Chapter 637: The Assassin's Strike on the Emperor
Chapter 637: The Assassin's Strike on the Emperor
In the Imperial Capital of the Dazhou Divine Dynasty, a distant flash of sword light pierced through the sky like a white rainbow.
Then, chaos and clamor erupted.
"Has it begun?" Fang Xing muttered as he gazed in the direction of the landing.
The Mirage Paper House Paradise in his hand instantly expanded, and a layer of boundary between reality and illusion emerged.
The sky turned gray, and countless joss papers fell like heavy snow, covering the five golden statues.
Even with the chaos in the Imperial Capital due to the assassination attempt on the Dazhou Emperor, this situation couldn't be ignored.
Along with the teleportation glow, several figures appeared one after another.
They were none other than the purple-robed Chief Astronomer, Chief Fate Reader, and the leader of the Night Watch—all semi-divine beings!
Upon witnessing this scene, their faces contorted with a mix of shock and fury. "How dare you, you thief!"
The Chief Fate Reader lifted his hand, and the space within this region seemed to freeze in an instant.
Even the gentle breeze ceased, and the falling joss papers appeared frozen in midair, as if encased in ice.
Time had come to a standstill!
Amidst this stillness, the Chief Fate Reader's figure flickered, transforming into a purple shadow that rushed towards Fang Xing.
In the next moment, Fang Xing suddenly moved. With a single downward push of his hand, an odd force landed on the Chief Fate Reader, causing him to lose his balance.
Before him, a palm as white as jade appeared.
Slap! Fang Xing's palm descended, carrying the might of Mount Wuzhi and the Sky-Blocking Hand, pressing down on the Chief Fate Reader's head.
Puff! In the next instant, the head of this semi-divine Chief Astronomer exploded.
The wind howled as the air finally began to stir.
The Chief Astronomer's eyes widened in shock at the sight.
This enemy seemed to have crossed that boundary, igniting the divine flame, and entering the realm of semi-divinities!
Indeed, after wandering for a few years, Fang Xing had leveled up twice and was now a level 25 Druid!
For the Druid profession, every five levels marked a significant threshold.
Reaching level 25 meant stepping into the semi-divine realm!
And from level 30 onwards, one entered the domain of the divine!
"Originally... I thought I could hold on until I became a True Divinity, but it seems I've underestimated the heroes of the world."
Fang Xing chuckled softly.
War is a matter of life and death, unpredictable as clouds and swift as thunder!
The sudden strike by the Dazhou Divine Dynasty on the Beyond perfectly exemplified this principle!
However, only elite forces were deployed, and no field armies were mobilized, so even with Fang Xing's secret connection to the True Demon Lord, the news remained unknown.
"However, revealing our hand now is still acceptable. As long as we secure those golden statues..."
Rustling sounds filled the air as, within moments, the joss papers completely covered the golden statues, not a hint of golden light escaping.
Then, the five golden statues simultaneously vanished, entering Fang Xing's Mirage Paper House Paradise.
Just at that moment, rapid gong sounds echoed through the Imperial Capital.
"Impossible, the Bell of the Sorrowful Dragon is ringing?"
"Your Majesty... the Dragon Emperor has fallen!"
The leader of the Night Watch was startled but immediately turned and flew towards the Emperor's direction without a second thought.
With the death of the Dazhou Emperor, he had failed in his duty.
Moreover, the power vacuum in the heart of the Dazhou Divine Dynasty demanded intricate maneuvering.
As a semi-divine being with personal ambitions, he couldn't afford to waste his life fighting Fang Xing, a formidable enemy capable of easily hunting down semi-divinities.
And as the leader of the Night Watch fled, the Chief Astronomer knew the situation was beyond redemption.
"Sir... were you the mastermind behind this?"
His face showed signs of fatigue and age, and his cloudy eyes fixed on Fang Xing.
Fang Xing smiled, and a divine light flashed across his body.
In an instant, his figure disappeared.
Nature Teleportation!
This was the new talent he acquired upon reaching level 24 as a Druid, allowing him to teleport to any sacred grove he had established.
...
Beyond the Mortal Realm.
At the mountain gate of the Flying Sword Sect.
The bamboo sea was lush and verdant.
The Executioner's Left Envoy, Poison-Hand Scholar, White Dharma King, and Black Dharma King had all gathered, gazing at the army of the Dazhou Divine Dynasty.
"The Dazhou army hasn't made any significant movements; these are the original troops stationed at the Three Despairs Pass... But they've transported six golden statues here..."
The Left Envoy's face twisted into a crazed smile as he observed the scene, "If I give it my all, I might be able to drag one or two statues away as an offering to our master."
"Damn it! Why are we fighting here to protect the Nature Sect's sacred plants?"
The Black and White Protectors were perplexed.
"Because... it's the divine edict," the Poison-Hand Scholar whispered.
"In that case, there's no problem," the Black Dharma King snarled. "Let's offer our master the sacrifice he loves the most..."
Rumble!
The six massive golden statues began to move slowly, each step causing a minor earthquake.
Just then, within the sacred grove of the Flying Sword Sect, the ten thousand acres of bamboo sea suddenly churned, and Nature's Radiance burst forth, forming an arched gate.
Fang Xing's figure emerged from within.
Despite his long journey, he hadn't aged a day.
"After wandering for half my life, I return still as a youth..."
Fang Xing had chosen the Flying Sword Sect, the sect closest to the Three Despairs Pass, as his teleportation point, knowing the urgency of the situation.
At this moment, seeing the Poison-Hand Scholar bringing all the resources of the Executioner's Sect from beyond the mortal realm, he couldn't help but feel somewhat satisfied with the Scholar's work.
"Lord Fang Xing!" The Poison-Hand Scholar bowed respectfully. "The Great Zhou army is at our doorstep. What should we do now?"
His tone was calm, and even if Fang Xing were to send him to his death, he probably wouldn't hesitate for a moment.
This was the terrifying nature of a fanatic believer!
"Six Golden Statues, excellent... Now we have them all."
Fang Xing flew out of the Flying Sword Sect's territory and stood in the sky, gazing at the six golden statues and the Great Zhou generals, a slight smile appearing on his lips, "Everything, it's time to bring it all to an end."
"This person is... the Ancestral Patriarch of the Nature Sect?" On the back of a strange magical beast, a Great Zhou commander looked at Fang Xing and immediately recalled the intelligence from beyond the mortal realm.
"A mere Yang Shen Hou Jing dares to stand in the way of our Great Zhou Celestial Army?" The Great Zhou general smiled coldly. Even if the Poison-Hand Scholar were to pray fervently for divine grace, he was only a semi-god in terms of power.
The most recent news was that the little guy had written a book about the six statues.
Now that the advantage was on his side, how could the enemy turn the tables?
...
All of this was seen by Fang Xing, who was within the Celestial Realm.
"Destruction... You actually plotted to assassinate the main god's descendant in secret?" Outside the Celestial Realm, the Lord of War let out a deafening roar and actively charged into the Celestial Realm.
After all, true divinities would never let their true forms leave their divine realms.
So, the ones who came here were divine avatars.
Although divine avatars were also precious, if they were to die, their divine power would be greatly diminished.
If too many died, they might even end up like Fang Xing, with their true forms falling into slumber.
But this was still better than the true form's demise.
Now, Fang Xing's plot had clearly infuriated the Great Zhou pantheon.
These Great Zhou divinities had already decided that even if they had to pay a price, they would completely break through and destroy the God of Destruction's Celestial Realm!
Rumble! Within the darkened realm of destruction.
Scene after scene of war shadows appeared, like a flood of steel, sweeping across the land.
Fortunately, Fang Xing didn't have many praying followers, otherwise, this wave of attacks would have severely damaged the foundation of his Celestial Realm.
In the void, several shadows appeared.
It was the God of Shadows and Thieves. He nimbly leaped, and the dagger in his hand slashed across the necks of several Beasts of Destruction.
This tiny dagger was insignificant compared to the massive size of the Beasts of Destruction, but the paralysis and fatal effects it carried caused these beasts to fall one by one, instantly meeting their demise!
"The God of Destruction's power hasn't fully recovered since his last slumber..."
"This time, the price we pay should be less than we imagined..."
A fleeting smile appeared on the face of the Goddess of Love.
If the true form of a deity were to be killed, it would be a true demise!
"Destruction... Come out and fight!"
The God of War transformed into a colossal war giant that stood tall, gazing at the dilapidated temple and the youth perched on the Throne of Destruction. He let out a roar.
He had once struck the God of Destruction, and now he was confident in himself, even within the God of Destruction's Celestial Realm!
Within the Realm of War, the horns had already sounded, and massive elite armies had been mobilized.
Even the Lord of War had prepared to sacrifice all his avatars here!
Today's battle must result in the slaying of a god!
"God of War... Our battlefield is not here."
On the Throne of Destruction, Fang Xing's true form smiled slightly, and then his body transformed into a meteor, beginning to fall downward.
"What?"
The God of Shadows and Thieves was astonished when he saw this, "He... He actually abandoned his Celestial Realm? His true form leaves the divine realm... and descends into the mundane world?"
"Haha... This little rat is seeking death!"
The God of War laughed.
If true divinities gained immense enhancements within their divine realms, then falling into the mundane world would result in terrible suppression.
Within the Realm of Destruction, they might have to sacrifice several avatars and fight for many years to completely kill the God of Destruction's true form.
But in the mundane world, as long as they found the opponent, the God of War was confident that he could kill the opponent's true form with just one of his avatars!
"You're bringing death upon yourself!"
The God of War roared.
...
At the same time.
Beyond the mortal realm.
Fang Xing, who was in the sky, was startled.
The horizon seemed to flash with a destroying meteor, and in an instant, it entered his body.
He and his true form were divided between god and devil, but their consciousness was unified.
Now, they had directly fused!
"Ah!"
Fang Xing roared, and his body instantly swelled, transforming into a colossal giant!
Surrounded by the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water, his 'Nature's Avatar' exuded a powerful aura, resembling a deity!
No! Now, he was a deity! This was the new talent obtained by a level 25 Druid—Harmony with Nature!
At this moment, on the attribute panel, lines of data flashed crazily:
[You have transcended into a divine being! Divine panel fusion! Enter the Form of a Saint!]
[You have acquired an additional profession, which has been recalculated into your level!]
[You have acquired divine powers: Reality Alteration, Divine Shield, and Divine Power Boost!]
[You have acquired new talents: Fire Attribute Immunity, Acid Damage Immunity, Lightning Damage Immunity, Frost Damage Immunity...]
