The Ruyi Vajra Ring, the pressure from four Golden Cores, along with the majestic might of a Myriad Stars Floating Light Sword Array, oppressed the Black Phantom King until he could barely breathe.
"Could it be, it wants me to self-mutilate an arm! Execute the Demon Sacrificing Body Art!" The Black Phantom King continuously cursed in his heart, wondering why he was so unlucky. Meeting Hua Tiandu, this god of disaster, caused him to lose an arm; meeting Fang Han resulted in him being absolutely suppressed and becoming another's servant; now arriving within the Myriad Stars Sect, he was bullied by these orthodox dao experts again.
For a thousand years, he had never been so aggrieved.
"Hmph! Black Phantom King, you demonic head, it was known long ago that you were full of heinous crimes, today you can finally be considered to have met with heavenly execution!" Second Senior Brother Zang Wei saw his "Ruyi Vajra Ring" trap the Gloomy Origin Soul, while at the same time nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine swords were arranged outside, constantly shuttling about, exhausting the other party's origin energy. He felt quite proud in his heart.
"I have already forsaken evil and returned to the righteous path, pledging allegiance to Fang Han! Becoming a person of the orthodox dao, acting as a dharma protector for Fang Han now, what do you mean by dealing with me like this? Do you perhaps want to deal with a VIP of your Myriad Stars Sect!" The Black Phantom King roared loudly, continuously executing profound demonic arts, operating his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, the Gloomy Origin Soul, turning it non-stop.
"Demonic head, you still dare to talk back!"
At this time, Yu Tianhua had almost completely suppressed the demonic saber Blood Sky. Although he wasn't able to damage the artifact spirit inside, he rendered the King of the Blood Night unable to move.
He was an expert at the peak of the ninth tier, and possessed the Dao artifact "Ancient Cloud Whisk". With the two combined, although suppressing the demonic saber Blood Sky was difficult, it was by no means impossible.
At this moment, having suppressed it, he found more free time. He opened his mouth and spat, and a flying sword he had ritually refined flew out, shockingly slashing towards the main body of the Black Phantom King stationed below the mountain peak!
"Demonic head, who knows how many sins you have committed in this lifetime. Even if Fang Han makes you forsake evil and return to the righteous path, you can hardly escape death. I will first sever your physical body, rendering you homeless before anything else!"
He actually used a ruthless move to kill the Black Phantom King's physical body! Once the physical body was killed, even though the Black Phantom King could possess another body now, his origin energy would be greatly damaged, and additionally the soul and the physical body would not merge perfectly, lacking innate compatibility, rendering it fundamentally impossible for him to cultivate to the Longevity Secret Realm.
Although he was secretly surprised in his heart that an old demonic head like the Black Phantom King had actually pledged allegiance to Fang Han, not knowing how Fang Han subdued this old demonic head. But now that Fang Han was in secluded meditation, cutting off his right-hand man, moreover a demonic head, there definitely would be nothing out of place to say.
"My physical body!"
The Black Phantom King's face changed in great shock. Losing an arm could still be reattached to another, agonizingly cultivated back. But having the physical body killed, that simply meant sinking into the sea of bitterness. Right then, he repeatedly employed profound art alterations, surprisingly splitting off a streak of demonic qi from the Gloomy Origin Soul, blocking Yu Tianhua's flying sword.
"This old demonic head is quite formidable, even like this he can't be taken down."
A huge killing intent surged in Seventh Junior Brother "Wu Zixu". He repeatedly urged his Golden Core, to bombard the opponent's Gloomy Origin Soul. At the same time, he spewed out origin energy from his mouth, and origin pellet fire actually began to burn on his Golden Core.
He didn't hesitate to consume origin energy to suppress the Black Phantom King.
At this time, the experts ranked second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh in the Myriad Stars Sect all besieged the Black Phantom King, beating the Black Phantom King to a state worse than death.
Six great experts: two strong individuals at the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol tier possessing Dao artifacts, two people at the eighth tier of the Divine Ability Realm who had passed the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation, and two cultivators at the peak of the seventh tier, Golden Core.
These six great experts added together were barely much different compared to Hua Tiandu. The pressure they exerted on the Black Phantom King covered the sky and the earth. However, the Black Phantom King was a thousand-year-old demonic head, and it was impossible for him to die so easily. He supported himself bitterly.
"Hmph!"
Right at this time, that unfathomable Eldest Senior Brother, Xing Miexie—a person ranked in the top ten on the Longevity Candidate List, even above Yu Jizi—seemed to have sensed something. Snorting coldly, he was about to stand up and also strike against the Black Phantom King.
The very instant he stood up, an awe-inspiring talisman shot out from the mountain peak, surrounded by countless stars. At the same time, a Five Emperors Canopy sat squarely at the core center, outer sections cut by black lines, as a bloody massive mouth appeared. Simultaneously, endless ghosts, blood infants, and ghostly phantoms drifted within it, overwhelming the scene with pressure!
This talisman was a full doorboard in size. The moment it manifested, its massive might nearly caused the entire mountain gate of the Myriad Stars Sect to shake. The mountain peaks were almost on the verge of collapsing, as if this space could not bear the might of this talisman and was about to disintegrate.
No one could describe the might of this talisman. It was as if the ancient immortals of various heavens had tossed down an imperial edict onto the human realm. Or as if an immemorial God Emperor had descended his meticulously written parchment onto the heavens and the earth, even more like the profound textures condensed from all subtleness in heaven and earth. Massive power and various divine abilities all coalesced into one. Within it, there was the immortal dao, there was the demonic dao, immortal and demon merging into one. No one could withstand the pressure of this talisman.
Containing ninety divine abilities, an origin talisman of the totality of the Ghost Emperor's magic power, overtly manifested within the mountain gate of the Myriad Stars Sect.
Hu hu, hu hu… Vast magic power, a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than the astral winds of the nine heavens! Pushing Wu Zixu, Hua Wumei… Yu Tianhua, Zang Ruyi backwards inch by inch. No matter what magic power they executed, they were utterly unable to steady their bodies.
Peng peng!
That "Ancient Cloud Whisk" trapping the demonic saber Blood Sky, and the "Ruyi Vajra Ring" restraining the Gloomy Origin Soul were also directly pushed open at once. The King of the Blood Night and the Black Phantom King felt a bout of relief, both having escaped danger.
Subsequently, this talisman twitched slightly, and the entire land within a hundred miles was enveloped by an absolute grand magic power. An egg-shaped grand canopy descended down, establishing a domain that locked in the seven most formidable true disciples of the Myriad Stars Sect.
The expression on these seven great disciples' faces changed!
"Fang Han! You are truly formidable. You actually refined the Ghost Emperor's Nine Ghosts Origin Soul! For your sea of consciousness to be able to accommodate so much divine ability magic power, it is truly terrifying!"
The number one person among true disciples in the Myriad Stars Sect, ranked top ten on the Longevity Candidate List, Xing Miexie said.
So this was Fang Han's origin talisman. He finally refined the Ghost Emperor's Nine Ghosts Origin Soul, wiping out the Ghost Emperor's consciousness.
Time returned to the previous moment!
When the seven great true disciples arrived, Fang Han already knew the situation outside.
"Hmph! I calculated long ago that the disciples of the Myriad Stars Sect would come to crush my prestige, which is why I used the Eight-部 Pagoda treasures to suppress the Ghost Emperor. Now my guess was indeed correct. It seems my calculations are truly profound and my handling of matters thorough; otherwise, if they had suppressed Blood Sky and the Black Phantom King, I would have lost all face!"
At this very instant, he abruptly exerted force, and the Ghost Emperor's thought within his sea of consciousness let out a bout of miserable screaming, turning entirely to ash and annihilation: "Fang Han, you're ferocious, even like this I cannot scheme against you!"
Afterward, Fang Han poured all the accumulated immortal world origin qi into his own origin talisman. In just a few moments, the talisman was smelted to grand completion.
An incredibly rare origin talisman condensing ninety divine abilities, from all of eternity, was born.
The moment it flew out, it emitted earth-shaking oppressive force. It rescued the King of the Blood Night and the Black Phantom King, and forced back the seven great experts. Before, with fifty-six divine abilities, though he could also have rescued them, it would be far from having this kind of powerful dominance. The seven great experts of the Myriad Stars Sect were of no trivial matter, especially Xing Miexie. Fang Han could feel that although not as good as Hua Tiandu, he was definitely much more tyrannical than the Ghost Emperor, even more powerful than the Heavenly Craftsmanship Elder and the Merit Transmission Elder of the Yuhua Sect!
"Everyone, I am an honored guest of the Myriad Stars Sect. While I am cultivating divine abilities here, you actually come to suppress my Dao artifact, and try to kill my servant. Is this how you treat guests?" Fang Han caused the origin talisman above his head to manifest into an egg-shaped grand canopy, surrounding the crowd inside. Then, a gaze like lightning swept across to scan the group.
"Fellow Daoist Fang Han, since you have come as a guest to our Myriad Stars Sect, the guest should comply with the host's arrangements. Do not unpleasantly usurp the host's role." Right at this time, Yu Tianhua spoke, "It's best if you don't interfere with the internal affairs of our Myriad Stars Sect."
"Oh? I wonder what I've interfered with?" Fang Han asked in reply, whilst bringing out the demonic saber Blood Sky into his hand, using his fingers to caress the blade's edge, but the blade's edge could not slice into his skin.
Upon seeing this, the eyes of the seven great true disciples tightened again: "Has this person's physical body truly become powerful to such a stage?"
"Since it's like this everyone should have a tacit understanding by now. Pertaining to our Myriad Stars Sect's battle for the seat of the Patriarch, it's not convenient for an outsider to interject. After all, Xingyun Baobao is young of age, so don't lead him astray. You yourself offended the Taiyi Sect entirely on your own, yet you want to drag someone down into the water, bringing disaster to Baobao. This seems a bit too malicious. You letting Xingyun Baobao refine a Golden Core belonging to a Taiyi Sect disciple is equivalent to stealing the divine abilities of the Taiyi Sect. This has already pitted him relentlessly against the Taiyi Sect. In the event that the Taiyi Sect becomes ruthless in the future, what will you do about it?"
Xing Miexie said in a deep tone.
"The Taiyi Sect discards both morality and a sense of shame. As the saying goes, those conforming to the dao attract much support, whereas those abandoning the dao lack it. They are bound to decay in the future. I am assisting Xingyun Baobao in augmenting his strength; I am aiding him. Within the lengthy years of cultivating the dao, everything is an illusion; only personal strength is authentic and non-illusory. Everyone here has cultivated the dao significantly longer than I have, so it's not possible that you don't grasp this principle, is it! Now Xingyun Baobao already possesses strength capable of rivaling a Golden Core expert. With a bit of time, his cultivation will progress by leaps and bounds. Once he condenses a Golden Core, he wouldn't need to fear anybody! A couple of centuries later, should he cultivate up to the Longevity Secret Realm, who would be giving him any trouble?"
Fang Han smiled softly.
"Fang Han, for your origin talisman to actually be cultivated with ninety divine abilities, the tyrannical degree of your magic power is presently already beyond mine. Still, your underlying personal realm has not reached the standard of a Golden Core yet. Compared to me, you're relatively far off. Pertaining to that, I quite possess an interest in an exchange of blows with you. Let's do this, how about an agreement. If you emerge victorious over me, I will retreat behind the scenes, become an Elder of the Myriad Stars Sect, and will no longer be a true disciple. Conversely, if I emerge victorious over you, from then onward, you shall no longer interfere with the internal matters of my Myriad Stars Sect, what do you think? On top of that, your spirit talismans linked to the Five Elements Land, and the Water of Forgetfulness within the Yellow Springs Diagram, I would be borrowing them."
Xing Miexie's body stepped forward, directing his gaze upwards to look at the sky canopy, seemingly inferring Fang Han's strength, to carry out a comparative judgment.
"I observed you upon the Longevity Candidate List; your ranking is seventh! Xing Miexie!" Fang Han narrowed his eyes. If the other party turned into an Elder, it would equate to his withdrawal from the competition to become the Patriarch.
