The many Immortal Kings had finally descended.
The final moment had also ultimately arrived.
Everything had come to light entirely. Why did all the Immortal Kings oppose Fang Han? Because Fang Han was the artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life; by obtaining him and controlling him, they could acquire the Dao of Eternal Life, enter the Gate of Eternal Life to explore everything, and even enter a new heaven and earth, a completely unprecedented world.
Why did all the Immortal Kings want to help Hua Tiandu?
Because Hua Tiandu was the malignant tumor inside the Gate of Eternal Life, capable of polluting the artifact spirit and corroding the Dao of Eternal Life.
The first Immortal King to descend and appear was actually the Truth Immortal King. He was an old man with a full beard and snow-white hair who mastered the truth of this world. He struck to rescue Hua Tiandu, infusing Immortal King-level magic power through space into Hua Tiandu's body, causing his previously dying fire of life to burn anew.
This was no ordinary remote infusion of magic power.
In the past, when the Truth Immortal King was sealed inside the Gate of Eternal Life, the magic power infused was merely drops and drips. Now that his true body had descended, he was practically invincible, the infusion speed being more than hundreds of millions of times faster than before. Hua Tiandu immediately became as vigorous as a dragon and fierce as a tiger, his malignant tumor body expanding again.
What a pity, the Creation divine artifacts, various ultimate treasures, and ancient characters within his body had all been snatched away by Fang Han. What remained was merely the pure malignant tumor and Hua Tiandu's will.
His current will was already twisted; toward Fang Han, his heart was full of hatred.
"Fang Han, the Immortal Kings have descended, you are my enemy, and I won't let you off! No matter how powerful your magic power is, can you resist all the Immortal Kings?"
Hua Tiandu raised both hands. Toxic qi permeated the air as he broke through Fang Han's restraints, moving far away directly, arriving beside the Truth Immortal King.
Fang Han paused his hand. He did not emit magic power outward, but shot a beam of light onto the Realm of Yuan. The entire Realm of Yuan slowly flew up, transforming into a streak of essential light that retracted into his body.
The descent of Immortal Kings was no small matter. If the many Immortal Kings joined forces, they would probably batter heaven and earth into destruction and recreation countless times. Fang Han had to first protect the Realm of Yuan and the many disciples of the Era Gate to prevent them from being caught in the crossfire.
Receiving Fang Han's resonance, Fang Qingxue, who was holding the fort in the Realm of Yuan, also had her magic power advance by leaps and bounds, breaking through successively to reach the peak of nineteen epochs, on the verge of breaking through to the realm of an Immortal King.
The instant Fang Han took it into his body, the power of destiny coalesced into a vast God of Eternal Life that rushed into Fang Qingxue's body. Subsequently, fragments of the Great Dao and countless ancient characters washed over her body time and again.
With a thunderous tremor, Fang Qingxue finally underwent metamorphosis, beginning her advancement to the realm of an Immortal King!
"Fang Han! You are the artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life; I have remembered it!" Upon advancing to an Immortal King, Fang Qingxue let out a sudden, long roar.
"I knew long ago. You hold the fort in the Realm of Yuan now and stabilize everything. Let me handle all the Immortal Kings outside." Fang Han spoke slowly and methodically.
"What? The Sect Master is actually the reincarnation of the artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life…"
"So the Sect Master possesses such a cultivation base. Indeed, indeed… Doesn't that make him the number one person among the heavens, a supreme existence pointing directly to the Great Dao of Eternal Life, surpassing all Immortal Kings and all experts throughout history? No existence can match him?"
"Indeed, indeed. He is an existence even greater than the Creation Immortal King. I finally stood on the right side." Chaos Heavenly Lord muttered to himself: "Not to mention achieving eternal life, at least there is hope for the Great Dao of the Immortal King. Those five Great Heavenly Lords—Disaster, Chaos, Slaughter, Thunder Emperor, and Eternal—because they stood on the wrong side, followed the Creation Immortal King, followed Hua Tiandu, and are now dead, meeting a devastating disaster."
Chaos Heavenly Lord had personally witnessed the deaths of Disaster Heavenly Lord and the others, and he felt pity in his heart; they were inevitably friends of many years. To be reduced to flying ash and annihilated because they stood on the wrong side was truly tragic. At the same time, he rejoiced inwardly that he had chosen correctly. Such a great existence as Fang Han being the artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life was something no one could compare to.
"Ashamed, ashamed… To think Fang Han is such a great existence. Thinking back to when we were in the Yuhua Sect in the mortal world, we even exacted sanctions on him." Some older generation elders of the Yuhua Sect, who had now cultivated to become Heavenly Lords, recalled past events, feeling dazed as if they were smoke and clouds.
"Among our Yuhua Sect, such a great existence as the artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life actually entered the sect, and even Hua Tiandu, this malignant tumor, entered the sect. What kind of fortune is this?"
At this moment, all the disciples of the Era Gate sighed with countless emotions.
They were of one mind and one heart; hearts linked together, transcending time and space, transcending themselves, transcending the mortal world and heaven and earth… coalescing onto Fang Han's body.
Fang Han also felt this power of millions of united hearts, and a smile appeared on his face.
His gaze looked toward the Truth Immortal King.
"Truth Immortal King, your sect members, Death Heavenly Lord… these people were all killed by Hua Tiandu, yet you still actually rescue him?"
"Hmph! On the path of eternal life, there is only one choice, and that is to obtain you, the artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life, for us to refine. Only by thoroughly mastering the Gate of Eternal Life and exploring the supreme mysteries of this head of the heavenly divine artifacts can we possibly break through the realm of an Immortal King to advance further. There is no other choice. Although Hua Tiandu is vicious and malicious, he is the sole existence that can restrain you."
Suddenly, another voice rang out. A young Immortal King descended beside the Truth Immortal King: "The Great Desolation Heavenly Lord under my command was also killed by Hua Tiandu, but I still support him to oppose you. Relative to the Dao of Eternal Life, these sect members are existences that can be sacrificed."
This young Immortal King wore battle armor, and an aura of origin diffused in the destroyed void.
The Origin Immortal King.
Fang Han had long since seen the appearances of the Truth, Origin, and Creation, the three great Immortal Kings. Origin was a young man, Truth was an old man, while the Creation Immortal King represented the peak years of a person, middle age.
Now, Truth and Origin appeared before him to protect Hua Tiandu, but Fang Han did not act rashly. The cultivation bases of these two great Immortal Kings were fully twenty-five or twenty-six epochs. Although inferior to him, they would not be so easy to slay.
"Hua Tiandu, although you are ruthless and merciless, killing our sect members, you still have utilitarian value to us right now, understand? We won't kill you, but you must obediently cooperate with us, otherwise you won't escape death." Upon descending, the Origin Immortal King said a piece and then patted Hua Tiandu's head.
Hua Tiandu's complexion fluctuated between cloudy and clear. Though he had cultivated to become an Immortal King, he was firmly suppressed by Fang Han, and many divine objects in his body were snatched away by Fang Han. His strength was greatly reduced, and he was by no means the match of Origin and Truth.
Otherwise, according to his disposition, he would swallow the two great Immortal Kings right now to fight Fang Han again, determined to pollute the Gate of Eternal Life.
"Two Seniors, it was my recklessness." Hua Tiandu trimmed his sails to the wind, nodding and bowing repeatedly. "I know now that everything is under the seniors' control. I can never leap out of the palms of the seniors. From now on, I will listen to everything the seniors say; whatever you tell me to do, I will do."
"That's more like it." Origin Immortal King and Truth Immortal King looked at each other. Watching the void, another formidable aura descended. It was actually another Immortal King. This Immortal King was also an old man, but tall and fierce, holding a mirror in his hand, his entire body rippling with a mythical aura.
This was Old Man Myth!
Master to the Heavenly Mother, he had once plotted against Fang Han but failed. Now his true body descended, and his magic power actually surpassed Origin and Truth.
"Fang Han, you have done well, killing my disciple the Heavenly Mother." As Old Man Myth descended, his Immortal King aura spread out: "If you kneel down right now and beg us, admitting your mistake, we can still merely seal you, without using special methods to torture you, letting you die cleanly and comfortably. If you resist, then I'm afraid we will let Hua Tiandu corrode your life bit by bit, planting the malignant tumor, making you experience unprecedented pain, begging for life but unable to attain it, begging for death but unable to achieve it."
"Old Man Myth, I very much welcome the descent of the many Immortal Kings. All of you are living beings beneath the heavens who have grown to this stage. To me, I treat everyone equally without discrimination; you are all my subjects nurtured by me. I birthed you and bestowed magic power upon you. You are not omnipotent, whereas I am omnipotent." Fang Han opened his mouth unhurriedly: "If you cross over into the next epoch with me, I welcome it very much. If you want to destroy the arrival of the new era, I will be the first to execute you. Of course, Old Man Myth, you are an existence nurtured by me, equivalent to being like my son, you have no qualifications to speak to me. Wait until all you Immortal Kings have arrived. Primordial Beginning, Creation… where are these Immortal Kings? Only when all have arrived, speak clearly with me."
"You!" Hearing this, Old Man Myth's eyebrows bristled, yet there was nothing he could do.
Now that Fang Han had awakened his memories as the artifact spirit of the Gate of Eternal Life, everyone was extremely wary. He could activate the power of the Gate of Eternal Life to suppress. With his identity, all myriad things of the heavens were created by him; he was the father of all things, the father of all kings, the true father god.
However, which of these Immortal Kings was not an existence who uniquely dominated the heavens, wishing to slay everything and seek eternal life? Toward Fang Han, they only possessed the intent of a guaranteed kill to refine him. In their eyes, Fang Han was just a stalk of spirit medicine, a magical treasure.
Everything relied on strength.
Swish!
Several more Immortal Kings descended. Among them, one Immortal King had a face full of whiskers, his curly beard like thatch, each strand like an arrow, mastering the mysteries of alternate dimensions on his body.
Dimensional Immortal King!
The Dimensional Divine Weapon that Fang Han obtained from the hands of the Multitreasure Heavenly Lord was forged by him.
The other few Immortal Kings included one of the Confucian Dao, and unknown ancient Immortal Kings.
"Let me make introductions, Fang Han!" The curly-bearded-as-arrows Dimensional Immortal King walked up, ferocious and unmatched, laughing aloud. He pointed at an Immortal King wearing a Confucian gown and said, "This one is the Haoqi Immortal King, the Lord of Confucianism, one of the figures who founded the Confucian Dao, and also one of the Immortal Kings seeking the Dao of Eternal Life. He joins hands with us to deal with you. The other few are the True Spirit Immortal King, the History-less Immortal King, the Immemorial Immortal King…"
Eight Great Immortal Kings, a whole eight Great Immortal Kings united together consecutively. Showing up in front of Fang Han.
Truth, Origin, Myth, Dimensional, Haoqi, True Spirit, History-less, Immemorial.
The latter four Great Immortal Kings were ones Fang Han had never even heard of. Evidently, they were existences who entered the Gate of Eternal Life very early and survived. However, Fang Han had felt their auras on Hua Tiandu's Immortal King halos.
