The situation suddenly became complicated. Originally, Fang Han, Linglong Immortal Venerable, and the others held the upper hand and had hope of seizing this Immortal Artifact, the Xuanpin Gate. But now, experts from the Buddha Realm and the Dragon Realm had all come out to compete. That mysterious Buddha and the ancient Dragon Emperor were both experts at the level of Divine Immortals. It was unknown what seal they had executed to seal the aura within their bodies, preventing the Immortal Realm's receiving laws from knowing and forcing their ascension.
Moreover, because the experts of the Buddha Realm and the Dragon Realm had established their own realms, the receiving force they experienced from the Heaven Realm was weaker.
If they were within the Buddha Realm and the Dragon Realm, even some experts at the Profound Immortal level could keep themselves hidden.
Because the creators of the Buddha Realm and the Primordial Ancestral Dragon of the Dragon Realm, in the process of creating their realms, had both generated laws that resisted the Immortal Realm. It was rumored that within these two realms, there were experts at the Heavenly Lord level who could completely resist the laws of the Immortal Realm and rule over the Heaven Realm like monarchs, being at the monarch level even in the Heaven Realm.
As for the Void God Realm, there was even less need to say.
The Void God Realm was an existence meant to oppose the Immortal Realm. Everything reversed the rules of the Immortal Realm, and the experts of the God Realm were even less easily restricted by the rules of the Immortal Realm.
Of course, if an expert from the God Realm left the God Realm and displayed excessive power, they would still be drawn by the receiving force of the Immortal Realm and ascend. After entering the Immortal Realm, it would be a situation with nine chances of death and one chance of survival, making them common enemies of all immortals.
"Detestable! The Dragon Race and the people of the Buddha Realm have all come out to snatch the Xuanpin Gate. Are you not afraid of the Immortal Realm's punishment?" The Heaven Realm Emissary let out an angry roar. Fury surged continuously; he simply wanted to skin these people alive and swallow them whole.
"I am the Accumulated Incense Vast Sky Buddha of the Buddha Realm. Bearing the command of the Ancestor of All Buddhas, I have come to take the Xuanpin Gate." That golden Buddha issued a rolling voice, "This Immortal Artifact has an affinity with my Buddhist Sect and is an object belonging to our Buddhist Sect. The Heaven Realm cannot lay a finger on it either, unless the Heaven Realm wishes to go to full-scale war with my Buddha Realm!"
While speaking, the golden Buddha "Accumulated Incense Vast Sky Buddha" grabbed with his large hand, executing the Ancestral Buddha Palm. With a single palm strike, countless Sanskrit chants resounded continuously in a direct bombardment. Those countless phantoms of Buddhas charged out from the Buddha Realm and actually generated a power of blessing, somewhat similar to the blessing of the Worldly Auspicious King Buddha's talisman, though of course not as ferocious as this talisman.
However, this "Accumulated Incense Vast Sky Buddha" was an expert at the Divine Immortal level. Behind him, he carried the glory of the Buddhist Sect. Within his body's Elysium Pure Land Buddha Kingdom, he raised countless Bodhisattvas, as well as Buddhas at the Heavenly Immortal realm. Such power was actually on par with Heavenly King Li's.
"Bullshit! This Xuanpin Gate is the ultimate treasure of my Dragon Race. Back then, the Taiyuan Immortal Venerable had an agreement with our Dragon Race that when the Xuanpin Gate appeared in the world, it would be returned to my Dragon Race. I have come on orders to take this supreme treasure today. Whoever tries to snatch it will be the life-and-death enemy of my Dragon Race. My Dragon Race does not mind going to war with the Heaven Realm!"
The dragon claw of that Dragon Emperor had a full six toes. Every single toe displayed the aura of Divine Immortal laws. The Second Universe brewed and took shape within the claw, instantly wrapping up the entire Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. Under the dragon claw, the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion shook violently, seeming as if it was about to be jolted off its trajectory.
"Hmph!"
Facing the majesty of this Dragon Emperor, Fang Han did not care in the slightest. He possessed an extremely great suppressing effect on the Dragon Race. Under the Eight Divisions Pagoda, all the Dragon Race could be suppressed. The majesty of the Primordial Ancestral Dragon could subdue all members of the Dragon Race.
He grabbed into the void, manifesting an even larger ten-clawed Ancestral Dragon hand, which directly destroyed that Dragon Emperor's claw. Then, he punched completely through the Dragon Realm, revealing a massive, tall blue mountain range.
That blue mountain range was like sapphire, a completely deep blue world.
Atop that sapphire mountain range, spanning an unknown number of hundreds of millions of li, lay a blue immemorial heavenly dragon millions of li long. When this heavenly dragon opened its eyes, countless alternate dimension spaces all turned into a deep blue world, and the void itself crystallized like sapphire. Wherever this Dragon Emperor's gaze fell, it would turn into a blue crystal, a kingdom of profound blue.
"Son of Profound Blue!"
Suddenly, Yan saw this sapphire mountain range and that deep blue immemorial heavenly dragon, and immediately roared wildly: "The Son of Profound Blue actually made a move! He is a combat genius among the Dragon Race. When he was merely at the Void Immortal realm, he fought against Heavenly Immortals. In the past, he fought the Yellow Springs Great Emperor. But at that time, Daoist Reincarnation had not yet infused all of his merit into the Yellow Springs Great Emperor, so the two of them were evenly matched."
"Is that so? Actually evenly matched with the Yellow Springs Great Emperor."
Fang Han's mind stirred. The Yellow Springs Great Emperor had reached the Heavenly Lord realm at the final juncture of his ascension, having been infused with all the power of Daoist Reincarnation. But before receiving that legacy, he was just like Fang Han, a peerless genius and an unparalleled overlord. Yet he could not become a king of heaven.
This Dragon Emperor, the "Son of Profound Blue," known as the combat genius of the Dragon Race and capable of fighting evenly against the former Yellow Springs Great Emperor, was indeed not to be underestimated.
"Eight Divisions Pagoda!"
Deep within the Dragon Realm, within that kingdom of profound blue, the Dragon Emperor Son of Profound Blue abruptly leaped out. He immediately crossed the Dragon Realm, descended into the Xuanhuang Great World, and transformed into a human form. He was a young man. This young man wore a deep blue long robe and had a resolute face. His entire person looked like a divine statue forged of steel, appearing at first glance as a terrifying combat genius that struck fear into people's hearts.
As soon as this young man in deep blue clothes, the combat genius of the Dragon Race called "Son of Profound Blue," flew out, his eyes locked onto Fang Han, actually temporarily ignoring the Eight Divisions Pagoda: "To think that someone outside the Dragon Realm actually forged this piece of the Eight Divisions Pagoda. No wonder I heard rumors that a strange event occurred not long ago before the Dragon Graveyard; it was you cultivating inside. However, this supreme treasure, the Eight Divisions Pagoda, is an object of our Dragon Race, and it absolutely must be taken back. Its importance even surpasses the Xuanpin Gate. How about this! Hand over the Eight Divisions Pagoda, and I will turn around and leave, and will not compete for the Xuanpin Gate. I will leave you a sliver of life. Otherwise, you will inevitably die in this battle."
"Hahaha! What shameless boasting!" Looking at the Dragon Emperor "Son of Profound Blue", Fang Han laughed loudly: "Merely a stupid dragon. I just fought against the Lord of the Central Great World, the Central Great Emperor, and forced him to ascend. No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than the Central Great Emperor? My Eight Divisions Pagoda can completely suppress you and send you to your death."
"The Son of Profound Blue will not get angry because of any words." The young Dragon Emperor Son of Profound Blue said. His hair was also deep blue, and his eyes were even deeper blue like the sky, like the ocean. "The Central Great Emperor is a formidable figure, but in front of the Son of Profound Blue, he still would not hold any advantage. The Eight Divisions Pagoda restrains all of the Dragon Race, but it can only further elevate the potential of the Son of Profound Blue. Stimulating my divine abilities, I will be advancing to the Profound Immortal realm and comprehend the wondrous methods of Heavenly Profundity and the laws of the Profound Void. It seems I can only advance after killing you."
"Kill me? What a boast. Advance to Profound Immortal? Is the Profound Immortal realm something you can measure? The profound and wondrous realm is impossible for you to ever reach."
What Fang Han feared the least was the Dragon Race. With this Son of Profound Blue, the combat genius of the Dragon Race, appearing and acting so arrogantly, knowing full well that he had the Eight Divisions Pagoda and still daring to target him, Fang Han simply decided not to even contend for the Xuanpin Gate for now, but to first kill this Divine Immortal-level Dragon Emperor.
Having plundered many treasures and Immortal Realm materials from the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, and then refining the "King-Slaughtering Halberd" and the "Central Ancient Sword," and battling the Central Great Emperor, Fang Han's cultivation had climbed steadily. His strength had already reached the sum of the combined power of eighteen Heavenly Immortals. And there was even more power settled within his body, yet to be refined.
His current strength had indeed reached the level where he could slaughter Divine Immortals. Especially when dealing with the Dragon Race. Killing them would be simply too effortless.
"The Dao of Dragon Slaughtering, the Great Might of the Primordial." Without a second thought, Fang Han attacked the Dragon Emperor Son of Profound Blue. The moment he acted, it was a lethal strike. Executing the Heaven Collapsing Ram, he closed in on the Son of Profound Blue, striking out with an elbow. At the same time, his footwork contained a lethal move; the Heaven Shaking Stomp was executed. He struck so hard that the kingdoms surrounding the Profound Blue Dragon Emperor began to crack apart, and the blue sapphire spaces began to shatter.
"The Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Fist, what a pity. This set of divine fists should belong to me. I am the one who can ultimately comprehend Creation. After I kill you, I will absorb all of your set of divine fists, comprehend and cultivate it, enriching my experience as a combat genius." Facing Fang Han's attack on his kingdom, the Son of Profound Blue was not panicked at all. As he spoke unhurriedly, deep blue light surged brightly, and his sapphire-like kingdom began to condense and repair itself. The speed of repair was actually much faster than the speed of Fang Han's destruction.
"I possess incomparably tyrannical recovery abilities. I am the Son of Profound Blue, an Exalted King among Dragon Emperors." After the Son of Profound Blue had completely repaired all the destroyed kingdoms, his body suddenly moved. With a bang, he actually executed the Heaven Collapsing Ram! The Heaven Shaking Stomp! Ramming over, deep blue dragon scales appeared on the surface of his body.
"Heaven Collapsing Ram! Heaven Shaking Stomp!" Fang Han was startled. He did not expect that this Son of Profound Blue would actually execute the exact same Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Fist, and its power was no weaker than his own. Could he have learned the technique just by fighting him once? This was impossible; no one could do it.
"I am a combat genius, a Dragon Emperor among the Dragon Race specializing in warfare, carrying out war with the Heaven Realm all year round. Whatever move it is, as long as I see it once, I can learn it. Within the kingdom of profound blue, I can copy any of your abilities, any of your techniques. All immortal arts, even the abilities of the Eight Divisions Pagoda."
"Incorrect, there is no divine rhythm within his Thirty-Three Heavens Creation Divine Fist." Fang Han remained calm, and a cold sneer appeared on his face. "It's all purely superficial. It isn't even the power of Creation, merely imitating the power of Creation with dragon power. But how could you simulate the profound wonders of Creation with your mere dragon power? What a joke!"
His body suddenly transformed, actually turning into a point of Origin.
Immediately after, the point of Origin erupted, smashing completely through the kingdom of profound blue with a bang.
