Chapter 308: Pengma Island Lord's Sun-Carrying
"Good, good... I was right about you!"
The Pengma Island Lord laughed heartily, "To be able to withstand a pure physical clash with me, you should be proud..."
His eyes sparkled with determination, and he shouted, "Now, I will unleash my full power!"
A sharp cry pierced the sky, suddenly coming from behind him.
Streaks of ink-like energy shot upwards.
"Demonic aura? It's similar, but not quite..."
Fang Xing's eyes flickered as he witnessed a peculiar Divine Body Incarnation emerge behind the Pengma Island Lord.
This Divine Body Incarnation had an eagle-headed human form with a pair of wings on its back, a truly bizarre appearance.
"It's somewhat like a demonic art, but it also resembles a natural talent of the demon race... No, this is a physical body's innate ability from this world!"
Fang Xing nodded, knowing that even at the late stage of body cultivation, one could still rival cultivators due to the power of their physical body's innate abilities.
Furthermore, he sensed that the Pengma Island Lord's aura was unusual, most likely indicating an extraordinary bloodline.
At that moment, the Divine Body Incarnation let out an eagle's cry, and its claw pressed down.
The surrounding air seemed to compress, pressing towards Fang Xing in the center, giving an inescapable feeling.
Fang Xing's body erupted with golden light, his dragon sinews and tiger bones rumbled, vital energy fog swirled, and his essence energy resembled rising smoke.
He clenched his five fingers into a fist, transforming into a punch, and unleashed the full might of the Star Martial Six Absolutes. The six different forces of strength merged into one.
In the void, a massive fist shadow appeared and clashed with the sharp claws of the eagle-headed human Divine Body Incarnation.
Whoosh!
The wind howled, and a terrifying gust swept across the area.
Many Core Formation Cultivators had already turned solemn, releasing defensive magic treasures to protect themselves.
It was clear that the aftermath of this clash between Nascent Soul Stage cultivators could severely injure or even kill them.
Pfft!
The fist shadow dissipated, and Fang Xing's chest robe tore open, revealing three parallel claw marks.
On his chest, a faint golden light flickered, and beneath the operation of the Unbreakable Golden Elephant King Kong Body, he remained completely unharmed.
However, Fang Xing knew in his heart that he had fallen short.
"The Star Martial Six Absolutes... It's time to enhance them, or else I won't be able to adapt to Nascent Soul level battles."
"But there's still one more Star Martial Six Absolutes technique I can use!"
Fang Xing utilized the Immortal Warrior's characteristic, converting a portion of his vital energy, allowing the Immortal and martial forces to flow together.
In the void, a golden giant hand appeared and took the initiative to attack.
— The One Breath Grand Palm!
Although this hand seal was not as powerful as the Great Sun Buddha's Palm, it could still serve as his regular technique.
Among the Star Martial Six Absolutes, it was the most formidable.
Whoosh!
The golden hand formed a hand seal, and the sound of Buddhist chanting suddenly echoed in the void.
The golden hand seal pressed down, landing on the Pengma Island Lord's Divine Body Incarnation.
The eagle-headed human Divine Body Incarnation was directly shattered!
"What?"
All the watching cultivators, except for Fang Xing's Cultivation Avatar, were left speechless.
Lord Fang Yun, who had fourth-rank middle-grade body cultivation, was already astonishing enough.
What was even more unbelievable was that the Pengma Island Lord had used the Divine Body Incarnation, such a powerful ability, and yet it was still crushed by a single palm strike from his opponent!
Especially those cultivators who had followed the Pengma Island Lord, they were well aware of their lord's strength.
Although he hadn't used any spirit artifacts or spells, the Pengma Island Lord prided himself on his body cultivation.
This... was he being overwhelmed in his area of expertise?
Just then, the Pengma Island Lord roared towards the sky, emitting a piercing eagle's cry.
An aura of an extraordinary great demon emerged, causing all the beasts within a hundred li to tremble in fear.
"Not good... Lord Island Master!"
An elderly cultivator who had accompanied the Pengma Island Lord was horrified, "The Island Master is about to use that one technique... Oh no, with that technique, he can't distinguish friend from foe, and he might even swallow us all... Run!"
"What do you mean by swallowing us all?"
Fang Xing's Cultivation Avatar asked curiously.
Then, he saw a layer of illusory golden feathers appear around the Pengma Island Lord.
On top of his head, the shattered Divine Body Incarnation suddenly recondensed.
No!
The eagle-headed human Divine Body Incarnation let out a long cry, and its wings spread open, transforming into a true giant Peng.
Its entire body was covered in sword-like feathers that shimmered with golden threads, and on its head was a cluster of golden fuzz, resembling burning golden flames.
It was the Golden-winged Great Peng Incarnation!
The Great Peng Incarnation opened its mouth, releasing a powerful suction force.
According to ancient records in the Cultivation World, the Golden-winged Great Peng could soar to the heavens and devour dragons. It was known for its ferocity and appetite for humans. With a single bite, it could swallow an entire city's population.
"A Heaven Devouring Earth Devouring ability? I never expected your Divine Body Incarnation to have such a transformation and powerful innate ability!"
Fang Xing burst into laughter, knowing that the Pengma Island Lord must have a great demon's bloodline, and that this demon was closely related to the legendary Golden-winged Great Peng.
This ability was no longer a physical body's innate ability but an innate talent deeply rooted in the demon's bloodline.
Fang Xing utilized the Immortal Warrior's 'Gathering into Nascent Soul, Scattering into Divine Body' characteristic, and his aura condensed into a Divine Body, blocking it in front of himself.
The terrifying suction force descended, swallowing Fang Xing's Divine Body into its belly.
Fang Xing blinked, feeling that the Pengma Island Lord was truly fearless.
He dared to swallow the Great Sun Bodhimanda Incarnation!
What's the difference between this and swallowing a nuclear bomb?
Boom!
Just as the Golden-winged Great Peng Incarnation swallowed the Great Sun Bodhimanda Incarnation, it turned its head, its Peng eyes filled with ferocity, and looked at the Core Formation Cultivators, about to continue devouring.
Suddenly, its abdomen erupted with a dazzling red light.
The red light continued to condense, and finally exploded with a boom! The Golden-winged Great Peng Incarnation's back burst open, revealing a red sun, exposing Fang Xing's Great Sun Bodhimanda Incarnation.
The Great Sun Bodhimanda sat atop the Golden-winged Great Peng's back, forming a scene of the Pengma Island Lord carrying the sun, leaving an indelible impression on all the Core Formation Cultivators present.
The Pengma Island Lord's face turned pale, and he took a step back, barely managing to suppress his spiritual power and hold down the blood that rose to his throat. Fang Xing spoke, "Island Lord, your skills are impressive. Let's call this a draw, shall we?"
The Golden-winged Great Peng Incarnation and the Great Sun Bodhimanda Incarnation both dissipated.
Finally, the Pengma Island Lord's eyes regained a hint of clarity, and he nodded slightly, "The True Monarch Fang Yun's body refinement divine ability is truly astonishing. I am in awe."
"Haha, the Island Lord's innate divine abilities and physical body techniques are integrated, and they have also broadened my horizons..."
Fang Xing's Cultivation Avatar stepped forward at the right moment, "Island Lord Pengma is too polite. This True Monarch has already instructed people to prepare a banquet. Why don't we proceed there and have a few drinks?"
"Good."
The Pengma Island Lord turned around Fang Xing's original body and said, "With True Monarch Fang Yun here, I believe Mingkun Island will definitely have the strength to guard the Teleportation Array. Let's follow the previous rules..."
In fact, the previous rules were that both sides collected teleportation fees from the cultivators.
And those coming from the outer sea to the inner sea would surely outnumber those returning from the inner sea.
Cultivators, like ordinary people, would naturally migrate to more prosperous places.
Therefore, Southern Flame Gate would actually have to share a portion of the teleportation fees with Pengma Island every year.
If they didn't give it, the Pengma Island Lord would shut down the Teleportation Array or even attack!
But with Fang Xing and 'Fang Yun,' the Pengma Island Lord knew he couldn't win, so he wouldn't dare to take a cut.
This was an indirect concession, after all, as the other party not only had superior strength but also gave him face.
At that moment, the Pengma Island Lord forced a stiff smile and headed to the banquet with Fang Xing.
Leaving behind Xin Nonggui, Hong Wanjin, and others, who looked at each other in surprise.
"True Monarch Fang Yun can actually fight the Pengma Island Lord and not be at a disadvantage?"
Xin Nonggui was the most shocked, muttering, "Apart from the Great True Monarch and the Dragon Seer Transcendent Monarch, who is rarely seen, there's probably no one in the Vast Sea Realm who can stop him."
"It seems we not only have to continue operating the Sea Market but also increase our investment."
Lei Hong spoke thoughtfully, "With the abilities of the two Island Lords, Mingkun Island will surely be more prosperous than when Southern Flame Gate was here!"
In the Cultivation Realm, while it was important to have good business acumen and concepts to manage a Bazaar or even a Immortal City, it wasn't the most crucial factor.
The most important thing was sufficient martial power!
Otherwise, it would be easy for a situation to arise where neighbors stockpile food while you stockpile weapons, and your neighbor becomes your granary...
Fang Xing's strength surpassed that of Southern Flame Gate, so the Sea Market here would undoubtedly attract even more cultivators!
...
Soon.
News spread across the nearby seas that the Southern Brightness Island, no, Mingkun Island, had reopened the Sea Market, and the Teleportation Array was operating as usual.
Along with this, the legend of True Monarch Fang Yun's encounter with the Pengma Island Lord, where neither emerged victorious, also spread.
The once desolate Sea Market immediately became bustling with people again.
Cloudy Sky Island.
A Nascent Soul True Monarch, shrouded in black mist, walked amidst verdant mountains and clear waters.
A jade-like lake shimmered like a mirror, overflowing with astonishing spiritual energy.
Suddenly, the lake began to churn violently, half crimson and half dark white, resembling the Yin-Yang fish of the Taiji diagram.
A vortex appeared, and from it, Jiaoyue Lord slowly emerged.
Her figure was slender, clad in a thin, translucent silk dress, her face flushed with a hint of peach blossom, exuding a sense of fullness and satisfaction.
"Dark River True Monarch."
Jiaoyue Lord spoke, "Your visit here must mean you have news."
"All the information obtained by the Dark Cloud Pavilion is here."
Dark River True Monarch's voice was hoarse as he raised his hand, and a black glow enveloped a jade slip, which fell into Jiaoyue Lord's hands.
Jiaoyue Lord's divine sense swept through it, and she immediately pouted in slight anger, "The information obtained by the Dark Cloud Pavilion seems no different from what my sect has learned..."
"The origins of the two True Monarchs are mysterious, as if they suddenly appeared in the outer sea..."
Dark River True Monarch said, "However, our Dark Cloud Pavilion has already infiltrated those close to them... If you want more, please offer a higher price."
"Hmph..." Jiaoyue Lord coldly humphed, "That person can now rival the Pengma Island Lord, and even if I offer a higher price, do you think the Dark Cloud Pavilion can help me kill him?"
"Hehe, that's not certain. Our Dark Cloud Pavilion's Pavilion Lord is a Great True Monarch."
Dark River True Monarch laughed, "It's just a pity... that you, Jiaoyue, can't afford the price for our Pavilion Lord to take action..."
