Chapter 555: Chapter 453: The Eight Divisions of the Heavenly Demon

Qingming Castle.

Fang Xing held the Time Mirror, and one after another, black-clad youths appeared, each doing their own thing.

Some were patrolling Qingming Castle, some were checking accounts.

Some were comprehending the "Panwu Code" and "Heavenly Emperor’s Scroll"...

Others were directly holding a long spear, practicing the "Inch of Time" spear technique.

Swish, swish, swish!

The long spear pierced forward, gathering numerous spear shadows, even faintly giving a sensation of freezing time.

"The highest killing move of ’Inch of Time’ — Time Freeze!"

In an instant, the time waves within Qingming Castle seemed to freeze momentarily.

When Fang Xing retrieved his spear, everything returned to normal.

The numerous Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators inside the castle didn’t even realize what had happened, still preoccupied with their own tasks.

"This move is accomplished!"

Fang Xing stood with his spear, immensely satisfied: "That year, Shiguang relied on this move to dominate the Primordial Spirit Realm unmatched, even daring to exchange blows with Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons, proving his status as a Primordial Spirit Dominator..."

Primordial Spirit Dominator, an incredible achievement of breaking certain limits.

For instance, Fang Xing, by virtue of his powerful physique, forcibly broke the boundary between the Primordial Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Demon Realm.

While the Green Slave in the Pangu Secret Realm comprehended the Dao in the Primordial Spirit Realm, mastering the Power of Dao.

Shiguang’s comprehension of the Time Law always fell short of the final step, but with top-tier law nearing Perfect status and combining it with his painstakingly created move, he could still match the Heavenly Immortals!

Moreover, some Primordial Spirit Dominators rely entirely on extremely compatible secret treasures tailored to their fighting style.

"Compared to my physique, my law comprehension has always been weak..."

"But now, with the killing move ’Inch of Time,’ combined with the Time Mirror... The power of law comprehension can rival the Time Heavenly Immortal."

Fang Xing named this move of Time Freeze as ’Inch of Time,’ in remembrance of the unfortunate predecessor Shiguang, while also secretly reminding himself not to meet the same fate.

"My lord!"

Soon after, Jiao Chi flew in: "We’ve received a secret report... In the Divine Wood Forest, there seems to be an innate spiritual treasure emerging!"

"Innate spiritual treasure?"

Fang Xing became interested; this is a miraculous item nurtured in a great world, formed by the creation of heaven and earth, potentially comparable to an Emperor Weapon!

Though he already possessed an Emperor Weapon, one can never have too many of these things!

"How did this news... leak out?"

He asked thoughtfully.

"It was spread by Sanyuan Daoren, who belongs to ’Hongtian Alliance,’ a rather scattered major force. Although they hold certain interests in Qingmu Realm, members rarely help each other and mostly fight on their own..."

Jiao Chi was very knowledgeable about Qingmu Realm: "Originally, it was Sanyuan Daoren who discovered the opportunity in the Divine Wood Forest, but was killed by Jin Yan Hou from the Green Emperor Palace... Jin Yan Hou thought he could block the news, but didn’t expect Sanyuan Daoren’s life-saving technique to be excellent. This person has sworn an oath, convincing numerous major forces..."

"And we’ve found through investigation that all the cultivators from Boundaryless Mountain in the special zone of the Divine Wood Forest have lost contact, evidently killed to keep the secret."

...

"The Green Emperor Palace certainly acts domineeringly."

Fang Xing couldn’t help but laugh.

"Not only us, but even disciples from the Original Demon Sect and Seven Star Pavilion in that area have all lost contact... That’s also evidence." Jiao Chi inquired: "My lord, what do you intend to do?"

"With so much excitement, naturally, we must go take a look, and perhaps encounter some Primordial Spirit Dominators."

Fang Xing chuckled.

He glanced at Duomi’s closed-door cultivation chamber.

This Holy Daughter of the Flower Wood Clan had long cultivated to the ninth level of the Primordial Spirit, gaining deeper insights into the Dao rules of wood after obtaining more exquisite teachings.

She had now reached the Perfect state of the fifth level of Dao rules, ready to take the final step to achieve the Heavenly Demon status at any time.

Yet, this step was the most difficult, blocking countless heroes and warriors.

Fang Xing thus thought of the special product of the Divine Wood Forest - the Purple Wood Spirit Heart.

Although it wasn’t as effective as an Enlightenment Pill, it still had some effect in aiding the breakthrough of wood element Dao rules.

’Moreover... This woman is a prodigy of Qingmu Realm. If she’s the first to breakthrough to a Heavenly Demon, she may be favored by fortune, her future achievements limitless...’

What’s called ’favored by fortune’ is essentially world favor, which loses its utility once you leave the world.

For true experts who can traverse the Great Realm, it’s irrelevant.

But for the natives, it’s very important.

If a cultivator possesses heavenly favor, even the Heavenly Tribulation can be lessened, better than any lightning avoidance treasure or secret technique.

In other words, if Duomi becomes Qingmu Realm’s first native to breakthrough to a Heavenly Demon, gaining world favor, she might have a chance at reaching the Chaos Realm in the future.

That tiny hope already exceeds over ninety-nine percent of Heavenly Immortals and Heavenly Demons.

...

A few days later.

Divine Wood Forest.

Outside the valley.

Rumble, rumble!

Countless Demon Birds and Demon Beasts roared, demon energy soared into the sky, forming dark green clouds.

Under the clouds, there were eight army formations, together forming a mysterious array, enveloping the central valley.

"The Heavenly Demon Eight-Part Array... Jin Yan Hou is really desperate, showing all his cards..."

A woman’s delicate laughter sounded: "If someone goes to the Green Emperor Palace’s residence now, they might easily break through..."

"Hmph, what good is breaking through? The Green Emperor Palace’s foundation is here, even the output from the Primordial Crystal mine is surely carried with them. Going there would only break some useless Cave Mansions and kill some servants, gaining nothing substantial..."

The Mountain Master Lie Feng of Wahuang Palace was also present, snorting coldly upon hearing this.

No matter the relations between the Green Emperor Palace and Wahuang Palace in the outside world, in Qingmu Realm they acted entirely according to each Primordial Spirit Dominator’s position.

This time, Jin Yan Hou exterminated disciples of Wahuang Palace nearby for his own benefit, so naturally, Mountain Master Lie Feng wouldn’t be pleased.

"Jin Yan Hou... come out!"

He shouted angrily: "Daring to kill my Wahuang Palace’s disciples, yet not admitting it? Heh, you play a good card, if not for Sanyuan Daoren escaping, you might have taken the treasure already..."

Above the Heavenly Demon Eight-Part Array, golden flames fused into Jin Yan Hou’s figure.

Wearing a golden crown, slightly hooked nose, exuding an imperial demeanor, he coldly surveyed the numerous Primordial Spirit Dominators present.

Only Primordial Spirit Dominators had the confidence to come and seize the innate spiritual treasure!

"Mountain Master Lie Feng of Wahuang Palace, Holy Daughter Miaomiao of Seven Star Palace, Daoist Ye of Three-leaf Sect, Spirit Turtle Child of Gui Ling Sect, Solo Traveler Ye Gu..."

Jin Yan Hou’s gaze swept one by one, a playful smile emerging: "There is only one innate spiritual treasure, amongst so many Primordial Spirit Dominators, how should it be divided?"

"Jin Yan Hou, don’t you think your attempt at sowing discord is too obvious?"

Holy Daughter Miaomiao frowned.

However, the other Primordial Spirit Dominators remained silent, not even standing together.

Clearly, Jin Yan Hou’s tactic was straightforward, or rather, even if he didn’t mention this, all Primordial Spirit Dominators would certainly turn against each other in the end.

"Even if it comes down to each one’s skill, you first have to break the Heavenly Demon Eight-Part Array!"

Daoist Ye, with a delicate appearance, played with a green leaf in his hand, extremely displeased with Jin Yan Hou’s actions.

Given the opposing formation, even if they summoned their elites, it would likely be difficult to shake it, merely increasing casualties.

This Daoist Ye was a Primordial Spirit Dominator of the Three-leaf Sect, said to be born under celestial omens, a green bird came as a sign, taken in by an elite elder of the Three-leaf Sect who meticulously guided him.

After entering the Primordial Spirit Realm, he encountered a miracle, obtaining the rare ’Three Green Leaves,’ whose power surpassed Emperor Weapon but wasn’t one, allowing ordinary Primordial Spirit cultivators to exert certain power.

Daoist Ye then created ’Three Green Secret Techniques’ based on these leaves, after a hundred years in closed cultivation, he emerged to rival a Heavenly Immortal, becoming a Primordial Spirit Dominator.

This moment, the green leaf in his hand brimmed with vitality, seemingly ready to pierce through air!

"It’s easy enough for you all to break my Heavenly Demon Eight-Part Array... But this array changes infinitely; if concentrated, it can stall a Daoist long enough..."

Jin Yan Hou smiled: "I wonder which of you is willing to sacrifice and break the array first?"

Upon hearing this, Spirit Turtle Child, Solo Traveler Ye Gu, and Mountain Master Lie Feng exchanged glances.

’Success!’

Jin Yan Hou felt overjoyed.

He never intended to rely on the array to block the Primordial Spirit Dominators; a delay was sufficient.

If it delayed until the innate spiritual treasure emerged, he would have the greatest chance.

At this moment, all the Primordial Spirit Dominators’ expressions changed, looking towards a direction.

Their divine sense vanished upon approaching this place, as if encountering a ’black hole.’

The ’black hole’ even moved rapidly, arriving before them.

A dark, subtle glow descended, revealing a black-clad youth within— Fang Xing.

"Greetings... Mountain Master Lie Feng, it’s been a while."

He surveyed the crowd, smiling faintly.

"You... Are the Black Dragon Crown Prince of Boundaryless Mountain!"

Holy Daughter Miaomiao’s eyes sparkled: "Although a newly ascended Primordial Spirit Dominator, you defeated Mountain Master Lie Feng, which is truly impressive..."

Among Primordial Spirit Dominators, there are variations in strength.

The Black Dragon Crown Prince undoubtedly belonged to the strong ones!

"Holy Daughter Miaomiao..."

Mountain Master Lie Feng’s face was grim, saying no more, clearly apprehensive of the Black Dragon Crown Prince.

"Greetings, everyone..."

Fang Xing’s gaze swept over Holy Daughter Miaomiao, Mountain Master Lie Feng, Daoist Ye, Spirit Turtle Child, Solo Traveler Ye Gu, finally settling on Jin Yan Hou: "Primordial Spirit Dominator of the Green Emperor Palace... Good, very good... Since your Green Emperor Palace previously dared to hire Wuxin Daoren to assassinate me, today you shall stay here and pay with your life."

"Hmph, such arrogance, anyone would think you’re a Demon Emperor..."

Being a Primordial Spirit Dominator, Jin Yan Hou naturally wasn’t afraid, especially with the Heavenly Demon Eight-Part Array at hand.

As for Holy Daughter Miaomiao and the other Primordial Spirit Dominators, they exchanged looks without denying Fang Xing’s provocation, the insulted Mountain Master Lie Feng remained silent.

After all, they wished for a Primordial Spirit Dominator to pioneer, bearing the array’s strongest firepower.

Now it appeared, the Black Dragon Crown Prince suited perfectly!
