Chapter 400: Slaying the Demon God

Who is it?

In the instant of the attack, Uve Auguste was momentarily bewildered.

He didn't know these two people at all!

Nor had he connected them to Fang Xing.

Not to mention that the cultivator's avatar was fundamentally a different person from Fang Xing.

Moreover, the original body first transformed blood qi into spiritual energy via the 【Immortal Warrior】 method, altering his aura, and then concealed his appearance and energy with secret techniques from the 【Heavenly Demon Nine Strategies】.

Finally, he even had the Black Death Ship transform into a mask covering his face.

Of course Uve Auguste couldn't recognize him.

Even in his memory, Fang Xing had tenth-tier combat power but still had to wear armor to fight—these two men in front of him weren't even in powered suits.

Besides… Fang Xing was still far away in the Fire Luo Star Cluster, being hunted by a massive force of Fire Luo elites!

At the instant he was struck by the mental assault, Uve Auguste hesitated half a beat.

Even so, his body instantly swelled into a giant of light dozens of meters tall, resisting the eruption of stellar flames.

The 【Radiance】 ability resembled Gu Jianwu's 【Light Transformation】—both were top-tier light abilities, even stronger!

Long before reaching Golden Core, Uve Auguste had completed energy transmutation; now he was no longer even a flesh-and-blood lifeform.

In the giant's hands, two hexagonal shields materialized, blocking the spear's advances.

At the same time, he frantically called for help from the 【Omniscient Brain】, the 【Public Security Bureau】, the 【Prevention Bureau】, and every high-tier powerhouse he knew!

Yet none of these messages were sent out—as if the entire Auguste Estate had been severed from the world.

Kill!

Fang Xing's spear tip erupted in blinding light, like a planet exploding into a star, radiating piercing brilliance that melted away most of the Light Giant.

But in the next instant, the Light Giant instantly restored itself and swung down its colossal light shield.

Does the 【Radiance】 ability have a recovery effect too?

Flames erupted around Fang Xing's body; the tenth-tier base power from his armor, combined with his own mastery of the Fire Dao, made him a true tenth-tier powerhouse!

On his spear, streams of stellar flames capable of burning through empty space appeared; he instantly became a giant of fire, each spear thrust striking the same pinpoint on the shield.

After three strikes, the light shield was pierced clean through.

What kind of spear technique is this?

Uve Auguste grew more astonished with every clash.

This flame giant gave him the eerie feeling of a tenth-tier martial artist!

No!

He was slightly weaker than a tenth-tier martial artist—more like a tenth-tier gravity ability user!

In every exchange, the sudden gravity distortions twisted space, making his counter-movements deform into absurd, gaping openings.

If Duanhai had broken through into a tenth-tier ability user, it would feel something like this…

But… why do I have such a terrifying enemy?

…

The demonic aura is growing stronger.

Compared to the original body's battle with Uve Auguste, Fang Xing's cultivator avatar struck without regret.

Only when his sword shattered empty space did he realize that Salin's demonic aura was even denser than Uve's.

All he could do now was unleash the last sliver of spiritual energy from his Nascent Soul, making this strike blaze with ultimate brilliance!

Compared to the governor Uve, Salin was merely an ordinary eighth-tier professional.

He was no match for this ninth-tier Nascent Soul cultivator.

But Salin's condition was deeply wrong.

Wave after wave of demonic corruption, mixed with cataclysmic mental assaults, surged like a tidal wave.

His form drifted through empty space, appearing and vanishing without obstruction, dancing amid the void storm—each time just barely escaping being swallowed.

It looked like walking a tightrope, but he was utterly in control.

Precognition ability?

Bad news: the demon is inside you… Good news: this demon has only rank, no real power!

The cultivator avatar's eyes brightened.

He himself was in the same situation.

Altogether, he now had confidence to kill Salin!

Because Salin was only eighth-tier, while he was ninth-tier—and he possessed tenth-tier techniques!

Even accounting for the demon, this one had only its rank left, barely able to emit mental assaults and corruption.

It wasn't just crippled—it was barely a step from death!

【As for rank, my Great Sun Tathagata Mantra can neutralize it…】

【The rest I fear not—kill him immediately!】

Fang Xing's eyes turned crimson; a great sun mark appeared on his forehead.

The foreign demonic corruption swirling around him, sinking into his body, fiercely polluting his Nascent Soul—burned away in an instant!

—Great Sun Tathagata Mantra!

After the original body reached perfection in this mantra, he infused it into the cultivator avatar.

Now, with the cultivator avatar wielding it, it possessed six or seven tenths of the original body's power.

It formed a Great Sun furnace, incinerating all demonic corruption in moments.

The Rusty Sword suddenly emitted a clear chime!

Fang Xing suddenly felt a certain suppression in empty space vanish; his blade's edge was utterly clean.

A flash of swordlight arose, carrying an ethereal quality.

It was a technique from the 【Spiritual Void Sword Scripture】.

A single strike sent countless gold-and-silver inscriptions flying; empty space itself seemed to freeze.

Salin's smug expression froze on his face.

Clang!

A streak of swordlight shattered empty space, striking directly before Salin, piercing the broken screen.

On the screen, new lines of text appeared:

【… subjected to… ■■■■ contamination… suppression paused…】【… negotiation… interests… secrets…】

Laplace's Demon?!

The moment Fang Xing saw the broken screen, countless snowflake-like black-and-white dots and irregular hexagons flashed in his mind; vast information surged forth.

Among it were countless chaotic, useless fragments that confused consciousness, and also basic information about this foreign demon.

Even fragments from the previous battle!

It's you!

His eyes brightened—he hadn't expected his random ambush to perfectly coincide with the Federation's crackdown, crushing the last spark of life from this foreign demon!

【Is this… fate?】

Fang Xing sighed inwardly, but his swordlight was razor-sharp, slicing Salin into a thousand pieces, leaving not the faintest trace of spiritual imprint.

On the broken screen, a slow-cut sword scar emerged, obscuring the text that had been about to appear.

Boom!

Meanwhile, on the nearby battlefield.

Behind Fang Xing, a Great Sun Tathagata form appeared, radiant as a star.

The Great Sun Tathagata form stood solemn, forming the Dharma Seal, then thrusting forward a palm before vanishing instantly.

Tenth Form of the Great Sun Tathagata Palm—Great Sun Nirvana!

Infinite light!

Infinite life!

Then… light extinguished; dreadful darkness descended, instantly engulfing Uve Auguste.

Great Sun Tathagata Palm?

Who are you? Which professor from Blue Star University?

Uve's Radiance ability suffered heavy damage; tiny specks of solar gold flame fell, burning even the light itself!

He screamed and retreated from his Light Giant form.

Beneath his mask, Fang Xing's expression was icy; his spear flashed across Uve's chest.

The Fire Dao combined with solar gold flame formed a Great Sun furnace, completely refining Uve.

Every cell, every strand of light…

After one spear thrust, he didn't pause—he slammed his palm onto the screen fragments.

Boom!

Fang Xing's original body was a Martial God!

A profession developed by the Blue Star Human Federation, specifically designed to exterminate foreign demons.

To utterly kill a foreign demon, one must rely on one's own overwhelming martial will.

At this moment, his third eye's Great Sun relic rotated slowly; his martial will pierced heaven and earth, merging with the unnamed diagram's martial runes to form the Great Sun Tathagata form.

The Great Sun Tathagata form clasped its palms together, then transformed into a Buddha blade.

"Kill! Kill kill!"

The Buddha blade ignored all defenses and slashed directly into the shattered screen.

Fang Xing suddenly felt his will collide with an impossibly solid wall.

He was not alarmed—he rejoiced.

'If this were the true form of the Outer Demon God, my will, though high in essence, lacks quantity... it might feel like striking a star... or like a flame unable to burn an entire lake!'

'But now, this Outer Demon God has already been grievously wounded, barely clinging to life... even its will is this way—riddled with holes, weakened countlessfold.'

'This is fate's guidance—you shall perish here!'

He roared, and his martial will surged again.

Crack!

Crack!

As Fang Xing threw all his strength into it, the wall before his will suddenly sprouted countless cracks.

Then... it shattered with a roar!

Splash!

In an instant, like a dam collapsing, a terrifying flood surged forth!

Fang Xing was instantly submerged by this flood.

The essence of the demon god is madness.

Even though the Laplace Demon appeared highly rational, its essence remained madness!

Now, after the blade shattered its core, countless demonic essences, laced with terrifying madness, surged forth and flooded into Fang Xing's own mind-sea.

'My heart is a furnace... refine!'

His eyes turned crimson in an instant; the perfected Grand Master's Sun Tathagata Spell roared into motion, forming a molten furnace that refined the countless Outer Demon God essences.

Crack!

The shattered screen, somehow transferred into Fang Xing's mind-sea, now bore a sword mark and a knife mark crossing each other, then spreading into countless cracks before exploding into fragments.

As it shattered, countless True Sun Flames instantly wrapped the fragments, struggling to refine them.

'The Sun Tathagata Spell has always been unstoppable—this is the first time I've felt such difficulty.'

Fang Xing was inwardly startled.

Though progress was slow, he was still slowly refining the essence of an Outer Demon God!

Even the former Sun Demon God would have found this nearly impossible!

As refinement progressed, the many effects of the Sun Tathagata Spell began to manifest.

Waves of inexplicable information surged through Fang Xing's mind, delivering overwhelming shock:

【Fate Law...】

【Chaos Fire is the union of order and disorder... thus giving birth to the Lord of Entropy and the Laplace Demon...】

【The Creator does not wish for Tenth Realm martial artists to appear, because Tenth Realm martial artists...】

Headache, update delayed
