Eternal-Life

Deciding the Victor (Part 1)

Inside the Diagram of the Yellow Springs!

A scepter bearing an aura of rulership dashed back and forth within the black energy. With every impact, an aura akin to a bursting flash flood was mixed in. Several embedded gemstones on the scepter sparkled brightly, and the Avici demonic energy that attempted to wrap around this scepter actually began to be refined and dissipated into nothingness one after another.

There had never been a magical treasure that could refine the Avici demonic energy.

But now, the aura on the Indra Scepter caused damage to the Avici demonic energy.

Fortunately, however, a World Tree flew into the Avici demonic energy and blocked the scepter's charging slaughter. Logically speaking, the power of the World Tree was far inferior to this high-grade Dao artifact, the Indra Scepter. Yet, beyond anyone's expectations, the Indra Scepter did not dare to resist the World Tree at all. With every strike, as the green light from the World Tree brushed over the Indra Scepter, a trace of aura on the scepter would be diminished.

This was a nemesis.

Yan's thousand-zhang-long body wandered within the Avici demonic energy, its claws constantly shifting, casting out many runes to completely suppress the Indra Scepter in coordination with the World Tree.

However, from the Indra Scepter, Young Master Chu Nan's voice was transmitted: "You wish to refine my treasure. This Indra Scepter is a supreme treasure of the God Race, and its mental connection with me is unbreakable. Any action of yours is futile!"

"Is that so? Once entering the Diagram of the Yellow Springs, one is destined never to turn back. Entering the path of reincarnation, all past ties are severed. Of the existences that have entered the Diagram of the Yellow Springs, there has never been a precedent of one coming out."

Yan continuously let out long roars: "Searching the blue heavens above and the Yellow Springs below, in both vast expanses, nothing can be seen!"

Even more intense Avici demonic energy rolled in overbearingly.

Even in the deepest depths of the Diagram of the Yellow Springs, a place where not even Fang Han's divine sense could reach, the shadow of a wheel seemed to be squeezing through endless space and time, about to manifest itself.

Yan remained inside this Diagram of the Yellow Springs, engaging in an endless struggle with the "Indra Scepter."

Fang Han unleashed the "Little Fatalism," expending three thousand five hundred years of his lifespan to instantly knock the "Indra Scepter" out of Young Master Chu Nan's hands, then grabbed it, threw it into the Diagram of the Yellow Springs, and suppressed it.

With this move, he gained the upper hand completely and thoroughly.

Young Master Chu Nan could be said to be leaping with thunderous rage.

This "Indra Scepter" possessed immense power. Although it did not have as many functions and profundities as the Star Emperor Dragon Bed, its destructive power was unmatched by anything. When he usually competed with ordinary experts of the Undying Body, he would execute the Divine Emperor Staff Technique with the Indra Scepter; with a single strike, the enemy's magical treasure would shatter and the person would be heavily injured.

But now, not only had it failed to harm Fang Han, but it had instead been sealed up. How could he not be thunderously enraged with smoke coming out of his seven orifices?

He, Young Master Chu Nan, as the Hall Master of the Big Dipper Hall in the Wu Ji Star Palace, had roamed unhindered across the world for an unknown number of years. This was his first time suffering a loss. And it was a loss at the hands of a salted fish.

Indeed, Fang Han was playing the part of a salted fish turning over.

Originally, Fang Han was being slaughtered by him and was on the verge of being refined, but because of the "World Tree," he absorbed the power from his "Kingdom of Gods" domain. He actually broke through the final bottleneck, reaching the Longevity Secret Realm. All of his accumulations transformed into power and lifespan, instantly increasing by ten times, actually managing to push him to his current state instead.

This was something he could not imagine, could not predict. It was completely unexpected.

"Divine Emperor Divine Sense! Break the obstacles!"

Young Master Chu Nan gathered his divine sense to connect with the Indra Scepter on one hand, while fiercely waving the other hand to recall the Star Emperor Dragon Bed, knocking away the Eight部 Pagoda. Originally, the Star Emperor Dragon Bed and the Eight部 Pagoda were inextricably engaged in combat, the two great magical treasures fighting fiercely in the center.

For the Star Emperor Dragon Bed, as a high-grade Dao artifact, to exchange blows with nine great giants through the ages without falling into a disadvantage was already considered a heaven-shaking might.

Now, it was abruptly summoned back by Young Master Chu Nan. Young Master Chu Nan directly spat out a mouthful of pure Yang vitality, and then, a treasure pouch within his body was opened. Mountains of pure Yang pills within it all began to combust at this moment.

There were a full thirty million pills!

Thirty million pure Yang pills was the limit that a high-grade Dao artifact could devour in an instant. When an ordinary low-grade Dao artifact swallowed a million pure Yang pills to go completely berserk, the artifact spirit inside faced the risk of being incinerated.

An intermediate-grade Dao artifact could swallow between three million to five million pure Yang pills at once. If any more, the artifact spirit would be damaged.

A high-grade Dao artifact was different. In an instant, it could swallow thirty million pure Yang pills, causing both the Dao artifact's spirit and its main body to go thoroughly berserk.

What was the concept of thirty million pure Yang pills?

In the Xuanhuang Great World, it equated to three hundred billion white Yang pills. A sum that could nearly bankrupt the Yuhua Sect directly. It required the vitality accumulated by a giant through the ages, not eating or drinking, with no personal consumption, cultivating bitterly for a thousand years.

If this giant through the ages had to consume for themselves, they probably wouldn't be able to accumulate thirty million pure Yang pills in ten thousand years.

Now, Young Master Chu Nan brought out so many pure Yang pills at once and fed them all to the "Star Emperor Dragon Bed." It could be called a super grand gesture.

However, the maximum accommodation limit of a high-grade Dao artifact was precisely holding the power of thirty million pure Yang pills at one time. If it were a supreme-grade Dao artifact, it could accommodate endlessly.

For things like the Diagram of the Yellow Springs or the Gate of Avici, they devoured medicinal pills without even blinking; they could swallow any amount of medicinal pills.

Under the urging of thirty million pure Yang pills, the Star Emperor Dragon Bed displayed absolute power. The dragon bed expanded and enlarged at once, shaking the void. Waves of intense space-time storms actually blew out from the dragon bed. The star core atop it suddenly expanded, radiating intense heat, high temperature, and a stellar storm like the sun.

The star core possessed extremely terrifying power internally. If it truly erupted completely, even an expert with an Undying Body could be melted.

Of course, this was not the kind of star core like the Dragon Wood Star Core that had not evolved into a star.

Rather, it was an existence like the sun. Even an expert with an Undying Body would not dare to venture into the interior of the sun.

But now, Young Master Chu Nan directly combusted thirty million pure Yang pills, spurring the star core on the Star Emperor Dragon Bed, showing a trend of evolving into a star.

Naturally, this was only a temporary phenomenon. Once a star core was refined, it could never become a star. However, the exact power erupting in this fraction of a second was enough to make an ordinary giant through the ages at the first tier of the Longevity Secret Realm, the Ten Thousand Lifespan Realm, directly evaporate from the human world, while an expert at the second tier, the Undying Body, could also be heavily injured by it.

In an instant, Fang Han felt as if a blazing sun had exploded right in front of him. Everywhere was bathed in a golden-gilt brilliance, and his own body showed a tendency to melt.

His natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol exerted all its effort to open its three thousand demonic eyes, but it had no effect whatsoever.

The three thousand demonic eyes were all unable to see through this swath of brilliance. It was as if the sun had descended; he felt as though he was positioned inside the very core of the sun! His half Undying Body had the sensation of directly evaporating!

"Is this the power of a high-grade Dao artifact? The power of combusting thirty million pure Yang pills. If I had known a star core possessed such immense power, I wouldn't have merged it into my body. What a pity, what a pity!" At this moment, Fang Han still thought in his heart that refining the Dragon Wood Star Core was a pity.

However, although he felt it was a pity in his heart, his hands were not weak in the slightest. Within the Diagram of the Yellow Springs, there were fully forty to fifty million pure Yang pills! They combusted directly.

"Fang Han, no! You only have that many pure Yang pills on you, and you want to burn them all completely! Burn them all completely! Fang Han, you are truly mad!"

Within the Diagram of the Yellow Springs, Yan let out frantic roars.

It was originally suppressing the Indra Scepter and engaging in a magical duel with the scepter, but seeing mountains of pure Yang medicinal pills stored within the Diagram of the Yellow Springs fly out and thoroughly combust, it could not help but feel it was an extreme pity.

The medicinal pills on Fang Han, subtracting the thirty million inside the Dragon Transformation Gourd that had been devoured, now had fifty million remaining. This was the total wealth looted from passing over Patriarch Formless, Cang Yingzi, Luo Shuibei, Patriarch Flying Heaven, and Patriarch Heavenly Dipper.

This was also all the wealth and inventory Fang Han had on him.

Yet, at this exact moment, Fang Han combusted them all.

A full fifty million pure Yang medicinal pills burned directly. The pure Yang power and vitality flames produced caused the Gate of Avici, the Bridge of Helplessness, and even the entire Great River of the Yellow Springs within the Diagram of the Yellow Springs to begin trembling. This was not a tremble of fear, but a tremble of excitement.

The Diagram of the Yellow Springs was not a high-grade Dao artifact; it was a genuine supreme-grade Dao artifact, an absolutely authentic supreme-grade Dao artifact. Let alone the power of fifty million pure Yang medicinal pills combusting at once, even if one hundred million or a billion pure Yang pills completely burned directly, it could withstand it.

The difference between a supreme-grade Dao artifact and a high-grade Dao artifact simply could not be compared.

Even an expert of the caliber of Taihuangtian would take an unknown number of years to forge a supreme-grade Dao artifact. A figure like Emperor Yellow Springs, who was already an immortal and had cultivated to become a saint demon, spent five to six thousand years forging the Diagram of the Yellow Springs.

As for the Qunxing Sect and the Yuhua Sect, they essentially utilized the entire power of the sect over several generations just to forge a single mountain gate.

Fifty million!

A full fifty million pure Yang medicinal pills burned directly. With a turn of Fang Han's thoughts, these pure Yang flames directly permeated into the depths of the Diagram of the Yellow Springs, into every secret place.

The Diagram of the Yellow Springs had many hidden places containing infinite space and time, which Fang Han basically had no possibility to investigate, nor the power to get to the bottom of. For example, that massive Wheel of Reincarnation; it required "one trillion" pure Yang medicinal pills just to manifest the phantom of the Wheel of Reincarnation, and he did not even know where it was.

However, now that exactly fifty million pure Yang pills had combusted, the resulting power allowed Fang Han to clearly see many, many secret places within the Diagram of the Yellow Springs all at once.

In his eyes, deep within the Diagram of the Yellow Springs, there were actually densely packed, folded layers of space and time. Atop each layer of space and time, there was the phantom of a large lock. It seemed as though it was chaining an ancient world-destroying god; the moment the shackles were opened, this ancient god would emerge to destroy the world.

Furthermore, Fang Han seemingly truly saw that within the depths of that infinite space and time and infinite shackles, a wheel as vast as the sun and moon, possessing an aura like the Xuanhuang Great World, sat in silence.

This wheel was precisely the Wheel of Reincarnation.

The true core location of the Diagram of the Yellow Springs. Once opened, it would immediately possess the power of reincarnation, giving Fang Han the capital to establish a great sect like the Yuhua Sect.

Once this Wheel of Reincarnation was opened, things like the Yuhua Heavenly Palace, the Immemorial Meteorite of the Qunxing Sect, or even the Sumeru Golden Mountain of the Linglong Blessed Land would all have to bow down in defeat.
