Looking at Fang Han, the Central Great Emperor still carried an aura of supreme dictation as he spoke.
Ordering people about by pointing and bossing them around.
Indeed, as the ruler of the Central Great World, the number one world among the Three Thousand Great Worlds, he could be called the number one person in the secular world, the sovereign among cultivators. Although there were still some old antiques hidden away in the Central World who did not show themselves, those old antiques did not dare to pop their heads out casually.
Furthermore, his cultivation had long reached the Divine Immortal realm, and he was not just an ordinary Divine Immortal; he possessed infinite might and boundless magic power. Having condensed countless divine ability dharma methods, his cultivation followed the dictates of his heart. Even upon reaching the Immortal Realm, he would be a formidable figure, absolutely unlike regular ascending Heavenly Immortals who were merely small fry.
The Central Ancient Sword belonging to Young Master Muye was taken by Fang Han. The immense importance of this immortal artifact meant that its loss was heavy, even for the entire Central Great World.
For regular Great Worlds, having one immortal artifact acting as suppression was already enough to rank among the best. Although the Central Great World was the top-ranked Great World, immortal artifacts were still not something that could easily just be consumed away.
"Central Great Emperor, did you not see that I have already refined the Central Ancient Sword? It has been integrated into my Eight Divisions Pagoda. Even if I wanted to hand it over, it is impossible." Fang Han looked at the Central Great Emperor and said unhurriedly: "You are at the Divine Immortal realm, you would not be unable to see this, would you?"
"I have indeed long seen that. In pre-antiquity, the supreme treasure, the Eight Divisions Pagoda, was also once successfully forged by Dragon Emperors, and I even went up against it once. I deeply know the terror of this magical treasure, especially the All Things Transform into Dragons Incantation, an even more overbearing cultivation method created by the Primordial Ancestral Dragon based on the Buddhist sect's conversion principles combined with Dragon clan divine abilities. Even immortal artifacts can be transformed into immortal dragons." The Central Great Emperor also said unhurriedly: "Therefore, by telling you to hand over the Central Ancient Sword, it essentially means handing over the Eight Divisions Pagoda. Since you swallowed this immortal artifact, naturally you can only use your most valuable treasure to repay it."
These words from the Central Great Emperor were very calm. Under the circumstance where many, many people were shocked by Fang Han's divine abilities, for him to still utter such words showed his powerful self-confidence, as well as the peerless elegance and invincible charm of the top Imperial Monarch of the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds.
"So you just want my Eight Divisions Pagoda…" Hearing this, Fang Han was not angry, "Very good, very good. Many people want this treasure of mine, but every single person who wanted this treasure has already been devoured by the All Things Transform into Dragons Incantation. Although you are the ruler of the Central Great World, the Eight Divisions Pagoda would not mind devouring a Divine Immortal to strengthen itself."
"Hahaha, hahaha!" The Central Great Emperor started laughing, fully relaxed, "Young man, truly a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Your current strength can indeed contend against Divine Immortals, but you must know that Divine Immortals are also divided into various ranks and tiers. Sometimes, ten ordinary Divine Immortals cannot defeat one Divine Immortal with profound magic power."
"So to say, Central Great Emperor, you are that Divine Immortal with strong magic power whom ten ordinary Divine Immortals cannot defeat?" Fang Han smiled nonchalantly, "However, I seem to know that once cultivation reaches the Divine Immortal realm, every single movement will probably trigger the rules of the Immortal Realm. Tell me, can you exert all your power?"
"Kid, everyone here among us is capable of exerting all their power." The Divine Immortal Emissary spoke up, his voice sharp: "I was assigned by the heavens, carrying out the will of the Heavenly Lord of Disaster and the Eternal Heavenly Lord. The Heavenly Realm has long bestowed talismans that can cover auras, perform heaven-deceiving deeds, and evade the rules of the Immortal Realm."
"Fang Han, you have devoured Li Zha's King Slaughtering Great Halberd as well. I don't want your Eight Divisions Pagoda either; I will simply refine your physical body, your Flawless Body, into an immortal artifact for my Li Zha to use." Heavenly King Li laughed loudly: "I wonder what the Heavenly Realm Emissary wants from this Fang Han? This person is full of treasures."
"I want his divine abilities, his memories, and his cultivation method for the Divine Fists of Creation." The Heavenly Realm Emissary said: "This is the proof that he blasphemed creation. I must bring it to the Heavenly Realm and present it to the Heavenly Lords. If you take his body, you absolutely cannot blaspheme creation, nor can his memories be blasphemed; this is a taboo of the Heavenly Realm. Whoever blasphemes creation cannot live in peace. In my capacity as a good friend to both of you, Heavenly King Li and Central Great Emperor, I must remind you of this one thing: anyone who blasphemes creation will meet a bad end. Dying a violent death and sinking into eternal perdition. Not even Heavenly Lords are exceptions."
"We are clear on this."
Both the Central Great Emperor and Heavenly King Li nodded. What kind of figures were they? Having close ties with the Heavenly Realm, they deeply knew the severity of some taboos and dared not cross the line by half a step.
"You really do treat me as a soft persimmon that you can squeeze whenever you want? Very well, for me, Fang Han, to make my name famous across the universe and shake the cosmos, I still must have an earth-shattering battle. What, you want the things on my body, do you all intend to make a move against me together?" Fang Han observed the surrounding situation and saw tens of thousands of cultivators. All were magnates of the Central Great World and Heavenly King Great World—Virtual Immortals, True Immortals, and behemoth Heavenly Immortal existences. They surrounded the void from top to bottom so securely that not even water could seep through; simply not even a fly could fly out. The aura of every single expert could destroy a starry sky. This many people could simply bombard a large hole into the Immortal Realm.
"No need, my Central Great World and Heavenly King Great World have never won by relying on vast numbers. Given our status, how could we gang up on you? But young man, Fang Han! You are a peerless genius that has not appeared in hundreds of millions of years. Ordinary experts absolutely cannot kill you. We must personally act, which also grants you sufficient glory."
The Central Great Emperor said proudly: "The Muye family, carrying the bloodline of the Heavenly Lord of Warfare, does not resort to ganging up. Everyone from the Central Great World, hear my order: Set up the Central Battlefield!"
Rumble!
As the Central Great Emperor spoke, all the people from the Central Great World sat cross-legged in the air, muttering and reciting scriptures. The auras of all the people converged into a massive void resembling a primeval battlefield, which appeared in the center. It was a square arena, condensed in the center, with brocade flags fluttering upon it. Flowing unceasingly over it were auras of glory, brilliance, holiness, the center…
This was a battlefield specifically created for dueling. It was not a magical treasure, but a ceremony solidified from an immortal art.
"The Central Battlefield!"
"This Central Great Emperor has truly given Fang Han sufficient glory. Does the Central Great Emperor consider this person an existence capable of standing head and shoulders with him?"
"The Central Great World only sets up the Central Battlefield when encountering the most respected enemy coming to challenge them, and then the Central Great Emperor will have a decisive battle with the newcomer on the Central Battlefield."
"Three hundred thousand years ago, the demon sect of the Ancestral Demon Land went to the Central Great World. The Central Great Emperor gave him sufficient respect, set up the Central Battlefield, and dueled him inside, attracting worldwide attention. In the end, the demon sect stained the battlefield with blood, killed by the Central Great Emperor during combat. However, the Central Great Emperor did not refine his body but gave it sufficient glory and sent it back to the Ancestral Demon Land for burial."
"The Central Battlefield, every time it manifests, an earth-shattering, world-shaking battle that rocks the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds occurs."
"When the Central Battlefield appears, definitely there are sages whose blood stains the yellow sand. Ten parts dead, leading to no chance of life."
Many experts from the Heavenly King Great World hotly discussed it. Even Heavenly King Li's expression changed. The Central Battlefield was simply far too famous.
"Fang Han is indeed a genius not seen for hundreds of millions of years. Our Central Great World must grant him respect." The Central Great Emperor said slowly: "Heavenly Realm Emissary, will you battle Fang Han, or will Heavenly King Li battle Fang Han? Or shall I take up the burden without hesitation?"
"Central Great Emperor, it is still better for you to make the move. Since you have set up the Central Battlefield, you are presumably set on winning this battle with Fang Han. It would not be right for me to steal your thunder." Heavenly King Li smiled mildly.
"Haha, Heavenly King Li, you truly understand me. No wonder the Heavenly King Great World you lead has reached second place. Good, I shall engage in an unprecedented ancient battle with Fang Han!"
The Central Great Emperor took one step entirely into the Central Battlefield and stood firmly inside.
"Come on, Fang Han. In this universe of heaven and earth, the people who can stand in the Central Battlefield and duel against my Central Great Emperor can be counted on one's fingers. You are one."
"Good, I will let your blood stain the battlefield." With a movement of his body, Fang Han also entered the Central Battlefield. He immediately felt everything on all four sides being sealed away. No sound from outside could transmit in, and no magic power whatsoever could transmit in either.
"You need not worry. The Central Battlefield is an iron rule of our Central Great World, the ancient battle intent left behind by the Heavenly Lord of Warfare. It is absolutely one on one. Even if our Central Great World perished, this rule still could not be broken. Because this reflects the noble bloodline of our Muye family derived from the Heavenly Lord of Warfare. If we lost this bloodline, we would be no different from any ordinary living beings. Therefore, this is the battlefield for the two of us; no one can intervene. You can rest completely assured and boldly use all your power to battle me. If you win this battle, you are the first person of the Three Thousand Great Thousand Worlds without any dispute, and your prestigious name will also be passed down for hundreds of millions of years."
Looking at Fang Han's appearance, the Central Great Emperor smiled and said.
"The noble bloodline of the Heavenly Lord of Warfare and the battle intent within the blood are indeed admirable. The bloodline of a generation's Heavenly Lord truly has its unique qualities." Fang Han nodded, having already seen the profundities of the Central Battlefield. Using the Great Karma Technique to secretly calculate, he only deduced that the Central Great Emperor was a towering and majestic mountain lying right before him. If he crossed over it, he would be at the peak, rendering all other mountains as small. If he could not cross over it, then he would stop right here, his body dying and his dao perishing.
For the ruler of the first Great World to actually fight for his life against him showed just how formidable the opposition's confidence was!
Against a figure like the Central Great Emperor, he had not the slightest chance of winning. Just as the opposition had said, Heavenly Immortals were divided into various ranks and tiers, and Divine Immortals were similarly divided into various ranks and tiers. Unquestionably, a Divine Immortal like the Central Great Emperor was at the supreme peak, an individual capable of comprehending the Dao of Profound Immortals at any moment.
Collapse!
Standing up straight, Fang Han faced the Central Great Emperor. His aura immediately choked, feeling the opposition's oppression. A ring of colored glaze brilliance on his body was actually shaken to pieces.
The battle had not yet begun, but the momentum was already broken.
