"This Murong Shi indeed placed a secret restriction spell inside. If it were not for me, it would be fundamentally impossible to discover!" Fang Han sneered darkly in his heart. He knew that this Murong Shi would not honestly expend his effort to hand over the spirit veins and medicinal pills into his hands.
The spirit vein brocade pouch he sent over, and even within the spirit veins and medicinal pills, harbored a hidden secret technique that ordinary Golden Immortals simply could not discover.
But who was Fang Han? The Heavens Cycle Compass among the Thirty-Three Heavens supreme treasures was ten thousand times more wondrous. With a mere calculation, any subtle restriction spell could be discovered.
Based on the calculations, Fang Han discovered that this was an extremely vicious restriction spell. As long as he swallowed the medicinal pills or absorbed the spirit vein's vital energy, it would be able to lie dormant within his body, ready to flare up at any time, secretly accumulating vital energy to become a vicious seed.
The malicious intent of this Jade Mansion Crown Prince Murong Shi was evident.
"It is impolite not to return what one receives! Since you arranged this vicious thing in the spirit vein brocade pouch you traded with me, I will absolutely not be polite either. Great Heart Demon Magic! Primal Heart Demon Scripture! Heart demons are formless, heart demons are traceless, entrusting the void, scattering the primordial spirit, injecting into the sword qi."
Fang Han's mind stirred slightly, and a divine ability, the Great Heart Demon Magic, began to operate. This divine ability, ranked extremely high among the Three Thousand Great Daos, meant that as long as living beings were immortal, heart demons would be immortal.
Having cultivated to the Golden Immortal realm, Fang Han's comprehension of the Great Heart Demon Magic had also reached a limit limit. He could manifest a primal heart demon, manipulate all things, and formlessly and tracelessly invade the mind of a Golden Immortal, causing the opponent to repeatedly spawn illusions at a critical juncture of cultivation.
Jade Mansion Crown Prince Murong Shi used a vicious restriction spell to sneak attack him, so he used the Great Heart Demon Magic to counterattack.
"Crown Prince Murong, these are two threads of the Sword of Loss qi. You must subdue and suppress them well, lest they break through the air and fly away."
With a flick of his hand, Fang Han shot out the two threads of sword qi.
"You can rest assured about this. It is likely that the sword qi you can suppress cannot stump I, Murong Shi." Murong Shi's eyes held a bit of smugness, carrying the flavor of an evil plot succeeding. Crystal light talismans shot out from his hand, forcibly suppressing the sword qi and then taking it into his body.
"Buzz!"
At the very instant the sword qi entered his body, Fang Han clearly sensed the various conditions within Murong Shi's body.
The Great Heart Demon Magic hid within the sword qi, like a void demon, a primal demon, meticulously observing every movement in every part of his body. Any divine abilities, vital energy, and Golden Immortal laws were vividly displayed.
Moreover, Murong Shi noticed nothing at all.
The Great Heart Demon Magic was the most profound and obscure, and not many between heaven and earth knew it. At the very least, besides the Heart Demon Old Man, Fang Han had not seen any expert execute it, even in the celestial realm.
What was even more formidable was that Fang Han combined the Great Heart Demon Magic with the Dao of Heaven Stealing, making it impossible for anyone to see the clues within.
"This person has such powerful Golden Immortal laws!"
As soon as Fang Han penetrated into the opponent's body to observe, he saw that the Golden Immortal laws throughout Murong Shi's body were incomparably massive, even comparable to his own. They were the thickness of a human thigh, and the color was not ordinary gold, but a kind of lapis lazuli color. At a glance, one could tell it was the immensely solidly condensed kind.
Furthermore, within the Golden Immortal laws, there was also an incomparably formidable ancestral spirit aura. This was the aura of comprehending the Dao of Ancestral Immortals. However, it was very obvious that Murong Shi had not comprehended the Dao of Ancestral Immortals, but had merely been infused with divine ability aura by an expert at the Ancestral Immortal level.
"Let me see just how many divine abilities he has cultivated. And what formidable magical treasures are inside his body?"
As Fang Han operated the Great Heart Demon Magic, he vaguely discovered that deep within the countless spatial labyrinths of Murong Shi's body lay some powerful dormant auras.
These were the auras of high-grade immortal artifacts.
Within his body, there was the aura of more than one high-grade immortal artifact.
What was most formidable was that deep within the opponent's heart, the aura transmitted over was the strongest. It was simply a myriad layers of crystal light illuminating various spaces. Fang Han could barely see clearly that it was emitted by an exceptionally dilapidated ancient mirror.
That ancient mirror was severely dilapidated, just a scrap piece. Yet the crystal light it exerted was simply eye-piercing, capable of melting any Golden Immortal laws.
"What is this? A scrap piece of a dilapidated ancient mirror?" Fang Han was greatly shocked, "To think it is so formidable? It obviously surpasses a high-grade immortal artifact. Could it be, could it be a dilapidated peerless immortal artifact?"
Above high-grade immortal artifacts were peerless immortal artifacts. And then King grade immortal artifacts.
Peerless immortal artifacts were already earth-shattering treasures, massive treasures that could suppress antiquity and plunder a region. Even a fragment piece was exceedingly extraordinary.
Such a thing required experts at the Origin Immortal or Sage level to join forces to refine in order to produce it.
A Sage meant a "Sage Immortal" who had comprehended the supreme Holy Dao.
Woo woo woo, woo woo woo! The two threads of the Sword of Loss qi struggled with all their might, finally being driven by Murong Shi deep into his heart, in front of that mass of the dilapidated ancient mirror.
Immediately, crystal light shot out onto them, slowly suppressing the sword qi.
Fang Han instantly felt that his Great Heart Demon Magic showed signs of being strangled, so he immediately severed the connection with the heart demon, sneering repeatedly in his heart: "My Great Heart Demon Magic is fused with my Dao of Heaven Stealing. Unless your realm is higher than mine, you cannot thoroughly strangle it. Otherwise, don't even think about it."
Murong Shi's complexion changed, obviously in the process of refining the qi of the Sword of Loss.
Suddenly, an immense sword intent from within his body could not be suppressed and erupted outwards, soaring into the sky. Its cutting force caused even the celestial vault to split open.
"Hahahahaha… The sword qi of a King grade immortal artifact is exactly the supreme beneficial item for me to cultivate my supreme sword art, the Jade Emperor Holy Dao Wondrous Great Venerable Sword Incantation! Now, my sword qi is finally fully mastered!"
Murong Shi let out a long howl, looking around. He was radiant with energy, and heavenly light flashed.
"Jade Emperor Holy Dao Wondrous Great Venerable Sword Incantation!"
Both Xu Muyun and Bi Yu'er were shocked. The two transmitted divine wills to Fang Han at the same time: "You miscalculated this time. For the sake of a few King grade immortal pills and two tier-one spirit veins, you let Murong Shi cultivate this legendary sword incantation! A supreme absolute art of the ancient Heavenly Court!"
"What?"
Fang Han's expression remained unmoved. Watching Murong Shi's transformation, he secretly utilized the Primal Heart Demon Scripture in his heart. At this very moment, using the Great Heart Demon Magic in coordination with the Dao of Heaven Stealing, he had already followed the sword qi and infiltrated the depths of Murong Shi's mind.
However, right now it form was being suppressed by Murong Shi's dilapidated ancient mirror scrap.
As long as Murong Shi revealed the slightest flaw, Fang Han could take advantage of the weakness to enter, even taking control of this person's entire body and mind to deliver a destructive blow.
This meant Fang Han had planted a trump card ambush inside his body.
If it were solely the Great Heart Demon Magic, there was a possibility of it being annihilated, but combined with the Dao of Heaven Stealing, unless Murong Shi advanced to the Ancestral Immortal realm, it would be impossible for him to discover.
"Feng Yuan, this sword incantation holds the profound meaning that ghosts and gods cannot fathom. It is a sword art recorded in the 'Martial Scripture of All Emperors' passed down from the Heavenly Court. The ancient absolute arts of the Heavenly Court each surpass all others, especially the general outline in the rumored 'Martial Scripture of All Emperors', the Supreme Heaven Supreme Holy Exalted Emperor God Governing True Method, which is the general outline for all Heavenly Court martial arts. However, it had been lost long ago, taken away by an ancient Heavenly Lord."
Xu Muyun said: "Now that you sold the qi of the Sword of Loss to Murong Shi and he has cultivated this sword incantation, I fear he will cause us great trouble in the days to come. This person's ambition is boundlessly large."
"No matter!" Fang Han smiled and suddenly let out a long howl: "Congratulations to Crown Prince Murong for mastering the Jade Emperor Holy Dao Wondrous Great Venerable Sword Incantation. It seems to indeed be peerlessly unparalleled. We now have greater assurance in exploring the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb. We wasted quite a bit of time battling these Divine Turtle Heaven King Beasts, we must hurry to the Chaotic God Sea as soon as possible. Let us depart."
The sword qi was like a tide, wave after wave. That massive sword qi condensed into the phantom of a jade-like emperor.
Murong Shi slowly gathered the sword qi back. Raising his eyebrows and listening to Fang Han's words, a trace of killing intent manifested on his face. He seemed on the verge of immediately striking Fang Han to slay him and snatch the two tier-one spirit veins back. He even wanted to refine Fang Han's entire person to obtain the other two threads of the Sword of Loss qi within his body.
However, turning his thoughts over, he still endured it, and a calm smile returned to his face: "Brother Feng Yuan, you speak well. We cannot forget our proper business. Going to the Chaotic God Sea to find the Ghost Martial Sage Lord's tomb and completing the Heavenly Court's mission is the right path."
"Then let's go!"
Fang Han's body took to the air first.
The others also followed behind. With a swish, they entered the depths of the Black Hell Storm.
Next, the group shuttled through the Black Hell Storm. Along the way, they also encountered many formidable demonic beasts, even existences on the same level as the Divine Turtle Heaven King Beast, such as the "Seven-Colored Black Tortoise Spirit", "Ironclad Great Demon Shark", and "Yin Yang Ghost Fish". However, Fang Han did not engage in much entanglement with these groups; he just charged and killed his way through, no longer wasting Primal Qi.
Even so, Fang Han still obtained considerable benefits.
The talisman of the Epoch Divine Fist grew increasingly pure, and his core comprehension of the Dao of the Epoch grew ever more profound.
At the same time, Fang Han truly came to experience the dangers on the sea. Countless demons traveled in packs; whenever they appeared, it was in massive swathes, densely packed by the millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
Among those demonic beast armies, there were Heavenly Immortals, Divine Immortals, Mystic Immortals, and half-step Golden Immortal mighty figures. But any Golden Immortal demonic beast was the ruler of a species.
As Fang Han flew rapidly along the way, he discovered quite a few powerful Golden Immortal demonic beasts with auras like oceans and abysses. However, he did not find any demonic beasts stronger than Golden Immortals, nor did he discover any King grade spirit veins.
King grade spirit veins were unimaginably precious and majestic; Fang Han did not possess the ability to collect them. If there were such spirit veins, they would surely be taken away by invincible mighty figures, and it would not be Fang Han's turn anyway.
Flying on the sea, it was indeed very easy for even Golden Immortals to be besieged by demons and slashed to death.
"The Black Hell Storm has stopped!"
Suddenly, Murong Shi spoke.
Sure enough, the storm ahead died down, and the army of demons within the storm scattered and vanished one after another. Fang Han only felt his vision brighten, and the great sun of the celestial realm emerged once again on the heavenly vault.
After this bout of slaughter, he did not know how many half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure demons he had slain. All of them were refined, and the Golden Immortal laws within his body had increased to a full seventy thousand threads.
"We have also arrived at the Chaotic God Sea." Xu Muyun saw the sea surface in the distance clearly.
Fang Han's heart chilled as he sensed a myriad of iron-blooded conquests and the auras of fallen ancient gods and demons transmitted from the distant sea surface.
The Chaotic God Sea was the ancient battlefield!
