Within the auroral band, it was inherently incomparably dangerous, belonging to one of the absolute death zones of the Heaven Realm. The surging frantic tide of aurora could directly melt an Ancient Emperor, and the baleful beasts inside were even more formidable, equivalent to Heaven Lord cultivation above the Ancient Emperor realm. Relying on their innate geographical advantage, unless it was a supreme realm at the Heavenly Lord level that could subdue them, anyone else wanting to catch them would only find one word: death.
The death zones of the Heaven Realm were varied and extremely perilous. Who knew how many people ignorant of good and bad had vainly lost their lives.
If they did not have the Hongmeng Hall, out of the entire sect of the Epoch Gate, probably hardly any would come out alive.
Of course, Fang Han's current cultivation was already infinitely close to the Heavenly Lord realm. Unleashing three hundred times the combat power, his attack power even roughly equaled a Heavenly Lord.
His Epoch Divine Array had just advanced again earlier.
Directly sealing a Heaven Lord took no effort at all. Moreover, wasn't he also coordinating with the power of the Hongmeng Hall?
Following that, the Hongmeng Hall roamed amidst the endless and boundless auroral band ocean, sailing towards the Pill Realm. Yet Fang Han treated it as leisure cultivation, constantly operating the Epoch Divine Array, slaying and sealing massive baleful beasts within the auroral ocean. Then, he casually tossed them to the elders of the Epoch Gate under his command, sealing them into their own weapons and magic treasures.
Light flashed.
One King Grade Immortal Artifact after another was born.
In this auroral band ocean, the massive baleful beasts cruising about were extremely numerous. Being casually sealed by Fang Han, by the time they shuttled to the edge of the auroral band, over a hundred King Grade Immortal Artifacts were directly born.
Some core figures of the Epoch Gate, such as Emperor Yu, the seven great Heaven and Earth Same Lifespan Emperors, and some other sect masters of Supreme Great Sects who had come to depend on them, at this very moment, had their entire bodies equipped with King Grade Immortal Artifacts. Uniformly, their armors, rings, weapons, and even boots were King Grade Immortal Artifacts.
The combat power of every single person skyrocketed.
Fang Han was brimming with confidence. Once he entered the Pill Realm and cultivated into a Heavenly Lord, the numerous experts of the Epoch Gate he founded, condensed together, would stand as equals against the Heavenly Court, becoming the fourth major faction of the Heaven Realm, rivaling the Heavenly Court, Truth Holy Land, and Origin Dynasty.
In truth, the strength of the numerous experts currently within the Epoch Gate was already no less than the Heavenly Court's, and perhaps even surpassed it. However, for a sect to truly see who held the core command, it still depended on having a Supreme Heavenly Lord.
A sect without a Heavenly Lord, no matter how tyrannical, was just tofu dregs. They could be on the verge of destruction at any time.
"We are finally out of this auroral band, look!"
Amidst the rumbling sailing, the people within the Hongmeng Hall suddenly saw the bright light ahead abruptly vanish. Following that, a medicinal fragrance transmitted in from the outside; they had actually arrived at an immense plane.
This plane had a vast world. Everywhere were thick, ancient trees, stretch connected to stretch. These ancient trees permeated the air, their branches and leaves completely sealing off the entire plane.
With one glance, Fang Han saw through to the depths of this ancient tree plane, where an ancient portal stood tall. It was precisely the entrance to the portal of the Ancient Pill Realm.
However, those ancient trees, each and every one was deeply rooted into the void. It was unknown how long their branches and leaves were; every branch and leaf was heavily like a divine whip, capable of striking and exploding an Emperor across space.
"These are all Sal Ancient Trees, trees of the immemorial God of War, their lethality extremely tyrannical. They were planted by the Lord of the Ancient Pill Realm at the entrance of the Pill Realm, forming a plane." Linglong looked at these ancient trees, speaking with lingering fear: "These Sal Ancient Trees have been nurtured by the Pill Realm's origin energy for billions of trillions of years. Although they cannot be compared to a Heavenly Lord, combined together, they are fully capable of resisting the invasion of a Heavenly Lord. Once, the War King Heavenly Lord, Mu Yehuang, came here and was trapped. Only by completely unleashing the heaven-shaking, earth-shattering divine ability of the Seven Styles of Judgement unified into one did he break away from here. Unfortunately, he did not open the gate of the Pill Realm."
"Linglong, you ascended into the Heaven Realm, and although you have been cultivating in the Hongmeng Hall all along, you sure know a lot about the allusions of the Heaven Realm."
Fang Han drove the Hongmeng Hall to hover outside this plane without acting rashly. Instead, he observed this plane planted with Sal Ancient Trees, seemingly trying to figure out how to enter within.
Suddenly, he grabbed with a large hand, conjuring a palm fully the size of the Ancient City of the Central State, and snatched toward this plane.
Just as the palm permeated into the plane, killing intent violently erupted instantly within it, boiling for myriad antiquities. Inside, the boundless and limitless branches and leaves of the Sal Ancient Trees suddenly flew out, continuously whipping and lashing against the palm.
"Bang, bang, bang…"… The endless and inexhaustible attacks were practically equivalent to a Heavenly Lord, whipping Fang Han's palm until it exploded, transforming into the most purely immaculate origin energy.
"Indeed a plane that even Heavenly Lords must dread."
Retracting his origin energy, Fang Han was secretly alarmed. A clump of green light swirled on his hand, releasing a powerful lethality from within. This was the killing intent of the Sal Ancient Trees. The palm that was just whipped until it exploded was conjured from his origin energy, not his actual original body. However, he also saw from this that the lethality of the Sal Ancient Trees within the plane was indeed tyrannical, already reaching a degree that Heavenly Lords dreaded.
"The stronger, the better. If it is stronger, the Ancient Pill Realm can serve as our dao arena even more." A smile appeared on Fang Han's face. That clump of green light flew into a key on his hand, and immediately it was subdued, obediently dispersing. "This Key of the Ancient Pill Realm is indeed extraordinarily outstanding. For me to grasp this key means I am the inheritor of the Pill Realm. The Sal Ancient Trees will not attack me, and entering into the Pill Realm will be as easy as flipping my hand."
So it turned out that Fang Han's palm strike just now was to probe a bit, while simultaneously snatching the killing intent of the Sal Ancient Trees to see if it would be restrained by the Key of the Pill Realm. He never acted recklessly when doing things; instead, he would always toss a stone to clear the path, ensure foolproof safety, and then make his plans.
Calculated by his current Dao practice, it could be described as absolutely foolproof.
"Fortunately, this Key of the Moment can indeed restrain the various restrictive spells of the Pill Realm. Let us enter within now. Once you truly grasp the Pill Realm and open the Pill Realm portal, the Sal Ancient Trees in the outer plane will become even more formidable. Paired with the Hongmeng Hall, there is no need to say more." Linglong Immortal Venerable also carried some anticipation.
"Let's go! Enter within!"
Fang Han spurted out a mouthful of origin energy. Instantly, the Key of the Moment in his palm radiantly bloomed with light, actually wrapping up the entire Hongmeng Hall, and charged into this plane of Sal Ancient Trees. Indeed, with the protection of the Key of the Moment, Fang Han and the others did not suffer any attacks. They smoothly charged into the depths of the plane just like that, arriving in front of that massive, ancient Pill Realm portal entwined with vines.
The portal of the Pill Realm had the color of stone. It was natural, without the slightest trace of artificial chiseling, seemingly formed by nature. The edges and corners on it were irregular. The mottled aura left behind by the passage of time lay on the stone door. Strips of seals emitted an aura capable of destroying the heavens. It was the aura sealed by the Lord of the Ancient Pill Realm using his life. Even if a Heavenly Lord were to attack it, they would suffer a counterattack and be heavily injured.
Since ancient times, Heavenly Lords who schemed for the treasures of the Ancient Pill Realm were not a small number. Even those Heavenly Lords like Thunder Emperor, Eternity, Chaos, Disaster, and Slaughter had harbored ideas about it, but all returned without success. Only by finding the Key of the Pill Realm could one enter within.
As soon as Fang Han descended in front of the portal, he saw a keyhole on the portal, exactly corresponding to the Key of the Moment. Once the key was inserted into it, the Pill Realm, completely covered in dust within history for a very long time, would open and display itself before the people of the world.
Taking a long, deep breath, Fang Han's mood thoroughly calmed down. The moment the gate of the Ancient Pill Realm opened meant that the time for him to advance to Heavenly Lord was about to arrive.
The moment to glorify the myriad worlds of the heavens was about to arrive.
For some unknown reason, his mind grew increasingly calm, somewhat seemingly as if he had seen the Gate of Eternal Life existing deep in the Heaven Realm, or even in a higher world.
Click.
With a shake of his hand, the Key of the Moment in his hand inserted into that keyhole of the Pill Realm's gate.
Light swirled, all sounds fell completely silent, and the entire plane's space-time lost its color. A brief moment later, the portal of the Pill Realm rumbled and vibrated. All the Sal Ancient Trees of the plane began to boil, seemingly cheering and leaping for joy, in wild ecstasy, yet also seemingly screaming hysterically.
A sliver of a gap was opened. Instantly, majestic and mighty pill energy washed out. The Hongmeng Hall was just like a reef standing in a torrential flood, being struck until it clattered and banged, on the verge of being torn completely to shreds by the huge waves of pill energy.
The pill energy crashed into those Sal Ancient Trees. All the ancient trees grew again, and even more ancient trees popped out from within.
The plane surrounding the Pill Realm's grand gate had more and more tyrannical magical power. However, Fang Han, possessing the Key of the Pill Realm, sensed a will originating from the Pill Realm beginning to permeate into his body. Within his body's Epoch Divine Array, the civilized historical chapters of the Dao of Pills began to expand.
At this very moment, he was precisely like someone receiving an inheritance.
"Bang!"
Finally, that gate of the Pill Realm opened entirely, and the key flew out, falling back into Fang Han's hand. No one could snatch it away. This key had been washed by him using the Minor Destiny Technique, severing its destiny. Even the Lord of the Pill Realm would likely be unable to take it back. Relying on this Key of the Moment, he truly obtained the inheritance of the Pill Realm.
With the gate of the Pill Realm opened, the vast and boundless heaven and earth inside became visible. In the sky were thousands of massive blazing suns. Every blazing sun was not a true sun, but one powerful medicinal pill after another.
Aside from this, Fang Han also saw many lofty mountain peaks, long rivers, and oceans within the Pill Realm; these were all transformed from pill energy.
There were even incomparably massive pagodas that looked like Eight部 Pagodas. These pagodas were all transformed from medicinal pills.
King Grade Immortal Pills and Sacred Grade Immortal Pills were practically everywhere. In the Pill Realm, they were existences just like mud and sand.
Fang Han even saw many bright moons and blazing suns in the sky. The power of those medicinal pills was not beneath that of a Heaven Lord, and some could even rival Linglong.
However, within this Pill Realm, there was not the slightest aura of vitality. Those medicinal pills had completely lost their spirituality and will. It seemed that in the immemorial era, a kind of power suddenly bombarded in, killing all the medicinal pills completely. Now, of all the remaining medicinal pills, only the most purely immaculate medicinal properties were left.
"In the distance is…"
At this time, Fang Han cast his gaze toward the deepest part of the Pill Realm. What first entered his eyes was an immeasurably massive pagoda. That pagoda displayed a dark yellow color, surrounded by countless golden lamps, tassels, and canopies. At the top of that pagoda sat a person. This person had a tall stature, like a heavenly god descending to earth. Surges of Heavenly Lord aura emanated out, making people prostrate themselves in worship.
"This is… a Heavenly Lord transformed by a Fortune Divine Pill!"
Rumble!
Suddenly, from outside the Pill Realm, powerful Heavenly Lord auras charged in. Unexpectedly, there were Heavenly Lords who took advantage of Fang Han opening the Pill Realm to charge in as well, wanting to share a slice of the pie, or even to kill Fang Han and occupy the Pill Realm.
