Ruyizi was indeed out of the ordinary, a Giant of the Ages hailing from a major sect. After cultivating the "Great Origin Technique," he had condensed nine Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols.
Although Fang Han saw that eight of those Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols were purely condensed from Immortal Realm vital energy without any divine ability laws contained within, they were still equivalent to avatars outside the body, or second essence souls, possessing tremendous power. Furthermore, these eight Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols were all composed of Pure Yang vital energy.
Every single Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol shone brilliantly in the sky like a blazing sun, emitting ten thousand zhang of crystalline light that shot straight into the heavens.
Even the many people outside the translucent walls could feel the intense Pure Yang Qi of each Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, which was sufficient enough to thoroughly refine away any Yin Qi.
The nine Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols joined forces, propping open the Eight Divisions Pagoda. As soon as Ruyizi broke out, he mobilized the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace. The entire Heavenly Punishment Platform began to collapse, about to be sucked into the "Great Desolation Ancient Furnace".
The Eight Divisions Pagoda manipulated by "Daoist Wood" was also a bit unstable, nearly drawn into the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace.
He immediately tried his utmost to retract his magical power. All those heavenly demon magic treasures were wholly brought back inside the Eight Divisions Pagoda, and the power of the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels was tightly withdrawn inwards to avoid being sucked away by the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace. The Great Desolation Ancient Furnace was now a High-Grade Dao Artifact; under the mobilization of a Giant of the Ages like Ruyizi, the power it unleashed was truly too terrifying.
"Fang Han, this Ruyizi has actually refined nine Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols, and they are condensed from Pure Yang Qi no less! The power is extremely immense, I can no longer suppress him. Based on his own abilities, it is completely impossible for him to condense this much Pure Yang Qi! That's right! He must have obtained the lifebound quintessential essence of the Two Immortals and Two Elders, and then the five of them utilized the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace to cultivate together, purifying Immortal Realm vital energy. Only with five Giants of the Ages joining forces and consuming pristine essence could they help him gather these nine Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols condensed from Pure Yang Qi!"
Although Daoist Wood had converted to Fang Han, his intellect had not decreased; instead, having dispelled distracted thoughts and cultivated the Great Pudu Zen Light and the Green Emperor's Wood Sovereign Technique, his mind had become increasingly lucid and assured. He immediately guessed why Ruyizi was able to condense Nine Great Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols.
"Fang Han, you are forcing me to kill you! Do you think, by converting a wild pheasant rogue cultivator like Daoist Wood, you can oppose me? Let me tell you, you are wrong, terribly and outrageously wrong."
Ruyizi's nine Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols emitted a world-shaking voice, forming a circle around the Eight Divisions Pagoda: "Great Desolation Ancient Furnace, collect for me! Eight Divisions Pagoda, Daoist Wood! It is useless for you to resist. I have accumulated enough Pure Yang Qi to make this High-Grade Dao Artifact go completely berserk!"
The collapse generated within the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace immediately shrouded the Eight Divisions Pagoda; no matter how Daoist Wood stabilized the pagoda's body, it was of no use.
This miraculous pill furnace possessed limitless functions. As long as there was enough magical power to mobilize it, it could twist time and space and melt all things.
"Ruyizi has prepared very thoroughly. It seems that although he is a Giant of the Ages, he didn't mean to underestimate Fang Han in the slightest. He actually had five people join hands, consuming their lifebound quintessential essence and accumulated Immortal Realm Pure Yang vital energy to help him refine nine Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols. It appears he has placed all his bets on a single throw."
"The Three Immortals and Two Elders are this united? For Ruyizi's sake, the other four actually spared no expense consuming their lifebound quintessential essence?"
"That is nothing. Today Ruyizi and Fang Han are engaged in a betting duel. If Ruyizi kills Fang Han, he can obtain the Yellow Springs Diagram, the Eight Divisions Pagoda, and numerous magic treasures. For the sake of these items, wouldn't the Three Immortals and Two Elders be willing to spend some capital?"
"Indeed, the Three Immortals and Two Elders would spend capital to get these things. Not to mention the Yellow Springs Diagram, even just the Water of Forgetfulness inside it holds immense value. After obtaining it, there is a chance to break through to the Undying Body."
"But this time Fang Han actually subdued a Giant of the Ages; Ruyizi might not be able to subdue Fang Han either. Besides, Fang Han seems to have not yet exerted his true strength. I am looking forward to seeing exactly what his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, condensed from ninety-three kinds of divine abilities, looks like."
A great many Giants were discussing animatedly; they knew this battle had become spectacular.
"Fang Han, you little vile spawn! This old body expended my lifebound quintessential essence and Pure Yang vital energy purified over five hundred years to help Ruyizi manifest Nine Great Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols and cultivate the Panwu Star-Shifting Great Array. It was all for today, waiting to kill you and take your magic treasures! You little vile spawn actually possess so many magic treasures. The richness of this harvest will be simply unimaginable."
Although Lulanpo was imprisoned by Feng Baiyu, she was exceptionally joyful in her heart, greed and fierce glints appearing in her eyes.
Although initially, Fang Han bringing out a Giant of the Ages like Daoist Wood gave her a shock, seeing Ruyizi unleash divine might and suppress the Eight Divisions Pagoda filled her heart with great delight. The power of the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace was indeed formidable.
"I didn't expect Ruyizi to actually cultivate Nine Great Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols and Pure Yang Essence Souls within a short period of time. His strength is now far above mine. Unless I break through to the Undying Body, I won't be able to contend with him! If Fang Han doesn't have any secret trump cards this time, it will be very hard to defeat Ruyizi, and I fear both sides might end up suffering mutual destruction."
The Heavenly Punishment Elder was filled with burning worry.
He knew that Ruyizi cultivating so many Pure Yang essence souls could massively enhance the power of a Dao Artifact.
If a Pure Yang essence soul was casually fed to the artifact spirit of the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace, that artifact spirit would immediately go berserk, and could even collect hundreds or thousands of mountain peaks inside itself.
A High-Grade Dao Artifact like the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace, if in the hands of Immortal Venerable Panwu, could even collect an entire star into the furnace to thoroughly refine magic treasures.
"Ruyizi, you wishing to collect my Eight Divisions Pagoda is a bit too early." Fang Han gave the Yellow Springs Diagram a shake. Buzz, accompanied by a dragon's cry, the Bridge of Helplessness of the Yellow Springs Diagram erected itself below the Eight Divisions Pagoda, instantly locking the pagoda in place. Following that, the Gate of Avici opened, resisting the power of the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace.
"The Gate of Avici? Is it just the Gate of Avici? Its power is too weak. Since you brought out the Yellow Springs Diagram, that is even better. I will finish off your Yellow Springs Diagram together with it. Great Desolation Ancient Furnace, collect for me." Ruyizi's eyes flickered, and his entire physical body suddenly faded away, leaving only the nine Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols revolving beside the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace. They continually poured Pure Yang vital energy into this High-Grade Dao Artifact. Unexpectedly, from within this High-Grade Dao Artifact, a massive mouth flew out. This giant mouth was lined with ghastly fangs, with countless black holes circulating inside, as if it contained another world.
This was the artifact spirit of the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace!
It had no true physical form, it was just a giant mouth.
"Mouth of the Desolation God! Absorb all things!"
Ruyizi chanted a spell, profound, long, and ancient. From the unseen void, a deity coming from the primordial Great Desolation thoroughly awakened. A starving Desolation God awakened from ages of slumber, aiming to devour any powerful existence to replenish itself.
The artifact spirit of the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace was called "Desolation God".
The form of the "Desolation God" was precisely a giant mouth.
As soon as this giant mouth appeared, the Yellow Springs Diagram trembled, the Eight Divisions Pagoda trembled, and even Fang Han's original body felt a tremble. Everything before his eyes vanished entirely. All that was left was a pitch-black, infinitely dark giant mouth with ghastly fangs, as if the grand heavens had exposed their sharp fangs.
"Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes, Buddha and Demon United as One, Supreme and Unsurpassed, Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol!"
At this very moment, without a second thought, Fang Han's forehead opened, and an unmatched surge of vital energy rushed out. In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a demon god standing a hundred zhang tall with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.
Although he hadn't yet advanced to the realm of Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate, he had obtained the "World Power" from the union of the "Great Chaos Lightning Sword" and the "Immortal Lightning Talisman." The benefits were immense, making his vitality much more tenacious and tough. Moreover, after so many days of bitter cultivation, his Lifebound Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol was purer, more flexible, and seamlessly adaptable, granting him a deeper understanding of the Demonic Dao and the Buddhist Dao.
Furthermore, he had begun cultivating the Great Chaos Lightning Technique and the Great Disaster Technique. Although he hadn't achieved even minor completion, not even crossing the threshold, the Black Sun Wind Disaster and the Great Sun Fire Disaster belonged to the Great Disaster Technique; he had a foundation.
Twelve types of disasters linked together made up the Great Disaster Technique. This ranking top ten among the Three Thousand Great Daos was a supreme rule, and the sect-suppressing divine ability of the Taiyi Sect.
Therefore, currently, within Fang Han's Lifebound Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, there was vaguely an aura of disaster, making it even more terrifying than before.
Once he truly cultivated the Great Disaster Technique, there was no telling how formidable that Lifebound Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol would become. But it was precisely because of having so many divine abilities that his speed in elevating his realm was delayed.
However, regardless of the Great Chaos Lightning Technique or the Great Disaster Technique, they were part of the Three Thousand Great Daos; it would be too great a pity not to cultivate them, and one had to cultivate them even if it meant risking their life. The Three Thousand Great Daos were the general outline of the Great Daos flowing out from the Gate of Eternal Life. The more one circulated, the higher their future achievements would be.
Like thunderbolts tearing apart the wide expanse, like sun and moon tides rocking the vast earth.
As soon as Fang Han's Lifebound Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol of unified Buddha and Demon with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes flew out, it instantly tore through a massive chunk of the void. The giant mouth of the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace wavered under the impact and was forcefully bashed open by Fang Han.
This heaven-shaking power was truly too terrifying. The entire Yuhua Heavenly Palace began to tremble. The observing experts and Giants of the Ages felt Fang Han's true strength.
"Thousand Hands Tathagata, Thousand Eyes Holy Demon! How could such an anomaly appear?" Even Feng Baiyu seemed slightly surprised, let alone the several Vice Sect Masters of the Taiyi Sect.
"Thousand Hands Tathagata, Thousand Eyes Holy Demon. For Fang Han's Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol to actually possess the anomalies of the supreme realms of both Buddhist paths? How was this cultivated? His Buddhist sect technique seems to be just a type of Great Pudu Technique. Based on reason, it should be impossible to cultivate the anomaly of the Thousand Hands Tathagata. Could it be an issue related to the spirit talisman from the Land of Five Elements?"
At the Innate Demonic Sect, the Innate Great Emperor also furrowed his brows.
"Nine-Curved Yellow River Diagram, go for me! Artifact spirit, devour one of my Pure Yang Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols, and capture this vile spawn's essence soul!" Ruyizi seemed to have prepared long ago. Seeing Fang Han's Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol遁 escape out, he actually showed no weakness whatsoever. A gloomy smile surfaced on his face, and suddenly, a Dao Artifact flew out from his body!
This Dao Artifact was a massive painting, depicting nine rivers upon it, zigzagging and winding, with nine curves and eighteen bends. These rivers had actually been thoroughly refined by someone and directly sealed into the painting. The power was overwhelmingly unparalleled.
This was Ruyizi's strongest magic treasure, the Nine-Curved Yellow River Diagram. It was a Mid-Grade Dao Artifact.
Furthermore, Ruyizi was also truly ruthless. He directly split off one Pure Yang Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, flying it into the Nine-Curved Yellow River Diagram to let the artifact spirit of this diagram swallow it!
Boom!
This Mid-Grade Dao Artifact, the Nine-Curved Yellow River Diagram, went entirely berserk, its power elevating ten times! A hundred times over! In the void, giant rivers flashed out, turning into ropes that bound towards Fang Han's Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol!
The Pure Yang vital energy contained within this single Pure Yang essence soul of Ruyizi's was equivalent to several Pure Yang magic treasures. What several Great Brahma Radiant Ships contained, once swallowed, could simply make a Dao Artifact go thoroughly berserk.
