Eternal-Life

One Finger of the Heavenly Monarch (Part 1)

Fang Han finally caught the opportunity as the united army of the God Clan, Barbarian Clan, and otherworldly realms attacked the Heavenly Court.

If the situation was chaotic, he could seize the opportunity to reap great benefits. As for the safety of the Heavenly Court, it had nothing to do with him. It would be better if this Heavenly Court was destroyed; losing a major threat, he could completely take the people of the Yuhua Sect and flee. The Heaven Realm was so large, there were places to take shelter everywhere.

Moreover, the shattering of the Heavenly Court, accompanied by the rise of various heroes and the mixing of dragons and snakes, was more suitable for his cultivation. Slaying enemies to illuminate the Great Dao, seizing creation to reverse heavenly fate, there was nothing he would not do.

Black clouds rolled in the sky. Fang Han looked up and discovered that within those black clouds were countless alternate dimensions, hidden worlds, and the depths of distant kingdoms. Everywhere there were great immortal arts blazing like fireworks from explosions, rising and falling one after another, as the dense army executed spatial jumps and teleportation techniques. Swish, swish, swish… They descended into the space not far from the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court stood towering above the firmament. The surrounding environment was harsh, filled with astral winds, heavenly fires, heavenly thunders, and lightning, with various space-time tunnels standing like forests. Even a Golden Immortal could not fly up here. However, this massive army of the otherworldly Barbarian Clan and God Clan linked together as one. Within it, countless Saints, Supreme Immortal Emperors, and even tyrannical figures from ancient times, living fossils born at the beginning of the world, jointly mobilized their magic power to sweep through space. Instantly, the environment around the Heavenly Court changed. Black clouds permeated the air, gloomy winds and evil auras pressed down from all directions, the heavens trembled, and the Heavenly Court seemed to be on the verge of annihilation.

At this time, the restrictive formations of the Heavenly Court showed their efficacy. Divine light shot out from above, piercing through billions of miles, radiant and brilliant; no black cloud could cover it.

"Buzz!"

It was unknown who activated the counterattack restrictive formations above the Heavenly Court. Countless sword lights formed rivers of sword energy, slaughtering outward. Flying swords numbering like the grains of sand in billions of Ganges rivers rose from a treasure vault, passing directly through the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations and slaughtering their way into the black clouds.

"Ah!"

Immediately, countless screams of agony transmitted from within the black clouds. Fang Han saw an unknown number of otherworldly powerhouses and the armies of the Barbarian Clan and God Clan being slain by a single sword strike. Their essence energy and laws were all plundered, making the glow of the sword energy even more dazzling and blinding.

"The Sword Emperor has made his move! Activating his sword world, the vault of swords, it is indeed sharp. Truly worthy of being an old antique who has cultivated for hundreds of millions of years." The Spear of Vengeance smiled coldly: "Masters, let us not show weakness. Take your positions and strike! Begin the counterattack and slay these invading enemies. The Heavenly Court has not had such a large-scale battle in a long time. By slaying numerous otherworldly God Clan powerhouses, we can also borrow their power to temper our bodies and achieve breakthroughs in battle."

"Alright, everyone take your positions!"

Swish, swish, swish, many assembled Emperors vanished in an instant.

"Under the command of my Spear of Vengeance, all Grand Commanders, Commanders, Battalion Leaders… all of you take your positions, set up the battle formations, mobilize the war fortresses, and listen to my orders!" The will of the Spear of Vengeance spread across all directions of the nine provinces in an instant, rolling through the endless punitive army of the Heavenly Court.

"Feng Yuan, your current strength is absolutely enough to contend with me. Why don't the two of us join forces, charge outside the Heavenly Court, and compete with the powerhouses of the otherworldly realms, the God Clan, and the Barbarian Clan? I have gained some breakthroughs from comprehending the soul brand of the Gate of Eternal Life, and it happens to be a good time to test my skills on these enemies. What do you say!"

The Spear of Vengeance was filled with great ambition.

"I have no objections, but what if we encounter a Heavenly Monarch level expert? If they blast down with a single thought, I'm afraid we would find it hard to resist." Fang Han frowned slightly.

"Hmph! Emperor Xi and the Spear of Judgment were both able to escape under the pursuit of a Heavenly Monarch. Could it be that I cannot? Moreover, charging out like this is much easier than escaping from a Heavenly Monarch's hands. As long as a Heavenly Monarch's strike fails to kill you, you can escape into the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations. This is the kind of battle that truly tempers a person's will, pulling chestnuts from the fire, dancing on the tip of a blade. If a Heavenly Monarch can kill you in one strike, then you do not have the qualifications to aspire to the path of the Great Dao." A trace of madness appeared on the face of the Spear of Vengeance.

Fang Han was also somewhat moved.

He had never even thought about crossing blows with a Heavenly Monarch.

Because the terror of a Heavenly Monarch meant they were fundamentally not the same form of life as an immortal. With a random flick of a finger, they could destroy a supreme sect, or even directly wipe flat one of the hundred thousand major terrestrial regions of the Heaven Realm. With a random roar, the great sun in the sky would tremble. With a random tear, countless spaces would shatter, and countless worlds would be born. Even the heavens had to submit beneath their feet.

Fang Han knew that regarding his current strength, although it was advancing by leaps and bounds, it was still far from enough when facing a Heavenly Monarch. Separated by distant space and time, the other party's random sneeze could put him in danger of bodily death and Dao dissipation. The gap was extraordinarily large. Unless he advanced to the realm of a Lifespan Equal to Heaven and Earth, only then would he have a tiny chance to resist.

But now, with the restrictive formations of the Heavenly Court present, he could indeed give it a try and dance on the tip of a blade.

This was an opportunity for tempering.

"Bang!"

Just as Fang Han was moving his heart, suddenly, from the depths of that pitch-black distant space and time, a terrifying aura that almost covered the ancient era came across the void.

Fang Han saw a massive finger; it was not a physical entity, but one gathered from Dao arts. It was longer than the silver river in the sky, and the fingerprints on that finger seemed like heavenly chasms and great ravines.

"Pop!"

With a loud bang, that finger flicked onto the turtle shell restrictive formation above the Heavenly Court, emitting a sound that made people's hearts feel like they were going to explode. The entire space of the Heavenly Court was beaten to the point of shaking.

All of Fang Han's will boiled up.

What kind of fierce attack was this?

All of Fang Han's divine thoughts began to calculate, and he vaguely saw that in the depths of that pitch-black distant space and time stood a tall, stalwart figure. Covered in tattoos, it seemed to be of the Barbarian Clan. That aura surpassed all Emperors; even the Spear of Vengeance, the Spear of Judgment, and Emperor Xi could not compare to a ten-thousandth of it.

Without a doubt, that was a Heavenly Monarch of the Barbarian Clan, a peerless monarch!

What just occurred was a single flick of his finger. Separated by layers of worlds, an easy flick of a finger released a power that beat the Heavenly Court into shaking. If the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations had not been formidable, this flick of a finger across space would have reduced an unknown number of Emperors to ashes.

"Formidable! Formidable! This is the true might of a Heavenly Monarch. I have finally seen it up close. If this finger struck my body, I wonder if I would die? I really want to try. Now, fighting with ordinary experts can no longer give me a breakthrough. Only by fighting with such a supreme Heavenly Monarch can I ultimately perfect the Dao of my epoch…"

Watching this finger, Fang Han's blood boiled with excitement.

"Did you see that? That flick across space just now was shot out by the Heavenly Monarch of the Barbarian Clan, Heavenly Monarch Miao Li. This person is an existence who obtained a great opportunity and also achieved the supreme Heavenly Monarch karma fruit status within this chaos epoch, even before Heavenly Monarch Battle King Mu Yehuang. This person has not passed through the great tribulation of the world's destruction, so compared to our Heavenly Court's Disaster, Eternal, Slaughter, and Chaos, he is much inferior. Last time it was also this person who attacked our Heavenly Court, and was injured by Heavenly Monarch Disaster who moved his intent and unleashed Salvation. To think that he has recovered from his injuries so quickly. If this person makes a move to kill me, I can escape the first strike and use his power to temper my body."

The Spear of Vengeance spoke proudly, extremely boastful of being able to escape the first strike.

To be able to make a Heavenly Monarch act and not be killed in the first strike was indeed something to flaunt and establish a supreme prestige unshakeable for ten thousand generations.

"Good! Spear of Vengeance, we shall join forces and charge out. Even if it attracts a strike from a Heavenly Monarch, I want to see just how formidable it really is." Fang Han's body soared into the sky.

The Spear of Vengeance nodded and also flew up.

With a swish, the two of them became formless and invisible, charging out of the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations to the outside. At this very moment, Fang Han also saw many supreme tyrannical figures of the Heavenly Court charging out of the restrictive formations as well.

Fang Han saw the Sword Emperor who had just made his move, carrying the power of ten thousand sweeping swords to cleanse the universe, directly charging into an alternate dimension to roam and slaughter.

This Sword Emperor's sword arts were probably capable of rivaling Jun Cangsheng's, and he had refined an unknown number of flying swords to form a sword world. Such slaughtering power was rare in the world.

As soon as Fang Han rushed out of the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations, his entire body immediately shook. He was almost plunged into an uncontrollable raging airflow; there had never been a moment where the spatial tremors were this severe.

Countless powers of the Barbarian Clan, divine powers, and twisting powers of otherworldly experts had laid down formations as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River outside the Heavenly Court. Even an ordinary Emperor flying into it would almost be unable to move and would be strangled by the formations, let alone cast magic arts.

But an expert like Fang Han was not afraid in the slightest.

With a slight circulation of the magic power in his body, he neutralized the twisting forces of those grand formations. With a slight flap of the Wings of Freedom, the might of the King Grade Immortal Artifact was displayed. Amidst his shuttling, his entire person roamed toward the places with powerful auras.

Swish!

Ahead appeared the densely packed army of the Barbarian Clan.

One Barbarian Clan army master after another lined up in grand arrays. Hundreds of billions of Barbarian Clan warriors, Mystic Immortals, Half-step Golden Immortals, Golden Immortals, Ancestral Immortals, and Origin Immortals, led by army masters equivalent to Saints, activated the formations, rallied heaven and earth essence energy, and attacked and wore down the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations.

Deeper within, there were Barbarian Clan powerhouses at the level of Emperor and Supreme Immortal, and even Barbarian Clan figures born at the dawn of the ancient era, existences equivalent to the level of Emperor Xi.

But to Fang Han, these were supreme tonics.

Without a second thought, he deployed the Totem Jar. Opening his mouth and spouting out a breath, this giant jar expanded, becoming as large as an ancient mountain peak. Hovering in the air, the jar's mouth aimed at the Barbarian Clan army master Saint grand arrays one after another, and even shrouded some Barbarian Clan Grand Monarch level Emperors dwelling deep in the void.

As Fang Han operated this Totem Jar, his mind was already tightly connected with the core formations inside it, making them indistinguishable from one another. In the crystal divine kingdoms throughout his body, barbaric desolate divine rules composed of barbarian god blind insects that looked like dragons but were not dragons suddenly appeared. These were divine rules, the rules of gods, that could only be possessed when the mental cultivation methods of the Barbarian Clan were operated to the extreme.

"Buzz!"

The massive Totem Jar vibrated endlessly, shooting out a stream of barbaric desolate ancient energy from within, infinitely thick and traversing the void.

Wherever this stream of barbaric desolate ancient energy swept, the Barbarian Clan armies there vanished into nothingness, and one Barbarian Clan Saint after another completely evaporated from the world!
