For a full two thousand years of condensation, all the various materials of the Eight部 Futu were refined, and the Indestructible Substance stuffed up every single magical treasure within the Eight部 Futu. In the end, they condescended into form, successfully summoning the source spirit of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon. It was right on the verge of advancing into a High-grade Dao Artifact, perhaps even acquiring the power of the world.
But at this very moment, Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable and Bai Xi revealed their sinister facets. Bursting forth at the last second, they surprisingly did not hesitate to abandon the nine Semi-Peerless State Tripods and the Eight Poles Golden Lock Returning to Origin and Refining Form Soul Transferring Grand Array. Transforming them into a desperate strike, they wrapped up that trace of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon's source spirit, sent it into the Eight部 Futu, and then refined the Eight部 Futu to advance it again into a Semi-Peerless Dao Artifact, claiming it as their own.
The nine State Tripods were the treasures upon which Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable had built his fame.
When Fang Han was still in the Divine Ability Secret Realm, he had heard of the majesty of Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable. He refined various Heaven-grade Peerless medicinal pills, and even traded in Immortal Pills.
The first Immortal Pill that Hua Tiandu purchased, the Life Creation Pill, was bought at an auction convention of the Nine Tripod Pavilion.
Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable's nine State Tripods were already a legend in the Xuanhuang World, an existence yearned for by countless grandmasters of artifact refinement and pill refinement. But now, they thoroughly exploded, transforming into a wild storm, decomposed by the Great Treasure Refining Technique, and forcibly fused directly with the Eight部 Futu.
Having refined the treasure for two thousand years, both Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable and Bai Xi had thoroughly comprehended the Great Treasure Refining Technique. Now, refining and seizing the treasure felt as natural as a fish in water to them.
They had been plotting this for a long time.
Bai Xi's Eight Poles Golden Lock Returning to Origin and Refining Form Soul Transferring Grand Array was refined from an unknown amount of materials. Now, it was entirely struck into the Eight部 Futu. At the same time, many more materials flew out from the intrinsic worlds of both men.
Those materials were even more abundant than what they had struck in earlier. Among them were even over ten Heavenly Dragon Emperors at the Cave Heaven Realm and Universal Time Realm who had comprehended spatial laws and time laws!
Fang Han even saw an old man wearing a crown, possessing a majestic body and dressed entirely in golden robes; even his beard was golden. He was actually a Dragon Emperor at the Creation Realm!
As soon as this Dragon Emperor was sent out, it let out an angry roar: "Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable, Bai Xi the King of Divine Beasts! You conspired to ambush me. I am the ruler of the Xin Heavenly Dragon Divine Kingdom! By capturing me, you intend to spark a war between the Cultivation Great World and the Dragon Race. When that time comes, even the Treasure Master will not be able to protect you. The merchant guilds of the Cultivation Great World—your White Emperor Merchant Guild and Nine Tripod Merchant Guild—will all be struck from the records!"
"Dragon Emperor Xin! Look, what is this? This is the Eight部 Futu, do you know of the Eight部 Futu? A supreme treasure of the Dragon Race!" Bai Xi's powerful divine sense boomed, "Being able to devote yourself for the Eight部 Futu is your honor! Shatter for me!"
The bodies of all these Dragon Emperors were completely shredded into localized masses of minced meat, and their various laws also permeated into the interior of the Eight部 Futu.
"Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable, suppress Fang Han!"
"Alright!"
This series of actions were as swift as lightning and struck flint, like lightning piercing clouds, sun and moon true astral winds, mapping out connate reincarnation. After finishing this series of actions, Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable abruptly revealed a hideous visage. He fully opened his world and wrapped it straight around Fang Han.
Along with it, the Eight部 Futu was also wrapped inside.
"You two have plotted this for a long time! But it is useless. This is the Cultivation Great World, and you are destroying the order of the Cultivation Great World!" Facing the suppression of Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable, Fang Han was about to erupt his power and launch a thorough counterattack. At the same time, his divine sense connected with the Eight部 Futu, striving desperately to fight for the control rights over the Eight部 Futu!
"Fang Han, did you think we would be so foolish as to make a move against you right in the Cultivation Great World! In truth, during the process of condensing the magical treasure just now, I already opened a space-time passage and executed a shift. We have arrived upon a sacred land left behind by the Dragon Race, Panlong Planet. On this Panlong Planet, there are numerous Dragon Race treasures that have not yet been unearthed. But with the aura of the Eight部 Futu, all those Dragon Race treasures will surface!"
Bai Xi sneered repeatedly. Time and space shifted violently. Subsequently, heaven and earth rotated; they were no longer inside the Cultivation Great World. Fang Han saw he was amidst a distant starry sky. Beneath his feet was a vast, incomparably massive planet. This planet was exceedingly familiar—it was actually Panlong Planet, the place where he had obtained the Dragon Race supreme treasure, the Heavenly Dragon Secret Manual. He didn't know why Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable and Bai Xi would also know about this place.
Back then, he had arrived on Panlong Planet by following the underground teleportation array of the Great Xuan Empire.
There were many Dragon Race treasures here.
"This Panlong Planet is what we struggled to calculate the heavenly secrets for, wasting our lifespans to divine. Only here can the Eight部 Futu be thoroughly refined and become a Semi-Peerless Dao Artifact. And you, will also be refined into the Eight部 Futu, serving as a sacrificial offering." Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable spread his world, letting it permeate outward. "Fang Han, originally I did not want to kill you, but the treasures you possess are simply too numerous. And although your cultivation is formidable, it is still relatively low. However, at your current speed of growth, I must kill you. Otherwise, in a few years, who knows what realm you will grow into! Therefore, you must die! Right now, you are like a three-year-old child holding gold while walking through a busy marketplace!"
"Say no more. Time is of the essence, act! This Eight部 Futu is going to transform immediately, and I can no longer suppress it. Accept the aura of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon from within it at once!"
Bai Xi wildly roared again. His body actually transformed into a form akin to a man, a dragon, a tiger, a leopard, with wings on his back, resembling a primeval giant beast. On his abdomen, countless barbs hooked hideously forward. The pristine white scales were full of immortal energy, lacking any trace of an evil aura, making him seem like a divine beast descended from the Immortal World.
A massive claw ruthlessly reached out, gripping the Eight部 Futu, and the Great Treasure Refining Technique was struck into it.
At this very moment, the Eight部 Futu began to spin. Within it, the cries of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon tore apart the entire earth and Panlong Planet everywhere. While resisting the world power of Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable, Fang Han saw that in some mysterious spaces of the entire massive Panlong Planet, the auras of many, many Heavenly Dragons surfaced. It seemed that the hidden Dragon Race treasures, stimulated by that trace of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon's source spirit aura, all surged forth.
The Primeval Ancestor Dragon, Father of All Dragons.
"Fang Han! We cannot hold on anymore! That Bai Xi's divine sense is invading our bodies! Quickly rescue us, or else the entire Eight部 Futu will fall under his control. This treasure is undergoing changes right now, its power elevating without end, and we cannot suppress it either! That trace of the Primeval Ancestor Dragon's source spirit inside has completely altered the Eight部 Futu."
Inside the Eight部 Futu, Daoist Mu, Daoist Dragon, Jialan, Green-Faced Venerable, Five Swords Gentleman, and the others were currently suppressed by the Primeval Ancestor Dragon's source spirit, along with the divine senses of Bai Xi and Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable, completely unable to move an inch.
"Kill!"
Fang Han knew that this very moment was the critical juncture, and there could be no weakness whatsoever.
"Water and Fire as one source! The Vortex of Heaven and Earth, the Wrath of the Flame Emperor!"
Swish!
Within the envelopment of Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable's world, from inside Fang Han's body, two rivers stretching one hundred and eight thousand miles—one of flames and one of Weak Water—charged out. Heaven and earth were filled entirely by the power of water and fire. The might of the two major Peerless Dao Artifacts, the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron and the Black Emperor Tide Pennant, was once again completely activated.
Instantaneously, Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable's world began to collapse.
Fang Han's body moved, leaping out from within. The two major rivers of flames and Weak Water behind him abruptly contracted, transforming into two pairs of wings continuously flapping on his back. One paired wing was of fire, the other of water. With every flap, boundless flames and water vapor crisscrossed across thousands of miles, making Fang Han's body flicker unsteadily and become extremely elusive.
"Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable, Bai Xi! During the two-thousand-year process of refining the Eight部 Futu, you obtained quite a few benefits, but the benefits I gained are even greater! Borrowing your Great Treasure Refining Incantations, I have already refined the Flame Emperor Fire Dragon Cauldron and Black Emperor Tide Pennant within my body to a state of supreme perfection! Integrated into my body, they transformed into these Water and Fire Twin Wings. What do you think? My current speed and shifting abilities are entirely beyond what you can imagine. Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable, take my punch!"
As Fang Han's divine sense echoed out, the "Water and Fire Twin Wings" on his back flapped slightly. His entire body vanished out of thin air, and in the next moment, he appeared behind Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable's body, throwing a punch out.
Rumble!
Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable's expression changed. He never expected Fang Han's speed to actually be this fast. His divine sense couldn't even keep track of it; it was as if Fang Han's shadows were everywhere between heaven and earth, yet nowhere at all.
He fiercely turned his head and threw out a punch, wanting to strike Fang Han away. But what Fang Han's fist unleashed was not his own divine ability astral qi, but a massive disk. This disk brimmed with the power of reincarnation. The phantom images of seventy-two demon gods spun upon it, completely blocking out the sky.
The Wheel of Reincarnation!
Taking a hit from the Wheel of Reincarnation, Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable's entire body began to shatter. His Semi-Peerless Dao Artifacts, the nine State Tripods, had already been sent into the Eight部 Futu. Now, facing a Peerless Dao Artifact barehanded, it proved rather difficult for him.
However, he was an expert at the World King Realm after all. Amidst these complex and ever-changing circumstances, his world suddenly compressed, transforming into a massive hand that surprisingly managed to grab and support the Wheel of Reincarnation in its palm.
"The power to lift the tripod! State and Cosmos, entirely within my grasp." Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable grabbed the Wheel of Reincarnation, opened his mouth, and fiercely sprayed out. Extruding a thick burning power of his lifespan, he actually started burning his lifespan to resist the Wheel of Reincarnation. "Fang Han, the Wheel of Reincarnation is a ferocious Dao Artifact, an existence comparable to an Immortal Artifact. Yet your realm is too low, and without the power of the world, you simply cannot drive a Peerless Dao Artifact. I shall let you know what the power of the State is! A myriad years of lifespan, instantly burned!"
Flames blazed on Nine Tripod Immortal Venerable's body; this was his lifespan diminishing. In a split second, he had burned away ten thousand years of lifespan. Above his hand, an illustration displaying the mountains, rivers, state, and cosmos formed, swirling endlessly. It surprisingly held off the Wheel of Reincarnation. Following this, his body trembled as he split out his other hand to violently claw at Fang Han's head.
With this claw, the power of its five fingers formed anew into a new world, once again wrapping Fang Han into it.
"Hmph! Such a level of world power simply cannot trap me!" Fang Han's Water and Fire Twin Wings flickered once again. He abruptly broke free from beneath that claw, preparing to execute his killing move, the Great Poison Technique.
But just at this moment, the Eight部 Futu roared continuously from within. The pagoda's body soared to a height of fully a hundred thousand zhang, and the source star core of Panlong Planet even seemed to vibrate along with it.
This supreme treasure had finally begun its transformation!
