"God King, they are actually God Kings of the Protoss? What are they trying to do? Does the Protoss want to infiltrate the Great Xuan Empire? Although the Protoss is a treasure trove, God King level experts are extremely hard to kill. Perhaps there is a God Emperor behind them? Among the Protoss, a Divine Monarch is equivalent to a Heaven-Man Realm expert, while a God King is equivalent to an expert above the Golden Core! If these God Kings were all ordinary Golden Cores, I could kill them all, but these few God Kings are unfathomable…"
Seeing these God Kings, Fang Han's heart boiled like roaring water.
Within the Protoss, a "Divine Monarch" was equivalent to an expert at the fifth or sixth level of the Divine Ability Realm.
A "God King" corresponded to the seventh level Golden Core, eighth level, ninth level, and tenth level of the Divine Ability Realm. All could be addressed as Kings.
And a "God Emperor," was a giant of the ages of the Longevity Mystery Realm, possessing boundless power.
On the surface, these "God Kings" looked very ordinary, just like that batch of rogue cultivators such as "Reverend Xiaoyue," "Reverend Xianji," and "Reverend Xihua." If ordinary Daoist techniques were used to probe them, they would appear as figures at the third or fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm.
However, Fang Han could sense through the "World Tree" that these few were all "God Kings." Especially two of the God Kings, the cold glint flickering in their eyes conveyed an inhuman despair, and it was unknown how profound their cultivation was. The "Divine Power" of these Protoss was different from the "Astral Qi" of ordinary cultivators, and its power was far more formidable than that of ordinary cultivators as well.
"Fourth Brother, what wind blew you here today?"
Prince Yi actually did not know the origins of these Protoss, thinking they were ordinary rogue cultivators recruited by "Prince Yi." With Fang Han as his backing, right now, aside from the giants of the ages in the Longevity Mystery Realm, he truly placed absolutely no one in the corner of his eye.
"Twenty-fourth Brother, haven't you been calculating early on to offer birthday congratulations to Immortal Venerable Linglong? Naturally, I am going too. Let us travel together so we can look out for each other on the way. Also, this cultivator you recruited, the Life Reaping Scholar, was actually able to snatch a magic treasure from Hua Tiandu on Coiled Dragon Planet. With his assistance, your grand enterprise will definitely succeed."
Prince Yi looked at Fang Han with a faint smile, holding a half-smile. It was unknown what this profound Prince was thinking at this moment.
"Oh? Life Reaping Scholar? Actually able to snatch a magic treasure from Hua Tiandu's hands?" Right at this moment, a man in black behind Prince Yi stepped forward, sizing Fang Han up and down with pale, cold eyes, looking entirely unconvinced. That gaze was icy and inhuman, capable of seeing through any person's cycle of life and death.
"This is?"
Fang Han gave the fan in his hand a flutter and said lightly: "I wonder from where Prince Yi recruited this rogue cultivator?"
"This is a cultivator from Mount Dishi, Mr. Daxia," introduced the Thirteenth Prince, "Prince Zhan." He had once been defeated at Fang Han's hands and was extremely admiring of Fang Han's magic power.
"Mount Dishi? I have actually never heard of it." Fang Han smiled slightly.
"Merely an overseas rogue cultivator sect, its meager reputation does not enter your distinguished ears." Mr. Daxia, this mysterious God King of the black-clad Protoss, stared at Fang Han for quite a while before speaking slowly: "Life Reaping Scholar, Life Reaping Scholar. This name reaps people's lives. Unfortunately, it is too domineering. In case your life is reaped by someone else, it would be a fulfillment of this name."
"Is that so? I have roamed the world unrivaled for countless years and months. It is only I who reaps people's lives; there has never been anyone who could reap my life. I actually want to see who is capable of taking my life." Fang Han snapped his fan shut with a "smack" and tapped it against the palm of his hand.
"Truly an impressive and heroic spirit. Linglong Blessed Land is rumored to be located in the distant overseas. The sea is incomparably treacherous, and the Forty Thieves are unmatched in ferocity. Life Reaping Scholar, since you possess such magic power, it seems our journey will be entirely free of danger." Another man in black walked up: "I am Mr. Dahe of Mount Dishi."
Fang Han sneered coldly in his heart. This "Mr. Daxia" and "Mr. Dahe" were the most unfathomable existences among these several God Kings, standing as the leaders of this group. However, their true strength could only be estimated after exchanging blows, because the Protoss was different from cultivators, and it was still unknown what magic treasures these people had on them.
Last time, the magic treasures stored within the bodies of those few Divine Monarchs were equivalent to a treasury. Now, as for these few great God Kings, who knew how many treasures were hidden on them?
But Fang Han obviously could not strike casually.
Right then, Prince Zhan introduced these cultivators from "Mount Dishi" to Fang Han one by one. Besides the previous two, "Mr. Daxia" and "Mr. Dahe," there were fully five more cultivators.
Present at the scene were a total of seven people, seven great God Kings.
The "World Tree" at the center of Fang Han's brow surged frantically. If Fang Han hadn't suppressed it with all his might, it very likely would have erupted its aura to devour these seven great God Kings.
The World Tree was the nemesis of the Protoss. Otherwise, the mighty figures of the Protoss from hundreds of millions of immemorial years ago would not have chopped it down.
However, before finding out their definitive background, Fang Han would not rashly strike against this group of God Kings, yet this group of God Kings seemed to harbor a bit of murderous intent towards Fang Han. The look in their eyes towards him was exactly like looking at pigs and dogs waiting to be slaughtered.
"These God Kings want to scheme against me? Perhaps it is to approach the Fourth Prince, gain this person's trust, and kill me to obtain a pledge of allegiance. However, who kills who is not certain yet. Let us first hit the road together. We will talk again on the way." At this, Fang Han waved his fan: "Since preparations are complete, let us set off on our journey. There are less than ten days until Immortal Venerable Linglong's fortieth birthday. A slight delay will make us late."
"True enough, Twenty-fourth Brother, let us go." Prince Yi looked deeply at Fang Han. "We should not delay."
"Alright!"
Promptly, Prince Yi and Fang Han leapt up, ascending into the sky. The Fourth Prince, the Thirteenth Prince, and the seven great God Kings also flew up. The magic power of the two sides connected into a single divine rainbow, flying towards the overseas regions…
Overseas.
Rolling waves stretched limitlessly. Blue sky and white clouds, giant whales drawing water. It was unknown how many demons, ghosts, monsters, and Dao cultivators were hidden within. Let alone the "Myriad Returning Immortal Island," which held the greatest power, even the "Thunder Emperor's Cave Dwelling" opened by Fang Qingxue was located there. As Fang Han flew above the boundless sea, he suddenly wondered how the "Thunder Emperor's Cave Dwelling" was being managed.
The vast sea was difficult to cross. It was unknown how many miles it spanned. Even cultivators at the "Heaven-Man Realm," the fifth level of the Divine Ability Realm, could not fly across it all at once and had to find some islands to rest midway.
However, the people present now were all individuals with profound magic power and abundant wealth. Extracting magic crystals and jades like they cost nothing, they actually did not need to rest.
While flying, Mr. Daxia suddenly spoke to Fang Han in a gloomy and sinister tone.
"Life Reaping Scholar, your cultivation is hidden very well. We actually cannot see through it at all. I wonder if you have cultivated to the Golden Core realm, or the eighth, ninth, or even tenth level? That magic treasure on your body that hides your aura and alters your form is very miraculous."
Fang Han felt a shock in his heart. He had not expected that this "Mr. Daxia" could actually guess the miraculous use of his Yellow Spring Diagram's "Reincarnation Method": "The magic treasures on my body that hide my aura are exceedingly numerous. I truly do not know which one Mr. Daxia is speaking of."
"Hehe…"
Mr. Daxia laughed coldly and sinisterly twice. Suddenly, his eyes changed, and he pointed forward! "Heavenly Demons! Everyone, be careful!"
Prince Yi was startled. Sure enough, he saw ahead that gloomy winds came in gusts, and the entire sea level turned a dismal color. Countless sounds of ghosts weeping and wolves howling transmitted from afar. Dark clouds galloped like horses. It was unknown how many formless Heavenly Demons had transformed into twisted shapes, dancing wildly as they flew over.
Fang Han even saw that every ten thousand Heavenly Demons was led and commanded by a Demon King-level expert. They completely condensed these Heavenly Demons into a single force. At a glance, the countless squads of Heavenly Demons seemed like an army of the demon race descending upon the human world, seeking to conquer heaven and earth.
Although Fang Han had seen countless Heavenly Demons, witnessing the hundred-thousand-strong armies in the "Heavenly Demon Battlefield," the "Flesh and Blood Quagmire," and the "Water Gu Heavenly Demons," upon seeing the sheer number of Heavenly Demons before his eyes, he still could not believe his own eyes. The Heavenly Demon army before him stretched limitlessly, extending into the distant void.
"How could there be so many Heavenly Demons on the sea? Could it be those Protoss God Kings playing tricks? One must know, Heavenly Demons were war puppets manufactured by the Protoss in the past. Although they rebelled later on, the Protoss can still manufacture Heavenly Demons for their own use today."
Fang Han hastily swept his divine sense over the seven great God Kings around him.
"Mr. Daxia" simply shrank his body and actually separated from Fang Han: "This is a Heavenly Demon army. Let us each fight our way out of the heavy encirclement and then rendezvous again!"
As he spoke, the seven great God Kings, Prince Yi, and the Thirteenth Prince, Prince Zhan, exerted force simultaneously, flying towards the distance.
Just during this flight, the densely packed Heavenly Demon army had already pressed over. Leading the charge was a Demon King holding a square sky halberd and wearing black demon armor. By its appearance, it was unexpectedly an expert who had cultivated true qi and reached the second level of the Divine Ability Realm.
Of course, such a Demon King was not worth mentioning at all; Fang Han could kill a hundred of them with a flick of his finger. However, from all directions, there were actually no fewer than several hundred such Demon Kings. Each Demon King commanded ten thousand powerful Heavenly Demons, condensing into an array formation, their respective demonic energies connecting into a single entity. Circulating mutually, as Fang Han looked with his eyes, these densely packed Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Demon Kings actually formed an incomparably massive, colossal demon array that enveloped a radius of a thousand miles of the sea's surface.
Pop!
Fang Han first guarded his body, then flicked his finger fiercely. A bean-sized spot of starlight shot towards the foremost Demon King.
This was the supernatural power of the "Star Sand Refining Lightning Astral Qi."
That Demon King let out a chattering laugh and thrust its square sky halberd upwards, directly striking this spot of starlight. Suddenly, the starlight exploded, scattering into tens of thousands of grains of star sand. Every single grain of star sand was a divine thunder, exploding amidst the group of Heavenly Demons. A burst of thunderous explosions resounded everywhere, but suddenly, a monstrous demonic energy transmitted from within the Heavenly Demon grand array, directly submerging this Star Sand Lightning Astral Qi.
"It truly is a demon array!" Fang Han's heart chilled. Although this Star Sand Refining Lightning Astral Qi he executed only contained a fraction of a percent of his power, it was fully enough to kill a massive swath of Heavenly Demons.
Now, it had actually failed to kill even a single one.
At this moment, above this demon array, "Mr. Daxia," "Mr. Dahe," Prince Yi, the Thirteenth Prince Prince Zhan, and the five Protoss God Kings stood steadily atop the clouds, looking down at the demon array below.
"Mr. Daxia, are you saying this demon array can genuinely trap the Life Reaping Scholar?" Prince Zhan asked.
