Above the hazy sky of the Heavenly Realm for experts, going further up was endless. Fang Han's divine sense exploration had reached its limit, yet it was still a violently boundless expanse of laws, distorted and chaotic.
The further up he went, the more violently unhinged the laws became.
The violence of the law wind blades was unimaginable. Fang Han even saw mountains of wind, all composed of space, time… these laws twisting together, issuing creaking sounds. They could not be eliminated at all, and it was unknown where their motive power came from.
No wonder Heavenly Lords could not perceive just how vast the Heavenly Realm truly was.
The Realm Above the Realm existed within this boundless ocean of violently chaotic laws, and it was unknown which one was the entrance. However, during his calculations, Fang Han sensed a trace of the aura of the Realm Above the Realm.
Because his Minor Destiny Spell had almost reached the boundary of comprehending the Great Destiny Spell. If one were to say who in this world could accurately know the location of the "Gate of Eternal Life," then he would naturally be the one to bear the responsibility.
Of course, there was also the Lightning Mother Heavenly Lord, Fang Qingxue.
"How did Qingxue enter the Realm Above the Realm? Rationally speaking, the Realm Above the Realm is situated within these wildly violent laws, making it exceptionally difficult to enter. Although I am not afraid, an ordinary Heavenly Lord would absolutely find only a path to death."
Fang Han still held some doubts in his heart, because the laws here, the violent wind speeds, had long since surpassed that of light. Heavenly Lords could not survive here, unless they were a peak Heavenly Lord like him who had surpassed ten eras of cultivation and could travel back and forth within it. Could it be that Fang Qingxue had also broken through to the cultivation of ten eras?
Even if Fang Qingxue had broken through, it was still impossible for the Master of Inner Demons and the Lord of the Crimson Abyss to break through.
Alternatively, they possessed other methods, perhaps the protection of divine items.
"Gate of Eternal Life, deduce slightly, Realm Above the Realm, manifest before my eyes." Amidst these wildly chaotic winds, Fang Han's body spun round and round. He stepped upon the eight extremities, pacing celestial alignments. Gusts of violent wind were absorbed into his body and transformed into power. He shook his arms, tearing through the dome of heaven, thrusting directly into the deepest reaches of the firmament above. Over and over again in the air, he drew portal after portal.
Tens of millions of portals, all contained within.
Finally, he froze upon a single point. Within that point, an impossibly massive, vast, and boundless phantom image of an enormous gate manifested within a mirror.
It was precisely the location of the Gate of Eternal Life.
With a swoosh, he shuttled into the surface of that mirror, and instantly his entire person vanished completely. The next moment, he appeared in a peculiar place.
This place seemed to be another plane altogether.
Green hills and clear waters, brimming with abundant original Qi. Towering giant mountains stood tall, and in the sky, a blazing sun also shone down. As Fang Han casually took a breath, the air was actually filled with the Qi of Eternal Life.
The Qi of Eternal Life was a current of air that was even more powerful and higher-grade than Heavenly Vein original Qi. Breathing it in could greatly assist in the comprehension of the path of an Immortal King. In reality, for a Heavenly Lord to wish to cultivate to become an Immortal King, the Qi of Eternal Life was an indispensable original Qi. However, within the Heavenly Realm, there was no existence of the Qi of Eternal Life.
Only within the divine items of the myriad heavens did the Qi of Eternal Life exist.
Therefore, the divine items of the myriad heavens were essential materials for Heavenly Lords to cultivate. But they were truly far too rare, so they could not be purchased in ordinary markets. Even if one occasionally managed to purchase some low-level divine items, they were merely the dregs left behind after Heavenly Lords had drained them of their Qi of Eternal Life.
Many markets within the Heavenly Realm were extremely low-level for Heavenly Lords. There was no longer any need to go and make purchases.
"What plane is this? Could this be the Realm Above the Realm?"
Fang Han swept his gaze, sensing the laws here. He then discovered that the laws within this massive plane were extremely sturdy, thousands of times sturdier than those of the Heavenly Realm. The functioning of original Qi and the power unleashed would consume a great deal of original Qi.
Striking a punch out in the Heavenly Realm did not require much force, but in this plane, it felt as though his entire body was bound by shackles. This was due to the laws being far too sturdy.
Moreover, the first impression this plane gave people was that it was immense!
The mountain peaks of the Heavenly Realm were large enough, each one stretching for virtually billions, hundreds of billions of miles. Yet in this plane, nearly a single mountain peak was the size of a planet. A person entering this plane felt like a tiny person arriving in a kingdom of giants.
There was a tree that stood reaching the heavens, piercing straight into the clouds, making it impossible to see just how tall it was. A river flowed with magnificent waves, and unless one was a Heavenly Lord, it would be difficult to fly across. The water currents within rumbled as they flowed, and their impact force was practically no less than the attacks of an ordinary Heavenly Lord. Specifically, within this river, there were massive fish-shaped monstrosities coming and going, resembling dragons but not dragons, resembling beasts but not beasts, emitting powerful auras.
This was roughly similar to Fang Han's first impression of the Dragon Realm back when he was in the secular world. When he first entered the Dragon Realm, his initial impression was primordial, ancient, and colossal.
Yet now, it appeared that the landscape, stones, vegetation, and trees of this plane were an unknown number of times larger than those in the Dragon Realm. Compared to here, the Dragon Realm was equivalent to a miniature small world.
Fang Han even felt that this place was the true "Heavenly Realm," while the Heavenly Realm below was nothing more than a "False Heavenly Realm."
In the air, flying birds whistled past from time to time. When the wings of those flying birds extended, they practically blotted out the sky and covered the sun, obscuring an entire section of the earth's plates. The strength of these flying birds was also abnormally formidable. In the secular world, they could practically slay many supreme powerhouses on the reserve list of Heavenly Lords; even the top ten might not necessarily be their match.
"This is the Realm Above the Realm, without a doubt. The influence of the Gate of Eternal Life has opened up a dangerous plane within the nothingness of primordial chaos that can rival the Heavenly Realm."
Fang Han observed for a long time and finally became thoroughly familiar with the laws of this plane, the plane of the Realm Above the Realm.
Here, it was indeed true that the Qi of Eternal Life was everywhere, resulting in the gestation of unimaginable treasures. It was a holy land for cultivators, but unfortunately, it was also exceedingly dangerous. Ordinary Heavenly Lords entering would find it difficult to take even a single step, likely being killed by monsters.
The place where Fang Han landed was a mountain range, with massive mountain peaks, one after another, resembling a star domain, directly bringing him into a sea of stars from which he could not exit.
He immediately started flying, only to encounter the attacks of numerous monsters. In the sky, it seemed that some monsters had sensed his aura. Suddenly, a flock of strange birds attacked him, numbering in the millions, traveling in swarms, densely packed. These strange birds had nine heads, ferocious razor-sharp claws, and colorful feathers all over their bodies. Their natural textures transformed into supreme beast markings, and they spat auroras from their mouths that could practically pierce through heaven and earth, surrounding and attacking Fang Han, seemingly wanting to devour his Heavenly Lord origin source.
"Heavenly Fowl Nine-Headed Birds? The fierce avian breed that had long gone extinct."
With one look, Fang Han saw that these Heavenly Fowl Nine-Headed Birds were all ferocious, comparable to the top ten powerhouses on the reserve list of Heavenly Lords. With thousands and millions of them swarming up to blot out the sky and cover the sun, an ordinary Heavenly Lord would definitively meet an untimely end.
It was a pity; what kind of character was Fang Han? With a wave of his hand, a stroke of sword Qi slashed out. These avian birds exploded one after another, transforming into original Qi that was sucked into his body. This bit of original Qi provided pitifully small nourishment for him, but it was better than nothing. Furthermore, he collected the souls of these Heavenly Fowl Nine-Headed Birds, which he could bring back to condense flying swords for his disciples, guaranteeing they would move like lightning to slaughter ghosts and slay gods…
"Detestable!"
Along the way naturally, as Fang Han flew out of this mountain range, it was unknown how many attacks he encountered. Numerous powerful monsters beset him with inexplicable sieges. They were all rare and powerful existences between heaven and earth, and some were even derivative monsters that had never been seen before. It seemed they were exclusive to this Realm Above the Realm.
Sometimes, even as he crossed over a patch of a river, monsters resembling demonic dragons unexpectedly flew out of that river to attack him, and they came in swarms. Some demonic dragon monster leaders were actually experts equivalent to the level of Heavenly Lords.
It was a pity that these monsters were no match for Fang Han. With a wave of his hand, they were wiped out like flying ash, yet they were entirely bothersome. A large number of flies was also extremely annoying.
Particularly, when Fang Han passed a massive mountain peak piercing the sky, a nest of over a hundred million bat-like magical beasts actually appeared. These magical beasts each possessed wings like bats, while their bodies resembled Shura devils. Every one of them was thousands of feet tall, roaring like thunder, soaring up into the sky while wielding blood-like weapons in their hands, divine weapons formed from their own "laws of blood."
"In legends, when the supreme Dao of beasts flourished, the Blood God tribe had long since been annihilated in the long river of history. Yet they actually appear here?"
Fang Han's massive memory bank immediately began to search, and he instantly knew that these bat-like demon gods were from the Blood God tribe. They were not part of the God tribe, but rather beast gods of the Beast tribe. Every one of them cultivated the supreme Dao of blood. Rumor had it that the Blood God tribe was born after obtaining the character "Blood" that flowed out of the Gate of Eternal Life. That character "Blood" was also a formidable and invincible character, almost not inferior to the "Buddha" character or the "Demon" character.
These Blood God tribe members persistently attacked Fang Han, multiplying more as they were killed.
After killing for a while, Fang Han truly became enraged. Displaying heaven-turning and earth-shattering methods, he directly flipped entire mountain peaks over. Setting up the Era Divine Formation, he encapsulated the entire Blood God tribe within and then directly refined them.
The whole world instantly became quiet. The entire Blood God tribe was reduced to flying ash amidst wails, leaving behind drops of quintessential blood. For each Blood God, based on the strength of their abilities, the blood varied in size. Some were as small as green beans, while others were as large as fists, all radiantly bright red. Drop after drop rotated, and within them, individual "Blood" characters flickered. The "Blood" characters twisted and snaked, visually representing the scent of fresh blood. This was not a script found anywhere in the world, but precisely the strongest font originating from the Gate of Eternal Life.
However, these fonts were not the original versions.
Even after annihilating this group of the Blood God tribe, Fang Han did not obtain the original manuscript of the strongest "Blood" character.
"I've finally made it out of this mountain range…"
After slaying this swathe of the Blood God tribe, Fang Han saw the massive mountain range before him vanish. A vast and sweeping plain appeared before his eyes, stretching all the way to the depths of the horizon, such that even with his cultivation, he could not see through it. And upon the plain, a tall and towering city stood. The crowds within were bustling, and it actually transmitted the aura of Heavenly Lord cultivators…
"Could this be the gathering place of Heavenly Lord cultivators residing within the Realm Above the Realm?" Fang Han immediately flew over.
