A patch of the void above Daoist Hentian's head was actually ripped open by him using his formidable Dharmic power to create a hole.
Inside that hole, there seemed to be another world, pitch black and sunless. But deep within the darkness, countless bizarre creatures were brewing, as if born from chaos, seeking to rule the entire universe.
"Oh no, this God Emperor Hentian is utilizing godly force, using supreme divine sense to pry open the Illusory God World and borrow the supreme godly force within. Like this, his power will be endless. Supported by a great world, he will be invincible." Seeing this situation, Yan Shuiyi grew pale with fright and quickly communicated with Fang Han.
"You also know of the Illusory God World?"
"Of course, everything about the God Race is in many records of my Taiyi Sect. I have had the fortune to read them."
"Will you tell the Taiyi Sect about the God Race's appearance this time?"
"Presumably your Ascension Sect already knows about this matter. The God Race's invasion is the greatest tribulation for the three paths of Immortals, Devils, and Demons in our Xuanhuang Great World. If any sect makes preparations and plans early, they will definitely gain a huge advantage. You certainly don't want me to tell the Taiyi Sect about this, but as long as you give me enough benefits, I can also choose not to say anything."
"Killing this God Emperor Hentian will yield infinite benefits. However, I must give you some benefits first. I will pass the four cleansed true god seeds and the God King vital energy to you, so you can know the benefits of a half Undying Body. Hand you can give me a few Taiqing Jade Liquid Great Restoration Pills."
"Alright, we will connect our Dharmic power and wait for an opportunity. We will assist the Human Emperor Pen in killing God Emperor Hentian!"
In a split second, Fang Han and Yan Shuiyi reached an agreement.
The World Tree at Fang Han's glabella trembled, and two Divine Ability Fruits containing true god seeds were poured down. They transformed into vital energy and forcefully blasted into Yan Shuiyi's body.
Meanwhile, Yan Shuiyi crushed four Taiqing Jade Liquid Great Restoration Pills into vital energy and infused them into Fang Han's body. The pure and majestic vital energy, along with an enduring, eternal aura unique to the immortal path, restored the lifespan and blood energy that Fang Han had lost from executing the "Slaughter Immortal Great Art."
Taiqing Jade Liquid Great Restoration Pill!
A pill refined by the Taiyi Sect using the supreme immortal artifact, the Eternal Divine Furnace.
Every single pill could increase one's lifespan by a thousand years, vastly replenish vital energy, and even carried the aura of the immortal artifact, the "Eternal Divine Furnace." After consumption, the benefits were unimaginably numerous.
The moment Fang Han swallowed it, waves of pure and ethereal energy suddenly rose within the sea of consciousness in his mind, floating like immortal energy. The nine great seas of consciousness, under the brewing of this ethereal energy, seemed to become even firmer and more stable. When circulating Dharmic power, an extra sense of imperishability and eternity was added.
After replenishing his lost lifespan and solidifying his sea of consciousness, the excess medicinal power rapidly rushed into the golden core. The phantom above the great golden core, which possessed ninety-three types of divine abilities, became increasingly clear and distinct.
The Thousand-Handed, Thousand-Eyed demon god existing in the void actually let out sounds. Its thousand hands waved about, forming different seal incantations. Each seal incantation emitted something akin to Buddhist Zen chants! Sanskrit voices. Grand, vast, pure, and filled with a compassionate state of mind for ferrying people across the sea of suffering.
However, its thousand eyes were completely different.
Whenever an eye opened, it emitted the wailing sounds of billions of devils. All sorts of pain, cruelty, cunning, viciousness, violence, sorrow… emanated from the eyes. Each eye contained a kind of demonic nature. Gathering a thousand types of demonic nature, it was simply like the existence of the ancestor of all devils, the devil of devils.
A thousand hands represented a thousand types of compassion.
A thousand eyes represented a thousand types of demonic nature.
It possessed both the great compassion to ferry the living beings of heaven and earth, and the great destructiveness to annihilate heaven and earth.
Buddha nature and devil nature were vividly displayed on Fang Han's golden core phantom, yet they blended incomparably well, representing one yin and one yang, the two sides of human nature.
It was impossible to imagine just to what level of power this Heavenly and Earthly Dharma Form of Fang Han's would reach once it was fully refined.
However, the power of the four Taiqing Jade Liquid Great Restoration Pills raised Fang Han's lifespan to nine thousand nine hundred and ninety years again, but the medicinal power still wasn't enough to make the golden core evolve into the ninth tier of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heavenly and Earthly Dharma Form realm!
Yan Shuiyi had nine Taiqing Jade Liquid Great Restoration Pills. Handing four of them to Fang Han to make up for his losses and further enhance the power of his golden core could not make him evolve.
Of course, Yan Shuiyi also only received two true god seeds from Fang Han and the source life essence of two God Kings.
When the true god seeds rushed into her body, she felt every inch of vital energy and every piece of flesh and blood within her body begin to experience a sensation of condensation and vaporization, as if she was about to instantly ascend on the spot, dispersing into vital energy and transforming into billions of existences.
This was a partial sign recorded in Daoist texts marking the impending cultivation of the Undying Body.
Yan Shuiyi was overjoyed and once again circulated her divine abilities, but the true god seeds had already been refined, and the God Kings' essence energy had all been digested. She was still a bit short of the evolution, yet the supply had completely run out.
"It indeed works."
"Your Taiqing Jade Liquid Great Restoration Pills also work."
The two simultaneously sent out a mental message, and upon exchanging thoughts, they exchanged smiles.
In this transaction, both felt that the other had not deceived them, and both had obtained tremendous benefits. Through this transaction, their cooperation had gained a further level of trust.
Rumble!
The moment Fang Han and Yan Shuiyi connected their Dharmic power, exchanging half the true god seeds for the Taiqing Jade Liquid Great Restoration Pills, the surrounding space trembled violently. Waves of space storms swept across the scene. That Daoist Hentian forcefully opened a channel between himself and the Illusory God World, absorbing the endless aura of the Illusory God World. His body began to expand. His purple-gold Daoist robes tore open first, and even the flesh and skin underneath were stretched until they directly split apart, revealing purple-gold bones from within the flesh.
He expanded to a full height of three hundred and sixty zhang. Like a primordial giant, his head possessed a total of three faces. One face was ferocious, one face was dangerous, and the last face was high and mighty, completely devoid of any expression, ruling and operating all things just like the Heavenly Dao.
His entire body was made of purple-gold bone structure.
He also had three arms, one on each side, and surprisingly, one grew right out of his chest. Each hand had exactly nine fingers, and each finger was the length of several men, utterly terrifying.
Fang Han suddenly recalled that the Heaven-Shrouding Devil Hand also had nine fingers.
Perhaps the giant figure of the Devil path who created the Heaven-Shrouding Devil Art had participated in the war against the God Race, and after seeing the hands of the God Race, created this supreme divine ability that implicitly contained the principles of the Great Dao.
God Emperor Hentian's legs were also not the usual two legs of a human, but three legs! Each branched out, forming a triangular tripod, standing in the void. He was incomparably stable, as if no one could ever push him over.
Three faces.
Three arms.
Three legs.
This was God Emperor Hentian's true life form, the physical body of the God Race.
Three faces, three arms, three legs, represented a more special meaning. It seemed to embody the concept of "three gives birth to all things."
The majestic god aura radiating from his body was ten times more powerful than Fang Han's Great Cutting Technique, shredding the surrounding void to pieces.
All three of his faces spoke: "You must all die. Human Emperor Pen, you are no longer an immortal artifact, you no longer have the power of the ancient times."
"God Emperor Hentian? It seems you have not completely comprehended the rules of space. A tiny God Emperor like you, I do not know how many I have killed in the past. Even the God Kings of your God Race who comprehended the Dao of Life and Death were eternally wiped out by me. Tiny God Emperor, today I will let you thoroughly know why I can make all the members of your God Race fear me."
The artifact spirit of the Human Emperor Pen let out an even more majestic voice. The tiny crystal pen, in the eyes of the hundred-zhang-tall God Emperor Hentian, could not even be considered a speck of dust, yet it gave God Emperor Hentian an unparalleled sense of oppression.
The tiny crystal pen, writing casually, manifested the laws of the Great Dao. Swinging casually, it demonstrated supreme principles.
While sending out a formidable divine sense, the Human Emperor Pen swung like a divine dragon's tail. In the void, it had already written out talisman after talisman. These talismans glittered like the stars in the sky. Amidst their flashing, they actually transformed into one Daoist after another. Each Daoist wore tall hats and strange garments, extremely ancient, pacing the Big Dipper steps and opening the gateways to certain mysterious spaces.
In the universe, there are endless mysterious worlds. The Immortal World, the Illusory God World, the Buddha World… Some supreme divine abilities use one's own divine sense to communicate with these worlds, drawing out the power within to replenish oneself as a means to fight enemies.
The talismans written by the Human Emperor Pen transformed into one Daoist after another. As each Daoist paced the Big Dipper steps, they shockingly opened a mysterious world! Drawing hundreds and thousands of different auras from them, it seemed as if heaven and earth were being recreated.
"So many worlds, drawing power from so many worlds. What realm is this? What Daoist technique?"
Fang Han and Yan Shuiyi both watched, dumbfounded. They genuinely felt that the Human Emperor Pen had subverted their imagination. This realm of cultivation was not something the two of them could comprehend.
"Too powerful! Such a realm, such power, we absolutely cannot intervene. The Human Emperor Pen and God Emperor Hentian are about to clash out right here. I must hurry, let us hide inside the Yellow Spring Diagram. We will likely be unable to withstand the shockwaves from their clash. The Yellow Spring Diagram is a peerless Dao Artifact with superb quality. Their shockwaves will not be able to harm us."
Seeing the situation, Fang Han pulled Yan Shuiyi into the Yellow Spring Diagram without a second thought.
Instantly, the Yellow Spring Diagram transformed into a painting, floating amidst the boundless space storms and purgatory sea of fire.
The Human Emperor Pen and God Emperor Hentian dueled within the purgatory molten lava sea hundreds of thousands of zhang underground, while Fang Han and Yan Shuiyi hid in the Yellow Spring Diagram, doing their utmost to avoid the shockwaves of the clash between these two great experts, while also wanting to seize the opportunity to sneak attack and kill God Emperor Hentian.
Right as Fang Han and Yan Shuiyi hid inside the Yellow Spring Diagram, God Emperor Hentian made his move. His body lunged violently forward, his three legs stepping continuously in the void. He thrust out his palms, reaching to capture the Human Emperor Pen. Blotting out the sky and covering the sun, he grabbed repeatedly, conjuring up a full hundred million palm prints.
Fang Han's Yellow Spring Diagram felt a sudden tightening; it was actually seized by the palm prints conjured by God Emperor Hentian and dragged toward a secretive space.
"Not good, this God Emperor Hentian actually targeted us too. He wants to drag us into the Illusory God World."
Fang Han immediately knew God Emperor Hentian's intention.
