"Young Master Muye, you must be careful. Our Heavenly Secret Pavilion of the Central Great World has received intelligence saying that for this seizing of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace's treasures, this kid Fang Han might appear." A Heavenly Immortal expert with a figure like a bamboo pole said.
"It is even better if he appears, then I can kill him right here." Young Master Muye grew increasingly excited, killing intent surging like a tide in his eyes, destroying spacetimes. As it radiated out wave after wave, it actually formed various illusions. The reflection of hundreds of millions of living beings and the birth and death of parallel spaces appeared in his pupils. It was unknown what kind of ancient divine ability fairy art he practiced.
"Our Central Great World and the Heavenly King Great World have set up an inescapable net outside the Taiyuan Immortal Palace, who could possibly break in? Even a Divine Immortal couldn't go undiscovered without a sound. In this Xuanhuang Great World, there is only one expert, called Immortal Venerable Linglong, a woman. The emissary descended from the Heavenly Realm said to set up strict defenses. But until now, with the Taiyuan Immortal Palace broken open, no trace of this woman has been found. It shows this woman does not dare to come either." Another behemoth Heavenly Immortal grand figure sneered repeatedly.
"Immortal Venerable Linglong? I have heard of her. This woman seems to have obtained a part of the Hongmeng Secret Hoard and cultivated to the Divine Immortal realm, now being the number one expert of the Xuanhuang Great World. However, even if she is a Divine Immortal, all the better! In the secular world, she is subjected to a massive degree of suppression. I, on the other hand, have not broken through, but possess the strength of a Divine Immortal inherently, which is fully enough to capture and kill her."
Young Master Muye sneered continually: "This woman, I hope she comes here this time, so I can use her to temper myself and refine her into my female slave."
"Young Master, you must absolutely not let your guard down. That Immortal Venerable Linglong is someone even the Divine Immortal Emissary can do nothing against, and she even obtained the assistance of three peerless experts: the Heart Demon Old Man, Demon Venerable Chiyuan, and the Human Emperor's Pen. Seeing how exceptionally bizarrely the magical treasures stored in these spaces disappeared, it is entirely possible that they have sneaked in."
"Is that so? That demon, the Heart Demon Old Man, wanted to establish the Heart Demon Great Religion in the Central Great World and was almost captured alive by us. I want to forge a demonic treasure, and am precisely lacking a Saint Demon to act as an artifact spirit. This old demon is just perfectly suitable, and I'll seal that Demon Venerable Chiyuan as well. As for the Human Emperor's Pen, this magical treasure is quite a good item, I must refine it."
Young Master Muye shot his divine thoughts out, seemingly making some calculations.
Right at this moment, swish swish swish… several flashes of brilliance descended from the sky. A man dressed in bright yellow clothes, wearing a True Dragon Crown, and stepping in golden war boots, strode forward proudly like a God of War.
Behind this man also stood several Heavenly Immortals, with an imposing aura capable of collapsing a star domain.
"Li Zha! What are you coming here for!"
Seeing this person, Young Master Muye's expression turned cold, as if he had run into his greatest rival.
"If you, Muye Yuan, can come, can I, Li Zha, not come?" The man, who looked like a golden God of War, maintained a very leisurely and lazy demeanor as he said: "After this Protoss tribulation passes, the ruler of your Central Great World and the ruler of my Heavenly King Great World will both ascend. When that time comes, the people who inherit these two great worlds, barring any accidents, will be you and me. Could it be that you want to cross blows with me right now?"
"Hmpf! Cross blows? What qualifications do you have to cross blows with me? The strength of my Central Great World is who knows how many times higher than your Heavenly King Great World." Young Master Muye said disdainfully.
"That's not necessarily certain. Once the ruler of the Central Great World ascends, if you inherit the position, it is possible this Central Great World will subsequently decline. At that time, letting my Heavenly King Great World take the number one position, because you are too arrogant. Muye Yuan, do you know? Being too arrogant will lead to you acting blindly. When you are defeated by someone, you will never recover." Said Li Zha, resembling a golden God of War.
"Haha…" Young Master Muye laughed loudly: "Looking across heaven and earth, who could defeat me? Could it be you? Li Zha, you can defeat me? Or are you dreaming a beautiful dream about defeating me?"
"That is also not certain." Thick battle intent shot from Li Zha's eyes: "But right now our two great worlds are collaborating, let us get the treasures of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace first. Tell you what, we can make a bet. How about we decide winners and losers?"
"No bet is a problem for me." Young Master Muye shrieked arrogantly: "What bet do you want to make?"
"Do you know that the Xuanhuang Great World recently produced a genius? A true peerless genius?" Li Zha said.
"Is it the one called Fang Han?" Young Master Muye said: "The one who stirred up the Horizon Sect and the Supreme Nine Purities Heaven into a mess. Rumor has it he only has the cultivation of a Virtual Immortal, yet can kill Heavenly Immortals?"
"Hm? You're quite well-informed. Truth be told, this matter has already spread to various factions. Many peerless geniuses within the factions remain highly unconvinced and want to seek this kid out to cross blows, thoroughly suppress him, and devour his wisdom. The bet I am making with you is to see who captures and kills Fang Han first. Whoever does it wins. In the future, upon meeting, the loser must bow respectfully and also give ten ancient Supreme-Grade Dao Artifacts that have passed the lightning tribulation, and one immortal artifact. How about it?"
"An immortal artifact? You actually want to stake an immortal artifact on the bet?" Young Master Muye was slightly surprised.
"What? You're scared? I know your cultivation did not come easily, and immortal artifacts are hard to come by, but if that's the case, you'd better not bet." Li Zha raised his head proudly.
"Fine! Bet it is, you think I would be afraid of you?" Young Master Muye's voice grew even sharper: "It's simply a joke. Although immortal artifacts are rare, my Central Great World is not unable to bring one out. Let's see who captures and kills Fang Han first. But I want to add another condition to the bet."
"Bet on what?" Li Zha blanked.
"Immortal Venerable Linglong, the number one expert of the Xuanhuang Great World, is right now a woman named Linglong. Let's bet on who can capture her and make her their own female slave. If anyone loses, they must sever their own cultivation! Do you dare to take this bet! If you don't dare, then you can just shrink back home."
Young Master Muye became even more vicious.
"Sever their own cultivation." Li Zha repeated the words one by one. Evidently, this bet was simply too heavy for him. Not just him, no one could bear such a consequence.
"What. You don't dare?" Young Master Muye shifted to a sneer.
"Truly worthy of Young Master Muye, open and grand indeed. In your Muye family's bloodline runs something of madness. It is rumored that you possess the bloodline left behind by the ancient Heavenly Lord of Warfare. Truly extraordinary." Li Zha said: "However, I accept."
"Good! Only this is worthy of my opponent. Let's just see who can kill Fang Han and subjugate Immortal Venerable Linglong during the great tribulation." Young Master Muye laughed heartily: "However, this time I will certainly obtain the immortal artifacts within the Taiyuan Immortal Palace, the three Gates of Profound Females, before you do. They are an item in my pocket."
"That may not be necessarily so."
Li Zha's body moved, and he shuttled towards the deepest parts of the spaces.
Young Master Muye refused to be outdone, tearing with both hands to make countless black holes appear, and also delving into the deepest parts of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace.
This Taiyuan Immortal Palace was somewhat similar to the Treasure Distribution Rock, layer upon layer, resembling a grand universe. However, even though the Treasure Distribution Rock was an ancient immortal artifact, left behind by the Heavenly Lord of Abundant Treasures, it had after all lost its immortal dao laws, and many grand immortal arrays inside could not be activated. It was far inferior to the endless series of grand immortal arrays within this Taiyuan Immortal Palace.
"What is going on? We have penetrated through at least several thousand parallel spaces and alternate worlds, and they are all incredibly empty, not even a single sesame seed mouse to be found?"
Gradually, after shuttling through countless grand arrays and breaking at least over a hundred immortal arrays without expending too much power, neither Young Master Muye nor Li Zha discovered any bit of treasure. The entire treasury was as if washed totally clean by water, so empty that a mouse couldn't survive in it.
And what was even more bizarre was that those grand arrays showed no signs of destruction at all.
It was as if when Immortal Venerable Taiyuan built this treasury, he didn't store any treasures inside in the first place.
…
In the deeper parts of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace.
Fang Han was out plundering vigorously. His accumulations were becoming thicker and more robust. Many unimaginable Immortal Realm materials, and even Top-Grade Dao Artifacts forged from indestructible matter, were refined by him and integrated into the Thirty-Three Heavens World.
The phantom projections of the thirty-three magical treasures within the Thirty-Three Heavens World were growing increasingly solid, increasingly condensed.
Originally, the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures were mere Top-Grade Dao Artifacts, and the world they constructed was but a world of Top-Grade Dao Artifacts. But now, after absorbing so many Immortal Realm materials within the Taiyuan Immortal Palace, they unexpectedly began to transform toward Peerless-Grade Dao Artifacts.
When Fang Han swept through a full ten thousand treasuries entirely empty, suddenly the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures emitted a brilliant light. Every single supreme treasure, such as the Heaven Honoring Bracelet, Heaven Suppressing Ring… each of these treasures suddenly underwent a metamorphosis, all advancing into genuine Peerless-Grade Dao Artifacts. Then that Thirty-Three Heavens World expanded abruptly. In the deep core of the Thirty-Three Heavens World, the phantom projection of an Immortal King of Creation manifested. This Immortal King of Creation was immeasurably huge, an unknown number of myriads of feet tall, reaching deep into the Immortal Realm, with one foot stepping on the lands of the Netherworld Reincarnation. Placing one hand into the distant depths of the Immortal Realm, exhaling a breath would turn into a universe, and upon opening his eyes, the hundreds of billions of stars inside that universe would be spawned.
The power of creation rolled down.
In a split second, Fang Han felt that power fully equivalent to the refined strength of two to three Heavenly Immortals was integrated into his body. And the quality of the Eight Divisions Pagoda advanced significantly towards becoming an immortal artifact.
"Good, good! Good! I now have the combined strength of fully sixteen Heavenly Immortals! But, I still haven't broken through to the Heavenly Immortal realm!" Fang Han was perplexed in his heart. He felt that the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures had all advanced to Peerless-Grade Dao Artifacts, and the power of creation had melded into his natal world. The phantoms of Heavenly Immortal laws were condensed, yet he still never broke through to the heavenly Immortal realm, and he did not know why.
But his current strength was as much as sixteen times that of a regular Heavenly Immortal.
Furthermore, his Flawless Body was also far stronger than the immortal bodies of Heavenly Immortals.
But he just couldn't break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm. This meant that he was constantly bound by the rules of the Immortal Realm. For him to break the rules of the Immortal Realm, ascend to Heavenly Immortal, and then ascend to the Immortal Realm, would be an untold number of times more difficult than that for an ordinary cultivator.
"Hm? It seems there are two powerful entities trailing right behind me." Fang Han suppressed the primordial energy from the advancement of the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures and illuminated the area using the Great Karma Technique, seeing none other than Young Master Muye, Li Zha, and the several Heavenly Immortal behemoth supreme experts.
