"This is the Blood Peak Mountain Range?!"

A demonic light, seemingly slow but actually fast, arrived at the outer perimeter of the Blood Peak Mountain Range. Fang Xi looked at the sparse blood mist, his face revealing a hint of excitement.

"Finally... Can I advance to Integration now?"

He didn’t hesitate at all and charged into the mountain range.

The thin fog at the outer edge of the mountain range dissipated upon contact with the demonic light, and was even easily refined by it, unable to affect it in the slightest.

On the ground, a Demon Cultivator at the Core Formation level was picking Spirit Medicine with another Demon Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment level who was a young girl.

Seeing this scene, they were immediately dumbfounded.

"Grandfather... that person..."

This young girl from the Demon Clan was covered in dark scales and had a slightly hooked nose with a peculiar structure inside.

They belonged to a nearby branch of the Demon Clan, known as the ’Ming Demon Clan,’ which naturally had a certain resistance to the blood mist.

Even so, they only dared to venture into the Blood Peak Mountain Range to gather medicinal herbs after practicing special cultivation techniques and preparing a large number of magical artifacts and talismans.

"But that person?"

"That must be an upper-tribe existence of the sixth order..."

Looking at the trail of the demonic light, the Core Formation elder sighed with emotion, "Let’s go back..."

"What, we’re not going to pick the Blood Ling Flower?"

The young girl from the Demon Clan was full of surprise, "We just need to cross three more mountain peaks to get there."

The Blood Ling Flower was the most valuable item on the outer boundaries of the Blood Peak Mountain Range. When combined with other Spirit Medicines, it could be refined into the ’Blood Spirit Pill,’ which was an excellent choice for many blood-path Demon Skills to enhance cultivation.

"No more... Recently, the Blood Peak Mountain Range has become somewhat evil, and it’s said that many grand entities have arrived..."

Grinding his teeth, the Core Formation elder took his granddaughter and started to walk back, "Looking at the situation... if something goes wrong, it might really be catastrophic. It’s better to hide... We must not only go back, but also notify our clan members to be more cautious recently and not to cause trouble for the clan!"

...

Ssss!

Fang Xi, of course, did not care about the thoughts of these insignificant beings.

At this moment, looking at the increasingly dense blood-colored mist ahead, he frowned slightly.

The fog on the outskirts of the Blood Peak Mountain Range was relatively sparse; even a Demon Cultivator of the Foundation Establishment level dared to try their luck if they had certain magical instruments, pills, and talismans.

But after reaching this place, even the magic power of Demon Cultivators at the Returning to Emptiness stage would be continuously consumed.

"Even... does this mist have some effect in obscuring Divine Consciousness?"

Fang Xi smiled slightly, "They have indeed found a good place."

He sensed the position of the fragment of the Treasures of All Heavens and confirmed that it was in the core of the mountain range.

With the quality of the blood mist there, even Integrational Cultivators would be somewhat affected.

"Unfortunately... all these arrangements are of no use to me."

Fang Xi raised his hand, and the Mysterious Dark Banner transformed into a vast expanse of dark sea, enveloping him.

The blood-colored fog met the black sea and directly dissipated, as if eroded by countless black waters.

Rustle, rustle!

The black waters surged, cleansing the blood mist.

Fang Xi entered the core of the Blood Peak Mountain Range and then sped towards the location of the Carefree Sky Demon King.

Before long, he halted his escape light and looked ahead, his face showing a hint of wariness, "An array?"

Up ahead, even though the blood mist was much denser, nothing else seemed out of the ordinary.

But Fang Xi keenly sensed the presence of an array.

"An invisible array... this is interesting."

He chuckled to himself and then with a single hand gesture, made the surging black waters transform into a huge pitch-black dragon that charged into the blood mist with its head thrashing and tail swinging!

...

"Hm?"

In a certain part of the blood mist, inside a cave dwelling.

A purple demon shadow was sitting cross-legged, with a bronze radiance above its head, as if connecting to a myriad of worlds.

Every moment, mysterious auras emerged from the bronze gate of light, infusing into its body.

These were all extremely pure Demon Qi, even the True Demon Qi!

Thanks to this nourishment, the injuries on the purple demon shadow began to heal significantly.

It opened its eyes, revealing the image of a somewhat eccentric middle-aged man in a purple robe.

At this moment, a sardonic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Wrath Venerable Demon King... you think I am gravely injured? In fact, with the aid of this secret treasure, my recovery speed far exceeds your imagination... Now’s the perfect opportunity to suppress you directly..."

Suddenly, the purple-robed middle-aged man seemed to sense something and waved his hand, casting a magic spell.

A red array flag appeared, displaying the image of a black dragon raging fiercely on it.

"Self-transforming Demon True Skills? Full circle of Returning to Emptiness?"

Seeing this scene, the purple-robed middle-aged man’s lips slightly curled into a smile, "Must be the Wrath Venerable Demon King’s subordinates trying to use that secret skill to sense my location?"

"Indeed, it’s a rare supplement. The king will unceremoniously accept it."

The next moment, the purple-robed middle-aged man waved the blood-red array flag, continuously muttering incantations.

Ssss!

Fang Xi suddenly felt the void shift, countless blood-red runes flickering between heaven and earth, turning into numerous Sky Demon Mysterious Seals.

Crackle!

A blood-red lightning bolt struck down, hitting the pitch-black dragon right in the center!

The Mysterious Dark Banner let out a mournful cry, regressing into countless streams of black water, within which the soul of the Poisonous Flood Dragon seemed to have been severely injured!

"This array is somewhat interesting..."

Fang Xi’s eyes flashed continuously, and suddenly he slapped his Storage Bag, bringing forth an ’Array-Breaking Cone’.

Accompanied by his single-handed spellcasting, the Array-Breaking Cone transformed into a sharp gleam and fell into the blood-colored fog.

Crack!

A pale golden radiance exploded, shattering one prohibition after another.

But quickly, more blood-red prohibitions emerged, driving the operation of the array, making its flaws disappear in an instant.

"A treasure for breaking arrays..."

Inside the Dongfu, the middle-aged man in the purple robe sneered, ready to exert effort to deal with this piece on the board, but his expression suddenly changed!

Because he saw the figure raise a hand, releasing talisman after talisman, and they were all various high-level Prohibition-breaking Talismans!

A large number of talisman runes outlined together, seemingly forming a Great Array—a Prohibition-breaking Large Array!

This Great Array had inherent flaws; it exploded as soon as it formed.

But the streams of silver runes were controlled by Fang Xi, like a torrent of silver, crashing onto the array.

Rustle!

The blood-colored fog thinned rapidly, seemingly about to reveal a piece of the void behind it.

"To think he is an Array Master... No, even if he is an Array Master, how could he so easily break this array?"

The middle-aged man in the purple robe hesitated, sensing Fang Xi’s mere Full Circle of Returning to Emptiness cultivation, he ultimately rose up with some interest.

...

"Here he comes!"

Within the array, Fang Xi murmured, a hint of joy flickering across his face.

Then, he moved, transforming into a Thousand Eyes Bird, emitting a long and piercing cry.

On the body of the Thousand Eyes Bird, each eye emitted strange lights.

The many bizarre lights converged, sweeping across a piece of the void.

Two huge Demonic Palms appeared, which Fang Xi shattered with a spray of red light.

The red light retracted, revealing a Divine Infant Sword!

Above the Divine Infant Sword, six trails of Demon Flames burned fiercely, and countless red threads crisscrossed the void, weaving into ancient demon seals.

Ever since his heterodox incarnation advanced to Full Circle of Returning to Emptiness, the innate power of his Divine Infant Sword, his lifeblood flying sword, had been enhanced, and it had now reached the stage of a top-tier sixth level.

Swish!

A streak of red sword light shot forth, carrying the demon will to annihilate everything.

And then... it was clamped between the hands of a middle-aged man in a purple robe.

Crack!

With a flick of his right hand, the streak of red sword light burst apart.

"Little human demon... I admire your courage, daring to break into the Great Array alone to seek this King!"

The Carefree Sky Demon King looked at Fang Xi, a smile flickering across his face.

Now inside his own array and with his Mid-stage Integration cultivation, the fact that he didn’t seriously injure Fang Xi with a single strike was already a testament to the latter’s good fortune.

After all, he had a complete advantage in terms of cultivation techniques and realm.

The demon skills which the other party possessed were passed down by him and could be completely restrained.

In the past, even when his Divine Thought crossed realms to descend, he could easily extract the cultivation, vital energy, and even insights of a demon cultivator...

Now, all he needed to do was beckon lightly, and he could make this human demon cultivator feel the deepest despair!

The Carefree Sky Demon King formed a spell with one hand, and a black seal appeared on his brow, appearing like a seed.

Fang Xi’s expression changed, feeling the ’Self-Transforming Heavenly Sovereign’s True Demon Art of Controlling All Spirits’ which he usually commanded effortlessly, started to backlash against him!

Even all the True Demon Qi gathered, seeking to strip away the essence of the Demon Infant and pour it into the hands of the Carefree Sky Demon King!

’Despite numerous revisions, the essence of these demon skills remains unchanged, and the restraint is too severe.’

He sighed, and a Dragon Chapter Script Talisman flew from his body, flashing with purple light, his previously shriveled demonic body started becoming plump again.

—After multiple contemplations of Dragon Chapter Script and increasingly profound insights into the Path of Light and Time, the ’Recurrence Talisman’ he now created had an instant effect even against Integration, let alone Full Circle of Returning to Emptiness.

"A talisman related to light and time?"

The Carefree Sky Demon King saw this and a sneer appeared on his face: "Even if you can dodge for a moment, can you hide forever... You coveted convenience, cultivated demon skills, and have already fallen into my trap..."

Such a talisman would surely have its limits.

Just wait until the power of the talisman is exhausted, and the demon skills of this person will still be within its grasp!

But at this moment, the Carefree Sky Demon King suddenly discovered he could no longer sense that human demon cultivator.

In a flash of silver light, Fang Xi had already cast his heterodox incarnation to the God Path realm, with the Blood Fiend Banner in his left hand and the Plain Cloud Banner in his right, hanging a yellow-skinned gourd around his waist, he appeared with an elegant float.

Then, the Plain Cloud Banner transformed into five banners, arrayed in five directions, forming huge light doors.

A layer of five-colored clouds appeared, tangling with the blood-colored fog.

The Carefree Sky Demon King suddenly felt the connection between himself and the Great Array set up in this place weakening increasingly.

"Mid-stage Integration... So that was just one of your incarnations!"

The Carefree Sky Demon King looked cautious: "A human Integration Cultivator? Could it be that you were hired by the Wrath Venerable Demon King to make trouble for me?"

"Not at all!"

With the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light Shield floating around Fang Xi, he shook the Blood Fiend Banner, and a Sea of Blood emerged: "If Sir is willing to offer up this body of pure demon skills to complete my heterodox incarnation, we could negotiate!"

The Carefree Sky Demon King laughed with anger, and his eyes surged with demonic light several feet long: "A human at the stage of Integration, you are on a path of self-destruction!"
