Upon the emergence of the Xuanpin Gate, everyone clamored to seize it. The moment Heavenly King Li made a move, he alongside everyone from the Heavenly King Great World laid down an absolute killing great formation, blanketing the sky above. Its imposing aura was enough to destroy the entire Return to Ruin. The Taiyuan Immortal Mansion had already collapsed into an unrecognizable state, with palaces shattered everywhere, floating in the void like wandering meteorites.
At this time, a full several hundred Void Immortals, over a hundred True Immortals, and dozens of Heavenly Immortal supreme titan experts had arrived from the Heavenly King Great World.
With so many experts laying down a great formation right now, it could almost refine half a great world. Streams of killing energy surged up against one another like immemorial slaughtering dragons, and fully over a hundred Supreme Grade Dao Artifacts danced up into the sky. Operating together, they formed the formation eyes of the killing array. Heavenly King Li even produced an Immortal Artifact.
This Immortal Artifact was on the same level as the King-Slaughtering Halberd, also a Low Grade Immortal Artifact. It took a squarish shape, similar to the appearance of a great seal, somewhat akin to the Great Seal of Sentient Beings, but it was brimming with an overbearing aura. It entirely lacked the compassionate emotion that contained the single thought of myriad celestial sentient beings present in the Great Seal of Sentient Beings.
This was the imperial jade seal exclusively used by the lord of the Heavenly King Great World, called the "Heavenly King Jade Seal." When this seal was stamped on paper, in the Heavenly King Great World, it represented supreme absolute authority, deciding life and death with a single point.
As Heavenly King Li wielded the Heavenly King Jade Seal in his hand, with a suppression, the textures of the various formation eyes emanated outward. The people of the entire Heavenly King Great World linked together as one, forming a magnificent scene resembling a painting. Within the painting, there were beautiful mountain mists, illustrations of the Immortal Realm, the divisions of myriad realms, as well as towering immemorial divine cities. Various immortals, and even the forms of some ancient Golden Immortals and Ancestral Immortals, also appeared in the painting.
The divine painting manifested, with the great formation brimming with killing intent.
"Fang Han, be careful, this is the Myriad Immortals Great Formation of the Heavenly King Great World, the Miaogu Divine Method." Seeing the people of the Heavenly King Great World form a great formation to bombard and kill Fang Han together, Linglong Immortal Venerable could not help but speak up to remind him.
"No matter!" Facing the bombardment of such a massive formation, no matter how strong Fang Han's magic power was, it was impossible to resist it. Unless he truly cultivated to become a Heavenly Immortal, only then could he engage in a contest of supremacy.
However, although he was shocked, he was entirely capable of dodging. With a movement of his body, the true form of the Worldly Auspicious King Buddha, the youthful monk in golden monk robes and bare feet behind him, manifested. With a massive explosion of golden light, his entire person disappeared without a trace, causing Heavenly King Li's sudden bombardment to land completely on nothing.
"Heavenly King World, everyone lend your support, enter my universe, Second Primal Spirit!"
Heavenly King Li opened his mouth and inhaled. The several hundred Void Immortals, over a hundred True Immortals, and more than ten Heavenly Immortals who formed the great formation all entered the universe within his body. Instantly, his form expanded inch by inch, his magic power reaching an extreme limit. With a push of his large hand, carrying an aura similar to the death-grey large hand of the Source of All Evil, he slapped towards Linglong Immortal Venerable.
"Courting death! You dare try to stop me from fighting for the Xuanpin Gate?" Linglong Immortal Venerable's eyes flickered. Striking out a palm of the Great Wish Technique, forty-eight Grand Wishes of Hongmeng converged into a rolling torrent of wishes, forcefully blocking Heavenly King Li's palm strike. As the palm forces of the two collided, the shockwaves clashed all the way into the stellar rivers outside the heavens hundreds of millions of trillions of li away. Countless planets were smashed apart, destroying who knew how many planets in the boundless universe. Some enormous passages of the Return to Ruin reappeared. Upon the sea surface of the Xuanhuang Great World, thousands of black holes appeared, and those black holes penetrated through numerous alternate dimension spaces.
In those alternate dimension spaces, it seemed some powerful existences were alarmed. They sent their divine wills shooting out from the alternate spaces, checking what had happened here and why the worlds they inhabited would be penetrated by such tyrannical power.
But just as those powerful existences extended the heads of their divine wills, they saw the scene centered around the Xuanpin Gate involving furious battles amidst countless Void Immortals, True Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and even Divine Immortals, scaring them into retracting right away.
Even Fang Han perceived that this clash had penetrated right through to the Buddha Realm and the Dragon Realm in a few alternate dimension spaces. A few Buddhas from the Buddha Realm and Dragon Emperors also passed their divine wills over, yet they did not dare come out to snatch the Xuanpin Gate, knowing that an attempt to snatch it would be impossible.
"Linglong Immortal Venerable was actually able to clash evenly against Heavenly King Li, who gathered several hundred Void Immortals, over a hundred True Immortals, and more than ten Heavenly Immortals, without falling into disadvantage. This is simply…" Fang Han was also shocked upon seeing this. Heavenly King Li's palm strike was something he absolutely could not have withstood head-on, yet Linglong Immortal Venerable forcefully blocked it. Just how ferocious was this woman?
However, it was because his own realm was not high enough. If he could reach the Divine Immortal realm, he would be who knew how tyrannical and overbearing.
"Good, truly worthy of being the number one expert of the Xuanhuang Great World." His palm strike being halted, Heavenly King Li looked at Linglong Immortal Venerable with secret shock. He had no idea what kind of Dao technique this woman cultivated. As soon as she slashed out a palm, the immortal energy within her body seemed to never deplete, as if connected to a vast treasury. The shadow of Hongmeng could be seen behind her.
"Myriad immortals of the Central Great World, the Central Great Emperor and Young Master Muye have already ascended. As a host of dragons without a leader, I will come lead you all. Let us slaughter the vile spawn Fang Han together! The Central Great Emperor calculated this moment well before ascending. He received the tally order of the Immortal Realm and issued a decree for you to temporarily follow my orders in this battle. Enter my universe quickly, lay down a great formation, and add your strength to mine!"
Seeing this situation, the Heaven Realm Emissary let loose continuous long howls. His angry roars vibrated out, and a stream of air blasted out. Above that stream of air, a talisman was actually burning fiercely. In the flames, the shadow of the Central Great Emperor appeared, issuing a voice: "Everyone, hear the command. Should anything happen to me, everyone quickly follow the orders of the Heaven Realm Emissary in this battle! This is the will of the Immortal Realm! The position of Great Emperor will naturally be chosen by the elders of the clan!"
"It truly is the Central Great Emperor's tally decree. The Great Emperor is indeed unfathomable. He actually calculated certain things in advance. To communicate with the will of the Immortal Realm, from the looks of it, his ascension in broad daylight was also within his calculations."
"Everyone from the Central Great World, quickly heed the orders of the Heaven Realm Emissary. Enter the universe within his body. In this massive tribulation, we adhere to the will of the Immortal Realm, and we will surely reap heaven-shaking benefits."
"Alright! Let us form the Central Battlefield once again!"
Swish swish swish, swish swish swish…
This time, a full over seven hundred Void Immortals, over three hundred True Immortals, and twenty-four Heavenly Immortals arrived from the Central Great World, displaying the robust strength of the Number One Great World.
Now, all of these people were sucked in by that talisman left behind by the Central Great Emperor, entering the universe within the Heaven Realm Emissary's body to lay down a great formation.
Suddenly, the magic power of the Heaven Realm Emissary swelled up just like Heavenly King Li's.
The Token of Heaven's Wrath Immortal Artifact in his hand radiantly projected great light. Growing as large as a planet, it forcefully rammed into the Xuanpin Gate.
"Xuanpin Gate, what I uphold is the will of the Immortal Realm. To break through the void and ascend to reach the Immortal Realm is to remain nothing but a puppet, only to be collected by even more powerful existences. Your only output now is to follow me and establish merits in this massive tribulation. I will report your achievements, which will allow Disaster Heavenly Lord and Eternal Heavenly Lord to grand you a reward, and you can boost your cultivation base. Your quality can be elevated."
While suppressing it, the Heaven Realm Emissary also issued a majestic voice.
However, the Xuanpin Gate did not answer him at all. Instead, it shook violently, shining with a brilliance radiating ten thousand zhang, rotating endlessly. It simply wanted to break space to ascend, as if it had received a summoning from the Taiyuan Immortal Venerable in the unseen world.
At this moment, Fang Han's disappeared form also reappeared above the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion.
His form was no longer that of a half-human, half-dragon, but a form akin to an ancient Immortal King of the Immortal Realm. It seemed like the Creation Immortal King, and also seemed like the Origin Immortal King. In the center of his forehead, a primordial Ancestral Dragon was lodged deep within the sea of his primal spirit's mind. Behind his head, loops of Buddha light expanded outward. Within the Buddha light, the youthful monk in golden robes and bare feet reappeared, with hollow eyes, trudging arduously amidst the endless sea of suffering of the world, intending to deliver those of the past, present, and future.
After Fang Han transformed into this form, he held absolutely no weapons or divine abilities in his hands. It was merely a bare large hand clawing explosively downwards, covering a space of a billion li, even enveloping Heavenly King Li and the Heaven Realm Emissary within. Naturally, his primary target was still the Xuanpin Gate.
With the Creation Divine Fist in his left hand and the Origin Divine Fist in his right, Mi Bao continuously urged the Treasure-Dividing Rock within the Thirty-Three Heavens World, absorbing the power of Origin and pouring it into Fang Han's body, making his Origin Divine Fist even more powerful.
Along this entire path of plundering by Fang Han, a full half of the treasures among his Thirty-Three Heavens Ultimate Treasures had transformed into Semi-Immortal Artifacts. As each ultimate treasure transformed into a Semi-Immortal Artifact, it was accompanied by infinite potential being unleashed. Cultivating within them, Mi Bao benefited greatly.
Especially the "Heavenly Calculator", calculating all things, with the Three Thousand Great Daos all within its calculations. Sitting in meditation before this treasure, Mi Bao refined all the Dao techniques in her body to the state of a single Point of Origin.
All her Dao techniques and martial arts converged into a single Point of Origin.
When this Point of Origin finally solidified, Mi Bao would achieve the status of Heavenly Immortal.
"Heavenly King Li, let's join forces and kill the vile spawn Fang Han!" The Heaven Realm Emissary flew into a rage, and the void tore apart, with fresh blood dripping out from within. Pacing the Big Dipper steps, he sang a resounding battle song: "Heavenly wrath and bloody rain, earthly wrath summons souls, human wrath sparks killing intent, immortal wrath breaks the void! Take my strike, the Void-Shattering Divine Fist!"
Splash!
The fresh blood that dripped forth from countless voids being broken apart all turned into utterly bloody giant fist marks. Tens of millions of fist marks bombarded towards Fang Han's palm, immediately blasting Fang Han's palm open.
Heavenly King Li also merged himself with his treasure. With a wave of his hand, a swarm of stars fell. A Bagua diagram appeared in his palm, harboring sixty-four hexagrams, all composed entirely of immortal arts, and these immortal arts transformed into a lethal technique.
"Myriad Hexagram Yao Transformation!"
The lethal move was out, tearing Fang Han's palm apart once more, and then the entire Bagua diagram enveloped upon the Xuanpin Gate. He wished to rely on this lethal maneuver to place the entire Xuanpin Gate into his pocket.
Heavenly King Li, the Heaven Realm Emissary, Linglong Immortal Venerable, Fang Han, and the others were locked in an inextricable struggle for the Xuanpin Gate.
Just at this very moment, a space suddenly cracked open. Countless tides of golden light gushed forth. Within the golden light, the sounds of chanting Bodhisattvas rang out. Surrounded by endless Bodhisattvas, an Elysium Pure Land manifested. In the center of the Pure Land appeared a Golden Buddha. Reaching out with a large hand, this Buddha grabbed toward the Xuanpin Gate.
Rumble!
The Dragon Realm blasted open a hole, and a Dragon Emperor thrust its dragon claw out as well. It was a Dragon Emperor with Divine Immortal cultivation!
The experts of the Buddhist Sect and the Dragon Race could finally not hold back any longer, stepping in to start snatching.
