Chapter 961: Chapter 817: Wanjun Makes Way (Extra Chapter, Please Subscribe)

Several days later.

Inside a quiet chamber of the Penglai Fairy Pavilion,

Fang Xi exhaled a breath of cyan-infused Nascent Fire that landed on a purple gourd.

This piece of Wooden Element material of the seventh order melted instantly, and streams of purple qi coiled around the surface of the "Two-Five Soul-Cutting Gourds" as Fang Xi used his Divine Thought as a brush, inscribing one intricate pattern after another.

Countless array patterns converged to form a miniature Array that defied simple description.

It seemed to reside on a plane, yet appeared multidimensional, forming a dais that connected the various arrays within the gourd.

"My Array skills have reached the seventh order too..."

A hint of joy flickered across Fang Xi’s face.

Ever since he had combined the Divine Text with the talisman from the Divine Calculator, his progress in the Taoist of Talisman field had been swift—he was already an upper-tier Talisman Master of the seventh order.

Although his advancement in Arrays was slightly slower, he had finally reached the seventh order.

Otherwise, he might not have been able to repair the "Nine Dragons Covering the Sun Remnant Array."

Now, with the capability of a seventh-order Array Master, upgrading the arrays within the yellow gourd and imbuing them into the essence of the purple gourd was a task of utmost ease.

"Now, this ’Two-Five Soul-Cutting Gourd’ counts as top-notch among Integration Treasures... But it still falls short compared to an eighth order Semi-immortal artifact."

That "Two-Five Soul-Cutting Flying Knife" had, as its main material, a piece of an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure contributed by the incarnation of Fu Youzi.

As a fragment, its power was limited, and Fang Xi had refined it in a clever manner.

According to his estimates, reaching the power of an eighth-order Semi-immortal artifact, equivalent to the level of a typical fragmented Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure, was its limit.

Such artificially forged treasures are ultimately not as powerful as life-bound magical artifacts, which can be promoted along with the major realms of cultivation.

The ’Two-Five Soul-Cutting Gourd’ is thus, and the ’Five Fires Seven Birds Fan’ is likewise.

According to Fang Xi’s estimate, as long as he obtained the True Spirit Phoenix Feather from the Divine Calculator and re-refined the treasure, it should not be a big problem to reach the power of an eighth-order Semi-immortal artifact.

After that, there would essentially be no more room for advancement.

In terms of power, it vastly pales in comparison to a genuine Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure-level ’Five Fires Seven Birds Fan’!

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, while playing with the yellow gourd, Fang Xi took out a jade amulet from his bosom.

This jade amulet was emerald green and crystal clear, with nine Flood Dragons faintly visible, winding and swimming within it.

At this moment, in the emerald jade, two red dots suddenly appeared.

"They have finally... arrived?"

Fang Xi left seclusion and saw above the sky a illusory Great Sun gathering, around which nine cloudy dragons were entwined.

Such a spectacle was easy for Immortal Cultivators to grow accustomed to.

When he arrived at the edge of the Array, he found Shui Lingxin, Yunxi, Liu Xu, Lady Baolian... and some of the higher-ups of the Penglai Fairy Pavilion were all present.

They stood within the Array, looking out into the world with very solemn expressions.

Outside in the mid-air, an Alien race army was arrayed densely!

These Aliens were bizarrely shaped; some rode flying war-chariots, others had wings, and some were simply entities of water or fire, quietly floating in mid-air...

In front of the army stood a strange Alien with the body of a human and the head of a rhino.

"Listen, Cultivators inside... Open the Array now, and you can die somewhat less painfully," said a Mahayana Monk of the Moon Watching Clan, narrowing his eyes coldly as he spoke in the language of the human race.

Clearly, the Alien Alliance’s infiltration of the human race had been going on for a long time.

"Die somewhat less painfully? How is that any different from having no chance of survival?" retorted Lady Baolian with a cold laugh.

Below, the faces of the Cultivators were pale as they truly understood what a race war meant!

A race war does not differentiate between good and evil; it never accepts surrender, only complete extermination!

The grudges between the Moon Watching Clan and the human race were deeper than mountains and oceans; even if one surrendered, there was essentially no chance of survival.

Realizing this, every Human Cultivator gripped their magical artifacts even tighter.

"Humph, obstinate fools," sneered the Mahayana Monk of the Moon Watching Clan. With a flicker of light and shadow, he approached the Array and lifted his hand slightly.

Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy roared as the sky seemed to open up, and a terrifying surge of Primordial Energy crashed down like a collapsed dam.

In his hand, a pitch-black bead absorbed the Primordial Energy from Heaven and Earth, expanding and growing incredibly large, transforming into a sphere taller than a small mountain, its surface etched with countless Divine Texts.

A multitude of Divine Texts came together, propelling the black sphere directly into the wall of mist.

Crackle!

Prohibition after prohibition emerged, only to be absorbed and burst by the pitch-black sphere...

"Is that a treasure for breaking Arrays?"

Fang Xi thought of his ’Array-Breaking Cone’ and couldn’t help but reveal an interested look.

However, a mere treasured artifact for breaking arrays might manage to break a common seventh-order Great Array, but it was still too insignificant for an ’almost eighth-order’ Array.

As it penetrated deeper into the fog, one of the cloudy dragons suddenly emerged.

Its maw opened wide, swallowing the pitch-black breaking Array Bead in one gulp!

Symbols flashed upon the Array Bead, bursting with a piercing black radiance like a black porcupine, still attempting to resist.

But the cloudy dragon felt no pain at all and directly suppressed the Array Bead...

Outside the Array.

The face of the Mahayana Monk of the Moon Watching Clan turned pale as he exclaimed, "This isn’t a seventh-order Array?"

"All hail the Supreme Elder!"

Seeing the great array set up by Fang Xi blocking that bizarre attack, Liang Rulong finally took a deep breath, as he had no wish to die in battle here.

"Saying this now is still too early..."

Shui Lingxin looked at the alien race’s army outside, her face brimming with worry.

"Who knows how the alien race has deployed its forces? Recently, how is the situation in each domain of the human race? And the Three Realms Mountain battlefield..."

Fairy Yunxi was equally solemn.

She faintly sensed that the Integration Cultivator outside was not at the early stages of cultivation...

"Wanting to know these pieces of information is actually quite simple."

With a flash of blue light, Fang Xi had already appeared beside the two women, saying with a light chuckle.

"Oh? How is it simple?"

Shui Lingxin’s eyes brightened.

"Capture that Integration Cultivator, question him, and wouldn’t everything become clear?"

Fang Xi pointed at the Moon Watching Clan Integrator, speaking indifferently.

Through Divine Consciousness sensing, he confirmed this alien was a Mid-Stage Integration Cultivator... and moreover, he should have reached the pinnacle of the Mid-Stage of Integration.

In terms of strength, he was even above the Python Peacock Arhat!

"Capture an Integration Cultivator in front of an army of ten thousand?"

Lady Baolian’s eyes widened, almost thinking that Fang Xi was making a joke.

But in the next moment, with a flash of blue light.

Fang Xi had transformed into a streak of blue light and, in the blink of an eye, had left the range of the array, heading straight for the Moon Watching Clan Integrator!

This scene, not to mention the Penglai Fairy Pavilion, even the alien army had not anticipated that Fang Xi would be so bold!

In an instant, Fang Xi came close to the Moon Watching Clan Integrator, extending a single hand.

The Blood Fiend Banner appeared, and a sea of blood descended, enveloping both him and the Moon Watching Clan Integrator.

Thus, the alien race army behind them, worried about injuring the Moon Watching Clan Integrator, could not directly attack this area.

Inside the sea of blood, the Moon Watching Clan Integrator was first shocked and then furious: "A mere existence of the seventh rank lower grade..."

He extended a large hand, and a purple net appeared, with terrifying Demon Fire burning within its grids, falling towards Fang Xi’s head.

Fang Xi’s face wore a faint smile, as he opened a yellow gourd in his hand: "Please turn around, my treasure!"

A gold thread, almost invisible to the naked eye, flashed.

The air of sharpness in the world seemed to have been slightly stirred, condensing an extremely fierce killing intent.

Pop!

With a slight sound, the purple net was unexpectedly slit evenly into two from the center, revealing the Moon Watching Clan Integrator’s stunned and pained expression.

Looking at the rapidly approaching Fang Xi, he showed a cobalt-blue orb in his hand, and within it, the forms of several treasures could be vaguely seen.

Just as he was about to activate this treasure, the Moon Watching Clan Integrator saw the Human Cultivator’s eyes suddenly bursting with about a foot of bluish-yellow radiance.

This light was so hazy that it made him feel as though he had returned to the time right after his birth, looking at the elderly members of his clan who, for the sake of the children, had to be exiled voluntarily, entering the extremely dangerous wilderness...

He seemed to return to his youth when, having cultivated successfully, he was selected to enter the holy land of the Moon Watching Clan, remembering the scene with that Mahayana Monk: "Revenge! Revenge!"

"Ah!"

The Moon Watching Clan Integrator’s eyes turned blood-red, but he found that he did not notice when the Human Cultivator had already reached his side.

Fang Xi was just testing out his ’Kuyong Phantom Eye’ and had never expected its effects to be so excellent.

Looking at the Moon Watching Clan Integrator, Fang Xi’s body surfaced with four-colored armor. His fingers came together, with a faint golden glow flashing over his skin, he swung out a fierce punch.

Bang!

The void seemed as if it exploded, a faint golden punch appeared, falling heavily and causing the Moon Watching Integrator’s Body Shielding Light Cover to shatter with a cry.

"Hmm?"

The Moon Watching Clan Integrator truly panicked now, as this Human Cultivator’s cultivation in the path of body refining seemed to far exceed his imagination!

He let out a fierce howl as several treasures around his body shattered directly, turning into colorful storms, barely managing to extinguish the golden punch’s presence, only to see Fang Xi’s fist following up and striking his chest.

Thump!

Even the Moon Watching Clan, known for their physical strength, was pierced through by Fang Xi’s fist!

From the chest of the alien, a vibrant cobalt-blue Nascent Soul emerged, its face full of panic, trying to flee but was immediately enveloped by a wave of the sea of blood.

Fang Xi’s eyes flickered with alternating blue and yellow hues as he looked towards a place in the void, suddenly smiling slightly as he threw out a stack of talismans from his hand.

These talismans whirled through the air, emitting the terrifying fluctuations of the sixth and seventh tiers.

At their center was, unmistakably, a ’Great Void Transposition Talisman’.

This talisman transformed into a silver-white phoenix, suddenly let out a long cry and flew into the void, forcing out an Integration Cultivator from the Jiu Chi Clan.

"Rise!"

Fang Xi formed a seal with both hands, talisman after talisman flickered with radiance, suddenly forming a Talisman Array that trapped Lian Hongshang within it, with infinite Thunder Light bursting forth immediately.

He took a glance at Lian Hongshang’s position, a hint of regret appearing on his face, then he shook the Blood Fiend Banner.

From within the banner, a savage primeval snake’s Soul Essence burst forth, swallowed the Moon Watching Clan Integrator’s Nascent Soul in one gulp, and retracted back into the fabric of the banner.

Seeing this, Fang Xi unhesitatingly used a ’Great Void Transposition Talisman’.

In a flash of silver light, he returned to the edge of the Great Array and then, with a single swift motion, entered the inner part of the Nine Dragons Eclipse Array.

This array naturally isolated all void transmissions, and direct transmission into the array was not possible.

Although Fang Xi could do it forcefully, it would be somewhat astonishing to the world.

And with his powerful Divine Consciousness, he had long noticed the lurking Lian Hongshang. He knew that without dealing with her, it might be difficult to use void transposition...

Therefore, he kept the ’Great Void Transposition Talisman’ hidden, not using it right away. Waiting until her vigilance slightly relaxed, even preparing to ambush him, he then ferociously struck, immediately outmaneuvering the Integration Cultivator from the Jiu Chi Clan...
