Chapter 882: Immemorial Mystical Armament Unparting Pine
*Whoosh*
Xia Fei did not slow down at all as he went diving toward that yellow planet. He saw that the very air itself was all yellow sands, which whipped about at an intense rate, creating a sandstorm so great anyone would have difficulty standing steady.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. He could very clearly sense the unique aura of an Immemorial Mystical Armament, and for this armament to be in such an extreme environment, Xia Fei found it very inconceivable.
Bracing against this over-category-ten hurricane and the onslaught of sands, Xia Fei searched for any trace of the Immemorial Mystical Armament.
The sandstorm lowered the visibility greatly, so Xia Fei found himself relying on his intuition most of the time. This fierce wind and sand combination loudly battered Xia Fei’s war armor, sounding like the popping of corns.
Slowly, Xia Fei felt himself drawing ever closer to the mysterious aura of a Immemorial Mystical Armament, and the sandstorm was also becoming even more violent and intense!
Suddenly—
A huge pine tree appeared in front of Xia Fei!
Yellow sands were nearly obscuring its entire body, forming out an entirely yellowish shape. He could not make out its original color, but no matter how extreme the environment around it was, this still did not stop the thing from surviving and growing.
“Immemorial Mystical Armament Unparting Pine!” exclaimed Xia Fei.
Almost immediately, an extremely shocking scene happened in front of him!
*Rumble*
A black hurricane, which could tear across the land and sky, suddenly struck! Like a large and ancient dragon, it came streaking from afar and caused the very land to tremble and shake while the sky howled!
“What a strong hurricane!”
*Crack crack crack*
The exquisite war armor, Monohorn Ogre, was feeling the harshness of the hurricane, so much so that it promptly changed shapes. Numerous alloy steel hooks grew under Xia Fei’s feet sans any warning and firmly held him in place!
Xia Fei watched this happen with wide-eyed astonishment!
Faced against the battering assault of the hurricane, the Immemorial Mystical Armament Unparting Pine stood tall and proud! It withstood the strong winds of the harsh weather, swaying but not giving. It was a breathtaking sight to behold, with it exuding that self-imposing resilience!
*Rumble*
This black hurricane raged for a full twenty minutes. Even Xia Fei staggered and shook in the face of such strong winds! This just went to show ow terrifyingly fearsome the hurricane was!
When the hurricane passed, Xia Fei noticed that the Immemorial Mystical Armament Unparting Pine remained perfectly sturdy like before, with not a single pine leaf out of place or gone!
It must be known that the black hurricane had raged at a planetary level! It was several tens of thousands meters high, sweeping across an area of over eight hundred square miles!
The Unparting Pine was practically tough to the extreme point, not even shaken in the least under the battering of such a howling storm!
“It truly lives up to its claim as the greatest Immemorial Mystical Armament when it comes to hardness! Forever unrelinquishing, the Unparting Pine!” Xia Fei shuddered in awe as he excitedly mumbled.
Xia Fei’s Peacock Blue already had unprecedented strength. If he fused it with the number one in terms of toughness among the seven plants of the Cloud Sea, who knew what sort of heaven-defying existence it would become?
Peacock Blue had the traits of unrelenting tenacity, a strong will to live. Scattered Star Chrysanthemum had given it countless energy flowers, which glowed as bright as stars, possessing a level of sharpness that rivaled the keenest blades, boosting the combat strength of Peacock Blue to crazy levels!
It was a pity that the Nine Night Plum had been the exception, failing to demonstrate the greatest poison it had out of all the seven plants of Cloud Sea. Peacock Blue had merely gained the effect of some long-lasting paralysis after absorbing the Nine Night Plum, nothing compared to the miraculous poison it was known for, which could penetrate into the hearts and bones of its victims.
However, Xia Fei was not at all worried. Though Peacock Blue had yet to display such poisonous traits at the moment, it did not mean that there would not come a day when it reared its head!
The most important thing now was to let Peacock Blue improve its strength and level greatly by fusing with this other Immemorial Mystical Armament! He was convinced that Peacock Blue would still experience a substantial qualitative advancement after taking in the toughest plant-type Immemorial Mystical Armament, Unparting Pine!
*Crunch*
Xia Fei lifted his fist and landed a heavy punch on the Unparting Pine!
He had not expected that this tough plant to actually be as stable as a rock! It did not even budge from the blow!
‘What a powerful armament! A truly hardy fellow!’ Xia Fei mused inwardly.
*Swoosh*
The synthesized Immemorial Mystical Armament Peacock Blue abruptly shot out! It reached out its five bluegrass blades, measuring well over a kilometer, sd he eyed the Unparting Pine!
“I’m sorry. While I admire your hardiness, I still intend to subdue you today!”
Xia Fei solemnly addressed the Immemorial Mystical Armament Unparting Pine just as Peacock Blue made its move, beginning the process of fusing the fourth Immemorial Mystical Armament to itself!
……
“Heavens! That protective layer’s too tough! Honestly, just how did that young man from the Skywing Clan even get in?” A Demon Race Law Sage wondered about this even after he attempted to strike open the protective layer of Unparting Pine.
Everyone shook their heads. It had already been three days, yet these hundreds of Demon Race elites had been unable to make any headway on how to break the protective layer and make their way into that strange space where the Immemorial Mystical Armament was located.
“No hurry. I personally witnessed the Kerry Clan’s Holm and his Law of Concealment enter right after that young man from the Skywing. Holm’s a Law Sage, an expert in subterfuge and stealth! Meanwhile, that young man looks to be of average cultivation; Holm must’ve already finished him off by now! The Immemorial Mystical Armament will still be in our hands!” a tall and burly Law Sage from the Darkpearl Clan said.
The three major clans of the Demon Race, Dark Pearl, Edusa, and Kerry, were of the same foundation, and they shared a very close relationship with one another. This was why everyone knew very well of Holm’s combat strength. They knew he was an expert when it came to one-on-one fights.
Meanwhile, all of them had nothing but contempt and bafflement for Xia Fei. Because Xia Fei had become even more inconspicuous after absorbing the Ark fragment, he was easily overlooked if anyone did not pay close attention to him, appearing no different from someone who had low cultivation.
They were baffled over how such a young man with low cultivation had managed to break into the tough protective layer and why the maniacs of Skywing Clan had allowed such an obvious weak link into its wolfpack formation. It simply did not align with the style of the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade at all.
Unfortunately, not one of them knew that, though Xia Fei did not have some heaven-defying cultivation, he possessed the strength to overturn the heavens! He was already killing Law Overlords when he was merely a Law Emperor, and now that he had reached the tier of Law Overlord, he was starting to kill Law Sages!
Furthermore, Xia Fei was definitely not the weak link in the wolfpack formation but rather the lone wolf that roamed outside the formation! He was a roaming ranger!
As for Law Sage Holm, he had already been slain by Xia Fei, with hardly even a corpse left to speak of!
“We’re having a hard time breaking in by ourselves. Let’s attack together, instead,” an older Edusa Clan elder suggested.
“Yes! Let’s do that. We have more than fifty Law Sages here now; I simply don’t believe that we can’t crack this strange protection!”
“No matter what, let’s give this a shot first!”
*Kaboom*
The warriors of the three major clans from the Demon Race worked together and unleashed ranged attacks!
The sound of their concerted attacks reverberated, so much so that the entire Turbulence seemed to be shaking as a result!
…
“Not good! The Demon Race has started using force, sparing no effort to bombard that strange protective layer with all might!” blurted out Xia Gen. He had been keeping an eye on them from afar this whole time.
The twelve Law Sages of Skywing frowned. Xia Guanghai rumbled, “Though the three clans of the Demon Race don’t have a powerful weapon like our Azure Dragon Soul Meteor, we shouldn’t underestimate the damage that they can do by focusing their offense. After all, they do have fifty-six Law Sages on their side.”
Xia Ke added, “Xia Lianning’s reinforcement has yet to arrive. If the Demon Race really manages to break that protective layer and rushes in, Xia Fei will be exposed to danger!”
“How’s the situation with the protective layer? Has it been shaken?”
Xia Gen answered, “It’s still stable, but only for now. That layer of protection is really tough; still, I reckon that no matter how strong it is, it won’t be able to last past the three-hour mark under the uninhibited and relentless attacks of the Demon Race.”
“Three hours…” Xia Guanghai mumbled under his breath. “Looks like these three hours will be the deciding factor. Get ready! We, Skywings, won’t abandon any of our clansmen! Even if we have to put our lives on the line in three hours’ time, we must extract Xia Fei!”
“Hahahaha~”
The wolves of Skywing burst into laughter in the face of this dire situation. That fearless arrogance they were demonstrating seemed impregnable!
Even though they were facing a force several times theirs, whoever it was, they would beat them up and those people would be beaten up! This was the Skywing spirit!
…
*Kaboom*
The sound of the intense Demon Race attacks could be heard clearly, sandwiched between the endless pelting of yellow sands.
Xia Fei arched an eyebrow, looking at that odd candy floss mix of black and white around him, mumbling to himself, “We’re running out of time. They’re about to force their way in!”
He gritted his teeth; that Unparting Pine stood proudly as ever before him. The toughest armament out of the Seven Plants of Cloud Sea refused to bow to Xia Fei. No matter how hard Xia Fei tried to make it bend, the Unparting Pine still stood proud and sturdy!
It was evident that the harder he tried to subdue the Unparting Pine, the stronger and more powerful its strength of resistance became; Xia Fei’s combat strength would soar immensely if he only managed to acquire it.
Unfortunately, what Xia Fei lacked now was time! The moment the Demon Race broke through, he would be in for a tragic outcome! This was why Xia Fei needed to act fast! He must subjugate the Immemorial Mystical Armament Unparting Pine before the protective layer got destroyed!
*Rumble*
Outside, the Demon Race battered the protective layer once more, while Xia Fei clashed with the Unparting Pine, all in an effort to fuse it with Peacock Blue!
Peacock Blue’s five large bluegrass blades danced about. It was not the first time it did a fusion, so the bluegrass knew very well what it needed to do.
The very basis of fusion lay in complete suppression! Unparting Pine needed to join Peacock Blue willingly, for it to put down its pride as an Immemorial Mystical Armament and subject itself to a new master.
Throughout, Xia Fei was Peacock Blue’s host. The bluegrass grew on Xia Fei’s right arm and had a tight bond with him, sharing glory and loss together.
Therefore, the bluegrass would be the host for the rest of the plant-type Immemorial Mystical Armaments and they would be dependent on Peacock Blue if they fused with it. They would become an extension of Peacock Blue; simply put, if the bluegrass was subordinate to Xia Fei, then the rest of the plant-type Immemorial Mystical Armaments would be subordinate to Peacock Blue.
However, the crux of the matter was what could make the toughest mystical armament among the Seven Plants of Cloud Sea agree to being Peacock Blue’s subordinate, to being Xia Fei’s subordinate’s subordinate? As such, sufficient foundation was needed in order to conquer the Unparting Pine!
Very quickly, two hours had passed, yet Xia Fei was still unable to find any way to subdue the Unparting Pine.
By this time, the attacks from the Demon Race were already managing to create cracks on the candy-floss-like protective layer! The thing would quiver every now and then, with plenty of cracks showing on its surface!
*Boom*
*Boom*
Perhaps it was because they saw a sliver of hope, these Law Sages of the Demon Race intensified their attacks even further, as they all grew more and more excited!
It looked like the breaking of the protective layer would be earlier than the predicted three hours! Xia Fei felt that the protective layer would at most withstand no more than five more minutes of relentless attacks at this rate!
Subduing an Immemorial Mystical Armament was no easy task, requiring a significant amount of time. It was apparent that even if Xia Fei was unwilling, he would have no choice but to give up on his progress and deal with the immediate crisis of the Demon Race warriors!
With this thought in mind, Xia Fei turned around and heaved a sigh. Right now, he needed to defend against the Demon Race’s frenzied attacks, hold out until the others from the Skywing Clan could join the fight!
This was when something unexpected occurred!
That cotton-candy-like strange space seemed to have been pulled by some inexplicable force, and it moved!
