After helping the Nine Demon Pagoda withstand the tribulation lightning and making it willingly acknowledge him as its master, Xie Fang felt quite pleased.
However, the figure concealed in the shadows was growing angrier by the moment!
He had coveted the Nine Demon Pagoda for who knew how many years, and now it had willingly acknowledged someone else as its master!
How could someone of his temperament stand for that?
Unable to hold back any longer, he raised a hand and tore through space, suddenly emerging from within. Thick Demonic Qi surged with boundless killing intent as he thrust his spear at Xie Fang!
The whole sequence unfolded in one fluid motion, as if he meant to kill Xie Fang with a single strike!
But Xie Fang reacted with astonishing speed. His aura erupted like a river of stars bursting its banks, and he mustered all his strength to block the deadly thrust!
Boom!
A thunderous explosion shook the heavens and earth, nearly rattling all of Buzhou Mountain!
In an instant, countless living beings around Buzhou Mountain panicked as if the end of the world had come and fled in every direction.
At the summit of Buzhou Mountain, demonic flames soared as the two combatants faced off.
"What? How could this be?"
The Mysterious Figure's eyes flew wide with disbelief. He could hardly believe that this man had blocked the sudden strike he had launched in ambush!
In truth, Xie Fang had not blocked it easily.
He had just helped the Nine Demon Pagoda withstand the tribulation, and the surprise attack caught him off guard. Forced to meet it in haste, he was rocked by the overwhelming demonic might, his internal organs trembling. A thin trail of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
In the hundreds of thousands of years since arriving in this world and roaming the Primordial World, this was the first time Xie Fang had been injured!
"You... must die!"
Xie Fang spoke in a voice devoid of emotion. The ambush had wounded him, filling his heart with murderous intent!
As the words left his mouth, the Combat Law surging within him stirred wildly alongside his Slaughter Origin!
The thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls began to whirl madly, unleashing the power of thirty-six primordial heavens in a sweeping torrent!
Thud!
As this immense force bore down on him, the Mysterious Figure merely sneered, neither dodging nor retreating. "Let's see what you can do..."
Before he could finish speaking, the pitch-black spear in his hand plunged into the ground. Then, supreme Demonic Qi burst from between his palms!
"Go!"
With a low shout, the two forces collided!
Boom!
The Black-Clad Man was struck hard. The power of the thirty-six primordial heavens crushed down on him, making him spit out a mouthful of blood. He staggered back several thousand zhang before finally forcing himself to stop.
"He's only a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, yet he can unleash such a powerful attack!"
The Mysterious Figure's eyes flickered as he looked at the Sea-Calming Pearls in Xie Fang's hand, greed showing in his gaze. "The Sea-Calming Pearls! I never thought such a treasure would fall into your hands!"
The Mysterious Figure had always been confident in his own strength. He had roamed the Primordial World for countless millennia, and there were few who could match him, let alone send him reeling several thousand zhang!
"You're not bad yourself. But I never expected Demon Ancestor Luohu to be the sort of rat who resorts to ambushes!"
Radiant light shimmered around Xie Fang as the thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls circled him.
"You know who I am!"
The Mysterious Figure was none other than Demon Ancestor Luohu!
"Boy, if you know what's good for you, hand over the Nine Demon Pagoda and the Sea-Calming Pearls. I might even spare your Primordial Spirit!"
Hearing Luohu's words, Xie Fang couldn't help but sneer.
In fact, the moment he saw the pitch-black Dragon Spear, he had more or less figured out who his opponent was.
It was no wonder he had encountered Luohu where the Nine Demon Pagoda had appeared.
The Nine Demon Pagoda was originally destined to end up in Luohu's hands, after which it would make its mark across the Western World.
But now that the Nine Demon Pagoda had acknowledged him as its master, there was no way he would let Luohu take it!
"Big talk! If you want the Nine Demon Pagoda and my Sea-Calming Pearls, let's see if you're capable of taking them!"
As Xie Fang spoke, a Golden Ruler Shadow appeared in the sky, releasing endless killing intent. Even against the legendary Quasi-Saint Demon Ancestor Luohu, Xie Fang wanted to test his opponent's limits!
So what if he was a Quasi-Saint?
"You're asking for death!"
Luohu had never faced such a provocation before. He gave a cold snort, and a black lotus platform appeared above his head!
This was—
The Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus!
"The World-Destroying Black Lotus!"
Xie Fang's gaze sharpened. He sneered, "Let's see whose lotus platform is superior!"
As he spoke, the Pure World White Lotus burst forth!
Seeing the White Lotus Platform beneath Xie Fang's feet, Luohu was clearly taken aback. But the greed in his eyes only deepened. "I never thought you'd have so many treasures. Now I'm even more determined to kill you!"
"Then come and try!"
Xie Fang's expression turned colder still. The Golden Ruler Shadow in his hand swept through the air in a slash!
Boom!
The Heaven-Measuring Ruler unleashed a towering killing intent, its golden light sweeping across the heavens!
After all, his opponent was Demon Ancestor Luohu, a Quasi-Saint!
So Xie Fang didn't dare let his guard down. He opened with his strongest attack!
Luohu was just as formidable. Black lotuses bloomed one after another atop the Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus. With each step, another black lotus appeared. Demonic Qi surged around him as he shot forward with overwhelming force!
Rumble—
Two killing forces, each powerful enough to destroy the world, collided with a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering crash!
The resulting shock waves poured outward, spreading frantically in every direction!
Fortunately, they were fighting atop Buzhou Mountain, the highest point in the entire Primordial World. There was nothing around to obstruct them. Otherwise, if this overwhelming force had run rampant, it would have destroyed everything within hundreds of millions of li at best—or at worst, shattered the entire Primordial World!
Moreover, the summit of Buzhou Mountain still bore Pangu's pressure, enough to offset the shock waves from their battle. Without it, the consequences would have been unthinkable.
"To hold your own against me for so long as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, boy, you have every reason to be proud!"
Even Luohu, usually arrogant and overbearing, had to admit that Xie Fang, the Grand Unity Golden Immortal before him, was truly powerful!
If he weren't a Quasi-Saint, he might have taken a nasty fall today.
But a Quasi-Saint was a Quasi-Saint. A Daluo could never match one!
Luohu's expression darkened, and he suddenly intensified his assault!
The Twelve-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus shone with divine light, illuminating the ancient firmament. A trace of frenzied Slaughter Law stirred quietly within it!
Then, following the Slaughter Law came the Destruction Law!
These were the trump-card techniques Luohu relied on to dominate the Primordial World. Now, to seize Xie Fang's treasures, he was holding nothing back!
Slaughter—madness!
Destruction—frenzy!
In almost an instant, the whole world seemed to be shrouded in thick Demonic Qi. Dark clouds gathered, baleful energy spread across the nine heavens, and the world grew dim the moment Luohu struck.
"Roar—"
Suddenly, a colossal giant, towering tens of millions of zhang, appeared before Luohu!
Though formed from Demonic Qi, the giant seemed almost tangible as it stood between heaven and earth!
It roared incessantly, its entire body brimming with dense baleful energy, as if it meant to destroy the heavens and the earth!
