Chapter 493: The Womb Realm
Chapter 493: The Womb Realm
Whoosh!
The jet-black crystal, as if drawn by an invisible force, fell straight into Fang Xing's palm.
"A Divine Crystal of the Dark Angel?"
"It's filled with corruption and pollution, and a deity's schemes... If you want to use it, it must be purified first."
Fang Xing examined it and gave a casual assessment.
"A Divine Crystal of an Angel?"
Fang Qiong watched this scene, feeling like the Dark Ether within her was about to be stirred.
After David's sacrifice, she was no longer bound, and the previous curse had turned into the best nourishment, making her feel like she could break through the second Great Limit at any moment.
Given time, breaking the third and fourth limits would be within her grasp.
Perhaps this Divine Crystal could be used to help a Mystic Warrior break through the Five Great Limits? Mystic Warriors were powerful, often with combat strength one realm higher than their rank. If a Mystic Warrior could break through the Five Great Limits and reach the rank of an Angel, wouldn't they be able to challenge deities?
'No... How could a deity have the same rank as mortals?'
Fang Qiong shook her head, suppressing this thought in her heart.
At this moment, looking again, the Gran City Ruins from the Golden Era were rapidly collapsing.
The steel forest of skyscrapers was blown away by the wind, turning into flying ash.
Endless Ether poured in, causing the space here to gradually become illusory.
"Is this... the Hidden Realm collapsing after David's death?"
"Not long from now, this place will become like most areas in the Ether World, with only some broken walls remaining..."
For some reason, Fang Qiong felt like crying.
"Don't cry, or you'll die or fall..."
Fang Xing suddenly spoke.
"Why?" Fang Qiong forced back her urge to cry, feeling countless doubts rising in her heart.
"Hehe, Great Deity, I wonder what business you have with a mere mortal like me?"
Fang Xing smiled faintly.
"Oliver was an Angel I had my eye on, and you killed him..."
The Raven Shadow's voice was hoarse, like a mixture of a crow and an owl, making one feel uncomfortable, "In you, I see no fate..."
"Hehe, Great Deity, I wonder what business you have with a mere mortal like me?"
Fang Xing smiled faintly.
"Oliver was an Angel I had my eye on, and you killed him..."
The Raven Shadow's voice was hoarse, "Of course, I don't care about a mere Angel, but I care about a mortal's attitude... You are special, perhaps you are the true Blasphemer, able to ascend to 'False God' without the need for a deity's promotion..."
Those promoted by deities and constrained by them are called 'Angels', while those who ascend on their own are 'False Gods'.
"But... the Six Gods are so high above, don't you wish to become a true deity?"
The Raven Shadow's voice held a hint of temptation, as it was the deity in charge of corruption, "Join me... I've tried many interesting things, and now I believe that causing a deity's fall is a meaningful and challenging task... At that time, I might consider promoting you as a new deity..."
"A deity?"
Fang Qiong's heart trembled, "Can he become a deity?"
"Hehe... As expected of the deity in charge of darkness, once I agree, I might immediately fall?"
Fang Xing chuckled and shook his head, "It seems that David here was a trap you set up long ago, and who falls into it is entirely up to fate's guidance... You trapped Oliver, and even the God of History wasn't enough, you even want to trap me?"
"It seems you're refusing my good intentions."
The Raven Shadow didn't seem to move much, but the Raven Shadow expanded.
"Ah!"
Fang Qiong suddenly realized that the shadow beneath her had turned into an abyss, about to pull her in.
In the face of such immense power, a Mystic Warrior could hardly resist.
But at this very moment, a black hand appeared, grabbing and pulling her away.
"Is it the Hand of Darkness? Brother?"
Fang Qiong's face was filled with worry as she looked at Fang Xing, her expression changing.
Fang Xing, having pushed her away, was now enveloped by the shadow, and with a 'whoosh', he fell into the shadow's abyss.
In the darkness, the hoarse voice continued, "Hehe... Truly naive."
The Raven's Shadow laughed, "Save her, and you lose your chance... Is this human affection? I like this body of yours, so I'll take it..."
Before his words could land, a surge of darkness rushed into Fang Xing's body, seeping through his pores.
"Oh? It seems... you are indeed not a mortal ascending to godhood."
Fang Xing's expression was peculiar, his hands pressed together in a gesture of respect. "I, too, have encountered someone who desires to take what's mine... Thank you..."
"What?"
The Raven Lord sensed something amiss, and then realized the situation.
As Fang Xing's hands came together, a terrifying Great Sun figure emerged from his body.
It stood as if atop an endless expanse of time and space, an unyielding celestial body with an indescribable Vajra shadow within.
This Vajra had three heads and six arms, each arm forming a mudra, grasping a different etheric power.
Machine, Blood, Stone, Heart, Darkness, and History...
All six ethers were under his control, forming the 'Six Void Time Wheel Emptiness Vajra'!
Above the Vajra's head, a rainbow appeared, symbolizing his Dharmic nature reaching the 'Rainbow Transformation' realm!
Nirvana of the flesh, Rainbow Transformation of the Dharmic nature... the unity of spirit and flesh, the Buddha!
At this moment, the black arm representing 'Darkness' among the 'Six Void Time Wheel Emptiness Vajra' moved, forming the 'Sun Wheel Seal'!
A Great Sun furnace emerged, trapping the 'Raven's Shadow' within.
"What... what kind of ritual is this?"
"What kind of seal is this? How can it trap me? Impossible... I am a deity in the Ether World... It's impossible to be defeated by a mortal!"
The hoarse voice suddenly turned sharp, but to no avail!
As the Great Sun furnace appeared, a Great Sun mark also formed between Fang Xing's eyebrows.
Black lines traced his body, converging on his back, transforming into mysterious feather marks.
It resembled a pitch-black raven, yet it also had falling fire, turning into the Great Sun Golden Crow Diagram.
"This is my Mystic Sect's highest achievement, the Great Light Womb Realm Mandala!"
Fang Xing spoke calmly.
With his hands forming seals, lotuses bloomed, enveloping the Great Sun Golden Crow within.
The lotus womb contained the 'Raven's Shadow', landing within Fang Xing's body, yet also seemingly outside him.
Boom!
Along with the blooming of three thousand lotuses, the chanting of three thousand Dragon-Headed Vajras, and the dancing of three thousand heavenly maidens... a Time Wheel City suddenly opened at that spot!
The 'Six Void Time Wheel Emptiness Vajra' descended, sitting cross-legged in the city, transforming into the Six Void Time Wheel Emptiness Vajra Dharma Altar.
The Raven's Shadow was suppressed beneath the altar, unable to leak even a breath, let alone make a sound.
"I knew it... when it comes to the struggle for an angel-class being, there will definitely be a deity involved... You think this is a trap you set up? Unbeknownst to you... this is also a trap I set up!"
Fang Xing smiled, "Imprisoning a deity, slowly researching it, will lay the foundation for my future ascension to godhood... Not only that, my goal is to become a God Above Gods, the Creator God... Since the six ethers can be mutually converted, there must be a higher ether, perhaps named [Radiance]... or [Sun]?"
Perhaps, for the hidden beings of this world, imprisoning a deity and replacing them in ascension is an act of great defiance.
But for Fang Xing, this was just the beginning, even the position of a Dark Path God was merely a stepping stone.
As long as he was given time, with his proficiency panel, he would surely ascend.
He shook his clothes and arrived at the ruins of the hidden realm.
Fang Qiong stood there, her eyes wide, witnessing everything: "Brother... what happened?"
She had only seen Fang Xing fall into the raven's shadow and then emerge, while the Dark Path deity had disappeared without a trace.
"Nothing... I just defeated that Dark Path deity, that's all."
Fang Xing smiled faintly.
Although his experiences were legendary, there was no need to elaborate.
'The series of seals, secrets, and rituals I used to bind the Dark Path deity... in this world, they would likely hold extremely strong symbolic significance. Once written down as a secret transmission, it would be a forbidden level... In my Mystic Sect, it would also be the most supreme dharma, perhaps named the Great Sun Sutra?'
Before Fang Xing, no mortal had ever defeated a deity, let alone ascended to godhood.
But at this moment, such a possibility truly existed, and it would not be an exaggeration to say it opened a path for a hundred generations.
"Let's go."
As Fang Xing prepared to leave with Fang Qiong, his expression suddenly changed, looking towards a certain spot in the Ether World.
At that moment, an elderly man emerged from the ruins.
He was dressed in a gentleman's suit, leaning on a cane, appearing aged and decrepit, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose.
Upon seeing Fang Xing, he smiled amicably, "For the Secret History, everything that happened here today is an absolute secret, even worms wouldn't know... Am I right, Master of the Mystic Sect?"
"God of History..."
Fang Xing nodded in acknowledgment, knowing that this deity would never want the forbidden ritual that could seal a deity to be spread, challenging the position of the gods.
If not for his fear of Fang Xing, of being unable to defeat him, the deity would surely do everything to eradicate him.
