Fang Han's current magical power was inconceivable. Even separated by thousands of miles, a distant palm strike could directly cause a massive mountain peak to explode and shatter into powder. This was generally an ability only Undying Body experts possessed; ordinary powerhouses at the first layer of the Longevity Secret Realm, the "Ten Thousand Years Realm", could not achieve this.
The bull monster that was instantly slain just now was a powerhouse at the ninth layer of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. However, it hadn't cultivated many divine abilities, only nine types, and four among them were still star divine abilities; it was unknown which Endless Star Palace disciple it killed to plunder the cultivation method.
Disciples of the Endless Star Palace hunted demons underground to earn contribution points; similarly, underground demons also hunted Endless Star Palace disciples to plunder Daoist books, medicinal pills, magical treasures, essence blood, and primordial energy.
From a thousand miles away, Fang Han sealed this bull monster with one palm, then wiped away its sentience, instantly turning the opponent into an empty shell. Its physical body was stored away, while its natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Form was decomposed, and the divine abilities were directly bestowed downward, driven into the golden cores of several Heavenly Demon Kings who had successfully cultivated golden cores.
As for some magical treasures refined by this bull monster, Fang Han grabbed and crushed them into pieces, decomposing them into the most foundational materials and spiritual energy, and integrating them into the Eight Division Float.
All of the Eight Division Float was now currently a Dao artifact, having opened the Dragon Realm, and all magical treasures had cohesively taken shape. The next step was to refine all the low-grade Dao artifacts into mid-grade Dao artifacts. That would be a vast project, more than a thousand times more difficult than before.
It required an immense amount of materials, an immense amount of primordial energy, and naturally, it also required Fang Han to successfully cultivate the Undying Body.
The reason Fang Han wanted to hunt demons underground now was, firstly, to earn contribution points, and secondly, to gather enough materials to accumulate for the Eight Division Float's next advancement.
For instance, some magical treasures refined by this bull monster, and some materials it had gathered, were directly plundered by Fang Han.
"This fourth underground layer is entirely filled with some powerful demons, but to me, it's simply a concentration of materials and treasures, completely at my disposal to claim."
Fang Han struck this bull monster dead with a single palm, bestowed its divine abilities to his subordinate celestial demons, kept its corpse, and decomposed its magical treasures into the Eight Division Float, wasting nothing at all. However, he did not stay as a result; killing one monster was simply a drop in the bucket.
Boom!
He stepped out with one stride, rotating four of the Three Thousand Great Daos: the Great Blood Soul Technique, the Great Star Technique, the Great Firmament Technique, and the Great Seal Technique. With himself as the center, the massive primordial energy formed a vortex. This vortex was fully three thousand miles across, radiating to every place.
"Primordial Energy Storm!"
Fang Han gave a violent shout, and this storm rotated intensely. Disaster descended upon the entire demon nation in the fourth underground layer.
"Bang bang bang…" Bang bang! A full thousand-plus monsters, the monsters within a radius of three thousand miles, were directly killed like this and swept into the storm. Their corpses were sealed, and their divine abilities were plundered and bestowed upon the numerous celestial demons within the Eight Division Float. What "Single-Horned White Python", "Black Hell Rhino", "Blood-Sucking Six-Winged Bat", "Ferocious Evil Mouse", "Underground Blood Wolf", and even "Black Water King Snake", "Golden-Clawed Evil Flood Dragon", "Great Strength White Bear", "Water Ape Demonic Monkey", "Heart-Devouring Flying Insect", "Iron-Backed Centipede", "Seven-Thread Silkworm", "Python-Swallowing Toad"… Of these powerful demon beasts and some monsters surviving in the underground, an unknown number were swept into it, all slain by Fang Han. Within the Yellow Springs Diagram, corpses piled up like mountains.
Moreover, around some demon beasts, there were often Heaven and Earth natural treasures, which were also plundered one by one by Fang Han and thrown into the Eight Division Furnace of the Eight Division Float to be smelted into a mass of primordial energy, used to nourish, transform, and repair the Eight Division Float itself.
However, in this radius of three thousand miles, there were only a scant two monsters that had cultivated golden cores; they were also sealed by Fang Han with a Great Seal Technique, and their golden cores dug out. One was a snake monster, and the other was a blood-colored bat. However, compared to Old Ancestor Blood Bat, they were far too lacking; their golden cores only contained five basic divine abilities.
Fang Han did not decompose these golden cores, but rather condensed them slightly, chaining them together with Chaos Divine Thunder Astral Energy. He was preparing to refine a divine thunder-shaped magical treasure.
Within the Great Chaos Thunder Technique, there was a secret method for refining treasures, which involved concentrating three thousand golden cores and then using the Chaos Thunder Technique to bless and refine them. This could lay down a great formation called the "All Heavens Chaos God-Incinerating Great Formation". Once an enemy was trapped, it would suddenly explode, sacrificing the destruction of the three thousand golden cores to thoroughly destroy the enemy. Even an Undying Body expert would find it hard to escape the disaster.
Undying Body experts were very hard to kill.
However, there were some secret Daoist techniques specifically designed against Undying Body powerhouses. For example, within the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual", there were several great formations specifically used to trap and kill Undying Bodies. Naturally, they were extremely difficult to refine.
The Great Chaos Thunder Technique, as a branch of the Three Thousand Great Daos' "Great Chaos Technique", specialized in the power of destruction and lethality. An existence of this high level naturally also possessed methods to threaten the life of an Undying Body.
Fang Han just happened to come underground, precisely to hunt some demons to refine several single-use formations of immense lethal power, to be used to deal with Undying Body experts in the future, or even experts who had comprehended spatial laws.
In almost just the time of a few breaths, Fang Han killed the demons within a radius of three thousand miles centered on himself completely clean, without a single trace of fierce and wicked aura remaining.
He was simply a giant meat grinder, a god of death arriving from the Yellow Springs Hell, harvesting lives.
However, just within these few exchanges, the massive aura of slaughter shocked some Demon Race armies stationed in the fourth underground layer. Eight thousand miles away, in a Demon Race army camp, countless brilliances shot up to the sky, and everywhere manifested the bright light of magical treasures as tens of thousands, densely packed shuras, flying yakshas, and Great Asuras soared into the air.
This army of the Earth Demon Race was not comparable to ordinary demons; they were well-trained demons. They each pushed their magical treasures, laying down one great formation after another.
Under normal circumstances, five experts at the fifth layer of the Divine Ability Realm, the Heaven and Human Realm, could not do anything to a golden core expert. But if coordinated through formation techniques, laying down a great formation and being well-trained, piercing the astral energy and divine abilities into a single point, it would be different, fully capable of contending.
This demon army stationed in the fourth underground layer consisted of hundreds of thousands, among which the lowest level were flying yakshas. Once they flew out, they instantly arranged tens of great formations, one linked to another, formations connecting, demonic energy tumbling; they actually condensed into one giant demon after another, pouncing and killing towards Fang Han.
Within the hundreds of thousands strong Earth Demon army, there were also golden core powerhouses. At a glance, Fang Han saw a full several tens of Great Asura powerhouses at the golden core level, each suppressing a formation eye of the great formations. The golden cores bobbed within the limitless demonic energy, linked together, securely indestructible, fully capable of contending against the full-force strike of an eternal giant!
It wasn't that Fang Han hadn't seen Earth Demons before; in the underground of the Xuanhuang Great World, there were an unknown number of hundreds of millions in the Demon Race. But in comparison, the Demon Race in the Promise Great World was still far more well-trained. Moreover, clearly, their weapons and magical treasures were much more sophisticated.
"The Demon Race in the Promise Great World has quite profound array coordination. These are array upon array of 'Minor Heavens Guardian Formations', twenty-four of them, representing the twenty-four Heavens. Each great formation will transform into a Heaven Guardian Demon God. Joined together, they are fully capable of resisting an eternal giant!"
With a single glance, Fang Han saw what kind of formation technique was laid out in this camp.
Even though these twenty-four Minor Heavens Guardian Formations concentrated the power of hundreds of thousands of Earth Demons and could resist an eternal giant, Fang Han's current power was equivalent to eighteen eternal giants joining hands, the power of one billion eight hundred million galloping fierce horses.
Seeing the layer upon layer of great formations, he did not utilize any magical treasures, but simply struck out a palm across a vast distance. Once again, it was the Hand of the Heavens from the Great Firmament Technique.
This Hand of the Heavens was as massive as a mountain ridge, entwined with various Heavenly auras that looked down upon everything, as if the Creator was dissatisfied with the world he had created and wished to re-establish a new world.
After Fang Han obtained God Emperor Wu Shitian's "Great Firmament Technique" and integrated it into his body, now fully spurred by his profound magical power, it was a full three to five times more formidable than God Emperor Wu Shitian.
"Pop!" Pop! Pop!
This massive camp stationed underground was routed by Fang Han's single palm strike! Those twenty-four Minor Heavens Guardian Formations shattered one by one like eggs. Some flying yakshas and shuras that lacked magical power and divine abilities and solely relied on spiritual artifacts to operate all exploded. They became a cloud of blood mist and were then absorbed by the Hand of the Heavens. The corpses of the Demon Race rained down, densely packed, piling up like mountains on the dark ground.
Only some powerful golden core Great Asuras were still struggling to resist.
However, Fang Han would not give them any chances. Sweeping away all obstacles, his fingers flicked continuously. A full twenty-four Great Asura Demon Kings who had cultivated golden cores were directly sealed, forcibly grabbed in his hand, and pulled into the Eight Division Float.
In the blink of an eye, this firmly indestructible large army that had been stationed underground for many years was destroyed just like that.
"Many celestial demons, Demon Kings, go clean up the aftermath!"
Fang Han gave the Eight Division Float a pat. Ten million celestial demons and five thousand Heavenly Demon Kings surged out like a tide, pouring downward. However, these celestial demons did not possess a gloomy demonic aura; they all flashed with a golden light, like Arhats and Buddhas. After flying out, well-trained and perfectly orderly, they exterminated the remaining Earth Demons, and moved all the corpses, materials, and damaged spiritual and treasure artifacts into the Eight Division Float.
"Not bad, Daoist Wood's training methods are effective. Continuing like this, these celestial demons will sooner or later become an important combat force for me!" Fang Han nodded repeatedly.
First these celestial demons consumed Black God Pills, then underwent the blessings of the Eight Parts True Dragon Energy and the Buddha light of the Buddha Realm, and further absorbed enough chaotic flesh and blood; their forms were stable and they were no longer simply demons. Moreover, they were incomparably valiant, their minds free of distracting thoughts, single-mindedly devoted to refined cultivation, commanded as easily as an arm. Especially the chaotic flesh and blood, which could greatly enhance potential, making future cultivation even more rapidly progressive.
Now, these celestial demons surged out like a tide; every five celestial demons condensed into a small formation, and every five small formations formed a minuscule pattern. Every five patterns condensed into a runic character.
At a glance, these ten million celestial demons formed a densely packed massive scripture covering a thousand miles in radius.
This was the formation technique within the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual, the Eight Divisions Dragon Emperor Scripture Great Formation.
Just as these celestial demons laid out the great formation and scavenged for magical treasures and corpse remains, suddenly, from the dark abyss in the distance, a massive demonic shadow carrying a destructive aura grabbed with a demonic hand, and expansive demonic fire spanning a thousand zhang burned towards these celestial demons.
