"The magical power of the Linglong Daluo Heavens is truly miraculous. Even the Lesser Destiny Technique actually cannot swallow it. However, I still have many magical powers; I will let the Lesser Destiny Technique swallow them all first."
In order to enhance the might of the "Lesser Destiny Technique", Fang Han could not care about much else. With a movement of his divine sense, those magical powers stored in the Eight Parts Pagoda all flew out; regardless of whether they were good or bad, they were all swallowed by the Lesser Destiny Technique.
The first to fly out was the Source Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol of the eldest disciple of the Greedy Wolf Palace, Li Yunsheng, containing forty kinds of magical powers. Among them were many formidable star magical powers, such as "Greedy Wolf Star-Moon Breaker", "Nine Stars Sun-Moon Explosion", "Star Force Heavenly Attraction Art", and "Profound Mechanism Ten Stars Manifestation". However, none were a match for the Lesser Destiny Technique and were swallowed one by one.
After swallowing Li Yunsheng's forty kinds of magical powers, the runes of the Lesser Destiny Technique practically condensed into substance, making its swallowing of the "Linglong Daluo Heavens" even more ferocious.
Crunch!
A large piece of the rune of the Linglong Daluo Heavens magical power was actually forcefully bitten off by the Lesser Destiny Technique.
"Great opportunity! I have always felt that for me, the existence of the Linglong Daluo Heavens magical power within the Source Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol is extremely uncoordinated. If it is swallowed by the Lesser Destiny Technique, not only can it purify the Source Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, but it also seems it can eliminate some hidden dangers."
Seeing this scene, Fang Han hurriedly urged his power, flying out the thirty-three supreme magical powers left behind by Divine Emperor Wu Shitian. They were all swallowed by the "Lesser Destiny Technique".
Although the thirty-three supreme magical powers left behind by Divine Emperor Wu Shitian were not of the Three Thousand Great Daos, they were also extremely formidable. Fang Han recognized a few that were recorded in ancient Daoist books, such as "Desolate Ancient Divine Power Palm", "Sorcerer Ancestor Nine Plow Claw", and "Ancient Court Void Quake"… These were all highly ancient, long-lost immemorial Dao techniques independently created by some formidable ancient figures approaching the level of immortals or sacred demons.
Although these Dao techniques were not as exquisite as the Three Thousand Great Daos in nearing the origin, some of them possessed sheer might that was even above all the lower-ranked Three Thousand Great Daos.
In ancient times, there were some formidable figures with overwhelming ambitions, figures akin to "Daoist Hongmeng" and "Linglong Immortal Venerable". They thoroughly understood the secrets of the Three Thousand Great Daos, yet wished to transcend the scope of the Three Thousand Great Daos. Thus, they racked their brains to create magical powers.
These magical powers were also no trivial matter, possessing the miraculous utility of operating the profound mechanisms of the sun and moon.
The thirty-three supreme magical powers of Divine Emperor Wu Shitian were all of this level. Once thoroughly swallowed by the "Lesser Destiny Technique", a new change instantly occurred.
"People who attempt to escape destiny, you all should receive your rightful resting place…" Suddenly, Fang Han felt that within his Lesser Destiny Technique, an unclear and inexplicable voice faintly resounded. It seemed like destiny, existing since antiquity, speaking, and also seemed like his own sigh.
In an instant, Fang Han had a feeling of merging into the long river of destiny, penetrating the ancient and the modern.
After swallowing these magical powers, Fang Han's power skyrocketed once again!
It swelled to a full sheer force of two billion galloping fierce horses! Two billion! This was already the limit of the Immortal Body. Back then, when the incarnation morphed by Su Xiuyi executed its maximum power, it was exactly the force of two billion galloping fierce horses, equivalent to twenty immemorial heavenly dragons. This kind of power clearly approached the stage of being able to move small stars.
Severing rivers, moving mountain ranges, destroying nations, and altering continental plates were all easily accomplished tasks.
However, the only regret was that his lifespan did not increase; currently, he still had a lifespan of sixty-four thousand years.
After the "Lesser Destiny Technique" swallowed numerous magical powers, it became even more formidable. The runes transformed once more, turning into a distorted space-time vibrating incessantly. From within, billions of kinds of chanting transmitted out; it was unknown what kind of song it was, resembling heavenly soundwaves, and also resembling the prayers and wishes of all living beings in heaven and earth, even more resembling the karma of reincarnation.
Under this continuous vibration, after waves of unwillingness, the "Linglong Daluo Heavens" magical power was still reduced to nothingness by the powerful force of destiny.
Having refined the "Linglong Daluo Heavens" in one swoop, Fang Han felt that his entire Source Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol was exceptionally clear and refreshed! An unprecedented feeling of relaxation washed over him, as if he had laid down some thousand-catty burden. With a slight movement, origin energy was instantly generated; with a slight breath, Immortal Realm origin energy moved nimbly and freely. The speed at which he refined Pure Yang origin energy was even faster.
"Truly relaxing! I have finally completely refined all my magical powers anew, and my power has not weakened, but instead increased. Furthermore, with a casual turn, I can still execute various magical powers."
Fang Han was naturally very happy in his heart.
Ordinary experts, after reaching the Longevity Secret Realm, would re-cultivate their magical powers, abandoning some inferior ones, making the Source Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol purer, and then impetuously charge at the Immortal Body.
However, after re-cultivating magical powers, there would be a trough in power, requiring slow cultivation to gradually grow back and then break through.
But right now, Fang Han had not only purified his Source Heaven and Earth Dharma Idol, but also elevated his power to a limit once again. This was all the might of the "Lesser Destiny Technique".
"I really want to test it. With my current power, what are my chances of winning against this Holy Maiden of the Holy Maiden Palace? Can I contend?" Once the cultivation was successful, Fang Han felt his power reaching an unprecedented peak, and his thoughts immediately began to churn.
"No, I'm afraid not. After all, I have not yet broken through to the Immortal Body. Even if I broke through to the Immortal Body, I wouldn't have much chance of winning against a person at the third level of the Longevity Secret Realm who has comprehended spatial laws. Of course, once the Yellow Spring Diagram is restored, it will be a different story."
After some thought, he decided it was better not to act rashly.
Right at the moment Fang Han re-condensed his magical powers and the Lesser Destiny Technique ultimately swallowed the Linglong Daluo Heavens, far away in the Xuanhuang Great World, across an unknown number of trillions of miles, within a mysterious distorted space-time, a woman sat.
This woman, dressed in men's clothing, looked like a beautiful youth. It was precisely the current number one expert of the Xuanhuang Great World, Linglong Immortal Venerable! Having cultivated to an exceedingly high realm, she executed the Great Wish Technique and defeated the people of Taihuangtian.
"Destiny… Destiny… is actually this miraculous! It seems my Linglong Daluo Heavens still has flaws. And quite a few flaws, far incomparable to the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao! However, that Fang Han's growth has exceeded my expectations. To achieve such high accomplishments so quickly, though cultivating to the Longevity Secret Realm is merely just the beginning. How far can he actually walk in the river of destiny? Since antiquity, geniuses like him have been as numerous as carp crossing a river, all disappearing and sinking away in the river of destiny. Will there come a day when I will also sink away?"
Linglong Immortal Venerable slightly furrowed her brows, seeming to be pondering something, while simultaneously speaking to herself.
"We are all struggling within destiny. Even Daoist Hongmeng did not break free from the shackles of destiny. The numerous immemorial great powers, supreme heavenly monarchs, and creation immortal kings of the Immortal Realm must all await the judgment of destiny, unable to achieve eternal, inextinguishable life."
Suddenly, right within this distorted space-time of Linglong Immortal Venerable, a voice was transmitted out, and a patch of demonic cloud gradually permeated in.
"Heart Demon Old Man! You still couldn't resist coming to look for me. Could it be that you wish to obtain the cultivation method of my Great Wish Technique?" Linglong Immortal Venerable did not mind, but spoke towards this patch of demonic cloud.
"Swoosh!"
This patch of demonic cloud immediately began to shrink, ultimately turning into an elderly old man entirely dressed in black, his skin deeply furrowed with wrinkles.
This old man was astonishingly the Heart Demon Old Man! The incarnation of the Supreme Heart Demon, a figure who had cultivated the Great Heart Demon Technique to its extremity.
"Linglong Immortal Venerable, you made me search quite hard. I expended a full ten thousand years of lifespan just to find the resting place of your origin spirit within this virtual space-time." The Heart Demon Old Man widely assessed the surrounding distorted space-time, shook his head, then nodded again; it was unknown what meaning he intended to express.
"You can infinitely plunder the lifespans of living beings; what does a loss of ten thousand years of lifespan count for." Linglong Immortal Venerable said: "You indeed have the qualifications to converse with me, so I won't expel you. However, the Great Wish Technique is the foundation of my cultivation. If you want it, you must pay a sufficient price."
"How about an immortal artifact?" The Heart Demon Old Man chuckled.
"You what what?" Linglong Immortal Venerable stood up.
"I said, how about an immortal artifact?"
"An immortal artifact is sufficient to suppress the heavens, but this immortal artifact is not that easy to take, right?" Linglong Immortal Venerable said: "Speak, what exactly is the matter. I can't be bothered to waste dharma power calculating."
"Limitless Great World."
The Heart Demon Old Man sat down cross-legged and uttered five words.
"Are you talking about the Hunyuan Wuji Diagram?" Linglong Immortal Venerable stirred, her gaze looking far out. In an instant, under her gaze, endless space-time was directly opened up. All the layers of space-time fog scattered, and a massive, chicken-egg-like great world hovered in the depths of the interstellar universe.
This was precisely the Limitless Great World.
Linglong Immortal Venerable could actually view the Limitless Great World from within the Xuanhuang Great World. This level of dharma power simply surpassed the existence of imagination.
Within her gaze, the entire Limitless Great World was shrouded in widespread immortal energy and starlight. Yet, in the depths of the Limitless Great World, within many vast space-times, clusters of black energy were brewing.
Those were the numerous demon and monster kingdoms in the depths of the Limitless Great World.
"Power of wishes, disperse the fog for me and obtain that eternal true knowledge." Linglong Immortal Venerable's eyes flashed again. In front of her, the shadow of that Limitless Great World abruptly expanded ten times. In the depths of the Limitless Great World, the demonic black energy gradually scattered, revealing some formidable auras.
Among them, the most intense was an earth-yellow aura. Within this earth-yellow aura, massive eyeballs rolled everywhere, representing the three thousand demonic eyes.
Seeming to have noticed Linglong Immortal Venerable's observation, this earth-yellow aura suddenly circulated and turned into an old Daoist priest wearing yellow clothes, who smiled slightly and gave a grand wave of his hand.
"Bang!"
The phantom of the Limitless Great World in front of Linglong Immortal Venerable actually scattered like water ripples, no longer visible.
"Chiyuan Demon Venerable?" Linglong Immortal Venerable was unperturbed, understanding everything in her heart: "So it is like this. There is a fifty percent certainty for this matter."
