Chapter 981: Chapter 837: Arrival (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)

This Monster Clan patrol team was truly unlucky!

Originally, given their cultivation and equipment, even when facing a human race integrative cultivator, they could hold their ground for a while.

But they met Fang Xi!

His Divine Skill and magic power naturally far surpassed that of an ordinary integrative cultivator, and with the activation of the "Five-color plain cloud flag"—a quasi eighth-order treasure—the annihilation of this entire team was accomplished in just a few moves.

After completing all of this, he immediately pinched a technique with his hands, and flags flew out from his sleeve, merging into the array composed of the Sky Demon’s runes on the opposite side.

Hum hum!

The flags were ablaze with light, suddenly merging into one.

Array patterns flickered, abruptly tearing open a gap in the array.

Through this gap, one could vaguely see the continuous mountainous landscape outside.

"Demon territory... No, an array hidden within the array. If one truly believed the array was breached and exited from this gap, they would likely be walking right into a real trap."

Light flashed in Fang Xi’s eyes continuously.

With his Spiritual Eye Skills already nearing perfection, nourished by the eyes of the Thousand Eyes Bird and the nourishing tea, now he just needed one glance, and a cold smile arose at the corner of his mouth, then with a single swipe of his hand.

The void broke open, a blue short sword about a foot long appeared in his hand.

This was a damaged Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure from Jianzi’s collection.

With a sword in hand, Fang Xi funnelled the Kuyong Skills magic power into it, and made a swift cut forward!

Pfft!

Within the void, strands of silver threads appeared, slicing through the space ahead.

That array, the light screen, and even the void itself... all directly shattered, revealing a pitch-black desert.

Only then, did Fang Xi put away the Immortal Sword, swept his Divine Consciousness around, glanced to the west, and turned into a streak of Escape Light, flying into the desert.

...

In an instant, two streaks of Escape Light came from the west, arriving above the battlefield, transforming into a Monster Clan woman dressed in exquisite black armor and that surnamed Yu integrative Monster cultivator.

"It’s actually..."

The Monster Clan woman looked at the ground full of wounded bodies, her face changing.

From receiving the notification to reinforcing this place, it definitely didn’t take more than the time for three incense sticks to burn.

As a result... this elite Monster Clan squad was entirely wiped out.

With their setup, even if they encountered a seventh-order existence, they wouldn’t be so utterly powerless to fight back.

Moreover, among that squad, there was a junior highly valued by the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.

The Monster Clan woman’s Divine Consciousness meticulously scanned the battlefield, and when she saw a piece of a golden palace, her face couldn’t help changing.

Her eyes flickered, looking at the damaged part of the array, "How did this person know that there was another layer of array behind the array, and that they could directly break through it... Could there be a traitor among us?"

However, the surnamed Yu elder ignored her and kept staring at the damaged part of the array, suddenly mumbling to himself, and then his hands pinched a technique.

Blood radiance emerged within the void, surging toward the breach in the array.

A strange scene ensued!

At the broken spot of the light screen, strands of silver thread suddenly emerged and strangled the blood radiance!

"Power of Rules?!"

Seeing this, the Monster Clan woman’s face truly became pale, "Could this be a Mahayana existence?"

"If it really is Mahayana, would we still be alive?"

The surnamed Yu elder murmured, "But judging by what’s left behind, at least it’s an existence on the level of the Five Sons of Human Race, although we are also seventh order, how much difference is there between us and a great sage of our tribe, there’s no need to say more, right? With such a gap, even if we caught up, it would just be sending ourselves to death... "

"To think there’s an existence at the level of the Five Sons of Human Race, taking the risk of entering the Demon territory..."

The Monster Clan woman gave a wry smile, no longer arguing with the surnamed Yu Monster cultivator, "Could it be... the battle situation has changed?!"

With that thought, the expressions of the two integrative Monster cultivators worsened.

...

Across the desert, a streak of blue light cut through.

Then, a sparkling silver brilliance wrapped around it.

When Fang Xi reappeared, he had assumed the guise of an outsider’s incarnation brimming with demonic intent.

Within the Demon territory, it was naturally more advantageous to appear as a follower of the Heterodox, as the human race stood out too much.

Although it wasn’t impossible for him to convert the Kuyong Skills magic power with "Three Revolutions Nascent Soul Destruction", if he rushed into integration and was sensed by the Carefree Sky Demon King, that could become quite a predicament.

While not a bad tactic for ’luring’ the Carefree Sky Demon King.

But he was already carrying a fragment of the Treasures of All Heavens, which made his location transparent only to Fang Xi, which was somehow better than full transparency.

At this time, within the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.

"Roar roar!"

Daqing revealed its Azure Dragon true form, stepping on a Five-colored Heavenly Phoenix and roaring towards the sky, seeming very proud and content.

During this period, it had completely assimilated ’Life-Determiner Feng Yulei Wei Ling Qiantang Jun’s Godhood Position, then it started to bully all those who had ever bullied it in the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, like Wood Monster and Horned Wood Dragon, even more relentlessly than before.

Now, it was disciplining the Heavenly Phoenix little brother that its master had just sent over.

"A seventh-order... Flood Dragon?"

The Returning to Emptiness Heavenly Phoenix being stepped on by Daqing also had unspeakable sufferings.

"Heavenly Phoenix... I nearly forgot about you, and yet you’ve come here on your own," Fang Xi said as he appeared before the Heavenly Phoenix, smiling faintly.

"Who are you?"

The Five-colored Heavenly Phoenix was even more puzzling, feeling that the aura of this person was very familiar, but it was sure it had never provoked a Human Race integrative cultivator, especially not one as formidable as this.

"Hehe..."

Fang Xi took off the bamboo hat, reverting to his original appearance.

"You are... Dragon Fish Island’s Lord Master?!"

The old Heavenly Phoenix was shocked and then let out a sharp, piercing shriek, "Impossible... You have actually... advanced to Integration?"

"I must also thank Sir for the gift of that Sun Gold Spirit... Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so simple for me to break through to Returning to Emptiness initially."

Fang Xi said with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, the old Heavenly Phoenix felt even more depressed in his heart.

After its ascension and realizing the preciousness of the Sun Gold Spirit, the thought of losing such a treasure from the past made it feel so frustrated it wanted to vomit blood.

Yet, all of this was nothing compared to the shock that the human race Nascent Soul from before had now actually advanced to Integration!

Even though the cultivation speed of the human race was somewhat faster than that of the Monster Clan, it couldn’t possibly be to such an extent, could it?

Or could it be that the human race Nascent Soul from back then was merely an incarnation of a Divine Thought descending from a higher realm?

While the Heavenly Phoenix was filled with doubts and uncertainty, Fang Xi, on the other hand, was somewhat losing interest.

This great enemy of his race from the Lower Realm now seemed no better to him than a ornamental fish he had raised...

"Xiao Qing..."

He called out, and Xiao Qing, who had been nurtured by the heterodox incarnation and had already advanced to the sixth rank early on, flew out, transforming into a charming young girl in green clothes.

In her hand, she was holding a small Mysterious Turtle the size of a palm.

Although the little Mysterious Turtle was also at the sixth rank, it was far too honest in nature and was easily manipulated by Xiao Qing.

Furthermore, Xiao Qing’s innate talent might have been somewhat lacking, but after absorbing the Heavenly Phoenix’s legacy and Essence Blood, she had undergone a transformation.

In Fang Xi’s opinion, she and the little Mysterious Turtle were both quite promising, with great hopes of advancing to the seventh rank in the future.

As for the eighth rank True Spirit?

That was extremely difficult, unless one turned to the God Path; one would have to wait until their God Path incarnation unified the Earth Immortal Realm, achieving the Heavenly Emperor Layout before there was a slight possibility.

"Master..."

Xiao Qing looked at the old Heavenly Phoenix and sneered, "This Heavenly Phoenix is both old and ugly, we might as well just kill it..."

The old Heavenly Phoenix was startled, not expecting that within the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, there could be such a ’traitor’ with such excellent bloodline!

"This bird shall be left for you to deal with."

Fang Xi looked at Xiao Qing, the little Mysterious Turtle, and Daqing... his mind began to ponder.

He had gathered three of the four King Races within the Monster Clan.

If he added a Five Elements Qilin Tribe, it seemed like he could form a ’Four Spirits Battle Array’.

However, whether the array would be a joyous success or a regrettable failure... he was not obsessive-compulsive enough to go out of his way to subdue a Five Elements Qilin Tribe as a small pet.

’Speaking of which... on Falling Sky Island, there aren’t any seventh rank Five Elements Qilin Tribe, but if I search for a sixth rank, there will always be one!’

’As long as I say the word, the Monster Clan would obediently present one, they might even wish to take its place...’

Fang Xi came to the foot of the Dragon Pattern Wall, sat down cross-legged with a slight smile on his lips, and started to comprehend the Dragon Chapter Script and Law of Time.

Ever since his God Path incarnation had received empowerment, his progress on various Rules had been like a day’s journey.

Apart from the Void Laws, which held the top place, now that he was back to comprehend the Dragon Pattern Wall, by contrasting the two, he felt that his understanding of the Law of Time had also started to make leaps and bounds...

...

Demon Clan’s territory.

Clumps of purple flowers bloomed, creating a sea of flowers.

A significant number of Demon Beasts resided, chased, and reproduced on the ground...

The heterodox incarnation rode upon the Demon Light, like a black rainbow, carefully bypassing the Demon Clan’s defenses, penetrating deeper into the territory of the Demon Clan.

"The territory of the Demon Clan is about as large as that of the human race, depending on my own flight at the pinnacle of Returning to Emptiness, if I hurry over, the daylily might have wilted..."

Sensing the direction of the Treasures of All Heavens, Fang Xi made up his mind, "I still need to use a Super Teleportation Array."

This was the trouble of not leaving behind Void Coordinates.

Fortunately, the cultivation at the pinnacle of Returning to Emptiness of the heterodox incarnation was enough to pay the cost of using a Super Teleportation Array in the eyes of outsiders.

And the Demon Cultivator identity wouldn’t attract too much attention.

The black Demon Light continued on its way, and after about ten days, a dark city finally emerged before Fang Xi’s eyes.

He landed in front of the city wall and saw that the security was very tight.

Squads of Demon Guards clad in black armor were constantly patrolling on the city wall.

Various war machines with strange designs stood ready, their Demon runes already filled with power.

’It makes sense... After all, this place is near the front lines.’

Fang Xi arrived at the city gate and discovered that the guards were actually Transcendent God Demon Cultivators!

"Please stop, senior," said a Demon Cultivator with black patterns on his face upon seeing Fang Xi. After a sweep of Divine Consciousness, he immediately became somewhat respectful.

A cultivation at the pinnacle of Returning to Emptiness warranted attention regardless of whether one was from the human, Monster, or Demon race.

After all, there was always the possibility of a successful breakthrough to Integration!

"Oh? Is this city not allowing outsiders in?"

Fang Xi halted his steps, hands clasped behind his back, and asked with some curiosity.

"Currently, the Demon Clan is at war with the Monster Clan and the Alien Alliance... All who enter and leave the city must be guaranteed by the forces here."

The Transcendent God Demon Cultivator’s eyes carried a hint of vigilance.

However, soon after, his expression relaxed, "Senior probably has been in secluded cultivation for a long time and doesn’t know about these changes..."

If he were a spy from the Monster Clan or the Alien Alliance, he would surely already be aware of these matters and would not have come here to be turned away!
