After Daoist Wood's origin energy was devoured by Fang Han, he was not only unsurprised, but instead revealed an expression of a successful scheme. The origin energy that Fang Han had swallowed down suddenly swelled, actually transforming into seeds one by one. Then they began to take root and sprout, reverse-absorbing the thick Wood Sovereign astral qi within Fang Han's body.
In the blink of an eye, the Wood Sovereign astral qi within Fang Han's body was siphoned so much that it stirred restlessly, and the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art showed signs of collapsing.
Although Fang Han's Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art suppressed all woods in the world, the difference in realm between him and Daoist Wood was too great. Furthermore, the opponent was a wood attribute demon, a Sal Tree Giant. He possessed a profound comprehension of the wood attribute's origin.
"What thick Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art, hahahaha! Having absorbed this divine ability of yours, I will surely successfully cultivate an Undying Body. You, a mere expert in the Divine Ability Secret Realm, want to fight with me, a Giant of Ages. Even if my strength is vastly damaged, I am not someone you can contend against." Using his origin energy, Daoist Wood contacted the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign astral qi within Fang Han's body, so joyful that he almost roared. This kind of astral qi was simply a far greater nourishment to him than any spiritual medicine in the world.
"World Tree! Suppress all woods, subjugate the heavens. Reverse absorb!" Fang Han remained unpanicked in the face of danger. With a stir of his intent, his massive Wood Sovereign astral qi immediately combined with the spiritual qi of the World Tree. Boom! The World Tree between his brows stretched out its highly developed root system, unexpectedly permeating into every inch of his meridians and every inch of his flesh and blood.
With just a single rotation, the root system of the World Tree touched the wood attribute origin energy that Daoist Wood had mutated within Fang Han's body. As if cotton absorbing water, all of that wood attribute origin energy pitched into the World Tree, and then was slowly transformed into pure wood attribute origin energy, which was injected back into Fang Han's Wood Sovereign Art.
In an instant, all the foreign origin energy within Fang Han's body was completely extracted and dissolved, becoming a heavily nourishing origin energy that made his Golden Core's inner nucleus even more stable and even more inconceivable.
"Daoist Wood's origin energy is truly unimaginably thick. I guessed correctly indeed; your wood attribute origin will be suppressed by the World Tree. Suck, I will fiercely suck."
His scheme successful, Fang Han did not hesitate any longer. He charged into Daoist Wood's vicinity. His Golden Core shrank and then expanded, wildly firing out ninety-three types of divine abilities, cutting the origin energy into fragmented pieces. Following that, the Great Devouring Technique valiantly swallowed Daoist Wood's life-bound origin energy, dissolved it, and delivered it into the Golden Core.
The entire Golden Core radiated an incomparably dazzling and brilliant light.
Within the light of the Golden Core, the shadow of an origin spirit flickered faintly, like a ghost or god originating from the dark void.
The might of the Golden Core was even greater.
"What wood attribute sacred object is that, to be so formidable! It can actually dissolve my origin energy. How is this possible? My Seed Seeding Great Magic has undergone seven to eight thousand years of bitter cultivation to reach this stage today. Any wood attribute magical artifact should all be subdued by me. How can there be something able to dissolve my origin energy? Impossible, this is impossible!"
Under Fang Han's continuous onslaught, Daoist Wood's life-bound origin spirit not only failed to suppress the Yellow Springs Diagram, but was instead continuously weakened. A massive amount of his essence qi flowed away, all sucked out by Fang Han.
If he were at his peak, he wouldn't be afraid, but now, having been injured by inner demons, it could be described as suffering continuous rain while the roof was leaking.
After a few rounds of contact, Fang Han grew increasingly robust. The light of his Golden Core became brilliant, and the faint, indistinct phantom atop it gave off the oppressive feeling of ghosts and gods.
Daoist Wood knew that this was the sign of Fang Han's Golden Core having extracted enough origin energy, entering a transformation to condense Heaven and Earth Morphologies. If the battle continued, he himself would become weaker and weaker, while Fang Han would grow stronger and stronger. In a flash, generating Heaven and Earth Morphologies and entering the ninth level of the Divine Ability Realm, Fang Han's strength would surge again, and he himself would truly face the true danger of falling.
"Daoist Dragon, let's go!"
Daoist Wood roared continuously, his voice shaking. His Heaven and Earth Morphology suddenly shrank, becoming highly condensed, as he ceaselessly urged his power and magic power. After that, from his magical artifact pouch, he continuously shot out medicinal pills and magical crystal jade stones to replenish his continuously consumed magic power.
"Fang Han, kill him! You completely counter him! We're going to slay a Giant of Ages!"
At the moment Daoist Wood contracted his power, Yan's body shook. His thousand-meter-long body let out a dragon's roar that could be heard in the nine heavens. Demonic clouds surged abruptly as he broke free from the restraint of Daoist Wood's Heaven and Earth Morphology. While retreating continuously, he shook the Bridge of Helplessness open. From the bridge, wave after wave of the demonic sound of 'helplessness, helplessness' rushed toward Fang Han.
"Daoist Wood, you leave first! I cannot free myself. Damn it, if I had a mid-grade Dao artifact, I could completely break out. With my strength at its peak, I could also break out. Right now it's a dragon swimming in shallows becoming the plaything of shrimps, a tiger descending to the plains being bullied by dogs!"
At this time, Daoist Dragon was already completely entangled by the three major artifact spirits on the Eight Division Pagoda. Three mid-grade Dao artifacts possessed bizarrely massive might, along with the magical artifacts of millions of Heavenly Demons and a thousand Demon Kings weaving into densely packed halos of light, shrouding him loop by loop.
His physical body was not an Undying Body, nor was it as strong as Fang Han's. He was still afraid of being harmed by magical artifacts, making recovery difficult. In his urgency, he could only rely on his life-bound morphology to continuously clash and attack. However, for a time, he found it completely difficult to fight his way out.
"So formidable, to actually want to kill a Giant of Ages!"
Inside the Eight Division Pagoda, the Dark Terror King at the ninth level of the Divine Ability Realm also spoke in shock. Within it, he also utilized his magic power, fully escaping his dark origin spirit to coordinate with the three major artifact spirits, temporarily trapping Daoist Dragon and preventing him from converging with Daoist Wood.
Star Cloud Baby, also inside the Eight Division Pagoda, fully sent out the Sun Moon Five Stars Bracelet, gathering it amidst endless precious light to protect the magical artifacts of the many Heavenly Demons from being destroyed.
The forces of the Dark Terror King, Star Cloud Baby, the Wheel Turning Holy King inside the Eight Division Pagoda, and the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels were right now thoroughly suppressing Daoist Dragon, disallowing him from combining forces with Daoist Wood, letting Fang Han attack and kill Daoist Wood with his full strength.
For Fang Han to actually attempt to rely on his own strength to kill a Giant of Ages, such a crazy idea made even the Dark Terror King click his tongue. Deep inside, he felt utterly horrified by this madness: "This man Fang Han is too insane. If he succeeds in this kill, I will, I will wholeheartedly submit to him."
"Wheel Turning Holy King, Black God Pills! These Heavenly Demons have lost all power. At this time, do not be stingy with the Black God Pills!" Star Cloud Baby also roared out. Although he only knew how to sleep, he too sensed that this very moment was the crucial point.
"Alright!"
The Wheel Turning Holy King incarnated from the Blood Night King flipped his hand. Boom! Boom! Within the Eight Division Pagoda, mountain upon mountain of piled-up Black God Pills explosively shattered all of a sudden, transforming into endless pure origin energy that streamed into the millions of Heavenly Demons.
This time, almost half a year's worth of Black God Pills' food was completely converted into origin energy.
Originally, the Black God Pills could sustain those Heavenly Demons for a year's time, but now, there was no longer any room to care for so much. To lay siege and trap a Giant of Ages, the strength of the Heavenly Demons had to be limitlessly enhanced.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The origin energy of the Black God Pills was just like streaks of black dragons, all entering the bodies of the millions of Heavenly Demons. The millions of Heavenly Demons and those Demon Kings all roared wildly. Their entire bodies expanded violently, and their power increased drastically.
Another sequence of Heavenly Demons incarnated into Demon Kings, equivalent to a person of the Physical Body Realm incarnating into the Divine Ability Secret Realm. The moment they turned into Demon Kings, their power drastically increased, and the might of the magical artifacts in their hands surged again. Under the command of the Wheel Turning Holy King, they blotted out the sky and covered the earth, pressing down toward Daoist Dragon.
"Terrible! How did the power of this magical artifact increase so massively!"
Suddenly subjected to this intense pressure, the precious light around Daoist Dragon's body compressed, and his life-bound Heaven and Earth Morphology even started to hurt. A feeling of being tightly bound arose; no matter how he tried, he could not break out.
He could only utilize his spirit again to extract Immortal World origin energy to accumulate strength.
Unfortunately, he did not possess a mid-grade Dao artifact; otherwise, he could force his way out without ruining his physical body. Now, even if he forcefully fought his way out, his physical body would be destroyed, and he would need to pass through a tribulation and reincarnate. Who knew how much time and energy that would take, and it would be even more impossible to cultivate the Undying Body, plus it was incomparably dangerous.
He could only struggle bitterly!
"Fang Han, I refuse to believe how much origin energy you have to burn! Our origin energy is far thicker than yours. We are Giants of Ages, capable of absorbing Immortal World origin energy, and our longevity is everlasting! When your magic power is exhausted, I will do you to death! I will do you to death!" Seeing that Daoist Dragon was entirely unable to break out, Daoist Wood also grew anxious. Pacing a wrathful roar on one side, on the other he urged the various divine abilities he had cultivated, forming them into a massive cyan sphere that encompassed dozens of acres. It was like a cyan full moon, radiating layers upon layers of oppressive power, intending to rush out, shatter the Eight Division Pagoda, rescue Daoist Dragon, and then the two would combine forces, turn defeat into victory, kill Fang Han, and claim final victory.
"You want to do me to death? I will do you to death first!" At this moment, Fang Han held absolutely nothing back, driven completely by true fire. His five seas of consciousness revolved madly. Powered by a potent magical force without care for the cost, he stimulated his Golden Core, doing whatever it took to slay the severely weakened Daoist Wood.
"Great Meru Mountain King Fist! Great Cutting Technique! Five Emperors Great Demon! Immortal Slaughtering Great Magic! Kill kill kill kill kill kill!" Fang Han rapidly shifted forms. Suddenly, he unleashed one of the Ghost Emperor's divine abilities, the Immortal Slaughtering Great Magic.
This great magic was also a supreme divine ability. It traded one's own lifespan for a mighty burst of power. Each time it was cast, it consumed sixty years of lifespan. Thus the Ghost Emperor had used it against Fang Han in the past.
Fang Han bit down on his tongue. Rupture! His entire body's essence blood violently surged and was fiercely spat out. Instantly, ghosts wept and gods howled, a rain of blood plummeted from the sky, and from within the void, the howling and wailing of hundreds of millions of devils could faintly be heard.
Endless bloody rain shrouded Daoist Wood and also wrapped around Fang Han himself. In a trance, Fang Han faintly felt his own lifespan decreasing year by year. It transformed into a valiant power that pushed his Golden Core and all sorts of divine abilities to absolute zenith.
In the void, black flames seemed to be burning.
"Although the Immortal Slaughtering Great Magic consumes sixty years of lifespan every time it is used, I currently possess a long lifespan of over nine thousand years. I can cast it more than a hundred times! Igniting my essence blood to slaughter divinities and immortals! I refuse to believe I cannot kill you, a Daoist Wood with hugely depleted origin energy!" Through the boundless rain of blood, Fang Han strode with the pace of a dragon and the stride of a tiger, hurling forth a fist to crash down.
The sky went profoundly dark, as if collapsing under the force of his punch.
