Bang!
A zombie Evil Spirit with a full thirteen epochs of cultivation charged out from the frantic laws within the Immortal King Battlefield. This Evil Spirit was ten thousand zhang tall, holding a pair of huge bronze battle hammers. Each hammer was as large as a mountain. When they collided in the air, the sonic waves could vibrate an ordinary Heavenly Monarch to death alive.
However, the moment this powerful zombie Evil Spirit appeared above the Universe City, large hands immediately grabbed down, covering the sky and earth, pressing this Evil Spirit inside.
Subsequently, Grand Emperor Heaven escorted this Evil Spirit and arrived before Hua Tiandu: "Sect Master, to think we actually captured the Lord of the Giant Hammers. This Lord of the Giant Hammers is a grand expert who has lived for many epochs, and his pair of giant hammers are divine objects. Now both the person and the corpse are offered to the Sect Master. I hope the Sect Master can rely on him to cultivate again to a more profound realm."
"Good. The Lord of the Giant Hammers, this zombie is also probably going to break through to fourteen epochs of cultivation soon. However, its fierce might is too deep. I must suck him into the Universe Gourd, purify him, and then turn him into an array core in my body." From the space between Hua Tiandu's eyebrows, a streak of brilliance suddenly shot out. Within the brilliance was a small gourd.
The mouth of the gourd aligned with this Lord of the Giant Hammers, sucking him inside with a whoosh. Immediately, the splashing sound of water splashed out from inside.
A brand-new Lord of the Giant Hammers turned into a tiny figure the size of dust, circulating within Hua Tiandu's blood.
"Detestable. Although I have refined thousands upon ten thousands of Heavenly Monarchs and Evil Spirits into a grand array, serving as the array cores, I still feel it is imperfect and falls far short of Fang Han's Epoch Divine Array. The power of those Heavenly Monarchs is mixed and impure. If I absorb it, my aura will instead become mixed as well, affecting my cultivation."
Hua Tiandu turned his magical power for a while. Feeling unsatisfied, he could not help but roar viciously.
He had exchanged blows with Fang Han many times, and deeply felt the formidable nature of Fang Han's Way of Epoch. To actually be able to integrate all divine objects as one after devouring the heavens, making no distinction between each other. Yet he could not. Simply uniting many Heavenly Monarchs resulted in a mixed aura that made him unable to govern them.
Originally, he wanted to learn from Fang Han's devouring of countless powerful existences, where every single devour increased magical power by a portion. Pity that this was impossible. The more things he absorbed, the harder he felt it was to govern and purify them.
It was as if within these heavens, only Fang Han's Way of Epoch possessed the characteristic of devouring, perfectly digesting whatever was devoured.
The Way of Epoch accommodated all things, and all things were within it.
"The Sect Master need not be anxious. Cultivation must be taken step by step. That Fang Han is an anomaly between heaven and earth. Only step by step could he walk to the present point. But you are different. Now your overriding momentum is established. As long as you find out Fang Han's location, you can exterminate his entire family. Oh right, I just received the intent of the Immortal King of Creation. It is said that deep in this Immortal King Battlefield, besides the skeletal remains of the Yellow Springs Great Emperor, there are also the skeletal remains of the Three Emperors of Antiquity, which have likewise turned into powerful zombie Evil Spirits. You must obtain them. These things all share an affinity with Fang Han. If you obtain them, you can divert Fang Han's destiny, completely slaughtering him so that he never has another chance to turn over." Grand Emperor Heaven lowered his head again, recounting this. It was fundamentally entirely different from his overriding, awe-inspiring domineering aura in the secular world back then.
"The skeletal remains of the Three Emperors of Antiquity? Very good!" Hua Tiandu clenched his iron fist, "They are all mine. Fang Han can forget about getting even a bit. The moment he appears will be the arrival of his doomsday."
"Haha, haha…"
Right at this moment, countless cheers transmitted from outside the Heavenly Capital City again. Subsequently, the Lord of Fresh Blood with a cultivation of fourteen epochs, the Lord of Yin and Yang, and the Ancestor of Two Modes captured a skeleton holding a Cold Flame Saw grand blade. Taking it forward, they deeply kneeled in worship to Hua Tiandu, kowtowed, and then said: "Sect Master, we have captured another powerful Artifact Spirit, the Lord of Cold Flame."
"Hmm, step down." The Universe Gourd between Hua Tiandu's eyebrows spun, sucking the Lord of Cold Flame into the gourd for washing again. Then he looked at the Lord of Fresh Blood: "Lord of Fresh Blood, although I married your daughter, for the sake of treating everyone equally without discrimination, I must also collect the 'Blood' character from your body. Understand?"
"This…" An awkward expression appeared on the face of the Lord of Fresh Blood.
"Hmph! You are not loyal to me?" Hua Tiandu snorted coldly, and a killing intent manifested instantly.
"Spare me, Sect Master spare me!" Immediately, the Lord of Fresh Blood kowtowed repeatedly. At the same time, Princess Blood Spirit, who had been taken into Hua Tiandu's harem, also stepped out to plead for mercy.
"Sect Master, for the sake of my father being fiercely loyal, please spare his life. He will obediently offer up the 'Blood' character."
"Yes yes yes… Sect Master, I will offer it up with both hands right now."
The Lord of Fresh Blood immediately offered up the massive "Blood" character he cultivated himself, which was then collected away by Hua Tiandu.
"Fine. I will spare you this time. But the death penalty may be avoided while a living punishment is hard to escape. Ancestor of Two Modes, you go up and whip the Lord of Fresh Blood one hundred slaps to the face to give him a reminder, and also to let everyone remember that everything you have is mine, belongs to me, Hua Tiandu! Do you comprehend?" Hua Tiandu's cold voice resounded. His magical power penetrated deep into the soul of every person, making everyone feel freezing cold, their hearts tightening.
Hua Tiandu's formidable deterrent power suppressed all the grand experts into immobility, making them not dare to show even a shred of resistance. He was entirely different from Fang Han. Fang Han treated the sect with warmth and protected every disciple under his command, while Hua Tiandu treated every person in the sect as cannon fodder ready to be sacrificed at any time.
In his eyes, all these were ants that could be wiped out at any time.
What he needed right now was not warmth, but cold suppression, using cruel methods to make everyone present lose their self-esteem, thoroughly obey his words, and be brainwashed by him.
Under everyone's gaze, the Ancestor of Two Modes, an existence who had once been almost invincible in the Realm Upon Realm, a magnate second only to the Lord of the Universe, stood up cowering and shrinking. He walked in front of the Lord of Fresh Blood and swung a slap across his face, hitting so hard that the Lord of Fresh Blood's blood splattered out.
"Lord of Fresh Blood, do not blame me. This is the Sect Master's order, and I cannot disobey." Although slapping someone else's face, the Ancestor of Two Modes felt bitter in his heart.
Being slapped in the face in plain sight while remaining kneeling on the ground without moving, "The Lord of Fresh Blood" experienced a boundless sense of humiliation. However, looking at Hua Tiandu's icy gaze, he still endured it.
Princess Blood Spirit's tears of humiliation flowed down, but Hua Tiandu grabbed her, "Remembered? All of you are mine. Whatever I tell you to do, you must do. Your souls all belong to me."
"Yes! We dare not defy the Sect Master's decree." Right at this moment, Disaster, Eternity, Chaos, Slaughter, and the Thunder Emperor all knelt down, exceedingly well-behaved.
"Hmm!" Hua Tiandu nodded in satisfaction. Sweeping his gaze over them, he saw that the thousands upon ten thousands of Heavenly Monarchs in the Heavenly Capital City kept quiet out of fear, no longer daring to act against his orders. Simultaneously, sensing the crowd's terror, a surge of gratification rose in his heart.
The Heavenly Capital City bounded forward across the Immortal King Battlefield. Under Hua Tiandu's suppression, all the grand experts went all out, operating their power to the limit. Sweeping along the way, all Evil Spirits, magic treasures, and skeletal remains were taken into the city and fully sucked into the depths of the Universe Gourd, refined by Hua Tiandu into the purest vital energy.
Rumble!
All of a sudden, it was as if the Heavenly Capital City collided with a grand existence. The entire city shook violently, and a formless barrier blocked the path of the Heavenly Capital City.
This barrier presented the color of the Yellow Springs. Deep and darkly yellow, it constantly flowed in a way unpredictable to gods and demons. It was the boundless and endless power of the Yellow Springs, galloping and surging, from which profound demonic intent and the true essence of slaughter permeated. Assuredly beyond compare, completely erasing any thought of people approaching.
"Yellow Springs Great Barrier, Land of Reincarnation!" Grand Emperor Heaven issued a long howl: "Sect Master, this is the location of the skeletal remains of the Yellow Springs Great Emperor. We once approached this place, but no matter how we attacked, we could not enter. We could not break open the Yellow Springs Great Barrier. Back then, the Yellow Springs Great Emperor obtained all the cultivation of the Reincarnation Daoist. His corpse is incredibly tough, and his magical power is profound. Sect Master, be careful."
"Hmph! Do I still need you to remind me? I have seen through everything a long time ago!" Hua Tiandu snorted coldly, standing up within the Heavenly Capital City. "Creation Artifact, Universe Gourd!"
Rumble!
An earth-shattering massive explosion transmitted from the Yellow Springs Great Barrier. It turned out to be Hua Tiandu throwing a punch in an instant. The punch hit the barrier, knocking a hole in the entire barrier. Subsequently, the Universe Gourd between his eyebrows flew out, aiming at the great barrier and emitting suction power. Like the sea taking in a hundred rivers, all the suction power entered the gourd.
"Go! March into the depths."
Hua Tiandu stomped his foot, awing the eight directions and swallowing mountains and rivers, annihilating the Nine Provinces. Carrying the Heavenly Capital City, he intruded into the great barrier and vanished.
Right as the entire Universe City vanished deep into the Yellow Springs Great Barrier, a shadow appeared. It was exactly Fang Han. Watching the traces of Hua Tiandu vanishing, a smile manifested on his face: "Hua Tiandu, so majestically awe-inspiring, so domineering. You want to get the corpse of the Yellow Springs Great Emperor? Purely a foolish delusion."
While speaking, he also entered within, "Hmm? Sure enough, I have sensed the auras of Old Man Heart Demon, the Abyssal Red Exalted Demon, and Yan…"
Heading deep inside, with a few flashes, he locked onto the familiar auras.
Meanwhile, Hua Tiandu, carrying countless grand experts, quickly shuttled the Heavenly Capital Divine City into the Yellow Springs Great Barrier. Throughout the entire barrier, the aura of divine objects was everywhere.
Every divine object was a rare item even in the Realm Upon Realm. Whatever Heavenly Venerable Divine Stone, Supreme Polarity Divine Iron… everything one could wish for was there. These divine objects were rigidly forged and welded to the ground, forming a grand array representing reincarnation.
And directly at the very center of the entire Great Barrier sat a boundlessly tall body, unknown hundreds of millions of miles tall. The body was entirely crystal yellow. It was not skeletal remains, but a body with flesh and blood. Moreover, it was not the zombie-like body of Immortal Venerable Panwu, but possessed glossy, fine, and exquisitely elastic skin.
This was exactly the corpse of the Yellow Springs Great Emperor!
