Rumble ….

The cultivator inside the golden shine was anxiously trying to escape the Flag of Ten Thousand Spirits and had already managed to reach the edge of the black smog. With a loud shout, golden flame gathered in his palm as he prepared to split open the smog and escape for good, but when a terrifying attack chased after him from behind, he couldn’t help but to let out a loud and enraged shout before turning and slamming his palm forward. Golden flame scattered about as the strike from Fang Xing was dispersed, and the cultivator’s appearance was made clear—it was none other than Chu Huang.

“I gave you a chance to leave earlier and you didn’t take it. Now you want to escape?” Fang Xing looked to him with a smile while shaking his hand to cool off some of the heat inside his body. A flame was raging inside him thanks to the golden pellet’s potent medicinal powers, and he was impatient for a fight so he could burn some of it off.

“Kill this golden turtle egg bastard!” the golden crow angrily cursed with clear distaste towards Prince Chu Huang, “He was the one who stopped me and kept me from escaping….”

Fang Xing looked at the crow with surprise. “You call him ‘golden turtle egg bastard?’”

“What? Is there a problem with that?”

Fang Xing sighed. “Not at all, it’s just great minds think alike….”

Boom boom ….

Prince Chu Huang slammed his hands together and four or five beast spirits that were chasing after him were sent flying away. His face was pale as though he’d been under a great amount of stress, and in fact that was precisely the case; as more and more cultivators were killed and used as blood sacrifices, the battle prowess of these beast spirits became increasingly terrifying. He’d even started to feel his own life was in danger and so tried to leave.

Prince Chu Huang’s expression was rather bad as he asked in a deep tone, “So this is your plan? Instigating everyone to rob the Sword Mound?”

Fang Xing snickered. “It’s clear they already wanted to rob the Sword Mound, all I did was give them the guts to do so!”

“You are breaking the rules of the Mysterious Domain!” Prince Chu Huang angrily roared while blue veins bulged on his forehead.

“These are your rules!” Fang Xing disdainfully called back before ordering the golden crow to fly over. “It’s not beneficial to me, so naturally these rules must be broken!”

Prince Chu Huang roared at this and his voice turned mournful. “Rules are the Dao and path of the heavens. To conform to rules is to conform to the Dao of the heavens….”

Fang Xing’s voice grew cold. “If the Dao of the heavens isn’t beneficial to me, why should I conform to it?” With that shout, he flew up from the golden crow’s back while moving both of his hands—one Yin and one Yang—to cause the sanding disc to move once more. At the same time, five young dragons obeyed his command to attack Chu Huang from the back while the golden crow rushed up from the bottom. Fang Xing was purposefully blocking off Prince Chu Huang’s retreat to force the prince to meet his apex skill with his own.

“This talk is useless. You really think you’ve got me? I am the prince of Chufung Kingdom, yet you dare fight me?” Prince Chu Huang began to loudly shout as well before folding his hands together and forming a complicated seal.

“Dragon Bind Seal….”

An apex skill passed through the generations of the Chufung royal clan: the Dragon Bind Seal!

In the half-year of secret studies within the Snowy Mountain, Prince Chu Huang hadn’t gone without learning anything new and had actually mastered a secret apex skill of the Chufung Kingdom known as the Dragon Bind Seal, a secret skill that legends said originated from Videha and contained an endless power. He’d originally intended to use this skill against people like the successor of the northern mountain or Luan Wushuang, the top cultivator of the western deserts; he hadn’t anticipated he’d be forced to use it in a moment like this.

As his apex skill was activated, the heavens and earth began to change. Divinity against the law, and the laws of the world against Dao. While Prince Chu Huang formed the seal, his hands were covered in a golden shine and golden flames poured from his hands like lava. The flames turned into a golden dragon more than thirty feet long, and with a low grunt, the dragon’s eyes released an awe-inspiring shine that bound Fang Xing mid-air and prevented him from moving even a single inch.

The power that could lock things in the air came from the “rules” released by Prince Chu Huang. His reason and Dao was the fact he was the son of the heavens and therefore represented the Dao of the heavens—the origin of all rules. If he did not permit someone to move, then they shall not move! With the appearance of such a skill, even the sky would be bound!

“Reversal of Yin and Yang, obliteration of heavens and earth….” Fang Xing’s voice rose up, and the Yin and Yang forces in front of him began to gradually grind away. Prince Chu Huang’s Dao was based upon rules, yet Fang Xing’s Dao was based upon rebellion! The desire to reverse Yin and Yang caused the heavens and earth to turn like a grindstone, obliterating everything within the chaos. Under the gradual movements of the two forces, even the power that had bound the sky began to crack….

Prince Chu Huang’s face became pale and he let out a long whistle, ordering the golden dragon to devour Fang Xing. At the same time, Fang Xing’s grindstone pressed closer towards the golden dragon.

There wasn’t a large difference in battle prowess between the two, and neither their theories nor Daos were able to completely suppress the other’s. Everything would come down to strength, and Prince Chu Huang was rather confident in this field—not only did he have a gold foundation, he was also in fourth-tier Foundation Stage. This was something this despicable little brat wouldn’t be able to match no matter how much raw power he had or how pure his Qi was.

Rumble !

The grindstone collided with the golden dragon in the air, and a gleam appeared between the brows of both Prince Chu Huang and Fang Xing. Prince Chu Huang’s light was an eye-blinding golden shine, whereas Fang Xing’s was an inky black.

“Black foundation?” Prince Chu Huang was surprised at first before letting out a cold laugh. “Although I have never seen such a foundation, such a pitch black foundation is like an insect hiding in the dark. It is no wonder you are so unhindered after studying such evil and demonic things, but even then it’ll still be difficult for you to succeed. How could it compare to my pure and gold foundation? It is filled with righteous spirit, a representation of royalty, of the rules…. You will be crushed under the utmost purity of my Qi!” As he yelled, his golden dragon’s force became stronger and it began to coiled itself around the grindstone to try to destroy it.

Fang Xing sneered when he heard this, and the black between his brows began to change. It started to turn from black into gold, then into the most pure gold of color, a color that was filled with utmost righteousness and royalty. Before Prince Chu Huang had the time to be surprised, however, that golden power changed once more and a thin layer of purple began to cover it, causing it to give off the indescribable sensation… of Immortal’s Qi!

“Is it really so improper to not conform to the rules? There are others who do not conform to any of the rules of heaven and earth—the immortals!”

Surprise appeared on Prince CHu Huang’s face once more, and the scene he’d anticipated of his golden dragon destroying the grindstone didn’t occur. The golden dragon coiling around the grindstone was actually sucked in by the grindstone’s terrifying power, like a small snake wrapped around a giant moss-covered plate. It was pulled, split up, and twisted by the great grindstone before being completely minced and sucked into the center….

” Gehk ….” The moment the golden dragon was ground up, the power of Prince Chu Huang’s hand seal was forcibly released and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His gaze flickered as he looked to Fang Xing with disbelief—even if that same scene were replayed a hundred times over, he still would not believe his own apex skill had been so easily broken by Fang Xing.

“The thing you were most proud of was your gold foundation, right? That mid-quality gold foundation.” As if peering into Prince Chu Huang’s thoughts, Fang Xing continued with a modest tone, “Mine is low-quality, but it’s purple.”

A purple foundation was also called the immortal’s foundation, for it was the root that allowed one to become an immortal….

An indescribable expression appeared on Prince Chu Huang’s face and he began to madly scream out in extreme rage. “Purple foundation? I don’t believe it. How can someone form the purple foundation? I am the prince of Chufung Kingdom, I have the blessings of the heavens, I was born with astonishing talent, I have unlimited resources and supplies…. Within all of Jambu, aside from the Huangfu clan’s young master, who could possibly surpass me? I don’t believe it!”

Swoosh ….

While Prince Chu Huang continued to scream in maddened rage, he seemed to subconsciously turn his upper body and make a few sporadic movements with his hands. Suddenly, a long golden lance appeared in his grasp, and if one were to look closely, it was even possible to see that the dark golden lance was covered in blood—Prince Chu Huang had taken it from his own flesh.

This lance was called the Dragon’s Bone, a weapon that required a secret spell of the Chufung Kingdom and was nurtured within the body. As the prince of a kingdom, how could he so easily be driven mad? He’d simply played the part, and the truth was he’d been hiding his real intentions all along.

Prince Chu Huang struck forward in an instant like a lightning bolt with incomparable strength, attacking without any apparent need to spend time accumulating power. The battle lance nurtured by the secret spell of the Chufung royal clan would feed off the blood of the royalty day in and day out to maintain its powerful force at all times. When they were in danger, its power would explode to bring forward its most powerful attack to kill off the enemy.

“So since you can’t defeat me directly, you decided to play sneaky now, huh?” When faced with Prince Chu Huang’s sudden surprise attack, Fang Xing simply creased his brows, sneered, and pulled out an Ancient weapon to block the lance.

That weapon was precisely an umbrella.

This umbrella was the one Chu Ci had given to him for self-protection before he decided to come to the Chaotic Stone Valley. In this incredibly dangerous situation, it was this umbrella that Fang Xing took out to block the Dragon’s Bone.
