Receiving the vast and incomparable divine power, Fang Han advanced to the cultivation of eighteen epochs, invincible wherever he went. He almost felt the ocean of destiny descending upon his body once again. With a slight breath, the order and laws within the Gate of Eternal Life swayed for him. It seemed that if his power took one more step, he could, just like Fang Qingxue back then, urge the Gate of Eternal Life.
"If I advance one step further, reaching the cultivation of nineteen epochs, urging the Gate of Eternal Life to suppress Immortal Kings is not impossible. It's a pity that below the level of an Immortal King, urging the Gate of Eternal Life is a path of absolute death; I still should not take the risk. With my current power, borrowing the backlash of the Gate of Eternal Life to subdue the soul of the Immortal King Lord of All Beasts is no difficult matter."
Thoughts raced like lightning in Fang Han's mind.
"Despicable, how despicable! I actually instantly lost more than fifty percent of the divine body I burned. Fang Han! I am absolutely irreconcilable with you. You actually triggered the backlash of the Gate of Eternal Life to disrupt my balance. Despite calculating a thousand and ten thousand times, I did not foresee this move." The fury in the Lord of All Beasts' heart at this time could already burn the firmament to ashes!
He roared fiercely, galloping and flashing, his powerful primordial spirit attempting once again to condense the ocean of divine power and restore his own physical body.
Beast roars sounded continuously.
In the sky, streams of eternal life qi also descended, urged by him and condensed into various kinds of immemorial giant beasts, charging and killing towards Fang Han.
"Minor tricks. Playing with eternal life qi against us is simply like a child playing house." Fang Han blew out a breath, and those immemorial giant beasts condensed from eternal life qi actually disintegrated in succession. The eternal life qi fundamentally did not obey the Lord of All Beasts' dispatches, solely listening to the commands of the force of destiny.
Those dispersed immemorial giant beasts changed forms again one after another, transforming into massive gods of eternal life, arranging into neat formations, then forming a grand array and detonating!
Rumble!
Countless gods of eternal life launched explosive attacks against the soul of the Lord of All Beasts once more, thoroughly scattering the ocean of divine power.
Fang Qingxue also rose up, inhaling in one breath.
Once again, half of the power from the burning of the Immortal King target body entered her body. From the cultivation of sixteen epochs, she broke through once more.
Breaking through to seventeen epochs!
The magical power of the two, indeed borrowing the Lord of All Beasts, advanced by leaps and bounds, striding towards the realm of Immortal Kings!
Now the Lord of All Beasts had thoroughly lost his ability to resist.
Originally encountering the backlash, he was heavily injured and unable to condense.
Now, under these shifting circumstances, the power of Fang Han and Fang Qingxue steadily climbed, making him truly unable to contend. He was disintegrated all the way, like splitting bamboo, even his soul being extremely imperiled.
If even his soul was captured by Fang Han and refined into the Epoch Divine Array, it was feared that he could directly reach the peak of nineteen epochs, with the possibility of advancing to become an Immortal King at any time or place.
The soul of an Immortal King was the true essence.
The convergence of a lifetime's will and cultivation; the physical body was no more than an accessory that could be condensed at any time. At worst, it would just cost a few epochs of cultivation.
For this very reason, the Origin Lord had abandoned his physical body and entered the Gate of Eternal Life, yet remained the number one powerhouse.
It was highly possible that the Origin Lord had condensed a new body within the Gate of Eternal Life, an even more formidable one. Because despite Fang Han repeatedly calculating his existence, he actually could not deduce in which layer of the crystal wall systems within the Gate of Eternal Life the other party resided. The Good Fortune Immortal King was equally immune to deduction.
"The ocean of divine power, the Immortal King body, let all of it belong to my Epoch Sect!"
Fang Han let out a loud roar, raising both hands high and clenching his iron fists. Immediately, the entire ocean of divine power integrated into the Epoch Divine Array, forcefully urging his cultivation forcefully to the peak of eighteen epochs.
At the same time, his crystal divine kingdoms could not accommodate all the power from the burning of the Immortal King body. After undergoing transformation, a small portion of the power flew out and integrated into the bodies of all the disciples of the Epoch Sect. Several core members advanced once again, experiencing a massive leap in power.
Such as the Star Emperor, the Five Great Demon Emperors, and even the former Heavenly Punishment Elder and Heavenly Craft Elder of the Yuhua Sect… these acquaintances all advanced to a cultivation above ten epochs, capable of contending with and standing parallel to Heavenly Lords like Chaos, Disaster, Slaughter, Thunder Emperor, and Eternal.
In this instant, the strength of the Epoch Sect was practically running neck-and-neck with the Tiandu Cult, and Fang Han and Fang Qingxue combined could directly slay Hua Tiandu now.
"Not good, something has happened. How could it end up like this!"
At the instant the ocean of divine power was extracted completely dry and the soul of the Lord of All Beasts was heavily injured, the Lord of Nian Beasts, the Barbarian Ancestor, and the Lord of All Monsters sensed something amiss. Subsequently, watching the scene before them, bloodshot hues appeared in everyone's eyes, filled with utter fury and profound sorrow.
"No!"
The Nian Beast let out a heart-tearing, lung-splitting shout.
"Father! What happened to you!"
"Go! Go quickly, go find Hua Tiandu! Take everyone away and follow me to find Hua Tiandu. Behind Hua Tiandu stands Good Fortune, Origin, Truth… their combined power can resist this animal Fang Han. My plan has failed; not only have I lost my divine body, but my soul is also heavily injured, unable to recover even in ten epochs. I no longer possess the strength of an Immortal King now! My misstep this time has also ensured that this animal Fang Han can no longer be defeated alone; we must rely on the power of many people to slay him together!"
The voice of the Lord of All Beasts was incredibly hurried. Streaks of wild beast auras, pure laws, suddenly washed out from his soul.
From within these wild beast laws flew out a massive character "Nian".
This was the life-source character of the "Nian Beast", incomparably formidable, endlessly self-generating. Once sacrificed, it practically held the effect of stabilizing the universe.
The character "Nian", carrying the soul of the Lord of All Beasts beneath it, emitted a rumbling explosion capable of tearing the Immortal King Battlefield apart, striking towards the side of Fang Han and Fang Qingxue.
"Good, an Ancient Character urged by an Immortal King is truly out of the ordinary." Fang Han concentrated entirely, grabbing with his large hand. Immediately, all the explosions ceased. The character "Nian" spun wildly; anyone who approached this character would face death. Heavenly Lords were no exception.
The exact same divine object had completely different effects in the hands of a Heavenly Lord versus the hands of an Immortal King.
Normally, a Heavenly Lord could only unleash half of an Ancient Character's might, whereas an Immortal King could unleash it completely.
Now, the Lord of All Beasts' life-source character "Nian", having soaked in his body for an unknown number of epochs, was spat out to kill enemies and obstruct Fang Han and Fang Qingxue, immediately achieving an instant effect.
"Go!"
In the instant the character "Nian" obstructed Fang Han and Fang Qingxue, the soul of the Lord of All Beasts flew up, enveloping everyone from the threefold alliance, and soared into the sky. Flying out of the Immortal King Battlefield, they actually flew towards Tiandu City in the Upper Realm Above.
Buzz!
The moment the Lord of All Beasts flew away, Fang Han immediately executed all his power. With a grab of his large hand, he completely dismantled that character "Nian" and integrated it into his body.
Then, he and Fang Qingxue nodded, stood up, and violently chased after them. They absolutely could not allow the soul of the Lord of All Beasts to converge with Hua Tiandu.
Right now, although the soul of the Lord of All Beasts had suffered the backlash of the Gate of Eternal Life, his strength declining severely, and having lost his physical body as well as his life-source character "Nian", no matter what, the soul of an Immortal King was ultimately an Immortal King. Its value was immense, far more formidable than any divine object. If it were refined by Hua Tiandu… the consequences would be simply unimaginable.
Therefore, Fang Han could absolutely not let Hua Tiandu succeed.
He and Fang Qingxue, one with the cultivation of eighteen epochs and the other with seventeen epochs, joining forces, with a single flicker could appear in any location within the myriad realms of the heavens. The two could even ultimately see through exactly how massive the Heaven Realm, the Upper Realm Above, and even the Immortal King Battlefield truly were.
Within the Zhou Heavens, any matter, with just a single glance, would be completely deciphered. The only thing they could not see through was the towering Gate of Eternal Life.
He had truly come into contact with the origin of the universe and heaven and earth.
"Be captured for me!"
A large hand grabbed out, covering the heavens and obscuring the earth, aiming to capture the souls of the Lord of All Beasts and the others.
Fang Han's palm continuously engulfed and spat out within the void, transforming into a canopy over the sky, densely covering the universe, making the Lord of All Beasts unable to escape and unable to evade.
In the Upper Realm Above, the massive Tiandu City towered, blooming with thousands upon millions of streaks of divine radiance. Hua Tiandu seemed to be cultivating a peerless magical art, his magical power having gained another massive increase.
As the Lord of All Beasts, carrying the souls of the experts of the three races, rolled and projected towards Tiandu City, Fang Han's large hand also grabbed down, enveloping Tiandu City and all the souls entirely at once.
"Hua Tiandu, I am the Lord of All Beasts! My descent failed, and I am being pursued and killed by Fang Han. Quickly notify Good Fortune and Origin behind you, otherwise, if he succeeds, we will all die. By joining forces now, we still have the strength to put up a fight…" The intent of the Lord of All Beasts was immediately transmitted. In an instant, it spread throughout Tiandu City, letting everyone know what was happening at this moment.
"Hahahaha! I knew long ago that with nowhere else to go, you, Lord of All Beasts, would come to me. I have already received the guidance of the Origin Lord and the strategy of the Good Fortune Immortal King. Did you think we didn't know about your descent plan?" Suddenly, Hua Tiandu's tall body ascended from Tiandu City, "However, we did not expect you to fail so quickly. Good, good, good! Since you have come here, I will shelter you. Let us join forces together to resist Fang Han!"
The restrictive arts of Tiandu City opened wide, just like that allowing the Lord of All Beasts to enter deep within.
Simultaneously, the entire city emitted a burst of resplendent divine light, resisting Fang Han's large hand, making it unable to grab down.
Seeing this, Fang Han retracted his hand and directly arrived outside Tiandu City, coldly looking at the thoroughly frightened Lord of All Beasts, Nian Beast, and Hua Tiandu and the others inside: "Good, very good. You have actually united together; this saves me the wasted effort of killing you one by one."
"Fang Han, are you still arrogant now? The Immortal King soul of the Lord of All Beasts has already united with me, massively increasing my strength." Hua Tiandu laughed: "For the Epoch Sect, the time for total annihilation has arrived."
