggle with the Demon Clan.

And Lord Demon Exterminator was still pinned in place by seven demon nails in the Void, unable to move.

"The Chief Law Enforcer has been taken into a fifth-order Spirit Communicating Treasure; I fear the worst... Bai Mei, Bai Mei..."

Lord Demon Exterminator was beside himself with anxiety, calling out repeatedly.

Master Bai Mei, however, was struggling as well. Although he wielded the power of a Transcendent God with the help of the ’Sun True Fire Cover’, he could barely hold back Demon Lord Huo Qiong and was at his limit; how could he spare any strength to help?

’The Taoist Master has calculated that the Chief Law Enforcer is the one to end the Demon Disaster; there should be no mistake.’

Right at that moment, the spirit light of the Blood Fiend Banner above the White Bone Altar dimmed a little.

This was because the decrepit member of the Demon Clan used the blood sacrifice talisman to draw away more of the power from this Spirit Communicating Treasure.

The bronze door suddenly began to close a bit, and the endless tide of Demon Beasts that poured from it was cut off abruptly, like floodgates holding back a deluge!

Around the White Bone Altar, within the Void, a shadowy figure that was barely visible suddenly appeared—it was Master Ghost Axe.

He roared in anger, wielding a massive axe engraved with a ghost head and brutally chopped it towards the White Bone Altar!

"Haha, we knew you humans had this trick up your sleeve!"

Above the White Bone Altar, the remaining six great demon cultivators each activated a magic treasure, forming the previous battle array.

Although weakened considerably, they had no problem fending off a late stage Nascent Soul.

If it weren’t for their steadfast defense, it might have been possible for Master Ghost Axe to be overwhelmed and perish.

Splat!

A surge of dark radiance flashed upon the ghost-headed great axe as it revealed numerous talismans that exploded violently.

The radiance they produced caused the White Bone Altar to tremble slightly!

"Change array... Six Desires Sky Demon Array!"

A Nascent Soul member of the Demon Clan with purple horns on his head immediately roared, apparently a rare Array Master among the demons.

"Indeed, we must not underestimate the cultivators of this realm, but as long as we are united in our defense, once the great one slays the Fang Immortal Taoist Master, this world will belong to our Demon Clan..."

The Purple Horned Demon Clan member said with a cold sneer.

Currently, the sky above was shrouded in demon clouds, and they had already forced Celebrating Cloud to shrink to one-tenth of its size, a clear sign that Fang Immortal Taoist Master was at a distinct disadvantage.

Master Ghost Axe was also aware of this.

His expression resolute, he displayed a series of eerie spirit marks all over his body. He was using Flying Rice technology to etch a terrifying array pattern onto his entire being.

"Bai Mei, Demon Exterminator... I am about to enact the ’Six Extermination Secret Array.’ If I burn everything, I can deal a blow near that of a Transcendent God... What happens next will be up to you... May the Nine States endure forever!"

Master Ghost Axe’s eyes blazed like fire, his last words already transmitted through the network.

Just then, something unexpected happened!

Accompanied by a heart-wrenching sword cry, a black Divine Infant Sword streaked with countless veins appeared suddenly behind the Purple Horned Demon Clan member, bypassing the Six Desires Sky Demon Array as if teleporting!

Stab!

With one slash of the Divine Infant Sword, the Purple Horned Demon Clan member who had been wearing a triumphant smile was bisected at the waist.

A pitch-black Demon Infant emerged, trying to flee but was threaded by a red line and pulled into the Divine Infant Sword!

"Chief Law Enforcer!"

Master Ghost Axe exclaimed in surprise.

The one who appeared was none other than the Heterodox Nascent soul!

He had been summoned back to the Western Desert by his main body, directly escaping the Blood Sha Space, and then used the ’Treasures of All Heavens’ to teleport back, killing one of the six great demon cultivators guarding the bronze door with a single strike!
