Chapter 729: Chapter 676: Sumeru Moving Mountain_3
It need not be said that once the wilderness reclamation was successful, it could immediately become another fertile ground for the human race. If mortals were to proliferate in large numbers, it might even become the one hundredth ’territory’ of the Earth Immortal Realm’s human race. The cultivators who took part in the initial reclamation would gain vast opportunities, making breakthroughs in succession, eventually establishing sects like the Star Sect, which could exert its influence for tens of thousands of years, thrilling all directions, and even be recorded in history.
After all, the human race initially took up only a corner of the Earth Immortal Realm.
The expansion to the current 99 territories was clearly achieved through opening up new lands!
Or rather... by plundering lands from alien races!
There were quite a few alien races in the Earth Immortal Realm, but they were continuously being exterminated.
The remaining defeated races either fled to the ends of the earth or became slaves to great cultivators, like the Wing Tribe under Changqingzi...
Lost in thought, Fang Xi’s expression suddenly changed.
A token emerged in his hand, glittering with starlight, dazzlingly brilliant.
But just a moment ago, one of the stars had suddenly extinguished!
Following that star, one after another, the stars began to go out in quick succession...
"It’s the Qianyuan Squad!"
Fang Xi’s eyebrows rose sharply as he immediately flew towards the location of this Nascent Soul cultivator’s team.
"Hold on, hold on..."
"The Transcendent God senior is almost here!"
A Nascent Soul late-stage cultivator, covered in black armor that revealed only a pair of eyes, spoke with an urgent and powerful voice.
Around him, pitch-black banners released a black mist.
In the mist, skulls incessantly spewed out a bone-chilling deathly aura, forming a tight defense.
Within this wilderness, a grey-white silhouette was moving swiftly.
It reached one of the Nascent Soul cultivators and simply pounced!
The Nascent Soul cultivator didn’t even have time to scream. His protective light flickered momentarily before shattering, and his body inside the black armor turned into a dried corpse.
"Indeed... the wilderness is teeming with such strange creatures."
The other Nascent Soul cultivators hurriedly took out talismans like ’Positive Yang Talisman,’ ’Evil-Exorcising Talisman,’ and others, scrambling to flee.
While clearing the area, they had somehow encountered this grey-white shadow.
It had already taken the lives of several fellow Nascent Soul cultivators!
What was even more terrifying was that the originally half-human, half-beast grey-white shadow was gradually taking on a human shape!
On its body, several agonized faces had suddenly appeared, which were the faces of the several great black-armored Nascent Soul cultivators who had been drained of their essence blood and died.
The grey-white silhouette flashed, this time targeting the Nascent Soul late-stage great cultivator.
The banners, black mist, and skulls around him seemed to pose no hindrance to the grey-white shadow.
With a slight pounce, it landed on the body of this great Nascent Soul cultivator.
’My life is over!’
The heart of this great Nascent Soul cultivator was filled with despair, as the shadow was too sharp; the stricken Nascent Soul cultivators didn’t even have a chance to escape with their Nascent Souls!
Just then, a thunderclap suddenly rang in his ears!
Although the thunder was immense, it wasn’t masculine but carried an undercurrent of a sinister vibe.
It was the ’Demon Yin Thunder’!
Boom!
The Thunder Light moved, and the grey-white silhouette was bounced away.
Fang Xi stood with his hands behind his back, in midair, looking at the strange beast that had appeared by chance.
"A malignant spirit?"
He muttered to himself, ’This rather has the flair of the Red Sun World...’
The Earth Immortal Realm, being the source of countless worlds, naturally had many characteristics of the Lower Realms.
The emergence of a evil spirit similar to those in the Red Sun World was not surprising.
’However, it seems... thunder is not very effective against this creature.’
Fang Xi watched the swiftly retreating grey-white shadow and slightly opened his mouth.
A jet-black Demon Flame flew out, catching up with the grey-white silhouette.
A speck of the six jet-black Demon Flames barely vibrated before it enveloped the grey-white shadow.
Yet subjected to the burning of the Demon Flames, the opponent’s aura barely changed!
’Wrong element?’
Fang Xi’s hands formed a spell; the six Demon Flames kept changing colors.
From the Three Yang Holy Fire, to the Ten Thousands Poisonous Demon Flame, and then to Ghost Fire of Yellow Spring!
When the six Demon Flames were all transformed into Ghost Fire of Yellow Spring, the grey-white shadow let out a scream and suddenly opened its mouth to inhale!
A small amount of Ghost Fire of Yellow Spring was drawn in, highlighting the grey-white color of its body even more prominently.
Seeing this, Fang Xi’s expression changed and he rapidly intensified the hand gestures.
The color of Ghost Fire of Yellow Spring faded, turning into a red lotus.
Crackle!
The red lotus enveloped the grey-white shadow and bloomed petal by petal in midair, appearing exceptionally beautiful.
But the many Nascent Soul cultivators kept retreating.
They could clearly sense that each petal of the red lotus carried the power to easily incinerate them!
One red lotus bloomed.
In the residual warmth, flames continued to burn all around.
And beyond the flames, a grey-white silhouette was fleeing into the distance!
"To actually ignore the Spiritual Flame..."
Fang Xi let out a cold huff, and the Mysterious Dark Banner appeared in his hand.
With a single flick, a vast black river emerged, sweeping up the grey-white shadow and swallowing it into the surging black water!
"Thank you, senior, for saving our lives!"
Seeing that the peculiar entity was suppressed, the many Nascent Soul cultivators breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed in gratitude.
"Enough, continue the search!"
Fang Xi waved his hand dismissively and, turning into a beam of demonic light, disappeared into the sky.
...
Sumeru Moving Mountain.
After completing his mission, Fang Xi returned to his Dongfu to rest and recuperate.
Following the cleanup of the wilderness, he was granted a month’s leave.
After all, a few Nascent Souls had perished, and the Yaksha Camp needed to be replenished.
For a Transcendent God cultivator, a month was only enough to recover a bit of Divine Consciousness, with barely enough time to care for magical treasures!
How else could it be said that opening new lands was arduous?
After meditating and adjusting his breath to regain his strength, Fang Xi then headed to Fairy Yunxi’s Dongfu.
