"So this is Ancestor Blood Bat? An existence that absorbed the blood and flesh of an Immemorial Heavenly Dragon to cultivate into a giant demon? His imposing aura is indeed extraordinary. However, if I suppress him, cross him over and subjugate him, there will be three Giants of Antiquity inside the Eight部 Pagoda. Then, even if the Heavenly Demons multiply to ten million, the Demon Kings alone will be able to supply enough. And what of Hua Tiandu? Even if he cultivates an Undying Body, if my three Giants of Antiquity crush him, he will certainly die without a doubt. Furthermore, the more Giants of Antiquity I cross over, my strength will snowball and grow larger and larger."
Seeing the imposing aura of the old freak Blood Bat, Fang Han calculated secretly in his heart.
However, he also knew that suppressing the old freak Blood Bat would not be an easy task. The opponent had clearly come prepared and could escape at any moment.
But he had already made up his mind to suppress another Giant of Antiquity, ensuring that there were at least three in the Eight部 Pagoda. Having three Giants of Antiquity continuously supplying Immortal World vital energy was necessary to completely make up for the Heavenly Demons' expenditures, so that from then on, there would never be the danger of them starving to death again.
Moreover, with three Giants of Antiquity, a formation where each supported the other could be laid down within the Eight部 Pagoda. Three Giants of Antiquity joining hands to refine magical treasures or fight enemies and kill people would be much more convenient.
This was true snowballing.
Crossing over more Giants of Antiquity increased strength, which then made it easier to cross over other giants.
In the Xuanhuang Great World, dealing with Giants of Antiquity was very difficult. Because any cultivator who stepped into the Longevity Secret Realm was certainly famous and had a highly respected status within their sect. Killing even one would lead to unimaginable consequences.
But in the extraterrestrial starry skies, most of these giants dominated their own territories and fought for themselves. They came and went without a trace and had no backing. Crossing one over meant just crossing one over, with no consequences.
The giants of the extraterrestrial starry skies were also frequently killed and refined by higher existences.
However, almost no one directly crossed them over to serve as laborers like Fang Han did. When an existence at Feng Baiyu's level came to the extraterrestrial starry skies to subjugate the Demon Gods among the Heavenly Demons, he would merely use the Heavenly Emperor Mirror to envelop them and collect the residual essence energy after the Demon God self-detonated.
The efficiency of utilization was far lower than Fang Han's.
If a Giant of Antiquity wanted to self-detonate, even Feng Baiyu could not stop it. But Fang Han could, because he possessed the Avici Demonic Qi, the Yellow Spring Diagram, the Everlasting Demon Domain and Ultimate Bliss Pure Land he condensed himself, and further, the assistance of Fang Qingxue's Little Destiny Technique.
Especially Fang Qingxue's Little Destiny Technique.
It was even more profound than the Great Yin-Yang Technique. It could actually plant a seed of destiny within the enemy's heart, making them produce a destiny of inevitable defeat. This had already surpassed the scope of half the Great Daos.
If it were not for the Little Destiny Technique, there was absolutely no way Fang Han could have crossed over Dharma King Jidu this time. Because Dharma King Jidu's soul was growing increasingly resolute; although he could not escape Fang Han's suppression, he definitively could have self-detonated.
"Fang Han, this old freak Blood Bat is absolutely not to be trifled with. Do not act rashly. We will observe the situation first." Fang Qingxue's divine intent was transmitted into Fang Han's mind.
"I know this. Now that I have crossed over Daoist Mu and Dharma King Jidu, combined with our joint forces and possessing so many Dao Artifacts, even an expert with an Undying Body might have a hard time fighting against us. However, there are the auras of two other Giants of Antiquity around this old freak Blood Bat, which is not good."
Fang Han already knew that those who came to seize the treasure this time included Dharma King Jidu, Ancestor True Demon, Master Goulou, and Ancestor Blood Bat. In addition, there was also Daoist Dragon deep within the Dragon-Wood Planet refining the Dragon-Wood planet core.
Of course, there might also be some hidden experts who had received the news.
Facing such a complex situation, one could only endure patiently. Wait for the perfect opportunity and absolutely not engage in reckless slaughter.
"Old freak Blood Bat, you must be mistaken. Where did you hear that I subjugated two wandering rogue cultivators and obtained a Dao Artifact?" Dharma King Jidu said impassively, looking at the massive blood bat.
"Gagagaga, gagagaga…" Following a burst of sharp, ear-piercing sound, the "Blood Bat", a full ten miles in size, flapped its wings, and a voice transmitted from within again: "Jidu, there is nothing in this star region that can be hidden from me, Blood Bat. Let me quickly take a look, what does this Dao Artifact you just obtained look like?"
"Hmph! Where is there any treasure."
Dharma King Jidu coldly snorted: "On the contrary, the Dragon-Wood planet core is about to appear, this treasure is a genuinely good item. Old freak Blood Bat, you better rest and save some strength; seizing the Dragon-Wood planet core is the right path."
"Seize the Dragon-Wood planet core? It is certainly easy, but with our group acting in such a disorderly manner, what kind of propriety is that? When the time comes and the Dragon-Wood planet core appears, it might end up letting Daoist Dragon escape. That is why I have already prepared to join hands with Fellow Daoist Blood Bat. As soon as the Dragon-Wood planet core appears, we will join forces to suppress Daoist Dragon and share this planet core together."
Right at this moment, behind the massive blood bat, an old man with long black whiskers surprisingly appeared.
This old man had a gloomy face, and a long flesh horn was surprisingly growing from the top of his head. At the very tip of this flesh horn, there was a small devilish phantom face. It was incomparably bizarre, making one sweat just by looking at it.
"Ancestor True Demon, you actually joined hands with old freak Blood Bat." Dharma King Jidu was taken aback and immediately recognized this old man with the flesh horn on his head to be Ancestor True Demon.
"Not only Fellow Daoist True Demon, but I have also joined hands with Fellow Daoist Blood Bat." Just then, another person rose up from the massive blood bat.
This person wore a suit of armor with ferocious scales and horns on it. On his back was a massive Qilin head, and his entire body emanated a tall, ferocious aura.
"Master Goulou! You have finally refined that Qilin Armor of yours into a Low-Grade Dao Artifact. No wonder you are so domineering."
Dharma King Jidu's body trembled slightly, secretly saying: "This is Master Goulou. He once encountered a Qilin divine beast. Somehow he obtained an inner core from the Qilin divine beast, vastly increasing his lifespan and cultivation. After cultivating bitterly for three thousand years, he comprehended the Longevity Secret Realm and became a Giant of Antiquity. This Qilin Armor of his may not be as miraculous as my Jidu Divine Smoke, forming a space of its own, but it possesses boundless strength. Upon wearing it, it links with his flesh and blood, giving it an incredibly tyrannical lethal power. It can tear apart any barrier in an instant. It is no small matter."
Master Goulou! Ancestor True Demon! Old freak Blood Bat!
Three great old freaks joined hands.
The auras of these three men were heaven-shaking and earth-turning; they were all Giants of Antiquity. Joining hands, they changed the color of the wind and clouds, and the void trembled fiercely. Especially when that ten-mile blood bat flapped its wings, it seemed as if many stars were rippling.
"Dharma King Jidu! How about it! Quickly bring out the Dao Artifact you just obtained for us to appreciate. Take advantage of the fact that there is still half an hour before the Dragon-Wood planet core comes out. We still have enough time to witness the elegance of the Dao Artifact." Old freak Blood Bat's voice suddenly became a bit impatient: "Jidu, will you take it out or not? Give a straight answer. Take out the Dao Artifact you just got, we share it equally, and I will let you join us, to share the Dragon-Wood planet core together. Let me tell you, there are far more people eyeing the Dragon-Wood planet core this time, including experts from the Xuanhuang Great World. With your meager cultivation, if you do not join hands with us, could it be you want to solo snatch the Dragon-Wood planet core?"
"What should I do? Fellow Daoist Fang Han, these three old freaks are combining to pressure me. If it were just one, I would not be afraid, I could stand as an equal. But against three joining hands, I am absolutely not their match." Dharma King Jidu hurriedly asked Fang Han.
"I will attach a Nascent Soul into your body to deal with these people." Fang Han already had an idea. He secretly shot his Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation into Dharma King Jidu's body, instantly seizing control of his body.
"Hmph! How could I possibly bring out a Dao Artifact I have in my hands." Fang Han, possessing Dharma King Jidu, sneered repeatedly: "Since I cannot obtain the Dragon-Wood planet core, I do not care. I will leave immediately right now. Could you actually manage to chase me down? In a word, I cannot obtain the Dragon-Wood planet core. Teaming up with you guys, let us obtain it together. After obtaining it, I will not covet that; I only want the Nascent Soul and main body of Daoist Dragon. How about it?"
Ancestor True Demon, Master Goulou, and that massive blood bat seemed to communicate for a moment, then suddenly burst into loud laughter: "Dharma King Jidu, you are indeed a character standing on equal footing with us. Very well, let us join forces. In a while, another group of formidable figures will come; they are Lu Lanpo, Elder Fuyun, Fairy Meixu, and Fairy Tongjiao of the Three Fairies and Two Elders. They also want to obtain the Dragon-Wood planet core."
"Is that so? The Three Fairies and Two Elders. Wasn't Fairy Ruyi killed by a Divine Ability Realm expert named Fang Han? Rumor has it that Daoist Mu of the Dragon-Wood Planet was also crossed over by this Fang Han. If he comes to snatch the Dragon-Wood planet core, that would be quite troublesome."
"Dharma King Jidu", possessed by Fang Han, said intentionally.
"That is nothing. We know this boy Fang Han will definitely come, which is why we allied together to take the opportunity to kill this boy. Only by obtaining his magical treasures can one truly dominate heaven and earth. Moreover, before coming, we received guidance from a supreme expert, setting up a grand killing formation again, waiting for this boy Fang Han."
Ancestor Blood Bat's voice remained elusive and uncertain.
"Received guidance from a supreme expert? Which supreme expert?" Fang Han was startled and hurriedly asked.
"Well, this cannot be revealed. In short, us joining forces this time, the first objective is to obtain the Dragon-Wood planet core, and the second is to wait for that Fang Han to come, and strike him a vicious blow while at it." Ancestor Blood Bat chuckled shrilly again.
"Alright, then I will listen to you all."
Dharma King Jidu gathered the surrounding Jidu Divine Smoke, preparing to descend onto the blood bat.
Right at this moment, swish swish swish! Swish swish swish!
Four astonishing long rainbows shuttled out from a cluster of turbulent meteorites, stopping directly outside the Heavenly Astral Atmosphere, facing the blood bat from afar. Unexpectedly, they were four more Giants of Antiquity; these were Lu Lanpo, Elder Fuyun, Fairy Meixu, and Fairy Tongjiao, two fairies and two elders. As soon as these four great giants saw the blood bat, Lu Lanpo among them laughed loudly: "So it is Fellow Daoist Jidu, Fellow Daoist True Demon, Fellow Daoist Goulou, and Fellow Daoist Blood Bat. Do not be nervous. We came this time not to fight with you over the Dragon-Wood planet core, but having received guidance from a supreme expert, we are here to wait for a junior and ambush and kill him. If we are able to successfully ambush and kill this junior, we absolutely do not want the Dragon-Wood planet core."
