Chapter 603: Chapter 601: The Death of Valley God (Request for Monthly Votes)_1

"This Valley God Secret Realm Array is extremely mysterious, likely set up by an Array Grandmaster. It can continuously draw upon the Power of the Valley God to reinforce the seal... and it even nurtures worms with its life force essence..."

"I wonder if extracting the essence and soul of this Valley God could yield a second ’Fortune Worm’..."

Fang Xi pondered in secret, but he also knew it would be difficult.

He didn’t have the recipe for the ’Fortune Worm’, and even if he wanted to upgrade the original, he had no idea where to begin.

Moreover, he wasn’t a worm cultivator, and his attitude towards using worms was purely instrumental—he viewed the ’Fortune Worm’ solely as a tool.

As for observing fortune, seeking good luck and avoiding bad... in the end, it still relied on one’s own strength.

As long as one’s strength was superior, any danger could easily be overcome, and even a bloodbath could be turned into the enemy’s disaster.

"Release the Array!"

Having made up his mind, Fang Xi said to Master Golden Light and the others.

"As you command!"

Master Golden Light and the other Nascent Souls did not dare delay, taking out their Array Flags and tokens one after another to continuously input their magic power.

The mists dissipated, revealing the original Valley God Secret Realm.

But by then, the entrance to the Secret Realm had already changed beyond recognition, with only a layer of crimson light screen remaining.

Behind the light screen, countless streams of green Demon Qi surged, barely revealing a massive face.

This face had clear features, emitting Evil Qi, not resembling the human race. Its mouth kept opening and closing, emitting deafening roars: "Valley God... Valley God!"

Just hearing this voice, Master Golden Light and the few other Nascent Souls felt their blood churning, almost causing their magic power to dissipate.

"Amitabha..."

Master Golden Light clasped his hands in the fearless gesture, roaring like a lion’s roar, "Why should the external demon disturb my Zen heart!"

Roar! Roar!

In the Void, a golden lion’s head faintly emerged, its fur made of pure gold, with countless runes rising and falling, unleashing a thunderous bellow.

The three other Nascent Soul cultivators finally reacted, retreating dozens of miles like avoiding venomous snakes, and then thanking Master Golden Light: "Thank you, Grand Cultivator, for lending your aid..."

"Sigh, only now do I realise that the gap between myself and a Transcendent God is as vast as that between the clouds and the mud..."

Master Golden Light looked at the motionless Fang Xi with a bitter smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with longing.

As a cultivator, who wouldn’t want to break through to a great realm?

"Wind, come forth!"

Fang Xi did not pay attention to the mere Nascent Souls, merely raising his hand.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

All over the world, countless blue light orbs flickered, and a massive amount of wind attribute Spiritual Power gathered, turning into streams of Fire Formation Divine Light.

This Divine Light was incredibly pure. In Fang Xi’s hands, it became a gentle breeze that wrapped around his fingers, blowing into the crimson light barrier.

The wind aided the flames!

In an instant, the radiance of the crimson light barrier intensified.

Streams of Fire Formation Divine Light turned into Flood Dragons, constantly purifying the green Demon Qi of the Valley God Demon Lord!

"The Valley God is immortal!"

The massive face roared, and streams of purple serpent-like Demon Qi surged out of its gaping mouth, repeatedly dying together with the Fire Formation Flood Dragons.

"Lightning, come!"

Fang Xi, watching this scene, remained calm and composed, and once again pinched a magic spell.

Crackle!

Above the sky, countless dark clouds converged, with lightning flashing through them, looking like intertwining electric serpents, and turned into a fierce lightning dragon as it fiercely crashed down!

Even though these were magic-made lightning and didn’t contain Heavenly Might like Heaven Tribulation, they still made the massive face reveal a hint of fear.

Boom!

Suddenly, the sky and earth turned white!

A resplendent lightning dragon crashed down, striking the massive face.

That face was blasted with a huge hole, with flesh and blood flying everywhere.

But quickly, the flying pieces of flesh and blood, as if filled with intelligence and spirit, flew back of their own accord and slotted into the cavity.

With a flash of blue light, the indentation on the huge face disappeared, as if it was completely unharmed!

"Indeed, an Immortal Body!"

Fang Xi smiled faintly; his control of the wind and lightning was not to kill the Valley God Demon Lord, but to draw its attention.

At this moment, stream after stream of Divine Thought turned from ethereal to solid, infiltrating various parts of the Secret Realm.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

One after another, half-transparent chains emerged from the Void, layer upon layer wrapping around the Valley God Demon Lord.

The numerous streams of green Demon Qi dispersed.

Only then did Fang Xi get a clear view of the true appearance of the Valley God Demon Lord!

Its body was a dusky green like a canine, massive as a small mountain, yet bore a human face. At this moment, it was looking ferociously threatening, a very terrifying sight.

"With your performance just now, even without the Secret Realm’s restriction, I fear you are no longer a match for me..."

Fang Xi sighed. His Transcendent God magic power surged forth, activating the Great Array within the Secret Realm.

Streams of array patterns emerged from the ground, as if drawing power from the Valley God Demon Lord, causing the ferocity on its face to gradually fade, turning into confusion, and soon it lay on the ground, falling into a deep sleep...

Master Golden Light, watching this scene from not far away, couldn’t help but be visibly delighted.

"Truly worthy of a Transcendent God cultivator, with a mere move, he has put this Demon Lord to sleep... If we take this opportunity to reinforce the Secret Realm’s seals, then sealing this demon for a thousand years would undoubtedly be no issue."

But Fang Xi did not go through all this trouble simply to seal this demon for a few hundred more years!

He flicked his hand, and a water ball appeared in the Void, growing larger.

A jade flask was upturned, and half of purple medicinal liquid entered, transforming into shapes of various poisons.

"Go!"

Fang Xi pointed at the Valley God Demon Lord, and the glob of medicinal liquid fell, enveloping the huge body of the demon and entering through the seven apertures.

Soon, the Valley God Demon Lord began to tremble violently.

"Valley God!"

It suddenly opened its eyes, with purple blood flowing from them!

"Quick!"

Fang Xi’s expression remained unchanged as he raised his hand to grab.

Even though he could manipulate the forces of all phenomena, his true forte was still the "Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light"!

Pff!

A streak of blue light shone, turning into a crescent shape, and swept across the face of the Valley God, leaving behind a smooth wound.

This time, a large amount of blood flowed from the Valley God’s wound without recirculating back!

"After the Immortal Body is breached, you’re just a Transcendent God demon beast... and a mad one at that, which makes you very easy to deal with."

Fang Xi formed a magic spell with his hands, and the pressure in the Secret Realm suddenly intensified!

Then, transparent chains shot straight into the Valley God’s body, with copious amounts of fresh blood soaking them...

"Die!"

He clapped his hands together and pulled fiercely.

A hundred-zhang-long blue rainbow emerged, crossing the neck of the Valley God Demon Lord.

Bang!

The enormous head first froze slightly in shock, then with a thunderous crash, it fell to the ground as a vast amount of blood gushed out like a waterfall.

In the pool of blood, a Demon Pill the size of an adult’s head appeared, surrounded by a dense aura of greenish demon Qi.

"Bind!"

Fang Xi’s face was expressionless as a bolt of lightning struck down, hitting the Demon Pill dead center.

Inside the Demon Pill, the vague figure of the Valley God Demon Lord could be seen, which upon being struck by the lightning, immediately dissipated significantly.

Hum!

A grayish-white small tower hovered above the Demon Pill, suddenly exerting a terrifying suction force.

Rings of grayish-white light descended, amidst which countless runes flickered, drawing the demon soul into it.

Without the spirit to command it, the Demon Pill immediately became like an inert object, falling from the sky, and was collected into a jade box by a magic spell cast by Fang Xi.

"This..."

Not far off, Master Golden Light and the others saw this scene and were in disbelief.

This was the Transcendent God demon lord that even ancient divine skill cultivators were helpless against, and it had been slain so effortlessly?

For Fang Xi, this was indeed quite simple.

After all, the most powerful Immortal Body of the Valley God Demon Lord had been broken, and it was in a half-sealed state, like a mad dog in an iron cage, without much lethality... Not to mention, being sealed for so many years, it had long been greatly weakened.

Not every Transcendent God demon lord was as freakish as the Black Taisui from the Eastern Seas.

In Fang Xi’s hand, a blue light flashed and the Mountain Sea Pearl appeared, collecting the corpse of the Valley God Demon Lord, not sparing even a drop of blood.

’The Demon Tree is currently unable to make Transcendent God Puppets...’

’The corpse of this Transcendent God Demon Lord, however, can be transformed into flesh and blood, serving as nourishment for the promotion of the Demon Tree... The demon soul and Demon Pill also have significant uses.’

Fang Xi made up his mind quietly.

Such remnants of a Transcendent God demon lord surely should not be wasted.

As for the ’Thousand Defeats Poison’? Naturally, he also had a method to detoxify it.

Moreover... Fang Xi began to doubt whether this once-powerful poison could even trouble the Ancestral Demon Tree...

...

In the time that followed, Fang Xi did not leave but thoroughly explored the Valley God Secret Realm.

As a Secret Realm sealed by ancient cultivators, this small world actually housed quite a few good items.

Having grabbed only a Blood River Stone during his last visit amid danger and haste, he had been rather wasteful.

Fortunately, now that the Valley God Demon Lord had been killed, the entire Secret Realm was at his disposal.

On a grassy lawn, countless peculiar worms fluttered about, turning into orbs of multi-colored light that lingered around a young man.

The youth leaned against an ancient tree, holding a bronze cauldron in his hands, carefully examining the inscriptions on it.

"The Valley God Secret Realm truly is a sanctum for worm cultivators... Most of what it produces is also related to worm cultivation."

After a long while, Fang Xi set down the bronze cauldron and sighed.

He had originally planned to loot a significant amount of resources from the Secret Realm, to recoup from his previous extravagant spending.

Now it seemed that things were not as perfect as he had hoped.

After all, most of the items in the Secret Realm were spirit materials for worm cultivators, which would be hard to offload unless he happened to meet a high-ranking worm cultivator.

Luckily, while top-tier materials like the ’Blood River Stone’ were rare, there were some present, and hence Fang Xi was not utterly disappointed.

"Fortune Worm..."

He closed his eyes, and a part of the worm cultivation inheritance he had gained from this Secret Realm flowed past like a tranquil stream.

"Drawing from the essence of a myriad of worms to strengthen oneself... Even the creation of the Fortune Worm needs both fortune and opportunity... Although the worm is exotic, advancing it is extremely difficult."

Fang Xi frowned.

In the Secret Realm, he had unexpectedly obtained the methods to refine the ’Fortune Worm’ as well as how to upgrade it in the future, which was naturally cause for celebration.

But the terrifying requirements, along with the various spiritual creatures and worms that he had never even heard of, were giving him a headache.

’Be that as it may, just let things take their course without forcing it...’

’A worm is but a tool, if fortune allows, enhance it in the future; if not, then let it be...’

Fang Xi made his decision silently.
