Originally, within the "Saint Exterminating Grand Array," Fang Han was attacked and beaten until even his protective Creation Gang Qi ruptured, his essential qi constantly worn down. Things carried a hint of impending defeat. However, he was not so easily vanquished. Just as he was about to unleash his counter-attack methods and urge both the Treasure Distributing Rock and the Eight Divisions Pagoda in one go for a devastating bombardment, who could have known that the aura of the Ancestral Witch Mirror would actually draw out the Source of All Evil from deep within the Treasure Distributing Rock? The deathly gray hand manifested, sweeping away all obstacles.
Facing such an opportunity, how could Fang Han be willing to let it slip by? This was exactly his best chance. If he could kill several paramount Heavenly Immortal experts and integrate them into the Eight Divisions Pagoda, even if this magic treasure couldn't become a true fairy artifact, it could successfully metamorphose into a "semi-fairy artifact."
A Supreme Grade Dao Artifact and a "semi-fairy artifact" were different categories of their own.
If the Eight Divisions Pagoda transformed into a "semi-fairy artifact," it would be able to summon the true dragon power of the immemorial Ancestral Dragon from the void. It could even transform his own bloodline, allowing him to obtain the true bloodline power of the immemorial Ancestral Dragon, becoming a noble dragon bloodline from the splitting of heaven and earth, or even from before the previous universe.
Moreover, once the thirty-three heavens world formed by the Thirty-Three Heavens ultimate treasures acquired more immortal dao laws, it could draw even more Force of Creation from the air, providing unimaginably vast benefits.
What he targeted, above all, was the "Great Accomplishment Holy Saber"; he absolutely had to snatch it over.
When this "Great Accomplishment Holy Saber" was refined, it contained the dust of "Divine Immortal Skeletons," which were excellent materials for refining fairy artifacts. Had "Ya Zongdao" not accidentally discovered a "Divine Immortal Skeleton" back then, it would have been impossible for him to forge a fairy artifact while still in the Heavenly Immortal realm.
With the gray hand opening the way, Fang Han fully executed the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Fist, bombarding Ya Zongdao. At the same time, he and Mi Bao simultaneously urged the Treasure Distributing Rock to carry out suppression. Millions of glowing rays and a quadrillion true dragons forcefully grasped and seized, beating Ya Zongdao to the point of continuously dodging, completely breaking his state of the "Dao Follows Nature."
"Fang Han, you actually unleashed a thing like the Source of All Evil. It is simply intolerable to the heavens, intolerable to the world. Heaven above will punish you." Ya Zongdao's saber technique changed, and the boundless starry sky seemed to hang down, streams of star curtains attempting to wrap around that deathly gray hand of the Source of All Evil.
However, that deathly gray hand merely shuddered slightly, and all the saber light completely shattered into powder.
"Pfft!"
Fang Han bombarded heavily onto Ya Zongdao's body, causing this sect master's protective gang qi, along with his clothes, to begin shattering. The saber light of the Great Accomplishment Holy Saber dimmed, and dust settled over the fairy artifact.
The Treasure Distributing Rock descended from above his head, astonishingly pressing "Ya Zongdao's" back into a hunch.
"Innate Internal Qi, Qi King Divine Pill, detonate for me!"
Faced with this scene, Ya Zongdao also began to risk his life. Opening his mouth to spit, a medicinal pill as large as a watermelon shot out from deep within his world, looking like a star and radiating ten thousand streams of fragrance and red light. Suddenly shuddering, it detonated directly, astonishingly blasting the Treasure Distributing Rock away. He charged forth directly from amidst millions of explosive sounds, cleaving hundreds of millions of saber strikes. Every single saber strike contained the utmost principles of heaven and earth, flawless and perfectly round, like high mountains and flowing water, like ocean tides, and even more like a bright moon in the sky, or heavenly immortal music.
Regarding the application of saber techniques, it could be said that Ya Zongdao had cultivated to the absolute extreme.
The saber is the dao.
The saber is fundamentally the dao.
"Creation Divine Fist!" Fang Han was not the least bit afraid. The tortoise-shell-like battle armor surged up on his body once again. He let the saber light charge and crash against his body, sparking millions of sparks while he remained completely unmoving. He threw punch after punch, aiming straight for the vitals. As his footsteps trod, every single step caused the heavens to shake and overturn.
"Ya Zongdao, without the Saint Exterminating Grand Array to besiege me, and without me utilizing the Source of All Evil, you are fundamentally not my match. Did you think that the Dao Follows Nature could do anything to me? I will let you witness my true strength: the vanguard of destiny, the long river of fate!" All of a sudden, amidst the saber light, Fang Han began to burn his lifespan. A long river of fate appeared directly around him. Within that long river, every person, even Heavenly Immortals, could see their entire lifetime.
The moment this long river of fate appeared, it swept out directly. Countless saber lights merged into it, turning formless and thoroughly falling into depravity.
With his hands becoming heaven and earth, Fang Han closed them inward. Crack! All the saber light of the Great Accomplishment Holy Saber was clamped tight, and its main body was directly seized by the ten-clawed Ancestral Dragon hands, unable to move a muscle.
"Ah!"
Ya Zongdao's expression changed, and he prepared to withdraw his saber and retreat. However, Fang Han bullied his way forward and forcefully squeezed in. On his ten-clawed Ancestral Dragon hands, every single claw flashed with the brilliance of destiny, rendering him astonishingly unstoppable.
"I am risking it all!" Ya Zongdao channeled his Great Accomplishment Divine Fist and struck over with a punch. The two fists collided in mid-air, and instantly, consecutive explosions erupted on his body, flesh and blood flying as he was sent tumbling away backward.
As it happened, that deathly gray hand grabbed down right toward his body.
In this moment, his face turned deathly gray as well. He knew that being grabbed by the Source of All Evil was not like being struck by Fang Han, which could be repaired. Even if he was a supreme figure amongst Heavenly Immortals, being grabbed just once meant his soul would scatter and he would die an unnatural death. Dao Master Jade Firmament had just proven this scene.
"Sect Master!"
Right at this moment, the Ya Wuben beside him, with a freezing expression, suddenly brought out the fairy artifact, the Tianya Holy Dao Ruler, and sent it crashing toward that deathly gray hand.
The Tianya Holy Dao Ruler was a Low Grade fairy artifact. Although its power was not as strong as the Chaos Primeval Womb, the Treasure Distributing Rock, or the Eight Divisions Pagoda, it was still a fairy artifact after all. Possessing immortal dao laws and refined by ancient sages, as it charged upward, it instantly parted space and time, turning a one-inch distance into the extreme remoteness of Tianya.
Fang Han witnessed this moment. All the Dao Masters of the Tianya Sect moved closer to the brothers Ya Zongdao and Ya Wuben, while their space-time and the space-time where Fang Han resided were suddenly severed apart and drifted far away. No matter how that gray hand of the Source of All Evil grabbed, it seemingly could not close the distance.
"So close yet a world away, the separation of two realms," Mi Bao furrowed her brows.
That large hand of the Source of All Evil seemed to sense this as well. Its malicious qi instantly surged ten times fiercely. With a sudden extension—crack! It astonishingly swelled out of nowhere, filling the heavens and earth, grabbing directly at that Tianya Holy Dao Ruler.
This ruler seemed frightened, wanting to flee outward.
However, how could it escape the lethal strike of the Source of All Evil's massive hand? It was grabbed instantly, and then the ruler's body twisted in agony, like a giant serpent enduring roasting flames.
"Kill! The fairy artifact absolutely must not be lost!" Ya Zongdao's expression changed wildly. He executed the saber technique of the "Dao Follows Nature" once more and charged forward fiercely to rescue the Tianya Holy Dao Ruler!
"Good opportunity!"
Seeing this scene, Fang Han knew that an opportunity seldom seen in a thousand years had arrived once again. His body continuously shrank, leaping through the starry sky like a projectile, completely closing in on the numerous paramount figures of the Tianya Sect. His foremost target was Ya Wuben, and he blasted out a punch.
Within this punch, the phantom of the World Tree appeared, astonishingly forcefully bombarding open and entering Ya Wuben's internal world. It struck Ya Wuben so hard that he let out a miserable shriek.
"Ah!"
Ya Wuben had not expected Fang Han to suddenly appear before him so swiftly. Fang Han had just utilized the Blending with the Light and Dust Grand Immortal Array to execute a sneak attack, and this punch unleashed all of his power.
Ya Wuben's body was beaten until it directly caved in, and a burst of green light spread across his entire body. Following closely behind, root systems—green roots, branches, and tender sprouts—actually began to grow from his nose, mouth, eyes, and ears. Astoundingly, with one punch, Fang Han had driven the power of the World Tree and the Key of the Desolate God into his internal world, causing it to swell and instantly prop it open.
"Bang!"
Ya Wuben's entire body exploded.
Countless bits of flesh and blood scattered through the air, and a small world evolved into a cosmos, radiating immense power amidst the flesh and blood, continuously trembling. The power of each tremor could cause a star to disintegrate; this was the origin world of Ya Wuben, the Pavilion Master of the Tianya Sea Pavilion.
The absolute core power.
"I killed your son, and since you want to avenge your son, I might as well kill you and refine you alongside him. Cut the weeds and rip out the roots! Originally, I intended to go and wipe out the Tianya Sea Pavilion after the Divine Race tribulation, but who would have thought my wish would be fulfilled today." Having achieved success with one strike, Fang Han let out consecutive long whistlings, charging into the countless fragments of flesh and blood. He abruptly executed the Myriad Things Transforming into Dragon Art, while his hands simultaneously unfurled the grappling techniques from the Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Fist, instantly seizing the core of Ya Wuben's world origin.
"Fang Han, you animal, you want to refine me. I absolutely will not allow your scheme to succeed." Ya Wuben had gone mad. Waves of tremors emanated from his world origin laws, and countless fragments of flesh and blood gathered towards the center. Unbeknownst to what power he had utilized, he surprisingly reborn anew, transforming into a human figure and launching a counterattack toward Fang Han's lower abdomen.
"Soul Severing Tianya!"
Boom! An absolute art was unleashed from his hands, directly enveloping Fang Han.
However, Fang Han merely sneered continuously: "A desperate struggle on the verge of death; it is entirely useless." With a direct punch, he utterly shattered the absolute art of Soul Severing Tianya. Then, the ten-clawed Ancestral Dragon hands slammed down from head to tail, instantly grabbing onto Ya Wuben's hair. Instantly, streams of seals manifested on Ya Wuben's body. Streaks of chains thoroughly locked up his limbs, neck, and even his collarbones.
Furthermore, these chains pierced directly through his life primal world, binding his immortal dao laws. In the blink of an eye, it reduced him to a common mortal, thoroughly under Fang Han's control.
With one strike, Fang Han captured "Ya Wuben," the pavilion master of the Tianya Sea Pavilion, a grand Heavenly Immortal expert. This shocked all the members of the Tianya Sect into a daze, causing them to retreat one after another. Up until now, "Absolute Martial God" and "Dao Master Jade Firmament" had died by Fang Han's hands. Looking at it now, this "Ya Wuben" was also faced with much more ill fortune than good.
"Release my brother! You animal!"
When the white-haired youth sect master Ya Zongdao saw Ya Wuben get captured, his eyes turned blood-red. At this moment, he was fighting the deathly gray massive hand of the Source of All Evil. Originally, he was fundamentally not a match for the deathly gray hand of the Source of All Evil, but high up in the heavens, a cloud tempest of thunder was brewing. The aura of heavenly tribulation transmitted downwards, seemingly about to strike down. His Divine Immortal talismans flew out one by one, forming a grand array, which ultimately managed to withstand some of the might.
Rumble!
Right amid his mad howling, countless Destiny Star Lightning and Void Lightning suddenly descended from the sky, striking toward the deathly gray massive hand of the Source of All Evil.
