"Ancient Sutra of Absolute Beginning?" Upon seeing the martial learning Xi Huang executed, Fang Han immediately laughed: "Good, very good, this is the condensation of all your Great Dao quintessence. If I execute you and obtain this Ancient Sutra of Absolute Beginning, I can further enrich my Book of Epoch."
"You monstrous anomaly, making shamelessly boastful claims, even Heavenly Monarchs cannot execute me, and furthermore, we are inside this Heavenly Court; you can execute me?" As Xi Huang manifested the "Ancient Sutra of Absolute Beginning," his entire person's style changed abruptly. He appeared weathered, his beard fluttering, like a grand and wise elder who had guided the birth of countless civilizations.
"Power of the Heavenly Court, adjoin my body."
Xi Huang's body took consecutive steps, transforming into an illusion in the air. Streaks of sun wheel saber gleams shot out ferociously from his hands, cutting towards Fang Han.
As those sun wheels flew, they created a resonance with the vital energy within the Heavenly Court treasury. The forbidden arrays of the Heavenly Court descended, configuring layer upon layer of inescapable nets to suppress Fang Han.
"It is useless. Right now, all the forbidden arrays of the Heavenly Court have gone to repair the heavenly marks; they absolutely cannot bother with this place. The power of the Heavenly Court you can utilize is also extremely limited, negligible to me."
Fang Han brought his five fingers together, forming a hand saber. With a slash through the air, the Long River of Destiny manifested, breaking open all the Heavenly Court's forbidden arrays. While the saber light operated, it also slashed towards Xi Huang's true body.
Having instantly ascended to the realm of Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan, the Little Fatalism transformed once more, almost breaking through the final layer to see through destiny and comprehend some mysteries of the Great Destiny Technique.
Furthermore, the great existence of the Heaven Realm he sensed, the Gate of Eternal Life, also became increasingly clear in his mind.
He even knew that if he had a grand fortuitous encounter and ascended to the realm of Heavenly Monarch, he could truly sense where the Gate of Eternal Life was, behold the true Heaven Realm, and even the physical body, the true body of the eternally existing ultimate divine artifact across numerous epochs, the "Gate of Eternal Life."
"Little Fatalism!"
Xi Huang's complexion changed. Both his hands struck out the Laws of Absolute Beginning, managing to block the destiny river-like saber gleams.
"Since my identity has been exposed and I am Fang Han, so what? The Little Fatalism has already been cultivated to its supreme apex by me. As long as I advance to Heavenly Monarch and locate the Gate of Eternal Life, I can comprehend the Great Destiny Technique. By then, not even Heavenly Monarchs will be my opponents." Fang Han did not use any other ultimate skills; he simply employed the destiny saber river manifested from the Little Fatalism with one hand, slashing out ferociously. Streak by streak, it broke the Heavenly Court forbidden arrays and chipped away at Xi Huang's Energy of Absolute Beginning.
The saber light was densely packed like rivers and oceans, growing increasingly concentrated.
"Too terrifying! I cannot fall here, I must leave." Huangfu Dadao's expression shuddered, his entire body covered in cold sweat. At the instant Xi Huang and Fang Han clashed, he retreated, preparing to leave the battlefield.
His body flickered repeatedly, leaping outward.
However, at exactly this instant, swish! Fang Han's gaze swept over his body, and raising his hand, he delivered a saber strike! Slashing over to execute him, no time or space could block this saber strike originating from destiny.
"Huangfu Dadao, I said I would execute you. Running to the ends of the earth will be useless." Fang Han surprisingly broke away while battling Xi Huang to launch a certain-kill saber strike.
"Ah!"
As the saber light flashed, Huangfu Dadao's body was cleaved in half.
He roared frantically, his body trying to coalesce once again. But suddenly, a shadow separated from Fang Han's body, bypassed Xi Huang, and unexpectedly arrived completely alone beside him. Its expression was indifferent, dragon energy tumbling, and upon it were actually wisps of poison gas from the Poisonous Hooks. The poison gas combined with the dragon energy, abruptly transforming, and an aura of Xuanhuang Blood surged out from within.
The arm of this shadow shook, thick tendons twisting together like ancestral dragons. It was heavily bloodstained with Xuanhuang Energy, possessing immensely powerful lethality, and simply made a direct grab.
Huangfu Dadao's body began to smoke. Grabbed by this shadow, he was actually unable to move, as though even a fire burning his soul was about to seep out.
"The avatar manifested by the Eight Divisions Pagoda!"
He struggled with all his might, operating his power, and saw that this shadow was actually manifested by a magical treasure.
It was the Eight Divisions Pagoda that had undergone the baptism of the Xuanhuang Blood Heavenly Tribulation. While fighting with Xi Huang, Fang Han sent this magical treasure flying out from his body to execute Huangfu Dadao.
The power of the Eight Divisions Pagoda was not what it used to be. Although still a King Grade Immortal Artifact, it had devoured a pair of Poisonous Hooks, devoured the Armor of the Horned God, further integrated the Creation Divine Artifact fragments, and underwent the baptism of Xuanhuang Blood. Even as an independent magical treasure, it could approach the level of an existence like the Spear of Judgment.
Huangfu Dadao was not a match for this Eight Divisions Pagoda.
"Great Majestic Heavenly Dragon, Daluo Divine Hoard." The Eight Divisions Pagoda suddenly transformed at once, becoming an Emperor looking exactly like Fang Han, but wearing a flat heavenly crown and stepping in imperial shoes: "Eight Divisions Heavenly Emperor!"
The Eight Divisions Pagoda manifested an invincible form, incarnating as the "Eight Divisions Heavenly Emperor," and with its large hand captured all of Huangfu Dadao's avatars, forcibly grabbing them into its hand and converging them back into a single physical form again.
The majestic and awe-inspiring master of the Huangfu Family, Huangfu Dadao, acclaimed as the incarnation of the Great Dao, was entirely captured just like that.
"Directly refine!"
After the Eight Divisions Pagoda incarnated as the "Eight Divisions Heavenly Emperor" and captured Huangfu Dadao, it directly slammed the dragon energy that had undergone the Xuanhuang Blood baptism into his body. Instantly, this Supreme Cult Master began howling like a slaughtered pig.
As a Supreme Cult Master, Huangfu Dadao was grabbed by the Eight Divisions Pagoda and was actually unable to resist, subject to being refined. If many ancient Emperors of the Heavenly Court were to see this, they would probably be scared straight to death.
One must know that Huangfu Dadao's strength surpassed the average ancient Emperor, far above many Patriarchs of Supreme Great Sects. Among the countless Cult Masters of the Heavenly Court's hundred thousand great provinces, he could likely be counted as one of the best.
But now, he was defeated by a mere magical treasure. And easily defeated at that.
This showed just how formidable the Eight Divisions Pagoda had become after passing the Heavenly Tribulation and undergoing the tempering of the Xuanhuang Blood.
It already possessed some characteristics of a Saint Grade Immortal Artifact.
The condition for advancing to a Saint Grade Immortal Artifact was just like the great tribulation of a Heavenly Monarch, enduring the tempering of the blood condensed from Xuanhuang Energy.
"Fang Han, spare me! From now on, I will not dare oppose you again. The Yuhua Sect and our Huangfu Family have been friendly for generations. Even if the Heavenly Court opposes you, my Huangfu Family will ultimately stand with you." Amidst his pig-slaughtering screeches of misery, Huangfu Dadao begged for mercy repeatedly. The demeanor of a Supreme Great Sect's Cult Master and a peerless genius was completely swept away: "Our Huangfu Family has the old ancestor Huangfu Bian. With his protection, no matter what the Heavenly Court intends to do to the Yuhua Sect, there will be no issues."
"Haha, a fool's dream, Huangfu Bian? Can Huangfu Bian compare to me? Since you know I am Fang Han, you should know that Chaos Heavenly Monarch stands behind me." The "Eight Divisions Heavenly Emperor" manifested by the Eight Divisions Pagoda let out a grating sound: "Huangfu Dadao, just thoroughly give up all hope, undergo refinement for me!"
Even more Xuanhuang Energy emerged from the Eight Divisions Pagoda and struck into Huangfu Dadao's body. Immediately, Huangfu Dadao's body began to melt, and a crystal treasure boat flew out.
This was the source spiritual soul he had cultivated. The spirit vein vital energy tumbling within it was actually all heavenly vein vital energy.
"Hahaha, such a vast amount of heavenly vein vital energy! Huangfu Dadao, heaven truly assists me through you. This allows me to execute the Creation Divine Fist, Three Hundred Times Combat Power, and directly blast and kill Xi Huang…"
The Eight Divisions Pagoda swallowed this crystal treasure boat along with Huangfu Dadao in one gulp. The interweaving Great Dao textures across its entire body instantly doubled, its power rolling wave after wave, more ferocious than the tides of the Heaven Realm.
Swish!
The Eight Divisions Pagoda transformed into a ray of light, plunging back into Fang Han's body once more.
At this time, Fang Han's true body was fighting an inextricably fierce battle with Xi Huang. Fang Han did not execute any Daoist techniques; relying solely on the Little Fatalism transformed into saber gleams, exhaling and inhaling between strikes, the Long River of Destiny swept across, the slices of saber light cutting through the vast sky, breaking through every obstacle. Meanwhile, Xi Huang activated his "Ancient Sutra of Absolute Beginning," releasing waves of Energy of Absolute Beginning to fight back against Fang Han.
At this moment, Fang Han surprisingly occupied the absolute upper hand. As his hand saber rolled up, amidst the crisscrossing saber energy, Xi Huang was forced to the point of being unable to catch his breath. The massive destiny power ran wild, rampaging unimpeded in the deepest parts of this Heavenly Court treasury.
Wherever it smashed into, the planets there turned to powder, and the magical treasures, medicinal pills, and talismans sealed within flew out, swept into the power of the saber light, and then entered Fang Han's body.
With a stir of his mind, Fang Han looked inward and saw that he surprisingly possessed a full twelve Saint Grade Immortal Pills within his body. There were also twenty-six King Grade Immortal Artifacts.
All collected from the Heavenly Court treasury amidst battle; this could directly scare an Immortal to death.
Aside from these, there were exactly nineteen talismans refined by Heavenly Monarchs, each with different effects. Those King Grade Immortal Artifacts included cauldrons, swords, sabers, spears, zithers, bells, furnaces, flags, banners, pennants… diverse and varied, every single piece exuding an extremely formidable power rivaling an Emperor.
In other words, by taking these King Grade Immortal Artifacts into his pockets and passing them to the Yuhua Sect, twenty-six Emperor-level masters would instantly emerge. With so many Emperors, although far inferior to the Heavenly Court, it could completely make up for the strength lost from purging the Hua Family.
Even more formidable were those Saint Grade Immortal Pills; twelve of them were suppressed inside Fang Han's body. They were originally restless, ready to run amok, but swept by the vital energy manifested from the Xuanhuang Blood, every single one became silent out of fear, unable to move. If these Saint Grade Immortal Pills all took human form, they would be Cult Masters of Supreme Great Sects, equivalent to an Emperor at the realm of Heaven and Earth Sharing the Same Lifespan.
Bringing them to the Yuhua Sect, if they could be subdued, they could transform into twelve grand ancestors! Propelling the Yuhua Sect forward to become one of the top powers among the Heavenly Court's hundred thousand great provinces in one leap.
As for the nineteen Heavenly Monarch talismans, they had even more effects. Utilized properly, they could produce even more peerless geniuses for the sect.
However, Fang Han did not care about these right now. With a movement of his body, the Eight Divisions Pagoda flew back. He instantly noticed the dense heavenly vein vital energy in that crystal small boat, extremely abundant. Granule by granule of imperishable heavenly talismans formed mountains of vital energy, bobbing uncertainly within the universe inside the small boat.
In an instant, he deduced that the heavenly vein vital energy stored within Huangfu Dadao's source world was enough for him to execute the energy required for the Creation Divine Fist's Three Hundred Times Combat Power roughly three times over.
Rumble!
Streaks of Creation Divine Energy erupted from his body, condensing into figures of Creation Gods one after another.
"Xi Huang, I will send you on your way with a single punch!"
Upon seeing this, Xi Huang's complexion swished and changed completely, "Creation Divine Fist, Three Hundred Times Combat Power!"
