"Feng Yuan, you have repeatedly offended our Heavenly Court's divine prison and brutally murdered divine prison enforcement disciples. You have already committed a great taboo. You are provoking the majesty of the divine prison. If you can kneel down to apologize and quickly withdraw, I can mediate for you in front of the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Monarch. Otherwise, the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Monarch has already taken notice of you, and when he hands down heavenly punishment in the future, you will not be able to escape your doom."
Xuan Ye's tone was ice-cold.
"Brutally murdered enforcement disciples? What evidence do you have?" Fang Han's expression remained unchanged.
He had indeed killed many enforcement disciples of the Heavenly Court's divine prison. In the ghostly martial holy monarch's tomb, he slew eight great Golden Immortal disciples in succession, and later outside the Xu Family, he assassinated Tu Gang and refined the Eight部 Pagoda.
However, all of this was pushed onto Impermanence, and no one could find any evidence.
As for killing a divine prison enforcement disciple during this genius battle, it was a life-and-death duel adhering to the rules, and no one could blame him.
"Evidence? If you do not want others to know, do not do it yourself," Xuan Ye said. "It was you who killed Impermanence and all the divine prison enforcement disciples in the Ghost Martial Holy Monarch's tomb, right? You seized their treasures and the Ghost Martial Holy Diagram, and then impersonated Impermanence to kill Tu Gang in Xu Province. I can calculate all of this. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? The fragmented map of the Ghost Martial Holy Monarch is in your hands, and you returned alone from his tomb. Do you know that disaster is imminent for you? Lord Thunder Emperor Heavenly Monarch will end his seclusion shortly. I will report this matter exactly as it is, and at that time, what awaits you is unimaginable agony. Do you understand?"
A trace of a smile appeared on Xuan Ye's face, a very sinister smile.
"You know a bit too much." Fang Han frowned.
"Hahaha!" Seeing Fang Han's appearance, Xuan Ye could not help but laugh. "As expected, I could not be absolutely certain of this matter, but now a simple bluff has brought it out. You are still a bit too green."
After speaking, he restrained his laughter and his tone turned icy: "You ambitious creature with a wolf's heart, harborering evil intentions to overthrow the rule of the Heavenly Court. I will lock you up, throw you into the divine prison cell, and let you overturn forever."
"Do you think such a small amount of words can unsettle my mind?" Fang Han also smiled. "Do you think I did not know you were bluffing me? The reason I admitted to it is because I have no misgivings whatsoever. The Heavenly Court's divine prison cannot do anything to me. I have a Heavenly Monarch as my backing behind me, as you have seen. What can the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Monarch do to me? Otherwise, I would not have purged the Yuhua Sect's Hua Family and wiped out all of Heavenly Monarch Hua's bloodline."
"What? You actually purged the Hua Family!" Xuan Ye was greatly shocked. "You, you are simply daring enough to swallow the sky, your dog-like audacity knows no bounds!"
"Speaking so much with you was just wasting saliva. Now you can die." Fang Han's face turned cold, his killing intent soaring to the heavens, and space congealed everywhere.
"Hmph! Who kills whom is not yet certain." Xuan Ye was already prepared. With a movement of his body, millions of streaks of lightning suddenly enveloped him. Amidst the thunderbolts, his entire person vanished without a trace, thoroughly disappearing. Following that, thousands of colossal cannons surged out from the lightning, firing and bombarding towards Fang Han.
"Immortal Ancient Thunder Cannon!"
"Ten Thousand Cannons Firing in Unison!"
"Thunder Shakes the Nine Heavens!"
Xuan Ye transformed into elusive thunder energy, encircling Fang Han to attack and slay him. As soon as he made a move, it carried the momentum of ten thousand jun of thunder, invincible wherever it went. It had simply reached an ultimate realm where winds and clouds shifted and ghosts and gods could not fathom it. Anyone seeing his thunder manipulation methods would believe he had thoroughly comprehended the profound mysteries of the Thunder Emperor Heavenly Monarch.
"A grain of rice also dares to shine?"
Fang Han took one step forward. The thunder attacking from all around his body settled down one by one, transforming into streaks of thunder dragons that entered his body. Myriad forms transform into dragons, myriad laws transform into dragons.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle, sizzle sizzle sizzle. A burst of lightning sounded, and all the thunder was swept clean by Fang Han, thoroughly absorbed.
Fang Han threw a punch into the air, piercing the firmament. With a popping sound, a person fell from space. It was none other than Xuan Ye, spitting blood, actually injured by the shock of a single punch.
Blegh!
He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staring dead at Fang Han: "You are formidable to this extent?"
"This is still only a small portion of my strength." Fang Han spoke coldly, pressing closer step by step. The musical notes beneath his feet seemed to demand his life, taking his life with every step.
"What I just displayed was also just a small portion of my strength! Open the seal, the Formation of Loss!" Swish!
Xuan Ye suddenly roared furiously. The clothes over his entire body exploded into fragments, revealing densely packed runes on his body, resembling the totem tattoos of the Barbarian Race.
But in the next moment, those runes ruptured, and fresh blood flowed out from them, all transforming into billowing burning flames. A supreme aura that only an Emperor possessed rose from within his body.
In the next moment, his imposing manner turned heaven and earth upside down, increasing by no less than fully ten times!
"Ah! This is the Formation of Loss, which he used to seal the power within his own body. He has actually cultivated to the Emperor realm and has been sealing his power all along, only opening it now."
"This Xuan Ye hid himself deeply. To think he cultivated to the Emperor realm long ago. A peerless genius, this is a true genius."
The crowd turned pale with fright.
They had never expected Xuan Ye to hide so deeply, still keeping the power within his body sealed at a time like this. Having fought to this point, if he had opened his seal to fight with full strength all along? Just what degree of ferocity would that be?
"Feng Yuan, your brilliance ends here." Having opened his seal, Xuan Ye's entire body was in a state of unbridled arrogance, his hair flying behind his head as he lorded over the world.
Even Fang Han's Myriad Forms Dragon Transformation Incantation was forced to surge backwards by him, fundamentally unable to erode his body.
"Pity, what a pity, Feng Yuan. Originally, I did not want to open my Formation of Loss seal, planning to fight to the very end. But since I encountered you, you forced me to open the seal, which is enough for you to be proud of." Right now, with his seal completely opened, Xuan Ye had steadily stepped into the Emperor realm. A cruel smile appeared on his face: "But rest assured, I will let you die without any pain."
Fang Han shook his head, looking at Xuan Ye whose aura was climbing steadily, and sighed: "Opening the seal is death, not opening it is also death. Did you think I did not know you had already advanced to the Emperor realm? You were just continuously sealing your power. In this world, there is nothing that can be hidden from me. Very well, I shall let you know what true power is!"
Boom!
The Minor Karma Technique flowed within the crystal divine kingdom covering Fang Han's body, and the Heavenly Zen Buddha Emperor's body awakened. However, it did not manifest outside Fang Han's body; instead, it suddenly scattered, transforming into numerous powerful runes that resided within every single crystal divine kingdom in Fang Han's body.
This was equivalent to the Heavenly Zen Buddha Emperor's Buddha body merging into one with Fang Han.
This was an absolute method of "Human and Buddha as One" that Fang Han had newly comprehended from studying Dao techniques. Buddha and I are one, great mercy and great compassion, the law of turning the great wheel. The Buddha's body is my body, the Buddha's form is my form.
The Heavenly Zen Buddha Emperor turned into talismans and dispersed into the crystal divine kingdom. With Buddha and Fang Han merging as one, Fang Han's realm expanded steadily in an instant. First reaching the realm of an Emperor Paragon Immortal, then with a bang, he broke through to the As Old as Heaven and Earth realm, a profound and supreme miraculous state.
"Buzz!"
Buddha sounds resounded, and the surrounding kingdoms all transformed into Buddha kingdoms.
At this very moment, Fang Han transformed into an immortal Buddha. The talisman of the World Honored Free King Buddha flew up, changing into a cluster of Buddha light floating behind his head. The six-syllable true words flickered incessantly, and between heaven and earth, all was billowing Buddha sounds. Those Buddha sounds turned into great seals, ancient and majestic.
"Be destroyed for me!"
Fang Han grabbed with his large hand. The Buddha sound completely surpassed the thunder, becoming the singular divine sound between heaven and earth. With a mere vibration, it smacked Xuan Ye down to the ground.
"No!"
Looking at the immortal Buddha incarnation of Fang Han in the sky, Xuan Ye roared continuously. "How can you possess such power? This is the power of being As Old as Heaven and Earth."
"Die!" Paying no heed to his roaring, Fang Han grabbed down again with his large hand. His five fingers acting like a mountain, taking advantage of the momentum to press down, forcefully pinning him down.
"No, I refuse to accept this. I will snatch my immortal glory and unperishing majesty back from the heavens. My divine prison is unmatched in the world, invincible across the globe." Xuan Ye let out a long cry. His body attempted to support Fang Han's palm and carry out a counterattack.
"Break!"
Buddha light shot fiercely from Fang Han's eyes. Millions of Wisdom Kings born from the wrath of Buddhas appeared behind him. The Buddha veins on his arm were like dragons of creation, brimming with power. As his arm vibrated, wave after wave of exploding mad tides were generated between heaven and earth.
His large hand pressed down once more.
"Ah!"
Finally, Xuan Ye could endure it no longer. His straight, standing body exploded inch by inch, his spine snapping. His entire person was pinned firmly to the ground by a single hand, his flesh and blood mangled, gradually turning into a mass of mangled flesh and mud.
The scene was extremely tragic.
Experiencing unprecedented terror, everyone present felt their scalps turn numb and their gazes turn sluggish. Some disciples with low cultivation broke out in goosebumps all over their bodies.
Xuan Ye, who had been awe-inspiring just a moment ago after advancing to the Emperor Paragon Immortal realm, was now flattened to the ground by a single palm, his flesh and blood turned to mud. This transformation was far too immense.
"Xuan Ye, since you have advanced to the Paragon Immortal Emperor realm, I will not hold back then! Although my Wings of Freedom have advanced to the state of a King Grade Immortal Weapon, there are still flaws, as there are too few Emperor laws. But you are quite a figure; you have an abundance of Emperor laws, far surpassing others. Then I will not be polite, be refined for me."
His large hand pressed dead onto Xuan Ye. A powerful Buddha fire burned down, causing the flesh-mud Xuan Ye to sizzle.
Miserable screams resounded once again: "Feng Yuan, even if I, Xuan Ye, turn into a malicious ghost, I will demand your life and make you suffer eternal damnation. I curse you; I curse that you will inevitably fall, inevitably lose your brilliance. You are steeped in heinous crimes and will die a terrible death! Lord Thunder Emperor Heavenly Monarch, avenge me! All enforcement elders and enforcement Emperors of the Heavenly Court's divine prison, avenge me. Swear to kill this beast. If this beast is not eliminated, the majesty of my Heavenly Court's divine prison will be completely swept away, let alone sweeping away the world!"
"Everyone spouts a bunch of nonsense right before they die." Fang Han increased the Buddha fire further. The miserable screams came to an abrupt halt, and Xuan Ye was thoroughly obliterated. The origin energy and laws were supplemented into the Wings of Freedom on his back.
A magic treasure pouch landed in Fang Han's hand.
