Tu Gang actually began to break through the bottleneck and advance to the Ancestral Immortal realm at this time.
Ordinary people, when trying to raise their realm, would do everything possible to find a hidden location so as not to be discovered, avoiding qi deviation. Tu Gang, instead, directly leveled up during the battle, attempting to strangle his opponent in combat with the majestic vital energy and the power of metamorphosis.
This was a method used by those with great destiny and great dominance.
Without ample preparation, immense destiny, and precise grasp of the future, one would absolutely not dare to do this.
There were often some peerless old demons who, when facing younger generation experts in combat and seeing that the younger generation expert was about to be suppressed, suddenly triggered their divine powers, broke through their realm, turned defeat into victory, and instead suppressed, killed, and refined the old demon. This was something that frequently happened.
Therefore, some peerless old demons would not dare to make a move against youths possessing great destiny, for fear that they would grow stronger the more they fought and break through in the midst of battle.
Tu Gang was exactly this type of person. Facing Wu Chang, he did not hesitate to break his seal, erupt his power, comprehend the Ancestral Immortal laws, descend vast divine might, echo with the Eight部 Pagoda, unify man and treasure, elevate his power, and achieve heavenly-human sensing.
"Wu Chang, you probably never dreamed that I still had this move. In truth, the reason I collected Ancestral Immortal laws from various aspects, refined the Eight部 Pagoda, and cultivated it into a high-grade immortal artifact, was all to wait for this moment. Man and treasure sharing the same origin, transforming into an Ancestral Immortal. I knew that if I advanced to the Ancestral Immortal realm, you would definitely flee at the sight of me. Thus, I deliberately used my Golden Immortal cultivation to lure you. Waiting for you to come and kill me, I suddenly advance to Ancestral Immortal, and counter-kill!"
On Tu Gang's body, incomparably thick Golden Immortal laws flew out like massive dragons, crackling loudly, and transformed into Ancestral Immortal laws.
The Ancestral Immortal laws each seemed humanoid, appearing as individual Ancestral Gods. Every single law was an ancestral spirit of the gods, communicating with the origin.
That high-grade immortal artifact, the Eight部 Pagoda, let out tens of thousands of dragon cries rising and falling in succession, as if a throng of dragons were chanting scriptures.
"Primogenitor Dragon Emperor Scripture!"
The scriptures chanted by those throngs of dragons formed articles that hung down like a heavenly canopy, completely covering Tu Gang's entire body from top to bottom, as well as the sky and firmament.
On his head, branching horns grew out, possessing exactly eighty-one branches. The aura of the nine-nine supreme sovereign transmitted from his body.
With a grab of his large hand, all the arrow rain was completely obliterated. Taking one step out, he surprisingly closed the distance to the Wu Chang incarnated by Fang Han infinitely. Dragon eyes opened, and stellar rivers revolved.
"Ancestral Immortal! Ancestral Dragon! Ancestor of Myriad Ancestors!"
A muffled voice issued from his throat. A single loud roar could directly shake a person to death. All the Golden Immortal laws completely transformed into Ancestral Immortal laws. At the same time, raging flames and primeval qi burned fiercely on his body, along with line after line of spirit veins intensely combusting. Fang Han saw these spirit veins twisting and turning into formlessness.
No wonder this person did not dare to spend a hefty price to compete with Fang Han; it turned out that all his primeval qi had been hoarded to be used for breaking through the bottleneck.
A Golden Immortal breaking through to Ancestral Immortal required infinite primeval qi—there could only be an excess, not a shortage. Otherwise, if there was a lack of vital energy during the breakthrough process, disaster would strike.
Tu Gang naturally was not as wealthy and imposing as Fang Han, who carried a King-grade spirit vein on his body, so he did not dare to use too much.
During his eruption, Dao Xu Holy Son and Chen Yimei both directly flew into the river to pursue and kill those fallen Heavenly Court Divine Prison law enforcement disciples.
These disciples, having been struck by Fang Han's arrow, were severely injured but would not die, and were fleeing desperately.
However, Fang Han did not care about this. He knew that Dao Xu Holy Son and Chen Yimei were perfectly capable of catching up to these Divine Prison disciples.
Rumble!
The heavens collapsed and the earth split.
Carrying the power of the high-grade immortal artifact Eight部 Pagoda, Tu Gang bombarded over.
Standing above the great river, Fang Han quietly watched Tu Gang's bombardment, unmoving. Waiting until the power arrived before him, he raised his arm and met it with a punch.
This punch was the Epoch Divine Fist.
His power erupted with the Epoch Divine Fist, and all around his body, countless rotating pictures suddenly flew up, deducing scrolls of the history of epochal civilizations.
His power, after refining the fragment of the artifact of good fortune inside the dragon-whale inner core, had increased once again. The crystal divine kingdoms within his body were indestructible; they were eternal kingdoms, kingdoms of immortality. With one punch, it could be seen that his fist was firmly combined from countless crystal divine kingdoms. Tens of hundreds of millions of grand formations resounded with cracking noises. Within every single divine kingdom, billions of crystals rubbed and vibrated against each other.
The two fists collided.
"Pop!"
With the two of them as the center, rings of concentric circles radiated outward. That was a massive energy fluctuation; wherever it reached, everything was turned to dust.
In the ripples, the Eight部 Pagoda above Tu Gang's head suddenly cracked! The myriad dragons inside let out agonizing groans, and his body also began to shatter like porcelain, fresh blood flowing from the traces of the cracks.
In a single strike, it was broken by Fang Han!
"What is going on! Wu Chang, your power! What Daoist magic is this!"
Tu Gang trembled all over, retreating continuously, attempting to enter into the infinite spatial fissures to start escaping. His speed was extremely fast; with a slight flicker, layers of spatial fog enveloped him, and the spatial fissures and fog made his aura vanish completely.
Expressionless, Fang Han grabbed at the empty air with his large hand. The dark, pressing giant palm destroyed all the spatial fog, penetrating into the deepest depths of space. Those spaces shattered and compressed layer by layer. What was originally a massive faulted space was immediately reduced to dust by the powerful magic force.
With a single movement, Tu Gang was yanked out from within it.
"Which devil, daring to make a move before our Void Family's mountain gate? Quickly kneel and submit, and we will spare your life!"
Right at this moment, several massive explosive sounds transmitted over from the sky. On the opposite bank of that long river, power spanned across. A full nine long rainbows rode the wind and broke the waves, sweeping over.
Within those long rainbows, a massive palm manifested in each, five fingers spread wide. Each finger was like a pillar supporting the heavens, suppressing myriad ages as it crashed down.
Unexpectedly, the battle between Fang Han and Tu Gang had alarmed the absolute peak experts of the Void Family. Each of those long rainbows carried the aura of a supreme Ancestral Immortal, not a Golden Immortal. The Ancestral Immortal experts within the Void Family sensed the violent vital energy fluctuations and struck to kill from the air. Otherwise, Golden Immortals could not possibly possess such magic force.
"Various experts of the Void Family, this is the Heavenly Court's number one wanted criminal, Wu Chang! Daring as the heavens, he is intercepting our Heavenly Court Divine Prison law enforcement disciples! Quickly act to capture him, your merit will not be small."
Seeing saviors arrive, Tu Gang suddenly executed a profoundly invincible divine power. His entire body's lifespan vigorously combusted, great power bursting forth as he immediately attempted to forcefully break free from Fang Han's grasping restraints!
At the same time, behind him, the flames of his combusting lifespan condensed into a massive sovereign figure.
"Fate Sovereign Invincible Great Thousand Divine Fist!"
The most tyrannical martial art among the Martial Scriptures of All Sovereigns was executed. In the Martial Scriptures of All Sovereigns, the martial arts of sovereigns like the Void Sovereign, Qi Sovereign, Xi Sovereign… all contained the utmost principles of heaven and earth. However, among all the sovereigns, the Fate Sovereign was practically second to none because the Fate Sovereign comprehended the Dao of Fate, using lifespan as the trigger and fate as the art; when it erupted, it stood out amongst the sovereigns.
Fate! It was a wondrous existence.
Destiny! It was the Great Dao of heaven and earth.
The combination of fate and destiny penetrated the epochs of heaven and earth.
Although the Fate Sovereign only researched "fate principles," he had essentially obtained half of the Great Dao.
Unexpectedly, the Martial Scriptures of All Sovereigns that Tu Gang had learned actually included the "Fate Sovereign's ultimate art." Throwing out one punch, the principles of fate were contained within, compressing true qi to counterattack Fang Han.
"Evil demon! Put down the Heavenly Court Divine Prison law enforcement disciple!"
"Die quickly!"
"It actually is the evil demon Wu Chang, coming to our Void Family to cause trouble. Did you think our Void Family has no one?"
"Our Void Family will capture you all and hand you over to the Heavenly Court, establishing an unparalleled wondrous merit!"
"Join forces to suppress him, lock down the void. Do not allow the evil demon to escape!"
"Kill!"
The giant palms within those long rainbows heard Tu Gang's roar. Tyrannical divine senses swept down, chilling murderous intent filling the air. Natural grand formations shrouded downward, dragging the sky lower.
"Every single one a piece of trash!" Fang Han's gaze swept over, standing firm and unmoving, towering like a divine mountain, unmoving since antiquity. Swish! Behind him, nine large hands of vital energy similarly appeared; they were actually solid physical entities, colliding head-on against the long rainbows and giant palms descending from the sky.
"Ah!"
One of the long rainbow large hands that descended first was shattered with a single shock. Rain of blood sprayed out, and the long rainbow broke. Tu Gang watched, his heart leaping and his flesh jumping.
Subsequently, continuous sounds exploded as the eight long rainbow large hands were all broken.
In a single strike, Fang Han broke the attacks of the nine great Ancestral Immortals!
"Sinful creature!"
From a faraway place, voices transmitted over. It seemed the nine great Ancestral Immortals were truly setting out to rush over.
Fang Han's body finally moved, taking a step forward! All the river water on the surface of the river evaporated, and clusters of spatial fragments exploded everywhere. His footsteps paced the Big Dipper, and countless stars appeared in the sky, revolving along with his body. The majestic and powerful magic force nearly shook Tu Gang so hard he almost shattered again, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood with a "wa." That Fate Sovereign Divine Fist dispersed completely halfway through.
Subsequently, in his eyes, he looked on in horror as traces of cracks permeated outward from Fang Han's fingertips, striking across space. Nine spatio-temporal gates appeared around his body like mirrors.
His power, like overturning mountains and emptying seas, bombarded into the spatio-temporal gates.
Subsequently, from behind those nine spatio-temporal gates, nine screams of agony transmitted over. All of them had actually been injured by Fang Han across space!
"This! The nine supreme Ancestral Immortals of the Void Family, injured by him across space!" Upon seeing this, Tu Gang was so frightened he almost passed out. Fang Han sneered repeatedly and captured him in one grab, like a gray falcon catching a rabbit, directly pinching him. With a flick of his large sleeve, he vanished from sight.
Over the entire Liangxu River, tranquility was restored, and even Dao Xu Holy Son and Chen Yimei had departed silently without a trace.
Not long after Fang Han left, countless powerful auras crossed through space and time. Several experts of the Void Family appeared, looking at each other in dismay. Among them, nine figures of extremely high status had pale faces, as if they had just recovered.
"Wu Chang? Was that Wu Chang? How can he be so strong, evolving spatio-temporal gates across space, bombarding us until our vital energy is severely damaged? That power is simply insurmountable!"
"This matter is grave! It involves the Protoss! Wu Chang has already sought refuge with the Protoss; our Void Family must strictly take precautions!"
"First pass the news to the Heavenly Court."
