"The heavenly demons broke the seal?" Fang Han turned his eyes to look. Sure enough, high up in the dense demonic qi, thousands upon thousands of heavenly demons lunged down. Densely packed like locusts, every single one emitted eerie and sinister noises, intending to swallow the people of these forty-nine islands clean. He understood the formidability of heavenly demons better than anyone. Each was incredibly cunning, excelled at transformations, could invade human brains, and manipulate spirits. If one lunged down and a person failed to resist even slightly, they would become a walking corpse.
Since the Thunder Emperor Cave Dwelling of these forty-nine islands was a foundation secretly established by Fang Qingxue, he could not let it be destroyed by heavenly demons. If he rescued it, it would be another great merit toward Fang Qingxue, providing him with much to say when facing her in the future.
Thinking of this, Fang Han did not hesitate. Waving both hands, clusters of Wood Sovereign True Qi surged from his body. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into numerous faces resembling both humans and beasts, flying into the sky as fast as lightning, opening their mouths to swallow.
Instantly, hundreds of heavenly demons were swallowed by these human-beast faces. Then, the human-beast faces flew back, returning to Fang Han's body. Those swallowed heavenly demons all entered the Yellow Spring Diagram, undergoing refinement into Biluo Great Pills.
Hundreds of Biluo Great Pills obtained!
The two types of pills of the Yellow Spring Sect, the Blood Pill and the Biluo Great Pill, were both Human-tier pills meant for cultivators to consume. The Blood Pill was a Middle Grade Human-tier pill, on the same level as the Yuhua Sect's Essence Pill, while the Biluo Great Pill was a High Grade Human-tier pill, equivalent to the Life-sustaining Golden Pill. Although Fang Han had committed murder and robbery to obtain three large gourds of the Supreme Grade Human-tier "Origin Infant Pills," using Biluo Great Pills to feed the Asuras was also excellent.
With a single move, Fang Han eradicated hundreds of heavenly demons. Immediately, the rolling dark clouds high in the sky had a massive hole cleared out, and sunlight shone down. The other heavenly demons felt the threat and all swarmed over howling, intending to kill him.
"So formidable!"
Seeing Fang Han display such divine might, those several male and female cultivators were stunned in shock.
They ordinarily fought sparse heavenly demons as well. The strength of every single heavenly demon was above ten galloping fiery horses, equivalent to an Asura. But what made them more terrifying than Asuras was that they were currents of qi, splitting and combining at will, fundamentally unafraid of flying swords.
When ordinary cultivators who had not cultivated to the Divine Ability Realm fought heavenly demons, they all relied on firm willpower to resist the heavenly demons' bewitchment, simultaneously pouring their spirit into their flying swords to slay with sword intent and momentum. It often took over a thousand slashes to thoroughly kill a single heavenly demon.
This was a cultivation method that trained a person's willpower exceedingly well, but it was also extremely dangerous.
On the island, disciples flew up one after another. Some relied on the dharma clothes on their bodies, some followed Wind-Riding Talismans, and some directly stepped on flying swords, all preparing to engage in desperate combat with the heavenly demons, but they discovered Fang Han striking once more.
"Coming right on time! I was just worrying about not finding a massive amount of heavenly demons to refine pills. Furthermore, I have recently been utilizing my true qi to the point of utter perfection, but haven't actually practiced it in real combat. This is just right for real combat practice!" Seeing massive numbers of heavenly demons swarming and howling over, Fang Han was overjoyed. With a long howl, he emitted the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds. The sound reached a hundred miles, and intense sound waves swept the scene. Those heavenly demons lunging down were scattered and dodged in succession.
Fang Han smiled coldly. The Wood Sovereign True Qi struck out again, transforming into even more human-beast faces, devouring those scattered heavenly demons everywhere.
His utilization of true qi had now reached the point of utter perfection. In the past, his true qi could only transform into giant logs, swords, or at most gossamer threads turning into large nets.
But now, after cultivating the World Tree fragment on the sea for so many days, his true qi could change capriciously, transforming into vividly lifelike humans and beasts, undergoing myriad variations, retracting and releasing with ease.
The true qi utilization dharma method of transforming into faces resembling humans and beasts actually borrowed from the Heavenly Lion Great Method. However, he naturally could not turn the Wood Sovereign True Qi into lions, lest others see through the clues.
The Heavenly Lion Great Method required the cooperation of Heavenly Lion Gang Qi to maximize its power. Simulating it with Wood Sovereign True Qi naturally reduced its power, but it was entirely sufficient to deal with heavenly demons.
Having cultivated for so long, although his magic power had not increased much and remained at the strength of over two thousand fiery horses, the lethal power of his entire body's true qi had risen significantly. The current Fang Han could fully take on two of his self from a month ago.
"Hmph! This face has low power, even lower than mine, yet it actually dares to contend against me!" A powerful heavenly demon, possessing nearly twenty horse power, was just about to collide with a true qi face. It let out a cackling shrill laugh, its entire body expanding and transforming into a burly man, executing a demonic art, and viciously striking the face that was trying to swallow it.
However, the moment this true qi face encountered the demonic art, it suddenly altered, slipping smoothly outward to bypass it. Like a long snake, it slipped behind this heavenly demon, opened its mouth again, and with a gulp, swallowed the heavenly demon down. It immediately flew back, entering Fang Han's body, tossing this heavenly demon into the Yellow Spring Diagram.
"How is this possible! This current of true qi clearly only has ten horse power, half my strength, yet it could devour me." This heavenly demon refused to believe it even upon death.
"Good, although these heavenly demons are formidable, the quality of my true qi is extremely high, and the utilization methods are ingenious. I can defeat them with half the power. This round of execution has added quite a few true qi utilization methods for me!" Fang Han's heart was released along with his true qi. Every cluster of true qi contained his will and thoughts.
In a trance, his mind seemed to split into over hundreds of places. The thought in every place commanded and manipulated a cluster of true qi, varying constantly and utilizing it flexibly.
The power of every single heavenly demon was above ten horses. Yet Fang Han only used five or six horse power of true qi to defeat and devour them. The power contained in Fang Han's own true qi now was over two thousand. Each divided cluster carried five or six horse power, or at most no more than ten horse power, thus he entirely divided out over two to three hundred clusters.
However, he still retained a portion, roughly three to four hundred horse power, to protect himself and prevent sudden sneak attacks.
Pfft, pfft, pfft…
In an instant, fully over a thousand heavenly demons were defeated and devoured by the two to three hundred clusters of true qi. Then they transformed into Biluo Great Pills one by one. Originally, Fang Han did not have a single Biluo Pill, but now he instantly gained over a thousand. Taking these pills to the Ever-returning Sea Market to exchange for medicinal materials could fetch quite a bit.
More importantly, this bout of true qi differentiation, using one mind for a hundred tasks, made Fang Han's control over his true qi even more proficient, yielding greater comprehension.
"Haha, Fang Han, you are indeed a genius. To actually be able to divide your mind into over three hundred places, with every place being agile! For an expert of the True Qi Realm, being able to divide the mind into eighty or ninety places is already extremely formidable!"
Inside the Yellow Spring Diagram, seeing Fang Han multitasking, with over three hundred clusters of true qi attacking independently yet being incredibly agile, Yan could not help but tap the rhythm and praise in admiration.
"This is the result of my recent cultivation."
Fang Han's spirit communicated inwards.
"You can actually still divide your spirit to communicate with me!" Yan said in astonishment: "Just how tenacious is your mind?"
Fang Han chuckled but did not speak. Those three hundred clusters of true qi charged, killed, and combined seamlessly. Heavenly demons were devoured and slain one by one, and their origin qi rolled continuously into the Yellow Spring Diagram, causing Yan to be in a frantic rush, refining this heavenly demon origin qi into pills.
When the Physical Body Realm cultivated to the fourth realm, Firmness and Softness, one could multitask, drawing a circle with the left hand and a square with the right. As cultivation deepened later on, a single mind could handle even more tasks.
For a person, being able to divide out more minds signified that their spiritual tempering was more formidable, their potential would be greater, and their achievements would be higher.
While Fang Han was slaughtering the heavenly demon army, in the center of the forty-nine islands, six streaks of lightning suddenly soared up. These six streaks of lightning were not intense, indicating the magic power was not highly powerful, but they were already experts of the Divine Ability Realm. Within the six streaks of lightning, six people appeared, three men and three women, clearly the six envoys of the Thunder Emperor Cave Dwelling's forty-nine islands.
"So formidable! Truly worthy of being a disciple of the Yuhua Sect, this method of utilizing true qi is simply one mind for a hundred tasks! We can at most achieve one mind for thirty-six tasks! Also! Look! Having cultivated to the True Qi Realm, his magic power is actually this vigorous! Three to five times higher than an ordinary disciple! Even for disciples of the Taiyi Sect, the True Qi Realm wouldn't possess magic power this vigorous! He has fully two thousand horse power of divine ability!"
A male envoy roared in shock, unable to believe it: "I don't know how he cultivated that out!"
"Our suppression this time was ineffective, actually allowing heavenly demons to break through the seal. Fortunately Fang Han is here, otherwise the forty-nine islands Thunder Emperor Cave Dwelling would certainly suffer a holocaust. If Eldest Miss Qingxue comes out of seclusion and sees this foundation destroyed, she would definitively not spare us."
A female envoy began to rejoice.
"The situation is not optimistic. The remnant soul of the Water Gu Heavenly Demon Great Demonic King has also escaped! This demonic king formed a Golden Pill, an unparalleled expert equivalent to the seventh realm of the Divine Ability sequence. Although he was heavily injured by the joint efforts of the Demonic Commander and Eldest Miss that day, his soul did not die and could only be sealed. Breaking out this time, even if it is a single trace of a remnant soul, we are not his match, and I am afraid Fang Han will also find it difficult to resist!"
Another envoy expressed his unease.
"Let's go up together, activate the Minor Lightning Spirit Art, assist Fang Han in killing the heavenly demons, and also prevent him from being sneak attacked by formidable characters among the heavenly demons."
The six envoys rode the lightning, speeding over surrounded by it.
None of them had cultivated true qi yet, merely being at the first realm of the Divine Ability sequence, the Magic Power Realm. However, they each had a magic treasure talisman edict on their bodies, which could emit lightning light when spurred by magic power. Although these lightning lights were only as thick as a finger, their lethal power was immense. Almost every flash could kill a heavenly demon.
It was just that these lightning lights could not attack very far distances. The range of their lethal power was only a radius of five thousand steps. Shot beyond five thousand steps, they would dissipate into the air, unlike Fang Han's Wood Sovereign True Qi, which could fetch a person's head from a hundred miles away.
"Everyone be careful, protect the disciples on the island lest they be harmed by the heavenly demons! I can still hold on." Seeing the six people flying over amidst the lightning light, Fang Han knew they were the six envoys of this Thunder Emperor Cave Dwelling, and hastily let out a long howl.
Unless a disciple had cultivated their physical body to "become spirited," they could not remain unbewildered to slay heavenly demons. Ordinary disciples, even at the tenth realm Divine Transformation, were no match for heavenly demons.
"We are from the Thunder Emperor Cave Dwelling, under the command of Eldest Miss Qingxue: Spring Thunder Envoy, Summer Thunder Envoy, Autumn Thunder Envoy, Winter Thunder Envoy, Sun Thunder Envoy, Moon Thunder Envoy! The six great Lightning Envoys. These heavenly demons broke through the seal, and among them is also the remnant soul of the Water Gu Heavenly Demon. This heavenly demon is an expert who has refined a Demonic Pill; you absolutely must be careful!" an envoy roared wildly.
"A Demonic King who formed a Demonic Pill! That is the seventh realm of the Divine Ability sequence, the Golden Pill Seed realm. I am absolutely no match for this kind of demonic king!" Hearing this, Fang Han's mind suddenly trembled, and he looked deep into the swarm of heavenly demons lunging down like flying locusts in the sky…
High up in the extreme nine heavens, dark clouds rolled and bleak winds howled angrily.
A man wearing a blue dharma robe sat upon a throne, looking down with his eyes, staring at Fang Han without the slightest bit of human emotion.
