Chapter 366: Liang Xiu's Battle Power

Chapter 366: Liang Xiu's Battle Power



The Sword Realm wasn't particularly large.

At least, with Fang Xing's current divine perception, he could easily envelop it.

Therefore, besides the giant cauldron, he also noticed a corpse at the bottom of the lake beside the Heart Island, already in a state of decay.

A golden-silk jade token lay beside the corpse, its luster long gone.

At the same time, he also saw the ancient demon sealed within the crystal.

A flying sword was embedded in the demon's chest, and its aura was almost that of a genuine sixth-rank sword!

"A sixth-rank flying sword? It's probably the innate flying sword of a Spirit Refinement sword cultivator... Who would leave behind their innate flying sword?"

Xue Laodao's face was filled with astonishment: "Or is it a fifth-rank peak flying sword of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect, which obtained an unfathomable opportunity and barely advanced?"

"It should be the second situation."

Qin Xianzi spoke, her voice crisp.

"The ancient demon... and the 'Seven Star Primordial Sword'?"

Feathers Heavenly Venerable's gaze focused on the bronze giant cauldron: "An immortal mansion treasure and a Divine Transformation Elixir?"

Holding the Nine Profound Demonslaying Sword, he looked at the Array Spirit: "With every minute of delay, the ancient demon becomes more dangerous... Should we take action immediately and slay the ancient demon?"

"Of course..."

Just as the Array Spirit responded, two crimson rays of light lit up within the crystal.

"Not good!"

Shenfu Zunzhe exclaimed, and a talisman in his hand ignited, transforming into a wisp of clear wind that surrounded everyone with a purifying heart-calming aura: "What a formidable ancient demon, its gaze carries a divine perception attack, attempting to lure people into demonic possession. Fortunately, the Grand Master also brought a fifth-rank 'Clear Heart Talisman'!"

Crack!

Crack!

Before Shenfu Zunzhe could finish his proud words, cracks began to appear on the crystal.

Deep, pitch-black demonic energy seeped out from the cracks in the seal, causing flowers to wither and everything in the Sword Realm to decay...

"What a formidable demon, is this the 'True Demon Qi'?"

Fang Xing's main body pinched a wisp of demonic energy, carefully sensing it.

"We're out of time."

The Array Spirit's expression changed: "Sword, come!"

In the sky, countless flying swords swirled, transforming into a vortex of sword qi.

"Qing Dou, Hu Jiao, Zi Lian!"

Three fifth-rank flying swords intersected and fell, piercing the crystal.

Boom!

A violent explosion reverberated.

Countless sword qi surged and pierced the purple-black scales, but they scattered helplessly.

A new ancient demon appeared, its body covered in scales, with disheveled hair, and a single horn.

This ancient demon still had a sword embedded in its chest, yet it remained extremely ferocious. It extended both palms, grabbing the Qing Dou and Hu Jiao, two fifth-rank flying swords, and opened its mouth.

Slash!

A purple tongue covered in barbs, like a steel whip, swept and coiled around the Zi Lian sword.

Terrifying True Demon Qi soared into the sky, almost changing the celestial phenomena, causing dark clouds to gather in the Sword Realm.

"What a formidable true demon... Alas, upon descending to the lower realm, even the Spirit Refinement Masters must fall into the Divine Transformation realm!"

A drop of crimson blood appeared on Shenfu Zunzhe's finger, and he began to draw a blood talisman in the air.

But this time, the talisman he drew was a blood talisman!

"Nine Heaven Demon-Slaying Talisman!"

The blood talisman flew out, instantly invoking the demon-slaying energy of the Nine Heavens, transforming into a dense thunderbolt that smashed down.

Crack!

The dark clouds collapsed, revealing the ancient demon's true body.

Streaks of demon-slaying thunderbolts struck the ancient demon, causing terrifying injuries.

But in the next instant, those injuries swiftly healed, as if it had never been wounded.

"The true demon body, an unbreakable divine ability!"

Xue Laodao sucked in a breath, astonished: "No wonder the ancient great cultivators with divine abilities couldn't kill it, only sealing it... So this demon has already cultivated this true demon body?"

He pinched the sword incantation, revealing himself as a Divine Transformation Sword Lord!

"Draw!"

Xue Laodao shouted, and the peachwood sword emerged like a dragon. In the heavens and earth, there was only a fine strand of sword silk, which dispelled the true demon qi. It was the fifth level of the sword dao, capable of penetrating all dharmas with a single sword!

To be able to display such an ultimate sword technique, it seemed that Xue Laodao was the one with the highest cultivation among the three Divine Transformation cultivators.

The fifth-rank peachwood flying sword, filled with demon-subduing and demon-slaying abilities, once again heavily slashed at the ancient demon, slicing off a few scales.

However, the sword marks quickly faded and disappeared...

"My sword, which can penetrate all dharmas, can't even break through this unbreakable divine ability?"

Xue Laodao was extremely surprised.

Fang Xing, however, maintained his composure, knowing that no matter how good a divine ability was, it still depended on cultivation and realm...

Even the monstrous Yuan Ying True Monarch, capable of penetrating all dharmas with a single sword, might not be able to break through the casual spells of a Spirit Refinement Master...

This ancient demon was undoubtedly a former Spirit Refinement existence, but its cultivation and realm had declined, though its vision and experience remained.

It could be considered a truly exceptional figure in the cultivation world.

If it could be easily slain by the sword that could penetrate all dharmas, the Primordial Soul Sword Sect wouldn't have been destroyed.

Just then!

A beam of sword light appeared, revealing the Nine Profound Demonslaying Sword!

"The Demonslaying Sword?"

The ancient demon's divine perception stirred, and it also used the language of the cultivation world.

Its figure suddenly became illusory, and as it retreated, nine demon bodies appeared simultaneously.

"Obviously, he's wary of the Nine Profound Demonslaying Sword and dares not directly confront it with his true demon body."

"Sever!"

Feathers Heavenly Venerable's expression turned solemn, his lips murmuring as silver seal script appeared in his eyes, transforming into two strange rays of light.

On the square body of the Nine Profound Demonslaying Sword, seal scripts lit up one after another, piercing into the void beside it.

Pfft!

The nine demon shadows instantly dissipated, and a few drops of true demon blood fell from the void.

"Good sword technique, good sword artifact..."

The Ancient Demon's deep divine perception voice echoed, and a purple light suddenly escaped from its tongue, revealing the Purple Refining Sword! On the Ancient Demon's tongue, which resembled a steel whip, there was a sword scar that was constantly seeping fresh blood.

Although there was a layer of demonic light at the wound, trying to heal it, the process was slow, indicating that it was being suppressed by some kind of restraint.

"Sword, come!"

Amidst the array spirit's furious roar, the two fifth-rank flying swords in the Ancient Demon's hands struggled violently, finally transforming into two pillars of light and escaping, joining the Purple Refining Sword to form the Three Talents Sword Array.

"From the Dao, one is born; from one, two; from two, three; and from three, myriad things are born!"

The array spirit muttered, and the river of sword qi reappeared. Within the Three Talents Sword Array, the three fifth-rank flying swords flickered, transforming into countless sword shadows, as if ten thousand swords were unleashed, slamming down with a mighty force!

Feathers Heavenly Venerable's youth was about to make another move when his divine perception stirred, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

How swift were the thoughts of a Divine Transformation Venerable?

The previous exchanges had been so rapid that they seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.

The bronze vast cauldron that the Ancient Demon had flung aside when breaking free of its seal and the Divine Transformation Elixir were still suspended in mid-air, yet to fall!

But at that moment, two figures flickered.

It was Fang Xing's true self who took action, grabbing the bronze vast cauldron.

His Immortal cultivation clone drew his sword, intending to seize the Divine Transformation Elixir.

Clang!

A zither note suddenly sounded, and a layer of illusion enveloped them.

Fang Xing's Immortal cultivation clone chuckled and, with a flash of sword light, sliced through the illusion.

"One Sword Penetrating All Dharmas?"

Qin Xianzi held the silver Divine Transformation Elixir in her hand, slightly surprised.

"You guys... you've gone too far!"

Shenfu Zunzhe let out a cold harrumph. "With the Ancient Demon right before us, you're still doing such things! You're not even worthy to be called humans!"

"Hehe..."

Fang Xing shook his head. "I'm a man of my word. Since I said I'd help deal with the Ancient Demon, I will deal with it... But I just don't trust you."

These Immortal cultivators, who claimed to be allies, were more like potential enemies who could stab you in the back at any moment!

Their bottom lines were too flexible!

Therefore, Fang Xing chose to have no bottom line!

As he spoke, a talisman and a sword light were already approaching.

Fang Xing raised his hand, and the Great Sun Buddha's image appeared, forming the Sun Wheel Seal. The Great Sun Realm expanded outward, enveloping his Immortal cultivation clone.

Then...

A flash of silver light, and both he and his Immortal cultivation clone disappeared.

"How is this possible?"

For the first time, the youthful Feathers Heavenly Venerable lost his composure. "Such a high-level void teleportation... Array Spirit, did you deliberately let them escape?"

In the near sixth-rank Slaughter God Annihilate Demon Sword Formation, Feathers Heavenly Venerable couldn't believe that a fifth-rank body cultivator could directly teleport through the void.

Even with a high-level void talisman, it shouldn't be possible!

"Immortal Mansion Treasure?"

In the next instant, the Ancient Demon roared, gazing at the void where Fang Xing had left, its eyes filled with bloodlust. "You... You should die!"

It suddenly let out a roar.

Within that roar, countless complex and incomprehensible Ancient Demon languages overlapped, forming sentence after sentence of incantations.

Behind the Ancient Demon, the void flickered into view, and strands of true demon qi shot forth from the layers of void!

"Spirit Refinement!"

"Drawing true demon qi directly from the Great Void!"

"Be careful. This demon was once a Spirit Refinement Master and retained some of its divine abilities... It can't maintain this Spirit Refinement divine ability for long..."

In the next instant, a terrifying demonic light filled the sky and shattered the Sword Realm...

...

Main Universe.

"Black Death God Unit, activate!"

Fang Xing's true self arrived at the factory and entered the Black Death God Unit.

Swish!

Nerve bundles connected with him, followed by... a horrifying pollution!

This pollution came from both will and flesh!

"Martial God-class battle armor, truly extraordinary..."

Fang Xing sighed silently.

His will had already condensed into the Great Sun Divine Essence, impervious to all evil.

And his body, tempered by the Nine Source Star Body Forging Secret Technique, had reached the proficient stage, comparable to a Martial God!

With a Martial God-class will and a Martial God-class physique, Fang Xing's mind's eye revolved with the Great Sun Divine Essence, and his will permeated every inch of his body.

"My heart is like the blazing sun, and my body is like eternity!"

Suddenly, a realization dawned in his mind. The Martial Dao Will Secret Pattern 'Nameless Chart,' which he had already comprehended, advanced to the Master Rank at this moment!

An immense and majestic will soared into the sky, transforming into intricate and complex Martial Dao Will Secret Patterns, perfectly fusing with the Black Death God Unit.

At this moment, Fang Xing raised his palm and discovered that he had become the Black Death God, with immense power manifesting throughout his body!

"It's time to go!"

Behind the Black Death God Unit's battle armor, countless white bones pierced through the deck, constantly growing... transforming into a pair of bone wings!

With a gentle flap of the bone wings, he broke through the factory's defenses and arrived in the atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, the satellite completely vanished without a trace.

...

The Cultivation World.

The Yuan Shen Sword Sect's Mountain Gate.

Inside the 'Slaughter God Annihilate Demon Sword Formation'.

A flash of silver light.

Fang Xing appeared, riding the Black Death God Unit, his Martial Dao Will surging with overwhelming might, seeing through everything.

Outside the Yuan Shen Sword Sect, the Yuan Ying True Monarchs scattered like quails, some scavenging for treasures, while others fled in an attempt to escape this world-devastating battle.

"The Sword Realm... has disappeared."

Fang Xing murmured, gazing at the central battlefield.

Feathers Heavenly Venerable, wielding the Nine Profound Demonslaying Sword, was enveloped in countless talismans, battling alongside the array spirits against the Ancient Demon.

However, behind the Ancient Demon, the Great Void shattered, transforming into an unfathomable black hole.

From within the black hole, an endless stream of True Demon Qi gushed forth, pouring into the Ancient Demon's body.

The other three Divine Transformation Cultivators had long since vanished without a trace.

"Is the 'Slaughter God Annihilate Demon Sword Formation' half-destroyed?"

Fang Xing murmured.

At this moment, the array spirits and Feathers Heavenly Venerable's Divine Perception had already detected Fang Xing's presence.

Despite the mecha's barrier, they instantly recognized Fang Xing's true self, and upon sensing Fang Xing's aura after controlling this massive puppet, they realized it had reached a terrifying level.

"Your arrival is most timely, my friend. This demon communicates with the Great Void, drawing an endless supply of True Demon Qi... Its divine abilities are invincible. We are no match for it, and several of our Shenfu friends have already perished in battle!"

Feathers Heavenly Venerable's expression turned solemn. "If we cannot vanquish it, this demon will soon return to the Spirit Refinement Realm. We will all die without a proper burial."

Regardless of any previous schemes, when the Ancient Demon suddenly unleashed its power, demonstrating the ability to effortlessly slay mid-stage and even late-stage Divine Transformation Cultivators, Feathers Heavenly Venerable knew that he could only gather the strength of all cultivators to reseal the demon.

"As expected... a Spirit Refinement Cultivator can communicate with the Great Void... drawing upon the radiating power of the Great Dao..."

Fang Xing gazed at the black hole behind the Ancient Demon, witnessing the endless flow of True Demon Qi being absorbed, ensuring the Ancient Demon's power would never deplete, a truly boundless divine ability.

But at this moment, the 'black hole' itself became even more captivating to Fang Xing.

'As expected... True Demon Qi, radiating through layers of time and space...'

'No!'

'It should be a strand of the Great Dao's power, refracted through layers of the void... without any dissipation, only the overflowing aura, an infinite True Demon Qi... Is this the True Demon Dao or the Demon Dao?'

Currently, Fang Xing, clad in his battle armor, had reached the tenth realm of the Main Universe!

In the Cultivation World, this was the strength of a Spirit Refinement Master!

Therefore, he could discern the profound mysteries within the black hole and was deeply captivated by it.

"Hand over the Immortal Mansion's treasures!"

The Ancient Demon, upon seeing Fang Xing, had its eyes turn crimson, and countless True Demon shadows emerged, intending to unleash a mighty divine ability.

"Unfortunately... you haven't truly returned to the Spirit Refinement Realm!"

Fang Xing looked at the Ancient Demon, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

This Spirit Refinement Ancient Demon, having fallen in cultivation and been sealed for many years, had only managed to barely open the Great Void, relying on its past cultivation. Even with the frenzied absorption of True Demon Qi, it was still a hair's breadth away from reaching the Spirit Refinement Realm.

This tiny gap could be bridged within a few hours.

But at this moment, the difference was like heaven and earth!

"You can go die."

Fang Xing sighed, his consciousness connecting with the 'Death Heart' above the mecha.

A peculiar glow formed on the mecha's giant hand, and it abruptly struck out with a palm strike.

Crack!

With that strike, the void collapsed!

Not only that, but the collapse of the void triggered a domino effect, spreading in all directions.

The void shattered, and a void storm quietly formed!

This was a palm strike that shattered the vacuum!

'Why is the tenth realm of the Main Universe called 'Star Annihilating' power?'

'In reality, relying on one's own power, a Spirit Refinement Master can easily kill humans on a planet, or even destroy the planet's surface ecosystem, but destroying the planet itself is extremely difficult!'

'The only way is to leverage the rules! The power of the tenth realm is sufficient to shatter the void, and with the void's collapse, it can continuously expand and amplify... ultimately destroying heaven and earth!'

Crash!

The void shattered, and countless void storms appeared, instantly enveloping the Ancient Demon!

Although the Ancient Demon relied on its profound cultivation, using secret techniques to barely open the Great Void, it struggled to truly shatter the void.

After all, its cultivation was still at the Divine Transformation Perfection stage.

Its secret techniques, seemingly invincible, came at a heavy price, indicating a desperate last stand.

It cried out, and the infinite demon shadows were swept into the void storm, dissipating instantly.

Then, the storm completely engulfed its body and everything else...

To be continued tomorrow.
