"Saints and reincarnations of Emperors, their heavenly tribulations are indeed much more formidable than ordinary people's, just as expected. Those ancient thunder cannons, every single strike can blast the laws apart. Even with the protection of a Peerless Immortal Artifact, one wouldn't be able to survive."
Fang Han watched Little Rain Emperor and Little Axe Emperor resisting the heavenly tribulation in the sky, finding a distinct kind of flavor in it.
Earlier he had been struck by lightning himself, and now he was watching others being struck by lightning.
The light of the ancient thunder cannons bombarded Little Rain Emperor Xia Zhiqiu's body. The entire body of this woman immediately emitted a scorched smell, turning a great beauty into a pitch-black devil.
Fang Han immediately raised his hand and channeled a streak of Heaven Mending True Energy over. Little Rain Emperor's entire body also began to recover, turning back into a sixteen-year-old young girl in a white dress, a peerless beauty.
On the other side, Little Axe Emperor was also being bombarded by the ancient thunder cannons, his whole body's skin torn and flesh split. However, his face remained resolute and unmoving, without uttering a single wail. He raised the axe in his hands, madly chopping and slashing at the thunder explosion. The Primal Qi spirit veins on his body transformed into massive dragon flames, spewing like volcanoes.
Fang Han similarly directed a streak of Heaven Mending True Energy over.
Receiving the help of the Heaven Mending True Energy, the two of them felt a thorough comfort throughout their bodies, finding it exceedingly smooth and adept to resist the heavenly tribulation. Before long, the heavenly tribulation shifted and grew even more fierce, with thunder cities and thunder cannons appearing everywhere, conducting frantic bombardments. Unfortunately for the tribulation, the two had the support of Fang Han's Heaven Mending True Energy, so no matter how ferocious the thunder explosions were, they could not harm their origins.
A full three hours passed. All the Ancestor Immortal laws of the two people began to convert into indestructible spiritual light, and behind their heads, an Origin Immortal law the size of a fist bobbed up and down.
Through this, the comparison was immediately evident. Fang Han's Origin Immortal law and indestructible spiritual light were like the bright moon in the sky, while theirs were merely bright stars, only serving to set off the radiance of the bright moon.
As for some elementary-stage Origin Immortals, the indestructible spiritual light behind their heads was nothing more than fireflies.
Whew!
The heavenly tribulation thunder explosions gradually dissipated. The two ultimately survived the heavenly tribulation, passing through it completely, their entire bodies' Ancestor Immortal laws converting into Origin Immortal. Smiles emerged on their faces. Full of energy, they stood up, unexpectedly appearing in a peak, optimal state.
"Many thanks to Brother Feng. If it weren't for Brother Feng, we probably would have suffered a great loss to our vitality." Little Axe Emperor Xuanyuan Po said gratefully.
"The true energy Brother Feng used is simply an invincible miraculous medicine. I wonder what its origin is? I have indeed never seen it before." Little Rain Emperor Xia Zhiqiu admired the restorative ability of the Heaven Mending True Energy to the utmost point.
"This is a treasure I refined after occasionally coming across a Saint-Grade Immortal Pill and gathering some of its medicinal energy." Fang Han casually came up with a reason, one that was completely reasonable and logical.
"A Saint-Grade medicinal pill!" Both of them exclaimed in shock: "Consuming this kind of medicinal pill can allow one to immediately become a Saint. You had such a fortuitous encounter? To unexpectedly be able to obtain such a medicinal pill?"
"A pity I didn't actually obtain it. That Saint-Grade Immortal Pill was exceedingly formidable, and after encountering it, I was almost defeated by it." Fang Han said: "I only obtained some of the medicinal energy from its body, brought it back, forged it a thousand times, and cultivated it into a true energy that can repair all scars and broken laws. Pity that it has all been exhausted now."
"A pity, a pity indeed. The strength of a Saint-Grade medicinal pill is comparable to a Half-Saint, capable of casually obliterating Origin Immortals. They can also cultivate on their own, transforming into a true Saint, complete with soul and flesh, even more powerful than cultivators." The two sighed repeatedly.
"It can be encountered but not sought after." Fang Han said: "Now that you two have safely passed the heavenly tribulation and truly become Origin Immortals, let us explore this demonic cavern completely and see what treasures and spirit veins remain. Right, when I was refining the immemorial demon city, a full dozens of formidable demonic monsters escaped. Capturing them one by one will also be a sum of wealth."
"Could it be that Brother Feng still lacks wealth now? In that immemorial demon city you just refined, there were bound to be unknown amounts of treasures, as well as a full one hundred and eight First-Grade spirit veins. I wonder how many Brother Feng has left now? There must certainly be over a hundred, right? Even a Saint probably isn't as wealthy as Brother Feng."
The two of them said enviously.
Fang Han's heart stirred. Indeed, when he had recently refined the immemorial demon city, the one hundred and eight King-Grade spirit veins were all pocketed. However, when undergoing the heavenly tribulation, he expended a full eight of them, and now exactly one hundred remained.
That meant passing this heavenly tribulation had cost him a full nearly fifteen King-Grade spirit veins, greatly exceeding the estimated result.
But the sheer fierceness of the heavenly tribulation was also beyond his expectations.
Fortunately, the heavenly tribulation had now been safely passed, and he possessed the wealth of a full one hundred King-Grade spirit veins, which even some ancient Saints couldn't compare to. If this kind of wealth were brought outside, into the Heaven and Earth Alliance chamber of commerce, it was unknown how many people it would scare to death.
"This time is all thanks to the Heaven Mending True Energy. If the true energy had not been enough, I would have certainly been dead. Now the Heaven Mending True Energy is also nearly depleted. After getting out, I must purchase more Buddha fat, and this time it must be Saint's Buddha fat to be effective. Ah right, having promoted to the Origin Immortal realm, I can refine Peerless Immortal Artifacts. The incoming task is to completely turn the Thirty-Three Heavens supreme treasures, the Staff of Legend, the Wings of Freedom, and the Eight Divisions Pagoda all into Peerless Immortal Artifacts. This is a massive project."
At the thought of needing to cultivate so many Peerless Immortal Artifacts in the future, Fang Han couldn't help but feel a slight dizziness in his head. With his current cultivation base, refining them would be incredibly difficult. Unless he could once again find fragments of the Artifact of Creation, generally finding the materials would cost him several hundreds of thousands of Heaven Realm years.
"Still have to kill Little Stone Emperor and seize the God Sealing Stone Monument. However, the fury of the One Heavenly Sect is also hard to withstand. Fine, I will just find an opportunity to seize his God Sealing Stone Monument and spare his life. He has cultivated to the Half-Saint realm, but I am the same. In a one-on-one fight, I still have complete assurance of killing him. But this person subdued a clone left behind by Cang Sheng; if truly refined, although he couldn't become a Saint, his power would probably really not be under mine…"
Fang Han pondered in his heart.
The reason he was able to defeat Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei earlier was that the opponent had not yet fully refined that clone of Cang Sheng.
If fully refined, his power would at least double. At the same time, thoroughly bringing out some of the powers of the God Sealing Stone Monument, by then, although Fang Han still had absolute confidence in suppressing him, it would be a prolonged battle.
"Let's go, search the depths of other demonic caverns to see if there are any remaining spirit veins."
With their strength greatly advanced, Little Axe Emperor and Little Rain Emperor were completely satisfied. Tearing through the void with both hands, chopping apart layer after layer of spatial barriers, they shuttled through this demonic cavern, attempting to find treasures.
It was just a pity that within these demonic caverns, there were no longer any demonic monsters, nor any evil qi spirit vein rivers, not even an immemorial demon city or monstrous city. Empty and bare, it seemed to have been scoured entirely clean by a peerless figure.
Fang Han and the others shuttled through the void the whole way, arriving at the very depths of this demonic cavern, where they saw a cave dwelling, several stone pillars, scattered iron chains, and the aura of powerful seals remaining on the stone pillars.
Very clearly, a powerful devil was once sealed here, unfortunately now rescued by someone, or exterminated.
Taking a step, Fang Han entered the cave dwelling, grabbed a section of iron chain, and discovered that this iron chain was forged from an unknown metal, a substance left over from the previous era. There was no magic force within it, yet it was unusually hard.
Holding the iron chain, he casually flicked it, and immediately time began to regress, manifesting a picture.
Locked within this iron chain was a devil with a green face, prominent fangs, a head full of white hair, and red eyes. An aura of extreme ferocity and absolute wickedness emanated from the devil's body.
"An Evil Corpse!"
"This is Cang Sheng's Evil Corpse!"
Both Little Axe Emperor and Little Rain Emperor retreated a step in unison.
"Oh? Could it be that Cang Sheng practiced the long-lost Three Corpses Sacred Technique from the demonic dao? This Evil Corpse wasn't sealed, but rather, he slashed it out and abandoned it here?" In the Ascension Sect, Fang Han had read an unknown number of classical records. Once in a Book of Devils, he learned that there was a sacred technique within the demonic dao called the Three Corpses Sacred Dao. Slashing evil, slashing good, slashing away the self, immediately achieving sagehood, merging completely with the Dao. Once cultivated, using this demonic skill was near formless and traceless, with overwhelming magic force, harboring the inscrutable secrets of ghosts and gods, and the operations of heaven and earth.
"Correct, this is the Evil Corpse left behind from Cang Sheng cultivating the Three Corpses Sacred Technique. To think it was actually seized by Little Stone Emperor and refined into his body. I'm afraid the future troubles will be endless." Joy appeared on Sun Shihua's face.
"That won't happen. What kind of person is Little Stone Emperor? In those years, as a King-Grade Immortal Artifact, the God Sealing Stone Monument practically suppressed the ages and was passed down through all generations, possessing an unshakable foundation. Furthermore, he reincarnated into the One Heavenly Sect, cultivating the methods passed down by Heavenly Lord Disaster, and once received pointers from Heavenly Lord Disaster. He definitely possesses the method to refine the Evil Corpse, so it will not have a huge impact on him." Little Rain Emperor shook her head.
Fang Han continued deducing.
Indeed, he saw Little Stone Emperor dash right in and begin battling this sealed devil. The two clashed, colliding incessantly. Suddenly, a series of thunder explosions rang out in the sky, shocking the devil into suffocation for a single moment. Little Stone Emperor succeeded, collecting it into the God Sealing Stone Monument.
Afterward, Little Stone Emperor continuously circled inside this cavern, destroying many stone pillars with a palm strike and retrieving numerous formidable magic treasures and medicinal pills from hidden compartments within the pillars.
A pitch-black iron ruler, a gourd of powerful medicinal pills, a mountain-shaped painting… were all pocketed by Little Stone Emperor. Furthermore, Fang Han also saw that within that mountain-shaped painting, many powerful King-Grade spirit veins had been sealed into strokes of the painting.
"Vast Divine Ruler!"
"Seven Saints Pill!"
"Dim Moon Over Pale Mountains Painting!"
Little Axe Emperor, Little Rain Emperor, and Sun Shihua grew thoroughly shocked. Seeing Little Stone Emperor collect those three magic treasures, their hearts bled, as clearly these three items were things exceedingly difficult to come by since antiquity.
Fang Han could also see the power of these three magic treasures, yet they had all been taken by Little Stone Emperor, so there was nothing he could do. Only by killing the opponent and seizing the treasures was the kingly path.
With a flick of his hand, he shattered the deduced picture. Opening his mouth, he inhaled, and the entire cave dwelling began to collapse. Stone pillars, iron chains, and the space itself were all sucked into his mouth.
Then he directly flew up, preparing to depart from this demonic cavern.
