Chapter 649 (2/2)

“That’s right, this is my Divine Country—Inferno,” Alexander’s voice rang out from every direction, accompanied by seething lightning, dark clouds, and volcanic ash. It was as if he was the Demon Lord from hell, bellowing away.

“You don’t have the means of controlling space that fifth tier Divine level experts have. There’s no way that you’ll be able to break out of this place. Just stay here at ease.”

“There’s no need for you make up stories in front of me. I’m very much aware of the abilities of a fifth tier Divine level expert. It’s just a Divine Country, not a real world in itself,” Fang Xingjian answered calmly. “You want me to stay here at ease? You should just take this sword attack first.”

As Fang Xingjian spoke, he once again sent a sword attack slashing out. Sword light flashed, sweeping across the horizon, even tearing apart the sky and causing the ground to shatter. The dark clouds in the sky were slashed apart and the volcano under his feet was slashed into two. A deep, bottomless cut, several tens of kilometers long, had appeared on the ground. One could see hints of scorching lava in its depths.

Fang Xingjian frowned slightly. He had not meant to attack such a large area, but when attacking, he realized that his power had been instantly scattered by the space’s structures. It was like the water in water pipes flowing directly into the sewers.

Although the impact of this attack seemed tremendous, its prowess had been significantly dispersed. It was much less condensed than Fang Xingjian had anticipated it to be.

This was the Divine Country, where one could condense various complicated spatial structures. Fang Xingjian’s attack had been dissipated and Alexander was simply unaffected.

Moreover, the lava of the volcanos below him also seemed to have a unique set rhythm. They were probably part of a powerful formation.

Fang Xingjian snorted coldly and slashed with his sword a few more times.The ripples in the space undulated ceaselessly. Fang Xingjian was not trying to destroy the environment, but to destroy the spatial structures in the Inferno.

Sword shadows flew about everywhere, and spreaded out swiftly, like a wind tempest. Wherever they passed by, violent powers would flatten the space, allowing for Fang Xingjian’s power to perform freely.

As he was incessantly expanding his territory in the Inferno, it suddenly shattered and disappeared. Fang Xingjian once again returned to the island.

However, right now, there was no more sight of Jacob and the King.

Only Alexander’s voice remained, ringing in his ears. It sounded like the decree of the Gods from the heavens, “Fang Xingjian, I’ve already sent Jacob away and the Panwu Heavenly Raiment will be considered his compensation for him. Don’t look for trouble with him anymore and stop raising riots everywhere.

“You know that I have Sudden Inspiration. No matter whom you’re going to kill recklessly, I’ll be there to stop you.

“Pull your unrestrained self together and come to the Imperial Capital to receive your commendation in a few days’ time. While you’re at it, prepare to accept your new job.

“Remember, the reason I’m keeping you alive is because I want to use you. However, whether or not you will still live once I’ve made use of you, it’ll all depend on your own performance. Don’t spoil things for yourself and waste the talent that you have.”

Hearing Alexander’s words, a cold gleam burst from Fang Xingjian’s eyes and he snorted coldly while thinking to himself, ‘The prowess of the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation and the four white bone short swords is still insufficient. Otherwise, even if I were to be pulled into a Divine Country, I’d be able to slash my way out with a single sword attack.’

Despite hearing the King’s warning, Fang Xingjian still had no intention to do what he was told. He would head to the Imperial Capital, but that would be after he had killed the Holy Light Clan’s head, Jacob, and retrieved the Panwu Heavenly Raiment.

However, in order to kill Jacob, he had to break through Alexander’s protection.

Moreover, if he wished to get stronger, he would have to strive for the third tier of the Divine level or to once again increase the prowess of the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation.

The third tier of the Divine level required one to forge the body, allowing for the physical body and martial will to merge together perfectly. Only through this would he be able to achieve the third tier of the Divine level. It was not something easily within reach.

In order to further increase the prowess of the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation, he would need to improve his sword arts cultivation further or to use longswords that were Divine Remains Equipment.

Thinking of this, a chaotic glow once again filled Fang Xingjian’s eyes. With his Sudden Inspiration, his plans were already decided. ‘Wang Xiaoyan and Fang Qian should already be done with the Divine Remains Equipment. If I have a Divine level longsword, the prowess of the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation would be further increased. I would then be able to breakthrough Alexander’s protection and kill Jacob.’

At the next moment, Fang Xingjian’s silhouette suddenly shattered. He flew all the way to the sky above the Great Western City at light speed and then reassembled his physical body there.
