The two upper-grade Dao artifacts, the "Great Chaos Thunder Sword" and the "Immortal Lightning Talisman," combined together, mutually nourishing each other with their origin aura power, and then produced a transformation, actually giving birth to a burst of pure World Power.
World Power is a miraculous power. It is evolved from spatial power. However, when spatial power evolves to its peak, it will derive World Power. This kind of power is only derived when the power of space circulates to its absolute limit and blends with formidable vitality. This World Power is a mysterious thing born only when it encompasses space, time, the four seasons, all living beings, origins… and other such powers.
Generally, only an expert at the level of the Taiyi Sect Master, Daoist Huntian, would possess this power.
Now it was actually displayed by two upper-grade Dao artifacts.
Of course, the World Power of these two upper-grade Dao artifacts was far less formidable than Daoist Huntian's world of one hundred and eight thousand miles. However, its quality was extraordinary. If obtained by an ordinary cultivator, the benefits would be immense.
If obtained by an ordinary Giant of the Ages, the benefits would also be inconceivably great.
Possessing "World Power" is the symbol of a peerless Dao artifact.
This didn't mean that the Great Chaos Thunder Sword and the Immortal Lightning Talisman would transform into peerless Dao artifacts with a shake of the body; that was impossible. Even by combining the two, it was impossible. However, possessing "World Power" meant that these two upper-grade Dao artifacts had the quality and opportunity to advance to peerless Dao artifacts.
That is to say, even if no one refined them, and these two upper-grade Dao artifacts became ownerless objects, they could perfect the World Power themselves and cultivate into peerless Dao artifacts on their own after millions of years.
Dao artifacts are all capable of self-growth.
For them, this was simply a tremendous opportunity. Not only did their power greatly increase, but they also gained the possibility of advancing to peerless Dao artifacts.
"How formidable! These two upper-grade Dao artifacts actually evolved World Power. We don't know when we will be able to advance to upper-grade Dao artifacts." Seeing this scene, the two artifact spirits of the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels greedily absorbed the heavenly flower crystals generated by the World Power while their faces were full of envy.
Although the power of these two middle-grade Dao artifacts was matchless, they could not compare with the Great Chaos Thunder Sword and the Immortal Lightning Talisman. To advance to upper-grade Dao artifacts, it was unknown how many years it would take, let alone peerless Dao artifacts. It would be impossible for hundreds of thousands of years.
On the other hand, the artifact spirit of the "Wheel-Turning Holy King" incarnated from the Blood Night King and the Sun and Moon Five Stars Bracelet remained impassive, silently absorbing.
Jialan, Star Cloud Baby, and the Dark Nether King were all also absorbing it, melting it into their minds, comprehending this miraculous supreme power. It was a power that could only be produced by reaching Daoist Huntian's level in the Long Life Secret Realm. Even Feng Baiyu did not have this power.
That is to say, Feng Baiyu could not refine peerless Dao artifacts.
Only experts of the Long Life Secret Realm who had generated World Power could begin to refine peerless Dao artifacts. It was precisely because Daoist Huntian had refined his own world that he could retreat intact under Immortal Venerable Linglong's Great Wish Technique, leaving only two drops of blood behind.
Of course, right now, the World Power of the Great Chaos Thunder Sword and the Immortal Lightning Talisman was pitifully weak. Just a trace, only a trace.
At a level like Daoist Huntian's, unfurling his own world could directly encompass an area of one hundred and eight thousand miles and instantly refine it all. He could even attach himself to a star and spend a few years refining the entire star.
These two upper-grade Dao artifacts lacked this ability by far.
But if they had this ability, they could even kill Feng Baiyu. Then they wouldn't be upper-grade Dao artifacts, but the Human Emperor Pen.
"It's a pity. If my Disc of Reincarnation could evolve, then I would possess massive World Power." Yan did not go to absorb the scattering World Power, but spoke coldly to itself, seeming like a lonely expert who had been silent for a long time.
Fang Han also revolved his natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, forcibly absorbing the World Power. A mood of sprouting life rippled in his heart. The natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes seemed about to break through some barrier and advance again.
He knew he had already cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of Divine Ability. As long as he went one step further, he could cultivate to the peak of the Divine Ability Secret Realm, the tenth level! The realm of "Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing."
Regarding the highest realm of Divine Ability, "Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing," Fang Han had never known exactly what it was about. Although he had learned from many experts that in the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing realm, one could clearly "see" one's own lifespan, and closely feel the withering, flourishing, rise, and fall between one's lifespan and the heaven and earth universe.
Then, breaking the relationship of withering, flourishing, rise, and fall between oneself and the heaven and earth universe is going against the heavens.
This realm is extremely profound.
Just as he was doing his utmost to comprehend the tenth level of Divine Ability, the "Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing" realm, Fang Qingxue beside him suddenly trembled. Fang Han felt that the other party's connection with the heaven and earth universe seemed to have grown much closer. Her whole person was like a fish in water, possessing a flavor of blending into heaven and earth, a slippery flavor, a flavor of perfect harmony and seamlessness appeared on Fang Qingxue's body.
It turned out that by witnessing the two upper-grade Dao artifacts entangling and absorbing the World Power of the two upper-grade Dao artifacts advancing, Fang Qingxue had actually stepped into the tenth level of Divine Ability, the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing realm, one step before Fang Han.
"Truly profound! Now I am only one step away from the Long Life Secret Realm. Unfortunately, this step is also the most crucial step. Out of millions upon millions of cultivators in the world, ninety-nine percent are stuck at this juncture, directly exhausting their lifespans and dying because they cannot withstand the withering and flourishing of heaven and earth." Having forcefully broken into the tenth level of Divine Ability, the "Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing" realm, Fang Qingxue suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Congratulations to senior sister, felicitations to senior sister. To actually break through to the tenth level of Divine Ability, the Heaven-Defying Fate-Changing realm. Cultivating to the Long Life Secret Realm is just around the corner. After becoming a Giant of the Ages, just don't compete with me for the position of Supreme Sect Master." Fang Han immediately congratulated.
"A Giant of the Ages, the Long Life Secret Realm, where is there such an easy thing. This realm is a thousand times more difficult than the preceding ten levels of Divine Ability. My current lifespan is exactly twenty years, nine months, and fifteen days. I truly don't know if I can cultivate to the Long Life Secret Realm within these twenty years of time. Twenty years of time is far from enough. Moreover, even if I cultivate to become a Giant of the Ages, I probably wouldn't be able to defeat you. I would also be defeated by you, how could I compete with you for the position of Supreme Sect Master. You should know, seven days from now, you are going to slay a Giant of the Ages."
Fang Qingxue shook her head.
She naturally understood how terrifying Fang Han's Heaven and Earth Dharma Form with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes, combining Buddha and Demon, was. Even if she cultivated into a Giant of the Ages, she would not be his opponent.
Looking at how Fang Han had now subdued Mu Daoren and was going to challenge Ruyizi, one could tell.
"What? You only have over twenty years of lifespan left? How is this possible? Senior sister formed a Golden Core and has twenty-four kinds of divine abilities, you should have at least three to five thousand years of lifespan. How did it suddenly become only twenty years!"
Fang Han said in shock. He knew that Fang Qingxue's lifespan should be very long; why was it only twenty years now?
Only twenty years of time!
This was simply much shorter than an ordinary person.
What was going on with Fang Qingxue?
Fang Han saw that Fang Qingxue's spirit was extremely strong, and her whole body's essence, energy, and spirit were at the peak after reaching full bloom! She didn't look like someone with only twenty years of lifespan left at all.
This was a bolt from the blue, shaking Fang Han's head until it buzzed.
"It's nothing much. While cultivating deep in the time and space of the Yuhua Heavenly Palace, I discarded the essence of a few thousand years of lifespan in exchange for nine supreme divine abilities, which is why my realm elevated so quickly. I am also putting all my eggs in one basket."
As Fang Qingxue spoke, there wasn't the slightest bit of regret, treating her own lifespan as nothing.
"Discarding the essence of a few thousand years of lifespan to cultivate nine supreme divine abilities. Is there such a cultivation method to exchange lifespan for divine abilities?" Fang Han frowned: "Why have I never heard of it?"
"Cultivating divine abilities requires powerful essence and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As long as one gathers enough spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and then uses a secret method to burn one's lifespan, one can condense the divine ability into shape in an instant." Fang Qingxue said: "This is an immemorial secret method called the Little Destiny Technique. I obtained it by chance during a journey. Neither the Immortal nor Demonic paths have this method. Do you want to learn it? I can impart this Little Destiny Technique to you. But it's best if you don't go and try it. One burn of this secret method costs almost a thousand years of lifespan. The shallower the foundation of the divine ability, the more lifespan consumed!"
"Yan, do you know the Little Destiny Technique?"
"I don't know. I know many secret methods of the Immortal and Demonic paths, but I have never heard of the Little Destiny Technique, nor have I heard of a method that sacrifices lifespan in exchange for divine abilities." Yan was also completely baffled. That even it didn't know what the Little Destiny Technique was showed how mysterious the origin of this thing was.
"It would be excellent if senior sister could impart it to me. I also wish to study this mysterious cultivation method a bit. Naturally, I won't go cultivate it. A person's lifespan is the most precious thing. Having lifespan, one has everything. When lifespan runs out, everything is empty. Having more is just empty talk." Fang Han sighed with emotion.
"Are you saying I am very foolish?" Fang Qingxue snapped her fingers.
"Senior sister is a person of great wisdom and great courage. I prostrate myself in admiration." Fang Han said with extreme gravity: "For senior sister to have only over twenty years of lifespan left is burning one's boats; you are bound to break through the heavenly barrier in one fell swoop. Opening the Gate of Everlasting Life and attaining the Great Dao. I lack senior sister's courage."
"Glib." Fang Qingxue sneered, "Perhaps I shouldn't impart the Little Destiny Technique to you, lest you forcibly cultivate it and become like me. You are right, having lifespan, one has everything. Fang Han, remember, I have been striving to excel and outdo others my whole life. For a breath of spirit, I can sacrifice myself. So if I face a tribulation in the future, I will definitely die from striving to excel and outdo others. Do not learn from me."
"What tribulation does senior sister have? Even if there is a tribulation, I will block in front of senior sister. Meet gods, kill gods; meet Buddhas, kill Buddhas. My fate is determined by me, it does not belong to destiny." Fang Han clenched his fists, exhibiting a formidable aura: "Senior sister should better tell me. Since you are helping me ascend to the position of supreme sect master, I naturally will use this technique to guard your tribulation. I really want to see what tribulation between heaven and earth can withstand my fists."
"Alright then." Fang Qingxue put her hands together and murmured a heavy melody from her mouth, like a song yet not a song, like an incantation yet not an incantation. It was as if somewhere in the unseen world, an outcry, a groan of destiny. Fang Han had never heard such complex syllables, not even the divine language sung by the Hentian God Emperor of the Protoss was this complex.
This unseen string of syllables poured into Fang Han's mind.
"The Little Destiny Technique. Is just this segment of syllables. Its profundity must be pondered by oneself. It can only be sensed, not explained in words. Back then, I sat still for forty-nine days before suddenly comprehending it. And obtained this kind of cultivation method."
Fang Qingxue said.
