"Great Destiny Technique!"
Angry roars emanated from within that "Calabash of Qiankun," the thick, heavy voice also turning sharp. The calabash violently sprayed outwards, attempting to absorb all the power of destiny into it.
However, just as the Calabash of Qiankun absorbed the power of destiny, explosions began within it. Successive sounds echoed through heaven and earth, like massive chimes and grand bells.
"The power of destiny is not something a person can absorb. You are not the Gate of Eternal Life, yet you still wish to manipulate destiny? Lord of Qiankun, your head is temporarily preserved for now. Once Fang Han and I cultivate to fifteen epochs, it will be the day of your death." Fang Qingxue's entire body completely transformed into a long river of destiny. Those ninety-nine supreme divine cities flowed within the river of destiny, just like an earthly paradise, a heavenly palace, an eternal city.
A cruel smile appeared on Fang Han's face. By flipping his palm, numerous multiversal divine artifacts formed the Epoch Grand Array, expanding outwards. Instantly, a blank space was created within the universe; this World Above Worlds trembled violently, and he and Fang Qingxue completely lost all traces, totally disappearing.
Leaving behind only a massive calabash floating all alone in the void.
After a long while, that calabash gradually shrank, and a youth leaped out from within. This youth looked extremely young, appearing to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his eyes were too ancient. He seemed like an elderly man who had seen through the affairs of the world, wise yet not senile.
This was the Lord of Qiankun.
The number one expert of the World Above Worlds, with the cultivation of fifteen epochs, and personally a Good Fortune Divine Artifact, absolutely no one could be his opponent. Yet now, Fang Han and Fang Qingxue, by joining hands, lightly and easily shook off his restraints.
"The man and woman formed by these two great tribulations are truly formidable. If I could capture them and comprehend their essences, I would be the number one person among the heavens. Even if an Immortal King returns, they would not be my match. What a pity, what a pity." The Lord of Qiankun shook his head: "The Great Destiny Technique truly deserves to be the number one method among the Three Thousand Great Daos. Even I cannot withstand it."
"Lord of Qiankun, what do we do now? These two absolutely cannot be captured or subdued. Nobody expected that Fang Han had actually cultivated to such a realm." A stream of Yin and Yang energy washed out, condensing into the Lord of Yin and Yang. His face was ghastly pale, heavily injured, and he had also lost his bottom-of-the-box technique, the "Yin and Yang Dharma Gods".
"No matter, I will issue the Qiankun Order to summon all the experts in this World Above Worlds, calling them to come to Qiankun City for a meeting. There is still some time until the great destruction of heaven and earth in this epoch, and the return of those Immortal Kings is also still early. We still have time. Right now, my magic power can entirely suppress the two of them. Joining forces will be more than enough to subjugate them." The Lord of Qiankun waved his hand, "Lord of Yin and Yang, go invite the Twin仪 (Liangyi) Ancestor, the Lord of Fresh Blood… Get all these people to come here. I need to discuss the matter of slaying the two of them and dealing with the Epoch Sect. Also, you must invite the Black and White Envoys as well as the Nine Heavens Mystical Girl over; I also have matters to discuss with them."
"What? The Heavenly Court's Black and White Envoys of the Heavenly Realm? The Nine Heavens Mystical Girl? Their cultivation bases are extremely shallow, merely eleven epochs right now. How can they help? They are merely second-rate figures in this World Above Worlds." The Lord of Yin and Yang sneered disdainfully.
"Do not underestimate them, because they have already received the intent of the Good Fortune Immortal King." The Lord of Qiankun said: "The Good Fortune Immortal King can actually break through the bindings of the Gate of Eternal Life, transmitting his intent from within to arrange various things for them. He also left behind a seed to deal with that Fang Han. That seed is called Hua Tiandu. Right now, he cannot show any miraculousness, but later, when multiversal divine artifacts erupt from the Gate of Eternal Life, he will exert his true might and contend for destiny against Fang Han. I must also hold this chess piece in my hand."
"Brilliant!"
The Lord of Yin and Yang praised: "However, Lord of Qiankun, when you auctioned off the Heaven and Earth Mystic Gate and that longevity character, you planted your soul imprints within them. Why didn't you utilize them just now to properly control Fang Han?"
"It is not yet the degree to utilize them. Relying on those marks, I can seek out the whereabouts of Fang Han and the Electric Mother Heavenly Monarch." The Lord of Qiankun placed his hands behind his back: "They cannot run away. Why waste them now? If they become alert, it would be unbeautiful instead. Once I gather many experts and set up the Extinction Divine Array, luring them inside, and then exert the effect of the imprints at that time, it will be practically guaranteed. What I want now is not a single flaw. I want it perfect, I want it flawless!"
"The Lord of Qiankun is brilliant as expected. I shall go right away. But when the great tribulation arrives and the Gate of Eternal Life spews out divine artifacts, you must still give me a share. I am suffering disastrous losses right now." The Lord of Yin and Yang was somewhat ingratiating.
"No matter, as long as I ascend to Immortal King, there will be endless benefits for you." With a wave of the Lord of Qiankun's large hand, the Lord of Yin and Yang soared into the sky.
"Good idea, Lord of Qiankun… You want all the experts of fourteen epochs to unite, set up a grand array, and then perform a blood sacrifice, right?"
Just after the Lord of Yin and Yang left, a voice transmitted from behind the Lord of Qiankun. It was a woman's voice. This woman's magic power was extremely weak. She wore a phoenix coronet and robes of state. However, the weakness was relative to the Lord of Qiankun. In reality, she was also a super giant head, her cultivation reaching a full twelve epochs, and it was growing with every passing moment.
"Nine Heavens Mystical Girl, your magic power has increased again. Not long ago, it was merely at the cultivation of eleven epochs, but now you have reached twelve epochs. Even so, with your slight cultivation, I could suppress you with a backhand. Are you not afraid that I will slay you? Or make you my slave girl. You were the most favored concubine of the Good Fortune Immortal King back then. I am rather interested in taking you as a slave girl." The Lord of Qiankun looked at the Nine Heavens Mystical Girl with great interest, like an emperor selecting a concubine.
"Oh? Lord of Qiankun, you may try. If you are not afraid of the Good Fortune Immortal King slaying you when he erupts from the Gate of Eternal Life at the time of this epoch's destruction, you can go right ahead." The Nine Heavens Mystical Girl smiled.
"Hmph! Ten thousand years is too long. Perhaps by that time, I will have already successfully cultivated into an Immortal King." The Lord of Qiankun violently flipped his large sleeve. Instantly, a giant palm entirely composed of storms appeared in midair, pressing down and attempting to grab the Nine Heavens Mystical Girl.
However, right when that giant palm of storms made contact with the Nine Heavens Mystical Girl's body, a boundless, endless intent, continuous like mountains, majestic and vast beyond measure, transmitted out. With just a pierce, that giant palm of storms directly collapsed.
"Thump thump thump…"
The Lord of Qiankun stumbled back three steps in a row, his expression extremely awful, as his mouth spat out five words: "Good Fortune Immortal King!"
"Correct, Lord of Qiankun, it is exactly this seat!"
A voice coming from the profound void was not loud; it could even be described as very faint. Yet when it reached the Lord of Qiankun's ears, it could be called an unceasing shock, causing even his primal spirit to begin shaking. This had already completely surpassed the abilities of all Heavenly Monarchs; it was the grand and dignified means of an Immortal King.
"Good Fortune Immortal King… you…"
The Lord of Qiankun stood guard with focus, his expression unpredictable, but then that voice disappeared, seemingly disdainful of speaking with the Lord of Qiankun.
The Nine Heavens Mystical Girl laughed instead: "Alright, Lord of Qiankun, the Good Fortune Immortal King is still inside the Gate of Eternal Life. However, he is already able to transmit his divine sense at any time, augmenting it upon my body. The moment you attack me, the Good Fortune Immortal King inside the Gate of Eternal Life can sense it. If you want to slay me, then the Good Fortune Immortal King will even damage his origin, augmenting all his Immortal King intent and power onto my body to contend with you."
"Has the Good Fortune Immortal King actually become so formidable?" The Lord of Qiankun's face turned cold: "What do you want? Seeking me out today?"
"Nothing much. I just want to cooperate with you, arranging everything well for the return of the Good Fortune Immortal King. It also aligns with your interests: dealing with Fang Han and Fang Qingxue." The Nine Heavens Mystical Girl said.
"What exactly are the origins of Fang Han and Fang Qingxue? Can you tell me in detail?" The Lord of Qiankun's expression shifted, inquiring: "I only know that he is a key figure within the great tribulation. However, the Good Fortune Immortal King can certainly know much clearer than me. Speak! Who exactly is Fang Han?"
"Alright, I'll tell you a little. Back then, under a stroke of fortuitous encounter, the Electric Mother Heavenly Monarch entered the Gate of Eternal Life and brought out an item. This item surpassed all mutliversal divine artifacts; the Three Lives Stone was merely its plaything. Later, this item completely disappeared, but the Good Fortune Immortal King suspects that it has reincarnated into Fang Han."
The Nine Heavens Mystical Girl spoke slowly, causing the Lord of Qiankun's face to become heavy.
"What? Brought out an item with even greater might than the Three Lives Stone, and the Three Lives Stone was merely its plaything? What kind of existence is this item? However, I feel that Fang Han merely cultivated invincible divine abilities purely through plundering. There is nothing peculiar about him; at least, right now, I cannot sense any miraculousness whatsoever." The Lord of Qiankun thought for a moment and shook his head.
If Fang Han truly was that kind of existence, he would have cultivated into an Immortal King long ago; his achievements would far exceed his current state.
What was the Three Lives Stone? The number one divine artifact among all the heavens. If the Lord of Primordial hadn't securely guarded it and prevented it from reincarnating, it would have become an Immortal King long ago.
To be able to treat the Three Lives Stone as a plaything, what kind of existence was that?
"Believe it or not, I don't know the exact details either. Only an Immortal King can fully know the secrets within this. Neither of us are at the realm of Immortal King; even if some things were told to you, you wouldn't necessarily be able to fully comprehend them." The Nine Heavens Mystical Girl said unhurriedly: "Right now, in this era without Immortal Kings, you are the number one expert; this is indisputable. Therefore, we need your help to truly deal with Fang Han. How about it? What you just said, about grasping Hua Tiandu in your hands, I agree to it. From now on, Hua Tiandu is your apprentice. You must fully cultivate him. This is the transaction between us. Hua Tiandu, come out now."
"Yes!"
Hua Tiandu walked out from the void, a point of spiritual light flashing between his brows, actually displaying an Immortal King's aura. He knelt on one knee before the Lord of Qiankun: "Hua Tiandu greets Master."
