Lulanpo was completely infuriated. As a Giant of the Ages who had cultivated for an unknown number of years, establishing her own faction in the extraterrestrial starry skies, she, like Daoist Dragon and Daoist Wood, was the master of a planet. Although far incomparable to the Ten Gates of the Immortal Dao in the Xuanhuang Great World, she was still a figure who rampaged across a region and received reverence. Never had anyone shouted at her like this before.
The vulture-headed staff waved, and black smoke shot out. Streaks of black smoke, akin to spirit snakes, laid out an inescapable net intended to trap and lock Fang Han, to teach him an unforgettable lesson.
This vulture-headed staff was Lulanpo's proudest magic treasure, a Low-Grade Dao Artifact called the "Heavenly Fowl Staff." She had arduously cultivated for a millennium, gathering materials, before finally refining it successfully.
Generally, Giants of the Ages could only refine Low-Grade Dao Artifacts.
Experts who had cultivated the Undying Body could refine Mid-Grade Dao Artifacts.
If one was a powerhouse like Feng Baiyu, comprehending the rules of space and time, possessing the marvelous properties of creation, and able to conduct conversions between materials—turning stone into gold or water into oil—they could refine High-Grade Dao Artifacts.
And if one cultivated to the level of Daoist Huntian, possessing one's own world and refining world power, they could refine Supreme-Grade Dao Artifacts!
Although Lulanpo was a Giant of the Ages, she was still far from the Undying Body, making it utterly impossible for her to refine a Mid-Grade Dao Artifact. However, this Low-Grade Dao Artifact had fused with the essence souls of countless powerful birds, allowing it to unleash spells at a speed comparable to the Instant Fall Technique.
The reason she cultivated into a Giant of the Ages was that she obtained a scripture from an ancient, profoundly cultivated senior, the "Reverend Spirit Vulture," called the "True Scripture of the Heavenly Fowl," along with a few pills that increased lifespan. Cultivating bitterly for thousands of years and interacting with Ruyizi for mutual exchange, she advanced to a Giant of the Ages purely by a lucky coincidence. However, her progress stopped right there. No matter what, she could not cultivate to the second layer of the Longevity Secret Realm, the Undying Body.
But the Longevity Secret Realm was the Longevity Secret Realm, and its majesty brooked no offense.
"A mere Low-Grade Dao Artifact dares to act flagrantly in front of me. Break for me!" Facing the shooting black smoke, Fang Han didn't even think about it. He gave a sudden, explosive shout and grabbed forward with his hand, directly tearing all the black smoke apart. Flicking his fingers continuously, a brilliant radiance resembling a great sun and an edge resembling a crescent moon converged together, vibrating with a buzzing sound, and slashed directly in front of Lulanpo!
"Sun and Moon Essence Wheels, a pair of Mid-Grade Dao Artifacts!"
Lulanpo emitted the black smoke, wanting to teach Fang Han a lesson, but how could she have known that the other party, with a raise of his hand, would break the astral sword qi she had bitterly cultivated and even launch a counterattack? That vast solar and lunar radiance forced her out of breath. The power of a Mid-Grade Dao Artifact was originally terrifying, let alone a pair of them.
Moreover, the power of this strike was fueled by Fang Han injecting the World Tree's Immortal Realm vital energy, along with Daoist Wood injecting his own Immortal Realm vital energy, into the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels. This was equivalent to two Giants of the Ages mobilizing them at the same time.
Crackle, crackle! A continuous series of sounds echoed. The various restrictive arrays and protective astral qi Lulanpo had set up around her were pierced like bamboo under the rotation of the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels' precious light. In the blink of an eye, they were about to shoot over and cleave her body in two.
"Humph!"
A thin, pole-like old man beside her gave a cold harrumph. His body swept forward as he raised his hand, unleashing a blade-shaped brilliant light that fiercely resisted the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels.
This was Lulanpo's husband, Fuyunsou.
Known as the "Two Elders."
Seeing the scene before him, Ruyizi revealed a sinister smile. His palm suddenly turned, and the form of a pill furnace indistinctly appeared behind his body.
"Return!" Fang Han had long guarded against the High-Grade Dao Artifact on Ruyizi's body, the "Great Desolation Ancient Furnace." With a shift of his mind, the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels immediately spun and flew back, about to be retracted.
"You little vile spawn, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant, thinking that having obtained two Mid-Grade Dao Artifacts, you can challenge me? Today, I will first collect this pair of your Sun and Moon Essence Wheels, to let you know what true power is."
How could Ruyizi allow Fang Han to retrieve the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels? The Great Desolation Ancient Furnace rotated slightly, and a pitch-black cavity abruptly appeared inside, completely absorbing even the light. Space collapsed endlessly inwards, and the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels were actually sucked into a rapid spin, being drawn inside.
"What Three Immortals and Two Elders? A bunch of scoundrel friends, could it be you want all five people to join hands and deal with me?" Fang Han's body shifted repeatedly, spurting mouthfuls of vital energy. The Sun and Moon Essence Wheels abruptly painted numerous profound talismans.
Boom!
Right at this moment, an invisible, immense force cut in between Fang Han and Ruyizi. Fang Han only felt the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels shudder and fly backwards.
Subsequently, a remarkably handsome youth appeared on the Heavenly Punishment Platform. His white clothes surpassed snow, his fingers were slender, and his hair fluttered, hanging like clouds. It was none other than the Supreme Sect Master of the Yuhua Sect, Feng Baiyu.
As soon as Feng Baiyu appeared, without saying a word, he continuously waved his hand. Instantly, four rays of crystalline light directly enveloped Lulanpo, Fuyunsou, the Beautiful Beard Immortal, and the Bronze Leg Immortal. Following a tremor, these "Two Immortals and Two Elders" were directly sent into the reception hall. Beneath them, crystal stone chairs appeared, transformed from the crystalline light that had surrounded them.
"Abominable, this Feng Baiyu is truly formidable. We four are all Giants of the Ages, yet with a wave of his hand, he molded us like molding dough. Such tyrannical strength."
As soon as Lulanpo was enveloped by the crystalline light, she immediately felt she could not move at all from head to toe, and her magical power could not circulate. Furthermore, after being sent into the reception hall, she tried her absolute best to leave the chair and stand up, but couldn't.
She was actually imprisoned!
With a wave of his hand, Feng Baiyu seemingly politely sent the four people back to their seats, but in reality, he imprisoned all four.
"Humph! These four people truly overestimate their capabilities. Ruyizi and Fang Han are an internal matter of the Yuhua Sect, why did you four rogue cultivators mix yourselves up with Ruyizi and interfere in the internal affairs of the Yuhua Sect? If not imprisoning you, then who? Three thousand years ago, Feng Baiyu was already a god of slaughter, unknown how many demon gods and experts of the immortal and demonic daos he has slain. You call yourselves the Three Immortals and Two Elders, but you are just minor characters. Unaliving you would be extremely easy for Feng Baiyu."
Several people sneered repeatedly upon seeing this scene.
These people were Vice Sect Masters of the Taiyi Sect! They were currently on the same level of existence as Yan Shuitian. This time, they received Ruyizi's invitation to come and bear witness to the duel with Fang Han. Although they carried the majesty of the Taiyi Sect, they did not dare to act wildly at the Yuhua Sect.
"Everyone, today is the day a true disciple and an elder of my Yuhua Sect settle their personal grievances. This is not a joyous occasion, but to settle grievances and avenge enmities, my Yuhua Sect emphasizes the word fairness." Feng Baiyu's expression remained unchanged, his voice transmitted into everyone's ears. "Today, to watch the private combat between Fang Han and Elder Ruyizi, there are Taiyi Sect disciples, Linglong Blessed Land elders, and many Giants present. However, I do not wish for anyone to interfere in the exchange between Fang Han and Ruyizi. Ruyizi, Fang Han, what do you think?"
"Senior Brother Sect Master, this kid Fang Han is treacherous and unfilial, showing no respect for his elders. Moreover, today he voluntarily challenged me, and I have no choice but to face the battle. If I kill him, I hope Senior Brother Sect Master will not hold it against me." Ruyizi laughed coldly and sinisterly.
"A life-and-death duel, each to their own fate." Feng Baiyu's voice carried not the slightest hint of emotion as his palm casually traced a line. Surrounding the Heavenly Punishment Platform, countless translucent walls faintly appeared. "Both of you possess High-Grade Dao Artifacts. Even if forced into a desperate situation where you self-detonate your essence souls, neither side will drag anyone down with you. However, to prevent your magical powers from damaging the Heavenly Punishment Platform and affecting everyone, I have sealed a radius of fifty thousand zhang of void. You can exert your divine abilities to your heart's content and fully display your prowess!"
"Yes, Supreme Sect Master."
Fang Han looked at the surrounding translucent walls and knew this was a barrier set by the "Emperor's Mirror," which no one could break.
"In that case, let's begin." Feng Baiyu's body flashed and he disappeared without a trace.
The Heavenly Punishment Platform.
Above and below, left and right, the eight directions and the six harmonies were now completely sealed by layers of translucent walls set by Feng Baiyu, preventing the aftershocks of the battle from leaking out. Now, only Ruyizi and Fang Han were left inside.
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Sect Master would actually not protect you anymore. It can be seen that he is already thoroughly disappointed with you and has completely abandoned you. The position of the Yuhua Sect's master belongs to my disciple Hua Tiandu. This is a destined outcome." Looking at the layers of translucent walls around him, Ruyizi smiled in satisfaction. He thought Feng Baiyu would obstruct him from killing Fang Han, but he did not expect him to so generously let the two of them engage in a life-and-death duel. In front of so many people, Feng Baiyu's golden words would not be reneged upon; he naturally felt smug in his heart. "Fang Han, it's still not too late for you to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. If you kneel on the ground and kowtow to me, I won't kill you. Otherwise, relying on your incomplete Yellow Springs Diagram, whatever Eight Divisions Pagoda, or those tamed heavenly demons playthings, you are not my match, and today you will end up with the fate of body perishing and dao vanishing."
"Die!"
At this moment, Fang Han knew he could single-mindedly kill Ruyizi. He didn't fear anyone interfering at all. Since Feng Baiyu had said it like this, then certainly no one could insert themselves into the duel between him and Ruyizi.
Facing Ruyizi's smugness, he had only one word, and that was die!
His body moved, and the Yellow Springs Diagram was the first to fly out. Avici Demonic Qi permeated everywhere, the Gate of Avici opened, and the Bridge of Helplessness appeared beneath Fang Han's feet.
And the "Eight Divisions Pagoda," with a whoosh, was spat out from his mouth, transforming into a peak-like pagoda, suppressing towards Ruyizi.
Under Fang Han's cultivation over these few days, the Eight Divisions Melting Furnace and the Five Hells King Cauldron inside the "Eight Divisions Pagoda" had merged into one, successfully transforming into a Dao Artifact. Its power was even greater than before. Once deployed, tens of thousands of brilliant rays immediately shone, and the rumbling of frenzy thunder echoed unceasingly. From within, a full ten thousand magic treasures were propelled out, along with the radiance of the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels. A thousand scorching suns and ten thousand bright moons rotated everywhere. The translucent walls set by Feng Baiyu trembled, seemingly on the verge of shattering at any moment.
At this very moment, Daoist Wood, hidden inside the Eight Divisions Pagoda, mobilized his vital energy, attaching his "Sal Tree" essence soul to the pagoda's body. Upon the pagoda's body, streams of Pure Yang Immortal Qi were absorbed by the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels and the Chakra Holy King, causing these Dao Artifacts to go berserk.
Rumble!
The Eight Divisions Pagoda propelled out those magic treasures, resembling a primordial giant emitting a world-destroying battle cry.
Facing such suppressing pressure, Ruyizi's face changed instantly.
