Fang Han continuously dispersed his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, letting it permeate every corner of the Eight Divisions Pagoda, cycling endlessly. Then, he explosively scattered his half-Undying Body, filling the Eight Divisions Pagoda with immense and vigorous vital energy.
At this moment, he felt a flesh-and-blood connection with the Eight Divisions Pagoda, feeling as though the Eight Divisions Pagoda was his own body, and his body was the Eight Divisions Pagoda.
He even felt that if he continued cultivating like this, even if his main body was killed, the Eight Divisions Pagoda could undergo a rebirth and transform into a second self.
This was a "Lifebound Magic Treasure"!
For many experts who had cultivated the Undying Body, if their main body was suppressed or trapped in a desperate state about to be thoroughly refined, a wisp of their spiritual consciousness would be reborn within their Lifebound Magic Treasure.
Therefore, a "Lifebound Magic Treasure" was no small matter. It concerned a cultivator's life and death. However, Fang Han was still far from refining the Eight Divisions Pagoda into his Lifebound Magic Treasure; he would have to wait at least until he became a Giant of the Ages.
Rumble!
Once again dispersing the Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, his half-Undying Body roamed within the Eight Divisions Pagoda. Everyone could feel that Fang Han was the true master of this Eight Divisions Pagoda. With a mere thought, the entire pagoda would emit brilliant light and various sounds, and could even compress to the extreme before exploding.
"Fang Han, your power has been elevated to the limit. Unfortunately, your Lifebound Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol is too powerful, making it difficult to establish a close connection with heaven and earth. Breaking through to the Divine Ability Tenth Layer, the realm of Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate, will be more than ten times harder for you than it was for me."
Fang Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes.
"Indeed, I felt the realm of Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate, placing one's spiritual imprint into heaven and earth. To feel the unseen rules of heaven and earth's destiny should be like a fish in water, handling it with ease, but my power is too tyrannical, making it too difficult to integrate into heaven and earth."
Fang Han completely retracted his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, his half-Undying Body condensing into shape as he reluctantly shook his head.
Originally, he thought he could break through to the Divine Ability Tenth Layer, the realm of Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate, and then consume the Longevity Fruit and the Seven Lives Mysterious Gate Pill in one fell swoop. If he broke through to the Longevity Secret Realm and became a Giant of the Ages, killing Ruyizi would be like killing a dead dog. But he never expected that breaking through the Divine Ability Tenth Layer would be so difficult.
"Your lifespan is still long, don't rush, you will succeed sooner or later. Your hopes are much greater than mine." Fang Qingxue smiled slightly. "The seven days are up, let's go out and see exactly how many figures have arrived these past few days. You thoroughly killing Ruyizi will happen today!"
It turned out that, unknowingly, the seven days had already passed.
"Alright! But Senior Sister Qingxue, it's best you don't show your face. Otherwise, others will think you lent me the Immortal Lightning Talisman, which will bring you a lot of trouble at that time."
"Trouble! What trouble?" Fang Qingxue smiled coldly. "You are originally a member of my Fang family, it is natural right for me to help you. Besides, the Immortal Lightning Talisman and the Great Chaos Lightning Sword are now combined, with the talisman struck into the sword body, who would be able to tell?"
While speaking, she let out a piercing whistle, rushed out of the Eight Divisions Pagoda, and arrived at the top of Reincarnation Peak.
"Star Cloud Baby, Senior Sister Jialan, Demoness, Crane Fairy, Princess Hongyi, Pure Fox Little Demoness… all of you come out. I am going to duel with Ruyizi, it is not suitable for you to be inside the Eight Divisions Pagoda. As for the Black Nether King and Daoist Wood, they were originally converted by me, equivalent to magic treasure artifact spirits, so there is no need for them to come out." giving his orders, Fang Han waited for Star Cloud Baby, Jialan, and the others to come out before opening his mouth to inhale, swallowing the Eight Divisions Pagoda into his body. Tearing with both hands as if ripping the void, his figure arrived high up in the sky, gazing towards the Heavenly Punishment Platform from afar.
At this moment, a reception hall far away from the Heavenly Punishment Platform was already full of people. All were peerless experts, including quite a few Giants of the Ages, and even rogue cultivators and elders from demonic sects.
They were either invited by Ruyizi to bear witness, or had received the news and rushed to the Yuhua Sect at all costs to see how Fang Han was going to challenge a Giant of the Ages.
"Fang Han has come out! What an imposing manner! It seems his aura has gathered to its peak. Why hasn't Ruyizi arrived yet? Their duel is today!"
Some experts were shaken when they saw Fang Han charging out from Reincarnation Peak, their gazes shooting over one after another.
And two people directly flew over. Fang Han took one look and surprisingly found them to be Jiao Fei, whom he had defeated in the Linglong Blessed Land, and "Qiu Xiyu" of the Linglong Blessed Land.
"Fang Han, you are challenging Ruyizi, you don't have much of a guarantee, do you? Immortal Venerable Linglong also heard this news and specially ordered me to take a look, to see exactly what kind of reliance you have to take such a huge risk. You must know, with your current accumulation, under the help of my Linglong Blessed Land, cultivating for three to five more years, becoming a Giant of the Ages would be a sure thing. If you want immortal pills, my Linglong Blessed Land has immortal pills. If you want Dao artifacts, my Linglong Blessed Land has Dao artifacts! In a few years, when you face an opponent like Ruyizi, you could effortlessly suppress him. Why must you take the risk now?"
In front of many people, Qiu Xiyu did not conceal the Linglong Blessed Land's intention to rope in Fang Han in the slightest.
"I appreciate Immortal Venerable Linglong's good intentions, but cultivation relies on oneself. My challenge to Ruyizi this time is precisely to temper myself, to gain life-and-death duel experience with a Giant of the Ages, and to lay a vigorous foundation. The Linglong Blessed Land can give me medicinal pills and Dao artifacts, but it cannot give me tempering, and the most important thing in cultivation is tempering." Fang Han glanced at "Qiu Xiyu". "Furthermore, if I didn't have absolute confidence, I wouldn't act so abruptly."
"Since that is the case, I won't advise you anymore. But I must tell you, Ruyizi borrowed his disciple's Great Desolation Ancient Furnace and is cultivating a type of divine ability together with the Beautiful Beard Immortal, the Bronze Leg Immortal, Lulanpo, and Fuyunsou. Those four have even given a portion of their lifebound quintessential essence to Ruyizi, attempting to help him break through to the Undying Body realm."
"Humph! How could the Undying Body be so easy to break through? If he could break through, he would have done so long ago. Would he wait until now? The Immortal Realm laws he obtained when ascending to become a Giant of the Ages were incomplete; no matter how much vital energy he accumulates, it is useless." when Yan Shuiyi advanced to the Longevity Secret Realm, Fang Han had also felt the Immortal Realm's Great Dao laws and knew what was going on.
Thinking of "Yan Shuiyi," his heart stirred: "Now Yan Shuiyi should have become the vice sect master, and her name should have changed too, it should be Yan Shuitian now."
"I didn't expect you to know so clearly about the matters of the Longevity Secret Realm." Qiu Xiyu was shocked. "I am just telling you this news. I am also looking forward to seeing what kind of trump card you have to slay Ruyizi." After speaking, her body moved, and she flew back to the reception hall.
"Jiao Fei, what are you looking for me for? Could it be regarding the matter of the law enforcement disciples?" Fang Han turned to look at Jiao Fei.
"I came to submit to you. The eccentric who originally imparted the Heart Demon Great Curse Sword to me said a great tribulation is impending, and submitting to you might offer a sliver of vitality. I did not dare to disobey this senior's will." Jiao Fei said respectfully.
"Oh?" Fang Han thought in his heart, immediately knowing it was definitely that "Elder Heart Demon" who helped him defeat Daoist Dragon and Daoist Wood.
"So it was Senior Elder Heart Demon who told you to come. Since it is this senior's arrangement, there must be a profound meaning behind it. As the first true disciple of the Complete Heaven Sword Sect, it is inappropriate for you to publicly submit to me. However, I am just about to unite the disciples of the major immortal dao sects to form a law enforcement team. You will be the first. From now on, we will join hands, link up the immortal dao, and accomplish some earth-shattering deeds."
Fang Han didn't know what Elder Heart Demon meant by telling Jiao Fei to submit to him, but this old man clearly had no ill intent. Moreover, by saying a great tribulation was impending, he clearly also knew about the God Race's invasion.
For an expert of Elder Heart Demon's level, there was almost nothing that could be concealed from him.
"I have a rather broad network of acquaintances among the Ten Gates of the Immortal Dao, just leave this matter to me." Jiao Fei nodded. "If Senior Brother Fang Han encounters this senior again, I hope you can put in a good word for me and have him impart the complete Heart Demon Great Curse Sword to me."
"No problem. Go on, Ruyizi is here!"
As Fang Han spoke, he abruptly looked up at the sky. His eyes pierced deep above the white clouds, straight into the high Nine Heavens Stellar Wind Layer, immediately seeing the Nine Heavens Stellar Wind Layer for a thousand miles around being completely torn open by five immense forces. All the stellar winds suddenly gathered towards the center, forming five massive tornadoes that descended. Hurricane winds shot out in all directions, spinning erratically, like five wind dragons raising their heads and swinging their tails, all landing accurately on the Heavenly Punishment Platform.
Subsequently, the five massive tornadoes disappeared without a trace. Not even a slight breeze arose; they directly merged into the energy flows of heaven and earth.
In the middle of where those five tornadoes were, five people appeared: four Daoists and an old woman.
At a glance, Fang Han saw that one of these four Daoists was Ruyizi! As for the others, they were clearly the Beautiful Beard Immortal, the Bronze Leg Immortal, Lulanpo, and Fuyunsou, among the Three Immortals and Two Elders.
"Tsk tsk, Ruyizi, is this the little vile spawn who wants to challenge you?" As soon as she landed on the Heavenly Punishment Platform, that old woman started speaking, laughing sinisterly, pointing a vulture-headed staff in her hand at Fang Han. "This little vile spawn doesn't have any outstanding features at all. To actually dare despise the majesty of a Giant of the Ages, is he tired of living?"
This old woman was Lulanpo.
Fang Han's eyes turned icy, like frost and snow, looking at this old woman, Lulanpo. He only saw the other party was small and thin, dressed entirely in black, holding a vulture-headed walking stick, with a stream of black smoke revolving continuously around her entire body. It seemed she cultivated demonic dao techniques, and it was unknown how she cultivated to become a Giant of the Ages.
"Old hag, this is the Yuhua Sect, not that impoverished backwater from your desolate and barbaric lands outside the domains. With your foul mouth, it seems you are seeking death? Sooner or later, I will capture you, seal your magical power, and throw you into the most rotten brothel in the secular world. Letting you experience what that tastes like, but you are too old and too ugly. I'm afraid even some old men wouldn't take an interest in you."
Although Fang Han's tone was dismissive, his choice of words was extremely vicious.
"What did you say! Boy, you seek death!" Upon hearing this, Lulanpo immediately flew into a furious rage, jumping with anger. Pointing the vulture-headed staff in her hand, a streak of black qi shot out.
