"To actually dare to seal my palm! You are truly too audacious! Huashayedi, Juluyedi, Jialengjialeng… Heavenly Demon descends to the world, Devil exterminates the human realm!"
As soon as Demon God Xing Wuchen's palm was sealed, he instantly flew into a rage, spitting out a series of true word characters from his mouth. They were twisted and squiggly, ancient demonic text, transforming at will, and a massive demonic aura immediately surged up. This demonic aura was cruel, cunning, fierce, and tyrannical, vibrating everywhere. When everyone felt this demonic aura, their hearts fiercely contracted.
And the "palm" sealed within the Yellow Spring Diagram also felt the connection and suddenly expanded and swelled, pitching black like a mountain, tearing apart the rolling yellow clouds, and sticking out from the diagram. As the five fingers clawed and grabbed, streaks of spatial tears were ripped open. If a person were caught by it, they would likely be immediately torn to pieces.
Even with Fang Han's current body being extremely powerful, his cultivated "Yama Golden Body" having been trained to the Heaven and Human Realm, with great formations contained within his internal organs and a lifespan reaching one thousand seven hundred years, taking one claw from the Demon God would still leave him torn to pieces with no corpse remaining.
"Humph! Having taken one strike of my Instant Kill Great Spell, you dare to be so rampant! You four great giants still do not retreat, it seems you are dead set on being buried here. Since that's the case, then you cannot blame me!" Yuhua Sect Headmaster Feng Baiyu saw that Fang Han and the others were having some difficulty suppressing the Demon God's palm, gave a cold snort, and the "Heavenly Emperor Mirror" above his head suddenly turned, shining viciously as a beam of brilliance shot onto the Demon God's palm.
Sizzle!
Being shone upon by this mirror light, the Demon God's palm instantly let out a miserable roar, its power sharply decreasing, shrinking until it was only about the size of an ordinary person's palm, and was suppressed by Fang Han once again.
And at the same time, the "Heavenly Emperor Mirror" above Feng Baiyu's head turned again, shooting out four beams of intense light, shining successively towards the "Heavenly Silkworm Empress," "Demon God," "Nine Yin Demon God," and "Nine Yang Demon God."
"Go!" The Demon God already knew the formidable power of the "Heavenly Emperor Mirror." With a demonic howl, the severed palm grew back again, completely intact, and he prepared to abandon that severed palm.
Although he could regrow the palm, this action consumed quite a lot of his vitality, requiring a hundred years of bitter cultivation to refine it back, but there was no other way. Yuhua Sect Headmaster Feng Baiyu was too fierce, too cunning, and hid himself extremely deep.
Although if the four great giants joined hands again, they might not fear Feng Baiyu, it was entirely unnecessary right now.
Their meticulously designed sealing plan had been played by Feng Baiyu, who instead beat them at their own game, using the Instant Kill Great Spell to sneak attack and injure them. If they continued this stalemate, who knew what kind of tricks Feng Baiyu would pull out?
Only at this moment did they realize that the Yuhua Sect possessed abundant strength, ranking near the top among the Ten Great Sects of the Immortal Dao, second or third.
Although the Ten Great Sects of the Immortal Dao were grouped together, there were differences in their strength. The Taiyi Sect was indisputably the first, but the second position was somewhat debatable. Some said it was the Linglong Blessed Land, some said it was the Qunxing Sect, and some said it was the Yuhua Sect… Now it seemed, the Yuhua Sect likely held the second position securely, especially after taking in Fang Han.
After the four great giants each took a beam of light from the "Heavenly Emperor Mirror," they all unleashed escape arts, turning into four streaks of flowing light and instantly disappearing from sight.
Feng Baiyu waved his hand and the Heavenly Emperor Mirror was absorbed back into his body, not giving chase. In fact, there was no way to chase; experts of the Longevity Secret Realm were extremely difficult to annihilate.
"Good! Finally out of danger and the Demon God's palm is suppressed." Seeing this scene, Fang Han also breathed a sigh of relief. Jialan retracted her golden pill, and Fang Qingxue also retracted the power of the Immortal Lightning Talisman. His body subsequently shrank down, and that talisman formed by various divine powers scattered once more, dropping from the sixth layer of divine powers "Unity Realm" down to the fifth layer "Heaven and Human Realm."
For him to cultivate from the fifth layer to the sixth layer, for ten thousand dharmas to return to one, he still needed to master the "Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Power" first. This was his foundation, the other divine powers were merely icing on the cake, an accompaniment to increase his power.
"What is the Heavenly Emperor Mirror? To be so formidable? I have never heard of this treasure." As soon as Fang Han stabilized, he hurriedly asked.
"I don't know either." Jialan shook her head. As one of the five great outstanding disciples of the Yuhua Sect, she also did not know the origin of the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, and Fang Qingxue also expressed that she did not know.
As for Long Xuan and the other true legacy female disciples, it went without saying.
"The Heavenly Emperor Mirror is one of the supreme treasures of the Three Emperors from ancient times. In the ancient era, the World Tree still existed, and the Xuanhuang Great World had three emperors, one was the Heavenly Emperor, the second was the Earthly Emperor, and the third was the Human Emperor. They were all formidable primordial mighty figures. They each held a magic treasure, respectively the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, the Earthly Emperor Book, and the Human Emperor Pen. Their power was immense, all being Immortal Artifacts!" Yan spoke up at this time.
"What, the Heavenly Emperor Mirror is an Immortal Artifact? So to speak, my Yuhua Sect possesses an Immortal Artifact! Since the Headmaster possesses an Immortal Artifact, why not kill the four great giants in one fell swoop? Letting my Yuhua Sect leap to become the number one sect of the Immortal Dao!" Fang Han was greatly shocked. Although he had never seen an Immortal Artifact, he deeply knew the formidable power of an Immortal Artifact in his heart.
For the Ten Great Sects of the Immortal Dao, an Immortal Artifact was a treasure to guard the sect! Suppressing providence, enduring and unfailing. Currently, among the Ten Great Sects of the Immortal Dao, only the Taiyi Sect had an Immortal Artifact.
"Unfortunately, this Heavenly Emperor Mirror is currently not an Immortal Artifact, just a top-tier Dao Artifact." Yan shook his head.
"Why?" Fang Han was stunned.
"Back then when the Protoss invaded the Xuanhuang Great World, the mighty figures of the Protoss cut down the World Tree. The Three Emperors led Qi refiners to rise up in resistance, heavily wounding the Protoss, but they were still killed. Their three magic treasures were also shattered, losing most of their profound marvels, turning from Immortal Artifacts into Dao Artifacts. Three thousand years ago, during an expedition, I obtained this damaged Heavenly Emperor Mirror, which is why my divine powers skyrocketed."
Just at this moment, Feng Baiyu's voice traveled over, "This Heavenly Emperor Mirror, if it had its former power, my Yuhua Sect could have stood up to the Taiyi Sect as equals long ago. Yan, don't you think so? Back when the Yellow Spring Great Emperor was alive, it was also because of his apprehension towards the Taiyi Sect's Immortal Artifact that he considered it over and over and did not launch the Immortal Demon War."
It turned out that Yuhua Sect Headmaster Feng Baiyu had actually listened in on the conversation between Fang Han and Yan.
Hearing this, Yan's scales all over his body shook, and he fiercely flew out from the Yellow Spring Diagram, revealing his flood dragon form, hovering in the air. Pointing a claw at Feng Baiyu, he said: "Old Feng, haven't seen you in so many years, your prestige is undiminished from back then, and you've become much more formidable. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, but you look even younger. If you went to the mortal world, who knows how many little girls you could seduce into being infatuated with you."
"Meeting an old acquaintance truly refreshes the mind and spirit." Feng Baiyu smiled slightly. "You dragon, your tongue is still so flippant and lazy, but your power is pitifully weak."
"If I were not injured, Old White, you wouldn't necessarily be able to throw your weight around in front of me. But thirty years on the east bank, thirty years on the west bank. There's nothing much to say, how do you plan to deal with me?" After joking around for a bit, Yan's speech became stern.
"Hahahaha, hahaha…" Feng Baiyu burst into a long laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Yan used a claw to scratch his body, relieving an itch.
"I am laughing that you underestimate me, Feng Baiyu, too much. With the Heavenly Emperor Mirror in hand, I don't care about any Dao Artifacts. If you follow Fang Han and want to cultivate him into the second Yellow Spring Great Emperor, I won't interfere either. Even if he becomes a Demon Emperor in the future, he still came from my Yuhua Sect after all. He surely distinguishes gratitude and grudges clearly, and will definitely defend my Yuhua Sect in every way. What do I have to fear?" Feng Baiyu said, "You are still you, I am still me. Of course, if you want to restore your power, I could actually help you."
"I will restore my power myself, no need to owe you a favor. But Old Feng, your character is true to your word, I do trust you." Yan waved his claw. "As for what Fang Han will become in the future, he has his own judgments in his heart, and I have no right to interfere with him. Right now I am just relying on him to restore my power. With his strength, he will definitely restore my power in a very short time."
Feng Baiyu looked at Yan for a while: "Do you really not want my help? Yet I know, you want to be promoted to an Immortal Artifact! Back then when the Yellow Spring Great Emperor forged you, he wanted to forge an Immortal Artifact. As long as you find the Earthly Emperor Book among the Three Emperors' magic treasures and merge with it, you will transform into an Immortal Artifact. This was also a plan meticulously designed by the Yellow Spring Great Emperor. Otherwise, he wouldn't have refined the entire Water of Emotion Forgetting from the Yellow Spring Holy River into it."
"What! You know the whereabouts of the Earthly Emperor Book!" Yan was startled, his pair of dragon eyes staring fixedly at Feng Baiyu. "There is also this possibility, you obtained the Heavenly Emperor Mirror. The Three Emperors' magic treasures all have a connection with each other. But back then the Yellow Spring Great Emperor searched for countless ages and couldn't find the whereabouts of the Earthly Emperor Book, you might not necessarily know either. It's true, as long as I restore my power and then obtain the Earthly Emperor Book, the two can merge into one and transform into an Immortal Artifact. The Earthly Emperor Book itself is an Immortal Artifact, but was knocked down to become a Dao Artifact; only I can make it perfect once again. To become an Immortal Artifact once more."
Feng Baiyu waved his hand: "As for where the Earthly Emperor Book is, I only have a slight sensing. But as long as my cultivation advances further, it may not be impossible to deduce exactly where the Earthly Emperor Book is. Since you do not want me to restore your power, then let it be. Fang Han, what do you think?"
His last sentence was directed at Fang Han.
Fang Han cleared his mind before stepping forward to answer: "Reporting to the Supreme Headmaster, this time the Headmaster rescued me from peril. Fang Han understands in his heart, no matter what, I will defend the interests of the Yuhua Sect."
"Of course, the Yuhua Sect does not fail you, you cannot fail the Yuhua Sect. If the Yuhua Sect failed you, what harm would there be in you failing the Yuhua Sect?" Feng Baiyu said, "After you return, you can hand over the secret manuals and techniques of the twenty-eight divine powers to the Technique Transmitting Elder, for such a contribution. The sect will give you certain rewards. As for the Five Emperors Great Demon Divine Power you cultivate, if you are willing to contribute it to the sect, that is fine; if you are not willing to contribute it, then let it be."
"Supreme Headmaster, I still have an important matter to report." Fang Han glanced around, hesitating to speak.
"What important matter?" Feng Baiyu said, "My magic power has sealed the surroundings here, and the Heavenly Emperor Mirror inspects all things. No one can hear it, you may speak freely."
"Yes!" Fang Han hurriedly recounted his encounter with the Protoss once, and at the same time took out that Protoss corpse that had not yet been absorbed by the World Tree. "The Protoss reappears. This disciple knew the matter was urgent and originally wanted to report it to the sect immediately, but unfortunately became trapped in the immortal mansion."
Feng Baiyu's expression instantly changed. Looking at this Protoss corpse, he waved his hand, and a wave of magic power shrouded down. "This matter is no minor thing! Let's go! We first return to the sect! Calamity! Calamity…"
With his status, even if the sky were falling, his face would not change color, but seeing the Protoss corpse, he immediately lost his composure. One could see how momentous the matter was.
Originally Fang Han thought it was nothing, but now a shadow abruptly cast over his heart.
Wrapped in Feng Baiyu's magic power, shifting with all their might, they returned to the Yuhua Sect within half an hour.
