"Wan Lianshan, you are already guaranteed to lose. If you continue fighting with me, sooner or later, your entire body's mana and astral qi will be sucked dry by me. It's better for you to just admit defeat directly. I will not kill you."
At this moment, Fang Han continuously rotated and wandered around Wan Lianshan. His body became as fast as a line, striking out a palm from time to time. Every palm strike executed condensed into a black hole, sucking and devouring the essential qi around "Wan Lianshan". It was simply treating this first true passed-down disciple of the Wangui Immortal Island as a pig, constantly cutting off its meat.
Holding on for more than ten breaths of time and counterattacking with all his might, but to no effect, Wan Lianshan also knew that he was firmly suppressed by Fang Han. Yet, unwilling to admit defeat, he gathered all his body's mana, condensing it into a mass, completely blending his Second Origin Spirit and Life-Bound Origin Spirit together in a cycle of Yin and Yang, forming a perfect Great Taiji.
That medium-grade Dao weapon, the "Tiansha Divine Shark Boat," further rotated around his body, locking down all essential qi completely without a single leak. It dashed left and right, attempting to break through Fang Han's blockade.
For a moment, Fang Han was actually unable to absorb his mana and astral qi either.
"Fang Han, I admit you are formidable, but it is also impossible for you to defeat me today. I have a medium-grade Dao weapon protecting my body; you can do nothing to me. If we continue to fight like this, both of us will suffer heavy injuries. I advise that we call this battle a draw, how about it? Both sides cease hostilities." After protecting himself and seeing that Fang Han could not break his body-protecting magic treasure, Wan Lianshan couldn't help but shout loudly.
"A draw? Admit defeat immediately. Otherwise, it will be too late for you to regret it." Fang Han let out a long, hearty laugh. He opened his mouth and spat continuously. As winds and clouds visibly changed, streams of surging mana were spat out, transforming into masses of Abi Demonic Qi in the blink of an eye. Circling the Tiansha Divine Shark Boat tightly, they suddenly drilled into it, immediately corroding this medium-grade Dao weapon.
Originally, it was extremely difficult for Dao weapons to be corroded, but under the suppression of Fang Han's Great Devouring Technique and Golden Core, the Abi Demonic Qi was forcefully driven in. The operation of the grand arrays within the Tiansha Divine Shark Boat slowed down, and the artifact spirit inside emitted an angry whale-like sound, flying out from the main body of the divine boat. It was a massive giant god with a human body holding a trident, yet its lower body was unexpectedly a shark's tail. Intwined entirely by Abi Demonic Qi, it let out agonizing roars. The trident in its hands spun wildly, erupting with boundless thunder astral qi all around, attempting to expel the Abi Demonic Qi.
"This medium-grade Dao weapon is far inferior to the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels, not just by a little bit. However, the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels are dual-cultivation Dao weapons, and their power cannot be mentioned in the same breath as a single Dao weapon."
Although both were medium-grade Dao weapons, the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels were several times more powerful than this Divine Shark Boat; otherwise, it wouldn't still be difficult for Fang Han to refine them now.
"Abi Demonic Qi!" Wan Lianshan's entire body trembled, thinking that Fang Han had finally unleashed the power of the Yellow Springs Diagram. Under the severe shock, the operation of the astral qi around his body paused slightly for a moment.
"Five Emperors Great Demon, Nine Ghosts Blocking the Path, Devouring Essential Qi, Cutting Time and Space, Turning the Hand into Clouds and Reversing the Hand into Rain!" What kind of figure was Fang Han? He immediately seized this sliver of an opportunity. His body was like a divine dragon moving clouds and scattering rain, seeing the head but not the tail. Roaming everywhere, he propped out his palm. The Golden Core in his hand instantly shrank to the size of a sesame seed, and the void collapsed endlessly. He flashed behind Wan Lianshan, pressing down a palm as his Golden Core abruptly expanded thousands of times, becoming as massive as a mountain, and viciously suppressed downwards.
"Bang!"
This move was the method Fang Han used to kill the seven Great God Kings. First gathering power, then abruptly expanding. Although Wan Lianshan was formidable, he could not withstand it. With a loud explosion, a series of chaotic ripples formed around him. As the ripples dispersed, Wan Lianshan was completely blasted flying. The Dao weapons on his body were forcibly beaten back into his body. He violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, no longer possessing the demeanor of the fourth-ranked figure on the Longevity Reserve List.
His essential qi had already been blasted apart.
He was beaten just like Xue Wuyang, lying on the arena like a dead dog. He did not possess the ability of Fang Han's half Undying Body.
"Wan Lianshan, you were not defeated unjustly. Did you think you could take advantage of me with your abilities? Even if I am about to face the Wind and Fire Great Calamity, you are not my match. Having devoured decades of your bitter cultivation in the Tidal Giant Whale Palm astral qi this time, this can be considered giving you a taste of my ferocity. I will not kill you or make you reincarnate; I am only teaching you what the Immortal Path is. The Immortal Path is force; only the one with force prevails."
Fang Han walked sluggishly to Wan Lianshan's side, crouched down, and patted his cheek with his palm, "Force is not merely strength. You said I resemble a nouveau riche in the secular world, unlike someone of the Immortal Path. That proves you fundamentally do not understand the Immortal Path. The secular world is precisely the Immortal Path; you simply do not understand. Alright, get down!"
"Fang Han, you are ruthless! Sooner or later, I will step into the Longevity Realm and battle you to avenge today's grudge." Wan Lianshan said fiercely.
"I will be waiting, but I am afraid that before you even reach the Longevity Realm, I will have already killed several Eternal Giants." As Fang Han spoke, he cast a glance at Taoist Dragon and Taoist Wooden. His tone was sinister and grim, causing Wan Lianshan to shudder. He forcefully leaped up and staggered, tumbling off the arena.
This competition truly broadened the horizons of everyone present, including the Eternal Giants.
The most spectacular scene was Fang Han's form being blasted apart and reorganizing anew, displaying the capability of half an Undying Body. That truly shocked everyone.
To be able to reorganize one's physical body in the Divine Power Realm was unprecedented; they hadn't even heard of it. All of a sudden, every word and every action of Fang Han's became mysterious in the eyes of many. Even his previous methods of giving away supreme-grade treasure artifacts and teasing Taoist Dragon, Taoist Wooden, and the Eternal Giants seemed to contain profound underlying meaning.
For a moment, after Fang Han defeated Wan Lianshan, unexpectedly none of the outstanding talents among the Immortal and Demonic paths flew up to the arena to challenge him.
"What, with so many experts in the Immortal and Demonic paths, is there actually no one coming to challenge me? Since there is no one, then I shall receive the teaching of Immortal Venerable Linglong's three supreme divine powers. Ancestral Zuma God Qi, Great Pudu Zen Light, Great Mount Sumeru King Fist; I request Immortal Venerable Linglong to lower them."
Fang Han stood on the arena, sweeping a glance around, and then spoke to the lofty Immortal Venerable Linglong.
"Fang Han, from the Heaven Communication Sword Sect, I, Jiao Fei, will come and see how your methods are!" Clang! A streak of sword light shot straight into the sky. The ray of light directly connected to the horizon, piercing through the dark obscurity of heaven and earth like a heavenly pillar. As this sword light flickered, writhing like a dragon and snake, it forcefully approached the arena. After standing steady, a man with trim eyebrows, starry eyes, and fluttering clothes appeared. With a precious sword on his back, he stood with his hands clasped behind him. It was precisely Jiao Fei, ranked fifth on the Longevity Reserve List. The first true passed-down disciple of the Heaven Communication Sword Sect.
"You rank fifth on the Longevity Reserve List, seemingly one place lower than Wan Lianshan, and Wan Lianshan was defeated by me. Are you not afraid of suffering a crushing defeat?" Fang Han rubbed his fingers together.
"Although Wan Lianshan is formidable, in a fight against me, he can also do nothing to me. Moreover, I originally intended to battle him this time, to make his fourth place position move back a bit. Furthermore, I have basically seen through your strength; you cannot use the Yellow Springs Diagram. It seems to be suppressing some treasure or another. And your Wind and Fire Great Calamity is indeed brewing within the inner core of your Golden Core. Although you are formidable, I can say with certainty that if we cross hands, I have absolute confidence in making you suffer a crushing defeat. Moreover, I can trigger the Wind and Fire Great Calamity in the inner core of your Golden Core, turning you to ashes. You yourself should also know perfectly well in your heart that fighting Wan Lianshan, you are almost unable to suppress the Wind and Fire Great Calamity any longer."
As Jiao Fei spoke, his tone carried an incomparably powerful self-confidence. This was a necessary method for a sword cultivator; the Dao of a sword cultivator was to move forward invincibly and slay anyone blocking their path forward.
Moreover, his insight was extremely brilliant, seemingly even more formidable than Wan Lianshan's. However, having gone through the battle between Wan Lianshan and Fang Han and observing for a long time, it wasn't unusual for him to be able to see these things.
His tone exuded powerful confidence, demonstrating that he could absolutely defeat Fang Han, and his essential qi and spirit were highly condensed, seemingly reaching a strictly optimal state.
This was also a technique within the Dao of the Sword, planting the conviction of guaranteed victory thousands of times.
"Nonsense, I detest people who simply wag their tongues the most. Get the hell down." As Fang Han listened, his expression suddenly changed. A cold, frosty chill abruptly arose, and snowflakes unexpectedly began to fall from the sky. The entire arena spanning three thousand feet instantly froze into a massive block of ice. Caught completely off guard, Jiao Fei was unexpectedly frozen within it.
Fang Han possessed a divine power called the Ice and Snow Boundary.
Furthermore, his Water Sovereign Astral Qi was the sovereign of all waters. Combined with the Ice and Snow Boundary, it immediately created a domain of ice, freezing everything in all four directions. It was even more formidable than Hua Tiandu's divine power, the Heavenly Cold Mysterious Nether Energy.
"Mere cold ice can freeze me? Fang Han, you are too naive. Since you display superiority in front of me, I shall completely trigger your Wind and Fire Great Calamity. Do not blame me for being merciless; you brought this upon yourself." Being frozen by ice and snow, Jiao Fei did not show the slightest panic. With a slight movement, a sharp sword qi emanated from his body. Under the illumination of the intense sword light, the cold ice shattered one after another. Forming his left hand's fingers into a sword, he slashed virtually toward Fang Han.
Puff, above Fang Han's head, a stream of sword qi appeared out of thin air, completely silent and without a trace. It surprisingly had an effect remarkably similar to the Formless Sword, slashing downwards and smashing all obstacles like splitting bamboo.
Yet Fang Han unexpectedly felt absolutely no sword qi impending over his head.
Heart Demon Great Curse Sword.
The Dao of the Sword of the Heaven Communication Sword Sect utilized the five realms of Heart, Spirit, Mind, Void, and Emptiness to control the sword, vastly different from general sword sects that used Qi to control the sword. Its wondrousness was extraordinary, not beneath the two great ancient sword cultivation Giants, the Formless Sword Sect and the Lifeless Sword Sect.
Jiao Fei was a great master of sword cultivation. Having already cultivated the Dao of the Void Sword, he could swing it at will, transforming between reality and void. Evolving into flowing light and phantoms, he could also create an illusion resembling a mirage, trapping people within it. Illusions arose in swarms, the heart demons underwent extinction, and he killed without needing to actively use a sword.
Legend had it that Jiao Fei's most formidable technique was the Heart Demon Great Curse Sword. That meant the sword would not be stained with blood; once a sword was launched, the opponent's heart demons would arise in swarms, ultimately dying under their own heart demons rather than by Jiao Fei's sword.
Legend had it that all his life, Jiao Fei had killed countless people, but his flying sword had never been stained with fresh blood. However, this Heart Demon Great Curse Sword was not a sword technique of the Heaven Communication Sword Sect.
