"The Great Immortal Art of Ghostly Axe and Divine Work! Truly worthy of being a supreme learning of the God Race! Unfortunately, this Dao art is incomplete. If I truly learned the ninety-nine types of three thousand great dao arts and fused them into one to turn into Ghostly Axe and Divine Work, just what realm of power would that reach?"
Casually swaying his body, Fang Han clearly "perceived" his appearance when transformed into a large axe. The matter of his entire body underwent a fundamental change, but his magical power was also being intensely consumed.
He felt that maintaining the form of Ghostly Axe and Divine Work consumed magical power by no less than ten thousand times more than his usual execution.
Every single breath consumed nearly one billion or ten billion pills' worth of Pure Yang immortal qi. With his own intake capacity, he simply could not execute it. However, the power of this one axe strike was probably not much different from the Undying Ancient Thunder Cannon, and even surpassed it.
"I wonder how Senior Sister Qingxue and the Human Emperor Pen are doing right now? Has their cultivation elevated? Logically speaking, if the fragments of the Artifact of Creation can truly be found and refined, Senior Sister's cultivation will probably elevate rapidly. The City of Violent Thunder would elevate even more. I know now that the City of Violent Thunder has probably also suffered calamities."
Thinking of the Undying Ancient Thunder Cannon, Fang Han involuntarily thought of Fang Qingxue.
Crack, crack, Fang Han dispersed the Great Immortal Art of Ghostly Axe and Divine Work, and subsequently returned to human form. His vital energy consumption plummeted, and his body felt relaxed. The cost of executing this immortal art was exceedingly high, but anyway, it was much better than consuming lifespan.
Ten thousand years' time, a full ten thousand years' time, it had finally been successfully refined! While outside, only three days had passed. Fang Han had consumed a full ten trillion pills and more.
Yet the Eight Legions Pagoda was not brought inside to cultivate.
Because if it were inside, past ten thousand years, those demon gods would have all died of old age. The Golden Core heavenly demons inside would have died in massive swaths. If any changes occurred within, True Lord Ku Rong would take the opportunity to flee.
"Guardian Light! Great World Art! Great Protection Art! The two combined, invincible immortal art!" Fang Han casually moved, and surrounding his body, a patch of light was released. This was exactly the most powerful protective capability, Guardian Light. During these ten thousand years, he also successfully cultivated the combination of the Great World Art and the Great Protection Art, generating an immortal art.
The Guardian Light formed patches of immortal shields. Relying on his own abilities right now, Fang Han could perfectly well resist the attacks of an expert at the "World King Realm".
The Great Immortal Art of Ghostly Axe and Divine Work, extreme attack; Guardian Light, extreme shield.
The two immortal arts complemented each other perfectly.
However, for the Great World Art, Fang Han still needed to truly possess the power of the world to be able to unleash its massive power.
"Fang Han, back in the years, the Great Emperor of the Yellow Spring forged ninety-nine types of divine abilities into an immortal art, reincarnating through ten thousand lifetimes." Yan said: "Once you learn the Great Reincarnation Art, enter the Yellow Spring Treasury, and obtain the inheritance of this immortal art. The more formidable the immortal, the more formidable the immortal art they create by combining the three thousand great dao arts."
"I will go sooner or later. But although I have cultivated for ten thousand years, my Heaven's Position laws have not been consolidated much. It seems reaching my current realm, bitter cultivation no longer has much major effect." Fang Han sighed: "Sitting in seclusion for a longer time is nothing but a waste of time."
Although he successfully cultivated two great immortal arts and learned three types of three thousand great dao arts, Fang Han felt his Heaven's Position laws had not made much progress. Nor did he feel any intention of breaking through to the World King Realm.
Ten thousand years of bitter cultivation offered little help to his realm.
"Although the lifespan of a Dao cultivator is long, it is too time-consuming. Merely bitterly cultivating two Dao arts took ten thousand years. Truly, the years are long, but human life is short. In the mundane world, ten thousand years can develop a civilization and change dynasties dozens of times for mortals."
Fang Han sighed frequently.
Standing up from the nest of the Three-Headed Owl, he actually began lamenting the shortness of human life.
In ten thousand years, how many things could happen? In the mundane world, it could brew a vast historical volume of civilization. Yet for a cultivator, it was merely the effort of sitting in seclusion for a while.
How much life did cultivators have to squander?
"Great World Art, Great Ku Rong Art, Great Acupoint Art, Great Sacrifice Art, Great Calamity Fortune Art, Great Tracking Art, Great State Art… I have now learned another seven types of three thousand great dao arts." Fang Han silently operated the three thousand great dao arts in his body, nodding secretly. He took the Yellow Spring Diagram into his body at once. Into the center of his brows, the Seal of the Common People and the Eight Legions Pagoda entered his body. The water and fire twin wings flew into his cavern heaven.
He completely restrained his aura, while simultaneously contemplating what to do next.
Just at this moment, suddenly, within this primal forest, a patch of roaring sounds transmitted over.
The planet Fang Han resided on had zero human population; everywhere were lush plants, humid air, and a bright sun shining high in the sky. Vicious beasts and fierce birds grew here, and many rare medicinal materials also grew here. But it seemed no cultivators were cultivating here. Because this planet was deep within the Starry River of Heavenly Death, sparsely populated, a Void Immortal expert would have to fly for a long time, let alone ordinary experts.
"What is that?"
Fang Han leaped up from the nest of the Three-Headed Owl, and saw in a valley roughly a thousand miles away, seemingly several streaks of brilliance combating a fierce beast.
That fierce beast was an immemorial violent ape, ten zhang tall, hands like door panels, fangs jutting out, incomparably ferocius. It could actually leap and fly. As its whole body turned, a streak of astral qi shot out violently. It executed a divine ability! It was actually of the Monster Race!
And combating this fierce beast were several cultivators dressed in jade-colored clothes. These cultivators had decent cultivation bases; they were experts at the seventh level of the Divine Ability Mystical Realm, the Golden Core, and above.
Several cultivators—two middle-aged men, a middle-aged beautiful woman, and an old man—tightly surrounded this fierce ape, displaying various magical treasures to trap it, preparing to capture it alive.
This fierce beast ape was unexpectedly an expert at the ninth level of the Divine Ability Mystical Realm, a great demon who had condensed its life-source Heaven and Earth Dharma Form. Relying on its innate immense strength, majestic demonic qi, combined with a set of profound cultivation techniques, its strength was originally extremely formidable. However, those four Golden Core cultivators possessed numerous magical treasures on their bodies, and even possessed low-grade Dao Artifacts, so this fierce beast ape was at a disadvantage.
"Where did these cultivators come from? This ape does not seem to be wild either." Fang Han felt doubtful in his heart, holding back from taking action.
"Junior Sister, capturing this Demonic Ape alive is恐怕 not going to be easy; you must use the Poison Dragon Incense to paralyze it. Our excursion this time is considered somewhat fruitful. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to recoup the pills for the teleportation array. This ape of the ninth level of the Divine Ability Mystical Realm is a disciple of the Divine Ape Teaching. On its body lies a supreme divine ability created by Yuan Zhenhong, the Great True Ape Divine Transformation. If we can capture it alive, it can be sold for at least a few million Pure Yang pills. Then our teleportation array costs will be recovered."
"Mm, true. Unfortunate that the Poison Dragon Incense is not cheaply valued."
"Capturing him, we can still earn one or two million pills. On this uninhabited planet, there are also many medicinal materials and fierce beasts. If we scrape things clean, we can make quite a bit. The key is this ape; we chased him for three months, tracking him across several planets. Letting him escape would truly be a pity. Plus, the Mysterious True Exotic Fruit he gathered on him has a value of ten million!"
"Mm, indeed that Mysterious True Exotic Fruit. If we can obtain this fruit and contribute it up, our status in Fenbaoyan will rise greatly. We would likely be promoted to inner sect disciples."
"Fenbaoyan?"
Hearing these words, Fang Han finally remembered.
It seemed that when he entered Fenbaoyan, he saw some low-level outer sect disciples wearing these jade-colored clothes. To think that deep inside this Starry River of Heavenly Death, he would actually encounter Fenbaoyan disciples. It appeared that on a planet not far deep within this area, there could likely be a secret teleportation array belonging to Fenbaoyan.
One must know, deep within this Starry River of Heavenly Death, on some primeval planets, no one had visited for hundreds of millions of years, growing many naturally endowed precious materials to be harvested.
However, Fenbaoyan's capability to establish a teleportation array deep in this starry river was considered immensely powerful! It completely surpassed whatever True Lord Tower or Heaven and Earth Hall.
Having mingled in the Cultivation Great World for quite a while, Fang Han also perceived that the Cultivation Great World covertly deferred to Fenbaoyan. The master of Fenbaoyan was called the "Treasure Master".
Yet Fenbaoyan did not belong to a chamber of commerce. The number one ranked chamber of commerce belonged to someone else, named the Horizon Azure Country. It pertained to an extremely mysterious grand organization.
This grand organization, Horizon Azure Country, vaguely split dominance with Fenbaoyan into two halves.
"Poison Dragon Incense!"
During Fang Han's observation, among the several Golden Core cultivators, the middle-aged beautiful woman held a stick of incense in hand. The moment this incense was slightly lit, it transformed into countless wisps of smoke. That smoke resembled toxic dragons spreading across the void. Upon slightly burning, the fragrance penetrated into the treasure light surrounding the giant ape's body.
Wooo, wooo, wooo!
This giant ape immediately felt its strength soften and muscles numb, as if it was about to faint.
"Not good, Demonic Ape Giant Transformation! Devour the Sun and Spit the Moon!"
The giant ape let out a loud roar. Its whole body vibrated and exploded, astral qi shooting out from all over its body. With just one strike, it shattered the treasure light and flew outward.
"Hurry up and chase! This beast is poisoned by the Poison Dragon Incense and won't last long, now it wants to run away." The middle-aged beautiful woman shouted anxiously, chasing toward the ape.
Just at this moment, suddenly in front of the ape, a giant hand covering the sky appeared.
This giant hand covering the sky carried ghastly demonic qi, directly snatching the ape into its palm, and subsequently vanished. And at the top of a large tree where the ape disappeared, appeared a man with blonde hair, blue eyes, and wearing yellow clothes, resembling a barbarian.
"Who is it!"
"Courting death! Actually daring to take advantage of us."
The several Golden Core cultivators immediately became furious, separately attacking toward that blonde-haired, blue-eyed barbarian man.
"Fellow Daoists, stop! I am Prince Wula! Just accidentally came upon this planet! I'm already lost." This barbarian man immediately said: "This ape, I caught it for you." While speaking, he shot out a patch of brilliant light, resisting the sword glints of these several cultivators.
"Stop, this person is a giant of the ages!" Upon seeing this patch of golden light, the several Golden Core cultivators immediately withdrew their magical treasures.
This barbarian man was none other than Fang Han in disguise.
Fang Han blocked these sword glints but did not strike back. Instead, he tossed out a crystal sphere. Inside the sphere, the giant ape roared relentlessly but could not break out.
This crystal sphere spun round and round, falling into the hands of the several Golden Core cultivators.
