The Heavenly Realm prominent figure acted directly and straightforwardly; his primordial spirit clashed with Fang Han, routed all of his consciousness, and then poured his vital energy into the "Gate of Supreme Heaven," actually intending to forge it personally to metamorphose this treasure into an immortal artifact.
At the very instant a treasure transformed into an immortal artifact, all rules would undergo an alteration. Whoever could ensure this momentary change remained completely within their control could master this immortal artifact.
Right now, the Heavenly Realm prominent figure did not hesitate to expend vital energy to forge the "Gate of Supreme Heaven", which meant comprehensively plundering the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures and eliminating all future troubles.
He even wanted to sacrifice Fang Han himself into the Gate of Supreme Heaven to increase its power.
All the results would belong to him.
Fang Han did not know how many fortuitous encounters he had experienced, how many figures he had killed, or how many experts, magic treasures, and immortal artifacts he had refined to finally temper the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures to this current stage. The Heavenly Realm prominent figure was precisely capitalizing on the best moment to plunder it all in one fell swoop and reap the fruits of victory.
The "Gate of Supreme Heaven" was only one final step away from being capable of transforming into an immortal artifact, and this set of Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures could also undergo its ultimate metamorphosis, turning into an inconceivable existence.
"You fundamentally do not understand the ultimate mystery of the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures. In the past, the condensation method for the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures was secretly brought down to the mortal realm by a Kunpeng King who had cultivated to the realm of Supreme Immortal. However, that Kunpeng King received his punishment, his body dying and his Dao vanishing. What he left for his descendants was searched over by the Immortal Realm for many years, yet it was obtained by you. Now, on behalf of the Heavenly Realm, I shall reclaim this supreme treasure."
The Heavenly Realm prominent figure sneered coldly, accumulating and pouring essence energy to induce the final step of alteration in the "Gate of Supreme Heaven".
Fang Han knew that this was the final juncture of his life and death, but at this very moment, his mood was terrifyingly calm. The more dangerous it got, the less he panicked in the face of peril. He unceasingly struck out the Supreme Heaven Holy Method, launching attacks against the Heavenly Realm prominent figure.
However, golden light surged around the Heavenly Realm prominent figure, directly neutralizing his onslaught.
"Wuji Relic, Golden Immortal Origin Core!"
Suddenly, the Heavenly Realm prominent figure stepped forward. His grand hand acted as a shroud, his five fingers like mountains, and he directly locked onto Fang Han's head through the void: "You still wish to resist? Under my magic power, there is no one who can resist!"
All around Fang Han, it was as if he were sealed within eternal and unmeltable profound ice. Only the faintest trace of life force was capable of movement.
However, that Heavenly Realm prominent figure did not execute his killer maneuver right away. Instead, he opened his mouth and spat out a golden pill. This pill was not an elixir, but a Dao fruit formed from a Golden Immortal's origin. Surrounding this Dao fruit were a full thirty-six Wuji Relics compactly clustered together.
He spat this all out and injected them entirely into the Gate of Supreme Heaven.
Instantly, the Gate of Supreme Heaven jolted. Finally unable to withstand the condensation and vital energy catalysis of this prominent figure, it suddenly skyrocketed, changing into a gateway towering hundreds of thousands of zhang, piercing straight into the firmament, seemingly even taller than the heavens. From within that gateway poured out an absolute and supreme true meaning. The Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures within Fang Han's body entirely flew out. The Heaven-Transforming Armor, Heaven-Circling Instrument, Heavens-Defying Umbrella… none of them belonged to Fang Han anymore, and every final strand of marvelous utility was about to be thoroughly severed.
The Heavenly Realm prominent figure wore a cold smile, looking at Fang Han with pity, seemingly mocking him for ultimately handing the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures over to himself in the end.
A critical situation!
An ultimate state of crisis!
Once the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures were stolen away, Fang Han would be entirely at the mercy of others.
At the instant the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures flew up, the Eight Divisions Pagoda also flew up due to vital energy resonance, while Fang Han's entire body was unable to move a muscle.
"Your true body desecrates fortune. Only by using fresh blood and your life can it be washed clean, allowing fortune to regress back to its ultimate and supreme dignity. Die for me!"
The Heavenly Realm prominent figure suddenly pointed at Fang Han. In an instant, roaring flames exploded out from the three thousand acupoints across Fang Han's body, beginning to evaporate his blood and smelt his wisdom and spirit.
"Enter into the Gate of Supreme Heaven for me! Fuse!"
The Heavenly Realm prominent figure shook the void and seized Fang Han's entire physical frame, tossing him into the Gate of Supreme Heaven. Subsequently, he rapidly executed thousands upon millions of hand seals, initiating the sacrificial refinement.
Boom!
At this moment of ultimate crisis, a streak of essence light traversed the Dragon Realm, bombarding over from a distant space and time, aiming to directly pierce toward the prominent figure's back.
This crystal light was ten thousand miles thick. With a single sweep, countless planets were reduced to flying dust.
Faintly, at the source of the crystal light, the form of a giant cannon adorned with ancient bronze patterns could be seen. It was the "Immortal Ancient Lightning Cannon".
"Reincarnation of the Lightning Mother Heavenly Monarch, I knew you would appear. Suppressing and killing Fang Han was also intended to lure you out. Now you can finally endure no longer and have made your move. Unfortunately, you have not yet fully developed your strength. It is truly too much of a pity. With your fortuitous encounters, the deeper you lay low and the longer the time, the stronger and safer you would be."
This Heavenly Realm prominent figure let out a long howl. Turning around to grasp, a formless power wrapped around the crystal light, causing the shooting output of the Immortal Ancient Lightning Cannon to collapse inch by inch. Before it even reached his side, it had completely dispersed. Those essence lights turned into lightning bolts, wandering through the air to transform into countless lightning dragons that scattered into all directions, obliterating unknown amounts of space-time and extinguishing an unknown number of tangible and formless existences.
Crack!
After the Heavenly Realm prominent figure destroyed the essence light, a portion of the void above his head ruptured, and that massive ancient lightning cannon appeared above him once again, bombarding downward with an even larger streak of essence light.
"You do not know whether you live or die!"
The Heavenly Realm prominent figure struck a palm upward, and that essence light thoroughly exploded. Like a Divine Dragon of the Nine Heavens, he rose up propping up the firmament, and taking advantage of the momentum, he grabbed hold. The entire firmament was snatched up by him, and the entire Dragon Realm was immediately swept by surging winds and rolling clouds. He deployed a peerless method: "Heavenly Orbit Secret Art, World-Dominating Strike!" Streaks and trajectories of heaven leaped up, splitting open the crystal wall system of the Dragon Realm and slicing it into fragmented ruins. As this prominent figure smashed the firmament and rent the earth, the true physical form of the Immortal Ancient Lightning Cannon deep within the distant space-time was instantly revealed.
"Come here!"
He made a grasping motion in the empty air, and that Immortal Ancient Lightning Cannon was actually forcibly snatched out from the distant space-time by him, manifesting within the Dragon Realm.
At this time, the Dragon Realm was exceptionally quiet and silent. No major figures took action to interfere with him; they all seemed to remain silent, submitting under his peerless tyrannical majesty.
Along with the Immortal Ancient Lightning Cannon being forcefully pulled out came a lightning city, the City of Violent Lightning.
This was an immortal artifact, an immortal artifact on par with the Treasure-Distributing Cliff. The Immortal Ancient Lightning Cannon upon it spat out energy ceaselessly, bombarding this prominent figure with hundreds of millions of consecutive shots.
However, before the essence light from these cannons even approached the prominent figure's body, it was completely dispersed. This prominent figure stood like an immemorial demon sovereign who would never fall, permanently towering between heaven and earth until the end of the future.
"The City of Violent Lightning; originally there were eighty-one King-grade immortal artifacts of this kind, plus one Royal City. It was the nation you, Lightning Mother Heavenly Monarch, once manufactured. What a pity that only this solitary city remains now, and it is far from being restored. Ah well, your ancient glory has declined. Although you attempt to restore it once more, it has already become nothing but an illusion of flowers in a mirror and the moon in the water. I shall let your glory finally be extinguished." The Heavenly Realm prominent figure grasped outward once again.
That City of Violent Lightning actually underwent a violent tremble, as if it were a ship encountering a severe storm, nearly capsizing. Ultimately snagged by this grasp, it was on the verge of falling into the prominent figure's palm, to be destroyed and refined alive.
Moreover, while extracting the City of Violent Lightning, the Heavenly Realm prominent figure saw a woman standing in the center of the lightning city, dressed in clothes whiter than snow. It was exactly Fang Qingxue.
"Lightning Mother Heavenly Monarch, you are a figure from the far ancient era. Long before I was born, I heard of your grand name. But now, I am going to end you with my own hands! Ending a legend, how truly exhilarating," the divine sense of the Heavenly Realm prominent figure quivered, but the execution of his strike was exceedingly rapid, devoid of the slightest tremble. With a flick of his finger, a streak of golden light shot out. It was the condensation of his lifelong cultivation, intending to strike Fang Qingxue dead. Simultaneously, his divine sense enveloped the four extremities of the wilderness, not allowing anyone to invade contextually and fundamentally preventing Fang Qingxue from escaping.
"Bang!"
Right at the instant of his single strike, precisely at the moment when he was about to blast Fang Qingxue upon the City of Violent Lightning into pulverized fragments, a massive gateway descended from the heavens and actually fused together with the Gate of Supreme Heaven.
That massive gateway was ancient, profoundly far-reaching, connected to the immemorial past, and piercing through to the future.
In that distant future, where time and space shattered and heaven and earth returned to primal chaos, this ancient gateway would still exist. It existed now, it existed in the past, and it would eternally exist hereafter.
The Gate of Eternal Life.
Soul brand.
No one anticipated that when the Heavenly Realm prominent figure was refining Fang Han's Gate of Supreme Heaven, having spat out the Golden Immortal Origin Core and Wuji Relic to catalyze the Gate of Supreme Heaven to the final step and transform it into an immortal artifact—and was even more prepared to refine Fang Han within it—the soul brand of the Gate of Eternal Life would descend from the heavens, striking straight into the Gate of Supreme Heaven.
The Gate of Supreme Heaven had been forged by the Fortune Immortal King based on the Gate of Eternal Life, into which he had melded his own Great Dao. Now that Fang Qingxue suddenly put forth a bizarre maneuver and merged into the gate, the Gate of Supreme Heaven changed in an instant, seemingly acquiring its own soul.
From within it, Fang Han charged straight out. The blazing true fire all over his body consecutively receded. His countenance was solemn: "Prominent figure hailing from the Heavenly Realm, son of the Disaster Heavenly Monarch, I thank you deeply for assisting me in condensing the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures to the final step. Were it not for your Golden Immortal origin, it would have been impossible for me to transform the Gate of Supreme Heaven into an immortal artifact."
Fang Han's gaze was tranquil, as if everything was fully under control.
Countless mystic energies soared to the sky from all over his body. His acupoints crackled and popped, and all the sun and moon stars lit up once more. The Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures charged out of the Gate of Supreme Heaven again, combining into one with his physical frame. That Eight Divisions Pagoda blossomed with brilliant light, and the origin power of the Dragon Realm entered his body madly. At this very moment, he was the Dragon Realm, and the Dragon Realm was him. He was the creator and the owner of the entire Dragon Realm.
Above his head, the Mystic Immortal laws wove into streaks of long rainbows, connecting north, south, east, and west.
Within the Dragon Realm, that high-hanging blazing sun seemed to receive Fang Han's resonance. With a single tremble, endless and unceasing fire dragon chi descended from the blazing sun, fusing into Fang Han's body.
The blazing sun of the Dragon Realm was completely different from the sun stars within the mundane world. Every single ray of true fire was an eternal and everlasting dragon essence divine fire. Now blessing Fang Han's body, it caused every single hair on his body to metamorphose into true fire dragon essence.
At this very moment, he completely obtained the control authority over the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures, and with a single bound, stepped into the Mystic Immortal realm.
Truly and genuinely becoming a Mystic Immortal.
