Fang Han entered the Central Battlefield, clashed head-on with the Central Great Emperor, forced him to ascend, and then flew out, starting a massive massacre in all directions. The very first target he set his sights on was Li Zha.
He now intended to kill Heavenly Immortals to temper the Eight Divisions Pagoda and the Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasures. And among those present, the two most powerful Heavenly Immortals were Li Zha and Young Master Muye.
Either one of these two possessed power equivalent to the sum total of ten Heavenly Immortals. Their Immortal Dao laws were vastly more abundant than those of ordinary Heavenly Immortals. Once refined, the benefits would be endless.
As soon as Li Zha was grabbed in Fang Han's hand, he struggled desperately. His entire body was bathed in a sea of golden light like a golden war god. He executed the Heavenly King's great divine abilities and circulated the laws of a Heavenly Immortal, trying his utmost to break free. Yet, it was of no use at all.
"Die!"
A cruel light shot out from Fang Han's eyes. Cold-blooded intent washed down like ice and snow, stimulating Li Zha's entire body to break out in a layer of goosebumps.
"Put down my son." Heavenly King Li was truly enraged. This old man wearing a crown underwent a bodily transformation, and a long sword appeared in his left hand. It was not an Immortal Artifact, nor was it a magical treasure, but a sword form condensed from the essence, energy, and spirit of his entire body, somewhat akin to Fang Han's "Sword of Wisdom".
"The Sword of Courage!" Once this sword of Heavenly King Li condensed into form, it slashed over through the air. Crack! Streaks of cracks densely covered the air, descending like a spider web. The sword intent of this sword was supreme courage.
"The Sword of Wisdom!" Seeing the long sword slashing over, a cold glint flashed in Fang Han's eyes. Still holding Li Zha, his entire body transformed into a ray of sword light, actually manifesting into the Sword of Wisdom, and clashed forcefully against the Sword of Courage.
"Clang!"
The Sword of Courage was instantly torn apart, while Fang Han's Sword of Wisdom also dissipated, reverting into his Flawless Body true form. The Li Zha in his hand, in that momentary collision, had been smashed into a meat patty. A mass of Heavenly Immortal laws, crystals resembling crystal marks, merged into the center of Fang Han's brows.
"Hahaha, Heavenly King Li, many thanks for your strike. Only because of it was I able to kill your son and plunder his vital energy and blood, as well as his Heavenly Immortal laws. Such powerfully nourishing Heavenly Immortal laws are fully equivalent to ten ordinary Heavenly Immortals. Hmm? Excellent, there are so many treasures within his body. Pills. Heavenly King Li, you really expended a great deal of painstaking effort to cultivate this son of yours. Unfortunately, it has all fallen into my lap. The Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasures, the Heaven-Shattering, Primordial Heaven, Profound Heaven, Boundless Heaven… all of you transform into Semi-Immortal Artifacts for me."
Fang Han unleashed repeated long howls. Waves of explosions emanated from within his body, and his aura grew increasingly powerful, clearly a change brought about after refining Li Zha.
Among the Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasures, a full five more pieces transformed into Semi-Immortal Artifacts. He once again obtained many profound functions, especially that Heavenly Calculator, whose operational speed became even faster.
"Zha'er!"
Seeing this scene, Heavenly King Li roared wildly, hysterical, "Fang Han, you dare to refine my son." He executed a Secret Technique of Divine Immortals, the Second Universe, and suppressed downward.
"Those who kill will always be killed!" Fang Han's body became even more fluid and agile. With a flicker, he became formless, leaping out of myriad realms and outside the five elements, dodging this lethal move of Heavenly King Li.
A trillionth of an instant later, Fang Han's body reappeared, showing up beside Young Master Muye: "Young Master Muye, Li Zha has been refined by me, and he is very lonely on the Yellow Springs Road. You should go accompany him as well."
Fang Han actually wanted to refine Young Master Muye once more as well! To enrich his Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasures.
"I will never shrink back. The intent to battle stems from antiquity and exists eternally." Having witnessed the battle between his father and Fang Han, Young Master Muye seemed to have comprehended something. Facing Fang Han's attack, he absolutely did not shrink back, and fully executed the "Ruler's Sacred Art" again, striking out towards the heavens. He was confronting Fang Han's majesty head-on.
"You are a tough man, a peerless talent, and you will eventually have a place in the Heaven Realm in the future. It's a pity you met me. Having met me, Fang Han, in this vast universe of heaven and earth, I am the only one. I represent Creation. Blasphemy is not tolerated!" Suddenly, a long spear appeared in Fang Han's hand. This long spear carried the aura of Ultimate Judgment.
The Spear of Judgment.
Now that Fang Han's cultivation base had greatly increased, the phantom of the Spear of Judgment condensed by executing the will of Ultimate Judgment actually had an aura identical to the real Spear of Judgment. Even its physical form was incredibly lifelike, as if the genuine Heaven Realm King Grade Immortal Artifact had returned to the mortal realm once again.
The Spear of Judgment was the penal instrument of judgment of the Heaven Realm's rulers, and numerous immortals were terrified upon hearing its name. Once it appeared, celestial blood would inevitably dye the void. Now held in Fang Han's hands, at this moment, Fang Han truly transformed into an existence akin to the Creation Immortal King.
He thrust the spear out.
Pfft!
Young Master Muye's Ruler's Sacred Art was no match for the Spear of Judgment at all and was instantly pierced through. His entire body was also pierced right through by the long spear, skewered into a human kebab.
Hmm?
Having pierced right through Young Master Muye, Fang Han's face did not show any look of joy, but rather seemed regretful.
As expected, above Young Master Muye's head, an Immortal Realm Gate appeared. A sweeping force of reception descended, causing Young Master Muye's body to eventually disappear without a trace.
"Ascending in broad daylight again!" Fang Han gave the Spear of Judgment a shake, his expression grave.
"Fang Han, only the Immortal Realm is the grand battlefield. I will wait for you in the Immortal Realm!" Young Master Muye also issued a voice.
Once ascended, trying to descend to the lower realms again would be incomparably difficult. In the instant of his ascension, Young Master Muye had completely destroyed many ultimate treasures on his body, ascending completely bare.
"Li Zha died by my hands, yet Young Master Muye ascended at the final juncture. It is evident that Li Zha was still inferior to Young Master Muye. However, even if this kind of person reaches the Immortal Realm, I will still strike him down." Fang Han withdrew his spear and stood firm.
"The Spear of Judgment, you actually dare to steal judgment!"
The Heaven Realm Emissary flew into a towering rage. He suddenly beckoned with his hand, and a token flew out. It was the Immortal Artifact, the Token of Heaven's Wrath. It flew over to strike, suppressing right over his head, killing towards Fang Han.
"Worldly Auspicious, the Myriad Ancient Buddha King." As Fang Han activated the talisman, the youthful monk in golden monk robes and bare feet appeared again, singing a high, clear song, and struck towards the Heaven Realm Emissary: "Heaven Realm Emissary, your strength is not as great as the Central Great Emperor's, nor as great as Heavenly King Li's. It's perfect timing for me to refine you, and then annihilate the One Dao Sect."
"Little vile spawn." The Heaven Realm Emissary retreated, flickering continuously, dodging Fang Han's attack: "Heavenly King Li, lay down a great formation and refine this person!"
Rumble!
Heavenly King Li possessed a lethal hatred toward Fang Han. He immediately mobilized his vital energy, summoned his experts, and was about to lay out a peerless great formation. However, right at this moment, a burst of explosions transmitted from the depths of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion.
Endless immortal energy shot out furiously. Spatial fabrics were disintegrating piece by piece, and countless Immortal Dao laws and Immortal Dao musical notes surged wildly from the deepest depths. Three portals, forming a triangular shape, broke through the void and charged straight into the sky.
Each of these three portals was larger than planets, the sun, or the moon. As they directly tore apart the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion and soared into the sky, a massive sun in the sky was actually swept into them. The oceans of the Xuanhuang Great World instantly turned dark across a vast stretch.
"The Xuanpin Gate! It has appeared!"
All the experts looked up at the sky and instantly paled, knowing that this was the most important treasure within the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. The Immortal Artifact, the Xuanpin Gate, seemed to have been triggered, fracturing the Immortal Mansion and flying out. Currently, these three Xuanpin Gates were ownerless objects; whoever could collect them, they would belong to.
These three Immortal Artifacts could absolutely not be compared to the Central Ancient Sword or the King-Slaughtering Halberd.
The Xuanpin Gate had already surpassed the category of Low Grade Immortal Artifacts. Its power was boundless, and even Divine Immortals might not necessarily be able to subdue it. Yet, everyone wanted to obtain these three portals. Once obtained and fully refined, they could immediately dominate the world.
The massive Xuanpin Gates appeared in a triangular shape, dancing upwards, transforming into gigantic doors that devoured heaven and earth, as if they wanted to break free from worldly control and ascend into the Immortal Realm.
Immortal Artifacts, just like Heavenly Immortals, possessed Immortal Realm laws and had the ability to tear open the gates of the Immortal Realm. They could similarly ascend in broad daylight.
Now, as soon as the Xuanpin Gate appeared, it was about to ascend in broad daylight and enter the Immortal Realm.
Right at this moment, a tall female phantom appeared above the Xuanpin Gate. With a wave of her hand, she sang out a chain of syllables. The power of the Great Wish Technique poured down, stubbornly halting the ascension of the Xuanpin Gate.
Linglong Immortal Venerable had finally appeared.
At this very moment, beside Linglong Immortal Venerable, the Human Emperor Brush, Feng Baiyu, the Chiyuan Demon Venerable, and the Old Man Heart Demon were hovering all around. Feng Baiyu's strength had advanced significantly, actually reaching the peak of True Immortal. He might step into the Heavenly Immortal level at any moment. He rotated the Heaven Emperor Mirror, transforming into the phantom of the Heaven Emperor, pacing the Big Dipper steps. His cultivation was actually no inferior to a Heavenly Immortal.
Who knew what treasures he had obtained while plundering within the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion that caused his cultivation to advance so greatly.
Meanwhile, the Human Emperor Brush, the Old Man Heart Demon, and the Chiyuan Demon Venerable had also each obtained immense benefits. Their cultivation bases were who knew how many times more ferocious than before. Every time they made a move, they shocked heaven and earth, awing the numerous immortals.
"Fang Han, come up quickly, let's subdue the Xuanpin Gate together." Linglong Immortal Venerable spotted Fang Han in the air at a glance and sent out a powerful thought.
"Alright."
Fang Han shot into the sky. The Ancestral Dragon Ascends to Heaven. His large hand grabbed fiercely as a ten-clawed Ancestral Dragon's hand, fully spanning hundreds of millions of li, forcefully contested the Xuanpin Gate. He intended to put this Immortal Artifact into his pocket.
If the Xuanpin Gate could be refined, then the Eight Divisions Pagoda and the Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasures could become true Immortal Artifacts and nurture all living beings.
Who could have known that the moment Fang Han's hand touched the Xuanpin Gate, a stream of air surged out from the gate, actually causing his own Ancestral Dragon claw to feel bursts of piercing pain. Even his Flawless Body found it somewhat unbearable.
"This is Heaven-Slaying Energy!" Linglong Immortal Venerable said, "Be careful!"
"No matter!" Fang Han jolted his arm, and endless Buddha light shot out furiously from it. Within that Buddha light, the shadow of the youthful monk in golden robes and bare feet appeared once again.
"All Dao Masters of the Heavenly King Great World, listen to my command. Lay down the Heavenly King Myriad Immortals Great Formation, besiege the Xuanpin Gate, and slaughter the vile spawn!" Seeing the Xuanpin Gate emerge, Heavenly King Li also knew this matter allowed no carelessness. He ascended to the sky, striking fiercely with one palm. His body vibrated, and countless Heavenly King phantoms appeared all over him.
The myriad immortals of the Heavenly King Great World suddenly flew up all at once, transforming into a great formation. Under the command of Heavenly King Li, they spun tightly in rings, instantly radiating tens of thousands of streams of killing intent, enveloping towards the Xuanpin Gate.
