Chapter 741: River Palace

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Kaboom!

The lightning ball exploded and became a bright flash of lightning that lit up the entire sky, bringing forth a mysterious Skyfiend aura sweeping toward Fang Yuan, who was currently refining the Deity Position.

This Skyfiend Yin Lightning was a powerful weapon from a Heaven Immortal of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect. It was a secret technique derived when he had narrowly escaped the brink of death on the Mental Demon Battlefield.

During refinement, not only was evil lightning with Yang properties added, another secret layer was hidden within. After the lightning in the periphery shattered, the Skyfiend Qi inside exploded, representing a massive contamination to every existence in the Spiritual Realm. Furthermore, it was sufficient to cause all Earl-rank Gods to become befuddled and have Qi deviation!

This weapon was an immensely precious treasure that he had obtained from the sect after much difficulty using his status. This time, after throwing it out, it was a long shot gamble.

Amid the lightning, traces of obscure Demonic Qi appeared and directly latched onto the Deity Position as it was shaking. The Demonic Qi carried many aspects of the human world, containing lots of complicated emotions, in order to induce Mental Demons.

If Fang Yuan was a true heaven and earth spirit and a naturally created God with a childlike innocent heart, he would definitely have suffered a huge disadvantage in front of this.

However, he could not help laughing right now.

“What Skyfiend Yin Lightning? It’s just a little Mental Demon elemental force that has been added to a lightning technique!”

This elemental force was not origin power. The latter was the natural source of the realm, while the former was merely a derived secondary power.

When Fang Yuan became a Dream Master, he became powerful using Mental Demon elemental force. It would be laughable if he was afraid of it.

As he was thinking, a divine light transformed into a black hole and engulfed the Demonic Qi in an instant.

Of course, on the surface, he still gave an expression of utmost fury and the glow on him was shaking. His aura was scattered messily, as if he had greatly suffered. “You dare!”

“How is this possible?” Wan Sanjian shouted and turned around to flee.

Skyfiend Yin Lightning was not easy to refine, and he only had one. In the sect records, it was able to directly annihilate an Earth Immortal!

However, this God seemed to only suffer an injury. Drenched in sweat, Wan Sanjian immediately knew that he was definitely no match and instantly started fleeing.

“This God is powerful. This time, I’ll admit defeat and find the sect elites to stage a comeback. At that time, I must refine this person and make him to spit out the Deity Position... Outrageous! Really outrageous!”

Wan Sanjian unleashed his lightness technique and escaped at lightning speed while being covered by a layer of sword radiance.

Like there was a poisonous snake biting his heart, the anger he had toward Fang Yuan flowed endlessly like raging waters.

Because even if he requested assistance from his sect, he would not be able to gain the largest share of the benefits. As long as he was not completely exploited, he could already count himself lucky.

“Want to run?!”

Fang Yuan transformed into divine light and was even faster than the flying sword. With a turn of his body, he was already blocking Wan Sanjian as he indifferently reached out with his right hand. A large, shiny, golden hand suddenly manifested in the air and pressed down, covering the heavens and the earth.

What was a demeanor that covers the sky with one hand? This was it!

Under the pressing of the giant hand, all of Wan Sanjian’s hopes were dashed, and he could not find any way to escape the despair in his heart.

“Flying sword!”

In his final struggle, he released a spiritual sword that used his life as the price. It transformed into a ray of light that shot at the giant hand.

Clang!

The dull sound of metal clashing rang out. The momentum of the flying sword stopped and brightly colored divine light instantly swept upward. Wan Sanjian immediately felt his connection with the flying sword break, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The large hand covering the sky mercilessly landed as if it was going to squash him like an ant.

“No! You can’t kill me!” Wan Sanjian’s hair was disheveled. “I am a direct disciple of the Spiritual Flying Sword Sect and have an Intrinsic Sword Tablet inside the sect. Killing me is equivalent to becoming enemies with the entire sect!”

The Spiritual Flying Sword Sect was one of the 72 immortal sects, and its position was near the top. They possessed more than one Heaven Immortal elder!

It was merely a casual task for them to annihilate an Earl-rank God that had no backing.

“So what?” Fang Yuan laughed coldly. “Bringing up your backing, you’re obviously trying to show me that your identity is honorable and there’ll be severe consequences if you are killed. However, I don’t care at all. There’d no difference even if you brought up the Heavenly Court or the 33 large sects!”

“You lunatic!”

Wan Sanjian felt regretful for the first time. He should not have messed around with this lunatic.

Unfortunately, this revelation came too late.

The next instant, the large hand descended from the sky like a five-fingered mountain and squashed him flat. Divine light shot out in all directions and annihilated his divine spirit without leaving anything behind.

This scene frightened the two large demons so much that they started urinating uncontrollably.

The green bull did not even dare release a single fart and directly sank into the depths of the water, while the demon tiger escaped for its dear life as it swept up a gust of black wind.

After they saw Fang Yuan’s ferocity, how could they have any thoughts of contending with Fang Yuan?

“After disturbing me, you want to run?”

Fang Yuan waved his hand and two golden chains flew out.

He did not manage them and went directly to the riverside. Standing with his hands behind his back, he appreciated the tenfold expansion of dragon gate and fish bridge.

Not long later, the two demons arrived dejectedly before Fang Yuan. A golden nose ring was hung on the green bull’s nose, and there was a chain added onto the black tiger’s neck.

“The two of you were previously up to no good. Now, you’ll be punished severely for your crimes and work as mounts for me!”

Fang Yuan’s calculations were clear and saw traces of Lord Bright Jade’s arrangements on these two large demons.

In the words of the Spiritual Realm, these two demons were fated with him.

When he saw the bright glow and stubborness in the eyes of these two huge demons, he laughed. “Although you have some progress in cultivation, it’s still extremely difficult if you want to transform into a human. No wonder you had thoughts about obtaining this Deity Position. Unfortunately, this Deity Position is not something you are able to possess. After following me, I’ll in turn give you some benefits...”

While speaking, two rays of divine light shot out.

The two huge demons suddenly tumbled onto the ground and shed their skins, transforming into two humans.

Between them, the green bull transformed into a burly fellow with huge ears and a high-spirited figure, while the black tiger transformed into a lady wearing a black skirt with a strong heroic spirit.

The two demons were stunned and instantly bowed. “Thank you for this gift, elder!”

“Hmm, for the two of you, one will be called Green Mountain while the other is Black Water!”

Fang Yuan nodded.

In the Spiritual realm, it was very difficult for demons to transform, and there were even Heavenly Tribulations.

Even after passing through this, their appearance after transformation was based on their cultivation techniques and what was most suitable.

No matter which aspect, a slight mistake would leave behind defects, such as an additional tail or ear that could not be removed.

Humanity was the spirit of all things. After the demons transformed and cultivated, the benefits were aplenty. However, those with defects were still unimpressive and had weak foundations that were difficult to make up for in the future.

Fang Yuan casually transforming them this time had saved them a lot of hardship and effort.

Such a complete transformation, even evading of the horrors of Heavenly Tribulations, was not inferior to the grace of recreation!

Voluntarily serving him as slaves as repayment was within reason as well.

In fact, in the Spiritual Realm where the Immortal Dao and the Divine Dao were nearly everywhere, it was very difficult for ordinary low-level demons without suitable power to muddle in and live.

Being able to depend on the Immortal Dao or the Divine Dao, even if it meant being enslaved and ridden by others, could also be considered the fruits of cultivation.

“Alright! Follow me to open up a cave abode in the river!”

Fang Yuan came before the Surging Waves River and the water automatically parted. Numerous fish paid their respects, revealing many miraculous powers.

“The original fengshui in the area around the dragon gate wasn’t good, and the ebb and flow here was abnormal, unable to be consistently stabilized. Thus, it was difficult for it to be the foundation. However, after my changes, I have removed the ferocious aura. Just by making some changes in other areas, I can transform it into a spiritual land in the water.”

He was already clear that the Deity Position he refined was the authority and power of the Surging Waves River.

As the River Earl, he naturally had to live in the river.

“Indeed inside a God’s magic domain, everything is as how I want it to be. This Earl position of the Surging Waves River was especially created via natural means. After obtaining this position, I can immediately mobilize the Surging Waves River’s Spiritual Energy, and this is no small matter. Inside this river, even if a Heaven Immortal arrives, I have the confidence to deal with them using my Deity Position...”

The Divine Dao did not fully rely on the power of incense. Just like this naturally formed Deity Position, he could innately obtain the Spiritual Energy of famous mountains and rivers to supplement himself, which was considered more carefree and relaxed.

However, those Gods created from accumulating of human belief had to have sacrifices to complement them, or else they would gradually deteriorate day by day.

“But, even though the power of sacrifice is strong, it’s a double-edged sword. The intents behind incense offerings involves the world of mortals and are best at corroding a God... If they want to have a flawless Golden Body, it’ll be extremely difficult!”

Fang Yuan silently pondered. “An Earl-rank Deity Position is comparable to an Earth Immortal. A higher-up Marquis has to be able to grasp the Red Lotus Fire technique and have great success in the Golden Body. Then, no matter how unreasonable the powers of the incense intents were, they would all be refined into a golden lotus and increase their cultivation!”

Lord Bright Jade’s pinnacle was such a realm.

Only after reaching this step would they dare accept human incense, or else it was simply courting death.

“As for those higher than a Marquis, those Dukes and Kings... they instead interact directly with the Spiritual Realm’s natural source and have endless power. They don’t require the nourishment of humans nor famous mountains and rivers... they can be called an Ancient God! And they exist forever!”

Even for Fang Yuan, a natural God, if he were to meet an almighty being, the entire Surging Waves River would be destroyed, his Deity Position would be instantly vanquished, and it would be the fall of this God.

Much less those Gods reliant on humans. Once their sacrifices were completely stopped, they would be unable to maintain their magical strength and descend into slumber and death.

However, an Ancient God was different!

They had already fully understood the rules of the realm and connected with the Spiritual Realm’s natural source, able to use part of its power.

Even if it was a miniscule amount, this power was vast and sufficient to confront existences like Golden Immortals.

“Becoming River Earl Surging Waves is only the first step!”

This first step indicated that Fang Yuan had truly immersed into the Divine Dao and obtained a cleaner identity.

Next, he had to find other opportunities to expand his reputation and ultimately attract the attention of the Heavenly Court. It would be best to directly achieve a heavenly conferment and enlist into the Heavenly Court.

“Water, come!”

At the bottom of the Surging Waves River, Fang Yuan strolled idly and casually waved his hands unrestrainedly.

Spiritual Energy surged toward him as water pulses fused and formed into a huge dragon.

At the position of the dragon’s head, a crystal palace appeared. Beautiful jade bricks and night pearls could be seen everywhere.

“Erm, this is decent!”

Fang Yuan saw this and nodded. With a wave of his right hand, sacred writing appeared on a plaque. They were three huge words that read, ‘River Earl Palace’.
