Chapter 747: Chapter 687: New Territory (Additional Update, Please Subscribe)_1
Decades passed in the blink of an eye.
The Jia-You Realm.
Fang Xi, too lazy to name each of the numerous Lower Realms one by one, simply assigned them names using the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
Clad in a blue robe, he carried prayer beads and a golden bell hung at his waist.
With every step he took, golden lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, and the sound of Brahma filled the air, purifying the soul.
"With these Brahma bells combined with prayer beads... they somewhat nourish the Divine Consciousness."
"However, they’re not of much use against the Heart Demons that will come later," he said.
Fang Xi reflected on this thought.
Once reaching Returning to Emptiness, the treasures one regarded as life essence during the Nascent Soul and Transcendent God stages didn’t mean as much.
In the future, when his cultivation was even more profound, he could discard these Buddhist treasures... Of course, not really throw them away, but rather trade them for resources or award them to his subordinates.
Recently, a grand war in the Earth Immortal Realm was not forthcoming, and Fang Xi sat dominant in the Mortal Realm, with a tranquil mindset.
Only after decades of laying low did he resume his journey among the worlds, not only to collect fragments of the Treasures of All Heavens but also to seek unique Spirit Plants and Spiritual Beasts to enrich the ecosystem of the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm.
"This realm..."
Fang Xi extended his Divine Consciousness over thousands of miles, quickly finding a habitation.
Then, his expression turned odd as he saw serpents and wolves with human limbs, all forming a village together.
"It seems it’s not ruled by the human race, nor by the Monster Clan... but... half-demon?!"
He could tell that these members of the Monster Clan, though bizarre in appearance, still retained some human characteristics, likely the mixed-blood descendants of humans and monster beasts.
It was precisely because of this that they could transform and gain limbs even at the primary or secondary stages, making everything much more convenient.
Fang Xi even saw some of them attempting Talisman forging and making talismans...
With a thought, he located the leader of the village—a Core Formation wolf half-demon.
This demon was mostly in human form, save for the thick fur on its body, protruding canine teeth, and a fierce face.
At that moment, the half-demon was sitting cross-legged inside a cave, cultivating.
"Monster beasts generally don’t cultivate skills, and only instinctively absorb the essence of the sun and the moon..."
"Yet this demon cultivates a genuine Monster Clan cultivation skill..."
Fang Xi sighed, "The cultivators of this realm may just be such ’Demon Cultivators’."
"However, it is also possible that it’s a remote location that has such an ecosystem."
Down in the Lower Realm, he was virtually unrestrained.
Immediately, he transformed into a streak of light, heading toward the mountain stronghold of these Demon Cultivators.
While traveling at the speed of light, Fang Xi, when in Rome, ran the Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill, converting the Immortal Origin Energy of the Kuyong Skills into the dark green Sky Demon Qi.
His appearance and some treasures were also appropriately disguised.
The ’Sky Demon Slaying Immortal Tactics’ is a profound secret skill of the Monster Clan, a pity that after reaching Returning to Emptiness, it could no longer progress.
"In the Earth Immortal Realm, there should be subsequent skills, which the heterodox incarnation can look out for..."
The convenience of the Triphasic Destroying Origin Skill was something Fang Xi was quite unwilling to give up.
Alas, the current ’Sky Demon Slaying Immortal Tactics’ could still be used, but after reaching the mid and late stages of Returning to Emptiness, it would end up like the previously incomplete Divine Skill, Kuyong Skills.
Even if one forcibly raised the Demon Qi, without the corresponding Secret Skills and Divine Skills, one could only be a fat pig...
Depending on a higher stage, it wasn’t much of a problem to bully some Transcendent God Demon Cultivators, but against a Demon Cultivator of the same stage, there would be trouble.
After converting his skills, Fang Xi’s body immediately showed a hint of Demon Qi, making him seem more adapted to this world, even the Spirit Realm’s pressure was greatly reduced.
Excellent!
Fang Xi could still move freely in the Lower Realm, naturally because he was supported by the Earth Immortal Spiritual Realm, with the Spirit Realm constantly neutralizing the repression of Interface Power and Heavenly and Earthly Laws.
Otherwise, he would probably be forced to ascend in the time it took to catch his breath.
His speed was astonishing, and a streak of dark green Escape Light landed directly in the middle of the village.
On an open piece of ground, the Demon Cultivators who were setting up their stalls were scared out of their wits.
"Could it be... Could it be a Transformed Great Demon?!"
"And transformed so perfectly?"
A female fox licked her lips, swaying her three tails: "This... Your Majesty, do you need any trinkets?"
"Scram!"
Fang Xi didn’t mince words, coldly spitting out the word.
The half-demons immediately scattered in terror—quite literally, with wolves running and pigs dashing; one wolf demon wrapped its fur and Flesh and Blood in a parcel, turning into a Monster wind to flee.
A pig demon with a pig’s head and the body of a chubby human hastily picked up a few stone runes from the ground, and its untransformed hooves dug the Earth, trying to find a hole to hide in...
Seeing such a chaotic scene, Fang Xi frowned even tighter.
’Good thing the language is compatible, these Demon Cultivators all understand Monster Text...’
Witnessing this, he immediately sent a Divine Consciousness Transmission to that Core Formation wolf demon: "Come here!"
Moments later, a gust of Monster wind emerged, and the third-stage wolf demon landed on the ground, looking at Fang Xi who appeared entirely human but carried a strong Demon Qi, feeling bitter inside.
Forcing a fawning smile on his wolfish face, he said, "May I ask where Your Majesty hails from? This ’Clear Wind Tribe’ is under the dominion of ’King Flame Demon,’ and it’s possible there might be some connections with Your Majesty... Please, Your Majesty, to my humble Dongfu, where I have fine blood food and wine to offer..."
The wolf demon pretended to nonchalantly scan with his Divine Consciousness, becoming even more shocked.
Even the "King Flame Demon" could feel the immeasurable demon power from the other.
But this Monster King, with an undeniable Monster Clan aura, gave off a sense of emptiness.
’Could it be that this demon’s strength surpasses that of the Great King Flame? Heaven help me, please don’t let it be an old enemy...’
The wolf demon’s heart was filled with bitterness.
"Dare to probe me with your Divine Consciousness? You’re very bold..."
Fang Xi said with a slight smile, "I was going to ask you a few questions, but now it seems... it would be better to just make a move."
As he showed a smile, the wolf demon cried out in his heart that this was bad.
Without any hesitation, a streak of emerald wind enveloped itself and shot backward.
This wind of his had a significant origin, being a natural Divine Skill, which later, after being cultivated with techniques and secret skills, transformed into the ’Sky Wolf Sudden Wind,’ powerful enough to melt metal and iron. Even if it were Spiritual Instruments, they would be damaged if touched by this wind.
More importantly, it possessed both defensive and escape abilities, which had helped him avoid danger countless times.
But this time, things were clearly different!
Fang Xi fiddled with his prayer beads, and a minor Brahman Sect Divine Skill emerged, called ’Vajra Lion Roar,’ known for its demon-subduing and demon-slaying effects.
Hum!
The wolf demon felt a terrifying lion’s roar in the air, his head spun, and he didn’t know how he fell from the sky.
The ’Sky Wolf Sudden Wind’ could not protect him in the slightest.
Not only that, but his demon power was also shattered to pieces, leaving his Demon Pill lethargic and hardly able to mobilize any demon power.
Fang Xi reached out with his right hand and a streak of golden light flew out, binding the wolf demon and bringing him before Fang Xi.
He didn’t hesitate and went straight to soul searching.
With his current Divine Consciousness, searching the soul of a third-order wolf demon came without any consequences, so much so that the wolf demon wasn’t even aware that his soul had been searched...
And streams of information were already appearing in Fang Xi’s mind:
"Minor demons, great demons, Monster Kings... Demon Gods... and... Monster Court?"
"So this realm has indeed become the world of the Demon Cultivators..."
"I didn’t expect that the Demon Cultivators had established a civilization, even a court... Demon Gods... Transcendent God level Monster cultivators?"
Moments later, Fang Xi discarded the wolf demon like trash and looked towards the east.
According to the wolf demon’s memories, this place was just the remote area of the Monster Court. If one continued eastward, they would encounter cities built by Demon Cultivators, becoming more and more prosperous, until eventually reaching the Monster Capital, where the Monster Royal Court was located!
And according to Fang Xi’s own senses, a fragment of the ’Treasures of All Heavens’ was also in that direction.
’Sigh... It seems it has already fallen into the hands of Demon Cultivators.’
’Luckily, it wasn’t taken to the Earth Immortal Realm by the previously ascended Demon Cultivators...’
He sighed in his heart, dropped the wolf demon, and turned into a dark green Escape Light, which disappeared in an instant.
Long after, a few half-demons peeked around cautiously: "The Monster King has left, right?"
"So scary, it’s my first time seeing a fully transformed half-demon..."
"It seems the Green Wolf has fainted..."
The half-demons exchanged looks, all ready to make their move.
Even with a system in place, the Monster Clan’s instinct of survival of the fittest was still deeply etched in their blood.
Seeing the Green Wolf defeated so easily, the half-demons’ eyes gleamed fiercely as they approached...
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, a second-order tiger demon leapt forward.
In mid-air, it transformed into a colossal tiger with hanging eyes and white forehead, opened its bloody mouth wide, and bit at the wolf demon.
But the very next moment!
Awooo!
With a mournful wolf howl, an even larger Green Wolf head appeared, bit down viciously, and chewed off the entire head of the colossal tiger.
Crunch!
The massive tiger corpse fell to the ground, blood gushing forth.
Only then did the green wolf head dissipate into wisps of black mist, leisurely re-entering the body of the Green Wolf.
"Hmph, don’t you look at your own cultivation before you try to rebel?"
It disdainfully kicked the tiger corpse aside, tore off one of its legs, and stuffed it into its wolfish jaws, devouring it eagerly.
As the blood dripped down, many half-demons watching the once dominant tiger demon turned into a bloody meal all shivered.
A few rare half-demons hung their heads low, their eyes filled with desire.
It was unclear whether they longed for the high-level bloody meal or something else...
"Hmph, the Blood Tax next month will increase by thirty percent!"
After eating and drinking his fill, the Green Wolf let out another fierce roar, "This is your punishment!"
All the half-demons lamented in their hearts, but did not dare to resist.
This was the stark rule among the Monster Clan, which illustrated the law of the jungle and survival of the fittest in all its rawness...
If they were unwilling to pay the Blood Tax, they had the option of being devoured by the Green Wolf or leaving the land of the Spiritual Vein and fleeing to the wilderness.
From then on, not only would their cultivation stagnate, but they would also face great dangers...
Thus, even under severe oppression, these half-demons could only compromise.
