Yet Fang Han had never expected that there truly was a secret in the basalt rock layer of the tectonic plates at a depth of five thousand zhang beneath the Demon Sealing Ridge! Moreover, it was such a shocking scene!
A diamond the size of a mountain.
In the center of the diamond, there was actually a lake and a palace! What kind of bizarre scenery was this? A diamond the size of a thumb was invaluable in the secular world. How much was one the size of a mountain worth? Furthermore, as Fang Han explored with his spirit, this diamond hidden deep underground was much larger than his Reincarnation peak. Its aura was majestic and absolutely unparalleled.
"What a grand masterpiece, a grand masterpiece! Although diamond is of no use to us cultivators, serving only to decorate the facade. But such a large piece, I have never seen before. Such a large block of diamond, if I could move it back, I could discard Reincarnation Peak and treat this block of diamond as a mountain peak!"
Fang Han pondered in his heart the possibility of moving this diamond to the sect.
This was of course impossible. Lifting a mountain-sized diamond from the basalt rock layer at a depth of five thousand zhang underground was already no longer within the capabilities of a Mystic Realm expert; even one in the Longevity Realm might not necessarily accomplish it. Feng Baiyu possibly could, but there would be a certain degree of difficulty.
"It truly is here! To think it was hidden so deeply! The treasure vault sealed in the depths of the Demon Sealing Ridge is actually inside the basalt rock plate at a depth of five thousand zhang underground; I finally found it!" The Pure Fox little demoness said excitedly: "If I hadn't run into Fang Han, even if I sought out several old monsters of the ninth or tenth layer of the Mystic Realm, they might not necessarily have been able to find this place."
"How about it, Fang Han, I didn't lie to you, right! This is the secret beneath the Demon Sealing Ridge. Inside this mountain-sized diamond, boundless Heavenly Demons are sealed, along with Nirvana Pills and those treasures."
"Is that so? This is indeed a miraculous place. The underground treasures seem too numerous to count. But whether demon lords are sealed inside is still hard to say; wait until I probe a bit."
While speaking, the life source talisman above Fang Han's head revolved once, shooting out brilliance again, wanting to melt the diamond.
Although the diamond was hailed as the hardest thing in the secular world, for cultivators, it was not the hardest. Between heaven and earth, among the many rare and wondrous treasures, there were many that were harder than diamond.
Buzz buzz buzz buzz, buzz buzz buzz buzz…
Fang Han's life source talisman shone directly upon the "diamond", attempting to open a tiny gap, and then penetrate into it, reaching the sealed palace and lake in the center to search for treasures.
However, to his disappointment, the light of the talisman shining on the "diamond" was unexpectedly met with indifference.
The crystal-like diamond did not move a muscle, completely devoid of any sign of cracking or melting.
"That shouldn't be the case!"
Fang Han was stunned. His life source talisman had gathered fifty-five types of magical powers. Although the Great Cutting Art's power was weak, it was still enough to shatter and dissolve magic treasures akin to supreme-tier Treasure artifacts, and even capable of harming lower-tier Dao artifacts. Against diamond, shattering and dissolving it shouldn't be a difficult task.
But it was actually unable to destroy it!
From this it could be seen that this was definitely not a diamond! But another kind of spar.
"Fang Han, this is not a diamond, but… hahahaha, it is actually a Heaven Crystal. This is one of the hardest spars in the starry sky. It requires various stellar pressures and experiences millions, tens of millions of years for this good item to occasionally form. Just a small piece, one small piece, used to refine flying swords or flying knives, makes them completely basic supreme-tier Treasure artifacts. The hull of the Great Brahma Light Ship had Heaven Crystal spar mixed in. To unexpectedly have such a large block of Heaven Crystal, and even sealing a palace and lake within it. Such a method belongs to a remote ancient mighty-figure-level existence. Perhaps not beneath the mysterious person of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, or the ancient Demon Venerable of the Land of the Five Elements. Furthermore, did you discover it? This mountain-peak-sized block of spar is actually a model of a magic treasure. Great method, brilliant method!"
Right at this moment, Yan suddenly spoke solemnly.
Fang Han was startled. He hastily activated the "Five Emperors Great Demon Magical Power" and explored outward from the basalt rock plate layer. Sure enough, he saw clearly though faintly; this massive block of spar resembling a mountain peak had the shape of a brush!
That's right, it was a "giant brush", lying across the basalt rock plate layer. As if having undergone many tens of thousands of years of crustal changes, it was naturally buried deep beneath the earth, yet without the slightest bit of decay. However, there wasn't the slightest bit of spiritual qi either, as if waiting for the day it would be unearthed.
"Heavens!"
Fang Han used his magical power to inspect, and was stunned in an instant. Was there such a "giant brush" in the world?
A "Heaven Crystal Spar" giant brush taller than a mountain peak! What kind of existence was this?
The value of a thumb-sized little piece of "Heaven Crystal Spar", if taken to the auction assembly of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, was at least ten million medicinal pills. One the size of a mountain, how many medicinal pills could it be sold for?
"I don't believe Heaven Crystal is so sturdy. My talisman cannot be something it can't shatter; even a magic treasure like the Great Brahma Light Ship, I can shatter it!"
Fang Han abruptly gave a light shout. The brilliance of the life source talisman above his head flared up intensely, plunging fiercely onto the Heaven Crystal Spar.
Crack! How powerful was Fang Han's life source talisman? Capable of harming even Dao artifacts, yet under this strike, the "Heaven Crystal Spar" actually didn't have the slightest fine crack securely appearing!
Only this giant "brush-shaped crystal" trembled slightly, as the earth's crust was mobilized along with it. At a depth of five thousand zhang, a minor earthquake immediately occurred.
This "giant brush crystal" seemed to possess sentience, hurt by Fang Han's strike, it unexpectedly let out a low groan of anger. Like an exploding bear disturbed from its slumber, it let out a deep, heavy roar.
Immediately following that, Fang Han felt the void before him infinitely collapsing. In the blink of an eye, the mountain-peak-sized giant brush in front of him suddenly shrank infinitely, shrinking a full hundred thousand times!
Finally, it transformed into a "crystal brush" the size of an ordinary writing brush. The fine hairs revealed themselves, writing characters, hooking like iron and drawing like silver. It painted an arc containing the profound mysteries of heaven and earth, sweeping towards Fang Han.
That's right!
The most sturdy "Heaven Crystal Spar" in the universe of heaven and earth unexpectedly shrank! In an instant, from the size of a mountain peak, it concentrated down to the thickness of a finger! How powerful must this magical power be?
Fang Han had read the "Myriad Worlds" and knew that in the starry sky, there were some incomparably giant stars that would infinitely concentrate at the time of their death, and then transform into a "chaotic hole", absorbing any existence; even an expert at the Longevity Realm could not be spared. Once sucked inside, one would immediately die.
Now, as this "crystal brush" infinitely concentrated, it unexpectedly faintly carried the flavor of forming a terrifying "chaotic hole".
"What kind of treasure is this! To actually have such great magical power! I thought it was some treasure vault; it turns out the mountain-sized giant brush is truly a magic treasure!" At this moment, Fang Han felt as if his body was about to disintegrate. Before him was a pitch-black chaotic hole; any magical power, flesh, blood, or divine abilities were infinitely shrinking, seemingly about to turn into a minuscule particle.
Since his debut, he had never encountered anything so terrifying.
The Ghost Emperor, Ruyi Zi, Demon God, Silkworm Empress, and even the two great Demon Gods Jiuyin and Jiuyang, were beneath mention. Perhaps only the mysterious person of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion and the ancient Demon Venerable of the Land of the Five Elements would possess such a formidable aura.
"Not good! Run quickly! I know what treasure this is! Nine chances out of ten it's that treasure! We are far from its match! This treasure, with a casual stroke, can decide a person's life or death!"
"Yan" trembled all over, screaming wa wa in terror. He manifested his physical form, and the Gate of Avici surged up behind his body. Slapping out fiercely with one claw, the Avici demon qi exploded everywhere, and the pressure around Fang Han instantly lightened.
Currently, the "Yellow Spring Diagram" and Yan were equivalent to a middle-tier Dao artifact; its power was the greatest among all of Fang Han's treasures.
"Life source talisman! Protect my form!"
Fang Han recovered his wits at this moment. The "life source talisman" containing fifty-five great magical powers was drawn back, hovering above his head, wrapping himself up, charging outward fiercely, wanting to flee from this terrifying "crystal brush magic treasure".
But it was too late!
Puchi, puchi, with irresistible force! With a casual, understated slash of this tiny "crystal brush", Fang Han felt as if his life source talisman were truly a piece of thin paper, about to be slashed across by a sharp paper cutting knife. It was fundamentally impossible to resist it.
"What exactly is this treasure! Such immense power!"
Fang Han was also heavily shocked; the power of this treasure was simply too terrifying! It was simply something he had never seen before, never heard of before… It could even, even rival Feng Baiyu's "Emperor Mirror".
Let alone his own "life source talisman", he suspected that even Fang Qingxue's upper-tier Dao artifact, the Remote Ancient Lightning Emperor Talisman Edict, would be slashed open by this brush in one go.
Being under the earth himself, he couldn't flee at all! He could only obediently go to his death.
The magical powers wrapping around the "life source talisman" were continuously broken open. "Vajra Iron Bone Great Hand Seal," "Ice Snow Boundary," and even "Myriad Stars Limitless Book" were all unable to resist the sharp edge of this "crystal brush."
In the blink of an eye, the sharp edge of this "crystal brush" slashed into the deepest core of Fang Han's "life source talisman"! Above the Five Emperors Canopy condensed from the Five Emperors Great Demon Magical Power.
If this "Five Emperors Canopy" was also slashed open, then all of Fang Han's cultivation would be destroyed in one day, and the life source talisman completely dissipated. Outside, he could still preserve his life; here under the earth, there was only a path to death.
"This is the critical moment of life and death! How could I encounter such a terrifying thing!"
"Pu!" Pu! Pu!
Fang Han knew that life and death lay in a split second, brooking no delay. Opening his mouth, a continuous burst of vital energy spewed out, landing on his "life source talisman." In the deep core, the "Five Emperors Canopy" rose slowly, and upon the five-colored clouds, Five Elements Divine Lightning shot out explosively! Desperately resisting the sharp edge of the "crystal brush".
Ever since the Five Emperors Great Demon Magical Power was cultivated to grand perfection and derived the Five Elements Divine Lightning, its power was boundless; even Meng Shaobai's Kunpeng Primal Spirit was unable to break it open.
But now, this terrifying "crystal brush", with just a casual, understated, profound arc drawn at will, caused the "Five Emperors Canopy" to suffer fatal damage, teetering on the edge of collapse. Fang Han even suspected that this brush, slashing casually at will, could easily kill an expert of the Ghost Emperor's level!
What kind of magical power was this?
