Simultaneously, they travel through time, starting from the God Ranking.

Chapter 66 Underground

The hidden monsters, operating in the shadows, were targeting the unconscious Guo Fei, but Fang Xiu, who already knew their purpose, would not allow them to succeed.

With a flick of his wrist, Fang Xiu struck the invisible demon with a Void Break, causing it to freeze. He then picked up the wooden box from the ground, which contained fragments of Shifang.

The culprit who controlled the invisible monster was also exposed: a toad monster hiding behind a stone pillar.

Not only it, but also a scorpion, a spider, a poisonous snake, and a centipede appeared at the same time, making a total of five poisonous creatures and five monsters.

The five demons were not weak, all possessing the combat power of the late Jade Void stage. However, they were still far from enough to deal with the crowd. Not to mention the masked guards, who were of the Qing Void stage, even a few Divine Court Guards would be enough to handle the five demons.

All five demons are puppets; the true mastermind is the Nightmare Ancestor of Shifang.

However, without Chen Xiaohu, an extraordinary super fighter, this time the Nightmare Ancestor didn't have enough cards to play. But the Nightmare Ancestor wasn't worried. He thought, "If these people have the guts, let them come to Shifang and deal with me!"

After clearing out the five demons, Fang Xiu casually snatched a bunch of kills. A familiar light flew over, and no one present, not even the masked guard Qing Xu, noticed anything. Only Xiao Hu beside him turned around and glanced at him.

"Is it the King of Dongyi and Guanghua?"

Xiao Hu himself naturally couldn't perceive it, so it could only be those two inside him, which is why Tai Xu could see this energy.

In fact, neither the King of Dongyi nor Guanghuazi saw it. It was only Taixu's instinct that made them realize that something seemed to have been absorbed by Fang Xiu just now, and they subconsciously made a sound, which caused Xiaohu to turn around and look at Fang Xiu.

"You bastard!"

Beneath their feet, in the ground of Shifang, the Nightmare Ancestor sensed that his puppets were breaking off one after another, and in anger, he absorbed two other souls.

In the battle against Long Cheng, Yan Zu didn't lose, but he didn't win either.

The Nightmare Ancestor activated Shifang and absorbed the souls of all the citizens of the Kingdom of Bis, but Long Cheng shattered Shifang, making it incomplete. As a result, Shifang's effect was greatly reduced, so much so that even now, despite the Nightmare Ancestor constantly urging the spirit of Shifang to work harder and squeeze it, his power has not been able to recover to its peak.

To unleash the full power of Shifang, it must be restored to its complete state. For the Nightmare Ancestor to be resurrected, Shifang also needs to be complete. Without the Linglong Seal on Meng Buping's body, it will be difficult for him to be resurrected.

"Your Majesty, this place is dangerous. Please return to the palace immediately!" After dealing with the five demons, Liao Qing immediately advised the Jade Emperor.

Although the higher-ups of the Divine Court Guard harbored rebellious intentions, the majority of the members within the Divine Court Guard remained loyal.

"Leave? I came here to investigate a case, but there are still no results. Where do we go?"

The answer is now within reach, so why would the Jade Emperor leave at this time? Besides, there is still something of paramount importance that has not been found.

Shifang!

Back then, Long Cheng used the Shattered Dragon Roar to freeze the entire Kingdom of Bis. What happened to the king who was possessed by Shifang? Where are the other party and Shifang?

When Long Cheng fought the king, the entire city of Bis was almost completely destroyed, with only ruins remaining. And the enemy…

"Your Majesty, if my judgment is correct, the true form of Shifang should be underground." The masked guard bowed to the Jade Emperor and stated his judgment.

Led by the masked guards, the group combined their power and unleashed a spell that created a huge hole in the ground. This was partly due to the power of the spell, and partly because the geology was already loose, with only the surface layer holding it together.

The group flew down through the hole and were met with complete darkness. Even the light from the small flames could not illuminate the surrounding area, leaving only a few meters of visibility.

After falling for a long time, the group finally "landed," but the sensation was quite strange.

"Why is it so soft?"

The sensation underfoot wasn't like earth; it felt like something else entirely.

The entire underground space was abnormally dark, and even with everyone's eyesight, they could not see far. By the light of the flame in Xiao Hu's hand, Yang Zichen, who was quite strong, was the first to spot the figure in front of him.

"There's someone there!"

Following the direction Yang Zichen pointed, everyone looked and indeed saw a figure. But as they approached, the figure collapsed like soft mud, merging with the ground.

"Don't stay on that monster, get on top!"

Carrying the Jade Emperor, the masked guard immediately took to the air, his hands forming hand seals, and a beam of light spread out from him, instantly illuminating the dark underground space.

As the darkness receded, the group realized with shock what kind of place they had entered. What they had just been standing on was not the ground, but the body of an enormous monster, and the entire underground space was enveloped by clumps of writhing flesh.

The light stimulated the monster, and the giant monster, sensing the uninvited guests in the underground space, immediately began to wriggle its fleshy buds and attack the group.

This monster is King Bis, or at least in this body. He has absorbed the souls of tens of thousands of Bis citizens with the help of Shifang's power, and has completely degenerated into a mindless monster.

Tens of thousands of souls coexisted in this body through Shifang, causing the body to become severely mutated. If it weren't for Shifang, this monster would have been destroyed long ago.

The underground space beneath the ruins of the entire Kingdom of Bis had long been hollowed out by termites, and the mutated body of the king filled the entire underground space.

This monster looked intimidating and was incredibly powerful. Coupled with Shifang's bizarre abilities, even the strongest masked guards present dared not be careless.

"Don't touch those fleshy buds directly; use magic to sever them!"

The underground space was affected by Shifang, making teleportation difficult to use. The group used various spells to block the flesh buds.

"Come this way!"

Fang Xiu greeted everyone, and beside him was Eliza, whose body emitted a faint light. Wherever the light passed, the granulation tissue receded.

This is Long Cheng from Shifang exerting his power. Having been in Shifang for many years, Long Cheng has more or less gained the ability to influence Shifang.

When the group arrived at Elizabeth's side, the fleshy buds indeed stopped attacking them, and the enormous monster closed its eyes, which were as big as a calf, once again.

With a safe area secured, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The masked guards stopped performing hand seals, abandoning their plan to summon the Demon-Subduing Vajra. Fang Xiu also silently released his hand, which was about to take out a talisman.

In order to deal with Shifang, and just in case, Fang Xiu had prepared quite a few trump cards.

One of the things Fang Xiu carried in his arms was a magic talisman that could be activated at any time. This was something Fang Xiu had specifically asked Master Xuan Yi for. It had everything from defense to offense, and could handle anything below the Chongxu level. These were Xuan Yi's exact words.

Secondly, there's the Blood Demoness in the team. Although she has lost her memory and her strength has regressed to the Jade Void realm, her sealing technique is still intact. One set of sealing techniques will surely turn the king to stone.

Thirdly, there were the teachers who came with Shenxiang. However, their strength was uncertain, but with such a large group of them, the newcomers were at least not weak.

As for Xiao Hu, although her theoretical burst of power is strong, with two Taixu as a foundation, the actual performance of those two Taixu powers depends on Xiao Hu herself. Unless Xiao Hu explodes and releases the souls of the two, then it will be a different story.

To get rid of the king, we need the strength of Shifang, but there is still the Nightmare Ancestor in Shifang who is a roadblock, so in the end, we must first get rid of the Nightmare Ancestor.

"I'll do it!"

Fang Xiu volunteered to sign up. This kind of thing was most suitable for a mental cultivator. Among the people present, apart from Cui Shao and the other two, Fang Xiu was the only one who could be considered a mental cultivator, and he was also the strongest.

Given a choice, it's naturally more suitable to send someone with stronger abilities. Fang Xiu is at the tenth level of the Jade Void Realm, and compared to Cui Shao and the others, it's more cost-effective to send Fang Xiu.

When Fang Xiu used his astral projection technique, his soul was naturally absorbed by Shi Fang. Fang Xiu sat cross-legged on the ground, with the others protecting him.

Fang Xiu certainly wouldn't put all his soul into Shifang. He used the same trick as before, splitting his soul, but this time the number of souls split was much greater than last time, almost fifty-fifty.

"Your soul power is truly profound."

Even though it was only half of his soul, Fang Xiu was different. Normally, a soul in the Jade Void stage only has an upper body, while the lower body is like smoke. But Fang Xiu's soul was complete. He didn't look like a Jade Void cultivator, but rather like a Pure Void cultivator.

As his soul separated and left his body, Fang Xiu felt dizzy, as if he had fallen into a huge vortex, and in the blink of an eye, he had arrived in an unfamiliar space.
