Chapter 551: The Battle Situation
Chapter 551: The Battle Situation
True Immortal Realm.
"The Ten Thousand Immortal Sword Array! Activate!"
Fang Xing's cultivation clone, still in the form of a young man with a sword-like brow and starry eyes, lightly tapped his immortal sword.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Numerous 'Fang Xing' figures emerged from the river of time, each exuding a formidable sword aura, forming a sword array.
Countless sword lights transformed into a cage, tightly binding the malevolent dragon in the center.
"Retrieve!"
Beside him, Bixia Fairy held a miniature beast pen.
She formed intricate hand seals, and with each seal, a heavenly technique struck the pen.
The pen immediately flew out, growing larger as it trapped the malevolent dragon within.
"Haha... This is the last malevolent dragon. Once we capture this dragon, we'll have many years of leisure..."
Luoyun True Immortal held a yellow-skinned gourd, initially intending to assist Fang Xing, but upon seeing the sword array, he realized his help wasn't needed. He swapped the gourd for a red-skinned wine gourd and took a hearty swig of immortal wine, "Friend Fang, this 'Ten Thousand Immortal Sword Array' combined with your clone technique is truly unmatched in the world. I doubt there's anyone in the True Immortal Realm who can rival you..."
"I only knew you as a Sword Immortal, but I never expected your sword skills to be so sharp... If it weren't for this task to suppress the malevolent dragon, I wonder how long you would have remained hidden?"
Bixia Fairy smiled coyly.
"Not at all... The True Immortal Realm is filled with geniuses. My sword array technique is nothing special..."
Fang Xing waved his hand, "Let's go register for the task."
...
After leaving the branch of the Dao Court, the three agreed on a time for their next gathering and bid farewell.
Fang Xing soared into the sky, riding a sword light, and returned to his own cave abode.
"Hmm... Finally, the task is complete. I can support my main body at any time..."
He sat in a meditative posture, placing the flying sword on his knee, deep in thought.
For this Transcendence inheritance, Fang Xing didn't hold high hopes, but if it was within his power, he would still give it a try.
The cultivation clone's primary purpose was to stir up trouble.
If he could capture Reid, Green Tower, or even Inquist's traces... he wouldn't mind taking action again and bankrupting them!
...
Meanwhile, in the Ashen Secret Realm.
In the Skyflow River, silver-colored spatial blades slashed at Fang Xing's body.
Swish! Swish!
The Blood Mountain's robe fluttered, deflecting most of the attacks.
Fang Xing's movement technique was peculiar, allowing him to navigate the numerous spatial rifts with ease, eventually escaping the final stretch without incident.
"This last stretch is more troublesome to dodge, so it's better to charge through directly..."
Fang Xing gazed at the dense spatial blades behind him, feeling a bit overwhelmed, "The dangerous areas in this secret realm are truly bizarre... This Skyflow River even hinders instant teleportation. If I were to attempt it recklessly, I might end up in a deadly situation."
He glanced at his slightly damaged blood-red robe, and with a thought, it instantly restored itself.
"Next, I can proceed to the Ashen Continent without any obstacles..."
"On the Ashen Continent, there are ten inheritance pillars. Only after occupying them can the next step of the inheritance be activated... That's when the real bloody battle will begin."
"The Transcendence inheritance?"
Fang Xing felt a hint of anticipation.
Speaking of Transcendence, he only had a rough idea of it at the moment.
Aside from the attribute panel, the best inheritance he possessed was from the Eternal Realm's Pangu Wu.
Obtaining a Transcendence inheritance would be excellent.
However, if it required too much effort and risk, he would rather not.
After all, obtaining a Transcendence inheritance didn't guarantee the achievement of Transcendence.
...
Ashen Continent.
Upon arriving on this land, Fang Xing immediately formed a series of hand seals.
Instantly, he received numerous communication messages.
This communication spell was issued before they departed from the Great Void Universe, but unfortunately, its range was limited, only usable on the Ashen Continent.
Nonetheless, it provided a basic means of contact, preventing them from feeling lost like headless flies.
"Is this the foundation of the three peak civilizations?"
Fang Xing's eyes flashed with a glow as he quickly skimmed through the messages, "So many Lawmaster Fifth Tiers on the Ashen Continent? There's even a suspected Lawmaster Sixth Tier?"
After the initial shock, he quickly realized, "Indeed, some Lawmaster Fifth Tiers may not be willing to join the peak civilizations, choosing instead to be cosmic wanderers... Only the Transcendence inheritance could attract them."
"The Blood Hell God Emperor has broken through? He also possesses Lawmaster Fifth Tier combat power? But in the secret realm, he's still my ally..."
"The Devourer, a powerful being from the Beast Civilization, is suspected to have Lawmaster Sixth Tier combat power?"
"The Great Calamity Ymir fought the Insect Queen 'Ling Mu', resulting in a draw..."
...
In an instant, Fang Xing learned about all the Lawmaster Fifth Tiers and the distribution of power on the Ashen Continent.
"On the Ashen Continent, even Lawmaster Fourth Tiers dare not act alone... There are battle formations consisting of hundreds and thousands of Lawmasters, constantly clashing..."
"The ten inheritance pillars... The Starry Sky, the Insect Race, and the Beast Civilization each occupy two pillars, with numerous Lawmasters guarding each one... The remaining four are still being contested? There must be powerful beings among them who don't belong to the three peak civilizations..."
"Indeed, the Ashen Continent seems to have been crafted by a powerful being. The constraints on combat here are much greater than in the outside world... Even a battle between Law Domain cultivators wouldn't result in the continent's destruction..."
Fang Xing identified the direction and flew towards an unoccupied inheritance pillar.
According to the information obtained earlier, this stone pillar numbered 'Eight' is the primary target of the Starry Sky Civilization.
Hundreds of thousands of Twelve Realm cultivators and thousands of Lawmasters, led by the Absolute Sword, Red Star, have been gathered to fight for it.
Fang Xing immediately decided to go and witness the battle.
While in flight, he suddenly felt something amiss.
Indeed, not long after, a 'black cloud' appeared on the horizon.
Within the black clouds were various strange beasts, led by a giant star beast with a body covered in pitch-black scales and nine heads.
Surrounding the star beast was a swirling mass of dark clouds, filled with countless bolts of lightning dancing wildly.
"Thunder Cloud Star Beast... This is a relatively famous Tier 4 Lawmaster among the Beast Civilization."
"Behind it are one hundred and twenty-seven beasts and energy lifeforms... This is clearly a hunting squad from the Beast Civilization."
Fang Xing's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Human Lawmaster..."
"Not on the special watch list..."
"Hmm, I remember this was mentioned in the previous intelligence report, ranking over nine hundred on the Starry Sky Ranking, Fang Xing..."
The Thunder Cloud Star Beast also noticed Fang Xing, and its large vertical pupils narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of delight: "This is an excellent target!"
With the configuration of this hunting squad, they would flee at the sight of a Tier 5 Lawmaster.
Some powerful Tier 4 Lawmasters could fight them to a standstill.
Fang Xing, with his quasi-Tier 4 strength, was the perfect target for slaughter! If his cultivation was any lower, the Thunder Cloud Star Beast might even disdain the meager amount of battle merits and spoils.
"Starry Sky Ranking?"
Fang Xing was taken aback, then smiled: "That was so long ago... It's quite nostalgic."
However, since he broke into the top one thousand rankings, he had rarely used his true strength, merely maintaining his position. This had clearly given the Thunder Cloud Star Beast the wrong impression.
'Based on the strength I've displayed, I'm indeed at the peak of Tier 3 Lawmasters, barely holding my own against Tier 4 Lawmasters with the help of Blood Mountain...'
Fang Xing smiled slightly; 'But starting today, the information will need to be updated...'
He raised his hand and took out the Hunter King's Bow.
Hss!
Fang Xing held the bow in his left hand and exerted a slight force with his right, summoning a 'Moon-Shooting Arrow'.
Clang!
He released his right hand, and the bowstring vibrated like thunder!
An arrow soared like a rising moon, exploding in mid-air and transforming into countless meteors, bombarding the dark clouds where the Thunder Cloud Star Beast resided.
"Soul attack? Not good, you've broken through?"
The Thunder Cloud Star Beast roared, its body surrounded by dark clouds and thunderbolts.
A meteor descended, ignoring all physical defenses, and penetrated its eyes.
The Thunder Cloud Star Beast's gaze became dazed, and its aura rapidly weakened, appearing severely injured: "Soul attack? Damn it..."
Behind it, Tier 1 and Tier 2 Lawmaster beasts lost all vitality and turned into corpses.
"Such a powerful soul attack... Not only has he broken through to Tier 4 Lawmaster, but he's also one of the stronger ones? Let's go!"
The Thunder Cloud Star Beast roared, and beneath it, a golden rainbow bridge appeared.
The remaining Lawmaster beasts from the Beast Civilization landed on the golden rainbow bridge, and their figures instantly vanished, fleeing at an astonishing speed.
This was their squad's last line of defense, allowing them to retreat even when facing a Tier 5 Lawmaster.
However, they had never expected to suffer heavy losses due to underestimating their opponent.
"They're fast..."
Fang Xing chuckled but did not give chase.
Although he had the means to capture them all, he now intended to play the role of a formidable and tenacious Tier 4 Lawmaster. Using overly aggressive methods was unnecessary.
Or, to put it another way, if he were to use such methods, he would ensure there were no survivors!
...
Stone Pillar Number Eight.
"Kill!"
Red Star had a head of bright red hair, and in his hand, he held a battle sword.
With each swing of his sword, the insect tribe's army formation would tremble.
Behind him, the human Lawmasters' legion was engaged in battle with various beasts.
The area around Stone Pillar Number Eight had descended into chaos as they fought for control.
"As expected... The strategy provided by the think tank is correct. The Insect Tribe and the Beast Civilization have the least attention focused here, with only Fiona and Kunyu, the two Tier 5 Lawmasters..."
Red Star's eyes flashed with lightning, and his body suddenly expanded, reaching a height of ten thousand miles. His battle sword channeled the power of the Great Dao, and with a thunderous roar, it descended.
—The Slaughter Dao!
He was a Tier 5 Lawmaster, only a hair's breadth away from fully comprehending the Slaughter Dao.
For this reason, Red Star was known for his mercilessness, and he was one of the most bloodthirsty human Lawmasters.
Boom!
The power of the Great Dao swept through, and the insect tribe members it touched perished.
However, as the slaughtering sword light approached the core area of the insect tribe's formation, it was blocked by a layer of grey mist.
"Insect Queen Mother - Fiona?"
Red Star's eyes flickered.
"Red Star, if you focus on the insect tribe, you'll surely be taken advantage of by Lawmaster Kunyu..."
Fiona's upper body resembled a perfect human, while her lower body was a planet-like beehive, from which countless insects emerged.
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a colossal bat-ray beast, ten thousand miles long, burst out of the void and charged towards the human camp.
