Chapter 1102 - Seal Breaking
Chapter 1102: Seal Breaking
“Since Brother Situ is willing to help us out, that’s truly fantastic!” Immortal Lie Huo was extremely polite. “But this is still a matter of our Qingfeng City after all, so we should still do our part...”
“Haha... That’s fine. Let’s just see who’s faster then!” Fang Yuan laughed out loud as his figure instantly disappeared.
The next moment, he appeared high above in the air and swung his saber. A galaxy-like bright radiance descended. “Blade of Universe! Kill!!!”
Within the array, the scales on an otherworldly demon’s chest shattered, and a large amount of purple blood sprayed out, severely contaminating the soil and air.
Does every ordinary otherworldly demon have a body similar to an immortal artifact?
A trace of cold flashed across Fang Yuan’s eyes. “Septuple Light of Universe!”
In a split second, a lotus flower seemed to bloom in the void. Every petal was Saber Qi concentrated to the limit, and they enveloped the three otherworldly demons.
The magnificence lasted only a short moment before everything turned into dust.
After a countless amount of saber lights pass through them, the three otherworldly demons disappeared without a trace.
Nobody noticed that before he ‘destroyed’ the otherworldly demons, an immortal artifact ring on Fang Yuan’s finger flashed slightly.
“Refine!”
He had forgotten where he had obtained this immortal artifact, but it was capable of storing. Within it was a massive plaza, and while it was not comparable to the Pantheon Palace, white jade covered the entire ground, and array flags surrounded it. Impressively, it was a giant magic altar that was constantly absorbing the blood and flesh of the otherworldly demons that had been shifted here from the void, turning them into dark red pearls and suppressing them at the bottom of a thunder pond.
The artifact spirit was constantly moving as it rapidly accepted the blood and flesh of the incoming otherworldly demons. “Master is truly a genius. This ‘Ten Thousand Otherworldly Demon Refining Array’ was derived from the Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower, and it has at least fifty percent of the original’s power. It’s more than enough to suppress the blood and flesh of ordinary otherworldly demons. When you put them into the Dao Comprehension Pond of the Outer Heaven Tower to refine, who knows how many Dao Comprehension Stones they’ll produce, as well as all the other precious materials...”
The Outer Heaven Tower had been established to suppress the three Primordial Godfiends and the numerous other otherworldly demons and extract their natural source to refine Dao Comprehension Stones.
What Fang Yuan was currently doing was gathering more materials for that factory.
After all, the Outer Heaven Tower had suffered a lot of damage after passing through the commotion caused by Immortal Tai Xuan.
Locking up the otherworldly demons to slowly extract their natural source was beneficial long term, while refining all the otherworldly demons in one go was obviously more beneficial short term.
Evidently, Fang Yuan was not interested in the long-term benefits. As long as he could reach perfection in his Nomological Laws of Time in the shortest amount of time possible and temper his body to the primordial treasure level, it would be enough.
Seeking instant benefits was not a bad thing.
This demon disaster was the perfect opportunity!
With the Outer Heaven Tower, regardless of how many otherworldly demons came, they would all turn into materials for Dao Comprehension Stones!
When his clone gained enough Dao Comprehension Stones, it could push forward the improvement of his main body. This, in turn, would provide him with more opportunities to hunt otherworldly demons, thus complementing each other.
Therefore, while these otherworldly demons were like a calamity for Immortal Lie Huo, in Fang Yuan’s view, they were essentially reserves for his Dao Comprehension Stones, and he was unwilling to let any one of them go.
Standing on top of the city walls, Immortal Qing Shan merely saw a figure flash, and the three otherworldly demons disappeared without a trace, startling her. “Immortal Lie Huo, just who is this Mister Situ?”
Seeing how he was merely at Nascent Soul yet could slaughter otherworldly demons as though he were slaughtering dogs, besides him, there should not be anyone else capable of doing so.
“Blade of Universe?”
On another side, Mo He was in a daze.
He shockingly realized that while he was an Immortal, Fang Yuan’s immense knowledge and comprehension of the Saber Dao was enough for him to be his teacher.
“Die!”
While these three Immortals were conversing, Fang Yuan swung his saber and severely injured another two otherworldly demons. Shortly afterward, he suppressed them within his immortal artifact ring.
Roar Roar!
Seeing this scene, the remaining two otherworldly demons shrieked in fear and prepared to escape.
“Trying to escape?”
Fang Yuan waved his hand, and their movements instantly became tens of times slower.
Their initially rapid movements now seemed full of flaws to the Immortals. With two saber beams, they instantly disappeared.
Fang Yuan teleported back to the city walls and smiled slightly. “Looks like... you were too slow!”
We’re too slow?
Immortal Lie Huo and the rest exchanged glances, left speechless and feeling apprehensive in their hearts.
Clearly, if they were to go up against Fang Yuan, they would suffer much worse than these otherworldly demons. They would have probably died over ten times in the blink of an eye.
“Brother Situ is indeed formidable. You’re the savior of our Qingfeng City! Please accept our respects!”
Immortal Lie Huo expressed his gratitude respectfully and arranged a banquet.
“As fellow cultivators, we should always look out for one another!” Fang Yuan’s face expressed righteousness. “Do you really want to stay in Qingfeng City to drag out an ignoble existence?”
“So what is Mister Situ suggesting we do?” Immortal Qing Shan asked with her lips pursed.
“Preserve your dignity as a nobody; promote social welfare as a somebody... We naturally shouldn’t watch Sixteen Countries’ cultivation world suffer the otherworld demons’ massacres. We should take the initiative to attack and annihilate them!” Fang Yuan’s words were powerful and resonating.
Immortal Lie Huo’s heart moved, feeling that this was truly possible with a supreme existence like Fang Yuan around to suppress the enemy.
But he did not know what Situ Zhaixing’s wishes were. Did he want to unify the Sixteen Countries’ cultivation world?
Immortal Lie Huo was frightened, but he had to admit that this Situ Zhaixing was indeed more than capable of doing so. And what kind of benefits could the itinerant cultivator group that he led gain from this?
“Of course, my actions this time are entirely of my personal desires. As for everything else afterward, I have no interest at all...”
Fang Yuan smiled at Immortal Lie Huo as though he had seen through his thoughts.
“What?” Immortal Lie Huo was truly shocked.
Was he actually this selfless? Recalling Situ Zhaixing’s earlier blood purge of the Sixteen Countries, he felt that this was impossible.
“Haha... Of course, I have conditions. All the otherworldly demon corpses will belong to me!” Fang Yuan did not stand on ceremony at all. “Moreover, you have to cooperate with me to gather information on the locations of the otherworldly demons...”
“This naturally isn’t a problem...” Immortal Lie Huo no longer knew what to say, but one thing was certain—if he really assisted Fang Yuan in pacifying the mess in the Sixteen Countries, maybe an itinerant cultivator sect would rise in the Sixteen Countries.
This disciple... Mo He raised his wine glass, feeling that he was increasingly unable to see through this disciple.
...
After the banquet, Fang Yuan did not stay in Qingfeng City but instead rushed back to the Thirty-Three-Level Outer Heaven Tower.
“The tower’s stone stele and also the Dao Comprehension Pond!”
He arrived in front of the stele, and the immortal artifact ring on his finger flashed.
Suddenly, many dark red otherworld demon pearls fell into the pond. The power of the Taiji lightning turned them into threads of natural source energy that started condensing into Dao Comprehension Stones.
Plop! Plop!
Following a full-force rotation of the Dao Comprehension Pond, Dao Comprehension Stones flew out, landing in front of Fang Yuan and piling up into a small hill.
“Overall... the complete transformation of a single otherworldly demon should produce five Dao Comprehension Stones.”
This efficiency was naturally much higher than before.
After all, the Outer Heaven Tower’s extraction of natural source allowed the otherworld demons time to recover. In theory, it could last until the end of time, unlike Fang Yuan’s one-time transaction.
However, one-time transactions like this had an advantage as well. The short-term benefits were immense!
“As matters stand, I might as well refine all the otherworldly demons in the Outer Heaven Tower!” Excitement flashed across Fang Yuan’s eyes.
Before long, bad luck fell on all the otherworldly demons trapped in the Outer Heaven Tower. Under their restrictions, they could not even escape as they turned into materials for his Dao Comprehension Pond.
“Much fewer than what I expected. On average, each otherworldly demon only turned into two to three Dao Comprehension Stones. Was it because they were imprisoned for so long that they became weak?”
Fang Yuan nodded. “If I have the opportunity in the future, I will replenish them with a batch of new otherworldly demons from the demon disaster...”
As for the last Primordial Godfiend imprisoned in the thirty-third level? Fang Yuan did not even think about it.
After all, Primordial Godfiends and otherworldly demons were two completely different concepts.
Purely in terms of the number of Dao Comprehension Stones, Fang Yuan estimated that refining that Primordial Godfiend could produce at least a thousand Dao Comprehension Stones!
“Unfortunately, even the Grand Unity Immortal who owned the Outer Heaven Tower couldn’t kill that Primordial Demon God, let alone the current me. Their bodies should be close to a primordial treasure, right?”
Regarding a body at the primordial treasure level, even if it stood there for Fang Yuan to cut, he was not confident that he could break its defense!
“I’ll ignore Primordial Godfiends for now. At least, the otherworldly demons in the Sixteen Countries are enough Dao Comprehension Stones for me a few times over...”
With a look of excitement on his face, Fang Yuan immediately went into seclusion to comprehend the Nomological Laws of Time.
While his Illusion Realm’s nomological laws were at perfection, his Nomological Laws of Time were still lacking.
This time, he was prepared to rely on the help of the demon disaster to perfect his nomological laws before tempering his body to the primordial treasure level. Then he would undergo his tribulation!
...
Concurrently, Barbarian Ancestral Court, Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Raging flames and cold ice occupied the sky, and in just one exchange, the entire Holy Mountain started collapsing, and the barbarians suffered heavy casualties.
“Above otherworldly demons... Primordial Godfiends! And two of them!”
Immortal Brutal Child looked at this scene in despair, with blood tears in his eyes.
It was a pity that no matter what they did or transformed into, they were still grabbed by demon hands and swallowed.
Roar Roar!
As though it had sensed the same race, black Qi surged into the sky.
“Who would have thought that... the original Sethgu would have ended up in such a pathetic state?!”
The Primordial Godfiend with flames encircling its body said, “Back then, you were regarded as the most promising prospect to advance to become a Chaos Godfiend...”
“We will release your seal, and then we will head to the Great Sage Immortal World. You must catch up with us as soon as possible... After all, we will only be able to gain true comprehension of ‘destruction’ after destroying prosperous places...” the Ice Godfiend said, and the two Godfiends disappeared.
Rumble!
The bloodied Holy Mountain suddenly collapsed as a demon head emerged to swallow all the golden radiances formed from the electric net in the void. It roared in anger, “Pantheon!!!”
