"Kill me? Meng Shaobai, you are dreaming. The two divine beasts beside you? Just vile creatures. I am refining a magic treasure and happen to need the souls, vital essence, and law fragments of two divine beasts. Today, neither of you two will be able to escape; you will all die, die completely."
Fang Han took a step forward, the smile on his face freezing, and the murderous intent in his eyes became even thicker.
However, although he appeared deeply murderous on the surface, as if ready to strike immediately, deep down he was extremely calm. The Ara-God Shrine was fraught with danger, and both Kunpeng and Taotie were divine beasts a full realm higher than him.
In the Longevity Secret Realm, being one realm higher meant it was simply impossible to win.
Not to mention that Kunpeng and Taotie were both divine beasts.
"So it is you, kid, who executed the Great Poison Technique and severed one of my arms." The Taotie divine beast looked at Fang Han, like a hungry wolf. He recognized that Fang Han was the person who, during the space-time tide, executed the Great Poison Technique and caused him to lose an arm. The Taotie divine beast was extremely fierce and had an extremely strong desire for revenge; among divine beasts, he was only slightly inferior to the Yazi.
"Although this kid's cultivation is only at the 'Cave Heaven Realm,' it is nothing more than that. He is no match for us at all. Kunpeng, was your arm severed by Imperial Human Pen?" the obese elderly Kunpeng said.
"No, this kid has cultivated an extremely formidable divine ability, the Great Poison Technique, and I don't know what poison he combined it with; even my time laws could not resist it. When we capture and kill this kid later, you must be thoroughly careful and avoid his Great Poison Technique."
"Hmph, that is nothing. We have cultivated for many years and refined countless treasures, making us much more formidable than ordinary cultivators. Even if we have to sacrifice several magic treasures to trap this kid's divine ability, it will not be difficult. Good! the Ara-God King and Imperial Human Pen have made their moves; let us go up as well and capture and kill him in one swoop!"
Kunpeng's obese body moved, conjuring a string of afterimages in space-time. His speed was so unimaginably fast that as he chopped his palm toward Fang Han with an intent to kill, this strike contained the full force of a hundred billion galloping fierce horses.
Fang Han's current power, pushed to its peak, was only thirty-five billion.
An ordinary Cave Heaven Realm expert possessed around ten billion. Even a 宙光 Realm expert could not possibly reach a hundred billion. Yet, with a casual gesture, a divine beast like Kunpeng breached a hundred billion. This was the difference between humans and divine beasts. Facing such massive force and oppressive speed, everything before Fang Han lost its color.
He knew that with his current power, he was completely no match for this Kunpeng divine beast. However, he was highly resourceful and had long devised all countermeasures.
Pushing his palm force out, he executed the "Great Poison Technique." This time, the Great Poison Technique was not a direct strike; instead, it was blended into the Lesser Destiny Technique, formless and invisible, permeating the void. With a flick of his finger, only a tiny speck of pitch-black light could be seen, flying toward Kunpeng's palm force like small insects.
When the Lesser Destiny Technique was executed, it had no characteristics whatsoever; the color, sound, light, and shadows normally associated with ordinary Dao techniques were all absent. It was invisible and traceless. At this exact moment, Fang Han used the Lesser Destiny Technique to suppress the toxic true energy, compressing it into tiny black specks of light that looked like dust, completely unnoticeable.
However, do not underestimate this dust-like highly toxic true energy. If this speck of dust were to fall onto a small planet, it would poison to death all the living beings on that planet, and then transform the planet into a star of intense poison.
"What is that?"
The obese elderly Kunpeng had just chopped his palm out, intending to crush Fang Han into powder, but then he saw the waves of dust that Fang Han released, subtly flying over like blown sand. Unable to see even a hint of poisonous gas, he naturally failed to recognize that this was the Great Poison Technique. Thus, paying it absolutely no mind, he repeatedly flicked his fingers; a sack-like magic treasure emerged from the center of his palm, intended to entirely collect all of Fang Han's true energy.
This sack-like magic treasure was also a mid-grade Dao artifact called the "Sea-Capturing Sack," meaning it could scoop up the water of an entire ocean into the sack and take it away at any time.
However, right as the sack absorbed that dark light dust, the artifact spirit inside let out a loud cry and was directly poisoned to death. Then, the Sea-Capturing Sack began to melt, converting into billowing poisonous gas, further amplifying the might of the Great Poison Technique.
"What is going on? Is this the Great Poison Technique? Why didn't I feel the existence of any poisonous gas at all? Could it be a combination with another divine ability? Being such formidable toxic true energy, it will corrode whatever vital energy it encounters." Kunpeng was greatly startled, his heart aching immensely over the corrosion of his "Sea-Capturing Sack."
This mid-grade Dao artifact was something he had refined by expending a great deal of his heart's blood.
Succeeding with one move, melting the Sea-Capturing Sack, poisoning its artifact spirit to death, and merging it all into the Great Poison Technique, Fang Han felt his toxic true energy become even more vigorous. His reactions were extremely fast; waving his palms continuously, the toxic true energy gathered again, turning into dust-like insidious attacks enveloping Kunpeng.
Knowing its ferocity, Kunpeng did not dare to take it head-on. He dodged repeatedly, and for a time, he was actually forced back continuously by Fang Han, falling into a disadvantage.
"Detestable!"
This obese elder Kunpeng felt so frantic that he jumped in rage. His strength was vastly superior to Fang Han's, and his realm was also above the enemy's, yet he was forced into a disadvantage by a bizarre martial art, dodging everywhere like an ant on a hot pan, completely losing face. He dared not envelop Fang Han in his own cave heaven either; otherwise, if infected by the poisonous gas, it would be difficult to purge, and his entire life would be ruined.
Taotie's expression also changed. His body shifted continuously, first protecting Meng Shaobai, and then opening his mouth to spit out eighteen pills, which were actually immortal pills.
These eighteen immortal pills gave off to the nose an immortal aroma. It was unknown who had refined them; on them actually manifested individual pill spirits, each wearing tall coronets and weird garments. Within the pills, they were drinking wine and chatting, playing chess and sipping tea, or reading Daoist scriptures aloud. One by one, they were carefree and unfettered, like immortals in heaven.
"High-grade immortal pills, Forget-Sorrow Pill Formation, encircle the intense poison!"
Puff puff puff! The eighteen immortal pills were shot out by the power of Taotie, this massive man, crashing toward Fang Han's toxic dust.
"Do not, do not!"
"Daoist friend, do not do this. This poisonous gas is extremely formidable. If we are tainted by it, our bodies will die and our Daos will vanish. Moreover, we will only be able to block this toxic true energy for a short while; Daoist friend, it is not worth your sacrificing us."
"This divine beast is extremely cruel. We might as well risk it all and surrender to a wise master."
In an instant, the Daoist-garbed immortals playing chess, reading, drinking tea, and chatting on those pills all began to scream in shock, shouting and howling continuously, seemingly extremely afraid. They actually possessed very strong sentience, much more miraculous than all the immortal pills Fang Han had ever seen.
The Life Fortune Pill and the Ten-Heart Heavenly King Precious Pill, immortal pills, were similarly immortal-tier, but compared to these eighteen pills, they fell into an inferior grade.
"You still want to surrender to a wise master! I wasted so much effort after obtaining you, gathering unknown amounts of medicinal materials to feed you and make your power strong. Now that I am using you to exert effort, you shirk and make excuses, even wanting to turn against me. Don't you know that I have laid down countless powerful restrictions on your bodies? You simply have no chance to betray me, understand? Explode, explode, explode!"
Taotie's face was completely fierce, like a demon god, roaring continuously. The eighteen pills suddenly expanded and exploded one after another, forming a grand formation that actually trapped Fang Han's toxic true energy within. The dense medicinal aura formed a world of medicinal fragrance.
Fang Han immediately felt that his Great Poison Technique was obstructed. Although it could slowly corrode that world of medicinal fragrance, and even convert the power within into his own essence.
However, this required a lot of time. Facing Taotie and Kunpeng, these two vicious divine beasts, hesitating for even a thousandth of an instant was a dangerous matter. One misstep meant immediate death, with not even a remnant soul able to survive.
"Fang Han, little beast, the only formidable thing about you is the Great Poison Technique. Now, I have sacrificed eighteen high-grade immortal pills to trap your poison technique; you are surely dead. Do you know? I could not bear to eat these eighteen high-grade immortal pills; they were refined by a Profound Immortal from the upper realm, the Forget-Sorrow Immortal. I obtained them by chance and nourished them for ten thousand years. Now that they have been sacrificed like this, even the waters of heaven and earth would have difficulty washing away your sin." On one side, Taotie's face twitched with heartache over the loss of the pills, while on the other side, he stood up as if he had taken a berserk pill, thoroughly launching attacks against Fang Han, Fang Qingxue, and Feng Yaoguang.
Kunpeng's body also moved. Swish! A pair of wings appeared on his back. These wings blotted out the sky and the sun, penetrating into the void. With every gentle movement, the spatial power turned heaven and earth upside down, shattering and reorganizing, collapsing and spinning, raising a space-time storm capable of blowing away planets.
Then, from his fingers, three-foot-long nails penetrated out like flying swords, grabbing at Fang Han and tearing apart space.
Without the threat of the Great Poison Technique, the two great divine beasts attacked with full force.
Furthermore, at present, Imperial Human Pen and the Ara-God King were engaged in a difficult-to-separate battle. There seemed to be no time for him to pay attention to Fang Han, Fang Qingxue, and Feng Yaoguang.
The might of the two great divine beasts attacking with their full force reached a terrifying level of a full five hundred billion.
Suddenly, Fang Han felt his breathing become unsmooth.
Never before had he felt such a powerful oppression as in this moment.
"Yellow Springs Diagram, City of Thunder Explosions!" Fang Qingxue and he both roared simultaneously. Their bodies moved, combining the two peerless Dao artifacts to protect the area around their bodies, which finally resisted the sure-kill strike from the two great divine beasts.
"Your power is too weak. Even with high-grade Dao artifacts, you cannot possibly bring out their full power, let alone peerless Dao artifacts. Do you think that by showing off these two treasures, you can protect yourselves? I will let you know what true power is!" The two divine beasts thoroughly displayed their strength, shaking their bodies to transform and reveal their true forms. Their power ascended endlessly. With every chop of their palms, fully close to one trillion palm shadows manifested, bombarding the two peerless Dao artifacts, beating the Yellow Springs Diagram and the City of Thunder Explosions until they spun continuously, swaying unsteadily in the air, light splattering in all directions.
"Absolute Annihilation of Heaven and Earth!"
Kunpeng was still not satisfied. His body condensed, transforming into the true form of a Kunpeng over a man's height. He forcefully barged toward the entrance of the Yellow Springs Diagram. With a single punch, he blasted the restrictive methods at the entrance into an explosion, intending for his body to descend into the interior of the Yellow Springs Diagram.
