Chapter 900: Chapter 765: Little Fox

Seven Treasures Palace.

A fox woman with a delicate face and three fuzzy tails sprouting from her shapely hips arrived at this magnificent palace.

She looked around and saw that the hall was surrounded by layers of prohibition, glowing in a spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. A hint of joy appeared on her face, "No cultivators have arrived yet, excellent... That purple gourd must be mine."

For a top-grade sixth-level member of the Monster Clan, entering the Seven Treasures Secret Realm, the biggest goal was naturally that "Innate One Qi Purple Gourd"!

As long as she could obtain the spiritual essence within that gourd, breaking through the major bottleneck of Integration would be the least of her problems.

As for the Heart Demon Tribulation and the even more terrifying Major Heavenly Tribulation that would follow, she would naturally need to find other solutions.

But without a breakthrough in cultivation, even wanting to face tribulation was impossible!

Her eyes sparkling, the three-tailed fox woman was about to break the prohibition when a hint of suspicion flashed across her face, and she spat out a pink pearl from her cherry lips.

She formed hand seals, and a series of magic spells entered the pearl, causing it to suddenly burst with various colors and rise into the air.

A strange light swept over every corner of the Seven Treasures Palace.

Suddenly, the three-tailed fox woman cried out in shock and anger, "Who dares to take advantage of me?"

She brandished a pink silk handkerchief and, with an incantation, it suddenly grew immense, almost large enough to blot out the sky.

Pure white True Fire descended from the handkerchief.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy converged, making the flames grow massively in an instant, like a pure white sun touching down at a certain spot on the ground.

Splash!

A sea of blood materialized.

A ferocious member of the Demon Clan emerged atop the sea of blood, wielding a blood-colored long banner with just a flick.

With a burst of silver light in the void, invisible ripples spread out.

The pure white sun that touched down on the ripple disappeared in the blink of an eye—astonishingly relocated by an unknown Void Divine Power!

"Ten Thousand Cold Fox Fire? So it’s you, little vixen..."

Black Skull laughed loudly, "Wouldn’t it be better for you to obediently serve as my pathfinder? Why rush towards your death?"

With a magic spell cast, pure white flames appeared out of nowhere in the void, aimed directly at the three-tailed fox woman!

"Demon Black Skull, the Blood Fiend Banner?"

The three-tailed fox woman’s face changed.

She was certainly aware of this notoriously crazy member of the Demon Clan.

She had not expected that his target would also be the "Seven Treasures Palace"!

However, for many cultivators, the Seven Treasures Gourd was indeed their first target, each with its strengths.

She let out a whine, and the phantom of a three-tailed demon fox appeared behind her.

The phantom opened its long narrow mouth, and a mysterious suction force in the void absorbed all the frosty white Ten Thousand Cold Fox Fire.

But at that moment, a figure slowly emerged from the sea of blood, looking like it was made of mercury; it let out a roar, and its body rapidly expanded into a hundred-foot-tall giant in silver armor, its surface inscribed with countless blood runes.

With a roar, a punch heavy as Mount Tai descended!

Puf!

The phantom of the three-tailed demon fox was shattered by the strike, and the fox woman paled as several pink shields manifested in front of her. She turned into a streak of Escape Light, firing rapidly backwards: "Is that... a Water Tribe person? Refined into a Blood Demon Corpse... Black Skull, has your ’Six Corpse Sky Demon Skill’ already reached perfection?"

"Heh heh, knowing this much is good enough..."

Black Skull sneered, "Among my six Sky Demon Corpses, I lack one eye-catching member of the Monster Clan, and you seem quite fitting... With six top-grade sixth-level Sky Demon Corpses, even without that ’Innate One Qi Purple Gourd,’ I’m very confident I’ll advance to Integration!"

His ’Six Corpse Sky Demon Skill’ was also notorious among the Demon Clan and had even leaked to the Lower Realm, giving rise to various bizarre corpse-refining paths of the Demon Path.

The Primitive Devil Door’s Six Desires Mixed Sky Demon had traces of this cultivation technique.

However, practicing this Demon Skill required various ’Devil Corpses’ for assistance, the more exotic and alien, the better.

On Falling Sky Island, Black Skull was in his element, reputed among the Demon Clan as the most likely to advance to Integration!

This time he took advantage of the Secret Realm’s opening to hunt and kill prodigies of other races, intending to refine them into Devil Corpses to fuel his assault on Integration!

Once the three-tailed fox woman understood this, she knew her predicament was beyond salvation today.

In her hand, a crimson pill, pulsating like a heart, appeared; without hesitation, she swallowed it down.

Whoo-whoo!

Vixen stripes suddenly appeared on the three-tailed fox woman’s face, with whiskers emerging and a pair of crimson fox ears sprouting on her head.

Swish swish!

Behind her, three more fox tails materialized out of thin air.

But compared to the original three, they appeared much smaller and carried a more phantom-like quality.

"A six-tailed demon fox, already an entity of Integration within the fox clan..."

"Even if you swallow the Secret Medicine, forcibly stimulating your bloodline’s potential... you can only maintain the bloodline reversion for a mere moment."

"In such a short time, let alone breaking my seventh-order ’Blood Fiend Banner,’ even escaping from my pursuit will be difficult!"

Black Skull let out a hearty laugh, giving the Blood Fiend Banner a shake.

The endless sea of blood engulfed him as a towering banner phantom appeared.

Within that banner phantom, there were five silhouettes, faintly discernible, each emitting the fluctuations of top-grade sixth-level magic power, collectively urging on this Integration treasure!

Clearly, Black Skull’s Six Sky Demon Corpses had found their fifth, which is why he was so fixated on this three-tailed fox woman.

Splash splash!

The phantom of the blood-colored giant banner struck horizontally, fiercely clashing with a six-tailed demon fox.

Although both were mere phantoms, the power they exuded made the ground tremble all around, resembling the prowess of cultivators at the Integration level battling.

Suddenly!

Hei Ku clenched his fists and let out a cold huff.

Upon the Blood Fiend Banner, ancient blood-red runes interspersed with silver Phoenix Seal script emerged.

A storm of silver and crimson instantly enveloped the phantom of the Six-tailed Demon Fox.

"Pfft!"

The three-tailed fox woman’s face turned pale as she spit out a mouthful of essence blood.

Swoosh, swoosh!

In the void, blood-colored chains fell, piercing through her figure.

A faint smile appeared on the lips of the three-tailed fox woman, transforming into a fox’s tail.

Not far off, in the void, a flash of white light revealed a small, fiery red, two-tailed fox emerging, using Escape Light to flee for its life.

"Thinking of leaving?"

Hei Ku sneered and suddenly furrowed his brows.

Deep within the mountains ahead, two Returning to Emptiness presences were rapidly approaching.

With a flash of Escape Light, two figures appeared.

One of them, an elderly man holding prayer beads, had a gentle demeanor that Hei Ku found loathsome at first glance.

The other, a scholar holding ancient books, looked in this direction with surprise.

"Eh? Whose little fox is this?"

Fang Xi laughed heartily and, with a big swoop, easily caught the badly injured two-tailed Demon Fox in his arms, and even plucked a handful of its fur.

One must admit, it felt incredibly smooth and soft, quite pleasing to the touch!

The moment the two-tailed fox wanted to resist, it was overwhelmed by a great force, as if surrounded by impenetrable walls, managing only to whimper pitifully before closing its eyes, resigned to the indignities imposed by the detestable human cultivator...

"That’s mine, no, that prey is for me!"

Hei Ku, manipulating the Blood Fiend Banner, spoke with an unpleasant tone to Fang Xi and Bai Yusheng.

"Eh?"

Fang Xi glanced at Hei Ku, particularly his Blood Fiend Banner, and suddenly laughed, "Sir, that Blood Fiend Banner in your hand looks very familiar, it seems to be mine!"

"Human cultivator... you’ve got some nerve!"

Hei Ku fixed his gaze on Fang Xi, "It seems you’re one of the humans who descended during the last arrival from the Higher Realm, otherwise you wouldn’t dare speak such words before me, Hei Ku..."

Anger filled his heart, and he had already decided to refine these two into Devil Corpses, imprison their Divine Souls, and subject them to every conceivable torment to vent the fury in his heart!

Suddenly, Hei Ku felt his demonic heart pounding wildly, sensing that a life and death crisis was imminent!

Squeak, squeak!

An ominous insect, unnoticed in its approach across the Sea of Blood, now faced him.

It shot toward him like a black arrow, piercing through Hei Ku’s protective Demon Light, its mouthparts ferocious, its fangs snapping shut!

Spurt!

Hei Ku’s head bore a gaping hole, his life force dissipating rapidly, igniting into dark flames.

Within the flames, small Ominous Worm Puppets roamed freely, apparently unharmed by the black fire.

The little fox in Fang Xi’s arms widened its eyes in disbelief.

Could it be that the maniac from the Demon Clan was killed by a mere strike like that?

Upon witnessing this, Fang Xi sighed deeply.

He extended his fingers, and his Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light, mixed with blood runes, suppressed the sea of blood beneath the heavens.

Hisss!

Several Taiyi Green Wood Divine Swords flew out, forming a Sword Array.

Infinite Sword Qi roared, targeting a spot in the void.

With four Sky Demon Corpses manifesting, they joined forces to create a formation.

The aura of a True Demon thundered, vaguely turning into a ferocious Demon Clan figure wearing ox-horned armor, clashing grandly with the Sword Array.

Behind the ferocious Demon Clan’s phantom stood Hei Ku!

"You’ve actually caused me to consume one of my precious lifeblood Demon Corpses!"

He glared at Fang Xi, disbelief and terror in his eyes.

Just before, if he had not used the life-saving secret technique from the ’Six Corpse Sky Demon Skill’ to swap places with one of his lifeblood Demon Corpses, he might have truly died!

Now, looking at the Ominous Worm Puppet, he couldn’t hide the dread in his eyes, "A Seventh-order puppet?"

With that single phrase, Fang Xi confirmed that this member of the Demon Clan knew nothing about the art of puppets, unable to tell the difference between a quasi-seventh-order puppet and a seventh-order one.

However, when creating the Ominous Worm Puppet, Fang Xi had used the Ancestral Demon Tree techniques alongside wooden puppetry, preserving large parts of the worm’s flesh and blood and its innate ferocity, so perhaps it was understandable to be mistaken?

"If you think so, let it be so," he said with a faint smile, holding the little fox with one hand while his other hand’s fingers came together, and the phantoms of the Four Great True Spirits appeared. His arm turned jade-like, and behind him, a hazy giant phantom appeared. He slammed down his fist!

Crack!

The invisible void seemed to flatten like an iron pancake, with a terrifying howling sound shattering the giant demon shadow with the ox-horned helmet.

The Blood Fiend Banner whimpered as it displayed a posture of defeat.

’Impossible!’

The little fox’s eyes widened even further: ’This is the fully realized ’True Body of Sky Demon’... How can a human cultivator possibly perform it?’
