Chapter 381: Death
Swoosh!
In a sudden turn of events, Meng Old Devil was caught off guard and could only use his demonic body to directly block the blade of the rusty iron sword!
A slender beam of sword light landed on his arm, causing countless scales to shatter and fly off, and it even severed his arm, leaving a deep sword wound on Meng Old Devil's body.
"Ah!"
Meng Old Devil let out a painful cry, grabbing his severed arm and placing it back at the wound.
Sizzle!
Accompanied by countless blood-red mists writhing like fine threads, the arm was reattached.
Even so, blood continued to seep out from the wounds...
"Compared to the ancient demon's immortal divine ability, your true demon body still needs more practice..."
Fang Xing chuckled.
"A lucky little devil."
Meng Old Devil roared, his heart filled with great fear.
Even with the Essence Refinement lineage, to have just advanced to Soul Transformation and already possess a trace of Void Power?
This sword cultivator, even if he doesn't reach the Nourishing Void stage, has a great chance of advancing to the late-stage Soul Transformation.
If not eliminated early, it will definitely become a major threat!
No!
With his fifth-stage Body Cultivator senior, they have already become a disaster for the unification of the Vast Sea Immortal World by the Limitless Hall!
Fortunately... the other party is only at the early Soul Transformation stage!
A bright black talisman appeared in Meng Old Devil's hand, and a trace of pain flashed across his face. He then bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of demon blood.
On the bright black talisman, intricate blood-colored runes flickered with a dragon and phoenix dance.
Then... it began to burn on its own without any wind, and the strange glow disappeared into the four voids.
"A sixth-rank talisman?"
"Is it a sixth-rank Void Talisman?"
Fang Xing's eyebrows furrowed.
The Limitless Hall had produced several ascendant powerhouses, leaving a profound legacy for the sect.
"Not bad, this is a sixth-rank 'Banishing Void Talisman', and its power is even more formidable than the Mountain and River Map."
Meng Old Devil coldly laughed, "Today, not only will your flying sword be unable to teleport, but even your Essence Spirit will be unable to escape..."
He also possessed Void Power, and at this moment, when he got serious, demonic energy surged into the sky. With a single rub of his hands, a flash of demon light appeared, transforming into eighteen layers of a terrifying cold hell, trapping Fang Xing within.
With the terror of these demonic hells, even if Fang Xing broke through one or two layers, they would quickly recover.
Once it turned into a battle of attrition, the Cultivation Avatar of a early Soul Transformation sword cultivator would be in great danger.
"Sigh... I'm at a disadvantage because of my cultivation realm."
In a sea of Yellow Springs Inferno, Fang Xing casually swung his sword, beheading several Yellow Springs evil ghosts, and sighed, "Fortunately... there's nothing to it."
After all, he was just an incarnation.
The main force was still his True Self!
"These Eighteen Demon Paths Inferno... should be the old demon's formidable divine ability, mixing Void Power with his own demonic power, creating a terrifying ability that is both real and illusory, and both true and false... If one cannot break through and endure the limit in one go, they must fight endlessly without rest, and eventually be worn down to death... It's a good idea to solve the problem of sword cultivators."
Fang Xing nodded slightly, and as the heavenly phenomenon changed, it transformed into a Blood Pool Inferno, with blood demons crawling out one after another.
Their appearances were hideous, with red scales on their bodies, black horns on their heads, and an endless stream of them crawling out of the blood pool.
'This old demon seems to be serious.'
'The most suitable tactic for sword cultivators is actually the beheading tactic, followed by a swift retreat... If it turns into a battle of attrition or a prolonged war, it will be fatal, as prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat, and sword cultivators have pitiful defenses...'
'But for me, a battle of attrition is not bad.'
Fang Xing's Essence Spirit wielded the sword, and beams of sword light crisscrossed, slaying the blood demons.
This time, he didn't rush to shatter the Blood Pool Inferno but instead started to hone his sword techniques.
Since everyone's goal was to buy time, then they might as well drag it out.
It was also a good opportunity for him to familiarize himself with Soul Transformation techniques.
Having a Soul Transformation Celestial as a sparring partner! Not everyone could have such a privilege.
...
"Hmm?"
Outside, Meng Old Devil witnessed this scene, and his expression changed slightly.
Cultivators' battles were swift, even with such divine abilities, it had not lasted ten breaths.
Even so, Fang Xing deliberately slowed down, causing Meng Old Devil to become suspicious.
Cultivators inherently had the 'impulsive' spiritual sense, and Soul Transformation cultivators refined their Essence Spirits, merging with the universe, further enhancing this ability.
At this moment, he had a bad feeling.
Of course, this impulsive feeling wasn't always accurate and might even lead to the cultivator's demise.
Another possibility was that being constantly in a dangerous situation and constantly on alert was the same as not being alert at all.
For example, during the battle at the Primordial Soul Sword Sect, several Soul Transformation cultivators must have had this impulsive feeling.
But exploring the dangerous mountain gate of the Primordial Soul Sword Sect was a normal risk!
Moreover, when confronting ancient demons in the later stages, they constantly walked on a tightrope, and their impulsive feelings were ignored.
None of them had expected that there would be Fang Xing, an outsider from another world, who completely disregarded all reason.
The machine armor was activated, and with a single move, he sent it away.
As an extraterrestrial, Fang Xing had the ability to transcend the Three Realms and the Five Elements, and perhaps even suppress the cultivation of other cultivators with his sudden inspiration.
However, at this moment, Meng Old Devil still felt a chilling sensation: "Something's wrong... Could it be that something happened to the two Divine Transformation Venerables of the Ethereal Immortal Palace? Even if my second Nascent Soul and the Wuji Demon Palace can't stop them, they can at least hold them back..."
Like the Two Worlds Banner, the Wuji Demon Palace was the ultimate treasure of the Limitless Hall, its rank reaching the sixth stage, a Nourishing Void grade!
Such an ultimate treasure was a one-of-a-kind possession in sacred lands.
Among the Essence Spirit Sword Sect, there was a sixth-stage flying sword, but unfortunately, it had disappeared into the void storm along with the other fifth-stage flying swords... This left the later Fang Xing with some regrets.
However...
Now, there was an opportunity to obtain two sixth-stage ultimate treasures.
It was difficult for Transcendent Soul Cultivators to fully unleash the power of a sixth-stage ultimate treasure, so most sacred lands combined them with grand arrays.
But the machine armor was different; it could fully unleash the power of the Ten Realms, and even complement each other!
It could be said that the greatest advantage of the main universe was the ability to utilize technology to augment and unleash a higher level of power! Of course, the current limit was the Twelve Realms.
But later on, that might not be the case.
Boom!
Just as Meng Old Devil was feeling terrified, a silver light flashed.
A terrifying humanoid machine armor over a hundred meters tall appeared.
Bone spikes protruded from the steel alloy deck, forming a pair of pale bone wings, and a pale glow descended.
Within the eighteen layers of hell, countless evil ghosts and Asuras... all died, falling into a deathly silence.
Even the divine abilities themselves were imbued with the concept of 'life' and died instantly...
Whoosh!
A sword light appeared.
Fang Xing's Cultivation Avatar directly arrived on the left palm of the Black Death Number machine armor, looking down at Meng Old Devil.
"This... a puppet?"
Meng Old Devil's face turned extremely ugly: "Fifth stage? No... a sixth-stage puppet? Impossible... How could you possibly break through the Banishing Void Talisman's seal?"
The appearance of a Nourishing Void grade puppet in the lower realm was already a hard-to-believe event.
But what shocked Meng Old Devil even more was the way the Black Death Number had appeared—it had directly torn through the void!
The implications of this were truly bone-chilling!
After all, he had just used the sixth-stage Banishing Void Talisman from the Limitless Hall!
What kind of puppet could break through a sixth-stage Banishing Void Talisman?
Moreover, how could such a large puppet cross the Great Void?
Even if Meng Old Devil thought about it for a moment, he felt a shiver down his spine, and even wondered if he had been too arrogant today.
The two Divine Transformation Venerables of the Ethereal Immortal Palace were indeed dried-up bones in their tombs.
But the two from Dark Kui Island were not...
Just as he was shocked, Fang Xing had already made his move!
Whoosh!
The power of death in the universe seemed to materialize completely, transforming into a pale scythe held in the right hand of the Black Death Number.
Then... the scythe was lightly swung!
Whoosh!
A white light slashed across Meng Old Devil, and neither the Magnetic Shield nor the True Demon Body had any effect. He was evenly split in two, falling into eternal death.
Even within the white light, the void began to shatter.
Countless silver spatial cracks formed a terrifying arc blade, slicing through the core of the True Demon Body!
Shua!
The blade light killed Meng Old Devil, and its momentum remained undiminished as it slashed through the sky, covering dozens of miles of sea.
Crackle!
A void fissure dozens of miles long appeared, spanning the sea surface as if devouring the surrounding space.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing's eyebrows rose, and the machine armor's body moved instantly, arriving a hundred miles away.
...
On a desolate island, a strange black coffin suddenly emerged from the soil, and a huge scar appeared on the coffin lid, as if it had been slashed by the scythe of death.
Crack! Crack!
The pitch-black coffin shattered into four pieces, and Meng Old Devil's figure walked out.
However, at this moment, not only was his aura extremely weak, but he also seemed to be heavily injured.
"It's actually a Nourishing Void grade puppet... I've fallen into a trap this time. Fortunately, I prepared this 'Heavenly Demon Blood Corpse' in advance..."
This secret technique also came from the Nine Strategies of the Demon King, and it was the supreme method to avoid tribulations and prolong life.
Meng Old Devil had prepared a Heavenly Demon Blood Corpse as insurance for his challenge today.
Unfortunately, he hadn't mastered this secret technique well enough, and to use this blood corpse to transfer his life, he had to be within a hundred miles.
His face was pale, and a refined blood escape talisman appeared in his hand, ready to tear through the void and leave.
But suddenly, a terrifying machine armor stood in the sky, casting a terrifying shadow that enveloped Meng Old Devil.
Meng Old Devil's face changed immediately: "Fellow Daoist, I am willing to submit. I'll give you all the treasures of the Limitless Hall!"
"He's quite smart, but unfortunately, I don't believe you."
Fang Xing smiled, "Perhaps you have other secret methods and techniques to preserve your life... but it doesn't matter, your life is already in my hands."
With a thought, the Black Death Number had completely captured Meng Old Devil's aura, and then... a semi-transparent, illusory pale heart appeared in the right hand of the machine armor.
It was the Heart of Death!
"This is a profound application of the Death Law, the Death Law is most suitable for eliminating these kinds of experts who excel at preserving their lives and have numerous incarnations..."
Fang Xing thought indifferently, his gaze filled with a cold and merciless look as if looking down upon all living beings.
'The path of Laws, if entry is merely amplification, then mastery is a deeper level of control.'
'And at the expert level, one can condense the corresponding 'Law Heart', which is obviously advantageous compared to those who have not yet comprehended the Law.'
Now, as his True Self continuously comprehended the Star Palace Scroll, Fang Xing gained many insights into the path of Laws.
'At the master level after proficiency, one should be able to skillfully utilize various powers of Laws, transforming them into blades and swords is just the most basic... the greatest standard is to condense the 'Law Body'...'
'At the final master level, it is the birth of Laws with a single thought, using one's own Law to repel other Laws, forming a 'Law Universe', and having the power of life and death... it can be said that one is just a step away from completely comprehending a single Law!'
With the help of the Black Death Number, Fang Xing's mastery of the Death Law was comparable to those with a Law Heart!
In the Daxia Universe, even a Star Sovereign Realm Stellar Rank expert would have the strength of the Tenth Realm.
Through the captured life essence of Meng Old Devil, Fang Xing's will saw a series of illusions through the pale heart in his hand.
He saw a pale-faced cultivator with only the Foundation Establishment cultivation base in the depths of a bronze palace.
He witnessed Meng Old Devil's second Primordial Spirit, driving a bizarre Demon Palace, fighting against Gu Zunzhe and Jin Zunzhe.
He even saw a strange corpse refiner buried in a secret realm at the bottom of the sea, with a strand of Primordial Spirit attached to it!
'Quite formidable, to have prepared three backup plans.'
Fang Xing murmured, speaking with interest, "The second Primordial Spirit, Soul Transfer, and even splitting off a strand of Primordial Spirit, hiding it in a corpse refiner within a secret inheritance realm..."
As for why Meng Old Devil didn't use these methods to escape before?
It was naturally because the Heavenly Demon Blood Corpse technique was the most convenient, and it could even preserve most of his Primordial Spirit and cultivation.
If he used other resurrection methods, his cultivation would greatly decline, and there was a high possibility of various problems occurring.
But compared to death, it was naturally best to preserve a chance to start anew.
Unfortunately, under the concept of death, Fang Xing, with the help of the Law, directly controlled Meng Old Devil's various 'deaths'...
Even with a single thought, he could cause all of Meng Old Devil's incarnations and backup plans to fall!
Thump! Thump!
The pale heart continued to beat.
With each beat, Meng Old Devil's face turned paler, resembling a dead person even more.
"Death!"
Fang Xing sighed silently, and within the machine armor's palm, countless pale white bones appeared, piercing the semi-transparent heart.
Crack!
As the pale heart shattered into pieces, Meng Old Devil instantly lost all his vital signs, and his body fell to the ground.
Not only that, the Soul Transfer body hidden in the bronze palace and the strand of Primordial Spirit attached to the corpse refiner in the deep-sea secret realm also instantly dissipated, entering a complete and eternal death...
...
On the ocean's surface, numerous puppet remains fell into the sea, bobbing with the waves.
In the sky, a Demon Palace emitted a dense aura of True Demon Qi, like dark clouds, almost blocking out the sun.
Gu Zunzhe and Jin Zunzhe stood beneath a silver Two Worlds Banner, both with unsightly expressions.
The Two Worlds Banner was skilled in the Void Path, ensuring their survival, but they lacked offensive capabilities.
Facing Meng Old Devil's second Primordial Spirit, who also held a Nourishing Void treasure, they were at a great disadvantage.
Not only that, even though Meng Old Devil's second Primordial Spirit was only at the middle stage of Soul Transformation, his secret techniques and abilities far exceeded their imagination.
"There's nothing more we can do, let's leave."
Jin Zunzhe spoke with difficulty, and with the Two Worlds Banner, escaping was not a problem.
However, their original plan to be the fisherman who reaped the benefits was now completely dashed.
Just as Gu Zunzhe was about to speak, he swept his Divine Perception and suddenly his expression changed.
They saw that Meng Old Devil's second Primordial Spirit, which had just been flaunting its might, had suddenly dissipated at some point, revealing a pitch-black inner pill that fell from mid-air...
In the void, the Wuji Demon Palace let out a mournful cry, transforming into a black light and immediately fleeing.
This scene stunned the two Soul Transformation Venerables of the Ethereal Immortal Palace, "How did the second Primordial Spirit just dissipate? Even the object where the Primordial Spirit was attached fell down, it shouldn't be fake, right?"
