"Presumptuous."
Fang Han sat upright and unmoving. Facing that hand reaching out to grab him, he spat out two words. Raging flames shot out from his eyes, condensing into a volcano that crashed toward the palm.
The two collided mid-air.
With an earth-shattering boom, the palm was completely smashed open and torn apart by the flaming mountain, and then the flames swept over, burning fiercely on the body of the "Ancestor Fallen Witch".
Ah ah ah! Ancestor Fallen Witch let out miserable screams. His entire body was enveloped in a type of flame. Even the armor forged from divine artifacts of the heavens was melted directly, turning into drops of wax-like liquid flowing onto the ground.
"I will fight you to the death." Ancestor Fallen Witch's vital energy was greatly damaged. No matter what, he could not extinguish the flames. He circulated dozens of cultivation methods in a row, but the flames grew increasingly fierce, actually assimilating his Heavenly Monarch origin.
He instantly knew that he had encountered an absolute expert, a super powerhouse, and right now, he could only risk his life.
With a tiger-like roar, he evolved a massive kingdom. The Kingdom of Heavenly Witches descended into the cosmos, trapping Fang Han within. Inside that Kingdom of Heavenly Witches, witch aura ran rampant everywhere. Thrones of the Witch God Kings formed a pantheon, unleashing ultimate killing techniques toward Fang Han. Various witchcraft divine abilities, like a vast torrent, washed over, reducing everything to silence.
Seeing the Kingdom of Heavenly Witches enveloping downwards, Fang Han just threw a punch. The massive fist pierced through the eons, shattering a hundred thousand great provinces, causing the earth to sink and the firmament to rupture.
That Kingdom of Heavenly Witches was punched right through.
The fist solidly struck the flame-entwined body of Ancestor Fallen Witch.
Bang!
Ancestor Fallen Witch flew out entirely like a cannonball, crashed into the wall, bounced back, and rolled several times on the ground. The flames on his body burned fiercely; not only did they not extinguish, but they also grew larger and larger.
"Ancestor Fallen Witch!" Ancestor Black Witch and Ancestor Eclipse Witch hurriedly made a move, driving countless techniques, wanting to put out the flames on Ancestor Fallen Witch's body. Unfortunately, these flames instead burned onto their bodies, making them scramble in a panic.
"Brother Fang Han, please show mercy. Ancestor Fallen Witch was merely testing you," Ancestor Black Witch hurriedly said.
"Hmph! Testing? Unleashing a God-Extinguishing Palm right from the start, clearly aiming for my life. Fortunately, my magic power is strong. Even an invincible existence with a cultivation of thirteen epochs can be killed by me bare-handed. However, if one's skills are inferior, they deserve to die. This universe is originally a world where the strong prey on the weak. Very well, I will let you off." With a wave of Fang Han's large hand, that raging Epoch True Fire was instantly drawn back into his body, and the three great Ancestor Witches immediately regained their mobility.
With this move, Fang Han also gained a tremendous understanding of his own Dao techniques. After comprehending the Great Destiny Technique, his combat power had indeed increased by more than several times.
If he went to the Heaven Realm now, searching for Hua Tiandu, the mysterious white-clothed envoy, the people of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Mother, and the Lord of War, he could kill them one by one. He could even seize the Three Lives Stone and the skeleton of the Lord of Primeval.
"With my current cultivation, should I go directly to the Heaven Realm to kill? These three great giants—Ancestor Black Witch, Ancestor Fallen Witch, and Ancestor Eclipse Witch—are not my match. Facing the Heavenly Mother, I can capture her effortlessly… If I go kill now, I will definitely succeed. Let me calculate."
Fang Han examined his own magic power and found that his cultivation was strong enough to accomplish everything, so the thought of immediately descending to the Heaven Realm to kill his enemies arose.
The first person he calculated was Hua Tiandu, because it could be said with certainty that the Three Lives Stone and the skeleton of the Lord of Primeval should be in Hua Tiandu's hands.
"Hmm? Hua Tiandu's destiny is endless, and I actually cannot calculate it? It is possible that he is fusing with the Three Lives Stone, but he is not in the Heavenly Ceremony Mother Sect…" During Fang Han's calculation, he actually found out that Hua Tiandu's aura was flickering erratically. Sometimes it was in the Heaven Realm, and sometimes, it was actually in this Realm Above Realms!
In other words, Hua Tiandu seemed to have also come to the Realm Above Realms to cultivate.
However, this was also very reasonable. That mysterious white-clothed envoy went down from the Realm Above Realms. Since Hua Tiandu needed to cultivate, he would definitely come to the Realm Above Realms.
The Realm Above Realms was an excellent place for cultivation and had very good benefits for breaking through realms.
Fang Han calculated again and unexpectedly discovered that the many figures of the Heavenly Court might also be in the Realm Above Realms. Moreover, the fates of the Heavenly Monarchs of Chaos, Eternity, Disaster, and Slaughter were elusive. They seemed to be breaking through to another extremely formidable realm.
"That's right. These four great Heavenly Monarchs all have profound cultivation, all reaching the peak of nine epochs. Successfully refining the Thirty-Three Heavens treasures gave them a tremendous realm elevation as well. Now they need to cultivate directly to reach the realm of ten epochs. Coming to the Realm Above Realms to comprehend is the best choice."
Fang Han immediately understood.
The cultivation of nine epochs and the cultivation of ten epochs had a massive gap. Because of this, the Holy King of Terminus, while besieged by many Heavenly Monarchs, shattered an unknown number of Heavenly Monarchs before being ultimately sealed.
"It seems my enemies have all come to the Realm Above Realms. This way, I won't have to worry either. The Origin Realm at the bottom is very stable. However… should I consider moving the Origin Realm to the Realm Above Realms?" Fang Han pondered, but after thinking for a while, he dropped the idea. The things present in the Realm Above Realms now were also in the Origin Realm, and there was no lack of Eternal Life Qi. The only thing missing was the Immortal King Pill. However, his group of disciples now had enough cultivation materials. What they needed was precipitation. No matter how much material was dumped on them, their cultivation might not yield results, and being too smooth caused great hindrances.
It was just like in the Heavenly Ceremony Mother Sect; breathing the mythical air currents resulted in overly fast cultivation, making the Heavenly Tribulation fiercely messy. Many disciples could only stay at the stage of Supreme Heavenly Lord but simply could not break through that barrier of Heavenly Monarch.
As long as the Realm Above Realms was extremely dangerous, thinking about it, there was the terrifying figure, Lord of Qiankun, with a cultivation of fifteen epochs. There might also be experts with thirteen or fourteen epochs.
Fang Han made a decision. He would wait until he found Fang Qingxue to discuss it together before moving the Origin Realm to the Realm Above Realms.
"How about it? Are you three Ancestor Witches willing to be the Supreme Elders of my Epoch Gate?" Fang Han sat imposingly, and a throne formed from flowing Eternal Life Qi appeared beneath him.
"You…" Seeing Fang Han defeat him in a few casual moves, as simple as eating and drinking, Ancestor Fallen Witch also understood that he had met a true expert: "If it is really as you say, that you are a peerless expert capable of tearing apart those of thirteen epochs, then your cultivation in the Realm Above Realms can also rank in the top ten! This is the cultivation of an invincible giant. If our Witch race follows you, we will definitely be able to flourish."
Someone who could kill figures of thirteen epochs must be an expert with a cultivation of fourteen epochs. This kind of cultivation, although not comparable to the legendary Lord of Qiankun with fifteen epochs of cultivation, was indeed as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the Realm Above Realms.
However, Fang Han was a freak. Up to now, being able to kill someone with thirteen epochs of cultivation using twelve epochs of cultivation meant his strength was not much different from a figure with fourteen epochs of cultivation.
Given time, as long as he broke through to the cultivation of thirteen epochs, he would definitely be able to match peerless experts of fourteen epochs.
Therefore, facing the domineering Fang Han, these three great witches could only bow submissively. What did fourteen epochs of cultivation mean? It was enough to kill them ten thousand times.
The Realm Above Realms was vast and boundless, with experts as numerous as clouds. It gathered all the elites of the Heaven Realm, supreme antiques from many epochs ago. They could only be considered second-rate. To use an analogy, if experts of fourteen epochs were royals and nobles, then they were local gentry; their statuses couldn't be compared.
Being able to build a good relationship with a great expert like Fang Han was exactly what they wished for.
Cultivation in the Realm Above Realms was also incomparably cruel.
In this world, everything was determined by strength. When strength reached a certain level of formidable power, all schemes and resistance were futile.
Instantly, Fang Han and the three great witches reached an agreement. The three Ancestor Witches swore a great Witch oath to the character 'Witch', becoming the Supreme Elders of the Epoch Gate.
At the same time, Fang Han gave the three great witches enough Immortal King Pills for cultivation. Simultaneously, the three great witches also contributed some of the divine artifacts of the heavens they had accumulated to Fang Han to let him improve his cultivation.
The four great experts cultivated here in the ancient Witch city, exchanging insights with each other. Meanwhile, Fang Han inquired them about some secret news of the Realm Above Realms, as well as ancient events. Plus, after this period of cultivation, Fang Han's comprehension of witchcraft became even more transparent. The essence of witchcraft is nature—being close to nature and intimate with nature. Compared to Dao techniques, it is easier to borrow the power of heaven, earth, ghosts, and gods. However, precisely because of this, the tempering of the physical body and primal spirit is not as pure as the Immortal Dao. When the two are combined, it is easier to advance.
The three great witches could be said to have grasped all the essence of the Witch Gate, enabling Fang Han to understand some principles even more clearly.
He also roughly came to know about some formidable figures in the Realm Above Realms.
After cultivating for about three days, the aura all over Fang Han's body grew denser and denser, having reached a critical point. The three great witches still had quite a few good things, which enriched his Epoch Divine Array. Especially his own comprehension of the Great Destiny Technique had become increasingly profound. He was finally about to begin to transform and advance to the supreme peak of thirteen epochs.
However, just as he was about to alter his life form, a sudden loud bang resonated throughout the entire ancient Witch city, and a rolling voice came from outside: "Heavenly Monarch Duobao and Heavenly Monarch Taishang have come to see Ancestor Black Witch to discuss important matters."
Countless formidable auras instantly enveloped heaven and earth. The intense auras swept across the cosmos, almost making one suspect that an Immortal King had descended.
Fang Han stood up abruptly and saw high up in the sky outside the ancient Witch city, two great existences enveloped in divine light. One of them wore a tall hat and peculiar clothes, his robes fluttering with an ancient demeanor, while the other was extremely thin and gaunt, the bones and muscles of his whole body devoid of any impurities, like hundred-refined divine steel.
"Heavenly Monarch Duobao and Heavenly Monarch Taishang…"
