Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Along a small secluded alley in the eastern district of the Great Western City, Mingyue Sha, a lady who belonged to the Sand Country's secret corps, was waiting there.

In her mind, she was still thinking about her mission this time around.

'Fang Xingjian...'

This time around, she had snuck into the Great Western Region with only a single purpose—to collect information on Fang Xingjian. The priority of this mission was already rated higher than getting the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor.

This was because the Sand Country's upper echelon had already taken notice of Fang Xingjian's potential, and his Rebirth Sword Technique was highly valued by the Sand Country. The Sand Country's upper echelon already viewed Fang Xingjian as an extremely great threat. Additionally, they felt that although he might not be that strong now, his future potential was far too great. He was an existence which needed to be eliminated earlier.

Of course, if they could kidnap him or incite defection, that would be even better.

This was also Mingyue Sha's goal this time. She had come earlier to gather information for those who would be coming later.

As such, she was waiting here so that she could gather some information concerning Fang Xingjian.

Just then, a black-clothed man entered the small valley. Mingyue Sha frowned and said, "You're late."

The black-clothed man shook his head. "We won't be doing business with you anymore."

"You're not going to do it anymore?" Mingyue Sha said, infuriated, "Are you guys trying to go back on your words?"

"Hmph. It isn't because we want to go back on our words, but Fang Xingjian has already entered our blacklist. We'll no longer be peddling secret information concerning him."

Mingyue Sha was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

From her understanding, only Divine level experts and top notch Demigods would receive such treatment.

"On the account that you've been our customer for so many years..." The black-clothed man said calmly, "I'll provide you with a free piece of news on my own account. One day ago, Fang Xingjian was said to have single-handedly fought off The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief, the Darkness Demon Lord, and the previous Governor of the Beize Continent. Moreover, the three of them were said to have joined forces. Currently, most people think that in the Empire, aside from the First Prince, Fang Xingijan is the genius expert who has the highest likelihood of attaining the Divine level in the recent years.

"If I were you, I would put Fang Xingjian on my list of those whom I'll never want to make a enemy of."

The team leader of the Sand Country's secret corps went into a daze as she heard this string of information. It seemed that she could not believe what she had just heard.

In the Great Western Region's Regional Academy, Hoult walked on the road excitedly. Along the way, there would occasionally be people greeting or attempting to approach him.

Hoult was a disciple under the teachings of a Divine level expert, and he was ranked second in the Regional Selection after losing to Fang Xingjian. Over the past few months, aside from having an intimate relationship with the Regional Chief's daughter, he had also been working hard on his cultivation.

He had initially thought of giving up after knowing about Fang Xingjian's talent. However, the sponsorship he received from the Myriad Star Palace a short while ago had lit up new hope in him.

However, Hoult was unaware that this was the Myriad Star Palace's preparation for the seventh onslaught. They had provided additional financial support to majority of the sect members who had potential, hoping that these people could raise their abilities in the shortest time possible.

He merely thought that he was being regarded more highly by the sect.

Therefore, during this period of time, the amount of hard work he devoted into his cultivation was unprecedented, even when compared to all the effort he had put in for the past 20 over years. While doing all this, Hoult's only target was to catch up to and defeat Fang Xingjian.

Yesterday, he had finally successfully attained level 23. For Hoult to reach this stage within a mere seven months, he could be considered a genius amongst geniuses. Furthermore, he had also truly mastered the Myriad Star Palace's Killing technique—Myriad Stars Diagram. As such, he now possessed great power.

An hour ago, he had even defeated someone stronger than him. It was the Conferred Knight ranked 20th in the academy, who was a level 24 expert.

For Hoult to get into the academy's top 20 within just over half a year, it was considered to be quite an amazing feat across all the Regional Academies.

Just then, a gorgeously dressed young lady walked over while looking at Hoult with a strange expression. She was the daughter of the Great Western Region's Regional Chief.

Hoult spoke to her with warmly, "Miley, I won. I'm now in the top 20 of the academy."

Miley nodded, seemingly a bit out of sorts as she said, "Congratulation."

Hoult noticed her distracted state and asked, "What's wrong? Is anything the matter?"

Miley frowned and said, "Father told me to go meet with Fang Xingjian in a few days' time."

"Fang Xingjian? Why is it him again? What does your father mean by this?"

Miley threw a surprised glance at Hoult and asked, "You don't know about it yet?"

Hoult was stunned for a moment, then he asked, "Know about what?" During this period of time, he had gone into full seclusion for his training and had not had the time to be bothered with news of the outside.

Miley let out a sigh and said, "Two days ago, Fang Xingjian single-handedly defeated the joined forces of The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief, the Darkness Demon Lord, and the Beize Continent's previous Governor at the Dark Shadow Mountain. The Supreme Chief was forced to retreat while the other two were killed on the spot."

Hoult immediately said, "That's impossible. The Supreme Chief is a Demigod expert who is said to have already achieved two tiers of perfection. How could he possibly have lost to Fang Xingjian? Who was the one who spread this news?"

Miley threw a pitiful look at Hoult. She knew that Hoult had always one-sidedly viewed Fang Xingjian as his rival and was giving it his all to catch up to Fang Xingjian.

"The news has already been verified by many people. It definitely isn't wrong."

"How is that possible? How can this be?" Hoult said in a daze, "In a mere seven months, he managed to defeat a Demigod who had achieved two tiers of perfection? How on earth did he do that?"

Miley ran her hand through her hair as she looked at Hoult, who appeared a little downcasted. Was this still the charming and talented student of a Divine level expert's teachings whom she knew?

A hint of disappointment flashed past her mind, and she suddenly felt anticipation toward the meeting with Fang Xingjian.

Northern Ice Region, Sacred Land.

Rehlings, who was viewed as someone with a high potential of attaining the Divine level, was the person who had previously helped Fang Xingjian in the case of the Rebirth Sword Technique. This very same Rehlings was now laughing loudly.

His younger brother stood next to him, shaking his head as he said, "If it weren't for the repeated verifications, I wouldn't have believed it either. To think that Fang Xingjian could reach such a level...

"Elder Brother, you really have good judgement to have done him a favor previously. This has become a great favor."

Rehlings grinned and said, "Those fools in the clan didn't even stop to think. How can a genius who invented the Rebirth Sword Technique be someone who is easily suppressed?"

Simultaneously, a hint of jitters flashed in his eyes. Although he had already affirmed that Fang Xingjian was definitely a man of great promise back when he saw the Rebirth Sword Technique, Rehlings had never expected that Fang Xingjian would progress so fast. In just a mere half a year, Fang Xingjian had already been able to defeat The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief.

He suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Fang Xingjian won't just have his reputation spread throughout the world. I'm afraid the shine of our few generations will be covered up by him as well."

At a Saint Hall of the Church of Universal Truth in the northern country.

A council member of the Holy Inquisitorial Court, Gardner, who was also known as the Knight of the Rising Sun, rushed over to the archdeacon's office. He did not know why this supervisor of his was calling to meet him so urgently.

However, the moment he entered the office, he noticed that in addition to his supervisor, the other important characters of the Holy Inquisitorial Court were already seated by the side. A few of their statuses even caused Gardner to shiver slightly.

When Gardner's supervisor saw Gardner, he went straight to the point and asked, "Gardner, when you escorted the archbishop to Sinkodati previously, you worked with Fang Xingjian on the Martial Techniques Grading Plan, right?"

Upon thinking of Fang Xingjian, Gardner's countenance became a little unnatural. Although he had been astonished by Fang Xingjian's talent, the feud between him and Fang Xingjian had always been a thorn in his heart.

However, when asked by his supervisor, Gardner replied directly, "Yes."

"What does he look like?"

Chapter 464: Church and Base

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

From there, that question was followed by the members of the upper echelon trying to get hold of a variety of information about Fang Xingjian. They even asked Gardner a series of other questions, including what Fang Xingjian's character was like, what Fang Xingjian's thoughts about the Church of Universal Truth were, about the God of Universal Truth, as well as if Fang Xingjian had any intentions of getting married.

At the end, they then stressed again on the questions regarding Fang Xingjian's appearance. They even got Gardner to transmit images of Fang Xingjian's appearance through his martial will.

The countenances of the numerous members of the upper echelon changed slightly, and they left the room after exchanging nods.

Gardner respectfully watched as they took their leave. Had Fang Xingjian's appearance attracted the attention of the upper echelon of the Church of Universal Truth after all?

Simultaneously, he could not help but ask his supervisor, "Boss, what's going on? Is the Church thinking of dealing with Fang Xingjian?"

"It's not really about dealing with him." Gardner's supervisor gave it some thought before saying, "You'll get to know about it sooner or later. I might as well tell you first.

"Three days ago, within Sinkodati's Great Western Region, Fang Xingjian single-handedly defeated three people who had joined forces. One of them was a level 29 expert, another was a Demigod with one tier of perfection, and the third one was a Demigod with two tiers of perfection. Under such circumstances, Fang Xingjian killed two of them, and the remaining Demigod, with two tiers of perfection, escaped."

"What?!" Gardner listened to this piece of news in a daze. He felt as if he could understand all the individual words his supervisor said, but when all the words were put together, he was not able to make sense of it.

"Fang Xingjian defeated a Demigod with two tiers of perfection?"

At the next moment, an insuppressible surge of dejection filled up Gardner's entire body.

Gardner now knew that he had been mercilessly surpassed by Fang Xingjian and that he would never be able to catch up. With time, the gap between them would only get wider and wider.

"Is talent... really that important?"

Anthony sat on the couch uneasily, letting out a helpless sigh as he looked at the refreshments placed on a table next to him.

This was already the tenth day since he had arrived at the Eastern Sand Region's Wang Clan.

The reason why he was here was of course to invite Wang Clan to participate in Fang Xingjian's plan to forge a longsword. The longsword intended to be a Divine Remains Equipment with that piece of Divine level spinal bone as its primary ingredient.

However, aside from having been received by Wang Clan's Eldest Miss on the first day, no other members from the Wang Clan, who had the authority to make decisions, had came to meet him.

Just like that, he would visit everyday, generally waiting from morning till night. He would be told repeatedly this person or that person was very busy and unavailable to meet him. They would then tell him to visit again the next day.

However, it was not as if he had not gained anything at all by toiling through these ten days. At the very least, he was very clear of Wang Clan's attitude.

As the world's best blacksmith clan, a clan with a legacy which included having experience with forging Divine Remains Equipment, Wang Clan was acting very haughtily.

For the past ten days, Anthony had seen numerous factions coming to request for a weapon but returned with nothing. Countless people had prepared all the materials, hoping to request for the Wang Clan to help them forge a weapon, but none of them had succeeded.

Beside Anthony, an old man said, "It seems like there's no chance again today." The old man had arrived three days earlier than Anthony and had also waited for a very long time.

Anthony smiled but did not say anything.

Just then, a steward walked over, threw a glance toward Anthony and the old man, and then said casually, "The chief steward isn't free today either. Please take your leave."

As Wang Clan's steward, he was already used to being fawned upon and cajoled by those who came to purchase weapons.

The old man walked up, stuffed a few gold coins into the steward's hands and begged, "Steward Zhao, please help me out."

Steward Zhao slowly nodded and said, "Alright, I'll help you to ask tomorrow." Then he threw a sideward glance toward Anthony, who sighed and said, "Steward Zhao, I've been giving you money for tea everyday previously, and you also promised me everyday that you would ask on my behalf. You've been asking for ten days already. Is there still no result?"

Steward Zhao frowned. "Hmph, Wang Clan is a great clan with immense businesses and many things to deal with on a daily basis. There are so many subordinates of Governors and Regional Chiefs waiting as it is. What do you want?"

"At the very least, there must be a procedure, and you should let me know what's my current position in the queue?"

Steward Zhao squinted his eyes and said, "Does our Wang Clan need you to supervise our work? I'll bring up what you've said to the chief steward. But I think you don't have to come tomorrow. No, you don't have to come for the whole of the next month."

With that, he flicked his sleeves and left. The old man who was watching from the side sighed, pointed at Anthony, and said, "You're still too young. People like these shouldn't be offended."

"I can't stand his attitude, making it seem as if we're begging him. He has taken our money and yet, he hasn't done anything. What's the difference if we give him the money or not?"

The old man shook his head. "Some people are already giving great help just by not doing anything."

Anthony smiled in self-mockery. However, he had not expected it to be so tough to enter through Wang Clan's doors.

However, a few minutes later, Steward Zhao suddenly walked in with an awkward expression, forcing a smile. Under the old man's astonished gaze, Steward Zhao looked at Anthony and asked, "Mister Anthony, may I ask if you were sent by Master Fang Xingjian?"

Anthony nodded, feeling puzzled.

Steward Zhao walked over and said apologetically, "Mister Anthony, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry. The chief steward had long instructed me to invite you over, but I've overlooked this. It's my oversight. Come, come, come. The chief steward and Eldest Miss wish to meet you right now. Let us head over quickly."

Anthony looked at Steward Zhao puzzledly. On the first day of his arrival, he had already made it clear that Fang Xingjian had been the one who sent him. However, during the past ten days, he had met many representatives of Governors, Regional Chiefs, and even members of the Central's upper echelon. This made it clear to him that even Fang Xingjian's reputation as a genius might not be of much use here.

So, right now, he was very perplexed at the great enthusiasm Steward Zhao was showing.

What Anthony did not know was that Steward Zhao was even more confused than he was. Why had the Eldest Miss' attitude toward Anthony suddenly taken a 180-degree turn? This caused Steward Zhao to feel extremely awkward. Yet, under the Young Miss' pressure, he had no choice but to change his attitude toward Anthony. He was now feeling extremely upset at this.

While countless people and factions were changing due to Fang Xingjian, he, on the other hand, was standing in midair. He looked down at the sand dune under his feet and said, "The recent disappearances of a few soldiers all occurred here, so it should be in the vicinity. "

With that, he tossed Peter out and spoke through his martial will, "Wait here for me."

At the next moment, Fang Xingjian dashed out, charging deep down into the underground of the desert.

Underground, the place was filled with densely packed corridors, and many staff members were wearing white uniforms, walking in all directions. They appeared to be extremely busy.

Hildebrand, with gold hair like a prince, stood in the control station, watching the situations in the various laboratories. There was a satisfied and excited smile on his face.

Next to him was Fang Qian, who was wearing black clothes intended for battle. She was the genius from Fang Clan who had supported the black-skinned warriors in the battle at the shores of the Western Sea.

Hildebrand said, "Miss Fang, it's all thanks to you guys for providing us with the information about clones that the progress of the project on the nurturing of Divine level cells has been accelerated greatly. Once the plan is fully completed, we'll be able to produce numerous Divine level clones and create a Divine level army!"

Fang Qian's eyes narrowed slightly. She had not expected that the adaptation of the cloning technology in Miracle World would be so great. Nor had she expected that the skills and abilities of the Ancient Path of Hell to be so powerful. They had actually succeeded in duplicating the cells from some Divine remains.

Hearing what Hildebrand said, Fang Qian shook her head and said, "It isn't that easy. The nourishment required by the Divine level cells are far too difficult to get. There's a higher chance of success by nurturing Demigod bodies. Test subject number 13 is already a success. As long as the experiment on the transfer of consciousness is successful, you'll be able to instantly attain two tiers of perfection at one go and then own a Demigod clone."

When Hildebrand heard this, he secretly felt excited. However, when he saw the lady next to him, his expression fell solemn again.

This strangely dressed lady had been introduced to him by the First Prince. He knew nothing of her background or her identity.

He only knew that when she first arrived, she had only been at level 21. In less than a year, she had already attained level 29, and her abilities were comparable to a Demigod who had attained one tier of perfection. He found it to be truly unbelievable.

Chapter 465: Breakthrough

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Qian said calmly, "When they're back later, you must hand Fang Xingjian over to me." A cold light gleamed in her eyes. "I'll take care of him personally."

It was clear that their geographical location was too far out, and they had yet to get news from the Great Western Region.

Additionally, Hildebrand clearly did not know that Fang Qian had come from another world. Neither did he know that she held the power of magic prints, and all her abilities came from the evil gods beyond the heavens. Therefore, she would not come across any bottlenecks while leveling up during the second transition phase. Just by praying everyday to communicate with the gods, her abilities would increase explosively.

This was the reason why there were so many magic prints Warriors on Earth, as well as how it was possible for there to be several Divine level experts produced in a mere ten years or so.

Hildebrand thought that she was simply an extraordinarily talented person whom the First Prince placed in high regards. Just this alone was sufficient for him to be respectful toward her.

He said, "Haha, this is but of course. When the time comes, we'll hand Fang Xingjian over to you. However, his talent is exceptional, and he's also a very uniquely gifted individual. Don't go overboard and end up killing him."

Fang Qian smiled and wore a profound look on her face as she said, "Don't worry. I can't bear to kill him."

Just then, security alarms rang out in the secret base.

"What happened?" Hildebrand asked puzzledly. Ever since arriving o this secret base which the First Prince had spent a lot of hard work to create, this was the first time he had heard the security alarms go off.

If it were any other time, even if the Sand Country's army had passed by, it would only be reported by the adjutant.

However, at the next moment, a Knight-level adjutant ran up to Hildebrand and said, "Sir and Madam! The Commander has requested for the two of you to make a trip to the command post."

The commander of this base was the leader of the Phantom Congregation, also known as the Phantom Knight. He was one of the First Prince's trusted subordinates and had also signed the Hell's Map. Otherwise, the First Prince would not have entrusted such an important base to him.

When the two of them heard the adjutant's report, they exchanged a glance. They could see the perplexed expressions in each other's eyes.

"What on earth has happened?"

Soon after, the two of them rushed over to the command post. However, not only did they see the commander, Phantom Knight, but the other two residents who had signed the Hell's Map were also there.

The man who sat on the left side had an effeminate appearance. He occasionally revealed a cold and eerie smile, giving off a strange atmosphere.

Hildebrand knew this person. He was a second transition Knight who had been exiled by the northern country, Steel Lion Kingdom. The man was called Yalante, the Enraged Lion. He had initially belonged to the Steel Lion Kingdom's intelligence department and knew of countless secret arts for killing. Additionally, he specialized in stealth, ambush, and assassination, and could be said to be a great master of darkness and intelligence.

To the left, a man carrying a huge two-meter-long bow sat quietly. He appeared to be very ordinary, did not exude any aura, and seemed no different from an ordinary person.

If there was something special about him, it would be that he was far too quiet. Hildebrand could not even hear his breath nor the sound of his heartbeat. The quiet man was just like a corpse.

Hildebrand knew that this person was a death warrior who had been trained by the First Prince since young. He was said to have experienced countless brutal trainings and massacres, and had been the only one left standing amongst over 1,000 Knight apprentices. The corpse-like man could be said to be a death warrior who truly existed for the purpose of killing.

He did not have any name. All he had was a code name—the Death Warrior.

Although he had been sitting there quietly, he had actually been continuously trying to condense his specialty seeds. It was clear that he was trying hard to achieve perfection in them.

Seeing the arrival of Hildebrand and Fang Qian, Commander Phantom Knight nodded. He was a rather charming-looking middle-aged man with a small beard and neatly combed hair.

"Take a seat," Phantom Knight said, "We have an intruder."

"Intruder?" The Enraged Lion sneered, "There really are people who aren't afraid of death. Is it an intentional act?"

"It should be, and he is very powerful. He has already broken through the second external defense." The Phantom Knight said, "Wait. He has broken through the third external defense as well." He frowned and added, "He's too fast. Something isn't right. Let me take a look with the Phantom Mirror."

The Phantom Knight came from a sect known as the Phantom Congregation. The entire Phantom Congregation had been taken over by the First Prince, and the members had all stationed themselves in this base in the desert.

As such, the Phantom Knight had set up a Phantom Barrier over the entire desert base, so he could monitor the situation in many locations at any time.

As he formed signs with his hands, there seemed to be water ripples moving in the air, slowly forming a mirror made of water. It reflected the scene that was in the distance.

In the mirror, Fang Xingjian was strolling around, as if he was taking a walk along the streets. Occasionally, sword light would slash out, cutting through a layer of barrier, and he would continued to walk deeper into the base. Soon after, a group of Knights came to attack him. However, as Fang Xingjian flickered about, the group of Knights dropped to the ground.

"This guy is..." The Phantom Knight looked at the scene in the mirror, feeling a little perplexed.

However, Hildebrand shouted loudly, "It's Fang Xingjian! How can it be him? How did he get here?"

The Phantom Knight tilted his head and watched as the layers of the base's defense barriers continued getting destroyed by Fang Xingjian. Then he said coldly, "Fang Xingjian? Isn't he at the Great Western Region? Heng Tianxiao and the others should have gone to deal with him."

"Could it be that they missed each other?" The Enraged Lion broke into a grin. "But how could he have found his way here? It can't possibly be that Fang Xingjian defeated Heng Tianxiao and the others, and then forced the location of the base out from them, right?"

"That's impossible," Hildebrand said. "The Supreme Chief is a Demigod who has attained two tiers of perfection, and Grandfather is a Demigod who has attained one tier of perfection. Although the Darkness Demon Lord is a little bit weaker than them, with the help of the Ten Directional Hell's Flag, he'll also be comparable to a Demigod who has attained one tier of perfection when he activates the Death Dominion. With the three of them joining forces to suppress Fang Xingjian, how could they possibly be defeated?

"Based on our information, the highest estimation of Fang Xingjian's abilities is only at one tier of perfection."

"In that case, the situation does certainly seem strange." The Enraged Lion lifted his head, looked at the mirror image of Fang Xingjian, and said, "We'll probably have to ask this kid to find out."

"There's no hurry," the Phantom Knight said. "The barriers from the fourth defense barrier onward are all enhanced with Netherworld Field and superalloy. Even if he breaks through them, it would take a very long time. Let's just have a look at this genius' abilities for now."

The Netherworld Field was a barrier the First Prince himself had personally set up over the entire base. It had a powerful defense and could absorb as well as transfer most attacks. The closer it was to the core, the stronger the defense would be. It could be said that one level would be even stronger and more amazing than the one before it.

Just as the Phantom Knight said this, Fang Xingjian had already arrived before a large closed metal door. This was the fourth defense barrier which was enhanced with the Netherworld Field and had been made from superalloy invented under the First Prince's influence.

Its toughness was comparable to that of a level 25 Superior Divine Weapon, and the walls had a thickness of ten meters. This barrier was said to be a stronghold that was hard to break through.

Even a Demigod would probably need to spend over ten minutes or even several hours before he could break through this layer.

Then after the fourth defense barrier, there were a total of five defense barriers which were even more amazing. It was clear how highly the First Prince regarded this desert base.

Then under everyone's astonished gazes, as Fang Xingjian headed forward, there was sword light sweeping past the space one meter before him. Each stream of sword light slashed through physical particles while trembling at a frequency of over 10,000 times per second. The beams of sword light forcefully slashed through streams of heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces which were connecting physical particles together.

He got through the ten-meter-thick defense barrier slowly like he was passing through a layer of tofu.

Faint yellow light from the Netherworld Field flashed continuously, wanting to resist against the sword light. However, it was unable to succeed, and it was easily crushed like glass.

Looking at how Fang Xingjian had broken through the fourth layer of defense so easily, the countenances of everyone in the command post turned grim.

Chapter 466: Test

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

"This Fang Xingjian isn't easy to deal with. To think that he managed to break through the fourth defense barrier so easily..."

The Enraged Lion frowned and said, "His sword art is too powerful. If we start fighting, his attacks will be faster and fiercer. When dealing with people like him, being passive and focused on defense won't do."

Hildebrand said, "Let's take the initiative and capture him. We must find out how the base's location was leaked out. He's really courting death to come walking right into a trap."

The Phantom Knight shook his head and said, "We must be more wary and avoid unexpectedly failing miserably." Thinking of that, he then said, "Let the corpse troop go sound him out first."

The corpse troop consisted of the failed products of the experiments in the desert base. They were all living dead who no longer had any consciousness and were only left with physical impulses. However, their abilities were on average at the pinnacle of first transition. Their fearlessness of death and the fact that their bodies had no weaknesses, except for the brain, made them even more suitable to be used as cannon fodder.

At the side, the Enraged Lion shook his head and said, "The corpse troop is too weak and won't be able to sound anything out." He then smiled and looked at Fang Qian. "Hasn't Miss Fang always wanted the battle data of the test subjects?"

A gleam of light flashed in Fang Qian's eyes. She thought that this was a good idea as well.

The fact was that until now, none of the five people present had seen Fang Xingjian as a real threat. After all, there were five level 29 experts in the command post. Amongst them, Fang Qian and the Phantom Knight were both comparable to Demigods with one tier of perfection.

Additionally, the longbow the Death Warrior carried on his back was a level 29 Divine Weapon, Hell's Flames, bestowed upon him by the First Prince. This made his killing power comparable to any Demigod with one tier of perfection.

Furthermore, the First Prince had reinforced the desert base itself with layers of barriers. There were even the ten or so test subjects Fang Qian had created, and each of them had the ability to stand their ground against a Conferred Knight.

Although everyone present was astonished by Fang Xingjian's arrival, they were far from feeling anxious with such power holding the fort.

Fang Qian also nodded and said with a smile, "I'm also very interested in the concrete data of the test subjects' battle powers. Sand Country's ordinary army won't be able to test the limits of their abilities."

Fang Xingjian continued to advance in a straight line as if he was taking an elevator, entering deeper and deeper into the base.

The entire desert base was like a sphere which had been buried underground. Layers of exterior defenses wrapped around the entire base, and the core was placed at the center of the base.

Fang Xingjian progressed forward. Regardless of the armor plates, defense barriers, or all the guards... not a single person nor item was able to fend off Fang Xingjian's sword.

Finally, after advancing for another 500 meters, a huge and completely snow-white wall made of unknown material appeared before Fang Xingjian. It was the base's fifth defense layer.

Fang Xingjian did not know how many of such things the base had in total. He frowned and thought, 'They really like to put on tortoise shells.'

Just then, a strange silhouette appeared next to the white wall. Taking a closer look, Fang Xingjian saw that it was a weird person whose body was fully wrapped up with a layer of metal. The weird man stood there, wrapping his arms around his body. He smiled and said to Fang Xingjian, "Hello, intruder."

The weird man shrugged, "I really have to thank you. If it isn't for you, I probably wouldn't have the chance to be let out and move about."

A hint of a brutal smile curled up on the weird man's lips. "As repayment, I can let you choose the way you die."

In the command post, Fang Qian looked at the metallic weird man proudly and said, "The body of test subject number 3 is covered with exoskeleton cells. The cells come from level 29 Conferred Knights. This allowed him to possess a powerful defense from the moment he was born.

"Especially during the nurturing process, his exoskeleton armor became increasingly thicker and stronger. It can almost be comparable to the defense of a level 29 Superior Divine Weapon. He can be said to be a living weapon."

Everyone else nodded as they watched the battle that was reflected through the mirror.

"Why does this guy have hints of black magic on him?" Tyrant, in his bangle form, said, "Can you let me study him a little?"

"No time."

As they spoke, Fang Xingjian was already walking toward the fifth defense level like there was no one else there. The metallic weird man walked over with a provocative expression. As he walked, he said, "Hey, didn't you hear what I said?"

Seeing how Fang Xingjian continued to walk on without showing any expression, a hint of killing intent flashed on the metallic weird man's face. Then he dashed out, charging over to Fang Xingjian like he was a armored tank.

However, he had only gotten within a one-meter proximity of Fang Xingjian when he felt a surge of explosive power smash into his face. Concurrently, a stream of martial will exploded directly into his mind.

"Scram."

Then there was a loud rumble accompanied by layers and layers of force, and the weird metallic man was sent flying out. As he flew in midair, it appeared that his head had already exploded from the boundless sword force. When the weird man landed on the ground, he convulsed a few times and then stopped moving completely.

Fang Xingjian then continued to walk on toward the fifth defense layer. He extended out sword fingers and sent streams of sword force sweeping through the air. The fifth defense level was cut through like it was tofu, and Fang Xingjian continued to walk in deeper without stopping.

"He just smashed it with a single punch...?" The Enraged Lion looked at this scene, stunned. He asked, "Miss Fang, didn't you say that the metallic weird man's exoskeleton armor is comparable to the toughness of a level 29 Divine Weapon?"

Fang Qian's brows furrowed tensely. "That should be the case. I originally thought that the weird metallic man would be able to hang on for a few minutes. I didn't expect that he would be unable to take even a single attack."

The Phantom Knight let out a long breath. "Then it can only be said that Fang Xingjian's abilities has far surpassed our estimations."

Thinking this, everyone in the command post secretly gasped in great admiration of the Phantom Knight's decision. If they had attacked Fang Xingjian straight on without knowing of his abilities, they would probably have ended up being placed at a great disadvantage if they were not careful.

Fang Qian said, "Based on the previous information, Fang Xingjian was already a Demigod with one tier of perfection. That's why the First Prince sent the Supreme Chief and the others to ambush him. It seems that amongst Demigods who have attained one tier of perfection, his abilities are not to be underestimated."

The Phantom Knight nodded, "Even I don't dare to say that I'll be able to kill the weird metallic man so easily."

Fang Qian said, "After all, you're not a warrior for frontal attacks. Illusions are what you excel in." With that, she looked at the Phantom Sword Technique with a burning gaze. "Since Fang Xingjian is so strong, this is a good opportunity for us to try the battle prowess of Number 9 and Number 10. What do you think?"

At the mention of test subjects number 9 and 10, an eerie chill rose in everyone's hearts.

It was because these two test subjects were far too dangerous. When they were born, they had almost broken out of the base and escaped. In the end, everyone had to join forces to suppress them. Then the Phantom Knight had to control them with his illusions before they settled down.

The Phantom Knight nodded solemnly. "But Number 9 and Number 10 are even more dangerous than Fang Xingjian. Once there are any signs of them losing control, I'll immediately stop their movements.

"If they kill Fang Xingjian but manage to escape, it will be an even more serious loss. Their value is far above that of Fang Xingjian's."

Fang Qian smiled. "But of course."

She subconsciously threw a glance toward Fang Xingjian in the mirror and thought, 'Fang Xingjian, Fang Xingjian... Have a good taste of what true horror is like.'

Chapter 467: Number 9, Number 10

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

"The sixth defense barrier has been destroyed."

"It's fine. From the seventh barrier onward, the entire base is within the perimeters of the Sacred Land, and the Netherworld Field's prowess is enhanced through absorbing ether particles..."

Before the sentence was finished, Fang Xingjian struck his head against the seventh defense barrier. He was breaking through the layers of faint yellow light from the defense layer like they were just pieces of scrap paper.

"Damn it," the Phantom Knight said angrily, "Haven't Number 9 and Number 10 reached yet?"

The adjutant reported, "We placed too many restrictions on them. The technicians are still helping to remove those restrictions. We'll probably only be able to put them before the ninth defense barrier..."

As they spoke, six light pillars surged out behind Fang Xingjian's back and struck against the eighth defense barrier, melting the barrier at a speed which could be seen by the naked eye.

The Phantom Knight waved his hand and said, "Get them to hurry up."

In the mirror screen, Fang Xingjian had already completely penetrated through the eighth defense barrier in a mere couple of minutes. He was now headed for the ninth barrier while bringing along a series of afterimages with him.

Soon after, a resplendent and magnificent barrier which seemed as if it was made from pure gold appeared before him. There were various unknown languages and images engraved onto the barrier. The engravings looked like some kind of incantations, and they flashed with a mysterious glow.

Fang Xingjian did not take a close look at this ninth barrier. Instead, he looked at a spot before the barrier. Two huge metal coffins were placed upright there, and surges of powerful malevolent intent seemed to be exuding from them.

Those sorts of brazenly malevolent intents... It was as if they wanted to destroy all the wonderful things in the world.

Just as Fang Xingjian saw these two coffins, two loud bang bang sounds rang out. The coffin lids were opened, and the malevolent intents were stronger than before. Fang Xingjian even felt something like ferocious beasts using their tongues to lick against his skin.

Then at the next moment, a pitch black foot was lifted up from inside one of the coffins, and a pitch black man who was as thin as a skeleton walked out. He turned his head around back and forth like he was observing the surrounding situation.

"Here they come!" Looking at the image of Number 9 reflected through the mirror, Fang Qian's eyes were filled with agitation.

The source of the materials used in creating Number 9 was far from being ordinary. They had stolen the corpse of a Demigod from a grave. Over 500 years ago, this Demigod had been referred to as the Heavenly Demon. Since young, he had been unsociable and eccentric, filled with fierce killing intent.

He had killed his entire family at the age of ten, joined the Primal Congress at the age of eleven, and then killed the expert who held the highest position in the entire congress at the age of 20. From then on, he had traveled unhindered across the world, causing massive bloodshed no matter where he went.

In the end, at the age of 25, he had disappeared without a trace.

No one knew where he had gone, nor did anyone know what had happened to him. It was only when the First Prince's subordinates found the Heavenly Demon in a tomb that they realized he had actually died in the process of robbing a tomb.

He was then kept in cold storage for a long period of time as raw material for weapons. This was the case until Fang Qian arrived and required the corpses of experts as material for her experiments.

After that, the Heavenly Demon's body was revived through cloning, and all his organs, bones, and nerves were replaced by the superior parts from various ferocious beasts. His consciousness was also revived by the First Prince through the great technique of the Ancient Path of Hell, the Hell's Soul Substitution.

Of course, this great technique of the Ancient Path of Hell, the Hell's Soul Substitution, was not one which could really awaken dead consciousness. It could only channel in a predefined set of consciousness.

However, the Hell's Soul Substitution had been incomplete for a very long period of time. Even the First Prince could only channel in information he knew about the Heavenly Demon and then let the remnant instinct in the Heavenly Demon's body awaken by itself.

"Heavenly Demon... 500 years ago, he was the most brutal and terrifying Demigod in the whole world. After I performed cloning techniques and black magic on him, not only has his consciousness awakened, but he has even gained an even more powerful physical body."

Due to the fact that test subjects number 9 and 10 were far too powerful and because their sets of consciousness were hard to control, Fang Qian eventually gave up on channeling independent consciousness into their physical bodies. Instead, she made use of means which could transfer consciousness in order to control the physical bodies of these test subjects.

Therefore, the test subjects after Number 10 were all empty shells, and Number 9 and 10 were the most powerful test subjects Fang Qian had created.

Thinking of that, Fang Qian's eyes shone with excitement. "Let me take a look at your powers."

In the present scene, the Heavenly Demon was turning his head about like a rusty gear starting to move slowly. Then he took a few steps forward and headed toward the exit. From the beginning to the end, he had not cast a glance in Fang Xingjian's direction.

Tyrant, in the form of a bangle, observed the Heavenly Demon and said solemnly, reminding Fang Xingjian, "This guy is dangerous, very dangerous."

"Dangerous?" Fang Xingjian did not look at the Heavenly Demon and instead looked at the metal coffin which was labelled with the Number 10. He said, "That thing inside is what really feels troublesome."

"Oh?" Tyrant said perplexedly, "But why don't I sense any danger from him?"

"It's because that thing inside has focused all of his malevolent intent onto me." Fang Xingjian's eyes squinted slightly. "It's as if he is holding a blade against my skin."

Just as Fang Xingjian said those words, a crimson red figure dashed out from the coffin with a swoosh. He was like a crimson red cheetah, pouncing onto the Heavenly Demon.

That figure was covered with a crimson red glow. It looked like crimson red blood which had ignited into flames. His four limbs were on the ground, and his head appeared like a human's. However, his widened mouth made it seem as if the corner of his lips were going to reach the bottom of his ears. The figure was filled with an evil and brutal aura.

There was a long tail sprouting out from his coccyx, and on his tail, there was even a long bone spike exuding cold gleams of light.

The Heavenly Demon's head was pressed down by the one of the creature's claws, and a fierce expression intensified greatly in his eyes. His palm, which seemed to be dry as firewood, let out an explosive power that was comparable to a volcano explosion, smashing out toward the head of the weird red figure.

However, confronted with the Heavenly Demon's counterattack, the weird red figure opened his mouth and swallowed the Heavenly Demon's fist entirely. The Heavenly Demon's arm completely disappeared like there was no power at all in the Heavenly Demon's fist.

The weird red figure licked his lips and broke into a satisfied grin.

Then the Heavenly Demon's countenance changed. He felt as if his punch from earlier was as hopeless as a clay ox entering water, incapable of smashing anything at all.

Watching as the weird red figure opened his mouth and tried to bite him again, the Heavenly Demon frowned. Instinctives surges of power in his physical body swelled up, and in this life and death situation, the instincts in his body were awakened, replenishing his memories.

The Heavenly Demon let out a furious bellow, activating his Killing technique—Primal Waves. Surges of sound waves, which trembled at an astonishing frequency, smashed against the weird red figure's body. Then at the next moment, they passed through his body, smashing into the ceiling.

Tremors was quite possibly one of the types of Killing techniques with the greatest damage powers.

Wherever the Primal Waves passed by, the underground rock layers were turned into dust, and everything with form was rendered into fine powder. The sound waves created a big hole over several hundred meters long, displaying an astonishing power of destruction.

Chapter 468: Evil

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

No one knew just how fast a frequency the sound waves which the Heavenly Demon's Primal Waves had unleashed were travelling at.

Everyone could only see that wherever the sound waves passed by, all living things would wither. The skies and the earth shattered, and everything was rendered down into the most basic particle form.

The weird crimson figure, who had taken the impact head-on, appeared unscathed before everyone. His body continued to be stretched out by the sound waves, becoming longer and bigger, just like a highly elastic piece of rubber. As he continued to expand, he also absorbed all the power in the sound waves. It was only after the energy from the sound waves had been completely depleted that he shrank back to his original size.

Then, under the Heavenly Demon's terrified gaze, he bit off half the Heavenly Demon's chest, swallowing it.

The scene of the Heavenly Demon being engulfed looked like a university student beating up a child from kindergarten.

The Heavenly Demon continued to struggle frantically. Each of his punches and kicks were able to create tremors in the mountains and brought about earthquakes. The Primal Waves he continued to unleash incessantly through his moves continued breaking down the layers of rock, as if wanting to pierce through the ground above their heads.

However, to the weird crimson figure, these attacks were just like those from a baby. They were easily blocked and even absorbed. The Heavenly Demon could only watch as his body was eaten up bit by bit.

In the command post, everyone looking at this brutal scene could not help but feel an eerie chill run down their spine. Although they were already accustomed to massacres and bloodshed, they were still disgusted by this scene.

The act of eating humans could be seen as a perverse act, so it was natural that many people could not accept it.

Fang Qian shouted, "Is it still impossible? Can't we control him?"

The Phantom Knight sat there motionlessly with a grim expression. Light which was like a seven-colored glaze shot out from his eyes, shining brighter and brighter. However, his countenance was also turning increasingly grim.

He spoke in a low voice, "This isn't working. I can't control him." Cold sweat dripped down continuously from his head. "He isn't affected by me in the least. How did this happen?"

Hearing the Phantom Knight's words, everyone was in shock. They had not expected for Number 10 to go out of control.

Fang Qian said in shock, "How did this happen? Didn't we manage to control him just fine the last time?"

"I don't know." The Phantom Knight's countenance turned extremely grim. Then right at this moment, he suddenly let out an agonizing cry and covered his eyes. Blood flowed out incessantly from between his fingers.

"He... He launched a counterattack on me... This guy is also good in attacking the consciousness..."

Ba-thump . Everyone who heard this appeared to be in great shock. Hildebrand was the first to stand up and said, "Isn't Number 10's forte his physical strength and ability to engulf and regenerate? As long as there is life for him to engulf, he will be able to regenerate his body. Since when has he excelled in attacking the consciousness as well?"

Every person present was a genius who could be found with a probability of 1 amongst every 10,000 people, and none of them were fools. Just as Hildebrand brought this point up, the people reacted at the same time.

The Enraged Lion said, "Unless he did it intentionally... This guy... He concealed his abilities."

However, the moment he finished his sentence, a voice rang out in everyone's minds.

"Bingo, you're right."

In that instant, everyone's countenances changed tremendously. They looked at the mirror and saw that the weird crimson figure was staring at them, revealing an indescribably evil smile. As his mouth twitched, the same voice continued to ring out in everyone's minds.

"If it wasn't because that kid from the Ancient Path of Hell was around, how could I possibly have shown my weakness and allowed myself to be caught?

"Excellent, you guys are wonderful. Not only did you seal up majority of my body's functions, you even kept me locked up in that hard and humid place which has nothing... nothing..."

The weird crimson figure then bellowed furiously, "Even if you keep a cat, you'll at least prepare a litter box for it, right?"

The voice of the bellow exploded in everyone's minds, and they then felt as if a storm had raged through in their minds. They felt very groggy, and their bodies started to stagger.

The weird crimson figure's voice started to slowly dissipate from everyone's minds, "Stay there and wait in your tortoise shells. I'll be there to find all of you shortly..."

In the command post, everyone's countenances turned extremely grim. Then Hildebrand said, "We must inform the First Prince. We'll need reinforcements."

"I've sent someone to pass on the message." The Enraged Lion said, "Right now, we must gather all of our powers and think of a way to capture Number 10."

The Phantom Knight said, "Miss Fang Qian, amongst us, you're the person who understands Number 10 the best. If we wish to capture him, other than using my illusion techniques to control him, what other means are there?"

Fang Qian's expression was solemn. Amongst the people present, she was the person who knew Number 10 best. Number 10 had been found together with the Heavenly Demon. However, the Heavenly Demon had been the tomb robber, while Number 10 had been the owner of the tomb.

It was a pity that even after they studying the tomb repeatedly, they had not been able to find out the identity of Number 10.

After the First Prince sealed Number 10 up, she had conducted test after test on Number 10's body in order to obtain various statistics. So, she had a very good understanding of the power of his physical body.

However, what astonished her more today was his ability to attack the consciousness. Moreover, this was what he excelled in.

Hearing the Phantom Knight's question, Fang Qian said, "He's over five kilometers away from where we're located. Based on my studies of martial will and attacks using information currents, the impact of such attacks will deteriorate quickly with distance.

"For him to be capable of causing us to feel groggy from five kilometers away, we probably won't be able to win against him once gets close... This guy has always pretended that his fortes were in his physical body and his ability to absorb attacks. However, what he really excels in should be attacking the consciousness.

"His abilities are probably much stronger than what we previously estimated."

Thinking of this, everyone's countenances turned increasingly grim.

Number 10's physical strength was already extremely powerful to begin with. In addition to that, he was equipped with such a powerful consciousness attack. Once he got close, he would only need to launch another attack on their consciousness as he had done before and then attack them when they were feeling faint. This would end up with them suffering from great damages.

Then the Phantom Knight gave out orders, "Since that is the case, activate all our troops. We must completely suppress test subject number 10. Let's change our locations immediately. We mustn't face Number 10 head-on."

Right now, all of their attention was already placed on Number 10. Fang Xingjian, whom they had wanted to deal with earlier, was now treated like a dead man when they had Number 10 to deal with.

"Haha, you guys are thinking too much." Suddenly, Number 10's voice once again rang out in their minds. At the next moment, a tremendous pain ran through the heads of everyone in the command post.

"Thank you for the information. As I expected, that kid from the Ancient Path of Hell is really not here. Wait there for me to come over. I'll take good care of all of you."

Then at the next moment, an extremely evil and brutal aura gushed out in everyone's minds at a rapid rate. It was an aura which seemed to be the world's dirtiest and the most vicious.

Hildebrand let out a cry. It was because he realized that this intent was too much alike to the malevolent will he had felt from that Divine level spinal bone in the past.

However, this time around, the intent was more flexible, more powerful, and more immense.

This was also the first time that Hildebrand had felt just how terrifying such a malevolent will was when it was used to attack, rather than for defense.

Chapter 469: Chasing A Dog

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Confronted with this malevolent will, the martial will of the Phantom Knight and the others had no ability to resist. Furthermore, as they faced with this aura, their consciousness seemed completely defenseless. This malevolent will was the nemesis of all humans, rendering them utterly incapable of resisting.

Fang Qian, Hildebrand, the Phantom Knight, the Death Warrior, and the Enraged Lion all dropped down limply to the ground. They realized that under the malevolent willpower impact, their sets of consciousness were in pieces. This meant they were no longer able to circulate Waves and mental cultivation method in their mind. It was because when they tried to do so, tremendous pain would attack their minds.

In this moment, they could no longer utilize extraordinary strength. Due to the immense pain in their brains, even their limbs seemed to be out of their control.

They could only watch the image of Number 10 who was reflected in the mirror and see what his next step would be.

Fang Qian looked at that crimson red figure in disbelief. "What on earth is this monster? Why do we have such huge differences in terms of consciousness attacks?"

As a second transition magic prints Warrior, she had not gone through as many levels as Conferred Knights. However, with the help of the evil god's power, she was not far off from Conferred Knights of the same level in terms of the five attributes or other skills and techniques. She might even be even stronger due to the presence of the evil god.

However, right now, confronted with Number 10's consciousness attack, she had no means of resisting. Moreover, as she had not tempered her martial will the way Conferred Knights did when they broke through the Ten Heavenly Barriers step by step, her resistance toward the malevolent willpower impact was even weaker.

The Enraged Lion shouted, "What on earth is this willpower impact? It's as if... It's as if it's naturally restraining us."

The Phantom Knight was also in disbelief. "Even across a distance of five kilometers, he is able to render us immobile with just a single thought? How on earth did he do that?"

Fang Qian's countenance turned increasingly grim as she realized that she was unable to focus her concentration. The giddiness which had struck her head prevented her from controlling her body's extraordinary strength.

"It's as if this ability naturally represses humans."

As Fang Qian looked at the image of Number 10 reflected in the mirror, her eyes were filled with deep terror. "If this goes on, we'll all be killed."

After engulfing the Heavenly Demon, Number 10 turned to look at Fang Xingjian and said, "Kid, why is there a detestable smell coming from you?"

Fang Xingjian sensed the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent's excitement and nodded while asking, "What are you? Are you a test subject that the people in this base created?"

"Test subject?" Number 10 broke into an extremely disdainful smile and said, "Created by the likes of them? They're but a bunch of clowns who just so happened to awaken me."

He then looked at Fang Xingjian's face and broke into an evil smile. "Let me have a taste of you first."

At the next moment, a malevolent will gushed into Fang Xingjian's mind. It was like that malevolent will which had been in that Divine level spinal bone from the other time. The will exuded a terrifying horror and evilness which would render one immobile, like it wanted to destroy all wonderful things in the world.

However, in comparison to the malevolent will in that Divine level spinal bone from the past, the intensity of this malevolent will was clearly much weaker. Although Fang Xingjian felt horrible, it was not as hard to fend off as the previous time.

Under this willpower impact, he could still move as well as activate the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent like he had done the previous time.

Sensing the increasingly intense battle will coming from the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent, Fang Xingjian did not suppress it and instead let it move as it wished.

Then at the next moment, the sword intent gushed out from his mind and dashed into Number 10's consciousness.

If Number 10's malevolent willpower impact was some sort of biological repression on most humans, then the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent was something akin to a natural nemesis for Number 10.

Within less than a second after the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent dashed into Number 10's consciousness, Number 10 immediately grabbed his head and let out an agonizing cry. He could only feel that the memories, consciousness, instincts, and other information in his brain were all being stirred up into a complete mess.

Surges of malevolent will wanted to fight back. However, before the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent, they were like melted butter and got sliced up into fragments easily.

"Ahh!!!!"

Number 10 let out an astonishing cry, "What is this thing?!"

At the next moment, Number 10 endured the agony coming from his head and charged toward Fang Xingjian, with his figure bringing along countless crimson red afterimages.

Faced with Number 10's counterattack, Fang Xingjian's body flickered slightly. Then he completely disappeared, leaving behind only countless streams of sword light sweeping against Number 10's body.

The Astral Obscurity Sword was activated.

Fang Xingjian's longsword swept out toward Number 10 without stopping. Under streams of sword light, Fang Xingjian once against displayed his unrivalled sword arts cultivation.

The most powerful aspect of the Astral Obscurity Sword was that it could allow the user to hide his physical body between spatial gaps and be in an almost invincible state.

However, the user's attacking powers would be relatively weaker by a huge degree. Even the Supreme Chief, who was a great talent in sword arts, had not managed to continue working on improving the Astral Obscurity Sword after creating it. Instead, he had to use the Astral Obscurity Sword in conjunction with other sword techniques.

However, all these were too easy for Fang Xingjian.

At the same time when the Astral Obscurity Sword was activated, the Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique was also activated. With the disappearance of Fang Xingjian's body, in addition to the many sword slashes, there were also countless streams of demolition sword light landing on Number 10's body.

In that instant, Number 10's flesh and blood continued to splatter in all directions. Under the impacts from Fang Xingjian's Astral Obscurity Sword and Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique, his powerful physical body, which could withstand and absorb various impacts, had no means of resisting. Number 10 could only continue to withstand the physical damage at the physical particles level.

Then Number 10's consciousness became bleak, and his body continued to be slashed. He did not even know where his opponent was, so he could not even launch any attacks.

Releasing a shocked and terrified bellow, Number 10 knew that this could not go on. He summoned all his strength and headed deeper into the base.

Pfft, pfft . Streams of sword intent penetrated through his brain, but he used all his power in attempt to suppress them and heal himself. Behind him, several tens of streams of demolition sword light landed on him intermittently, following closely behind him. They slashed his body continuously, sending blood and flesh splattering.

However, Number 10's vitality was really strong. Even though he was being slashed by the demolition sword light ceaselessly, that only depleted 40% of his body's structure and he could still move as per normal. Just like an tank charging onward, he smashed through layers of walls and even dug through layers of rock. He continued to close in toward Fang Qian and the others.

The guards whom he had finally encountered on his way were like small bugs, directly crushed by the shock waves from the two people passing by. The two of them did not even have to pay any special attention to the guards.

In the command post, everyone was breaking out in cold sweat as they looked at the image reflected in the mirror.

"Fang Xingjian... How is it possible that he can perform the Supreme Chief's Astral Obscurity Sword?" Hildebrand spoke out in astonishment. "Could it be that the Supreme Chief and the others..."

"Let's not be bothered with that for now," the Phantom Knight said anxiously, "They're coming."

Fang Qian stared at the streams of sword light in the image. She was finding it hard to believe that Number 10, who could defeat them easily from a five-kilometer distance, was being chased like a dog by Fang Xingjian.

Moreover, it had only just been earlier that they were still thinking of how they would deal with this Fang Xingjian...

Chapter 470: Evolve

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

While everyone in the command post was astonished by Fang Xingjian's and Number 10's performances, a wall behind them trembled furiously. Then a big part of the wall started to pop out.

As it protruded till its limit, the surface of the entire wall started to shatter and develop many deep cracks. This carried on until a fist pushed forth from the center of the cracks, creating a big hole in the middle of the wall.

Upon walking in and looking at the five people who had fallen to the ground, Number 10's gaze was filled with excitement. He jumped impatiently toward the Phantom Knight, biting and breaking off his neck.

Even though the pitiful Phantom Knight was a Demigod who had attained one tier of perfection, he could not unleash even a hint of extraordinary strength after being hit by the malevolent willpower impact. Although he was on the verge of death, his physical body, which had attained a perfection in specialty seeds, unleashed an explosive outburst of powerful energy. The Phantom Knight continued to give it his all, struggling and fighting back. He almost caused the collapse of the entire command post, yet he was still unable to hurt Number 10 and ended up having a large part of his body eaten up.

After engulfing a Demigod who had attained one tier of perfection in the area of specialty seeds and thus had a body containing boundless power... Number 10's body, which was in a pathetic state, started to recover at a rapid rate. Even his physical strength rose up once again.

This was number 10's true power. Through engulfing living things, especially the bodies of humans, he could rapidly increase his power.

In less than a second, he ate up the Phantom Knight completely. Then, with another pounce, he grabbed the despairing Enraged Lion. This ex-spy of the Steel Lion Kingdom was now like a defenseless baby before Number 10.

The Enraged Lion frantically punched and kicked out at Number 10. However, as the colliding sounds of bang bang bang bang rang out and Number 10's body continued to tremble incessantly, all the power from the Enraged Lion's attacks was completely absorbed and negated. The attacks could not stop Number 10 even for a split second.

Number 10's mouth opened up at an unbelievable speed, until it was almost as wide as the width of Enraged Lion's body, and he engulf the entirety of the Enraged Lion's upper body. As Number 10 exerted force into his teeth, the Enraged Lion let out frantic and terrified cries. Then the Enraged Lion's body continued to be broken up and swallowed into Number 10's body.

In that instant, the Enraged Lion had already explosively unleashed all the power in his body and started to struggle. Intense sounds of explosions kept ringing out from Number 10's body, and over 100 or even 1,000 imprints of punches popped up from the surface of his skin. His body continued to expand and shrink, but the frequency started to decrease with time.

Then, under Fang Qian's terrified gaze, the Enraged Lion's bloody head popped out from Number 10's mouth.

"Save... Save me!"

The Enraged Lion's face, which was covered with tears and blood, was filled with complete despair. However, he was eventually pushed back by Number 10, who was smiling.

A loud swallowing sound emerged from Number 10. After consecutively engulfing two human experts, his physical wounds had completely recovered. Moreover, under Hildebrand's and Fang Qian's astonished and horrified gazes, Number 10's body abruptly trembled for a moment. There even seemed to be hints of electricity extending out slowly from his body.

Many green veins covered his neck, and his spine protruded prominently.

Fang Qian said in astonishment, "What happened? What happened to him?" She looked toward Hildebrand who shook his head in a daze and said unconsciously, "Seeing this... why does it seems as if he is increasing his body's toughness and cultivating his heavenly thunders and terrestrial magnetism forces?"

However, at the next moment, an even more astonishing scene appeared. Number 10's eyes gleamed, and rays of light which were like a seven-colored glaze appeared on his eyes. This was Phantom Knight's illusion technique!

Fang Qian then looked at Number 10's hands. They had changed in shape at the very next instant. The muscles in his hands contracted and stretched out, then many sharp claws protruded out from his fingertips.

"This is the Enraged Lion's technique—the Steel Lion Kingdom's Beast King's Claws. It can instantly change the structure of the user's hands starting from the surface of the user's physical particles. The hands would gain an increase in sharpness and speed, the ability to poison as well as induce paralysis, and other effects.."

The Steel Lion Kingdom, a great country in the north, could be said to be the country with the greatest level of mastery and prevalence in using shapeshifting techniques in the world. Their experts tended to be able to change the shape of their bodies time and time again, gaining many abilities they did not have before.

Seeing Number 10 perform the techniques belonging to both the Phantom Knight and the Enraged Lion, a terrifying thought appeared in everyone's minds.

Then at the next moment, Number 10's strange laughter rang out in the minds of the remaining three people.

"Your guess is correct.

"Other than excelling in willpower impact, my physical body's true ability is to continuously evolve and increase in strength by repeatedly engulfing other people. There's even a slight chance of be being able to steal their techniques.

"As long as I am given enough time, I'm invincible."

Hearing the message Number 10 sent to their consciousness, Fang Qian, Hildebrand, and even the Death Warrior, who had been maintaining an expressionless face like an ice mountain, started to show signs of despair on their faces.

Number 10's consciousness attacks could seal the extraordinary strength of Demigods who had attained one tier of perfection, while the abilities of his physical body could continue to evolve as he engulfed his targets time and time again. He could even incessantly steal the techniques of others.

'How on earth did such a monster emerge? He is no longer human... No... He is the nemesis of all living creatures!'

Fang Qian started bellowing furiously in her heart. In her eyes, as long as he was given sufficient time, the current Number 10 would become a monster terminator that could destroy the entire human world and kill countless human experts.

In her mind, she was not contemplating how she could survive this situation but rather, how she could pass this information out.

'We must inform Divine level experts and let them kill this monster completely before he has fully matured.'

Right now, she no longer cared about things like benefits, influences, and clans. At this point in time, Fang Qian was facing what seemed like a crisis concerning the survival of the entire human population.

Number 10 broke into a brutal smile, and with another slight leap, he pounced toward the Death Warrior. However, just as he was about to pounce on the Death Warrior, there seemed to be a myriad of sword lights flashing past in void space.

Clank clank clank clank . There were sounds of the streams of sword light colliding against the arm Number 10 had extended. Although they were unable to slash off Number 10's arm, they managed to stop his attack.

Looking at the approximately one-inch-deep wound on his arm, Number 10 broke into a loud laugh. "Idiot, you're already too late. Right now, my body's density is no longer at a level which you can destroy so easily."

It had only taken Number 10 a few seconds to engulf two experts, while the speed of Fang Xingjian's movement between the spatial gaps had slowed down significantly compared to his usual speed. This led to him missing out on the earlier scene during which Number 10 had engulfed two people.

As he stood within the spatial gaps, Fang Xingjian's brows perked up slightly. Earlier, when he sent out a sword slash, he had wanted to chop off Number 10's arm. However, even after the demolition sword light was completely depleted, he had only managed to leave a wound which was about an inch deep.

To think that after all the fighting and engulfing, Number 10 had gone through an evolution. Through the greatly increased density of the prodigious demolition sword physique in his body, Number 10 had fended off the demolition effect of Fang Xingjian's demolition sword light. As such, only a small part of Number 10's body suffered damage.

Number 10 swung his arm, and the wound started disappearing at a visible speed.

At the appearance of the flashing sword light, gleams of hope had started to light up Fang Qian's eyes. However, when she saw Number 10's reaction, all that hope turned into despair.

'Even Fang Xingjian isn't able to kill him?'

However, knowing that Fang Xingjian, who could perform the Astral Obscurity Sword, had arrived, she felt reassured. She knew that while Fang Xingjian was still not a match for Number 10, at the very least, Number 10 would not be able to catch Fang Xingjian either.

Thinking this, she immediately shouted loudly, "Fang Xingjian! This monster can evolve by engulfing others, and he can steal their techniques by eating them!

"You must find a chance to inform the First Prince and the Second Prince. If he is not eradicated before he has fully matured, the entire human world will face a great crisis!"

Number 10 did not stop Fang Qian and instead looked at this scene with a grin and a strange gleam shining in his eyes.

Chapter 471: Kill

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

When Fang Xingjian saw Fang Qian, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes. He had not expected that the Fang Clan from Earth had already joined hands with the First Prince.

Fang Qian, Hildebrand, and the Death Warrior all looked at Number 10 anxiously. A cold gleam burst forth from Number 10's eyes and luminous light exploded from all over his body.

"Kid, come out here. Weren't you enjoying yourself chasing after me?" An arrogant aura gushed forth from Number 10's face. He spread out his hands and peered at the surrounding space, as if he was waiting for Fang Xingjian to attack once again.

"I've already broken through your sword technique. When I get my hands on you, I'll tear you into strips and grill you up to eat."

Although Number 10 appeared to be very arrogant, he was in fact extremely anxious.

'What kind of sword technique did this kid perform? Why is it that I'm unable to find any traces of him in the least?

'I must scare him off. Otherwise, if I allow him to continue staring at me, chasing and slashing at me, no matter how strong my vitality is, I won't be able to hang on.'

Number 10's eyes squinted. He knew that right now, the stronger his aura, the higher the possibility that the other party would be scared off.

Number 10's entire body squirmed as he activated the Enraged Lion's Killing technique—Lion-man Transformation. All the muscles on his body continued to tremble, changing its shape continuously as his joints grew thicker. Streams of blood burst out from various parts of his body, looking just like countless wings.

His canine teeth lengthened to over ten centimeters long. Numerous hair strands that had defenses comparable to Superior Divine Weapons gushed forth, turning him completely into a lion-man.

As he moved his hands, metal-like claws of over ten centimeters grew out. They clashed against each other with clanking sounds.

"Very good. This is the kind of power I want."

Fang Qian's expression changed and even Hildebrand could not help but say, "He can even use the Steel Lion Kingdom's Lion-man Transformation? This Killing technique can double the user's explosive power and defense, at the very least. This monster... If this were to go on, then there really won't be anyone who can suppress him."

Number 10 broke into a satisfied smile and then bellowed again. However, no sword light flashed anymore. Although Fang Qian hoped that Fang Xingjian could leave to inform the First Prince and the Second Prince, when she, Hildebrand, and the Death Warrior saw this scene, they all knew that if this were to go on they would be doomed.

Expressions of desperation started to appear on their faces and even number 10 nodded inwardly, 'Has he really been frightened off by me? Then… Let's try it out a little more...'

Number 10 had gradually realized how terrifying the other party's sword technique was. It would come and go without warning, catching the opponent unaware.

It was like a longsword that was constantly hanging above his head, constantly dealing him waves of threats.

'If I have the opportunity, I must eat this kid up and learn his sword technique.'

Thinking of this, he spread out his five fingers and coldly declared, "If he has escaped, then so be it. I'll eat up the three of you first."

With a flash, he darted out toward the Death Warrior. However, at this moment, the sword light in the air burst forth once again. This time around, it exploded directly in Number 10's eyes, turning them into dust.

A world-shaking agonizing scream rang out and Number 10 struggled frantically as he clawed out crazily in all directions. Accompanied by a series of after images, the aerial blades that his claws made when they slashed out were slicing up the surrounding table, chairs, walls, and the ground, turning everything into pieces. The Death Warrior closest to him was also slashed into countless fragments.

However, attacks like these were unable to hit Fang Xingjian, who was darting between spatial gaps. Just as Number 10 was crazily striking back, a brilliant sword light exploded in his eyes once again, turning into many minuscule swords that dug deeper into his eye sockets. It was as if they wanted to enter Number 10's brain and wreak havoc inside.

It was only after quite a while had passed that Number 10 finally thought of using his hands to block his eyes. This left countless sword marks on his palms, but he managed to block off Fang Xingjian's attack on his eyes.

'To think that this kid had thought of such a thing!

'It's true that many parts of one's body can't be changed. For example, the eyeballs. If their density was changed, then they wouldn't be able to perform their normal abilities.'

Sensing the waves of sword light brushed to and fro on the surface of his body, Number 10 snorted coldly as he tensed up his entire body, shrinking into a ball to passively receive Fang Xingjian's attacks.

"Kid, you won't be able to kill me. Once you've depleted all your energy today, I'll go look for your family and your friends and eat them all up!"

However, it seemed as if Fang Xingjian had not heard anything. Sword light burst forth in waves, brushing on the surface of Number 10's body. The waves seemed to be scraping off Number 10's skin layer by layer.

As he was constantly under the attack of the Astral Obscurity Sword, Number 10 could only move the majority of the physical particles in his body toward the surface, in order to increase the density of his skin, so that he could fend off Fang Xingjian's demolition sword light.

However, as Fang Xingjian continued to perform the Astral Obscurity Sword, the movement of the sword light got increasingly shrewd and smooth, their prowess increasingly stronger as well.

Earlier it was as if several hundreds of swords had encompassed Number 10's body. At the next moment, they had turned into a myriad attacking elements of sword light. After another two to three seconds, the sword light had even started to twist and change, darting into all the gaps in Number 10's body.

The latter had no choice but to seal up the seven apertures in his head as he desperately withstood the attacks.

However, the improvement in Fang Xingjian's sword arts within such a short period of time still made him extremely astonished. He did not know that Fang Xingjian was leveling up his Astral Obscurity Sword.

The next moment, the sword light suddenly disappeared. Just as Number 10 thought that Fang Xingjian had given up, and was getting ready to laugh, streams of sword light came penetrating explosively from under his skin.

'What?!'

Fang Xingjian's demolition sword light exploded directly in Number 10's body.

It was because within such a short period of time, his Astral Obscurity Sword had already far surpassed that of the Supreme Chief's, reaching an unprecedented level 40.

At level 40, the Astral Obscurity Sword could directly penetrate through physical material via spatial gaps, exploding from within any physical cell.

This meant that Fang Xingjian's current Astral Obscurity Sword did not only allow him to fend off attacks by darting into spatial gaps, but his attacks could even relate directly to the interior of physical substances.

In order to fight against Fang Xingjian, Number 10 increased the density on the surface of his body. This made the surface of his body qualitative stronger than all other parts of his body, making it very difficult for one to destroy or penetrate through it.

However, the various organs of his body had thus become weaker by a huge degree.

The abrupt explosion of the Prodigious Demolition Sword Physique caused almost all the internal organs in Number 10's body to turn into pools of blood.

It was not just Fang Xingjian's sword techniques. The Heaven's Volition Sword Intent had also exploded concurrently, crazily gushing through Number 10's consciousness and slashing his consciousness into pieces.

Number 10 puked out a large mouthful of blood and at the next moment, under Fang Qian's and Hildebrand's terrified and astonished gazes, his entire body was encompassed by stacked layers sword light. Concurrently, the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent exploded waves of excited glow, crazily wiping out Number 10's malevolent will.

In the end, Number 10 was only left with a layer of an outer shell as he stood stiffly in the air.

Other than the surface of Number 10's skin, all other parts of his body had been completely destroyed. The Heaven's Volition Sword Intent returned into Fang Xingjian's mind with a sense of satisfaction.

The next moment, Fang Xingjian appeared before Fang Qian, looking at her expressionlessly. The latter looked at him in turn, with a terrified gaze.

However, at the next moment, Fang Qian suddenly laughed out loud, "Fang Xingjian, I hadn't expected you to be able to progress to this level in but half a year."

On the other hand, Hildebrand looked at Fang Xingjian in a daze. All sorts of thoughts ran amok in his mind, in complete chaos.

Chapter 472: All Sorts of News

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

'To think that Fang Xingjian had single-handedly killed Number 10 so easily!'

He thought of how, from the very beginning, Fang Xingjian had chased and slashed after Number 10 like a father hitting his son.

Thinking of how Fang Xingjian had wiped out the entire base, single-handedly, with his sword, Hildebrand wore a bitter expression.

Suddenly, he looked toward Fang Xingjian and asked, "Fang Xingjian, did you encounter my grandfather, the Supreme Chief, and the others? How is it that you've picked up the Supreme Chief's Astral Obscurity Sword?

Fang Xingjian replied with indifference, "Other than the Supreme Chief, I've killed all the others."

Hildebrand looked at Fang Xingjian in disbelief, eyes agape. It seemed as if his entire world had collapsed.

However, with the abilities which Fang Xingjian had displayed, Hildebrand believed Fang Xingjian would have been capable of doing so.

His grandfather was the ex-Governor of the Beize Continent and could be said to be their clan's pillar. To think that he had now been killed by Fang Xingjian... This made him feel that all hopes were gone and that the future of their clan was precarious.

What made him that much more infuriated was that as he looked at Fang Xingjian, he could not even gather a hint of courage to go up against him.

'Too powerful, Fang Xingjian is too powerful. Even if I were to go all out, even if I were to mobilize our entire clan, it would only be a suicidal mission...'

Fang Xingjian threw a look at Hildebrand and said, "Do you want to take revenge?" Looking at Hildebrand's grim countenance, Fang Xingjian said, "You grandfather came to kill me. Of course I had to kill him.

"As for you, you got Tynon to bring me trouble. Of course I'll have to teach you a lesson as well."

Saying that, Fang Xingjian pointed out with his sword fingers and Hildebrand was chopped off at the waist. However, as expected of the student ranked second in the academy, Hildebrand did not wish to display any signs of weaknesses before Fang Xingjian.

Even though he was in so much pain that green veins were popping out on his forehead, he did not cry out a single time.

Fang Xingjian nodded and said, "Not bad. I've only let you have a taste of pain. Although this injury is painful, with your cultivation, you'll be able to regenerate.

"I'll let what you've done before go, but if you come look for me for vengeance, I'll still kill you."

Right after, Fang Xingjian turned to look toward Fang Qian and asked with a cold gleam in his eyes. "Fang Qian, you're a member of the Fang Clan's side branch, right? I have many questions to ask you. First of all, tell me why you're here."

Fang Qian let out a bitter laugh, lay down on the ground, and took a long look at Fang Xingjian.

Thinking back to the power which Fang Xingjian had just displayed, she felt extremely shaken.

'With such a great level of sword arts cultivation, if he really has immunity to black magic, then... He might really be able to go against Li Shuanghua (Fang Clan's Old Granny).'

Looking at Fang Xingjian, Fang Qian said, "With your current abilities, it's true that you have the rights to know about these things."

When she was saying this, Fang Qian was speaking in Chinese, which only herself and Fang Xingjian could understand. Hildebrand was completely at a loss.

"Fang Clan has only come into contact with the First Prince about half a year ago. He owns powerful technical abilities, so we're here to try out combinations of technology, magic prints, and the ether particles."

Fang Xingjian's brows twitched and he asked, "That thing earlier which went out of control was also created by you guys?"

"That was Number 10. He wasn't created by us. We hadn't managed to modify him either. As for the other two whom you've seen earlier, the one with the metallic skin and the black Heavenly Demon, they've been modified by us."

Fang Xingjian recalled the malevolent will coming from Number 10, his strange ability, and that aura which was very similar to the one that was on that Divine level spinal bone. He asked, "Where did you guys find that... Number 10? What on earth is he?"

Fang Qian shook her head, "I don't know. We found him in an ancient tomb. That ancient tomb is a little strange. At the moment, we're unable to determine the era he came from either. Based on the studies of the historians here, they haven't found any decorations and buildings similar to any of the countries or dynasties. We only know that it is very ancient.

"The strangest thing is that..." Fang Qian shook her head strangely, "The words used in the tomb are very similar to our Chinese language."

"Very similar?"

"Writing-wise, they seemed to be even simpler than our Chinese language. Although we haven't seen many of the words before, we do have a general understanding of their meaning." Fang Qian smiled bitterly and shook her head. "There're too many unsolved mysteries in the Miracle World. There are too many lapses and blanks in the history here and it's really hard to fathom."

Fang Xingjian thought of the Book of Origin and the 12 onslaughts. He asked once again, "What was written in that ancient tomb?"

"The content is meagre. It only says that Number 10, whom they had addressed as the Descender, appeared in a country called China. He caused all sorts of massacres and disasters and it was only after countless sacrifices made by the military back then that he was finally sealed in the ancient tomb.

"The tomb then warns the people who might stumble upon it that Number 10 is extremely dangerous."

Recalling this, Fang Qian smiled bitterly, shaking her head, "It's a pity that we didn't take the warning seriously."

Fang Xingjian asked, "They didn't say why they didn't kill Number 10 nor why they sealed him up like that instead?"

"No." Fang Qian shook her head.

"China?" Fang Xingjian stroked his chin and asked, "What country is that?"

"I don't know," Fang Qian said.

At the same time, Tyrant, who was in the form of a bangle, frowned and said, "China... Why do I feel that it sounds so familiar? I seemed to have heard of it somewhere before."

Fang Xingjian did not comment on this. He was only curious about Number 10's existence and background. Since Fang Qian could not answer many of his questions about this, he did not mind it too much. He looked straight into her eyes and asked, "Then tell me the situation in Fang Clan right now."

"Fang Clan..."

"That's right. I'll ask you first. How's that younger cousin of mine?"

"You mean Fang Xingchen?" Fang Qian smirked, saying, "That younger cousin of yours is doing really good. Not only has he become the direct disciple of the Black Mage King, he even has my younger brother as his apostle, and he is getting stronger at a tremendous rate.

"You should understand that regardless of whether it is black magic or magic prints, as long as the right method is applied and as long as there are sufficient resources, the progress is very fast. It's like a factory's mass production, opposite to the path of Knights, which requires one to cultivate day and night."

Fang Xingjian asked the question which he had wanted to ask all along. "The power of black magic comes from the gods beyond the heavens. The same goes for the magic prints. What on earth is the relationship between the two? Is it something that was invented by the Mage Association?"

"What do you think?" Fang Qian asked calmly. "The origins of the magic prints are something of the highest level of confidentiality. Even I am not aware of the truth. However, based on what I know, the Mage Association... didn't have the magic prints in the past."

"No magic prints?"

"That's right, in Miracle World's history, based on what I could find out, the magic prints simply don't exist." Fang Qian said, "And don't you think that compared to black magic, the use of magic prints is simpler and much more practical? It's more technical, much like a product resulted from the evolution of black magic."

Fang Xingjian fell silent. However, Fang Qian suddenly laughed, saying, "Fang Xingjian, I do have another piece of information for you.

"It's about your mother."

Chapter 473: Mother

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

"My mother?"

Hearing what Fang Qian said, Fang Xingjian felt as if there were flames burning in his chest. He glared at Fang Qian and said, "Speak up."

"Your mother was a rare talented genius. You probably inherited your talent from her." Fang Qian spoke with indifference, "Then do you know that when your mother gave birth to you, she had already reached the Divine level?"

"Divine level?" Fang Xingjian was slightly stunned, and he stared at Fang Qian while saying, "That's impossible. If she was at the Divine level, then there's no way that she would have been beaten to death by that old lady, Li Shuanghua."

"It's because she was seriously injured. When she came to Fang Clan, she was already suffering from serious injuries." Fang Qian face was filled with a sneer. "After that old lady, Li Shuanghua, killed your mother, she kept her corpse."

"That's impossible. My mother's ashes are placed in Fang Clan's ancestral hall."

"That's a fake," Fang Qian spoke with indifference. "The Empire has the technology to forge Divine Weapons and is able to turn the remains of Divine level experts into Divine Remains Equipment. Li Shuanghua had long set her sights on this skill of theirs.

"However, this skill had not really been able to develop on Earth. Therefore, your mother's remains have been left untouched.

"But ever since she got into contact with the First Prince, she received a tremendous amount of technical information. Therefore, Li Shuanghua is already planning to use your mother's corpse to come up with a piece of Divine Remains Equipment..."

Before Fang Qian could finish, at almost the same time when she reacted, her body had already penetrated through over ten kilometers of ground and air. She soon found herself up in the sky.

Wherever she passed by, the ground would crack and the base would collapse. It was as if there was a huge dragon flipping over its body underground.

Then she felt a tremendous pain throughout her body. Her bones cracked, and her internal organs were smashed. Fang Qian puked out a mouthful of blood and looked at Fang Xingjian who was grabbing her by the throat. His eyes were shining with sword light, as if no there were no pupils or any hints of humanity in them.

"Stay... Stay calm..."

Boom! Streams of sword force burst out from the surface of Fang Xingjian's body, turning all the cloud layers within a radius of ten kilometers into dust. Despite Fang Xingjian being several kilometers above the ground, countless formless sword force also lashed out at the ground. This created numerous sword marks in the ground, with varying lengths and depths which could reach several hundreds or even thousands of meters long.

"Has she already done it, or is she just planning to do it? Think properly before you answer me. If I find any sign of you trying to lie, even if it's just a little..."

Fang Xingjian's voice was as cold as Siberia's cold wind. His agitated negative emotions continued to extend out from deep within his consciousness, slowly exceeding the degree at which he could tolerate.

As he finished his words, four streams of sword light which were in the shape of a cross had already exploded on Fang Qian's body, sending blood splattering.

Fang Qian let out a stifled snort. Then she looked at Fang Xingjian, whose face was filled with killing intent and did not seem to look like a human, and she quickly shouted, "Not yet! They're still doing the final preparations!"

"When are they planning to start?"

Fang Qian gulped as she looked at Fang Xingjian, who had an increasingly intense killing intent surging in his eyes. He gave her the feeling of a wild beast who had come from hell. Sword force continued to gush through her body which felt like it would be torn into shreds at any time.

"Half a month. There's still half a month before they'll attempt to cut up your mother's corpse." Fang Qian no longer dared to hide anything from Fang Xingjian, nor did she dare to attempt a negotiation.

"After your mother died, Li Shuanghua sealed up her corpse in ice. It's said that her corpse has been very well preserved.

"They plan to unseal it one week from now and then start cutting up her corpse two weeks later."

Fang Xingjian opened his mouth slightly, and there seemed to be streams of air currents accompanying his inhales and exhales. They turned into sword Qis and emerged from his mouth. "Li Shuanghua, you really deserve to die."

Endless sword intent extended out from Fang Xingjian's body. There had never been a time when he felt like killing a person this much.

There was only a last hint of rationality holding him back, allowing him to temporarily suppress the fury in his heart.

'Within a week, I must rush back to the Demonic City.'

Thinking this, Fang Xingjian looked toward Fang Qian and said, "Tell me all the information you have about Li Shuanghua! Tell me the whereabouts of my mother's corpse as well!"

Fang Qian gulped and looked at the surrounding situation as well as the ground. Then she said, "You can't possibly want me to say it here? Everything will only start one week later. Calm down. Let's settle the problem about the base. One or two more hours won't hurt."

Fang Xingjian closed his eyes. He knew that it was impossible for him to ignore it and leave the First Prince's underground base like that. Therefore, he tried hard to suppress the killing intent in his body.

Fang Qian said, "This base is the product of the First Prince's immeasurable effort in the area of modifying living creatures. His final goal was originally to use this technology to modify 36 Divine level experts in order to help him complete the Hell's Map.

"He's even thinking of assembling an army of Demigods. However, there are too many difficulties, and right now, we've only just barely created the body of a Demigod even after depleting majority of the base's resources."

Fang Xingjian continued to listen, and it was only then that he found out a test subject by the name of number 13 was the new product of the research done by Fang Qian and the others. Number 13's consciousness had been completely wiped out, and his physical body had been forcibly pushed up to two tiers of perfection.

This was already considered very amazing. From then on, they would only have to think of a way to transfer a portion of consciousness into his body, just like the Holy Orison's letter and just like how there were remnant consciousness in the Heavenly Abyss Annihilation Armor. This would allow them to have a Demigod who was at two tiers of perfection.

It was a pity that Fang Qian and the others had yet to come up with a plan for mass production. Despite this, Number 13's physical body could already be said to be the most valuable item in the entire base.

An hour later, Hildebrand was standing on a sand dune several kilometers away with a pale face. The wounds at his waist seemed to have already recovered.

Right now, he was looking in the direction of the of the underground base. With a world-shakingly tremendous sound, the entire ground sank in. Several millions of tons of sand plunged down at a crazy rate, filling up the smashed up hole underground.

In a short one to two hours later, the entire underground base collapsed completely and was filled up with endless sand.

Hildebrand dropped down and sat on the ground. His mind was filled with Fang Xingjian's figure.

Elsewhere, everyone in the Great Western Region Regional Academy realized that Fang Xingjian had returned. A black-haired and black-eyed lady, who looked slightly similar to Fang Xingjian, had also returned with him.

In a room in the Sacred Land, Fang Xingjian frowned and asked, "So, in all, there are seven Divine level experts on Earth?"

"That's right," Fang Qian said. "Each of the five major clans has one, and the Earth's Federation Government has two. If you wish to deal with Li Shuanghua, at least two others will help her. In addition to her, there will be three Divine level experts in total."

Fang Xingjian did not say anything and instead looked at the 'person' on the other side.

Although it was said to be a human, it was still strange. That was because the person looked like a lump of flesh which kept on changing. All the skin, muscles, and bones continued to undergo ceaseless changes as if it had no fixed form.

This was the test subject number 13 which Fang Xingjian had snatched from the First Prince's base at the end. It was a physical body at the Demigod level which had attained two tiers of perfection in body's toughness and specialty seeds respectively.

Fang Qian spoke up again, "But it might not be impossible for you to defeat them. After all, it seems as if you... are immune to the power of magic prints and the evil gods' powers, right?"

Fang Xingjian lifted his head and looked at Fang Qian while saying. "That's what I want to know too. Test it out on me."

Chapter 474: Preparation

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

An hour later, in the training room in the Sacred Land, Fang Qian looked at Fang Xingjian in a daze, as if she was looking at an alien.

She mumbled, "All abilities that have direct effects are rendered useless. Abilities with indirect effects still can work, but all defense effects are useless."

After going through one hour of experimentation, Fang Qian had already managed to roughly gauge Fang Xingjian's immunity ability.

Using a small fireball as an example, the fireball's direct attack would be useless. However, it would work if the fireball were to explode and send stones flying, which would end up colliding into Fang Xingjian's body.

It was the same for defense. They would be useless if launched directly on one's body. But if the flames were to burn and form a layer of armor, the armor's defense would be effective.

Fang Qian said, "But this is already amazing. Based on what I know, Li Shuanghua excels in controlling the atmosphere and pressure, forming attacks with various high speed air currents.

"However, it's said that Divine level experts' will can directly affect physical material and their bodies are indestructible. As long as their will lives on, they won't die.

"They'll only truly die when they've reached the end of their lifespan and their will has died."

Fang Xingjian nodded. "I'll make arrangements for the things here within two days. Then, I'll go into seclusion for three days. The moment I come out, we'll head to Demonic City."

Fang Xingjian's decision to go into seclusion was because he planned on synthesizing all of his sword techniques into one in order for him to go up against Divine level experts.

Sensing the crazy killing intent behind Fang Xingjian's words, Fang Qian gulped. She knew that this time around, Fang Xingjian would probably be bringing up a storm of bloodshed to Demonic City.

As he spoke, Fang Xingjian turned toward test subject number 13. "But before I leave, if I can turn Number 13 into my clone, then it'll greatly increase my battle prowess."

If he could turn test subject number 13 into his own clone, he would be able to increase his battle prowess at least by 50%.

However, even Fang Qian and the others had not truly succeeded in the skill of transferring consciousness. Naturally, Fang Xingjian did not hold much hope that she would be able to help him achieve this in a mere few days.

However, other than transferring consciousness, Fang Xingjian had another way of making this clone his.

Fang Xingjian pat his bangle and asked, "Tyrant, you're able to engulf this clone, right?"

"Me? Me?!" Tyrant asked in great astonishment. "You're willing to let me engulf this clone?"

"That's right, amongst the three of us, you have the highest chances of succeeding." Fang Xingjian said. "This time around, I'll be up against one or more Divine level experts when I head back to Demonic City.

"Although they are all magic prints Warriors, and I don't know why but I have immunity to evil gods' powers, having one more Demigod will greatly increase my success rate.

"And the First Prince channeled his legacy of all 1,440 specialty seeds into his body, which allowed him to attain perfection in specialty seeds.

"If I can make this clone mine, I'll be able to gain the information of all 1,440 specialty seeds."

Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, Tyrant heated up and felt extremely excited. If he could engulf this Demigod clone, he would be able to become much, much stronger than before.

Thinking of this, Tyrant immediately agreed. "Sure, no problem. Leave it to me."

However, as Fang Xingjian continued talking, Tyrant felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over him.

"There's no problem if you engulf this Demigod clone. But if I sense that you are harboring some other thoughts, even if it's just a tiny one, then don't blame me for killing you with my sword."

During the next two days, Fang Xingjian started to deal with all the matters in Great Western City.

In the training room, Ferdinand, Anthony and Zhou Xingwen, as well as Anderson, who had just joined, stood there quietly.

Regardless if it was Ferdinand, the second transition Zhou Xingwen, or the most prideful Anderson, they were all looking at Fang Xingjian, their eyes filled with astonishment, respect, fear, anxiety, and other emotions.

Right now, the news of Fang Xingjian single-handedly defeating the joint efforts of the Supreme Chief and the other two experts had already spread through the entire Great Western Region. The news was even spreading out to the other few continents.

There were even some who were revered as the number one expert in the Great Western Region, or the top genius in the Empire.

Ferdinand and the others looked at Fang Xingjian, developing a strong distant feeling, as if a formless pressure was pressing down on their hearts.

Recently, when they were doing their work, they received help from various parties, and there was almost no one in the Great Western Region who dared not show any respect to Fang Xingjian.

Fang Xingjian's disciple, Lilia, stood next to Fang Xingjian. After having gone through the second level of mystical prints, her will was stronger and she had sprinted through with rapid improvements. She should be able to attain a breakthrough to reaching the Heaven's Perception soon, having the chance of stepping into the second transition.

Fang Xingjian looked at the members of this group under him and asked calmly, "How's the preparation of the materials coming along?"

The materials he was referring to were, of course, the materials required for the level 8, 9, and 10 of the mystical prints. Hearing that, Anthony said, "Sir, I'm sorry. We've only finished gathering the materials you require for the first list. We're still short of some crucial materials for the second and third list."

Fang Xingjian nodded. It was already a pleasant surprise that he could complete the eighth level of the mystical prints before he headed to Demonic City.

"Bring me all the things later." Then, he continued to ask, "How about the forging of the Divine Remains Equipment? Has Wang Clan agreed?"

"They say that they would require some preparations and might come over in another two weeks. They will then need to make preparations to the environment in the academy. It's estimated to take a month."

Fang Xingjian said, "Get them to hasten the process. I'll be going into seclusion for a period of time, but I don't know exactly for how long. It could be one month, two months, or I might even keep myself in seclusion until the National Selection."

Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, everyone was astonished, especially Anderson. Hearing that Fang Xingjian was going into seclusion again, he could not help but ask the question which everyone was very curious about. "Xingjian, are you already a Demigod?"

Fang Xingjian nodded and said, "One tier of perfection."

Hearing this, everyone present let out a long breath. Lilia looked at Fang Xingjian fervently, feeling extremely proud that he was her Master, an unprecedented genius throughout the Miracle World's entire history.

Zhou Xingwen said solemnly, "Xingjian, don't worry. During the time when you're not around, we'll definitely complete all the things on your behalf. Regardless if it's in gathering the materials or preparing for the forging of the Divine Remains Equipment, you can rest assured."

Fang Xingjian nodded. Then, he moved his consciousness and handed out the first three levels of the mystical prints.

Right now, all these trusted followers of his had already undergone changes through the mystical prints and when they saw these three levels of the mystical prints, everyone was elated.

"This time around, no one is allowed to disturb me in my seclusion.

"You guys can complete all three levels of the mystical prints. Don't get bullied when I'm not around."

Ferdinand smiled and said, "Xingjian, don't worry. Right now, with your current reputation, you're number one in sword arts in the Great Western Region. Who would dare not to show you respect?"

This was the truth. Ferdinand and the others were now considered core members of their own clans, let alone when they were outside. Members of their clans had praised them for making the right decision of joining Fang Xingjian back then.

Fang Xingjian let the others take their leave and he then said to Lilia, "Lilia, I'll help you comprehend the Heaven's Perception right now. I hope that by the time I'm out from my seclusion, you'll have already attained the second transition."

Regardless of whether his trip to Demonic City was successful or not, the situation in the entire Miracle World would only become increasingly dangerous in the future. Those below second transition would basically be considered purely cannon fodder.

With that, under Lilia's gaze of great anticipation, Fang Xingjian's hand reached toward Lilia's head.

Chapter 475: Challenge

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

In the next two days, Fang Xingjian made arrangements for all his subordinates. They would continue to gather the materials for the ninth and tenth level of the mystical prints, make arrangements for the blacksmith team from the Eastern Sand Region's Wang Clan, and make preparations for the forging of the Divine Remains Equipment.

During these two days, Fang Xingjian had also helped Lilia experience the feeling of Heaven's Perception three times in a row.

Having experienced it for three times, in addition to the effect of the mystical prints, Lilia entered a state of a daze, as if she would be able to enter a whole new realm any moment now.

It was also during these two days that a tremendous amount of materials that could be used to accelerate the rate of condensing specialty seeds were stored in Fang Xingjian's Gates of the Netherworld, allowing him to carry the materials with him at all times and helping him condense specialty seeds at all times.

After everything was taken care of, Fang Xingjian announced that he would go into complete seclusion.

During the time when Fang Xingjian had suppressed all the factions of the Great Western City, searched for the desert base, defeated Number 10, returned to the Great Western City to make the necessary arrangements, and thereafter entered seclusion, a man by the name of Tian Yi appeared in the Great Western City.

This man by the name of Tian Yi, who claimed to be the Preeminent Sect's Sect Master, displayed terrifying powers the moment he appeared. He was not a Demigod, yet seemed to be extremely close to one.

He repeatedly challenged the eight strongest martial arts factions in the Great Western City, and not only did he win all of his challenges, he never had to use a second move to defeat his opponents.

What that had truly made him famous was that he had headed to the headquarters of the Illumination Society all alone, and defeated the Illumination Society's Chief and many other experts who had just returned.

It took him only two moves to defeat the Illumination Society's Chief.

Although many members of the Illumination Society claimed at a later time that their Chief had suffered from serious injuries, a win was a win. Tian Yi had become yet another talented expert of his generation in the Great Western Region.

He then consecutively defeated the top three students of the Great Western Region's Regional Academy, further raising his reputation. He was now reputed to be the strongest genius after Fang Xingjian among the younger generation in the Great Western Region.

Being in the midst of such a storm, Tian Yi issued a letter of challenge to Fang Xingjian, who had gone into seclusion.

In the room of the highest story of the the tallest inn in the Great Western City, Tian Yi smiled as he looked at the scenery of the entire city. It was as if he wanted to hold the entire Great Western City into his embrace.

Just then, the door behind him was slowly pushed opened. Hoult, a student of the Myriad Star Palace, walked over slowly. The moment he came in, he frowned and asked, "Brother Tian Yi, why have you thought to challenge Fang Xingjian?"

Hoult and Tian Yi had gotten to know each other at a gathering. Tian Yi thought highly of this student under the teachings of a Divine level expert. Furthermore, the Myriad Star Palace that Hoult had belonged to had a weighty legacy. Tian Yi had been told much information which he had not known before this. There was information which had allowed him to understand the difference between Demigods and Divine level experts. His Stalwart Eidolon Conviction had even progressed one further step, now having various elements of unbelievable profoundness.

"Oh? Why can't I challenge Fang Xingjian?" Tian Yi smiled and said, "He is thought of as the strongest genius of the current generation in the Great Western Region, while I'm ranked second. Of course I would want to challenge him and receive my deserving title of being number one."

"But Fang Xingjian has defeated the Supreme Chief and two other experts. He has already reached the cultivation level of a Demigod." Hoult was trying to persuade Tian Yi to give up on the challenge. "Why don't you continue to work hard on your cultivation for a bit longer, and then challenge him after you've become a Demigod?"

"Two days ago, I made a trip to the Governor's manor at night."

"What?!" Hoult abruptly lifted his head. The Great Western Region's Governor Devitt was a second tier expert among all of level 29. Although he had yet to become a Demigod, he was extremely powerful and his Killing technique was profound. And after he had learned Fang Xingjian's Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves, he had gotten even stronger and was an unfathomable existence to Hoult.

Hoult asked nervously, "You fought with the Governor?"

Tian Yi nodded and said, "We exchanged three moves. Just as I was about to defeat him, another two experts who were in no way weaker than him appeared. However, they weren't important. With my current cultivation, I would only have to put in a little bit more effort to defeat them.

"However, I sensed that there was a broad and profound consciousness hidden in the Governor's manor that had focused his attention on me. I would be put at a disadvantage if the fight were to continue. Therefore, I retreated."

Hearing what Tian Yi had said, Hoult was in a state of great astonishment. He had not expected Tian Yi to be so audacious.

Hoult guessed that the two experts whom Tian Yi said were no weaker than Devitt were likely to be the Governor from two generations ago, as well as the current generation's Deputy Governor.

As for that hidden consciousness...

"Thankfully you did not take action against that powerful concealed consciousness. It's very likely that it's from the Second Prince's technique, Thoughts Across A Thousand Li."

"The Second Prince?" Tian Yi let out a soft laugh, "There'll be one day when we'll have to fight each other."

Hoult sighed, "To think that you could escape so easily from the attacks of the Governor's and the other two. It's true that you have some hopes against Fang Xingjian.

"However, Fang Xingjian has defeated The School of Sword Arts's Supreme Chief after all, and his sword arts cultivation is unfathomable..."

Hearing Hoult's worries, the smile on Tian Yi's face grew increasingly confident and at ease.

He took several steps forward and with each step he took, the surrounding space seemed to be trembling, as if it was shattering. The ground under his feet seemed to have been turned into seawater, fluctuating incessantly.

Under Hoult's astonished gaze, the colors in the space around them started to peel off in bits, like shattered camera lenses, with a layer of shattered images on the exterior. The entire space in the inn's room seemed to have become the streets along the Great Western Region.

Seeing that he had ended up on the streets when he was at the inn to begin with, Hoult was a little surprised when he saw the crowd in the surroundings. He looked at Tian Yi and asked, "What on earth did you do?"

"Ever since you told me about how powerful Demigods and Divine level experts are the other time, I've thought about it for very long and finally understood a theory." Tian Yi said slowly, "There's a limit on one's physical strength and only one's willpower can grow stronger endlessly. And because of this, I've truly understood the true profoundness of the Stalwart Eidolon Conviction.

"In the past, I've focused all my attention on the power of the physical body. I had really been foolish.

"Before slashing a person, first slash the soul. A physical impact is far from comparable to various attacks using our consciousness."

As Tian Yi spoke, the scenes before Hoult continued to change ceaselessly. Streets, grass plains, rivers, snowy mountains...

Various sceneries flashed very quickly.

No matter how hard Hoult tried to use his Heaven's Perception, no matter how sharp his five senses were, he was unable to sense anything strange.

Hoult asked in astonishment, "You've completely controlled my consciousness?"

"That's right. A fight between cultivators is a fight between two wills," Tian Yi said nonchalantly. "In the path of Knights, the will is prioritized. And my Stalwart Eidolon Conviction excels in using the power of my will. As long as I'm willing, I'll be able to let you see or sense anything I want.

"I name this God's Senses."

Hoult had his eyes agape as the surrounding space continued to change rapidly. The world continued to shrink until it became small enough to fit into Tian Yi's palm.

"This is the number one power in the world."

Right now, Tian Yi had almost completely given up on physical reinforcements and had fully channeled the power of the Stalwart Eidolon Conviction onto his spirit and will. He had thus become unbelievably powerful.

On the day when Tian Yi had set for the challenge against Fang Xingjian, Zhou Xingwen stood outside Fang Xingjian's training room and mumbled to himself, "As expected, Xingjian isn't going to come out and face the challenge?"

Just as he was thinking this, he lowered his head and saw that a letter had unknowingly appeared on his palm. He had not even realized when this letter had come to be in his hand.

In the same way, although he had not heard Fang Xingjian talking to him, he knew that this letter was what Fang Xingjian had wanted him to hand over to Tian Yi. It was as if this matter had been in his memories all along.

Chapter 476: Number One Will

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

On the arena, Tian Yi had sat down in an unrestrained manner. One of his hands was supporting his chin, his eyes seemingly blank. No one knew what he was thinking about.

People of all trades had packed into the area under the arena. Even Governor Devitt was standing in the crowd. The Governor from two generations ago, who was now the current Head of Department of the Sword Arts Department, James, stood next to him and asked, "Is this kid the one who had paid a visit to the Governor's manor that night?"

"He's the one." Governor Devitt took a long look at Tian Yi and said, "Although this person has yet to become a Demigod, the power of his martial will is unprecedented. Even an ordinary Demigod might not have such a powerful martial will."

Head of Department James looked at Tian Yi, who was on the arena. He only felt a strong confidence gushing in his face. This Tian Yi, regardless of where he stood, he exuded an extremely strong sense of existence. It was as if he was the center of the entire world, or even of the entire universe.

Head of Department James had never felt such a powerful feeling from anyone before.

"This person will probably be a tough match for Xingjian." James frowned and asked, "What did the Second Prince say?"

Governor Devitt replied, "His Highness said that this person has a mysterious background and that the martial art he cultivates is also beyond the norm. He told us not to go head-up against him for now."

In another place, Hildebrand, who was originally ranked third in the academy, had been in a daze ever since he had returned to Great Western City. Even after he had been challenged by Tian Yi and ended up losing, Hildebrand had not shown any special expressions.

However, upon knowing that there was going to be a fight between Tian Yi and Fang Xingjian today, he specifically came to watch.

"Fang Xingjian's sword arts abilities are probably already number one amongst those below the Divine level." Hildebrand sighed and said, "I wonder how many moves Tian Yi can stand up against him."

Just then, Hoult suddenly appeared next to Hildebrand. He looked at Hildebrand and said, "That might not be the case."

"Hoult?" Looking at the other party's mysterious expression, Hildebrand showed a little sign of curiosity, "You're familiar with this Tian Yi?"

Hoult smiled and looked at Tian Yi, his eyes filled with admiration. "I've also witnessed Fang Xingjian's sword arts before and wanted to catch up to him. However, after knowing that he had defeated The School of Sword Arts' Supreme Chief, I knew that this person was born a genius and would become a person of great power in the future. I probably wouldn't be able to catch up to him, ever.

"But it was after I got to know Tian Yi that I finally understood what a genius amongst geniuses is. Fang Xingjian will only become a person of great power in the future, but Tian Yi's talent can really be called a legend in the path of martial arts. In the future, he'll probably be one of the strongest existences in the future."

Looking at Hoult's fervent gaze, Hildebrand rubbed his nose, shook his head and said, "Hoult, you're exaggerating. Fang Xingjian's power is something beyond your expectations."

Neither of them believed what the other said. They both shook their heads and turned their attention to the arena.

On the other side of the arena, Lilia looked coldly at Tian Yi. She snorted and said, "To think that a clown like this dares challenge Master!"

Standing next to her was Kirst's City Lord, who had rushed over to visit his daughter. He kept on trying to sense her fluctuating consciousness. It was as if she would be entering a whole new level any moment now.

Kirst's City Lord looked at her in great surprise and asked, "Lili, you're about to reach Heaven's Perception very soon?"

"It's the result of Master's guidance." At the mention of her Master, Lilia was filled with admiration. "Master's power has already reached an unbelievable stage. If he were to come today, he would probably be able to deal with this Tian Yi in a single move."

Kirst's City Lord was doubtful about this. No matter how powerful Fang Xingjian was, this Tian Yi was not a person to be underestimated. Saying that Fang Xingjian would be able to defeat Tian Yi in a single move was being far too arrogant.

However, seeing the look of admiration his daughter was wearing, he did not wish to rebut. He merely thought of how to persuade Lilia. He instinctively felt that for his daughter to be admiring a man like this was not something good.

Numerous people talked amongst themselves under the arena like this. However, Fang Xingjian had the battle result of winning against the Supreme Chief. Although Tian Yi had suddenly appeared, the opponents he had defeated were in no way comparable to the Supreme Chief.

Therefore, most of the people thought well of Fang Xingjian, especially some of the martial art factions that had been defeated by Tian Yi. Right now, as they looked at Tian Yi, their gazes were filled with delight at the misfortune of others.

Just then, Tian Yi suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with an expression of understanding.

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is...

"I understand now..."

As he mumbled to himself, at the next moment, he broke into a maniacal laughter, "As expected... I, Tian Yi, am the strongest!"

The next moment, a martial will that represented Tian Yi radiated out in all directions from where Tian Yi's body was located.

There was no wind, no movement of the air currents, no explosions.

However, everyone felt as if a violent gale had suddenly appeared, gushing toward them. It was as if the violent gale wanted to blow their bodies into pieces, tearing their consciousness into fragments.

After the violent gale passed by, everyone realized in astonishment that they could no longer control their own bodies.

The consciousness of all the people within a 1,000 meter range were all suppressed by Tian Yi. All of their bodies had been taken over by Tian Yi.

It was the same even for Governor Devitt and Head of Department James.

The next moment, everyone did the same action, and showed the same smile. That was Tian Yi controlling their physical bodies.

"Men fight for honor. Before slashing a person, one must first slash the soul. All of you mediocre people who have eyes but cannot see don't understand..."

Everyone's faces revealed the same rejoice and excitement. That was all the rejoice and excitement Tian Yi felt when his Stalwart Eidolon Conviction once again attained another breakthrough.

After Tian Yi had swept through the entire Great Western City and gotten his hands on a portion of the Divine level profoundness, his acknowledgement of himself being number one in the world grew increasingly rooted, and this unique set of Waves of his had now gone through yet another breakthrough. This caused his martial will to become unbelievably powerful, even allowing him to take control over everyone's bodies with a single thought, as long as they were within a 1,000 meter range from him.

"... You guys don't understand that the will is the most important thing. The physical body is but a tool.

"As long as I'm willing, my spirit will be able to live on. Even without a physical body, even if my body has been torn into pieces, as long as my spirit and my will still exists, I can continue to exist. I will even be able to rob others of their bodies.

"It doesn't matter how strong one becomes in other areas. Everything else is merely a bunch of worldly possessions."

The next moment, everyone felt that their bodies seemed to have returned to their control.

However, no one said a word, no one made a move. Everyone looked at Tian Yi, who was in the arena, with a look of horror. Recalling the technique the other party had just displayed earlier, their hearts were filled with endless terror.

'Such marvellous skills...' Governor Devitt's countenance was very grim. However, even after he kept recalling the process in which his body had been controlled, he had no idea how the other party did it.

Hildebrand looked at Tian Yi in a daze. Behind him, Hoult sighed, "Did you see that? This is Tian Yi. I've never seen another person with his talent in my entire life. Compared to the talent Fang Xingjian had shown in sword arts, Tian Yi's comprehension is the true path of Man and heaven. It's a path toward Divine level which no one has ever taken before."

Lilia's, Kirst's City Lord's, and Head of Department James' countenances changed drastically. They all looked at Tian Yi as if they were looking at a monster.

This was the scene Zhou Xingwen saw when he arrived. He frowned, but did not pay it much heed. Holding onto Fang Xingjian's letter, he merely entered under everyone's astonished gazes, walking toward Tian Yi's.

Chapter 477: No Choice But To Submit

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Looking at the gazes everyone was casting in his direction, Zhou Xingwen said calmly, "Xingjian is training in seclusion and won't be coming. However, he has prepared a letter for you."

"Oh? Has he surrendered?" Hearing this, Tian Yi only felt that it was a matter of fact. He felt that he was the one who was the strongest in the world and it was impossible for Fang Xingjian to win against him. What else could he do but to surrender?

However, this did not matter to Tian Yi and he said, "I had initially heard that Fang Xingjian is the best swordsman in the Great Western Region and wanted to have a spar with him so as to corroborate my cultivation path.

"However, I've already attained a new breakthrough. Even if he were to come and fight it out with me, it would be rather insipid. It no longer matters if we fight or not."

Hearing that Fang Xingjian had not even dared to come, everyone's gazes were filled with astonishment. To them, Fang Xingjian entering into seclusion for his training was merely an excuse.

The other party had already come knocking on the door to issue a challenge, yet he did not even come forth to accept it. This was as if he was saying that he would be throwing all of his reputation and status away.

Moreover, the challenger was not a nobody. It was Tian Yi, the person who had defeated almost the entire Great Western City.

To everyone, Fang Xingjian seemed to have chosen to avoid the battle.

Hildebrand looked at this scene in disbelief. To think that Fang Xingjian, whom he had thought of as being extremely powerful, and who was equipped with unfathomable sword arts, had chosen to avoid the battle. This was simply unbelievable!

Although the power which Tian Yi had displayed earlier was very intense, Hildebrand did not feel that this was something that could completely override Number 10's malevolent will. Hildebrand could not understand why Fang Xingjian would choose to avoid the battle.

Next to him, Hoult shook his head and said, "I had thought that Fang Xingjian's sword arts path was one which pushed on valiantly without turning back. I hadn't expected that there would be instances when he would feel scared."

Thinking of this, Hoult could not help but sigh, "I had thought that in this part of the Great Western Region, the two of us were the main leads. In the end Tian Yi suddenly appears and snatches away all of the grandeur."

Just as everyone thought that Fang Xingjian had decided to avoid the battle, Zhou Xingwen continued to walk toward Tian Yi and said, "I don't know what Xingjian's intentions are, but he got me to personally hand this letter to you."

"Letter? There's no need to bring it here. I have no interest in Fang Xingjian." Tian Yi shook his head and said, "My next step is to head to the Myriad Star Palace to have a discussion of the path of cultivation with the Astral Ancestor."

When everyone heard that The School of Sword Arts wanted to head to the Myriad Star Palace to discuss about the path of cultivation with the Astral Ancestor, they were all extremely astonished. Hoult also smiled and said in a loud and clear voice, "Our Myriad Star Palace is going to hold the Stellar Ceremony soon and we've invited The School of Sword Arts' previous generation's Supreme Chief, Zhan Hongchen, as well as the Ancient Path of Hell's current Sect Master, Abyss Lord. We've also invited Eight Directional Crimson Dragon's leader and all of us will be having exchanges on the cultivation paths for Knights.

"Grandmaster is also full of admiration for Brother Tian Yi's talent and thus has invited him to join us for the exchange."

Hoult's Grandmaster, the Astral Ancestor... The School of Sword Arts' previous Supreme Chief who had been training in seclusion, Master of the current Supreme Chief, Heng Tianxiao... Ancient Path of Hell's Abyss Lord... Eight Directional Crimson Dragon's leader... The four of them were among the ten Divine level experts of the Empire.

Hearing that these four characters were going to meet up and that they had even invited Tian Yi to join them for the exchange, everyone's gazes toward the latter instantly changed.

To them, Tian Yi's value was skyrocketing.

However, Zhou Xingwen seemed as if he had turned a deaf ear to all these and continued to walk toward Tian Yi. Tian Yi frowned and said, "Didn't I say that I won't be reading the letter?"

"However, Xingjian has said that I must definitely hand this letter to you personally."

Seeing how obstinate Zhou Xingwen was being, Tian Yi laughed out loud, shaking his head and said a little impatiently, "Alright, I shall see what this Fang Xingjian has written to be wanting me to read it personally."

At the same time he spoke, he moved with a flash and appeared before Zhou Xingwen. His speed was so fast that it struck terror in everyone's heart.

Then, with a flash, his left hand grabbed out toward the letter in Zhou Xingwen's hand. However, during this simple process, he came to an abrupt stop.

It was because as Tian Yi continued to reach his hand out, he kept feeling a strange pressure descending from the sky, plunging down into his heart.

It was not something actual like gravity, or a force created by someone. It was purely a mental pressure that was pressing down on Tian Yi's heart. He felt as if a great mountain was pressing down on him.

'Hmph, trying to fight me with will?'

Tian Yi condensed his consciousness and unleashed an explosive martial will, gradually dissipating that heavy feeling. However, the feeling had not disappeared for long when it increased once again as his hand got closer to the letter.

Now, Tian Yi was not the only one who could sense the weight. The people within a range of over ten meters could sense the pressure that was pressing down on their hearts.

'What a powerful will.'

Tian Yi could sense how powerful the will contained in the letter was. He did not dare to hold back anymore and unleashed all his martial will explosively as one of his hands continued to accelerate toward the letter.

This was a direct collision between Tian Yi's and Fang Xingjian's martial will across space.

The people within a 100-meter range all felt as if their hearts were beating very loudly. Ba-thump, ba-thump! Over half the people felt as if a huge mountain had pressed down on their hearts and with a loud bang, they dropped down to their knees. They could neither summon any strength at all nor could they stand up.

Tian Yi, who had received the letter, felt an even stronger feeling than the others.

If previously, it was said that there was a huge mountain pressing down on his heart, then right now, he felt as if an entire spread of mountain range was pressing down on him.

Tian Yi's body continued to tremble and and sweat continued to form on his forehead as his body moved downward inch by inch, as if he was going to drop to his knees.

"You want me to kneel down to you?

"It'd be impossible even if you were to come here personally, let alone when it's just a letter."

The Stalwart Eidolon Conviction was something that would become more powerful the more obstinate a person was. Not only did the pressure coming from Fang Xingjian's letter not crush Tian Yi, it even stimulated his arrogance. Tian Yi's martial will grew increasingly stronger until it reached 120%, allowing himi to forcibly straighten his posture as the Stalwart Eidolon Conviction went against that heavy weight in his heart.

After forcing himself to hold up against Fang Xingjian's willpower impact, Tian Yi exhaled and sneered as he looked at the letter before him.

Next his fingers moved and his opened up the envelope, bringing out the letters.

The letter was empty, with one line of words written on it with a sword's tip.

'No choice but to submit!'

With an explosive boom , as the words entered his eyes, an absolutely immense pressure lunged toward him. This was not a power that would affect the material world, but purely the clash of martial will, an attack of information currents.

If previously it had been a mountain range, right now it felt as if the entire ground was crushing him.

Tian Yi bellowed furiously, but his body continued to get nearer and nearer to the ground. However, just as his knees were just an inch away from the ground, he forcibly came to a stop.

Gritting his teeth tightly, the muscles throughout Tian Yi's body trembled crazily as his willpower was brought up to 140% under the crazy reinforcement from the Stalwart Eidolon Conviction.

Roar!!!

Tian Yi furiously tore up Fang Xingjian's letter into pieces.

However, despite having done so, the pressure had not been reduced in the least.

Countless sword light rays flashed and moved about to and fro in the spot where the letter had disappeared. The sword light formed the same exact words in the air, lighting up the area within a 1,000-meter radius.

A terrifying pressure came gushing forth. If the pressure from earlier had been from a mound, from a mountain range, from the ground itself, right now, the gushing pressure that came from the words formed by the sword light felt as if the entire sky had come crashing down.

One could cause mountain ranges and the ground to explode and shatter, but what could one do when the entire sky came crashing down?

"Ahhh!"

With an agonizing cry, Tian Yi knelt to the ground, blood flowing from his seven apertures. At the same time, as the words in the sky soared in the air, sounds of explosions rang out incessantly. Bang bang bang bang! Rows of people dropped to their knees. In a mere few seconds, everyone who had come to watch the battle, regardless of their gender or age, had dropped kneeling to the ground. Only Zhou Xingwen, who had brought the letter, remained standing in the center of everything. However, judging from his gaze, Zhou Xingwen was already in a daze.

Afar, Hoult had also dropped to his knees as he looked at the big words written out in the sky. "No choice but to submit?" In that instant, he only felt as if his body had been pierced by countless sharp swords, while his face had turned extremely pale from the pain.

The entire area around the arena fell extremely silent, the big words lighting up the sky. Tian Yi looked at the words, his eyes bloodshot, his face filled with extreme embarrassment and fury. Again, he bellowed furiously, wanting to get up to his feet. However, no matter what he did, no matter how much he sent his martial will gushing forth explosively, he seemed to have been firmly pressed down by the collapsed sky. That tremendous mental pressure had made his body unable to move even a single inch, let alone stand up.

Such a mental blow was extremely destructive even to an ordinary person, not to mention a person like Tian Yi, who had cultivated the Stalwart Eidolon Conviction.

As he let out a heart-wrenching cry, in agony, Tian Yi's eyes were suddenly shrouded in darkness and he fell unconscious.

On this day, countless people in Great Western City could only kneel down and bow in submission when faced with that undefiable and indomitable terrifying sword intent.

Chapter 478: Setting Off

From this action alone, no one else in Great Western City, or even across the Great Western Region, would dare to challenge Fang Xingjian anymore.

As for Tian Yi, the challenger, he had already disappeared without a trace by the time people remembered him. No one knew where he had gone.

Anderson had not even attended the battle at the arena. It was not because he knew that Fang Xingjian had no plans to be present for the challenge, but rather, it was because he knew that it was impossible for the person called Tian Yi to be a match for Fang Xingjian.

Right now, Fang Xingjian, having gone through three consecutive days of training in seclusion, had already successfully synthesized all of his sword techniques together, and his cultivation was unfathomable.

Anderson stood outside the training room only to discover that he was unable to get close. It was because with every step he moved nearer, he would feel pain in his mind as if there were needles piercing him. It was as if countless swords were stirring in his consciousness.

The closer he got, the stronger this feeling got. He had reached his limits by the time he got to his current position, which was ten meters away.

'Is 10 meters already my limit?' A hint of disappointment flashed on Anderson's face. However, that disappointment soon turned into determination as he sat down and slowly trained his martial will through the endless impacts coming from Fang Xingjian's sword intent.

He had been doing this for three consecutive days and it was through this repeated training that he could truly understand how powerful Fang Xingjian was.

In the Sacred Land, three figures were sitting cross-legged.

One of them was a lady with a sexy figure and a fair complexion. She looked at the two people in front of her with a solemn countenance.

Out of the two who were seated cross-legged opposite her, one was wearing a gray robe and had an effeminate appearance. Gray light was bursting from his eyes, which were filled with malevolent will, eeriness, and brutality.

The other person was dressed in white, his eyes extremely nonchalant. It was as if there were no emotions left in his heart. However, if one were to take a closer look, they would be able to sense that endless sword light seemed to be flashing in his eyes.

The man dressed in white was of course, Fang Xingjian, who had been training in seclusion for three days, and had finally merged all of his sword techniques together. For the past three days, he had not been doing anything except fully focusing on merging all of his sword techniques into one extraordinary sword technique. It was named the Four God-Slaying Swords.

This was not all. For these three days, he had also been exchanging cultivation experience and principles with Fang Qian and Tyrant. Through this, he had gained a deeper understanding of cultivation.

After all, the three of them were each geniuses of their respective cultivation methods, namely the path of Knights, magic prints, and black magic. All of them had reached the pinnacle of level 29 and had a deep understanding of each of their cultivation paths. Through the exchange, each of them benefited a lot.

"Four God-Slaying Swords... Four God-Slaying Swords..." Fang Qian looked at Fang Xingjian with a grim countenance and said, "Before slashing the person, one must first slash the spirit. It's true that the potential of one's will is even more powerful than that of the physical body. It's because the will isn't restricted by the material world.

"Your Four God-Slaying Swords is a technique with the intention of slashing a person's soul directly, with the intention of killing Divine level experts."

"That's right," Fang Xingjian nodded and said, "This time around, the attacks of that test subject number 10 have given me great inspiration.

"Compared to competing in physical strength, or attacking with various effects such as slashing, flames, lightning bolts, low temperatures or so on...

"Martial will, which is circulated at light speed, might actually be the strongest means of attacking.

"Right now, with a single thought, I'd be able to send the soul of an ordinary second transition Conferred Knight scattering. His consciousness would be completely eradicated and he'd enter a state of coma."

"However, the physical body is equally important." By this time, Tyrant had already completely engulfed that test subject number 13 which had attained two tiers of perfection. As he spoke, he exuded streams of aura from the 1,440 specialty seeds, and seething power was emitted from his physical body.

"The spirit is the soul of the flesh, and the flesh is the root of the spirit. For one's will to be powerful, one's body must be nourished. In order to allow the consciousness and will to continue to grow stronger, the nourishment of the physical body is indispensable." Tyrant sighed, "After engulfing this body over the past few days, I can feel the benefits one can obtain from having a powerful body more and more. With a powerful body, with great nourishment and supply, the brain is better developed, and thus, the power of one's consciousness naturally becomes even more powerful.

"There is mutual benefit and reciprocity between the two."

"That's right," Fang Qian nodded. "To attain Dark Knight, one's will must be so powerful that it can affect the material world. The same applies for the cultivation path of Knights, magic prints, and black magic. Everyone will have to take this step.

"However, Knights take the path of nourishing the body, and through attaining a breakthrough with the physical body, stimulate the breakthrough of the mind and consciousness. The instant when one strives to attain the Divine level, the power from the perfection of the physical body will gather the consciousness and turn all the power of one's vital energy and blood into the power of the will, thereby attaining a breakthrough to the Divine level."

Tyrant smiled and nodded, "And magic prints rely on reinforcements borrowed from the gods beyond the heavens. The person will continue to absorb the gods' powers, turning them into their own. As long as the body fulfills the minimum requirements and as long as it can provide sufficient nourishment to the brain, one is able to directly absorb the gods' powers and turn them into the power of the will to attain a breakthrough to the Divine level."

Fang Xingjian continued, "Black magic and magic prints are very similar. The difference is that each uses different methods to achieve 12 different types of external power. Through gaining these types of external power, one boosts their own will, finally attain a breakthrough to the Divine level."

At the end, Fang Xingjian concluded, "The path of Knights cultivates one's own power, accumulating a lot and yet unleashing very little. Although the effects might seem slow in the earlier phase, the chances of attaining a breakthrough to the Divine level would be higher.

"Magic prints and black magic on the other hand, cultivate the power of others, targeting the conversion of the power from the gods beyond the heavens into one's own. As one would be able to borrow the powers of gods from the very beginning, the initial effect would be shown very soon. However, it's extremely difficult to convert the gods' power as one's own, and thus toward the later phase, the chances of one attaining a breakthrough to the Divine level would be very low."

After three days of exchanges, all three of them had gained a deeper understanding of the different cultivation paths. As a result, they also had a clearer plan for the direction of their future cultivation.

Fang Qian looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Are you still decided on heading to the Demonic City? Although the power of magic prints and black magic don't have a direct impact on you, Divine level experts are Divine level experts after all. We don't know if they still have any other hidden means or powers."

"If I don't head to Demonic City now, my mind won't be at ease." Saying that, Fang Xingjian stood up. Sword force surged out from his body, flowing through all of his joints, nerves, and blood vessels.

There was even a hint of sword light running around his body.

Right now, Fang Xingjian's overall power had gained another tremendous improvement. Breaking through the First Prince's base had allowed his mental cultivation method to level up, reaching level 8. Furthermore, his attributes and specialties had risen once again. His sword techniques had also been merged together with the tremendous improvement. He had synthesized all of the sword techniques he could into one single technique which was named the Four God-Slaying Swords.

Out of the Four God-Slaying Swords, other than the first sword 'Rebirth' which increased one's potential and tempered the attributes, each of the other three swords were even more amazing than the ones before. All of them were born for the sake of massacres and destruction.

Right now, Fang Xingjian's attributes had become:

Name: Fang Xingjian

Age:18

Occupation: Heavenly Sword Sovereign

Level: 29

Strength: 29519

Agility: 30719

Reaction: 211

Endurance: 190

Flexibility: 190

Ether Synchronization Rate: 100%

The attributes above come into effect once the Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves are activated.

Due to Perfect Muscles, 19 in strength and agility (10% of the endurance attribute).

Skills / Techniques: Boundaries Negation, Level 40 Four God Slaying Swords, Level 12 Ether Divine Art, White Bone Divine Weapon, Heaven's Volition Sword Intent

Internal Specialties: 243

External Specialties: 8

Waves: Level 8 Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves

Mental Cultivation Method: Level 8 Universal Sword Dominance Lunisolar

Fang Xingjian looked at Fang Qian and Tyrant and said, "This time around, Tyrant will come with me. Fang Qian, you'll stay behind and help me manage the things in the Great Western Region. However, you better not be up to any tricks. Otherwise, I'll deal with you when I'm back."

As he spoke, Fang Xingjian tapped outward with a finger and an afterimage flashed on each of Tyrant's and Fang Qian's foreheads. Two streams of information currents, or rather, sword intents, had entered their minds.

Those sword intents were very powerful and condensed, just like the one in the letter which Fang Xingjian had sent Tyrant. It was something which neither Fang Qian nor Tyrant could stand up against.

Fang Qian laughed bitterly, knowing that Fang Xingjian still did not trust her. However, Tyrant smiled, as if he did not mind.

Therefore, on a day in February, leaving Fang Qian behind, Fang Xingjian and Tyrant disappeared from the Sacred Land.

Two silhouettes going at a speed several tens of times that of supersonic speed cut through the air and headed in the direction of the Western Sea.

Fang Qian understood that through this operation, Fang Xingjian would probably turn the entire Demonic City, or even the entire Earth into chaos.

Chapter 479: Old Acquaintance

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

In Demonic City, at the first floor of a luxurious condominium in the center of the city, Jessica smiled and greeted the man before her. It was a man who had golden hair and blue eyes, as well as a tall and slender figure. He was wearing an extremely expensive tailored suit. He smiled and said to Jessica, "Why, aren't you inviting me to go up and have a seat?"

Jessica's smile was like the brilliant sun. "Not today, my younger sister is around. I'll invite you over next time when she's not around."

The man smiled and teased Jessica for a little while more before entering the sports car next to them. As the engine started to run with a great roar, he left.

Watching the gradual disappearance of the sports car's tail lights, Jessica exhaled as if she had been relieved of a burden. "Phew, that's settled."

Thinking of the man's income, family background, and his magic prints abilities, Jessica broke into a satisfied smile. "Gustav isn't that bad, but is just a bit of a player."

While in a good mood, Jessica gradually entered the lift. With a height of 1.8 meters, a pair of long legs, and a head of brilliant golden long hair, she caused the security guard to gulp.

Jessica slowly arrived at the door to her place.

She had co-purchased this condominium unit together with a cousin of hers. Although they were both members of the Medici Clan, one of the Five Great Clans, both she and her cousin were considered to be a part of the declining side branch. They could be said to have no power or influence, let alone have the ability to borrow the power of their clan. The only thing they could do was make sure that no one could bully them easily.

If it had not been because of that event two years ago, it would probably have been impossible for her toco-purchase this unit with her cousin.

Furthermore, she had made consecutive advancements on the way, jumping up three positions. She was now the Deputy Chief of the prefecture's police department. Additionally, Jessica had been funded for her job transition by her workplace and was now a second transition level 29 expert.

After all, as long as magic prints Warriors had sufficient resources, they would be able to easily complete their job transition and level up. Unless the individual took the initiative to temper their attributes and specialties instead, they would just continue rising to level 29 after completing their job transition.

Jessica was, of course, not a Warrior who would put hard work into her cultivation. Therefore, after becoming the Deputy Chief and receiving funding for her job transition, she chose to go up all the way to level 29.

However, thinking back on that event two years ago still made Jessica frown slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of guilt in her eyes.

Shaking her head like she wanted to shake away all of these troubles, Jessica opened the door and said with a smile, "Mary, I'm back. Gustav sent me back. Hehe, I feel that he is infatuated with me now."

However, the moment Jessica entered the apartment, she discovered that it was completely dark. There was not even a single sound responding to her.

The instant she stepped into the apartment, all the hair on Jessica's body stood up. She felt as if she had stepped into a demon's den, and endless malevolent intent and thoughts shrouded toward her. It was as if she had just arrived at the infernal regions.

As expected of having been a police officer for many years, Jessica took in a deep breath and calmed herself. She carefully observed the situation in the room and noticed that there was a black figure sitting quietly on the sofa. The room was too dark, so she could not see who the person was. However, she saw that they seemed to be wearing a strange bangle on their wrist.

Jessica could sense that all the malevolent intents were all coming from that bangle.

Jessica said calmly, "May I ask who you are? I'm Jessica of the Medici Clan. If you've entered into my apartment by mistake, you can leave now. I'll promise not to pursue the matter."

After all, she was already a Deputy Chief and a second transition level 29 magic prints Warrior. Even if the other party was exuding an astonishing aura, she could still handle the situation calmly.

The other party said coldly, "Jessica, it has only been two years. Have you already forgotten about me?"

The moment he finished speaking, the darkness gradually dissipated and light once again filled up the entire room. It revealed Fang Xingjian, who was lying down on the sofa, and Jessica's cousin, who was sitting up very straight next to Fang Xingjian.

Seeing her cousin stare blankly at the walls, Jessica then looked at Fang Xingjian. Her countenance changed drastically, and she shouted, "Fang Xingjian! To think that it's you! Why are you..."

"Why am I not dead?" Fang Xingjian looked at Jessica with a gaze like a cat teasing a mouse. He said, "Back then, you brought me to the harbor and sold me out to the Onassis Clan's Black Devils for a few million dollars... just so that you could buy this apartment?" As he spoke, Fang Xingjian's eyes had already noticed Jessica's police uniform. Then he added, "Oh, you've been promoted? Is it also thanks to the money you got from those Black Devils?"

If Jessica was said to have turned pale with fright when she saw Fang Xingjian earlier, then in a short moment later, she had already calmed down, and there were no signs of panic on her face.

After all, the person who had come to look for her was only Fang Xingjian, a person whom she thought to have no talent, background, or access to much resources.

What Jessica felt toward Fang Xingjian was merely guilt.

She spoke up, "Fang Xingjian, I know that I let you down before. However, you should also know that with your abilities, when torn between the Fang Clan and the Onassis Clan, you wouldn't have ended up in a good plight even without me."

Saying that, she let out a sigh. Then she took out a bank card from her wallet and handed it to Fang Xingjian. "Take it. There's two million inside this card. Take it as my repayment to you. You should leave Demonic City quickly. Right now, the Fang Clan's influence in Demonic City is very strong. Once that grandmother of yours finds you, you'll be finished."

Seeing how Fang Xingjian neither moved nor spoke a word, and only looked at her with a sneer, Jessica frowned, "Do you think that it's too little?" Jessica shook her head and said, "Xingjian, stop throwing a tantrum. I know that you feel aggrieved, but this is how practical the world is. Those in power control everything. Even if you continue acting senselessly in Demonic City, you'll only be throwing your life away. Why not just leave, forget everything, and lead a good a life with these two million dollars?

"Forget about the Fang Clan and forget about the Onassis Clan. Those important characters aren't people whom we can go up against."

Hearing Jessica's words, Fang Xingjian broke into a grin.

He did not move but merely said, "I feel that with your attitude, it's better for you to kneel down first before you talk to me."

Jessica's brows twitched and was about to explode in fury. However, as Fang Xingjian said this, an extremely heavy pressure came pressing down from the sky. That mental weight came down with such great pressure that she was forced to drop to her knees. There was a bang and then many cracks appeared on the floor.

"How is that possible?!" Jessica looked at this scene in great astonishment. "I'm already a level 29 Electric Emissary. To think you're able to make me drop to my knees with just a single thought...! How on earth did you do that?!"

Fang Xingjian shook his head. "Jessica, you still don't get it? Without absolute power, how could I possibly have returned? Right now, my power isn't something which you can fathom."

Chapter 480: Questioning

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Even after hearing what Fang Xingjian said, Jessica still had not given up.

With a roar, streams of electricity flashed all over her body as she stood up, bringing along with an endless glow. She arrived before Fang Xingjian with a dash, and the streams of thunderbolts turned into an electric arc like a thunderbolt longspear. The longspear thrust out toward Fang Xingjian with a damaging prowess which seemed like it could destroy an entire street.

Although her mind was being suppressed, she could still give commands for her body to attack through the electric signals controlling the physical body. These electric signals bypassed her consciousness and directly gave the command to the neural network.

Fang Xingjian watched Jessica's thrust with slight disapproval.

'It's true that one can get into magic prints very quickly. Even someone of Jessica's aptitude can reach level 29 within two years.

'However, it's far too hard to attain the Divine level through magic prints. The number of Divine level experts across Earth can't even be compared to the number of Divine level experts in just the Empire.

'A Divine level expert can materialize one's will, even to the extent of being able to affect the material world. So what did it matter if there were several hundreds of thousands or several millions of people at level 29?'

In Miracle World, there was no need for ordinary people to take part in wars. The people at the bottom of the hierarchy involved in war would be level 19 Knights. Second transition Conferred Knights were already sufficient in contributing to the direction of the battle's results, while Divine level experts could change the results of the entire war, determining the future of history.

It could be said that when two influences clashed, only Divine level experts could go up against Divine level experts, while only those in the second transition would be able to go up against those in the second transition. This left the situation of those in the first transition to deal with the enemies in the first transition. The victories or losses between those in the first transition would not be able to affect the results of the fights between Divine level experts.

Being a notch higher would make a huge difference. The strongest were irreplaceable, and those who were higher up would affect those at the bottom. However, the reverse did not apply. As Fang Xingjian continued to grow stronger, he understood this logic better.

This meant that as long as the number of Divine level experts on Earth did not increase in multiple folds, they would not dare to make a large-scale move into Miracle World. After all, once magic prints were exposed to the rest of the world turning the people into the allies of the Mage Association, the Church of Universal Truth would probably not remain silent.

The Church of Universal Truth was an influence that had over 30 Divine level experts, including the Guardian Kings and Saints. They had the power to crush all the other forces in Miracle World.

Jessica's performance right now was just like what Fang Qian had said. The magic prints allowed one to borrow the powers from the evil gods beyond the heavens, and such power became much weaker when they were on Earth. This caused the battle prowess of the magic prints Warriors on Earth to be a far cry from their performance in the Miracle World.

However, the same applied for Knights. The density of ether particles in Demonic City seemed to be only 10% of what it was in Miracle World.

There were no changes to Fang Xingjian's physical body and will. However, the effects, such as thunderbolts, flames, and tremors, he could use during battles were over ten times weaker.

'In Demonic City, it's still the most effective to fight with one's physical body and will.'

Just as Fang Xingjian was thinking about this, Jessica's Thunderbolt Spear was already one inch away from Fang Xingjian and would be piercing his eyes at the very next moment. However, from Jessica's perspective, Fang Xingjian still seemed as if his thoughts were elsewhere and that he had yet to react to what was happening.

'Don't blame me. You only have yourself to blame for being too immature.'

Yet, at the next moment, Jessica's eyes opened wide as she looked at the scene in disbelief.

Her Thunderbolt Spear had completely pierced through Fang Xingjian's eyeball, and even her finger was already touching his eyeball. However, there were no effects at all.

She felt as if she was pressing down on a steel plate that felt slightly soft. The strange touch brought along a powerful counteracting force. With a loud cry, she retrieved her palm and saw that three of her fingers were completely twisted. The bones inside them were completely broken, and even her tendons were completely torn.

Then Fang Xingjian tapped a single finger on her forehead. Jessica could only feel a powerful consciousness, in the form of a brilliantly flashing sword intent, gushing down from the crown of her head. In the blink of an eye, it had run through her entire body, seeming as if it would be able to tear her into pieces at any time now.

Jessica wanted to resist, but she felt a piercing pain in her heart, like it was being pierced by 10,000 swords. It caused her to cry out in agony as she collapsed to the ground.

From there, every time she developed a hint of resistance in her mind, the same excruciating pain would come at her in waves. It took her ten minutes before she got used to this condition, and she now no longer dared to show any more resistance.

Jessica's countenance was pale, her eyes sunken, and her forehead covered in cold sweat. She seemed as if she had just been put through a bout of serious illness. Right now, she was looking at Fang Xingjian as if she was looking at a demon.

"What did you do to me?"

"I channeled a stream of sword intent into your body. As long as you harbor the slightest hostility against me, it'll let you have a taste of agony. The longer the hostility is sustained, the greater the agony will be. It'll continue on until your hostility is completely gone." Fang Xingjian looked at Jessica coldly and said, "Now, let me ask you a few questions."

After hearing what Fang Xingjian said, Jessica's heart was drowning in terror. Right now, Fang Xingjian's power was unfathomable. This power which managed to twist her around his finger was something she had never sensed before on any magic prints Warriors.

Even Demonic City's Chief of the Police Department did not seem to hold such power.

Fang Xingjian asked, "How's the situation in the Fang Clan right now? Where is Li Shuanghua?"

"Ever since your younger cousin was accepted as a disciple by the Black Mage King, the Fang Clan has grown to be very influential. They borrowed the reputation of the Black Mage King to expand continuously, and now they have risen to being third amongst the Five Great Clans from their previous fifth position." Jessica continued on, "But as for news on Li Shuanghua... She's a Divine level expert, a top notch existence in Demonic City. How could I possibly know where she is? All I know is that she hasn't appeared in public for a few months now."

"It's been a few months?" Fang Xingjian started thinking to himself. Li Shuanghua had probably started the preparations to forge the Divine Remains Equipment from a few months ago and had now gone into hiding.

His greatest worry was that Li Shuanghua had headed to Miracle World. Miracle World was very big, and it would be very hard for him to find her. If all else did not work, he could only try to lure her out. If that were to happen, he would have to face Li Shuanghua and her allies head-on, and that was Fang Xingjian's last resort.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Jessica looked at Fang Xingjian, who said, "Why are you looking at me. Someone's at the door, so you should go and check it out."

Jessica stood up, trembling. She felt as if her four limbs were all very weak and achy. It was all due to the tremendous pain she had experienced earlier.

Switching on digital door viewer, a man wearing a suit appeared on the screen. It was Gustav, the man who had just left on his sports car.

Gustav said, "Jessica? You forgot your wallet with me earlier. Let me bring it up to you."

Jessica was just about to say something when a voice rang out in her mind. It was Fang Xingjian's voice.

"Who is he?"

"The matter between us doesn't concern him... Ahhh..."

The pain happened for one-thousandth of a second, causing Jessica to let out a stifled snort. Gustav asked puzzledly, "What's wrong? Jessica?"

Jessica shook her head and forced a smile, "It's nothing. I slipped a little."

Simultaneously, she sighed and replied to Fang Xingjian in her mind, "He's from the Dupont Clan."

"Oh? The Dupont Clan from the White Hawk Country?"

"That's the one."

Fang Xingjian smiled and said, "You're quite good at getting yourself a rich partner."

Right now, the most influential clans on Earth were clearly the Five Great Clans that had Divine level experts. They formed the Earth's Federation with the governments of various countries. Earth's Federation could be said to be the strongest influence on Earth.

There were of course still many perennial influences under the Five Great Clans that existed on Earth, as well as newly formed clans that had risen with the appearance of Demonic City.

The White Hawk Country's Dupont Clan was one of the perennial clans on Earth, and their wealth was comparable to that of a country. They had an extensive network of connections and were influential both in the military and political worlds.

Even the Five Great Clans, which had Divine level experts, could only suppress them. They could not recklessly try to kill them, otherwise, it would bring about an agitated backlash, and a world war would probably occur. It could even develop into a nuclear war.

Looking at Gustav, who was reflected in the screen, Fang Xingjian nodded slightly. He seemed to have thought of something.

"Someone from Dupont Clan... He can be useful."

The exchange between the two through their consciousness only went on for a short moment. Gustav smiled and asked, "How about it? You don't welcome me?"

Fang Xingjian's voice rang out in Jessica's mind concurrently, "Let him come up."

Jessica let out an inward sigh and pressed the button.

Two minutes later, Gustav had already arrived outside her door. Jessica opened the door and threw him a helpless glance.

Gustav smiled and entered. However, it was not been long until the smile completely disappeared from his gaze. His gaze passed by Jessica and landed on Fang Xingjian, who was seated casually on the sofa. Gustav frowned, and a hint of cold light flashed in his eyes.

Chapter 481: Invitation

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

"Jessica, who is this guy?"

Gustav was a descendant from the main branch of the Dupont Clan. Although he was not one of the top five successors in line, he was still considered to have a rich supply of resources. He was one of the core powers of the clan and had received elite-level nurturing since young.

Recently, Gustav had really taken a liking to Jessica. Therefore, when he saw that a man had appeared at Jessica's place, he was extremely unhappy.

Fang Xingjian smiled slightly, and as his finger curled up, a slight breeze blew. Then the door behind Gustav closed shut.

Gustav did not think much about it. As a member of the Dupont Clan's upper echelon, he had access to a rich supply of resources. Not only had he been staying in Demonic City for a very long time, he had also long since reached level 29. However, as a young man like himself who was from a great clan, especially a clan which had a long history of aristocrats from the White Hawk Country, he had never thought that there would ever be a need for him to personally take action.

He looked at Fang Xingjian with an air of superiority, shook his head, and said, "Forget it, I don't care who you are either. Scram from this room within a minute and I'll take it that nothing has happened."

Hearing this, the first person to turn pale was Jessica. From the earlier exchange they had earlier, she understood clearly just how terrifying Fang Xingjian was. Moreover, if anything were to happen to Gustav here, the Dupont Clan would not let her off so easily.

Jessica said, "Xingjian, on the account of our many years of friendship, let him go this once."

That line was extremely hurtful to a man's pride, especially for a proud person like Gustav.

Gustav glared at Jessica and said, "Jessica, do you know what you're saying?"

"Gustav, don't say anything for now."

"You b*stard! Get out of this place immediately..."

"Shut up..."

"For this gigolo, you..."

"I beg of you, don't say anymore. Xingjian, he's from the Dupont Clan. Please think this through."

"Haha, great. You want to help this gigolo so much?"

"Gustav, I'm trying to help you..."

"Shut up..."

Just as the Jessica and Gustav were starting to get into a fight, Fang Xingjian said nonchalantly, "The Dupont Clan is quite amazing, but I'm also a member of the Fang Clan. It's impossible for me to be leaving just like that.

"Moreover, just from what you said earlier, I must take at least one of your arms today."

"Take one of my arms?" Gustav's brows furrowed as he said coldly, "From the Fang Clan? I just paid a visit to the Fang Clan a few months ago, but I didn't see you then."

As expected, Gustav knew of the Fang Clan. Fang Xingjian rubbed his fingers and said calmly, "Oh? Is that so? I wasn't around a few months ago. That might be why I didn't see you."

"Hmph, the Fang Clan right?" Gustav took out his cellphone and said, "I'll call the Fang Can, the vice president of the Tianzhu Group, right now. She's an important character of the Fang Clan. I shall see if she recognizes you."

Fang Xingjian smiled slightly. Gustav was being even more cooperative than Fang Xingjian had expected.

Fang Can was a member of the Fang Clan's branch. Being the vice president of the Tianzhu Group, a company under Fang Clan, Fang Can was also one of the people with actual power in the Fang Clan

A few months back, Gustav had followed his grandfather to pay a visit to the Fang Clan, and he had even met Old Granny Fang herself. However, he had not met Fang Xingjian. Therefore, Gustav knew that Fang Xingjian was probably a nobody in the Fang Clan. This made Gustav want to make use of his connections to get Fang Can to come and teach Fang Xingjian a lesson personally. This was how a member of a clan with a long history would do things. They would not do things personally but exert pressure on others instead.

This was especially when Fang Can recently had a favor to ask of him in their businesses. She had been very respectful toward him, so this was a good chance to make use of her.

"Is this Fang Can? I'm Gustav. I've met a lad claiming to be a member of the Fang Clan, and he wants one of my arms. Do you want to come over and take a look?"

After hanging up the call, Gustav threw a sideward glance toward Fang Xingjian, as if wanting to see Fang Xingjian in a state of panic. He knew that the Fang Clan had strict regulations, and the seniors had complete control of the juniors, even in terms of their marriages and future paths.

The Dupont Clan was a great clan with a long history. They had paid the Fang Clan a visit a few months back so that they could establish a cooperation with the Fang Clan. The Dupont Clan had invested a tremendous amount of capital into the Fang Clan and could be said to be Fang Clan's God of Wealth.

Fang Can had been given the order to be a good host to Gustav. So, given that there was another matter they needed Gustav's help on recently, she immediately rushed over after the call.

20 minutes later, a lady with a mediocre figure and golden eyes appeared. She was dressed in a female suit, just like a westernized female elite. "Gustav, are you alright? I shall see which junior is spouting nonsense here. The Dupont Clan is just like a sibling of our Fang Clan. I definitely won't allow something like this to happen."

Gustav smiled coldly and looked at Fang Xingjian. Jessica appeared to be extremely anxious and felt that things were getting increasingly out of hand. However, she was completely suppressed by Fang Xingjian's sword intent and could not say a single word.

After Fang Can finished speaking, she first nodded at Gustav and then looked at Fang Xingjian. Fang Can broke into a look of great astonishment. "Xingjian! To think that it's you!"

Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Long time no see, Aunt Can. I don't wish to alert Li Shuanghua, that old lady, so I can only invite someone over like this." The people from the main branch of the Fang Clan were the only ones who could stay in the manor, but Fang Xingjian had also met the people from the side branch during gatherings.

Fang Can's expression stiffened and said, "Do you know how long we've been looking for you? Why have you only returned now? Do you still take the clan's regulations into consideration?"

Cold light gleamed in Fang Xingjian's eyes. "Looking for me? To get me to be Fang Xingchen's apostle? Do you think that something like this is the right thing to do?"

Fang Can frowned and said, "Xingjian, the clan brought you up, providing you with food and shelter. Of course, you have to repay the clan. This is what's right and proper. Which long-lasting clan doesn't do this?

"Moreover, although your status might not seem that good as an apostle, you'll be able to share the power of black magic with Xingchen. Although it's easier for one to pick up magic prints than black magic, only when one grasps black magic will they then be able to become a top notch expert. What's bad about that?"

Fang Xingjian smiled coldly while saying, "So, that means you'll be bringing me back?"

Fang Can sighed and said, "Come back with me. The clan's head is your grandmother after all. She won't mean you any ill will."

With that, she took a step back and appeared before Fang Xingjian as if she had teleported. She brought along a series of atmospheric tornadoes, grabbing toward Fang Xingjian's shoulder with her palm.

However, at the next moment, streams of sword intent soared into the air. Fang Can, Gustav, and Jessica were all sent flying and crying out in agony.

Then beams of sword light flashed on their bodies, sending blood spurting out. All three of them dropped to the ground, having sustained heavy injuries.

Jessica was considered to have been prepared for this, but Gustav was completely shocked by the scene before him. He had never expected that this gigolo would be able to defeat the three of them with a single move. What kind of power was this? What kind of means did he use?

Half-kneeling on the ground, Fang Can looked at Fang Xingjian in disbelief and said, "Xingjian, this is the martial techniques of Knights. You've transitioned into a Conferred Knight in Miracle World?"

"That's right. I've become a Demigod with one tier of perfection. The reason I'm back this time around is to take back my mother's corpse from Li Shuanghua." WIth that, he looked at Fang Can and said, "Where is Li Shuanghua and my mother's corpse?"

Hearing that Fang Xingjian had attained Demigod with one tier of perfection, Jessica did not say anything. However, Gustav and Fang Can both drew in gasps of cold air.

The two of them both held power in their respective clans and had even been to Miracle World before. Therefore, they knew what the path of Knights was, as well as how it was over 100 times harder for Knights to level-up in comparison to magic prints Warriors. They also knew how powerful a Demigod with one tier of perfection was.

Fang Can, in particular, could not understand how Fang Xingjian could have reached this level in a mere two years' time.

Chapter 482: Plans and A Gathering

Right now, Gustav's gaze was completely filled with terror and regret. He would never have thought that the person he was up against was actually a Demigod who had reached one tier of perfection. Moreover, this person was just right before him.

Streams of sword intent continued to move about in his mind, causing him to feel a constant piercing pain throughout his body at all times.

He first turned toward Fang Can and asked, "Fang Can, this person is really a member of your Fang Clan? Who is he?"

Fang Can smiled bitterly and said, "He's the grandchild of the clan head, Fang Xingjian. He's also the son Miss Yueru's son."

"Fang Xingjian?" Gustav had heard before that there was an eldest grandson in the Fang Clan by the name of Fang Xingjian. He was an ordinary person with mediocre talent and was not treated in high regard. Two years ago, he had run away from home and disappeared. No one had expected him to have become a Demigod and even returned with killing intent.

Gustav looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Sir, I really didn't know of your identity before this. I hold your power in great respect and awe, and I hope to receive your forgiveness for my impulsiveness this once. I'll definitely make it up to you after this."

"I said earlier..." Faced with Gustav's plead for forgiveness, Fang Xingjian said nonchalantly, "That because of your rudeness, I'll have to take at least one of your arms. With the powers of the Dupont Clan, it's nothing to reconnect back an arm."

Gustav still wanted to plead further, but suddenly, he stared at his right hand with eyes agape.

Under everyone's astonished gazes, Gustav's right arm had already disappeared before anyone knew what had happened. Blood was spurting out furiously from the wound at his shoulder, and Gustav rolled onto the floor, crying out in agony. He no longer carried the disposition of a member of a great clan.

As one of the successors of a clan with such a long history, he had always been a person who had everything brought before him. Having been pushed to level 29 through the use of resources, he had not even experienced a battle of life and death before. So, how could he possibly bear the pain of losing an arm? In the blink of an eye, he fainted from the immense pain.

After all, magic prints Warriors relied on the power of magic prints. They did not go through so many realms, and they were not equipped with as many abilities as Knights were. Even at level 29, not all magic prints Warriors were equipped with the ability to regenerate. If Gustav continued to be in a coma, he would probably die from the loss of blood directly.

The desperation in Jessica's eyes grew even stronger. With what she had done to Fang Xingjian previously, she could not even begin to imagine how he would take his revenge on her.

At the next moment, Fang Xingjian looked toward Jessica and said, "The person that I'm looking for is already here. Right now, I'm going to kill you. What more do you have to say?"

"I..." Jessica suddenly dropped down to her knees and went into a daze for a while. Her tears were like a kite which had broke off from its string, flowing down endlessly without restraint. Under the terror of impending death, her mind was completely blank, seemingly unable to think of anything.

When Fang Xingjian shook his head and was about to take action, Jessica suddenly screamed out, "Wait! Wait a minute! You're looking for Caroline, right? Back then, she was the one who came looking for me and got me to betray you. You want to seek revenge from her, right?

"Right now, she has already entered a secret department of the Federation, and you won't be able to get to her so easily. However, there's still a secret channel between us, and I can help you to look for her!"

As she spoke, Jessica could not hold it in and began crying. Simultaneously, she kept her eyes on Fang Xingjian with an expectant gaze.

"Caroline..." Fang Xingjian smiled. However, at the next moment, his entire face seemed to be covered in endless frost. "I don't need your help to look for her. I'll wipe out the entire Onassis Clan.

"However, you can stay alive for a little longer and wait to watch the show."

At the next moment, Tyrant, who was in the form of a bangle, transformed and turned into a huge python that was over one meter wide. He swallowed up Jessica entirely.

The huge python then turned back into a bangle and returned to Fang Xingjian's hand. However, there was now another face on the surface of the bangle.

On a closer look, one would be able to tell that it was Jessica's face, which had shrunk many times over. Her eyes blinked, and there was desperation in them.

Fang Xingjian instructed Tyrant, "Let her stay alive for now. I want her to see for herself how wrong her decision was back then."

Fang Xingjian then turned to look toward Fang Can.

Fang Can had long since been dumbfounded by the power and series of brutal means Fang Xingjian had displayed. When she saw Fang Xingjian's gaze turn toward her, she could not help but tremble a little and say, "Xingjian, we're kin of the same blood. You can't possible want to kill me?"

"Kill you? You think that I only want to kill you?" Killing intent surged in Fang Xingjian's eyes as he said, "That old demoness Li Shuanghua is heartless and vicious. She killed my mother and wanted me to be a slave for her grandchild for life.

"Doesn't she hope to see the Fang Clan in prosperity? Then I shall have the entire Fang Clan spurn her right before her eyes. I want to see her get betrayed and cast aside by the entire Fang Clan. Then I'll have her kneel down before my mother's corpse, kowtowing to admit her wrongdoings. I want to let her know that she has done wrong."

Fang Can shook her head and smiled while saying, "That's impossible. Xingjian, do you understand that the clan head is a Divine level expert? You won't be able to win against her.

"Listen to my advice. Leave Demonic City right now and return to Miracle World. I'll help you cover up today's matters, so the clan head won't come after you. You'll be able to live the rest of your life in peace."

Hearing that, Fang Xingjian merely looked coldly at Fang Can like he was looking at an idiot.

"Do you think that I'm an idiot? Or are you the idiot? Having returned to Demonic City this time around, I won't give in unless I die." Powerful killing intent gathered in Fang Xingjian's heart. Tyrant, who had turned into a bangle, was secretly astonished. Despite Fang Xingjian's calm appearance, an agitated emotion, which was like a great surging sea, had seemed to be brewing in his heart ever since he returned to his hometown.

Fang Can continued attempting to persuade him, "Xingjian, what happened 18 years ago isn't that simple. The clan head must have her own difficulties."

"Difficulties? What kind of difficulties could get her to kill her own daughter and torture her own grandson, bringing me up as if she were breeding a pig? After I was kidnapped by that group of Black Devils from the Onassis Clan, did she do anything? From the very beginning, she has never treated me as her grandson."

Seeing that Fang Can still wanted to continue, Fang Xingjian's gaze shone, and sword light seemed to gush forth. Then Fang Can's two arms were slashed off immediately.

Fang Can's countenance was very pale. She appeared very weak as she smiled bitterly and said, "Then what do you want? Let me tell you first, if you want me to help you deal with the clan head, I'd rather die right now. Otherwise, my whole family will have to die."

"Of course, I don't hold any expectations of bringing you to deal with that old demoness." Fang Xingjian said calmly, "There should be a clan gathering for the Fang Clan soon, right? I want you to tell me where it is and bring me there."

A great clan like Fang Clan would have a gathering once a month. The gathering served to maintain the cohesion within the clan and also to sum up the clan's situation for the past month.

Hearing that Fang Xingjian was so foolish as to want to head to the clan's gathering directly, Fang Can regained some spirit. A hope of being able to survive this lit up in her eyes.

She said, "No problem. I can bring you to the location of the gathering. It's tomorrow night. When the time comes, I can even bring you in directly, and you'll be able to meet the clan head. At that time, you'll be able to confront the clan head for the cause of Yueru's death personally."

How could Fang Xingjian not tell what Fang Can was thinking? He merely chose not to expose her. Sword intent flashed in his eyes as his killing intent was gradually held back.

Chapter 483: Entrance

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Xingjian's mishap from two years ago had first arisen due to his grandmother, Li Shuanghua, forcing him to run away from home. Then he had later been betrayed by Jessica, resulting in him falling into the hands of the female Black Devil, Caroline. Caroline was the one who had tortured him the most, for a total of seven days and seven nights.

However, during the entire event, the person whom Fang Xingjian hated the most was still his grandmother.

She had killed his mother and had not given him cultivation resources. Additionally, she had tried to force him into becoming Fang Xingchen's apostle, and she had also been aloof and indifferent to him when he got kidnapped at the end... All these had caused him to be utterly disappointment in this grandmother of his.

Moreover, this time around, she was planning on using his mother's remains to forge Divine Remains Equipment. Therefore, his first target right now was Li Shuanghua. The female Black Devil, Caroline, as well as the other members of the Onassis Clan who had plotted to kidnap him were prioritized below Li Shuanghua.

Therefore, one day later, Fang Xingjian followed Fang Can to a huge manor and then entered it.

This manor belonging to the Fang Clan was not big, but there was a pavilion at every five steps and a sentry at every ten steps. All of them were guards which the Fang Clan had nurtured to take on the esoteric first transition jobs of becoming Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers.

These powerful level 19 Warriors each had the speed to match a sports car, and they could smash a wall with a punch. Equipped with battle clothes, high frequency blades, and electromagnetic rifles, they had the power to wipe out any army on Earth.

If a troop like this were brought back to 30 years ago, just a small team of ten would be able to take over an entire country. Yet right now, they could only work as guards for the Fang Clan.

In the meeting room located at the second story of the manor, there were over ten important members of the Fang Clan from various departments, organizations, and companies, as well as the political and military world.

As one of the Five Great Clans in the Demonic City, the Fang Clan had the support of a Divine level expert and their influence had long reached various sectors of the Demonic City, Xin Country, and Earth.

The two people sitting at the very front were Fang Xingjian's second uncle, Fang Yuehe, and his third uncle, Fang Yueming.

Second Uncle Fang Yuehe said, "Yueming, what did you mean by your actions last month? Vennesy Company had already started to get in touch with us for cooperation. Why did you still send people to deal with them?

"Their president jumped off a building and committed suicide last week, his wife died of lung cancer, and his daughter has gone missing. You can't tell me that all these don't have any relation to you."

Third Uncle Fang Yueming laughed. Wearing a shameless expression, he said impatiently, "Second Brother, they're just a crappy company. We asked them to hand over their patent, yet they were acting so smug and giving us such a ridiculous price. So, I got someone to teach them a lesson and managed to get their patent and shares without spending a single cent. What else are you unhappy about?"

Hearing what Third Uncle Fang Yueming said, many members of Fang Clan's upper echelon frowned inwardly, but they did not dare rebuke him.

This was because Third Uncle Fang Yueming had gained great power thanks to his son, Fang Xingchen. After Fang Xingchen was appraised as having the talent of being a Mage and even became the Black Mage King's successor, Fang Yueming's status in the clan rose rapidly.

In particular, as Fang Xingchen was doted on by Old Granny Li Shuanghua, everyone knew that the next clan head would probably be Fang Yueming's son. So, who else would still dare to go up against Fang Yueming?

Second Uncle Fang Yuehe's talent was not bad, and he was also quite good in handling matters, having done a good job in managing the clan's countless organizations. However, the fact that he still did not have a son after so many years of marriage was his greatest weakness.

When Second Uncle Fang Yuehe saw Fang Yueming's smug look, he was infuriated. However, there was nothing that he could do about it. He could only try to persuade Fang Yueming, "Third Brother, since when is our Fang Clan short of that bit of money? With the way that you're doing things, you're throwing away our Fang Clan's reputation. In the future, who else would dare to work together with us?"

"Argh. Second Brother, you're so annoying!" Fang Yueming stood up and said, "I have an appointment with a few friends and will take my leave first. You can continue to chat."

"Stop right there!" Fang Yuehe bellowed furiously. "Mother isn't here yet and you're leaving? Are those bad influences of yours more important than our Fang Clan's gathering?"

"Second Brother, how can you say that? Isn't the reason I'm making so many friends for the sake of our Fang Clan?"

The other members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon wore helpless looks as they watched the two brothers get into an increasingly heated argument. They were unwilling to get themselves involved in such internal strifes of the main branch.

Just then, the door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Fang Can walked in slowly with Fang Xingjian right behind her.

When Second Uncle Fang Yuehe turned to see Fang Can, he let out a cold snort and said, "Fang Can, why are you so late? Don't you know the time for today's gathering?"

"Haha," Fang Xingjian's voice rang out from behind Fang Can. "Second Uncle, we haven't met for two years and you're speaking with such confidence now."

With Fang Xingjian's appearance, the entire hall was filled with gasps. Most of the people looked at Fang Xingjian in disbelief like they were looking at a ghost.

A minority of the people did not recognize Fang Xingjian. However, after hearing about him from the people next to them, they also looked at this young man in great surprise and curiosity.

Third Uncle Fang Yueming was the first to shout out, "You rascal! You still dare to come back?" Fang Yueming's expression was very cold as he said, "Back then, when Mother asked you to be Xingchen's apostle, how could you dare to escape?! You're extremely selfish and heartless! Do you know that because of the bloodline connection, the apostle Xingchen got later is much weaker in comparison?"

Hearing Third Uncle Fang Yueming's words, Fang Xingjian smiled. His smile was extremely brutal as he looked at Third Uncle Fang Yueming like he was looking at a dead man.

He ignored his third uncle and turned to look in his second uncle's direction.

Back then, Fang Yuehe had been the one who secretly let Fang Xingjian sneak away from the ancestral hall, giving him the chance to make his escape from Fang Clan. Otherwise, he would have become Fang Xingchen's slave for life.

After he was kidnapped by Black Devil Caroline, he was told that his second uncle had done this to weaken Fang Xingchen's power. It was so that Fang Yuehe himself would have a greater chance to fight for the position of clan head in the future.

However, regardless of whether what Caroline said was true, it was a fact that his second uncle had saved him.

Fang Xingjian said, "Second Uncle, I have returned today primarily for two reasons. Firstly, I want to take back my mother's remains. Secondly, I want to ask Li Shuanghua why she killed my mother back then."

Fang Xingjian's words once again astonished everyone present, and it was as if their eyes were going to pop out. Neither Fang Xingjian's second uncle nor his third uncle had expected Fang Xingjian to be so direct, saying such things before so many people.

Back then, it had been announced to the public that Fang Xingjian's mother, Fang Yueru, had died of difficult labor. So, Fang Xingjian's words immediately caused a commotion to break out in the meeting room.

Many eyes lit up. The people seemed to be gloating over the misfortune of others and were waiting to watch a good show. When these people from the side branch saw this drama breaking out amongst the people from the main branch, they were more than happy to watch the action.

Second Uncle Fang Yuehe frowned. There seemed to be a deep sense of loneliness in his eyes. "Xingjian, I know that you're feeling very bitter about these matters, but this isn't how you should be doing things."

Fang Yuehe then let out a long sigh, "You shouldn't have came back."

"You little rascal! Since when did you get the rights to utter nonsense here?!" Third Uncle Fang Yueming let out a cold snort and said, "Seize him!" Fang Yueming then turned toward Second Uncle Fang Yuehe and said, "Second Brother, regarding the matter of you letting Xingjian go, i'll slowly settle the score with you when Mother is back."

Over ten Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers charged in, all of them pointing their electromagnetic rifles at Fang Xingjian. Then two people stepped forth to seize Fang Xingjian.

Through the strong killing intent which those Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers exuded, Fang Xingjian knew that they would really shoot the moment he made any movements.

Chapter 484: Ferocious Beast

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Despite seeing that a team of Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers had dashed in and were pointing their electromagnetic rifles at him, there was not a hint of anxiety reflected on Fang Xingjian's face.

His powerful martial will, which was also his powerful sword intent, allowed him to accurately grasp the surrounding situation.

In the entire meeting room, only three people could get his slightest attention.

One of them was naturally his second uncle, Fang Yuehe.

This second uncle of his had spent his time slowly accumulating power to get stronger, Instead of being mesmerized to take the faster path through magic prints, he had spent a lot of time staying at first transition. He had been consistently tempering his physical body and will, and had only attained a breakthrough to the second transition two years ago. During the last two years, his power had soared at a rapid rate. Right now, not only was he a level 29 magic prints Warrior, but his battle prowess was one of the very best amongst those magic prints Warriors who were at the same level as him.

Fang Xingjian could sense that the diabolic energy in his second uncle's body was much greater than what others had. It was clear that his second uncle, Fang Yuehe, had already been to Miracle World before, and that he had brought back a tremendous amount of diabolic energy with him.

The second person who attracted his attention was his third uncle, Fang Yueming. Fang Yueming was also a level 29 magic prints Warrior, but he had become one through using a tremendous amount of resources. Even if a little bit of the resources which had been used on him were given to Warriors who were slightly more talented, it would have been possible to nurture ten level 29 magic prints experts.

Therefore, the thing that had really attracted Fang Xingjian's attention was not his third uncle but that faintly discernible power in him which seemed to be exuding a faint pressure.

The third person who had attracted Fang Xingjian's attention was a middle-aged man who had been sitting in a corner of the meeting room all this while. From the moment when Fang Xingjian appeared till now, this person had been keeping his eyes closed, resting as if nothing before him could pique his interest.

However, Fang Xingjian could sense that aside from himself, the martial will on this person was the strongest amongst everyone present. If the martial will of the other people could be said to be a fruit knife, then this person's martial will could be said to be a thoroughly tempered battle saber. Furthermore, this person was constantly tempering and condensing his martial will, causing it to exude a great glow when Fang Xingjian sensed with his Heaven's Perception.

Using his powerful martial will to control the situation, Fang Xingjian looked toward Third Uncle Fang Yueming and said coldly, "I'll kill whoever tries to kill me."

Third Uncle Fang Yueming spoke with disdain, "Seize him."

Two of the Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers reached out to grab Fang Xingjian's left and right shoulder respectively. However, they had only gotten one inch closer when Fang Xingjian's body moved ever so slightly, taking the initiative to knock into them.

With a tremendous boom, the battle clothes the two Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers wore, which could protect them even against grenades, were smashed into pieces. The two soldiers were sent flying out with blood spurting from all over their bodies.

At almost the same time when Fang Xingjian made his move, all the Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers fired their rifles. The electromagnetic blasts shot out bullets which traveled at ten times that of the speed of sound. Each of them was capable of penetrating through armors and even tanks.

Countless bullets encompassed Fang Xingjian's body.

The bullets hit on his body, and immediately, it seemed as if they had struck against some indestructible material. Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Endless electric sparks splattered and then reflected out, causing the people in the room to retreat rapidly.

"What?!"

'How can this be?"

"Several hundred bullets that can penetrate armors at ten times that of the speed of sound... Even a stronghold would be crushed. Yet to think that he's able to forcible force them off?!"

Just as everyone was shocked speechless, Fang Xingjian moved.

In that instant, his entire silhouette dissipated and became extremely wispy, charging toward the Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers like a gust of smoke. Then he continued to throw out punches with the most primitive and brutal sheer force which was filled with endless evil and viciousness.

It was like a super meat grinder. Flesh and blood were suddenly sent flying all over in that instant, and all the Black-Crystal Armored Soldier were torn into tiny pieces.

"How bold!"

In almost the same instant when Fang Xingjian dashed into the crowd and crushed all the Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers, the middle-aged man who had kept his eyes closed all this while made his move.

At the moment he moved, he was like a divine dragon from beyond the heavens, appearing behind Fang Xingjian with a flash. His two fists flashed with starlight for a while before his countless punches struck Fang Xingjian's body.

Each of his punches carried an astonishing martial will. Then it was as if that with every punch on Fang Xingjian's body, the people in the surroundings felt as if their heart leaped strongly. After over ten punches, all of them were feeling faint and wondered if their hearts would explode.

This was the middle-aged man's renowned martial arts, the Soul Shaking Fist.

In each punch,the explosive force from his physical body was secondary. The most important component was the overwhelming martial will contained in them. They would shake the hearts of people and destroy the opponent mentally.

It was said that he had once fought against over ten assassins who were wearing armor. Each of his punches was shocking. So, after only 20 punches, although all of the armored warriors appeared to be without a single injury, all of them had died due to having their hearts explode.

This time around, the middle-aged man had gone at full power toward Fang Xingjian. Fang Xingjian's body stiffened with every punch, as if he was badly shaken by the man's martial will to the extent that he could not move.

After a total of 108 punches with the Soul Shaking Fist, the middle-aged man's countenance was pale, and there seemed to be cold sweat emerging on his forehead. It was apparent that his martial will was depleted by quite a lot.

Looking at Fang Xingjian whose body had stiffened and was no longer moving, the middle-aged man let out a cold laugh and said, "For you to just be practicing martial arts but not the mind... what's the point even if your physical body is extremely powerful?"

An evil smile crept up the corners of Fang Xingjian's lips. "You're done?"

"What?!"

In the next instant, over 1,000 streams of mysterious aura rose up. Before the middle-aged man could react, an extremely malevolent power exploded at his chest. His entire body was forcefully torn into two pieces by Fang Xingjian, who had used two forces to tug on the left and right of the middle-aged man's body.

Strong gales gushed out in all directions from Fang Xingjian's action, sending blood spraying everywhere. Seeing this, the people in the surroundings were all horrified.

They had been in power for very long, and their levels had practically all been gained through taking in resources. When had they even encountered a fight like this up front?

"To think that even the Soul Shaking Fist was torn apart by him..."

"Fang Xingjian's body is so powerful!"

"He's just like a human-shaped beast."

Third Uncle Fang Yueming was so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot. He pointed to Fang Xingjian and scolded, "You little b*stard! How dare you choose to be a beast over being a human and killing a member of your own family?! Today, I shall teach you a good lesson on behalf of Mother! I'll let you know what it means to respect people of a higher status! I'll show you what strict regulations are like!"

However, Fang Xingjian merely threw him a glare, and Fang Yueming immediately took three steps back in fright. At the next moment, a black shadow encompassed Third Uncle Fang Yueming's body.

That was the punch which Fang Xingjian had launched out after dashing forth directly. His fist seemed to contained the most terrifying power in the world. It was like it was going to tear the world apart.

When this punch was thrown out, everyone present felt as if there was a huge and extremely ferocious and malevolent beast soaring up into the air. It was as if after letting out a furious bellow, the huge beast shattered the ground and tore the sky apart.

Everything before them turned dark, like the world had been completely destroyed and there was neither light from the sun nor the moon. Faced with this punch from Fang Xingjian, everyone present seemed to be unable to summon any will to resist. All their spirit, will, and consciousness seemed to be suppressed. Under the pressure they squeaked like they would be completely crushed at the next moment.

Chapter 485: Ferocity

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Faced with such a fierce punch, Third Uncle Fang Yueming was scared, stunned, and totally unable to unleash the power of his level 29 magic prints.

He just watched as that violent punch smashed toward him.

However, right before the fist was going to smash into Fang Yueming's head, another palm darted out to intercept with an aura which was like Nüwa patching the heavens 1 .

If it could be said that Fang Xingjian's fist was like a huge and violent beast that would wreak havoc and create chaos, even tearing the skies apart... Then this intercepting palm was like the Goddess Nüwa's act of patching up the heavens. No matter how hard one were to crush the sky, it would still be mended again.

In that instant the fist and palm came into contact, a muffled sound resonated in everyone's minds. It was as if their consciousness were completely shattered, and their minds had gone blank.

At the next moment, violent gales rose from where the two hands had collided. The shock waves sent everything in the meeting room flying outward.

When the next collision occurred, the strong gales brought about by the fist and palm sent the walls and the building itself flying. How terrifying were these physical powers?!

Fang Xingjian lifted his head and looked over. The person who could react to his punch and even managed to fend it off was, as expected, his second uncle, Fang Yuehe.

Fang Yuehe said furiously, "Xingjian, are you going to kill even your third uncle?"

"I'll kill whoever tries to kill me. There's no relation to who the person is or who is backing that person up."

With that, Fang Xingjian's body flickered and once again darted out toward Third Uncle Fang Yueming.

Second Uncle Fang Yuehe let out a furious bellow and chased after him. There was a green glow lighting up all over Fang Yuehe's body. This was the light from the magic prints power. At this moment, Second Uncle Fang Yuehe had started to activate the powers of the evil god that was from beyond the heavens.

Then at the next moment, wherever his hands passed by, the atmosphere seemed as though it had been commanded by a sovereign. It condensed and formed many huge dragons. All of them then headed toward Fang Xingjian in an attempt to bind him.

Black magic was split into 12 types. This was the same for magic prints. There were 12 different types of diabolic energy, representing powers of 12 different influences.

The green faction was different from the gray faction that summoned living creatures from an alternate world and modified living creatures. Unlike the Gray Robed Mages like Tyrant and Fang Qian's gray magic prints, the diabolic energy which green magic prints and Green Robed Mages possessed excelled in imitating and integration. The green faction's cultivators could integrate almost all the different abilities in the world.

Therefore, Green Robed Mages and green magic prints formed a faction that was said to have the least distinguishing features, yet it was also the most unique. It was because the users could perform any kind of power.

With Old Granny Fang as the head, the Fang Clan excelled the most in controlling the atmosphere. The second transition job which Second Uncle Fang Yuehe took on had also been Old Granny Fang's second transition job in the past. The job was the Heavenly Disaster Medium, which excelled in controlling the atmosphere and creating natural disasters.

It was said that this ability to control the atmosphere was something which Old Granny Fang had imitated from a Divine level ferocious beast she had encountered on her past travels in Miracle World.

At present, Fang Yuehe had created many atmospheric dragons. They stuck to Fang Xingjian's body, naturally encompassing and binding him.

Concurrently, all the people in the surroundings also had a huge atmospheric dragon wrapping around and protecting them.

Each of these atmospheric dragons condensed endless gases and contained power which was sufficient to overturn mountains and engulf great rivers.

Watching as the several hundred atmospheric dragons were trying to tear up Fang Xingjian, Second Uncle Fang Yuehe shouted, "Xingjian, give in quickly. Once my Atmospheric Dragons Formation is really activated, even I won't be able to control its prowess."

"They're just a few invisible earthworms. How dare they call themselves dragons?!"

Fang Xingjian let out a snort and then inhaled deeply. Endless electromagnetic waves, radiations, heat, and light surged toward his body wildly, and his body was soon gushing with power. Over 1,440 streams of aura rose from his body, and the terrifying power continued to gush about in his body like an earthquake which had broken out in the ground.

Crisp kaboom kaboom sounds rang out incessantly. Fang Xingjian exerted force, and the several hundreds of atmospheric dragons around him were all thrown off from the impact. Then he punched out, scattering several tens of atmospheric dragons into strong gales.

Second Uncle Fang Yuehe's countenance turned into one of shock. He would never have expected that Fang Xingjian could achieve something like this. The density of ether particles in Demonic City was actually extremely low, and the same went for diabolic energy. Most Warriors would have to rely primarily on their physical power for battle, and their extraordinary powers would be over ten times weaker than they would be in Miracle World.

Fang Yuehe had amassed a tremendous amount of diabolic energy in his body for him to be able to perform the Atmospheric Dragons Formation. However, to think that Fang Xingjian had managed to break through them merely with his physical power... How strong was his physical strength?!

Fang Yuehe's countenance changed drastically, and he let out a loud bellow, "Explode!"

In that instant, the atmospheric dragons, that were originally surrounding Fang Xingjian's body, exploded one after another. Each of the dragons, which were condensed from high pressure air, radiated wildly. The prowess from the explosion of each atmospheric dragon was seemed almost comparable to that of a fuel-air explosive.

Now, all the several hundred atmospheric dragons were comparable to several hundred fuel-air explosives exploding. What kind of prowess was this?

With just a single attack, the Fang Clan's entire manor was smashed into dust. The shock waves had also rendered several streets in the vicinity into flat land.

A mushroom cloud soared up into the air, and the crazy tremors and deafening sounds coming from the ground resonated throughout all of Demonic City.

All the members of Fang Clan's upper echelon, who had been dragged out by the atmospheric dragons around them, looked at this shocking explosion in fear. Only then did they understand that Fang Clan's second son had actually grown to such a level without them knowing. The most terrifying thing was that none of them knew what method he had used for him to be able to amass a tremendous amount of diabolic energy even in Demonic City. This unknown ability had allowed him to fully unleash such a powerful extraordinary power.

However, just as everyone thought that Fang Xingjian was either dead or seriously injured, a black silhouette charged out abruptly and appeared before the Fang Clan's second son. It was Fang Xingjian.

His clothes were all torn and tattered, but there was not even a hint of blood found on his body, let alone any wounds and injuries. He had gotten away unscathed.

The Fang Clan's second son let out a terrified cry, and another over ten atmospheric dragons formed instantly. They grabbed out at Fang Xingjian and then exploded once again.

However, this time around, Fang Xingjian opened his mouth and let out a maniacal bellow. The terrifying sound waves resonated toward the atmospheric dragons, sending all of them scattering outward.

Then Fang Xingjian reached out to grab the Fang Clan's second son, smashing streams of air shields wherever he passed by. Fang Yuehe's battle clothes were destroyed before Fang Xingjian even got close. Just as Fang Xingjian's hand was about to grab Fang Yuehe's head, a brilliant jade which was of the purest green color flew out from Fang Yuehe's body. It exploded instantly, unleashing streams of green light. They formed a protective barrier with the intention of shielding Fang Yuehe.

This was clearly the item which Fang Yuehe had used to amass the diabolic energy, and it was clearly a treasure.

However, when faced with this abrupt and explosive power, Fang Xingjian did not even cast a look at it. There seemed to be huge beasts roaring out in the world as Fang Xingjian's violent palm force crushed the barrier. Then he grabbed Fang Yuehe's neck. As fierce power gushed out, all of Fang Yuehe's ability to resist was crushed, and Fang Xingjian lifted Fang Yuehe with his hand like he was lifting up a chicken.

Chapter 486: Anti-ether

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Seeing Fang Yuehe was being grabbed, the other members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon let out a cry and unconsciously wanted to make a move to save him.

A person sent out a tornado toward Fang Xingjian, but Fang Xingjian sent it flying back toward the person with just a puff. The person was then was knocked into the ground, and they fell unconscious on the spot.

Another person sent out over 100 wind blades slicing out at a rapid speed, but the blades were flicked away by Fang Xingjian's kick. Kicking the air like this, the shockwaves, which were formed from compressing the air, crushed all the wind blades. This attacker was also sent flying several tens of kilometers away.

Then yet another person dashed right up to Fang Xingjian, and the high frequency saber he was holding slashed out toward Fang Xingjian's neck.

The high frequency saber, which vibrated ceaselessly at a rate of 20,000 times per second, was sufficient to crush all metals in the world. This was especially true when this member of the upper echelon of Fang Clan had a powerful aura, and all the forces from the saber's edge were gathered into one spot. It was clear that this person was an expert in using the saber.

When this saber attack came slicing down, it exuded an impact which would even slice through a mountain or river even if they were to appear before the wielder.

There was a clank sound, and the member of Fang Clan's upper echelon felt happy. "I hit! No matter how strong your body is, to think that you would dare to take my full power attack with your throat. You're far too arrogant!"

However, after this thought went through this member's mind, he realized that his saber attack could not cut through no matter what he did. There was even a powerful backlash. The high frequency saber was instantly rendered into dust by the vibrations. The wielder also suffered from broken tendons and bones as he dropped to the ground, spurting blood.

Faced with everyone's attacks, Fang Xingjian had not even moved his upper body a single inch from the very beginning. He stood there in midair like a demonic god that had come from hell as he grabbed the throat of the Fang Clan's second son, Fang Yuehe, tightly with one hand.

Fang Xingjian was also exuding a surging malevolent aura which was filled with brutality, craftiness, and maliciousness.

No one else from the Fang Clan's upper echelon dared to charge up to Fang Xingjian, and they all stared at him, who was standing in midair. They were like ducks who had their throats grabbed, unable to say a single word.

Fang Xingjian glanced across the entire room while grabbing onto Fang Clan's number two, Fang Yuehe, as if he were a small chicken. With long black hair swaying in the wind and appearing like flames, Fang Xingjian spoke calmly, "Under Li Shuanghua's lead, the Fang Clan is really getting weaker by the generation. The upper echelon is mediocre and incompetent, while those at the bottom are without the chance to excel. Furthermore, the Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming, is extremely useless as well.

"I think that from today onward, it's best to remove Li Shuanghua from the position of the clan's head. I'll be the one to lead the Fang Clan."

Hearing what Fang Xingjian said, everyone turned pale from shock. Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming, even bellowed furiously, "What impudence! How dare a b*stard like you dare to speak so shamelessly?!"

"Speak shamelessly? There are so many useless and good-for-nothing people here, but none of you can even take a single attack from me. What's the problem with me leading over all of you?"

Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming, said furiously, "Wretched kid! You're really a wretched kid! To think that you would dare to speak words of such heresy! Mother was right about you. You're an inhumane and ungrateful kid..."

"Have you said enough? If you have, then it's time for you to die." Fang Xingjian squinted. Then as his body created a long air current, his empty hand had already clenched into a fist, smashing down on Fang Yueming's head fiercely like a descending meteor.

However, at this moment, an abnormality arose. A strange smile crept up on Fang Yueming's face. Then at the next moment, even though Fang Xingjian's fist had smashed down onto Fang Yueming's head, Fang Yueming seemed to have disappeared like smoke.

Fang Xingjian was slightly taken aback. Then at the very next instant, a deafening sound rang out from within a one-kilometer radius. Many thick stone pillars rose up, forming a huge formation.

From outside the formation, Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming, smiled smugly and said, "Fang Xingjian, did you really think that we didn't know of your arrival? Fang Can secretly reported it to us long ago! Not only were we aware that you were coming, but we also knew that you've taken up the path of Knights and become a Demigod with one tier of perfection!

"However, I hadn't expected that not only have you attained perfection in your body's toughness, but there's also the aura of over 1,440 specialty seeds (internal specialties plus external specialties) coming from your body. You've already reached two tiers of perfection, right?

"However, that's useless. This anti-ether formation is something that the Earth's Federation specially came up with to deal with Knights like yourself. Once this formation is activated, you won't be able to perform any martial techniques, regardless of what they are. You'll also be attacked by the geomagnetic force of all of the earth. Fang Xingjian, you better submit to us without putting up a fight."

Standing beside the Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming, was his wife. She said impatiently, "Why are you saying so much crap to him? When dealing with a b*stard like him, we must first give him a good beating before we talk."

Hearing what the two of them said, the countenances of all the people present turned grim. In particular, Fang Can's face was now extremely pale as she shouted, "Third Young Master! I'm still in here!"

Fang Yueming laughed loudly. "Fang Can, you're sacrificing yourself for the clan. I'll help you take good care of your entire family."

A member of the Fang Clan's upper echelon said, "Excellent, excellent, excellent. What a vicious Third Young Master. Your intention today isn't just to seize Fang Xingjian. You're probably also thinking of getting rid of us old men so that it'll be easier for you and your son to lead the clan in the future."

Fang Yueming did not answer directly but just smiled and said, "My son has already become a blessed son of the heavens, someone who will move unhindered in the world in the future. As his father, I can't be too much of a disgrace, of course.

"Naturally, I'll also be dealing with the messy small matters on his behalf."

The cold light gleaming in Fang Yuehe's eyes grew increasingly stronger. However, while he was still being grabbed by Fang Xingjian, he could not say anything, nor could he look in Fang Yueming's direction. He could only control the vibrations in the atmosphere to converse, "Third Brother, you already knew about this?"

"Mmm," Fang Yueming nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Second Brother. However, there can only be one clan head in the Fang Clan, and it's clear that my son is more suitable for the job. Therefore, I can only make preparations for that."

Fang Yueming was actually planning on killing his Second Brother and the members of Fang Clan's upper echelon. Then he would push all the blame onto Fang Xingjian.

However, it was not just because these old men would impede Fang Xingchen's rule over the Fang Clan. There was another reason for Fang Yueming's actions. He had already received the information that his Second Brother kept a minor celebrity as his mistress and that she had gotten pregnant three months ago.

At first, Fang Yueming's Second Brother had not gotten any children all this while and thus had not been a match for him. However, now that his Second Brother had gotten an illegitimate child, Fang Yueming would have to make the first move.

After all, human nature would not change. From the perspective of the Fang Clan's third son, Fang Yueming, it was hard to say if his Second Brother would still remain as harmless in a few more years after having a child of his own.

"What's the point of saying so much?" Fang Yueming's wife waved her hand and said, "Do it. Activate the formation."

Fang Yueming proceeded to put his hands together to form seals. Streams of electricity flashed about, and countless geomagnetic forces underwent changes, moving around unhindered in the formation. Wherever they passed by, all the buildings and streets were rendered into dust.

Concurrently, the entire Demonic City and even the ten over cities around Demonic City experienced a large-scale blackout. All the electricity had been gathered to this spot.

Right after that, the anti-ether formation was completely activated. Streams of lightning filled up the entire space, and amidst waves of agonizing cries, over half of the Fang Clan's upper echelon were pulverized.

As the atmosphere bellowed, Fang Xingjian dashed forth. However, when he reached the borders of the formation and was about to dash out of the formation, it was as if he had smashed into an invisible wall. With a tremendous boom , a violent power swept out, and Fang Xingjian felt like he had knocked against a continental shelf.

Then Fang Xingjian's countenance changed, and gray light started to rise from his body.

Chapter 487: Appearance

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

As the wave of gray light rose up, Fang Xingjian's arms swelled abruptly to become thicker. The muscles on his entire arm had become completely different on a structural level. It was as if his arms had turned into a pair of dragon claws, exuding powerful and overwhelming waves.

At the next moment, he let out a furious bellow and struck out with his fists consecutively. With each punch, the sky would tremble, the atmosphere would howl, and streams of shock waves would send the surrounding streets flying.

However, when his punches landed against that invisible wall, there was no reaction at all.

Fang Yueming let out a smirk and said, "It's useless. Fang Xingjian, this is an anti-ether formation formed from geomagnetic forces. Right now, you're unable to perform any of your techniques and can only unleash your physical power explosively. But no matter how powerful your physical body is, are you able to go up against the geomagnetic forces of the entire Earth?"

Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed, and his entire body landed on the ground. At the next moment, streams of lightning dragons attacked the surface of his body. However, his body absorbed them, turning them into nourishment which would increase his body's toughness.

Second Uncle Fang Yuehe hid behind Fang Xingjian and was protected by him as he absorbed all the thunderbolts.

'It's true that I can't even use a single of my techniques.

'If I use black magic... But the diabolic energy here is too weak for that. There's very limited black magic that can be performed...'

The myriad of thunderbolts encompassed Fang Xingjian's body entirely. As the blinding light from the thunderbolts shone down, Fang Xingjian seemed as if he had turned into a sun which had appeared on Earth.

The surrounding ground within a 100 meter radius had all been oxidized. Although Fang Xingjian was still continuing to absorb the thunderbolts, his body was heating up at a crazy rate.

The forces of the thunderbolts present were already sufficient to power up all of Demonic City for 100 years. With a surge of such terrifying powers, even if a person had attained perfection in his body's toughness, it would be impossible for him to continue to withstand against this power. As his body temperature continued to soar, even the physical particles would gradually collapse in the end, and the person's body would become completely integrated.

Having sensed this, a hint of anxiety appeared in Fang Xingjian's eyes. "What a powerful formation. To think that I'm unable to barge out of it even though I have attained two tiers of perfection. The people from your country are really powerful. I can at most hang on for another half an hour before I get blasted to death by these thunderbolts."

In Fang Xingjian's consciousness, another voice rang out, "It really is a little beyond my expectations. To think that they've tapped into the electricity of the entire city. The Fang Clan seems to have set up their own nuclear reactor as well."

"Reactor? What's that?"

"It's nothing. Leave the rest to me."

After the two voices in Fang Xingjian's mind finished talking, Fang Yueming, who was far away and outside the anti-ether formation, looked at the fully suppressed Fang Xingjian and said, "Xingjian, are you still going to put up a stubborn resistance? If you surrender now and cripple your cultivation, I may be willing to spare your life."

Fang Yueming was thinking that if he could replace Fang Xingchen's current apostle with Fang Xingjian, he would be able to help his son. For this reason, he was willing to spare Fang Xingjian's life.

However, just as he said this, there seemed to be invisible sharp swords slashing out in the void space. Green light was bursting out from his body, blocking the series of attacks.

"What?!"

Fang Yueming watched in astonishment as the green light veil gradually dissipated. It was as if there was something in the void space continuously slashing at the light veil encompassing his body. He could not understand what was going on.

This was especially so when that light veil, which was formed completely from diabolic energy and was usually used to protect his body, seemed to be too weak to stand a fight before this series of invisible attacks. It appeared to be as fragile as glass.

What Fang Yueming did not know was that the person trapped in his anti-ether formation was not Fang Xingjian, but the talented Gray Robed Mage who had disguised himself as Fang Xingjian—Tyrant.

As for Fang Xingjian, he had kept himself concealed between spatial gaps from the very beginning, relying on the hint of sword intent in Tyrant to communicate with him.

Right now, as Fang Xingjian was concealed in the spatial gaps, there were only streams of incorporeal sharp swords surrounding Fang Yueming's body, slashing on him ceaselessly. It was the second sword of the Four God-Slaying Swords—Infiltrating Void. This, together with his physique of being immune to diabolic energy, rendered Fang Yueming's light veil as useless.

The first sword of the Four God-Slaying Swords, the Rebirth, was a sword technique which built up on one's foundations as well as increased one's attributes and potential.

The second sword, Infiltrating Void, was a powerful sword technique which could enter through spatial gaps and penetrate through everything. It was traceless and undetectable.

In comparison to the Astral Obscurity Sword, the Infiltrating Void was one notch higher. Even at the moment of the attack, the sword stances could still remain hidden. This prevented the opponent from being able to find out what had attacked them even until the moment of their death.

The third sword, Lightless Sword, was a sword technique of unrivalled speed, one that could slash out sword ripples which were several tens of times his agility.

The fourth and final sword was All-Conquering. This was an ultimate sword technique which combined all the Killing techniques Fang Xingjian had acquired. It could truly cut and slice through everything, even light.

Having performed 'Infiltrating Void', Fang Xingjian was just like a demonic god from beyond the heavens, and Fang Yueming was completely unable to detect him. He could not understand what was going on at all and just watched as the light veil encompassing him get hacked at and eventually dissipate.

Seeing the light veil, it became clear to Fang Xingjian that this was probably the power Li Shuanghua had left behind in Fang Yueming to protect him. This was also the power which Fang Xingjian had detected to be hidden in Fang Yueming's body.

"Who's there?!

"Who's attacking me?!" Fang Yueming bellowed loudly.

Fang Xingjian's voice rang out from all directions, "Fang Yueming, have a good taste of my sword arts... It is the best in the world, perfect and flawless.."

Then at the next moment, Infiltrating Void was fully activated. The incorporeal sword force exploded outward from Fang Yueming's body. At the greatest level of mastery for the Infiltrating Void, it could penetrate through everything material as well as explode outward from all material substance in order to kill the opponent.

Amidst an overwhelming cry of agony, the sword force exploded in Fang Yueming's body, and he plunged down toward the ground, bathed in blood.

His wife let out a cry of surprise and caught him, but she felt that an overwhelming sword force was also exploding out from within her body. The couple immediately rolled onto the ground, crying out in pain. Their powerful physical strength tore the surrounding streets into debris, but that was unable to reduce the pain in their bodies in the least.

Fang Xingjian had intentionally held back, only injuring rather than killing them. This put them through extreme pain and agony..

"You little b*stard! You're a goner! I must tear you into pieces!" Third Uncle's wife shouted loudly. "Mother! Come and save us quickly! Save us!"

As Fang Yueming suffered from serious injuries, the entire anti-ether formation was stopped, and Tyrant regained his effeminate and pale figure. He grinned as he watched Fang Yueming and his wife continue to struggle and cry out.

Second Uncle Fang Yuehe, Fang Can, and the remaining three members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon watched this scene in terror. If it was not because Tyrant had absorbed all the impact, they would have died long ago. Despite this, there were only five of them left.

Fang Yueming and his wife, both of whom had collapsed and were crying out in agony, wore complicated expressions.

In the spatial gaps, Fang Xingjian, who had unleashed the full power of the Infiltrating Void, was now on his guard to the extreme. It was because he could sense that in Fang Yueming's body, an immense and extremely dark power, which was filled with the aura of dignity and order, was slowly wakening.

"Is she... finally coming?"

Then at the next moment, an emerald green glow burst out from Fang Yueming's eyes, and the voice of an old lady came out from Fang Yueming's throat. "You vile spawn! Are you trying to kill your uncle?!"

Fang Xingjian's voice, which was filled with killing intent, caused the entire sky to vibrate as he said, "Li Shuanghua, this good-for-nothing causes families to break up and decimates people just for the sake of some shares and patent rights. For the past few years, he has been throwing his weight about, bringing harm to countless innocent people. Today, I must kill him with my sword. Stop me if you can."

Chapter 488: Windthunder

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, Fang Yueming's expression became even more savage.

No, it was not Fang Yueming's expression. The physical body of Fang Clan's third son was now under Li Shuanghua's complete control.

Her power and consciousness which had been left behind in Fang Yueming's body were now finally awakened in this crisis.

A Divine level expert... Just a hint of their martial will could affect the physical world, just a single thought from them could create tornadoes, and just a hint of their consciousness could create a tsunami.

Layers and layers of green magic prints rose from Fang Yueming's body incessantly. Accompanied by a will which was extremely dignified and majestic, everyone felt as if their bodies were no longer within their control.

Conferred Knights could use their Heaven's Perception to sense the area within a ten meter radius, but the will of a Divine level expert was over ten or even 100 times more powerful than the will of a Conferred Knight. In this instant, Li Shuanghua's will had already encompassed the space which was over 1,000 meters in radius, and the space seemed to distort continuously. That was from Li Shuanghua's consciousness unconsciously distorting the space.

When everyone present saw this scene, their countenances turned extremely grim. The power of a Divine level expert was far too terrifying. Just a single movement, or a single thought, could affect the space which was within a 1,000 meter radius.

Fang Xingjian, who was hiding in the spatial gaps, also felt shocked.

However, his martial will was extremely strong, so how could he possibly be frightened? He immediately activated his Infiltrating Void at full power once again, and streams of sword force were sent gushing into Fang Yueming's body. The sword force exploded where his blood vessels, nerves, brain, and even heart were located.

However, Fang Xingjian's action this time around only caused Fang Yueming's body to shiver a little, leaving him unscathed.

Fang Yueming's body was now completely covered up by layers of green energy, on the inside and the outside. This power which seemed similar to green diabolic energy was not really the evil god's power. It was actually Li Shuanghua's power.

She had refined the diabolic energy into her own power. Right now, she was having them encompass Fang Yueming's entire body, right down to every single physical particle. With this, Fang Xingjian's sword force was forcibly fended off.

At the next moment, Li Shuanghua's (Fang Yueming's) eyes burst out with green light. Layers of martial will seemed as if they were traversing through the world, searching into each and every spatial gap.

The power of a Divine level expert's martial will was not only able to affect the physical world. It could also conduct the most detailed scan through the spatial gaps.

Being highly adaptable, a Divine level expert's martial will would encompass 1,000 meters when it was great and powerful, and penetrate deep into spatial gaps when fine and tiny. This was what a Divine level expert's martial will was like.

"I've found you!"

At the next moment, green light burst forth explosively in the void space. Fang Xingjian's silhouette suddenly appeared and plunged down at rapid speed from midair. With a tremendous boom , he smashed down into the ground, causing the ground to tremor, rippling like huge waves and pushing away large areas of buildings.

Sensing such a terrifying prowess, Third Uncle's wife laughed out loud, "You little b*stard, weren't you being very arrogant? Didn't you want to be treacherous and a heretic? Today, we'll let you know just how different you are from a Divine level expert."

However, at the next moment, looking at Li Shuanghua's green eyes which had turned in her direction, Third Uncle's wife immediately shut her mouth from fright.

"You're our Fang Clan's daughter-in-law. It's improper for you to be shouting so loudly."

Third Uncle's wife immediately nodded like a docile little chick.

Li Shuanghua looked toward the direction Fang Xingjian had plunged down into and said coldly, "Vile spawn, are you still going to resist?"

At the next moment, invisible sword forces exploded within a ten meter range from Li Shuanghua's body, both inside and outside her body. The explosions caused the streams of green light encompassing Li Shuanghua to tremble wildly. There seemed to be countless green sparks splattering out as well.

"It's useless," Li Shuanghua said coldly, "A Divine level's martial will is even sturdier than a level 29 Superior Divine Weapon. Its scanning range can reach out to 1,000 meters, and the rate of transmission is at the speed of light. It can scan right down to physical particles and into spatial gaps.

"What do you have to go against me?"

With a loud boom , Fang Xingjian was once again blasted out from the spatial gaps. After he plunged down to the ground, beams of green light incessantly blasted against his body in void space. That was Li Shuanghua using her martial will to strike him directly.

A Divine level expert's martial allowed them to affect the physical world within 1,000 meters as they wished. This was especially so when the martial will was a type of electromagnetic wave which could transmit at light speed, preventing the person receiving the attack from fending off or avoiding it. The target would only be able to take the attacks as they came.

Boom boom boom boom! As the attacks were launched wildly, Li Shuanghua simply stood where she was. With a change in her thoughts, green light flashed explosively in the void space, and surges of invisible martial will continued to strike directly against Fang Xingjian's body, smashing him over 50 meters underground.

"You vile spawn! Surrender now!"

Accompanied by a thunderous bellow, which resonated across the skies and under the outburst of green light, Li Shuanghua's martial will materialized into a huge green palm. It was covered with various green shining magic printsand exuded a profound, long-lasting, mysterious, and cool aura.

With the appearance of this palm, the atmosphere in the air above the entire Demonic City seemed as if it was being controlled as countless tornadoes gathered, compressing the air more and more. Many pure white spheres were formed as part of Li Shuanghua's renowned ultimate technique—Cloudmist Windthunder.

The moment each atmospheric compression of Cloudmist Windthunder exploded, the shock waves formed from the explosions could destroy the buildings within a 100 meter range.

Right now, numerous Cloudmist Windthunders appeared, densely packed, in the sky. It was a scene which would really give a person the chills.

Everyone was thinking that if these Cloudmist Windthunders were to explode, would that not mean that at least half of Demonic City would be blasted away?

Second Uncle Fang Yuehe's eyes were filled with disappointment. One of the reasons for that was because as a Divine level expert, Li Shuanghua's prowess was far too great. The moment she took action, Fang Xingjian, who had suppressed the entire scene earlier, had no means of fighting back.

Another reason was because he secretly hated how Li Shuanghua was biased. To think that she had left her consciousness and powers in Fang Yueming's body. Earlier on, even when Fang Xingjian's hands grabbed him, Li Shuanghua had not come out to protect him.

'I'll probably never be able to become the head of the Fang Clan as long as my mother is around.'

As for Fang Xingjian, after once again witnessing the prowess of a Divine level expert, no one felt that he still had any hope for the future. He would just be a stepping stone which would better bring out the shine of how powerful a Divine level expert was.

Looking at the densely packed Windthunders in the sky, a cold gleam exploded in Fang Xingjian's eyes. "Li Shuanghua, since I said that I'll be killing Fang Yueming today, I'll definitely be killing him. There's no way that you'll be able to save him no matter how much you try."

Li Shuanghua bellowed coldly, "B*stard. Going against the people above you and assaulting your seniors... How can you possibly still have the shame to stay alive?!"

Fang Xingjian let out a loud laugh and said, "Li Shuanghua, you're still not going to open your eyes and see what kind of useless son you've given birth to? He is arrogant, acts like a tyrant, and his talent is extremely bad. Yet he only knows how to be jealous of those with talent and tries to get rid of people who are dissidents to him.

"Right now, even I alone would be able to beat up this entire group of people. Even if I leave elders like these alone, it would just be trouble. What does it matter if I kill all of them?"

"Abominable!"

With a furious bellow, Li Shuanghua sent the Windthunders charging down toward Fang Xingjian's body.

Chapter 489: Retreat

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed into fine slits, and it seemed as if endless sword light was running turbulent in them. His Heaven's Perception was unleashed to its limits as he continued to absorb all light waves and sound waves, analyzing the locations, directions, and speed of the Windthunders.

Then the Four God-Slaying Swords' third sword, Light Pursuit, was activated.

This sword technique, which pursued extreme speed, was suddenly activated. In Fang Xingjian's eyes, the entire world had become so slow that it was as if everything had come to a standstill.

The densely packed Windthunders in the sky seemed to have frozen in midair. Each gap between them and each flaw they had were now apparent to Fang Xingjian.

Then a stream of sword light appeared with a flash out from the first Windthunder that landed. It was followed by a second stream, a third stream, a fourth stream...

The densely packed streams of sword light pierced through the Windthunders, one after another...

Light Pursuit was activated at full power, and with just a single thought, over one million streams of sword ripples swept out across the air, turning each and every Windthunder into powder.

In this space, which seemed to be almost at a complete standstill, all the Windthunders started to swell up slightly. They were all going to explode and scatter completely in the air in the next few seconds, blasting a tremendous hole in the atmosphere of the entire Demonic City.

Fang Xingjian's gaze once again turned toward Li Shuanghua. Then at the next instant, several hundred thousand streams of sword ripples gushed forth within a millisecond.

Right now, Li Shuanghua's physical body was not present. She had only left a part of her power and consciousness in Fang Yueming's body. Earlier, she could still fend off Fang Xingjian's ordinary slashes. However, right now, every single physical particle in Fang Yueming's body was being slashed consecutively by several tens of streams of sword ripples. Being attacked by such a high density and frequency attack, even the power she had left behind was unable to fend it off.

Kacha kacha kacha. In almost one-hundredth of a second, Fang Yueming suffered from tens of millions of slashes. At the next moment, the burst of green light surrounding his body was completely shattered, and he was cut up into a bloody mess, practically turned into a lump of meat paste.

However, Li Shuanghua was a Divine level expert after all. For Fang Xingjian to be attacking in one-hundredth of a second, he had already reached his limits. So, just as Fang Yueming's body was on the verge of death and the one-hundredth of a second had already passed, Li Shuanghua finally made her move. Completely encompassed by layers upon layers of green light, Fang Yueming's body was seemed as though it was pushed by endless waves from the atmosphere, and he disappeared into the horizon after a slight pause.

In order to protect her son's physical body, Li Shuanghua had directly controlled the atmosphere and transported Fang Yueming away. The only thing left behind was a voice filled with killing intent, resonating in midair.

However, having faced such an attack, even if Fang Yueming could survive, he would be a complete cripple.

"You vile spawn. My physical body isn't present today, so I shall spare your life for now. The next time we meet, I'll definitely suppress you personally so that you won't get to keep on living and bringing shame to our Fang Clan."

Concurrently, a stream of green light flashed explosively and blasted against Fang Xingjian's body at the speed of light, preventing him from giving chase. After Fang Xingjian sent out several hundreds of thousands of sword ripples slashing out to disintegrate the green light instantly, Fang Yueming's figure was nowhere to be found. He had escaped several hundreds of kilometers away and then disappeared.

Watching this scene, everyone was stunned.

Li Shuanghua, who had managed to suppress Fang Xingjian completely earlier, had made her escape?

Everyone seemed to find it hard to accept this scene.

It was not until when Fang Xingjian appeared in the void space, sending his domineering sword intent gushing out and striking against everyone's bodies, that someone reacted.

As a patter sound rang out, as if unable to withstand the pressure from Fang Xingjian's sword intent, the remaining members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon all kneeled down to the ground.

Fang Can looked in horror at Fang Xingjian who was up in the air. To think that he could force a Divine level expert's consciousness to withdraw... Just how terrifying was his battle prowess?

Third Uncle's wife also looked with disbelief in the direction Fang Yueming had disappeared to as she mumbled to herself, "How is that possible? How could this be? To think that this little b*stard managed to force Mother's power to draw back?"

The moment she finished saying this, she felt an immense pain coming from her face. As a tremendous force exploded on her face, she was sent spinning and flying out with a boom, knocking into ten over buildings and causing them to collapsed. She then landed into a pile of ruins.

"Who hit me?!"

Struggling to get to her feet, Third Uncle's wife spurted out a mouthful of blood, together with a few teeth. She lifted her head in fury, only to see Fang Xingjian standing before her, watching her with a cold gaze. Hints of sword intent circulated around her body, and it felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured down on her.

'If I speak carelessly, he'll really kill me.'

Third Uncle's wife shuddered and said while trembling, "I... I'm from the Hua Clan. You've already offended Li Shuanghua. If you kill me, our Hua Clan won't let you off either."

Fang Xingjian looked at her coldly, as if he were looking at a piece of pork served on a dish. "I hit you because of your impertinent words. The reason I'm not killing you is because your sin isn't deserving of death. It has no relations with the Hua Clan at all.

"However, you helped Fang Yueming to set up the anti-ether formation. I can't let this go just like that."

At the next moment, Hua Meimei let out an agonizing cry and collapsed. She felt as if something sharp had exploded in her mind. That was from Fang Xingjian tapping directly into her mind using the Infiltrating Void. From that day onward, her limbs would be completely uncoordinated, and she would never be able to perfectly coordinate her physical body's power. She would not be able to cultivate martial arts for life and would only remain an ordinary person.

Turning his head, Fang Xingjian looked toward the members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon who were present and said coldly, "From today onward, I'll be the head of the Fang Clan. Do any of you have anything to say?"

Everyone exchanged glances. Although Fang Xingjian had pushed back Li Shuanghua this once, it had only been her clone after all. They were still afraid that Li Shuanghua would come after them in the future if they were to surrender to Fang Xingjian completely.

However, Fang Xingjian was before them right now. If they did not agree, they were afraid that he would kill them with a single slash of his sword.

Just as everyone was hesitant on what to do, Second Uncle Fang Yuehe took a step forward and said, "Xingjian, with your current abilities and sword arts mastery, I have no objections for you to become the clan head.

"Before the battle between you and Mother is truly decided, we'll also help you to manage the clan temporarily."

Fang Yueming made his point very clear. Before the victor between Fang Xingjian and Li Shuanghua was really decided, they would help Fang Xingjian to manage the clan. However, once Li Shuanghua won against Fang Xingjian, they would pledge their loyalty to Li Shuanghua. Basically, they would just listen to whoever turned out to be the winner.

However, even if that was the case, they would definitely still suffer from Li Shuanghua's wrath after the whole matter was over.

The reason that Fang Yuehe took the lead to say this was clearly because he was aggrieved by his Mother's biasedness.

The others wore troubled expressions. However, when they sensed the increasingly intense killing intent coming from Fang Xingjian, they could only nod in agreement helplessly.

Fang Xingjian was aware that it was impossible for them to completely submit to him before the Divine level expert Li Shuanghua was defeated. He nodded slightly and said, "Help me spread the word that I'll be Fang Clan's clan head from today onward. Li Shuanghua has been a negative example over the years, acting like a tyrant. She is no longer fit to continue to take the position as the clan head.

"All of Fang Clan's influences in Demonic City must come to pledge their loyalty to me within three hours. Otherwise, they'll be seen to have rebelled against the clan together with Li Shuanghua."

Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed. He had not expected that for the sake of her third son, Li Shuanghua would be able to ignore the loss of her reputation as a Divine level expert and withdraw just like that.

The thing he was most worried about at the moment was that Li Shuanghua did not care about her reputation at all and would choose not to come look for him. He was worried that she would choose to bear with it for now, for the sake of the Divine Remains Equipment, and only decide on the next action after she had successfully forged the Divine Remains Equipment. If that were the case, the methods he could choose to use would be too little.

Therefore, he decided to go with the current plan as he thought with great feelings of hatred, 'I don't believe that even this won't be able to force you out.'

Everyone nodded bitterly, knowing that a huge storm would be brewing in Demonic City.

This was also the truth. With the accelerated networking of the modern society, the news of Fang Xingjian pushing back Li Shuanghua's clone had spread throughout the entire Demonic City in less than half an hour. Then it spread toward all the major influences on Earth.

Of course, only the various powerful clans, influences, and experts knew of this piece of news. Ordinary people only heard that a gas explosion had occurred in Demonic City. They knew nothing of the battle between experts or the division of the Fang Clan.

Then as the piece of news that Fang Xingjian had sent out became known by more and more influential people, more and more people rushed over to Demonic City in great anticipation for the great show which would be broadcasted.

Chapter 490: Federation

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

At the highest level of a building with 200 floors, and in the most luxurious room of the entire Demonic City, Fang Xingjian looked down at Demonic City below his feet as it beamed with brilliant lights. All kinds of sword intent continued to seethe in his mind.

Behind him, Tyrant was lazing on the sofa. His eyes seemed to be shut and yet they were not really so. It was as if he was dozing off.

Fang Xingjian threw him a glance and said, "Why have you become lazier and lazier of late? Cultivating one's martial will is like sailing against the currents. If you don't advance, you'll end up falling further back. If you continue being so lazy, your martial will will probably become increasingly weaker."

Tyrant opened his eyes and said lazily, "I joined you guys to interact with you in seclusion previously, and I have a clear plan for my future path now.

"I feel that something like black magic isn't something prepared for us humans. Just relying on black magic can only increase one's battle prowess, yet it is difficult to bring one's realm up. It's more of a means of attacking intended for living creatures that are powerful to begin with.

"Therefore, in order to let myself attain a breakthrough to the Divine level, I must combine the Knight's means of tempering the will and physical body."

Fang Xingjian nodded, "That's right. It's the same for magic prints and black magic. Borrowing the idea of how Knights cultivate can better help you attain a breakthrough to the Divine level.

"This time around, when you went against the many experts from the Fang Clan by yourself, I could tell that you were already able to have a great control of your physical body and will. You also showed signs of advancement in your martial arts, as well as progression in your fist intent."

Back when Tyrant had single-handedly fought against the many experts from the Fang Clan, each punch and kick that Tyrant displayed had not only been accompanied with extremely explosive and violent physical strength. It had also come with a world-crushing, beast-roaring state. However, the fist intent seemed more vague and hazy, having yet to be fully nurtured.

"That's right. But after I saw your exchange with Li Shuanghua, my level of comprehension went up a notch," Tyrant said. "You press forward with an indomitable will because you have the support of your extraordinary talent.

"I don't have your talent. If I charge on forward without knowing how to advance or retreat at the right moment, I may end up completely exhausted like a meteor one day.

"Therefore, as I progress, I need to rest even more.

"When I'm fighting, I must be fierce and domineering like a demonic god from hell. But during ordinary days, I must enjoy myself and nurture my spirit."

As Tyrant said this, he smiled. That feeling of laziness he exuded was even stronger now. He was like a huge beast laying down prone, turning around and yawning, slowly nurturing his physical strength.

"The true path of cultivation is to alternate the tension between tightened and relaxed. I'm unable to cultivate in the same way as you do. If I keep myself that tense all the time, I'll collapse. So, I can only choose to cultivate in another way.."

Fang Xingjian did not say anything. He merely thought of the remaining three years of his lifespan and nodded slowly. "This is a way as well. It's all good as long as you've found a way that suits you."

Tyrant looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "Then what about you? Although Fang Qian is unaware, I am fully aware that your Four God-Slaying Swords technique doesn't just have four swords. There's still the concealed profoundness of that fifth sword. That sword move is probably the one that can truly bring down a Divine level expert.

"Your comprehension must now be greater than mine after your exchange with Li Shuanghua's clone this time around."

"I did gain some comprehension." Fang Xingjian lifted his head and looked toward the sky, gazing at the starry night sky. He said, "The will of Divine level experts is even more powerful than I expected. If I want to really complete the fifth sword, I still need some time."

It was because Fang Xingjian was still unable to perform the fifth sword independently that the Four God-Slaying Swords was still called as such.

However, what Fang Xingjian did not share was that although he was unable to perform it by himself, he could perform the fifth sword once he activated the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent.

This was also the trump card Fang Xingjian had prepared for when he would go against the actual Li Shuanghua.

At that moment, there was the sound of someone knocking on the door. Then Second Uncle Fang Yuehe came in. He wore a complicated gaze as he looked toward Fang Xingjian, who had his back to him, and said, "Xingjian. Time's up. There are still seven people who haven't come."

Saying that, Fang Yuehe placed a stack of documents on the table, and Fang Xingjian started scanning through these documents with his Heaven's Perception.

The people, whom they were waiting for, were all either the presidents of the various companies which were under the Fang Clan, the commanders of the various bases, or the leaders of special troops.

There were a total of seven of them, and they were all considered as the key personnel of the Fang Clan. They held control of 80% of the Fang Clan's manpower and wealth, but none of them had come to meet Fang Xingjian within the stipulated time frame to pledge their loyalties to him.

This was also within Fang Xingjian's expectations.

"Alright, let's go then," Fang Xingjian said to Tyrant, "I'll take four, you'll take three?"

"Bring them all over?"

"Bring them all over and then let them stay here to live out their old age," Fang Xingjian communicated to Tyrant through his thoughts.

Many people had guessed that Li Shuanghua would rush over with her actual body to suppress Fang Xingjian, the clan's rebel.

However, Li Shuanghua had not appeared at all. Seeing that things were gradually moving in a direction he did not hope to see, the killing intent in Fang Xingjian's heart grew increasingly stronger.

He had already made the decision that even if he had to overturn the world, he had to force Li Shuanghua out.

However, just as they were about to set off, Second Uncle Fang Yuehe's cellphone rang. The moment he picked it up, his countenance immediately changed. Then he turned to say to Fang Xingjian, "Xingjian, a representative from the Federation has come."

Before he finished his words, the door to the room was pushed opened, and a cool looking lady with short hair walked in. She was wearing high heels and a set of military uniform with a short skirt. Ta ta ta ta sounds came from her high heels, and she walked straight right up to Fang Xingjian as if there were no one else around.

"Hello, Mister Fang. I'm Gao Lan, from the Planetary Defense of the Earth's Federation. I represent the Federation to order you to stop all the activities you're carrying out in Demonic City."

Fang Xingjian frowned and asked, "Earth's Federation?"

The Earth's Federation referred to the ultimate organization formed by the Earth's five strongest countries and the Five Great Clans. They practically represented the Earth's strongest influences in various domains.

"That's right. The Federation's upper echelon, as well as the various countries' leaders, are extremely unsatisfied with your recent actions in Demonic City. They hope that you can immediately stop such violent and barbaric actions. Otherwise, we can only interfere by using force."

After hearing what Gao Lan had to say, Fang Xingjian said nonchalantly, "Based on what I know, Li Shuanghua is one of the ten permanent council members of the Earth's Federation. Is she the one who asked you guys to come and stop me?"

That lady smiled. "Regardless of the answer, we hope that Mister Fang can be more rational and not lose your head to fury. The great influence of the Federation encompasses the entire Earth. Making an enemy of the Federation would mean that you're also making an enemy of all of Earth. I hope that you can give your reply after careful consideration. Don't act on impulse and make a rash decision that you'll regret for life just because you're young and impetuous."

Fang Xingjian said calmly, "Li Shuanghua feels that I won't be able to stand up to the pressure from the Federation and that I will quietly wait for her to come back, right? Or maybe she thinks that she doesn't have to rush back and that she can suppress me by relying on the Federation's powers?"

The female military officer smiled. Although she appeared polite, she could not hide her air of superiority that was in her eyes. "Is that not the case?"

Chapter 491: Surround and Attack

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

As a member of the Earth's Federation, the female military officer was very clear as to how extensive the power of the Earth's Federation was. As an organization jointly started by the Five Great Clans and five powerful countries, not only had they brought in the five strongest humans on Earth who were the five Divine level experts, they had also garnered in 80% of the countries, organizations, businesses, and main influences of the world.

Under such a tremendous power, not a single person or object would be able to resist. Whoever or whatever dared to resist would all be crushed into powder by extreme power.

Especially since the influence of the Divine level experts had been growing for the past few years. The Federation's influence had continued to grow rapidly, and it had truly become the Earth's strongest power.

This was also not the first time that the female military officer had encountered people who were supposedly experts, leaders, or dictators. However, when they faced the Federation, these people immediately turned into trembling little lambs.

Therefore, she smiled quietly, as if waiting for Fang Xingjian's terror and anxiety.

However, Fang Xingjian's reaction seemed to be completely beyond her expectations. He seemed extremely calm, feeling neither fury nor terror. He merely asked curiously, "Haven't you guys thought of the possibility that I can not listen to your requests?"

"Huh?" The female military officer seemed to have yet to react to Fang Xingjian's words.

Fang Xingjian shook his head, "You people have stayed too long in a safe environment and think that power, regulations, and society is everything. Haven't you people ever thought that if an overwhelming power ever was to appear, all the authority, wealth, and power that you usually rely on would all be useless?"

Fang Xingjian understood that Earth was different from Miracle World after all. Their societal rules and ways of thinking had been seeping in for several hundreds or thousands of years. They were nothing something that a few strong experts could change in a mere ten or so years.

Moreover, the Earth's military forces were equipped with varied high technology items and the density of the ether divine art and diabolic energy here were both extremely low.

Therefore, the people here did not revere the strong as blatantly nor as much as compared to those in Miracle World. The people here were more used to relying on politics, wealth, influences, and military force to resolve issues.

Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, the female military officer laughed in contempt as she looked at Fang Xingjian as if she was staring at an idiot, "Do you think that you're that overwhelming power?"

Fang Xingjian did not reply. The reason he had dared to come to Demonic City to face Divine level experts was clearly because he had made his own assessments.

The diabolic energy on Earth was weak. Moreover, Fang Xingjian himself was immune to diabolic energy. This would result in all the Divine level mystical prints Warriors being unable to rely on their diabolic energy, thus only able to rely on their own power to fight against him.

In a battle of physical strength, there was no overwhelming difference between Divine level experts and level 29 experts. For example, the only area in which an existence like Li Shuanghua was more powerful than him would be her martial will.

From the look of things, his 'Light Pursuit' could already close this gap through extreme high speed sword techniques. Moreover, he still had his fourth sword, as well as the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent, Terra Ingurgitation, and his fifth sword which he had not performed back then.

On Earth, Fang Xingjian's abilities were sufficient to allow him to fight against Divine level experts. Since that was the case, how could he possibly be making compromises?

"Li Shuanghua has yet to take my abilities in high regard? She feels that you good-for-nothings are enough to stop me? Then I'll make her see how ridiculously wrong she is."

Fang Xingjian threw a glance at the female military officer and calmly said, "Scram. Tell the people from the Federation that unless they immediately break off ties with Li Shuanghua, expel her from her position as a permanent council member, and get her to either hand over my mother's remains or tell me where she is. Otherwise, I will not stop.

"I will make you guys understand that not only are you forbidden to go against me, but if you were to meet my enemies and not immediately chop them up into pieces and bring them to me, you'll all suffer the most painful and bloody revenge from me."

The female military officer looked at Fang Xingjian as if she was looking at a fool. However, the next moment, she sensed a surge of sword intent entering her brain from the top of her skull. Her own will was unable to stand up for a fight before this sword intent and her body was instantly and completely controlled by this will. She dropped to the ground and rolled out of the place.

The female military officer continued rolling on the ground, entering the lift, then exiting from the lift at the first story, and then continued all the way out of the building.

Covered in dirt and dust, she stood up, wearing an infuriated expression. As she looked in the direction of the building's highest story, she gritted her teeth and said, "This b*stard! This lunatic!"

Her cellphone rang, and when she picked it up, a man's voice could be heard, "How was it?"

"He rejected!" the female military officer said furiously. "This guy is extremely stubborn! If we don't teach him a lesson, he won't know who he is up against!

"Take action! Take action immediately!

"We will earn great merit as long as we apprehend him!"

A short while later, through the sound waves and light waves Fang Xingjian was absorbing, he could sense that over 100 people had barged into the building. Many of the levels were being attacked and taken over. They were making their way up to the highest story at an astonishing speed.

Each of these people were covered in armor. They looked as if they were fully equipped robots , as if they were the warriors of the future.

Ordinary walls and levels were unable to stop them. With the enhancements from their mechanical exoskeletons, no weapons could penetrate them and all of them had great strength. Even Fang Clan's Black-Crystal Armored Soldiers were brought down by them without being able to show any form of resistance.

From the bottom, the female military officer looked at the mecha troop that was rapidly heading upward in the building and said with a cold smile, "This is the Federation's newest mecha troop. Each set of equipment they are wearing are formed from three layers of explosion-proof metal, providing resistance against explosions, from being pierced, from bullets, as well as high and low temperatures. They are even equipped with the newest exoskeleton power system, which allows the explosive burst of their strength and agility to be magnified by ten times or even more.

"When matched with top quality ion rifles and circular lightning swords, their damage prowess could easily match that of second transition Conferred Knights.

"Each member of the troop has also undergone a long period of hypnotism and medicinal injections. They are all highly experienced soldiers with wills of steel. Unless it is by Divine level experts' martial wills, they won't be suppressed by any things such as fist intent or sword intent.

"Moreover, each of them are also second transition magic prints Warriors for which the Federation has invested tens of millions to nurture."

Next to her, another military officer nodded and said, "As long as they can successfully apprehend Fang Xingjian this time around, not only will we be able to get full support from Madam Li Shuanghua, but we'll also be able to expand our troop and become one of the core troops of the Federation."

The female military officer broke into a confident smile. Over 100 level 29 magic prints Warriors were all equipped with the best equipments. Since its very beginnings, this troop had yet to fail any missions and they had even had the record of suppressing the rebellion of an elite troop formed from 100,000 men with 100 soldiers alone.

In her mind, Fang Xingjian was doomed.

Not long after their conversation, the armored warriors who were moving along the corridors at rapid speed fell, one after another.

After being swept through by Fang Xingjian's sword intent, the fervent beliefs and steel wills formed by their usual training were not worth a mention. One after another, their consciousnesses were attacked by the sword intent and they were knocked out unconscious.

Ten minutes later, the female military officer stood at the building's entrance with a grim countenance as she watched the unconscious mecha warriors being brought out one after another.

Suddenly, blood started flowing from her seven apertures. A large amount of her capillaries had been cut open and blood was spurting from them. Although the damage was not serious, her appearance was very scary.

It was then that the female military officer finally realized that as long as Fang Xingjian wanted to, he could easily kill her whenever he would want to.

Terrifying sword intent seethed in her consciousness, leaving behind seeds of terror in her heart. Unless she could defeat Fang Xingjian, she would forever have a great flaw in her will for life, unable to make any further progress. For several decades from that day onward, she would be plagued by nightmares of Fang Xingjian every single night.

However, she could no longer care much about it. Running over to her car, she made her escape immediately, absolutely terrified.

Chapter 492: Pursue and Attack

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Fang Xingjian stood before the full-length window on the highest story of the building. Looking down at the mecha warriors who were being moved out ceaselessly, as well as the female military officer who had escaped, Fang Xingjian said to Tyrant, "You stay here and watch the place. I'll follow them to take a look."

At the next moment, the Infiltrating Void was activated, and he darted into spatial gaps and completely disappeared.

Elsewhere, the female military officer was in a limousine which was moving at a rapid speed of 100 kilometers per hour. The street, along which the car was moving, had already been cleared off in advance.

The female military officer looked at the incoming call on her cellphone with a grim countenance.

"No, we failed.

"Yes... Yes... Yes...

"We'll be heading over immediately...

"I understand."

After the female military officer put down her cellphone, she got a shock. It was because she realized that without her knowing when, Fang Xingjian had taken a seat opposite her.

One of her hands quickly reached for the gun she had, but Fang Xingjian only had to send out his sword intent before her body completely stiffened up, rendering her unable to move.

Hints of a desire to struggle, hesitation, and desperation flashed in her eyes. Her will was completely suppressed by Fang Xingjian, just like a rock knocking against an egg, crushing it into bits. She could no longer summon any power to resist.

"Who were you reporting to? Where are the seven members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon who went against me?"

The female military officer said in a daze, "I was reporting to General Tang. The seven members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon have all been brought over to General Tang's residence."

Fang Xingjian carried on to ask a series of questions and got a better understanding of the entire Federation.

If the Five Great Clans were said to only have taken up a 30% share in the Federation at the start, then as time went by, their development, as well as the Divine level experts' various extraordinary powers, resulted in them now controlling over 70% of the entire Federation.

Although there was internal conflict in the Federation, they would naturally join forces when they encountered external enemies.

It could be said that this time around, in Fang Xingjian's fight against Li Shuanghua, the worst possible scenario would be for him to have to fight against the Federation and the other four Divine level experts.

This would happen unless Fang Xingjian could continue on undefeated, killing and defeating his opponents in turn. He had to make them understand that the price of them going up against him was much higher than for them to make an enemy out of Li Shuanghua.

General Tang, whom the female military officer had contacted, was Li Shuanghua's representative in the Planetary Defense of the Earth's Federation. He controlled the power of the troops in the Planetary Defense.

'I shall unroot all of your influences in the Federation completely. Let's see if you'll come out then.'

"Where is General Tang? Bring me to him."

Outside a mountain villa in Demonic City's countryside, Fang Xingjian strolled in between spatial gaps, as if he were taking an idle stroll in a garden. In merely a few seconds, he managed to pass by many guard posts, but he also found a small surprise.

Three young men dressed in black were slowly getting closer to the external wall of the villa.

'If there are Divine level experts lying in ambush, the three of them would serve well as scouts.

'And with these newbies' abilities, they're doomed to die if they enter. I can consider ensuring their safety if I follow them.'

After giving it some thought, Fang Xingjian followed behind the three young men.

Looking at the majestic villa, the young man in the lead, who had slightly tanned skin, said, "It's right here. Based on the surveillance camera on the highway, my younger sister was eventually brought to this place."

Beside him, another young man said, "Ah Hao, this place seems to be the military's territory. Maybe we shouldn't be barging in..."

Another young man with a buzz cut also said, "I heard that a high ranking military officer stays here. What on earth did your younger sister get herself into?"

The slightly tanned young man smiled and said, "I've already investigated. My sister wasn't the only one who was brought here after going missing. A number of young girls have also gone missing here. There were even some female stars who came by this place. What did you think could happen?"

The countenance of the young man with a buzz cut changed, and he said, "Ah Hao, is what you said for real? If that's the case, the person inside is probably very dangerous. He's definitely a highly ranked officer."

The slightly tanned Ah Hao said, "If you guys want to leave, then go on. Before they died, my parents left my younger sister in my care. Even if I die here, I must go in and check it out."

The young man with a buzz cut then immediately said, "Ah Hao, what kind of people do you think we are? People from our Righteous Dojo are all good brothers. In the worst scenario, we can just die together. I'm going in with you!"

The other long-haired young man hesitated for a moment before refusing to follow them. "I can't go in. I still have to take care of my grandmother. Ah Hao, I'm sorry, I really cannot go with you."

The two young men climbed over the wall, and the corners of Fang Xingjian's lips curled up slightly. He had already decided on saving the lives of these two young men.

It was a pity that Ah Hao and the young man with a buzz cut were only at first transition level and their ability to sneak in and investigate was extremely weak. At almost the same instant when they went over the wall, they were detected by the infrared rays of the security system. Then just two minutes later, they were already surrounded by a large number of soldiers.

A one-eyed military officer smiled coldly as he looked at the two young men who were now surrounded. "The two of you are really brave to dare barge into this place."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and over ten soldiers charged forth to seize the two young men. As the two young men were only at first transition, they were completely suppressed in the blink of an eye.

However, just as Ah Hao was about to be seized, Fang Xingjian, who was hiding in the spatial gaps, suddenly pointed out with a finger, releasing a stream of sword intent onto Ah Hao.

At the next moment, it was as if Ah Hao had received divine help, and he struck out with his palm. A tremendous boom rang out, and powerful air currents shot out in all directions. Amidst violent sword Qis, streams of sword force shot out in all directions from the center of his palm. The explosive outburst of power in this moment seemed as if several hundreds of thousands of kilograms worth of explosive had gone off.

As a tremor ran through the ground and the mountains shook, half the villa was turned into flat land. The area within several tens of thousands meters turned into ruins, and several hundreds of soldiers were killed by the blast. Only Ah Hao and his friend remained standing there, looking at the ruins before them.

Ah Hao stared at his palm in a daze, as if he could not believe that he was the one who had done this.

"An expert!" That one-eyed military officer bellowed and darted out from the ruins. He glared at Ah Hao and said, "I'm the Planetary Defense's World Demolition Fervent Saber. An expert like you is definitely not a nobody. Tell me..."

Ah Hao unconsciously punched out across space, and the second transition level 29 magic prints Warrior exploded, sending a sheet of blood rain down.

Under his companion's astonished gaze, Ah Hao stomped one of his legs down onto the ground. Then the area within one kilometer exploded instantly, revealing a large area of underground structures. This was the true face of the mountain villa.

At the next moment, several tens of powerful auras locked onto Ah Hao and his friend, and endless killing intent gushed toward them.

The young man with the buzz haircut opened his mouth wide and said in astonishment, "F*ck. Ah Hao, you're incredible!"

Chapter 493: Too Weak

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Ah Hao was looking at this scene in a daze. He said in slight disbelief, "I'm actually this amazing?

"I'm actually so f*cking amazing?"

At that moment, several tens of experts emerged from the underground base, eight of whom were securely guarded in the center.

Seven of them were the members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon who were protected at this villa. The remaining person, a thin old man with a full beard, was General Tang, the Fang Clan's representative in the military.

Although he appeared to be very old, he still had great vigor and exuded strong valiance. He seemed to be a person who shouldn't be underestimated.

An old president from one of the Fang Clan's organizations shouted out as he looked anxiously at the state of the ruins, "Is Fang Xingjian here?! Is Fang Xingjian here?!"

General Tang, who was beside him, gave him a slap and shouted, "What are you screaming for? If you don't wish to die, then just stay here quietly."

As he spoke, he had already walked up till he was 100 meters away from Ah Hao. "Kid, who are you? Do you know where you've barged into?"

Ah Hao looked at the crowd of people who were all wearing military uniforms. Even if he did not recognize the components on their uniforms, he knew that this person before him was a high ranking officer. He said a little nervously, "I'm Lai Wenhao. My younger sister was abducted and brought here. Release her immediately."

"What rubbish are you talking about?" General Tang frowned. He had initially thought that this person was someone Fang Xingjian had sent, but it seemed that this person was totally unrelated to Fang Xingjian.

General Tang waved his hand and said, "Seize them."

However, no one in the surroundings moved. In fact, they could not even stay standing as they fell in succession, let alone being able to move.

These people around General Tang were all elites in the military who were under the Fang Clan's command. There were several tens of them, and they were all level 29 magic prints Warriors. Putting aside the fact that they were experienced fighters, they were all powerful warriors who were well equipped. Yet, to think that they had all fallen without any warning!

By this moment in time, Fang Xingjian had already slowly walked out from the spatial gaps. Looking at the seven members of the Fang Clan and General Tang, who were the only ones still standing, Fang Xingjian said calmly, "You people dare to lure me here without even getting a Divine level expert to set up an ambush?"

General Tang's face trembled a little as he looked at Fang Xingjian and asked, "You're Fang Xingjian?"

Fang Xingjian did not reply and just looked at the seven members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon. The disposition he exuded was hard to fathom. Ever since he emerged from his seclusion back in Great Western City, his abilities had become increasingly unfathomable, and his sword intent was increasingly hard to grasp.

Furthermore, after his battle with Li Shuanghua's clone, this situation was growing increasingly serious. It was as if Fang Xingjian did not fit in with the rest of the world and that he would dissipate into thin air at any moment now.

When General Tang saw that he was completed ignored, a hint of fury flashed in his eyes. Then streams of green light flashed through his body, and explosive air currents burst forth from his back. He charged out toward Fang Xingjian like a rocket.

Concurrently, lightning flashed through his body and he was covered up in a layer of metallic armor.

At this moment, the power of his magic prints, muscles, and armor were all merged into one and gathered in his hands. Forming seals with his hands, he showed a 70% to 80% similarity to Li Shuanghua's large hand which was formed from her condensing her martial will. As the impact emerged from his hands, the sounds of the wind and thunder could be heard, and it was as if a myriad of thunderbolts had exploded in the sky.

Confronted with this palm strike which General Tang demonstrated at 120% of its power, Fang Xingjian casually sent his palm out to collide with General Tang's.

It was a pity that when the two palms came into contact, General Tang's face flushed red and the blood vessels throughout his body swelled up. He felt as if he had collided into an aircraft carrier and the pressure was so great that his entire body was rendered unable to move. He could only forcibly receive the blows from the surges of backlash, unable to say a single word.

Fang Xingjian's expression was very much at ease as he spoke in a soft voice, "You're so weak. Why do you still want to fight against me?"

Then at next moment, waves of power exploded in General Tang's body directly. With a loud cry, he spat out a large mouthful of blood and retreated rapidly. He even ended up stumbling and falling to the ground on his butt.

"Too weak." Fang Xingjian could not feel any happiness from breaking through General Tang's attack. He merely shook his head and said, "I know that you still can't accept this, and I know that this won't leave a scratch on you and the Federation. Therefore, I'll spare your life.

"As for the seven people from the Fang Clan, I'll be bringing them with me. However, I'll be back again tomorrow. I hope that you guys will be able to bring me a bit of a surprise."

Fang Xingjian then turned to look at the seven members of the Fang Clan's upper echelon. With a casual brush of his sword intent, the astonishment, terror, and anxiety that the seven of them had been feeling earlier all disappeared. They walked out like the undead, headed toward the location of the Fang Clan's building.

Then Fang Xingjian looked at Ah Hao and his companion. The two of them gazed at Fang Xingjian excitedly and nervously. By now, they were well aware that everything had been due to Fang Xingjian's intervention in the background.

Fang Xingjian did not say anything but sent out his sword intent brushing toward them to tell them that Ah Hao's younger sister was under the debris over 30 meters behind them. Additionally, Fang Xingjian told them that under his intentional protection, she was unscathed.

"These two people aren't bad. I don't wish to see them dead." Fang Xingjian's words were directed toward General Tang.

Fang Xingjian believed that as long as he was still alive, no one would ever target these two young men again.

Following this, Fang Xingjian left while exuding an aura which made him seem increasingly like he was from out of this world. It was as if he did not care in the least what would happen next here.

He returned to the Fang Clan's building. However, it was not long before he understood that the Federation's attitude and counterattack would both be even more intense and fiercer than he had imagined.

At the center of the Demonic City, in a meeting room which belonged to the Earth's Federation, many people were engaged in an intense quarrel.

"Te...rro...rist! This is blatant terrorism! If we let off a person like this who takes the initiative to assault the military and innocent commoners, then the entire Federation's reputation will go down the drain!"

"But Fang Xingjian is very powerful. Ordinary means would probably be useless against him."

"Where are Madam Li Shuanghua and the others? It's best if we can get the Divine level experts to take action immediately. We must suppress this Fang Xingjian instantly."

"Madam Li Shuanghua, Lord Thunder Monarch, and Lord Despot haven't responded. Lord Tiandao and Lord Titan are still in Miracle World and are unable to come over for now."

Just then, General Tang, who was wrapped up in white bandages but still had hints of red blood seeping through them, started coughing. Then he said with a grim expression, "I suggest that we deploy the Zero troop."

"The Zero troop?"

"This requires the affirmation from the permanent council members, right?"

"In such a short period of time..."

General Tang spoke with a vicious expression, "Are you guys going to just watch as Fang Xingjian brings chaos to Demonic City while we're just left with no solutions?" Saying that, he clapped his hands and someone behind him brought over stacks of documents.

"This is the emergency order Madam Li Shuanghua sent out. It has already received agreement from the several other lords of the Divine level. We're to immediately deploy the Zero troop, and we must suppress Fang Xingjian within the shortest time possible, removing all odious influences."

Chapter 494: Stubborn As A Mule

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

Above the Fang Clan's building, Fang Xingjian stood in midair. Each step he took would step on the void space, allowing him to stand upright in midair.

Usually, he had to step on the air at high speed in order to fly in midair. However, this time around, he did not do any action and was just standing there quietly. He was like a fish swimming in the water or a bird flying in the sky.

Tyrant, who was also floating in midair, looked down at the prosperous city and said, "You've already successfully mastered the Air Stepping specialty? With this specialty, you'll be able to tap into the earth's geomagnetic forces and use them to fly in the air. In midair, your explosive prowess will be no different from when you're on land."

As Fang Xingjian walked forward, he sensed how he was standing on the geomagnetic field. It felt no different from when he was stepping on the ground. There was also the backlash of energy, and he could run and jump as he normally did.

This was the specialty: Air Stepping. It was also the specialty Fang Xingjian had newly acquired.

During this period of time, with Tyrant's body which had reached the level of a Demigod with two tiers of perfection, it had been much easier and simpler for Fang Xingjian to condense his specialty seeds. His physical strength would change almost every minute and every second.

Tyrant looked at Fang Xingjian, who was standing in the air, and he felt a vague sense of pressure.

'Ever since this guy pushed back Li Shuanghua's clone, the aura he exudes has become increasingly unfathomable. Now, even I'm not aware of what level his sword arts mastery has reached.'

Then Tyrant looked down at the prosperous city, and his eyes lit up with a curious glow, "The people in this world are really special. Although there are very few Divine level experts, the mechanisms here are very developed and it's even possible for them to mass produce level 29 experts."

As the overlapping area between the two worlds was the sea, Tyrant had followed Fang Xingjian from Miracle World's Western Sea to this world's Eastern Sea. All along, he had thought that he had simply followed Fang Xingjian to a new country.

Fang Xingjian did not reply and just continued cultivating his fifth God-Slaying Sword.

'A Divine level expert's powerful martial will can transmit at light speed, extending out to a 1,000-meter range. Therefore, it isn't practical to hope to use one's physical body to face it.

'After all, each of the other party's thoughts would be transmitted at light speed. When each thought strikes the individual, he may not even have the time to clench his fist. Therefore, it would be impossible to use one's physical body to go against it.

'Will is the only thing that can go against another will. Although my 'Light Pursuit' can result in a time lag, attacking at one-hundredth of a second before they react, this little bit of time wouldn't be enough to kill them. It won't bring about an absolute advantage.

'The damaging prowess of the fourth sword, 'All-Conquering', is powerful enough, but it isn't as fast as the Light Pursuit's sword ripples. It would too easy for them to obstruct and dodge the fourth sword.

'I still need the fifth sword before I can have a decisive advantage.'

Fang Xingjian was confident that with his abilities, and the Four God-Slaying Swords as well as the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent and the Terra Ingurgitation, he was a good match for the Earth's Divine level experts when they were on Earth, which was a unique battlefield. However, for him to be even stronger, there was a need for him to be capable of performing the fifth God-Slaying Sword.

To Fang Xingjian, this sword was one which could allow the weak to overcome the strong, and thus become able to directly kill the will of a Divine level expert. It was a purely mental sword attack.

Just as Fang Xingjian was slowly condensing his fifth sword, there was a commotion at the ground floor of the Fang Clan's building.

Fang Xingjian stood above the rooftop, looking down at the rows of walking robot soldiers. He said in surprise, "Robots?" He lifted his head and discovered many metallic monsters flying about in the air. Rows of high speed machine guns and missiles kept locking onto his body.

Fang Yuehe said a little nervously, "They are a purely mechanized troop. They are also the trump troop that our Fang Clan formed in the Federation, the Zero troop."

"Powerful Conferred Knights or Demigods, or even Divine level experts would be able to destroy an ordinary Warrior's will with just a thought. Therefore, the robot troop was specially developed to fight against consciousness attack.

"The exterior of these robots are all made from alloy, and they are equipped with various weapons which were designed to go against second transition enemies. Xingjian, you'll have to be careful."

Fang Yuehe looked at Fang Xingjian, a little worried. In a mere couple of hours, Fang Xingjian had removed Li Shuanghua from her position. However, although Fang Xingjian was the clan's head in name, the actual management had been left to Fang Yuehe. Fang Xingjian did not even implement any restrictions on him and had no intentions on interfering at all.

This made Fang Yuehe, who had been suppressed by his younger brother and mother for an extended period of time, felt extremely exhilarated.

He even increasingly hoped that Fang Xingjian would be able to defeat Li Shuanghua and truly become the clan's head. This would allow him to maintain the status of being above many and yet reporting only to one.

Fang Xingjian listened to Fang Yuehe's introduction, looked down at the robotized troop, and shook his head. "Stubborn as a mule."

To Fang Xingjian, with his sword of 'Infiltrating Void', there would be no robot troops that could be his match. Afterall, no matter how hard or how sturdy their exteriors were, could their chips and circuits be just as sturdy?

Fang Xingjian's sword of 'Infiltrating Void' could penetrate everything physical, attacking from within his opponent's body.

'Li Shuanghua should be aware of my sword of Infiltrating Void

'Is she thinking of trying to deepen the conflict between the Federation and me? To try to kill me using another person's blade?'

Fang Xingjian laughed coldly in his heart, 'Then I'll smash that entire blade, crushing even the person holding it. I shall see if you'll come out then.'

At that moment, Fang Yuehe's cellphone rang, and he picked it up. Wearing a shocked expression, he looked at Fang Xingjian and said, "It's a call from General Tang. He wants to talk to you."

Fang Xingjian shook his head and got Fang Yuehe to hang up the phone.

He then looked at the robot troop on the ground. With a flash, he completely disappeared. Fang Xingjian activated his sword of Infiltrating Void, and streams of sword force exploded inside the robots' bodies.

Then he continued to move through the spatial gaps, massacring the surrounding robots. It felt as simple as cutting grass. His attention was not placed on this at all.

Fang Xingjian thought, 'If Li Shuanghua still doesn't appear after I've killed this batch, then I'll kill my way to the Federation's headquarters. Even if I have to turn the entire place upside down, I'll get them to tell me where she is.'

Several kilometers away, General Tang heard the busy tone from the phone and became so angry that his eyes turned bloodshot. "Arrogant! This kid is too arrogant! Mobilize all the troops! I want to beat this kid up till he kneels down and begs me!"

General Tang's expression appeared increasingly vicious as he looked at the control tower. The many green dots representing the robot warriors all flew rapidly toward the direction of Fang Clan's building.

Each of these robot warriors were worth several tens of millions and could be said to be weapons that were extremely expensive as well as extremely powerful. Not only did they render all consciousness attacks as useless, the robot warriors were even equipped with laser weapons which were targeted toward cultivators with high speed. They also had high-tech equipment which were specially invented to deal with Warriors with powerful bodies, such as ones that created vibrations in the joints of cultivators who excelled in strength.

However, the light spots in the control tower had only moved for one or two seconds, then at the next moment, all the light spots dimmed simultaneously.

'What's going on?"

"Is there a problem with the communications?"

"The network isn't down..."

"The control tower isn't down..."

"Activate the satellites to check out the situation on the scene."

On the big screen, the streets near the Fang Clan's building were clearly presented. However, when the people from the control tower saw the rows of robots collapsing to the ground along the streets while emitting black smoke, General Tang's mouth opened wide.

Thinking of the value of this robot troop, and thinking of how much of his time and wealth he had invested to get them to what they were today, General Tang was overwhelmed with fury. Then he sprayed out a mouthful of blood.

At the next moment, everything before him turned black, and he lost consciousness.
