"Sigh..."
It seemed as though Fang Yuan had already detected Meng Lian's evil thoughts.
"Lord, why are you sighing?"
Lu Xuanzhi asked curiously.
Out of the 9 Extremes Mountain, they did not have any more official relationship. Although Lu Xuanzhi still respected Fang Yuan, he sounded more casual now.
"I feel that with the mountains and the rivers, this place is the best prosperous land anyone can ask for..."
Fang Yuan sighed once more. "It is worthy to be of someone's place of burial!"
"What do you mean?"
Meng Lian was on high alert as she sprinted away, thinking that Fang Yuan would strike her.
"That's right. This place is indeed perfect to be your place of burial!"
But this time, it was a deep voice.
The dream masters were shocked.
With all of their spiritual wills, they would still be able to detect a 9th Meridian Wu Zong. The only person they would not be able to detect would be a True Divine, capable of concealing their spiritual auras!
"This is not good... Run!"
Huang Long's expression changed as he burrowed away in a streak of yellow light resembling a water dragon.
"Bang!"
After a few yards, the yellow water dragon came to a halt as though something was blocking it and blood spewed everywhere.
"Is this wind from the fist of a True Divine?!"
Lu Xuanzhi shuddered in fear as he gazed at Cang Xuansheng who seemed to have appeared from mid-air.
Cang Xuansheng was wearing green robes and had sharp facial features. He had a handsome look for a middle-aged man, but to the dream masters, he was the cruellest demon of all!
"Hehe!"
"Hehe!"
"Cang Xuansheng, your enemy is Baize Mountain. It is none of our business. Since you have already killed Huang Long, why are you still not taking your leave? Do you know that you are already wanted by the 5 Grand Organisations? Any powerful dream master might appear anytime to kill you!"
The dream masters were shivering in fear as Lu Xuanzhi clenched his teeth to exclaim.
Cang Xuansheng held his hands behind his back and examined the crowd. "Baize Mountain should be destroyed, but it is the same for all of you here! Are you Fang Yuan? The talent from the Realm Alliance?"
He ignored Lu Xuanzhi as though he was part of the background and instead, started to examine Fang Yuan.
"Great! Great! Great! You have strong energy from your blood and your martial arts is shocking. Your physical body is indeed hardy, and I believe you have already formed the 7th Meridian? You're indeed a talent. It's a pity..."
Cang Xuansheng was indeed a powerful True Divine martial artist for he could figure out Fang Yuan's cultivation level in one look. With that, he shook his head and sighed. "You have great potential, but it's a pity that you have turned to the dark side!"
"Oh? May I know how I was being described in the information?"
Fang Yuan asked with curiosity.
"Fang Yuan, unknown heritage, 5th Leaf Cultivator in the Realm Alliance, under the age of 30, at the 4th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage, has unparalleled potential..."
Cang Xuansheng recited a portion of the information. "Although you are a hero among your people, you are my enemy. I cannot let you walk out of here alive! Of course... before that..."
"Whoosh!"
As his shadow flickered, he floated swiftly towards Meng Lian. With the flick of his fingers, the protective fog around her was dispersed, revealing a pale Meng Lian. With his claws, he grappled on the piece of jade on her neck. "Too many tricks!"
"Cang Xuansheng, if you dare to kill my daughter, I will..."
The jade shook violently as a desperate voice was heard. In the jade, there was a faint glow and the illusionary figure of a person as well.
"Even if you send you magical clone here, what can you do?"
Cang Xuansheng laughed. Tightening his grip, the jade was reduced to powder and the mysterious and unwilling voice disappeared.
"Senior….. You..."
Meng Lian's expression changed once more and she could only force herself to say a few words.
"Bang!"
A bloodied hole appeared on her forehead as she fell gently to the ground.
"A pretty corpse but all this vengeance... After your death, everything is fleeting!"
The True Divine sighed as he looked around. "Why are there so little smart people in this world?"
"Rumble!"
In the next moment, fear was written on every dream master's face. An expanding and hot sun started to emerge.
From Cang Xuansheng, the sun started to expand, spreading its glow and heat, enveloping all the dream masters within it.
In the next moment, Lu Xuanzhi's expression changed as he felt the dream elemental force in him came to a halt. The only thing he could see was a flash of sword radiance before him. Within seconds, his body was perfectly sliced into two.
"Go!"
Although his physical body was destroyed, his Yin Spirit was still intact. Possessing a piece of black talisman, he hastily attempted to escape into the air.
He was quick, but Cang Xuansheng was quicker!
After slicing through him, the sword radiance became strengthened. Curling backwards, the light turned into a glow resembling a furnace, trapping the black talisman inside.
"Ah!"
The sword radiance slowly shrank. A shriek was heard coming from it. This dream master from the Evil Divine Sect was completely wiped out of existence.
"Using a knife as a net? An interesting and powerful knife technique!"
Fang Yuan realised that every time the True Divine waved his hands, there would be a streak of sword radiance emerging out. Even if the dream masters were to sacrifice their physical bodies to allow their Yin Spirit to escape, they would still end up being trapped in the sword radiance.
Needless to say, the strong blood energy of this True Divine was enveloping the entire place. It was specialised to counter illusions and spiritual spells and this person had a lot of experience in dealing with dream masters. With regards to martial arts, of course, the dream masters would still fall behind.
"You're smart..."
After a while, Cang Xuansheng stood still. "You don't have any tricks up your sleeves. However, it's a pity that you are a member of the Realm Alliance. I can offer you a better deal for you to kill yourself!"
"Kill myself?"
Fang Yuan bit his lip. "I'm afraid I cannot accede to your request!"
"Then you're just courting death!"
With sparks, the True Divine quickly made his way towards Fang Yuan and struck a palm out.
Although it seemed like a casual palm, it was extremely swift. Fang Yuan could not react in time as his subconscious martial arts defence was only beginning to form. The palm landed squarely on his chest and Fang Yuan flew out like a cannonball.
"Hmm?"
His strike was successful, but Cang Xuansheng felt that something was not right as he looked at his own palm.
"This is a powerful True Divine strike indeed!"
From the ashes, Fang Yuan's figure walked out. He dusted his chest. Now that his shirt was tattered, his golden metallic skin was revealed and there was the print of a palm on his chest, but he had sustained no injuries.
"The martial arts Divine Body? No! You have not reached the realm of True Divine. How can you cultivate such a strong physical body? This is unbelievable!"
Cang Xuansheng's eyes glistened. He knew that he had underestimated this opponent.
"There are many more unbelievable things that you do not know of!"
Fang Yuan twisted his head, creating loud cracking noises from his joints. With that, his entire figure seemed to have grown taller. "I have started my path of cultivation as a martial artist. I can finally put what I have learnt all these years in today's fight!"
"Rumble!"
In the next moment, the Nine Transference Mystical Technique was activated and 8 spiritual meridians formed behind Fang Yuan's back, forming a blurred figure.
"How can an 8th Meridian Wu Zong have such power?"
Cang Xuansheng glared at Fang Yuan and walked forward, turning his palms into the shape of a knife. "The Overbearing Sun Knife! Seven Death Ultimate Strike!"
"Chi! Chi!"
The devastating sword radiance appeared once more like how a sun would rise over the horizon. Its flames started to cover Fang Yuan in the sun.
The sword energy started to strike across.
The earth shook and cracks started to form on the ground as though someone had run an iron plough through it.
"Bang! Bang!"
Fang Yuan's body was smashed into the ground, forming a huge crater. He flipped himself up and sighed. "My martial arts is still too weak compared to a True Divine..."
"This is impossible!"
Witnessing this scene, Cang Xuansheng's heart shook.
Although he was using his bare hands, he had trained his sword energy for many years and had formed it by absorbing energy from the sun. With it, he had killed many powerful people before and had overpowered many powerful weapons as well. However, he could do nothing to damage this hardy physical body in front of him.
"Considering your potential, if you take up the path of a martial artist, you will surely overtake me in terms of cultivation. However, as a dream master from the Realm Alliance, I cannot let you walk out of here alive!"
Cang Xuansheng gazed at Fang Yuan and took a deep breath as though he can come to a conclusion.
"Roar! Roar!"
His body started to expand and within moments, he had grown to a much large build.
Behind him, clouds gathered, forming an illusionary figure of a martial artist. It was a person with a tortoise's back holding a snake and seemed like a legendary ancient martial artist.
"The Xuan Wu Divine Body?"
Seeing this, a hint of excitement flashed across Fang Yuan's eyes. "Watch out for my eagle claw!"
He flew forward. A strong surge of energy flowed from his chest to his arms, from his arms to his claws. With that, he struck 13 claw consecutively and his powerful claws seemed to even rip the air apart.
"Bang! Bang!"
Deafening scratching sounds landed on Cang Xuansheng's body, but they did not seem to be able to harm him.
"My Xuan Wu Divine Body specialises in defence. You cannot do anything to me..."
Cang Xuansheng's Xuan Wu Giant mumbled something before landed a punch on Fang Yuan's head.
"Bang!"
How intense would the punch of a True Divine be?
Where Fang Yuan stood, there was another huge crater. Cracks appeared and started to spread out from the crater.
"Great! Strike me again!"
Fang Yuan crawled on the ground and stood up. Shaking his head, he laughed hysterically and leapt forward once more.
"Hmm? This is the pure brute force of the physical body... How can a human's body be so strong?"
Cang Xuansheng began to suspect something. Without holding back, he landed another punch on Fang Yuan's chest, fusing the elements of tremor, shatter and tearing into his punch. At that moment, all of these exploded in Fang Yuan's body.
Unfortunately, Fang Yuan's body reacted in the same way it did previously. Without stopping, Fang Yuan made his way towards Cang Xuansheng once more.
"You're a freak!"
Cang Xuansheng exclaimed. Although he was utterly shocked, he did not hesitate. Varying his punches, he landed multiple strikes on Fang Yuan's body.
There were continuous shocking explosions heard.
Under the attack of a True Divine, although Fang Yuan had a strong physical body, he could not retaliate. In an instant, he had become a sandbag as he was being punched continuously.
The Ultimate Witch Body was an impressive body to begin with. Immense strikes which would shatter the bones of normal humans would only do so much as to scratch the surface of the Ultimate Witch Body. With the continuous strikes, Fang Yuan began to gain experience and now, he could slowly retaliate one strike in every ten strikes. His combat experience started to increase in real time.
"Alright... come again!"
Fang Yuan broke into laughter as he struck once more. Although his mouth was full of blood, he was enjoying himself.
The punch of a True Divine was like a smash from an iron hammer. With the strikes, Fang Yuan's martial arts elemental energy started to transform into gold!
