The "Death Heavenly Monarch" actually appeared.
He was one of the ancient Heavenly Monarchs of the Truth Sacred Land, rumored to have lived through five or six primal chaos epochs. Having survived so many heaven and earth shattering grand tribulations, he was absolutely a terrifying figure, not in the slightest beneath Calamity, Eternity, Slaughter, and Chaos. His appearance immediately posed the most serious threat to Fang Han.
However, Fang Han was completely unafraid.
Facing that human figure wrapped in faint deathly energy, with a single breath, Fang Han mobilized the vital energy of the entire Dan Realm. Entering with full force through the Hongmeng Hall and the Heavenly Burial Coffin, he bombarded towards the Death Heavenly Monarch.
A faint smile remained constantly on the Death Heavenly Monarch's face. With a movement of his fingers and a sweep of his large sleeve, he blocked the Heavenly Burial Coffin, and streams of vital energy shot separately into the bodies of Miao Li Heavenly Monarch and War King Heavenly Monarch.
The bodies of the two great Heavenly Monarchs, injured by Fang Han, began to recover.
"Fang Han, the moment you cultivated to a Heavenly Monarch, you wanted to kill Heavenly Monarch experts of the same realm; that is truly too much. Furthermore, you killed many people of our Truth Sacred Land. Those Heaven Lords were all geniuses, with absolute hope of advancing to Heavenly Monarch. You stifled all the hopes of my Truth Sacred Land. My arrival today is not only to rescue all the Heavenly Monarchs, but also to stifle the hopes of your Epoch Gate, to kill all the disciples of your Epoch Gate, and naturally, to behead you as well."
The Death Heavenly Monarch continuously plucked with both hands, as if playing an ancient zither in the void. Movements of death flowed out from it, twining around and bombarding the Heavenly Burial Coffin.
Inside the Heavenly Burial Coffin, the thumping sounds grew louder and louder; it was Huangfu Bi'an, imprisoned within, about to break out of his predicament.
And inside the Hongmeng Hall, Yi Heavenly Monarch, locked down by iron chains, also struggled fiercely, about to break the restrictions and emerge.
As for Hua Tiandu, his entire body was enveloped by the movement of death. He flew out at once, landing within the halo of the Death Heavenly Monarch, escaping a tribulation and avoiding being killed by Fang Han.
The offensive of the Death Heavenly Monarch was extremely sharp, the sounds of his void playing becoming denser and denser. Finally, it condensed into a Spear of Death, piercing towards Fang Han.
Fang Han's expression remained unmoving, still without the slightest change. His hands shifted, and suddenly, six ancient characters appeared on his palms: Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum!
These six ancient characters revolved continuously, subsequently driving another nine ancient characters: Descend, Soldier, Fight, Person, All, Array, Arrange, At, Front.
Six ancient Buddhist characters, nine ancient Daoist characters, all circulated from the Gate of Eternal Life, miraculous characters from an unknown number of epochs ago.
All of them had been acquired by Fang Han's hands. Every single character contained earth-shattering supreme secrets. Upon ascending to Heavenly Monarch, Fang Han had thoroughly comprehended all of them.
With the six great characters in his left hand and the nine great characters in his right, he clashed with the Death Heavenly Monarch in the blink of an eye. The moment the six characters and nine characters displayed their might, they shattered the long spear condensed from the movement of death to pieces.
"Six-Character True Words, Nine-Character True Words!"
Seeing this, the Death Heavenly Monarch's expression changed slightly, "These two sets of supreme mystical characters from the Daoist and Buddhist schools are both in your hands."
"Hongmeng Hall! Heavenly Burial Coffin!"
Fang Han wholly ignored the Death Heavenly Monarch's words. Amid the conflict, he spat out a mouthful of vital energy. The power of the two magical treasures rapidly climbed. At the same time, he also brought forth his Key of the Instant, opening the entire restricting array of the Dan Realm to fight alongside him.
Under the operation of the Key of the Instant, deep within the Dan Realm, the golden tomb of the Master of the Dan Realm also began to emit light, filling the entire Dan Realm.
"Death Heavenly Monarch, since you have come, then be buried in the Dan Realm as well. I will not hesitate to kill all of you."
As Fang Han spoke, the portal of the Dan Realm slowly began to close.
He actually intended to catch a turtle in a jar, enclosing even the Death Heavenly Monarch within the Dan Realm. Now that Fang Han had obtained the inheritance of the Ancient Dan Realm and ascended to the realm of a Heavenly Monarch, the more time passed, the more familiar he became with the Dan Realm. Inside the Dan Realm, it was his main battlefield, and nobody could defeat him.
"Hm? The tomb of the Ancient Master of the Dan Realm has opened? The portal of the Dan Realm is closing?"
The Death Heavenly Monarch instantly saw Fang Han's sinister intentions. His eyes held deep apprehension towards the tomb of the Master of the Dan Realm. Suddenly, his body rapidly retreated.
The moment Fang Han brought out the six characters and the nine characters simultaneously, the Death Heavenly Monarch knew that defeating Fang Han would not be an easy task.
He developed a thought of retreating.
In the instant his body bounded at high speed, taking advantage of the moment before the Dan Realm portal had closed, he leapt out fiercely, turning into a kingdom of death and disappearing to the horizon.
However, Miao Li Heavenly Monarch and War King Heavenly Monarch Muye Huang, whom he had rescued, did not have such good luck. Being half a step too slow, just as they were about to flee, the main gate of the Dan Realm closed, thoroughly leaving them inside the Dan Realm.
Nevertheless, Hua Tiandu was taken away by the Death Heavenly Monarch.
A massive slaughter slowly drew to a close with the conclusion of the four great Heavenly Monarchs being left in the Dan Realm, and Hua Tiandu being taken away by the Death Heavenly Monarch.
The Death Heavenly Monarch entered the Dan Realm, took Hua Tiandu, and apart from that, gained absolutely zero benefits.
Meanwhile, the "Nine-Character Dao Talisman" on Hua Tiandu's body and the Heavenly Burial Coffin were all seized by Fang Han. His value was also completely lost, and in the future, there would never again be the possibility of him contending with Fang Han.
However, Hua Tiandu possessed the secrets of the Creation Immortal King, which were of great use to the Truth Sacred Land.
Fang Han looked at the slowly closing portal of the Dan Realm, and at the War King Heavenly Monarch and Miao Li Heavenly Monarch who had not barged out, extending a cold and detached voice: "The Death Heavenly Monarch could not save you either. Now, will you kneel and await my judgment, or be killed by me? Choose one yourselves."
"Fang Han, do not bully others too far! We are supreme Heavenly Monarchs, Kings of Heaven, existences transcending heaven and earth. If the sun and moon are extinguished, we will not extinguish; if heaven and earth decay, we will not decay. You actually demand that we kneel?" War King Heavenly Monarch Muye Huang's body trembled somewhat, but subsequently calmed down, entering a state of neither joy nor sorrow.
"Like this, you choose to die?"
At this moment, Fang Han himself held a Heavenly Monarch cultivation base, possessed the Hongmeng Hall and the Heavenly Burial Coffin, and was within the Dan Realm. Suppressing Muye Huang and Miao Li Heavenly Monarch was not a difficult matter; naturally, he was secure in the knowledge that he had strong backing.
"Fang Han, are you going to fight us to the death?" Miao Li Heavenly Monarch roared.
"Fight to the death? Outside, you would have the qualifications, and in a situation where I did not have the Hongmeng Hall or the Heavenly Burial Coffin, you would also have the qualifications to speak these words. But right now, there is no need to speak them! Power of the Dan Realm! Thorough imprisonment!" Fang Han did not even need to make a move. Suddenly, an earth-shattering pressure burst forth from the entire Dan Realm. Chains appeared out of thin air, sweeping towards Muye Huang and Miao Li Heavenly Monarch.
Muye Huang leapt up, attempting to evade, but Fang Han struck out a palm across space, blasting him flying backward repeatedly, and subsequently thoroughly imprisoning him. Chains traversed the void, binding him in the center of the Dan Realm.
Naturally, that Miao Li Heavenly Monarch also could not escape the fate of being bound. Forced to retreat continuously by Fang Han's successive strikes, the restricting array of the Dan Realm then thoroughly twined around him.
Up to this point.
Four great Heavenly Monarchs, War King Heavenly Monarch Muye Huang, Huangfu Bi'an, Miao Li Heavenly Monarch, and Yi Heavenly Monarch, had all been captured.
In a single day, four great Heavenly Monarchs were captured and sealed. If this matter spread, it would likely cause an earthquake like a mountain collapse or a tsunami in the Heaven Realm, and even across the myriad heavens! Countless races would extol Fang Han's illustrious name, and throughout the heavens, the title of the Epoch Heavenly Monarch would shock everyone.
However, although these four great Heavenly Monarchs were sealed, Fang Han had not yet decided how to deal with them. The first step, of course, would be directly refining them and extracting the Heavenly Monarch origin to inject into the bodies of Yu Huang and Linglong, causing their magic power to greatly increase to assault the Heavenly Monarch realm.
Nevertheless, even with Heavenly Monarch origin and refining a Heavenly Monarch, cultivating to the realm of a Heavenly Monarch was not an easy matter. Looking at Hua Tiandu would let one know; he was a Heavenly Monarch in his past life, acquired his past life's corpse in this life, and possessed the Heavenly Burial Coffin along with numerous magical treasures, yet he still had not managed to cultivate to a Heavenly Monarch. Forcing his way to the Heavenly Monarch throne relying on the Nine-Character Dao Talisman was not his own ability, and upon its extraction, his realm dropped. Relying on one's own ability was layered with difficulties; only someone like Fang Han could break through in one swoop.
Fang Han's calculating abilities now had no match in the world; all sorts of things were within his calculations. He deduced that even if Linglong and Yu Huang swallowed the origin of a Heavenly Monarch, advancing to Heavenly Monarch would still require long periods of comprehension and was not an easy thing.
Still, giving them the Heavenly Monarch origin to refine was an imperative matter.
With a wave of his hand, Linglong, Yu Huang, and the others slowly descended, stepping out from the Hongmeng Hall. Looking at Fang Han, they had complex expressions while a sense of reverence arose spontaneously in their hearts. Simultaneously, Fang Han felt that their psychological connection to him had grown much more distant.
The gap between a Heavenly Monarch and a Paramount Immortal was so vast that the distance could not be measured. Not to mention the disparity in power, just singular point alone was enough: after the shattering of heaven and earth, Fang Han would survive, awaiting the next round of creating heaven and earth, re-deducing all sorts of stories, whereas they, no matter how formidable, would fall into the dust of history, thoroughly dying, unable to be saved by anyone.
An Immortal King also could not save an ordinary person. Because during the heaven and earth shattering grand tribulation, no magical treasure could protect another; a person's life was closely bound to heaven and earth.
Even a supreme expert, hiding within the Hongmeng Hall when heaven and earth began to be destroyed, would sense it and also experience the five decays of heaven and man. Then fall and die; this was an undeniable fact, as well as a truth. An Immortal King could not save them.
An Immortal King could only look after himself, unable to protect his subordinates, let alone a Heavenly Monarch.
The shattering of heaven and earth was precisely this cruel. Once the final moment of destruction arrived, all existences who were not Heavenly Monarchs would age and perish outright. This too was a rule, the fairest law.
At this very moment, Fang Han suddenly felt a wave of loneliness and isolation. A Heavenly Monarch, surviving epoch after epoch, while all friends and descendants would dissipate; what exactly was life for?
