Chapter 1040

Chapter 1040 Sacred Hand

 

Fang Yu coldly looked at the eight-winged divine messenger in the sky, gripped the Heaven Dome Holy Halberd covered in separation fire, and hurled it violently!

“Bang!”

The Heaven Dome Holy Halberd transformed into a flaming spear, tearing through the sky.

Before the distant eight-winged divine messenger could react, the Heaven Dome Holy Halberd had already reached him.

“Whoosh!”

Once again, the Heaven Dome Holy Halberd easily penetrated the body of the eight-winged divine messenger.

But unlike before, a spark ignited at the punctured hole.

This tiny spark caused flames to burst forth in the blink of an eye!

The body of the eight-winged divine messenger was immediately covered in crimson-gold flames!

“Sizzle…”

The sound of burning flesh echoed.

Black smoke billowed.

In just a few seconds, the eight-winged divine messenger was burned to charcoal.

“The separation fire is somewhat useful,” Fang Yu thought.

With a mere thought, the Heaven Dome Holy Halberd rushed toward another eight-winged divine messenger.

“Separation fire isn’t just somewhat useful, it’s extremely useful!”

At this moment, a dissatisfied childish voice sounded in Fang Yu’s ear.

Fang Yu knew this was the voice of the Separation Fire Jade.

“I did say the separation fire is useful,” Fang Yu said.

“Your tone was wrong! You don’t respect the separation fire enough! Especially when it’s enhanced by the Sun Flame Heart!” the Separation Fire Jade complained.

Fang Yu had no interest in arguing with the Separation Fire Jade over such matters, so he said, “I’m sorry, my mistake.”

The Separation Fire Jade snorted coldly and said, “Your current opponents are too weak, so naturally you can’t appreciate how formidable I am… When you encounter slightly stronger opponents in the future, you’ll understand how important I am.”

“That opportunity may never come again. On today’s Earth… I fear there are no powerful opponents left,” Fang Yu said helplessly.

“Who told you opponents must come from Earth… Ahem! I need to rest now, goodbye.” The Separation Fire Jade cut off mid-sentence, coughed dryly, and fell silent.

Fang Yu heard that half-sentence very clearly.

Opponents don’t necessarily come from Earth?

Then where would they come from? Perhaps from outer space?

“Whoosh!”

While pondering, the Heaven Dome Holy Halberd returned to Fang Yu’s side.

Fang Yu looked up and saw only falling ashes in front of him.

Looking in another direction, he saw no trace of divine messengers.

The Heaven Dome Holy Halberd had not only eliminated the two eight-winged divine messengers but also dispatched the two six-winged divine messengers.

All twelve divine messengers sent by the Temple of Gods had been eliminated.

“Any more?”

Fang Yu raised his head and shouted toward the sky.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no response.

Fang Yu withdrew the Heaven Dome Holy Halberd into his body and turned to look around.

Below, Luo Island was already mostly submerged by seawater.

There were no enemies approaching from any direction.

Was that it?

On the Wall of Prophecy, he had clearly seen a twelve-winged divine messenger.

Yet despite causing such a commotion, the twelve-winged divine messenger still hadn’t appeared.

“It seems the Wall of Prophecy isn’t reliable… but the Temple of Gods wanting to cause me trouble is true… Perhaps I displayed such strong power that the twelve-winged divine messenger didn’t dare to appear?” Fang Yu frowned in thought.

This wasn’t impossible.

Just like the Immortal King before, and Dao Kong now… they were hiding because they feared Fang Yu’s strength.

They would only appear when confident they could defeat him.

Such an approach made sense.

But for Fang Yu, it was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, uncomfortable.

He had traveled thousands of miles to the Western Regions, intending to wipe out the Temple of Gods.

But the Temple of Gods had merely sent some cannon fodder to test the waters, then retreated.

The Temple of Gods was virtually invisible in today’s world, with very few people aware of its existence, let alone its specific location.

For Fang Yu to find the whereabouts of the Temple of Gods would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

“Forget it, if the Wall of Prophecy is real… I’ll eventually meet the twelve-winged divine messenger.”

Fang Yu shook his head, suppressed his aura, and flew toward the distant land.

…

Purple Orchid stared wide-eyed at Fang Yu who appeared before her.

There wasn’t a single wound on Fang Yu’s body.

It was simply unbelievable.

“No new divine messengers appeared, so that’s it, let’s go,” Fang Yu said.

Purple Orchid looked at Fang Yu, still in a state of shock.

“Who… exactly are you?” Purple Orchid couldn’t help asking.

“I’m just an ordinary cultivator,” Fang Yu said, “I’ve just cultivated a bit longer than others.”

“Let’s leave this place first.”

Feeling the gazes from all around, Fang Yu immediately flew upward.

Purple Orchid watched Fang Yu’s retreating figure, bit her lip, and followed him into the distance.

…

“Will you stay in the Western Regions to fend for yourself, or come with me to Northern Capital to heal?” Fang Yu asked.

At the mention of this, Purple Orchid’s eyes became lifeless.

Her organization destroyed, she was now homeless and didn’t know what to do.

Moreover, she had lost her right arm.

For her, losing her right arm… was like becoming disabled, something she couldn’t accept.

“I can help heal your right arm,” Fang Yu said.

Purple Orchid’s dull eyes immediately brightened as she looked at Fang Yu and asked, “Really?”

“Yes, but there’s a condition,” Fang Yu said.

Purple Orchid’s expression fell as she said, “I have nothing left, I can’t meet your conditions.”

“The condition shouldn’t be too difficult for you,” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and said, “Since your organization is gone, work for me from now on.”

Hearing this condition, Purple Orchid was stunned.

“Don’t worry, I won’t make you do anything particularly difficult. The more challenging tasks… I’ll handle myself,” Fang Yu said with narrowed eyes, “What I’ll have you do are just small matters.”

Purple Orchid lowered her head, thought for a few seconds, then looked up again: “If… you can restore my right arm… I’m willing to accept your condition.”

“Deal,” Fang Yu said.

The two quickly flew away from the city center to the outskirts.

Finding an open area, Fang Yu descended from the sky.

“Flying back would waste too much time, let’s teleport instead,” Fang Yu said.

From this location to Northern Capital was nearly 20,000 kilometers.

The teleportation technique in the Void Ring couldn’t support such a long-distance teleportation in one go.

With a limit of 5,000 kilometers per teleport, it would take at least four consecutive teleports to reach Northern Capital.

Doing so would not only strain the spatial energy in the Void Ring.

More importantly, Purple Orchid’s body couldn’t withstand so many intense teleportations.

They needed to set up a teleportation array on the spot to cross the 20,000-kilometer distance.

Fang Yu took out some materials from the storage space in his Void Ring.

Twenty fist-sized spirit stones to serve as the array’s focal points.

The rest was simple, just arranging the formation.

While Fang Yu was setting up the array, Purple Orchid could only stand aside watching silently.

She hadn’t grown up in Yan Xia and had never cultivated, so she knew nothing about teleportation techniques.

…

About half an hour later, Fang Yu stood up.

“Done.”

At his feet appeared a large, complex array.

A total of twenty focal points, each with a spirit stone, to maintain the array’s stability.

The array was fine; the only concern was whether these twenty spirit stones would be enough to sustain such a long-distance teleportation.

But there was no alternative—Fang Yu only had these twenty spirit stones on him, so they would have to make do.

“Step into the array, stand behind me, and don’t touch the spirit stones,” Fang Yu told Purple Orchid.

Purple Orchid nodded, lightly jumped, and landed behind Fang Yu.

Fang Yu joined his palms and recited an incantation.

Then, the Void Ring on his finger emitted a glow.

A large amount of spatial energy poured into the array beneath his feet.

“Whoosh!”

The array emitted an intense light.

After nearly five seconds, the light suddenly flashed and disappeared.

The twenty spirit stones in the array instantly turned white, losing their glow.

…

Fang Yu and Purple Orchid entered an extremely long spatial tunnel.

For Purple Orchid, this was a test of her physical endurance.

But for Fang Yu, this level of spatial tearing sensation wasn’t even enough to tickle him.

Plus, the spatial tunnel he created was relatively stable, not bumpy.

So, traveling through it was quite comfortable.

The two sped through the spatial tunnel, already seeing the exit getting closer.

After several seconds, Fang Yu’s expression slightly changed as he looked to his left.

He sensed a powerful divine force appearing outside the spatial tunnel at that very moment!

Outside the spatial tunnel? What was happening?

“Be careful…” Fang Yu turned his head to warn Purple Orchid.

But in the next second, a crack appeared in the left wall of the spatial tunnel.

“Whoosh!”

Through the crack, a jade-white hand emitting a faint glow suddenly reached out and grabbed Fang Yu’s arm.

“Bang!”

In the next moment, Fang Yu’s entire body was forcibly pulled out of the spatial tunnel, disappearing from Purple Orchid’s view.

Purple Orchid’s face changed dramatically, wanting to speak.

But the spatial tunnel kept pushing her forward, and she had no control over her body, instantly passing the area where Fang Yu had been.

She looked back but couldn’t even see the crack anymore.
