Rumble!
The moment Fang Han and Fang Qingxue cultivated with the Ancestor Holy King and infused the power of destiny into the bodies of the three great dharma bodies, instantly, the cultivation of the three great dharma bodies actually all began to break through the bottleneck!
Originally, the power of each of the three great dharma bodies was at the peak of fourteen epochs. With the three joining forces, the three origins returning to one, they could reach the realm of fifteen epochs of cultivation.
But now, every single one of them was on the verge of breaking through to the level of fifteen epochs.
If they broke through completely all at once, then immediately, a storm of blood and gore would be set off within the Epoch Gate. If three experts with fifteen epochs of cultivation slaughtered their way into the Epoch Gate, Fang Han and Fang Qingxue absolutely could not withstand them. The disciples of the Epoch Gate would at the very least die in massive numbers, and the sect might even be exterminated. Even Feng Baiyu, Emperor Feather, and the others were no match for them, and would be slaughtered within almost three moves and two stances.
"Suppress!"
Upon this shock, Fang Han knew it was no trifling matter. However, he had his own plans. With his body acting as the center of the entire Epoch Gate, and borrowing the power of the Meta Realm, he had already set up a great array long ago.
All the experts of the Epoch Gate received his will almost at the exact same time.
Immediately, all the experts sitting upright in the depths of the Meta Realm, within various array formations, continuously urged the essence of the arrays. The World Tree exerted pressure, and from above the Primordial Hall, strips of Primordial Qi draped down.
"Ancestor Holy King, I have already infused the power of destiny into your body. Swiftly release your true self and feedback more magical power to us!" Fang Han and Fang Qingxue moved simultaneously. Relying on the Great Destiny Technique, their minds actually fused into one with the will of the Ancestor Holy King. They passed through endless and inexhaustible obstructions and entered into a certain unknown depth; their wills, it seemed, had also entered the Gate of Eternal Life.
Rumble!
As his will shuttled through, relying on the unhindered nature of destiny, Fang Han saw a massive body sealed within chains condensed from strips of eternal life vital energy.
Every single thick chain was a condensation of eternal life vital energy. The method of condensation of this eternal life vital energy was extremely bizarre; the talismans were tiny, and within every talisman, the Three Thousand Great Daos were contained. Immortal techniques, sorcery techniques, Buddhist techniques, divine techniques, beast techniques… numerous as the sands of the Ganges. It seemed that all the civilizations of the epochs were contained within the chains of eternal life.
Every tiny section of those chains contained enough eternal life vital energy to destroy heaven and earth. It was absolutely impossible for Fang Han to condense eternal life vital energy like this.
Not even an Immortal King could do it.
The tall divine body was just like this, trapped by countless chains in a mysterious unknown void. Those chains continuously locked onto his physical form, locked his thoughts, and locked his magical power and vital energy.
And now, when Fang Han's will, carrying the power of destiny, transmitted inside from the distant Realm Above Realms, those chains sensed the Qi of destiny and began trembling one after another, seemingly about to melt and shatter.
In that instant, that tall divine body began to shout: "That's right, Fang Han! Swiftly utilize this power to rescue me from it! Your power of destiny cannot cut all the fetters, but it can grant me some leeway to breathe, allowing me to transmit more power out from within."
That tall divine body was exactly the body of the Ancestor Holy King. No one knew how many hundreds of millions of miles tall it was. With a wave of his palm, he could cover boundless worlds and planes. As he breathed, countless lights condensed into the sun and moon; as he blew air, cosmic storms would sweep across the past and future. The divine body of the Ancestor Holy King was entirely purple, vast like amethyst, clear, pure, and carrying a supreme and noble aura. His facial expression was also majestic, an innate emperor. The blue sky and great earth all had to submit at his feet; this was the cultivation of a supreme Immortal King.
At the very least, it was above twenty epochs!
If he truly came out from the Gate of Eternal Life, this Ancestor Holy King could probably crush Fang Han, Fang Qingxue, and the entire Epoch Gate to death with just one hand, without any suspense whatsoever.
Too powerful, an Immortal King! This was the power of an Immortal King.
But now, the Immortal King was locked and trapped in an unknown space within the Gate of Eternal Life, entirely unable to come out, only able to transmit his will out to eke out a meager existence.
"Ancestor Holy King, us executing the Great Destiny Technique to free the fetters on your body is not impossible, but you must feedback power over first!" At this moment, Fang Han and Fang Qingxue joined forces; their will and destiny were impregnable. That power of destiny encircled the divine body, yet delayed falling and melting the chains.
"Good! I will feedback power to you once again!" The Ancestor Holy King's tall body trembled within the chains in the unknown depths. Suddenly, several chains on his body all snapped. Immediately, an even vaster will crossed space and arrived, causing the entire Epoch Gate to tremble.
However, this will did not empower the bodies of Fang Han and Fang Qingxue. Instead, it abruptly empowered the Artifact of Creation held by the End Holy King, the great axe.
The Artifact of Creation great axe suddenly lit up with a purple glow upon it, showcasing unearthly craftsmanship, and soared straight up!
The End Holy King let out a loud roar, spraying out a mouthful of fresh blood; he was directly injured by the shock! "Fang Han, watch out! This Ancestor Holy King calculates deeply. He intends to ambush you, using your power of destiny to allow his true body to thoroughly emerge from the Gate of Eternal Life ahead of time."
Originally, the End Holy King thought he had refined the Artifact of Creation great axe, but he had never expected that once guided by the Ancestor Holy King's power, this axe would immediately reveal its main body, causing him to suffer heavy injuries.
Crack!
The giant axe flew directly into the altar, landing right into the hands of the most central of the three dharma bodies, the middle-aged man representing the Ancestor Holy King at his prime.
"Axe of Nature! Today, I will let you display your true power. After you chopped down the World Tree back then, you have been lonely for far too long. Today, I will not let you be lonely any longer. The time for us to dominate the heavens has arrived!"
Sizzle!
The great axe of this Ancestor Holy King, grasped in the hands of the dharma body, was actually raised high, and chopped right down towards Fang Han and Fang Qingxue with a single swing!
Buzz… the entire Epoch City was almost completely shattered by the shock of this axe. The experts hosting the great array—Emperor Feather, Feng Baiyu, the three great sorcerers, Night Emperor Heavenly Monarch, the Human Emperor Brush… these experts all sprayed a mouthful of fresh blood, their faces turning pale, seeing stars, unable to catch their breath.
Those Heavenly Monarchs with still shallow cultivations, such as the newly advanced Star Cloud Baby, Jialan, Long Xuan, and the others, could not endure it; their bodies exploded apart, suffering a heavy blow.
"Courting death! Ancestor Holy King, you actually dare to ambush us. Did you think I could not detect your intentions?" In this instant, Fang Han seemed to have long since seen clearly through the Ancestor Holy King's conspiracy. He abruptly stood up, his five fingers opened, his palm transforming into a Primordial Ancestor Dragon claw, and viciously grabbed over, directly resisting the strike of the Artifact of Creation great axe.
Clang!
This strike from the Artifact of Creation great axe actually failed to shatter Fang Han's palm. However, Fang Han and Fang Qingxue both felt a suction force transmit from the great axe, sucking away their power of destiny at once, transmitting it into the distant space-time of that Gate of Eternal Life.
Crack, crack, crack…
On that massive divine body locked deep somewhere within the Gate of Eternal Life, the chains upon it snapped one after another, and the Ancestor Holy King's divine body moved even more vigorously.
His two eyes snapped open. The light and heat emitted from each eyeball were thousands of times brighter than the great sun of the Heaven Realm. The densely packed pupils were worlds and planes one after another; his both eyes mastered everything.
"God!" The Ancestor Holy King's voice pierced through the distant space-time, transmitting into Epoch City, and he chopped down with the axe once again.
Fang Qingxue and Fang Han joined forces to launch their strongest strike. The ancient characters and heavenly divine objects on Fang Han's body all swept out, rolling forward like a torrent, striking upon the Artifact of Creation great axe, actually freezing the great axe right there in mid-air.
"Power of Destiny, Manipulate Souls, Destroy Puppets." Fang Qingxue flipped her hand and struck out the Great Destiny Technique; countless streams of the power of destiny entangled the three great puppet dharma bodies.
"Ancestor Holy King, I thought you would launch your conspiracy a bit later. To think you launched it so quickly; your patience truly is a bit too poor. We have ample methods to deal with you!"
"Is that so? I will completely suppress you, refine you, and borrow your power of destiny to break the fetters. Once you die, the entire Epoch Gate will be in my grasp." The Ancestor Holy King's tone carried the confidence of having everything under control. His three dharma bodies suddenly scattered apart, actually transforming directly into vital energy, merging with the power of destiny on the bodies of Fang Qingxue and Fang Han.
There was another flurry of crackling sounds. From deep within the distant space-time transmitted the sound of snapping chains.
The fetters on the Ancestor Holy King loosened somewhat further, and the might he could unleash grew even greater.
Following the disappearance of the sound of snapping fetters, a purple light resembling a heaven-piercing pillar bombarded down from the void, entirely empowering the Artifact of Creation great axe.
The three scattered dharma bodies twirled and rotated with the Artifact of Creation great axe, condensing into form once again. Each one jolted fiercely and actually directly began to advance to the cultivation of fifteen epochs.
"We cannot let them advance and recover! Otherwise, there will be a tremendous disaster in this Epoch City!" With almost a single thought of his divine intent, Fang Han leaped up fiercely. His entire body transformed into an Epoch Divine Array, shrouding towards the Artifact of Creation great axe and those three advancing dharma bodies.
The massive divine array, carrying heavenly divine objects and countless ancient characters, rotated and evolved into a world similar to the Gate of Eternal Life. Massive eternal life vital energy tore through the air and arrived, actually also condensing into chains strip by strip, exactly identical to the chains within the Gate of Eternal Life; they were formed under the empowerment of the power of destiny.
"Ancestor Holy King, thank you! For letting me glimpse some of the mysteries of the Gate of Eternal Life. Just from these chains of order alone, I can comprehend the supreme and profound underlying principles to lock you down once again. Go ahead and pour your power down, let the three great dharma bodies break through! Breaking through to fifteen epochs is exactly right for merging into my body, allowing my power to assail the cultivation of sixteen epochs."
Fang Han already had everything under his control.
