Chapter 432: Chapter 348: Annihilation (Extra Chapter for Subscription)_2

Even if weaker than a Great True Monarch, there is a stark difference between defeating and annihilating.

Only a force capable of exterminating a pair of dual Cultivation companions must possess the combat prowess of a Great True Monarch!

Following this battle, the fame of True Monarch Fang Yun spread even wider.

"Body Cultivation Great True Monarch?"

"Hmm, that speculation seems quite plausible..."

Onboard the Ming Kun.

Fang Xing was playing with a fan in his hand.

The fan’s surface was adorned with Phoenix Feather patterns, exquisitely embroidered in a way that it could be considered divinely inspired, it was the ’Cloud Wing Phoenix Feather Fan’—a top-grade Fourth Rank Spiritual Treasure from the Tianyin Sect!

In terms of power, it was second to none among the spiritual treasures he held.

Even if he were to sell it for Spirit Stones, it would likely fetch a higher price than the ’Bright Moon Spirit Cauldron.’

Of course, in Fang Xing’s opinion, it still couldn’t compare to the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron.

"These True Monarchs Huo Yun and Hao Yue are indeed cultivators at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and can be summarized in one word—fat!"

Fang Xing felt quite emotional.

However, this was to be expected as there must be several thousand Nascent Soul True Monarchs in the Hanhai Cultivation World.

But there were only a handful of Great True Monarchs, as the bottleneck from the mid to late stage of Nascent Soul was so terrifying that even cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots could feel despair.

Without Great True Monarchs making a move, naturally it was that group of mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who stood tall and formidable, possessing many valuable treasures.

Not to mention, these two mid-stage Nascent Soul True Monarchs were originally leaders of their respective powers, with legacies left by Great True Monarchs from their ancestors, their wealth was naturally substantial.

However, now all of this had fallen into Fang Xing’s hands.

Even before feeding them to the Second Nascent Soul, he made use of the Soul Search secret technique to wring out every last bit of utility from these Nascent Souls, obtaining many valuable clues and pieces of information.

"Some treasures, hidden caches... they aren’t really much."

Fang Xing couldn’t be bothered to chase down even hidden lineage disciples.

What really caught his eye were the pieces of information about the Primordial Spirit Sword Sect in the minds of these two Great Nascent Soul True Monarchs!

"Primordial Spirit Sword Sect has five Hidden Veins passed down? Gold Sword Lineage, Wanxiang Lineage, Thunder Sword Lineage, Immortal Lineage, Killing Sword Lineage... they correspond exactly with the five sections of the inheritance Sword Manuals."

"What a pity, the Immortal Lineage has rebelled, now taken in by the Piaomiao Immortal Palace... The other lineages also seem somewhat unwell."

"Oh? Does the Gold Sword Lineage refer to my Heavenly Sword Sect? Then there’s nothing to worry about..."

"As for the Killing Sword Lineage? Cultivating the ’Killing Sword Scripture,’ entering the Dao through slaughter, with a heavy aura of murder... There’s actually a bit of news about it."

This showed that mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, due to their status, knew substantially more than early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

Not even True Monarch Dark River was privy to the current news about the Killing Sword Lineage.

"The Killing Sword Lineage only passes down to one person in each generation, cultivates at an incredibly fast pace, with lethal sword techniques, vigorous, and extremely prone to demonic deviation... but once they achieve something, it is often quite astounding."

"Because Sword Cultivators of the Killing Sword Lineage need to release their desire to kill from time to time, or else they will inevitably go insane... hence they occasionally cause big trouble."

"In the Outer Sea recently, a mid-stage Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator has emerged, self-titled ’Taibai Sword Immortal,’ with ruthless approaches, active in the ’Red Algae Sea Area’... suspected to be a disciple of the Killing Sword Lineage."

The information was questionable, but having it was better than nothing.

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked towards the Spirit Eye Land.

The fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was like clouds and mist, converging towards a certain center, clearly a phenomenon of breakthrough!

Judging from the situation, it wasn’t just any low-rank cultivator’s breakthrough.

"Oh? Nascent Soul Middle Stage?"

Fang Xing muttered to himself as he watched his own Cultivation Avatar step forward.

The fluctuations of Mana around it were peculiar, at one moment appearing to be at the peak of the early stage of Nascent Soul, and at another as though it had already broken through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

The Cultivation Avatar chuckled lightly and touched its Heavenly Spirit, and a green-black All Techniques Ghost Infant appeared.

Its aura was robust, clearly having already broken into the middle stage of Nascent Soul, though still somewhat clumsy in controlling its power.

"Good, it wasn’t in vain that I fed you so many Nascent Souls, you have finally broken into the middle stage of Nascent Soul."

"I didn’t expect the Cultivation Avatar to toil for decades in harsh cultivation to be inferior to the Ghost Infant with a single gulp."

Fang Xing laughed heartily.

Immediately after, he reached out to take the All Techniques Ghost Infant.

The state of this All Techniques Ghost Infant was not proper at this moment, its little face filled with resentful and venomous colors.

Once the restriction were released, it might begin to backlash!

"The Second Nascent Soul secret technique of the Wanxiang Sect has too many vulnerabilities and flaws after all."

Fang Xing shook his head upon seeing this scene, murmuring the Great Sun Tathagata Mantra, essentially giving the All Techniques Ghost Infant a factory reset.

Moments later, the All Techniques Ghost Infant opened its eyes, revealing a clear yet foolish gaze, and was promptly seized by the Cultivation Avatar.

"A strong servant with a weak master is a path to disaster."

The Cultivation Avatar placed the All Techniques Ghost Infant in the position of the dantian, where it could be seen that beside the Ghost Infant, there was also a tender and pale Sword Infant.

Although it was weaker than the All Techniques Ghost Infant at that time, its foundation was profound, its eyes bright, and the sword scar between its brows seemed almost ready to emerge.

"With the aid of the All Techniques Ghost Infant, I can indeed possess the mana of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage."

"With my control over it, even if it advances to the Nascent Soul Late Stage in the future, it will never escape the palm of my hand."

Upon seeing this, the Sword Infant couldn’t help but giggle and casually tossed the Green Sun Demon Lamp to the All Techniques Ghost Infant, ordering it to continue refining the treasure.

This "Green Sun Demon Lamp" was currently only a Mid-grade Fourth Rank, but had great potential for advancement.

After all, Fang Xing still had a Fifth Rank Nanming Stone in his possession.

Furthermore, now that it had become the All Techniques Ghost Infant’s lifebound spiritual treasure, because of the massive power of the "Purple-Blue Divine Flame" on it, it was difficult to let go.

"Once the All Techniques Ghost Infant advances to the Nascent Soul Late Stage, this Green Sun Demon Lamp will need to be at least Top Grade Fourth Rank to be sufficient... By then, it can also be renamed ’Green Sun Divine Lamp’..."

Fang Xing stroked his chin, lost in thought.

...

Iron Sword Sect.

True Monarch Huo Yun summoned several Core Formation juniors to his cave mansion.

"Brother Huo Yun..."

Junior Sister Murong said, "Now the outside world is buzzing with the news that the two great island masters of Ming Kun Island could fight off a Great True Monarch of the Nascent Soul Late Stage. The rental prices for all kinds of cave mansions in the markets have skyrocketed... If we take this opportunity to lease out, we should be able to make a fortune."

Although subleasing like this certainly wouldn’t be acknowledged by Ming Kun Island.

As long as the citizens don’t raise the issue, the officials won’t pursue it, so they’d just turn a blind eye to it.

"After subleasing, we can take advantage of the situation to occupy ’Flying Snake Island’. The island’s Third Rank Spirit Vein is not bad, and currently, the ’Heavenly Snake Sect’ that controls it is a vassal of the ’Tianyin Sect’, so it’s a good time to strike and beat a dog when it’s down..."

Junior Brother Zhou, also a Sword Cultivator, became excited at the prospect of battle.

"This matter... might need to be considered for the long term. Our Iron Sword Sect may have some fate with Ming Kun Island."

True Monarch Huo Yun’s expression changed several times, yet he spoke thus.

"Fate?"

Junior Sister Murong and the others exchanged glances, all somewhat speechless.

True Monarch Huo Yun, however, didn’t plan to elaborate.

These juniors not only had lower cultivation than him, their swordsmanship was even further beneath his.

With the Sword Dao Realm that True Monarch Huo Yun had reached, he was on the threshold of the ’Sword Intent Formation’. Once he made a breakthrough to Nascent Soul, he would be a true Nascent Soul Sword Lord!

The insights he could see were not necessarily apparent to his juniors.

"...In any case, pay more attention to the news about the island master of Ming Kun Island."

True Monarch Huo Yun became somewhat wistful, "Besides, within our sect, the five Hidden Veins... The Killing Sword Lineage seems to be active in the Outer Sea. We need to be alert."

...

A month later.

"Everything’s so calm..."

Fang Xing sat on the sofa of the Ming Kun, his face filled with helplessness: "I’m such a rule-breaker standing right here, why isn’t anyone coming to attack me?"

"The cowards of Dark Cloud Palace, all of them!"

"And those first-rate forces, even the God Transformation Venerables, just the same!"

Fang Xing, fishing for detractors, expressed his profound disappointment.

"If none of you come, how will my Second Nascent Soul progress? How am I supposed to cause trouble in the Main Universe?"

After venting his frustration, he got so bored he resorted to watching surveillance footage with Xiao Lü.

"Not coming directly to my door, perhaps they’re monitoring in secret, perfect for tracking them down..."

During this period, Fang Xing had indeed increased the surveillance intensity on Ming Kun Island and managed to catch several rats.

"It’s just not clear which power is behind this."

"Hmm? There’s one right here on the island, Iron Sword Sect? A trash sect that at best reaches Core Formation dares to provoke me?!"
