"Jun Cangsheng, you probably could never imagine even in your dreams that all of your sword energy has been absorbed by me. During the time you were bombarding the Totem Can, those sword energies were tempering my physique on my behalf. If it weren't for you, my Dao of Epochs would not have advanced to such a realm right now. I must thank you for your bombardment."
Fang Han's form suddenly dispersed and then transformed back into his human figure. The Totem Can manifested and exerted a fierce suction. Across the entire arena, all the shattered fragments of sword energy entered into his body.
His civilization of the Sword Dao advanced once again. Small characters shaped like swords flew out, unexpectedly being something never seen before.
Because these characters were not immortal text, nor divine text, much less Buddhist text. Such writing had never appeared before. This was "sword text," newly created by Fang Han. A civilization must possess its own unique writing system.
The chapter of the civilization of the Sword Dao advanced to the pinnacle, finally condensing its own unique "sword text" and "sword characters." They were unfathomably profound, equivalent to the ancient great sages creating writing.
This was a kind of merit, a great and monumental achievement. A unique civilization of the Sword Dao, after Fang Han absorbed Jun Cangsheng's sword energy, reached the peak, the pinnacle of glory.
At this moment, Fang Han's realm entered an indescribable transformation. He seemed to become the creator of a civilization, a figure who shook the primordial era, like a divine body standing within the epoch of chaos, coexisting with the various saints and great sages.
He made a grab with his large hand, and the chapter of the Sword Dao civilizational history spread out. Although the shape of each sword text character had never been seen by anyone before, as long as one was an individual with great divine abilities, a slight glance would allow them to understand the chilling intent within. In this chapter of civilizational history, the sword texts and sword characters were as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and every single sword text and sword character was an absolute sword technique.
If, right now, any single sword text or sword character from this Book of Epochs descended down into the secular world, it could forge a peerless sword immortal. Even if it descended somewhere in the Heaven Realm, it could allow an immortal to encounter a great serendipity, continuously advancing thereafter, making becoming an Emperor absolutely not a problem.
These sword characters and sword texts, this chapter of the Sword Dao, were things that surpassed the realm of immortals. Forged by borrowing Jun Cangsheng's sword of Heavenly Sovereign comprehension and the Supreme Sword of the World of Laws, the divine might-like sword intent was fundamentally not something humans could match.
"Sword text, sword characters! It is actually sword text and sword characters. You have actually condensed this kind of thing! Creating the writing of the civilization of the Sword Dao!" Seeing Fang Han in this state, Jun Cangsheng roared furiously: "I have comprehended for so long, and with my Heavenly Monarch memories not yet awakened, I was unable to condense sword text and sword characters, yet it went to your advantage. You thief, stealing the essence of my Sword Dao to accomplish your own success. This is not your own cultivation; you will surely suffer the condemnation of heaven."
"The condemnation of heaven? What a joke. The divine arts of heaven and earth belong to those with virtue. Your virtue is insufficient, and you are unable to comprehend it. This is your own problem, yet you come to envy me? Now you have nothing left to say, right? For the rest of the battle, just properly enjoy my civilization of the Sword Dao. Oh right, I have also borrowed your power to comprehend the core essence of the Totem Can's Sacred Grade Immortal Artifact. Your time of death has also arrived. Your Heavenly Monarch intent will ultimately facilitate me, paving the way for me to step into the realm of a supreme Heavenly Monarch!"
Fang Han grabbed with his large hand, and the chapter of the civilization of the Sword Dao bombarded toward Jun Cangsheng. At the same time, true mantras rang out, every word striking at the heart: "Jun Cangsheng, it is true that your past life was a Heavenly Monarch, but the heavens gave you the opportunity to advance to a monarch of the heavens, yet you perished on your own. This is your loss. When heaven gives and you do not take, you instead incur its blame, do you understand? For you to cultivate into a Heavenly Monarch a second time is difficult, or perhaps already entirely hopeless."
"Die!"
Hearing these words, Jun Cangsheng's expression finally changed. Fang Han's words struck squarely at the shadow in his heart. He also knew that right now, as his Heavenly Monarch intent was continuously awakening, he would become increasingly tyrannical, but to return to the karmic status of a Heavenly Monarch might not be so easy.
What is lost is incomparably difficult to take back again.
"By slaying you and obtaining your destiny, I will be able to take it back." Jun Cangsheng roared. Another sword appeared in his hand, unexpectedly even more condensed, even larger, and with a fiercer momentum than the one just now, slashing and killing toward Fang Han.
"Tear everything apart, cleave everything asunder, the instant kill of myriad things. Feng Yuan, you have enraged me, entirely enraged me. What you must do now is endure my wrath."
The Supreme Law of the World of Laws all over Jun Cangsheng's body was withdrawn into his body. He now knew that this "Supreme Law of the World of Laws" could no longer suppress Fang Han. He simply withdrew it into his body, no longer wasting power, and wholeheartedly condensed the Sword Dao to carry out the act of extermination.
Sizzle!
Sword light flickered, space ruptured and turned into sword芒 roaming everywhere. Jun Cangsheng suddenly fully executed his swordsmanship, and it was indeed no trivial matter. At this moment, many people outside the arena felt the heaven-shaking sword energy almost transmitting out from the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena. Everyone feeling that sword intent knew that if they were placed within it, they would probably be torn to shreds in the blink of an eye, leaving not even a corpse behind.
But Fang Han handled it with ease.
He drove the Sword Dao civilizational history, merging his entire person and the Totem Can into one. Countless sword texts and sword characters condensed into the Divine Sword of Epochs, clashing in swordsmanship against Jun Cangsheng. With every collision, the crowd could see that a portion of the aftershocks of the sword energy was absorbed by the Sword Dao civilizational history. The sword characters and sword texts grew larger and more densely packed.
No matter how fierce Jun Cangsheng's attacks were, they were neutralized one by one by Fang Han, who also absorbed quite a bit of power from Jun Cangsheng's body.
Under this shifting balance, Jun Cangsheng's sword energy grew increasingly weaker, while Fang Han's sword energy grew increasingly tyrannical.
A chapter of the Sword Dao civilizational history filled the sky and covered the earth, shrouding all directions. Wherever it reached, that place transformed into a kingdom of swords. Fang Han was the very first sword born in the entire universe, transcending space and time.
"Clang!"
The sword in Jun Cangsheng's hand fractured again, and all the fragments were absorbed once more.
"My swords are endless. For every time one is destroyed, my sword will ascend to a higher level! The Sword of Myriad Tribulations, only by experiencing myriad tribulations can one become a Heavenly Monarch. By absorbing my sword energy, you are merely helping me temper my sword intent to endure the tribulation."
As the sword energy shattered, an even thicker longsword condensed once again in Jun Cangsheng's hand.
"However many swords there are, I will destroy that many of yours."
Stepping with the Divine Steps of Epochs, Fang Han brandished the Sword Dao civilizational history, battering this sword until it was covered in cracks everywhere, the fissured marks startling to the eyes.
"The situation has reversed…"
Emperor Xi let out a long sigh: "This Feng Yuan will probably achieve the final victory."
"What? Right now the outcome is at a white-hot stage, how can you say Feng Yuan will achieve the final victory?" Emperor Fate said in shock: "That Jun Cangsheng's swordsmanship is growing sharper. He might genuinely, as he said, undergo myriad tribulations and be reborn from the ashes."
"This is merely an arrow at the end of its flight."
Emperor Xi's gaze was firmly fixed on the arena, as if he was calculating something.
"Clang!"
Jun Cangsheng's sword was once again shattered by Fang Han, and that longsword was absorbed. Fang Han's Epoch Sword Dao civilizational history had completely occupied almost the entire center of the inside of the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena, tightly enveloping Jun Cangsheng.
Everyone could see that Fang Han had suddenly reversed the situation and now held the upper hand.
"The World of Laws opens wide, the Dharma wheel turns eternally, magic power is boundless, the Gate of Laws opens wide!"
Suddenly, Jun Cangsheng's swords no longer spawned. He continuously chanted a sixteen-character true mantra. Behind his back, a massive, faintly discernible doorway appeared.
As soon as this doorway appeared, it unexpectedly caused the Sword Dao civilizational history, the sword characters, and the sword texts to seem as though they were being suppressed, actually becoming unable to move. Fang Han's form also seemed to solidify in the air.
"What is this? That doorway?"
A great many people became shocked. No one had expected that Jun Cangsheng actually still had an invincible killer move at the very end.
"Feng Yuan, you are very good! Extremely good, to force me into deploying the 'Gate of Laws'. Once the Gate of Laws manifests, myriad laws return to the origin. This is my ultimate method, enjoy it thoroughly!"
The massive "Gate of Laws" grew increasingly clear.
That "Gate of Laws" stood three thousand fathoms tall. The inside was deeply profound and dark, and it was unknown what things were within. Carved upon the Gate of Laws were an unknown number of tyrannical figures preaching daos and imparting arts, as well as various unknown divine abilities circulating upon it. It was the source of myriad laws, the origin of all magic power and divine abilities.
"This is… the Gate of Laws! According to rumors, when the Gate of Laws manifests, myriad laws return to the origin. When the Gate of Laws condenses, there is no law that can break it."
At this moment, Emperor Xi was also startled. He had not expected that Jun Cangsheng would actually execute the Gate of Laws at this time. The Gate of Laws was not a magic treasure, but a supreme realm. Rumor had it that by cultivating the Supreme Law of the World of Laws to the highest realm, infinitely close to a Heavenly Monarch, the Gate of Laws would be produced.
This was an anomaly produced after the cultivation of magic arts reached the highest realm. Rumor had it that only true prodigies blessed by heaven could comprehend this realm and condense the Gate of Laws.
Once the Gate of Laws appeared, it practically meant invincibility in magic arts.
"Buzz!"
The Gate of Laws appeared, and myriad laws returned to the origin.
Fang Han's body became sluggish. All the sword texts and sword characters frantically surged into the Gate of Laws, and even his body was being pulled by the Gate of Laws to the point where it almost began to shift.
"Unmoving!"
Fang Han let out a loud roar, suppressing his own body like a pillar of heaven.
Jun Cangsheng smiled viciously: "Feng Yuan, boy, my Gate of Laws is the essence of my lifelong magic arts. However, if it weren't for you pressing so tightly, I would fundamentally be unable to awaken the memories of this portion of the Gate of Laws. It is actually you whom I rely upon to facilitate me. Once the Gate of Laws emerges, your struggles are of no use. There is only a single outcome for you, and that is to obediently be refined by me."
Fang Han did not answer. His treasured appearance was solemn, his entire body striving with all its might to resist the pulling of the Gate of Laws.
However, his body still could not be suppressed. He was pulled up inch by inch by the Gate of Laws, suspended in the air, and was about to enter the Gate of Laws.
"It's useless, resisting is also useless. Your fate is already destined. The Heavenly Monarch reincarnated me is not something you can contend against." Jun Cangsheng laughed heartily: "Your outcome was already clear from the very beginning, but what I didn't expect was that your potential was this immense. At the last juncture, you were actually able to force me to execute the Gate of Laws; you can be entirely proud."
Rumble!
Essence blood shot out from between Jun Cangsheng's ten fingers. The power of that Gate of Laws fully magnified tenfold, astonishingly swallowing all the space in the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena in one fell swoop, swallowing Fang Han inside as well.
