As soon as Nangong Mie entered, he made a lethal move against Fang Han.
He was holding a stomach full of anger.
As a Supreme Ancestral Immortal, failing to open the seal just now had caused him to lose all face. If word of this spread later, it would be hard for him to carry himself in public. In his heart, there was an impulse urging him to kill.
Upon entering and seeing Fang Han sitting upright there, indeed genuinely a Golden Immortal and not a Supreme Ancestral Immortal, he immediately made a move. A supreme technique of the Nangong family: the "Chief-Slaying Sword Qi" pierced right over. He intended to sever Fang Han's head, pierce through his sea of consciousness, and make him thoroughly perish to avenge his hatred.
The Chief-Slaying Sword Qi, claiming to slay chiefs, meant it was specifically used to assassinate kings and slay leaders. A sudden strike, like the King of Assassins from the ancient times, utilizing the supreme Dao of Assassination to slay an emperor in a desperate, all-or-nothing lethal blow.
When the sword qi aims to slay the chief, no one can escape.
"A pearl as small as a grain of rice also dares to shine!" Seeing the sword qi shoot violently toward his glabella, Fang Han extended two fingers and clamped down on this streak of sword qi.
This streak of "Chief-Slaying Sword Qi" lay between his two fingers, twisting like a spirit snake. It let out a miserable shriek, wishing to tear through the air and fly out, but it simply could not break free from Fang Han's two fingers.
"The Nangong family, Chief-Slaying Sword Qi. Good, very good! Launching a lethal strike against me the moment we meet? Do you wish to kill me? You are an existence surpassing Golden Immortals, Nangong Mie. You are a Supreme Ancestral Immortal, yet you act without the slightest regard for your status. Striking out at me, if I were an ordinary Golden Immortal, wouldn't I have been killed by your single sword strike?"
After clamping down on the "Chief-Slaying Sword Qi," Fang Han analyzed it in detail and used the Astrolabe to deduce it. Instantly, some profound and arcane incantations seeped out from the sword qi.
The structure of this streak of sword qi and various methods to cultivate it were all deduced and comprehended.
In less than the time it takes to draw a breath, the complete incantations and cultivation method of the Chief-Slaying Sword Qi were comprehended and deduced by Fang Han.
How miraculous was Fang Han's current cultivation? How tyrannical was the Astrolabe? His understanding of martial arts had also reached an earth-shattering level. Having devoured the memories of the eight great law-enforcing disciples of the God Prison, Muye Jun, Jin Mieyu, Murong Shi, and others, various martial arts were melted in a single furnace. By comprehending them in detail and deducing them within his divine kingdom, nearly all the principles were held in his heart.
The deducing ability of the Astrolabe goes without saying.
The deduction of Fang Han's own divine kingdom was also extremely tyrannical. Combining the two, as long as it was not a martial art at the level of the Creation Divine Fist, virtually everything could be completely and entirely deduced.
The moment he deduced this "Chief-Slaying Sword Qi," he began to cultivate it. Within the crystal divine kingdom inside his body, a powerful sword qi was brewing. It condensed into a sword seed, and suddenly, a massive sword qi slashed out from behind his body.
"Your Chief-Slaying Sword Qi hasn't been cultivated to mastery at all; it's simply garbage. I will let you witness the true Chief-Slaying Sword Qi!"
Swish!
The streak of sword qi that slashed out from behind Fang Han's body was immeasurably huge, like an ancient sword stepping out from the void. Dripping with blood and carrying supreme ancient majesty, blood light flickered, and many human heads surfaced within the sword qi, seemingly the heads of kings explicitly slain by the sword qi.
This was also the Chief-Slaying Sword Qi.
The Supreme Sword Qi Dao that Fang Han had just condensed.
His comprehension of the Dao of the Sword consecutively fused the sword qi of the Lost Sword and also cultivated the Jade Emperor's Holy Dao's Marvelous Exalted Great Venerable Sword Qi. It was exceedingly exquisite. In a split second, he comprehended the ultimate profundity of the Chief-Slaying Sword Qi. Using the enemy's own methods to deal with them.
"Ah! The heads of kings within the sword qi, this is connecting to the true essence of the ancient Chief-Slaying!"
Seeing this streak of sword qi cleaving toward him, Nangong Mie's expression changed drastically. He rapidly waved his sleeves, causing streaks of vigorous qi to shoot out violently to resist the overwhelming pressure of this sword qi!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Retreating three steps in succession, he executed several peerless martial arts before finally managing to ward off the Chief-Slaying Sword Qi. His face paled entirely as he looked at Fang Han in disbelief.
Everyone could see that Fang Han had clamped down on the Chief-Slaying Sword Qi and then inputted true qi. He directly deduced the profundity of this martial art, learning it in an instant, reaching the highest realm, and slaying with a single sword strike.
Such miraculously divine methods had never even been heard of.
"Hmph!"
Another elder of the Nangong family, Nangong Mie, stepped forward. Taking advantage of the moment Fang Han struck out this streak of sword qi, rings of mesmerizing light shot out from his eyes, much like concentric circles.
"Revolving King Eye!"
"It's actually the Revolving King Eye!" Madam Flower God's expression shifted. Seeing these concentric circle-like eyes, she couldn't help but be taken aback. This Revolving King Eye was not innate but cultivated. Rumor has it that it is the bloodline holy eye divine technique left behind by the ancient king, the Revolving King. Once successfully cultivated, glancing at a person at random can drag them into a revolving kingdom, controlling their spirit and even directly copying the enemy's memories and various techniques.
This was a supremely abnormal profound technique.
"Courting death!"
With a wave of Fang Han's palm, countless white bone energies shot out violently, condensing into a white bone pagoda in the air that pressed down to suppress Nangong Mie.
This bone pagoda harbored an incomparably fierce and severely ominous aura. It was exactly the same as the bone pagoda inhabited by the mysterious Bone Saint. This was the exact phantom of the bone pagoda that Fang Han had simulated by absorbing the skeletons in the River of White Bones.
"The Tower of the Bone Saint!"
When Nangong Mie saw the phantom of this bone pagoda, his expression suddenly shifted dramatically. The rings of light in his eyes all retracted, and he violently retreated backward, not daring to come into contact with that bone pagoda, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Senior Bone Saint, to think you reside within this kid's body. If there's an issue, we can talk it over. Please do not be angered under any circumstances. No wonder I heard that this kid went to explore the tomb of the Ghost Martial Holy Monarch for treasures this time and returned with his power vastly increased, but I didn't realize it. So he received Senior's inheritance!"
Nangong Mie let out a long howl, all his arrogance vanishing completely.
"What? The Bone Saint! Ranked second among the Seven Saints of the Demonic Path, the Bone Saint! That's right, this bone pagoda is his aura…"
"The aura of the Bone Saint…"
"The Bone Saint is one of the Seven Saints of the Demonic Path, and he is actually still alive? Rumor has it that millions of Heavenly Realm years ago, the Cang Saint, the first among the Seven Saints of the Demonic Path, engaged in a decisive battle with a Holy Immortal of the Heavenly Court. Slain directly, this provoked the wrath of the Heavenly Monarch, who descended upon them. The Seven Saints of the Demonic Path instantly collapsed and disappeared without a trace. To think this Bone Saint survived?"
"The Corpse Saint, one of the Seven Saints of the Demonic Path, fled into the Corpse Realm and found a successor, and now that successor has become a disciple of the Heavenly Court's God Prison."
"Is he really the successor of the Bone Saint?" Several major figures of the Nangong family, as well as Mi He of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, the Profound Opportunity Scholar, and Madam Flower God, all trembled and retreated one after another, looking at Fang Han as if looking at a ghost.
"That's right. In the Chaos God Sea, within the River of White Bones, I encountered Senior Bone Saint. He was seeking a successor and found me. He imparted unrivaled divine power and the supreme Dao of Skeletons to me, and even handed the great authority of the Bone Realm into my hands." Fang Han retracted that vital energy bone pagoda and said coldly: "Nangong Hong offending me is offending the Bone Saint. The crime is unforgivable. I only made him kneel out of consideration for the Nangong family's reputation, otherwise, his body and spirit would have been thoroughly destroyed long ago."
Fang Han had met the Bone Saint and exchanged a round of blows. Upon returning, amid bitter cultivation, he comprehended in detail and also came to understand the Dao of Skeletons. Using his own vital energy to condense the Tower of the Bone Saint for suppression, it looked exceedingly like the successor of the Bone Saint.
Moreover, with his own power, he could casually tear apart Ancestral Immortals. Simulating the successor of the Bone Saint was no big deal either.
Now his own power was too tyrannical. Casually killing Ancestral Immortals, such a reputation was too grand, and with a power of unknown origin, if word spread out, it would easily attract the attention of some major figures. But now, by borrowing the title of the Bone Saint's successor, he could disguise the origin of all his power.
"Lord Bone Saint, is he within your body?"
Having received confirmation, Nangong Mie suddenly inquired.
"Lord Bone Saint has already entered nirvana, passing all his cultivation output to me." Fang Han said coldly: "I have already obtained the supreme Dao of Bones. What? Since Nangong Hong harbors ill intentions toward me, do you people want to regain his lost face?"
"So the Bone Saint is already dead?" Hearing that the Bone Saint had already entered nirvana, the major figures of the Nangong family all breathed a sigh of relief. Exchanging glances with each other, both sides felt the fierce light flickering in the other's eyes. Thoughts of greed.
"Hmph! Feng Yuan! The Yuhua Sect is a righteous, orthodox sect recognized by the Heavenly Court, yet that Bone Saint is an atrociously wicked great demon head, deemed an evil and unorthodox path by the Heavenly Court. You obtained his inheritance? And dare to be so brutally unreasonable?"
A Supreme Elder of the Nangong family stepped forward and said to Fang Han, "It seems this matter must be reported to the Heavenly Court, letting the Heavenly Court make the final decision."
"A demon head like the Bone Saint was subjected to a crusade by the Heavenly Court millions of Heavenly Realm years ago. Beaten until his oil was exhausted and lamps dried up, bitterly struggling on until now, and finally, his cup of iniquity overflowed. Suffering heavenly punishment. By obtaining his inheritance, you are already following an evil, unorthodox path."
Nangong Sha took a step up.
Hearing of the Bone Saint's death, these Supreme Elders of the Nangong family were no longer afraid, and the greedy emotions in their hearts surged increasingly higher. Before dying, the Bone Saint passed all his cultivation output to Fang Han. And Fang Han was merely a Golden Immortal, certainly unable to exhibit all of that power. Although fierce, he was not impossible to suppress.
Now, the several Supreme Elders of the Nangong family were plotting how to suppress Fang Han and seize the Bone Saint's cultivation output from him!
No matter how formidable a Golden Immortal is, restricted by their realm, their power has limits. Even if one obtains a Heavenly Monarch's inheritance, it goes no further than that. There was absolutely a chance to suppress him. Of course, if the Bone Saint were still alive inside Fang Han's body, that would be a different story.
"Nangong Mie, do we have a chance to strike together and suppress this kid!" Nangong Sha transmitted his spiritual sense to Nangong Mie: "With the Bone Saint dead, although this kid is powerful, he only has power in vain but no way to use it. We have a chance. As long as we suppress this kid and seize the power residing within his body, we might not be unable to progress further by a hundred-foot pole."
"That isn't exactly impossible; this matter exhibits great prospects."
"Indeed, Nangong Mie, Nangong Sha, I, Nangong Xian, am also firmly duty-bound."
"I, Nangong Yuan, will also exterminate and kill this kid! I simply don't believe he can exhibit all of the Bone Saint's power? Moreover, with the Bone Saint clinging onto his last breath for over a million Heavenly Realm years, how much of his remaining power could still be left? We will suddenly strike out together and suppress this kid!"
There was a total of four Nangong family experts present.
All of them were Supreme Ancestral Immortals, and at this moment, they were growing restless, wishing to suppress Fang Han.
