The supreme headmaster of the Taiyi Sect, at the very moment Fang Han offered Song Weiyi's Golden Core to Immortal Venerable Linglong, actually used supreme divine powers to broadcast his voice, issuing a Heavenly Dao Hunt Order. He used ten billion medicinal pills, a medium-grade Dao weapon, the Huntian Sword, and the Taiqing Huntian Pill to call upon all fellow Daoists in the world to kill Fang Han.
This was tantamount to a demonstration of power.
How could Immortal Venerable Linglong allow Taoist Huntian, the headmaster of the Taiyi Sect, to make such a show of force? With a lift of her palm, five dragon-like streaks of crystal light shot out from the gaps between her fingers. Each streak of crystal light was thousands of feet long, exuding a majesty that could slice through the void and reverse time. Around the crystal light, rhythmic Zen chants emerged, and one world after another seemed to be derived and formed within. Subsequently, numerous phantoms of Heavenly Dragons appeared in the void. These Heavenly Dragons seemed like humans, devoutly believing in Immortal Venerable Linglong, generating an incredibly pure power of vows, and emitting strange incantations that vibrated with billions of voices simultaneously.
Immortal Venerable Linglong seemed to have raised a world of Heavenly Dragons, subduing them to pray for her.
"Om…"
Just this burst of power immediately tore apart the rolling black clouds outside the Linglong Blessed Land, the disaster that seemed like the descent of doomsday.
And Immortal Venerable Linglong's crystal light swept across the ten directions, transforming into thousands of dragon forms wandering everywhere. These dragon forms spurted crystal thunder from their mouths. As they opened their mouths, one massive thunderbolt after another shook out, shaking heaven and earth to the point of trembling.
Everyone present, whether they were Eternal Giants or Divine Power Realm experts, felt as if they were on the verge of the world's destruction.
At this moment, the headmaster of the Taiyi Sect, Taoist Huntian, and Immortal Venerable Linglong were engaging in a magical battle!
"Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World Great Immortal Technique!"
From the void, Taoist Huntian's voice transmitted, seemingly with slight surprise that Immortal Venerable Linglong could actually unleash such a formidable method, instantly dissolving his doomsday disaster.
According to legend, ten thousand Heavenly Dragons setting up a grand array could refine a world. The Immemorial Heavenly Dragon clan frequently refined one world after another.
And now, Immortal Venerable Linglong executed the legendary "Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World Great Immortal Technique" single-handedly. It was evident that her divine power was already immeasurable; even measuring her mana by the number of stars, suns, and moons in the sky would fall a little short.
"Hmph! Chou Huntian, you still know of the Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World Great Magic. This exquisite technique of the Immortal Realm, the source of the Great Dao, during the opening of heaven and earth from the Gate of Eternal Life in the Immortal Realm, a total of three thousand Great Daos flowed out, evolving into various supreme divine powers. Every thirty-three supreme divine powers cultivated can condense into one kind of Great Dao. My sect's Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World Great Immortal Technique is condensed from thirty-three supreme divine powers of the Dragon Clan. You probably haven't reached this realm yet, so I am just casting pearls before swine talking to you. Get back and call Taihuangtian, Taixutian, and Tailongtian all here; it won't be too late to fight me then!"
Immortal Venerable Linglong flicked her five fingers continuously, and infinite space derived from her fingertips. Suddenly, at the end of the infinite space, a tiny world was seen. It was fully one hundred and eight thousand miles in radius, like a country, with mountains, rivers, rocks, vegetation, all kinds of living creatures, bizarre and varied, having absolutely everything.
And in the center of this tiny world stood a Daoist, towering between heaven and earth, his eyes like lightning. With a slight intake of breath, winds and clouds changed; with a slight movement of his eyes, there was thunder and lightning. He was the master, the creator, the Lord of Creation of this tiny world.
"Oh. No wonder you cultivated to the seventh stage of Longevity and refined your own Hunyuan World. That's why you dared to come find me today. Then I will use the Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World Great Immortal Technique to refine your world."
As she spoke, Immortal Venerable Linglong made a forceful grab. The endless void shattered repeatedly, and ten thousand crystal dragons roared as they charged into the void, biting fiercely into that world of one hundred and eight thousand miles in radius. They surrounded it tightly, crystal thunder vibrating, and their mouths spurted streams of dragon fire, aiming to refine this world.
"Linglong, you are indeed formidable, worthy of being a genius figure who once belonged to my Taiyi Sect. In the Immortal Dao Assembly two years later, I will come again to experience your divine powers. I won't keep you company today. Fellow Daoists, I am the headmaster of the Taiyi Sect. Since my decree has been issued, my word is final. With the Heavenly Dao Hunt Order issued, whoever can kill this boy Fang Han can come to my Taiyi Sect at any time to collect a medium-grade Dao weapon, an Immortal Pill, and ten billion medicinal pills."
The Daoist in this world knew the formidable power of Immortal Venerable Linglong's "Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World Great Immortal Technique." With a shake of his entire body, his Hunyuan World shrank thousands of times, becoming like a speck of dust, and suddenly shot out towards the endless void. In an instant, it seemed to have fled hundreds of billions of miles, unknown to which world or which space it had reached, passing through layers of void, so close yet worlds apart. Without comprehending the mysteries of space, even if one flew for a thousand or ten thousand years, it would be impossible to find a trace of his clothing.
Immortal Venerable Linglong abruptly stood up. As she stood, the overlapping layers of space and time all began to shake. Countless flows of time were reversing and turning backward. She emitted a grand voice: "When I attain Eternal Life, spanning billions of worlds, all sentient beings shall enter the Immortal Realm, time flows like water, and the past is just like this!"
"Bang!"
At the end of a time and space, it suddenly froze.
The world of one hundred and eight thousand miles that had just shrunk like a speck of dust suddenly revealed itself, seemingly having encountered a tremendous obstacle.
"The natural disaster descends, destroying heaven and earth! The great thousand worlds, return to the primordial!" Within this "one hundred and eight thousand mile world," that Taiyi Sect headmaster, Taoist Huntian, suddenly emitted a string of incantations, sending out a majestic voice identical to Immortal Venerable Linglong's, intimidating thousands of spaces.
Crackle, the imprisoned time and space began to operate again. Taoist Huntian actually broke Immortal Venerable Linglong's Dao technique.
However, Immortal Venerable Linglong did not pause, but continued to emit an even greater voice: "When I attain Eternal Life, all heavens, the sentient beings numerous as hundreds of billions of motes of dust, who recite my name, shall all attain freedom, boundless and limitless!"
Rumble!
In the sheer, obscure time and space, a vast power of vows, like a sea of stars, surged down, transforming into golden rivers that poured and dashed, pressing towards Taoist Huntian's "one hundred and eight thousand mile world."
"Hongmeng Great Vow, Forty-Eight Great Vow Techniques!"
Taoist Huntian's entire body trembled. the "one hundred and eight thousand mile world" around him cracked everywhere, unexpectedly producing many fissures, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure of Immortal Venerable Linglong's massive power. At the same time, he seemed to have recognized what kind of Dao technique Immortal Venerable Linglong was executing!
It had already surpassed the level of supreme divine powers.
"When I attain Eternal Life, through all time and space, past and future, all sentient beings numerous as all kinds of stars smashed into specks of dust, whose minds focus on my name, shall all attain Eternal Life. If not, I shall not attain Eternal Life…"
Immortal Venerable Linglong paid no attention to Taoist Huntian's voice, but facing the endless time and space, issued one grand vow after another. Every grand vow was immensely grand, intimidating all heavens and myriad worlds, all time and space, all various things of the past, present, and future, with an inconceivable, majestic power.
"When I attain Eternal Life…"
"When I attain Eternal Life…"
At this moment, within his mind, Fang Han could not see any scene at all, not even the struggle between Immortal Venerable Linglong and Taoist Huntian. In his ears and in his mind, only Immortal Venerable Linglong's words of making grand vows remained.
Every grand vow resonated so deeply that the very souls of countless time and space and countless living beings seemed to be catering to Immortal Venerable Linglong's voice. Fang Han also seemed to generate reverence for Immortal Venerable Linglong's voice, involuntarily clasping his hands together and beginning to worship.
Not only Fang Han, but even some of the Eternal Giants and formidable figures of the Immortal and Demonic paths present also found their minds swaying, seemingly generating a devout belief in Immortal Venerable Linglong.
"So formidable, the forty-eight Great Vow Techniques! Hongmeng Great Vow! I have finally witnessed the long-lost Hongmeng Great Vow, the most formidable ultimate technique of the master of the Immemorial Three Emperors, Taoist Hongmeng, the Great Vow Technique! This Great Vow Technique is composed of forty-eight supreme divine powers. If they are all successfully cultivated and combined together, they will form the Hongmeng Great Vow, which can subdue all kinds of karma, grudges, demons, and deities. If it weren't for our profound cultivation, we would probably also be worshipping Linglong right now."
Among those who came to offer birthday congratulations this time, there were some Giants who were not affected by Immortal Venerable Linglong's Great Vow Technique, the Hongmeng Great Vow.
That was the headmaster of the "Crystal Cave Heaven," Mr. Shui Jing. And the alliance leader of the Six Paths Alliance, Six Paths Sanren. As for the several Giants beside the two of them, they also did not speak, but silently operated their mana to resist the impact of the Great Vow Technique and the Hongmeng Great Vow.
"Fortunately, Linglong's Great Vow Technique is not directed at us, otherwise I am afraid I wouldn't be able to resist and would be subdued by her." Six Paths Sanren shrugged his shoulders: "Look at that boy Fang Han, he can't resist it either."
"Linglong's Great Vow Technique has already reached the realm of the Human Emperor back in those years. If she struck with her full power, you and I certainly couldn't resist. Look at that Taoist Huntian, he is already struggling to cope!"
Mr. Shui Jing pointed towards the distant time and space, where Taoist Huntian's Hunyuan World was completely enveloped by the Great Vow Technique, seemingly about to be refined.
He knew that Immortal Venerable Linglong intended to subdue this Taoist Huntian, completely subduing this supreme headmaster of the Taiyi Sect into becoming a loyal believer who worshipped her.
This was simply an incomparably insane action. Even if a legendary immortal of the Immortal Realm came down, they might not dare to say they could subdue the supreme headmaster of the Taiyi Sect.
"Taihuangtian will definitely come forward to intervene, right!" Six Paths Sanren said: "After all, both this Taoist Huntian and Immortal Venerable Linglong are his proud disciples."
Just as Six Paths Sanren's voice faded, suddenly, a terrifying huge hand broke through the void and grabbed down, viciously scooping up the golden light of Immortal Venerable Linglong's Great Vow Technique. Inside, Taoist Huntian's Hunyuan World abruptly shrank and vanished in a flash. And that terrifying huge hand also immediately dissipated.
From Immortal Venerable Linglong's eyes, streams of incantations shot out, deriving into the void and transforming into two long ropes. Her voice became even more resonant: "When I attain Eternal Life, all external paths shall not enter the mortal world. All sentient beings shall not be eroded by external paths…"
Rumble!
A patch of void collapsed, and that terrifying huge hand instantly appeared and disintegrated! And Taoist Huntian also let out a burst of wild roaring. Both of these individuals transformed into a single drop of fresh blood.
Two drops of fresh blood flew out from the void and landed on Immortal Venerable Linglong's hand.
All fluctuations disappeared without a trace.
