Chapter 249: All Tricks Revealed
Chapter 249: All Tricks Revealed
"What a powerful Body Cultivator, indeed the cultivation world is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers..."
"They only reveal themselves at critical moments."
Jade Purity transmitted his thoughts to Venom God Son and Blood Essence Master, "Six Divine Infancy Fruits, two already claimed, one with astonishing evasion abilities, and another with an invincible physique... It's likely we can't take them down, which means only four are left."
"Next time, we must truly take action."
"That Body Cultivator is suspicious. I suspect Ten Thousand Phenomena Demon's disappearance is related to this person."
Blood Essence Master's eyes turned solemn.
They all knew that the Lustrous Blessing Land was extremely dangerous, and Ten Thousand Phenomena Demon hadn't come to claim the Divine Infancy Fruits, which meant he was either trapped or dead, the latter being more likely!
However, those from the demonic path were indifferent by nature. The death of Ten Thousand Phenomena Demon had nothing to do with them, even if they sought revenge; it was Ten Thousand Phenomena Sect's own affair.
Furthermore, although two Divine Infancy Fruits had been taken, it also meant two formidable enemies were eliminated, and some of the outstanding Late-stage Core Formation Cultivators were lured away!
"If we take action, who will get the Divine Infancy Fruits?" Blood Essence Master asked another critical question.
"I propose that I withdraw, and I won't compete with you for this one."
Jade Purity smiled slightly, exuding great confidence, "But the one who gets the fruit must provide compensation..."
"Agreed." Venom God Son glanced at Fang Xing's direction, "I want to stay here and witness how that person will cry out in agony... Blood Essence Master, you got a bargain, and you should compensate me with three hundred jin of Purple Venom Eggs..."
"I don't have that many shares, but I can add two pieces of Ten Thousand Blood Stones..." Blood Essence Master transmitted his thoughts with a sullen tone.
"Deal."
...
Soon after.
A unique fragrance filled the air.
The third Divine Infancy Fruit ripened and fell from the branch.
Whoosh!
Numerous escape lights shot into the sky, each displaying their extraordinary abilities.
Having reached the Late-stage Core Formation realm, they could cultivate various secret techniques and esoteric arts from the cultivation world.
Now, in the pursuit of their paths, they were even more ruthless, revealing all their tricks.
Fang Xing witnessed at least three Late-stage Core Formation Cultivators dying unnatural deaths within his sight.
"Tsk tsk... Old Ancestor of Abyss Mountain is almost five hundred years old, and he's still here to compete? With his death, the thousand-year foundation of Abyss Mountain Sect will come to an end..."
Books of a Hundred Secrets nodded and commented while quickly recording, "Is this the Commander's Slaying Immortal Qi? So powerful... This divine ability originally belongs to the Five Cloud Sect's Grand Elder... Back then, Floating Cloud Fairy was abducted by a powerful cultivator and died from excessive cultivation... The murderer used the Commander's Slaying Immortal Qi, and now the case is solved..."
"I always feel..." Fang Xing hesitated to remind him, "If you continue like this, one day you'll be beaten to death..."
"Haha... I have no children or grandchildren, no relatives or friends, and no disciples..."
Books of a Hundred Secrets smiled slightly, "With my lifespan nearing its end, who would bother an old man like me? Moreover... This was revealed by the Five Cloud Sect's Grand Elder himself, and so many people witnessed it. How could they possibly silence everyone? Alas... It's also because Floating Cloud Fairy came from an ordinary background, merely a Core Formation family, and they have been in decline in recent decades. If they had a Nascent Soul Sect backing them, the Five Cloud Sect's Grand Elder wouldn't dare to be so brazen..."
"Oh?"
His eyes lit up, "Both sides of righteousness and evil are going all out!"
"Kill!"
The Late-stage Core Formation Cultivators from both sides worked in perfect harmony, forming arrays together as if they were two camps, blocking the scattered cultivators and family cultivators outside.
In the center was the battlefield of the Ten Sons of Righteous and Evil!
Vajra Master took the lead, with a faint golden bell surrounding his body, covered in various flowing Sanskrit scripts.
The cultivators from Prajna Sect were most adept at dual cultivation of law and body.
He also deployed a Tier 4 Defense Talisman, enhancing his defense to an astonishing level.
Even if he encountered the powerful Body Cultivator from earlier, he might still stand a chance!
Vajra Master pressed his palms together, and suddenly parted them, revealing a golden dragon claw that reached for the Divine Infancy Fruit.
"In your dreams!"
Venom God Son laughed heartily, glancing at Fang Xing who was watching from afar, and secretly hating him. In his hand, a colorful spider appeared, the Near Fourth Stage 'Ten Tribulation Toad'! At this moment, the spider erupted with a terrifying aura of ferocity, and a four-winged silkworm's phantom appeared, chirping and transforming into a golden light that rushed towards Vajra Master.
"Ten Tribulation Toad? Not good... It must have devoured the Five Poisons and the Golden Silkworm, advancing to the Near Fourth Stage Ten Tribulation Toad? Even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to withstand its attack..."
Righteous Vitality's expression changed, and he slowly unfurled a scroll in his hand.
"I excel in cultivating the Vast Righteousness Qi!"
He cultivated a top-tier Confucian art secretly passed down in Profound Heaven Sect, allowing him to cultivate a great divine ability called 'Vast Righteousness Qi'!
This 'Vast Righteousness Qi' could suppress the Five Elements and restrain all things!
It was said that a Grand Confucian at the Nascent Soul stage, with a single roar, could annihilate an entire demonic Nascent Soul sect, and all cultivators with demonic energy would meet their demise!
Righteous Vitality, of course, didn't possess the cultivation level to wield this Vast Righteousness Qi, but the hundreds of years of accumulated Vast Righteousness Qi, with a single roar, caused the surrounding colorful magic lights to dissipate.
Many Late-stage Core Formation Cultivators felt their cultivation energy become sluggish, and they looked at Righteous Vitality in shock.
The golden light transformed from the four-winged silkworm phantom collided with the white Vast Righteousness Qi and instantly scattered.
The four-winged silkworm phantom disappeared without a trace.
But the spider-like Ten Tribulation Toad was incredibly ferocious, and it chirped again, spitting out a scorpion and a gecko...
Countless venomous insects swarmed like a storm, enveloping Vajra Master, gnawing and biting as the golden bell hummed loudly.
"How dare you!"
Hun Yuanzi snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a Five Elements Divine Thunder descended, unleashing a relentless barrage of explosions.
Each bolt of divine thunder carried a terrifying power capable of severely injuring Core Formation Cultivators with ease.
A river of blood appeared, its crimson waters engulfing the heavens and earth. Countless bolts of Five Elements Divine Thunder fell into it, without causing even a single splash.
From within the river of blood, blood demons emerged one after another, roaring ferociously.
"Blood God Banner? Near Fourth Rank?"
Hun Yuanzi unleashed the Five Elements Divine Thunder, transforming it into a Five Elements Light Barrier that surrounded him. His brows furrowed slightly.
The Mystic Artifact of a Near Fourth Rank cultivator was already astonishing, especially in the hands of an Advanced Golden Core cultivator like him, who could unleash most of its power.
For cultivators, the quality of Mystic Artifacts wasn't solely determined by their rank.
For example, the Phoenix Tail Zither, with its high rank, could only be used twice by Mu Qinglan.
It was like a child wielding an oversized axe, more likely to hurt themselves.
However, Xue Yuanzi was a true Immortal Golden Core cultivator and a Late Core Formation expert. His formidable cultivation base, combined with his Blood God Banner's well-matched cultivation technique, allowed him to unleash most of the banner's power.
"You think you're special just because you have a treasure?"
Yan Yanzi scoffed, and a large azure flag appeared in his hand, which he waved vigorously.
Tweet!
A clear bird song echoed.
The spirit patterns on the azure flag shimmered, revealing itself to be a Fourth Rank Spirit Treasure. Countless spirit patterns converged, transforming into a divine blue bird with burning azure feathers like tassels.
"Divine Phoenix? Is that the Furnace Heaven Valley's valley-guarding treasure, the Phoenix Flag?"
Bai Xiaosheng's eyes widened in surprise, "The Phoenix Flag can unleash the Azure Phoenix True Fire, which is incredibly powerful."
Before he could finish speaking, the azure phoenix flapped its wings, and countless Azure Phoenix True Fires fell like meteors, accurately striking the blood demons.
The blood demons had no time to resist and were reduced to wisps of blue smoke without even a cry of agony.
Tweet!
The divine phoenix spread its wings and spewed a ball of azure flame from its beak.
This azure flame, initially only a few feet wide, suddenly drew in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, expanding to a size of several zhang, resembling a blue sun that descended into the sea of blood.
"Damn it!"
Xue Yuanzi was flustered, and a blood-red pill appeared in his hand, which he quickly swallowed.
His cultivation base surged instantly, and his eyes turned bloodshot.
A flying sword slashed through the air with an odd arc, cutting through layers of blood, aiming for his brow. However, a blood claw grabbed it tightly.
The attacker was none other than Fu Hongyi.
Fu Hongyi was confident that with two more strikes, he could sever the blood claw and simultaneously kill Xue Yuanzi.
Although he didn't know why the Ten Thousand Phenomena Demon hadn't shown up this time, these three Advanced Golden Core cultivators from the Demonic Path were all top-notch experts.
They were the perfect opponents for a swordsman like him.
"This time, I'll deal a heavy blow to the Demonic Path!"
Yan Yanzi manipulated the Phoenix Flag, feeling the terrifying consumption of his cultivation base. He took out a bottle of Thousand-Year Stone Milk and took a small sip, sensing the rapid recovery of his cultivation base, and his killing intent surged.
The cultivation base and abilities of these three heroes of the Demonic Path seemed to surpass those of the Five Sons of the Righteous Path.
If it were a one-on-one fight, he might have already been defeated.
He couldn't let this heaven-sent opportunity slip away.
"Now that Blood Sword Master has made his move, as long as Righteous Vitality..."
As he was thinking, Yan Yanzi swept his divine sense and his expression changed abruptly.
In the sky above, beneath a restriction, a black aura was entangled with white light.
This was a fierce battle between Righteous Vitality and Jade Purity.
But at one moment, a terrifying shadow flame ignited on the black aura.
The Vast Righteousness Qi, which had always been effective in suppressing demonic energy, was now being consumed by the shadow flame, retreating step by step.
Righteous Vitality grunted and flew backward for hundreds of zhang, obviously having suffered a minor setback.
"Soul-Devouring Demon Flame!"
He looked at the shadow flame, his eyes filled with apprehension, "I never expected that after so many years, Ziyang Sect would produce someone capable of mastering a Fourth Rank Demon Fire at the Core Formation stage!"
"Not only that, but my Soul-Devouring Demon Flame was specifically cultivated to counter your Vast Righteousness Qi!"
Jade Purity pressed forward, but his heart sighed.
His speculation was correct; after cultivating the Soul-Devouring Demon Flame, he had the strength to defeat Righteous Vitality and claim the title of the number one Core Formation cultivator.
Unfortunately, defeating was easier than killing.
If Ten Thousand Phenomena Demon were here with the Ten Thousand Phenomena Variable Array, he might have been able to kill several of the Five Sons of the Righteous Path, teaching the Righteous Path a severe lesson.
However, he could only settle for second best. With this thought, his gaze turned dark...
...
"Tsk tsk... As expected, the battle between the Ten Sons of Righteous and Evil is a spectacle, each one a hidden dragon or crouching tiger..."
Standing at a distance, Fang Xing watched the spectacle with amazement.
If he hadn't revealed his Nascent Soul cultivation from the start, both the Righteous and Demonic Paths might have joined forces against him.
Seeing these elite cultivators from both paths, each wielding Fourth Rank Spirit Treasures, talismans, and demon fires, he knew that even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would be in trouble if surrounded by them.
To be blunt, Jade Purity's cultivation of this Fourth Rank Demon Fire had given him the ability to threaten a Nascent Soul True Monarch.
Beside him, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't help but nod, his brush moving swiftly as he recorded the events.
Just then, an unexpected change occurred in the battlefield.
