Eternal-Life

Three Paths to Advancing to a Heavenly Lord

"This mass of vitality is condensed from your life essence. I shall return it to you to re-condense your body." Fang Han tossed the mass of vitality that resembled Xuanhuang Blood in his hand. It combined with the two primordial cores in the air, continuously wriggling, and finally transformed into a demon god. It was actually the original archetype of the Red Sea Demon Venerable.

He successfully re-condensed once again.

It was just his face was a bit pale, merely a damage to his vitality.

"The Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Fist is truly equivalent to a strike from a Heavenly Lord. Your magic power is too terrifying." The Red Sea Demon Venerable, having received Fang Han's release and successfully condensed his physical form, lost the ferocious might of an immemorial demon god and looked at Fang Han with some apprehension.

Fang Han did not want to kill this person. Naturally, it was because of his relationship with the Red Abyss Demon Venerable. Otherwise, he would have long since refined even that Primordial Ancient Demon's demon seed and Lei Di Heavenly Lord's thunder core entirely.

With his current strength, ever since refining the Ten Thousand Lives Thunder Pool, casually devouring ancient emperors and King Grade Immortal Artifacts could no longer increase his skill achievement much. But an expert like the Red Sea Demon Venerable was hard to come by. A monster who failed the tribulation yet didn't die, actually managing to retain a trace of spiritual consciousness under his condition of three hundred times combat power.

Devouring this kind of figure would also yield great benefits.

However, Fang Han knew he could not solely rely on devouring to increase his cultivation. He needed to undergo tempering for a period of time, consolidate all his cultivation and memories, and make further progress from his current pinnacle. For him right now, the effect of cultivating and consolidating was much greater than the effect of devouring.

"Now, you should follow." Suddenly, with a wave of his hand, Fang Han struck out a streak of Buddha light that entered the Red Sea Demon Venerable's body. This was the Buddha light from the World Honored Free King Buddha's talisman, possessing absolute control.

Moreover, when Fang Han shattered the Red Sea Demon Venerable's body just now and condensed that mass of Xuanhuang Blood vitality, he had also already infused his own will into it, enabling him to achieve absolute control over this Demon Venerable.

Without deploying some methods, he would not believe this Demon Venerable would truly be controlled by him.

The Red Sea Demon Venerable remained calm, watching Fang Han deploy restricted formations to bless his body. He knew resisting would also be futile. A figure like Fang Han was simply impossible to contend against, already the closest person to a Heavenly Lord in the entire myriad heavens and realms, the myriad universes.

"Let's go, Red Sea Demon Venerable. You must follow me and cannot barge around randomly. I have already obtained the things I want now, so I will exit from within the Heavenly Court. The restricted formations of this Heavenly Court are formidable; even Heavenly Lords cannot enter them. Only my Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures and Creation Divine Fist can enter and exit freely."

Fang Han took a step and left, regardless of what the Red Sea Demon Venerable did. He knew that for this Demon Venerable to exit the Heavenly Court, he had to follow him, otherwise, after going out, it would be hard to move a single inch.

Sure enough, the Red Sea Demon Venerable followed up. What level of cultivation did this Demon Venerable have? If he could enter the Heavenly Lord Candidate List, he could at least rank in the top three. He could naturally see that the situation was perilous, with heavy restricted formations everywhere in the Heavenly Court. Without Fang Han, he would also be trapped inside.

Fang Han was now fully contented, about to exit from the Heavenly Court.

Having obtained the Pill Realm secrets he wanted, killed the two enemies Emperor Xi and the Spear of Judgment, and wiped out the entire Divine Prison, obtained the Ten Thousand Lives Thunder Pool, and subdued the Red Sea Demon Venerable. All these harvests were tremendous. Wishing to obtain more harvests would be greed. If Heavenly Lords came to kill, there would be many troubles.

Lei Di Heavenly Lord already knew about this matter now, and it was highly likely he would separate clones to kill.

One clone of a Heavenly Lord would be fine, but in case several appeared, then I'm afraid the danger of falling would be unavoidable.

Therefore, he had to immediately leave the Heaven Realm now and find a place to digest all his acquisitions. Anyway, he had absorbed enough heavenly meridian vitality, at least enough for him to unleash the explosive might of three hundred times combat power over a thousand times.

Swoosh!

His body leaped, transforming into a streak of creation qi, perfectly blending into the Heavenly Court's restricted formations. At the same time, wrapping the Red Sea Demon Venerable, he shuttled outwards from the Heavenly Court. In a short while, he was completely out of sight.

"The Heavenly Court's Divine Prison was entirely wiped out by me. I wonder how huge a commotion it will cause? I would actually like to see, with Emperor Xi and the Spear of Judgment also dead, will the entire Heavenly Court go mad?"

The instant Fang Han flew out of the Heavenly Court, he was pondering this question in his heart.

As soon as he exited the Heavenly Court, the endless aura of war shrouded patch after patch of the void. The barbarian race, sea race, protoss, other worlds… various experts set up an allied army and were still bombarding the Heavenly Court day and night without stopping. The war was never-ending, and it was unknown what year and what month it would last until. The auras of some Heavenly Lords were hidden deep within an unknown number of worlds, holding down the fort and observing the surroundings.

Fang Han's current cultivation was no small matter; he could already keenly sense Heavenly Lord auras. Instantly, he sensed the seven great Divine Emperors of the protoss connecting into a grand array, seemingly preparing to activate the Creation Artifact Great Axe anew to chop a breach in the Heavenly Court.

"The Progenitor Sage King of the protoss has exhausted his lifespan, and it seems difficult for him to awaken. The Creation Artifact Great Axe that was born together with him is probably also running out of lifespan, in a state of terminal lucidity. If I could obtain the bodies of these two…" Suddenly, Fang Han thought daringly beyond bounds: "Also, the true main trunk of the World Tree is in the God Realm, serving as the foundation of the God Realm. If I obtained it, I could even restore the complete World Tree. At that time, this would also be a formidable magic treasure."

Now, Fang Han's World Tree and Spoon of the Desolate God no longer had much use, completely losing their combat power.

But as his cultivation deepened and his penetration of heaven and earth grew, Fang Han knew the World Tree itself was a supreme treasure comparable to an Immortal King. Otherwise, it would not have taken the Progenitor Sage King and the Creation Artifact Great Axe so long to chop it down, expending so much power.

The World Tree on Fang Han's body now was but a very small portion of the original World Tree, equivalent to a speck of dust on a planet. Its power was not great, and its profound mysteries had not manifested. If he truly obtained the main trunk of the World Tree, that would be enough to break the boundary between heaven and man.

If Fang Han wanted to become a Heavenly Lord now, with one hundred percent certainty, it was not without methods.

He calculated it out. First was to obtain the slumbering Divine Pills of Creation inside the Pill Realm, merge them into his body, accumulate enough power, and he could immediately assault the Heavenly Lord great Dao.

Second was to obtain the complete World Tree, which could also possibly grant him enough accumulation.

Third was to obtain the corpse of a fallen Heavenly Lord, then execute the flesh and blood merging art to thoroughly plunder the physical body of the Heavenly Lord.

These three methods were all very difficult. Not having obtained the key to the Pill Realm, he simply could not enter it. Seizing the World Tree required opposing the entire God Realm. As for finding the corpse of a fallen Heavenly Lord, that was even harder to find in myriad antiquities.

"Hmm? Corpse of a fallen Heavenly Lord?"

Fang Han's mind suddenly jolted as he recalled a scene. That scene was a giant coffin, with Hua Tiandu cultivating right in front of the coffin?

Hua Heavenly Lord's corpse was lying inside the coffin.

"Heavenly Lord's corpse… isn't Hua Heavenly Lord exactly that? With my current cultivation, having found the corpse of this Hua Heavenly Lord, I could definitely take possession of it directly. Using the flesh and blood entrusting art, I plunder everything, the magpie occupying the turtledove's nest, and then assault Heavenly Lord. This would probably truly have a one hundred percent certainty." Fang Han's heart pounded violently.

He immediately began to calculate Hua Tiandu's location.

However, in the obscure void, he could only divine out a blurry shadow. It seemed there was a very tyrannical power that completely sealed off all heavenly secrets regarding Hua Heavenly Lord. With Fang Han's current Dao attainment, calculating it was actually incomparably difficult.

"Hua Tiandu is not in the Heavenly Court, otherwise I would definitely be able to sense it. But where exactly is Hua Heavenly Lord? Plundering this person's corpse is more reliable. Never mind, I'll still thoroughly consolidate my cultivation first. Through seeking activity within stillness, I will definitely be able to calculate it out. My current power is enough to comprehend some matters of Heavenly Lords. But is that Hua Tiandu wanting to merge into one with Hua Heavenly Lord's corpse? And then appear out of nowhere? Yes, Hua Tiandu's plans are definitely these."

Fang Han exited the Heavenly Court without a sound or trace. He now had even less of the aura of fireworks. With the Epoch Divine Array condensed, amidst his flashing, even Heavenly Lords would find it hard to discover his tracks. After exiting the Heavenly Court, he directly returned to the Yuhua Sect.

The Central Province Ancient City was entirely sealed off, and its power was expanding outwards. Countless Golden Immortal disciples, Ancestor Immortal disciples, Primal Immortal elders, and sages of the Yuhua Sect were engaging in fierce combat outside, slaughtering the great armies of various barbarian races, protoss, beast races, sea races, and other worlds… forcing them into steady retreat. This time's massive army invasion and supreme tribulation completely served as an opportunity for the Yuhua Sect disciples to temper themselves.

Inside the Yuhua Sect, the time in the Heaven Kingdom had already accelerated. One two-hour period outside was a thousand years inside. Many disciples cultivated for a thousand years, then came out to slay demonic beasts, and after gaining insights in the tragic and fierce battles, immediately returned to the Heaven Kingdom to enter secluded cultivation. Now, inside the Yuhua Sect, provisions were thoroughly open and unrestrictedly supplied.

King-grade spiritual meridian vitality and Saint-grade spiritual meridian vitality were not lacking. Various pills and materials were distributed like flowing water. Every disciple wept tears of gratitude and swore to make contributions to the sect. At this very moment, the Yuhua Sect was like a massive war machine, thoroughly starting into operation.

For no other reason, the resources were simply far too abundant.

The spiritual meridian vitality Fang Han plundered and the numerous magic treasures from the eighteenth floor of the Heavenly Court's Treasure House could practically create ten super supreme great sects. Just think about it, millions of king-grade spiritual meridians would make one's scalp go numb. Furthermore, there were tens of millions of King Grade Immortal Pills and countless magic treasure materials.

Yuhuang was a true manager, possessing the demeanor of a supreme great sect's leader. On one hand, he cultivated himself, and on the other hand, he managed the entire sect methodically and systematically. Whatever cultivation, distribution, rewarding, or imparting… he handled these sect matters flawlessly. Even Fang Han's management methods were not this strong.

Of course, if Fang Han pushed his calculations to the full extent, he could naturally cover all bases. Targeting the strengths and personalities of all disciples, he could formulate special training and cultivation methods for everyone, shaping every single person into a genius. If he took the position of sect master and fully cultivated the sect's disciples, it would not take a thousand years for the comprehensive strength of the Yuhua Sect to definitely surpass any supreme great sect. Because his calculation ability was equivalent to the invincible light brains of the ancient technological civilization; he could perceive even the most subtle, imperceptible details of every disciple.

However, he didn't have this time now. He needed to advance and reach Heavenly Lord first before anything else.

Returning inside the Yuhua Sect, he saw Yuhuang with his eyes closed, cultivating.
