Chapter 461: Annihilating
Chapter 461: Annihilating
"Hmm? This immortal mansion treasure is indeed something... and it's missing the Cauldron Spirit."
Through soul-searching, Fang Xing had long known that he could use the grand formation to sacrifice a vast number of lives and forcibly summon the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron's spirit using the sacrifice technique.
But this method would harm the heavens and the earth, and he wasn't one to slaughter the innocent—the Black Dragon was a victim of revenge, so it couldn't be counted.
Hence, he had put it off.
But at this moment, with his mastery of spatial laws, he had a better solution.
In an instant, Fang Xing's consciousness pierced through the material layer and entered the illusionary void layer, overlooking the entire Qianyuan Immortal World from a higher dimension.
"Compared to the Qingyuan Great World, the Qianyuan Immortal World is minuscule, too small... It's many times smaller than the Azurewood World... With a single thought, I can instantly teleport to any place in the immortal world."
"Using the Cause and Effect Secret Techniques from the Panwu Canon to trace and sense... As long as the Cauldron Spirit is still in this world, it can't possibly escape..."
In the next instant, a hazy thread of cause and effect appeared in Fang Xing's hand, with one end connected to the body of the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron and the other end extending into the illusionary void layer, sensing the entire immortal world.
And then...
An unexpected result surprised Fang Xing.
"It's not here... The Cauldron Spirit is not within the range of this immortal world."
"The thread of cause and effect gives me a feeling that it's in another plane of existence?"
After some contemplation, Fang Xing concluded, "An ancient cultivator descended from the Essence Vacuum, could it be that someone has already captured the 'Cauldron Spirit' and is keeping it a secret... Perhaps the Cauldron Spirit has been taken to the higher realm, or even to the Demon Realm!"
"I had originally planned to complete this immortal mansion treasure, but it seems there's no hope for now."
...
Primary Universe.
Star Calendar Year 806.
"A decade of life and death, a vast and boundless distance..."
Huoluo Star Cluster, on a meteorite, Fang Xing's figure quietly appeared.
Recalling the scene from a few years ago, he sighed again.
The Blue Star Federation had gone to war with the Huoluo Tribe, and this group of elite academy experts had been sent on a decapitation mission. However, things went awry, and they had to break out individually.
He had taken this opportunity to secretly return to the Blue Star, kill the Augustine Brothers, settle his grudges, and also eliminate the Laplace Demon.
After that, he had fled to the immortal world and begun his journey through time and space.
"Now, I wonder how things are on the Blue Star... How has the situation changed over these years?"
At this moment, Fang Xing couldn't help but suspect that this offensive plan was a conspiracy targeting the academy faction!
"Judging from the final loss of contact, it's possible that we'll suffer a heavy blow this time..."
He murmured and entered the illusionary void layer.
Whoosh!
After teleporting, Fang Xing appeared in a border region of the Huoluo Tribe.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
After two more teleports, he landed at the edge of a star cluster.
"Hmm... This should be the border between the Blue Star Federation and the Huoluo Tribe. I abandoned all my technological equipment and secretly traveled for years... I've finally returned to the human realm."
Fang Xing was quite moved, and soon he noticed two forces fighting not far away.
One of them was predominantly using human technological weapons, with a vast star fleet covering the sky, and numerous mecha pilots swarming like locusts.
The other force was the Huoluo Tribe's legion, led by a Huoluo Emperor at the Tenth Stage of power, further bolstered by the legion's support, making him one of the top fighters at that stage.
Moreover, the Flame Giant that continuously destroyed the universe's battleships gave Fang Xing a very familiar feeling.
"Dororo? If the original guardian is fine, then Heng Dong, who came with me, is likely in trouble..."
Fang Xing sighed silently.
"Hmm? Who?"
At this moment, Dororo, the Huoluo Emperor, also noticed Fang Xing, or rather, he was attracted by the spatial fluctuations in the area.
"It's our human race's Principal Blue, Fang Xing, the God of Martial Arts!"
The artificial intelligence on the ship also identified Fang Xing and reported it to the captain, who quickly made a decision: "Fang Xing, the God of Martial Arts, was one of the members of the initial assault team. He chose to retreat to the human realm alone... I didn't expect to see him here. Rescue him immediately!"
Just then, Dororo roared, and the legion's power transformed into a blood-red spear, thrusting fiercely.
Fang Xing yawned, and a drop of pitch-black liquid appeared on his body, transforming into a long spear—the 'Black Death God' mecha.
At this point, his physical body alone was enough to rival a Tenth Stage cultivator, and the mecha wasn't much use.
But the black spear in his hand lightly tapped.
Buzz!
In an instant, time froze!
The killing move—Inch of Time!
When Dororo came to his senses, the Black Death God's spear had already pierced through his head.
"A mere Tenth Stage, and you still dare to fire a second shot? Isn't that an insult to me?"
Fang Xing slowly holstered his gun and let out a cold harrumph.
At this moment, the human fleet's reinforcements finally arrived at the scene, but all they could do was start cleaning up the battlefield and eliminating Dororo's Imperial Legion.
Fang Xing strode onto the deck of the flagship with his hands clasped behind his back.
A Ninth Stage Mecha Pilot emerged, "Commander Victor, I am the leader of this fleet. You can call me Victor... During your disappearance, Chief Executive Zio Ers was deeply concerned about your safety..."
'Oh, so he's from Zio Ers.'
Fang Xing understood.
Unknown to him, Victor's heart was also filled with astonishment.
Although Fang Xing, the God of Martial Arts, was a Ninth Stage practitioner even without his mecha, matching Victor's level, the casual manner in which he killed a peak Tenth Stage expert still left Victor in awe and shock.
No one knew better than Victor how troublesome that Huoluo Emperor was, yet he had died so easily. The final scene, where he seemed to intentionally remain still and was headshot, was simply unbelievable.
"Give me a communicator. To prevent being tracked, I've discarded all my original communication devices..."
After a brief chat with Victor, Fang Xing boldly made his request.
Hours later, inside the rest area.
After activating the communicator and verifying his identity, Fang Xing was greeted by a flood of messages.
"Victoria, Nan Gong Xue, Liu Wei..."
Fang Xing skimmed through these messages without replying to each one. Instead, he turned his attention to the trending news.
Even after a few years, the news of the destruction of the Augustine Estate on Blue Star was still a hot topic.
Of course, no one knew the true culprit, and there was no suspicion towards Fang Xing, as he had an alibi for his absence.
"Besides... the other news is tightly sealed."
Fang Xing glanced at his contact list and eventually dialed a number.
Beep!
A projection appeared before him, and it was Xu Sanyang!
"Fang Xing, I'm so glad you're safe."
Xu Sanyang smiled slightly.
"Of course I'm fine... I just discarded my communicator for an easier escape..."
Fang Xing laughed, "Finding your communicator intact is indeed surprising."
The previous Xu Sanyang had shown signs of self-destruction, and Fang Xing had always worried that he might directly seek out Huoluo Tribe experts during their previous escape attempt.
He never expected Xu Sanyang to return to the Federation alive.
"I was lucky. After escaping for a while, I encountered the Seashattering Divine Warrior, and with his spatial ability, we barely managed to break through the encirclement."
Xu Sanyang smiled, but his eyes were grave, "Unfortunately... Heng Dong was besieged by several Huoluo Emperors in the heart of the Huoluo Tribe's territory and met an unfortunate end..."
"What? Heng Dong actually...?"
Fang Xing was shocked.
Although he had guessed that the Blue Star Federation would suffer heavy losses, he still found it hard to believe that even a Tenth Stage expert had perished.
Alright...
For the current Fang Xing, Tenth and Eleventh Stages were not a big deal. Let them die.
"Unknowingly, I've become the top combat power of the Blue Star Federation?"
After hanging up the call, Fang Xing's heart was filled with complex emotions.
The Tenth Stage experts of the Blue Star Federation were undoubtedly at the top, and Eleventh Stage experts were extremely rare.
At least, Fang Xing only knew of one, the founding principal of Saint Armor University.
Within the entire Federation, there were no Twelfth Stage experts, only a few who could temporarily burst out with Twelfth Stage power by relying on taboo weapons from the technological side.
Once the Thirteenth Stage Creator awakened and turned against humanity, the fate of humans would be sealed.
"Sigh... I didn't realize that I've become one of the tallest humans in the Blue Star Federation."
"Fortunately, even if I'm not strong enough, I still have the True Spirit Talisman as a backup..."
"When the Great Sun Buddha Divine Palm reaches perfection, and the three energy fields of essence, energy, and spirit unite, it will be the day I confront the Creator head-on."
"That day doesn't seem too far away..."
This was not what Fang Xing desired, as he had the Golden Finger and would naturally want more time. Ideally, he would wait until he reached the Heavenly Immortal Realm or even the Chaos Realm before revealing his hand.
But the reality was that the Creator of the Primary Universe was gradually awakening, and there might not be much time left.

Feeling unwell, the second chapter will be posted later.
