"Emperor Feather, you are so ruthless…"
A different dimensional space in the distant savage wilderness.
A full ten Emperor-level supreme immortals of the barbarian race, along with two powerful experts matching the "Equal to Heaven and Earth" level, were at this moment trapped by the Totem Can. Emperor Feather was forcibly refining them alive, using their laws to temper the Sword of the Sanctuary.
Because Emperor Feather had been slaughtering too fiercely recently, he finally alarmed some experts from the barbarian race and other worlds to deal with this elusive headmaster of the Ascension Sect.
Thus, an array encirclement team consisting of ten barbarian Emperor lords and two "Equal to Heaven and Earth" experts from other worlds appeared. They used the Ten Absolute God Array to trap Emperor Feather, but it was broken by Emperor Feather deploying an absolute killing move from the Belief Bible. Once the Totem Can was sacrificed into action, it instead trapped these experts and began counter-refining them.
Emperor Feather's aura all over his body was completely different from before. His body stood tall, his spine like a pillar of heaven supporting the firmament. One large hand held up the Totem Can, while the other held the Sword of the Sanctuary. With a casual stroke, streams of sword light shot out. These sword lights condensed without dispersing, actually transforming in the air into a phantom of an ancient sanctuary that grew increasingly clear, suppressing all directions of the universe and the fluctuating alien space-times that were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges.
"Ah!"
An Emperor let out a miserable shriek as he was refined by "Emperor Feather" and absorbed into the Totem Can, thoroughly turning into streams of savage divine laws that then fed back outward and entered Emperor Feather's body, making Emperor Feather's physique appear even much taller.
"Giggle, giggle, giggle…" The Sword of the Sanctuary also obtained a great deal of benefits and let out a happy laugh, acting very charming: "Emperor Feather, this Totem Can is indeed worthy of the quality of a Sacred Grade Immortal Artifact. If I carefully absorb like this, it is very possible that I will surpass that Spear of Judgment and become the number one King Grade Immortal Artifact."
"The Spear of Judgment is not so easily surpassed. It is no longer a magic treasure in the ordinary sense; it is an existence born from the power of the heaven and earth's judgment, an existence on par with Emperor Xi. If there is anyone else in this world who might cultivate to become a Heavenly Monarch, then it would be Emperor Xi and him."
Emperor Feather shook his head, then said: "Of course, my junior brother also has the possibility."
"What? You rate Fang Han so highly?" The Sword of the Sanctuary was surprised.
"Right now, the genius battle of the Heavenly Court should have reached the final few rounds. I wonder if my junior brother will be able to win the championship?" Emperor Feather did not answer, but faintly looked into the distance. Within his gaze, deep in the distant firmament, a brilliant ray of light suddenly soared into the sky, revealing the faint aura of a Heavenly Monarch.
At the same time, the silhouette of the Heavenly Court appeared before his eyes, along with the situation inside the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena.
"Jun Cangsheng… It is actually him acting as junior brother's opponent." Emperor Feather said in shock: "This is the reincarnation of a Heavenly Monarch."
"Which Heavenly Monarch's reincarnation is Jun Cangsheng?"
"I don't know. Fortunately, fortunately, junior brother has not yet entered the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena. I will now execute the supreme wondrous method of the totem and return the Totem Can to him. These past days, I don't know how many experts of foreign dimensions and supremes of the barbarian race I have killed. The Totem Can's cultivation has reached its peak, and it can exactly secure the final chance of victory for junior brother in one fell swoop."
Emperor Feather suddenly twirled the Totem Can in his hand. Buzz! The entire Totem Can vanished out of thin air, leaving no trace.
"What? Without the Totem Can, how do we deal with so many barbarian experts." The Sword of the Sanctuary said in alarm.
"I precisely intend to temper myself. These days, you have accumulated a lot of power. Fight side by side with me and digest these powers." Emperor Feather's expression was indifferent: "As junior brother has not entered the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena, the Totem Can is able to reach his hands. If he had entered inside it, then I would be powerless."
While speaking, he shook his sword and his entire person turned into a stream of light, shooting into the grand array.
"The pressure of the Totem Can is gone! Let's kill!" A barbarian Emperor had been struggling to hold on, but suddenly, the pressure vanished. He was overjoyed, and seeing that Emperor Feather no longer had the Totem Can in his hands, he was instantly elated. Just as he wildly roared to counterattack, a beam of sword light shot over, and his entire body was torn apart by the sharp sword energy…
At this moment, hearing the war drums, Fang Han stood up from the throne, yet he did not enter the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena. He seemed to be quietly waiting for something.
On the other side, Jun Cangsheng had already entered inside it, his gaze looking toward Fang Han.
This was a highly anticipated battle. Who won and who lost would signify who was the number one genius of the Heaven Realm, while simultaneously receiving abundant rewards, ensuring a bright future from then on.
At this time, tens of millions of experts from supreme major sects were looking at Fang Han and Jun Cangsheng. Many people watched Jun Cangsheng enter the arena, but Fang Han showed no nervousness. Everyone assumed Fang Han was hesitating and had second thoughts.
"Tch! This Feng Yuan was swearing a solemn oath at the beginning, saying he would slay Jun Cangsheng, but when the moment arrives, he is hesitating and dares not enter. Comparing their momentum, he has already fallen into a disadvantage, greatly disappointing me."
"You can't really put it that way. After all, this battle is no trivial matter. Being cautious is absolutely necessary. If we were in that Feng Yuan's position, we would definitely hesitate too."
"This is human nature. It is a pity that this is the genius battle. Everyone is a peerless genius, an existence of great talent and bold vision, not ordinary cultivators or immortals. Being so timid means he has ultimately fallen into a disadvantage. I don't favor Feng Yuan. It is highly likely he will be slain under Jun Cangsheng's sword."
"It is exactly like this. Jun Cangsheng is fearless, whereas Feng Yuan shrinks back right before the battle. Before even competing, a clear superiority and inferiority between the two has been established."
"The champion of this genius battle seems to be definitely Jun Cangsheng. Obtaining numerous rewards and engaging in bitter cultivation, I wonder if he can restore his past cultivation power, rule over the world once more, and reach the glory of a Heavenly Monarch?"
"Not necessarily. Even as the reincarnation of a Heavenly Monarch, cultivating back to become a Heavenly Monarch is not an easy task. Having lost a great serendipity, it might even be that he can never cultivate it again, making it even more difficult than for an ordinary person. Because the heavens gave him an opportunity once, enabling him to become a monarch of the heavens, yet he perished. Would the heavens really give you another chance to start over? Since ancient times, the reincarnated bodies of perished Heavenly Monarchs who manage to recultivate into Heavenly Monarchs have been extremely few in number."
"Extremely few does not mean zero."
"Whether Jun Cangsheng can become a Heavenly Monarch again is still unknown, but for this battle, he is bound to win. He will certainly obtain everything from this Feng Yuan."
"What if Feng Yuan chooses to quit?"
"If he chooses to quit, then this person's progress will stop right here. The higher the realm of cultivation one reaches, the firmer one's heart must be. If he had chosen to quit entirely at the beginning, it would have been fine, protecting himself wisely and keeping his confidence intact. But since he exchanged harsh words with Jun Cangsheng yet then chooses to quit, that is like being indecisive and wavering. What achievements can such a person possibly have? He will vanish into the crowd."
…
Several experts of supreme major sects were engaged in spirited discussions.
Some of the supreme Emperors and old antiques of the Heavenly Court also started discussing: "Emperor Xi, what is going on with this Feng Yuan? The war drums have already sounded three times, yet he remains stagnant? Should we disqualify him?"
"He has already lost his confidence. Even if he fights, it will just be going through the motions. A pity, what a pity. I originally thought it would be a life-and-death struggle, a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, but looking at it now, he has turned into a soft egg. It seems Feng Yuan is just someone with good luck; his mental fortitude is too poor."
"Emperor Xi, disqualify him."
"Wait, according to the rules, only after the war drums have sounded nine times and he has still not entered the arena will his qualifications be stripped, treating it as an automatic forfeiture. Everything will be handled according to the rules of the Heavenly Court." Emperor Xi's facial expression remained completely unchanged, as his eyes also watched Fang Han.
"Buzz!"
After the war drums had sounded for the fifth time, Fang Han, who had been unmoving all along, began to move. He stretched his muscles and bones, striding across the void, and entered the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena.
It turned out that just moments ago, suddenly, in the unseen dark, a supreme savage power arrived from the formless void and directly poured into his body. Immediately, he felt that within the deepest level of the crystal divine kingdoms inside his body, an extra vessel had appeared. The Totem Can.
Invincible power radiated from the Totem Can, spreading all over his body, permeating through his limbs and hundreds of bones. He could not even begin to calculate just how formidable the power of the Totem Can was at present.
"Senior brother is indeed senior brother, he did not disappoint me. At the last moment, he delivered the Totem Can to me. Over these past days of slaughtering on the outside, just how many barbarian experts has he killed for the power of the Totem Can to reach such a degree!"
As it turned out, the reason why Fang Han delayed entering the arena was to wait for the return of the Totem Can.
Emperor Feather slaughtered the barbarians, accumulating vitality for the Totem Can, waiting for the final moment to deliver it to Fang Han, establishing the final chance of victory.
The Totem Can had up to now undergone multiple transformations. When delivered by Emperor Feather, it was formless and traceless, undetectable by anyone. Only Fang Han felt the power within his body start expanding endlessly. He rapidly utilized his power of deduction to calculate the various structural powers of the Totem Can, binding them closely to himself.
Rumble!
With one step, he entered the inside of the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena.
At this time, the many kingdoms within the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena had all disappeared. The entire arena was completely empty, leaving behind only two people: Jun Cangsheng and Fang Han.
"Feng Yuan, I thought you would forfeit. I didn't expect you to ultimately make up your mind and enter the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena to face me." Jun Cangsheng looked at Fang Han, smiling: "It seems you have conquered your inner demons."
"Truly ignorant and foolish. You don't even know that I was waiting to accumulate final power, yet you assumed I was hesitating indecisively. It's simply a joke." Fang Han laughed coldly repeatedly. His palm drew a stroke in the air, and a secretive totem appeared.
This totem was the civilization of the barbarian race. As soon as it manifested, countless barbarian experts surged within it, and faces full of tattoos, ferocious and terrifying, morphed around. The entire environment within the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena changed in an instant, with a savage aura rushing to the face, as if entering the ancient savage era.
"Savage divine laws?" Jun Cangsheng's expression shifted slightly. "So just now, you were waiting for the return of the Totem Can. Good calculation, good scheme. You handed the Totem Can over to Emperor Feather to perform slaughter and accumulate power, then waited until the last moment for it to return."
"Correct, as expected of a Heavenly Monarch's reincarnation." Fang Han kept his face blank.
"Haha! This is for the best, this is for the best. I originally thought you were bound to lose. Who would have thought a variable would appear in this matter, making it even more worth looking forward to. However, I still have complete certainty that I will slay you."
Jun Cangsheng's tone became excited, his battle intent surging immensely.
