Once the "Heaven-Stealing Ladder" was successfully refined into an immortal artifact, Fang Han's strength increased once again. Not to mention that his own cultivation had reached the peak of the Divine Immortal realm, some of the immortal Dao laws condensing and taking shape within his body were hundreds of times more vigorous than ordinary Divine Immortal laws.
That was to say, he could now alone destroy the combined attacks of over a hundred Divine Immortals. His strength was comparable to a Profound Immortal.
More importantly, he was already able to extract the Primitive Qi from certain mysterious spaces within the Heavenly Realm through the Heaven-Stealing Ladder. A trickling stream flowed down from the Heaven-Stealing Ladder, and the Primitive Qi penetrated deep into his natal world, ceaselessly expanding the vitality, giving the world a taste of the primitive.
Ordinary Divine Immortals, short of entering the Heavenly Realm, simply could not extract the Primitive Qi.
Even Profound Immortals could not extract it while in the secular world.
But now Fang Han could. This was all the result of successfully refining the "Heaven-Stealing Ladder." His body was in the mortal realm, but his heart was in the Heavenly Realm. Omnipresent, and invincible wherever he went.
Moreover, the Taiji Divine Sphere within the Spoon of the Barren God seemed to have been spurred by the "Heaven-Stealing Ladder," accelerating its spinning speed and beginning to release even more Primitive Qi for Fang Han to use. Under this urging, Fang Han's power grew ever more tyrannical, and the speed at which he could activate the Thirty-Three Heavens supreme treasures became faster and faster.
"What Child of the Void of the God Race, the genius figure of the Hidden Assassination God Race, before me, is no more than dog shit."
After Fang Han successfully refined the "Heaven-Stealing Ladder," he reached out with a massive hand that obscured the sun and covered the firmament. Instantly, countless warriors of the Hidden Assassination God Race were jolted and tumbled out from the void, being sacrificed alive. They transformed into the power of holy sacrifice, sinking into Fang Han's body, preparing for the power of the Heaven Origin Strike.
The more he used the Heaven Origin Strike, the more Fang Han felt that the killing move of this technique was indeed formidable.
It contained boundless mysteries, even far more profound than martial arts such as the Dao of Terminating, the Astonishing Ghostly Great Immortal Art, the Seven Styles of Adjudication… It could never be completely explored and understood. Even the Heaven Circulation Instrument, the Incomplete Heaven Map, and the Sphere of Destiny could not fully deduce it, as the combinations of divine abilities within it were as vast as the open sea.
Furthermore, Linglong Immortal Venerable's Heaven Origin Strike was not complete either.
Fang Han even knew that to execute the true Heaven Origin Strike, it required the blending of "two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Great Daos" excluding the Great Destiny Art, completely coordinated by the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao.
It was no wonder that in legends, Daoist Hongmeng from the bygone years was able to use this strike to injure the Progenitor Holy King of the God Race.
The Immortal Realm was even split open by Daoist Hongmeng with a single strike.
"The more God Race I kill, the more holy sacrifice power I obtain, and the greater the might of the Heaven Origin Strike when executed. This is a virtuous cycle. Wait until I encounter brilliant opponents among the God Race again, such as God Emperor Hao Tian, the God Emperor of the Food Immortal Clan, and the young God Emperor of the Trayastrimsa Heaven, I will assassinate them all in one fell swoop. Acquiring their bodies, which are Profound Immortals, and refining them… The benefits will be endless. I can successfully refine several strength-enhancing treasures among the Thirty-Three Heavens supreme treasures, such as the Heaven Supporting Pillar, the Heaven Collapsing Blade, the Heaven Dominating Hammer…"
Fang Han was like a tiger amongst a flock of sheep, slaughtering the God Race to his heart's content.
For a time, an unknown number of God Race experts died by his hands.
With only a roar from him, the grand army of the God Race in the sky fell one after another. Holy sacrifice flames burned on their bodies, turning into purple-black, coagulated blood-like holy sacrifice power that merged into Fang Han's body, transforming into the "Heaven Origin Point."
"You are truly courting death!"
Rumble!
Within the grand army of the God Race, countless grand figures could no longer tolerate Fang Han's slaughter. All of a sudden, attacks tore through the air, power crossing distant spatial and temporal kingdoms. One kingdom of the gods after another surrounded Fang Han, being born and perishing, perishing and being born. They thoroughly wrapped around him, making his power unable to seep out.
Fang Han's expression was calm as he stood suspended in mid-air. His footsteps stepped out with a heaven-shaking gait, and his massive hand extended outward. Every grasping motion was bound to capture tens of thousands of the God Race grand army, crushing them in his hand.
He ignored the besiegement of the kingdoms of the gods entirely.
"Detestable!"
Among the countless God Race grand armies, some powerful existences gnashed their teeth, wishing they could kill Fang Han with a single blade strike, flaying his skin and removing his bones. Among them were God Emperor Hao Tian, the God Emperor of the Food Immortal Clan, and the young God Emperor of the Trayastrimsa Heaven.
These three great God Emperors, all at the Profound Immortal level, each struck out their kingdoms of the gods from afar, yet they could not stop Fang Han's slaughter in the slightest. At the same time, spatial and temporal tunnels appeared beside them, and three more God Emperors descended once again.
One of them was a mass of shadow, precisely the leader of the Hidden Assassination God Race who had suffered a loss at Fang Han's hands, the "Child of the Void." At this moment, one of his arms was missing, and his blood-dripping longsword was nowhere to be seen. His vitality was severely damaged.
"Child of the Void, I told you Fang Han is very formidable. You didn't believe it and forcefully went to assassinate him, now you've suffered a loss, haven't you." The God Emperor of the Food Immortal Clan let out a strange laugh, taking pleasure in his misfortune.
"He is indeed formidable. No wonder the saint Heavenly Consort Umo said he would be the nemesis of the God Race in the future, even the nemesis of the Heavenly Realm, and the nemesis of the Buddhist Realm, the Dragon Realm, and the myriad realms of the heavens. It's not wrong at all. The aura on his body possesses an aura that overrides the immortal Dao. Like the reincarnation of an immemorial grand figure, yet also seems not to be." There was not the slightest fluctuation in the Child of the Void's language, and his face remained a mass of shadow. His arm gradually grew out, still a mass of shadow, and a shadow longsword appeared in his hand. It was astonishingly another immortal artifact.
"Child of the Void, rumor has it that you have three holy swords, this is the second one, right."
A God Emperor great power asked with slight shock.
"Correct, the first holy sword is called Blood-dyed, this one is called Dark Night. No one has ever been able to force me to use the third holy sword, because everyone who saw my third holy sword has died."
"Alright, enough nonsense. If we let Fang Han continue to slaughter like this, the God Race grand armies of our several tribes will probably suffer heavy casualties, and won't be able to establish a foothold in the Void God Realm in the future, being ostracized by other tribes."
"Then what should we do?"
"Let us join hands and execute the Banishment of the Gods! Shift Fang Han away from here, banish him to the side of the Heavenly Realm, close to the Heavenly Realm grand army of the Limitless Great World, and borrow a knife to kill a person, using the power of the Heavenly Realm to kill him! In any case, he is a great enemy of both the Heavenly Realm and the God Race; we want to kill him, and the Heavenly Realm wants to kill him even more."
"Good idea. This person Fang Han cannot be killed. At least we do not have the power to kill him right now, and every time he kills one from our grand army, his power will increase, becoming stronger and stronger, like a snowball. Letting him go to the side of the Heavenly Realm grand army to slaughter is hitting two birds with one stone."
Let us join hands!
The God Emperor experts suddenly formed a great array. A purple-gold throne appeared on the round table-like great array. As every God Emperor sat on the throne, they began to urge a supreme orthodox technique. Phantom images of the gods appeared upon it, and the God Emperor experts abruptly chanted: "In the name of the gods, upon the evil existence, we conduct an eternal banishment!"
Buzz buzz buzz… Spacetime was weeping, heaven and earth were trembling, the gods were exercising their power.
"What is this? Trying to banish me? Dao of Terminating! Break for me!" A warning sign appeared in Fang Han's mind. The spacetime surrounding him actually began to weep, as if about to be sentenced to life imprisonment.
He immediately struck out the Dao of Terminating, wanting to destroy this banishment of the gods. But the banishment technique executed jointly by several great God Emperors was incomparably tyrannical. If it were an ordinary Divine Immortal, upon being hit, they would immediately be banished into eternal void, never to return to the real world.
For a powerful existence like Fang Han, the most it could do was shift him a certain distance away.
The gods did not have much restraining power over him either.
The world spun, yet Fang Han stood firmly in the center, completely unmoving, and struck out the Twilight of the Gods in all directions. In a single instant, all the power of banishment completely disappeared, but the environment around him had also undergone a change; he was actually shifted away out of nowhere.
Just as he recovered, before he could clearly see where he had been shifted to, a torrential rain of Great Immortal Arts struck towards him out of thin air, shattering the protective immortal astral force all over his body inch by inch. The Heaven Refining Armor was instantly worn on his body.
Those Great Immortal Arts actually came wave after wave, never ceasing, and becoming ever more ferocious, causing Fang Han to feel a sense of suffocation.
On the blood-dyed path of stars, in the distant outer space, countless God Race warriors and the Heavenly Realm grand army were fighting in close combat.
Fang Han subsequently saw the Limitless Great World, flashing with golden light, completely materialized, looking like golden flesh and blood, as well as the hundreds and thousands of portals opened by the Heavenly Realm, and he knew where he had been banished to.
"Detestable! These God Emperors actually shifted me into the camp of the Heavenly Realm grand army."
An army composed of countless "False Immortals" and "True Immortals" rolled down from the portals of the Heavenly Realm, like ants and locusts. Fang Han had never seen such a grand scale before. For any ancient orthodox sect or Great World, bringing out a hundred experts above the False Immortal realm was an extraordinary grand formation, known as the Array of a Hundred Immortals.
But now, in the grand army of the Heavenly Realm, these False Immortals and True Immortals were like slaves, the lowliest cannon fodder, and no matter how many were lost, there would not be the slightest heartache.
It was Fang Han's first time seeing the boldness of the Heavenly Realm. The grand army was composed entirely of False Immortals and True Immortals. Every hundred False Immortals were commanded by five True Immortals, arranged into a "small" array formation, and hundreds and thousands of small array formations made up massive great arrays. As tens of thousands of False Immortals and True Immortals simultaneously waved their hands, they struck millions, or even tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of Great Immortal Arts towards the distant Xuanhuang Great World, and even the passages to the Void God Realm.
"Who is it? A heterogenous being has intruded into the camp of our Heavenly Realm grand army. Kill him! Kill him quickly!"
Fang Han's appearance, his majestic aura, and the demeanor of an unmatched expert awed all directions, immediately attracting the attention of many grand figures within the Heavenly Realm grand army.
A grand figure closest to Fang Han abruptly shouted, issuing a kill order.
Immediately, Fang Han saw that in the space of hundreds of millions of miles surrounding him, fully tens of thousands of array formations composed of False Immortals and True Immortals fired Great Immortal Arts towards him.
Every False Immortal and True Immortal fired several Great Immortal Arts, combining to form a torrent of immortal arts. Within this torrent, there were at least five million Great Immortal Arts bombarding towards him.
