In the Taiyuan Star Palace, the four individuals were diligently absorbing the cultivation techniques they had acquired, each utilizing Shi Qingyuan's Danqi to practice the celestial arts most suited to them. Meanwhile, the Future Seer, unnoticed by anyone, chuckled lightly and vanished into thin air. Shi Qingyuan was focused on balancing the energy of Danqi; although he sensed the disappearance of the Future Seer, he had no time to address it. Despite having encountered this Earth boy twice, Shi Qingyuan increasingly felt that Fang Lin Kong was quite mysterious.
On Earth, Fang Lin Kong finally caught up with the leader of the True Flame Sect and Camberto. However, the sudden mutation of the White Whale Born left Fang Lin Kong greatly astonished. Although he had no particular connection with this monster, an enemy's enemy could become an ally. Upon seeing Fang Lin Kong appear, the White Whale Born, who was on the verge of being obliterated by Darsin King, felt a surge of hope; in its eyes, Fang Lin Kong's abilities were almost magnified infinitely. As the White Whale Born cried out for help, Camberto and True Flame Sect Leader Dongfang attacked Fang Lin Kong together.
"If the White Whale Born is killed, I will have to confront three enemies. If I save it once, at least I can alleviate some pressure," Fang Lin Kong calculated and without hesitation separated the Four Treasures of the Demon Gate. The four Yuan Shen attached to the Four Treasures of the Demon Gate confronted Camberto and True Flame Sect Leader while Fang Lin Kong joined forces with the White Whale Born to battle Darsin King.
In Fang Lin Kong's mind, Camberto was somewhat akin to Kyo Kusanagi and had some skills. True Flame Sect Leader Dongfang had just suffered a crushing defeat at his hands, which made Fang Lin Kong underestimate him a bit. As for Darsin King, he was an inexplicable enemy that made him particularly furious. Therefore, he sent the Yuan Shen from Hundred Escape Spirit Control Seal and Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner to surround Camberto while sending those from Taiyin God-Slaying Trident and Nine Heavens Primordial Demon Flame to entangle Eastern Sect Leader.
"As long as I kill Darsin King, everything will be fine! I'm not afraid of Camberto; that leader is nothing but trash."
The True Fire of the Rabbit enveloped the sword light derived from his Innate Sword Artifact. The moment Fang Lin Kong laid eyes on Darsin King, he struck with lethal intent. Although Darsin King had been gaining the upper hand against the White Whale Born in their battle, he was not entirely unscathed. With Fang Lin Kong's intervention, he hastily unleashed his divine domain. Nevertheless, he was still wounded by Fang Lin Kong's attack and roared in fury.
Camberto and Eastern Sect Leader found themselves besieged by four separate Fang Lin Kongs and were nearly thrown into disarray. "Although this clone technique isn't anything extraordinary as a spell, these clones possess power equivalent to Divine Extremity; this is far from normal." The Eternal Demon Suppression Scripture was an incredibly intricate and profound technique within Demon Gate; its cultivation process was arduous, and finding treasures that could merge with split Yuan Shen was exceedingly rare. Even the predecessors who created this method in Demon Gate never had a chance to cultivate a ninth Yuan Shen as exaggerated as this. The Hundred Escape Spirit Control Seal, Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner, Taiyin God-Slaying Trident, and Nine Heavens Primordial Demon Flame all evolved at the moment Fang Lin Kong stepped into Divine Extremity using Shi Qingyuan's Danqi, increasing their power beyond their original capabilities.
The two Yuan Shen clones confronting Camberto were one standing on a peculiar cloud seat radiating endless light like a demon king; with a snap of his fingers, seven secret treasures—Light Boundary, Sighing Darkness, Demon Abyss Thunder, Primordial Deluge, Land of Life, Heavenly Strike Divine Wood, Eternal Demon Gold—unleashed tremendous power in succession around Camberto. The other clone resembled a demonic commander who summoned countless divine birds and magical beasts with mere thoughts; some breathed flames while others summoned winds and thunder or clawed fiercely without fear of Camberto's protective Black Flame.
Completely at a disadvantage and being pursued by two enemies, Camberto thought bitterly: "If only the Underworld Black Dragon Legion were still here; with these treasures assisting me, how could I fear these two clones?" However, that was merely wishful thinking; at this moment, his only reliable support was his formidable cultivation.
Eastern Sect Leader fared even worse than Camberto. Fang Lin Kong subconsciously believed that among the Four Treasures of the Demon Gate there would be varying levels of power. He thought that Taiyin God-Slaying Trident and Nine Heavens Primordial Demon Flame were inferior to Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner and Hundred Escape Spirit Control Seal. However, in reality, it was quite the opposite. The Great Freedom Heaven Realm Seven Treasures Banner and Hundred Escape Spirit Control Seal were treasures designed for brute force; when faced with difficult opponents, they would fall into a stalemate. In contrast, Taiyin Soul Piercer and Nine Heavens Primordial Demon Flame were targeted treasures; the former’s Yuan Shen incarnation wielded extraordinary martial skills while the latter’s Yuan Shen incarnation excelled at absorbing others' soul power. When encountering enemies whose attributes countered them directly, these two treasures could unleash their powers much more rapidly.
The Black Flame cultivated by True Flame Sect happened to be countered by Nine Heavens Primordial Demon Flame. Thus it didn't take long for Fang Lin Kong's Yuan Shen incarnation surrounded by white flames to suddenly pounce onto Eastern Sect Leader while wielding Taiyin Soul Piercer; black and white flames intertwined and burned fiercely as this cult leader who single-handedly founded True Flame Sect screamed in agony while struggling desperately—merely stalling for time.
In the sky above the sea surface, the battle tilted overwhelmingly in one direction. Jinshi Yi, who had been cultivating underwater, was startled awake. When he extended his consciousness into the sky, he perceived both sides of combat as targets for elimination. Among them stood out prominently was Fang Lin Kong who had split into four Yuan Shen forms; Jinshi Yi recognized him as an enemy since he had blocked Jinshi Yi's pursuit of Shi Qingyuan earlier. Half of his injuries were inflicted by Future Seer. Just like others who had encountered these two entities from different timelines but sharing one essence before him, Jinshi Yi also combined their accounts into one.
Although Jinshi Yi hadn't recovered much strength yet, Fang Lin Kong appeared alone with enemies surrounding him—a rare opportunity indeed! Jinshi Yi immediately resolved to act silently; bursting forth from beneath the sea surface with a wave of his hands unleashed hundreds of Calamity Thunder towards Fang Lin Kong and his Yuan Shen clones.
Fang Lin Kong remained unaware that Future Seer had drawn this powerful enemy toward him. Thus at that initial moment when he reacted quickly enough to defend himself—neither his sword light nor Four Treasures of the Demon Gate could withstand Calamity Thunder’s ferocious bombardment. Attacks that Yuan Qian Kun and Future Seer could handle effortlessly overwhelmed Fang Lin Kong completely.
Neither his Innate Sword Artifact nor Spatial Seven Laws could compare with Yuan Qian Kun's seasoned experience or Future Seer's adeptness. His body along with all four Yuan Shen clones sustained injuries simultaneously. Startled by this turn of events, Fang Lin Kong hurriedly recalled his Yuan Shen clones while activating all defensive barriers.
At first hesitant about proceeding due to uncertainties regarding Future Seer's abilities—especially now that energy levels plummeted—Jinshi Yi lacked absolute confidence in delivering a killing blow against him. However when Fang Lin Kong fully committed to defense mode instead of offense during this crucial moment where Jinshi Yi felt reassured; such conservative tactics from an enemy were what he favored most since Calamity Thunder’s might was already vast beyond measure—if not cleverly mitigated through cunning means or brute force confrontation—Fang Lin Kong stood no chance whatsoever.
In an instant everything reversed as Fang Lin Kong found himself battered by this inexplicable foe until he crashed down from sky into earth below amidst chaos. Despite several attempts to flee from danger—Jinshi Yi’s speed proved too swift for him to escape.
Darsin King had just been thoroughly beaten by Fang Lin Kong, but now, seeing Fang Lin Kong in trouble, he couldn't help but smile broadly. Eastern Sect Leader was somewhat calculating; this newcomer was unfamiliar to them, and if he were to kill Fang Lin Kong and then turn his attention to them, even their combined strength would be insufficient to resist.
After finally catching his breath and avoiding the misfortune of being refined by Fang Lin Kong's Nine Heavens Primordial Demon Flame, Eastern Sect Leader dared not linger. He quickly signaled Camberto for Darsin King to leave with them. Although Darsin King wanted to watch Fang Lin Kong suffer a bit longer, he feared that if Jinshi Yi killed Fang Lin Kong, he would then come after him. So he hurriedly followed Eastern Sect Leader and Camberto to escape this dangerous sea area.
White Whale Born had no fondness for either Fang Lin Kong or Jinshi Yi. Seeing Fang Lin Kong being so brutally beaten by Jinshi Yi, he refrained from cheering or celebrating, merely considering it out of respect for their shared existence as beings from Earth. He thought that since he had some acquaintance with Jinshi Yi, he wasn't worried about who would win between the two. Even if Fang Lin Kong managed to turn the tables, it wouldn't be more than a fleeting moment of triumph; his life was not in danger, and White Whale Born strangely believed this.
Despite Jinshi Yi's weakened state, Fang Lin Kong's power still far surpassed his own. If it weren't for the faint halo of starlight that had appeared around him at some unknown time, he would have been killed countless times already.
Since being refined into Danqi by Fang Lin Kong, the Starlight Bracelet's powers were still unknown to him. However, after being struck through several layers of shields, the starlight halo activated automatically to protect its master. Jinshi Yi's Calamity Thunder dissipated upon contact. Feeling something unusual, Jinshi Yi grasped with both hands, and a spear that was completely transparent with a faint blue glow appeared in his palm. This spear, composed entirely of his protective divine light, caused ripples in space even before it was unleashed due to its overwhelming energy.
As one of the most powerful races in the universe, the Zhen Dan Divine Clan possessed several common combat techniques. Like Calamity Thunder, the Destruction God Spear was also a basic application of protective divine light. However, for Earth, such immense power could rival that of a Divine Extremity sacrificing themselves in an explosion.
Faced with this crisis, Fang Lin Kong frantically urged his energy without considering how formidable an opponent Jinshi Yi was. His mind was solely focused on survival. The vast energy contained within the Danqi formed from the starlight halo was being absorbed more fiercely by Fang Lin Kong's nine Yuan Shen; it seemed to provide even stronger and faster energy as he drew more from it. The split-off Yuan Shen avatars resembled nine hollow bubbles inflated by a high-pressure pump; they couldn't immediately convert into pure energy and instead churned violently.
Fang Lin Kong didn't think about what kind of repercussions this clash would bring. For him, there could be tsunamis and earthquakes resulting in many deaths; however, there was no reason for him to sacrifice himself for others—even if such sacrifice might ultimately be meaningless.
Jinshi Yi's expression grew serious as the Destruction God Spear trembled uncontrollably while trying to lock onto all nine of Fang Lin Kong's Yuan Shen for a decisive strike. However, within the protection of the starlight halo, Fang Lin Kong's nine Yuan Shen avatars jumped back and forth through hundreds of spatial dimensions formed by the halo, making precise targeting impossible.
"Energy replenished; full form activated..." In that brief moment, the sealed memories of the Three-Headed Ancient Beast Spirit began to unravel as energy surged rapidly. The memories of Fang Lin Kong's nine Yuan Shen interconnected as he was immediately overwhelmed by an onslaught of endless images.
"So that's how it is! These... contain such enormous secrets!?"
The energy originally contained within had already reached tens of millions in value. After breaking the seal, each Three-Headed Ancient Beast Spirit erupted forth; they were cultivated as tools for traversing the universe and conquering alternate dimensions. Once fully unsealed, the Nine-Eyed Phoenix began to reveal its primal form first. A faint golden glow flowed over its colorful wings as nine divine eyes simultaneously manifested swirling iridescent lights. Its form straightened as its colorful feathers transformed into scales that emitted a soft radiance... "The War Beast of the Wuxu Tribe..." Jinshi Yi pondered in astonishment; having wandered through countless generations in the universe, he had some understanding of the strongest races within it. He thought: "The Wuxu Tribe is one of the six most mysterious and unpredictable combat races in the universe; how could their War Beasts appear on this planet? And judging by these three divine beasts' energy levels, they must be among the highest tier..."
At this critical moment for Fang Lin Kong, he wasn't thinking as deeply as Jinshi Yi.
Phoenix God: speed at 160,000 times light speed; currently 36% energy filled; energy index at 2.1 billion... damage at 27%; self-repair system activated; complete repair will take 13 hours and 56 minutes. Weapon System unusable... Thunder Emperor: speed at 70,000 times light speed; currently 51% energy filled; energy value at 1.7 billion; damage at 6%; all functions operational and can immediately enter combat mode.
Silver Core Tree: speed at 3.5 times light speed; currently 7% energy filled; energy index at 3.5 billion; defensive shield fully operational and can immediately evolve into Wood God state... As these data flashed through his mind, Fang Lin Kong hesitated no longer and quickly activated Phoenix God—the fastest option—merging all nine Yuan Shen together and charging skyward. Since the ancient beast spirits were not lacking in speed either, Fang Lin Kong swiftly changed his strategy from fighting desperately to fleeing immediately. As long as he could enter outer space, he was confident he could hold out long enough to reach Shi Qingyuan for help.
Jinshi Yi naturally couldn't allow Fang Lin Kong to escape; as soon as Fang Lin Kong merged his Yuan Shen and retracted Starlight Bracelet's power, he finally locked onto him with Destruction God Spear and ruthlessly launched it forward. The activation speed of Phoenix God was unmatched; Jinshi Yi’s Destruction God Spear was just a hair’s breadth away but only managed to trail behind Phoenix God as it sped further away.
Fang Lin Kong moved too quickly—before his mind could catch up with reality—he had already crossed beyond lunar orbit. In a panic, he failed to find his direction and shot straight up from the ecliptic plane; when he no longer sensed any threat from behind due to Destruction God Spear, Earth and its eight other planets were already out of sight.
Having successfully escaped, Fang Lin Kong felt no joy but instead recalled that moment of battle with cold sweat pouring down his back. Jinshi Yi was unlike any other powerful foe he had encountered before; his displayed abilities were simply beyond what he could withstand. Such a person… Fang Lin Kong immediately thought back to what had been detected in Heaven and Earth Wisdom Book—two formidable presences were set to arrive on Earth; having already encountered Shi Qingyuan meant that this must be the other one tracking Shi Qingyuan!
With this realization, Fang Lin Kong immediately changed his flight path. However, for reasons he himself did not fully understand, he summoned the Silver Core Tree and put away the Phoenix God. The true form of the Silver Core Tree was a massive plant sphere that began as a seed and extended endless branches, intertwining to form an olive-shaped structure fifty kilometers long and six kilometers in diameter.
The energy of the Silver Core Tree was incredibly powerful, with exceptionally high defensive capabilities. Fang Lin Kong sat at the very core of this plant sphere, observing the densely growing branches and vines around him, which wove together into countless layers of green netting. A calm green radiance flowed along the body of the Silver Core Tree, gradually extending outward. Ultimately, a gigantic spherical protective shield enveloped the Silver Core Tree.
As the Silver Core Tree slowly began to move, it did not take long to reach near Mercury. The Future Seer had left, and Shi Qingyuan did not mind. At this moment, Yuan Qian Kun and the Kunlun Three Immortals were all focused on breaking through their current realms and did not anticipate that what was coming next would be on a different level from before.
Fang Lin Kong felt a sense of relief when he saw the still-bright Danqi atop Taiyuan Star Palace and Shi Qingyuan operating this super artifact with all his might. Initially, he had feared that Shi Qingyuan had already been eliminated, as he alone could not contend with a terrifying cosmic madman like Jinshi Yi.
If anyone else had created such a grand spectacle as Fang Lin Kong did, they would surely be met with suspicion. However, both Shi Qingyuan and the Kunlun Three Immortals held an inexplicable trust in this younger generation. As Fang Lin Kong's Silver Core Tree approached Taiyuan Star Palace, the first to break through was Liexiezi, who let out a loud shout and transformed into a blood-red streak that shot out from Danqi. Seeing Fang Lin Kong nod and smile, he asked, "You’re back again!"
Shi Qingyuan was slightly surprised to see Liexiezi emerge. With his identity as an Ancient Immortal and having cultivated for over a thousand years after ascending in the Zhendans Star System, he had only just broken through to the sixth level of Starlight Body. Yet Liexiezi had managed to advance to the fifth level in just a few days. Although there was still a significant gap between them, Liexiezi could now serve as a main force in battle rather than merely alleviating external pressure as he had before.
Dan Xiazi also noticed Liexiezi's emergence and lightly scolded him before slowly floating out from Danqi. Having ascended long ago, he too had recently reached a power level comparable to the sixth level of Starlight Body. However, he chose to cultivate an alternative path with his chosen method of cultivation that focused on strengthening his physical body continuously until achieving an indestructible existence.
Azure Sky Ancestor also left Danqi. He knew that even with a year of cultivation, he would not be able to break through to the fifth level. Having ascended not long ago and following the orthodox Daoist Sect path offered him ample room for growth, he was in no rush to elevate his cultivation level; after all, time was something immortals valued least.
Fang Lin Kong quickly paid his respects to the Three Masters but did not mention where the Silver Core Tree came from; nor did the Kunlun Three Immortals inquire about it. "Fang Lin Kong even gifted them the Celestial Chapter; it's only natural for him to keep some secrets," they thought in unison.
Although Shi Qingyuan was astonished by the progress made by Kunlun Three Immortals, knowing that their combined strength could now face Jinshi Yi without fear eased his mind somewhat. Yuan Qian Kun seemed oblivious to everything around him; his silver mane billowed as his eyes remained closed in deep meditation. No one knew what realm this strongest being on Earth had currently reached.
