"Emperor Ferocity, if you still do not change this temper of yours, do not blame me as your older brother for imprisoning you forever." Emperor Life heard Emperor Ferocity's voice transmission: "You cannot offend this person. If he is the reincarnation of a Heavenly Monarch without any backing, that would be one thing; we could take the risk to capture him and secretly refine him, which would greatly benefit us. But he is one of the geniuses gathered by the Eternal Heavenly Monarch and has the protection of the Eternal Heavenly Monarch behind him. Do you want to seek death?"
"Hmph!"
Emperor Ferocity stopped speaking.
"Next, you should keep your eyes wide open and carefully watch this Jun Cangsheng's future fierce battle against Feng Yuan. Don't you want to see that Jun Cangsheng slay Feng Yuan?" Emperor Life smiled.
"Right, I definitely have to watch. It would be best if both sides suffered heavy casualties. It is a pity I cannot participate in this genius battle, otherwise I would take a huge advantage."
Deep in his heart, Emperor Ferocity roared madly, continuously urging his own magic power.
"Emperor Xi, in the previous competitions, this Jun Cangsheng always won by a narrow margin and never showed off his true abilities. Even I did not see that he was actually the reincarnation of a Heavenly Monarch. However, up until now, I have not figured out exactly which ancient Heavenly Monarch's reincarnation this person is."
Emperor Gua calculated for a long time but yielded no results.
"I do not know either. There were quite a few ancient Heavenly Monarchs. Perhaps this person is a Heavenly Monarch from a previous era who perished, but a trace of his soul brand remained and entered the samsara of this life to start anew. It is hard to say." Emperor Xi shook his head. He was unable to calculate it either; every Heavenly Monarch was a mysterious existence, and it was fundamentally impossible for Emperors to calculate their secrets.
In the long river of history, across numerous chaos eras, many Heavenly Monarchs were born, and the vast majority perished in the long river of destiny. For example, the previous witchcraft civilisation, the beast dao civilisation before that, and the Confucian dao civilisation before that… These Great Destructions of Heaven and Earth occurred time and time again, annihilating countless unknown Heavenly Monarchs. Tracing back to the source, perhaps only figures who had lived for more than ten chaos eras, such as the Good Fortune Immortal King and the Progenitor Sacred King of the God Race, would know clearly.
Therefore, none of the people present could guess exactly which Heavenly Monarch's reincarnation that "Jun Cangsheng" was.
"Senior Brother, that Jun Cangsheng has emerged, he is truly too formidable…" Xu Muyun and the other Sacred Children of the Yuhua Sect originally believed that Fang Han winning the championship was a certainty. But now, a dark horse had appeared out of thin air: the Heavenly Monarch reincarnation Jun Cangsheng, who slew the Little Stone Emperor Song Tengfei with two sword strikes. At this moment, their hearts leaped into their throats.
Thinking about how Fang Han was very likely to encounter such a terrifying enemy next, they couldn't help but feel extremely anxious.
"Senior Brother, this Jun Cangsheng is unfathomably deep. If you encounter him in the next round, you can choose to abstain. Anyway, the reincarnation of a Heavenly Monarch is fundamentally not something human power can contend against, and it will not damage the prestige of our Yuhua Sect." Sun Shihua said solemnly, "Senior Brother Feng, you are now the pillar of our Yuhua Sect. You absolutely cannot have any mishaps. Endure for a while, wait until you cultivate the Great Dao in the future, and there will still be many opportunities."
"No matter." Fang Han waved his hand, a trace of a smile appearing on his face, "Such a tyrannical opponent is exactly the best touchstone to temper my martial arts. If I were afraid of even a Heavenly Monarch reincarnation, an eternal shadow would be planted in my heart, causing an enormous obstacle to impacting the path of the Heavenly Monarch in the future, perhaps even preventing me from ever reaching Heavenly Monarch. I must absolutely obtain the championship this time. I have to fight for that Sage Grade Immortal Pill, the King Grade Immortal Weapon, and the opportunity to cultivate in the Heaven vein. They are necessary conditions for me to advance to Emperor; otherwise, relying solely on the Yuhua Sect's single Sage Grade spirit vein, I am afraid I would be unable to advance to Emperor."
"Since Senior Brother is so confident, then we shall assist you in ruling the world."
A disciple immediately said. They had developed a kind of blind worship towards Fang Han.
This round of battles lasted for a very long time. Some experts were entangled with each other, the fighting was extremely tragic, and many geniuses stained the arena with their blood. With a sweep of his gaze, Fang Han almost memorised the remaining experts from the various sects. Some deeply hidden powerhouses were also calculated by him one by one.
In an instant, he possessed a momentum of having everything under his control.
"Ah!"
The final miserable cry came from a disciple of the supreme great sect, the Profound Nether Divine Sect, who had cultivated to the Sage realm. He was slain by a leader of the Heavenly Court's divine prison enforcement disciples, bringing this round of battles to a complete end.
That leader of the Heavenly Court's divine prison enforcement disciples was a disciple with a face as sharp as if carved by an axe, bearing a resolute expression. He was empty-handed and his gaze was cold, as if all matters in the world had nothing to do with him.
That Profound Nether Divine Sect was also a supreme great sect, and the slain disciple was called the Little Iron Emperor, the reincarnation of the ancient fallen Iron Emperor.
Yet he was slain by this divine prison enforcement disciple leader without expending the slightest price. This showed just how formidable this person was.
"Goodness, the Little Iron Emperor has also perished. It seems that reaching the final juncture, everyone has brought out their true strength."
"The one who slew the Little Iron Emperor is Xuan Ye, one of the supreme leaders of the Heavenly Court's divine prison enforcement disciples. Rumour has it that when he fights others, he never uses more than half his magic power; he sealed the other half himself, just to challenge his limits. This person is a freak; he is not the reincarnation of any Heavenly Monarch or Emperor. Rumours say he ascended from the mortal realm of the lower realms."
"Ascended from the lower realms? The lower realms are rumoured to simply be a place of garbage, lacking even Pure Yang energy, let alone Origin energy. If I went down to a place so devoid of spiritual energy, I would probably suffocate straight away. However, to be able to cultivate to the realm of ascension in such a spiritually barren place is quite extraordinary."
"This Xuan Ye is rumoured to be a disciple highly favoured by the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Monarch."
"From here on out, the fierce battle of dragons and tigers will be wonderful to watch."
…
Outside the entire Heaven and Earth Battle Arena, the genius battle exhibited a white-hot state, becoming increasingly intense. Experts emerged in great numbers, and some normally hidden figures successively unleashed their heaven-reaching methods. The upcoming battles would be even more spectacular.
This round of battles concluded, and everyone rested.
Several hours later, the great sun of the Heaven Realm rose again, and a new day arrived, bathing the Heaven Realm in brightness. The war drums rolled once more, and a new round of battles began again.
As this round of battles began, the flashing halos became much fewer. Large numbers of Sacred Children were eliminated, and some Sacred Children also started to abstain. Even experts like the Little Axe Emperor and the Little Rain Emperor did not plan to enter the arena, because everyone left now was a terrifying figure. A single misstep against an expert would mean complete death.
At this stage, the genius battle was a true contest among absolute geniuses. Every single person who could reach this point was a peerless overlord validated through bloody slaughter.
"All Sacred Children of the Yuhua Sect, hear my command. You do not need to participate in the upcoming battles. Stop here." Fang Han ran a quick calculation and issued the order.
"Yes!"
The major disciples also felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that fighting any further would certainly lead to death.
Runes also appeared on Fang Han's seat. His opponent for this round: Muye Family, Wisdom Fist Muye Zhen.
"Brother Muye, trust you have been well since we last met?" Fang Han entered the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena and looked at Muye Zhen, his gaze particularly fixed on his pair of Chonghua's Pupils.
"I did not expect that Brother Feng Yuan would actually grow to such an extent; it is truly worthy of congratulations. However, I have also cultivated an absolute art now. How about we exchange pointers today? Moreover, I would like to make a bet with Brother Feng Yuan. If I win, I hope Brother Feng Yuan will yield the corpse from the Heavenly Zen Buddha Emperor's treasury to me. How about it?"
Muye Zhen said, brimming with confidence.
"And if you lose?" Fang Han asked in return.
"If I lose, I will dig out both of my eyes and give them to you. As you can see, these eyes of mine are an inborn divine body, the King of Myriad Eyes, Chonghua's Pupils. How about it?" The Wisdom Fist Muye Zhen said.
"Sigh! Why bother doing this?" Fang Han sighed and shook his head, "Since that is the case, I will let Brother Muye give up this idea."
While speaking, he made his move. Stepping out, he closed in on Muye Zhen.
"Chonghua's Pupils!"
Muye Zhen roared loudly, and overlapping space-time tunnels and distorted force fields immediately shot out from his eyes. Countless star domains manifested out of thin air. The distance between Fang Han and his opponent was instantly separated by countless galaxies, making the edge fundamentally untouchable. This was the might of the Chonghua's Pupils, the Myriad Eyes King's ability to distort space-time.
Swish!
Fang Han grabbed over with one hand, but Muye Zhen's eyes flashed, and he actually replicated a large hand exactly like Fang Han's from his eyes. It clashed back, breaking apart Fang Han's palm.
"It is useless, Brother Feng Yuan. My Chonghua's Pupils have comprehended a new realm through the previous rounds of battle. They can replicate all Dao techniques, all physical forms, and even all magic treasures, though it requires Heaven vein origin energy. But I just obtained a lot of Heaven vein origin energy, so all your attacks are futile to me."
Muye Zhen's voice transmitted from within the distorted space-time tunnels.
Fang Han took a glance and faintly saw that deep within the space-time tunnel, a pair of eyes was continuously replicating. Subsequently, they actually replicated the forms of both himself and the Eight部 Pagoda.
In this instant, he seemed to be at an absolute disadvantage.
"Why bother?"
Fang Han sighed once again, suddenly opened his mouth, and let out a loud roar, "Om Mani Padme Hum!", roaring out the six-syllable true words recorded on the World Honored Free King Buddha Talisman.
"Buzz!"
All the space-time tunnels were completely shattered, and all replicated Dao techniques were swept away like falling leaves in a fierce wind, exploding one after another.
"Ah!"
Muye Zhen let out a miserable scream, his eyes bleeding, and his body retreated in a panic. Fang Han's footsteps did not even move; the pair of Wings of Freedom on his back began to flap, completely manipulating space. Muye Zhen's retreat transformed into an advance, and he actually crashed automatically toward Fang Han.
Fang Han reached out his large hand, pinched Muye Zhen, and hoisted him into mid-air.
"Brother Muye? How is it? I told you, you are not my match. Having slain Huangfu Fei, swallowed the Wuxu Cauldron and his body, and possessing Huangfu Bi'an's talisman, my cultivation has advanced to an immeasurable realm. Let alone you, even if the Pupil Emperor who gave you the Chonghua's Pupils came to execute them personally, he would meet the same end."
