The Three Lives Stone appeared, rescuing the people of the three worlds, and that mysterious figure even uttered words of mockery. Fang Han naturally could not endure this and immediately continued his attack. Moreover, as Fang Han clashed head-on with the Three Lives Stone, he felt that although the stone's power was tyrannical, the mana of the person manipulating it was inferior to his own, leaving many flaws to be exploited.
If an Immortal King were manipulating the Three Lives Stone, Fang Han would naturally stay far away and turn around to leave immediately. But now, in the heavens, the Immortal Kings had completely disappeared. Among the remaining Heavenly Monarchs, those with greater mana than his were practically non-existent. With his current cultivation of twelve epochs, he could almost stand proud in ancient and modern times, breaking the restraints of the firmament.
No one could match him.
Furthermore, and most importantly, a piece of the Lord of Origin's sternum was within his body, serving as an array eye of the Epoch Divine Array.
The Lord of Origin's sternum was snatched away from Su Xiuyi.
The Three Lives Stone was a supreme divine artifact refined by the Lord of Origin, naturally carrying the aura of the Lord of Origin. As Fang Han calculated, his entire being transformed, his body growing tall, seemingly becoming the reincarnation of the Lord of Origin, possessing enormous control over the Three Lives Stone.
He decided to use his unparalleled methods to seize the strongest divine object.
If he could obtain the Three Lives Stone, then the existences in the heavens capable of contending with him would truly be very few. Absolutely no one would be able to sanction him, and stepping into the realm of an Immortal King would be just around the corner.
"The strongest divine objects in the heavens require the strongest people to master them. You cannot master the Three Lives Stone, so let me do it."
Facing that mysterious voice, Fang Han stepped out, laying out immense arrays in the air. Planes were created out of thin air, blocking the Three Lives Stone in the sky.
He wanted to force out the mysterious existence operating behind the Three Lives Stone to see exactly who this person was that had snatched the Three Lives Stone ahead of him.
"The Three Lives Stone is destined to be mine, meant to be seized by the strongest person in the world. In the future, I will be the strongest person in the world, the number one expert. Fang Han, it is far too early for you to try and snatch this divine stone. You will never have hope. Go!"
The mysterious voice resonated again. Regulated by the mysterious voice, the Three Lives Stone fiercely vibrated. Its divine might blanketed the world, shattering a thousand or a hundred planes, crashing heavily, tearing everything apart everywhere. Fang Han simply could not block this fastest and strongest divine stone.
"Break for me!"
Fang Han pointed to the sky and stepped on the earth, surging forward. The Heavenly Burial Coffin appeared above his head, expanding. The coffin lid was opened, and the black light of immortal burial shrouded the celestial vault, sweeping away invincibly, unexpectedly sucking onto the Three Lives Stone.
"You people of the Buddha realm, the Dragon realm, and the Demon realm, do you think you can escape my control by having the Three Lives Stone? You are terribly mistaken. I will let you know what true despair is." Fang Han's body quickly approached the Three Lives Stone, pressing upon it. The Epoch Divine Array scattered in the air, filling the sky with Crystal Divine Kingdoms.
"Shameless boasting."
The mysterious voice manipulated the Three Lives Stone. The enormous stone, suspended in the air, suddenly leaped, possessing an animistic quality as it charged with the momentum of a comet hitting the moon, striking the Heavenly Burial Coffin. It actually knocked the coffin right off.
"The Zen Sacrificial Altar, the Origin Holy Temple, the Mother Sword of All Things, the Gate of Execution of Immortals, the Eightfold Pagoda, the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures…"
In another breath, Fang Han spat out six great divine objects. Among them, the power of the Eightfold Pagoda, having absorbed the words Sun, Moon, and Dragon, grew to an extreme point, fully comparable to heavens' divine objects.
As for the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures, it went without saying. After entirely transforming into Sage-grade Immortal Artifacts, they were now Fang Han's top magic treasure, the most powerful ones, surpassing the Heavenly Burial Coffin.
A divine light from the Thirty-Three Heavens, dominating over the firmament, scattered forth. The Supreme Heaven Gate, the Universal Instrument, the Heaven Sealing Lock, the Heaven Suppressing Ring, the Heaven Transforming Armor… Each and every one of these supreme treasures possessed a globally invincible divine power that made even heavens, earth, sun, and moon tremble.
Combined with Fang Han's own power, along with Feng Baiyu's cultivation of ten epochs, they could completely flip the entire universe over, reversing any laws.
These divine objects tightly wrapped around the Three Lives Stone, colliding in the void.
"The Great Meaning of the Five Elements…"
Using his finger as a pen, Fang Han wrote in the air. The ancient characters of the Five Elements flew out, transforming into five great mountains, evolving into a Five Elements void. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, carrying ten thousand kinds of divine might, also bombarded the Three Lives Stone.
"So many divine objects…"
Witnessing Fang Han manifest so many divine objects in a single breath, that mysterious existence was also startled, his mind feeling a bit of shock, but his voice then hardened again: "Fang Han, although you have many divine objects, I have one that is enough to resist many of yours. A divine object, one is enough! Break for me, sweep them all away!"
"Wu wu wu…"
"Wu wu wu wu…"
Blood rain across heaven and earth, ghosts crying and deities howling. From the Three Lives Stone came sounds of crying children, mourning women, long-howling men, sobbing elders… All sorts of sounds. Even as Fang Han heard them, he felt as if his past, present, and future lives were being shaken.
The enormous Three Lives Stone dashed left and right. With every collision, it actually knocked away one of the heavens' divine objects.
Be it the Heavenly Burial Coffin, the Gate of Execution of Immortals, or even the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures, none could entrap this colossal stone.
Fang Han proudly stood in the sky, waves of bright light rising from his body again. Hidden within the bright light was a bone ring, the sternum of the Lord of Origin.
"The Call of Destiny, summoning the master of the Three Lives Stone, the descent of the Lord of Origin."
Fang Han gave a long and powerful shout. Click, crack, the bone ring began to shatter and then transformed into an old man in white robes. This old man stood in the air, his eyes shooting out a gentle and docile light.
Strange to say, under the gentle and docile gaze of this white-robed old man, the Three Lives Stone actually became gentle, seemingly sensing its master, showing a tendency to fly towards Fang Han.
"What? You acquired the sternum of the Lord of Origin? Su Xiuyi has already died by your hands?" That mysterious voice was genuinely stunned again, "However, I have acquired the entirety of the Lord of Origin's skeleton. I am the true master of the Three Lives Stone, come back!"
In the obscure void, a tremendous power pierced through the interior of the Three Lives Stone once again. This stone abruptly hopped like a star pill, breaking free from Fang Han's restraints in an instant and flying outward anew.
"The bodily power of the Lord of Origin…" Fang Han opened his five fingers, tearing through the celestial vault. Discovered deep within the overlapping layers of universe voids, in the eternal unknown depths, a giant skeleton loomed. Regardless of the scouring of the river of time, it remained eternally immortal. Waves of true vacuum trembled around the demonic frame.
This demonic frame was just missing a specific segment of the sternum. Besides that, the head and the four limbs were all present. This was the true torso of an Immortal King, and the skeleton of the strongest Immortal King in history, the Lord of Origin.
Yet, Fang Han could sense that the power of this skeleton seemed to be draining severely. Many epochs ago, it had suffered severe damage, and there were even tiny cracks on the bones.
However, this ancient demonic frame and its mysterious power still shook one's soul, completely capable of controlling the Three Lives Stone.
Fang Han even felt that the moment this ancient demonic frame appeared, the sternum within him was jumping about, seemingly wanting to return to the mother body.
"The skeleton of the Lord of Origin!" Fang Han's eyes flickered, and all the divine objects on his body retreated back to him at once. He thrust a grab forward. Whoosh! His massive hand unexpectedly cut deep into the eternal unknown depths, grabbing onto the giant demonic frame: "So, you are entirely incapable of manipulating the Three Lives Stone; you are only manipulating it by relying on this demonic frame. Come out!"
Fang Han's massive hand destroyed one unknown sector after another. Numerous planes vanished without a trace under this grab. Even the void feared Fang Han's mana, quietly parting ways, enabling Fang Han's power to cross an unknown number of temporal years, passing through past and future, intending to directly shatter the skeleton of the Lord of Origin.
Operated by the mysterious figure, the skeleton of the Lord of Origin seemed to sense the danger. Raising its arm, it bent a finger and pointed directly at the center of Fang Han's palm for an execution strike.
"Bang!"
The two invincible existences collided with each other. Fang Han only felt his whole body go numb. All the Crystal Divine Kingdoms crumbled instantly, the Epoch Divine Array was blasted down, and for a short span of time, his body was entirely paralyzed and unable to move; even his will was frozen.
And the skeleton of the Lord of Origin merely swayed a bit before continuing to stand tall in the ancient river of time.
"Hoo!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Three Lives Stone flew above Fang Han's head again, fiercely laying suppression upon him, and an arrogant voice resonated: "Die! Fang Han, how dare you clash head-on with the skeleton of the Lord of Origin?"
"You want to kill me? Too naive." Fang Han raised his hand, delivering a single punch, bringing forth many divine objects, and blew the Three Lives Stone away.
"Strong! Worthy of the strongest Immortal King." Then, he took a deep breath, halted, revolved his mana, and completely recovered. But exactly in this instantaneous fraction of time, the Three Lives Stone had returned to the side of the Lord of Origin and thoroughly vanished.
Remaining in the air was the voice of the mysterious figure: "Fang Han, you are quite strong. Indeed, you are quite strong? I activated the skeleton of the Lord of Origin, and not even the Three Lives Stone could defeat you. However, you shouldn't be too proud. My cultivation will continuously increase. Furthermore, I have the Three Lives Stone hiding all my auras. You will never be able to calculate where I hide. I will deal you the strongest blow, letting you feel the arrival of death at the moment you're most relaxed."
This voice contained a slight tremor; it appeared that the fact Fang Han had violently clashed head-on with the Lord of Origin and instantly recovered, even sending the force of the Three Lives Stone flying, terrified him.
Initially, this mysterious person believed that bringing forth the skeleton of the Lord of Origin could instantaneously suppress Fang Han, then sending down the Three Lives Stone would either kill Fang Han or grievously injure him. He hadn't expected Fang Han to truly be an undefeated god of war, and that nothing could inflict harm on him.
Immediately, the mysterious person thought of retreating and fled swiftly. Otherwise, fighting further, allowing Fang Han to discover the mysteries of the Three Lives Stone and the Lord of Origin, he would employ his supreme Dao of Destiny, reversing back to the origin, and plundering them away, placing himself in a perilous situation and even facing execution.
"Ran away… You can't run away."
Gazing out at the completely traceless void, Fang Han calmly said.
