Chapter 636: Assassinating the King
The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty, Imperial City.
In the distance, a flash of sword light, like a white rainbow piercing the sun.
Subsequently...
came all kinds of clamor and chaos...
"Has it begun?"
Fang Xing murmured as he gazed in the direction of Lu Zhong.
The Paper House cave in his hand expanded instantaneously, and a barrier suspended between reality and illusion emerged.
The sky was a dreary gray, countless paper money fell like heavy snow upon the five giant golden figures.
Those paper figures were constantly covered with sheets, as if turning into gigantic paper effigies.
Even though the Imperial City was in chaos due to the Emperor of Great Zhou being assassinated, this situation couldn't be ignored.
Accompanied by teleportation light, several figures appeared in succession.
It was surprisingly the purple-robed leaders of the Heavenly Observation Bureau, Life Fate Bureau, and Night Watchmen.
These were three demigod-level existences!
Upon witnessing this scene, a trace of alarm and anger emerged on their faces: "Daring thief?!"
The Life Fate Bureau raised a hand, instantly causing this area of heaven and earth to seemingly freeze.
Even the gentle breeze halted, and the falling paper money appeared frozen like in ice cubes, suspended in mid-air.
—Time Stop!
Within this stillness, the Life Fate Bureau's figure flickered, transforming into a purple shadow, rushing straight towards Fang Xing.
In the next moment!
Fang Xing suddenly moved, pressing down with one hand, an odd force striking the Life Fate Bureau, causing him to lose his balance.
Following which, there was the sight of a jade-like palm.
Smack!
Fang Xing's palm descended, with the might of the Sky-covering Hand and Five-Finger Mountain, pressing upon the Heavenly Spirit of the Life Fate Bureau.
Poof!
In the next instant, the head of this demigod from the Heavenly Observation Bureau exploded open.
Rustle!
A gentle breeze blew, the air finally began to flow again.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Observation Bureau couldn't help but flinch.
This adversary seemed to have crossed that threshold, igniting Divine Fire and stepping into the realm of demigods!
Indeed!
During these years of wandering, Fang Xing had leveled up twice, now a level 25 Druid!
The Druid profession had significant milestones every five levels.
At the current level 25, he had stepped into the threshold of demigods!
Beyond level 30, one enters the realm of gods!
"Originally...I thought I could bide my time until becoming a True God, but now it seems, I underestimated the heroes of the world."
Fang Xing smiled wryly.
The military is a matter of life and death, unpredictable as shadows, moving like thunder!
This sudden action against the Outer World by the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty fit this perfectly!
However, mobilizing top-level capabilities without deploying several field corps meant that even with True Demon Lord's secret channels, Fang Xing had no intel.
"Nevertheless, uncovering cards now is acceptable, as long as those golden figures..."
Rustle!
During these moments of delay, one by one, the paper money covered the golden figures completely, with no golden light leaking out.
Then, the five golden figures disappeared simultaneously, entering Fang Xing's Paper House cave.
Bong! Bong!
At this moment, urgent bell tolls suddenly resonated from within the Imperial City!
"Impossible, the Lament Dragon Bell sounds?"
"His Majesty...has ascended to heaven!"
The Night Watchmen leader froze, then flew towards the imperial chariot without looking back.
With the death of the Great Zhou Emperor, he bore significant responsibility!
Moreover, with the core power of the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty now in a vacuum, it required immense maneuvering...
Being a somewhat self-interested demigod, he couldn't waste life battling Fang Xing, who could easily hunt demigods!
And as the Night Watchmen leader fled, the Heavenly Observation Bureau knew that the tide had turned.
"Sir...are you the mastermind behind this?"
His face appeared somewhat weary and aged, with muddled eyes fixed on Fang Xing.
Fang Xing merely smiled, a spirit light flickering over his body.
In an instant, his figure vanished.
—Natural Teleportation!
This was a new talent he gained upon reaching level 24 as a Druid, allowing teleportation to any sacred grove he created.
...
Outer World.
Feijian Sect Mountain Gate.
The bamboo sea was lush and verdant.
The Killing Life Sect left envoy, Poison Hand Scholar, White Dharma King, and Black Dharma King arrived in full force, gazing at the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty's army.
"The Great Zhou Divine Dynasty army hasn't made any major moves, these are the original garrison at Three Extremes Pass...but they've actually brought six golden figures here…"
The left envoy looked at this scene, a trace of frenzied laughter appearing on his face: "If I fight to the death, I might manage to drag one or two, offering them as sacrifice to our Lord."
"Damn it, why must we fight here, protecting Nature Sect's spirit plants?"
The White and Black protectors couldn't comprehend.
"Because…it's a divine command!"
Poison Hand Scholar said softly.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem."
The Black Dharma King let out a fierce smile: "Let's offer our Lord His most cherished sacrifice here..."
Boom! Boom!
The six gigantic golden figures moved slowly, each step causing a minor earthquake seemingly.
At this moment, within the sacred grove of the Feijian Sect, tens of thousands of acres of bamboo sea bubbled, natural spirit light spewed forth, forming a portal.
Fang Xing emerged from within.
Although he had traveled for a long time, he hadn't aged a bit.
"Having wandered through half of my life, I return still as a youth..."
Fang Xing chose Feijian Sect's location closest to Three Extremes Pass as his teleportation point, knowing the situation was critical.
Upon seeing the Ruthless Scholar bringing all of Killing Life Sect's resources from the Outer World here, he couldn't help but feel satisfied with his work.
"Lord Fang Xing!"
The Ruthless Scholar bowed: "The Great Zhou army is closing in, what should we do now?"
His tone was calm, and even if Fang Xing ordered him to fight to the death, he likely wouldn't hesitate.
This is the terror of the fanatic!
"Six golden statues, very good... now it's complete."
Fang Xing flew out of Feijian Sect territory, standing in mid-air, looking at the six golden statues and the Great Zhou generals on the opposite side, a faint smile appeared on his lips: "Everything must come to an end."
"Is this person... the old ancestor of the Natural Sect?"
On the back of a peculiar demon beast, a Great Zhou guard looked at Fang Xing and immediately recalled information from the Outer World.
"Just a mere Yang God Post Realm, yet dares stand before my Great Zhou heavenly soldiers?"
The Great Zhou general smiled coldly, even if the Ruthless Scholar was desperately praying for divine grace, he was merely a demigod-level warrior.
Now the advantage lies with him, how could the enemy possibly turn the tide?
...
All of this was clearly seen by Fang Xing inside the Divine Country.
"Destruction... you are secretly plotting to assassinate the progeny of the Main God?"
Outside the Divine Country, the Lord of War let out a thunderous roar, actually taking the initiative to enter the Divine Country.
After all, a True God would never let their true self leave the Divine Country.
Therefore, what they send are divine incarnations.
Although the incarnation of a Divine is very precious, if it dies, the divine power would greatly diminish.
If too many die, it might even fall into slumber like Fang Xing's true self.
Yet it's much better than the true self perishing.
Now, Fang Xing's scheme clearly enraged the Great Zhou Divine System.
These Great Zhou Divines have decided to pay any price to completely breach the God of Destruction's Divine Country!
Boom!
In the dark Divine Country, within the Destruction Zone.
Scenes of war shadows emerged, like a torrent of steel, washing over the land.
Fortunately, Fang Xing originally had few petitioners, otherwise, he would have suffered significant losses to his Divine Country's foundation.
In the void, traces of shadows appeared.
It's the Shadow and the God of Thieves, who skillfully leapt with daggers in hand, slicing the throats of several destruction beasts.
The small dagger was insignificant compared to the massive bodies of the destruction beasts, but the paralysis and lethal attack effects attached to it made these beasts fall, dying instantly!
"God of Destruction's divine power hasn't fully recovered since his last slumber..."
"This time the cost for us should be less than expected..."
The Goddess of Love's face showed a hint of joy.
If a Divine's true self is killed, then it has truly fallen!
"Destruction... come out and fight!"
The God of War transformed into a towering war giant, looking at the ruined Temple, at the youth sitting on the Destruction Throne, he let out a roar.
He had once punched the God of Destruction, now he was very confident, even in the enemy's Divine Country!
In the Divine Country of War, the horns have already sounded, and a large number of elite troops have mobilized.
Moreover, the Lord of War is already prepared to let all his incarnations perish in battle here!
This day's battle must result in Godslayer!
"War God... our battlefield is not here."
On the Destruction Throne, Fang Xing's true self smiled lightly, then his figure turned into a meteor and began to fall.
"What?"
'Shadow and the God of Thieves' was shocked upon seeing this: "He's... he's abandoning the Divine Country? The true self leaving the Divine Country... descending into the mortal world?"
"Haha... this rat seeks death!"
The War God laughed.
If a True God gains strong boosts in their Divine Country, descending into the mortal world instead causes terrifying suppression.
In the Destruction Divine Country, they might have to let several incarnations perish, fighting for years to finally kill the God of Destruction's true self.
But in the mortal world, the War God is confident one of his incarnations could kill the true self if they find it!
"You are courting death!"
The War God roared.
...
At the same time.
In the Outer World.
Fang Xing in the sky was startled.
It seemed a destruction meteor flashed across the sky, instantly merging into his body!
He, along with the true self, originally divided between god and demon, consciousness united.
Now, they directly fused!
"Ah!"
Fang Xing shouted, his figure instantly expanded into a massive giant!
Earth, fire, wind, and water, the four elements surrounded him, making his 'Natural Incarnation' aura climb continuously, like a God!
No! Now he is a God!
This is his new talent obtained as a level 25 Druid—[Harmonized with Nature]!
At this moment, data on the attribute bar flickered madly:
[You have transcended into a Divine! The Divine panel is melding! Entering Saint form!]
[You have acquired an additional profession, now recalculated into your level!]
[You have obtained Divine Status abilities: Altering Reality, Divine Power Shield, Divine Power Amplification!]
