Boom!

The Star Torrent continued unabated, rushing towards the thousand-zhang-long Transcendent God Heavenly Phoenix!

The Transcendent God Heavenly Phoenix opened its beak and spat out a crimson flag, from which strands of Fire Formation Divine Light converged, forming a Flame Phoenix. Its wings constantly burning, runes flickering unstably, suddenly the phoenix opened its beak and emitted a clear cry.

When the Star Torrent met the crimson Fire Formation Divine Light, they quickly neutralized each other... Eventually evaporating together into wisps of blue smoke.

Only Elder Luan and the three Demons were nowhere to be seen.

The Transcendent God Heavenly Phoenix almost spat blood!

Since descending to the Mortal Realm, when had the Heavenly Phoenix Clan ever suffered such a loss?

It screamed, Fire Formation Divine Light raging around its body like a blazing vault of heaven, it lunged towards the Stars Body!

"Quickly!"

Fang Xi controlled the Stars Body to form a seal with his hands, and another ’All Heavens Ten Grounds Sun Moon Five Stars Demonic Destruction Divine Light’ shot out in an instant...

...

The Fire Formation Divine Light and the Star Mysterious Light clashed, causing the entire Thousand Island Lake to tremble.

Boom!

After another fierce bout, the Transcendent God Heavenly Phoenix was sent tumbling back ten thousand zhang, staring at the Stars Body, now showing cracks across its surface. The colors of the rainbow flashed in the eyes of the phoenix, as if it directly saw Fang Xi hiding within!

"Pff!"

Fang Xi spat out a mouthful of blood, his breath weak: "Transcendent God Heavenly Phoenix, so formidable..."

But the Heavenly Phoenix no longer believed.

It didn’t know how long ago the opponent had been in this state, and after going back and forth in battle, the same wretched look remained! It was convinced of the opponent’s trickery!

It surveyed the surroundings and suddenly felt a sense of urgency: ’Two Transcendent God-level powers going all out, how has this Thousand Island Lake not been destroyed yet?’

The aftermath of such Transcendent God-level power clashes should have already caused thousands of miles to collapse and turn to scorched earth!

The Transcendent God Heavenly Phoenix flapped its wings, and streams of Fire Formation Divine Light mixed with silver brilliance fell into the surrounding Void.

Pop!

Layers of black mist emerged, within which seemed to be countless vine nets, blocking all the Fire Formation Divine Light!

It was the ’Yin Yang Nine Nether Profound Wood Array’!

While Fang Xi and many from the Monster Clan dueled, ’Tai Yi’ had been controlling the Yellow Turban Strongmen and nano-robots to discreetly repair the formation, and now it was nearly restored!

"Despicable!"

The Transcendent God Heavenly Phoenix cursed furiously; two fifth-order formations stacked together meant it might actually fall here!

"Haha... as they say, all’s fair in war!"

Fang Xi laughed heartily, straightening his back at this moment. His breath surged as the Yi Wood physique drew in nearby Wood Spiritual Power, replenishing his Magic Power.

"Nine Nether Profound Wood, rise!"

He pointed with one hand, and streams of black mist pressed down from the sky.

At the same time, the ’Heaven Star Array’ roared to life, stars chaining down and piercing the Heavenly Phoenix’s wings, momentarily restraining it in place!

Behind Fang Xi, a fierce cannon barrel emerged.

The cold voice of Tai Yi rang out: "Target trajectory captured, Chaotic Hole Star Destroyer Cannon... fire!"

Boom!

A beam of chaotic-colored Divine Light pierced through the Heavenly Phoenix’s body, even bursting through the Yin Yang Nine Nether Profound Wood Array and vanishing into the horizon!

Within the formation, multicolored feathers rained down, mixed with crimson, Liuli-like Essence Blood that seemed still aflame!

—Blood of a fifth-order Heavenly Phoenix!

On the ground, countless Demonic Tree vines emerged, gathering everything.

Just a short distance away, a crimson light flashed, the thousand-zhang fiery phoenix disappeared, replaced by an elder in human form.

In his chest was a fierce wound!

"Perhaps... today I could reverse-slay a Transcendent God while in my Nascent Soul state?"

Upon seeing this scene, Fang Xi’s eyes lit up slightly, and the Stars Body gathered countless starlights, ready to strike again.

"Explode!"

The Transcendent God Heavenly Phoenix, seeing the black mist reemerging, a slight reluctance on his face, violently threw out the crimson flag in his hand.

Boom!

A terrifying flame erupted within the Yin Yang Nine Nether Profound Wood Array!

From a bird’s eye view, one could see the inky black egg resembling a chicken’s egg, being burned and riddled with holes by flame after flame.

To escape with its life, the Transcendent God Monster Cultivator actually self-destructed its own fifth-order ’Spirit Communicating Treasure’!

Whoosh!

The moment the Yin Yang Nine Nether Profound Wood Array was breached, a streak of firelight fled from the formation, disappearing into the sky with an inconceivable speed...

...

Fang Xi watched the direction in which the Transcendent God Heavenly Phoenix had flown but did not pursue.

Using the Heaven Star Array’s Transcendent God’s might to chase would indeed be a bit of a joke.

"Besides..."

He spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood, his breath starting to weaken, as the Stars Body suddenly dispersed...

After a moment.

Fang Xi muttered to himself: "It seems... there were no ambushers?"

He formed a seal with his hands, casting the ’Indestructible Body of Yi Wood’, and endless Vitality flowed from within his body, healing his injuries in an instant!

He had feigned weakness to deceive the enemy, hoping to see if there were more foes remaining.

Now, it seemed the performance had been for the air.

"Never mind... Having decimated the Monster Clan’s army to just one fifth-order Heavenly Phoenix is already a success."

Given the Heavenly Phoenix Clan’s mastery of Void Force, unless one is trapped within a double array formation with no escape, it is nearly impossible to kill them.

Fang Xi waved his large sleeve and turned into a streak of blue light, returning to Jade Island.

"Alliance Master!"

Above Jade Island, Demon Lord Tian Du transformed into a streak of black light and landed before Fang Xi.

Looking at the unharmed Fang Xi and perceiving the prior fluctuations, he had guessed what happened but still found it hard to believe as he asked, "That Transcendent God Monster cultivator!"

"Has been driven away by me..."

Fang Xi answered casually, not minding the remaining Nascent Soul old monsters dumbfounded, and returned to Jade Island.

"Young Master is back!"

Xiao Qing was the first to run over and threw herself into Fang Xi’s arms, "I knew it, Young Master could definitely defeat that old man..."

"Haha."

Fang Xi laughed heartily, putting Xiao Qing down, and scanned the faces of Zhong Hongyu, Liu Xu, and the other ladies, "The beast tide has receded, all is well!"

Seeing this, Zhong Hongyu and the other cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Night falls.

The shocking events of the Alliance Master of the Righteous and Demonic Paths and the Master of Dragon Fish Island sweeping through the beast tide and battling the Transcendent God Monster cultivator still echoed within Thousand Island Lake.

But Fang Xi came under the Monster Tree and began to retreat to check his spoils.

The vicinity of the Monster Tree was still designated a forbidden area by him.

Of course, with so many lessons learned from before, even the Nascent Soul old monsters only wished to stay far away from this Demon Tree—after all, no one wanted to be hung up to dry!

Fang Xi placed his hand on the trunk of the tree, silently feeling for a moment.

"Although the Great Array was broken and lost some Primordial Energy... the stored essence blood is immense!"

"Besides, there are still a large number of puppets above third rank and transformed monster cultivators..."

"I wonder how the Monster Tree will grow after it has devoured all of these members of the Monster Clan?"

Fang Xi extended his hand into the Storage Ring to feel around.

Jade bottles containing fourth-rank great demonic beast essence blood appeared one after another.

"There’s also the essence blood of a fourth-rank mid-grade Jiao Dragon, which makes Daqing seem worthless... Unfortunately, I couldn’t get my hands on it before the fight."

Fang Xi sighed and looked at the last jade box.

Inside the jade box were pieces of fifth-rank Heavenly Phoenix blood, like crimson glass!

Within that red amber-like blood seemed to dance tiny flames...

The fifth-rank Heavenly Phoenix had been severely injured, and its plumes and essence blood had naturally fallen off in large amounts, all of which had been collected by Fang Xi.

"The feathers of a fifth-rank Heavenly Phoenix are top-grade materials for refining treasures of the fire attribute..."

"As for the essence blood, it can be used to practice the ’Thousands Demon Armor’ Secret Skill!"

The current Thousands Demon Skill was still at the ’Small Four Spirits Armor’ stage, yet it could withstand the sneak attack of a Transcendent God Monster cultivator, making Fang Xi quite satisfied with its power.

If he truly gathered the essence blood of four fifth-rank monarchs of the Monster Clan to refine the ’Four Holy Beasts Armor’, just what kind of power would it possess?

Blue light flashed.

The ’Green Barley Sword’ appeared in Fang Xi’s hand, and on its blade, there was still a clot of blood.

"That vulture demon must have exhibited some kind of innate Divine Skill before death..."

Fang Xi’s eyes twinkled with blue light as he saw the dense red runes within the clot of blood, resembling chains.

"Hmph! It only took advantage because the Green Barley Sword was out of power... Otherwise, even if its Divine Consciousness was sealed, its internal AI could still burst forth and kill..."

He lamented briefly, then a pure azure fire burst forth.

Deep blue flames engulfed the Green Barley Sword as the clot of blood rapidly turned into thin wisps of pitch-black smoke, which were endlessly refined...

"Having slain so many from the Monster Clan this time, the power of the Green Barley Sword and the Devil-locking Tower has greatly increased... I truly won big."

Fang Xi’s expression was solemn.

The bigger he won, the more it proved how disastrously the Heavenly Phoenix Clan had lost!

That’s why he rebuilt the ’Yin Yang Nine Nether Profound Wood Array’ straight away, without even retrieving the Star Tower.

He would not dismantle the arrays until the descent from the Higher Realm was completely over.

"Now that I possess the strength of a Transcendent God, there are not many threats left in the Mortal Realm..."

"Next, naturally, is to cultivate my Nascent Soul Late-Stage magic power to perfection and then attempt to break through to the Transcendent God realm!"

Fang Xi sat cross-legged, his demeanor grave.

Transcending to a God is a vast chasm!

Most cultivators in the Mortal Realm could only hope to touch upon this threshold.

And the resources that can assist in the breakthrough to Transcendent God are nearly extinct.

"Transcending to a God begins with the three stages of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, followed by the Heart Demon, Five Elements, and Heavenly Thunder tribulations!"

Fang Xi meditated thoughtfully, his brow furrowed.

"To break through to Transcendent God, the first thing to face is the disruption from the great environment of heaven and earth and the decline of spiritual energy... For someone who has practiced the ’Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill’ like me, that can be directly ignored..."

"Physically, I’ve practiced the ’Small Four Spirits Armor’ and, after refining the ’Fifth-Rank Heavenly Phoenix’ essence blood, I should roughly be ready."

"In terms of magic power, the ’Kuyong Skills’ cultivated to the nineteenth layer to perfection should not hold me back..."

"My Divine Consciousness has always far surpassed those of my peers, so that shouldn’t be a big issue either..."

"Then come the Heart Demon, Five Elements, and Heavenly Thunder tribulations!"

’Small Four Spirits Armor’ has a miraculous effect against various external calamities, and Fang Xi does not believe that with his magical treasures and Divine Skills, he will not be able to handle the Five Elements and Thunder tribulations!

"So, only the Heart Demon Tribulation is left, huh?"

After pondering for a while, he had a plan: "In the next period, I’ll dedicate myself to the arduous practice of the ’Seven Emotions and Sorrows Script’..."
