Chapter 867: Chapter 747: Two Realms Gate

Moon Invitation Immortal City.

It was impossible for Fang Xi to undergo two Minor Heavenly Tribulations in a row.

Therefore, he arranged for the Wang Family Ancestor to go out for a trip, and upon returning, to reveal his mid-phase Returning to Emptiness cultivation, claiming that he had secretly advanced through tribulation outside.

This once caused Chi Songzi to make a special trip to lodge a complaint, feeling that the Wang Family Ancestor did not trust the Immortal City.

Naturally, Fang Xi repeatedly apologized and managed to hoodwink the other party.

Fortunately, such matters of undergoing tribulation are always privacy concerns for cultivators. Wherever Wang Family Ancestor wished to go was his choice, and anyone who dared to inquire even slightly was regarded as harboring ulterior motives, warranting an immediate confrontation.

Chi Songzi made a few complaints and reminded Fang Xi to be careful of the Kunpeng from the Sky Demon Association when going outdoors, and then let it be.

At the moment, among the branches of the Sky Demon Association in the Star Domain, aside from that Kunpeng, as long as the Wang Family Ancestor did not fall into a trap, the rest of the cultivators, if unable to win, would still be able to escape.

Just like Fairy Chen.

At the same time, Chi Songzi also brought the latest battle reports, providing Fang Xi with quite a bit of information from the battlefield.

Overall, the situation was still quite good.

Especially ’Mr. Che’, who was rumored to have only been seriously injured, made a special appearance once, significantly boosting the morale of the human race allied forces.

And the Monster Clan’s army also hit a tough spot like the Sword Realm, slowing their advance tremendously.

This kind of situation had occurred many times throughout the history of the human race.

Each time the Monster Clan’s army ran out of war potential, and when the human race counterattacked, they would have no choice but to retreat in dejection.

Sometimes, even the Demon Clan would quietly lend a helping hand to the human race...

"Looking at it this way, I can also rest assured and let my heterodox incarnation go mining..."

After sending off Chi Songzi, Fang Xi thought to himself in secret.

That heterodox incarnation had always been in the Sky Brahman Domain, occasionally debating cultivation with Fairy Yunxi or listening to the qin, or enjoying Lady Baolian play the flute, spending his days in utmost comfort.

It was about time to find some tasks for him to do.

...

Just as Fang Xi was at ease and sent his heterodox incarnation to explore the Star Immortal Mansion.

At the border between the Star Domain and the Flowing Spring Domain, within a mountain range dangerous enough to threaten those at the Returning to Emptiness level.

Puff puff!

One after another, hideous crimson vultures fell from midair, each with about the strength of the sixth rank.

The sky, however, was occupied by the true ruler—the Kunpeng.

Only, compared to before, the Kunpeng’s size had reduced considerably, probably using some kind of Divine Skill to adjust its size.

"Tell Steward Peng to kill less... Otherwise, it will leave too big of a mark!"

On the Kunpeng’s back, there were several cultivators hiding within their long robes and hoods, one of whom spoke out.

But the next moment, another mocking female voice arrived, "Now that Steward Peng has advanced to the seventh rank, if it doesn’t return to the Monster Domain, even if assigned as the chief of the Sky Demon Association, it would be qualified. Who would have the right to command it?"

"Previously, those who failed to capture Moon Invitation Immortal City left Steward Peng feeling frustrated. Letting it vent its frustration on these ’Crimson Blood Vultures’ is for the best."

The individual who had spoken before instantly shut their mouth and said no more.

The Kunpeng flew with incredible speed.

Several days later, this group from the Sky Demon Association arrived at a place shrouded in the mist of arrays.

"Steward Peng, Hu, Zuo..."

In this place, numerous figures from the Sky Demon Association had gathered, with the weakest among them at the early Returning to Emptiness stage and many traitorous Spiritual Beasts, each with a physique as large as a mountain and an intimidating presence.

But at that moment, with a glare from the eyes of the Kunpeng, they all became docile immediately.

"Haha, Hu Liuniang... You all are indeed lucky, to have recruited Steward Peng directly. Now that Steward Peng has ascended to the seventh rank, the members from the Sky Demon Association in the Star Domain will surely receive rewards from the association’s leader!"

A svelte woman in green, swaying her hips as she walked over, brightened up upon seeing Steward Peng.

Within her emerald eyes were a pair of vertical pupils characteristic of a serpent, clearly indicating her half-monster bloodline and status as a demon cultivator.

"Liu She..."

Upon seeing this female cultivator, Hu Liuniang merely snorted coldly and did not respond.

However, Liu She went on talking as if to herself, "We all engage in risky trade here... In the past, the association always maintained single-line contact, and at worst, they would lose an undercover member in one domain. Now that the association leader has suddenly summoned us, if their commands and the aura of the artifacts weren’t exactly right, I would’ve really thought the leader had been captured and had sold us out..."

At the mention of this, the surrounding Returning to Emptiness cultivators and Spiritual Beasts couldn’t help but fall silent.

After a long while, a mountain-like three-horned green ram spoke out in an ancient voice, "Now that the human and demon races are at war, the sudden activation of us implies they are preparing for some major action... Hmph, I have risked life and limb for the association over the years; if this mission is too difficult, I’ll simply refuse to undertake it..."

Returning to Emptiness signifies a high level within the Cultivation World.

When faced with many tasks, they have a certain degree of refusal rights.

This three-horned green ram deliberately spoke this way, obviously trying to form some alliances.

Especially with Steward Peng!

After all, the leader of the Sky Demon Association was just an Integration Period cultivator!

"Green Ram! You have quite the audacity..."

Just then, a teasing voice rang out.

This voice echoed back and forth in the mist, seemingly coming from all directions, yet it made it difficult to distinguish between male and female.

"Leader... Leader?"

A trace of fear flashed in the Trihorn’s eyes, then it viciously said, "The assembly had promised me before that I would be sent to the Monster Clan’s territories to proliferate my kind... Yet now, you forcefully retain me without reason. Am I not even allowed to resist?"

While it cried out loudly, it spat out a green bead.

The surface of the bead flashed with light and immediately, a misty green fog emerged, enveloping the entire body of the Trihorn.

It was clear that it knew it had greatly offended the leader, but with all the regional representatives present, if it didn’t seize this godsent opportunity to argue its case, it might end up as cannon fodder in the future!

"Very good, you’re very good!"

The gender-ambiguous voice let out a cold laugh as a buzzing suddenly emerged from within the mist.

A swarm of dark green bugs appeared, dense and numerous, descending onto the misty green fog.

These bugs resembled beetles, and the fierce aura from their shells made even Steward Peng avoid them by a wide margin.

Hiss, hiss!

Countless demon bugs landed on the misty green fog, immediately starting to gnaw at the fog and the radiant light, followed by the green bead and the Trihorn’s screams of agony.

It seemed that all things, both tangible and intangible in the world, could not escape their gnawing.

Eventually, everything in the place where the Trihorn had been vanished without a trace, leaving only a deep pit.

"Is that a Sky Demon Bug?!"

Liu She exclaimed in shock.

"A Sky Demon Bug secret skill? The fabled bugs that can gnaw through an Immortal’s magic body?"

Hu Liuniang also exclaimed in awe.

At this moment, the dark green bugs buzzed and then slowly dissipated into threads.

Clearly, these Sky Demon Bugs were not physical entities, but rather the manifestation of some Cultivation Secret Skills, and their fierceness far exceeded some of the peculiar bugs from the Earth Immortal Realm.

Most of the attendees were Demon Cultivators, naturally recognizing the potency of this secret skill; all were so terrified their faces turned pale.

"Gentlemen... the day of the Sky Demon Association’s mission has arrived."

The gender-ambiguous voice rang out again and in the sky, a person in a green robe appeared out of nowhere.

He wore a bronze mask with deep etchings that extended into two small horns, appearing imposing.

In the eye sockets were a pair of eyes burning with green flames.

"Leader!"

Liu She, Hu Liuniang, and all the Spiritual Beasts bowed their heads in salute.

"In our Monster Clan, we revere the strong and believe in the survival of the fittest. If any of you have objections to my leadership, you only need to defeat me, and I will willingly hand over my position!"

The Sky Demon Association leader scoffed, and a terrifying surge of magic power emerged.

"Integration late stage?"

Hu Liuniang cried out in surprise, seeing even Steward Peng bow his head, his eyes filled with grave solemnity.

"Leader... you’re actually a late-stage great cultivator?"

A nine-headed lion spoke with a voice like thunder from each of its heads, "Had we known earlier, why would we brothers have to suffer the indignity from the Ten Thousand Spirits Sect? We could have simply rebelled against them..."

"My cultivation level has always been top secret, not to be disclosed... However, there are not many restrictions now, and if this great event is a success, the human race will surely be devastated."

The Sky Demon Association leader let out a cold laugh, "That is why I have issued the summoning order, calling upon all members above Returning to Emptiness from within the human race territories... As long as we are successful this time, whether the Sky Demon Association exists or not is irrelevant..."

"The human race has been contending with our clan for many years, with unfathomable depth... how can they be severely damaged?"

Although Liu She was trembling, he couldn’t help but ask.

"At the frontlines of the Sword Realm’s battlefield, it’s heard that our forces have halted... Based on past historical experiences, I’m afraid we might have to be content with the current state."

A huge green python let out a sigh.

"Humph... Our clan has specially enabled a secret weapon this time, no, two of them! You all do not need to make a move against any power, just protect me and enable this secret treasure, and we would consider it a success... Afterwards, immediately return to the Monster Clan’s territory, and there will be generous rewards, I will not go back on my word!"

The Sky Demon Association leader extended his right hand, and in the palm, a bronze door appeared.

On the door, there were strange beast head statues, and seemingly clasped in the mouth of this alien beast was a piece of bronze fragment.

Though both were made of bronze, the aura contained in this fragment far surpassed that of the bronze door.

"This is the ’Two Realms Gate’... Its main body should be a piece of an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure with a strong Void Attribute, which was later obtained by our clan. After scouring for rare materials, it was forged into two ’Two Realms Gates’! This treasure has no other effects, except one... no matter the distance, they can connect to each other! Even the dangerous lands and Interface Power that banish the void in the Earth Immortal Realm cannot stop it... let alone the Great Arrays set up by the human race."

Within the territories of the human race, there are supreme Great Arrays for protection, and during wartime, all teleportation arrays are under strict control, making it impossible to smuggle too many people at once.

But the ’Two Realms Gate’ is different.

This gate can ignore any distance and Prohibition Laws, and even beings of Mahayana True Spirit level can pass through.

Therefore... it is entirely possible to create an army of the Monster Clan in the most vulnerable defense point within the heartland of the human race!

With a pincer attack from within and without, the human race’s allied forces truly could suffer a massive defeat!

"Two Realms Gate?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of many Returning to Emptiness Demon Cultivators showed excitement, "If the other gate of this ’Two Realms Gate’ is in the Monster Clan’s territory, doesn’t that mean once we complete the mission, we can immediately return to the Monster Clan without fearing human retaliation?"
