Chapter 986: Chapter 842: Nine Character Seal

Boom!

The golden palm embodied supreme and noble pure white aura that tumbled as it suddenly struck down, resembling a pure white sun plummeting from the sky.

Crash!

The silver-white flood was instantly sent flying back, revealing the ’Sky-Sealing Tower’ within, unscathed.

As a rare treasure of the Immortal Mansion, it naturally couldn’t be damaged by ordinary Mahayana Monks.

"Wait... something seems different!"

The Carefree Sky Demon King was surrounded by surging Demon Qi, and a trace of delight suddenly appeared in its eyes, "Beyond Perfect Integration, yet not quite a Mahayana Individual Immortal..."

As a former peak Integration Cultivator and one of the Six Kings of the Demon Clan, its judgment and insight were much sharper than those of any Integration Cultivators from Falling Sky Island, recognizing the true nature of the God Path Incarnation as ’Almost Mahayana.’

And for a powerhouse at the level of the Six Kings of the Demon Clan, even when facing a Mahayana Cultivator, there was still a chance of escape!

"Could it be that such a strong individual exists among the human race?"

The Carefree Sky Demon King took a deep look at Fang Xi, as if to etch the bamboohat-wearing person deeply into its memory.

The ’Sky-Sealing Tower’ returned to its position above its head, casting beams of silver-white radiance.

With a ferocious howl, dozens of Demon Gang Thunder Beads appeared and assaulted Fang Xi and the Divine Hand with a barrage of attacks.

As for itself, it was rapidly retreating, preparing to flee!

What a joke!

Even if the opponent was merely ’Almost Mahayana,’ it was certainly no match for them.

Besides, the opponent was clearly well-prepared and had endless trump cards; staying to fight was seeking death.

"Screech!"

The Carefree Sky Demon King let out a shriek reminiscent of a ferocious bird, arriving before a light door formed by the Five-color Plain Cloud Banner, and then cast a stream of Demon Light.

Within the Demon Light, an array of Array-Breaking Cones, Prohibition-breaking Talismans, and Breaking Array Beads, and other array-breaking treasures continuously appeared, striking the light gate and making it shake violently.

Meanwhile, on the perimeter, an array hidden within a blood fog fully revealed itself, with Sky Demon Mysterious Seals converging and forming into blood lightning that fell from above.

In the pincer attack from inside and out, the five-colored clouds of the Plain Cloud Banner were continuously fading away, with the array close to breaking in an instant!

"Carefree Sky Demon King..."

The Huangquan Ghost Slave let out a blood-curling scream upon seeing this.

It seemed to have been treated as expendable.

When high-ranking Demon Path Cultivators grow ruthless, the choices they make can be cold-blooded and decisive beyond belief.

Even a peak Integration Ghost Slave could be readily abandoned.

Swoosh!

Meanwhile, the God Path Incarnation had already stepped out of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.

The God Path Golden Body suddenly expanded, transforming into a figure dressed in a twelve-section ceremonial robe and the Pingtian Crown, the ’East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor’!

A boot descended from the sky, crushing a skull wreathed in Dusk Essence to bits, and stepping into the earth’s depths.

The gray-white pearl let out a pained wail as cracks even appeared on its surface.

At this moment, the Demon Gang Thunder Beads released by the Carefree Sky Demon King were just about to hit when thunder roared, and pitch-black lightning appeared, with Demon Gang flashing wildly, resembling a dance of Demon Dragons.

The God Path Incarnation’s Evergreen Emperor stretched out both hands.

Above Him, a parasol-like canopy formed.

This canopy had six layers, with the bottommost in profound black, as though merging with the Qi of Earth, followed by white, red, yellow, green, and purple!

Above the purple layer, there was a pure white orb that twinkled like the sun, with countless streamers hanging down, exuding a grandeur that was inviolable by all laws, clearly another powerful Divine Skill of the God Path.

Crackle and pop!

The Demon Gang Thunder Beads hit the six-colored canopy, and those bolts of lightning that could easily incapacitate an Integration Cultivator shattered on impact, only to be dissipated by the six-colored canopy.

Seeing this, the Carefree Sky Demon King grew more desperate and opened its mouth, letting out a stream of Demon Blood that fell upon a pitch-black flying knife.

With a fierce slash, the Five-color Plain Cloud Banner cried out, the light gate shattered in response!

The Sky-Sealing Tower roared, with strands of silver light emerging from its lamps, turning into a massive shield.

The Carefree Sky Demon King’s body emanated blood beads, ready to use its Blood Escape Secret Skills to flee through the broken Array Gate.

Hiss!

Just then, the Carefree Sky Demon King heard the sound of a sword’s wail!

A green Flying Sword suddenly appeared in the hand of that ’East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor,’ expanding to an immense size and transforming into an ’Emperor’s Sword’ in the hands of the God Path Incarnation.

The God Path Incarnation wielded the sword in a strike!

Swoosh, swoosh!

A surge of verdant luminance swept across, the two damaged Immortal Mansion treasures consumed themselves, and the silver shield shattered instantly.

Thereafter, the ’Sky-Sealing Tower’ was propelled far away by the sword’s breath.

Trails of verdant Sword Qi hunted down the Carefree Sky Demon King as if casting a shadow, relentlessly pursuing.

The world turned a shade of jade green, and the Void seemed sealed, causing the Carefree Sky Demon King’s complexion to change again.

It cultivated the force of Void Laws and could feel a powerful Sword Qi that had locked down this space.

With its mastery of the Void, escape was hard to achieve!

"Damn it!"

In a life-and-death crisis, the Carefree Sky Demon King finally used its last trump card.

It slammed its chest fiercely, and around its heavenly spirit, a bronze radiance flowed.

A completely black Nascent Soul came to light.

The Nascent Soul, three feet tall and clad in a fearsome pitch-black Demon Armor, had its scaly armor appear to confine the souls of many Demon Cultivators, showing various contorted faces.

These faces, filled with anger, fear, sorrow, and other emotions, collectively formed a terrifying magic treasure.

If one’s temperament or Divine Consciousness showed even the slightest flaw, they would be counterattacked by this Demon Armor!

This is also a characteristic of the Demon Path’s artifact refining, taking a slanting route to achieve great power. At the same time, it contains great danger.

This Demon Infant was embracing a pitch-black small seal, and on the body of the seal, there was also a piece of bronze embedded.

Above the piece of bronze, light flowed continuously.

Fang Xi strangely felt that the sword energy seal of the Divine Consciousness incarnation was being broken through by a powerful force of Void.

"Actually using the fragment as a life-bound magical artifact for sacrificial refining?"

Seeing the Sky Demon Seal of the Carefree Sky Demon King, he couldn’t help but be slightly surprised, then a cold smile surfaced on his face.

If he was any other Mahayana Individual Immortal facing the Carefree Sky Demon King, perhaps it would truly have escaped.

After all, after borrowing a bit of the power of ’Treasures of All Heavens’, its ability to escape had indeed received a third of the true transmission.

However, it had encountered none other than himself, the wielder of Treasures of All Heavens!

"You’re using what belongs to me as your life-bound magical artifact, just like those Demon Cultivators who cultivated the Self-transforming Demon True Skills, effectively handing over your lifeline to me."

The true form of Fang Xi stood above the head of the Divine Consciousness incarnation, a cold smile on his face as he brought his hands together.

Suddenly!

A Bronze Mirror appeared in the palm of his hand.

The Sky Demon Seal that was about to open a space door let out a wailing cry, and cracks emerged on the body of the seal.

After that, the piece of bronze that was partially embedded in the Sky Demon Seal broke away, turned into a streak of light, and flew into the Bronze Mirror.

The Bronze Mirror was instantly restored, leaving only a small gap.

’I only need one more piece from the Monster Clan!’

Seeing this, Fang Xi couldn’t help feeling overjoyed.

"No!"

Witnessing this scene, the Carefree Sky Demon King fiercely spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. What struck it even more was not the damage to its life-bound magical artifact but that the ’Sky Demon Secret Treasure’ actually left it willingly.

Ever since it realized the uniqueness of this object, it did not only refine it with its fundamental Magic Power every day but also integrated it into its life-bound magical artifact, investing a tremendous amount of effort.

Yet, it never expected that the bronze fragment would directly run off with that human!

At this moment, it seemed to finally understand the feelings of those Demon Cultivators from whose grasp it had snatched Demon Skills!

Whiz!

The Divine Consciousness incarnation didn’t stop, and the emerald sword drew a line.

A verdant thread passed through the Five-colored Ring, and the barriers of the Five Elements crumbled to dust in an instant.

"Even if I die, I will not let you succeed!"

The Carefree Sky Demon King roared, and its Nascent Soul attempted a reckless self-demise.

It was well aware of the fate that awaited it if captured by a cultivator of the same origin Demon Skill.

Unfortunately, Fang Xi was not going to give it that chance.

Whiz!

The green thread directly penetrated into the Carefree Sky Demon King’s body, causing its Magic Power to pause momentarily.

Afterward, it saw Fang Xi’s eyes.

Within those eyes emerged a cyan-yellow light, withering and flourishing in cycles, containing the profound truth of the cycle of life and death.

In that instant, the Carefree Sky Demon King seemed to return to the time when it was but a lowly minor demon of the Demon Clan, struggling every day, engaged in bloody battles...

Until that day when it encountered an inheritance from beyond the skies granting it the ’Self-Transforming Heavenly Sovereign Commanding Ten Thousand Spirits True Demon Skill’, along with that fragment.

Then, the Carefree Sky Demon King saw those indifferent and unfeeling eyes high above, cycling between cyan and yellow.

"Heart Demon..."

It was horrified, and by the time it escaped the illusion of the Heart Demon, it found that Fang Xi had already approached it. Following him closely were strands of the Taiyi Green Wood Divine Light that drilled into its Nascent Soul and demon body, turning into prohibitions.

"Seal!"

The Divine Consciousness incarnation shrunk back to the size of an ordinary person, with one hand forming a seal.

A talisman flew out, which was indeed the life talisman of ’East Imperial Profound Real Infinite Evergreen Emperor’!

This talisman emitted a pure white radiance like a white Great Sun, with auspicious vapors ascending and trapping the Carefree Sky Demon King within.

The pure white vapor condensed into a jade mountain, and atop that mountain, the Divine Text stamped by the Godhood Position formed the ’Facing an armed battle, all arrayed to advance’ Nine-Character Mantra Seal!

Then, the Earth Immortal spiritual realm opened, and the Mother Qi of All Woods further formed chains with wooden patterns all around the jade mountain, enfolding it layer by layer and sending it into the heart of the spiritual realm.

Only after all this was done did Fang Xi exhale and say, "This Carefree Sky Demon King was originally at the peak of Integration. It indeed took some effort to capture it, and the key was that it had to be captured alive. Otherwise, with a swipe of the Supreme Northern Dipper Life-controlling Divine Light, there would have been much less trouble..."

"Fortunately, now that I have this demon in my hands, even if the heretical incarnation advances to the later stages of Integration, it will only take a moment..."

How rich must the reserve be from this Carefree Sky Demon King who had been reaping the cultivation, fate, and all else of the talents from all the outer realms with its Demon Skills?

Even so, it still couldn’t break through the Mahayana threshold?

Fang Xi intuitively felt there was some problem.

Fortunately, the demon king was now in his grasp, and there would be plenty of time in the future to slowly refine it.

At this time, the Divine Consciousness incarnation still held the green short sword, and suddenly pointed at a fractured grayish-white orb, "Where does this ghost slave think he’s running off to?"

"Mercy, great lord... This humble servant is but a mere Ghost Cultivator, forced into obedience under the Carefree Sky Demon King’s prohibitions," said the yellow-robed figure falling out of the dusk essence, continuously bowing, "I beseech you to spare my life, lord. I am willing to serve as a slave and await your commands..."

A peak-level Integration Ghost Cultivator was indeed very valuable.

Upon hearing these words, Fang Xi merely smiled faintly, "But... I have to impose a prohibition on you first. After searching the soul of the Carefree Sky Demon King, I will genuinely release you."

By then, he would surely have to bestow a Godhood Position to this ghost cultivator, taking him as a dog under his control, which would be somewhat reassuring.
