Fang Han, with the help of the Human Emperor Pen, refined the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron, merging this fire-attribute Peerless Dao Artifact into the Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi. Cultivating his entire body's meridians, flesh, blood, and vital energy, he finally tempered himself to a realm free of any impurities, capable of incinerating all things. Moreover, his power elevated to the same level as divine beasts, completely surpassing cultivators at the longevity fourth tier, the Cosmic Light Realm.
His mind was now entirely submerged in communion with the laws of heaven and earth. Various spatial laws and temporal laws manifested in the air, one after another. The essence of these spatial and temporal laws was deeply imprinted into his soul.
Furthermore, his Great Five Elements Technique now held fire as supreme.
Of course, the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art was also presently undergoing a metamorphosis. Ever since obtaining the Spoon of the Barren God, it and the World Tree began to merge. After Fang Han acquired the controlling rights over it, the Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art received the inheritance of the World Tree and the Spoon of the Barren God, also beginning to transform.
The power of wood-attribute divine abilities surged tremendously.
Among the five elements, wood generated fire, and with the immense increase in wood-attribute power, the fire-attribute power correspondingly rose. This allowed the artifact spirit of the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron, nourished by the Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi, to manifest even more power.
"Hahaha, hahahaha! Senior Human Emperor Pen merged me into Fang Han's divine abilities, and I was unwilling. But now, this Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi has grown increasingly profound, coupled with the wood energy of the World Tree, using wood to generate fire, yielding boundless power. I have also obtained massive benefits, with a continuous, endless supply of pure yang essence qi. This person Fang Han possesses grand destiny; by following him, sooner or later, there will be hope for me to advance to an Immortal Artifact. The benefits the Great Five Elements Technique provides me are far greater than those given by Chirongtian and that Fire God Primordial Spirit. Moreover, Chirongtian has now been devoured by Fang Han, and the Fire God Primordial Spirit has entirely melted into his body."
Hidden within the Red Emperor Fire Sovereign Qi, the artifact spirit of the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron laughed loudly, boundlessly excited.
At this very moment, the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron had already transformed into a minuscule tripod the size of a grain of sand, concealed within the flames of the divine ability. Existences at the Treasure Artifact tier could change their sizes at will. Not to mention a Peerless Dao Artifact; in the past, even if Fang Han obtained a Peerless Dao Artifact, relying on his own cultivation, he could not possibly activate it.
But now, possessing the Spoon of the Barren God, even activating five Peerless Dao Artifacts in a single breath was not impossible.
Moreover, now that Fang Han had advanced to the peak of the Cosmic Light Realm, with a stable cave heaven, his capacity to ingest, expel, and purify the vital energy of the Immortal Realm had reached a terrifying degree. Every day, he could condense three to five million pure yang pills. But casually activating a Peerless Dao Artifact required hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions, hundreds of billions of pure yang pills. His meager capacity of ingesting Immortal Realm vital energy was pitifully weak.
However, for a normal Cosmic Light Realm cultivator, this was already an astronomical figure.
For normal Cosmic Light Realm cultivators, condensing several hundred thousand pure yang pills a day was their absolute limit. Fang Han was more than ten times greater than them. This quantity was already sufficient to activate a High-grade Dao Artifact.
But Fang Han now wanted to coalesce all his accumulations and laws to comprehend the true essence of creation! To step into the Creation Realm! Once he condensed immortal matter, he could then refine all the artifacts of the Eight Divisions Pagoda and the Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasure into High-grade Dao Artifacts. When that time came, his advance would truly be meteoric, allowing him to occupy a place in the heaven and universe.
At the Creation Realm, refining High-grade Dao Artifacts; legends stated that even if one snuck into the Immortal Realm, they would hold a certain status.
"Unseen heavenly will, creation secret realm, profound true essence of the firmament, yin and yang five elements, predestination and destiny, heaven and earth seamless, sun and moon reincarnation, universe transposition. Laws of time, laws of space, revolving spiritual consciousness, shedding true absolute sturdiness, liberation and salvation, bleeding soul…" Day by day, time passed within the Yellow Springs Diagram.
Ten years,
A hundred years,
Five hundred years.
Fang Han currently adjusted the time within the Yellow Springs Diagram; two hours outside equaled one hundred years inside. This terrifying time consumption required massive amounts of pure yang pills to support it. Yet Fang Han did not care. The pure yang heavy water and pure yang crystal mountain ranges inside the Spoon of the Barren God were far too numerous. Who knew how many trillions.
In this session of cultivation, Fang Han truly organized all his previous Dao techniques completely while solidifying his rapidly advancing foundation.
Engaging in prolonged meditation—hundreds of years, thousands of years of immersion and reflection—Fang Han's impetuous mind thoroughly calmed. All former impatience was transformed into the comprehension of laws.
The plundered temporal crystals of the Kunpeng, Taotie, and Yuan Wuzui were completely refined and comprehensively turned into his own by Fang Han.
One thousand years, two thousand years…
Fang Han's mind continued to sink into the comprehension of laws.
His mind seeped out of the Yellow Springs Diagram, perceiving the various immensities of the heavens and universe. Roaming within countless spatial and temporal gaps, observing endless suns, moons, stars, and universal matrices, his intent unexpectedly harbored a trace of unconstrained flavor. Free and unfettered, traversing heaven and earth.
Furthermore, within this comprehension of laws, Fang Han was still utilizing the Little Destiny Technique, continuously rotating it to inject power into the Human Emperor Pen's body. Then, he allowed the Human Emperor Pen to transform it into an unknown power, activating the fragment of the Good Fortune Divine Artifact within its body.
Fang Qingxue's cultivation also reached a major completion stage in the laws of space.
Feng Yaoguang's realm seemed to elevate quite swiftly as well. Just like Fang Qingxue, she cultivated the laws of space to major completion and was on the brink of comprehending the laws of time, preparing to reach the Cosmic Light Realm like Fang Han.
A full three thousand years passed.
Outside the Yellow Springs Diagram, however, merely sixty hours passed, nearing three days and three nights.
During these three thousand years of arduous cultivation, Fang Han expended no less than three trillion pure yang pills to operate the time power within the Yellow Springs Diagram, simultaneously providing vital energy for everyone's cultivation. Inside the Eight Divisions Pagoda, all the Heavenly Demons also began to advance. Countless Heavenly Demons cultivated to become Great Heavenly Demon Kings, and the number of Heavenly Demons at the Golden Core stage greatly increased. Now, a full thirty thousand Heavenly Demons had attained the Golden Core. Moreover, one thousand Heavenly Demons survived the tribulation of wind and fire, condensing Heaven and Earth Dharma Idols.
Regrettably, not a single Heavenly Demon advanced to the Undying Body. Advancing to the Undying Body meant becoming a demon god, bearing immense significance. With an abundant supply of pure yang pills provided by Fang Han for three thousand years, none had attained the level of a demon god, demonstrating the sheer difficulty of the longevity realms and becoming a Giant of the Ages.
However, Fang Han's confidantes—Fairy Crane, Long Xuan, Jialan, Princess Hongyi, Baby Star Cloud, the Demon Girl, the Black Nether King, and others—cultivated exceedingly fast. In these three thousand years of cultivation, Jialan and Baby Star Cloud unexpectedly manifested their own domains, stepping into the realm of the Undying Body.
Yet none of the ten great Undying Body giants within the Eight Divisions Pagoda advanced to the laws of space. The Five Sword Gentlemen and the Verdant Faced Venerable also failed to advance to the laws of time.
It was evident that the further one progressed, the harder realms were to elevate. Unless endowed with extraordinary innate talent, having limitless pills would be useless in cultivation.
"Three thousand years; three thousand years of cultivation consumed a full three trillion pills worth of pure yang vital energy, yet, regarding the reserves within the Spoon of the Barren God, this is merely one-thousandth." Fang Han calculated inwardly.
"Fang Han, the two of you, you and Fang Qingxue, activate the power of destiny once more. Fang Qingxue, unleash the soul brand of the Gate of Eternal Life to assist me with a final strike to refine this Good Fortune Divine Artifact fragment. I haven't been able to refine even a bit of it; right now, there is only one method, which is to suppress it utilizing the soul brand of the Gate of Eternal Life. The Gate of Eternal Life surpasses all existences; those who have seen it with their own eyes are those who comprehend creation. I had no such destiny to witness it, nor did the Three Sovereign Humans of Antiquity. Only you, the Heavenly Monarch Lightning Mother; you laid eyes on the Gate of Eternal Life, so only you can assist me!"
The Human Emperor Pen suddenly burst forth with a狂roar.
The winds and clouds altered color! The heavens and earth shook!
"Alright!"
Fang Han and Fang Qingxue shared a look and jointly activated the Little Destiny Technique once more. A phantom image of the Gate of Eternal Life thoroughly entered the Human Emperor Pen's body.
"Earth and Heaven as one! Operate and refine creation, Divine Artifact enter the body!" Roaring madly, the Human Emperor Pen's body trembled, appearing to endure a massive pressure. Its entire body morphed completely into a pen, and dense webbed cracks unexpectedly emerged upon its surface, as though some power had breached its ultimate limit.
Gazing at those dense cracked textures, Fang Han and Fang Qingxue met each other's eyes, both sensing a shock deep within their hearts. The power generated by every single crack could directly tear apart numerous planets.
The moment the brand of the Gate of Eternal Life entered the Human Emperor Pen's body, it expanded tenfold, enveloping that fragment of the Good Fortune Divine Artifact, which was only the size of a fingernail. Nothing could destroy that fragment, yet now traces of melting appeared.
Over three thousand years, relying strictly on the methods of a powerhouse like the Human Emperor Pen and unceasing refinement utilizing the Three Thousand Great Daos, not a single fraction could be refined. Yet now, before the brand of the Gate of Eternal Life, everything was but a fleeting cloud, and it unexpectedly disintegrated. This was an instinctive coercion; even the legendary Good Fortune Divine Artifact, uncraftable by immortals, could not withstand the majestic brand of the Gate of Eternal Life.
Crack!
This fragment broke open completely, then transformed into a vast surge of power rushing through the Human Emperor Pen's body. Instantly, those fissured textures on the pen's body began to mend. The entire body, forged of Heavenly Crystal Stone, shifted to a faintly dark-gold color featuring hues of primal simplicity originating from primordial chaos.
"Hahahaha, hahahahahaha." The Human Emperor Pen's power demonstrated an explosive surge: "Now, I have refined this Good Fortune Divine Artifact fragment. My body formed of Heavenly Crystal Stone has finally transformed into a trace of Creation Crystal. With my current strength, even an Void Immortal would have their teeth knocked out by me, and a True Immortal could do nothing to me. Even if the true form of Supreme Emperor Heaven descended, he could only stand as an equal to me. Provide me my pen tip, and I can slice through ordinary immortal artifact restrictions; not even immortal artifacts can imprison me."
