Inside the entire lair of the "Divine Turtle Heaven King Beast", there were extremely many treasures. There were dozens of low-grade immortal artifacts, and spiritual herbs covered large swathes, although nothing particularly precious was spotted.
Fang Han did not care about any of these. He threw everything into the Eight-部 Furnace and the "Heaven Patching Furnace" to be refined into a mass of nameless true qi. After hammering it to the utmost limit, it was used to nourish his own "Epoch Divine Fist".
Through such a battle and destroying the lair of the "Divine Turtle Heaven King Beast", his Epoch Divine Fist received another excellent tempering. Especially by killing nine Golden Immortal level old turtles and simultaneously destroying the brewing grand array of the Sword of Loss. All of this enriched the cultivation base of the Epoch Divine Fist.
With a mass of the "Sea Marquis Holy Spring Eye" resembling an azure-blue eyeball stored in his body, Fang Han felt rolling vital energy gathering. His entire body's divine kingdoms began to run violently, and he no longer had the feeling of lacking Primal Qi.
Next, heading to the Chaotic God Sea to explore the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb, having enough Primal Qi meant he could fully display his capabilities without having to fear anything.
Especially when Fang Han destroyed the Sea Marquis Grand Array, he shattered the grand array summoning the Sword of Loss and obtained a strand of true Sword of Loss qi. That sword qi was now suppressed in his body, gradually being restrained by the aura of the Creation Divine Artifacts and becoming tame.
This gleam of sword qi was extremely fierce, simply surpassing high-grade immortal artifacts.
Fang Han felt that using it to sneak attack enemies in the future would be very useful.
On the sea surface, the Black Hell Storm became more and more violent.
The army of Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts swarmed over densely, and there were other demonic beasts constantly besieging and killing the Jade Mansion Crown Prince Murong Shi, Xu Muyun, and the others from all sides.
However, these peerless Golden Immortals were all formidable individually and were fundamentally not afraid. They merely watched the situation quietly, waiting for the Black Hell Storm to pass before launching a desperate counterattack.
Because within the storm, the divine abilities of the demonic beasts would greatly increase. Once the storm passed, the demonic beasts would weaken.
"That Feng Yuan charged into the army, saying he was going to perform a beheading? Why is there no movement at all now?" Su Feiyang had already moved closer to the Jade Mansion Crown Prince Murong Shi. Rolling up his sword qi, he slaughtered hundreds of charging "Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts", as well as some "Black Water King Snakes".
"Black Water King Snakes" also existed in the celestial realm, and they had considerable divine abilities in the sea. But obviously, they were vassals to the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts. Within the army, every Heaven King Beast raised quite a few Heavenly Immortal, Divine Immortal, or even Mystic Immortal level Black Water King Snakes. Released to roll tumbling waves, they added even more momentum.
"Humph! Overestimating his own capabilities. Perhaps he is already trapped inside. There are also great divine ability users among demonic beasts. Moreover, recent rumors say the emperor of the sea has already begun to awaken, transmitting astonishing will. The Heavenly Court received secret news long ago. The King grade immortal artifact, the Sword of Loss, which had slumbered in the sea for countless eras, has also stepped out from being dust-covered, and its magic power has grown! It is faintly on the verge of cultivating into a Saint grade immortal artifact. At that time, it will be roughly comparable to an existence at the Heavenly Lord level. For this matter, the Heavenly Court has already reported it to several reigning Heavenly Lords, and countermeasures are currently being discussed. Many powerful marine demonic beast tribes are also restless, seeming to have received letters spread by the Sea Race Emperor's envoys."
Murong Shi spoke of a piece of secret information: "If this is truly the case, the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beast, as a powerful species in the sea, will definitely be subdued by the Sea Emperor's envoy. There might even be some trump cards inside. Why did I delay taking action for so long? I was precisely calculating some matters. Otherwise, if I unleashed my divine abilities, I could also sweep through the army."
"There is such a hidden matter? an Emperor of the Sea Race?" Wei Dongsheng and the others were greatly shocked.
"Then if this Feng Yuan went in and encountered some trump cards, I fear his situation is fraught with grim possibilities," Fen Chen laughed: "We were still counting on him to act as a meat shield when we enter the Chaotic God Sea."
Rumble!
Just as his words fell, within the army of the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts, a blazing sun-like mass of essence light ascended. Fang Han's body stood tall, like an overlord of the sea, and his entire body bloomed with streaks of golden long rainbows.
He grabbed with his large hand, and tens of thousands of Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts entered his body.
His frame shook, and another ten thousand demonic beasts all exploded, transforming into dragon-shaped blood qi that was absorbed by him. The entire army of Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts instantly collapsed and scattered.
Roar roar roar, roar roar roar!
In the depths of the army, a full three powerful Golden Immortal divine turtles broke through the air and rose up. Each unleashed a peculiar ancient sword phantom and slashed toward Fang Han.
"The qi of the Sword of Loss!"
Xu Muyun cried out.
"Indeed, there is a trump card in this Divine Turtle Heaven King Beast tribe. The power of a single thread of the Sword of Loss qi surpasses a high-grade immortal artifact. Slaughtering immortals and executing gods, it is unhindered anywhere. Even if I were heavily sneak attacked and had the sword qi enter my body, the pain would be unbearable, at the very least injuring me for a long time." Murong Shi's face also changed color.
However, under the siege, Fang Han was not afraid in the slightest. With a wave of his large hand, the qi of the Sword of Loss also appeared in his hand. Twisting and winding around as dragons and snakes danced wildly, he actually collected those three threads of sword qi.
"Bang bang bang…"!
In the moment of shock for the three sword-wielding Golden Immortal old turtles, their heads were smashed apart by Fang Han's punch, blowing into powder. They were entirely absorbed without wasting a single bit.
"Good, very good! The Golden Immortal laws inside my body have increased by another three thousand threads!" Upon absorbing all the essential blood, vital energy, and laws of the three great divine turtle Golden Immortals, Fang Han's power grew stronger once again.
"Slaughter them all!"
His body rushed upwards. Countless vortexes surrounded his body, nearly rolling in more than half of the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beast army.
The remaining scattered demonic beasts began to scatter in the storm.
"Haha, haha!" Having routed the army of the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts, slain three Golden Immortal divine turtles to obtain a large amount of essential blood and vital energy, and integrating another three identical threads of the Sword of Loss qi into his body, Fang Han was extremely complacent.
The harvest this time was no small matter.
Swish!
He landed in front of Xu Muyun.
"Feng Yuan! You!"
Xu Muyun was just about to question him when Fang Han already spoke up, "When I charged into the grand array just now, I did not rush to slaughter, but searched downwards. Upon reaching the deep sea, I destroyed the lair of the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts and collected their spirit vein, the Sea Marquis Holy Spring Eye. I slaughtered their tribe entirely clean, and only then did I come up. To route the army."
"What? In such a short amount of time? You actually managed to destroy the lair of the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts?"
Bi Yu'er's eyes jolted, simply unable to believe it: "In the lair of the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts, there are nine grand elders who are all peerless Golden Immortals guarding the sea eye. Their strength is incomparably formidable, and the outside has been operated for millions of celestial realm years, laden with restriction spells. I once sneaked in, but couldn't find the slightest flaw."
"You don't believe it?"
Fang Han smiled slightly. A giant azure-blue eyeball appeared in his palm. It circulated for a moment, then sank back into his body.
"It really is the Sea Marquis Holy Spring Eye!"
Murong Shi, Su Feiyang, and even Wei Dongsheng and the others flew over, an expression of envy manifesting in their eyes. Even Murong Shi was extremely tempted by this holy spring eye, which was equivalent to more than thirty tier-one spirit veins. Though he was the Heavenly Court Jade Mansion Crown Prince, to speak the truth, the Heavenly Court Jade Mansion was just a minor institution, and there were thousands of such institutions in the Heavenly Court. The perks were not that abundant, although it was a world of difference compared to ordinary large sects.
"Feng Yuan, you have struck a windfall."
Murong Shi steadied his gaze, "But what I didn't expect is that you could actually subdue the qi of the Sword of Loss."
"Indeed, this sword qi is extremely vicious, but I can barely suppress it!" Fang Han said indifferently. He flipped his palm out again, and four threads of sword qi appeared within it. One primary thread of sword qi was slightly docile, but the other three threads were as ferocious as eternal evil dragons, with dense murderous intent permeating out from them.
The first docile thread of sword qi was what Fang Han seized from the lair of the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts. The other three threads were obtained from the three divine turtle commanders when he just slaughtered the army in the storm.
Those three divine turtle commanders were originally individuals of formidable strength as well, but regrettably they met Fang Han. In a single encounter, they were killed, devoured, and refined.
"It really is the qi of the Sword of Loss!"
Miraculous lights shone from Murong Shi's eyes. He suddenly opened his mouth and said: "I wonder, Brother Feng, can you transfer these four threads of sword qi to me? Whatever conditions you want, feel free to name your price."
"Oh?" Fang Han looked at Murong Shi and secretly utilized the Cave Heaven Eye. He discovered that inside this person's body, there seemed to be a mirror-like ancient treasure reflecting brilliance, making it fundamentally impossible to clearly see his cultivation base.
That mirror-like ancient treasure was obviously a high-grade immortal artifact.
However, Fang Han had seen Murong Shi attack several times and felt that he cultivated a very profound Dao of the sword. If he could integrate the qi of the Sword of Loss, he would definitely receive tremendous benefits.
But this was nothing to him. Having melted parts of the Creation Divine Artifacts, unless the true Sword of Loss arrived, the sword qi could do nothing to him.
"How about it? Name a price, Brother Feng Yuan." Murong Shi spoke again.
"Hmm…" Fang Han stayed silent for a moment: "These four threads of sword qi are exceptionally precious, and I need them to cultivate a profound art. But since you, Crown Prince Murong, want them, I cannot refuse. In that case, I will give up two threads to you. What I lack right now are Golden Immortal laws and Primal Qi spirit veins. How about this? For each thread of sword qi, give me ten King grade immortal pills and one tier-one spirit vein."
"What? This price…" Murong Shi frowned: "With this price, you can even buy a high-grade immortal artifact. A tier-one spirit vein is no small matter."
A single tier-one spirit vein could establish a massive sect like the Heaven Spring Sect.
The price Fang Han named was akin to taking a knife to hack meat. However, looking at the qi of the Sword of Loss, Murong Shi's face retained a dark look for a long while before he still couldn't help but agree.
Seeing Murong Shi's expression, Fang Han realized that if he did not possess enough martial strength himself, the other party might have forcefully snatched them.
"Here are two tier-one spirit veins as well as twenty King grade immortal pills. Take them well." Murong Shi threw out a brocade pouch from his sleeve. Fang Han's divine will penetrated into it, and sure enough, he discovered two tier-one spirit veins as well as King grade pills. Those King grade pills were also highly potent, containing over a thousand Golden Immortal laws. Although not as good as the War World Divine Pill, they were fairly comparable to the Myriad Heart Night Emperor Pill.
However, Fang Han faintly noticed an unusual aura deep inside that brocade pouch—it seemed to be a restricting spell…
