Who knows what serendipitous encounter Meng Shaobai obtained to actually find a primordial Kunpeng as an adoptive father. This primordial Kunpeng was evidently an existence with extremely profound cultivation; with a single open mouth, it could swallow small planets. Naturally, a primordial Kunpeng was more than a hundred times stronger than cultivators at the same realm. If both had the cultivation of the Cave Heaven Realm, it could swallow ten human cultivators or even Divine Race cultivators at the Cave Heaven Realm.
Meng Shaobai executed the "Demonic Fetus Parasitism Formula" to parasitize a giant Kunpeng egg, making him essentially a young Kunpeng now.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he had such a serendipitous encounter.
"Adoptive Father said we are going to the spatiotemporal tide?" Meng Shaobai's eyes flashed, "Indeed, the Yuhua Sect and the Taiyi Sect will definitively choose to enter during the spatiotemporal tide's decline to search for Immortal Venerable Panwu's treasure, the Heavenly Martial Storehouse."
"The Heavenly Martial Storehouse?" Upon hearing this, the obese old man Kunpeng instantly licked his lips, showing much greed on his face: "Your adoptive father, I, have now comprehended the laws of time, but have not yet grasped the Qi of Creation to reach the fifth stage of the Long Life Realm, the Creation Realm. If I obtain Immortal Venerable Panwu's treasure, I can reach that realm. Even figures at the sixth stage, the Heavenly Position Realm, will not be my match. I can be invincible below the World King Realm, devouring hundreds of millions of demon gods to condense the True Body of Shenluo."
"Then congratulations Adoptive Father, may you swiftly condense the True Body of Shenluo and become invincible in the world."
"Hahahaha." The obese old man laughed wildly: "Thus, you will come with me to the spatiotemporal tide to seek opportunities. I guarantee to swallow many experts who have comprehended spatial law fragments, forcefully refine them, and pass the spatial law fragments to you. This will make comprehending the laws of space much easier for you, saving you ten thousand years of bitter cultivation."
While speaking, this obese old man opened his mouth and swallowed Meng Shaobai whole. Then his body flashed, completely disappearing from the Heavenly Demon Realm, heading who knows where. This skill of movement, although not as profound as the Great Movement Technique, tore through thousands of spaces in an instant, displaying an extremely powerful capability for interstellar travel across the universe.
The Kunpeng naturally possessed space within its body from birth and had an extremely powerful capacity to comprehend space.
Especially a Kunpeng at this realm—it was likely an old monster that had lived for at least a hundred thousand years, a colossal giant aberration, an antique whose magical power was unimaginably tyrannical.
"Fang Han, you should also be going to the spatiotemporal tide this time, and Hua Tiandu definitely will too. Good, right in the spatiotemporal tide, I will use the Great Slaughter Technique to completely bury you all within it." Inside the belly of the obese old man Kunpeng, Meng Shaobai smiled sinisterly. A heart of slaughter pulsed violently, seemingly somewhat impatient: "Of course, if I can use the treasures of the Heavenly Martial Storehouse to break through my realm, and then kill this Kunpeng to absorb its power—the fragments of the laws of space and time it comprehended—my cultivation could have a qualitative breakthrough. This Kunpeng is truly foolish; with a barrage of lies, asserting that I am the reincarnation of a Kunpeng transformed into a human and entering an Immortal Dao sect, I tricked him. But no wonder he believed it; my current physique is exactly identical to a Kunpeng's."
Meng Shaobai's mind turned with many conspiracies, all related to slaughter.
The Great Slaughter Technique was such that for every living being killed, one gained a measure of comprehension toward slaughter. The cultivation was extremely simple: continuous slaughter.
Meng Shaobai was now singularly cultivating the Great Slaughter Technique, which was much purer than Fang Han simultaneously cultivating so many of the Three Thousand Great Daos. The stronger the living beings slaughtered, the more formidable the Great Slaughter Technique became.
He even wanted to kill this conveniently acquired adoptive father Kunpeng now. Killing such a powerful existence would swell the desire for slaughter to its peak, triggering a metamorphosis that could even allow him to break through his realm.
Aside from Fang Han in the spatiotemporal tide, all other powerful existences also entered one after another.
Because at this time, in the Xuanhuang Great World, it was already midnight with a full moon. Under the immense gravitational pull of the suns and moons, the storms deep in the spatiotemporal tide had greatly weakened. Now, experts of the Immortal Body could pass through it.
"Brother Sun, the Supreme Sect Master's execution of this matter was right after all: going to the Heavenly Martial Storehouse to fetch treasures without notifying that vile little demon Fang Han. Otherwise, who knows what advantage that little demon would seize." Shrouded within a ring of light were several Supreme Elders of the Yuhua Sect, impressively including Immortal Demon Slaughterer Deng Ao, Sun Xihua, and several other Supreme Elders who supported Hua Tiandu.
"Hmph, Feng Baiyu also has his own plans. That vile spawn Fang Han obtained the support of the Human Emperor Pen and Fang Qingxue; if his strength becomes more tyrannical, he could seize the position of Sect Master. Feng Baiyu surely does not wish for Fang Han to be so dominant and take a share of the Heavenly Martial Storehouse." Said a Supreme Elder with a pallid complexion. This pale-faced Supreme Elder was named "Venerable Azure Face," also a formidable expert at the third stage of the Long Life Realm, the Cave Heaven Realm.
"Indeed, this is exactly the reason. The Three Saints of Yuhua also currently want to suppress Fang Han's strength to balance the sect. That vile spawn Fang Han is now a double-edged sword; drawing it can hurt both others and himself." Another Supreme Elder sneered continuously.
This Supreme Elder had five fast-flashing golden small swords pinned in his hair. Each small sword bore powerful engraved formations. It was actually a set of Mid-Grade Dao Tool flying swords.
When Mid-Grade Dao Tools formed a complete set, they were extremely formidable. Like the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels, once joined perfectly, their power was sufficient to strangle ordinary Immortal Body experts, practically capable of killing figures of the Ten Thousand Lifespan Realm instantly.
And the five treasured swords pinned in this Supreme Elder's hair right now were even more tyrannical than the Sun and Moon Essence Wheels. One sword bore the carved character "Heaven," while the other four were respectively "Wind," "Cloud," "Thunder," and "Earth."
Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Cloud—five treasured swords.
All were Mid-Grade Dao Tools. They exuded tens of thousands of streaks of sword qi, condensing into a sphere that tightly wrapped him completely. Even as the spatiotemporal tidal storms weakened, they could unexpectedly do nothing to him.
This elder was called Lord Five Swords.
Immortal Demon Slaughterer Deng Ao, Sun Xihua, Venerable Azure Face, Lord Five Swords, and a few other Supreme Elders were present together, connected as a single entity.
"Alright, Feng Baiyu obtained the support of the Three Saints of Yuhua long ago; his grand position as Sect Master is unshakable. Furthermore, Hua Tiandu should have emerged from the Taiyi Sect by now; only his Great Desolate Ancient Furnace can sense the true location of the Heavenly Martial Storehouse. This time, as long as he deliberately guides the Taiyi Sect's experts in the wrong direction and traps them in a false storehouse, we will have the time to obtain the collections of the true treasure house."
Yet another Supreme Elder spoke. The cultivation of this Supreme Elder had actually reached the level of the "Cosmic Light Realm," having comprehended the laws of time. He was the bellwether among this group of Supreme Elders. His body was enveloped in a stream of clear light, and in the depths of that clear light lay a powerful magical treasure—it actually was a High-Grade Dao Tool. Of course, this High-Grade Dao Tool was not refined by him, but an inheritance from ancient experts he had acquired.
"Mr. Tao is correct; presently, we should not act rashly, but await news from Hua Tiandu."
Said Immortal Demon Slaughterer Deng Ao.
This bellwether, called Mr. Tao, was an extremely tyrannical Supreme Elder of the Yuhua Sect, possessing the High-Grade Dao Tool "Mystic Light Heavenly Sphere," a magical treasure he had obtained by chance ten thousand years ago upon arriving at the Return to Ruins Secret Realm.
"The spatiotemporal tide has weakened!"
At this time, Fang Han was also inside the spatiotemporal tide, shuttling rapidly along the coordinates of the compass held by the seven princesses of Azure Mound Mountain. An instant bridged millions of miles. But no matter how he flew, he could not reach the end. Flying here felt as if he had entered a boundless sea of bitterness, forever unable to reach the opposite shore.
Just at this moment, the surrounding spatiotemporal tidal storms suddenly abated significantly, as if the wind and waves had calmed down.
"The hour has arrived; we must hurry. Now, many experts should have entered the spatiotemporal tide, and some powerful existences surviving in it will come out to forage for food. To avoid unnecessary trouble, it's best we quickly reach the inside of the Heavenly Martial Storehouse and seize the initiative."
"Good!"
Fang Han moved his body, urging the Great Movement Technique to its utmost extreme. Instantly, his surroundings shifted, leaving his shadow fundamentally untraceable. Layers of the spatiotemporal tide were cleaved open. It took a full half hour before the tidal storms in front of him suddenly vanished, replaced by an expansive ocean suspended in the void. In all directions, above and below, it was entirely a world of water. Seeing such a scene, Fang Han could not help but sigh in praise, as if some primordial deity had placed an ocean into the void.
"Good! We have arrived at the true Heavenly Martial Storehouse. Surrounding the Heavenly Martial Storehouse is the Weak Water Array. Weak Water is an extremely poisonous water that can melt all things. High-Grade Dao Tools entering it will suffer massive damage; only Peerless Dao Tools can remain safe and unhurt."
The compass in the Seventh Princess's hands suddenly stopped operating, clearly having reached the destination.
"Poisonous water? Melt all things? Then it is nothing. It can serve perfectly as nourishment for my Great Extreme Poison Technique." Fang Han grabbed out with his hand, and immediately a surge of magical power bombarded the limitless void ocean, forcefully capturing a single drop of water.
"So heavy!"
Upon grabbing it in his hand, this single drop of water actually weighed tens of catties. And once in his hand, it began to corrode his flesh and skin. Although its power could not compare to the Great Extreme Poison Technique, it was still a rare poisonous water between heaven and earth, capable of directly melting even Dao Tools.
Feeling the stinging pain in his palm, Fang Han immediately circulated the Great Extreme Poison Technique, devouring it inside. With a slight rotation, it melted into his extreme poison true qi, neutralizing the corrosion of his palm.
"It is indeed formidable. This kind of poisonous water can likely suppress all the myriad fires of heaven and earth." Fang Han gazed toward the depths of this void ocean, but found that no matter what, he could not see through exactly what was inside this ocean.
He knew that deep within this void ocean, within the Weak Water Array, a Peerless Dao Tool called the Black Emperor Tidal Banner—a supreme treasure refined by Immortal Venerable Panwu—was suppressing the array core.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh, swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Just as Fang Han analyzed the properties of the Weak Water Array's poisonous water, outside the grand void ocean, several intense streaks of radiant light suddenly flew over.
These streaks of radiant light were thick with demonic qi. Fang Han saw with a single glance that among them was exactly the elder of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect, the Master of Senluo Hall, Ba Liming.
