Chapter 783: Chapter 705 Trap (Extra, Please Subscribe)_1

Huff, huff!

Above the nine heavens, the gales were ferocious.

Xiao Qing flapped her wings and flew, resembling an ancient Dapeng grasping a giant elephant.

"Caught a youngling, just perfect for setting a trap to snare those two Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceroses all at once..."

Fang Xi crossed his arms, a trace of coldness flickering across his face.

He certainly hadn’t forgotten that surprise attack from before.

’No, this is for revenge for the thousands of Cultivators who perished in the market town!’ Fang Xi thought to himself.

After flying tens of thousands of miles, Fang Xi found a spot that was extremely suitable for setting up an Array.

It was a mountainous area with towering peaks. As soon as Xiao Qing landed, the strong aura of Wild Beasts from the young Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros caused myriad smaller beasts to scatter and flee in panic...

Before long, within a thousand miles, not a single bird or beast remained.

Fang Xi unfolded his broad sleeve, and Puppet Beasts emerged, each carrying Array Flags and arrangement tools, embedding them atop different peaks.

In truth, he was aware that for the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceroses, the Arrays in the Black Rock Market Town were as easy to break as were they made of paper. His own hastily set-up Array was simply a sitting duck!

However, as an Array Master, it was essential to maintain a sense of ceremony.

And moreover...

The Heterodox Incarnation had never planned to take down the two Primordial Chaos Beasts by himself. His plan had always been to rely on Summoning Skills...

Array was merely a diversion; his true self was the ultimate trump card!

Fang Xi didn’t wait long.

Three days later.

The night sky once again returned to tranquility.

Above the sky, nine moons appeared, each showing different phases such as crescent, gibbous, and full moon.

Streams of cool Moonlight Marrow flowed down.

"Compared to the Mortal World, the strength of the Moonlight here is much denser... If one were to cultivate in the Earth Immortal Realm and draw on the Moonlight, they could progress at an astonishing speed..." Fang Xi murmured to himself as he sipped on Green Bamboo Wine.

At that moment, an urgent cry of a phoenix suddenly came from the sky.

A streak of blue flame, resembling Escape Light, emerged, transforming into Xiao Qing’s figure. She let out a screech, "They’re here!"

It seemed she had suffered a slight setback. She immediately rolled on the ground, transforming into a small blue bird and darting into Fang Xi’s Spirit Beast Bag.

Seeing this, Fang Xi was speechlessly astonished for a long moment.

However, following the quaking of the earth from soft to intense, outside the mountain range, two vast figures gradually emerged from the darkness, moving forward like mountains.

At the core of the Array, a young Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros, bound by numerous dark iron chains and covered in deep wounds oozing blood, let out a cry of joy...

Thump, thump!

Two streaks of Golden Light appeared side by side!

The arrangement tools on each of the mountain peaks exploded with a bang, and countless mists churned, revealing the layered mountains and the figure of Fang Xi!

"Not bad, not bad, these horns are indeed the best material for refining a disposable Array-breaking treasure."

Seeing this, Fang Xi’s face showed delight instead of shock, "This is the perfect opportunity to test the results of the Secret Skills I’ve diligently practiced over the last twenty years!"

"Self-transforming, Item Transforming!"

He formed hand seals, his body emanating a chilling Demon Qi.

Hiss, hiss!

Countless snake-like Demon Qi appeared, stirring the Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, surging into Fang Xi’s body.

A beam of prodigious Demon Light suddenly flashed, almost as if it pierced through heaven and earth.

Hiss, hiss!

Out of nowhere, a python’s hiss resounded through the Void, and a layer of grey-white mist suddenly appeared, enveloping everything in every direction.

Within the grey-white mist, countless human faces were contorting and wailing...

Contagion Qi!

Wherever the Contagion Qi passed, not only the terrain but it also seemed to corrode the Void itself, emitting a wretched sound...

Accompanied by the hissing of snakes, a horrifying Mix Burning Snake, thousands of meters long, appeared, its scales marked with burns like those from a branding iron, emitting a radiant red light. Thick, grey-white mist oozed out from between the scales!

It was a rank-six Primordial Chaos Beast, the Mix Burning Snake!

Its head was terrifyingly formidable, with a massive mouth that seemed capable of swallowing an elephant whole.

Hiss, hiss!

With the hissing sound, the enormous serpent’s body transformed into a long sash, entwining around one of the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceroses.

The incredibly dense Contagion Qi practically became liquid, seeping out from its scales and dripping onto the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros, immediately sizzling and emitting clouds of white smoke.

The naturally tough defenses of a Primordial Chaos Beast were continuously corroded and weakened by the Contagion Qi...

The Mix Burning Snake possessed the ’Mix Snake’ Bloodline, and its most formidable innate Divine Skill was this very Contagion Qi!

Over the past twenty-plus years, Fang Xi had primarily been researching this aspect and had made significant progress.

He has now reached a point where, starting with Gu techniques, Cultivators could cultivate some ’Contagion Bugs,’ thereby mastering a ’Contagion Divine Skill’ that was many times weaker. He named this skill ’Dermatology Skills,’ and with the mindset of using Little Mice to test new Cultivations, he casually handed it over to Liang Ruolong.

It remains to be seen whether this Divine Skill will shine brightly in his hands in the future.

As the great serpent continued to tighten its coils, the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros let out pained cries, visibly bleeding profusely as its flesh and bones were damaged.

The other Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros certainly wouldn’t just watch its partner be strangled to death by the venomous snake. Atop the third, colorful little horn on its head, rays of Radiance converged, targeting the snake’s head, preparing to strike!

Primordial Chaos Beasts have mostly animalistic instincts, but they also possess a degree of bestial intelligence.

Clearly, this Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros knew that a snake’s body is resilient, and attacking the serpent’s body might not be effective.

The key was to strike where it would be most disadvantageous for the enemy to defend!

Bang!

The decision of this Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros couldn’t be said to be wrong, but just as it was about to launch its attack, a streak of Silver Light flashed beside its head. A figure in a green robe appeared, with terrifying Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy stirring, continuously absorbed into a jade hammer.

The jade hammer expanded rapidly, eventually becoming as large as a mountain, with various runes inscribed on its surface.

"Go!"

Accompanied by Fang Xi’s own cold hand-seal.

The massive jade hammer slammed mercilessly onto the chin of another Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros.

Pu!

A stream of five-color Xia Light pierced the heavens and the earth, only to disappear helplessly into the void and the depths of the night...

At the critical moment, the heterodox incarnation still used the summoning skills!

Now that the original body has arrived, finally there were no more concerns.

The Mix Burning Snake, as long as a thousand feet, opened its bloody mouth wide and its poisonous fangs firmly clamped onto the neck of the bound Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros.

Liquid Contagion Qi was continuously injected into the unfortunate Primordial Chaos Beast’s body.

The Primordial Chaos Beast screamed repeatedly, rolling on the ground.

Boom!

A mountain was struck by the massive shadow, suddenly shattered into pieces, with numerous boulders flying in disarray...

Fortunately, the Mix Burning Snake was also a Primordial Chaos Beast, with exceptionally tough skin and flesh. No matter how much the Tri-Horned Rhinoceros struggled, it was firmly bound, with contagion qi’s venom continuously injected...

Swoosh Swoosh!

While the two behemoths were struggling, two streaks of light flew out from the body of the Mix Burning Snake, landing in the hands of Fang Xi himself, turning into one Mysterious Dark Banner and one Divine Infant Sword.

"Sigh... ever since the sixth rank, there have been fewer magical treasures."

The once Multi-Treasure Youth, Fang Xi, sighed and shook the Mysterious Dark Banner in his hand.

Streams of Mysterious Dark Heavy Water appeared, with a Flood Dragon phantom rolling within them, seemingly awakening the ability to control water, transforming into the Nine Nether Underworld River, wanting to submerge the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros on the opposite side...

Clothed in the ’Azure Flame Armor’ and standing on a bronze chariot, Fang Xi operated the ’Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill’, and in an instant, all the Immortal Origin Energy in his body was transformed into True Demon Qi!

’This ’Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill’ is quite shameless... but indeed useful.’

’It’s just difficult to spread... It must be that only adequately high-grade items can be suppressed, otherwise there is a risk of explosion and death.’

’After Returning to Emptiness, Fang Immortal Taoist Master probably relied on the Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure grade ’Fang Immortal Taoist Palace’ to successfully transform...’

If it were those Transcendent Gods from The Nine States, even though the void technology has improved a lot nowadays, and they have the secret methods for refining Cave Heaven treasures brought by Fang Xi from the Minghuan World, after ascending to Returning to Emptiness, the ’Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill’ would probably be completely useless.

At this moment, operating the True Demon Qi and maneuvering the ’Divine Infant Sword’ was even more handy.

"Slash!"

Fang Xi’s expression was icy as he pointed at the Divine Infant Sword.

A huge surge of True Demon Qi poured in, causing the sword to become enormously large; the bloodstains on its surface wriggled, turning into blood-red runes.

Blood-red true flames burned, and strands of red lines penetrated the void.

Bang!

In mid-air, the jade hammer, carrying the might of Mount Tai crashing down, slammed down fiercely once more.

The three horns of the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros flashed with light, desperately resisting.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a crimson giant sword appeared overhead as if teleporting, its enwrapped scarlet flames spreading countless red lines, turning into one sword, and fiercely chopping down!

Splat!

The crimson giant sword directly sliced into the neck of the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros, breaking through the hard exterior, tearing through muscle and bone, causing blood to flow down like a waterfall!

Whirrr!

Taking advantage of this moment, the waters of the Nine Nether Underworld River rose continuously, submerging the four giant feet of the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros.

The Returning to Emptiness Flood Dragon phantom roared excitedly and drilled into the wound of the Yuan Rhinoceros...

Pu Pu!

Fang Xi flicked his fingers continuously, and streaks of green and red Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light flew out, landing on the Divine Infant Sword.

The crimson giant sword thundered, twined with Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light, as if carrying the authority of the nine heavens, slashed down once again!

Boom!

The enormous head of the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros fell with a thunderous crash, gushing blood continuously from the severed neck.

Seeing this, Fang Xi produced a small gray tower in his hand, emanating rays of gray-white light.

Numerous grey-white radiance, like thin threads, penetrated the corpse of the Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros, dragging out the Primordial Chaos Beast’s Essence Soul.

The Devil-locking Tower thundered, locking up this Essence Soul.

The Divine Infant Sword plunged into the corpse and with a flick, retrieved a sixth-rank Inner Core.

"Good..."

Although he already had a sixth-rank Inner Core from the Thousand Claw Beast, Fang Xi’s lips curled slightly upon seeing this Inner Core.

He had previously conceived a recipe for a sixth-rank Spiritual Pill and was lacking suitable test subjects.

Today’s two sixth-rank Primordial Chaos Beast Inner Cores came just in time.

Boom boom boom!

It wasn’t long before another place transmitted the agony of a Tri-Horned Yuan Rhinoceros.

It had clearly suffered broken tendons and bones and died from poisoning!

The heterodox incarnation transformed into a human form, with a cold face, approaching Fang Xi’s original body.

With just a gesture, the Divine Infant Sword and the Mysterious Dark Banner flew back.

"Item Transforming Secret Skills..."

"Just one secret skill has the power to kill a Primordial Chaos Beast."

"This Self-transforming Demon Skills is far more powerful than the usual Demon Skills in the Earth Immortal Realm, is it indeed the legacy of the Sky Demon?"

Fang Xi’s face showed a touch of solemnity.
