Chapter 486

Swoosh!

The pitch-black crystal seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, landing straight into Fang Xing's palm.

"The divinity crystal of a Dark angel?"

"It is full of depravity, pollution, and the conspiracy of a deity... if you want to use it, it must be purified."

Fang Xing inspected it and commented lightly.

"The divinity crystal of an angel?"

Fang Qiong looked at this scene, feeling that the Dark ether in her body was about to be triggered.

After Dai Wei was sacrificed, she had no more restraints, and the previous curse had instead become the best nourishment, making her feel that she could break through the second Great Limit at any time.

Given time, breaking through the third and fourth in the future would be a matter of course.

Could this divinity crystal be used for an Esoteric martial artist to break through the fifth Great Limit?

Esoteric martial artists are powerful, often having combat strength a major realm higher than their rank; if an angel-rank martial artist who broke the fifth Great Limit appeared, wouldn't they be able to defy and kill a deity?

'No... how could a deity be the same rank as a mortal?'

Fang Qiong shook her head to suppress this thought in her heart.

Looking again, this secret realm city from the Gulan period was collapsing rapidly.

The steel jungle of high-rise buildings turned to dust as soon as the wind blew.

Endless ether poured in, making the space here gradually become illusory.

"This is... the secret realm starting to collapse after Dai Wei's death?"

"It won't be long before this place becomes like most areas of the ether world, with only some broken walls and ruins left behind..."

Fang Qiong didn't know why, but she felt like crying.

"Do not shed tears, otherwise you will die, or fall into depravity..."

Fang Xing spoke suddenly.

"Why?" Fang Qiong resisted the urge to cry, feeling endless doubts rising in her heart.

"Because... He is here."

Fang Xing smiled and pointed to the ground.

Fang Qiong looked over and was stunned to find that she and Fang Xing were already in a shadow.

This shadow was bird-shaped, with wings and a beak, like a raven.

She looked up in astonishment, but could only see a piece of broken void: "This..."

"The Dark deity—the Shadow of the Plundering Crow; you saw Orivis ascend to angelhood, so you should know He was already nearby at that time."

Fang Xing smiled, watching the raven shadow on the ground condense and turn into a figure wearing a pitch-black cloak.

The other party wore goggles, and the mouth was a medieval doctor's bird beak, looking very much like a fusion of retro and modern styles.

'The deities of this world are different from the main universe; they don't make one distorted or crazy at first sight...'

'On the contrary, they can not only communicate, but also use schemes, and even bestow favors...'

Fang Xing's heart stirred: "Shadow of the Plundering Crow."

"Master of the Esoteric Sect, Fang Xing, I have been watching you..."

The Shadow of the Plundering Crow made a hoarse voice like a mix of a raven and a night owl, which made one feel uncomfortable upon hearing it: "On you, I cannot see fate..."

"Hehe, great deity, I wonder what business you have with a small mortal like me?"

Fang Xing spoke with a faint smile.

"Orivis was an angel I had my eye on, and you killed him..."

The Shadow of the Plundering Crow said in a hoarse voice: "Of course, I don't care about a mere angel, but I care about the attitude of mortals... you are very special; perhaps you are the true god-defiler, capable of ascending to a 'False God' on your own without the promotion of a deity..."

A fifth-ranker who is promoted by a deity and restricted by a deity is called an 'angel', and one who ascends on their own is naturally a 'False God'.

"But... the six gods are high above; don't you want to become a true deity?"

The voice of the Shadow of the Plundering Crow carried a hint of temptation; He was originally the deity in charge of depravity: "Join me... I have already tried many interesting things, and now I believe that causing a deity to fall is a very interesting and challenging thing... when the time comes, I might consider promoting you to a new deity..."

"A deity?"

Fang Qiong immediately felt her heart tremble violently: "Can Ah Xing... become a god?"

"Hehe... worthy of being the deity in charge of the Dark; once I agree, I'm afraid I will immediately fall into depravity, right?"

Fang Xing sneered and shook his head: "It seems that Dai Wei here was a trap you laid long ago, and as for which one it pits against, it all depends on the guidance of fate... you tricked Orivis, you tricked the History deity, and that wasn't enough; you even wanted to trick me?"

"In that case, you are going to refuse my kindness."

The Shadow of the Plundering Crow didn't seem to move much, but that raven shadow expanded abruptly.

"Ah!"

Fang Qiong instantly realized that the shadow under her feet had turned into an abyss, about to swallow her in.

Before such great power, a mere Esoteric martial artist could hardly resist.

But in that instant, a black hand appeared, grabbed her, and pushed her far away.

"Is that the Formless Dark Hand? Brother?!"

Fang Qiong's face was anxious, looking at Fang Xing, and her expression changed drastically. She saw that because Fang Xing pushed her away, he himself was shrouded in shadow, and with a 'swoosh', he fell into the abyss of shadow.

In the darkness, the hoarse voice continued to come out:

"Hehe... truly naive."

The Shadow of the Plundering Crow laughed: "By saving her, you have lost your chance... is this the family affection of humans? I am very satisfied with this body of yours, so I will take it..."

Before the words were finished, infinite darkness poured into Fang Xing's body, drilling into his body through his pores.

"Oh? It seems... you are indeed not a mortal becoming a god."

Fang Xing's expression was strange, and he put his hands together: "I have finally met another guy who wants to possess me... thank you..."

"What?"

The Shadow of the Plundering Crow flashed a bad premonition, and then discovered something was wrong.

Accompanied by Fang Xing putting his hands together, a terrifying Great Sun rose from Fang Xing's body.

It seemed to stand above the endless space-time, as an indestructible celestial body, and within it was an indescribable Jin Gang shadow.

This Jin Gang had three heads and six arms, each arm pinching a seal, grasping a kind of ether power.

Machine, Blood, Stone, Heart, Dark, History...

The six great ethers were all grasped in his hands; this is the 'Six-Void Time-Wheel Emptiness Jin Gang'!

Above the Jin Gang's head was a rainbow, representing that its Dharma nature had already reached the realm of 'Rainbow Transformation'!

Flesh becoming Buddha, Dharma nature rainbow-transforming... spirit and flesh as one, this is Tathagata!

At this moment, the black arm representing 'Dark' in the 'Six-Void Time-Wheel Emptiness Jin Gang' moved abruptly, grasping down and forming the 'Sun-Wheel Seal'!

A Great Sun furnace appeared, trapping the 'Shadow of the Plundering Crow' inside.

"This is... what ritual?"

"What kind of seal? It can actually trap me? Impossible... I am a deity, in the ether world... it is impossible to lose to a mortal!"

The hoarse voice suddenly became incomparably sharp, but unfortunately, it was of no use!

Accompanied by the appearance of the Great Sun furnace, an indestructible Great Sun mark also appeared on Fang Xing's brow.

Pitch-black patterns formed on his body, gathering on his back, turning into inexplicable feather marks.

It looked like a pitch-black raven, and firelight fell, turning into a Great Sun Golden Crow diagram.

"This is the highest achievement method of my Esoteric Sect—the Great Brightness Womb Realm Mandala!"

Fang Xing spoke lightly.

Accompanied by his hands forming seals, lotus wombs bloomed slowly, wrapping the Great Sun Golden Crow inside.

The lotus womb wrapped around the 'Shadow of the Plundering Crow', landing inside Fang Xing's body, and also seeming to be somewhere outside his body.

Boom!

Accompanied by three thousand lotuses blooming, three thousand dragon-headed Vajras chanting, and three thousand heavenly maidens dancing... a mysterious Time-Wheel City was opened there!

The 'Six-Void Time-Wheel Emptiness Jin Gang' fell, sitting cross-legged in the city, turning into the Six-Void Time-Wheel Emptiness Jin Gang Dharma Altar.

The Shadow of the Plundering Crow was suppressed under the Dharma Altar, and suddenly even a trace of aura was difficult to leak, let alone make a sound.

"I knew it... in the struggle involving angel-level power, there would definitely be a deity taking action... you thought this was a trap you laid? Little did you know... this is also a trap I laid!"

Fang Xing smiled: "Imprisoning a deity and studying it slowly, the foundation for becoming a god in the future is now there... not only that, my goal is to become the God above Gods, the Creator... since the six great ethers can transform into each other, there must be a higher ether, perhaps named 【Radiance】... or 【Sun】?"

Perhaps for the extraordinary beings in the hidden world of this world, imprisoning a deity and replacing them to become a god is already a rebellious act.

But for Fang Xing, this is just the beginning, and even the Dark god position is just a step.

As long as he is given time, relying on the proficiency panel, he will definitely be able to grind his way up.

He shook his clothes and arrived at the ruins of the secret realm.

Fang Qiong was dumbfounded, looking at all this: "Brother... what happened?"

She only saw Fang Xing fall into the raven's shadow and then come out, and as for that Dark deity, it had disappeared without a trace.

"Nothing... just that I defeated that Dark deity, that's all."

Fang Xing smiled slightly.

Although his experience could be called legendary, there was no need to say these things.

'It's just that the series of seals, secret techniques, and rituals I used to bind the Dark deity... in this world, they will probably have extremely strong symbolic significance; once written as a secret transmission, it will be of forbidden level... placed in my Esoteric Sect, it is also the most supreme method, perhaps named "Great Sun Sutra"?'

In this world, before Fang Xing, no mortal could defeat a deity, let alone ascend to become a god.

And at this moment, there was truly a possibility of this, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had pioneered a hundred generations.

"Let's go."

Fang Xing was just about to take Fang Qiong away when his expression suddenly moved, looking at a certain place in the ether world.

At this moment, an old man suddenly walked out from behind the broken walls and ruins.

He was wearing a gentleman's suit, leaning on a cane, looking old and frail, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Seeing Fang Xing, he smiled friendly immediately: "For the Secret History, everything that happened here today is an absolute secret that even worms cannot know... don't you agree, Master of the Esoteric Sect?"

"God of the History Path..."

Fang Xing nodded in greeting, knowing that this deity definitely did not want the forbidden secret ritual that could seal a deity to spread, impacting the position of the deity.

If it weren't for fearing him and not being able to beat him, the other party would definitely spare no effort to wipe him out.
