Fang Han killed with extreme pleasure, flying deep into the swarm of heavenly demons. His vigorous Wood Sovereign True Qi was utilized smoothly and with consummate skill, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, completely unlike his slaughtering on the heavenly demon battlefield that day. Back then, fighting on the heavenly demon battlefield, he still feared these heavenly demons three points, relying on a magic treasure, the Seven Fiends Gourd, and the Seven Fiends Heavenly Wolf Smoke to roam rampant within.
But now it was different. Having cultivated divine abilities and condensed true qi, even dealing with an ordinary heavenly demon king was a trivial matter.
The heavenly demons that broke through the seal and flew out here were vastly more numerous than on the heavenly demon battlefield, so densely packed their numbers were unknown. The more he killed, the more enthusiastic he became, and the more he killed, the deeper his comprehension of his own true qi grew. Multitasking with one mind, amidst its circulation, he actually vaguely approached the level of breaking through to the Gang Qi Realm.
Moreover, this time, his breakthrough to the Gang Qi Realm would absolutely not be rushed, but rather a result of arduous tempering of his true qi over a long period. This equated to grinding away all impurities, laying a foundation firmer than ever before. Once he broke through the Gang Qi Realm and achieved the third realm of the Divine Ability sequence, the Origin Gang Realm, his magic power would likely be even more powerful and immense.
Therefore, Fang Han fought excitedly amidst the swarm of heavenly demons. As his true qi circulated, combining with his mind, agile and soaring, he fundamentally did not want to stop, because he knew that if he continued slaughtering like this, he would definitively break through realms. Slaying these heavenly demons was truly too smooth.
Furthermore, with so many heavenly demons entirely refined into Biluo Great Pills, it represented a full windfall of wealth. In the Ever-returning Sea Market, this kind of pill was the most popular. Moreover, Fang Han taking them out to trade simply by claiming he obtained them from killing Yellow Spring Sect disciples would suffice. With his identity as a true disciple of the Yuhua Sect, no trouble would arise.
Besides, there were also people from the demonic cults trading items in the Ever-returning Sea Market. As long as it was profitable, the Ever-returning Immortal Island did not prohibit it either, turning a blind eye.
Fang Han heading to Guixu for trials was only a small half intended to search for treasures; the larger half was to find heavenly demons to slaughter. He also knew that treasures were not that easy to find.
However, just as he was killing gleefully, an extremely intense sense of danger rose from deep within his soul.
"Could it be that the remnant soul of the Water Gu Heavenly Demon Great Demonic King they spoke of is truly amidst the heavenly demon swarm, secretly eyeing me? Since he is a great divine ability user of the seventh realm of the divine ability sequence who formed a Golden Pill seed, even as a remnant soul with magic power less than a tenth of its prime, I am not his match. But at this time I cannot retreat either; otherwise, the forty-nine islands will definitively face a catastrophic disaster. Besides, if I keep fighting like this, should my true qi deplete and magic power fail, it will also be a difficult situation."
His gaze searched within the heavenly demon swarm, but he only saw overlapping ghostly shadows, without noticing any movement. He was currently multitasking with a hundred thoughts, manipulating his own magic power and true qi with ease, understanding how to minimize consumption. Therefore, having fought for so long, he was actually growing more spirited as he killed, even plunging deep into the heavenly demon swarm.
But there were countless heavenly demons after all, impossible to kill thoroughly. And he had no Magic Crystal jade stones to replenish himself; continuing to kill like this, his true qi would sooner or later be exhausted.
"Hmph! If the Water Gu Heavenly Demon won't come out, then I will force you to appear! Ten Asura Sword Demonic Puppets, appear!"
Fang Han spurred his Wood Sovereign True Qi again. Instantly, ten exceedingly tall and large Asuras flew out of his body. Radiant light sparkled on every Asura, their sword qi sharp, being precisely the Asuras he had repeatedly condensed.
As soon as these ten Asuras flew out, they opened their mouths to emit a series of whistles, actually forming the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!
Controlled by Fang Han's mind, these ten Asuras, although lacking magic power, could execute all of Fang Han's martial arts. Moreover, their bodies were powerful. Having consumed Six Yang Holy Water, their physical stamina could fully rival seventy or eighty fiery horses, equivalent to an expert who had just entered the Divine Ability Realm, and they were also capable of unhindered flight with enormous lethal power.
These ten Asuras emitted the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds together. Ferocious auras rolled continuously, instantly sweeping the scene. As sword light danced, countless heavenly demons were shaken to powder. Right there and then, heavenly demons by the hundreds lost their lives on the spot.
"Demonic King, the hundred thousand heavenly demons under our command have suffered devastating losses from his slaughter! Although this person is only a True Qi Realm cultivator, he multitasks with a hundred thoughts, his methods are brilliant, and his true qi quality is bizarre. We have just escaped captivity, and Lord Demonic King still needs to rely on the hundred thousand heavenly demons to accomplish great deeds. Sustaining such great damage is probably not good. Furthermore, our numerous heavenly demons have already gathered information on this person; he is a true disciple of the Yuhua Sect, cultivating the Heavenly Wood Great Method. How about we just retreat?"
High in the nine heavens, the man on that throne saw Fang Han produce ten Asura puppets executing the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds to sweep the scene, and stood up abruptly.
Beside this man stood a heavenly demon, its entire body blue, seemingly composed of water waves, constantly changing into various shapes and emitting sounds.
"This King was jointly attacked back then by the Demonic Commander and that female reincarnation of the Lightning Mother, who used the Dao artifact 'Indestructible Lightning Talisman' to seriously injure me, continuously shattering the Heavenly Demon Golden Pill I refined. My magic power plummeted sharply, and having been sealed for so many years, the loss is even more severe. Breaking out of the seal this time, I originally intended to bathe the people of these forty-nine islands in blood, using their fresh blood as nourishment. But to run into such a monster; the divine ability he cultivates is an ancient demonic dao art, the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art among the Five Emperors Great Demonic Divine Abilities. The Heavenly Wood Great Method of the Yuhua Sect is born out of this ancient miraculous art; it can deceive others but not me. He harbors secrets. I will personally act to capture him, take him back, and refine him using Soul-Searching Demonic Magic!"
The man on the throne spoke calmly, still without the slightest bit of emotion. His body was straight and tall, truly possessing the demeanor of a king among demons. There was no doubt; he was the Water Gu Great Heavenly Demonic King, the peerless expert who had once refined a Heavenly Demon Golden Pill.
There were ten realms in the Divine Ability sequence. The fifth realm, Heaven-Man Realm, established one as a Zhenren of a region, respected by cultivators, protected and favored by the sect, sitting on equal footing with the elders.
Once one passed through the condensation of the sixth realm, the Origin Return Realm, unifying various divine abilities and returning ten thousand methods to one, ultimately refining a divine ability seed, a Great Golden Pill, they would reach the seventh realm. Not only would their lifespan increase again, but their power would also grow vastly, becoming the core-most existence within the sect, and a candidate with the potential to step into the Longevity Realm!
The Longevity Realm granted a lifespan of ten thousand years, truly living long, long, long life. Such figures were immemorial colossi, roaming freely across myriad realms, capturing the void. While the seventh realm of the Divine Ability sequence, the Golden Pill Realm, was equivalent to being a crown prince in the secular world.
Even with the huge business and numerous experts of the Taiyi Sect, disciples who cultivated to the Divine Ability Seed Great Golden Pill Realm would be bestowed the character "Yi" (One) in their names to indicate their prominence.
From this alone, one could see what realm of expert this Water Gu Heavenly Demonic King used to be!
His speech just now meant he was about to strike against Fang Han!
Just as his voice fell, standing high in the nine heavens, he fiercely waved his hand. Instantly, his body transformed into a demonic shadow. Without expending the slightest effort, he shot down like lightning, hiding within layers of heavenly demons, approaching Fang Han. Finding a flaw, he suddenly launched a fierce attack! With deep killing intent and boundless power, he viciously sought to envelop Fang Han.
"Person who cultivates the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art! Tell me all your secrets, spill them out…"
Mixed within that eerie demonic qi was the demonic voice of this Great Heavenly Demonic King, sufficiently powerful to disrupt the thinking of a Divine Ability Realm expert.
Fang Han had unleashed the ten great Asuras and was killing with great enthusiasm. In this short time, he had killed over a thousand heavenly demons, pulling them into the Yellow Spring Diagram to be refined into pills.
However, his heart was strictly on guard, and his true qi was secretly retracted. Amidst the swarm of heavenly demons, the island below and the disciples of the forty-nine islands Thunder Emperor Cave Dwelling were no longer visible. He was using his own body as bait, attracting all the heavenly demons.
Right at this moment, an overwhelming killing intent enveloped him within. All his true qi seemed to be completely frozen by this killing intent, beginning to disobey his command, showing a trend of becoming "demonized."
"Water Gu Heavenly Demonic King! As an expert who condensed a Demonic Pill, possessing illustrious fame previously as an expert renowned on the same level as the Five Hells Great Heavenly Demonic King, you actually revert to sneak attacks when dealing with a junior like me!" Fang Han roared fiercely, retracting his true qi.
Whoosh!
All the scenes in front of him vanished completely. That man devoid of the slightest human emotion appeared in front of Fang Han; it was precisely the Water Gu Great Heavenly Demonic King. Wiping out with a large hand and taking a step forward, Fang Han felt the heavens shake and the earth tremble, demonic qi roiling, as if the center of heaven and earth was this very man.
"As a heavenly demon, I only emphasize one-hit kills. Whatever identities or sneak attacks, those are your human ideas." The demonic qi of the Water Gu Heavenly Demonic King pushed away all of Fang Han's true qi, invading into his body.
"Three Heavenly Lions, come out!"
At this moment, Fang Han executed the three Heavenly Lion Gang Qi tattoos on his body. With a flash, they transformed into three giant male lions! Viciously lunging to devour the Water Gu Great Heavenly Demonic King.
The strength of every male lion was much greater than Fang Han himself, and gang qi was more condensed than true qi. In an instant, it was equivalent to five Fang Hans besieging the Great Heavenly Demonic King!
