556: Chapter 556 The Celestial Race?

Kill Fang Bai?

Fang Bai stared at Yi Mu and said, "Yi Mu wouldn't kill me."

Yi Mu sneered and waved her hand!

Boom!

A powerful force instantly sent Fang Bai flying back!

Although Fang Bai was prepared, the power of a Quasi-Saint was too great—so great that he could hardly withstand it even with all his strength!

Before Fang Bai's body could even stop moving, a pale hand directly grabbed him by the throat.

Yi Mu stared at the man in front of her and gave a cold snort. "You are her heart demon. For an ant like you, she gave up merging with me and abandoned that great power!"

The civilization fragment was incredibly furious. It was angry at Yi Mu's lack of ambition; for a mere Tenth Rank, she actually refused to merge with it!

Inside Fang Bai's body, strands of powerful aura emerged, resisting the civilization fragment.

Tenfold Amplification!

Weakening!

Caught off guard by the civilization fragment's carelessness, Fang Bai actually managed to break free from the restraint.

"Oh?"

A hint of confusion flickered in the eyes of the civilization fragment. It hadn't expected this human to suddenly erupt with such powerful strength.

However, in the next second, it appeared before Fang Bai once again!

Swish!

Once more, Fang Bai's throat was seized!

This time, it was being serious!

Fang Bai felt somewhat powerless; compared to a Quasi-Saint, the gap in his strength was still far too wide.

The civilization fragment looked at him indifferently and said, "Your strength has some merit, but unfortunately, it's still lacking."

As it spoke, a mocking sneer played on its lips. "With your level of capability, you think you can stop me?"

It was highly insulting!

Fang Bai grinned. "So, why don't you just kill me then?"

Hearing this, the civilization fragment's expression turned cold, and a sliver of killing intent enveloped Fang Bai. "You're courting death!"

Just as it was about to act, the aura around its body suddenly stagnated.

A flash of anger appeared in one of Yi Mu's eyes. "You dare touch him?!"

Yi Mu released her grip on Fang Bai's neck.

But in the next second, she said irritably, "Fool! He's not worthy of you! This damned man... it would be best if he were dead!"

Yi Mu spoke coldly, "If you dare kill him, I will commit suicide."

The civilization fragment froze, then said in a tone of frustrated disappointment, "You idiot! You'd discard supreme power for a stinking man? His existence will only become your weakness! Ultimately, he will lead you to your destruction!"

The corner of Yi Mu's mouth curled up. "So what?"

"You..."

The civilization fragment was exasperated and gave Fang Bai another fierce glare.

Fang Bai: "..."

Soon, Yi Mu took control of the body's consciousness. She looked at Fang Bai, an apologetic look appearing in her eyes. "I'm sorry."

Fang Bai grinned. "Don't be like that."

Yi Mu was silent for a moment before saying, "Are you heading to the Star Domain Alliance?"

Fang Bai nodded.

Yi Mu said softly, "Take care."

Fang Bai nodded slightly. "Wait for me for a while. It won't be long."

The problem with Yi Mu had to be resolved. Not only that, but given Yi Mu's current state, she didn't have much time left.

The civilization fragment had no emotions whatsoever; perhaps it would eventually choose to completely consume Yi Mu!

Fang Bai couldn't let that happen!

He had to become stronger!

He had to step into the Quasi-Saint Realm!

Yi Mu understood his meaning and nodded slightly. "I'll wait for you."

Fang Bai nodded, then without lingering, he turned and left.

Yi Mu watched his departing back, a trace of complexity flickering in her eyes.

She didn't know if she would be able to wait until he arrived.

"Hmph! You are forcefully resisting my power; this will only accelerate your demise!" The civilization fragment's voice rang out coldly.

Yi Mu did not speak.

She stood there for a long time before turning to leave.

...

On the other side, Fang Bai found Fei Qianqiu.

Fei Qianqiu glanced at Fang Bai and asked, "Did she make a move against you?"

Fang Bai nodded.

Fei Qianqiu sighed softly. "That isn't good news."

Fang Bai said in a heavy voice, "Yi Mu's control over her body is getting weaker and weaker."

Fei Qianqiu continued, "This indicates that the power of the civilization fragment is awakening aggressively."

Fang Bai looked at him and asked, "Senior, is there really no way?"

Fei Qianqiu smiled bitterly. "For now, there is no way. That girl's strength has already surpassed mine."

"I am only at the Second Transformation of the Quasi-Saint Realm, while she is conservatively estimated to be at least at the Fourth Transformation."

Fang Bai narrowed his eyes. "Is that how the strength of the Quasi-Saint Realm is divided?"

Fei Qianqiu nodded. "The Quasi-Saint Realm is called the Path to Sainthood by Quasi-Saint cultivators. This path is divided into nine steps, with each step being one transformation. The status of these steps is measured by the power of the Great Dao one controls."

Fang Bai asked, "Then what realm is the Second Elder of the Evil Demon Clan in?"

Fei Qianqiu said solemnly, "At least the Sixth Transformation of the Quasi-Saint Realm!"

Hearing this, Fang Bai's face darkened.

Damn, he's that powerful?

"The Fourth Elder has also reached the Fifth Transformation. In the Quasi-Saint Realm, each transformation is like a different heaven; the gap between them is immense," Fei Qianqiu added.

Fang Bai nodded. "I understand."

Fei Qianqiu looked at him and said, "If you plan to suppress the civilization fragment, it will be a very difficult task because it is also growing stronger."

Fang Bai nodded. "I will do my best."

Fei Qianqiu looked at him and sighed slightly. "If there is anything you need my help with, just say the word."

After all, he was the one who raised Yi Mu.

Fang Bai nodded.

After bidding farewell to Fei Qianqiu, Fang Bai arrived at a certain point in the starry sky.

He met the Sword Saint.

Facing this senior, Fang Bai naturally did not dare to be negligent and gave a slight bow. "Greetings, Senior."

The Sword Saint smiled and said, "You little fellow, you've become a bit stronger again."

Fang Bai smiled. "Compared to Senior, I am far behind."

The Sword Saint shook his head. "No, you cannot compare yourself to me. I have lived for thousands of years to reach my current realm. You should compare yourself to your peers, to the youth. Among the young generation, your talent and strength are undoubtedly among the very best."

Fang Bai asked curiously, "Senior, I heard that the most monstrous genius in the Star Domain Alliance is named Qin Ming?"

The Sword Saint nodded slightly. "Yes, like you, he is also at the peak of the Tenth Rank."

Fang Bai nodded. "Now that makes things interesting."

The Sword Saint smiled. "Welcome to the Star Domain Alliance."

Fang Bai smiled. "According to what Senior says, will I be targeted when I get there?"

A genius of his level entering the Star Domain Alliance would undoubtedly be like a bomb dropping into a pond.

The Sword Saint laughed. "Competition among you young people is permitted. Only with strength can you win respect, wouldn't you say?"

Fang Bai smiled. "Senior is absolutely right."

The young generation—in other words, the Alliance wouldn't care about competition between youths as long as the older generation didn't intervene.

In Fang Bai's own view, there wasn't a single person in the younger generation who could put up a fight.

That Qin Ming was just average, and that King Qin was just so-so.

Fang Bai's gaze fell on the Sword Saint as he asked a question that had puzzled him for a long time: "Senior, I see that you look somewhat similar to humans. Are you a human?"

The Sword Saint's appearance couldn't be said to be exactly like a human's, but it was ninety percent similar!

The Sword Saint smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, I am not considered a human, but come from..."

"The Celestial Clan!"
