Chapter 379: Chapter 307: The Devil Peng Carries the Sun (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Very good... I indeed wasn’t wrong about you!"

The Island Master of Pengmo Island laughed heartily, "To exchange blows with me using pure physical strength, you can already be proud of yourself..."

A sharp glint flickered in his eyes as he declared, "Next, I shall use my full strength."

Screech!!

Before he finished speaking, a piercing cry that seemed to rush through the empty sky and pierce the clouds suddenly came from behind him.

Streams of dark aura shot up into the sky.

"Is this demonic energy? It seems like it, but not exactly..."

Fang Xing’s eyes narrowed slightly as he saw an odd Dharma Golden Body materialize behind the Island Master of Pengmo Island.

It had the head of an eagle and the body of a man, with wings on its back – an exceedingly strange appearance.

"It’s somewhat reminiscent of Demon Path techniques, yet it also resembles an innate divine ability of the Demon Race... No, this is the body divine power from Body Cultivation in this world!"

Fang Xing nodded to himself. Body Cultivators who reached the latter stages could still compete with Cultivators, and it was the divine power born from their physical bodies that they relied upon!

Moreover, he detected that the Island Master of Pengmo Island’s aura was unusual, most likely carrying a remarkable bloodline.

At that moment, the Dharma Golden Body let out an eagle’s screech and pressed down with a claw!

It was as if the surrounding air were being compressed, bearing down on Fang Xing right in the center, giving off an unavoidable sensation.

Around Fang Xing, golden light erupted, and the roaring of his dragon sinews and tiger bones filled the air, his blood and qi were dense, and his vital essence soared up like signal smoke into the sky.

His five fingers closed together, forming a fist – revealing the full force of the Star Martial Six Extremes, where six different kinds of power merged into one.

In the void, an enormous fist shadow appeared, clashing with the eagle-headed, human-bodied Dharma Form’s sharp claws.

Whoosh whoosh!

A wind rose from the flat ground, and the terrifying force blew fiercely in all directions.

Many Jiedan Cultivators already looked solemn, releasing their defensive magical treasures to protect themselves.

Clearly, the ripple effects from the exchange between these two Nascent Soul Cultivators could easily severely injure or even kill them!

Puff!

The fist shadow faded, and Fang Xing’s clothes on his chest were torn, revealing three claw marks side by side.

Atop his chest, a faint layer of golden light flickered – he was completely unharmed under the operation of Dragon Elephant Vajra Invincible Divine Power.

But Fang Xing knew in his heart that he was still at a disadvantage.

"The Star Martial Six Extremes... should also be improved. Otherwise, it’s not quite suited for exchanges at the Nascent Soul level."

"However, among the Star Martial Six Extremes, there’s still one move I can use!"

Fang Xing activated the Immortal Martial Artist trait, transforming part of his blood and qi into the Immortal Martial Flow.

In the void, a golden big hand materialized, striking out ahead of him!

——Immortal Martial Unification Hand Seal!

Although this hand seal wasn’t as powerful as the Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm, it could still be used as his standard move.

The power that erupted from it was considered the strongest among the Star Martial Six Extremes!

Whoosh!

The golden big hand formed a handprint, and suddenly a chant similar to Buddhist sutras resounded in the void.

The golden big handprint pressed down, landing on the Dharma Golden Body of the Island Master of Pengmo Island.

The eagle-headed, human-bodied Dharma Golden Body was directly shattered!

"What?"

The Cultivators watching, except for Fang Xing’s Cultivation Avatar, were all stunned into silence.

It was surprising enough that Fang Yun, the True Monarch, possessed mid-grade fourth rank Body Refining Cultivation.

What was unbelievable was that the Island Master of Pengmo Island had used a great divine power such as the Dharma Golden Body, yet it was still crushed by the opponent’s hand!

Especially the Cultivators who had come with the Island Master of Pengmo Island were keenly aware of their leader’s strength.

Although he had not used spiritual treasures or spells, what the Island Master of Pengmo Island was most proud of was his own Body Refining Cultivation!

Was this... being overpowered in his most proficient area?

Screech!

At that moment, the Island Master of Pengmo Island roared to the sky, emitting a piercing eagle cry.

An aura belonging to a peerless Great Demon emerged, causing every Demon Beast within a hundred miles to tremble with fear.

"This is bad... Island Master!"

An old Cultivator who had come with the Island Master of Pengmo Island looked horrified, "The Island Master is about to use that divine skill... Terrible, that divine skill doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe, we might all be devoured together... Run!!"

"What do you mean ’all devoured together’?"

Fang Xing’s Cultivation Avatar asked with keen interest.

Then, he saw that around the Island Master of Pengmo Island, a layer of illusory golden feathers emerged.

Overhead, the shattered Dharma Golden Body had somehow reconverged!

No!

The eagle-headed, human-bodied Dharma Form let out a long cry, spreading its wings, and truly transformed into a great Roc.

Its feathers were like swords, emitting strands of golden light, with a plume of golden down on its head, looking like a burning golden flame.

It was the Golden Winged Great Roc Dharma Image!

The Roc Dharma Form opened its mouth wide, unleashing a terrifying suction force.

It is said in the ancient books of the Cultivation World that the Golden Winged Great Roc, when it soars ninety thousand miles, feeds on Flood Dragons! Its nature is ferocious, and it is fond of eating humans! With a single open mouth, it could swallow an entire city’s population!

"A Divine Power that swallows the heavens and devours the earth?" Fang Xing laughed heartily, aware that the island master’s ancestors definitely possessed a Great Demon Bloodline, and that one of those Great Demons had significant ties with the legendary Golden Winged Great Roc.

Such Divine Power was no longer mere Body Divine Power; it was an Innate Divine Ability embedded within the demon blood!!

He activated the Immortal Martial Artist’s special characteristic of ’Concentrate into Nascent Soul, disperse into Dharma Image,’ focusing the power of his spirit, transforming it into a Dharma Image that stood before him.

The terrifying suction came forth, actually swallowing Fang Xing’s Dharma Image into its belly.

Fang Xing blinked, feeling the island master truly knew no fear.

Daring to swallow his own Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Image!

Wasn’t this essentially like swallowing a nuclear bomb?

Boom!

Right after the Golden Winged Great Roc Dharma Image swallowed the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Image, it turned its head around, its roc eyes filled with ferocity, gazing at the Jiedan Cultivators, ready to continue its devouring.

Suddenly, a radiant red light burst forth from its abdomen.

The red light intensified, ultimately exploding with a bang!

The back of the Golden Winged Great Roc Dharma Image blew apart, revealing a red sun with Fang Xing’s Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Image emerging from within.

The Great Sun Tathagata sat atop the Golden Winged Great Roc, forming a picture of Roc carrying the Sun, which all the Jiedan Cultivators would imprint in their minds.

The Pengmo Island Master’s complexion turned pale, and he staggered backward, barely managing to suppress a mouthful of reversed blood in his throat, when he heard Fang Xing say, "Island Master, what a move. How about considering this trial a draw?"

Both the Golden Winged Great Roc Dharma Image and the Great Sun Tathagata Dharma Image dissipated.

The Pengmo Island Master finally regained a trace of sanity in his eyes, slightly nodding, "Fang Yun True Monarch’s Body Refining Divine Power is astonishingly peerless, I am impressed."

"Haha, the Island Master merging Innate Divine Abilities and Body Divine Power into one also greatly broadened my horizon..."

Fang Xing’s Cultivation Avatar stepped forward timely, "The Pengmo Island Master is too modest; I have already instructed someone to organize a banquet. Why don’t we go and enjoy a few drinks together?"

"Good."

The Pengmo Island Master glanced at Fang Xing’s true form and said, "With the presence of Fellow Daoist Fang Yun here, I believe Ming Kun Island will definitely have the strength to protect the Transmission Array. As for the distribution rules... let’s stick to the previous agreement..."

The previous rule, in fact, was that both sides charged Cultivators a transmission fee.

And those travelling from the Outer Sea to the Inner Sea certainly outnumbered those returning from the Inner Sea.

Like regular people, Cultivators also naturally moved towards more prosperous places.

Thus, the South Fire Sect actually had to share some of the top-grade Spirit Stones they earned from the transmission fees with Pengmo Island every year.

Because if they didn’t, the Pengmo Island Master could simply shut down the Transmission Array or even attack!

But with Fang Xing and ’Fang Yun’ there, the Pengmo Island Master knew he could not defeat them, so he definitely couldn’t take a cut.

This was equivalent to an indirect profit concession since not only was the other party more powerful, but he also left some face for him.

Immediately, the Pengmo Island Master squeezed out a rigid smile and accompanied Fang Xing to the banquet.

Leaving Xin Nonggui, Hong Wanjin, and others exchanging glances.

"True Monarch Fang Yun can actually contend with the Pengmo Island Master without falling behind?"

Xin Nonggui was the most shocked and muttered, "Apart from the Great True Monarchs and the elusive God Transformation Venerables, there seems to be no one in the Hanhai Immortal Cultivation World who can dominate."

"It seems that we need not only to continue operating but also to step up our investments."

Lei Hong, lost in thought, said, "With the abilities of the two island masters, Ming Kun Island will only become more prosperous than it was under the South Fire Sect!"

In the Cultivation World, to successfully manage a marketplace or even an Immortal City, managing methods and concepts are very important, but they are not the most critical.

What’s most important is sufficient martial force to ensure security!

Otherwise, one could easily find themselves in a situation where, while the neighbor hoards food, I arm myself, and the neighbor becomes my grain store...

Fang Xing’s power exceeded that of the South Fire Sect, therefore this Sea Market will inevitably attract even more Cultivators!

...

Before long.

News that Nanli Island, rather Ming Kun Island, was reopening its Sea Market and the Transmission Array was as usual, spread across nearby seas.

Along with this news, came tales of the showdown between True Monarch Fang Yun and the Pengmo Island Master, a battle without a victor.

The Sea Market, which had started to empty, immediately became bustling with people once more.

Heavenly Yin Island.

An Nascent Soul True Monarch enveloped in a shroud of black fog strolled amid green mountains and clear waters.

The lake, like a piece of jade, overflowed with astonishing Spiritual Energy.

Suddenly, the lake stirred violently, half crimson and half bleakly white, as if it were a Tai Chi symbol of Yin and Yang.

A whirlpool appeared, and the silhouette of Hao Yue True Monarch slowly emerged.

Her figure was graceful, dressed in gossamer-like garments as light as cicada wings, her face bloomed with a rosy blush, radiating a feeling of roundness and fulfillment.

"Dark River True Monarch."

Hao Yue True Monarch spoke, "You must have news since you’ve come."

"I have gathered all that the Dark Cloud Palace knows, right here."

Dark River True Monarch’s voice was raspy; with a flick of his wrist, a cluster of black light containing the Jade Scroll landed in Hao Yue True Monarch’s hand.

Hao Yue True Monarch scanned it with her Divine Sense and immediately exclaimed in annoyance, "The intelligence from Dark Cloud Palace seems no different from what my sect has obtained..."

"Those two True Monarchs have a mysterious origin, seemingly appearing out of nowhere in the Outer Sea..."

Dark River True Monarch said, "However, our Dark Cloud Palace has already penetrated those close to them... If you desire more, name your price."

"Hmph..." Hao Yue True Monarch snorted, "Now that person can stand toe-to-toe with the Pengmo Island Master, no matter how high I bid, unless your Dark Cloud Palace is going to take action for me and kill that man?"

"Hehe, that could happen, our Hall Master of the Dark Cloud Palace is a Great True Monarch, after all."

Dark River True Monarch chuckled, "It’s a pity... True Monarch Hao Yue, you can’t afford the price for our Hall Master to take action..."
