"I wonder if you have deduced anything?" The Little Rain Empress Xia Zhiqiu, while collecting the "Crimson Blood Dominator Saber" transformed from the Chikui Divine Beasts, also saw Fang Han deducing, and could not help but smile slightly, inquiring.
"This Coffin of Life and Death is probably extremely dangerous. While I was deducing just now, I actually sensed what seemed to be Saint Immortal level evil demonic auras. It might be terrifying existences sealed within." Fang Han did not conceal it, but spoke the truth.
"What?" The Little Rain Empress Xia Zhiqiu blanked for a moment, yet did not display obvious astonishment. Tilting her head up, her slender and pale neck resembling a swan, "It seems your person is sincerely allying and cooperating with me. To actually tell me that you deduced such hidden matters. Correct, I have long since received the information transmitted by the Sovereign Emperor Saint Immortals within the sect, saying that the Heavenly Court opened many sealed mysterious alternate spatial dimensions this time. It was an era in the distant ancient times where some giants of the evil paths were sealed inside. If one happens to be lucky enough to fully refine one of them, it would be a heaven-encompassing fortuitous encounter, ascending to heaven in a single step, breaking through bottlenecks, and marching toward the supreme Heavenly Dao."
"Good, by speaking the truth this time, I quietly opened this woman's mind somewhat." Fang Han smiled slightly in his heart, but his tone transitioned to plainness: "Matters of this nature are not so easy. Being cautious is the policy of absolute safety. We have now reached the Ancestor Immortal realm, and advancing to Origin Immortal is a checkpoint, while advancing from Origin Immortal to Saint Immortal is an even more heaven-encompassing juncture. Achieving sainthood in a single step, at that moment, rumor has it one will encounter the Saint Tribulation. Before one's state of mind is tempered to perfect completion, one absolutely must not risk advancing rashly out of greed for success. Perhaps you truly find a sealed Saint and refine them, causing yourself to instantly advance to the Origin Immortal realm, and then reach the peak of Origin Immortal to assault the Dao of the Saint, but the subsequent Saint Tribulation will ultimately turn you into dust."
"These words are honest. However, the Dao of the Saint, achieving sainthood in a single step, cultivating into a Saint Immortal is indeed an unprecedentedly difficult hurdle. Relying on our abilities, cultivating into an Origin Immortal, to tell the truth, we have a ninety percent probability. But taking a step further, no one has any assurance. Especially for Sovereign Emperor reincarnations like myself, although cultivating extremely fast, we also interfere with the operation of heaven and earth's fortune. With every elevation in realm, the calamity becomes correspondingly more massive." The Little Rain Empress Xia Zhiqiu sighed: "If one can obtain the true core Saint Kingdom of a Saint, it can be refined into the body. Not only greatly increasing power, but when the calamity descends, it can also substitute for oneself, letting it be destroyed by the Saint Tribulation in exchange for one's own opportunity at rebirth. This way, the assurance grows vastly greater."
"There is even such a technique of substituting a plum tree for a peach tree? It is indeed wondrous." Fang Han nodded. Recalling the many ancient texts he had read, he found that there were indeed many descriptions regarding Saints undergoing the Saint Tribulation recorded within.
Indeed, only the Saint Kingdom of a Saint could resist the Saint Tribulation.
When the Saint Tribulation arrived, the earth collapsed and the sun and moon underwent annihilation. Many peak Origin Immortal existences vanished entirely in gray ashes and flying smoke while undergoing the Saint Tribulation.
"Speaking of these things makes them far away. But you are right, being cautious is the kingly way. Let us hide ourselves and rapidly enter the depths of this Coffin of Life and Death. Not to mention the sealed Saint Immortal level evil demons, the numerous spirit veins inside must also be collected, and the King-tier spirit veins are also wealth that must be snatched. Only with sufficient spirit veins can we unleash our strongest combat power and kill the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei under the watchful eyes of everyone."
The Little Rain Empress Xia Zhiqiu flew into the deeper parts.
Within this rotten land, the alternate spatial dimension of the Coffin of Life and Death, the depths were shrouded in heavy mist. Fierce energy turned into countless clouds and mists. One could not see the fingers on an outstretched hand, and even with the eyesight of an Ancestor Immortal, one could not clearly see the land a thousand miles ahead.
However, Fang Han's Heaven Cave Divine Eyes could see that in the distant air, upon the rotten land, were long rivers. Some appeared brown, some deep green, some glistening blue like potent poison, multicolored. These were all rare fierce energies from the Archaic era, which could no longer be found in the Heavenly Realm today.
Of course, the fierce energies of the Archaic era contained potent poison, eroded people's minds, and melted Ancestor Immortals. Unless one had comprehended the Dao of Returning to the Origin, capable of condensing all immortal dao laws of the whole body into a single origin point, one could not resist the erosion.
Within the alternate spatial dimension of this Coffin of Life and Death, those fierce energies condensed into rivers and had already combined with thousands upon tens of thousands of spirit veins, forming dead veins. Humans could not absorb them, but some powerful demonic beasts and fierce beasts could directly absorb them into their bodies to strengthen themselves.
Even if these spirit veins were collected, it would require expending great power to purify them.
However, Fang Han and the Little Rain Empress Xia Zhiqiu did not have any worries in this regard. Both were adept at purifying spirit veins. As the two continuously roamed, venturing deep into the Coffin of Life and Death's alternate spatial dimension, many long rivers of archaic fierce energy along the way were collected by the two of them. Many powerful demonic beasts were also slain by the two, or transformed into various weapons and pocketed.
After only half an hour passed, the two had fought their way into the depths. A full over ten long rivers of fierce energy were collected, causing each person to obtain an amount of Primordial Energy nearly equivalent to over three hundred thousand first-tier spirit veins.
As for those archaic fierce energies, Fang Han sent them all into the Epoch Book, enriching the many civilization histories. The Epoch Book gradually began to undergo a slow metamorphosis.
"This is truly a land of treasures! If we could stay inside here continuously without going out, just slaughtering and tempering ourselves like this, we could advance very quickly." Fang Han said. He keenly felt that amidst the slaughter, having absorbed so many rare fierce energies from the Archaic era, he was actually beginning to have a tendency toward advancement. The many crystal divine kingdoms and Ancestor Immortal laws within his body seemed on the verge of condensing into a single origin point.
This was the omen of advancing to "Origin Immortal".
However, he could not assault Origin Immortal right now. Without any other reason, his spirit veins were insufficient.
The amount of original energy on his person right now was merely equivalent to two King-tier spirit veins. If he advanced directly, he would definitely suffer from a deficiency of original energy. When the time came, he would fall from the peak, suffer qi deviation, and die an unnatural death.
When assaulting checkpoints, what one dreaded most was the deficiency of original energy.
Wa!
Just as the two were speaking, suddenly, within the rolling fierce energy, another group of powerful demons appeared. This group of demons was extremely strange. They grew into shapes resembling female figures individually, but their heads completely lacked facial features, being a flat board, extremely terrifying. Occasionally, upon that flat-board face, many malevolent visages would appear.
However, each of the female figure demons possessed formidable auras. Flying furiously like lightning flashes, they directly tore the space, descended, and with a wave of their hands, streams of true energy shaped like Ruyi scepters bombarded over.
"Careful, these are Ruyi Heaven Demons!" Even the Little Rain Empress Xia Zhiqiu's face changed: "To think there are actually such demons here, how is it possible, these are Ruyi Heaven Demons!"
"Ruyi Heaven Demons!" Fang Han was also startled, recalling the records in some ancient texts. Ruyi Heaven Demons were rumored to be one of the most formidable demonic beasts created by the ancient Heavenly Court. However, due to certain events, the Heavenly Court underwent turmoil, and they rebelled against the Heavenly Court, just like how the ancient Heaven Demons rebelled against the God Race.
Every single Ruyi Heaven Demon was a peerless demon concentrating charm, ferocity, brutality, domination, power, wisdom, and other abilities onto one body.
In the Heavenly Realm, if an occasional Ruyi Heaven Demon appeared, it would throw the major provinces into chaos and leave the major sects with completely no peace, causing blood to flow in rivers. Now, to think so many had appeared here.
Aow!
A Ruyi Heaven Demon lunged forward. Its hands actually transformed fingernails resembling sword gleams, detonating brilliant light like scorching suns, actually executing the Combat Power of the Sovereign Xi from the Martial Scripture of the Sovereigns. Ten times the combat power was unleashed.
Fang Han was greatly startled. These Ruyi Heaven Demons could all unleash ten times the combat power, isn't that outrageous?
Without hesitation, he punched out. This Ruyi Heaven Demon was directly beaten into exploding, turning into a rain of blood that showered downward.
Aow aow! The slaying of one Ruyi Heaven Demon incited the vicious emotions of more Ruyi Heaven Demons. They flew up at once, forming a grand formation, linking together into a unified patch, and transforming into a massive Ruyi scepter.
This pack of "Ruyi Heaven Demons" were demonic beasts that had already gone extinct long ago in the Archaic era, and were existences that had betrayed the Heavenly Court. Each one was formidable, and furthermore knew the martial arts of the Sovereigns. This was because they were born for slaughter, conquest, and punitive expeditions when the Heavenly Court forged them, imitating the God Race's creation of the Heaven Demons.
The capabilities of every single Ruyi Heaven Demon could simply pierce the heavens and penetrate the earth. The vast majority of them actually possessed the strength of beginner Ancestor Immortals. Uniting together, they actually formed an ancient Ruyi scepter.
This Ruyi scepter hovered in the air. Smashing down once, it could almost rival Zhao Fenghua's Heavenly Monarch's Horn. On the spot, it shook some among the Yuhua Sect's Holy Sons into almost vomiting blood.
Even as the Little Rain Empress Xia Zhiqiu attacked repeatedly, she was unable to subdue this pack of "Ruyi Heaven Demons" because their speed was exceedingly fast. The Ruyi scepter they formed almost entirely comprehended the profound mysteries of space. Being able to actually possess foresight, it harbored quite the conceptual state of the cicada knowing before the autumn wind stirs.
Furthermore, among this pack of Ruyi Heaven Demons, there were clearly exceedingly brilliant figures. Often, when Xia Zhiqiu and Fang Han were about to strike ruthlessly, they would suddenly retreat. And when the two relaxed slightly, they would instantly shuttle over to attack.
Not only that, this pack of Ruyi Heaven Demons could also summon some other demonic beasts within the fierce energy, such as the Chikui Divine Beasts they encountered just before, as well as Transformation Snake fierce beasts, and even Hell Bats, Ancient Magic Heart Apes appeared… A totally chaotic army of demonic beasts assaulted like a tidal wave, wave after wave, without end.
Looking entirely outwards, the sky was completely filled with an army of demonic beasts blotting out the sky and covering the earth.
Within this alternate spatial dimension of the Coffin of Life and Death, very clearly, the "Ruyi Heaven Demons" were the commanders of many demonic beasts, overriding numerous demonic beasts.
"Dammit, the inside of this place is simply a paradise for demonic beasts. Even if an Origin Immortal came here, they would be trapped to death alive." Since encountering that pack of Ruyi Heaven Demons, Fang Han had fallen completely into a passive state, discovering that no matter how he killed those demonic beasts, they came continuously. Furthermore, the essence of the vast majority of the demonic beasts he killed could not be inhaled into his body, but instead flowed outward, entirely sucked away by the Ruyi Heaven Demons.
That pack of Ruyi Heaven Demons seemed to innately possess the ability to dominate demonic beasts. Truly worthy of being killing machines created by the ancient Heavenly Court.
"If this goes on, it is indeed not a solution. I must bring out formidable methods." Fang Han secretly thought in his heart.
