The prominent figure from the Heavenly Realm actually still refused to let Fang Han off. Even after Fang Han fled from the battlefield of the Wuji and Xuanhuang Great Worlds, he still crossed space and time to pursue him.
Evidently, he was determined to kill him.
This prominent figure from the Heavenly Realm possessed boundless magic power. Furthermore, because he had refined the Wuji Great World as an avatar, he did not need to care about the Heavenly Realm's rules at all, unscrupulously executing magic power and divine abilities, throwing the cosmos into chaos, unstoppable by anyone.
Within this overarching universe, there truly was no existence capable of stopping this prominent figure.
"It seems he's going to hunt me to the death, damn it!" Although Fang Han utilized his maximal power, wishing to escape and not be caught by the opponent, the other party's aura drew nearer and nearer. His body was gradually enveloped by the golden light, and countless space-time domains were dyed brilliant by it.
The brilliance of this Heavenly Realm prominent figure shrouded the past, present, and future, completely irresistible.
Fang Han's magic power fundamentally could not resist the pursuit of this prominent figure; even fleeing had become an impossibility.
Boom!
The surroundings shuddered as countless streaks of golden light coalesced into a prison, trapping Fang Han within. That prominent figure slowly descended, standing above the prison, looking coldly down at Fang Han.
"Fang Han, do not resist, because resistance will only make you die faster."
After trapping Fang Han, the prominent figure did not immediately initiate the kill. Instead, he watched with keen interest the operation of vital energy in every inch of Fang Han's body, seemingly analyzing the profound mysteries of the Eight Divisions Pagoda and the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures.
"Very good, very good. This is the first time I have seen such imaginative brilliance, to actually combine the Eight Divisions Pagoda and the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures, refining them into a single treasure." The prominent figure clicked his tongue in wonder, "Even I do not possess such ability, because the properties of the two magic treasures conflict with one another. Once forcibly fused, an explosion would instantly occur. This is a law of heaven and earth that no one can reverse. Let me see exactly what method you used."
His eyes flashed with golden light once more, and Fang Han immediately felt an sensation of being thoroughly seen through.
The Ancestral Shaman Mirror, which neutralized the two magic treasures, began boiling with vital energy.
"It's actually the shamanic art that prevailed in the previous universe! The supreme treasure of the shamanic path. You actually desecrated fortune, using shamanic arts to forcibly combine the two treasures." Even the prominent figure was visibly surprised, nodding: "Marvelous, truly marvelous. However, this is the calculation of Immortal Venerable Panwu. He can be considered the instigator who added fuel to the fire, condensing the Ancestral Shaman Mirror for you and expelling its resentful chi. Otherwise, you would never be able to control this supreme treasure."
"You want to kill me?"
Fang Han said coldly, his mind calculating how to escape once more.
"I do not want to kill you; I am merely using your hands to force the reincarnation of the Lightning Mother Heavenly Monarch to reveal herself." The Heavenly Realm prominent figure shook his head: "However, you have desecrated fortune, so punishment is mandatory. I must still take you and the Lightning Mother Heavenly Monarch back to the Heavenly Realm together to accept punishment, serving as a warning to others."
"Your primary mission descending this time is to counter the Protoss catastrophe, preventing the Xuanhuang Great World from being refined and a breach forming in the Heavenly Realm. Coming after me with such reckless abandon, aren't you afraid Heavenly Concubine Umo might succeed? You should know that Heavenly Concubine Umo has the potential to become the third Holy King of the Protoss. Perhaps this time, by opening the Heavenly Realm channel and sacredly sacrificing the Xuanhuang Great World, she will truly grasp the essence of civilizational enlightenment, thereby receiving the blessing of the unseen Protoss origin power. Her value is far greater than mine. For you to personally deal with me now while neglecting her is a classic case of forsaking the root for the branches, do you understand?"
Fang Han spoke slowly and methodically, becoming increasingly calm in the face of a powerful foe.
No, this was no longer a powerful foe, but an existence guaranteed to suppress and kill him. To be able to maintain his optimal state under certain-death circumstances demonstrated the fruits of Fang Han's usual cultivation efforts.
"You also know that Heavenly Concubine Umo has the potential to become the third Holy King of the Protoss?" The prominent figure's expression grew more and more surprised: "A Holy King among the Protoss is an existence even more formidable than a Heavenly Monarch. Once cultivated, it will bring a qualitative leap to the entire Protoss, even allowing them to stand as equals alongside the Heavenly Realm. However, under my suppression, she lacks the ability to stir up major waves for the time being. Furthermore, your importance is not the slightest bit inferior to Heavenly Concubine Umo. You must know, you bear the trajectory of destiny upon you. What could possibly compare to destiny?"
"The Xuanhuang Great World could collapse at any moment. Once it is sacredly sacrificed by the Protoss, can you bear that kind of responsibility?" Fang Han cautiously communicated with the corpse of the half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure within his body, preparing to brew divine abilities and strike back.
"If a breach appears in the Heavenly Realm, all factions will be redistributed. It may not necessarily be a bad thing. Naturally, a figure like you would not understand matters concerning the operation of heavenly secrets. Even if I told you, you couldn't comprehend the profound mysteries within." The Heavenly Realm prominent figure remained still and silent, seemingly deducing something.
After deducing for several breaths, his expression suddenly settled, and a smile appeared on his face: "Do not struggle, Fang Han. What you rely on are the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures and the Eight Divisions Pagoda. By confiscating this treasure, it will be equivalent to pulling the claws and fangs from a tiger. I will not allow you to advance any further. Hand it over!"
"Buzz!"
The prominent figure from the Heavenly Realm finally made his move.
The moment he struck, the prison confining Fang Han instantly began radiating intense light, and a surge of Immortal-Transforming Holy Light attempted to invade Fang Han's body once more.
"Breaking out of the prison, no one can trap me." Fang Han was well-prepared. All of a sudden, his own primordial spirit forcibly merged into one with the corpse of the "half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure." Instantly, he felt the mighty figure's ancient and profound intent, along with an iron and blood spirit. That Grand Luo True Fire blazed intensely, burning his spiritual consciousness and wisdom. Had it been an ordinary Divine Immortal, doing this would immediately result in whole-body combustion, turning them to ashes. But Fang Han was different; he withstood the Grand Luo True Fire. Within the flames, his wisdom was elevated, growing increasingly lucid, as if his inner demons had ceased to exist at this moment.
Grand Luo tempering the heart.
He actually intended to fully control the corpse of this half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure to execute the most flawless combat, resisting the prominent Heavenly Realm figure to strive for a sliver of survival.
He had already seen through it; the corpse of this half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure possessed no spiritual consciousness and relied entirely upon its pre-death calculations to execute various actions.
"The remnant that refined the Iron Blood Immortal Mansion within your body? The Iron Blood Sect were rebels against the Heavenly Realm in the ancient era and must be killed. You all shall be buried together." The Heavenly Realm prominent figure jolted, taking a step forward and reaching his massive hand into the prison. The vital energy of the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures and the Eight Divisions Pagoda suddenly began evaporating. The entire treasure, and even the three thousand pairs of sun and moon stars within Fang Han's acupoints, began disintegrating, attempting to fly out of Fang Han's body.
This grasp was unadorned and plain, yet completely irresistible.
This prominent figure from the Heavenly Realm had truly achieved the realm of Dao abiding by nature. With a casual motion, he could reshape rules; with a casual word, it became law. Truly, his words were the law.
This was the first time Fang Han felt his natal magic treasure being stripped away from his body. Just as the prominent figure had said, all of his power stemmed from the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures and the Eight Divisions Pagoda. If these two magic treasures were stripped away, though he wouldn't degenerate into an ordinary Divine Immortal, his combat power would decrease a hundredfold at least. It would be impossible for him to kill a Mystic Immortal; being killed by a Mystic Immortal would be more likely.
His ability to challenge above his realm relied entirely on the two fused supreme treasures.
At the same time, the corpse of the half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure grew restless, on the verge of being taken away.
Right at this moment, the corpse jolted and suddenly opened its eyes. The gaze within was like iron and blood, its intent profound: "My inheritor, the successor of iron and blood, rebel against the Heavenly Realm, turn the world into iron and blood!"
Crack, crack!
Golden cracks appeared on its skeletal frame, and subsequently, a pure golden law, a talisman composed of countless golden runes, struck into Fang Han's bodily natal world, illuminating it entirely. Finally, it permeated into the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures, stabilizing the vital energy that had begun evaporating.
Just how formidable was the corpse of this half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure?
The vital energy contained within it was simply all-encompassing, vastly more robust than that of the four individuals who had received the immortal mansion inheritances. From this, it could be seen that no true experts had left behind their corpses in those other four immortal mansions. That pure golden law contained a Golden Immortal's comprehension towards the Grand Luo Dao.
A mere speck of comprehension of the Grand Luo Dao was ten times more tyrannical than an ordinary Mystic Immortal's laws.
By refining the half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure's corpse, Fang Han effectively refined the equivalent of dozens of Mystic Immortal powerhouses. The profound mysteries of Grand Luo and the laws of the immortal path entirely surged into the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures. The supreme treasures that had already transformed into immortal artifacts consecutively radiated luster, while those that hadn't began their metamorphosis.
"Bang, bang, bang…"!… Countless immortal melodies rang out sequentially. Under the impact of this Grand Luo law and the power from the melting half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure's corpse, immortal chi began appearing in the remaining Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures. As treasure after treasure started transforming, their power entered the most powerful "Gate of Supreme Heaven", and Fang Han simultaneously received a feedback of power.
The three thousand pairs of sun and moon stars within his bodily acupoints suddenly extinguished, seemingly forever losing their luster, devoid of any light or heat. All vital energy restrained itself, and every acupoint world entered a state of eternal darkness.
Yet, an abstruse aura rippled within them.
The artistic conception of a Mystic Immortal began to emerge. He had truly touched upon the laws of the Mystic Immortal, and that profoundest of all profound artistic conception, the gateway to all wonders.
There were a full thirty-two of the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures that transformed into immortal artifacts. Only the most powerful "Gate of Supreme Heaven" was still spinning; despite absorbing the half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure's corpse, it actually could still not advance! This core gateway of the thirty-three heavens—who knew what level of existence it was—endlessly devoured laws and vital energy yet simply refused to undergo any changes.
However, Fang Han knew that if this "Gate of Supreme Heaven" truly transformed into an immortal artifact now, the entire Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures would be thoroughly elevated to a brand new stage.
Known as the Artifact of Fortune, the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures were absolutely not so easily fully advanced.
"I am now a half-step Mystic Immortal. To truly cultivate into a Mystic Immortal, I still need the Gate of Supreme Heaven to completely transform into an immortal artifact! What a pity, even this half-step Golden Immortal corpse still lacks sufficient vital energy. What would I need to advance it in the future? The corpse of a true Golden Immortal?" Fang Han calculated in his heart. In a split second, he once again tore open the golden light set up by the prominent figure and fled outward.
