"For the Longevity Realm, there is only a thread of a chance for survival. Everyone wants to fight for it. This time, Immortal Venerable Linglong is gifting us three supreme divine powers: Ancestral Zuma God Qi, Great Pudu Zen Light, and Mount Sumeru King Fist. These are originally supreme divine powers for refining the body and refining the mind. As long as they are obtained, experts like us at the tenth tier of the Divine Power Realm can almost immediately achieve the Longevity Realm and break through our limits! Who wouldn't fight for this opportunity? What is there left to talk about consideration?"
Facing Fang Han's threat, Wan Lianshan said directly: "The path of cultivation is tens of thousands of troops crossing a single-log bridge. Whoever shows consideration will only have their body smashed into pieces."
"Brother Wan Lianshan speaks correctly. Fang Han, although your mana is powerful, your realm is too low. If we let you obtain the teaching of the three supreme divine powers this time, how could we be willing to accept it?"
Said Jiao Fei from the Heaven Communication Sword Sect, ranking fifth on the Longevity Reserve List.
"Alright then, I shall come experience your divine powers and sword skills." Fang Han smiled incredibly insidiously.
"Everyone here are the outstanding talents of the Immortal and Demonic paths. Although my Linglong Blessed Land is a sect of the Immortal Path, we advocate dual cultivation of immortal and demonic methods, pointing directly to the Great Dao. The reason our headmaster Immortal Venerable Linglong brought out the three supreme divine powers this time is to promote the young. During this time, the young talented experts of both the Immortal and Demonic paths, the experts of the Divine Power Realm, can play around at the birthday banquet. The winner takes it all."
Beside Immortal Venerable Linglong, a female Giant elder suddenly spoke. Her rolling voice suppressed all the noise in the venue. Following that, the Great Sumeru Divine Light on the Mount Sumeru Gold suddenly condensed into a high arena, measuring three thousand feet in both length and width, standing tall in the void.
At this moment, Immortal Venerable Linglong waved her hand, and three talismans flew out from her fingers. One appeared in an ancient black color, resembling the shell of some ferocious giant beast from immemorial times, revealing an indestructible defensive capability at a single glance. This talisman was the divine power "Ancestral Zuma God Qi".
Even if an expert at the tenth tier of the Divine Power Realm, Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, obtained the cultivation method for the Ancestral Zuma God Qi of the "Zuma Sect," it would take hundreds of years of bitter cultivation to forge such a divine power.
Yet Immortal Venerable Linglong only needed one or two years to refine one such streak.
There was another talisman flashing with Buddha light, within which casually sat a great golden Buddha chanting Zen scriptures. Hearing it in one's ears generated a pure and devout power of belief and vow. Undeniably, this divine power was the "Great Pudu Zen Light" that Fang Han had dreamed of. Upon possessing it, it could instantly multiply the power of the Five Elements Place spirit talismans and the Six-Syllable True Mantra, thereby infinitely elevating the might of the "Eight部 Pagoda."
The final talisman looked like a simple and unsophisticated character for mountain. It too shone with brilliant golden light, capable of suppressing evil demons from the ten directions when deployed. This was the "Great Mount Sumeru King Fist."
Each of the three supreme divine powers would strengthen one's power upon acquisition. Let alone three.
"Fellow Daoists, for my four thousandth birthday this time, there is no good program for you to enjoy. Thus, I have set up this arena to let the outstanding talents of the Immortal and Demonic paths go up and compete. The prize will be these three supreme divine powers. The juniors of the Divine Power Realm may all go up and try their hands. As for the Giants of the Longevity Realm, do not contend with the juniors. Everyone just consider it entertainment for the birthday banquet."
Immortal Venerable Linglong spoke slowly: "Alright, fellow Daoists, just wait and see."
The Eternal Giants of the Longevity Realm were not allowed to participate in this competition. Immortal Venerable Linglong originally merely intended to add entertainment to her birthday banquet. To have an enjoyable program. But the prize for this program was truly far too heavy.
Swish!
Just as Immortal Venerable Linglong's words fell, "Wan Lianshan," who had just obtained the Profound Heaven Nine Transformations divine power to condense his physical body, crossed over to the arena condensed by the Sumeru Divine Light in one step. A precious sword popped out of its sheath in his palm, and he flicked the sword, giving a long whistle: "Who will come battle me? To add a little excitement to Immortal Venerable Linglong's birthday gift?"
Among the Divine Power Realm experts who came to pay respects this time, Fan Qingying did not come, Yan Shuiyi did not come, and Hua Tiandu did not come. "Wan Lianshan" could have originally dominated, but unfortunately, a Fang Han had appeared.
However, he presented the most precious "Picture of the Nine Heavens Profound Girl" and received the on-the-spot reward of the "Profound Heaven Nine Transformations" divine power from Immortal Venerable Linglong. His physical body achieved great completion, his confidence skyrocketed, and he believed that even if he fought Hua Tiandu, he would not be defeated. Hence, his spirits were high, and he prepared to forcefully suppress the heroes.
If "Wan Lianshan" truly suppressed the heroes and obtained the three supreme divine powers, after going back and cultivating bitterly for half a year to a year, he really could achieve the first tier of the Longevity Realm, the Myriad Longevity Realm.
"Wan Lianshan's" aura was too intense, and no one was willing to strike first. Fang Han was also secretly pondering his "Wind and Fire Great Calamity," wanting to let others test the waters first.
"Fang Han, would you come and fight me? I want to see exactly how formidable your strength has become, and whether you can stand shoulder to shoulder with experts like Yan Shuiyi, Hua Tiandu, and Fan Qingying."
Wan Lianshan suddenly turned the edge of his sword, pointing directly at Fang Han to issue a challenge.
Being called out by name to be challenged, Fang Han did not hesitate either. His body moved, vibrating countless times in an instant, and he had already arrived on the void arena. Looking out, all the experts who had come to the Sumeru Gold Mountain to pay respects were looking at him.
"What a good method by Immortal Venerable Linglong, setting up such a grand spectacle to add excitement to the birthday celebration. In the future, this will probably be eagerly discussed by both the Immortal and Demonic paths." Fang Han calculated secretly. He wasn't jealous that Immortal Venerable Linglong had gifted "Wan Lianshan" the Profound Heaven Nine Transformations divine power either. After all, the other party's gift was far too precious—the Picture of the Nine Heavens Profound Girl, painted by the hand of the Human Emperor. If Immortal Venerable Linglong didn't express some appreciation, then who would come pledge allegiance to her in the future?
This was a method of extreme balance, played without the slightest flaw.
"Wan Lianshan, you really want to cross hands with me; yet I will tell you. When I was on my way to pay respects this time, both Yan Shuiyi and Fan Qingying came to kill me. But I broke through their heavy encirclement; what do you think of that? Relying on your strength, can you resist Yan Shuiyi's Azure Sea Divine Pearl? Fan Qingying's Great Chaos Thunder Sword?" Stepping onto the arena, Fang Han spoke sharply to "Wan Lianshan," aggressively frightening the man.
"What? You've fought with both Yan Shuiyi and Fan Qingying?" Wan Lianshan was shocked: "Since you possess such strength, why didn't you go back and kill Hua Tiandu? You have a ten-year life-and-death agreement with him; there's still time to root him out thoroughly now."
"Hmph! If I don't kill him, I naturally have my own reasons. Within the sect, he has several Giants protecting him. The ten-year agreement hasn't arrived yet, so it isn't appropriate for me to rashly act to kill him." Fang Han's fingers curled like hooks, "But even if he has cultivated to the Longevity Realm now, once my great dharma is complete, I will still pinch him to death just like pinching an ant."
Of course, Fang Han currently wanted to kill Hua Tiandu, but within the sect there was Ruyizi stirring up storms, and besides, Hua Tiandu couldn't be killed. Possessing a high-grade Dao weapon, it would not be a difficult task for him to retreat intact. Moreover, the ten-year agreement had not arrived yet.
Waiting until he cultivated to the tenth tier of the Divine Power Realm and the Eight部 Pagoda crossed over the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels, even if he couldn't break through to the Longevity Realm, he would no longer have to fear Ruyizi.
When that time came, it would be Hua Tiandu's date of death! After breaking through to the Longevity Realm, he even planned to beat Ruyizi until he wished he were dead.
Ruyizi was a bit inferior even to Qiu Xiyu, far from having any hope of cultivating an Undying Body. If Fang Han fought him now, he could also retreat intact without being heavily injured.
"Brother Fang Han is definitely boasting. With Fan Qingying and Yan Shuiyi joining hands, the power of two high-grade Dao weapons can kill a Giant of the Longevity Realm. Could it be that Brother Fang Han believes you have reached such a stage? Even if Brother Fang Han has reached this stage, I still must give it a try. I haven't not crossed hands with Eternal Giants before."
"Wan Lianshan" was not intimidated. Instead, his fighting intent erupted, because in this fight, his life was definitely not in danger. Being able to decisively battle an expert like Fang Han was an opportunity one encountered but could not purposefully seek.
"He actually wasn't frightened. It seems I can only use hard tactics! Fortunately, the Wind and Fire Great Calamity within my Golden Core is sealed by the Great Vow Technique; otherwise, only being able to utilize three-tenths of my power now, I definitely couldn't defeat this person. That would be a huge loss—not to mention losing face completely, I could forget about obtaining the three supreme divine powers."
Fang Han flicked his finger, and a streak of fiery light shot out. It was precisely the Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi.
A snake-like streak of fiery light shot back and forth like lightning, directly launching a fatal strike towards the deepest part of "Wan Lianshan's" pupils.
He began his move.
Upon acting, Fang Han did not fly out his Golden Core to strike with the power of one hundred million galloping fiery horses. Instead, he made a probing strike. Firstly, he wanted to clearly understand what treasures this "Wan Lianshan" had on him; secondly, he feared that using too much force would trigger the Wind and Fire Great Calamity deep within his Golden Core.
"Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi!"
Wan Lianshan saw the fiery light flying towards him. Although it was just a line of fire, the surrounding airflow seemed to be ignited. The fire poison infiltrated and permeated his protective astral qi, attacking straight into his meridians.
His body also began to burn as if he were a torch.
"Pfft!"
"Wan Lianshan" opened his mouth and spat out a stream of water vapor. This stream of water vapor was surprisingly a brilliant blue color, and every single drop of water carried the weight of a thousand jun. It was remarkably the "One Yuan Heavy Water" he had cultivated himself, capable of extinguishing all fire energy and acting as the bane of all fires in the world. Especially since this "One Yuan Heavy Water" merged into his own mana, the water-attribute astral qi cultivated was the most vigorous.
Coupled with "Wan Lianshan's" realm being much higher than Fang Han's, at the tenth tier of the Divine Power Realm, the quality of his astral qi was extraordinary. With just a single move, he extinguished the flames surrounding his body. Then, with a crashing sound of ocean waves, it counterattacked towards Fang Han, tightly wrapping him up, as if trying to envelop Fang Han in a massive sphere of water.
"Fang Han, if you only have this little trick, you can step down."
Wan Lianshan gave a long, hearty laugh. The water sphere shrank, compressing inward, aiming to crush Fang Han to pieces. One Yuan Heavy Water was incredibly heavy; a single drop could crush a person to death directly.
"Whoosh!"
Right at this moment, Fang Han, inside that water sphere, suddenly vanished without a trace. Beside Wan Lianshan, a crystal ray of sword qi appeared, instantly launching a murderous cut downwards. It was precisely the White Emperor Metal Sovereign Slash! It could kill someone instantly, more fierce and sharp than even a Dao weapon. Even the Instant Kill Great Magic of the Yuhua Sect had to concede defeat to it.
The White Emperor Metal Sovereign Slash, the pinnacle of all metal-attribute divine powers between heaven and earth.
Fang Han's move this time relied on pure skill. He used the Fire Sovereign Qi to lure out Wan Lianshan's water-attribute divine powers, then suddenly executed the Black Emperor Water Sovereign Fist to escape, and followed with the White Emperor Metal Sovereign Slash to strike!
The application of the Five Elements, accurate down to the smallest detail.
