Although diving deep into the enemy's peerless Dao artifact was a highly dangerous matter, even if one's realm was higher than the enemy's and their power was greater, entering the interior of an enemy's Dao artifact was a suicidal act, bearing a great possibility of being suppressed.
But Kunpeng was not afraid. He knew that fully blasting open the restrictions of the Yellow Springs Diagram and the City of Thunder Explosions from the outside was an impossible task. He had to descend into the depths of the Yellow Springs Diagram, kill its master Fang Han, and then suppress the artifact spirit; only then could the peerless Dao artifact truly belong to him.
"Kunpeng descends, heaven and earth tremble, stars are destroyed, free and unfettered." Kunpeng actually tore apart the various grand formations along the entrance of the Yellow Springs Diagram and charged right into the air filled with yellow mist. Opening his pair of eyes, he saw deep within the distant space-time the Reincarnation Disk, as huge as a planet, the Bridge of Helplessness spanning across the sky, and also the Gate of Avici, like hell, hidden deep in the darkness.
"Good treasure, good treasure. This kind of treasure is simply not something you, this little vile spawn Fang Han, can bear. It still must go to me in order to bring out its full might. I am the true master of this Yellow Springs Diagram, and you are nothing but a passerby." With a wave of his hand, Kunpeng grabbed toward a patch of yellow clouds. Immediately, spatial divine thunder exploded everywhere; one spatial crystal after another flew from his fingertips, turning into divine thunder.
The yellow clouds blasted apart instantly, revealing Fang Han and the body of a long dragon.
"This fellow actually dared to barge into the Yellow Springs Diagram."
Fang Han's mind was jolted. He had also not anticipated that Kunpeng's courage would reach such an extent as to dare act in this way, forcefully forcefully barging into the diagram to kill him.
Yan had already transformed into the appearance of a young man, wearing the true high-grade Dao artifact, the Unjust Death Demonic Robe.
As his body moved casually, dark light shot out from his form. The dark light condensed around his body into a cave heaven city, which was the "City of Unjust Death." This elevated his power once again.
"Bridge of Helplessness, carrying spirit, dodging disasters, spanning the sea of bitterness, reaching the other shore." Swish! Yan and Fang Han shifted their bodies, flying onto the Bridge of Helplessness and hiding there.
As Yan pointed his finger, massive power rumbled into motion, and the three-thousand-zhang-tall Gate of Avici pressed down toward Kunpeng to suppress him. Kunpeng's body was instantly tainted by the Avici demonic aura.
"It is of no use. This degree of damage has no effect on me whatsoever."
Kunpeng grabbed forcefully with his large hand, blotting out the sky and covering the sun, his claws directly clamping onto the Gate of Avici, then attempting to crush it.
The Gate of Avici trembled violently like a gripped python, yet it was to no avail; although it was not quite crushed, it could not move at all.
Kunpeng freed his other hand and grasped fiercely at the air, "Rift of Heaven!"
Chila! With every explosive grab, a rift would be left inside the Yellow Springs Diagram. This rift lingered for a long time, and even with the Yellow Springs Diagram's recovery function, it could not be restored.
This was Kunpeng's intrinsic divine ability, innate to him, called the "Rift of Heaven."
The Bridge of Helplessness zipped back and forth, dodging the strikes of the Rift of Heaven. However, as the number of Kunpeng's grabbing attempts increased, the Rifts of Heaven were densely arranged, making it look as though the entire Yellow Springs Diagram was going to shatter and tear apart.
"What should we do? I wonder how Senior Sister Qingxue is doing? That Taotie clearly also entered the City of Thunder Explosions. Unfortunately, I don't have a massive amount of Pure Yang pills. If I had a hundred billion Pure Yang pills to urge the phantom of the Reincarnation Disk, I could expel Kunpeng."
Fang Han and Yan dodged everywhere on the Bridge of Helplessness, simultaneously triggering the various grand formations of the Yellow Springs Diagram, but none could do anything to Kunpeng. If this continued, they would probably truly suffer at his poisonous hands.
"It is fine. The artifact spirit of Fang Qingxue's City of Thunder Explosions is extremely formidable, unlike the Yellow Springs Diagram which has suffered damage. Taotie went in but won't gain much of an advantage." Yan said, "We are the ones in a terrible spot; even the Gate of Avici has been seized. This Kunpeng is too formidable."
"All we can do now is hold on until this Kunpeng's power is exhausted! Hmph! Inside Tianwu's treasury, no one can draw out Immortal World vital energy, but I can communicate with the Key of the Ara-God. Extracting liquid Immortal World vital energy, when it comes to a battle of attrition, no one can outlast me." Fang Han dodged another "Rift of Heaven."
"The worry is whether we can hold on until this Kunpeng is exhausted. Looking at him, even if he attacks for several hundred years, he won't get tired." Yan was completely unoptimistic. "We can only wait for Imperial Human Pen to defeat the Ara-God King."
"Just how much Pure Yang vital energy does this kid have to be able to keep holding on?" At the same time, Kunpeng attacked with all his might inside the Yellow Springs Diagram like a wolf and a tiger, but he was also extremely puzzled in his heart.
He also knew that inside Tianwu's treasury, everyone was unable to draw upon the Immortal World vital energy. He was exactly the same.
Just as Kunpeng entered the Yellow Springs Diagram to kill Fang Han and suppress the artifact spirit, Imperial Human Pen and the Ara-God King were also locked in a difficult-to-separate battle.
The entire Ara-God Shrine shrank and expanded periodically, setting off unimaginably massive fluctuations within Tianwu's treasury. This drew the attention of many powerful existences.
However, the divine senses of those powerful existences could not penetrate into the interior of the Ara-God Shrine.
Because the Ara-God King had already activated the ultimate power of this grand formation. The Nine-Nines Return to One Ara-God Battle Body.
Back in the day, Panwu Immortal Venerable had captured a total of eighty-one powerful God Emperors and refined them into puppets using the Great Puppet Technique. The most formidable among them was the Ara-God King, a God Emperor who had cultivated a world and was evenly matched with that Doumu God Emperor.
Now, as the Ara-God King suddenly activated it, eighty shadows lunged out from the depths of the Ara-God Shrine and entered his world. Dark golden thrones rose one after another; these were the positions of those Ara-Gods.
"Ara-Gods, return to your positions!" Combining the power of all the Ara-Gods, a ferocious smile appeared on the Ara-God King's face. Punching out with one fist, "Even if you have cultivated to the realm of Heaven and Earth as One Body, you must still be shattered for me!"
The mighty and vast power of a world, combining the strength of all the Ara-Gods, crashed down toward Imperial Human Pen. If this power were to be fired out from the Xuanhuang Great World, it could directly knock away half of the sun in the sky and directly split the entire ocean apart, opening up another passage to the Return to Ruins.
"Protoss! I have killed countless numbers of you. Although you were struck by the Great Puppet Technique and became an Ara-God, I can still suppress you!" The tip of Imperial Human Pen was ten thousand times heavier, immortal like a towering mountain. Stroke by stroke in the air, he wrote a "Block" character.
All the power of the Ara-God King bombarded this Block character, and then the two exploded together. Imperial Human Pen did not stop; writing continuously, he swept a "Dispel" character, and all that explosive power entirely dissipated.
However, as soon as the power dissipated, the tall form of the Ara-God King actually appeared on the right side of Imperial Human Pen's body. His fist moved, carrying the power to blast planets apart, and bombarded over. Furthermore, on his fist, rings of black mixed holes manifested, howling madly, pervading the star systems, and transcending myriad realms.
The supreme Dao of the Protoss, "Fist of Myriad Tribulations Annihilation!"
"Ara-God King, you are seeking your own doom!" Imperial Human Pen's expression suddenly altered. On the left side of his body appeared a "No" character, which blocked the "Fist of Myriad Tribulations Annihilation."
Then, opening his mouth, he spat out. A fire dragon was ejected from his mouth, and within the fire dragon, a massive cauldron appeared!
This massive cauldron was actually the peerless Dao artifact as well, the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron. It had originally been suppressed within his body by Imperial Human Pen, but now, it seemed to have been subdued, becoming a magic treasure of Imperial Human Pen!
A magic treasure was actually capable of possessing another magic treasure.
But Imperial Human Pen was not an ordinary magic treasure; he had already transcended the scope of magic treasures and touched upon the realm of creation. Such a realm was beyond the reach even of immortal artifacts.
"Senior! This is the Ara-God King. He has now combined the power of the nine nines, eighty-one Ara-Gods. Through nine nines returning to one, his mana is boundless and simply cannot be suppressed! We should just open up that bronze mirror in the center of the Ara-God Shrine, then we can enter the very center of the true treasury, the place where the Key of the Ara-God exists. Once the Key of the Ara-God is obtained, there is no fear of being unable to subdue this person!"
As soon as the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron flew out, its body soared instantly, spewing out countless amounts of Heaven Realm Pure Fire. This formed an Intense Dragon Grand Formation.
"Alright!" Imperial Human Pen immediately wrote an "Open" character in the air, directly facing that bronze mirror in the center of the Ara-God Shrine. But as soon as the character entered the mirror, it circulated briefly and then vanished, not opening at all; even Imperial Human Pen could do nothing to that bronze mirror.
"What mirror is this? It actually possesses sturdiness and miraculousness on par with the Heavenly Emperor's Mirror. Of course, even if it cannot compare to the Heavenly Emperor's Mirror, it is not far off." Imperial Human Pen was momentarily taken aback.
"Imperial Human Pen, you actually subdued the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron! However, with your power, unless it is a true divine artifact of creation, it is impossible to cleave open this Ancestral Shaman Mirror! This is the realm-suppressing treasure of the Shaman Dao Great World. I have studied it here for ten thousand years and have been entirely unable to comprehend the secrets of this Ancestral Shaman Mirror. The thought that you could open it is simply a joke."
Seeing that Imperial Human Pen actually wanted to open the "Ancestral Shaman Mirror," the Ara-God King could not help but mock him. Yet, despite his mockery, he was also extremely tense. With Imperial Human Pen having subdued the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron, his strength was simply unimaginable. Now, the King had no certainty of victory whatsoever.
"What? The realm-suppressing treasure of the Shaman Dao Great World?" Imperial Human Pen's mind stirred, and he once again wrote a very large "Shaman" character.
This "Shaman" character instantly flew into that quaint bronze mirror. With this, the bronze mirror immediately ceased to be a dead object. A gray light blossomed from it, heavy with mist, like the primordial immemorial era, crack, crack! From within the mirror, something seemed to echo out. Within the gray light on the mirror, a key manifested.
A massive key.
This key was unimaginably huge to anyone. One end plunged into the void, seemingly entering the Immortal World. It was unknown how many tens of thousands of miles long it was; boundless Immortal World vital energy and the power of Pure Yang all entered this key.
This key, nobody could pick it up.
The Key of the Ara-God! Having manifested inside the Ancestral Shaman Mirror.
