Fang Han had ninety-three types of magic, among which were the Three Thousand Great Daos: "Great Cutting Technique", "Great Five Elements Technique", "Great Origin Technique", "Great Purgation Technique", "Great Devouring Technique"… These profoundly unfathomable Great Dao laws, as well as the "Zuma Ancient Divine Qi", "Great Sumeru Mountain King Fist", "Limitless Book of Many Stars", "Immortal Slaughtering Great Magic"… These profoundly unfathomable supreme magics were far more numerous compared to Daoist Wood's sixty-four types of magic.
Precisely because of this, refining the Golden Core and cultivating the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol was exceptionally difficult.
The true source of the Panwu Great Power Magic was the "Great Origin Technique".
Merely refining the physical essence of Daoist Wood was not enough to condense a powerful Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol. Furthermore, a large portion of Daoist Wood's physical essence qi had been taken by him to nourish his own body.
To condense it into a Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, he had to refine Daoist Wood's natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, which was the Primal Spirit in the shape of the Suoluo Tree right before his eyes. By forcibly plundering the essence within it, he could immediately achieve the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, and even rush into the tenth level of the Magic Realm, the realm of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, with tyrannical power.
"As long as I reach the tenth level of the Magic Realm, the realm of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, hehe! Then I will swallow the Seven Lives Mysterious Gate Pill taken from the Seven Great God Kings whole! The Longevity Realm is just around the corner! It might not even be the first level of the Longevity Realm, the Myriad Life Realm, but the second level, the Undying Body!" Fang Han knew that he had to accumulate vastly now, waiting for the moment he stepped into the Longevity Realm to directly cultivate the Undying Body.
"Fang Han, you are so ruthless! You are ruthless! I hate it! My cultivation of the ages has vanished into thin air! The path to longevity is severed right here! Fang Han, I am irreconcilable with you. I will curse you for all lifetimes. I curse you to never achieve longevity."
Once Daoist Wood's blood-colored halo was devoured, he knew he had encountered a fatal disaster. Although it was impossible to be completely refined by Fang Han right now, if this continued, as one ebbed and the other flowed, he would eventually be unable to escape his doom one day.
"Hmph! When you tried to kill me, you actually wanted to refine tens of millions of living beings within a thousand miles. Your ways seem even more cruel and vicious. You are more demonic than the demonic path. Falling into my hands this time is karmic retribution, without the slightest error." Fang Han laughed loudly: "Moreover, do you think that by learning the Great Curse Technique among the Three Thousand Great Daos, you can directly curse me to death? You are irreconcilable with me for all lifetimes, but now that you have fallen into my hands, sooner or later your form and spirit will be completely destroyed. There will be no next lifetime. In the whole world, there will no longer be this Daoist Wood."
Although Fang Han's methods were ruthless, he had never entertained the thought of refining tens of millions of commoners within a thousand miles just to kill one person. Compared to Daoist Wood, he felt he was very kind, so as he accused Daoist Wood now, he was full of righteous indignation and felt completely justified. He was truly worthy of being a disciple from the orthodox Yuhua Sect.
"Fang Han, by plundering by force and trickery like this, you truly have no hope of stepping onto the path of longevity. The gates of the Longevity Realm have closed to you! I curse you, for all lifetimes, I curse you!"
Daoist Wood continued to issue mournful curses.
"Hmph, I cannot step into the Longevity Realm? Look at what kind of pill this is! As soon as I cultivate to the tenth level of the Magic Realm, the realm of Defying Heaven and Changing Fate, I will swallow it down. Do you think the chances of stepping into the Longevity Realm are high or not? In this world, curses are useless. What is useful is material substance."
In order to deliberately strike Daoist Wood and crush his mind, Fang Han waved his hand, and the Seven Lives Mysterious Gate Pill flew out, emitting a seven-colored glow. The medicinal qi of each pill condensed into a profoundly mysterious portal, generating a powerful spirituality.
"The Seven Lives Mysterious Gate Pill, how can you have such a thing! This is already almost an immortal pill. And there are seven of them, which is even more precious than an immortal pill. They are the key pills to open the seven life gates of the body and step into the Longevity Realm. This… I am not resigned. Why do you have such good luck."
As expected, after seeing the Seven Lives Mysterious Gate Pill, Daoist Wood's Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol trembled violently, his mind in complete chaos.
"Great opportunity!"
At the moment Daoist Wood's mind was in chaos, thousands of root systems suddenly seeped out from between Fang Han's eyebrows. These were the roots of the World Tree, which shot deeply into Daoist Wood's natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, then pierced into it, beginning to absorb qi.
With this strike, Daoist Wood's natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol grew much weaker again, and its shaking power diminished. Yan felt a wave of relief all over his body and pushed the power of the Gate of Avici and the Bridge of Helplessness to suppress from above, oppressing Daoist Wood's Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol once more.
That "Suoluo Tree Primal Spirit" was actually suppressed until it was only a few tens of feet high.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Daoist Wood seemed to be bitten by millions of mosquitoes and insects, letting out boundlessly painful roars. The Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol underwent a series of changes, but unfortunately, it was bound to death and simply could not self-destruct!
"Fang Han, what kind of wood-attribute sacred object is this! It can actually suppress my wood-attribute qi! You must know, I am a giant among wood. All wood must follow my command. Even your Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Skill, when its mastery is shallow, will be suppressed by me!" Daoist Wood shouted, letting out heavy pants: "If you don't tell me what this wood-attribute sacred object is, even if I die, I won't be resigned!"
"There is no harm in telling you. Anyway, you are a dying person. Perhaps you have also heard of it. In the Xuanhuang Great World, during ancient times, there was a World Tree that pierced through the Immortal Realm, also known as Jianmu!" Fang Han flew out the World Tree from between his eyebrows, making it stand tall in the air: "Is the origin of this tree not stronger than yours? Can you refine it? It is the source of all wood-attribute origins, and also your nemesis. Meeting it, your lifespan has also come to an end."
"The World Tree! It's actually the World Tree! This tree was cut down and smashed to pieces by the God Race long ago, how can there still be a sapling? It is actually a legend from myths, displaying right before my eyes! It turns out the legends are true. How could you possibly possess the sapling? No wonder you can suppress my origin. Without this tree, your head would have been shattered long ago. You are not my opponent. What a pity, how hateful! If I obtained this tree sapling and merged the two as one, my magic power would surge wildly! My Undying Body would be perfected in an instant, and I could even advance to a realm of unimaginable cultivation!"
It was a hundred times more shocking than seeing the Seven Lives Mysterious Gate Pill. Daoist Wood never could have imagined that Fang Han would actually possess something as heaven-defying as the World Tree sapling.
This was a magic treasure that all wood demons dreamed of.
"Now you can die knowing clearly. Do not waste your strength. Give up resisting yourself, and I will let you die comfortably. I might even preserve a sliver of your soul memory. In the future, when my Eight Divisions Pagoda is forged, it will claim to be its own heaven and earth inside. I will let you reincarnate and be reborn as a human within it." Seeing Daoist Wood's mental defenses collapse, Fang Han was very happy in his heart. He increased the absorbing power of the World Tree, forcibly plundering streams of qi from it and pouring them into the Golden Core.
On the Golden Core, the thousands of arms and thousands of eyes, resembling the natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol of an immemorial demon god, became even more clearly visible.
"Fang Han, Fang Han! Do not kill me! I will completely submit to you. How about I completely submit to you! Although the power of your Eight Divisions Pagoda is great, it is full of flaws everywhere. The pagoda body is not condensed. If I were at my peak, I would have a hundred ways to destroy it. Now, if you let me go, I will enter the pagoda body and temper magic treasures for you. I am a Supreme Giant of the Longevity Realm, capable of forging low-grade Dao artifacts. Think about it, if the eight magic treasures inside your Eight Divisions Pagoda body all became low-grade Dao artifacts, how much would its power increase? Ten times? A hundred times? Moreover, I can draw upon immortal realm qi to feed the heavenly demons. You keep so many heavenly demons; I don't know how much qi and pills are consumed every day. It's definitely not enough. Furthermore, after you cultivate your natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, you will need more magic power to drive it. Although the World Tree can draw upon immortal realm qi, it's not enough for your usage. With me, all my immortal realm qi will be supplied to you. From now on, you will not have to worry about lacking qi!"
Daoist Wood hurriedly roared.
In his tone, there was actually a trace of pleading.
To think that a Supreme Giant would actually start pleading. One must know that Supreme Giants were existences with a strong self-centeredness. Even if Fang Han completely suppressed him, he initially cursed intensely. But as soon as the World Tree appeared, he yielded.
"Oh? You will contribute all the immortal realm qi you draw every day to me?" Hearing this, Fang Han was truly somewhat moved and thought for a moment, "Will you not cultivate yourself?"
"No cultivation, no cultivation. I just need a tiny bit of qi to preserve my life. Merely protecting my life is enough. The rest of the qi, everything, will be contributed to you. I can do hard labor for you for three to five hundred years. Then, when your cultivation is successful and you can completely suppress me, I hope you will give me a way to live."
Daoist Wood hastily said.
"This proposal is really tempting. By accepting this person into the Eight Divisions Pagoda, you can draw a massive amount of immortal realm qi every day to feed the heavenly demons, and also help contribute magic power to you, Fang Han. More importantly, this person can refine the immortal realm qi into pure yang! Fang Han, accepting him is equivalent to possessing a Supreme Giant of the Longevity Realm to do hard labor for you. This is much more cost-effective than refining him."
Yan was also moved.
Indeed, having a Supreme Giant of the Longevity Realm do hard labor was simply an opportunity that could be encountered but not sought.
"This is indeed not bad. However, I do not have enough power to subdue this person. If he plays any tricks, I wouldn't be able to easily deal with him." Fang Han pondered.
"Just use the Great Purgation Zen Light to convert him, making him hold pious faith." The Wheel-Turning Holy King, which the Blood Night King had transformed into, suddenly said: "Although under normal circumstances, the Great Purgation Zen Light fundamentally cannot convert a Supreme Giant of the Longevity Realm, as long as this Daoist Wood is entirely sincere, opens up his mind, and fully cooperates, it is still possible. It all depends on whether he is willing or not. We can also use this to test if he harbors evil intentions. If we cannot convert him, then he is harboring evil intentions. If he can be converted, then he has wholeheartedly submitted to us."
"Not bad, that's exactly what I was thinking." Fang Han chuckled: "Daoist Wood, did you hear that? I am giving you one last chance. I know you agreed to do hard labor for me because you want a chance to stage a comeback. And you are scheming to obtain my World Tree. But now, you must abandon all those thoughts to have a way out. Otherwise, under the illumination of the Great Purgation Zen Light, you won't be converted. Then you're finished, completely finished, do you understand?"
