Chapter 302: Chapter 248: All Cards on the Table (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

"What a formidable practitioner of Body Cultivation, indeed the Cultivation World is filled with hidden dragons and sleeping tigers..."

"Not popping up until the critical moment."

Yu Zhenzi’s Divine Sense transmitted his voice to Gu Shenzi and Xue Yuanzi: "Six Divine Infant Fruits, two already claimed, one with astonishing Escape Skills, and the other with an invincible physique... it’s probably difficult to get any of them, meaning only four are left."

"Next time, we must make a real move."

"That Body Cultivator is very suspicious; I suspect he’s involved in the disappearance of Wanxiang’s Demon Child."

Xue Yuanzi’s gaze turned solemn.

They all knew that within Linglang Blessed Land, danger was omnipresent. The Demon Child of Wanxiang not contesting for the Divine Infant Fruits meant he was either trapped or dead, the latter being even more likely!

However, those from the Demon Path are cold-hearted by nature; the death of the Demon Child of Wanxiang is none of their concern, even if there were a need for revenge, it should be a matter for the Wanxiang Sect itself.

And besides, although two Divine Infant Fruits were taken, that also meant two strong rivals were gone, attracting away several prominent Jiedan Cultivators at the Core Formation Late Stage!

"When we act, which one of us will take the Divine Infant Fruit?" Xue Yuanzi brought up another key question.

"I suggest I bow out; I won’t compete with you for this one."

Yu Zhenzi smiled slightly, exuding great confidence, "But whoever gets the fruit must make compensation..."

"Agreed." Gu Shenzi glanced towards Fang Xing’s direction: "I want to stay here and see how that person screams to his death... Xue Yuanzi you’re picking up a bargain; you owe me three hundred jin of ’Purple Poison Eggs’ as compensation..."

"I don’t have that much, but I can throw in two more ’Ten Thousand Blood Stones’," Xue Yuanzi transmitted grudgingly.

"Deal."

...

Not much later.

Fragrance filled the air.

The third ’Divine Infant Fruit’ ripened and fell from its stem.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Figures shot up into the sky, each displaying their unique talents.

At the Core Formation Late Stage, one can Cultivate many of the Cultivation World’s Mysterious Techniques.

Now, in the struggle for the Dao Path, they didn’t hesitate to fight to the death, playing their last cards.

In Fang Xing’s view, he witnessed at least three Jiedan Cultivators meet their untimely deaths!

"Ts ts... The old ancestor from Mangshan is nearly five hundred years old; why bother competing? With his death, the thousand-year foundation of the Mangshan Sect is finished..."

Bai Xiaoshu shook his head on the side while speedily recording, "Is this the ’General Slaughter Immortal Qi’? How formidable... it turns out this Divine Power was used by the Supreme Elder of the Five Clouds Sect... When the Floating Cloud Fairy was kidnapped years ago by a powerful figure and drained to death... the perpetrator used the ’General Slaughter Immortal Qi,’ and now the case is solved..."

"I always feel..." Fang Xing said with some reluctance, "that if you keep this up, you will be beaten to death sooner or later..."

"Haha... I have no children, no relatives, no friends, and no disciples..."

Bai Xiaoshu smiled slightly: "My lifespan has nearly reached its limit; who would bother with an old chap like me? Moreover... this was revealed by the Supreme Elder of the Five Cloud Sect himself, seen by so many people. Could it be that he plans to silence them all? Sigh... it’s also unfortunate that the Floating Cloud Fairy was of common birth, merely from a Core Formation Family that has declined in recent decades. If she had a Nascent Soul Sect as her backing, the Supreme Elder of the Five Cloud Sect would definitely not dare to be so brazen..."

"Huh?"

His aged eyes brightened: "Both the Righteous and Demonic factions have given it their all!"

"Kill!"

The Jiedan Cultivators from both Righteous and Demonic sides tacitly formed an Array, resembling two camps, and began to control the battlefield, keeping the Loose Cultivators and Family Cultivators at bay.

In the center was the battleground of the Righteous and Demonic Ten!

Vajra Son charged ahead, his body faintly showing the image of a bell covered in flowing Sanskrit.

Born in the Bodhi Sect, he was best skilled at Dual Cultivation of Body and Technique.

He also activated a Fourth Rank Defense Talisman, raising his defense to an astonishing level.

Even if he encountered that powerful Body Cultivator from earlier, he might not be without a chance to fight!

Vajra Son brought his hands together and then suddenly split them apart, a golden dragon claw emerged, reaching for the Divine Infant Fruit.

"In your dreams!"

Gu Shenzi laughed aloud, gave Fang Xing—who was watching from afar—a glance filled with hidden resentment, and in his hand appeared a colorful spider, the Quasi Fourth Rank ’Ten Thousand Tribulations Gu’!

At that moment, this spider burst with a terrifyingly fierce energy, and the shadow of a four-winged golden silkworm emerged, squeaked shrilly, and turned into a streak of golden light rushing towards Vajra Son.

"Ten Thousand Tribulations Gu? Not good... it even consumed five poisons and the golden silkworm, advancing to a Quasi Fourth Rank Ten Thousand Tribulations Gu? Even a Nascent Soul Body might not be able to endure a bite..."

Righteous Son’s face changed, and he slowly opened a scroll in his hand.

"I am adept at cultivating Vast Energy!"

He cultivated a top-level Confucian Cultivation Technique secretly passed down by the Xuantian Sect, capable of cultivating a Great Divine Power known as ’Vast Energy’.

This ’Vast Energy’ can suppress the Five Elements and overpower All Techniques!

It was said that a great Confucian at the Nascent Soul Late Stage once shouted, exterminating a Demon Nascent Soul Sect in its entirety, and any Cultivator with Demonic Qi within them could not escape death!

Of course, Righteous Son did not possess such cultivation of Vast Energy, but his collection of Vast Energy over hundreds of years, when released in one shout, caused numerous colorful Spell lights to vanish.

A great number of Jiedan Cultivators at the Core Formation Late Stage felt their Mana flow sluggishly, and they looked aghast at ’Righteous Son’.

The golden light, formed by the four-winged golden silkworm, collided with the white Vast Energy and exploded instantly.

The shadow of the four-winged golden silkworm vanished without a trace.

But the spider-shaped ’Ten Thousand Tribulations Gu’ was exceptionally fierce, and with a ghastly shriek, it spewed a scorpion and a gecko from its mouth...

Like a Storm, countless poisonous insects enveloped Vajra Son, gnawing at the bell till it buzzed loudly.

"How dare you!"

Hun Yuanzi scoffed coldly and raised his hand, unleashing a barrage of Five Elements Divine Thunder, bombing relentlessly.

Each strike of the Divine Thunder had the terrifying power to severely injure a Jiedan Cultivator with ease!

Rushing sounds filled the air as a Blood River materialized.

The crimson Blood River engulfed heaven and earth, and numerous Five Elements Divine Thunders fell into it without causing even a ripple.

From the Blood River emerged one Blood Ghost after another, all baring their fangs and howling ferociously.

"Blood God Banner? Quasi Fourth Rank?"

Hun Yuanzi launched the Five Elements Divine Thunder, refining it into the Five Elements Light Screen to protect himself, his brow slightly furrowed.

A Quasi Fourth Rank magic treasure was indeed astonishing, especially in the hands of Golden Core Late Stage cultivators like them, capable of unleashing much of their power!

For cultivators, the higher the grade of a magic treasure is not always the better.

For example, the ’Jiao Wei Zither,’ due to its high rank, could only be used twice by Mu Qinglan.

It was like a child dancing with a large axe, easy to injure oneself.

But Xue Yuanzi was a genuine Immortal Golden Core cultivator and in the Core Formation Late Stage, with formidable mana, and his cultivation technique was well-suited to the ’Blood God Banner,’ able to unleash most of its power!

"So you think you’re the only one with a treasure?"

Yan Yanzi sneered coldly, and a large green banner materialized in his hand, which he waved vigorously.

Cheep cheep!

A clear and melodious bird song emerged.

The spirit runes on the green banner flickered, revealing it to be a Fourth Rank Spiritual Treasure!

Numerous spirit runes converged, transforming into a majestic green bird with feathers ablaze in green fire, each like a tassel.

"A divine Qingluan bird? Is that Burning Sky Valley’s treasure, the ’Green Phoenix Banner’?"

Bai Xiaoshu’s eyes bulged: "The ’Green Phoenix Banner’ can unleash the True Qingluan Fire that easily repels all kinds of evils."

Before he could finish speaking, the green firebird with its wings vibrated, and countless True Qingluan Fires fell like meteors, accurately hitting the Blood Ghosts.

Those Blood Ghosts had no time to resist and without even a howl, they turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated.

"Cheep cheep!"

The Qingluan Divine Bird spread its wings and from its beak, it spewed out a mass of green flames.

Originally only a few feet wide, the green flames immediately drew in heaven and earth’s spiritual qi frantically, growing to several dozen feet in size, like a green sun crashing into the Blood Sea!

"Damn it!"

Xue Yuanzi was somewhat in over his head, as he conjured a blood-colored elixir and quickly swallowed it.

His mana surged instantly, and his eyes were somewhat bloodshot.

Clang!

A flying sword traced a strange arc, cutting through layers of Blood Sea, aimed at his forehead, but was firmly grasped by a blood claw.

The one who made the move was naturally Fu Hongyi!

With his unparalleled swordsmanship, he was confident that with two more strikes, he would be able to sever that blood claw and incidentally kill Xue Yuanzi!

Although he did not understand why the Wanxiang Demon Child had not appeared this time, these three Demon Path Golden Core Late Stage cultivators were all top-notch experts.

The very opponents swordsmen loved to face!

"This time, we must severely damage the Demon Path!"

Yan Yanzi spurred the ’Green Phoenix Banner,’ feeling the terrifying consumption of mana, and immediately took out a bottle of ’Millennium Stone Milk’ and took a small sip, feeling his mana quickly replenish and a surge of murderous intent in his heart.

The three Demon elites were unfathomably deep, and now their mana and divine powers seemed to even surpass the Righteous Five.

If it were a one-on-one fight, he might already be at a disadvantage.

He must not miss this godsend opportunity!

"Now that Blood Sword Son has made his move, as long as Zhengqi Zi joins in..."

Just as he thought this, Yan Yanzi swept his Divine Sense around and his expression suddenly changed drastically.

Above the Sky Dome, beneath the Prohibition, a mass of black Qi was entangled with white light.

This was Zhengqi Zi and Yu Zhenzi fiercely battling.

But at a certain moment, a layer of terrifying pitch-black Demon Flames suddenly ignited on that mass of black Qi!

The usually infallible Vast Energy that could suppress Demonic Qi, when ignited by the pitch-black Demon Flames, actually started to retreat!

Zhengqi Zi let out a muted grunt, was sent flying hundreds of feet back, clearly at a disadvantage.

"Soul-Destroying Demon Flames?!"

He looked at the cluster of pitch-black flames with dread in his eyes: "I never expected that after so many years, Purple Sun Sect would finally produce someone who could control a Fourth Rank Demon Fire in the Core Formation Stage!"

"Not just that, I specifically cultivated this Soul-Destroying Demon Fire to counter you, perfect for breaking your Great Vast Energy Divine Power!"

Yu Zhenzi was aggressive, but inside he felt somewhat regretful.

His conjecture was correct, with the Soul-Destroying Demon Fire, he now had the strength to defeat Zhengqi Zi and claim the title of the number one person in Core Formation.

Unfortunately, while it was easy to defeat, killing was difficult.

If Wanxiang Demon Child was present with the Wanxiang Unpredictable Array to join in, he even had the confidence to strongly kill a few of the Righteous Five and give the Righteous Path a profound lesson.

But at this moment, he could only settle for the next best thing. With that thought, his eyes suddenly turned dark...

...

"Tsk tsk... Indeed, one must watch the battles of the top elites of the Righteous and Demonic Paths, each one is a hidden dragon and crouching tiger..."

Standing at a distance, Fang Xing watched the spectacle with interest.

If it weren’t for him laying low and not revealing his Nascent Soul strength from the start, by now the Righteous and Demonic Paths would probably be joining forces against him.

Watching these top elites from both paths wield Fourth Rank Spiritual Treasures, Talismans, and Demon Fires, it was clear that even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, being ganged up on would definitely be unpleasant.

Especially that pitch-black ’Soul-Destroying Demon Fire,’ ranking among the top ten Spiritual Fires in Da Jing, even a Nascent Soul True Monarch would not dare let their Magic Body touch the slightest bit of it.

Without exaggeration, with Yu Zhenzi mastering such a Fourth Rank Demon Flame, he already had the capital to threaten a Nascent Soul True Monarch!

Bai Xiaoshu, next to him, was too busy to nod, his pen moving as swift as a dragon or snake, quickly recording everything.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred in the midst of the arena!
