The phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor appearing inside the heavenly tribulation was simply an unimaginable matter. According to general reasoning, even when an "Origin Immortal" promoted to a "Saint Immortal," it was impossible for the phantom of this Heavenly Lord to emerge.
But now, it appeared in Fang Han's heavenly tribulation, clearly leaving him absolutely no way out.
"This is the heavens not tolerating me, but this phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor is not his actual intent, but his supreme Heavenly Lord form naturally condensed within the heavenly tribulation thunder. I still have a thread of survival!"
In the instant this phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor appeared, Fang Han's mental calculations also reached a limit. He immediately made a prompt decision, seeking life in the midst of death, condensing his entire body's magic force, and launching an assault towards the phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor.
One Dao diagram after another, one civilization history after another, all manifested.
Even the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram transformed into a stretch of a world and swept over.
After the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram accommodated the Stone Painting, it already possessed a core. Couple that with Fang Han having crushed numerous lightning divine diagrams within the heavenly tribulation—such as the "Universe Diagram," "Mountains and Rivers Diagram," "Altar of Soil and Grain Diagram," "Yin Yang Diagram," and "Myriad Emperors Diagram"—these lightning divine diagrams were burned and refined by Primal Qi and also thrown into the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram, increasing the might of this Sacred Diagram.
This Sacred Diagram was now practically equivalent to the quality of a King-Grade Immortal Artifact. It was almost not inferior to the God Sealing Stone Monument, merely lacking a core and unable to exert its full power.
Now, Fang Han substituted for the Sacred Diagram as a core, though he could only drive thirty percent of its power.
Fortunately, this thirty percent of power, combined with his own Great Dao techniques, was enough to contend with the phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor.
An extremely tragic and fierce close-quarters combat emerged out of nowhere.
The crowd merely saw Fang Han charge forward, resembling a black dragon intertwining, resisting the divine might of the thunder god, and fighting the ancient god Heavenly Lord.
In front of Fang Han, the Sacred Diagram shook and transformed, unexpectedly taking the pitch-black form of Sacred Lord Ghost Martial. Opening ghost hands to suppress the lightning, it was as towering as the phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor. Against this phantom, it struck out the absolute arts of the God Race, the Dao of Ghost Martial.
Sacred Lord Ghost Martial seemed on the verge of reviving from nothingness, letting out a deep low voice from its throat. A generation's Sacred Lord, a half-step Heavenly Lord's cultivation base, was no small matter. As the large hand covered and pressed down, the ghost aura was deep, and divine power crisscrossed, thoroughly displaying the Dao of ghost gods and intents of breaking and killing.
However, the phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor stood in the sky, dominating the universe. The Thunder Punishment eyes all over his body flickered everywhere. Suddenly, a palm stretched out, slapping down against the form of Sacred Lord Ghost Martial.
Sacred Lord Ghost Martial roared angrily, and his pitch-black palms met the attack simultaneously.
The two great experts clashed in the air, exchanging thousands of blows. The lightning in the sky became increasingly fierce, condensing downwards with divine thunder explosions everywhere. Concurrently, the phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor grew more and more powerful with the condensation of lightning. Unexpectedly, it suppressed the form of Sacred Lord Ghost Martial down.
"Thunder moves the Nine Heavens."
Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor suddenly emitted a muffled voice originating from the primordial Grand Meng. Gripping the sky with one hand, he forcefully made a tearing motion. The Nine Heavens were directly ripped open by him at once, and an ocean composed of lightning tilted down. Thunder dragons, thunder tigers, thunder beasts, thunder gods, thunder spirits, thunder kings… various forms densely packed, descending like hornets. In an instant, the secular world transformed into a massive thunder pool.
"Myriad Lives Thunder Pool!"
Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor tore once again, and these lightnings truly formed a thunder pool, unexpectedly enveloping the form of Sacred Lord Ghost Martial inside it in one fell swoop.
Sacred Lord Ghost Martial was evolved from the Sacred Diagram and was inextricably linked with Fang Han. Entering the thunder pool at once, Fang Han was immediately sucked into it as well.
"Oh no!"
Fang Han's entire person was fundamentally completely unable to resist the pulling force of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor's phantom. After being sucked into the thunder pool, his entire body began to explode inch by inch. The power of the thunder pool seemed intending to refine him within it.
"Break for me."
He continuously transformed, driving supreme martial dao, striking out various divine fists. Many civilization histories rose and fell, battering the thunder pool to sway continuously. The ten-thousand-zhang thunder water surged and roared angrily, about to break out of the pool.
But the phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor became increasingly clear, seemingly unwilling to rest until Fang Han was obliterated. Once again tearing at the sky, more firmaments were ripped apart, and more thunder and lightning from above, even divine thunder originating from antiquity, fell into the thunder pool in succession, injecting even more raging power into the thunder pool.
The thunder water inside the thunder pool condensed as though it were molten steel. As it surged, it carried the sound of metal, and amidst its angry roaring and galloping, any magic treasure would be evaporated in a flash.
At this very moment, Fang Han finally genuinely felt the might of the wrathful thunder.
His proud Immemorial Myriad Heavens Thunder Technique appeared so exceedingly susceptible to a single blow amidst the thunder water of this thunder pool. He could not even use thunder techniques to absorb this thunder water.
The thunder water was simply far harder than even the stone energy of Little Stone Emperor's God Sealing Stone Monument.
Clanging sounds emanated from the bottom of the thunder pool.
"Myriad thoughts return to one; the stronger the doom, the stronger I am." Suddenly, Fang Han entered the realm of Myriad Thoughts Returning to One, and he even displayed the Heaven and Earth as One realm, accompanied by the Great Dao Companion realm. Relying on his experience from his frequent hellish training, the laws all over his body twisted. Within the thunder pool, his feet stepped on the eight directions, his hands formed seals, and the crystal divine kingdoms entirely across his body opened like pores, unexpectedly inviting the wolf into the house, letting this thunder water scour his body.
Simultaneously, he operated the Heaven Mending True Energy in his body to resist the thunder water.
Earlier, Fang Han had swallowed up this entirely intact immemorial demon city, digesting it and driving it into the Heaven Mending Furnace, supplementing a massive amount of Heaven Mending True Energy.
Fortunately, he had simulated the scenes of the Heavenly Court Divine Prison law-enforcement disciples undergoing hellish training within a thunder pool. Only now, when encountering the obliteration of the thunder pool, did he possess enough experience on how to resist it.
As the thunder pool's thunder water surged, thunder explosions occurred continuously. Even if an Origin Immortal encountered this single thunder explosion, they would be blasted into powder. Yet now, Fang Han fought ever more bravely as the battle progressed.
Massive amounts of Ancestor Immortal laws were generated throughout his body, condensing and becoming indestructible spiritual light.
Inside his body, the numerous King-Grade spirit veins burned one by one. Combining with the essence blood within the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram, they integrated into Fang Han's body, transforming into streaks of laws. Among these laws, some converted into Heaven Mending True Energy, while others condensed the indestructible spiritual light.
For a cultivator, to condense the laws within the body plentifully and solidly, one must burn and consume Primal Qi, uniting it with one's own essence blood true energy, to be able to birth consecutive laws.
Now, having absorbed the one hundred and eight King-Grade spirit veins within the immemorial demon city, Fang Han had enough. Furthermore, the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram was not a magic treasure, but transformed from the essence blood of Sacred Lord Ghost Martial.
Combining spirit veins and essence blood, with a slight conversion, it could be transformed into laws. The laws could then turn into Heaven Mending True Energy to repair himself, and even more, ceaselessly strengthen the indestructible spiritual light, spawning Origin Immortal laws.
This was also thanks to Fang Han obtaining one hundred and eight King-Grade spirit veins and possessing the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram; otherwise, this doom would be impossible to survive.
Under the obliteration of the thunder pool, not only was he not wiped out, but he grew stronger and stronger. Towards the end, like an old monk entering deep meditation, he stood in the center of the thunder pool, allowing the rolling thunder explosions to blast upon his body without affecting his physical body in the slightest.
Repeated explosions occurred all around him. The explosions that originally could easily destroy an Origin Immortal every time could now only serve as his tonics.
The essence blood of the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram and Primal Qi burned en masse, turning into streaks of Ancestor Immortal laws that even emerged from his body to confront the thunder explosions.
With every thunder explosion, laws were crushed, only for two of them to fuse together and dive into that halo of indestructible spiritual light behind Fang Han's head.
The indestructible spiritual light grew stronger and stronger. Initially, it was just an origin point of bright light the size of a sesame seed, flickering unsteadily and impossible to see clearly. But now, it grew larger and larger, transforming into a full moon hanging behind Fang Han's head. As the bright light irradiated outward, the thunder explosions fell back one by one.
Faintly, an incredibly profound realm rippled in Fang Han's heart. All the crystal divine kingdoms across his body suddenly transformed again, and unexpectedly, behind the head of every single Ancestor God, indestructible spiritual light ascended.
The burning King-Grade spirit veins combined with the essence blood of Sacred Lord Ghost Martial and could no longer spawn Ancestor Immortal laws. Replacing them were laws resembling specks of indestructible spiritual light, flying out like fireflies.
These were Origin Immortal laws.
When essence blood combined with Primal Qi and failed to birth Ancestor Immortal laws but birthed Origin Immortal laws instead, it indicated that this person's realm had genuinely surpassed Ancestor Immortal and truly stepped into the Origin Immortal realm.
Shattering space to return to the origin, condensing qi into a point. Law bright light, eternal and indestructible.
This was an Origin Immortal.
In an instant, within the tempering of the thunder pool, Fang Han had actually cultivated into an Origin Immortal.
Every grain of crystal sand divine kingdom making up his body emitted great light, illuminating the macroscopic world and the cosmic universe. With a slight breath, it seemed he could inhale a collapsed space into his body and then spit it back out to create a new world.
The power inside Fang Han's body, every inch of his skin, was condensed into crystal blocks. If one were to say his previous body structure was carbon, then now it had turned into diamond.
Expending just a little power, the indestructible bright light behind his head caused the light all over his body to radiate explosively, piercing through the time of heaven and earth, illuminating the dark past, and illuminating the fog-like future.
The power of deduction throughout his entire body surged drastically in an instant. In a split second, Fang Han pierced thoroughly into heaven's secrets, seeming to grasp the threads of his own fate. All divine abilities, including the Book of the Era, the Thirty-Three Heavens supreme treasures, the Eight Divisions Pagoda, the Wings of Freedom, the Staff of Legend, the Time Freedom King Buddha Talisman… all cheered with joy, sensing the hope for promotion once again.
Cultivating to the Origin Immortal realm signified that he could already refine Peerless Immortal Artifacts.
Only Saint Immortals and Supreme Immortals could refine King-Grade Immortal Artifacts.
These magic treasures all possessed sentience. They knew that Fang Han's promotion would definitely bring them the hope of promotion.
"My body is eternal, spiritual light indestructible, tens of millions of ghosts and gods, cleanly swept away! Myriad lives to one life, fully in my heart; Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor, perish for me! Thunder pool, explode!"
Divine intent billowed in Fang Han's heart, his will domineering as never before. His whole body stretched outward, all four limbs erupting with destructive power. As he squeezed the boundless thunder water, it splashed out in all directions.
Boom! Imprinting his footsteps, the entire thunder pool began to burst wildly. He soared into the sky, hands forming fists. His whole body's spiritual light and Origin Immortal laws condensed upon a single fist, and the martial arts civilization history radiated from his entire body. He launched a direct strike.
The phantom of Heavenly Lord Thunder Emperor trembled, punched thoroughly through by a single blow.
