Chapter 993: Chapter 849 Fei Xue

In the Void.

A blue Spirit Boat soared with the wind, travelling at an incredibly fast speed.

"Brother Feng, we were tasked with transporting a batch of supplies to Heaven Origin City... Along the way, it’s largely thanks to Brother Feng’s intervention that we were able to avoid so much trouble..."

The yellow-robed Cultivator speaking had a cultivation around the middle stage of Returning to Emptiness, his face flushed with vitality, exuding an aura of amiability that promised prosperity.

"No problem... After all, I too have received favors from the Black Tortoise Pavilion..."

Brother Feng, dressed in a blue robe, remained vigilant with his Divine Consciousness even as he communicated telepathically: "The journey so far has been smooth, the most dangerous part is when we approach Heaven Origin City..."

’Indeed, recently I heard that our human race and the Monster Clan have been continuously sending elite scouts to engage in deadly skirmishes within a million miles radius... The intensity of the battles even surpasses that of the Three Realms Mountain battlefield of years past, and yet that’s still merely the vanguard.’

The yellow-robed Cultivator’s face was filled with unease, then he continued, "Fortunately, Brother Feng is here to take action..."

This ’Brother Feng,’ Feng Lingzi, was a renowned Cultivator in the stage of Returning to Emptiness, not only had his cultivation reached the complete stage of Returning to Emptiness, but he also wielded a replica of an Immortal Mansion Rare Treasure—’Nine Winds Green Flood Dragon Banner’! He even had a record of escaping from the hands of Integration stage Cultivators!

If not for his age, he would definitely have been one of the prominent figures competing with Jianzi and the Flaming Jade Sect’s Daoist Child back in the day.

Even the Black Tortoise Pavilion had spent a considerable price to win him over.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Feng Lingzi’s expression changed.

"Brother Dao?"

Urgency flashed across the face of the yellow-robed Cultivator from the Black Tortoise Pavilion as an earthy-yellow rounded bowl instantly appeared in his hand.

"No harm done... It’s just a party of Monster Clan scouts! Judging by their cultivation, they’re merely at the Transcendent God and Returning to Emptiness levels."

Although at the same level of Returning to Emptiness, Feng Lingzi spoke with an alarming level of confidence.

It wasn’t long before the Monster Clan scouts appeared. As soon as they spotted the Spirit Boat and swept it with their Divine Consciousness, they didn’t retreat. Instead, they turned into beams of Escape Light, circling and approaching.

"Three late stage Return to Emptiness, and a dozen or so Transcendent God Monster cultivators... Oh? They look like they’ve been specifically trained and understand a bit of the Battle Array Skills?"

Feng Lingzi let out a light chuckle, "It seems I must take action myself, or else if we tarry too long, it could become troublesome..."

Though somewhat proud, Feng Lingzi did not dare to be the slightest bit careless on the battlefield.

As soon as he encountered an enemy, he took immediate action, not daring to linger too long.

Whoosh whoosh!

He extended his right hand, and a blue flag appeared, with myriad winds howling, forming a blue tornado.

Within the hazy light, nine massive Flood Dragons emerged.

Though these creatures resembled Flood Dragons, they all possessed the distinct majesty of True Dragons, swinging their heads and tails as they swept towards the small squad of Monster Clan members.

"Screech!"

A shrill cry rang out as those fifth and sixth stage demons roared, pouring all their Magic Power into an Array Map.

The Array Map immediately revealed a golden Eight Diagrams pattern, turning into eight giant golden doors.

The doors boomed open, unleashing a myriad of beast souls!

Roar roar!

The hazy blue winds swept across the golden doors, producing a grating sound.

On the golden doors, character after character fractured and crumbled...

The multitude of beast souls were devoured by the nine blue Flood Dragons as though they were whales drinking water.

Blue-colored Wind Blades surged forth strikingly, and the golden Array Map suddenly shattered into pieces.

Then, the blue-colored Wind Dragons descended, beginning their slaughter...

Upon witnessing this scene, the Black Tortoise Pavilion’s yellow-robed attendant rejoiced, "Brother Dao is truly extraordinary, being able to kill several cultivators of the same level at once... Even Jianzi, if present, would have to feel inferior, right?"

"There’s still a certain gap between me and Jianzi," replied Feng Lingzi with a slight smile.

After all, no one knew that Jianzi had died; as far as outsiders were concerned, once he emerged from Falling Sky Island, he was almost sure to be an Integration stage Cultivator. That level of face still needed to be given.

"With my Nine Winds Green Flood Dragon Banner in hand, if I encounter the Flaming Jade Sect’s Daoist Child from those days, I could still put up a fight," Feng Lingzi declared.

When it came to the dead, there was no need to be too polite.

The yellow-robed attendant wanted to say a few more words of flattery when suddenly—

A sudden change occurred!

The ground cracked open, and an extremely massive creature emerged, with six white rays protruding like mountains, piercing the sky!

The magic shield of the Spirit Boat couldn’t withstand it for a moment and burst violently.

Then, with a fierce strike, the dark shadow collided!

Aboard the Spirit Boat, the Black Tortoise Pavilion’s yellow-robed attendant only had time to wave his hand, emitting a red light, revealing a reddish-brown turtle shell shield. He also placed the earthy-yellow bowl before himself as a barrier.

Then, he watched as the shield and the bowl cracked inch by inch.

A bitter smile appeared on his face as he saw Feng Lingzi let out a roar, the Green Dragon Banner in his hand radiating with light and enveloping him in a hazy aura. Nine Flood Dragons coiled around him as he was about to employ Wind Escape Skills to flee.

But alas, a white light collided with them.

The nine blue Wind Dragons cried out in agony, fracturing inch by inch, and then it was Feng Lingzi, trying to use a talisman...

’So, you’re just like me...’

The last thought surfaced in the yellow-robed attendant’s mind as his body was brutally smashed to pieces, turning to dust in midair. Not even his Nascent Soul escaped!

After the fall of this Cultivator, the ’Great Void Transposition Talisman’ on Feng Lingzi’s body also exploded, turning him entirely to dust as well...

Crash!

The small-sized flying ship was torn apart, with silver streams dancing chaotically.

Bang bang!

A vast amount of cargo, heavy as mountains, emerged. Among them were boxes of Spirit Stones, various metal minerals, and Ointment Jade Boxes containing millennium spirit herbs...

The quantity and volume exceeded the small-sized flying ship’s carrying capacity and even surpassed that of a common Storage Ring and similar artifacts...

It seemed that there must have been a Heaven Treasure aboard the small ship.

But that collision was just too terrifying; even the Heaven Treasure collapsed directly!

Recently revealed spirit materials are probably less than one-tenth of the total amount, the rest have all been swept into the Void by the Space Time Turbulence...

Just then, invisible ripples spread through the void.

A silver gateway appeared, and through it stepped a veiled woman with deep eyes and an aura as ethereal as that of an orchid, an Integration female cultivator.

Clearly, she had also been inside the Heaven Treasure and even been swept into the Void.

But she managed to return to the Earth Immortal Realm by breaking through the Void.

"Hahaha... Ji Feixue of the Black Tortoise Pavilion, one of the top three Array Grandmasters of the human race!"

A loud laugh rumbled like thunder.

Only now did the shadow that had shattered the Spirit Boat reveal its true form, which turned out to be a Six-tusked Mammoth taller than the mountains!

Its skin was unimaginably thick, engraved with numerous patterns, resembling a natural Spirit armor and even carrying a strange sandalwood fragrance.

"Six-tusked Heaven Elephant?"

"One of the Seven Great Saints, Saint Lu Xing?!"

Ji Feixue’s eyes flickered as array patterns surfaced on her body, astonishingly setting up a temporary teleportation array in the blink of an eye.

But the very next moment, Saint Lu Xing’s massive body disappeared, reappearing in front of Ji Feixue.

A flash of earthy yellow brilliance, and a huge shadow about three meters tall appeared in the spot.

He roared furiously, the sound waves roaring and directly tearing apart the array patterns of the teleportation array.

Then, a sandalwood Muyu appeared in mid-air, emitting a knocking sound.

Ji Feixue’s figure stalled, and her Divine Consciousness seemed momentarily confused.

At that moment, a vast shadow, all black and green and clad in thick leather armor, imposing and taller than herself, appeared before her eyes.

"A Middle Stage of Integration cultivator... worthy of a special trip by me."

Saint Lu Xing’s voice boomed like thunder as he suddenly punched down!

He didn’t use any attacking magic treasures because to him, his physical body and Giant Strength were the best magic treasures!

Boom!

With that punch, the void shattered directly.

No matter the myriad magic power or the numerous Divine Skills... seemed as if they would all be broken by force!

This was the perfect interpretation of ’the force of one overcoming the ten meetings’!

Bang!

When his fist landed, a ribbon magic treasure sparkling with spirit light around Ji Feixue instantly shattered.

Then, her protective spirit light wailed, unable to block in the slightest.

As the woman seemed destined to perish,

One after another, arrays rose from Ji Feixue’s body, all of rank seven!

——’Great Strength Dragon Elephant Vajra Array’!

——’Plate King Nine Dragons Array’!

——’Limitless Rotation Array’!

Three rank seven arrays directly emerged from Ji Feixue’s body and then merged into one.

Various Array Taoist powers were bestowed upon Ji Feixue’s body.

A Yin and Yang Taiji diagram emerged on her body surface, with nine Qiu Dragons entering her arms, her skin shone with golden light, and faint dragon-elephant roars could be heard.

Bang!

Her fingers, as delicate as orchids, pointed out, without a hint of mundanity, like a golden lotus blooming in flames!

One by one, the flame lotus petals blossomed, catching Saint Lu Xing’s ’Forceful Punch’!

Terrifying aftershocks landed on Ji Feixue’s body but were constantly transformed by the rotating Taiji diagram.

"Array infusion? Layered array techniques?"

"Pity... just how many rank seven arrays can your body withstand?"

With a snort of derision from Saint Lu Xing, the phantom of the Six-tusked Mammoth emerged behind him.

The Six-tusked Heaven Elephant, known for its paramount Giant Strength!

One punch came thundering down, striking Ji Feixue once again.

Bang, bang!

Saint Lu Xing’s punches came one after another, clashing with Ji Feixue like two mere mortal warriors.

He kept throwing punches as if intent on beating Ji Feixue to death with his fists.

In reality, Ji Feixue alone knew the suffering.

With each of Saint Lu Xing’s punches, there was also the terrifying erosion and reverberation of magic power, making it difficult for her to mobilize any magic power within her body, forcing her to barely resist with the arrays she had inscribed on herself in advance.

However, this method of ’engraving arrays on the body’, while leveraging heterodox powers to forcibly increase her physical strength to an unbelievable extent, ultimately had a time limit.

Finally!

Crack!

With a roar, a pattern from the ’Plate King Nine Dragons Array’ shattered under Saint Lu Xing’s fist.

Then, like a chain reaction, the entire Great Array collapsed.

The nine Qiu Dragons howled in agony, turning into points of light and dissipating.

Not only that, the collapse of this array directly affected the other two, causing Ji Feixue’s complexion to turn crimson as she was struck by another of Saint Lu Xing’s punches.

Bang!

Amidst a sky full of flying snow, a ’Snow Puppet’ stood in place, taking the fatal blow for Ji Feixue!

Not far away, a flash of white light revealed Ji Feixue’s figure. She looked at the oncoming Saint Lu Xing with an expression of despair on her face...
