Chapter 447: The Assassin
Chapter 447: The Assassin
"Hmm?"
As Fang Xing was moving towards the Azure Blossom Realm, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"The 'Sever Causality' secret art is warning me... My causality line has been triggered."
He muttered, a cold smile forming on his lips.
"I don't have many causality lines, besides Hundred Monkeys Mountain... it must be..."
Fang Xing immediately used his causality secret art, and a hazy line appeared in his hand.
This line of causality was exceptionally clear, pointing directly at one person!
"It's not Boundless Mountain leaking secrets, but something must have happened with Song Zhong from Seven Kill Demon Palace again?"
Fang Xing shook his head.
Back in the Peach Valley Mystic Realm, he had ordered Song Zhong to lure the Xi Xi Department Prince from Azure Emperor Palace, which might have left clues and potential troubles.
After all, as the core member of Boundless Mountain, the more he stood out, the more curious outsiders would become, and some information would inevitably leak.
It was only natural that Song Zhong was found out.
'Back then, outside the Peach Valley Mystic Realm, I directly sent Song Zhong into a Void Treasure to hide him and concealed his causality... Then I left him unattended in the outside world.'
'After killing Fu Shan, I let him fend for himself... It seems he's finally been caught?'
After all, he was still one of their soul servants. Unless absolutely necessary, Fang Xing wouldn't take the initiative to kill.
Moreover, he kept the other party alive as bait.
Now it seemed that a fish had indeed taken the bait.
"Using the causality secret art to find me?"
A cold smile appeared on his face.
Others were unaware that he had cultivated the causality secret art to such an advanced level, allowing him to detect and even trace the source in advance.
But at this moment, he didn't use the secret art to conceal his causality.
Instead, he let the causality line wrap around him, allowing himself to be located.
"It's impossible for a Demon Emperor to come... at most, a Celestial Demon of the Heavenly Demon Realm..."
"It's a good opportunity to test my current strength..."
"Hmm, to be safe, it's best to choose a battlefield near the Azure Blossom Realm. If I can't win, I can still escape into the mystic realm..."
...
Azure Blossom Realm.
Outskirts.
Fang Xing sat atop a mountain, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Before... I had only broken through to the Black Hole Rank with my physical body... Later, with the help of numerous wondrous treasures, I also cultivated my soul core to the ninth level..."
The auxiliary cultivation elixirs that could be exchanged at Heaven Arena were even more effective than Soul Core Elixirs.
"But my weakness remains—my understanding of laws is too weak... My strength is average... Only my physique can rival a Triple-layered Celestial Demon."
During his time in Heaven Arena, he hadn't been idle.
Nearly a hundred Pan Gu Tokens, most of which were spent on his physique and the comprehension of the Space-Time Great Scroll, had brought him significant progress in the Black Hole Rank.
Previously, when he broke through, he could only rival a single-layered Celestial Demon, making him the weakest among Supreme Essence Sovereigns. But now, he could match a triple-layered Celestial Demon, and his strength had increased by several times over!
"Hmm?"
Just then, Fang Xing sensed a disturbance in the void behind him. A black hand shot out, aiming for his heart!
Pff!
The black hand landed on his back, but it couldn't penetrate his Black Hole Rank physique. Instead, he grabbed the hand with his own.
Whoosh!
A figure retreated swiftly, but a crisp sound came from his hand.
"A Celestial Immortal? An Imperial Armament?"
Fang Xing looked at the black glove-like Imperial Armament in his hand, a smile appearing on his face.
He grasped the black glove with both hands and exerted force with his arms.
Buzz!
A terrifying black hole distortion force instantly acted upon the black glove.
Crack!
The black glove let out a mournful cry, and a crack appeared on its surface. Fang Xing then opened his mouth and swallowed it, directly suppressing it deep within his black hole.
There, space-time was distorted, and even light couldn't escape, making it the perfect prison and suppression site!
Only then did Fang Xing have the leisure to look at the attacker in front of him.
The attacker was a Daoist with a face shrouded in black mist, and his aura was that of a Celestial Immortal!
A Celestial Immortal assassin!
"I didn't expect... your physique to be capable of directly blocking an Imperial Armament. You're indeed a Supreme Essence Sovereign."
Wu Xin Daoist let out a breath, "Pfft... This business deal is a big loss."
"Business deal? Are you from Heavenly Slaughter Tower or Yama Gate?" Fang Xing frowned. "According to the rules of the assassin's trade... When the target's strength greatly exceeds expectations, shouldn't you return to revise the plan or at least ask for additional assurance from the employer?"
"Haha... This Black Dragon is truly interesting. Could you also be in the same line of work?"
Wu Xin Daoist laughed sinisterly, "The price will naturally increase, but the chance of you being alone is quite rare... I'm quite interested in your heart and liver."
"An assassin who loves hearts and livers, are you Wu Xin Daoist?"
Fang Xing nodded. This Celestial Immortal was a notorious figure in the Qingyuan Great World, known for bullying the weak and working as an assassin.
When a Celestial Immortal assassin strikes, even an Imperial Son in the Essence Spirit Realm has a high chance of dying!
"I understand. Now, it's time for you to die!"
Wu Xin Daoist's thoughts moved, and a pitch-black river appeared. This was his manifestation of the 'Dark Water Law', and the power of a complete law was terrifying.
In an instant, Fang Xing felt a terrifying suppression descend upon him, and even the space-time fluctuations were suppressed to the extreme!
Comprehending laws had always been his weakness. During his Profound level, he was often suppressed by enemies who had mastered the Willborn Law.
Even though the Space-Time Law had merged, allowing him to be equivalent to the fifth level of the Dao Law, he was still no match for the Heaven Immortal Demon.
Even if he had reached the peak of the fifth level of Dao Law comprehension, he was just a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending the complete law.
But as long as he hadn't taken that final step, the gap between them was as vast as the difference between heaven and earth! A Heaven Immortal Demon could easily annihilate an ordinary Essence Spirit Realm cultivator at the ninth level with a mere thought.
The only exception was the Supreme Essence Sovereign!
Even so, Fang Xing felt his Time and Void Laws suppressed, making it difficult for him to teleport or use other secret techniques.
Unless... he used a treasured artifact!
Buzz!
A bronze mirror with mottled patterns appeared in his hand, and his figure instantly split into three.
"Hmm? Time Law... past and future bodies?"
"What a wonderful treasure of time!"
Wu Xin Daoist naturally recognized the power of the Time Mirror, and his tone couldn't help but be filled with emotion, "It seems... you did gain quite a lot in the Pan Gu Mystic Realm..."
Greed stirred within him as the black water river flowed majestically, covering an area of several tens of thousands of miles.
Fang Xing's past self smiled slightly, and the black-clothed youth maintained by his abilities instantly collapsed, transforming into a 'Black Hole'!
Boom!
Terrifying gravity emerged and spread in all directions, not even light could escape its capture.
Whoosh!
The tens of thousands of miles of black water instantly vanished, as if being continuously compressed, twisted, and absorbed into the core essence of the black hole.
Whoosh!
Even Wu Xin Daoist's body was affected by the terrifying gravity.
At that moment, another black-clothed Fang Xing appeared before Wu Xin Daoist and pointed a finger.
His finger was pale and delicate, but the tip held a trace of black hole power that suddenly erupted.
Bang!
Wu Xin Daoist was sent flying dozens of miles backward, the mist around him dissipated, revealing a handsome face, "He's not an ordinary Supreme Essence Sovereign... at least equivalent to a Celestial Immortal... If given time, no, he's already a major threat right now."
He extended both hands and retrieved a pitch-black long halberd from the black river surrounding him.
Whoosh!
The long halberd roared, and the black water surged, transforming into a pitch-black giant dragon that plummeted down.
Wu Xin Daoist had survived until now, so his strength was evidently not weak, making him a Celestial Immortal at the fourth level.
Now, using another Imperial Armament and Celestial Immortal secret technique, the amplified might reached an extreme point.
Roar!
The black dragon coiled around the pitch-black true water, engulfing 'Fang Xing'.
But in the next instant, another black hole burst forth, and the dark Chaos devoured the area within several tens of thousands of miles.
A flash of light.
Wu Xin Daoist held the long halberd, his Dao robe torn, silently watching everything, his expression turning as still as water.
...
A million miles away.
Fang Xing teleported and arrived at the entrance of the Azure Blossom Realm, "I'm not stupid. That Wu Xin Daoist is powerful, but I'll come back to fight him after I obtain the inheritance..."
Although he couldn't enter the Azure Blossom Realm, he released his aura, and a flash of light appeared in the void, and he vanished.
Almost at the moment Fang Xing disappeared, Wu Xin Daoist transformed into a ray of dark light and arrived at the same spot. Seeing the Azure Blossom Realm, he frowned, "Azure Blossom Realm? It's the territory of the Azure Emperor Palace and the Seven Kill Demon Palace, not an easy opponent... But the Azure Emperor Palace is negotiable, but the Seven Kill Demon Palace's Seven Kill Daoist is not someone who listens to reason..."
As a Celestial Immortal, he couldn't enter the Azure Blossom Realm, but he was confident he could destroy it.
However, doing so would greatly offend two major powers.
It was easier to deal with the Azure Emperor Palace since they were the ones who commissioned the task, but the Seven Kill Daoist was not a reasonable person.
Just as Wu Xin Daoist was hesitating, a white-haired youth appeared in the sky, "Wu Xin Daoist friend..."
"Seven Kill Daoist friend..."
Wu Xin Daoist's expression turned ugly, "I wonder why you've come here?"
"Hehe, you imprisoned my Seven Kill Demon Palace's elder, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Seven Kill Daoist also wore a black Dao robe, his head full of black hair, and his handsome face now had a hint of crimson in his eyes.
"Haha, Seven Kill Daoist brother, this is all a misunderstanding... I found that your elder was possibly controlled, so I'm seeking justice for your elder..."
Wu Xin Daoist said, "Now that the little thief has hidden in the Azure Blossom Realm, what does Seven Kill Daoist think should be done?"
"Wait!"
Seven Kill Daoist glanced at Wu Xin Daoist and closed his eyes.
It seemed like he was afraid that if he looked any longer, he wouldn't be able to suppress the killing intent within him...
...
Azure Blossom Realm.
Step by step, the stairs led upwards, and at the highest point was a statue of the Blue Porcelain Empress.
Fang Xing was directly teleported to this place and bowed towards the statue of the Blue Porcelain Empress.
Whoosh!
A ray of light descended and transformed into the Realm Spirit Serpent Maiden.
She examined Fang Xing up and down a few times and nodded, "Congratulations on your promotion to the Essence Spirit Realm... With the Vermillion Dragon Demon Emperor's bloodline, it wasn't too difficult... The Empress has specially prepared three Imperial Armaments for you."
The Serpent Maiden waved her hand lightly, and three rays of light descended, revealing the Azure Scales Armor, the Primordial Wood Sword, and the Heart Guard Mirror.
"This 'Azure Serpent Armor' and 'Primordial Wood Sword' are both exquisite Imperial Armaments... But the most precious one is this 'Nuwa Essence Mirror', a treasure for guarding the soul core."
