Chapter 343: Slaying the Immortal Emperor
Fu Yuan, the Immortal Emperor, no longer had the mood to pay attention to Lan Xiaobu's words.
The ninth-grade killing array had been activated, and even though he was proficient in array formations, he had to focus all his energy on dealing with it.
He could only set up seventh-grade arrays at best; a ninth-grade array was still far beyond his reach.
This ninth-grade killing array was clearly not an ordinary one.
Waves of killing intent surged towards him, making it difficult for Fu Yuan to counterattack.
If Lan Xiaobu hadn't been controlling the array, Fu Yuan might have been able to find a safe spot and slowly dismantle the array.
But now, Lan Xiaobu's control of the array prevented him from doing so.
His injuries continued to worsen, and soon they reached the point of damaging his tendons and bones.
Fu Yuan knew he was in deep trouble this time and had to escape.
"You're Lan Xiaobu, right? Don't worry, after I leave here, I'll wipe out your entire immortal domain. I guarantee not a single ant will survive..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a blade of light sliced through the air, cutting across his waist and sending a spray of blood into the air.
"You think you can escape after entering my array? Are you daydreaming?" Lan Xiaobu mocked.
Fu Yuan acted as if he hadn't heard.
He activated a talisman, and a burst of blood light enveloped him, causing him to vanish in an instant.
But it was only for a moment.
The next second, Fu Yuan fell back into the array, reappearing within the killing formation.
"A seventh-grade void array..."
Fu Yuan's face turned pale.
A void array, and a seventh-grade one at that, was something even his divine sense couldn't detect.
This guy really could escape from my ninth-grade array? Lan Xiaobu was shocked.
Fortunately, he had added a seventh-grade void array, or else Fu Yuan would have escaped.
Lan Xiaobu didn't dare to drag things out any longer.
He activated the ninth-grade killing array to its fullest, and the Seven Sounds Halberd unleashed waves of halberd light, charging into the array.
He could afford to get injured, but he absolutely couldn't let Fu Yuan escape.
Trapped once again, Fu Yuan was frantic.
Lan Xiaobu was worried he might escape again, and Fu Yuan knew he only had that one chance.
That chance had been ruined by Lan Xiaobu's seventh-grade void array, and now he had no way out.
If Lan Xiaobu didn't enter the array, he would slowly be worn down and die within it.
Seeing Lan Xiaobu enter the array, clearly worried about him escaping again, Fu Yuan no longer cared about his injuries.
He charged madly towards Lan Xiaobu.
Several ninth-grade array blades crisscrossed, shattering one of Fu Yuan's legs.
But Fu Yuan ignored it, his Nine Heavens Quicksand Blade still locked onto Lan Xiaobu as he slashed down.
Lan Xiaobu knew this was a fight to the death.
He dropped the array flags, and the space around Fu Yuan instantly froze.
Although the Nine Heavens Quicksand Blade was still deadly, its trajectory was no longer invisible but clearly marked.
Lan Xiaobu didn't dodge.
His Seven Sounds Halberd unleashed waves of rule-based energy, crashing towards Fu Yuan.
Seeing the terrifying killing intent of the halberd, Fu Yuan was certain Lan Xiaobu was only an Immortal King, not even an Immortal Venerable.
Not only that, he was sure his Quicksand Blade, though suppressed by the ninth-grade array, would still strike Lan Xiaobu first.
As long as he killed Lan Xiaobu, even if he was severely injured, he could slowly dismantle the array.
But something was wrong.
Fu Yuan was horrified to find that Lan Xiaobu's halberd, which had been several feet away, was now right in front of him.
His Quicksand Blade hadn't even moved an inch.
"Pfft!" A burst of blood exploded from his chest, tearing apart his dantian.
Fu Yuan's Nine Heavens Quicksand Blade stopped.
He stared blankly at Lan Xiaobu, allowing the array blades to tear apart his body.
He couldn't understand how Lan Xiaobu had grasped a hint of spatial law.
That halberd strike had carried a trace of spatial divine ability.
No, that strike must have simulated spatial rules using space...
Fu Yuan wished time would stop so he could figure it out.
But a sharp arrow pierced through his forehead, tearing apart his sea of consciousness.
Fu Yuan died with his eyes wide open.
Beneath the Qi Emperor, he was the most powerful.
He had even dreamed of one day replacing the Qi Emperor and becoming one of the Four Emperors.
At the very least, he could have made the Southern Mo Continent have five emperors.
But today, he had died in such a remote corner.
How unfair.
After killing Fu Yuan, Lan Xiaobu breathed a sigh of relief.
At least now, no one in the Oblique Void Hall would dare to mess with him.
He took Fu Yuan's spatial ring and burned his body to ashes with a flame.
If he wasn't worried about his Heavenly Pivot Transformation being exposed, Lan Xiaobu would have considered disguising himself as Fu Yuan and returning to the Oblique Void Hall.
After all, he was already enemies with the Qi Emperor.
After killing Fu Yuan, the area was completely enveloped in toxic mist.
Lan Xiaobu didn't dismantle his ninth-grade killing array, nor did he retrieve the low-grade immortal vein he had planted.
He planned to stay here for a year, and who knew what might happen?
Fu Yuan's ring surely contained many treasures, but Lan Xiaobu didn't have time to check.
He needed to find the Oblique Void Mushroom.
Lan Xiaobu had seen the Oblique Void Mushroom in the Oblique Void Survival Notes.
It resembled an ordinary mushroom, shaped like an umbrella, but with a golden color.
The notes didn't explain the use of the Oblique Void Mushroom, only that it appeared in the toxic mist.
Lan Xiaobu didn't use any detoxification pills.
His Undying Technique allowed him to survive in the toxic mist.
Although his divine sense was strong and specially tempered, it was still suppressed to within a hundred meters in the mist.
He figured ordinary cultivators would be lucky to extend their divine sense beyond twenty meters.
The toxic mist corroded his clothes, making crackling sounds.
Lan Xiaobu could imagine that even with detoxification pills, ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to search for the Oblique Void Mushroom.
After searching for an hour, Lan Xiaobu finally spotted a glimmer of gold at the edge of his divine sense.
He hurried towards it, but no matter how fast he moved, the golden spot seemed to get further away.
That golden spot must be the Oblique Void Mushroom, but it was strange.
If this continued, he would never catch it.
There must be a special method to collect it.
Lan Xiaobu continued searching.
After another incense stick's worth of time, he found a second Oblique Void Mushroom.
In the toxic mist, his divine sense was almost useless, making it impossible to lock onto the mushroom.
This time, Lan Xiaobu used his Golden Light Escape Technique.
The distance of several dozen meters was almost nothing with this technique.
As soon as he activated it, he reached out to grab the mushroom.
To his disappointment, he still missed.
It wasn't that the mushroom was faster than him; it must be an illusion...
If it was an illusion, then it was like...
Lan Xiaobu thought of a mirage.
Could the Oblique Void Mushroom he saw be a mirage?
Unfortunately, the toxic mist was too heavy and cold, preventing his divine sense from extending further.
When he spotted a third Oblique Void Mushroom, Lan Xiaobu didn't rush to grab it.
Instead, he took out the Soul Refining Cauldron.
The Soul Refining Cauldron was the best tool for dealing with yin energy.
If he used it to absorb the surrounding yin energy, his divine sense could extend further and lock onto the golden Oblique Void Mushroom.
After activating the Soul Refining Cauldron, Lan Xiaobu was delighted to find that with just a slight thought, the endless yin energy around him was absorbed by the cauldron.
As the yin energy was removed, his divine sense quickly strengthened.
He locked onto the third Oblique Void Mushroom and easily grabbed it.
With the first Oblique Void Mushroom in hand, Lan Xiaobu examined it carefully.
He didn't know how it came to be, but it appeared with the toxic mist outside the Oblique Void Station, just like the mushrooms that sprouted after rain.
If the toxic mist was the nutrient for the Oblique Void Mushroom, could the mushroom itself be toxic?
After finding the first one, Lan Xiaobu quickly used the Soul Refining Cauldron to collect a second Oblique Void Mushroom.
To his delight, while searching for the third, he found a purple immortal fruit nearby.
He recognized it as the Purple Vein Immortal Fruit.
No wonder so many cultivators came here.
The value of the Oblique Void Mushroom was still unknown to Lan Xiaobu, but the Purple Vein Immortal Fruit was priceless.
If he could use the Soul Refining Cauldron to collect the mushrooms, others must have their own methods.
Just as Lan Xiaobu was about to search for a fourth Oblique Void Mushroom, he noticed a gray pearl forming inside the Soul Refining Cauldron.
He picked up the pearl and felt a wave of cold yin energy.
He immediately understood—this pearl was the condensed yin energy from the toxic mist.
The Soul Refining Cauldron had absorbed the yin energy and refined it into a pearl.
Lan Xiaobu didn't know what use it had, but since it was refined by the cauldron, it must be useful.
He decided to keep it for now.
