The three great divine objects, "Heaven Burial Coffin", "Zen Conferment Altar", and "Hongmeng Hall", were exactly the same in that there were actually three thousand array maps within them that could not be stimulated. However, the three thousand array maps within each of them were not identical, separately representing the unique comprehensions towards the Three Thousand Great Daos of the three great Immortal Kings: Creation Immortal King, Origin Immortal King, and Daoist Hongmeng.
As a similar divine object, the "Moment King Robe" did not possess such miraculous changes. This revealed the difference between the Lord of the Alchemic Realm, "Moment Heavenly Monarch", and giants like Daoist Hongmeng, Creation Immortal King, and Origin Immortal King.
Inside Fang Han's body, he had fused the "Heaven Burial Coffin" and the "Zen Conferment Altar". He had now cultivated them to the limit, stimulating all the array formations, with the sole exception of the three thousand array maps which remained motionless.
Even so, his power had achieved a massive leap forward once again.
Previously, when Fang Han evolved his crystal divine country into a Taiji diagram, the Heaven Burial Coffin and the Moment King Robe served as the Yin and Yang array cores, but the Moment King Robe was always one tier lower than the Heaven Burial Coffin.
This resulted in an imbalance of Yin and Yang.
But now, the "Zen Conferment Altar" replaced the Moment King Robe. It was an existence on the same level as the "Heaven Burial Coffin". One Yin and one Yang, thoroughly balanced, cycling endlessly. Especially under the effect of the Epoch Divine Formation, the two great divine objects influenced each other, and all three thousand array maps showed signs of reviving.
With a slight operation of magical power by Fang Han, numerous divine objects within his body slowly rotated, becoming array cores of the Epoch Divine Formation. With a movement of his hands, he could casually shake the entire Alchemic Realm. He repeatedly stimulated the remaining array maps of the Hongmeng Hall, borrowing this divine object, the Hongmeng Hall, to temper his body.
The supreme power contained within the Gate of Hongmeng deep inside the Hongmeng Hall was stimulated thread by thread. Inside Fang Han's crystal divine country, the scripture brewed from Hongmeng qi appeared once again, the Hongmeng Heaven Opening Scripture.
Virtually all the profound mysteries of Daoist Hongmeng were seen through by Fang Han.
At the same time, Fang Han's cultivation base had thoroughly reached the terrifying degree of seven primal chaos eras. This kind of cultivation base was considered outstanding even among the various Realm Lords across the heavens and myriad realms.
Having thoroughly refined the "Zen Conferment Altar", Fang Han's divine sense spread in all directions. Suddenly blowing out a breath, a towering large tree appeared in front of what originally was the tomb of the Lord of the Alchemic Realm inside the entire Alchemic Realm.
This towering large tree was the World Tree!
One of the divine objects of the heavens.
Now, Fang Han had thoroughly comprehended the profound mysteries of the World Tree, knowing that an unknown number of eras ago, during the opening of heaven and earth, it was a seed that flowed out from the Gate of Eternal Life. Ultimately, going through all sorts of fortuitous encounters, it grew into the World Tree. During its prime, this tree possessed strength comparable to an Immortal King. Growing in the Xuanhuang Great World, it could directly shatter the rules of heaven and man, connecting with the Heavenly Realm, making the Xuanhuang Great World the number one world of the ancient times.
If not for the Ancestor Sage King of the Protoss risking his life to chop it down with the Creation Artifact giant axe, he probably would not have been able to cause any damage to this World Tree.
However, right now, this World Tree was temporarily of no use to Fang Han.
Fang Han calculated the heavenly cycles and had a flash of inspiration. He suddenly prepared to plant the World Tree within the Alchemic Realm to thoroughly consolidate the crystal wall system of the Alchemic Realm, and moreover, to better reshape the entire Alchemic Realm anew, expelling the ultimate brand left behind by the Lord of the Alchemic Realm.
Although Fang Han had now thoroughly refined the entire Alchemic Realm, if the Lord of the Alchemic Realm returned, relying on his own aura, he would still be able to find some loopholes. But by Fang Han planting the World Tree, it meant the entire Alchemic Realm would not have the slightest bit of relationship with the Lord of the Alchemic Realm anymore.
"Key of the Desolate God! Merging into the world…" Fang Han now also possessed the cultivation base of a Heavenly Monarch. Even if Panwu Immortal Venerable descended and respawned from back then, he would not be his match, and Origin Daoist would also have to exchange blows to know who was more formidable. With a single squeeze, he completely exploded the Key of the Desolate God and fused it into the main body of the World Tree.
A massive World Tree slowly rose up within the Alchemic Realm. This World Tree sprouted branches and scattered leaves in the center of the Alchemic Realm. Instantly, everywhere within the entire Alchemic Realm was shaded by green trees, and touches of green appeared on the crystal wall system of the Alchemic Realm.
Fang Han felt the entire Alchemic Realm undergoing an earth-shattering change. Mountains swelled up, rivers, oceans, lakes, the scenery picturesque, elegant and colorful, with abundant origin energy and the birth of spiritual objects.
The defensive capability of the Alchemic Realm increased significantly.
Furthermore, the planes of the ancient Sala trees outside also felt the aura of the King of Ten Thousand Woods, the innate divine wood World Tree. It was as if they were believers who had acquired a spiritual leader, each of them paying homage, their strength increasing vastly.
"This World Tree truly has the ability to enhance a realm. With it planted inside a world, the defensive power simply doubles. It seems I will have to search for more fragments of the World Tree to enhance my capabilities." Looking at all of this, Fang Han instantly formed a plan in his heart.
Although Fang Han's own cultivation base was climbing steadily, it was precisely because of this that the people he offended were far too many. Now the three great powers of the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Court, Truth, and Origin, all held enmities as deep as the sea. The Epoch Gate would continuously face attacks, so fortifying the Alchemic Realm was imperative.
To fortify a world, there was nothing more reliable than the World Tree. In legends, the reason why the God Realm currently stood second to none among the heavens and myriad realms was because at the core foundation of the entire God Realm, that massive World Tree served as the backbone, constantly suppressing the crystal wall system of the entire world.
Among the heavens and myriad realms, the one ranked first was the Heavenly Realm. The second place was naturally the God Realm.
Whatever mysterious Law Realm, Treasure Realm, Book Realm, Martial Realm, Ninja Realm… none could compare to the God Realm.
Experts of the Heavenly Realm had attacked the God Realm countless times before, but they were all blocked outside the world's crystal wall system. This was the result of the World Tree merging into the world. With the World Tree planted within a world, the crystal wall system of the entire world became incomparably stable.
"Let me add another layer of protection to the Alchemic Realm! Aurora belt! Gather for me!" Having planted the World Tree, Fang Han calculated in his heart, and in a short while, he calculated the locations of some World Tree fragments.
When the World Tree was scattered across the heavens and myriad realms back then, apart from the Protoss taking away the largest main trunk, some mysterious experts also took a lot to stabilize their own worlds. For instance, Fang Han now calculated that the Law Realm, Ninja Realm, Book Realm… all held fragments of the World Tree.
They were refined into magical treasures by these supreme great beings, germinating and developing to stabilize the worlds they had opened up.
In legends, if one possessed the complete World Tree and planted it in their own world, even if the great destruction of heaven and earth arrived, it probably could not be destroyed. If someone found the complete World Tree, then refined it anew to its original state, crafting it into the seed that was originally spurted out from the Gate of Eternal Life, returning it to its innate state, and then swallowed it, they could even reach the realm of an Immortal King!
These were all drawn from Fang Han's massive memory bank, and then derived from his own calculations.
In short, he determined his method for rapidly elevating his cultivation base, which was to search for the fragments of the World Tree, best to make a trip to the God Realm and get that main trunk back.
Although the God Realm was incomparably terrifying, definitely ten times more tyrannical than the Origin Dynasty, Fang Han had a relationship with the End Sage King. The End Sage King was originally the terminator of the Protoss, a pervert who disregarded the life and death of the Protoss and only pursued the supreme Great Dao, killing whoever he wanted to kill. With areas where he and Fang Han could mutually assist each other, obtaining the main trunk of the World Tree would not be a problem.
Having settled the plan in his heart to cultivate rapidly and elevate his cultivation base, Fang Han did not immediately head out to search for the fragments of the World Tree. Instead, he suddenly grabbed outward with his large hand, grabbing directly into the long river of aurora surrounding the Alchemic Realm with a size as massive as a hundred thousand great provinces of the Heavenly Realm. Countless auroras were grabbed up, transforming into halos of light that rotated around the Alchemic Realm. At the same time, talismans flashed within the halos of light, and extremely formidable killing formations condensed into form one after another.
Fang Han continuously stimulated his own magical power. More auroras from the long river of aurora were grabbed out, condensing into array maps that surrounded all four sides of the Alchemic Realm, arranged into absolute killing forbidden techniques.
This added another layer of guardianship for the Alchemic Realm.
However, this layer of guardianship could only block ordinary Heavenly Monarchs. If figures like Death Heavenly Monarch, Terror Heavenly Monarch, or even Honghuang Heavenly Monarch came, it would just be a display, better than nothing at all.
Fang Han knew the situation was urgent now. The Origin Dynasty, the Sacred Land of Truth, and the Heavenly Court were all glaring like tigers watching their prey. If the Alchemic Realm nest was not constructed to be as solid as golden soup, he feared that when these Heavenly Monarchs forced their way to his door, they would be directly wiped out.
"Ah…" Just as Fang Han was constructing the Alchemic Realm, suddenly, Linglong Immortal Venerable's Heavenly Monarch great tribulation truly descended. Countless thunder clouds, divine winds, devils, Xuanhuang blood thunder… various endlessly emerging monsters and devil overlords all descended from the void, drilling in and out of Linglong's body.
Yet Linglong maintained a solemn bearing throughout. Clusters of Hongmeng flames emerged from within her body, refining the various heavenly tribulations. She became increasingly steady and increasingly formidable, her life form undergoing its final transformation. She began to possess the various characteristics of a Heavenly Monarch.
Oceanic amounts of Heavenly Vein origin energy burned without regard for cost.
Meanwhile inside the Hongmeng Hall, a great many array maps flashed continuously, entering her body, expelling the heavenly tribulation for her and changing her life form.
"Great Luo Heavenly Dao…" Linglong suddenly opened her eyes. All the heavenly tribulations entirely turned into origin energy and entered her own body. Subsequently, the power in her body swelled step by step, like bamboo shoots springing up after rain. Reaching the end, with a flick of her fingers, a chessboard with an unknown number of intersecting lines appeared in the air. Every single chess piece was a small world. The black and white pieces intertwined and twisted, currently engaging in a tragic slaughter, evolving boundless and endless dharmas.
This was the Dao of Linglong comprehended by Linglong Immortal Venerable, the Linglong Chess Game, the Linglong Great Luo Tribulation. Every single chess piece was a tribulation. Countless tribulations interlocked with one another, evolving the conflict of opposing Yin and Yang, capable of encompassing all phenomena and refining all things.
Heavenly Monarch, achieved.
Linglong Immortal Venerable had also become a supreme Heavenly Monarch. This number one expert of the Xuanhuang Great World in the secular realm, although she achieved Heavenly Monarch after Fang Han and Feng Baiyu, she had ultimately succeeded.
