Eternal-Life

Encountering a Siege

"Then we will wait for the Seven Great Ancient Divine Emperors to chop open the Heavenly Court in one fell swoop, breaking the Heavenly Court's peerless majesty of billions of years. The era of the Good Fortune Immortal King has passed, and it is time for the Heaven Realm to change its master."

Heavenly Monarch Miao Li spoke quietly, and a ripple of intent spread out, seemingly notifying the other Heavenly Monarchs of the Barbarian Clan and the otherworldly Heavenly Monarchs.

In this attack on the Heavenly Court by the God Clan, Barbarian Clan, and otherworldly realms, they were not united as one but were scheming against each other. The God Clan wanted the Barbarian Clan and the otherworldly realms to serve as cannon fodder, while the otherworldly realms and the Barbarian Clan hoped the God Clan would deploy the great axe of the Progenitor Holy King to chop open the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations were left behind by the Good Fortune Immortal King and possessed supreme might; a Heavenly Monarch fundamentally could not break them. Even if all the Heavenly Monarchs gathered together, they could not shake them in the slightest. This was the might of the Immortal King, the great divine ability of the ancient venerable of Good Fortune, truly invincible in the world and impregnable.

"The Heavenly Court's restrictive formations will definitely be broken. If the Heavenly Court is eradicated, then the future will enter an era of dragons and snakes rising together, contending for hegemony over heaven and earth."

Heavenly Consort Umo's voice gradually vanished.

Heavenly Monarch Miao Li's tall figure remained motionless, seeming to have fallen into silence, and he no longer made a move. Although many experts continuously rushed out from the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations to resist the Barbarian Clan, he did not strike to kill the Ancient Emperor experts of the Heavenly Court, seemingly waiting for something.

With the majesty of a Heavenly Monarch, he had supreme self-respect and would not easily take action against lower-level existences. Those who were not Heavenly Monarchs were all ants; after the great destruction of heaven and earth, they would all be completely annihilated, turning into pure primordial chaos essence energy. Their life brands would be lost in the long river of history, unable to survive.

All these cycles of life and death were just a game, holding little meaning for a Heavenly Monarch. Of course, within the Barbarian Clan and otherworldly realms, there were also many experts of the Ancient Emperor level. Some Heavenly Court experts made their moves, towering Ancient Emperors of the God Clan appeared, and even invincible Holy Demons among the ancient Heavenly Demons who fought in ancient times also emerged.

Testing their edges against the numerous Ancient Emperors of the Heavenly Court, they were in an evenly matched state.

Every moment, a massive number of powerhouses perished, and fresh blood dyed countless alternate dimensions red. A single drop of a Saint's blood could turn into an ocean, and a casual strike from any Ancient Emperor could kill a Saint. It was evident just how many powerhouses were lost in this battle; countless to the point they could not be numbered.

However, such a vast war was the best opportunity to temper people. Those with small destiny and weak strength would naturally be eliminated, while those with tyrannical strength would survive, absorb many laws, and grow rapidly. Therefore, the Heavenly Monarchs would not intervene to stop it. This was equivalent to raising Gu poisonous insects; the formidable ones would survive to become kings, and the weak ones would naturally be devoured.

This war was a tempering trial for the Heavenly Court, the God Clan, the Barbarian Clan, and the otherworldly realms.

Heavenly Monarchs would not easily interfere. Only when the tide of battle reversed would a Heavenly Monarch take action.

Putting aside what Heavenly Monarch Miao Li was thinking, Fang Han, sitting upright in a grand hall in a corner of the Heavenly Court, was in a state of completely refining High Priest Black Wood. The Blood-Stained Garment on his body flickered as laws pervaded the air, wrapping him into a sphere. The individual threads of hemp on that Blood-Stained Garment were not true hemp, but a supreme Dao pattern divine rule of the great trend of heaven and earth, threads condensed from barbaric desolate ancient auras, possessing a holy aura.

The laws within High Priest Black Wood's body began to melt completely and enter his physique. His crystal divine kingdoms were about to recover to their peak state, and even increase somewhat. His accumulation was growing ever more profound, almost reaching the point where he could trigger the great tribulation of heaven and earth at any time and any place, passing the trial of a Lifespan Equal to Heaven and Earth to become a Half-step Heavenly Monarch.

However, he knew that the "Half-step Heavenly Monarch" realm of a Lifespan Equal to Heaven and Earth was no small matter. Once he stepped into it, he had to truly merge with the intent of heaven and earth, sharing in its glory and its loss. If heaven and earth were destroyed, he would also be destroyed, unless he stepped into the position of a Heavenly Monarch.

Moreover, during the advancement process, a person's intent had to completely entrust itself into heaven and earth. The tribulation triggered at that time would be no small matter. Especially for him, it was highly likely that a Heavenly Monarch's great tribulation would descend. He calculated slightly and found he didn't have absolute certainty, because if he passed such a great tribulation, his essence energy would be severely damaged. There were many enemies in the Heavenly Court; if he became weak and was killed and refined by the Spear of Judgment, Emperor Xi, or even Emperor Ning and others taking action, then it would be too late for regrets.

"Lifespan Equal to Heaven and Earth, temporarily conceal it. All powers, return to the origin and become one…" Fang Han slowly absorbed, and the last stream of laws almost entirely integrated into his crystal divine kingdoms, with another portion of the power repairing the Blood-Stained Garment. Now, he was almost even more tyrannical than just a moment ago. In particular, the finger flick energy of the Heavenly Monarch was gradually melting, turning into his own power and martial arts will.

The Book of Epochs had encountered the Heavenly Monarch's finger. Although many civilization histories were destroyed, during this process of refinement, it became solid once again. A portion of the Heavenly Monarch's finger energy permeated into it, actually causing many civilization histories to inexplicably advance.

A Heavenly Monarch's finger was a great attainment martial art of heaven and earth, containing numerous civilizations, or rather, in front of a Heavenly Monarch, numerous civilizations held no secrets.

Precisely because of this, after this finger was broken down, it could also turn into the progenitor of numerous civilizations. Any Heavenly Monarch could create a brilliant and resplendent civilization.

Swish!

A sword birthed from nothingness, splitting open the void, incomparably glorious, dazzling and brilliant. Carrying the final deathly terminal lucidity, it unexpectedly held a hint of the twilight of the gods.

A sword tore apart the ancient era, descending right above Fang Han's head, beginning to destroy his protective Kingdom of Dragons. The Great Desolate Dragon Gods transformed within the Eight Divisions Pagoda roared continuously, extremely furious.

Someone was actually launching a sneak attack on Fang Han.

And conducting a sneak attack right within the Heavenly Court. This was not the God Clan, Barbarian Clan, otherworldly realms, nor the ancient Heavenly Demons, but someone from the Heavenly Court itself, otherwise it would be impossible for them to appear in the Heavenly Court.

"Who!"

Fang Han abruptly awakened. Flipping the Staff of Legend in his palm, he swung it out, executing a staff technique. Volumes of legendary poems appeared at the head of the scepter, writing in midair. He seemed like a Saint of calligraphy and painting, moving like flowing water in the air, every stroke and slash like a divine dragon waving its tail, brimming with spirituality. This was an ethereal martial art.

The spatial trajectory struck out by the Staff of Legend immediately intertwined with the sword light, colliding mutually and bursting forth with streaks of glorious light. That sword technique grew increasingly dense, like a violent storm, an attack that would never cease.

However, Fang Han remained understated from beginning to end. With a slight shake, he shed the sword energy.

"Blade of Radiance… an ancient King Grade Immortal Artifact." In the split second of the exchange, Fang Han recognized it. This longsword was the Blade of Radiance that originally belonged to him. He didn't know whose hands it had fallen into, and now they were taking advantage of his cultivation session to instead come out for a sneak attack and kill him.

"Jun Cangsheng, I know it is you. You swallowed the Saint Grade Immortal Pill that originally should have belonged to me, and even took away my Blade of Radiance… Now you are still trying to kill me while I am in a state of crisis. How vicious you are, disregarding the grand scheme entirely. Come out!" Fang Han suddenly pointed the Staff of Legend, sending the Distant Legend out. A pocket of space exploded, revealing a silhouette within. It was precisely the Heavenly Monarch reincarnation, Jun Cangsheng.

The current Jun Cangsheng was much more tyrannical than in the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena. His Heavenly Monarch primal spirit had awakened, his black hair fluttering in the wind. A demonic god walking in the human world, holding the Blade of Radiance; wherever he went, people would have to prostrate themselves in worship to his glory.

His supreme law of the Dharma Realm had almost reached the pinnacle of perfection, flawless and smooth…

"Feng Yuan, today is the date of your death. You defeated me, you actually cheated in the Heaven and Earth Battle Arena to defeat me. But you absolutely never expected that Lord Spear of Judgment would look upon you with disfavor, and instead gave the Blade of Radiance and the Saint Grade Immortal Pill, the Pill of the Kings of the Heavens, to me, letting me cultivate in the Heaven Vein, and then enter the Book Realm to view the variations of the Martial Scriptures of All Emperors. Right now, you are no match for me. My Heavenly Monarch primal spirit has half awakened! Do you know how terrifying that is?"

Jun Cangsheng pointed his sword at Fang Han, his hatred overwhelming the heavens; pouring out the waters of the Heavenly River would not be able to wash it away.

"Your Heavenly Monarch primal spirit has half awakened?" Fang Han smiled faintly: "Is that so? However, I just slew an Ancient Emperor of the Barbarian Clan, High Priest Black Wood, and suffered an attack from a Heavenly Monarch, yet even a Heavenly Monarch couldn't kill me. Can you? You are now disregarding the rules to kill me, engaging in internal strife, what kind of behavior is this?"

"Feng Yuan, I admit you are formidable, but if Jun Cangsheng can't kill you, with me added in, there is certainty." A tall man walked out, wearing a yellow robe embroidered with giant snakes, black elephants, and single horns. This man's entire body was bathed in an aura of disaster, seemingly an incarnation of calamity. His appearance was middle-aged, unparalleled in majesty, looking like a certain ancient Great Emperor.

The Supreme Sect Master of the Taiyi Sect, Emperor Calamity.

"Emperor Calamity!"

The pupils in Fang Han's eyes shrank. This Emperor Calamity was a tyrannical figure equivalent to Emperor Xu and Emperor Qi, and perhaps even more unfathomable. Having held power over the Taiyi Sect for a hundred million years, grasping great authority, his cultivation was invincible.

"Right now the Heavenly Court is besieged, but they are all just ants. They fundamentally cannot break the Heavenly Court's restrictive formations. How could the restrictive formations left behind by the Good Fortune Immortal King be destroyed so easily?" Emperor Calamity stood shoulder to shoulder with Jun Cangsheng, sweeping a cold glance: "You speak of disregarding the grand scheme, but our actions are precisely doing that. To pacify the outside, one must first stabilize the inside. You are a spy from a foreign race, Lord Spear of Judgment saw through you long ago, and you are clear about that in your own heart, so you must be killed."

"Emperor Calamity, this Jun Cangsheng killed the Little Stone Emperor in battle, yet you guys actually walk together. It is truly unbelievable." Fang Han sneered repeatedly.

"The Little Stone Emperor lacked destiny. If he was killed, then he was killed. There is nothing to pity." Emperor Calamity flipped his hand, and a God Sealing Stone Stele appeared on his palm: "As long as this stone stele is still in my hands, I can cultivate a hundred Little Stone Emperors at any time."

"Do you think you guys compare to that finger of the Heavenly Monarch?" Fang Han smiled slightly.

"And me…" A voice drifted over, and a white-robed man, Emperor Life, walked out. Beside him followed Emperor Ning, the two sons of Heavenly Monarch Disaster had appeared: "Feng Yuan, you truly are a disaster, growing way too fast. In the battle just now, you actually slew High Priest Black Wood and seized the Blood-Stained Garment. We cannot let you continue to grow any longer…"

"Hand over the Blood-Stained Garment, the Totem Jar, the Eight Divisions Pagoda, all your magical treasures, and let me absorb all the cultivation over your entire body, and be my dog for eternal lives and generations. I can spare your life."

Emperor Ning spoke in a shrill voice.
