Chapter 987: Chapter 843: Immortal (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)

Whoosh whoosh!

With the Carefree Sky Demon King sealed, the BloodArray that enveloped the outside world crumbled to dust, carried away by the wind.

The originally thick blood fog seemed to have become somewhat thinner.

While Fang Xi was cleaning up the battlefield, his Divine Consciousness swept over the area and a cold smile emerged on his face.

In the distance.

Two Escape Lights suddenly stopped.

"Just now, there must have been an extremely terrifying Divine Consciousness that scanned us..."

A returning-to-emptiness complete elder with black horns on his head looked at a talisman in his hand that was starting to burn, his expression exceptionally ugly, "Based on the reaction of my ’Perception Talisman’, it’s at least a late-stage Integration cultivator!"

"We also sensed something with our Demon Skills earlier, it seems indeed to be this place?"

Another white-haired old woman mumbled, "Carefree Sky Demon King..."

Her expression was tinged with a trace of fear.

"With our level of cultivation, even facing a weakened Carefree Sky Demon King, we would definitely not last more than two moves... Wrath Venerable Demon King had secretly placed a ’Legacy Worm’ on us, merely to use our lives to locate the Carefree Sky Demon King..."

The elder sneered, uttering words that shocked the white-haired old woman.

"How dare you say that? Do you have a death wish?" The white-haired old woman’s face changed drastically.

"Hehe, have you forgotten the Secret Skill I cultivated, fellow daoist? Just add your ’Dust Shawl’ Exotic Treasure... Even cultivators above Integration level will no longer be able to sense us through their stealthy methods," said the elder with black horns, smiling slightly.

"You’re quite shrewd..."

The white-haired old woman glared at the elder with black horns, her expression inadvertently becoming somewhat coquettish, suggesting she must have been a great beauty in her youth.

"However... before that, we might as well inform Wrath Venerable Demon King of this discovery..."

After pondering for a moment, the black-horned elder said something that slightly surprised the white-haired old woman, "In this way... if it really is the Carefree Sky Demon King there, we would have completed our task... If not, we can simply flee for our lives..."

As cultivators who had reached the peak of returning-to-emptiness, why would they actively be cannon fodder for Wrath Venerable Demon King, unless they bumped into an Integration-level being face to face in the Demon Realm territory?

"Your words are most kind, I had not considered it thoroughly before," said the white-haired old woman, smiling and promptly agreeing.

...

"They’ve left?"

As Fang Xi picked up a Demon Banner, his Divine Consciousness swept over it and saw that the two returning-to-emptiness complete Demon Cultivators had left, and he couldn’t be bothered to pursue them.

Although those two great demons cultivated ’Self-transforming Demon True Skills’, now that he had the grand feast of the Carefree Sky Demon King, those two lesser figures paled in comparison.

"Since the Carefree Sky Demon King was hiding here, there should be quite a few treasures left in his dongfu," Fang Xi thought to himself, his eyes lighting up slightly at the memory of the Carefree Sky Demon King’s rich display, casting twelve seventh-grade Magic Treasures with a wave of his hand.

Poor him, even though he had now crafted a Mahayana Level God Path Incarnation, most of his savings still came from scavenging at Falling Sky Island, not comparing to the accumulation of the Carefree Sky Demon King over countless years in the Earth Immortal Realm.

With this thought, he immediately swept his Divine Consciousness, located the dongfu of the Carefree Sky Demon King, and began to attack the several Prohibitions and Arrays guarding the dongfu...

A moment later.

Fang Xi came out with a disgruntled face, "Didn’t leave anything too good... Oh well."

He casually left behind a set of Void Coordinates.

From now on, returning to Blood Peak Mountain would be a mere thought away.

"The job’s done; it’s time to leave."

Just then, Fang Xi felt a surge of late-stage Integration Divine Consciousness sweep over him, brimming with anger and despair as it locked onto him.

"Human Integration... where is the Carefree Sky Demon King?"

A Divine Consciousness Transmission loomed.

Fang Xi responded with his own Divine Consciousness and saw a colossal Spirit Boat surrounded by many Demon Guards.

On the deck of the ship stood a towering demon of the Demon Clan with two heads, four arms, and indigo skin that looked fierce and malevolent.

Upon seeing Fang Xi, all six eyes atop its two heads lit up at once, transforming into a brilliant azure beam of Demon Qi that shot straight at him.

Clearly, the Wrath Venerable Demon King must have found the remnant Demon Qi of the Carefree Sky Demon King in the Void and wanted to eliminate the roots.

"The BloodArray before was actually prepared for you."

Fang Xi, upon seeing this latter-stage Integration demon, suddenly understood many things.

He gauged the Integration demon cultivator’s Divine Consciousness and Magic Power, then compared them with the recent might of the Carefree Sky Demon King, and shook his head, "I ended up taking the bolt for you, otherwise..."

With the cultivation of this demon, had it faced the Carefree Sky Demon King in the Array, it’s likely the outcome wouldn’t have been any better.

Had the Carefree Sky Demon King abdicated his position earlier, there was certainly some other plan at work, or perhaps the injuries from his attempt at Mahayana had not yet fully healed?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it wasn’t proper for Fang Xi to directly use the Treasures of All Heavens to leave, so he discreetly transformed into a blue Escape Light, bursting backwards, "The Carefree Sky Demon King has already left... you’re after the wrong man, sir."

"Enough talk! Were you called upon by the Carefree Sky Demon King as an ally?"

The Wrath Venerable Demon King roared.

How could this human Integration cultivator have discovered the Carefree Sky Demon King’s well-hidden dongfu first?

Unless...

At this thought, its Divine Consciousness locked even more firmly onto Fang Xi. Sudden hand gestures and a third vertical eye on its forehead unleashed two azure flames.

The azure flames burned the Void, forming two thick arrows that instantly shot forth!

"Bringing trouble upon yourself!"

Fang Xi, seeing such a failure to recognize a good deed, grew silently infuriated.

With a chuckle, he opened the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm behind him, revealing a golden hand holding the blue Emperor’s Sword.

The golden palm held a flying sword of Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure caliber, executing a gentle slash!

Within the void, a series of emerald green filaments emerged, shooting violently towards Wrath Venerable Demon King!

Pff!

A scarcely audible sound was heard, and it seemed as if the void itself had been displaced.

The Wrath Venerable Demon King’s Escape Light came to an abrupt halt, his face overtaken by extreme terror. His four arms rapidly formed seals, conjuring a towering demonic effigy behind him.

This demon god stood barefoot upon a white bone lotus platform, wrapped in a tiger skin skirt, and wearing a necklace of skulls. It roared as well, causing a thick layer of Demon Armor to materialize in front of Wrath Venerable Demon King.

Hiss!

The emerald green filaments sliced through the Demon Armor, effortlessly cutting it with a mere flicker.

"Blood Burning Skill!"

Wrath Venerable Demon King bit the tip of his tongue, spitting a mouthful of Essence Blood fiercely into the front void.

The shattered Demon Armor ignited instantly, burning incessantly against the emerald green thread.

But with a flash of green light, the thread passed right through Wrath Venerable Demon King, causing him to howl in pain, as the massive demonic effigy behind him crumbled instantaneously.

"King..."

Only at this point, did the Spirit Boat and a great number of Demon Guards arriving with Escape Light come rushing to the scene, speechless at the sight before them.

"I am alright..."

Wrath Venerable Demon King looked at his own chest.

On his indigo skin, a terrifying sword mark crossed his chest, with drops of Demon Blood seeping out from it.

"Human race... Mahayana?"

"Just now... It was only a lesson and a warning... If the pursuit continues, my death is certain."

Though known as ’Wrath,’ Wrath Venerable Demon King did not allow anger to cloud his judgment.

In the face of death, this Demon King of the Sixth Order sincerely ordered, "Let’s go... We leave this place!"

...

"Not too foolish after all."

Tens of thousands of miles away, Fang Xi’s Divine Consciousness could no longer seFSense Wrath Venerable Demon King and he chuckled softly.

If the other party had continued to chase, Fang Xi would have had no choice but to kill him.

As for the grand scheme of humans and demons, none of that mattered.

After all, for Fang Xi, he himself was the true grand scheme!

Now that he realized no one was following him anymore, he shook his head slightly, activating the Treasures of All Heavens.

In the next instant, amidst a flash of Silver Light, Fang Xi’s figure disappeared from sight.

...

Penglai Fairy Pavilion.

Fang Xi emerged from his long-sealed Dongfu, exhaling a long breath.

"Welcome Supreme Elder’s emergence from retreat!"

Liang Ruolong immediately bowed respectfully, "The junior will inform the sect leader and the elders immediately..."

"You’ve worked hard."

Fang Xi smiled, aware that Penglai Immortal Sect was relying on him at present and could not avoid being deeply concerned.

Having someone stand guard at his doorstep was indeed something he could understand.

With one step, he transformed into a streak of Blue Light and, after wandering around the entrance of Penglai Fairy Pavilion for a while, he flew out of the Immortal Gate, heading for the mortal world.

In several mortal kingdoms, temples had been erected in honor of Fairy Yunxi, with many mortals going there to pray, resulting in bustling activity.

After all, it was widely proclaimed by Penglai Fairy Pavilion that it was Fairy Yunxi’s protection that spared the area from the devastation of alien races.

Fang Xi looked up to see a blazing sun in the sky.

Yes, even though the Earth Immortal Realm had seven days and nine months, within its Array, there was only one day and one moon.

By the time it reached quasi-eighth-order Array status, it had its self-contained cosmos, even capable of simulating the powers of the sun and Tai Yin Moonlight!

Therefore, it could be self-sufficient, without external assistance...

"In reality, it still relies on the outside world. Even a minor world has its foundation in a Medium Thousand Worlds like the Earth Immortal Realm..."

Fang Xi muttered to himself.

To this day, the great war among the myriad races had seen humans change for numerous generations, yet they had not felt any turmoil.

Compared to the devastation of beings in the outside world, they were truly many times more fortunate.

"Sir... you have finally come out of seclusion."

With a flash of Escape Light, the ghostly body of Fairy Yunxi appeared, carrying a hint of Yin quality.

Fang Xi could tell that the woman’s Ghost Cultivation skills had not improved since last time, yet she was surrounded by a dense layer of incense and prayer power.

As soon as she truly converted to God Path, she would be able to advance rapidly!

Apparently, this woman had taken his words to heart to the fullest.

"Fairy Yunxi..."

Fang Xi thought for a moment, then said, "I’ve gained something recently, an Integration Level Ghost Cultivator who can guide you, making it hopeful for you to advance to Integration Level in the future. Are you sure... you still want to follow the God Path?"

During the unification battle on Falling Sky Island, he had collected many ancient texts that even contained descriptions of Immortals.

Beyond the Three Immortals of Heaven, Earth, and Human, ’God Immortals’ and ’Ghost Immortals’ were also conceived.

Unfortunately, it seemed that neither was a particularly good option, and it appeared that the Ghost Cultivation inheritance within the Earth Immortal Realm was deficient, hence no Mahayana Level Ghost Cultivators emerged...
