Having the foundation of the "Hongmeng Hall", Emperor Yu now truly believed that the Epoch Gate could advance by leaps and bounds and become a major faction in the Heaven Realm in a short time.
"Becoming the first faction in the Heaven Realm is probably impossible. After all, factions like the Heavenly Court, Truth Holy Land, and Origin Dynasty have been accumulating since the creation of heaven and earth; we cannot compare to them." Fang Han said.
"That's not necessarily true." A woman on Emperor Yu's body spoke. "One Hongmeng Hall is not enough to make us the first largest faction in the Heaven Realm, but if we add an Ancient Pill Realm, then it's hard to say. Moreover, if this is still not enough, what if we add an Ancient Holy Building?"
"Ancient Holy Building!"
Linglong Immortal Venerable's eyes also flashed. She looked at Emperor Yu for quite a while, then at the actual body of the woman making the sound on Emperor Yu, which was a longsword with twelve pairs of wings, and could not help but say, "Sword of the Holy Building, Bible of Faith, so Emperor Yu, you are the inheritor of the Ancient Holy Building. Good, very good. The Ancient Holy Building is another Heavenly Court. Having obtained this Holy Building, we are equal to having added another super divine artifact similar to the Hongmeng Hall. As long as our personal abilities improve, the first faction in the Heaven Realm will belong to no one else but us."
"Wait until I advance to Heavenly Lord, then we will go find the Ancient Holy Building. Right now, we go to the Ancient Pill Realm."
Seeing that everything was fully prepared, Fang Han stood right in the center of the Hongmeng Hall. He grabbed with his large hand, and between his five fingers shot out billowing origin energy, urging the array diagrams. The Heaven Exchanging Secret Art in the Hongmeng Hall was urged once more, completely vanishing into the dust of the Heaven Realm.
The entire Ancient City of the Central State suddenly vanished. The origin energy caused the ten hundred thousand states of the Heavenly Court to fluctuate. Shorty thereafter, at the highest places of the Heavenly Court, numerous grand armies attacking the Heavenly Court, Otherworldly experts, and God Race Heavenly Lords all projected their divine sense here, astonished to discover that the Epoch Gate had thoroughly and completely vanished, with no origin energy remaining.
"What exactly is going on? They actually disappeared?"
"The entire Ancient City of the Central State has disappeared, vanished so cleanly? Could a Heavenly Lord have taken action? But even if a Heavenly Lord took action, I should be able to sense something. Just now, Huangfu Bi'an attacked the Central State, and we were waiting to see what happens, yet such a situation occurred…"
The Miaoli Heavenly Lord standing in the air also couldn't help but become a little bewildered.
He had also seen Huangfu Bi'an dealing with the Central State Yuhua Gate, and simultaneously saw Huangfu Bi'an pursuing Fang Han, disappearing at the end of the Heaven Realm. He did not take action. For two Heavenly Lords to deal with an ant who hadn't advanced to Heavenly Lord, no Heavenly Lord could bring themselves to do it.
But looking at it now, I fear Huangfu Bi'an did not dispose of Fang Han. Instead, he allowed Fang Han to directly take the entire Yuhua Gate away, detaching from the ten hundred thousand states of the Heavenly Court.
Numerous divine senses permeated and extended out into the void, attempting to catch some clues. Unfortunately, the Heaven Exchanging Secret Art of the Hongmeng Hall was extremely secretive, making it fundamentally impossible for Heavenly Lords to catch its whereabouts.
The Hongmeng Hall also did not lack origin energy. Its six Heaven Veins were fully six times more sufficient than the origin energy of the Heavenly Court. Moreover, those Heaven Veins had been ritually refined by Daoist Hongmeng, incorporating the true essence of Hongmeng, causing the entire Hongmeng Hall to appear completely hazy when flying, masking the heavenly secrets. Even Fortune Immortal King could not deduce its specific location back then.
The Hongmeng Hall disappeared, and the numerous supreme existences besieging the Heavenly Court also could not know where it went. However, the attack on the Heavenly Court had to continue.
Those who suffered were the billions of Supreme Great Sects across the ten hundred thousand states of the Heaven Realm. One sect lineage after another was destroyed, and numerous cultivators became slaves to the God Race, Barbarian Race, Otherworlds, and even the Beast Race…
The flames of war continued to extend outward unceasingly, and some rogue cultivators in different dimensional voids were also caught in the crossfire.
Aside from the ten hundred thousand states of the Heavenly Court, other places also had incomparably massive rogue cultivator factions. For example, the illustriously famous "Hongqi Tower" and "Heaven Earth Alliance" in the Heaven Realm were commerce chambers established by some brilliant rogue cultivators, but now they were almost entirely destroyed.
The human cultivators in the Heaven Realm, aside from the three great supreme factions, the Heavenly Court, Truth Holy Land, and Origin Dynasty, also included countless rogue cultivator factions distributed in some barbaric lands, or in mysterious spaces across hundreds of billions of trillions of planes, with various cultivators numbering as many as the sands of the Ganges.
For instance, the Camel God Plane Fang Han saw previously was a plane of human cultivators, though it had become desolate. Planes like this, no one knew how many there were in the Heaven Realm.
Truth Holy Land…
It was still within the Heavenly Lord Candidate Hall. The list on top was constantly changing, making numerous Ancient Emperors stare dumbfounded.
The Truth Holy Land possessed experts like clouds, billions of geniuses, and Ancient Emperors like rain, but Heaven Lord tier experts numbered only a few. Headed by Streaming Light Heaven Lord, Xie Liuguang, who was once ranked second on the Heavenly Lord Candidate List, a figure with the massive qualification to advance to Heavenly Lord.
But now, on the Heavenly Lord Candidate List, this expert was placed far in the back. Many Ancient Emperors were trembling with fear.
"Myriad Sun Heaven Lord's name has vanished from the list, he thoroughly fell. Also! Formless Heaven Lord, Divine Might Heaven Lord, Destruction Heaven Lord, Black Constabulary Heaven Lord, Mirror Moon Heaven Lord… Their names have all vanished. Our Truth Holy Land's Ten Great Heaven Lords have all fallen!"
An Ancient Emperor of the Truth Holy Land screamed hysterically, practically going crazy!
"The Ten Great Heaven Lords were all existences with the hope of advancing to Heavenly Lord, all fallen. This is a loss our Truth Holy Land cannot bear, an unbearable pain!"
An Ancient Emperor was spitting blood.
"Who, who killed them! Notify Streaming Light Heaven Lord immediately. We cannot wait any longer. Investigate, investigate thoroughly to find out exactly who killed the people of our Truth Holy Land. We must smash them into tens of thousands of pieces."
"It's Hua Tiandu. That person named Hua Tiandu, an expert ranked first on the Heavenly Lord Candidate List. Someone guarding the lifebound lamp souls of Myriad Sun Heaven Lord and the others in the Origin Spirit Hall faintly heard this name transmitted from the lifebound lamp souls before they extinguished."
An Ancient Emperor hurried in in a rush.
"Look! This Heavenly Lord Candidate List has changed again. People who have never appeared before actually showed up on the list. The first place is still Hua Tiandu, but the second place is occupied by someone named Linglong. The third place is no longer Yixin, but someone named Chiyuan. The fourth place is Xinmo, the fifth place is named Renhuangbi, the sixth place is named Feng Baiyu, the seventh place is named Mibao! The eighth place is finally Yixin! Our Streaming Light Heaven Lord actually dropped to ninth, almost squeezed out of the top ten."
Many Ancient Emperors of the Truth Holy Land suddenly started rising and falling with roars again, because that Heavenly Lord Candidate List kept on changing. "Yixin", whose illustrious reputation originally placed him at first, had suddenly been squeezed to eighth. No one could stand this. What kind of people were those experts who appeared out of nowhere?
Swish, swish, swish!
Suddenly, a powerful aura descended upon the entire Heavenly Lord Candidate Hall. Two figures appeared.
One of the figures was exactly Xie Liuguang, who had obtained the Hand of Heavenly Lord, and the other person was a frail young man, empty-handed, without any weapons, his face slightly pale, looking entirely like a "pretty boy".
However, when all the Ancient Emperors saw this frail "pretty boy" young man, they were greatly shocked, and some Ancient Emperors with shallow cultivation even stuttered.
"Yi… Yixin…"
The newcomer was actually the old antique who once dominated the first place on the Heavenly Lord Candidate List for over a hundred million years, Yixin.
The "pretty boy" form of the old antique Yixin paid them no mind, but looked straight at the Heavenly Lord Candidate List. Yet his face showed no discouragement, but fully displayed a playful smile.
"Liuguang, look at the rankings of the two of us, we were actually squeezed to the back instantly. Where did so many experts pop out from? Do you know?" Yixin asked slowly and methodically.
"That Hua Tiandu is rumored to be the reincarnation of Hua Heavenly Lord. As for the other people who suddenly popped out, I know nothing at all. But our losses this time are too heavy! The Heavenly Court holds an unshirkable responsibility. I have already reported these matters to the Heavenly Lords of our Truth Holy Land. In a few days, Death Heavenly Lord, Morality Heavenly Lord, Floating Life Heavenly Lord, and Yi Heavenly Lord will go to the Heavenly Court to question this matter. They might even destroy the Heavenly Court, slaying the five great Heavenly Lords: Disaster, Eternity, Chaos, Slaughter, and Thunder Emperor, thoroughly destroying the Heavenly Court and leaving it at that."
Murderous intent boiled in Xie Liuguang's eyes. "As for Hua Tiandu, and these people on the list, all must die too! Not a single one can be left behind."
"You don't know the origins of these people, yet I do." Yixin still smiled: "That Linglong is the inheritor of Daoist Hongmeng and has already inherited the Hongmeng Hall, which is equal to a second Heavenly Court. That Chiyuan is the reincarnation of a sliver of origin spirit of the Ancient Chiyuan Demon Venerable; his previous life was an extremely tyrannical Heavenly Lord. Xinmo was the Heart Demon Heavenly Lord in the Primordial Demon Sect. Renhuangbi was the weapon of the Human Emperor who was a Heavenly Lord in the secular world back then. As for the following Feng Baiyu, the Ending Holy King was sealed within his body. Mibao is the inheritor of the Origin Immortal King. These people, one is more formidable than the last; none are kind figures. Of course, Hua Tiandu is actually not the first. The first is probably a person named Fang Han, or a person named Fang Qingxue…"
Yixin spoke eloquently, as if enumerating his family treasures. No one knew why he could know so many things.
"These people, one is more tyrannical than the last. The path of Heavenly Lord is shrouded by destiny. With these people present, for us to wrest life from the heavens, with these people ahead of us, I fear it will be exceedingly difficult." Xie Liuguang frowned deeply.
"No matter. I will sweep away the obstacles one by one, slaying these people one by one, making them my stepping stones. I will thoroughly sweep away all obstacles for the path to Supreme Heavenly Lord." The smile on Yixin's face remained unchanged. "The ranking on this Heavenly Lord Candidate List amounts to nothing. There are many mysterious figures, for example, the experts of the Origin Dynasty are not on the list. Hiding one's destiny amounts to nothing…"
While speaking, everyone was astonished to see Yixin's name suddenly flash twice, jumping rapidly upwards, seemingly wanting to rush to the first place. But upon rushing to fourth or fifth place, it suddenly vanished, thoroughly concealing itself.
