Chapter 528: Chapter 427: Invitation to Battle

"The lifespan in Mortal Realm varies greatly between humans and demons..."

"In theory, the Demon Race lives much longer... but the core members are limited to five hundred years."

"After five hundred years, they are considered too old and automatically retire..."

With some contemplation, Fang Xing flew out of Black Dragon Peak.

After all, this is just the Void Illusion Realm, not a place for cultivation, at most a practice ground for cultivation techniques and trying some self-harming secret techniques.

For example, the ’Coiling Snake Secret Technique’. If it fails, it could lead to internal injuries or even a collapse of mana foundation.

It’s best to practice and get familiar with it in the Void Illusion Realm before trying it in the outside world.

Even so, this little bit is enough to attract a lot of peripheral members to join Boundaryless Mountain.

Swish swish!

Just as Fang Xing flew out of Black Dragon Peak, several streaks of light flashed and caught up with him.

"Daoist Black Dragon, please stop."

A flash of fire, and a man with long fiery red hair blocked Fang Xing, a slight smile on his face: "I am a core member, Huo Lingzi, here specifically to make the acquaintance of Daoist Black Dragon..."

"So it’s Daoist Huo Lingzi..."

Fang Xing nodded: "May I ask what advice you have?"

"None... I’m just curious about Daoist Black Dragon’s methods, would you care for a duel? Let’s spar with our martial skills, no Primordial Spirit Treasures, just standard templates..."

The so-called ’standard templates’ are actually the ordinary templates that regular members use at the beginning, with Mortal Realm cultivation, Mortal Grade mana, and no special treatments.

Core members, however, can bring their true body’s templates into the Void Illusion Realm.

This way, the experience of cultivating in the illusion becomes more accurate.

"A duel? Sure..."

Fang Xing immediately agreed.

He was quite curious about the methods of Boundaryless Mountain’s core members.

Upon hearing this, the green-skirted woman nearby looked expectant.

"Good, Daoist is straightforward, then here and now, please!"

Huo Lingzi, as a core member, had this bit of authority. As soon as he finished speaking, a platform appeared mid-air.

It was over ten miles long and wide, with a layer of blue light at the outermost edge.

"Please!"

A trace of joy appeared on Huo Lingzi’s face as he immediately flew onto the platform.

From the mountain peaks of the core members, gazes shot over, all scrutinizing.

"Hmm? That new member is finally going to make a move? With a Heavenly Demon recommendation, there must be something exceptional..."

"After all, he is one of our Demon Race..."

"Hmph... likely a connection-dependent person."

The last speaker was evidently from the Human Clan’s cultivator faction.

...

"Please!"

Fang Xing flew onto the platform.

He didn’t care about winning or losing; he just wanted to witness the methods of the core members.

Otherwise, just with his true body template, the current Huo Lingzi probably couldn’t even break his skin?

Even with the current template, his will remained unchanged, and a single will attack could defeat his opponent.

But he had no intention of using these two trump cards; instead, he wanted to hone his Law Comprehension.

Hiss hiss!

Raising his hand, Fang Xing conjured crimson flames, forming a long spear.

The spearhead flickered with lines of fire rules, forming a beastly virtual image, known as—Fire God’s Fury!

Seeing this, a trace of annoyance flashed across Huo Lingzi’s face: "Are you... insulting me?"

He conjured a horsetail whisk, gently sweeping it.

A flame appeared, instantly transforming into a green bird.

The green bird pecked lightly, its beak carrying a trace of pale flames, landing on the fiery beast.

The fiery beast let out a sad cry before disappearing.

"You dare use only the third level of Law Comprehension against me... are you belittling me?"

Huo Lingzi shouted, his horsetail whisk moving gently.

Crimson flames gathered, forming a lifelike bird.

It was only palm-sized, but its feathers and claws were distinct, seemingly composed entirely of fire law power.

Constructing a living body with the power of laws, this was the realm of ’Law Body’!

The essence of this fiery bird was the same as that of the Demon Prince Fu Shan’s giant face before.

The advantage of fourth level Law Comprehension could even cover the gap of several small realms or mana qualities.

"Go!"

Huo Lingzi pointed at Fang Xing, and the red bird immediately flew out, passing through layers of spear shadows.

Fang Xing spun his spear, and ’Star Like Fire’ poured out.

On the spearhead, the void shattered, and in the torrent seemed to be a rotating planet.

The planet ignited... becoming a constant star.

The constant star’s flames expanded, engulfing the red bird in an instant.

"Good spear technique... but too low Law Comprehension!"

Outside, the green-skirted woman looked puzzled: "How could such strength merit a recommendation from a Heavenly Demon?"

"Maybe... just a matter of connections. He has a background..."

A Human Clan cultivator sighed: "Like that Kun Yuanzi..."

Mentioning this, all core members fell silent.

They were referred to as Heavenly Immortal or Heavenly Demon reserves, but in reality, achieving that was quite difficult.

Conversely... those heirs of Heavenly Immortals possessed countless treasures. Even if their Law Comprehension was slightly inferior, their actual combat power could be comparable due to the superior mana quality and Supreme Treasures bestowed by Great Abilities.

This Black Dragon did poorly in actual combat, but his true body in reality might not be.

Chirp chirp!

The red bird, amidst the constant star flames, seemed to be reborn in the fire, transforming into a thousand-foot phoenix, coming before Fang Xing, its beak carrying pale flames, pecking lightly.

Swoosh!

In a flash, Fang Xing passed through the flaming phoenix, arriving in front of Huo Lingzi, his spear striking continuously, like a fire tree blooming with silver flowers.

"Breaking Void Flash? Void Dao’s second level?"

Huo Lingzi remained unfazed. His whisk moved, forming threads like tree branches, continuously blocking the spear shadows.

"Hmm?"

Fang Xing keenly sensed the difference in the horsetail whisk’s threads. They were endless, seeming like water, permeating into the spear shadows.

"Water Principle?"

"And a hint of water-fire fusion... fusion of laws?"

"No wonder he’s a core member of Boundaryless Mountain... though his Water Principle comprehension is far below the Fire Principle, it’s still impressive."

As Fang Xing silently pondered, Huo Lingzi lightly waved the whisk. Water and fire fused and exploded abruptly.

Boom!

The terrifying light instantly enveloped Fang Xing’s black-clad intent incarnation, turning him to ashes.

...

Outside the platform.

With a flash of light, a identical Fang Xing re-logged into Boundaryless Mountain.

Being destroyed in the Void Illusion Realm was like dying in a game, with no impact on his true body.

However, Huo Lingzi’s unhesitant attack made Fang Xing realize this person held animosity towards him.

"Haha... Daoist Black Dragon, I failed to hold back, please forgive me..."

Huo Lingzi flicked his whisk and floated over.

"No worries, it was just a spar after all."

Fang Xing chuckled.

As for the onlookers, they all withdrew their gazes.

Some core members of the Demon Race were disappointed: "Another one with connections..."

However, since he was a connection-dependent person, they were even more cautious not to offend him.

So, they appeared more enthusiastic on the surface.

But who knew how much they rejected and looked down on him behind the scenes.

Fang Xing didn’t care about these at all, as it didn’t bother him in the least.

Soon, the news of this battle spread throughout Boundaryless Mountain.

Outside the palace of Great Saint Huntian, the giant ape scratched its fur, watching the battle playback:

"Third level Fire Principle, second level Void Principle... The successor of Lady Qinghua wouldn’t be this weak..."

"For a Heavenly Demon to take notice, there must be something extraordinary... perhaps in his true body?"

"Forget it, with this idle time, better to study rod techniques and eat a few more celestial peaches..."

The giant ape yawned.

...

"Boundaryless Mountain’s core members indeed have Law Comprehension of fourth level or above... In terms of elite, they surpass Seven Killings Demon Palace’s true disciples, comparable to Demon Princes..."

In the Cave Mansion, Fang Xing mused.

This was actually quite normal, as Seven Killings Demon Palace had only one Heavenly Immortal, the Seven Killings Taoist.

In contrast, both the Green Emperor Palace and Boundaryless Mountain were true major forces in the Great Realm, with Chaos Realm overseeing them!

Their core disciples naturally had higher requirements.

Fang Xing felt no shame in losing face and began to peruse the Time Dao Principle inheritances he needed.

"The first three volumes of ’Inch of Time’... 8,000 merit points."

"The complete ’Heavenly Emperor’s Scroll’... 13,000 merit points."

"The upper part of ’Spring and Autumn Record’... 9,000 merit points."

After spending substantial time, Fang Xing found the Time Dao Principle inheritances he needed from the vast sea of inheritances.

"’Heavenly Emperor’s Scroll’ is good, containing the most secret techniques... but the price is a bit over my budget... However, there are discounts for core disciples’ first purchase of secret books."

"These three inheritances are all Time Dao Principles, just focusing on different aspects... ’Inch of Time’ leans more on spear technique, interpreting Time Dao Principle through spear technique."

"’Spring and Autumn Record’ focuses on saber technique... With Spring and Autumn Saber, and Spring and Autumn Secret Technique, one can cut the enemy’s lifespan... But Primordial Spirit Realm lives for millennia, and Heavenly Immortal Realm lives for millions... Unless meeting an old cultivator nearing death, it’s not easy to cut off much lifespan..."

"Comparatively, ’Inch of Time’ is better... I’ve been using spears more lately anyway."

Fang Xing chose to purchase.

After deducting merit points, streams of light gathered and formed a black iron book in front of him.

The time around the black iron book seemed to ripple faintly.

"Impressive, Void Illusion Realm."

Fang Xing exclaimed, opening the first page of the black iron book.

"I, Black Dragon... swear by Karma Dao not to divulge the inheritance."

In the Void Illusion Realm, any purchased inheritances, secret techniques, or secret books... the first page was always a Karma Oath.

Fang Xing naturally wouldn’t divulge it, so he made the oath and turned to the second page...
