Man is in the heavens, parasitic on the way

Fang Ming sensed the aura of the Ten Thousand Demon Banner.

Evidently, once the great battle erupted, the Mother of the Silverfish would surely summon numerous Ming Insects to assist, and the Ten Thousand Demon Banner was an excellent countermeasure.

Moreover, the Mother of the Silverfish also had three special Ming Insects helping her. These three special Ming Insects were extremely powerful, and one of them was the Mother of the Silverfish's projection avatar, whose strength was exceptionally high among Great Ascension Cultivators.

Within the eleven Ten Thousand Demon Banners, there were tens of millions of Demon Clan true souls, as well as the Ten Great Demon Gods, and the Supreme Demon God within the main banner.

Especially that Supreme Demon God, whose strength was formidable; after devouring three Great Ascension Cultivators, his power was very strong. Coupled with the Demon Gods of the sub-banners, it was not a problem to tie down the Mother of the Silverfish's special Ming Insects.

With the assistance of the Ten Thousand Demon Banner, Old Devil's chances of defeating the Mother of the Silverfish were quite high.

Both the Mother of the Silverfish and Old Devil possessed powerful physiques. The final clash would inevitably be a bloody close-quarters battle.

Fang Ming believed that the physique Old Devil cultivated after mastering the Xuan Tian True Skill he created was absolutely no weaker than the True Extreme Body.

Furthermore, the spirit sword he currently possessed was far more powerful than the original Mystic Heaven Spirit Severing Sword. Even if the Mother of the Silverfish could use Time laws and Spirit Domain, Old Devil's chances of winning were still greater.

Fang Ming was well aware of how powerful the Mystic Heaven Spirit Severing Sword he had re-nurtured was. When used to its full potential, the Mother of the Silverfish's Spirit Domain would absolutely not be able to withstand it and would be cleaved open by a single sword strike.

Even the effect of Time laws would be greatly reduced!

With a shift in thought, golden light scattered from a golden Immortal Vine, transforming into a pale golden mirror several zhang in size, which appeared.

The surface of the pale golden mirror blurred for a moment, then clear images and roaring sounds appeared.

It was precisely the scene of Han Li battling the Mother of the Silverfish.

This was a form of spatial law application, not a particularly remarkable divine ability.

In the image, the four-headed, eight-armed Xuan Tian Golden Body, over a thousand zhang tall, was engaged in an intensely fierce battle with the equally thousand-zhang-tall Mother of the Silverfish.

The four-headed, eight-armed Xuan Tian Demon God Golden Body wielded eight heavy weapons of various shapes. Wherever they passed, the void roared and crumbled inch by inch.

The Mother of the Silverfish's leg-like appendages in front of her were equally terrifying, causing the void to shatter with each thrust.

Each collision caused the vast earth to break apart, and countless scorching hot lava surged into the sky, the spectacle being terrifyingly immense.

It appeared to be an evenly matched battle; only such a confrontation could create such a terrifying scene.

The battle between Fang Ming and Ma Liang was a complete one-sided crushing, and the ground below was not damaged much.

"Old Devil's strength is quite a bit stronger than before. He can actually contend with the Mother of the Silverfish without igniting his root fire, and he even seems to hold a slight advantage..." Within the Immortal Vine's inner world, Fang watched the scene in the mirror with interest.

The original Old Devil needed to ignite his root fire to contend with the Mother of the Silverfish's True Extreme Body. Now, merely manifesting the Xuan Tian Golden Body was sufficient.

After igniting the root fire, both his magic power and physical body would increase by more than double, a huge amplification!

With a flash of golden light, the scene on the mirror changed.

It was like an endless army was charging and killing, with countless Ming Insects and countless ferocious demonic beasts fighting madly.

Within a hundred thousand li, countless heaven and earth elemental energies gathered!

The eleven black Ten Thousand Demon Banners were surrounded by countless demonic creatures. Black light surged, and innumerable demonic beasts flew out, charging towards the vast sea of insects.

These demonic beasts were simply inexhaustible. After being killed, they merely transformed into a special demonic energy and then quickly reformed and manifested again.

In the sky, eleven different Demon Gods were fighting against three special Ming Insects.

One Ming Insect, like a dark-skinned girl, was the manifestation of the Mother of the Silverfish's projection power, currently battling the main Demon God, the spectacle being terrifyingly immense.

The Demon God of the main banner was also powerful, not falling too far behind in the fight against her projection avatar.

The remaining ten Demon Gods were each dealing with a terrifying Ming Insect; one had a human face and insect body, with giant hands like mountains and an incredibly sturdy form; another was shaped like a longhorn beetle, its body crystalline, with numerous tentacles, and powerful divine sense.

One-on-one, the Ten Great Demon Gods were naturally no match for those two special Ming Insects, but five against one was different.

After watching for a while, Fang Ming turned his attention to Ma Liang, who was bound by chains formed by the Great Yin-Yang Five Elements True Light.

The battle between Old Devil and the Mother of the Silverfish was not particularly interesting. As time went on, Old Devil's slight advantage would inevitably gradually expand until he completely defeated the Mother of the Silverfish.

With a flash of golden light, a golden Immortal Vine pierced through the void and touched Ma Liang's glabella. Fang Ming's vast and powerful divine sense surged in, intending to perform soul-searching.

Ma Liang was from the Nine Yuan Temple in the Immortal Realm, a force founded by the Dao Ancestor. The numerous secret techniques and cultivation methods within his soul were of immeasurable value.

The only things of value on Ma Liang were the cultivation methods and secret techniques within his soul, as well as the Heaven Stealing Bottle, which was a replica of the palm heaven bottle.

A golden light flashed, and a strange fluctuation spread from the golden Immortal Vine, entering Ma Liang's glabella.

Fang Ming was attempting to break the restrictions within Ma Liang's soul.

The soul of a True Immortal from such a major force in the Upper Realm could naturally not be easily breached for soul-searching.

It was protected by layers of restrictions.

"As expected of a major force in the Upper Realm, the complexity and profoundness of these restrictions far exceed imagination!" Within the Immortal Vine's inner world, Fang Ming frowned, finding it extremely difficult.

Despite his powerful divine sense, he still couldn't break through the restrictions within Ma Liang's soul and didn't obtain anything.

The restrictions locking Ma Liang's soul were extremely complex and profound. Even he could only barely discern some clues.

Fang Ming was not confident he could break these restrictions.

"I can only think of a way to try bit by bit in the future," Fang Ming shook his head.

He had plenty of time in the future. If he slowly broke them down, he believed he would gain something.

The golden Immortal Vine touching Ma Liang's glabella trembled, and a small green bottle appeared.

Along with this green bottle, a golden jade bracelet also appeared.

Fang Ming didn't pay much attention to the jade bracelet, his focus mostly on the green bottle.

This bottle was almost exactly the same as the palm heaven bottle Fang Ming had seen many times, just a bit larger, measuring six inches.

With a spatial fluctuation, the six-inch bottle disappeared.

As for the jade bracelet, it was wrapped by a golden Immortal Vine and ignored.

Within the Immortal Vine Seed's inner world, Fang Ming manifested. The bottle that had just disappeared was now in his hand.

Playing with the green bottle, Fang Ming showed a thoughtful expression.

After a while, he swept his divine sense over the mirror reflecting the fierce battle between Han Li and the Mother of the Silverfish and muttered to himself, "Is the Bottle Spirit of the palm heaven bottle on the Mother of the Silverfish, or has it been hidden by her?"

"It might be worth a try. The green liquid produced by the palm heaven bottle is extremely effective. If I can comprehend its profoundness, it's not impossible to nurture a replica!" As Fang Ming's thoughts turned, he released his senses and carefully searched.

For Immortal Vines and spiritual plants like him, the effectiveness of the palm heaven bottle was beyond doubt. After obtaining this replica from Ma Liang, Fang Ming had this idea.

If he could obtain the Artifact Spirit, he might be able to study the profoundness of the palm heaven bottle more deeply and thus independently nurture a Xuan Tian Treasure with similar effects to the palm heaven bottle.

Admittedly, the effect of a palm heaven bottle he nurtured himself couldn't compare to the original. After all, that was a Xuan Tian item born from chaos when the Heavenly Dao first appeared.

With his current abilities being far inferior, it was naturally impossible to replicate it perfectly.
