"What precious sword is this, so powerful!"
"The situation has reversed! A Mid-Grade Dao Artifact disintegrated immediately. How could Fang Han have such a tyrannical Dao Artifact in his hands. What kind of treasure is this?"
"Directly slashing and destroying the Nine-Curved Yellow River Diagram, it couldn't even successfully self-detonate."
"Ruyizi's eight great Pure Yang essence souls were slashed in an instant."
"Heavens! What a tyrannical magic treasure this is. Between heaven and earth, is there such a tyrannical magic treasure?"
"Terrifying, it's truly too terrifying. My heavens, how could this be? The nine great Pure Yang essence souls Ruyizi cultivated were only one membrane away from the Undying Body. As long as he unified the nine great essence souls, merged them into his physical body, and comprehended the true meaning of undying, he would immediately achieve the Undying Body. Yet it was actually directly shattered by this single sword."
"Just what kind of existence is Fang Han."
…
At the moment Fang Han destroyed the Nine-Curved Yellow River Diagram with one sword, slashed and extinguished eight great Pure Yang essence souls, and injured the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace, all the Giants of the Ages were already shocked beyond measure. Everyone thought that in this battle, the moment Ruyizi was about to explode the Nine-Curved Yellow River Diagram, Fang Han's defeat was already settled. But they never expected Fang Han to bring forth a surprising variable, directly shattering the Nine-Curved Yellow River Diagram and turning defeat into victory.
No, it was not turning defeat into victory.
From beginning to end, Fang Han had never been losing; rather, he had been accumulating power, waiting for the strongest strike.
"This is…" The Heavenly Punishment Elder's eyes widened, as if recognizing Fang Han for the first time: "That magic treasure is, could it be the legendary Great Chaos Lightning Sword? No, the Great Chaos Lightning Sword absolutely has no World Power within it. And this sword, although not a Supreme-Grade Dao Artifact, actually possesses a trace of World Power, having the possibility of transforming into a Supreme-Grade Dao Artifact!"
"This is the Great Chaos Lightning Sword, the High-Grade Dao Artifact in the hands of the Heaven-Forsaking Bandit, Fan Qingying. The reason it possesses World Power is because this Dao Artifact combined with the Immortal Lightning Talisman. The artifact spirits of both sides received the auxiliary vital energy of the other, completing the Great Dao. The Immortal Lightning Talisman contains the general outline of the immemorial heavens' lightning arts, while the Great Chaos Lightning Sword possesses the Great Chaos Lightning Art of the Three Thousand Great Daos. The combination of the two produced World Power, bringing the hope of advancing to a Supreme-Grade Dao Artifact. Fang Han has given me too many pleasant surprises. Ruyizi is definitely dead this time. A generation of Giant of the Ages elder of my Yuhua Sect is vanishing into thin air just like this. What a pity, what a pity…"
As soon as Feng Baiyu saw Fang Han bring out the Great Chaos Lightning Sword, he knew what had happened. His eyes flickered, and he let out a long sigh.
"The Great Chaos Lightning Sword, the Immortal Lightning Talisman, the combination of the general outline of the immemorial heavens' lightning arts and the Great Chaos Lightning Art." Through the Eye of the Dharma's End, the Innate Great Emperor also saw all this, letting out a long sigh just like Feng Baiyu and closing his eyes.
"Immortal Lightning Talisman! Qingxue's High-Grade Dao Artifact, profound treasure of body protection, the Thunder Emperor's Edict, she actually gave it to Fang Han to refine together…" A sour feeling welled up in the Demonic Marshal's heart.
"Good! I didn't expect Fang Han to still have such a trick!"
Qiu Xiyu almost flew up, watching fixedly.
"Too terrifying, no wonder Senior Elder Heart Demon said that by following Fang Han, I would achieve great things in the future." Jiao Fei opened his mouth wide, like a fish close to suffocation, his eyes blinking repeatedly.
"Impossible, this is impossible."
Among those present, the ones most heartbroken and feeling the most terror were naturally the four among the Three Immortals and Two Elders. Lulanpo's look in her eyes had already changed, filled with terror and despair. She had not expected the situation to take a sharp turn.
The reactions of these Giants of the Ages were completely unnoticed by Fang Han. At this moment, Fang Han wielded the Great Chaos Lightning Sword fused with the "Immortal Lightning Talisman" in his hand, striking at Ruyizi with all his might. The Chaos Divine Thunder and the Immemorial Heavens' Divine Thunder on the sword all shrouded toward this Yuhua Sect's Giant of the Ages.
The sharp sword qi, the World Power of creation and destruction, tore through all of Ruyizi's defenses and all his protective astral qi. Even the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace, stimulated by this sword qi, felt intense danger and actually broke free from Ruyizi's control all at once, flying high up.
This ancient furnace was ultimately not Ruyizi's lifebound magic treasure, and had never been thoroughly refined by him. Seeing the situation turning bad, it immediately fled to avoid being cleaved open by the Great Chaos Lightning Sword and leaking vital energy.
Now Ruyizi was left with just a single physical body, and a lifebound essence soul that had cultivated seventy-one divine abilities.
"Fang Han, you vile spawn, I didn't expect you to hide so deeply! I will risk everything against you today! Even if I die, I will drag you down with me! The Heaven and Earth Congenital Lifespan Art, the Heaven and Earth Congenital Lifespan Art! A thousand years of lifespan, destroyed in a single morning. Heaven and earth possess three originals: Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity. Today I will abandon the root of Longevity, to perish together with you!"
At this very moment, Ruyizi already knew he was thoroughly devoid of hope. The power displayed by Fang Han's Great Chaos Lightning Sword, and the World Power contained within it, were fundamentally beyond what he could contend with. Moreover, the Great Desolation Ancient Furnace and the Nine-Curved Yellow River Diagram could no longer protect him. Having lost all his Dao Artifacts, he now had to oppose three High-Grade Dao Artifacts, a Giant of the Ages Daoist Wood, and three Mid-Grade Dao Artifacts, on top of the terrifying Fang Han. There was fundamentally not a sliver of room for resistance.
When a person is in despair, they will erupt with terrifying potential.
As a Giant of the Ages, he naturally had life-risking methods. He deployed his life-risking great art, the Heaven and Earth Congenital Lifespan Art. The Lifebound Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol containing seventy-one divine abilities began to tremble. His physical body also suddenly disintegrated, all flesh and blood transforming into a blood-colored long rainbow that resisted the slash of the Great Chaos Lightning Sword.
That flesh and blood squirmed, born and destroyed under the slash of the Great Chaos Lightning Sword, actually slightly resisting the sharp edge of the Chaos Lightning Sword.
However, beneath the sharp edge of the Great Chaos Lightning Sword, in a matter of a few split seconds, this flesh and blood had its spiritual qi thoroughly slashed, being sucked into the lightning world of the Immortal Lightning Talisman as well.
But precisely during the few split seconds of resistance, Ruyizi's Lifebound Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, seventy-one divine abilities, suddenly condensed into a profound talismanic character, a single character. This character seemed to be a twisted word "Longevity". Every stroke and line seemed to be twisted from a giant dragon.
The "Longevity" character consisted of seven strokes in total. Every single stroke was as if composed of a dragon!
The moment this "Longevity" character appeared, forcefully pressing down on the scene, it actually completely blocked the sharp edge of the Great Chaos Lightning Sword. Then continuous explosions occurred above the font. All the surrounding vital energy rubbed and vibrated, and everything began to shatter. Moreover, the shattering power spread outward, making Fang Han feel as if his own physical body was also disintegrating.
However, he had already cultivated a half-Undying Body, so the disintegration of his physical body was nothing.
"Ruyizi, you want to drag me on the road, how is that possible! Yellow Springs Diagram, collect him!" Without a second thought, Fang Han gave the Yellow Springs Diagram a shake. The Gate of Avici and the Bridge of Helplessness all opened, wanting to pull this "Longevity" character inside. He knew that Ruyizi was risking his life. But it didn't matter; pulling Ruyizi inside the Yellow Springs Diagram and letting him self-detonate wouldn't blow apart this existence that was essentially a Supreme-Grade Dao Artifact.
After the explosion, the residual quintessential qi could still be used to refine various magic treasures, absorbed by himself.
This was the advantage of High-Grade Dao Artifacts and Supreme-Grade Dao Artifacts: they did not fear self-detonations.
"Fang Han, you wish to pull me inside, that is impossible. Using the secret art of the Heaven and Earth Congenital Lifespan Art, I destroyed my physical body and a thousand years of lifespan to entirely suppress you. My magical power right now is equivalent to an expert with an Undying Body. I will thoroughly imprint this 'Longevity' character of mine onto your essence soul! I will completely drag you along the road, journeying to the Yellow Springs together!"
That "Longevity" character that Ruyizi had transformed into actually expanded once more, wrapping the Great Chaos Lightning Sword. Allowing the sword light of the Great Chaos Lightning Sword to slash wantonly within its body without the slightest fear, it viciously pounced toward Fang Han to strike.
Fang Han could see that every slash of the Great Chaos Lightning Sword would consume one sixty-year cycle of Ruyizi's lifespan. With over ten swords striking down instantly, a thousand years of lifespan had already been depleted. Continuing like this, in less than a few breaths, Ruyizi would be completely slashed to death. But at this moment, Ruyizi was risking his life; how could he care about depleting his lifespan? Single-mindedly breaking through layers of restraints, he intended to imprint his "Longevity" character essence soul onto Fang Han's lifebound essence soul.
How could Fang Han allow Ruyizi to risk his life? He knew that if Ruyizi got close to him and immediately exploded, he would not be able to bear it.
Immediately, his Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol returned to him. His half-Undying Body changed with all its might, wrapping his own head. He beckoned the Yellow Springs Diagram, wrapping toward that "Longevity" character Ruyizi had changed into once more.
The "Great Chaos Lightning Sword" slashed from within the "Longevity" character enacted by Ruyizi. The Yellow Springs Diagram wrapped toward Ruyizi, while Fang Han flickered repeatedly. Ruyizi, meanwhile, shook his body, enduring the slashes of the Great Chaos Lightning Sword and dodging past the Yellow Springs Diagram to chase Fang Han's main body.
This series of changes occurred at lightning speed. No one had time to react.
"To perish together with Fang Han, you must first perish together with me! I possess the courage to sacrifice myself to subdue demons!" Suddenly, Daoist Wood flew out from the Eight Divisions Pagoda, wielding his essence soul to crash toward that "Longevity" character of Ruyizi.
He actually intended to continuously block Ruyizi on Fang Han's behalf.
After being converted by Fang Han, Daoist Wood was genuinely ready to sacrifice himself at any moment.
Ruyizi was instantly entangled by Daoist Wood.
"Daoist Wood, you madman, you, you, you are also a Giant of the Ages, yet you are actually sacrificing yourself for Fang Han!" Ruyizi roared furiously, but he did not explode, because he felt there would be zero significance in blowing up Daoist Wood! He was also unwilling, intensely unwilling. "Get lost!"
He unleashed an immense surge of power, bouncing Daoist Wood away with a bang.
"A good opportunity, Ruyizi, you have lost all your vitality, I will completely kill you! Your vital energy and divine abilities will all assist me, giving me enough vital energy to step into the realm of Defying the Heavens and Changing Fate, and then cultivate into a Giant of the Ages, and kill Hua Tiandu next!" Seeing this opportunity, without a second thought, Fang Han's Eight Divisions Pagoda pressed down forcefully, shaking the "Longevity" character Ruyizi had transformed into, making it waver. Following that, within the body of the "Longevity" character, the slashing Great Chaos Lightning Sword and the Immortal Lightning Talisman stirred once again, unfolding its World Power.
The Yellow Springs Diagram forcefully shrouded down.
Ruyizi had not a shred of vitality left.
"My disciple Hua Tiandu, avenge me! Kill Fang Han, you must absolutely kill Fang Han."
At the moment he was dragged into the Yellow Springs Diagram for the final time, Ruyizi exploded utilizing his entire body's power. Simultaneously, right before his dying breath, a surge of mental power transmitted deep into the time and space of the Yuhua Heavenly Palace.
