Chapter 555: Killing a Fifth-Rank Lawmaster
Chapter 555: Killing a Fifth-Rank Lawmaster
"The spatial restraints near this Heritage Pillar are still too strong. Otherwise, I would have left the battlefield long ago, how could I still be entangled here?"
Fang Xing teleported, or rather, flashed, out of the Devouring Domain's range, transforming into a sword light and quickly fleeing.
Ever since repelling Ymir, he had randomly chosen an unclaimed Heritage Pillar to seek opportunities.
And so, he arrived at the ninth stone pillar and, as expected, witnessed a grand battle.
He succeeded in seizing the opportunity by relying on his control over space and time.
At this moment, his figure flickered, and hundreds of past selves appeared, each fleeing in different directions.
One by one, they were caught up by the blood-colored tentacles and vanished into phantoms...
"Stay!"
A bewitching voice echoed in Fang Xing's ear as he flew out for light-years.
It was the Insect Queen, Ling Jun! This Insect Queen, who was supposed to have retreated, had unexpectedly returned!
A woman with indescribable beauty stood guard ahead.
She held a blue orb treasure in her hand, and layer upon layer of illusions appeared before Fang Xing's eyes.
"A will attack?"
Fang Xing let out a cold laugh, and his martial will surged, transforming into a sky-blue giant. Every muscle on his body was perfect, and he suddenly unleashed a punch!
Boom!
The layers of illusions collapsed, revealing the true form of the Insect Queen, Ling Jun.
"A Fifth-Rank Lawmaster? Unfortunately, the Insect Race excels in soul attacks... Meeting me is their biggest mistake."
Fang Xing's soul attacks and defenses had both reached the level of a Fifth-Rank Lawmaster.
Therefore, he feared the Insect Race's Fifth-Rank Lawmasters the least!
He coldly chuckled, and the image of the Annihilation Wolf appeared between his eyebrows, its Annihilation Flame burning fiercely as it rushed into Ling Jun's body.
In an instant, Ling Jun's face turned pale, and her aura rapidly weakened, "A True Spirit attack?"
A hint of horror appeared on her face, and she quickly retreated.
"Compared to Ymir, you're too slow."
Fang Xing's Heart Power boiled, and he revealed the Annihilation Wolf image again, rushing into Ling Jun's body.
Several Pipi Dogs rushed in, causing Ling Jun's aura to rapidly decline, reaching a dangerous level.
Whoosh!
Fang Xing and his sword became one, like a white rainbow piercing through the sun, and he beheaded this beauty.
"What?"
"The Insect Race's Fifth-Rank Lawmaster, Ling Jun, is dead?"
"Is this the first Fifth-Rank Lawmaster to fall in these days?"
"The Sword Lord indeed possesses the strength of a Fifth-Rank Lawmaster..."
"I think it's just a matter of having the right counter."
"A Fifth-Rank Lawmaster... To revive one would require a hundred times the cost of a Fourth-Rank Lawmaster... Even the Eternal Ones of the Insect Race would feel the pain..."
The Four-Hooved Beast paused, a look of schadenfreude on its face.
Then...
It saw a blood-red planet appear behind Fang Xing, and the entire planet opened up, like a blooming flesh-and-blood giant flower! The petals and sepals... were like countless scarlet saw-toothed tongues, ready to devour Fang Xing.
"Annihilate!"
Fang Xing pressed his eyebrows.
The image of the Annihilation Wolf appeared, rushing into the Devourer's body, causing its actions to pause for a moment.
"It's useless... Your soul attack is powerful, but I am a Sixth-Rank Lawmaster... My soul origin is rich enough to withstand dozens, even hundreds of attacks..."
The Devourer roared, and the flesh-and-blood giant flower instantly closed, transforming back into a blood-red planet.
Moreover, the surface of the blood-red planet was incredibly calm.
"Dead?"
A hint of joy appeared in the Four-Hooved Beast's heart.
Regardless, in the end, the Beast Civilization had won.
"Damn it... Where is he?"
But the next moment, it heard the Devourer's roar.
"What? He escaped?"
"Could it be a teleport? How is it possible to teleport under the Devouring Path of a Sixth-Rank Lawmaster?"
The Four-Hooved Beast's eyes froze, and a hint of doubt crept in, "Could it be that the Devourer is trying to monopolize the heritage and is lying?"
...
The third stone pillar.
Fang Xing sat cross-legged, gazing at the heritage stone pillar before him, deep in thought:
"Jin's path, in the early stages, is somewhat different from this world, as it involves advancing through various 'professions'..."
"Upon closer examination, it's somewhat similar to the path of professionals in the Creator Universe... But in the higher stages, it's still about comprehending the rules and understanding the Great Dao..."
"In the end, the path of the Eternal One leads to transcendence, becoming a Transcender."
"What I truly need is the 'path of the Eternal One' and the 'transcendence' part... These aspects weren't mentioned in the ordinary heritage of the stone pillar but should be within the fragmented heritage."
Fang Xing was quite pleased that his cultivation clone had managed to obtain a fragmented heritage.
In the end, his cultivation clone's escape was facilitated by his true self, who communicated with the Gate of Many Worlds and sent the clone back to the True Immortal Realm.
Ever since he had fully comprehended the spatial law, he had further refined the Gate of Many Worlds, making such tasks effortless.
"However, to have accomplished this in a secret realm created by a Transcender is truly astonishing... The origin of the attribute panel is indeed a cause for concern."
Fang Xing sighed inwardly, and a strand of his consciousness entered the virtual hall.
"The fragmented heritage of this stone pillar has already condensed and been collected by Ymir."
"Have you heard? The 'Sword Lord' who defeated Ymir earlier appeared at the ninth heritage stone pillar, killing the Insect Race's Fifth-Rank Lawmaster, the Insect Queen Ling Jun, and forcefully taking the heritage from the Sixth-Rank Lawmaster Devourer!"
"Hiss... This Sword Lord, wasn't he only at the Fifth-Rank Lawmaster level in soul attacks, with the rest at the Fourth-Rank limit?"
"Haha, to repel Yu Mier, slay the Insect Queen, and escape from a Sixth-Tier Lawmaster... How could it be just a Fourth-Tier Lawmaster?"
"Indeed, the Heavenly Blade is already at the pinnacle of a Fifth-Tier Lawmaster, yet it seems he gained nothing. It's clear that the 'Sword Lord's' strength surpasses even the Heavenly Blade..."
"Fifth-Tier Lawmaster battles erupted in all directions, and it's shocking to discover that there are so many Fifth-Tier Lawmasters in our universe..."
...
Fang Xing listened to the gathered information silently, deep in thought.
'The strength of my cultivation clone is actually at the Fourth-Tier limit. It's just that my Heart Power is too mysterious, and my True Spirit's attacks can threaten even Fifth-Tier Lawmasters... But when facing the Devourer, I'm at a disadvantage. My true combat power is definitely inferior to the Heavenly Blade...'
'However, if it were my main body, it would be a different story... Even if it's a Sixth-Tier Lawmaster Devourer, if pushed to the brink, I can use that drop of Transcender's Blood on my attribute panel to enhance my True Spirit's attacks. I'm confident I can directly annihilate the Devourer... These giant flesh-and-blood lifeforms are known for their thick skin and abundant blood, but their True Spirit is their greatest weakness.'
'But using the Transcender's blood essence will undoubtedly bring many troubles later... It might backfire.'
'I'll continue my meditation for another hundred years, and then I should leave this troublesome place. After all, I came here to kill time...'
At this moment, Fang Xing's main body had already focused most of his mental power on his cultivation clone.
...
In the True Immortal Realm, within a cave abode.
Fang Xing's cultivation clone sat cross-legged, with a floating orb of light in front of him.
Inside the orb, there was a black horn with golden patterns, broken at one end.
His ten fingers danced, and spatial-temporal lotus-shaped golden and silver Sword Qi appeared, sinking into the broken horn.
Half an hour later, Fang Xing changed his incantation, and a strand of immortal fire emerged from his mouth.
Sizzle!
The pure white flames blossomed like lotuses, about to wrap around the black broken horn, but they automatically separated.
"Is this broken inheritance so mysterious?"
After a long while, Fang Xing sighed.
Since obtaining this pitch-black broken horn, he had tried various methods.
But the facts proved that this black broken horn was extraordinary.
Immune to sword and fire, impervious to water and fire—these were just the basics...
More importantly, no matter how Fang Xing meditated on the black broken horn, he couldn't comprehend anything from it.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have become so frustrated.
"Perhaps... this broken inheritance requires the stone pillars to assist in comprehension, or maybe it can only be understood within that secret realm?"
"I forcibly took it, which was clever, but I've also been punished for it?"
Fang Xing pondered for a moment, then put away the black broken horn.
Regardless, he would never bring this broken inheritance to that Ashen Secret Realm again.
"Forget it... Maybe I was too eager, which is why I couldn't comprehend it."
"Now that I have the inheritance, what's a few decades, a hundred years, or even a million years?"
"Even if, in the worst-case scenario, I end up with nothing after all this time, it's not a big deal to me. There are other paths to Transcender."
At least, that drop of Transcender's blood was waiting, and Fang Xing wasn't too keen on it yet...
He also had the Timeless Grand Sun King Mantra as a backup.
And there was also the attribute panel.
"I wonder if I can wish to go to a world with many Transcender inheritances in the future?"
Fang Xing closed his eyes and immersed himself in cultivation again.
Within his Immortal Sea and Dantian, a golden lotus swayed with brilliance. Not only had its roots and seedpods solidified, but three solid petals had also bloomed.
This represented Fang Xing's solid progress on the path of Space-Time.
...
Time passed leisurely.
One day, a paper crane flew to the entrance of Fang Xing's cave abode and transformed into a young boy, who politely knocked on the door. "Sword Immortal Fang Xing... My master invites you!"
"Oh?"
Not long after, the cave abode's door opened with a boom.
A young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes stepped out, nodded at the boy, and then calculated with his fingers, "So, I've been in seclusion for over a cycle?"
Fang Xing rose into the air on a sword beam and arrived at the Drunken Moon Pavilion.
There, he saw Bixia Xianzi in a blue robe, standing gracefully.
"It's been a long time, Xianzi. Your beauty remains unchanged, and the ethereal immortal aura around you indicates a significant improvement in your cultivation." Fang Xing smiled.
"You always like to tease me..." Bixia Xianzi glared at Fang Xing and then spoke solemnly, "I received some news, and I was eager to share it with you. But seeing your reaction, you've truly hurt my feelings."
"What news is it?"
Fang Xing's expression turned serious. This Bixia Xianzi had extensive connections and came from a powerful family, making her no ordinary person.
"It's said that the 'Carefree Immortal Lord,' who governs our immortal realm, has agreed to go to the Divine Court and accept the appointment from the Supreme Immortal Lord!"
Bixia Xianzi's words were earth-shattering: "A change is coming..."
