The cultivators across the myriad heavens all knew the significance of a Heavenly Monarch.
The ultimate goal of every cultivator was Heavenly Monarch. But for generations upon generations, only those who possessed invincible great luck, and who could even obtain ancient secret treasures or inherit the luck of other Heavenly Monarchs, could ultimately ascend to this realm dreamed of by the cultivators of all the myriad heavens.
The current Fang Han had reached the realm everyone dreamed of.
All the cultivators, disciples, elders, and various core experts of the Epoch Gate felt incomparably safe in this instant. Their desperate life-and-death struggle had finally yielded returns. A Heavenly Monarch could truly protect them until the end of heaven and earth.
Fang Han's eyes pierced the vault of heaven!
Fang Han's hands tore apart the heavens.
Fang Han's aura made all things submit.
"Today, everyone who besieged me must die. Not a single one shall leave; all will be buried in this Dan Realm."
Fang Han awakened, grabbed the Hongmeng Hall, and activated fully fifty thousand formation diagrams inside, evolving it into an existence the size of a Heavenly Court. Suspended at the very top of the Dan Realm, the rolling vital energy and various pills at the top of the Dan Realm poured into the Hongmeng Hall like rivers flowing into the sea.
The "Key of the Instant" in Fang Han's hand turned continuously. Under its activation, all the vital energy and forbidden arrays of the entire Dan Realm began to gather around him as the center.
At the core of the Dan Realm, the clouds and mist scattered, and one could faintly see a massive tomb appear. This tomb was bright yellow in color, seeming as if cast in gold, with several large characters faintly visible on it: Tomb of the Master of the Dan Realm.
It was actually the tomb of the ancient Master of the Dan Realm.
One could imagine with their head what kind of existences were inside that tomb. Clearly, the corpse of the ancient Master of the Dan Realm was right inside.
The ancient Master of the Dan Realm was an existence approaching an Immortal King, a figure rumored to have comprehended the final step. How many times more powerful than an ordinary Heavenly Monarch he was was unknown; it was a realm comparable to the Holy King of Finality.
How many benefits would there be after obtaining the corpse of such a figure?
In an instant, "Hua Tiandu", "Yi Heavenly Monarch", "Huangfu Bi'an", "War King Heavenly Monarch Muye Huang", and "Miao Li Heavenly Monarch", who were originally furious after seeing Fang Han ascend to Heavenly Monarch and preparing for a massive slaughter, immediately stared with straightened eyes upon seeing the "Tomb of the Master of the Dan Realm" faintly appearing at the core of the Dan Realm.
"Are we all going to die one by one?"
Looking at Fang Han newly ascended to Heavenly Monarch, Hua Tiandu's heart was filled with jealousy and envy, feeling thoroughly unpleasant, but a vicious thought rose from the depths of his heart in an instant, "Even if you ascended to a supreme Heavenly Monarch, you are still only one person, not our opponent. With so many of us Heavenly Monarchs, are we afraid of you?"
"Kill him, seize the Hongmeng Hall, and capture the tomb of the ancient Master of the Dan Realm. The entire Dan Realm will be ours." Huangfu Bi'an roared: "He only just ascended to Heavenly Monarch. His magic power is still shallow and simply cannot compare to veteran Heavenly Monarchs like us. So many of us are fully capable of directly suppressing him!"
"It's better that he ascended to Heavenly Monarch. By suppressing him, we can refine him into a true Saint Grade Immortal Artifact, kill!" Yi Heavenly Monarch and War King Heavenly Monarch Muye Huang roared.
"The Heavenly Monarch origin can exactly allow our Barbarian Race's seven Holy Artifacts to restore their former glory!" Miao Li Heavenly Monarch also roared repeatedly. With a movement of his hands, he launched a lethal attack towards Fang Han.
Five existences equivalent to the Heavenly Monarch level once again launched fierce offensives at Fang Han!
"Is that so? Perhaps you do not know how terrifying I am after ascending to Heavenly Monarch! The Dao of Epoch…" Fang Han propped his hands upwards. The Epoch Divine Formation inside his body finally achieved great completion. All magical treasures merged into the chapters of the history of civilization, yet could also be separately restored. The massive Heavenly Monarch origin in his body surged wave after wave.
Swish!
With just one step, he crossed over right in front of Hua Tiandu and threw a punch. With this step, he crossed the ancient spatial long river of time so that it utterly ceased to exist. One punch destroyed eternity. One could visibly see with the naked eye that his power, wave after wave, generated outward, permeating into the planes beyond the Dan Realm, causing plane after plane to collapse entirely.
"Ah!"
Hua Tiandu was suddenly startled. The pores all over his body tightly closed up, almost feeling as if he had been targeted by the most ferocious beast of primeval times. Even breathing was difficult, and his heart almost suffocated to a halt.
He only saw Fang Han's figure pouncing fiercely. The punching wind vibrated, and that force directly tore the skin on the surface of his body. Intense piercing pain transmitted from his mind to all the limbs and bones of his body.
"Heavenly Burial Coffin, Burying the Heavens, Awakening of the Immortal King, A Dream of Creation."
In an instant, Hua Tiandu judged that he simply could not withstand this punch from Fang Han. Although he had now received the enhancements of many Heavenly Monarchs and possessed Heavenly Monarch combat power, he was still not a Heavenly Monarch himself. In the past, he was already not Fang Han's match. Now that Fang Han had ascended to Heavenly Monarch, his power had increased more than a hundredfold.
It was entirely enough to tear his physical body, the corpse of Heavenly Monarch Hua, apart with bare hands.
At this critical juncture, the Heavenly Burial Coffin in his hand flew up, horizontally blocking in front of him, and withstood Fang Han's fist.
"Bang!"
Fang Han's punch struck the "Heavenly Burial Coffin". This vermilion divine coffin suddenly erupted with intense forbidden arrays, filling the air and sweeping toward Fang Han's fist.
"The Great Dao is One, the Epoch is Unique, the Fall of Creation!"
Fang Han gave a long cry. His body advanced again, delivering another punch. The Dao of the Epoch, the birth, death, and transition of the history of civilizations numerous as the sands of the Ganges, actually struck the forbidden arrays on the "Heavenly Burial Coffin" until they snapped inch by inch. Finally, removing the false to retain the true, a single punch directly struck onto the main body of the vermilion coffin.
The main body of the vermilion coffin vibrated endlessly, as if an Imperial Heaven Bell had been struck by an immemorial divine mountain. Sound waves scattered outward once again, shocking the physical body of Hua Tiandu behind it until it cracked open at once.
"Pfft!"
Hua Tiandu's physical body cracked open. His body continuously retreated backward, and he spurted out large mouthfuls of fresh blood. No longer able to hold onto the "Heavenly Burial Coffin", this sarcophagus forged by the Creation Immortal King actually flew up into the empty air, slipping from his hands and reaching high into the sky of the Dan Realm.
Knocked flying by Fang Han with a single punch.
"Hua Tiandu has lost this Heavenly Burial Coffin. All of his divine sense was actually shattered by a single punch, causing this sarcophagus to lose its master, and it has now become an ownerless object."
"Capture it! This Heavenly Burial Coffin is also a good item. But first, let us join forces and kill Fang Han."
"Decapitate. Seven Styles of Adjudication. No One Yields Eternal Life."…
Seeing this scene, Yi Heavenly Monarch, War King Heavenly Monarch, Huangfu Bi'an, and Miao Li Heavenly Monarch simultaneously pushed out a palm toward Fang Han in a joint attack, while simultaneously extending their massive hands to grab and capture the Heavenly Burial Coffin.
Four Heavenly Monarchs, true Heavenly Monarchs, joining forces in a single palm strike—exactly how ferocious was it? No one could know. They only saw that wherever the palm force went, everything in the Dan Realm turned into chaotic vital energy, and then turned into earth, water, fire, and wind. Various law fragments mixed together, and within it, various immemorial divine Dao lethal moves appeared: thousands of troops and tens of thousands of horses, golden spears and giant axes, bombarding toward Fang Han to kill him.
"These attacks have absolutely no effect on me! You still want to seize the Heavenly Burial Coffin?"
Facing these attacks, Fang Han's body trembled, spinning like a top. The ancient divine formation spun, and his body turned into a portal, exuding a tremendous suction force. Those attacks were all sucked into the portal one after another, disappearing entirely.
Following that, Fang Han soared into the sky. A massive hand, entirely capable of crushing the Heaven Realm, appeared from within the portal, blasted away all the palms of the four Heavenly Monarchs, firmly grabbed that Heavenly Burial Coffin, and captured it into his hand.
In an instant, the changes were like the flight of a falcon or the running of a hare, a white stallion flitting past a crack. The divine artifact, the Heavenly Burial Coffin, had already changed hands, falling from Hua Tiandu into Fang Han's hands.
However, the Heavenly Burial Coffin was inevitably the sarcophagus of the Creation Immortal King, possessing the unyielding and immortal instinctive will. Having fallen into the palm of Fang Han's hand, it was still continuously expanding, inflating, wanting to blast apart Fang Han's massive hand and charge out.
"He cannot subdue this Heavenly Burial Coffin. Kill him."
"Great opportunity!"
"Boat of Bi'an, come out, stepping towards transcendence. Bi'an Divine Fist, Heavenly Monarch Origin, Shattering the Void."
"Sovereign Sacred Law, in Heaven and Earth, I am the only sovereign. The sarcophagus of the Creation Immortal King belongs entirely to me." The four Heavenly Monarchs, without even thinking, unleashed killing strikes at Fang Han. At this exact moment, every single person had disregarded all dignity, thoroughly unleashing their final, earth-shattering trump cards.
Fang Han had already ascended to a Heavenly Monarch. They knew his power, and holding nothing back, they exerted all their hidden, bottom-of-the-box methods.
"Fang Han, you are utterly detestable. This Heavenly Burial Coffin is mine, do you think you can easily snatch it away? Rest assured you will not today." Hua Tiandu was hysterical. Fang Han had snatched the Key of the Dan Realm from his hands and achieved Heavenly Monarch, and now he was going to snatch away the Heavenly Burial Coffin from his hands; this simply drove him almost mad!
Hua Tiandu's massive Heavenly Monarch body began to activate. All of his will, staking everything on a single throw, attacked Fang Han!
"Heavenly Burial Coffin, are you unwilling to succumb to me?"
Fang Han stood high in the sky, transforming from a portal back into himself, grasping the "Heavenly Burial Coffin". His expression was aloof and indifferent. Facing everyone's attacks, he remained entirely unmoving. With a wave of his palm, high in the sky, the Heavenly Court-sized Hongmeng Hall let down streams of Hongmeng vital energy, condensing into a massive eggshell-shaped heavenly canopy, protecting himself within.
Instantly, all the combined attacks of the four Heavenly Monarchs and Hua Tiandu struck upon the Hongmeng vital energy, erupting in massive consecutive tremors. However, Fang Han inside remained steadfast and unmoving. His clothes rustled sharply as an epic hero myth of iron, blood, fire, and lofty spirit manifested from his body.
Fang Han's own strength, his Heavenly Monarch cultivation, coupled with the Hongmeng Hall, had already transcended to an unimaginably extreme degree; even the life-risking strikes of Heavenly Monarchs were unable to shake him.
Under the protection of the Hongmeng vital energy, Fang Han clenched both hands. Only a grand formation was seen surging into that Heavenly Burial Coffin. Instantly, clouds of energy surged violently inside the coffin. Crack, crack… sounds like breaking ice rang out loudly.
Hua Tiandu trembled, spurting out another mouthful of fresh blood. He looked in terror at the Heavenly Burial Coffin in Fang Han's hands, which was no longer expanding but gradually shrinking. This signaled that Fang Han had already refined this coffin.
The Heavenly Burial Coffin truly no longer belonged to him.
The divine object comparable to the Hongmeng Hall had fallen into Fang Han's hands.
