The surrounding space was petrified everywhere, forming a country of stone, making it difficult to move a single step.
Moreover, not only did the stone energy spread out from the space, many spaces also began to petrify, crystallize, and evolve into various unknown countries.
This was a grand array laid out by the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei cultivating in the depths of space. As long as holy children entered inside, they would be petrified. Even with divine abilities that could resist petrification, it would be difficult to shuttle through the stone space, and they would be blocked outside.
Furthermore, inside this stone space was a maze of layers upon layers, harboring hidden profound mysteries. Unknowingly, one would be bewildered by the magic within, causing a loss of sanity and mental chaos.
Even if Fang Han, the Little Axe Emperor, the Little Rain Emperor, and the others entered this stone space at once, there was a flavor of being unable to extricate themselves, making it difficult to go deep.
Fundamentally impossible to find a direction, where to search for the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei?
This was not Song Tengfei's inherent power, but the ancient King-grade immortal artifact. The Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei was refining the power of the God Sealing Monument. If he succeeded at once, the might would be even greater than this, capable of converting instantly, petrifying this entire sector of space of the coffin of life and death, turning it into his world, his country. Within the Stone Country, no one could contend against Song Tengfei.
"Indeed, he is evolving the country of stone. We must deduce his true core location to be able to thoroughly kill him; otherwise, searching for this person within these layers of stone space is looking for a needle in a haystack, falling right into his sinister scheme. However, his magical power is growing ever deeper and thicker, and the power of an Emperor Profound Immortal is gradually awakening. He can completely interfere with heavenly secrets, preventing anyone from deducing anything about him."
The Little Rain Emperor felt somewhat troubled. She also unfolded deductions, yet she was unable to deduce exactly where the Little Stone Emperor was.
"Let me do it!"
Fang Han took a slight step, standing in front of the Little Rain Emperor, causing this woman's heart to tremble. Subsequently, he embraced the air with both hands, and a sphere appeared in front of him. Within the sphere, countless lights and shadows flickered, revealing many images. Patches of stone countries extended outward, simply hundreds of billions of minuscule spaces. In that space, a human shadow manifested vaguely. Behind this human shadow was a massive ancient monument, the stone energy emitting from the ancient monument petrifying everything.
This was exactly the true physical form of Song Tengfei.
It was deduced by Fang Han.
"Break for me!"
Fang Han utilized his peerless dao force, deducing the position. He could not help but clasp his hands together, turning his palms to strike toward the north. A surge of power rose piercing through the air, like a long dragon, chiseling through the void, beginning to soar and change, punching through the layers of stone space.
Rumble!
Just as Fang Han penetrated through hundreds of billions of stone spaces at once, deep within that space, suddenly it seemed as if a restriction technique was triggered, and a stone shield appeared.
This stone shield was immeasurably large, engraved with patterns atop it. Unexpectedly, in a single move, it withstood Fang Han's power. That surge of dragon-shaped true energy blasted upon it, actually collapsing inch by inch, vanishing without a trace.
"Uncanny workmanship, opening heaven and earth, the civilization of gods! All gods created the world, all gods govern everything, whatever all gods say is to be chiseled open shall have no obstruction."
Fang Han seemed to have long known such a situation. Waving his hand, the civilizational history of the God Race flew out, enveloping the Uncanny Workmanship Great Immortal Spell, transforming into a massive divine axe, cleaving over through the air. This axe was precisely the good fortune divine artifact, the Nameless Giant Axe, used by the Progenitor Holy King of the God Race to open up the God Race civilization.
And Fang Han now had condensed the civilizational history of the God Race. Combined with the Uncanny Workmanship Great Immortal Spell, it immediately displayed an inconceivable might of opening. The divine axe cleaved through the air, splash splash! Waves of air tumbled sequentially, and the musical notes of all gods creating the world manifested within it. Carrying the authoritative might of creating the world, it struck upon the massive stone shield.
With a loud bang, the stone shield turned into fragments. Behind Fang Han's back, a pair of Wings of Freedom immediately appeared. Under his footsteps, the patterns of the Walker Without Boundaries and the Saint Chasing the Sun manifested. In an instant, ignoring distance, he arrived at the place where the stone shield shattered. His body flashed, entering a black hole.
"The might of this axe! Formidable! I have immersed myself in the dao of the axe all my life, and am the reincarnation of the Axe Emperor, yet I fear I could not display the might of such a strike. Rumor has it that among all the giant axes between heaven and earth, the only one that surpassed mine back then was the good fortune divine artifact giant axe of the Progenitor Holy King of the God Race; with a single cleave, it opened up civilization. No, for the sake of my dao of the axe, to awaken the true Axe Emperor primordial spirit within my body, I must ask for Fang Han's guidance on the supreme dao of the axe in the future."
The Little Axe Emperor was also instantly shocked by the might of this axe from Fang Han, unexpectedly cleaving the stone shield to pieces directly.
He also saw that the stone shield was transformed from the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei's inherent power, extremely formidable, capable of resisting all attacks. For him to cleave it broken, he would have to burn the lifespan inside his body, plus his essence energy, using three consecutive moves to execute the thirty-six styles of void breaking to shatter it in one fell swoop. Yet Fang Han acted effortlessly, breaking it directly. Such methods were already beyond his reach.
"Feng Yuan has truly found the location of the Little Stone Emperor's true body. Let us go, let us enter with haste. Sun Shihua, all the holy children of your three major sects, form an array and thoroughly unite together. The power of your union is equivalent to a beginner-stage Fundamental Immortal, or even more formidable, capable of assisting us in the battle with the Little Stone Emperor." The Little Rain Emperor also lunged in following Fang Han.
Sun Shihua and the others had long been prepared. The holy children of the three major sects exchanged glances with each other, spewing out their own magic treasures. Origin energy and true energy connected together, intercommunicating with each other, roaring loudly: "Sharing the same boat through the storm!"
Rumble!
A three-headed giant slowly condensed into shape in the air. This three-headed giant resembled a heavenly god, possessing six arms; it was exactly the Guardian Heavenly King commonly seen in the heavenly court.
In the heavenly court, there were many array formations. The composed origin energy giant spirit gods, possessing highly formidable magical power comparable to Fundamental Immortals, or even Saints, were called Heavenly Kings. This divine ability was called the Heavenly King Gathering the Saint Method. It spread widely, and now the holy children of the three major sects could all learn this dao technique, and its might was immense. The people of the three major sects intercommunicating formed a "Heavenly King" capable of rivaling a beginner-stage Fundamental Immortal.
The Heavenly King Gathering the Saint Method, with three heads and six arms, condensed into shape all at once. This "Heavenly King" surged with billowing arrogance, its stature massive, wearing a blood-colored cape over its body. Its six arms respectively held an origin energy-condensed ruyi hook, demon subjugation sword, vajra pestle, pagoda, rope, and sharp blade.
Of the three heads, one was kind, one was ferocious, and the one in the middle was expressionless.
After condensing into shape, its speed was exceedingly fast. During flashes, it was actually equally matched with the Little Rain Emperor and the Little Axe Emperor.
The Yuhua Sect, the Yanshen Marquis Sect, and the Channeling Dao Sect, the three major sects, having a full dozens of holy children transforming into this "Heavenly King" god, the power was absolutely not ordinary. It could play a vitally important role in the struggle against the Little Stone Emperor. They were no longer individual burdens.
Fang Han smashed the stone shield, instantly entering a black hole. Truly locking down the void, he saw the existence of the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei.
His pupils suddenly contracted fiercely, and he saw a scene. Inside a stone hall, the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei stood towering. Just in front, the massive stone monument shrank, slowly entering his body.
And within this stone hall, nine rivers flowed on the ground, seemingly dividing the Nine Provinces.
These rivers were actually each a King-tier spirit vein, suppressed by the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei on the ground of the stone hall with supreme magical power. He seemed to be carving a certain pattern. That pattern was actually the diagram of the hundred thousand great domains divided by the heavenly court. These hundred thousand great domains were lifelike; whatever Central Domain, Divine Domain, Heaven Domain, Spring Domain, Void Domain… one by one, it was exactly like truly miniaturizing the hundred thousand great domains divided by the heavenly court.
Song Tengfei looked at the picture on the ground, falling into deep thought, not sensing at all that Fang Han swept flying inside, entering the stone hall.
Clatter.
Fang Han's feet touched the solid ground, landing in the center of the stone hall. He felt that beneath this stone hall, a massive demonic energy seemed to be nurtured, bounded by Song Tengfei suppressing something.
"To think that within the Yuhua Sect, such a figure actually emerged, Feng Yuan? I originally thought that Zhu Chongyang, Hua Zhentian, and Wan Xi'an, these three, were the giants of the Yuhua Sect. If it were the talent and sentiment of these three, then I would have nothing to worry about. But for a figure like you, Feng Yuan, to unexpectedly emerge from nowhere, I must take it seriously."
The Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei still did not lift his head, methodically watching the nine King-tier spirit veins finely outlining the picture on the ground of the main hall. His tone was slow, heavy, carrying a stone-like mixed reverberation.
Swish swish swish!
Three more human figures appeared inside the stone hall.
It was the Little Rain Emperor Xia Zhiqiu, the Little Axe Emperor Xuanyuan Po, and the Heavenly King Holy Spirit transformed from the many holy children.
"Good, very good. Little Rain Emperor, after being defeated by me, to think you still do not give up, returning to throw your life away, truly muddleheaded. But now since you seek death yourself, then you cannot blame me. Also, Little Axe Emperor, Xuanyuan Po, your Xuanyuan Family and my Taiyi Sect have no grievances; why do you choose to come throw your life away? Is it letting gains muddle your wisdom? Or bewitched by Feng Yuan? Like this, you admit your mistake, and I will let you step out of this stone hall, no longer throwing your life away. As for the others, these holy children of the Yuhua Sect, the Yanshen Marquis Sect, and the Channeling Dao Sect, do not even think of going out. I want to condense the God Sealing Monument, restoring its original glory; the might of a King-grade immortal artifact precisely needs your souls and essence blood to sacrifice." The Little Stone Emperor still did not lift his head.
"Hmph! Admit a mistake, withdraw out?" Xuanyuan Po snorted coldly: "What kind of person do you take me, the Little Axe Emperor, to be? You are the Little Stone Emperor, and I am the Little Axe Emperor; we sit as equals. You are the reincarnation of a King-grade immortal artifact, and I am the reincarnation of an Emperor Profound Immortal. I have always heard you boast that you are the number one expert among the many holy children, but your granddaddy remains unconvinced. Today, I come to compete with you, to let you know what it means to use an axe to break a stone."
"When Heaven causes calamities, one may find a way out; when one brings calamities upon oneself, one simply cannot live." The Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei sighed a breath: "Xuanyuan Po, since you are this stubborn, then you cannot blame me. Today, every single one of you, will not be able to step out of this stone hall."
"Stop talking nonsense. Where are some of the holy children of your Taiyi Sect? Call them all out. You, the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei, join forces with them. I will obliterate you all."
Fang Han said.
