Chapter 305: Nie Di, Master of the Star, Fifteen Dragon Men

Fang Yu's cultivation base had now reached great completion; he had brought both the Great Five Elements Art and the Great Cutting Art to perfect mastery, especially his Great Five Elements Art, which had absorbed several Five Elements Sacred Beasts comparable to the Golden Core Realm—or even those who had survived the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation—its power terrifyingly immense, sufficient to kill opponents across multiple realms.

Yet now Meng Shaobai was blustering before him, claiming he didn't know what kind of torment Fang Yu would suffer if captured—this was utterly foolish. Fang Yu immediately unleashed the Great Cutting Art and the Great Five Elements Art, instantly reducing Meng Shaobai to grievous injury, leaving him unable to flee.

Fang Yu spoke no further words; he simply reached out and seized the dying Meng Shaobai, pouring forth his magic power into Meng Shaobai's mind to read his memories.

"Wushengjian Sect, Great Slaughter Art."

Soon, Fang Yu found what he sought.

Between heaven and earth, there is always a thread of life—this is the Great Expansion Number, incomplete by one yet alive with motion. But Meng Shaobai's cultivation of the Wusheng Killing Dao forcibly defied heaven, extinguishing all life, using absolute killers to forge absolute killing postures. None in heaven or earth could match it.

This was the legacy Meng Shaobai had received: this young immortal of Yuhua Sect had obtained the ultimate killing sword art from the ancient Gujian Sect—the Wushengjian Sect's Great Slaughter Art, one of the Three Thousand Great Dao.

Fang Yu searched Meng Shaobai's spiritual sea and directly obtained the Great Slaughter Art.

It was as if sleep had come and someone delivered a pillow: Fang Yu had been worried his cultivation lacked supreme Divine Abilities and above-level Dao arts, yet Meng Shaobai had come to provoke him. Without hesitation, Fang Yu seized the Great Slaughter Art from Meng Shaobai's mind.

"What have you done to me?"

Meng Shaobai had not yet processed any of this—he remembered only that he had intended to unleash the Wusheng Killing Sword to severely punish this fellow disciple of Yuhua Sect, but then the man named Fang Yu had violently shaken his spiritual sense, seized him midair, and seemingly performed soul-searching.

This was unimaginable.

At this moment, Meng Shaobai was furious enough to explode.

As a young immortal of Yuhua Sect, he had received countless strokes of fortune since beginning cultivation; at barely sixteen, while others struggled to reach the Divine Ability Secret Realm, he had already attained the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, Return to Oneness Realm. Now, his cultivation base had reached the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities, Golden Core Realm—yet now he was subdued, seized in midair.

This was a great humiliation.

The instant he realized what had happened, Meng Shaobai conceived the idea of self-destructing his Golden Core to fight Fang Yu to the death.

"Meng Shaobai, had you not been a disciple of Yuhua Sect, you would already be dead. Before me, you have no chance to self-destruct. Go."

Fang Yu keenly sensed Meng Shaobai's intent to self-destruct; he immediately waved his hand and hurled Meng Shaobai away.

Yuhua Sect's rules were often ignored, but sometimes they had to be slightly followed—especially when it came to true disciples fighting to the death outside the sect. If the Zhang Sect or Elders learned of it, the repercussions would be troublesome.

True disciples must settle life-or-death disputes on the Tian Xing Platform.

Otherwise, if a true disciple killed another outside the sect, the impact would be far too vile. If unpunished, future disciples would slaughter each other the moment they left the sect—would there be any dignity left for Xiandao Sect Sects? Any decorum for Xiandao Sect disciples?

This was not permitted.

Fang Yu felt that if he killed Meng Shaobai here, it would surely reach the ears of Yuhua Sect's Zhang Sect and Elders. So this time, he merely seized one of Meng Shaobai's Divine Abilities and then threw him out.

"Fine, Fang Yu, I'll remember you."

Meng Shaobai clenched his teeth as if etching Fang Yu's name into his soul; then he pulled out a large gourd of elixirs, swallowed them all at once, and shot away as a blade of light.

"I never expected you, Brother Fang, to possess such cultivation. I heard Meng Shaobai had reached the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities, Golden Core Realm, yet your cultivation is only the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities—two realms lower—and yet you defeated him so easily. If this spreads, you will surely become famous throughout the world."
