"Heaven Mystic Earth Emperor, universal glory, Dao of the Heavenly Lord, imperishable through myriad tribulations…"
In a crystal-clear world like a gemstone, Hua Tiandu sat within it, eyes closed and legs crossed, seemingly cultivating a peerless divine dao. His body constantly vibrated, emitting an ancient and mysterious power.
"Despicable, Fang Han, are you my nemesis?"
Hua Tiandu circulated his magical power continuously for countless times before slowly beginning to open his eyes, exhaling a long breath, heaven and earth both within his breathing. As soon as he opened his eyes, a ferocious expression immediately appeared on his face.
Toward Fang Han, his hatred had reached the extreme, almost wishing he could eat his meat and gnaw on his skin. In the secular world, he had been firmly suppressed by Fang Han. With great difficulty, he ascended to the Heaven Realm, obtained the body of Hua Heavenly Lord, constantly refined it, and finally successfully merged it with himself. He even obtained the legendary "Coffin of Heavenly Burial". Unfortunately, he was still suppressed by Fang Han; after crossing hands once, he even lost the "Key of the Moment".
This was equivalent to cutting off one of his paths to becoming a Heavenly Lord.
One must know, although he had now merged with the body of Hua Heavenly Lord, his own soul was far from reaching the realm of Heavenly Lord and could not completely control the physical body, otherwise he would not have been beaten so miserably by Fang Han.
If he could secretly enter the Pill Realm, his cultivation would reach the realm of Heavenly Lord, and slaying Fang Han would be like slaying a chicken. But now, Fang Han entered the Ancient Pill Realm, and if he cultivated into a Heavenly Lord, killing him would be just as simple as killing a chicken.
"The Coffin of Heavenly Burial, I cannot utilize it at all. This coffin, even Hua Heavenly Lord could not utilize back then. When my cultivation reaches the Heavenly Lord realm, relying on the experience of two lifetimes, perhaps I can comprehend a thing or two. If I truly comprehended the mysteries of this Coffin of Heavenly Burial thoroughly, burying the heavens, let alone Fang Han, even any Heavenly Lord would not be my match; I would directly chase after the Immortal King."
Hua Tiandu's fierce gaze swept all directions like a hungry wolf. Beneath him appeared a coffin, vermilion red, with pitch-black gloom within, unknown what was flowing inside.
This coffin, the Coffin of Heavenly Burial, an unparalleled divine artifact, was unfortunately harder to urge than the Hongmeng Hall, with too many secrets hidden within. However, relying on this coffin, if Hua Tiandu hid inside, even a Heavenly Lord could not kill him.
"Hua Tiandu ah Hua Tiandu…"
Suddenly, a voice resounded, "To think that in the secular world, you were not Fang Han's match, and arriving in the Heaven Realm, having such a massive fortunate encounter, you are still not Fang Han's match. Truly a pity, pitiful, and tragic ah…"
"Who!"
Hua Tiandu roared angrily and stood up. His tall body shook, and pieces of space-time collapsed. Instantly, a touch of a white shadow appeared in a space-time fragment.
He reached out and grabbed, face ferocious, carrying a cruel smile: "To dare play the devil in front of me, do you think you are a Heavenly Lord?" His sharp claws sliced through nothingness, completely enveloping a region of kingdom.
Sizzle!
Suddenly, that white shadow erupted with a heaven-shocking slaughter sword energy, actually cutting open Hua Tiandu's large hand force, then wandered out, subsequently revealing a young man.
"Hua Tiandu, you have quite the murderous nature, truly worthy of being the reincarnation of Hua Heavenly Lord. Is this how you deal with your fellow sect members? I was also once a disciple of the Yuhua Gate after all."
The white-clothed young man held a longsword, his whole person integrated with the sword, like an immemorial slaughter sword, his sharp edge completely exposed. Even if an Ancient Emperor saw this person, they would probably generate a deep chill.
"Meng Shaobai!"
Hua Tiandu saw this person clearly and couldn't help but twitch his brows, looking him up and down: "What fortunate encounter did you obtain? To actually have such cultivation? Far surpassing a Heaven Lord?"
"Oh? Is it that only you, Hua Tiandu, are allowed to have fortunate encounters, and I, Meng Shaobai, am not allowed to have fortunate encounters?" Meng Shaobai smiled slightly: "I, Meng Shaobai, am after all the inheritor of Slaughter Heavenly Lord. Today I revere the will of the Heavenly Lord to come visit you, and to join hands with you to oppose Fang Han together."
"Opposing Fang Han? The current Fang Han, is he someone you can oppose?" A mocking expression appeared on Hua Tiandu's face. "On the way, I killed many otherworldly experts and plundered their memories, thus knowing Fang Han's heroic deeds. In the Heavenly Court, he killed the sectmaster of the Taiyi Sect and the family head of the Huangfu Family. Sovereign Xi, the Spear of Judgement, the son of Disaster Heavenly Lord, and even the Heavenly Court Divine Prison, all were destroyed by him, and the Heavenly Court is helpless."
"Is that so? The Heavenly Court is not helpless, but the various Heavenly Lords are ritually refining the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure. Once the ritual refinement is successful, even if Fang Han cultivates into a Heavenly Lord, it will be of no avail. Of course, Fang Han being formidable is truly formidable. You, Hua Tiandu, are the reincarnation of Hua Heavenly Lord, yet weren't you also defeated at Fang Han's hands, even having the key to the Ancient Pill Realm snatched away by him?" Meng Shaobai kept smiling all along.
"What?" Murderous intent immediately surged wildly in Hua Tiandu's eyes: "How did you know about my struggle with Fang Han? Speak! Otherwise today I will make you die without a burial place."
"Hmph. Die without a burial place." Meng Shaobai also gave a cold snort. Within his body, a massive illusory phantom rose up, actually in the shape of a Kunpeng. This Kunpeng breathed the sun and moon, covering the sky and blocking the sun. With a slight inhalation, planes were practically shaking, on the verge of being swallowed whole by this Kunpeng.
"This is! Under the command of Fortune Immortal King, within the Myriad Beasts Garden, the most tyrannical Lord of Divine Beasts, the corpse of the Kunpeng Supreme Emperor. You actually refined this item? Back then, the Kunpeng Supreme Emperor blasphemed Fortune, fled into the mortal realm, yet still couldn't escape punishment and was struck dead by Fortune Immortal King, its corpse collected and stored in the treasure vault."
Hua Tiandu's expression moved slightly, and he spoke slowly.
"Indeed, the corpse of the Kunpeng Supreme Emperor was refined by me. It was Slaughter Heavenly Lord who personally anointed my crown, while imparting to me the true essence of nineteen great slaughter techniques. The three great Heavenly Lords, Chaos, Eternity, and Disaster, also simultaneously anointed my crown, imparting various wondrous methods, causing me to shed my mortal body and exchange my bones. If you want to kill me, I'm afraid it won't be easy either. Moreover, I am following the Heavenly Lord's will this time to join hands with you to deal with Fang Han. You are also one of the Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Court."
Meng Shaobai was calm and composed, but his eyes slightly paid attention to that massive "Coffin of Heavenly Burial" beneath Hua Tiandu.
"It is true that I am one of the Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Court, but this is no longer the era of Fortune Immortal King." Hua Tiandu's gaze was cold and sinister. "The numerous Heavenly Lords of the Heavenly Court also desire this Coffin of Heavenly Burial of mine. Do you think I would seek the tiger's skin with them?"
"Anyway, I have said all I have to say." Meng Shaobai knew at this moment that he could not persuade Hua Tiandu. Suddenly, with a flash, his entire body vanished completely.
And at the place where he was, a large hand suppressed down viciously, yet struck nothing.
It was actually Hua Tiandu taking action against him. Fortunately, he was alert and escaped immediately, otherwise he would have suffered a deadly blow.
"Despicable, he escaped rather quickly." Hua Tiandu did not succeed in one strike and did not pursue either.
Meng Shaobai's voice transmitted from the air: "Hua Tiandu, you are vicious indeed, but I still must tell you, Fang Han is heading toward the Ancient Pill Realm. Once he enters within and cultivates into a Heavenly Lord, we will all have to die. In addition, Huangfu Bi'an still colluded with several Heavenly Lord powerhouses and went to guard the Ancient Pill Realm, killing Fang Han upon sight. If you go, perhaps there will be a trace of an opportunity."
"Meng Shaobai, consider yourself fast at running. Otherwise, relying on your tiny bit of ability, pinching you to death would be as easy as flipping my hand. A useless thing, comparing yourself to me?" Hua Tiandu waved his large sleeve, shattering these voices. "A piece of trash who solely relies on a Heavenly Lord infusing power into you will never be able to peep into the true Dao of the Heavenly Lord."
While speaking, he and the Coffin of Heavenly Burial beneath him also vanished completely, seemingly truly heading toward the Ancient Pill Realm.
Meng Shaobai was currently standing in another stretch of void, his face angry, but then he calmed down, displaying monstrous murderous intent. He knew that although he was tyrannical now, he was not Hua Tiandu's match: "Hua Tiandu, just make me angry. My anger will transform into murderous intent, the greater the anger, the greater the murderous intent; I will break through the Dao of Slaughter. This time in the Pill Realm's winds and clouds, I will grasp the opportunity and advance to a true Heavenly Lord. When Fang Han uses the Key of the Pill Realm to open the portal of the Pill Realm, loopholes will appear in the Pill Realm portal, and many people will enter… I can also enter! When that time comes, the slumbering Fortune Divine Pill in the Pill Realm, I only need to obtain one! One piece and I can advance to a Supreme Heavenly Lord. Of course, the slumbering Lord of the Pill Realm has the greatest value. My target is the body of this Lord of the Pill Realm. Once obtained, whoever Hua Tiandu, whoever Fang Han, all of them die for me, die for me right now!"
Meng Shaobai's flames of anger burned through the sky.
In the blink of an eye, he also vanished completely.
Hongmeng Hall.
At this time, Fang Han could be said to be truly perfected. The factions in the secular world, and his current factions, were all gathered together. The power of the entire Epoch Gate was expanding, changing with each passing day. The heaven vein origin energy in the Hongmeng Hall was abundant, and every disciple could advance very quickly. Furthermore, the territory within the Hongmeng Hall was extremely large, even containing some minor worlds, which bred demon beasts and demonic beasts as places for disciples to temper themselves.
Time within the Hongmeng Hall had also been accelerated; an hour outside was ten thousand years inside.
On the way to the portal of the Ancient Pill Realm, Fang Han constantly comprehended and cultivated, deducing his magical power to the pinnacle. The Epoch Divine Array operated to perfection time and time again. Various magic treasures and Ancient Emperors devoured previously were all cohered out afresh, scattered again, and refined again. At the same time, he urged the Minor Destiny Technique, revolving it within himself time and time again to wash himself.
Through this bout of ritual refinement, Fang Han's body increasingly carried a flavor of transcending heaven and earth, transcending the Great Dao. Every particle of the Crystal Divine Kingdoms in his whole body was constantly evolving the myriads of worlds in the heavens.
During the process of cultivation, his very own strength became more and more solidified, more and more tyrannical. Suddenly, an extremely tyrannical treasure light charged to the celestial vault of the Hongmeng Hall, onto many gray and dim array diagrams.
Immediately, some array diagrams that originally could not be urged all began to operate.
Many functions of the Hongmeng Hall were opened once again.
One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred array diagrams represented the ultimate restrictive spells of the Hongmeng Hall. All of them could be urged, capable of resisting the attacks of an Immortal King! A strike from a Fortune Divine Artifact. Back then when Daoist Hongmeng urged this hall, the giant axe Fortune Divine Artifact of the Primordial Holy King could not chop it.
