"It doesn't matter. Even you, the laws of space you comprehended are shallow; you were far from cultivating your domain to the level of a 'Grotto-Heaven'. Furthermore, those laws of space were not comprehended by you. It was because I killed a Demon God of the space laws and sealed his essence inside your body that you were able to break through halfway. As for that Fang Han, even if he refines that small half of your body, it is impossible for him to break past the Undying Body and reach the stage of space laws. The third layer of the Longevity Secret Realm, the Grotto-Heaven Realm, is a myth, a legend; if it were that easy to break through, would that be acceptable?"
The Star Emperor waved his hand, a fierce look appearing on his face: "It's a pity, if you had truly comprehended the laws of space and cultivated your own domain into a Grotto-Heaven, you would at least not have failed so miserably today!"
"But, the Pure Yang Palace lost so much Nine Yang Holy Water! When the Senate conducts its year-end review, I fear I will be thrown into the Heavenly Prison." Lü Dongxian's face twisted.
"No matter, I am a senior member of the Senate; I will explain it to them. Moreover, you have now barely cultivated to the Grotto-Heaven Realm, the third layer of the Longevity Secret Realm, and can be considered half a mythical figure. Your status is not like before. Our Limitless Star Palace has encountered this great tribulation, and the loss of talent is severe; they will not do anything to you. Hmph! As for that Fang Han, I will let him live a few more days this time. In the near future, the Xuanhuang Great World will encounter a true disaster. That disaster will be far more severe than this demonic turmoil. When the time comes, I will personally go and destroy the Yuhua Sect, capture and kill this brat Fang Han."
The Star Emperor gave a sudden jolt, and a thick ring of starlight radiated out, transforming into the forms of thousands of Star Gods that surged out of the Pure Yang Palace. Instantly, the numerous demons outside screamed continuously as a full tens of thousands of them were killed in a single strike.
"Alright, I must return to the Primordial Limitless Diagram. The demon experts who have come this time are exceedingly numerous; I cannot afford the slightest negligence. These demons actually want to snatch our Limitless Star Palace's Primordial Limitless Diagram; that is an impossible thing."
As he spoke, the Star Emperor was about to fly up into the sky.
Right at this moment, sudden changes occurred!
A voice transmitted down from the sky, heard clearly by almost everyone. This voice seemed to be in a distant space and time, but no matter how far the distance, it could not stop the propagation of this voice.
"When I attain eternal life, the sentient beings of all the various stars of the world shattered into fine dust, shall attain eternal life…"
"When I attain eternal life, the sentient beings numerous as the sands of the river of billions of eons of time, the myriad infinite sentient beings of the past and future, shall invariably be able to realize all their desires…"
"All the various desires, can all be realized!"
Upon hearing this voice, the Star Emperor's skin color changed instantaneously: "This is, this is the Great Desire Technique! The cultivation of this person is already infinitely close to that of an Immortal! How could such a figure appear! Coming to attack our Limitless Star Palace too! Terrible!"
As he spoke, his voice trembled somewhat, his body twisted for a moment, and he disappeared without a trace.
"Shatter!"
At the same time, inside the Yellow Spring Diagram, Fang Han shattered Lü Dongxian's body with a single punch. Then, he executed the Great Devouring Technique, swallowed this person in one gulp, and utilizing the reincarnation power of the Yellow Spring Diagram, began to refine him.
Inside the Yellow Spring Diagram, time flowed rapidly. Over half a year passed, and Fang Han gradually fused the small half of Lü Dongxian's body, along with some fragments of the space laws within it, into his own body and comprehension.
He only felt that within his body, every tiny granule of flesh and blood seemed to be developing the rudimentary form of a small, independent space. His intake and output as well as his capacity to contain grew greatly, and his original magical power of five billion galloping fierce horses increased once again.
Furthermore, all the pure blood vital energy of Sima Chong that had settled within his body began to melt and fuse into the flesh and blood of his body.
Originally, the extent to which Fang Han's body could contain magical power had reached its limit, and his flesh and blood were at a point of saturation. Even if he were to consume immortal pills, he could only let the medicinal power settle inside his body. It could not increase his strength or lifespan.
However, now having refined the small half of Lü Dongxian's body, his body had incorporated some fragments of the space laws, and his flesh and blood began to change. They had a tendency to become independent spaces, holding much more power, and were even more solid and vastly changeable.
"If you entirely comprehend the laws of space, then every drop of your flesh and blood will be an independent space, an independent Grotto-Heaven. Your capacity to contain various vital energies will be a hundred times what it is now. Your intake and output of Immortal Realm vital energy will also be a hundred times what it is now. Your power will easily break through to ten billion." Yan looked at Fang Han's changes and said joyfully, "It's a pity that this Lü Dongxian didn't comprehend it himself; he also plundered it from someone else."
Whew!
Fang Han did not speak, but exhaled a long breath. From his body, a great deal of pure vital energy surged out, condensing into a stone. It was precisely the Soul Stone that Sima Chong had swallowed. It had now been recondensed by Fang Han.
He blew a breath onto this Soul Stone, and this Soul Stone dissolved once more, fusing into his body. Subsequently, his body's magical power began to skyrocket. All of Sima Chong's power, as well as the power of the small half of Lü Dongxian's body, were all accepted by him.
His original power of five billion galloping fierce horses surged all the way to a full eight billion!
His own lifespan, due to his body's flesh and blood incorporating some fragments of the space laws, increased once again. It reached the terrifying extent of a hundred and twenty thousand years, approaching the number of 'One Epoch'.
"Indeed, the laws of space are too profound and mysterious. Although my body has incorporated a tiny bit of the fragments, causing the extent to which it can contain magical power to increase again, and my lifespan has also grown, I am still completely in the dark regarding the true laws of space."
Fang Han nodded. Just now, having absorbed Lü Dongxian's fragments of space laws had elevated his strength and lifespan, as well as the tyrannical degree of his body. As for comprehending the true laws of space and transforming into a 'Grotto-Heaven,' he had still been unable to capture the true mystery. However, Fang Han was not anxious about this; having reached his current level of cultivation, it was already enough for his use.
Sizzle, sizzle sizzle sizzle.
The pure Yang flame finally extinguished inside the Yellow Spring Diagram, and the distorted time began to revert. Only then did Fang Han know that a year's time had already passed, while outside only a double-hour had elapsed.
The Yellow Spring Diagram was indeed useful to use. Just the power of time alone was equivalent to an immense aid for Fang Han's cultivation; it was just that the pure Yang pills required to be burned were too numerous.
"Wooden Daoist, take an inventory, how many pills are left inside the Eight Fubu Pagoda? Additionally, take an inventory of Young Master Chu Nan's magical treasure pouch, as well as Sima Chong's magical treasure pouch, to see how many treasures are inside their magical treasure pouches?"
"Daoist Friend Fang Han, inside the Eight Fubu Pagoda, there are a total of a hundred and ten billion three hundred and eighty million pills. As for inside Young Master Chu Nan's magical treasure pouch, there are only a hundred million pure Yang pills. Sima Chong had even less, eighty million. However, there are no high-grade Dao artifacts in the magical treasure pouches of these two, nor are there any mid-grade Dao artifacts! There are in total seven low-grade Dao artifacts, and there are quite a few various materials. Also, within Sima Chong's magical treasure pouch, a gourd of pills was found! They are immortal pills! There are also two Dao books."
The Wooden Daoist immediately took inventory of the valuables inside the Eight Fubu Pagoda, and at the same time delivered to Fang Han's hands the important pills and Dao books from them.
"Three Origins Supreme Unity Pill! It really is an immortal pill recorded in ancient Dao books." Fang Han looked at that gourd of immortal pills; there were six pills inside. Every single pill emanated tyrannical fluctuations of power, and the pill spirits of the pills roared within, "Let me out, let me out! If you let me out, I promise you will receive immense benefits!"
"These pills are interesting, worthy of being immortal pills." Fang Han smiled, turned his head, and looked toward the two Dao books, only to find that written on these two Dao books were: The King's Dao! The Tyrant's Dao!
Upon them was the secret method for cultivating the "Great King Tyrant Technique."
However, at the back of these two books, there were two star charts, which seemed to be treasure maps.
"Hmm? Is this the treasure map of the Iron Blood Sect?" Fang Han took one look and knew that what was depicted in the treasure map was an ancient star domain. As long as he found this star domain, he could follow the signposts in the treasure map to find the legacy treasure left behind by the ancient Iron Blood Sect.
"I will go look for it when I have time later. The treasures I have stored right now are truly too many." Fang Han directly swallowed these two Dao books into his stomach. The secret method for cultivating the "Great King Tyrant Technique" within could absolutely not be obtained by anyone else.
"Also, inside the Dhāraṇī Sutra Pillar, there are the cultivation methods of four great Buddhist gateways."
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Fang Han made a grab, and grabbed the "Dhāraṇī Sutra Pillar" from inside the Yellow Spring Diagram into his hand. Deep within the space of this sutra pillar, there indeed flowed sections of sutra text, narrating the cultivation methods of four great Buddhist divine abilities. These four great Buddhist divine abilities were the "Great Universal Crossing Technique" that Fang Han had already cultivated, along with the "Great Salvation Technique," the "Great Liberation Technique," and the final one was unexpectedly the "Great Dragon Form Technique"!
"Good, no wonder Hong Tianjing knows Buddhist divine abilities; it turns out he learned them here." Fang Han nodded secretly. He had now reached a bottleneck in his cultivation of Buddhist divine abilities, and in fact just needed the Great Salvation Technique and the Great Liberation Technique to comprehend. Once his comprehension became thorough, he would be able to comprehend the mysteries of the Six-Syllable True Word Spirit Talisman on a deeper level.
Having prepared everything appropriately, Fang Han leaped out of the Yellow Spring Diagram in a single bound.
At the same time, he also brought out Han Xi, along with several female disciples of the Limitless Star Palace.
These several female disciples had also cultivated inside the Yellow Spring Diagram alongside him for a year. Every single one of them had made tremendous progress.
"Alright, you can respectively return into the Limitless Star Palace and return to your positions. The purpose of my coming to the Limitless Star Palace this time has also finally been achieved." Fang Han waved his hand, letting them leave.
The several female disciples glanced at each other, none of them speaking. Fang Han's formidable strength was seen plainly by their eyes. He had unexpectedly killed Young Master Chu Nan, additionally killed Sima Chong, and snatched away Hong Tianjing's Dao artifact. Even Lü Dongxian had his body refined by a small half, and Elder Star Emperor could do nothing to him.
In this great demon tribulation, they were also in great danger; it would be better to follow by Fang Han's side.
