Fang Han did not answer Hua Tiandu's words, expressing himself directly through action. His body swayed and disappeared, appearing around Hua Tiandu's body in the next moment. His fingers were like swords, demonic flames burning, lightning flashing, and the five-colored divine light circulating endlessly. The powerful penetrating force cut down directly.
Hua Tiandu didn't even move. Ten million purple amulets radiated from his body, still transforming into divine lightning that surged out, blanketing the sky and covering the earth. He didn't compete with Fang Han purely on speed, directly washing the ground with divine lightning. It somewhat resembled the flavor of Fang Han's battle with Meng Shaobai.
At that time, during Fang Han and Meng Shaobai's battle, Meng Shaobai flapped his wings and flew everywhere, while Fang Han drove the Five Elements Divine Lightning, cleansing the area. Now, the roles were somewhat reversed.
Inside the crypt, lightning amulets were everywhere.
This was Hua Tiandu's "Profound Heaven Demon-Refining Lightning Amulet Grand Formation." He intended to trap Fang Han first. Once he dealt with the "King of Dark Hell" on the surface, he would unleash all his methods to slay Fang Han.
The Heaven and Earth Aspect he had chased into the underground with this time was not his full strength. He had left a portion of his essence in the Dragon Palace on the surface to completely kill another expert, the "King of Dark Hell." Only someone of his strength could wage war on two fronts and hold the upper hand in both.
"This divine lightning grand formation is truly formidable. If I force my way out through sheer killing, I can break out, but that requires exposing my true strength, and I would be recognized by Hua Tiandu at once. However… I'll do this."
An idea flashed across his mind, and he immediately had a plan.
Shuttling ceaselessly through the divine lightning, Fang Han's consciousness instantly entered the Yellow Spring Diagram. He suddenly activated the seven recently obtained dragon eggs, bringing them close to the Kunpeng giant egg.
Extremely dangerous thoughts seemed to emanate from within the seven dragon eggs, as if the little dragons gestating inside had some intent. They knew they were about to be devoured by the Great Devouring Demonic Formation on the Kunpeng giant egg and couldn't help but struggle.
But how could Fang Han let them struggle? The rich life essence gestating within the dragon eggs was the perfect opportunity to feed the Kunpeng giant egg.
This Kunpeng giant egg, having devoured the essence of his transforming Golden Core, seemed to be on the verge of hatching. But it still needed massive vital energy. Although Fang Han instilled Immortal Realm vital energy into it every day, it would still take a long time to truly evolve it, ranging from half a year to a full year.
However, since he obtained the seven dragon eggs, Fang Han naturally wouldn't let them go to waste. He would feed the massive life essence within to the Kunpeng giant egg first.
Sure enough, as soon as the dragon eggs approached the Kunpeng giant egg, sensing the incredibly intense life essence, the Great Devouring Demonic Formation on the Kunpeng giant egg operated intensely. It emitted surges of demonic energy and directly absorbed all seven dragon eggs.
Subsequently, the demonic runes on the shell of the Kunpeng giant egg became a full ten times clearer. The Great Devouring Demonic Formation operated once again, converting all of the Kunpeng's life characteristics and true essence into the astral energy of a demonic art.
Fang Han had comprehended the demonic runes on it for a long time. He somewhat understood some of the wondrous uses of the Great Devouring Technique, a supreme divine ability of the Demonic Dao. Furthermore, the Kunpeng giant egg had absorbed the vital energy from when his Golden Core was transforming. Although it caused him to be unable to condense a Golden Core, it also made him connected by flesh and blood to the Kunpeng giant egg.
Now, he was extremely familiar with all the changes inside.
Crack, crack. The Kunpeng giant egg unceasingly disintegrated and fractured. A phantom of a Kunpeng faintly appeared inside—resembling a fish yet not a fish, a bird yet not a bird, soaring thousands of miles. But at this moment, it was locked down by the demonic formation, gradually transforming into countless amulets. These profound and mystical amulets everywhere manifested an eternal mystery of the universe, constantly devouring, never satisfied.
After absorbing the life essence of the seven dragon eggs, the Kunpeng giant egg finally evolved the Great Devouring Demonic Formation, one of the supreme divine abilities of the Demonic Dao, existing on par with the Great Fragmentation Technique and the Great Cutting Technique, and even more mysterious and rarer than those two divine abilities.
At the bottom of the Yellow Spring River in the Yellow Spring Diagram, a demonic formation slowly rose.
What kind of demonic formation was this? It wasn't very large, about an acre in size, but inside it was pitch-black and deep, not knowing where it led to, truly displaying the artistic conception of the words "bottomless pit!"
A bottomless pit that could accommodate the entire world. A bottomless cavity that could never be filled.
The amulets inside rotated like stars, constantly deducing the profound mysteries of heaven and earth. In the depths of the bottomless pit, there seemed to hide a giant beast specializing in devouring stars, breathing, absorbing, and operating.
The Great Devouring Demonic Formation finally condensed completely.
This signified the birth of a new supreme divine ability of the demonic sect.
As soon as this supreme divine ability of the Demonic Dao was born, Fang Han felt a connection of flesh and blood with himself. There was no need to refine it at all. It shrank into a ball, turning into a formation diagram the size of a palm, merging into his body. It rose to his sea of consciousness, constantly operating, surprisingly causing his sea of consciousness to expand once again!
The primary sea of consciousness and the secondary sea of consciousness expanded fully by a factor of one. Now, Fang Han felt that even if he couldn't refine and accommodate the Nine Ghosts Primal Spirit of the Ghost Emperor, he could accommodate the mana of another Golden Core.
After expanding the sea of consciousness, this Great Devouring Demonic Formation automatically sought out Fang Han's Natal Amulet and merged into it.
The Natal Amulet trembled and instantly received this demonic art divine ability.
The Natal Amulet, which originally contained fifty-five divine abilities, had now surprisingly become fifty-six great divine abilities. Moreover, once that Great Devouring Demonic Formation flew into the amulet, the devouring demonic energy enveloped the Natal Amulet, making this amulet even tighter and more solid, faintly showing signs of condensing into a Golden Core again.
But at this time, it was definitely not the time to condense a Golden Core.
Moreover, with an extra divine ability, who knew how much more vital energy was needed for the amulet to transform into a Golden Core. Besides, transforming a Golden Core meant one couldn't be disturbed. Doing so while besieged by Hua Tiandu in a lightning formation was courting death.
"Hmph! What Lightning Amulet Grand Formation? It's simply a joke. Watch how I break it! Hua Tiandu, if you came to kill me with your full strength, I might have some reservations. You split less than half of your power, didn't even bring a magic treasure, and want to kill me? That's a bit too naive."
Fang Han roamed within the lightning formation. He suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing a massive amount of the lightning formation. Instantly, a large portion of the lightning formation's power disappeared. His body flew out so fast almost not even a shadow was seen, and he vanished once more.
From the Kunpeng giant egg devouring the dragon eggs, evolving the Great Devouring Technique, entering Fang Han's sea of consciousness, and merging into the amulet, it took a long time to say but was actually just the blink of an eye. This was already in Fang Han's calculations.
This lightning formation of Hua Tiandu's, he originally could have forced it open by charging out with his Natal Amulet, but then Hua Tiandu would know he was Fang Han, bringing many troubles. Now, using the Great Devouring Demonic Formation to break the Lightning Amulet Formation made Hua Tiandu even more bewildered. This was a necessary tactic.
Now, Hua Tiandu wanted to kill him. It wasn't that easy.
"Great Devouring Technique!"
Fang Han abruptly executed the Great Devouring Technique, eating a gap in the lightning formation. Hua Tiandu was also greatly shocked. He hadn't expected that the most mysterious divine ability of the demonic sect could appear on the body of the "Life-Seizing Scholar."
Originally, he had some suspicions that this Life-Seizing Scholar had some connection to Fang Han, but looking at it now, it was impossible for Fang Han to know the Great Devouring Technique.
Therefore, with Fang Han's departure, he surprisingly didn't have time to give chase.
"The Great Devouring Technique… Even if it were me, and I obtained the cultivation method, I'm afraid it would take hundreds of years of cultivation to achieve great accomplishment. This kind of Daoist technique is the hardest to cultivate. This person actually managed to cultivate it successfully. Could it be the Heavenly Demon Crown Prince?" Hua Tiandu instantly withdrew the lightning formation and saw the entire crypt was absolutely empty. He didn't know where Fang Han had run off to at this moment.
"Hmph! Since he knows the Great Devouring Technique, then my thirty percent strength is not enough to capture this person. I'll go back and slay the King of Dark Hell first. This kid won't be able to run away."
Hua Tiandu's body moved and disappeared, drilling upwards towards the surface.
At this time, on the surface, within the lake crypt Dragon Palace, the powerhouse at the ninth layer of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven and Earth Aspect realm, "King of Dark Hell," was fighting a magical battle with Hua Tiandu to an critical juncture.
Hua Tiandu successively utilized two Dao artifacts, intending to directly collect this expert.
One had to know that a Golden Core expert could make even the Eternal Giants of the Longevity Secret Realm somewhat wary because of Golden Core self-detonation. An expert at the ninth layer of the Divine Ability Realm with a Heaven and Earth Aspect was even more terrifying. Once detonated, the power was even greater, sufficient to sweep away everything. Normally, when such experts engaged in magical battles, they were highly cautious and wouldn't strike to kill, stopping just before matters became fatal.
But today, Hua Tiandu forcibly wanted to obliterate a ninth layer Divine Ability expert. This also showed that he was even more overbearing than a Longevity Secret Realm expert.
However, he naturally had something to rely on. What he relied on were the two Dao artifacts.
The Panwu Divine Sword and the Great Wild Ancient Furnace!
The "Panwu Divine Sword" was a mid-grade Dao artifact; its immense power goes without saying. That "Great Wild Ancient Furnace" was even a high-grade Dao artifact! An existence of the same level as Fang Qingxue's "Immortal Lightning Amulet," capable of refining almost any existence. Back when Immortal Venerable Panwu was alive, he had once refined Demon Gods among the Heavenly Demons.
"Hua Tiandu! It's either you die or I die!"
The "King of Dark Hell" was completely trapped at this moment, and several magic treasures on his body had been shredded to pieces. No matter what magic treasure it was, including supreme-grade treasures, there was no way to resist the sharp edge of the Panwu Divine Sword.
Mid-grade Dao artifacts were not something a low-grade Dao artifact like the Blood Night King could be compared to.
The only thing the "King of Dark Hell" could rely on to contend right now was the Heaven and Earth Aspect he had painstakingly cultivated, the "Dark Hell Primal Spirit." He had cultivated it for a thousand years, possessing boundless might, and was able to withstand the slashing of the Panwu Divine Sword.
But it also consumed an immense amount of vital energy.
Moreover, that Great Wild Ancient Furnace enveloped him fiercely. He now knew that even if he used his final move, detonating his Heaven and Earth Aspect, it would be of no use. He couldn't break open the Great Wild Ancient Furnace, much less harm Hua Tiandu. Some residual essence from the self-detonation would also be sucked away.
With such thoughts, he lost even the desire to detonate his Heaven and Earth Aspect.
You must know that once the Heaven and Earth Aspect self-detonated, the person would die too, leaving absolutely no chance.
He was still bitterly holding on, looking for an opportunity.
Just then, rumbling sounds transmitted from underground. It seemed the other half of Hua Tiandu's Heaven and Earth Aspect had returned.
"No, I can't care about so much at this point." The King of Dark Hell hardened his heart. Suddenly, his arm jolted violently. Crack! The entire arm broke down into countless drops of blood rain. The howling of demons sounded within, and thick black clouds rolled out, all merging into the Dark Hell Primal Spirit.
This was his method of abandoning his body and self-mutilating.
It was called the "Demon Sacrifice Technique."
