Involuntarily tracking the bearded robust man, Fang Han actually discovered quite a few secrets of Fenbaoyan.
If it weren't for this bearded robust man breaking through the restrictions ahead, Fang Han could not possibly have discovered so many spaces within Fenbaoyan. Now this bearded robust man stopped outside the crystal wall system filled with curses, remaining quiet, seemingly contemplating something. He didn't act for a long time. Suddenly, his world expanded at once, and then transformed into the size of a person. It still turned into the appearance of the bearded robust man.
However, the bearded robust man at this moment no longer had the wretched appearance of the Undying Body from before. Instead, he was fierce and overbearing, wearing a pair of leather boots on his feet and donning bronze armor. His exposed muscles knotted together like divine dragons, displaying an explosive power capable of destroying everything. He was actually much more tyrannical than the Nine Cauldrons Immortal Venerable and the Divine Beast Bai Xi.
He was a peak expert at the "Realm King Realm."
He was already capable of turning his world into dust.
Only one step away from the Cave Heaven Realm.
Moreover, Fang Han clearly sensed that this bearded robust man had only released a portion of his laws, and there was still a massive seal remaining within his body. It was out of fear that unraveling the seal and leaking the immense power within his body would alarm the powerful existences inside Fenbaoyan.
"Enough, the power of the peak of the seventh stage of Longevity, the Realm King Realm, is already enough to use. If I unravel the Cave Heaven laws, that power that swallows and spits liquid Immortal Realm vital energy would be too powerful, and it would startle the artifact spirit of Fenbaoyan. But fortunately, the timing I chose is just right. The artifact spirit and the Treasure Master of this Fenbaoyan are both in closed-door cultivation, cultivating together, attempting to condense the laws of the Immortal Dao. Within the massive main body of Fenbaoyan, they cannot attend to the countless spaces, which perfectly allows me to find those important things and the existence of the seals."
The bearded robust man said, muttering to himself.
"What is this robust man searching for? Watching him mutter to himself, it seems his identity is extraordinary. He is absolutely a tyrannical figure; I cannot suppress him."
Fang Han really wanted to suppress the other party down at once.
Unfortunately, due to suppressing True Lord Kurong right now, he had diverted a lot of his energy. He could only unleash half of his full bodily strength; unless he completely refined or released True Heavenly Monarch Kurong, he would remain in a state of exhaustion like this.
Not to mention, they were inside Fenbaoyan now. If a massive battle drew attention, he would definitely die without a burial place.
Fang Han had already witnessed the perils of Fenbaoyan. Entering deep into it, among the boundless spaces and crystal wall systems, even a Void Immortal would lose a layer of skin.
He could only sit still and watch the changes, to see what exactly the bearded robust man was searching for, and whether he could reap some cheap benefits from it.
"Hmph! This cursive crystal wall system might not necessarily be able to block me. Decadence of myriad laws, Age of the Doomed Dharma!" The bearded robust man gritted his teeth, and suddenly from between his eyebrows, an eyeball shot out. This eyeball was actually the "Eye of the Doomed Dharma," and it was a half-peerless-grade Dao Artifact. Arrays of the light of the Doomed Dharma shot out from it, illuminating the crystal wall system. Unexpectedly, the curses upon it dispersed one after another, unable to attach onto a person's body.
"What a good Eye of the Doomed Dharma." Fang Han increasingly held his breath, turning the Yellow Springs Diagram world into spatial dust, floating together with as much spatial dust as the sands of the Ganges River, their auras merging with each other.
Cultivating to the peak of the Realm King Realm and having a complete world, one could not only expand it to encompass a hundred and eighty thousand miles, but could also condense and shrink it down into a speck of spatial dust, concealing one's form so that no one could discover it.
Although Fang Han was currently still at the Heaven's Mandate Realm, the Divine Beast Bai Xi was at the peak of the Realm King Realm. Utilizing him together with the various profound mysteries of the Yellow Springs Diagram and the Common People's Great Seal, unless it was a Void Immortal, it was impossible to discover anything unusual within the spatial dust.
The bearded robust man utilized the "half-peerless-grade Dao Artifact" Eye of the Doomed Dharma on his forehead to gradually shatter the curses. However, after those curses were scattered, more curses materialized, arising and perishing consecutively, growing ever thicker. This displayed the true formidable aspect of this crystal wall system. Relying on intuition, Fang Han felt that if he used brute force, he might be able to smash apart those curses, but to do so silently and without startling anyone was impossible.
"Burning lifespan, thirty-six thousand years, all heavens of myriad laws, gods and buddhas vanish, men have the decline of men, earth has the destruction of earth. All withdraw and disperse!" When displaying the Eye of the Doomed Dharma, a ferocious smile appeared in the bearded robust man's eyes. A full thirty-six thousand years of lifespan burned on his body, condensing into a beam of light as fine as a trivial hair.
Pfft, this tiny beam of light shockingly pierced right through the crystal wall system at once.
Following closely, in a thousandth of a split second, he transformed into a pinhole-sized world and drilling inside.
"Follow him quickly, otherwise I won't be able to ascertain the secret." Fang Han's heart tightened. He unleashed various Daoist techniques to cover up his aura, followed closely behind, and drilled inside as well.
Fortunately, the bearded robust man did not seem to have noticed.
Rumble!
Passing through this sturdy crystal wall system filled with restriction formations and curses at once, Fang Han felt as if he had traveled back to ancient times. He felt there was a startling reversing force in the time inside here, as if it was operating against the wheel of the time laws of the myriad realms of all heavens.
"Fang Han, look! What place is this?"
With Yan's exclamation, an endless and boundless void appeared before Fang Han's eyes. The void was pitch-black, cold, harsh, grim, with no obstructions, as if space had been stripped of its stars. Fang Han extended his divine sense slightly, and shockingly, couldn't sense the boundaries. This shock was no small matter.
One must know that with Fang Han's current cultivation, a deep probe of his thoughts could cover a planet. Yet he couldn't probe the boundaries. How vast must this pitch-black outer space be?
Especially in the depths of this dark outer space, it wasn't not completely empty. Instead, within the darkness drifted an array of massive coffins.
Among these coffins, some were wooden, some were stone, some were iron, and some were bronze.
In the center of the multitude of coffins, there seemed to be an ancient divine coffin reaching a million miles in length, lying dormant in the depths of darkness like a divine dragon. It resembled a primordial divine city suppressing the Nine Abysses and Nine Hells.
Millions upon millions of coffins drifted in the dark void, radiating waves of eerie strangeness, giving one a hair-raising sensation. Fang Han dared not make a rash move; it seemed that terrifying beings were sealed within those coffins.
"Yan? Exactly what kind of magical treasure is this Fenbaoyan? Do you know? What in the world are these coffins? Bai Xi, do you know?"
Fang Han's condensed minuscule spatial dust remained motionless as he spoke cautiously.
"I don't know. Although the Yellow Springs Great Emperor visited the Great World of Cultivation before, he always came and went in a hurry, merely purchasing some rare materials to refine magical treasures. However, it is certain that a long time ago, Fenbaoyan was not a peerless-grade Dao Artifact, but an immortal artifact that encountered tribulation. In rumors, powerful immortal artifacts will suffer tribulations, and if they can comprehend profound mysteries amid the tribulations, they hold hope of advancing into Good Fortune Divine Artifacts. Just as the saying goes, achievements partaking in the nature of Good Fortune."
Yan shook its head: "I don't know what kind of spaces are here either, but I constantly feel that this must definitely be a perilous place."
Bai Xi interjected: "Master, Fenbaoyan is an immensely mysterious treasure of our Great World of Cultivation. Aside from the Treasure Master, no one knows the profound secrets inside it."
"Forget it, let us still sit quietly and watch the changes. Don't go touching those coffins! Look, the bearded robust man has taken action!"
Fang Han then saw that upon seeing the tens of thousands of coffins drifting in the dark outer space, an excited look finally appeared on the bearded robust man's face. He mumbled in his mouth, seemingly chanting something, using an incomprehensible language. Although Fang Han could now understand the ancient Dragon language, the language of the God Race, and even the language of Buddha and demons, he couldn't understand a single bit of the language spoken by this bearded robust man.
"Heaven and earth jump, Greater Shifting Technique."
The bearded robust man was meticulously cautious as well. He impressively executed the Greater Shifting Technique, approaching the thousands upon thousands of coffins, weaving through them, not daring to touch a single coffin, nor daring to look at what was contained within the coffins.
His body was clearly heading straight for the massive divine coffin located in the center of the millions of coffins. It seemed that in the core of that enormous divine coffin was a heavens-shaking treasure, and obtaining it would mean dominating the universe, turning the tide, and recreating heaven and earth.
Fang Han naturally trailed him quietly.
Along the way, brushing past certain coffins, Fang Han clearly saw the form of those coffins. First were some wooden coffins. The wooden age rings upon them spiraled round and round, appearing incredibly ancient, yet bearing no traces of decay.
There were spots of bloodstains on the coffins. Additionally, there were some twisted runes. Stripes of runes locked them up tight, as if sealing the most terrifying evil spirits and malicious demons in the universe, which, once unleashed, would plunge the world into chaos, bringing storms of blood and nightmares.
Fang Han slightly brushed against a wooden coffin, gently maneuvering his divine sense, attempting to penetrate the coffin to see exactly what was inside it.
Who would have thought that before his divine sense could even touch the interior of the coffin, it was devoured by an insidious, cold intent.
Wa!
Fang Han's mind instantly shuddered endlessly, pierced by intense pain, as if a chunk of flesh had been bitten right off his body. His face turned pallid, immensely shocked: "What terrifying thing is inside this coffin, that it can actually devour my divine sense?"
Not only that, Fang Han also felt a mysterious curse invading through the void. In a fleeting instant, it pierced through layers of protection and the barriers of space and time, entering his mind.
"My soul, shall transform into an abyss of all evil, spawning infinite malicious spirits to corrupt all heavens… My flesh and blood, curse… heaven and earth shall eventually decay… My eyes, turn into malevolent stars to corrupt the earth! My skeleton, turns into malevolent soil to breed demons! My heart, transforms into the source of evil to nourish devious fiends; my teeth, turn into mountains of evil to forge demonic weapons, slaughtering living beings…"
Amidst this wave of cursing, Fang Han seemingly heard a group of oddly powerful entities performing sacrifices and curses. Through the most venomous curses using their own souls, flesh and blood, eyes, hearts, skeletons… and other body parts, this was a curse technique so evil that not even the Grand Cursing Technique contained such malice. It felt akin to the existence of an immortal technique.
Rumble rumble!
This curse, an incredibly powerful aura of resentment, rushed into Fang Han's mind. Even worse, inside the Eight Divisions Pagoda, the full tens of millions of Heavenly Demons were instantly contaminated. These Heavenly Demons let out agonized roars, and their bodies began to melt; their souls transformed into a space filled with vicious and resentful energy, their flesh and blood started to cause certain spaces within the Eight Divisions Pagoda to decay, and their eyes, skeletons, hearts, and teeth indeed all began to mutate, exactly as described by the resentful energy and the curse.
"How can it be so formidable!"
Without hesitation, Fang Han opened his mouth and spat, projecting forth the runic symbol of the World自在 King Buddha. It revolved within the Eight Divisions Pagoda, eradicating the evil karma.
