"Have the Barbarians really invaded Zhongzhou? Zhongzhou is vast in territory, and the large and small cultivation sects are numerous. Mountains and rivers are countless. It is not the residence of the Barbarians. For the Barbarians to actually be able to attack from within it, it is obvious that they have truly launched a large-scale war against the Heavenly Court."
A Holy Son said.
Zhongzhou, as the name implies, is located in the middle position among the hundred thousand major provinces of the Heavenly Court, therefore it is known as Zhongzhou.
The residence of the Barbarians is generally at the edge of the hundred thousand major provinces of the Heavenly Court, in desolate wilderness, deserts, and primeval forests. In a central region like Zhongzhou, Barbarians would basically never appear.
Now that the Barbarians have appeared in Zhongzhou, it represents that the Barbarian Clan has truly begun invading the hundred thousand major provinces of the Heaven Realm. This is a dangerous signal.
Fang Han had never seen the Barbarians, but in the various ancient texts he had read and the news he had heard, the impression of the Barbarians was that they were cruel, venomous, savage, and ate their food raw and drank blood. Every time they attacked the Heaven Realm, large numbers of cultivators were killed, and large numbers of female cultivators were plundered back by the Barbarians to be used as tools.
The civilization created by the Heavenly Court's hundred thousand major provinces and the Barbarians had always been mortal enemies, diametrically opposed, engaging in generation after generation of blood feuds. One side represented savagery, and the other side represented civilization.
However, in the campaigns of past dynasties, the Heavenly Court had always been in the absolute dominant position, dispelling the Barbarians and driving these savage warriors into barren deserts.
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Court was always unable to eradicate the Barbarians, thoroughly wiping them out.
Even when the Good Fortune Immortal King was still around, the Barbarians still sneaked into the savage lands of the Heaven Realm to rest and build up strength.
This was probably because the Heaven Realm was too large. Whether it was Heavenly Lords or even Immortal Kings, they could not probe the boundaries and limits. Moreover, among the Barbarians, there were also extremely formidable powerhouses, experts of the Heavenly Lord level.
As long as the Heavenly Lords were not destroyed, the Barbarians could always rest and build up their strength.
Furthermore, the Heaven Realm still had countless alternate dimension spaces, called distinct realms, within which there were also powerful and grand existences and races. The Heavenly Court basically could not exterminate them. At best, they merely occupied the most fertile land.
"Resist the Barbarians? That's good. Anyway, there's still some time before the genius battle held by the Heavenly Court. How about using the Barbarians for target practice. Zhongzhou is the foundation of our Yuhua Sect. Countless large and small countries and Immortal Dao sects must be completely preserved. We cannot let the Barbarians slaughter them." Fang Han stood up. "Where in Zhongzhou is the grand army of the Barbarians right now?"
"To reply to Senior Brother, currently the grand army of the Barbarians is in a Giant Drum Mountain Range at the edge of Zhongzhou. Rumor has it that this Giant Drum Mountain Range stretches for tens of trillions of miles. Within it, there are over a hundred thousand large and small cultivation sects, as well as countless mortal nations with flourishing populations."
A Holy Son replied immediately. "Unfortunately, now that they have encountered the Barbaric invasion, countless sects have been eliminated. Just now, the sect masters of several sects who cultivated to the Golden Immortal level came to our Yuhua Sect for help."
In the Heaven Realm, experts of the Longevity Secret Realm were all called mortals.
Even True Immortals, due to the restrictions of the Heavenly Court's rules, could not fly. Therefore, they were addressed as mortals.
In the Heavenly Court's hundred thousand major provinces, every major province had an incomparably vast territory. Even Golden Immortals would have to fly for months, or even years. In such a vast territory, the "mortals" within were countless, establishing countless nations. Taking Zhongzhou for example, there were a full tens of thousands of mortal empires.
Of course, these huge empires all revered the Yuhua Sect as the highest ancestor. It was somewhat similar to when they were in the secular world.
With the Barbarians invading Zhongzhou, naturally, they wouldn't rush all the way to the Yuhua Sect immediately. Instead, they would mercilessly slaughter some empires and cultivation sects in Zhongzhou, plundering populations and resources.
In this situation, the Yuhua Sect naturally could not sit idly by and watch. They were the guardians of Zhongzhou, and acting at this time was completely necessary.
As the leaders of the Yuhua Sect, the Holy Sons naturally had to lead the disciples of the Yuhua Sect to go kill enemies. Moreover, they could also temper themselves.
"Let's go! Lead me to the Giant Drum Mountain Range. I would instead like to see what formidable figures the Barbarians have. Last time they actually dared to besiege even the Heavenly Court."
Fang Han stood up. Currently, he was brimming with confidence. Not mentioning having the trump card of summoning the Heavenly Zen Buddha Emperor, even with his own strength alone, he now had sufficient power to confront a Saint.
After obtaining the mana transmission of the Heavenly Zen Buddha Emperor and completely condensing the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram, Fang Han's current strength, against a low-tier Saint, directly split the difference.
He flew up and stepped out of the Yuhua Heavenly Kingdom with a single step, taking dozens of Primordial Immortal level demons by his side as well.
Those Holy Sons followed behind him, as if they had already honored him as their leader.
Just as Fang Han led the Yuhua Sect's Holy Sons to the edge of Zhongzhou to resist the Barbarians, in a distant alternate dimension space, a woman sat solitarily.
This woman had ten thousand feet of white hair, an elegant and beautiful appearance. Behind her emerged the aura of countless enlightening civilizations. Scenarios of the God Clan thriving and ruling over all the heavens in various epochs all manifested.
She was the one destined to become the third Saint King of the God Clan in the future, the Heavenly Concubine Wumo who governed over enlightenment.
Heavenly Concubine Wumo sat in mid-air. Placed in front of her was an incomplete diagram. This incomplete diagram was like a heart, crimson as blood, constantly wriggling, as if dug out from some sort of divine diagram.
Powerful life force brewed within the core of the sacred diagram.
This was surprisingly the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram! The strongest and most crucial core incomplete diagram. Without this core incomplete diagram, the Ghost Martial Sacred Diagram was nothing but decoration.
Heavenly Concubine Wumo quietly looked at this incomplete diagram, seemingly reminiscing and pondering something.
"Ghost Martial, back then he was an existence to advance to a Heavenly Lord. Unfortunately, a crucial destiny was snatched away by Makino Huang. The affairs of the world are hard to predict, and amid the fleeting time, there are truly no new things." Heavenly Concubine Wumo suddenly sighed.
Right at this moment, suddenly, that heart-like incomplete diagram trembled violently. The quintessential qi originally locked on it actually began to leak out massively.
"Hm?"
Heavenly Concubine Wumo was slightly shocked: "To think the power of the core of this incomplete diagram has started to drain away. Impossible? Back in the day, the Ghost Martial Sacred Lord cultivated to the realm of Heaven and Earth Co-longevity. His body would not melt since ancient times. Unless heaven and earth shatter, the essence blood of this body will rot."
While speaking, her ten thousand feet of white hair started to tremble. Every strand of white hair acted like a paintbrush, sketching out various diagrams in mid-air.
She was calculating.
"So that's how it is. Someone used the Dao of Destiny to summon the origin spirit of the Ghost Martial Sacred Lord from the long river of the past, creating a new Ghost Martial Sacred Lord. The laws amid obscurity only recognize one Ghost Martial Sacred Lord, so the power of exactly this core incomplete diagram begins to be lost. Besides Fang Han, this person is no one else."
"Let me calculate and see. Now that Fang Han has entered the Heaven Realm, what kind of figure has he exactly become?"
She was about to continue her calculations when suddenly, from within the void, a chaotic will arrived through the air and shattered to pieces the calculation divine diagram she sketched with her hair.
Then, that infinite chaotic will transformed into a tall and towering figure in the air, its features unclear.
"Heavenly Lord of Chaos!"
Heavenly Concubine Wumo stood up, looking at this Heavenly Lord who had lived for many Chaos Epochs, a supreme existence belonging to the titan level.
"Heavenly Concubine Wumo, I thrust you have been well since we last met. Since you were defeated by Hongmeng Daoist, I thought you would die. But I didn't expect you, a person endowed with talent bestowed by the heavens, to actually rebuild after destruction and resurrect to materialize a Dao. I truly admire it. Calling you the third Saint King of the God Clan is precisely worthy of the name."
The figure of the Heavenly Lord of Chaos was merely a will. As soon as it shaped into form, it spoke to Heavenly Concubine Wumo, seemingly very familiarly.
"Heavenly Lord of Chaos, you are even more formidable. Back when you rebelled from the Heavenly Court, four great Heavenly Lords, Chaos, Disaster, Thunder Emperor, and Eternal, joined forces to try and capture you, but they were all resolved by you one by one. Now you are still carefree and unfettered, and your mana is even more tyrannically strong. It probably won't be long, once this Chaos Epoch has passed, you will attain the Immortal King karma position. From then on, I'll have to refer to you as the Chaos Immortal King?"
Heavenly Concubine Wumo said quietly.
"The three great Heavenly Lords, Chaos, Disaster, and Eternal, are excusable, for I have my reservations about those three. If the three of them join forces, I definitely have to keep out of their way. As for the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Lord, forget it. A new Heavenly Lord, even whether he could survive this Chaos Epoch's Great Tribulation and the Great Shattering of Heaven and Earth is unknown. If I wanted to kill him, it's not impossible." The will of the Heavenly Lord of Chaos let out a cold snort.
"The Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord is also a newly advanced Heavenly Lord of this epoch. I wonder if you could kill her?" Heavenly Concubine Wumo laughed.
"The Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord is different. She is a figure who entered the Gate of Eternal Life and obtained the favor of Destiny. Numerous Heavenly Lords are inferior to her. Back then, to suppress her, the Good Fortune Immortal King had even the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasures shattered by her. Unleashing the Great Destiny Technique, she summoned the Gate of Eternal Life. Unfortunately, she failed to cultivate to the realm of an Immortal King, and she herself could not endure the heavy pressure of the Gate of Eternal Life, plunging directly to her demise. However, the Good Fortune Immortal King also suffered serious injuries that time, and subsequently disappeared." The Heavenly Lord of Chaos quietly narrated a past event.
"Therefore, you have constantly been protecting that Fang Han? Because he is a person favored by the reincarnated body of the Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord? Do you wish to rely on this opportunity to establish a relationship with the Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord?" Heavenly Concubine Wumo said: "Yours is merely an idle move in chess."
"What kind of figure is I, the Heavenly Lord of Chaos? I wouldn't even protect the reincarnated body of the Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord." The Heavenly Lord of Chaos proudly stated: "Me protecting Fang Han naturally bears my own logic. He is not someone the mere Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord can compare to. Probably you still don't understand, and no one else understands. Only I have peeked into the heavenly secrets. Of course, the Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord has also peeked into the heavenly secrets."
"Could it be that Fang Han is the reincarnation of a King of Immortals? He possesses the Good Fortune Artifacts, is he the reincarnation of the Good Fortune Immortal King? No, he communicated with the power of Origin; is he the reincarnation of the Origin Immortal King? Or the reincarnation of Hongmeng Daoist? That is also not right. He possesses the talisman of the World Honored Buddha of Absolute Freedom. Could it be the reincarnation of the World Honored Buddha of Absolute Freedom? Or perhaps, the reincarnation of some fallen Immortal Kings from numerous epochs ago? In short, he must be the reincarnation of a supreme power of the Immortal King level. Otherwise, it would fundamentally not be worthy of you protecting him." Heavenly Concubine Wumo asked tentatively.
"You will know sooner or later." The voice of the Heavenly Lord of Chaos became emotionless. "However, understanding this point, in the days to come, you can gain a sliver of vitality for the God Clan. This incomplete diagram of the Ghost Martial Sacred Lord does not have much use. Leaving behind a bit of chance will bear enormous benefits for you in the future."
While speaking, this Heavenly Lord pointed a finger. Bang! The core of the Ghost Martial Sacred Lord's incomplete diagram was suddenly destroyed.
At exactly the same time, Fang Han, flying through Zhongzhou, suddenly felt the sacred diagram of the Ghost Martial Sacred Lord stir. Countless boundless, obscure powers within the void poured directly down.
An aura of a king rippled across the sacred diagram.
