426: Fang Bai leaves the pass

Within the Moon Demon Realm, a month had passed.

The Day King and the other Moon Demons were growing somewhat impatient by now.

They wondered, why was their master's possession taking so long?

Wasn't it just a puny human? Could it have failed?

A Ninth-Rank Expert couldn't help but ask, "Lord Day King, why hasn't the clan leader made any movement yet?"

The Day King frowned and snapped, "How would I know? I've never possessed anyone before!"

That expert: "..."

"Lord Day King, our time domain is about to collapse. If those lords don't appear, we'll likely be exposed..."

"Indeed! Not only are there experts from the demon race, but other second-level civilizations are also eyeing us covetously."

"Could the clan leader be making a breakthrough instead?"

"Could it have failed?"

"..."

The Moon Demon Clan members whispered among themselves, an uneasy atmosphere spreading as they all had a bad premonition.

"Silence!" the Day King suddenly shouted. He swept a cold glance over his clansmen and said calmly, "Success or failure, I'll find out by going in myself. Prepare to open the passage!"

"Yes!"

The Day King's gaze was gloomy, lost in thought.

For now, he had to go in and see for himself.

Soon, a group of experts worked together to reopen the Spatial Rift.

Just as the Day King was about to step in, a terrifying aura suddenly surged from deep within the rift!

The Day King was startled, then overjoyed: "Such terrifying power! Is it the clan leader?!"

The Moon Demon Clan members also showed delight.

At the same time, on the other side of the spatial barrier.

A powerful energy shot straight into the sky, stirring the clouds!

And at the center of that energy, a figure slowly stood up.

Golden light poured down, continuously flowing into his body, with golden lightning rolling around him!

It was Fang Bai!

At this moment, a bizarre scene appeared behind him—a ring formed by golden and dark energies floated behind him, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

Since the White Emperor had transferred a portion of his energy to him, Fang Bai's aura had transformed, shifting from purple lightning to golden lightning!

The power increase was more than tenfold!

Not only that, his strength had also undergone an unprecedented breakthrough!

Ninth Rank Peak!

Although he didn't have the strength of the Moon Demon Lord, Fang Bai was now a Dual-Element Ninth Rank Peak!

And more importantly, he wasn't just a newly broken-through Ninth Rank Peak—he was even stronger!

The peak of Ninth Rank Peak!

He was now on the same level as Night Demon and the others!

But Fang Bai's current strength was even greater than theirs!

Because he was Dual-Element!

Dual-Element peak of Ninth Rank Peak!

The anomalies in the area began to slowly dissipate, the power gathering back into Fang Bai as he started suppressing his aura.

Soon, the surroundings returned to calm.

A flicker of excitement appeared in Fang Bai's eyes: "I've become much stronger!"

He could feel how terrifying his improvement was!

He was confident that even if he encountered an expert of the Day King's level, he could easily defeat him!

Fang Bai looked around and, finding the place empty, a complex expression flashed in his eyes.

"Not even a final farewell?"

Having reached his current level of strength, Fang Bai could now sense some unknown existences.

Those that transcended the laws.

Such as all things in this world, the limits of this civilization...

But in this world, there was no longer a White Emperor.

The only trace he left was the civilization restriction, but even that was continuously fading...

Fang Bai's gaze suddenly fell on the human emperor sword nearby, and that moon god ring.

He opened his palm, and the human emperor sword emitted a sword hum, transforming into a golden light and flying into his hand the next second.

Grasping the human emperor sword, Fang Bai quickly felt a surging power!

"A fine sword!"

Fang Bai's eyes lit up!

He hadn't expected the human emperor sword to retain such strong power after so many years. This must be the White Emperor's doing, his final gift to him.

Holding the human emperor sword, Fang Bai felt invincible below the Tenth Rank!

As for the moon god ring, Fang Bai summoned it over, examining it curiously.

Since it had passed through the White Emperor's hands, it likely held no danger now.

The moon god ring was also a treasure, with a vast space created inside it that could even sustain life!

What did that mean? Fang Bai could gather everyone into the moon god ring, and time flowed differently inside—one day outside was ten days inside!

An ultimate cultivation sanctuary!

An idea suddenly formed in Fang Bai's mind.

At that moment, he suddenly looked up.

A crack appeared in space.

Fang Bai smiled playfully; he could sense the Day King's aura.

"Some debts are due to be settled."

With that, Fang Bai stored the moon god ring, then slowly walked toward the crack with his sword.

On the other side of the Spatial Rift, the Day King and the others hadn't been delighted for long when suddenly...

"Wait!"

The Day King abruptly stopped smiling, then stared intently at the Spatial Rift: "This... aura, it's not our master's! It's that human's!"

Human!

Hearing this, all the Moon Demon Clan experts' expressions turned grave!

"Could it be that the clan leader has succeeded? And now that human is the clan leader?"

An expert voiced the doubt.

The Day King frowned and said solemnly, "But I don't sense our master's aura! And the other three kings... Close the passage!"

As the Day King roared, the experts reacted quickly, hurriedly closing the passage!

But just as the passage was about to close, a golden light flashed by!

The Day King's pupils contracted, instinctively dodging the golden light!

However, the other experts weren't so lucky. As the golden light swept past, heads flew into the air.

The Moon Demon Clan experts at the front were instantly killed!

At least five Ninth-Rank Experts were slain in an instant!

The Day King was horrified!

"Whoa! You dodged pretty fast."

A light laugh sounded. The Day King sharply turned toward the voice, his expression turning ugly: "It's you!"

A sword-wielding man walked slowly over—none other than Fang Bai.

Fang Bai looked at the Day King and chuckled, "So? Surprised? Shocked?"

The Day King said gravely, "Where is our master? How are you alive and out?"

Fang Bai shrugged, "Unfortunately, your clan leader has been slain by me."

He and the White Emperor were Buddies; what the White Emperor killed was as good as him killing it—perfectly reasonable.

Hearing this, all the Moon Demon Clan members turned pale.

"Impossible! You're lying! How could a mere ant like you kill our master!"

The Day King roared, disbelief written all over his face.

Even if Fang Bai were ten times stronger now, he couldn't kill the Moon Demon Lord!

Fang Bai grinned, "Whether you believe it or not is one thing. The situation now is that you all are going to die too!"

The curve of his lips was icy cold: "And... not a single one will be left!"
