Cultivating To Immortality

"Kid, today I'll show you the true use of an Immortal Artifact, and let you."

As the Skull Masked Man spoke, he frantically poured the spiritual enegry within his body into the dark longsword.

After absorbing a large amount of spiritual energy, the black longsword's demonic light became even more intense, and the sword body began to tremble slightly, emitting a low hum.

Buzz.

However, before the Skull Masked Man could even finish his sentence, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed before his eyes, moving so fast that he had no time to react.

The Skull Masked Man only felt a sharp pain in his forehead, and then, his consciousness began to rapidly blur.

He saw a black longsword had pierced through his head, with black electrical arcs coiling around its body – it was precisely the nirvana divine thunder sword in Fang Hong's hand.

The Skull Masked Man's eyes instantly widened, filled with terror and disbelief.

He looked at Fang Hong in front of him, and only then did he notice a pair of white-gold wings had appeared behind Fang Hong at some unknown point.

"An Immortal... an Immortal Artifact. You actually.."

The Skull Masked Man laboriously spat out these few words, his eyes filled with despair.

The dark longsword in his hand lost the support of spiritual energy and fell to the ground with a clank. The demonic light on the sword body quickly faded, and he could no longer wield it.

"Your speed is too slow," Fang Hong said expressionlessly, then kicked the Skull Masked Man away.

"Ahhhh. Ahhhhh."

Piercing screams echoed through the Immortal Mansion's main hall. The Nirvana Divine Thunder, like a cancerous growth attached to his bones, instantly enveloped the Skull Masked Man completely.

The destructive lightning constantly surged, each flash accompanied by bone-chilling agony, plunging him into an extreme torment worse than death.

"Su-such fast speed. Daoist Fang also has an Immortal Artifact?"

Azure Emperor's eyes widened, her face filled with shock, her gaze fixed on Fang Hong.

When Fang Hong made his move just now, she didn't even see a shadow.

In just a blink of an eye, the Skull Masked Man's head was pierced, a strength that completely exceeded her imagination.

Su Shan stood by, equally dumbfounded, her gaze constantly on Fang Hong.

But even after the Skull Masked Man's head bled and he fell to the ground, she still didn't understand how Fang Hong had made his move.

She only felt that the speed was extremely fast, completely beyond her comprehension.

Fang Hong gave the Skull Masked Man no chance to breathe, his gaze cold and decisive.

He flipped his wrist, and the black demon soul banner immediately flew out.

Countless ghostly figures and wronged souls swayed on the banner, descending from the sky with a whooshing sound, and then plunged into the Skull Masked Man with a thud.

"Ahhhh."

Another heart-wrenching scream rang out. The demon soul banner on the Skull Masked Man's body suddenly erupted with a powerful suction force.

The Skull Spirit appeared, forcibly drawing out the Skull Masked Man's soul.

As his soul was extracted, the Skull Masked Man's screams grew fainter.

Finally, all sound ceased, and his body went limp on the ground, completely still.

Fang Hong's fingers quickly moved, casting several golden talismans one after another.

After circling in the air, those talismans all landed on the demon soul banner, firmly locking the Skull Masked Man's soul within the banner to prevent it from escaping or self-destructing.

After doing all this, he raised his hand and, with a gesture, retrieved the demon soul banner into his body, intending to interrogate this wisp of soul slowly later.

With the Skull Masked Man completely defeated by Fang Hong, the grand conspiracy surrounding the Immortal Mansion finally came to an end.

"Daoist Fang, you are truly amazing. This time, the two of us didn't help at all; we just watched the whole time."

Azure Emperor and Su Shan flew to Fang Hong's side together, their faces filled with embarrassment, even a little shy to speak.

After all, they had initially thought they could fight side by side, but they ended up not being able to intervene at all, with Fang Hong handling everything alone.

"It's a good thing I refined an Immortal Artifact some time ago. If not for this Immortal Artifact, this battle today would have been dangerous, and whether we could have won is hard to say," Fang Hong said with a smile.

The three turned their heads and looked around, only to see the ground of the main hall littered with the relics left by various cultivators.

Broken clothes were scattered everywhere, many Storage Pouches rolled into corners, and some damaged spiritual artifacts flickered with faint spiritual light.

The scene was a mess, exuding a strong sense of desolation.

"Alas, these cultivators are truly tragic."

"They came to the Immortal Mansion with great joy, thinking there were opportunities everywhere that could elevate their cultivation. But who could have imagined that what awaited them was not opportunity, but deadly demise."

Su Shan looked at the scene before her, couldn't help but sigh softly, filled with emotion.

Azure Emperor also nodded, her expression solemn as she said, "Yes, after this battle, the high-level cultivators of the Azure Holy Continent are almost all dead."

"Without these top-tier combat powers, the situation on the continent is bound to change drastically, and who knows what kind of chaos it will become in the future."

"Life and death are fated. Since the high-level Old Ancestors of these sects have already fallen, then from now on, the entire Azure Holy Continent should be the domain of our Azure Emperor Holy Land."

"We can take this opportunity to develop and expand the Holy Land," Fang Hong said bluntly, not hiding his ambition.

Upon hearing this, Azure Emperor immediately nodded slightly in agreement.

"Daoist Fang is right, this is indeed an excellent opportunity for our Holy Land's development."

"As long as we can successfully annex those sects that have lost their high-level combat power, and gradually unify the entire Azure Holy Continent, given time, the Holy Land might truly become an existence like the second Misty Immortal Mansion."

Boom. Boom. Boom.

Just as the three were envisioning the future, suddenly, Little Rainbow, floating in mid-air, showed signs of abnormality.

The colorful light surrounding its body became even more brilliant and dazzling, with streaks of colorful flowing light constantly circulating around it.

An extremely powerful aura, centered around it, slowly spread out, instantly permeating every corner of the entire main hall.

"Such a terrifying aura. Daoist Fang, is your Spiritual Beast about to advance?"

Azure Emperor felt Little Rainbow's powerful aura, her face suddenly changed, filled with shock.

The aura Little Rainbow was emitting at this moment was much more terrifying than the Skull Masked Man's aura just now.

Even the powerful Fang Hong, upon feeling this aura, also felt a chill in his heart. A powerful pressure surged towards him, making him feel a little startled.

This time in the Immortal Mansion, Little Rainbow devoured millions of Demon Locusts in one go, and those Demon Locusts were powerful enough to rival True Immortal cultivators.

By this calculation, it was equivalent to Little Rainbow devouring a True Immortal Rank existence in one go.
