"Great True Monarch? I’m only afraid he won’t come!"

Fang Xing responded aggressively.

"Fine, it looks like we cannot resolve this amicably today..."

True Monarch Dark River felt some regret in his heart.

He regretted his greed for taking on the task from True Monarch Hao Yue, regretted his overconfidence for staying on the island permanently, and regretted not leaving right when the array was activated.

Now, with the Wanxiang Unpredictability Array covering the market, he could forcibly break through an escape route, but that would certainly slow him down for a moment.

That amount of time was enough for Fang Xing to chase him down.

"There are two Great True Monarchs on Ming Kun Island; this one’s manageable, but if it were True Monarch Fang Yun, who is on par with the master of Pengmo Island, escaping intact would really be difficult."

True Monarch Dark River narrowed his eyes slightly.

In the next instant, dark light filled his surroundings, and eight iron pieces flew out from his sleeve.

These eight pieces of iron were laid out in the Bagua arrangement, their surfaces engraved with an abundance of complex runes; shockingly, they formed an Array Tool!

"Cloud Iron Eight Array Map!"

True Monarch Dark River continuously formed hand seals, dark radiant brilliance overflowing from the eight iron talismans, enveloping Fang Xing like a cage.

Thereafter, he didn’t look back as he transformed into a beam of light and rushed out of Ming Kun Island.

True Monarch Dark River was not foolish; battling a peer within the Fourth-Rank array?

No Nascent Soul True Monarch would act so rashly.

Not to mention, there was more than one Nascent Soul True Monarch on Ming Kun Island. If that ’True Monarch Fang Yun’ were to intervene, he would truly be stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Therefore, True Monarch Dark River did not hesitate to sacrifice a precious treasure just to trap Fang Xing temporarily and then flee.

With his strength as a Nascent Soul True Monarch, plus a few High-Rank Prohibition-breaking Talismans in his storage bag, just reaching the edge of the array and delaying for a few breaths were enough to break through the array!

Then, the world would be vast, and he could roam freely.

This ’Cloud Iron Eight Array Map’ truly deserved its reputation as a treasure coveted even by Nascent Soul Cultivators; activated, it summoned a myriad of talismans sealing the heavens and the earth, spreading endless dark light around like an iron cage, blocking Fang Xing inside.

Not only that, but gusts of wind and thunder appeared, crashing down like a fierce rain!

Fang Xing chuckled lightly, the ’Green Sun Demon Lamp’ appearing in his hand.

The power of his Nascent Soul at its peak filled it, immediately bringing forth a green protective light—the ’Qingyang Shield’!

Previously refined, the Green Sun Demon Lamp was already a Mid-grade Fourth Rank Spiritual Treasure.

Combined with his peak Nascent Soul power, the ’Qingyang Shield’ it formed was so defensively robust that, for a time, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator could not break through.

A green protective light enveloped Fang Xing entirely, exceptionally thick and immovable, allowing him to remain unharmed despite the onslaught of wind and thunder.

"Go!"

Fang Xing flicked his finger, and the ’Purple-Blue Divine Flame’ instantly flew out from the lamp of the Green Sun Demon Lamp, transforming into a purple-blue Fire Flood Dragon.

It expanded continuously into a dragon tens of meters long, each of its scales vividly lifelike, carrying intense fiery power.

The Purple-Blue Fire Flood Dragon shook its head and tail, charging into the Cloud Iron Eight Array Map, spewing flames that incinerated the wind and thunder. With a harsh whip of its tail, it struck the dark light!

The dark light trembled fiercely, and glimpses of the outside world could be vaguely seen; one of the iron talismans even showed a crack but ultimately stabilized.

"That is indeed a fine treasure."

Fang Xing nodded as his external Nascent Soul emerged, flicking his finger repeatedly.

One after another, Purple-Blue Fire Flood Dragons appeared, and ultimately, eight dragons roared together, each charging towards an iron talisman.

Fiercely!

Under the envelopment of the intense purple-blue true fire, the dark light was finally broken through, striking the body of the iron talisman.

After a single refinement, the Cloud Iron Eight Array Map turned into eight pieces of junk metal and fell from the sky.

Fang Xing let out a long howl, transforming his figure into a sword light; the Jiedan Cultivators merely hearing his howl in the market felt their mana destabilize.

Immediately after, a golden sword thread reached True Monarch Dark River with an inconceivable speed.

"This... this this..."

In the sky above Iron Sword Sect.

When True Monarch Dark River earlier appeared, these Jiedan True Men were startled, aware a battle between True Monarchs was about to erupt, and they dared not lag behind.

Fire Dragon True Man had appeared in the sky, ready to watch the battle to decide their sect’s course of action.

Unexpectedly, True Monarch Dark River fled without fighting, then the Island Master of Ming Kun immediately broke through the array and employed such an unparalleled Sword Escape Technique to pursue his enemy.

"This..."

Junior Brother Zhou, watching that golden sword thread, changed his expression, "To actually condense the sword light to such an unbelievable extent, the speed of the Sword Escape, truly unmatched in the world..."

Fire Dragon True Man was even more shocked, his palm hidden in his sleeve shaking slightly with excitement, ’No mistake, although it’s disguised, most Nascent Soul True Monarchs might not recognize it... but I do, this is the ’Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Escape’!’

’Does the Gold Sword Lineage of our sect still have an inheritance?’

’No! Can’t be sure, maybe the Gold Sword Lineage has already declined, and the inheritance fell into the hands of another sect, deliberately thrown out as bait?’

’This island master’s background, we must inquire carefully in the future and observe closely...’

’If it truly is from the Gold Sword Lineage, then we might have strong support, and might well join in grand achievements...’

...

Unaware of the thoughts of a Jiedan Real Person on his own island, Fang Xing had no idea.

He turned into a sword light and arrived at the edge of the Wanxiang Uncertain Array, where he saw the Five Mixed Demons forming a Battle Formation and entangling the True Monarch of Dark River. He couldn’t help but smile, "True Monarch, why would you leave? Could it be that the hospitality of this Island Master is lacking? Why not stay?"

Fang Xing laughed heartily and with a wave of his sleeve, eight Purple-Blue Fire Flood Dragons flew out to besiege the True Monarch of Dark River.

Ever since he learned the intelligence about the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect, he had been intentionally concealing his own foundation.

The sword techniques from the "Great Freedom Mysterious Gold Sword Scripture" were to be used as little as possible, and even when used, they were to be concealed.

In this way, unless he encountered a Cultivator who was particularly familiar with this Sword Manual, it was highly probable that they would only think he had cultivated a Gold Attribute Sword Technique, and they might not detect anything more.

’However, even if they did notice... it’s still not certain who would deal with who.’

’What if I deliberately reveal my identity, then have my true body come and fish for a big catch? The Nascent Soul True Monarchs attracted would likely be enough for my Second Nascent Soul to break through to the Nascent Soul Late Stage in one breath, right?’

Fang Xing considered a rather constructive idea in his heart.

’But by doing so, I would easily become a big demon that everyone shouts to strike down... and it might even draw the attention of the God Transformation Venerable, or even the Divinity Transformation Venerable...’

’Let’s still play it safe for now, at least until I understand more about the situation at the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect...’

The Mountain Gate of the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect had sunk; for many years, no Cultivator had successfully explored it, even the God Transformation Venerable had been turned away from its gates, obviously something unusual.

Now, in the entire Cultivation World, the only thing that could attract Fang Xing was the Void Refining Inheritance.

Of course, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that greatly enhanced the power of the Nascent Soul, or the Nascent Souls of other Cultivators, also counted.

Facing the siege of the Purple-Blue Fire Flood Dragons, the True Monarch of Dark River did not dare to be negligent and released his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, an oddly-shaped black hook—Dark River Hook!

He operated this hook, and instantly a black river appeared out of nowhere, guarding his surroundings tightly sealed, and with a movement of his Divine Sense, a set of sword techniques was unleashed.

The flying hook was similar to a Flying Sword, and even more sinister and venomous, making it extremely difficult to defend against!

"Go!"

Under the operation of the True Monarch of Dark River, the Dark River Hook, like a poisonous dragon, tangled with a Fire Flood Dragon and even displayed the sword techniques of Sword Intent Heavenly Heart, seeking to slay the soul of the Fire Flood Dragon!

’This person is not purely a Sword Cultivator, having refined a Nascent Soul Spirit Body rather than a Sword Infant... It’s already quite impressive that he has reached the Third Realm in his Sword Dao.’

Watching this scene, the corner of Fang Xing’s mouth revealed a hint of a cold smile, "Just trying to kill the soul of a Fire Flood Dragon? Let’s see if your flying hook can withstand the Purple-Blue Divine Flame first..."

There are five stages in Sword Cultivation: Qi, Gang, Intent, Shi... and the fifth realm—Sword Breaks All Laws!

As a Sword Cultivist who started halfway, reaching the realm of Sword Intent was already quite impressive.

Under the operation of the True Monarch of Dark River, that flying hook moved with incredible agility, resembling a shooting star, playing around with seven Fire Flood Dragons, before a final sword thrust into the body of the eighth Fire Flood Dragon.

"Success!"

The True Monarch of Dark River was pleased, but his expression suddenly changed.

He felt a terrifying burning sensation coming from his Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, the Dark River Hook wailed mournfully, and even showed signs of destruction.

Furthermore, a flame was following the connection from the Lifebound Spiritual Treasure, burning his Divine Soul!

"What a terrifying demon fire!"

He hastily formed Sword Technique hand seals, retrieving the Dark River Hook and looking at its damage, his face showing an expression of extreme pain.

Roar Roar!

In the next instant, the eight Fire Flood Dragons followed like shadows, spitting out Purple-Blue Divine Flame, evaporating the Dark River completely.

Not only that, but the Five Mixed Demons around the battlefield formed a Battle Formation, striking a sudden blow.

And there was the suppression from the Wanxiang Uncertain Array...

The face of the True Monarch of Dark River reddened, forcibly suppressing his internal injuries, and shouted loudly, "I am the biological brother of Dark Cloud Great True Monarch, the Lord of Ming Kun Island; you should not mislead yourself!"

"Such a lot of nonsense."

Fang Xing slightly furrowed his brows, the eight Fire Flood Dragons merged into one Purple-Blue Fire Dragon, majestic and powerful, pressing down with a dragon claw.

The True Monarch of Dark River had no choice but to throw out an Iron Shield Spirit Treasure and flew to the left.

At that moment, the Five Mixed Demons each roared, and the heavens and earth seemed to gain an enormous color wheel, which thunderously smashed down towards the True Monarch of Dark River.

Bang!

The True Monarch of Dark River resisted the Five Elements Grinding, his figure delayed, and then a column of light from the ’Wanxiang Uncertain Array’ shattered his Protective Treasure Light, causing him to spit out a mouthful of reverse blood.

To add insult to injury, the Purple-Blue Fire Dragon knocked away the Iron Shield Spirit Treasure, and a mass of Purple-Blue Divine Flame crashed down.

"Ah!"

The True Monarch of Dark River screamed, his Magic Body instantly turned to ash.

Hundreds of zhang away, a flash of light in the Void revealed a small Nascent Soul Spirit Body.

Dressed in black, surrounded by black mist, it gestured with a small hand.

The Dark River Hook turned into a black lightning bolt and fell into the small hand of the Nascent Soul.

—Nascent Soul Soul Emergence!

"Island Master of Ming Kun... you’ve destroyed my Magic Body; this vengeance must be avenged!"

The True Monarch of Dark River threw out harsh words, preparing for his Nascent Soul to enter the Void and escape from the area covered by the Wanxiang Uncertain Array.

But just at that moment, the Void seemed to solidify, making the True Monarch of Dark River’s Nascent Soul seem as if ’frozen’ in mid-air.

A golden hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere brought a sensation of freezing the Void, and powerfully slammed down, grabbing the Nascent Soul of the True Monarch of Dark River in its palm.

It was the ’Immortal Martial Unification Hand Seal’!
