Chapter 434: Peach Deity
Chapter 434: Peach Deity
In the core zone of the Peach Valley Secret Realm, atop a towering peach tree that blotted out the sky.
The massive wooden face stirred, and strands of verdant green emerged, coalescing into a human figure in mid-air.
He appeared youthful, with green hair and a pure white robe adorned with plum blossoms.
"That interesting Black Dragon... His bloodline is extraordinary, it should be an Imperial Bloodline... This feeling, could it be a descendant of the Flame Dragon?"
The young man smiled, and a green leaf appeared in his hand.
On the green leaf, golden patterns formed several symbols.
At this moment, along with the burning peach leaf, a wisp of green smoke appeared.
Within the green smoke, a terrifying demon beast manifested.
Its body was as majestic as a mountain, with snow-white fur and a silver moon mark on its forehead—it was none other than the 'Heavenly Demon Emperor'!
And it was the Demon Emperor of the Celestial Wolf Clan!
"Peach Deity... What brings you here to see me?"
The Celestial Wolf Emperor opened his eyes, revealing a myriad of emotions—greed, cunning, and malevolence.
"Celestial Wolf King... I'm here to inform you that the Wu Xie brothers are dead."
The Peach Deity spoke nonchalantly.
"What?"
The Celestial Wolf Emperor rose instantly, and his terrifying aura tore through the void, as if he would descend upon the Peach Valley Secret Realm in the next moment.
The Peach Deity's face remained filled with a playful smile, showing no trace of fear. Instead, he seemed to anticipate something.
"Who killed them? You watched and did nothing! What a disgrace to the Demon Race!"
The Celestial Wolf Emperor sat back down, his voice heavy as a mountain, carrying the scent of blood and corpses.
When a ruler is enraged, blood will flow!
"Hehe..."
The young Peach Deity chuckled coldly, "You from the Azure Emperor Palace and the Two Worlds Mountain have occupied my master's secret realm for thousands of years... I haven't taken action yet, only because of the agreement from back then. How shameless can you be? Do you want me to protect your Celestial Wolf Division? If you dare to challenge me, come and try!"
The Celestial Wolf Emperor fell silent.
Although the Peach Deity was not a Celestial Demon, his true form was extraordinary. Within the core zone, he was a Soul Core Tyrant, capable of rivaling Celestial Demons!
If he rashly ventured into their territory, he might end up losing face.
Losing face was secondary; if he got injured and the Celestial Immortals from opposing factions seized the opportunity, the consequences would be dire.
Moreover, compared to the thick-skinned Celestial Demons, a Demon Race Prince was expendable cannon fodder.
The last time, Kun Yuanzi from Boundless Mountain died in the Peach Valley Secret Realm, and Boundless Mountain did not say a word, accepting the loss.
Now, the Azure Emperor Palace was making a fuss, even though one of their Azure Emperors would lose face.
"Oh, right... There's one more thing I need to tell you. A little guy from the She Xi Division is about to encounter that bad luck star again and will die... Tsk tsk, he's even seeking him out. I wonder where he gets his courage."
The Peach Deity was pouring oil on the fire, a mocking smile playing on his face.
"Bad luck star... Could it be Jade White?"
The Celestial Wolf Emperor guessed.
Only Jade White from Boundless Mountain could easily slaughter princes.
"No... It's a Black Dragon."
After speaking, the Peach Deity waved his hand, dispersing the green smoke, and a glint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
"Come... Kill! The more deaths, the better!"
He held no favor for either Boundless Mountain or the Azure Emperor Palace, and this time, he intentionally leaked the information, hoping to witness chaos and rivers of blood.
After all, with his consciousness and the cultivation of his Soul Core, thousands of years of boredom had taken their toll.
"The Essence Spirit Realm is forbidden in the Peach Valley Secret Realm... Now, the only one the Azure Emperor Palace can send is that 'Imperial Princess,' right?"
The Peach Deity muttered, "That Black Dragon is not simple. When two demons fight, one will surely die. It's best if they both perish here, and I can feast on the fattened peach..."
...
"He's here."
Wu Qi, who was eating a peach, heard the Black Dragon, which had been coiled around him, suddenly speak up.
"Hmm?"
He snapped out of his daze and looked in the direction of the Black Dragon, waiting for a moment before seeing a streak of green light.
The green light simultaneously spotted both demons and accelerated again! Not only that, it eagerly attacked without hesitation, as if afraid they might escape!
Humm!
Countless green silk threads gathered in the air, forming a gigantic human face mask.
"It's you?!"
The face seemed to recognize Fang Xing, "The Black Dragon?! It's you?!"
Fu Shan was filled with hatred!
He had only sought revenge for his brother, but after several attempts, the target had managed to escape.
Initially, it was just about saving face, but now, if this matter wasn't resolved, it would become a knot in his heart.
If this knot wasn't untangled, it might turn into a heart demon in the future!
Unfortunately, Song Zhong was too cunning. He had been directly rescued by the World Spirit in the Azure Flower Realm, and Fu Shan's subsequent attempts were fruitless, leaving him empty-handed.
Later, Song Zhong returned to the Seven Slaughters Demon Palace and broke through to the Essence Spirit Realm, becoming an elder.
The Seven Slaughters Demon Palace, with Celestial Immortals among its ranks, was not a force to be trifled with. Fu Shan dared not launch a direct assault, so he resorted to using informants.
As a result, the Seven Slaughters Demon Palace suffered significant losses, and Song Zhong remained unscathed, hiding like a coward.
Finally, Song Zhong had ventured out again, arriving near the Peach Valley Secret Realm, but the trail had gone cold once more.
And according to the law of cause and effect, the trail led straight to his spirit beast, the Black Dragon!
"This time, do you think relying on Boundless Mountain and the White Ape will save you?"
"No... No one can save me, not in heaven or on earth."
The giant green face roared, blowing a gust of wind.
"What does this have to do with me?"
Wu Qi looked utterly baffled. "Me, save Black Dragon? It's more like Black Dragon saved me!"
"Finally, you're here."
Fang Xing burst into laughter, allowing the azure gale to sweep across his body. Countless azure threads, capable of slicing through Primordial Soul Treasures, couldn't leave the slightest mark on his dragon scales.
Whoosh!
Fang Xing strode through the void, his dragon tail swaying.
An indescribable force landed on the azure giant's face, causing the threads of rules to snap instantly.
The azure mask shattered, revealing Fu Shan's shocked face.
"How is this possible? How can he be so strong?"
His scales stood erect as he realized this was no longer about avenging his brother, but about preserving his own life.
Fu Shan immediately turned and fled, blending into the wind, escaping a hundred li in an instant.
"Trying to run?"
Fang Xing scoffed, allowing Fu Shan to escape.
His figure merged into the void, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
"How can a spirit beast be so powerful? With that physique? Even a Yuan Shen Realm Demon King might not be able to match it?"
Fu Shan sent out various distress signals while running for his life.
"How can a spirit beast be so strong? And it's even with a core member of Boundless Mountain?"
"There's a conspiracy, there must be a huge conspiracy!"
Unfortunately, Fu Shan was already fleeing for his life, but he saw the void ahead opening like a door.
A twenty-meter-long black dragon flew out, its scales shimmering with black and red starlight.
"Teleportation Technique? It's over..."
Fu Shan's heart sank as a soft sword appeared in his hand.
In an instant, countless sword shadows filled the sky, intertwining and merging with the wind.
Within a radius of several dozen li, azure sword marks dominated, hissing as they formed a giant azure celestial serpent.
This celestial serpent, several li long, had icy and ruthless eyes, swallowing Fang Xing whole.
Crack!
Countless azure wind blades and threads infused with rule power slashed at the dragon scales, only to shatter one after another.
"Roar!"
Fang Xing let out a dragon's roar, and the power within his body exploded like a red giant star, causing his size to swell instantly, accompanied by crimson flames.
The celestial serpent was instantly blasted apart, revealing a black dragon.
"Die!"
Fang Xing extended his front claw, and Fu Shan felt his speed slow down almost twofold!
"Time Doctrine?"
"Flame Dragon?"
Fu Shan's face darkened. "I'll remember you..."
Whoosh!
The dragon claw, imbued with the essence of the Time Gun Technique, merged speed and slowness, carrying a sense of time chaos, and was about to pierce Fu Shan's brow.
Just then, a blue scale appeared between Fu Shan's eyebrows.
This scale was azure, like a piece of jade, and exuded a terrifying aura.
'Celestial Demon Scale?'
'Does this prince have a life-saving treasure?'
'Forget it, I'll have to kill him another time.'
Upon seeing this scale, Fang Xing knew that killing Fu Shan today was impossible.
Even if he could rival a high-level Yuan Shen Realm cultivator, he couldn't interfere with the Celestial Demon's methods!
With a difference of two major realms, no matter how talented he was, it was useless.
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!
A verdant peach leaf floated over, landing on the Celestial Demon Scale.
The demonic energy on the scale instantly dissipated, enveloped by the peach leaf.
Puff!
Fang Xing's dragon claw faced no resistance, piercing through Fu Shan's azure armor and his skull.
Bang!
Fu Shan's body fell heavily to the ground, transforming into an azure celestial serpent.
"Demon Emperor's blood, is that all..."
Fang Xing sighed, about to search the body when he saw peach tree roots appear, piercing the celestial serpent's corpse.
The roots instantly turned crimson, and the serpent's body shrank, becoming skeletal, like a skull serpent.
"This..."
Wu Qi, who had just arrived, witnessed this scene, and even his fluffy face showed a hint of shock. "Peach Deity?"
"It's him!"
Fang Xing understood.
The only one who could counter a Celestial Demon was another Celestial Demon's power!
In the entire Peach Valley Secret Realm, the only one who could counter a Celestial Demon's methods was that 'Peach Deity'.
'A Soul Core Tyrant, he dares to challenge a Celestial Demon?'
'No, this Tyrant is simply courting chaos... Did Kunyuan Son die like this?'
Fang Xing looked at Fu Shan's corpse, now a pile of white bones, and couldn't help but sigh.
Then, he turned to Wu Qi, "Brother Wu, should we continue searching for the Crimson Peach or return?"
"Haha, Black Dragon brother, you've killed three Demon Emperor's sons. Your fame will surely soar... Naturally, we'll follow your lead."
The white ape, Wu Qi, answered with grandeur.
With Black Dragon's current strength, he could roam freely in the Peach Valley Secret Realm.
Moreover... with his Teleportation Technique, even if he couldn't win, he could escape. What was there to fear?
"Then let's continue exploring the secret realm... Let's gather more Crimson Peaches, as we don't know if there'll be another chance."
Fang Xing smiled.
Now that he had revealed some of his strength, he wanted to secure all the benefits first.
