Chapter 164: Chapter 144: Battle Against the Fake Core (Seeking Monthly Tickets at Month’s End)

Lightning clouds rolled tumultuously.

True Person Zi Yuan, holding a purple Treasure Bead, was struggling to keep up her defense.

Suddenly!

A land-shaking, mountain-quaking tremor occurred, and a vast swath of lightning clouds collapsed!

"Opportunity!"

Zi Yuan, a Loose Cultivator who had cultivated her way to the Fake Core stage, had experienced too many battles to count and had thus accumulated incomparably rich experience.

Although she didn’t know why the Array had collapsed, she keenly seized the opportunity.

"Go!"

Her hands formed a spell, and she forced out a drop of Essence Blood.

The Treasure Bead merged with the Essence Blood, suddenly emitting a brilliant glow with strands of blood within it, transforming into a blood-feathered purple bird that flew into the midst of the lightning clouds, surrounded by countless Runes that explosively detonated.

Boom!

The vast expanse of lightning clouds immediately dissipated, revealing a clear sky for thousands of miles.

At the peaks of various mountains, the expressions of the Myriad Beasts Sect disciples shifted greatly as Essence Blood spurted from their mouths.

Moreover, three beams of Foundation Establishment light surged murderously towards Fang Xing.

They were all intelligent people, preferring not to join the Fake Core battlefield, and so they went after Fang Xing instead.

"Myriad Beasts Sect, for today’s matter, this True Person will surely repay you later."

True Person Zi Yuan had a tall and graceful figure, wearing a long purple dress, and a beautiful face, yet her words were exceedingly domineering.

"Later? You probably won’t live to see that day."

The Elder of the Sect, riding a Four-winged Flying Snake, withdrew his Black Saber Magical Treasure, protecting himself while stroking his spiritual pet beneath him, a tinge of regret appearing on his face: "Originally, I didn’t want to use this move, but that damned Lian Cheng, even if he is not dead, will be executed according to the Sect’s rules when we return!"

As the Array Master, he was very clear about the changes in the Array.

He knew the trouble had been caused by True Disciple Lian Cheng, who rashly trapped a Foundation Establishment Cultivator within the Array.

The key issue was that they couldn’t kill the enemy but instead allowed the enemy to find an opportunity to counterattack, destroying a corner of the Array.

Otherwise, Zi Yuan had absolutely no way to break through the Array and would sooner or later be worn down to death, and he wouldn’t have had to pay such a heavy price.

But now, that was no longer possible.

"Little Qing..."

With a fierce shout, the Sect Elder took out a bottle of Elixir from the storage bag in his chest and threw it directly into the mouth of the Four-winged Flying Snake beneath him, which held the Second Rank Top Grade status.

The enormous Demon Beast Python exerted a little force, and the Jade Bottle was crushed, its Scarlet Pill swallowed in a flash.

Hiss!

The Four-winged Flying Snake suddenly hissed to the sky, its skin cracking, with a bump on its head as if a single horn was about to emerge.

Seeing this, True Person Zi Yuan thought of something: "I’ve heard that that old ghost Lian obtained great benefits from the Wilderness, raising a ’Horned Bright Snake’ to advance to Mid-grade Second Rank... That Horned Bright Snake possesses half of the Flood Dragon Bloodline, could this pill be the ’Dragon Transformation Pill’ refined with its blood?"

"Correct, it is indeed the ’Dragon Transformation Pill’, though only a Pseudo one, it’s sufficient for my spiritual pet to possess the Flood Dragon Blood for a short while."

The Sect Elder sneered coldly and then began to chant a spell with his hands forming a seal.

The Mana around his body surged wildly, and the Fake Core was actually pushed to its limit, emitting frightful mana fluctuations.

Beneath him, the Four-winged Flying Snake that seemed about to transform into a dragon writhed anxiously...

"Not good, the Soul Attachment Technique?!"

Zi Yuan, in great urgency, threw a Talisman with her hand.

Countless green lightning bolts erupted wildly, resembling green pythons, sweeping towards the Sect Elder – it was a Third Rank Yimu Divine Thunder Talisman!

Boom!

Endless thunder light swept over but was completely blocked by the pitch-black long saber Magical Treasure.

The green lightning bolts, full of indescribable destructive and life-giving forces, fell onto the pitch-black light curtain formed by the Black Blade Magical Treasure, silently disintegrating...

Although the Yimu Divine Thunder Talisman was of the Third Rank, the Black Blade was also a Third Rank Magical Treasure, and the Sect Elder was well-prepared. Adopting a purely defensive stance, he thus easily withstood the assault.

True Person Zi Yuan was also muttering something under her breath, seemingly preparing a powerful Spell. She glanced at the ’Purple Brush Pearl’ Magical Treasure in her hand and sighed internally.

Just now, in order to break through the Array, she had been forced to rush out the full power of this Low-grade Magical Treasure, and now the ’Purple Brush Pearl’s Origin was damaged and needed to be nurtured in her Dantian to recover its former state.

Fighting head-on with the Black Blade Magical Treasure held little chance of success.

Meanwhile, the Sect Elder had completed his Spell, the pupils of his eyes tinged with blood as a strange smile spread across his face: "Soul Attachment Technique!"

This was a secret Divine Skill of the Myriad Beasts Sect; each usage required the sacrifice of a Dragon Bloodline Demon Beast of at least the Second Rank, and the bloodline had to be exceedingly rich!

The previous generation’s Supreme Elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect was an Alchemist, who spent half his lifetime’s effort to conceive a ’Fake Dragon Transformation Pill’ Dan recipe, allowing Dragon Bloodline Demon Beasts like pythons and carps to massively increase their bloodline power for three Shi!

However, to refine this pill, Horned Bright Snake blood of at least Mid-grade Second Rank was needed as a catalyst.

That’s why that old ghost Lian cared so much for the Ink Jade Python, aiming for its rank advancement!

Currently, the Horned Bright Snake could regularly give blood, allowing the continuous refinement of Pseudo Dragon Transformation Pills and significantly enhancing the power of Myriad Beasts Sect’s Fake Core and Core Formation True Persons!

Amidst the Sect Elder’s howling roar, his Four-winged Flying Snake let out a pained hiss, its single horn protruding.

Subsequently, a layer of blood-colored light ignited from its scales.

In an instant, a huge Second Rank Snake Demon was reduced to ashes, only a Poison Dragon-like Demon Soul was extracted, falling into the Sect Elder’s hands.

The Sect Elder, looking at the Poison Dragon Demon Soul in his hand, a trace of remorse and reluctance in his eyes, then pointed at Zi Yuan: "Go!"

The Poison Dragon, arrow fast, killed right before Zi Yuan.

Zi Yuan waved her hand, and a layer of purple Crystal Stone emerged from thin air, transforming into a huge shield to protect her.

That Purple Brush Pearl Magical Treasure also fell in front of her body, a thick purple light curtain with countless Runes writhing on it like tadpoles.

Pop!

The demon soul-transformed arrows effortlessly pierced through the purple Crystal Stone shield, leaving a hole in the light curtain. Though greatly reduced in size and becoming semi-transparent, the demon soul still burrowed into the forehead of True Person of Purple Yuen.

"Third Rank techniques!"

A layer of black qi immediately surfaced on True Person of Purple Yuen’s face as he spat out a mouthful of essence blood.

The Soul Attachment Technique used the demon soul as a medium to transform into soul-chasing poison arrows. Those hit by it felt as if they contracted an incurable bone-deep carbuncle!

Had it been cast by Old Ghost Lian from the Myriad Beasts Sect, even mid-stage or late-stage Core Formation cultivators would be reluctant to take the blow head-on.

Although Sect Elder was only at the Fake Core, the Soul Attachment Technique he executed was a bona fide Third Rank method, akin to a strike from a True Core, severely injuring True Person of Purple Yuen!

Not only that, but the sinister and potent poison carried by the Poison Dragon Demon Soul was continuously corrupting True Person of Purple Yuen’s physique, mana, divine soul... even that Fake Core!

Without treatment, he was bound to die within three days, his cultivation dissipating!

"What a Soul Attachment Technique indeed... truly as formidable as the rumors suggest, rivaling Divine Skills."

True Person of Purple Yuen took out a Spirit Pill and swallowed it, barely suppressing his injuries while despair grew in his heart.

"You will pay for your life today for bringing my spiritual pet along in this plan."

Sect Elder wielded the Black Saber Magical Treasure, his expression ferocious.

At that moment, he seemed to sense something and swept out with his Divine Sense.

He saw that of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the sect, two had been successively beheaded by a figure.

The Qi Cultivation disciples had it even worse, pursued and slaughtered in sequence by a silvery-white figure.

"Sect Elder... save me!"

The last Foundation Establishment Cultivator, clutching a Golden Yuan Bell spiritual artifact, frantically fled towards the Sect Elder.

He didn’t understand how things had gone awry, as they were only targeting a Foundation Establishment early-stage cultivator when a terrifying Body Cultivator burst forth from the ground, killing his two companions almost instantaneously.

Fortunately, the ’Golden Yuan Bell’ he held was a Top Grade spiritual artifact, known for its defensive capabilities, with an automatic protective charm.

Otherwise, he would have been punched to death as well!

’This person is definitely not an ordinary Second Rank Body Cultivator... He must be a Quasi Third Rank Body Cultivator, on par with a Fake Core Cultivator!’

The Foundation Establishment disciple from the Myriad Beasts Sect was filled with regret.

But in the next moment, a figure had already rushed to his rear.

The opponent seemed able to step on air, accelerating over short distances peerlessly, with extremely agile maneuvers — not at all like the renowned ground-bound Body Cultivators!

As the Foundation Establishment Cultivator yelled, he poured all his mana into the Golden Yuan Bell.

The bell kept growing in size, engulfing him completely.

Dong dong!

Fang Xing struck with both fist and palm on the surface of the golden bell. Accompanied by deafening booms, the horrifying penetrating and vibrating force impacted the body of the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Crash!

The Golden Yuan Bell suddenly lost all its mana support, shrinking into a small golden bell.

A mass of mangled flesh emerged from inside the bell, scattering across the sky.

Meanwhile, the Cultivation Avatar also killed the last Qi Cultivator and found a place to hide.

A battle between Fake Core True People was not something an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator could partake in.

"Fake Core of the Myriad Beasts Sect... and True Person of Purple Yuen?"

Fang Xing stood with his hands behind his back, a hint of cold laughter on his face: "So it was you two who conspired here, but why involve me?"

"How dare you, brazen thief... to slaughter disciples of the Myriad Beasts Sect!?"

Sect Elder’s eyes nearly split with fury: "I must not spare you today!"

Although Fang Xing’s aura seemed like that of a mortal, to the two Fake Core True People, it was laughable.

How could a mortal fly with their body?

He must be using the Concealing Breath Technique. Considering the enormous strength previously demonstrated, he must be a Quasi Third Rank Body Cultivator, comparable to a Fake Core Cultivator.

But Quasi Third Rank techniques lack the richness of a Fake Core cultivator’s, and in battle, they are bound to be at a disadvantage.

Sect Elder was relatively strong among the Fake Cores and was even on the verge of slaying another Fake Core, naturally looking down on a Quasi Third Rank Body Cultivator.

"Die!"

The moment Sect Elder saw Fang Xing charging, he pointed at his Black Saber Magical Treasure.

The black long saber roared, and the ghost head on its handle immediately let out a soul-shaking, grating scream, capable of attacking one’s spirit.

This was because Sect Elder knew that Body Cultivators usually had weak divine senses and specifically targeted this weakness for an attack.

Not only that, but the Black Saber Magical Treasure flickered with light and actually produced a swath of dark Wind Blades.

Countless black winds like razors formed a tornado, resembling a massive black dragon that engulfed Fang Xing within it.

Crash!

The Nano Protective Suit Fang Xing wore began to crack under such an attack, revealing his skin that seemed clad in Golden Silk Armor.

’With my current physique, I can’t contend with a Magic Treasure’s body... but if I avoid the Magic Treasure’s body, this spell damage and splashes... are but a breeze brushing past.’

Fang Xing used the Dancing Sky Steps, leaping out from the black tornado, and with a few steps, arrived in front of the Sect Elder.

"Impossible..."

The Sect Elder’s eyes bulged with rage, this Body Cultivator’s divine consciousness defense was impenetrable, and his aerial movement technique was so nimble?

But it was too late for the Elder to ponder further.

A pair of golden points flashed in Fang Xing’s eyes, and his overbearing Martial Arts Will directly collided with the Sect Elder’s Sea of Consciousness, causing him a momentary stupor.

Then, he extended three fingers, upon which countless power converged!

— Star Martial Three Extremes!

— Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power!
