Paradise of Demonic Gods-Chapter 1014 - Realm

As they spoke, Fang Xingjian pressed down with his palm. The weather in the entire Divine Capital suddenly changed as a world-penetrating pressure descended from the sky.

Thud thud thud sounds kept on ringing out. As this majestic pressure came pressing down from the sky, all of the Imperial Guards in the Divine Capital felt like they were being pressed by an invisible force, and they were forced to drop down to their knees.

Such a situation was right in front of the Grand Preceptor Manor, and it was especially severe. Almost everyone was pressed down to the ground like flies that had been hit by a flyswatter, unable to move an inch.

Only Cao Yuan, He Wanzhou, and the black-robed young man were half-knelt. Forcibly resisting the pressure that was coming down from the sky, they did not lie down on their stomachs completely.

A soft thud rang out, and both Fang Xingjian and the astonished Eunuch Wang landed on the ground, walking toward the trio slowly.

He Wanzhou looked in Fang Xingjian’s direction in bewilderment. “Your Majesty…”

Cao Yuan’s face was filled with disbelief. “How is that possible? To be treading in the air, suppressing an entire army… Fang Xuan, to think that you’re an expert at the Tiangang Realm?” Never had he expected that the inept Emperor who lived in the depths of the palace and had been brought up by women… the kid who had given him the impression of being seemingly immature and inexperienced… would actually turn out to be at the Tiangang Realm.

Fang Xuan was Fang Xingjian’s name in this world. As for the abilities to tread on air, suppress an entire army and the like… Fang Xingjian was not interested in explaining anything. He merely walked right up to the trio and stood with his hands behind his back. “Cao Yuan, you mobilized the Imperial Capital without approval, attacked the Imperial Capital, and brazenly seized and killed subjects of the imperial court. What else do you have to say?”

“You incompetent Emperor!”

“The world will definitely be destroyed in your hands!”

The black-robed young man and Cao Yuan each let out a furious bellow, choosing to resist concurrently. Their essential Qi of an annihilative nature gushed out from their bodies, and the overloading amount of powers gushing out caused their veins to tear and their acupuncture points to be destroyed. However, it also unleashed 200% of their powers.

The two of them attacked from the left and right respectively. Cao Yuan turned into a black dragon that could engulf the world while the black-robed young man turned into an extremely faint and almost indiscernible shadow. Both of them launched an attack toward Fang Xingjian.

Sharp piercing sounds filled up the place, and streams of Qi waves were formed, gushing out in all directions. Right now, the duo’s speed had reached an extremely fast limit, and their essential Qis—inside and outside their bodies—connected together. They formed a Qi field that enveloped Fang Xingjian entirely, pressing him down.

At this moment, the two of them were already going all out.

Their figures inched closer toward Fang Xingjian. The sword light and the powers of the spear shadow in their hands condensed into one, distorting space and causing light and shadow to dissipate. Just as these powers were going to strike Fang Xingiian…

“Kneel down.”

Rumble!

It was as if divine punishment had been dealt, with thunderclouds seething in the heavens.

Everyone in the city was taken by surprise, experiencing endless terrors in their hearts.

General Cao and the black-robed young man abruptly came to a stop in midair. It was as if they had been struck by an invisible force. Then when it was accompanied by an explosive rumble , the force seemed like a thunderbolt strike. The two of them dropped to their knees, smashing their kneecaps fiercely onto the ground. That produced a tremor which caused the streets to shatter, air currents to shoot out in all directions, and smoke and dust to rise up. Two large craters were smashed into the ground where they were.

A hint of astonishment flashed in their eyes, and they summoned the essential Qi from their bodies while taking in endless streams of powers from the depths of the ground, wanting to resist.

“Die.”

Kacha kacha sounds rang out. Then amidst a series of spooky twisting and colliding sounds, Cao Yuan and the black-robed young were twisted into a braid. They were turned into two piles of distorted flesh and blood, dropping to the ground.

At the sight of this scene, Eunuch Wang’s and Grand Preceptor He’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

With just a single call to kneel and die, two Disha Realm experts—who could hold their stand in the world—died just like that.

In the hearts Eunuch Wang and Grand Preceptor He, Fang Xingjian—with such mysterious means and a deep unfathomable cultivation had already become the world’s most terrifying character.

“The lead perpetrator has died. All members of the Cao Clan will be detained and dealt with according to the law. As for the Imperial Guards… I won’t pursue their crime for now,” Fang Xingjian said calmly. “The imperial court will provide compensation to the citizens who have been injured. Remember to pacify the citizens. Grand Preceptor He, come up with a procedure and report it to me later. I’ll leave the remaining matters to you as well.”

Grand Preceptor He no longer had the disposition of one who led the many officials in the court. Faced with this Fang Xingjian, he dropped to his knees and kowtowed. “Your subject receives your command.”

When he raised his head again, Fang Xingjian and Eunuch Wang were already nowhere in sight.

Over the next few days, both Grand Preceptor He and Eunuch Wang put all their efforts into assisting Fang Xingjian, not daring to harbor any other thoughts. The chaos in the Divine Capital were soon suppressed.

The Imperial Guards and city guards were unharmed. However, most of the members from the main branch of Cao Yuan’s clan were remobilized, then all of them disappeared with no news at all.

News of the battle in the Divine Capital spread out unknowingly, and news about how the Emperor Fang Xuan was a Tiangang Realm Expert was passed around. However, people with even a hint of rationality would not believe that a young man of 15 to 16 years of age would be able to cultivate to the Tiangang Realm. There were more people who suspected that the Great Jin Dynasty’s royal family still had strong hidden experts.

These left the many feudal vassals still wary against the Great Jin Dynasty’s royal family.

…

In the palace, many martial arts manuals—which were part of the royal family’s treasured collection—were placed before Fang Xingjian, flipping at rapid speed.

Out of these, there were the most common, foundational, and roughest martial arts.

There were also secret manuals that were deep and unfathomable, rumored to have been left behind by Tiangang Realm experts.

Fang Xingjian looked at the many secret manuals and quickly calculated their effects in his mind.

‘The extraordinary powers in this world are divided into the most ordinary cultivators, followed by those at the Xiantian level, and then the ones at the Disha Realm, Tiangang Realm, and the legendary Great Dao Realm.’

In Middle-earth, the most ordinary cultivators were generally apprentices or disciples that had not joined the sect for long. After cultivating for over five years and clearing the great and small circulatory cycles as well as the conception and governing vessels, they would be able to advance to the Xiantian level.

In Fang Xingjian’s opinion, the people at the Xiantian level had similar levels of battle prowess to first transition Knights.

If one were to continue clearing up their eight extraordinary meridians with essential Qi and allowing their essential Qi to flow through their entire body, they would then be able to reach the Disha Realm. The elite disciples in ordinary sects and the military forces, including Sect Masters and renowned generals, were all experts at the Disha Realm. The lower and higher limits of the experts in this world were a very far apart, similar to the situation amongst the second transition Conferred Knights.

After reaching the Disha Realm, one would be able to engulf the earth’s essence and Qi, using Disha Qi to temper the 72 acupuncture points in their body. With the condensing and refining of each acupuncture point, the quality and amount of their essential Qi—as well as the toughness of their physical body—would increase tremendously. After all the acupuncture points were cleared, one would be able to strive for the Tiangang Realm.

Cao Yuan, He Wanzhou, and Eunuch Wang, as well as the few leading subordinates working under them, were all experts at the Disha Realm. It was just that they had refined a different number of acupuncture points. Most of them had one or two acupuncture points cleared, while He Wanzhou—who was the strongest out of all of them—had refined 50 acupuncture points.

People at the Tiangang Realm were already considered top notched experts in the world, and there were probably less than ten of them in the world.

As for those in the Great Dao Realm which was the legendary realm, there might not even be one amongst 1,000 people.

Looking at the martial arts secret manuals before his eyes, Fang Xingjian said calmly, “Wang Yong, are there no experts in the Great Dao Realm in the world?”

Eunuch Wang lowered his head and said, “Ever since the Demon Sect’s Sovereign passed away 300 years ago, there hasn’t been any news of experts at the Great Dao Realm.”

Fang Xingjian nodded and asked, “What matter do you have? Go ahead and report it.”

Eunuch Wang continued to say, “Your Majesty, most of the direct descendants of Cao Yuan’s clan amongst the Imperial Guards have disappeared. According to our intelligence, they have probably been rescued by the Demon Sect.”

“Demon Sect?” Hearing that, the corners of Fang Xingjian’s lips curled up slightly, and he broke into a cold smile.
