The Taiyi Sect had finally unleashed their ultimate killer move, clearly as a precaution against Fang Han executing the earth-shattering and ghost-weeping Minor Destiny Art.
The entire Temple of Disaster instantly turned into a grand formation. The numerous experts originally inside the Temple of Disaster were all pushed out by an immense power, descending onto the Plains of Disaster.
Among them, the three major sects—the Crystal Grotto-Heaven, the Cauldron Sword Sect, and the Sun Moon Sword Sect—were also pushed out from the main hall, falling into a world wrapped in a massive mass of disaster energy. All the experts of the three major sects could not charge their way out no matter how they tried.
"Taihuang Tian! Why are you confining us."
Elder Sword Madness of the Sun Moon Sword Sect roared loudly. This Elder Sword Madness had also cultivated to the Longevity Secret Realm now, with a fiery temper. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the Sun Moon Sword Sect wanted to flee but was confined, entirely unable to get out. He couldn't help being both shocked and angry.
"Today's Immortal Dao Assembly is not yet concluded. My Taiyi Sect upholds the talismanic decree of the Immortal Realm to integrate the Immortal Dao, merging all into my Taiyi Sect to jointly resist the God Race's great tribulation. Why do your three major sects wish to leave?" Taihun Tian's voice peeled out: "Wait until my Taiyi Sect annihilates this kid Fang Han; it won't be too late for you to merge into my Taiyi Sect then. If you do not agree, today next year will be the anniversary of your three major sects."
Taihun Tian spoke these words completely nakedly.
With matters reaching this stage, he no longer cared for superficial pleasantries; he insisted that the three major sects submit.
"Taiyi Sect, you dare! Our Cauldron Sword Sect, Sun Moon Sword Sect, and Crystal Grotto-Heaven all have inheritance lineages in the Immortal Realm. Doing this, are you not afraid of invoking the fury of the Immortal Realm?"
The Sect Master of the Sun Moon Sword Sect roared furiously.
"This is precisely the intention of the Immortal Realm. Moreover, among the Ten Great Sects of the Immortal Dao, aside from my Taiyi Sect being able to communicate with the Immortal Realm, none of you can. You can be called the abandoned pawns of the Immortal Realm, yet you dare to be so disobedient to commands! So be it, I will trap you first, then use my methods to kill Fang Han; you will naturally submit then."
Taixu Tian said coldly. Subsequently, his gaze swept across the millions and tens of millions of rogue cultivators on the Plains of Disaster, "Fellow rogue cultivators, for this Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation, there must be a core pillar, and my Taiyi Sect is that core pillar. The God Race's great tribulation is imminent, perhaps tomorrow, or even today. Without the support of my Taiyi Sect, you will all die. Now, those willing to merge and enter my Taiyi Sect, please enter the Taiyi Hall. We have reception elders there to guide you inside to become disciples of my Taiyi Sect."
"We are willing, we are all willing!"
Right then, countless rogue cultivators successively expressed their willingness to join the Taiyi Sect.
Immediately, on the Plains of Disaster, a massive space-time gate appeared. Deep within that space-time gate, an ancient and massive hall manifested; that was the "Taiyi Hall," the place where the Taiyi Sect recruited disciples.
"We would rather die than submit!"
The three Immortal Dao sects roared continuously, attempting to charge out and slaughter their way free. But it was to no avail. They were trapped by a massive mass of disaster energy.
"Hmph! Giving you face yet you refuse it! Since that's the case, I will send you into the ancient grand formation of the Temple of Disaster, letting your three major sects meet the same destiny as Fang Han, to all be killed and refined."
Looking at the Temple of Disaster transforming into an ancient grand formation, Taihuang Tian held a cold sneer on his face. He extended his massive hand, and a densely dark palm actually entirely wrapped up the three major sects, forcefully plunging them into the ancient formation. Following this, he turned his head and spoke to the two people beside him: "How about it? Heavenly Dao Dharma King, Six Paths Wanderer, what is your stance?"
Beside him were the leader of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion, the Heavenly Dao Dharma King, and also a Six Paths Wanderer; both were the masters of behemoth merchant chambers. But right now, they were also trembling with fear, unable to leave.
Taihuang Tian's strength was simply too tyrannical and domineering. A Heavenly Immortal expert with a semi-immortal artifact was enough to make a pompous display of power in any great world.
Although they were overlords of merchant chambers, they couldn't even rank in the top one hundred in the Great Cultivation World. How could they compare with Taihuang Tian?
"We are willing to support the Taiyi Sect, but please allow us to maintain our merchant chambers' independence. As long as you, Senior Taihuang Tian, can thoroughly kill Fang Han, we will be of one mind. Jointly resisting the Heaven and Earth Great Tribulation is also a certainty." The Six Paths Wanderer suddenly said.
"Indeed, Senior Taihuang Tian, if this Fang Han cannot be killed, even if we joined the Taiyi Sect, we would not have peace. The Nine Cauldrons Immortal Venerable was also killed by Fang Han. Like this, as long as the Taiyi Sect completely kills Fang Han, we will immediately submit thoroughly." The Heavenly Dao Dharma King also said.
"Good! Fang Han is indeed a large thorn in the eye. Without thoroughly uprooting him, not only will you feel uneasy, but I will also feel uneasy. But right now, my Taiyi Sect has already laid out the methods for an absolute kill, executing the ancient wondrous formation, the Profound Gate Calamity Ancient Formation. Obliterating Fang Han is just around the corner. Just watch. Dou Riluo, Yao Changtian, Bodhisattva Yuan Jue, Zhou Tian Immortal Venerable, Qi True King, Taihe Tian, Taixu Tian… Fellow Daoists, take your positions, and together, according to my guidance, operate the Profound Gate Calamity Ancient Formation. Annihilate the demon child."
Taihuang Tian flew above the grand formation and beckoned with his hand. The numerous invited figures immediately gathered into a circle, standing above the ancient formation, each channeling their true energy, Dao arts, and origin power into it. Some even permeated their primordial spirits within.
Numerous experts, now uniting their forces together, finally launched their ultimate killing techniques upon Fang Han.
"Oh no, Fang Han, we have been trapped inside the Profound Gate Calamity Ancient Formation. In antiquity, this ancient formation once manifested with boundless profundity. It is said that the Disaster Heavenly Monarch set up this formation, personally acting as the formation core to duel with the Divine Emperor Di Shitian of the God Race. When Divine Sovereign Di Shitian broke into it, he completely exhausted an endless amount of vital energy, and at the cost of losing his own natal King-grade immortal artifact, he finally charged his way out. Once this ancient formation operates, the calamities are endless."
Feng Baiyu's urgent voice echoed continuously within Fang Han's body.
At this moment, Fang Han was also caught completely off guard. Just as he executed the Minor Destiny Art, he was unexpectedly enveloped by the ancient formation of the Temple of Disaster, thoroughly trapped inside.
As that ancient grand formation shrouded over, he was immediately suppressed by a massive wave of destiny; no matter how he struggled, he could not leap out. The Temple of Disaster on all four sides collapsed and transformed into formation runic symbols; he was now completely trapped within endless, boundless primal chaos.
That primeval chaos constantly changed. Suddenly, with a tremor from the west, countless primal chaos vital energies turned into golden winds and blew over. The sky was filled with the howling of ghosts and wailing of gods; every stream of that golden wind was incomparably sharp, just like the attack of a supreme Dao artifact. Swish! Fully one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred streams of golden wind blew over, and Fang Han felt the scales on his body unexpectedly throbbing with pain. Being blown upon by those golden winds gave the sensation of being completely wrapped within a sword array.
This was the "Golden Wind Calamity."
Boom!
In the south, countless flames suddenly appeared. Burning over, those flames took the shape of Ruyi, covering the heavens and earth, burning all over the sky and fields, not inferior in the slightest to the Heaven Realm Cleansing Fire and the Floating Pagoda Dragon Fire.
Vast waters also surged from the north.
In the sky, multitudes of stars fell, and beneath his feet, waves of thick energy squeezed upward.
And within the Six Directions, countless white bone ghost claws, demon god black hands, and even various nether souls and devils completely permeated.
As this "Profound Gate Calamity Ancient Formation" was operated at will, it could evolve boundless and endless calamities. Whatever large number of calamities equating to great thousand worlds turning into dust there were in heaven and earth, this ancient formation could operate them all correspondingly.
In the blink of an eye, Fang Han encountered fully hundreds of types of calamities: "Golden Wind Calamity," "Earth Surging Calamity," "Water Disaster Calamity," "Star Constellation Calamity," "Void Calamity," "Emotion Extinguishing Calamity"… and so onto. These calamities surged forward incessantly, simply too numerous to enumerate.
"Fellow Daoists, heed my command, condense into one strand! With me as the center, reinforce the connection between Fang Han and the Eight Division Floating Pagoda. By no means must we let the state of man and treasure united between the Eight Division Floating Pagoda and Fang Han be completely shattered, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable, and we will all die." Within Fang Han's body, Feng Baiyu suddenly deployed some profoundly mysterious method. Spinning the Heavenly Emperor Mirror, the mirror's light illuminated inch by inch over all the experts, elders, and disciples of the three major sects. With a booming thud, the vital energy of all the disciples was thoroughly interlinked, and even their auras and magic treasures produced a feeling of inseparable flesh and blood connection.
The power of everyone from the three major sects permeated into every corner of the Eight Division Floating Pagoda through the light of the Heavenly Emperor Mirror. In an instant, all the dormant power of the Eight Division Floating Pagoda seemed to be activated, and the entire Floating Pagoda burst forth with radiant light.
Within the scales of Fang Han's Primeval Ancestral Dragon body, boundless radiance also shone forth.
With one tear of his claw, fully a hundred calamities were ripped apart; then with a swing of his tail, a long river-like thunderbolt was directly crushed to pieces.
"Taihuang Tian, can these calamities of yours stop me? It is truly laughable. Not only can these calamities not wear down my vital energy, but they instead provide me with even greater tempering, warming me up to undergo the Void Immortal Lightning Tribulation."
Amidst his long howl, Fang Han drove his power even more violently. Pushing his claw upward, the dragon claw expanded infinitely, intending to tear down the entire canopy of the firmament with one claw, "Even if it's heaven, I will still tear it apart with one claw."
The dragon claw expanded infinitely, surprisingly bracing apart countless great tribulations. Tenuously, within the outer void, Taihuang Tian and numerous others could be seen continuously operating the grand formation. Fang Han's claw almost broke out from within the grand formation.
"Not good, how ferocious!"
Zhou Tian Immortal Venerable had also occupied a position, continuously driving Void Immortal laws into it. But seeing the grand formation below gradually thinning out and Fang Han's dragon claws about to poke out, he couldn't help but pale in terror.
"Damn it, this is all Feng Baiyu executing the power of the Heavenly Emperor Mirror. Otherwise, that Eight Division Floating Pagoda would still be short of heat and could not achieve a complete state of man and treasure united. As long as it gets broken down by the calamities, that Fang Han will be utterly finished."
Taihuang Tian immediately saw what was happening, "Apocalyptic Doom Battle Banner, drop into the grand formation, increase the power of the calamities."
The massive Apocalyptic Doom Battle Banner crashed into the grand formation with a boom. Immediately, the disaster energy became ten times denser, concealing Fang Han's form once again.
