Young Master Chu Nan executed the Divine Emperor's martial art staff technique and urged the Emperor Indra Scepter, positioning himself high above like a tyrant dominating the world as he struck downwards. For a time, his imposing might was unstoppable, and he unexpectedly broke Fang Han's Great Chaos Lightning Sword.
A Divine Emperor was equivalent to a Holy Demon among the Demon Race or an Immortal in the Immortal Dao. They were far more terrifying than figures at the tenth level of the Longevity Mystic Realm.
The martial art divine abilities created by such figures were probably truly no different from the Three Thousand Great Daos.
For Fang Han's Great Chaos Lightning Sword to unleash its strongest might, it still needed the coordination of a set of sword techniques. The Great Chaos Art was among the Three Thousand Great Daos and contained many types of chaotic methods, and the Great Chaos Lightning Method was only one of them. Its status was equivalent to that of the Black Sun Wind Disaster or the Great Sun Fire Disaster within the "Great Disaster Art," merely being a branch.
Fang Han had only learned the "Great Chaos Lightning Method" and had not learned the sword techniques within it.
Therefore, even having reached the Longevity Mystic Realm, it was impossible for him to unleash the might of the Great Chaos Lightning Sword to a peerlessly terrifying boundary.
However, Young Master Chu Nan could. By executing the Divine Emperor staff technique in coordination with the "Emperor Indra Scepter," the feeling he gave off was as if a Divine Emperor had possessed his body.
Furthermore, above his head, Fang Han could see a pitch-black cavity directly opening up. From within, a viscous liquid carrying a colored luster flowed down and entered his body.
This was a channel to the "Void God Realm." Young Master Chu Nan, just like God Emperor Hate Heaven, had unexpectedly opened the "Void God Realm"! From within it, he endlessly drew out the power of gods to replenish himself and eradicate his enemies.
If one were of the pure God Race, they could only open the "Void God Realm" and could not open the Immortal Realm. Nor could they communicate with the Immortal Realm. This was the sole weakness of the God Race.
However, as a half-blood of the God Race, it was unknown what means his father, the Star Emperor, and his mother, a female God Emperor, had utilized to make him half-human and half-god, allowing him to cultivate Dao arts and communicate with both the Immortal Realm and the Void God Realm.
That was why this Young Master Chu Nan was so formidable.
He could be called the number one figure Fang Han had encountered since his debut. He was far more formidable than Su Xiuyi's avatar.
The Great Chaos Lightning Sword and the Emperor Indra Scepter clashed together once again.
Fang Han's body retreated explosively! He felt as if a thousand massive mountains had been pressed upon his Great Chaos Lightning Sword in an instant. It was unexpectedly incomparably difficult for him to even urge it.
"It's useless. Do you think retreating can allow you to avoid my suppression? Once the Divine Emperor staff technique is executed, no one can escape it. Transfer of a Thousand Mountains!"
Having knocked Fang Han back, Young Master Chu Nan chased after him with large strides. Every step he took carried hundreds and thousands of strange musical rhymes, as if the sound of the Great Dao was blooming. It also sounded like a Divine Emperor in the boundless expanse uttering a voice that made the mental states of all immortals, demons, buddhas, and monsters tremble with fear.
The staff shadows of the "Emperor Indra Scepter" danced about. Those staff shadows truly transformed into the images of a thousand massive mountains and forcibly oppressed toward Fang Han. The overlapping mountain shadows covered all the space.
Break!
Fang Han vigorously brandished the Great Chaos Lightning Sword, forcibly severing layer upon layer of mountain shadows. But every sword strike consumed a massive amount of his power, because the suppression of every single mountain shadow transformed by the Emperor Indra Scepter was equivalent to a genuinely massive mountain.
"Submersion of Ten Thousand Waters!"
Seeing Fang Han cut apart the phantom images of his thousand massive mountains, Young Master Chu Nan remained completely unmoving. Taking another step forward with awe-inspiring divine might, the Emperor Indra Scepter swept out. Splash, splash… Within the staff shadows, thousands of rivers appeared and came rolling down in a pouring torrent.
A thousand mountains, ten thousand waters!
"This Divine Emperor staff technique of Young Master Chu Nan, coordinating with the Emperor Indra Scepter, truly brings out the best in each other. With my current cultivation base, coping with it is quite strenuous. Truly worthy of a powerhouse with an Undying Body. It seems I can only use my ultimate move!"
Fang Han withdrew the Great Chaos Lightning Sword to protect his own body, silently chanted incantations, and circulated his divine abilities. Suddenly, he opened both eyes, and three thousand streaks of essential light flashed across his body, as if he had opened three thousand eyes simultaneously.
At the same time, his grand chanting resounded cleanly.
"Great destiny! The destiny that overrides the heavens! Your power is omnipresent, and all things must obey your rules. No one can escape your bindings, and no existence can escape your rule. You are the master of all things, and you are the ruler of the heavens! You have no beginning and no end, you carry everything, and your radiance shines upon eternity. I now use your name and borrow your power to penalize those who completely resist your rule…"
Amidst the syllables of this chanting, Fang Han's lifespan burned rapidly. One hundred years, two hundred years, five hundred years, eight hundred years, one thousand years!
Fully a thousand years of his lifespan began to burn.
Then, this burned lifespan penetrated into the boundless void and drew upon a mysterious power; that was the "Power of Destiny." This power of destiny condensed at Fang Han's fingertip into a flashing and jumping cluster of light converging from tens of millions of colors.
Boom!
By burning a thousand years of lifespan, Fang Han mobilized the "Minor Destiny Art" and pointed out with one finger!
Bang!
The heavens collapsed, the earth cracked open, and the sun and moon lost their light.
Under the blessing of this power, Fang Han's entire body seemed to grow tall at this moment, filling and permeating heaven and earth. And the power of destiny condensed on his pointing finger flashed continuously. Even the flesh and blood of the Chaotic Origin Embryo all around seemed to feel some fear, shrinking back and collapsing downward.
The Chaotic Origin Embryo was actually afraid, afraid of the aura of this divine ability.
The Minor Destiny Art was a divine ability related to the Great Destiny Art. It was even more miraculous than Immortal Venerable Linglong's Great Wish Art. After cultivating it to the extreme, it was an inconceivable divine ability of fortune that could reverse destiny and change life and death.
Although Fang Han's cultivation of it was currently shallow, he had, after all, stepped into the Longevity Mystic Realm and become an Eternal Giant. His understanding of the Minor Destiny Art had undergone an earth-shaking shift compared to before.
Furthermore, when executing the "Minor Destiny Art," the power of destiny he called upon from the boundless void and condensed into runes held a far greater might than before, and consumed less lifespan.
"Those who betray destiny must suffer the punishment of destiny!"
Fang Han's voice grew louder and louder. Even the flesh and blood of the "Chaotic Origin Embryo" all around condensed into multiple mouths and bloody maws under his voice, letting out the exact same sound as him.
At this moment, it was not merely his voice; the entire heaven and earth and all the origin energy resonance with him. The flesh and blood of the Chaotic Origin Embryo also resonated with him.
"Destiny! Destiny! Punishment, punishment!"
Under the power of Fang Han's Minor Destiny Art, multiple terrifying bloody maws appeared on the flesh and blood of the Chaotic Origin Embryo, shouting, roaring, and crying out with sentience. Seeing this scene, Young Master Chu Nan's expression completely changed. Just as he was about to speak, Fang Han pointed out with one finger.
"Woo woo woo, woo woo woo…"
The power at the fingertip slammed out like a comet and directly struck the "Emperor Indra Scepter." At this moment, the artifact spirit upon this Divine Emperor's scepter also began to tremble, seemingly in terror, seemingly in fear, as if it had run into its absolute nemesis.
As Fang Han pointed out with his finger, the Divine Emperor staff technique was immediately terminated and could no longer be executed down.
"Pop!"
Struck by Fang Han's finger, that "Emperor Indra Scepter" flew up high and unexpectedly separated from Young Master Chu Nan's grasp. It was completely jolted to the point of leaving his hand.
"How is this possible, how is this possible!" Young Master Chu Nan's body rapidly shifted, and powerful divine intent flashed, blessing the "Emperor Indra Scepter" in an attempt to make this upper-grade Dao artifact scepter return to his side. He had also completely subdued the artifact spirit of the "Emperor Indra Scepter" because this scepter had been left to him by his mother, that mysterious female God Emperor.
However, Fang Han did not give him this opportunity at all.
"The power of destiny is everywhere. Heaven and earth exist because of destiny, space-time operates because of destiny, the stars change because of destiny, and karmic ties hold meaning because of destiny. Any existence that attempts to escape the control of destiny is bound to sink and be destroyed permanently."
After sending the Emperor Indra Scepter flying with one finger, Fang Han spread open his five fingers, and five streaks of essential light appeared on his palm. It was the Minor Destiny Art again! For each streak of essential light, he burned a full five hundred years of lifespan to mobilize the power of destiny.
These five streaks of essential light grabbed directly toward the Emperor Indra Scepter and dispersed all the origin energy Young Master Chu Nan was currently manifesting.
Pfft! He forcefully grabbed the Emperor Indra Scepter within the essential light in one go.
The artifact spirit of this Emperor Indra Scepter struggled violently, wanting to break free and fly away, but beneath the essential light of the Minor Destiny Art, it appeared exceptionally terrified, deeply afraid that this essential light would penetrate inside.
"Originally, it would be impossible for me to subdue an upper-grade Dao artifact, but this Emperor Indra Scepter is a treasure of the God Race, heavily countered entirely by my World Tree!" Once Fang Han grabbed the "Emperor Indra Scepter" in his hand, he completely sensed it immediately. If he wanted to thoroughly subdue this treasure, he would need to consume at least ten thousand years of lifespan to circulate the Minor Destiny Art, which was absolutely not worth it.
Just grabbing this Emperor Indra Scepter in his hand had consumed a full two thousand and five hundred years of lifespan. Jolting it away from Young Master Chu Nan's hand had used one thousand years of lifespan.
Originally, upon promoting to an Eternal Giant and stepping into the Longevity Mystic Realm, Fang Han had a lifespan of thirty-six thousand years, comparable to those tyrannical figures at the second level of the Longevity Mystic Realm who possessed an Undying Body. But right now, in a mere instant, he had consumed three thousand and five hundred years of lifespan. However, being able to cleanly capture the Emperor Indra Scepter in his hand could be considered compensation.
However, the moment the "Emperor Indra Scepter" was captured in his hand, it vibrated fiercely and could fundamentally not be suppressed. It also contained the inherent will of Young Master Chu Nan within it.
If he let it completely fly away, then Fang Han's three thousand and five hundred years of lifespan would be wasted completely for nothing. This was one-tenth of his entire life after all. The price was truly too vast.
Naturally, Fang Han could not allow it to fly away.
"World Tree! Suppress for me! Yellow Spring Diagram! Suppress for me!" Fang Han did not even think; the origin energy of the World Tree enveloped this "Emperor Indra Scepter," and subsequently, the Gates of Avici opened its bloody maw and purely swallowed this upper-grade Dao artifact inside.
To suppress an upper-grade Dao artifact, one definitely had to possess a treasure that was far more formidable than it.
The intrinsic essence of the Yellow Spring Diagram was a supreme-grade Dao artifact, naturally capable of entirely suppressing the "Emperor Indra Scepter." However, this was merely suppressing it; even while inside, the Emperor Indra Scepter could still stir up trouble and make waves.
"Hmph! Do you think suppressing my Emperor Indra Scepter means you completely obtain this magic treasure of mine? That is courting your own death." Young Master Chu Nan was utterly furious. However, his mind still had a connection with the Emperor Indra Scepter, and he was not afraid in the slightest. He rapidly continuously urged it, fully wanting the Emperor Indra Scepter to break through the bindings of the Yellow Spring Diagram!
