As soon as Young Master Qi Minghao was suppressed in the Supreme Dragon Pearl, Fang Han was thoroughly satisfied.
No matter what, he now had the capital to negotiate.
Super great capital to negotiate with various chambers of commerce. These young masters were important figures within the chambers of commerce, controlling a massive amount of business, and were deeply favored by the masters of those chambers. They were themselves outstanding geniuses among the many disciples. If the masters of those chambers of commerce were to directly abandon these disciples just to kill Fang Han, Fang Han felt it was impossible.
Therefore, Fang Han did not intend to refine these young masters but to use them as "hostages" to negotiate with those chambers of commerce.
Sure enough, the moment Fang Han captured Young Master Qi, he immediately began to threaten True Lord Kurong, demanding that he surrender without a fight.
"Junior! Even if I have to sacrifice the life of Young Master Qi today, I will absolutely kill you! If you want me to surrender without a fight, that is impossible. I am an expert at the eighth level of the Longevity Realm, the Mixed Hole Realm! A peerless figure! If I am threatened like this today, how can I survive the Immortal Realm lightning tribulation and become a False Immortal in the future!"
However, it was obvious that True Lord Kurong did not accept Fang Han's threat. As a peerless powerhouse of the Mixed Hole Realm, he was only one step away from achieving False Immortal status, free from disasters and tribulations. Throughout the long years of cultivation to reach this stage, who knows how much hardship and torment he had endured; how could he give up his life and cultivation for a young master? Even for a biological father, mother, or son, he would not give them up.
Cultivators primarily cultivate themselves; besides oneself, there is no one else, and nothing else matters.
True Lord Kurong had this realization. Otherwise, he would not have cultivated to this realm today.
Fang Han also naturally knew in his heart that saying such threatening words would only cause True Lord Kurong to have some misgivings. His true killing move was still to come.
Rip!
Amidst True Lord Kurong's towering rage, his body transformed into a wisp of a dark shadow, blinking everywhere, closing in on True Lord Kurong and striking down with a palm. His hand claws still transformed into the appearance of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, the sharp claws slicing open all space and piercing through.
"Junior, you dare to ambush me! Unfortunately, I have incarnated into a Mixed Hole and can fully activate the Supreme Grade Dao Artifact. I will let you know now the formidable power of this Boundless Constant Sand." While Fang Han attacked, True Lord Kurong's body shrank, unexpectedly transforming into a Mixed Hole, causing Fang Han's attack to land on nothing.
Following that, the Boundless Constant Sand was activated by him. A vast galaxy of gravel pierced through the void, rumbling and pouring down to cover the sky and earth. In just one hundred-millionth of an instant, Fang Han felt that his surroundings were entirely filled with gravel. Every single grain of that gravel presented a sharp octagonal shape, the eight corners corresponding respectively to the eight trigram directions of Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Ze, and Dui. They whirled and soared, swarming forward. With a slight mutual squeezing, they became as heavy as mountains, as if millions upon millions of mountains were crushing and grinding together. Every octagonal eight-trigram-shaped grain of gravel weighed an unknown number of tens of thousands of catties, and there was an attractive force between them. The gravitational pull within was ten times heavier than the Doumu Xuanming Star.
Woo woo woo, woo woo woo! Those grains of constant sand suddenly expanded again, extending out into infinite space. Those grains of constant sand suddenly transformed into individual planets, colliding with each other, making Fang Han appear as small as an ant by comparison.
At this very moment, Fang Han was like an isolated and helpless person standing amidst a starry sky, where countless planets were all enemies. Worldly planets were being destroyed, and amidst the collision of each planet, a massive gravitational force ripped from all directions, tearing his body's protective spiritual qi into pieces.
This Boundless Constant Sand, either silent or astonishing, possessed vast might. Among the many Supreme Grade Dao Artifacts Fang Han had seen, it could be ranked in the top ten.
Especially since this Boundless Constant Sand had not yet passed its lightning tribulation. If it were to pass, what level would its might reach?
This treasure was the lifelong painstaking effort of a False Immortal. Forged through hard training by the True Lord Tower Master, True Lord Qi.
"Formidable! But this treasure has not passed the lightning tribulation after all! Watch me break it open!" Wrapped within the Boundless Constant Sand, Fang Han activated the Supreme Dragon Pearl. The Eight Divisions Pagoda slowly rose above his head, protecting his body. Then, from between his eyebrows, the Myriad Beings Great Seal shot out once again. The shadow of the Extreme Dao Great Emperor and the shadow of the Limitless Great World erupted on it. With just one strike, it swept away those constant sands.
"Ten million magic treasures, myriad Dao Artifacts, erupt!"
With a turn of Fang Han's magic seal, countless drops of Pure Yang Pill origin energy, amounting to fully hundreds of billions, spewed out from the Key of the Desolate God.
Now that the Eight Divisions Pagoda had advanced to a Half-Supreme Grade Dao Artifact, and piled inside were tens of thousands of Dao Artifacts, the pills consumed with every activation were simply unimaginable to ordinary people. If Fang Han did not possess the Key of the Desolate God, he would absolutely have been unable to activate it.
In fact, items like the Eight Divisions Pagoda were not meant for figures in the Longevity Secret Realm to use. Only Dragon Emperors of the Immortal level were capable of possessing and refining it. If it truly were a Supreme Grade Dao Artifact, even Taihuangtian would not be able to activate it. A True Immortal, after all, was not a Heavenly Immortal who had entered the Immortal Realm; their capacity to inhale and exhale origin energy was not that vast.
Fang Han currently also rarely fully activated the Eight Divisions Pagoda. Although the inhalation and exhalation capacity of the Key of the Desolate God was massive, if he continued to consume like this, there would come a day when the pills stored within would run out. His possession of such powerful combat strength now was built on the foundation of the limitless consumption of pills. Once he had no more pills, his combat strength would drop by at least ninety percent.
However, right now, there were still many pills in the Key of the Desolate God! They could be squandered at will!
Hundreds of billions, approaching a trillion pills, were entirely injected into the Eight Divisions Pagoda. All the treasures within that Eight Divisions Pagoda truly activated, and every single magic treasure began to burst with berserk power.
"Buzz!"
Tens of thousands of magic treasures and Heavenly Demons gathered together, forming streaks of divine dragons. The scales of these divine dragons were individual magic treasures, and inside were the Heavenly Demons and numerous experts activating each magic treasure.
These divine dragons condensed from magic treasures and Heavenly Demons were holding a Supreme Dragon Pearl. This formed a picture of ten thousand dragons worshipping a pearl. At this very moment, the Eight Divisions Pagoda truly displayed the true might of a Half-Supreme Grade Dao Artifact.
The Myriad Beings Great Seal, tearing the Boundless Constant Sand!
The Eight Divisions Pagoda, erupting with tens of thousands of magic treasures.
The two complementing each other, with just a single burst, they charged out.
Fang Han then saw the endlessly shocked True Lord Kurong: "Kid, how can you possibly load so many magic treasures into the Eight Divisions Pagoda… Heavens! So many Dao Artifacts! Even Half-Supreme Grade ones! Ancient magic treasures! Even inside the Treasure Distributing Rock, these magic treasures wouldn't… Moreover, how do you have so much Pure Yang origin energy to activate these treasures! Just how many Pure Yang Pills do you have!"
True Lord Kurong naturally did not know that Fang Han possessed the Key of the Desolate God.
"Eighteen Tyrant Guards! Form the great array, dominate the world, I act as the array's core! Constant Sand Boundless Void!" Amidst his shock, True Lord Kurong showed no sign of weakness. Once again, he activated the Boundless Constant Sand, and the armor of the eighteen Tyrant Guards suddenly trembled in unison, emitting black qi soaring to the sky, forming a massive array. Then, True Lord Kurong flew into the great array, revolving endlessly as he flew up, intending to kill Fang Han.
"Unity between man and treasure, ten thousand dragons worshipping a pearl!"
Seeing this scene, Fang Han's body moved, merging into a single entity with the main body of the Eight Divisions Pagoda. Instantly, his main body transformed into a Primordial Ancestral Dragon. Heavenly Demons and magic treasures turned into divine dragons, surrounding his body, manifesting a rare and spectacular scene in the universe of heaven and earth. It actually held somewhat of the majesty of that day when Immortal Venerable Linglong executed the Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World Great Immortal Art.
In the blink of an eye, the divine dragon magic treasures barged into the great array. With a casual tear from Fang Han, that Boundless Constant Sand was ripped open, and in the center of the great array, he sought out True Lord Kurong's main body.
"True Lord Kurong, I said long ago that I need your Mixed Hole laws and world laws. Today, you have nowhere to escape." Fang Han's dragon claws continuously morphed, with countless runes leaping at the claw tips, clearly the bombardment of various Three Thousand Great Daos.
"Although you have many of the Three Thousand Great Daos, they are disorganized and have not been combined into an Immortal Art! I will let you experience now what is called a true Immortal Art, one withered one flourishing, tranquil and natural, uncanny workmanship, supreme and peerless! Great Wither and Flourish Art, Great Acupoint Art! Great Severing Art! Combine, Uncanny Workmanship Great Immortal Art!"
From True Lord Kurong's entire body, countless acupoints suddenly rushed out with airflow runes, which then combined with his own desolate world, and finally merged into the Great Severing Art. Instantly, his entire body transformed into a gargantuan axe. This axe surprisingly bore some resemblance to the legendary giant axe that had chopped down the World Tree. With a casual cleave of the giant axe, streaks of lines, like the qi of natural creation, poured down, shaping the universe of heaven and earth, opening up new space and time, and creating a new epoch.
Clang!
True Lord Kurong instantly executed the "Uncanny Workmanship Great Immortal Art," the massive axe slashing down upon the Eight Divisions Pagoda, immediately sweeping away thousands of magic treasures and violently colliding with its main body.
Fang Han immediately felt his true qi become unsteady, and the state of unity between man and treasure instantly separated.
Those thousands of magic treasures were also drawn back into the Eight Divisions Pagoda.
"My Uncanny Workmanship Great Immortal Art has only been cultivated to one-tenth of its might; this is a supreme art of the God Clan. I occasionally killed a God Emperor of the World King Realm and obtained the secret cultivation method of the Immortal Art from his body. This Immortal Art requires a total of ninety-nine of the Three Thousand Great Daos to fuse together, and I have only fused three of the Three Thousand Great Daos thus far, yet you still are not a match for it! Of course, this is because your realm is far inferior to mine; you are merely at the Heaven Output Realm right now!"
From within that massive axe, True Lord Kurong's voice emerged.
"Is that so? You know Immortal Arts, and I know Immortal Arts too! Watch my Holy Sacrifice!" Fang Han's body moved. The Yellow Spring Picture and the Myriad Beings Great Seal flew up, forming a dual layer of protection that resisted the massive axe. Following that, he smashed a punch toward his own Supreme Dragon Pearl. Instantly, a shadow within the Supreme Dragon Pearl let out a painful roar.
This shadow was precisely Qi Shaowei.
The young master of the Heaven and Earth Guild.
Fang Han could originally have broken the Uncanny Workmanship Great Immortal Art as well, but it would consume too much Pure Yang origin energy, and might even require consuming lifespan to execute the Minor Destiny Art, which he was reluctant to part with. Thus, he prepared to extract divine abilities from Qi Shaowei's body: the Great Tribulation Destiny Art and the Great Sacrifice Art from the Three Thousand Great Daos, combining them into the Holy Sacrifice Great Immortal Art. Then, he would holily sacrifice the numerous magic treasures on the bodies of these few young masters, borrowing a knife to kill someone, slaying True Lord Kurong in one fell swoop and once again enhancing his own power!
