"The Epoch Divine Array is finally cast, and my magic power has risen again. I wonder what rank I can reach on that so-called Heavenly Lord Candidate List? Can I compare to those experts who triggered the Heavenly Lord great tribulation, failed, yet did not die?"
Fang Han stood up. The Epoch Divine Array transformed back into his own body, turning into a tall and burly physique. All the treasures were hidden within his body, becoming a part of the divine array. This was a supreme divine ability unmatched by anyone, directly pointing to the realm of the Heavenly Lord great Dao.
In the future, after Fang Han cultivated into a Heavenly Lord, his title would be "Epoch Heavenly Lord".
He was almost certain that after accumulating enough, he would be able to assault that supreme great Dao and comprehend the true essence of destruction.
The Spear of Judgment let out a final miserable shriek, having all its will ground away, and also merged into the Epoch Divine Array, becoming a magic treasure to suppress an array eye.
Now, all the magic treasures on Fang Han's body had broken their destiny. Making no distinction between each other, they were parts of his body, including the Totem Can and the Blood-Stained Garment. His path of cultivation had once again stepped onto a new level.
A new heaven and earth slowly unfurled before him.
"Fang Han, you… I am not resigned. I also want to advance to the supreme Dao of a Heavenly Lord. I am the magic treasure with the most hope…" The resentment emitted by the Spear of Judgment when it finally disappeared could almost allow it to be reborn again: "I am truly not resigned. Between this heaven and earth, it should have been me who achieved Heavenly Lord, but it perfected you. Was I destined just to be your stepping stone!"
"You are right, you are my stepping stone. Ever since you chose to oppose me, your destiny was already doomed, irreversible." Fang Han waved his hand, dispersing the final trace of resentment from the Spear of Judgment. He then felt the Spear of Judgment completely transform into a short spear, seven inches long, floating up and down within his body, radiating boundless brilliant light.
With a spear in hand, no ghosts or gods shall remain. Powerful judgment power surged within his body. Fang Han nodded secretly.
He made a huge profit this time. Not only did he slay his enemies, but he also obtained the secrets of the Pill Realm map. At the same time, he gained the Qi of Absolute Beginning and all the cultivation of the Spear of Judgment.
The true body of the Spear of Judgment was no less tyrannical than the Eight Sections Pagoda. As an array eye of the Epoch Divine Array, it could allow one to comprehend the true essence of judgment.
And the Qi of Absolute Beginning transformed from Emperor Xi had even more functions to derive various profound mysteries. All of Emperor Xi's cultivation experiences were completely stripped away.
Whether it was Emperor Xi, the Spear of Judgment, or Emperor Feng, they had all received the experience of Heavenly Lords imparting the great Dao. As Fang Han absorbed all their memories, it was immediately equivalent to Heavenly Lords personally imparting the great Dao to him. Streams of memories washed and calculated, making all kinds of his Dao arts flawless and perfect.
Now, he was almost waiting for the final step, which was that final leap to completely advance to a Heavenly Lord.
To advance to a Heavenly Lord, his current accumulation was far from enough.
With his current strength, he estimated that he could rank very high on that "Heavenly Lord Candidate List". However, whether he could be number one was still hard to say. He originally thought Emperor Xi and the others were the number one figures below Heavenly Lords, but he did not expect there were experts at the Sky Lord level, and even super abnormal existences who failed the Heavenly Lord great tribulation yet did not die.
Fang Han felt a sense of urgency.
It was not because of the pressure from the Heavenly Court, but rather the pressure from heaven and earth.
The higher his cultivation became, the more he felt that the great destruction of heaven and earth seemed to be drawing somewhat near. Once the great destruction of heaven and earth occurred, this epoch disappeared, and the universe returned to chaos, then he would also disappear. Because for those who were not Heavenly Lords, all their auras were closely linked to the entire heaven and earth, just like a fetus in a mother's womb. If the mother perished, the fetus would also die, and nothing could be protected.
Even Immortal Kings could not protect a mortal when the great destruction of heaven and earth arrived. Because as soon as heaven and earth perished, mortals would also immediately die, closely linked and mutually sensing each other.
Once heaven and earth were extinguished, all people would unconditionally die.
Even before the extinction of heaven and earth, under the sensing of auras, powerful experts below the level of Heavenly Lord would exhibit exhaustion. This was the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man".
This was a situation that no Dao arts or divine abilities could reverse, and no one could salvage.
And cultivating into a Heavenly Lord meant breaking the barrier, equivalent to a baby being born and leaving the mother's body. Even if the mother died, there was still a way to survive. This was the true meaning of a Heavenly Lord, truly breaking free from the bindings of heaven and earth.
Fang Han knew that he currently had experts like the Heavenly Lord of Confusion and the Sage King of Endings protecting him. There was no problem with his safety, but once the great destruction of heaven and earth occurred, he would also disappear. This was the most deadly part.
"I still need to accumulate more… While absorbing the heavenly meridian vitality, I will search for valuable things in this Heavenly Court… With my current strength, Heavenly Lords can no longer kill me easily… The opportunity is rare."
After Fang Han refined Emperor Feng, the Spear of Judgment, and Emperor Xi, his magic power converged. It had already returned to original simplicity and reached the peak of perfection, directly entering a realm of handling any situation with ease. He even wanted a Heavenly Lord to come and hunt him down now, to see how great his limits were, and to see exactly how long he could hold on under a Heavenly Lord's hands.
In the Heavenly Court, there were incredibly numerous treasures. Some tyrannical treasures were hidden deep within. Fang Han wanted to find some items personally refined by the Five Great Heavenly Lords, such as talismans, Dao books… or even everything left behind by the ancient Immortal King of Good Fortune, attempting to increase his own accumulation, so that he could break through forcefully when triggering the Heavenly Lord great tribulation in the future.
Gradually, he went deep into the innermost part of the Heavenly Court, using the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures to sense everything around.
The Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures, having just undergone condensation and breaking their destiny, were completely independent and would not be sensed by any existence. They maneuvered even more smoothly within the Heavenly Court.
At this moment, Fang Han was just like an emperor walking in his own palace. Whatever he wanted, he could just take it away, incredibly relaxed and carefree.
Great battles were continuous outside the Heavenly Court. No one could have imagined that a borer had sneaked inside.
Gradually, Fang Han delved deep into the interior of the Heavenly Court.
The interior of the Heavenly Court was an even more magnificent world. It was unknown how many layers of structures and how many layers of mysterious places there were. Some places emitted tyrannical auras, imposed with ancient seals, and pasted with talismans from Heavenly Lords, seemingly sealing ancient vicious fiends. Some places had abundant spiritual qi, containing the textures of the great Dao, appearing to be innate places for cultivating the Dao…
Just as Fang Han was strolling inside the Heavenly Court, looking for valuable existences, in the Treasure Realm, clouds and qi billowed.
The Treasure Realm…
It was unknown how large it was, with treasure light piercing the sky. At this moment, many heavenly sounds of the great Dao descended, penetrating the bodies of every magic treasure, allowing these magic treasures to make rapid progress. The aura within the entire Treasure Realm became denser and denser. Every moment, magic treasures were advancing, and their strength was constantly increasing.
There was only one reason for all of this: high above at the very top of the Treasure Realm, the invincible Heavenly Lord of Confusion was sitting cross-legged, expounding the wondrous sounds of the great Dao, while the Staff of Legends and the Wings of Freedom, two Saint Grade Immortal Artifacts, were also by the side, discussing the Dao with the Heavenly Lord of Confusion.
Three great Heavenly Lords discussing the Dao created a spectacular scene. The myriad living beings of the Treasure Realm all obtained tremendous achievements.
"Sigh…" Suddenly, the Heavenly Lord of Confusion stopped discussing the Dao and sighed: "It is not easy for you to guard the Treasure Realm. Every magic treasure in this realm has extraordinary aptitude. Unfortunately, how many can advance to reach Heavenly Lord? The great destruction of heaven and earth of this epoch will soon arrive. At that time, all existences below Heavenly Lord will decline and perish. Can you bear to let all of this go?"
"Of course we cannot bear it. In this epoch, the Treasure Realm has been imbued with our painstaking efforts for an unknown number of hundreds of millions of years. But there is no other way, this is a doomed matter, and we cannot save them either. Only in the next epoch can the Treasure Realm be forged anew, restoring its glory once again…"
The Staff of Legends shook its head.
"One chaos is one year…" The Heavenly Lord of Confusion sighed deeply. "To us, one chaos is the time of a year, fleeting in the blink of an eye. I feel that the events in the previous epoch are still vivid in my mind. I don't know how many epochs I can survive? The ultimate limit for us Heavenly Lords is ten epochs. Brother Many-Treasures Heavenly Lord could not escape it either, and has now fallen. I do not have many epochs left to live, unless I cultivate into an Immortal King."
"The lifespan of an Immortal King, at the very most, is only about twenty chaos epochs. That Progenitor Sage King of the protoss has actually reached his limit. He is desperately reviving, experiencing a terminal lucidity, striving for a final resurrection." The Wings of Freedom shook its head: "Although we are Heavenly Lords, I do not know if we can pass through this great tribulation. Heavenly Lords only have a fifty percent chance."
"No matter. That Fang Han is the key to passing the tribulation. His identity is no small matter." The Heavenly Lord of Confusion said: "However, whether he can awaken depends on destiny. We also cannot control destiny, nor can we control our own futures. But if he can awaken, I will have hope of achieving Immortal King and living for more than ten more chaos epochs."
"What exactly is his origin?"
The Staff of Legends asked.
"I am not clear either, just guessing." The Heavenly Lord of Confusion closed his eyes, seemingly unwilling to say more.
"Buzz!"
Right at this moment, a vibration was suddenly transmitted from the bodies of the Staff of Legends and the Wings of Freedom. It was as if an aura was completely severed, losing connection with a clone.
"Huh? What is going on? Someone in the lower realm refined our clones, yet broke the destiny, making the clones independent. Why did this happen?" While speaking, the gazes of the two great Saint Grade Immortal Artifacts looked toward the depths of the endless void, and they saw the Heavenly Court currently under siege.
"Needless to say, it must be Fang Han's power that has advanced again. Upgrading his realm another step allows him to break the destiny and melt many things into one furnace. This is a good thing. The wishful thinking of the Heavenly Court can also ultimately fall through…" The Heavenly Lord of Confusion said: "He is getting closer and closer to the Dao of a Heavenly Lord. That corresponds to the moment a fish truly transforms into a dragon. Hopefully he can succeed as soon as possible. We cannot help him in this aspect. Once we help him, it will instead affect his invincible will…"
