The Realm Upon Realm, within a mysterious mountain range.
The entire Meta Realm and the Epoch City were thoroughly sealed off, practically becoming one with the qi of eternal life. The hidden aura was perfect.
The Grand Dao of Destiny could simulate destiny, making it so that anyone in the Realm Upon Realm could not find any trace of Fang Han's aura. Even with Hua Tiandu deducing with a cultivation of sixteen epochs, he couldn't find a single clue.
At this very moment, Fang Han was lying dormant, cultivating, preparing to soar into the sky. His soul and thoughts were entangled and clashing with the Progenitor Holy King. Under the attacks of this atrocious Immortal King, his cultivation was advancing by leaps and bounds. Especially the tempering of his soul, it was almost infinitely close to an Immortal King, his realm ascending unceasingly.
Moreover, the Progenitor Holy King continuously poured down magical power, condensing into divine patterns streaking across his body. The power formed by these divine patterns was refined by him one by one.
"Progenitor Holy King, you are finished. Let me thoroughly collapse you and return you to the place you belong!"
Suddenly, Fang Han stood up. His entire body was even taller and broader than the Progenitor Holy King. With a mere shake, the purple light blasted apart in succession, and a destructive power shattered the three great incarnations of the Progenitor Holy King inside his body into fine powder. Even the Progenitor Holy King's soul was torn apart.
The power of those three great incarnations all surged into the Epoch Divine Array.
Even the boundless cultivation transmitted across space by the Progenitor Holy King while fighting Fang Han integrated into Fang Han's body.
Fang Han just shook directly, and his cultivation broke through sixteen epochs, still growing continuously. The creation artifact great axe also became an array core, and the Progenitor Holy King's brand inside was truly refined.
At the same time, the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures, tainted with some aura of the creation artifact above, seemed ready to undergo a transformation at any moment.
Arriving at the end, Fang Han stopped at the peak of sixteen epochs, and the cultivation all over his body was itching for a try, ready to advance to the cultivation of seventeen epochs anytime, anywhere.
Concurrently, Fang Qingxue beside him also felt the aura. With a movement, her cultivation began to advance, reaching the realm of fifteen epochs. The power of destiny grew increasingly formidable, awing across the ages.
As the two briefly joined hands, the ocean-like qi of eternal life casually combined. Manipulated by destiny, streams of qi of eternal life actually transformed into human shapes. These human shapes were as tall and big as giant gods, and each giant god's power was no less than a Heavenly Monarch with a cultivation of ten epochs.
"Excellent, Gods of Eternal Life!"
Fang Qingxue could hardly contain the pleasant surprise in her heart: "Fang Han, for your Grand Dao of Destiny manipulating the qi of eternal life to actually be able to evolve Gods of Eternal Life, this is a sign that the Gate of Eternal Life can soon be summoned."
"Is that so?" Fang Han smiled faintly. Opening his mouth to inhale, all the Gods of Eternal Life entered his body. Sitting squarely in the crystal divine kingdoms, they emitted the singing of eternal life. The singing was unfettered, clear, and ethereal, wondrous countless times more than any sound of nature. This was exactly the Song of Eternal Life.
As soon as the singing resounded, deep within the soul, the soul of the Progenitor Holy King completely collapsed, finally letting out a heart-tearing and lung-splitting miserable scream: "The Song of Eternal Life, it's actually the Gods of Eternal Life singing the Song of Eternal Life. Fang Han, wait for my final return. At that time, I will thoroughly triumph over eternal life and let you feel what true despair means."
"Die!" Fang Han completely drove it, and more qi of eternal life rolled in; the Progenitor Holy King's aura vanished.
At the same time, deep within a distant space-time, in a mysterious space-time inside the Gate of Eternal Life, the sealing shackles grew more and more numerous. Countless qi of eternal life had condensed into chains of order.
The unwilling intent of the Progenitor Holy King flashed: "Why, why have my shackles increased again."
"Gods of Eternal Life, Song of Eternal Life…" Sitting squarely cross-legged, Fang Han felt the changes going on inside his body: "I also felt it, the Grand Dao of Destiny is changing again, condensing into Gods of Eternal Life, singing the Song of Eternal Life. As long as I take another step forward and condense more and more powerful divine spirits, I will be able to use a number of Gods of Eternal Life like the sands of the Ganges to hold up the Gate of Eternal Life and perform suppression against opponents. At that time, no one will be my match anymore, not even the Immortal Kings."
"That's right! The Gods of Eternal Life you condense right now have a cultivation equivalent to roughly a Heavenly Monarch of ten epochs. Although considered formidable, compared to a magnificent existence like the Gate of Eternal Life, they remain exceedingly weak. Only when your cultivation advances to the critical point of an Immortal King, mobilizing all the power of eternal life to converge into a torrent of Gods of Eternal Life in a single moment, can you drive the Gate of Eternal Life." Fang Qingxue said.
"Good! Great success!" Having familiarized himself with the aura within his body, Fang Han stood up. Casually flicking his finger, a God of Eternal Life appeared out of thin air right before his eyes. Its body was tall, big, and fierce, tearing heaven and earth, faintly transparent, yet millions of times sturdier than any divine object.
Both being condensed from the qi of eternal life, compared to the structure of this God of Eternal Life, an Immortal King Pill was separated by a mere heaven and earth in disparity.
Creating an Immortal King Pill, even the Lord of the Universe could do it, but as for creating a God of Eternal Life, the Lord of the Universe wouldn't even dare to imagine it.
The difference between an Immortal King Pill and a God of Eternal Life could be compared to utilizing primitive blade and sword tools in the savage era versus the legendary Lord of Time of the supreme optical brain at the pinnacle of the technological era's development.
One was a slash-and-burn civilization, while the other was a civilization capable of shuttling through space-time.
The disparity was just that immense.
If the Lord of the Universe were still alive now and saw that Fang Han could actually create Gods of Eternal Life, he might have been frightened to death on the spot.
Using the qi of eternal life to this degree, not even Immortal Kings could do it. This was the uniqueness of destiny.
"Emperor Feather, Feng Baiyu, Linglong…" With a shift in Fang Han's thoughts, all the grand experts gathered around him: "I will seal Gods of Eternal Life within your bodies! Your skill power will increase massively, and you will be able to perfectly blend into the qi of eternal life, where no one can discover you. Now each of you head out and recruit all the grand experts in this Realm Upon Realm to submit to me. I want to condense all the grand experts into a grand array formation, so as to properly welcome the five decays of heaven and man and the return of those Immortal Kings."
"Yes!"
All the grand experts understood, and with an extra Gate of Eternal Life in their bodies, they vanished without a trace.
However, only half a day passed before all the grand experts returned, reporting piece after piece of information to Fang Han.
"The Lord of the Universe is already dead, his body possessed by Hua Tiandu. The Universe City has now changed into the Heavenly Capital City. Hua Tiandu's cultivation has reached sixteen epochs, reigning over the world. He has already sent out numerous grand experts to recruit everyone. Right now, practically all the Heavenly Monarchs in the Realm Upon Realm have converged in the Heavenly Capital City. The entire Heavenly Capital Sect has grown to become the greatest power in the world throughout all of history."
"It's said that they are currently refining a grand array, imitating the Sect Master's Epoch Divine Array. Relying on his powerful despotic might, Hua Tiandu forced those grand experts into becoming array cores of the grand array."
"They refined the grand array setting out to prepare to head to the Immortal King Battlefield to search for the skeletal remains of the Yellow Springs Great Emperor. Rumor has it that the skeletal remains of the Yellow Springs Great Emperor have turned into a zombie, its magical power surprisingly above sixteen epochs. If Hua Tiandu finds it and integrates it into his own grand array, he can welcome the return of those Immortal Kings."
"Right now, Hua Tiandu can truly be said to have unified the universe, backed by Immortal Kings. Furthermore, right now, he is searching for the whereabouts of our Epoch Sect. Rumor has it that as long as one person uncovers news of the Epoch Sect, Hua Tiandu will heavily reward them."
An ocean of information caused the Epoch Sect to immediately grow tense.
"Fang Han, what do we do now?" Fang Qingxue grew tense as well upon hearing this news.
"No matter. Hua Tiandu could actually grow to this extent all at once? It must surely be Creation, Origin, Truth, and even the Lord of Primordial Beginning making mischief from behind, supporting him to challenge me on the arena." There was not a shred of tension on Fang Han's face: "But that is futile too; it merely serves to perfect me. I don't even need to guess to know that this person must definitely have refined the Three Lives Stone and the skeleton of the Lord of Primordial Beginning… to have his cultivation reach this extent."
While speaking, Fang Han waved his hand. Countless qi of eternal life condensed into a giant eyeball in midair. This eyeball was like a planet, but its pupil was identical to a human's. Scanning the universe, it immediately displayed the image of the Universe City.
Above the huge Universe City, three large characters now appeared: Heavenly Capital City.
Thousands upon ten thousands of Heavenly Monarchs were gathered within the city. Moreover, an invincible aura sat squarely in the center of the city; evidently, it was Hua Tiandu.
Waves of vital energy spiraled like a tide. Those Heavenly Monarchs sitting squarely above the city were wrapped in Hua Tiandu's aura. They seemed to be cultivating a grand array, treating the entire Universe City as its core, cultivating the grand array!
Suddenly, the whole Universe City flew straight up, suspended out of thin air, rolling vital energy washing within it.
Hua Tiandu had actually refined the massive Universe City, turning it into a shell for the grand array!
Even more, Fang Han saw that the cities of the Origin Dynasty and the Sacred Place of Truth had been integrated into the Universe City, and even the Heavenly Court had been integrated inside.
Hua Tiandu was forging the number one grand array throughout the ages, opposing Fang Han's Epoch Divine Array, wanting to exterminate him.
What concept was it to have thousands upon ten thousands of Heavenly Monarchs become array cores? Rumor had it that the Protoss had always wanted to gather ten thousand Heavenly Monarchs to form the Throne of the Ten Thousand Gods, which could truly rule countless epochs, but it was never achieved.
And now, Hua Tiandu accomplished it. The Heavenly Monarchs in this Realm Upon Realm basically all submitted to him. With the number of Heavenly Monarchs far exceeding ten thousand and united together, Hua Tiandu's strength was solidly enough to elevate by another fold.
"Such strong power!" Fang Qingxue's face completely changed. She felt that if she were to encounter the current Hua Tiandu, she would surely struggle to come out unscathed.
"The power is strong, yet a bit superficial. I can defeat him now. However, he has Immortal Kings backing him; if they interfere again, it will be hard to handle." Fang Han's face remained calm as usual: "This realm of Hua Tiandu's wasn't slayed out like mine was with the Progenitor Holy King; it was elevated by relying on the Three Lives Stone."
