Chapter 213: The Divine Palm
Chapter 213: The Divine Palm
A moment ago.
"Is this the place?"
Fang Xing followed Feng Shushi and several other Core Formation Cultivators who had come to support them later, arriving above a mountain range, each holding a Concealment Talisman.
"Yes, this is the place... Now, Brother Fu is personally taking the risk to lure that female demon over. It's a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!"
Feng Shushi said urgently.
Fang Xing remained silent.
In fact, their True Martial Seven Stars Sword Array had not been fully practiced yet when they received the frontline battle report.
After discussing, the senior cultivators made a quick decision to ambush the female demon and turn the tide of the battle!
Fu Hongyi, who possessed a Fourth Rank Escape Talisman, would act as bait to attract the enemy.
Moreover, Fu Hongyi himself was also a part of the True Martial Seven Stars Sword Array!
"Here they come, prepare to attack."
Feng Shushi attached the talisman to his body, and his figure immediately disappeared into the void, even his spiritual power fluctuations dissipated without a trace.
With Fang Xing's discerning eye, he could tell that this talisman was still of the third-rank level.
It took advantage of the fact that the female demon, despite having Nascent Soul power, had not completely transformed in terms of divine sense and might not be able to detect it.
Before long, Fang Xing, who was hidden, saw Fu Hongyi merging with his sword, charging towards him and the others.
Behind him, a female cultivator in a black robe, with a graceful figure, exuded Nascent Soul power. She had already drawn her bow and fired an arrow!
"Attack!"
Feng Shushi shouted, and the six of them rose into the air, their sword lights blazing.
The six sword lights were chilling and cold, following a specific trajectory, forming a Sword Prison that enveloped the Wind Division Master.
Bang!
The azure arrow landed on the edge of the Sword Prison and was shredded into countless strands of sword light, dissipating into the air.
"This is... a sword array?"
The Wind Division Master immediately recalled the Nine Heavens Azure Dragon Banner, transforming it into nine azure wind serpents that coiled around her: "Heaven Sword Sect's True Martial Seven Stars Sword Array? I've heard that this array is incredibly profound, and even two sword cultivators can form it, but its power will be greatly diminished. If there are three sword cultivators, they can challenge mid-to-late stage Core Formation cultivators... When four or five sword cultivators form the array, even a fully-cultivated Core Formation cultivator will meet their end... Now, there are actually six Core Formation sword cultivators here to kill me. It's truly an honor for me."
"You're wrong, there are seven of us!"
Fu Hongyi returned and swallowed a pill from a jade bottle, his complexion improving significantly, and his spiritual power recovering considerably.
He waved his long sword and entered the True Martial Seven Stars Sword Array.
"Brother, how are you?"
Feng Shushi looked at Fu Hongyi with concern.
"I've lost some vitality... But it's worth it to fight a False Nascent Soul cultivator."
Fu Hongyi appeared very proud: "I'll take the Celestial Pivot position."
"Good, transform!"
Feng Shudi wasted no words, and with a transformation of the sword array, an additional sword light appeared, making the True Martial Seven Stars Sword Array complete. Within the chilling Sword Prison, countless tiny blood-colored sword auras suddenly emerged.
Fang Xing, on the other hand, was honestly cooperating.
As a Foundation Establishment junior, no matter how he was positioned, he would always be at the Shining Light position.
At this moment, he was more interested in observing this sword array.
"Battle arrays are also a type of formation, so they have the ability to trap... The True Martial Seven Stars Sword Array is even more terrifying in this aspect, sealing the heavens and earth with countless sword lights, restricting the Five Elements, and even capable of drawing upon starlight to kill enemies..."
"To set up this sword array, the differentiation of sword lights is just the most basic foundation. One must also possess sword intent and even Core Formation power..."
"The seven major star positions—Celestial Pivot, Celestial Whirl, Celestial Crystal, Celestial Scale, Jade Balance, Open Sun, and Shining Light—are indeed profound..."
Fang Xing could divide his attention to comprehend the sword array, but the Wind Division Master, trapped within the Sword Prison, had a solemn expression.
"Indeed, it's Heaven Sword Sect's supreme array... If seven late-stage Core Formation cultivators joined forces, I could only accept my fate. But you..."
A cold smile appeared on her face as she made intricate hand gestures.
An azure spirit orb, a black token, and a curved hook artifact each burst forth with astonishing brilliance, crashing into various parts of the Sword Prison.
From the spirit orb, a cluster of multicolored runes suddenly erupted, resembling a Banishing Artifact that was most adept at dispelling restrictions.
The black token emitted a large amount of black energy, within which seemed to be countless vengeful ghosts howling for their lives.
The curved hook was incredibly sharp, even surpassing ordinary flying swords.
These three items were treasures that Core Formation cultivators would find difficult to obtain, and now, under the impetus of Nascent Soul power, their might reached their respective limits.
But the next moment, in the void, countless tiny blood-colored swords appeared, as if transforming into countless fine blood threads.
Countless sword threads converged, shredding the azure spirit orb into powder.
Infinite sword Qi erupted, engulfing countless Malevolent Ghosts... Finally, a blade light descended, splitting the black token into two.
Ding ding dang!
The curved hook, transformed into a blade light, crisscrossed with the sword lights in the void, desperately clashing.
But in the end, it let out a mournful cry and broke into two pieces.
Seeing this, the Wind Division Master's expression darkened, and her figure suddenly moved.
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew, and she had already reached the edge of the Sword Prison, with a talisman appearing in her hand.
A drop of essence blood fell onto the talisman, directly activating this high-rank talisman.
"A Fourth Rank Banishing Talisman?!"
A surprised exclamation came from within the Sword Prison, from Wind Shushi.
In an instant, the Fourth Rank Banishing Talisman was triggered, and countless silver streams of light scattered throughout the Sword Prison.
Fang Xing suddenly felt his power become unstable, and then the entire Sword Prison began to shake violently.
It seemed that in the next moment, it would directly collapse!
Although this Fourth Rank Banishing Talisman couldn't break a true Fourth Rank Mountain Defense Array, it was more than enough to harass their ordinary battle formation.
"Steady!"
At the critical moment, a small white sword appeared in Wind Shushi's hand.
An astonishing sword intent erupted from the white sword, instantly stabilizing the North Star Position and quickly restoring stability to the entire Sword Prison.
Moreover, the sharp aura became even stronger than before!
'That's... a Fourth Rank Sword Intent? Whether it's the sealing method or the rare item capable of bearing sword intent, they are both incredibly valuable...'
'As expected, these direct disciples of the Nascent Soul sects, when pushed to the limit, reveal their Fourth Rank foundations...'
Fang Xing sighed inwardly, "I'm still too inexperienced."
"Seven Stars Converge, Kill!"
Fu Hongyi's killing intent was chilling as she gathered seven great sword lights, preparing to utterly annihilate the female demon who had caused the Heaven Sword Sect heavy losses.
The sky darkened, and seven enormous stars appeared in the horizon.
Streams of starlight descended, empowering the array caster.
Fang Xing's rusty sword hummed, unleashing a Late Core Formation-level sword light.
The seven sword lights converged, forming a seven-colored giant sword that could severely injure a Nascent Soul old demon, and it descended with a boom.
At this moment, the Wind Division Master was still suppressed by the Sword Prison, with nowhere to escape.
Whoosh!
The sword light descended, and the nine azure dragons protecting her body cried out mournfully, one by one, before shattering.
A large hole appeared in the Nine Heavens Wind Serpent Banner, and it lost all its spirit light, falling to the ground.
Boom!
Terrifying sword light overflowed, even tearing apart the original Sword Prison, revealing the clear sky once more.
The seven Sword Cultivators panted, gazing at the center of the formation.
Suddenly, their expressions turned extremely ugly.
They saw that where the seven-colored giant sword had struck, a graceful figure was standing.
She held a bronze candle stand in her hand, enveloped in a green glow.
She seemed to be completely unharmed.
"A Spirit Treasure?!"
Fu Hongyi stared at the bronze candle stand in the Wind Division Master's hand, her face filled with gravity.
"What? A Spirit Treasure?"
All the cultivators present were shocked.
In the Immortal Cultivation World, first-rank items were called Magical Tools, used by Qi Condensation Cultivators, while Foundation Establishment Cultivators used second-rank Spirit Tools.
Core Formation Cultivators used Magical Treasures, and Nascent Soul Cultivators used Spirit Treasures!
In reality, the requirements for forming a Spirit Treasure were exceptionally challenging.
Many early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators didn't even possess a Spirit Treasure, and could only barely make do with Supreme Treasures.
Of course, in ancient sects like the Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect, there were definitely a few Spirit Treasures.
But the Demonic Path was selfish and greedy, and even Fu Hongyi hadn't expected that the old demon would give a Spirit Treasure to the Wind Division Master at such a critical moment!
"Let's go!"
Fu Hongyi made a quick decision, knowing that today she couldn't defeat the Wind Division Master, and there was even a risk of being counter-killed.
She formed hand seals, and a Fourth Rank Talisman appeared.
Whoosh!
Fu Hongyi's figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, and in an instant, she appeared several miles away, and after a few more flashes, she completely disappeared.
"A Fourth Rank Escape Talisman, she's really rich."
"This also means... that woman is in great danger now, does Fu Hongyi recognize that Spirit Treasure?"
Fang Xing's sword intent shifted, and he thought of many things.
"Ah!"
At this moment, a miserable scream came from beside him.
A Core Formation Sword Cultivator's body was engulfed in green flames, and even his Core Formation true essence was instantly ignited, turning him into a pile of ashes in an instant!
The Wind Division Master held the bronze candle stand, and a bean-sized flame appeared on it.
She lightly pinched it with her fingers, and the flame fell onto her fingertip.
With a flash of firelight!
Another Sword Cultivator who was escaping with his sword was struck by the green flame, and his entire body cried out in agony, turning into a green torch.
"It's the Azure Sun Demon Flame, run!"
Uncle Feng had already flown far away, but upon seeing this, he let out a strange cry. Biting his tongue, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood, actually using a self-harming secret technique, causing his escape light to be tainted with a hint of blood as he vanished at high speed.
'Transform and advance like the wind...'
Fang Xing merged with his sword and fled into the sky, still grumbling to himself.
But soon, he no longer had the mind for complaints.
Behind him, a faint figure appeared, chasing after him using Wind Escape Technique—it was none other than the Wind Division Master!
"A true disciple of the Heaven Sword Sect? To be able to kill a False Core and an Early Core Formation Sword Cultivator during Foundation Establishment... You won't be let off easily."
The Wind Division Master had already killed four Core Formation Sword Cultivators, even the Outer Hall Elder Zhang had fallen to her hands.
At this moment, she was using Wind Escape Technique to pursue Fang Xing.
Since Fu Hongyi had a Fourth Rank Escape Talisman, she had no chance of catching up to her. The fastest Wind Escape Technique belonged to that Wind-attributed Sword Cultivator, who had long escaped beyond her Divine Sense range.
Now, she could only choose to chase after Fang Xing.
'What terrible luck...'
'I was talking about you.'
As Fang Xing flew, he confirmed that there were no other onlookers in the area.
After all, what he was about to do next was quite extraordinary.
In a picturesque area with lush mountains and clear waters, Fang Xing voluntarily stopped and faced the Wind Division Master, who had just used Wind Escape Technique, appearing as if she had teleported.
"Why aren't you running anymore?"
The Wind Division Master held a bronze lamp, her eyes deep and profound.
After being tricked once, she became much more vigilant, constantly scanning her surroundings with her Divine Sense.
But no matter how many times she checked, there was no sign of anything unusual.
No! Just as this thought arose, a silver light flashed in the void, and a young man suddenly appeared.
"A Fourth Rank Void Attribute Talisman?"
The Wind Division Master was startled, almost ready to flee.
Such a talisman was extremely rare and could even serve as a life-saving trump card for a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
But she soon calmed down, as the person before her was only a Third Rank Upper Grade Physique Cultivator.
There was no mistake in the fluctuations of his power or his aura.
"You are... the 'Fang Yun' from the intelligence report? To use such a precious Void Attribute Talisman to save a descendant, your feelings run deep."
The Wind Division Master smiled slightly, "It's just a pity... that apart from dragging yourself into this, it won't have any effect."
Ever since Fang Xing assisted his cultivation clone in breaking through the Five Elements Sect and killing the Thunder Division Core Formation Cultivator, his information had naturally appeared on the desks of various big shots in the Demonic Path.
After refining the Ghost Infant, the Wind Division Master's cultivation had reached the False Infant stage.
Additionally, with the Spirit Treasure 'Azure Sun Demon Lamp' bestowed by the Supreme Elder, she could even hold her own against a true Nascent Soul Initial Stage Cultivator.
To save someone, the Fang Yun she faced would have to be a Nascent Soul True Monarch! This was naturally impossible.
"It seems that you're unwilling to reconcile, which is truly... exciting. I've been wanting to test out my Great Sun technique."
Fang Xing spoke incomprehensibly, slowly raising his palm.
At his forehead, a Great Sun True Form condensed from the bursting essence energy.
The Great Sun Sacred Relic radiated brilliant light, blooming with dazzling splendor, encircling his body layer upon layer.
The Great Sun Divinity rapidly consumed, causing a golden Buddha to appear at Fang Xing's forehead.
It had Thirty-Two Perfect Features, wore a Multicolored Robe, raised a Golden Arm, and extended Five Fingers Wheel... It was the Great Sun Buddha Form!
Between heaven and earth, a golden Buddha shadow appeared, mimicking the same movements.
The Buddha extended Five Fingers Wheel, transforming into a palm!
Light!
Infinite light shone, as if forming a Bright Mandala Barrier, illuminating the four directions and ten realms!
—Great Sun Buddha Palm!
The Great Sun Buddha Palm, unleashed by consuming the Great Sun Divinity, was an absolute Fourth Rank combat power!
Moreover, it might not be limited to just the Nascent Soul Initial Stage!
Boom!
The Wind Division Master acted swiftly, but no matter how she used Wind Escape, it was as if she was trapped within that palm, unable to escape. She could only exert all her strength and slap her forehead.
Streams of Nascent Soul power frantically infused into the 'Azure Sun Demon Lamp', causing a blue light to shine upon her.
Earlier, she had used the 'Azure Sun Cover' of this Spirit Treasure to block the full force of the True Martial Seven Star Sword Array.
But when faced with that palm strike, the Wind Division Master felt her preparations were far from sufficient!
"A Nascent Soul Mid or Late Stage Great Cultivator?"
"Senior, spare my life!"
The Wind Division Master screamed, her face filled with despair, as she watched the golden giant palm slam down...
