The several Sages of the Heavenly Court felt they had utterly lost face.
They had just guaranteed that no one would deliberately come to provoke the Yuhua Sect, and immediately, someone came to provoke them. This was equivalent to a blatant slap in the face. The several Sages were about to scold them, but after clearly seeing the newcomers, their expressions became extremely awkward, and the words of reprimand that had reached their lips were swallowed back.
Because the newcomers were from the Huangfu family, experts of the Divine Province Pure Land.
The Divine Province Pure Land held a transcendent status. The Heavenly Court did not dare to use rules to oppress them, let alone these Sages.
Especially when the several Sages of the Heavenly Court saw that the one speaking was the "Kingdom Emperor" Huangfu Guo, they even took a few steps back. The Kingdom Emperor was an expert somewhat more formidable than the Slaughter Emperor, a major figure in the Huangfu family, second only to the current head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Dadao.
The current head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Dadao, was also an emperor of the "Longevity Matching Heaven and Earth" level, but rumored to have strength almost comparable to the Xi Emperor, capable of escaping with his life from under the hands of a Heavenly Lord.
An expert of this caliber possessed a thousand, or even ten thousand times the power of an ordinary emperor.
The several Heavenly Court Sages quietly retreated, not daring to speak further.
They did not want to be caught between the Huangfu family and the Yuhua Sect and suffer a disaster of the innocent. Instances of fish in the moat perishing when the city gates caught fire were not uncommon.
Huangfu Guo was aggressive, directly cursing Fang Han as a "little bastard" right from the start; this was simply a naked insult.
With a boom, the Sons of the Yuhua Sect immediately exploded. The invincible image of Feng Yuan was already deeply rooted in their hearts, allowing no profanity. For him to actually be insulted now, how could this be tolerated?
"Silence."
Fang Han looked at the many experts of the Huangfu family, raised his hand, and uttered one word. Immediately, all the Sons of the Yuhua Sect quieted down, no longer erupting.
This time, the Huangfu family had brought many experts to hold the lines, precisely out of fear of suffering a loss if they came into conflict with other sects; their power had to be an absolute suppression.
In this Heavenly Court genius battle, thousands upon thousands of sects gathered to fight, and conflicts were unavoidable.
Only absolute power could guarantee not suffering a loss during conflicts and preserving a sect's reputation.
Now, right before the start of the Heavenly Court genius battle, the Huangfu family confronted the Yuhua Sect. Fang Han clearly understood the opposing party's intention: they wanted to severely deal a blow to the sect's morale, making them unable to recover during the genius battle and preventing them from achieving a good ranking.
The rewards for this Heavenly Court genius battle were rumored to be incomparably generous. Even if one could not seize the championship, as long as one obtained a good ranking, they could receive massive cultivation from the Heavenly Court.
There was even a chance to enter the Heavenly Vein to cultivate.
These were all things the major sects were fighting for.
Of course, the "Kingdom Emperor" directly provoking them this time was obviously targeted at Feng Yuan.
"Your name is Huangfu Guo, right? Known as the Kingdom Emperor? A powerhouse of Longevity Matching Heaven and Earth?" Fang Han's gaze pierced straight at the Kingdom Emperor, extremely calm, without a trace of expression.
"That's right, even the sect master of your Yuhua Sect, the Feather Emperor, is no match for this emperor. This emperor could pinch him to death with one hand. You, this little bastard, are truly audacious, actually daring to lead the Yuhua Sect Sons here alone; are you not afraid of death?" A trace of disdain flickered in the Kingdom Emperor's eyes, and thick contempt was clearly displayed on his face.
"Little bastard? Very well." Fang Han said calmly: "You called me this twice to my face. For this, two people from the Huangfu family must die to wash away your sin with blood. Do you understand?"
"Audacious!"
Hearing these words from Fang Han, obvious killing intent flashed across Huangfu Guo's face. This killing intent permeated and instantly enveloped Fang Han: "Little bastard, you are too arrogant. If you dare to act against the people of our Huangfu family, you must pay the price. Do you believe I'll cripple you right now? And then go to your Yuhua Sect, drag the Feather Emperor out, and make him kneel and repent?"
"That's another sentence, three lives. Insulting the sect master of my sect aggravates the crime, making it five lives. Your Huangfu family already owes our Yuhua Sect eight lives."
Fang Han completely ignored Huangfu Guo's insults, instead calculating calmly.
"I hope that your words will not result in the extermination of the Huangfu family. Even the ancestor of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Bi'an, was refined by someone; it is merely a magical artifact, ultimately unable to escape the destiny of being enslaved by others."
"You! Seeking death! I will obliterate you right now!"
Finally, Kingdom Emperor Huangfu Guo was enraged. Not only him, but all the experts of the Huangfu family were thoroughly infuriated. Although Fang Han's words were calm, they were too vicious, actually insulting the Huangfu family's ancestor, Huangfu Bi'an. This was something no family could tolerate.
Boom!
The Kingdom Emperor, Huangfu Guo, struck. The moment he struck, it was earth-shattering. Grabbing with a large hand, the Huangfu family's Divine Fist of Bi'an was executed. The first stance, "Boundless Sea of Bitterness," not only enveloped Fang Han but even enveloped all the Sons of the Yuhua Sect.
To dare strike directly within the Heavenly Court showed Huangfu Guo's formidable strength and arrogant demeanor.
The sea of bitterness was boundless, rolling endlessly; true core energy surged, the surroundings collapsed, heaven and earth were vast, and the latitudes and longitudes spun. As Huangfu Guo struck down with the Boundless Sea of Bitterness, the surrounding environment immediately changed. Everything disappeared, transforming into a vast sea of bitterness with fierce winds and giant waves, bringing a fatal disaster upon people.
If an ordinary emperor encountered this strike, they would die instantly.
But Fang Han remained calm throughout, without the slightest emotional fluctuation, nor making any visible movement. Countless dragon scale runes flew out from his body, connecting into a piece of eggshell-shaped scale canopy that protected all the Sons of the Yuhua Sect. This canopy formed a realm of its own.
"Progenitor Dragon Realm."
Fang Han supported this Dragon Realm, remaining completely unmoved despite the impact of the domineering power of the boundless sea of bitterness.
Under the impact of this domineering power of the sea of bitterness, not only did he block it, but in an instant, he fiercely counterattacked!
"Huangfu Fei, watch closely. Your Divine Fist of the Golden Mean is not executed like this at all. I will let you witness the true Way of the Golden Mean, the Divine Fist of the Confucian School."
Amidst his fierce counterattack, Fang Han actually executed the absolute art of the Confucian School that he had comprehended from Huangfu Fei, the Divine Fist of the Golden Mean!
The five major killer moves—"Condemned by All," "Wrath of Gods and Men," "Crimes Too Numerous to Record," "Infamous for Ten Thousand Years," and "Destroyed by Heaven and Earth"—all surged forth in a single punch from Fang Han, instantly tearing apart the fist force of the Boundless Sea of Bitterness right then and there.
"Pop!"
All of Kingdom Emperor Huangfu Guo's power was routed, and his entire person involuntarily took a step back in the air, looking at Fang Han with a face full of astonishment.
He never expected that Fang Han would actually break his fist technique and force him back.
Fang Han's strength had advanced further. During his battle with the Slaughter Emperor, he had comprehended many things. After returning, he calculated with all his might, absorbed the vitality of the Heavenly Vein, and charged at the Emperor realm. Although he did not succeed, his comprehension of the Great Dao went deeper, and his own Era Divine Fist elevated to a terrifying realm.
All the histories of civilizations, pages rising, every word a pearl.
Every civilization, Fang Han's thoughts roamed within them, constantly traveling the Great Dao in spirit. At this moment, not only did he enter the realm of Heaven and Earth as One, but he also successfully entered the realm of "Roaming With the Great Dao."
He knew that during the period he cultivated in the Heavenly Court's "Wuhua Hall," he had progressed significantly. Compared to when he had just entered the Heavenly Court, he was much more formidable.
Dealing with the Kingdom Emperor was even more effortless.
Forcing back the Kingdom Emperor with one palm, Fang Han's eyelids drooped, and a voice issued from his mouth: "Kingdom Emperor, if your strength falls short, do not show off. My power is still somewhat inferior to Sect Master Feather Emperor. You cannot even defeat me and are forced back by me; if you encountered Sect Master Feather Emperor, you would definitely be beaten to death alive. And you still dare to speak arrogantly? Very well, since you cannot resist me, you must pay the price for what you just said. Eight lives of the Huangfu family, I will personally take them. That will settle the score."
As he spoke, Fang Han took a step forward.
Rip!
His body, formless and shadowless, unexpectedly charged directly into the group of Huangfu family's Sons; even the numerous emperors could not block him.
"Bang!"
A Huangfu family Son who had cultivated to the Origin Immortal realm was charged into by him, shaken in the air, and directly torn apart, turning into a talisman amidst a miserable scream.
"The first life!"
As Fang Han killed this Son, a voice like a death-urging talisman rang out from his mouth.
"Thief, you dare!"
Within the Huangfu family, there was no shortage of experts. An emperor's expression changed wildly; he opened his mouth and spat, and talismans as numerous as the sands of the Ganges shot out from his mouth, forming a large ship that rammed towards Fang Han.
Without even turning his head, Fang Han delivered a backhand palm at the large ship, grabbed it in his hand, and crushed it alive, reverting it back into runes. With a flick of his hand, he struck it into the body of another Huangfu family Son.
That Son, who had cultivated to Half-Sage, let out a loud roar, his body turning into green smoke, condensing into a talisman, and landing in the palm of Fang Han's hand.
"Two lives." Fang Han's movements did not cease. He executed the Free Nine Transformations, Boundless Walker, and the numerous steps from the Era Divine Fist, internally containing the Way of Heaven-Stealing. Dashing into the group of Huangfu family Sons, almost no one could fathom where he would appear next. Even emperors could not deduce it; his Lesser Destiny Technique completely concealed his fate.
"Fighting alone across three thousand miles, one sword blocking a million-strong army."
Swish! As he spun, Fang Han drove the civilization of the Way of the Sword; the Sword-Burying Qi pierced through three more Origin Immortal level Sons.
"Five lives."
Fang Han's divine sense flickered, circulating once more. Behind him, emperors roared in anger, and Sages attacked continuously, but they could not even touch a corner of his clothes. They could only watch his devil-like slaughter, sweeping lives like the god of death.
"A host of dragons without a leader brings auspiciousness to the world, the Chaos Era passes another year…"
Fang Han chanted two more lines of poetry; the Era Divine Fist erupted with full force. Bang, bang! Two more Sons exploded again, grasped in his hand.
"Seven lives! There is one more; I must reap a Sage to wash away your insults!" In this brief instance, having slain seven people, a glint suddenly passed through Fang Han's eyes, targeting a Sage-level Supreme Elder within the Huangfu family.
He let out a long howl and struck with full force at that Sage. Enveloped by power, the magical artifacts on the body of that Sage suddenly turned into a puff of green smoke, directly melted away.
