Fang Han had finally cultivated into a Mystic Immortal.
The third layer of immortal, the realm of the Mystic Immortal. This realm had already surpassed the power found in the mundane world. Because according to ordinary immortal Dao laws, a Divine Immortal was already the absolute pinnacle in the mundane world. Once you cultivated to a Mystic Immortal, no matter what methods you possessed, you had to ascend immediately, unless you instantly sealed your own Mystic Immortal laws and never executed Mystic Immortal methods for all eternity.
What was even more formidable was that Fang Han was no ordinary Mystic Immortal, but an existence comparable to a half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure. The accumulated Mystic Immortal laws within his body could fully rival the sum of perhaps a hundred ordinary Mystic Immortals.
Even if dozens of Mystic Immortals like "Dragon Whisker Venerable" and "Haotian Divine Emperor" added their power together, they might not necessarily match his.
Before cultivating into a Mystic Immortal, he could kill an ordinary Mystic Immortal with a single palm, slaughtering the four great genius Mystic Immortals like Wang Yukun and Song Yuanshan as easily as chopping melons and slicing vegetables. Now, perhaps with just a single breath, the four of them would be turned to flying ash.
Furthermore, at this moment, the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures had aggregately transformed into immortal artifacts, fusing into his body and combining with the Eight Divisions Pagoda even more tightly, without the slightest gap. In true great perfection, amidst the unseen forces, much true meaning of the Fortune Divine Fist descended from the Heavenly Realm once again.
"To create is to give life, to transform is to bring death. To create is to be born out of nothing. To transform is to vanish into nothingness. Life and death, the void, the immeasurable, the periphery, the unmoving, the eternal… this is fortune…"
Countless immortal Dao scriptures flowed within his heart.
At this very moment, he seemed to have comprehended the true essence of fortune. Just like the "Dao of Endings," he had obtained the core of its true inheritance. He now had a brand new understanding of the martial arts of the Thirty-Three Heavens Fortune Divine Fist within his body.
Moreover, countless divine ability methods, cultivation techniques of Great Immortal Arts, and various fragmented segments all manifested from the immortal artifacts. Previously, Fang Han's Fortune Divine Fist, for instance, the "Heaven-Collapsing Crash," was merely a method for utilizing the power of fortune. But now, this move revealed its specific cultivation method.
The move "Heaven-Collapsing Crash" contained exactly ninety-nine of the Three Thousand Great Daos, including the "Great Shifting Technique," "Great Flickering Technique," and "Great King Hegemon Technique." Besides these, it also included some unnamed ancient divine abilities, inheritances from the Immortal Realm, and the true meaning of Heaven-Collapsing. In the past, Fang Han simply could not deduce these methods no matter what he did, but now, they flowed out from the "Gate of Supreme Heaven" one by one.
Thirty-three moves, and each move was a combination of ninety-nine of the Three Thousand Great Daos, blended with three thousand types of immemorial secret arts of the Immortal Realm. Only through combining and condensing them could one strike out a fatal blow. A killer move that could cause heaven to collapse and earth to sink.
The Fortune Divine Fist, at the exact moment the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures transformed into immortal artifacts, finally revealed specific cultivation methods. It was no longer simply utilizing the power of fortune.
Fang Han's body already contained nearly a thousand of the Three Thousand Great Daos and countless immemorial secret art divine abilities. Furthermore, he could reverse time; in but a split second, he could cultivate for a thousand years, condensing his vital energy to successfully cultivate an immemorial secret art.
"The Mystic Immortal realm is so marvelous. I can't even feel my own lifespan anymore. I am already able to share the lifespan of heaven and earth and the radiance of the sun and moon, surpassing a hundred million years. This was something I wouldn't have even dared to imagine before. I wonder what my lifespan will be when I go to the Heavenly Realm? Rumor has it that one day in the Heavenly Realm is one year in the mundane world. I wonder if that is true down to the letter."
In one ten-thousandth of an instant, Fang Han familiarized himself with the Mystic Immortal laws within his body. Concurrently operating the Fortune Divine Fist, he repeatedly familiarized himself with the various functions of the thirty-three supreme treasures. Only then was he utterly satisfied. His whole body was brimming with power, swelling and vast, like an immemorial giant beast breaking free from its cage. Slashing a palm toward the Heavenly Realm prominent figure, he simultaneously executed the Supreme Heaven Holy Method, reaching for the City of Violent Lightning.
"Lightning Mother Heavenly Monarch, you actually dared to scheme against me, using the soul brand of the Gate of Eternal Life to catalyze the Gate of Supreme Heaven, causing me to fail on the verge of success. But it does not matter. Today, both of you shall be captured and killed by me."
That Heavenly Realm prominent figure had missed his strike, caught utterly off guard and exploited by Fang Han, who snatched back the control authority of the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures. Moreover, Fang Han even borrowed the power of his Golden Immortal Origin Core and Wuji Relics to ultimately transform them into immortal artifacts. This was tantamount to weaving a wedding dress for another. Given his dignity, how could he possibly endure this?
Unable to suppress his rage, his whole body elevated. Countless disaster cloud energies gathered on his palm as he flipped his hand to suppress downward, constantly expanding as if aiming to grab all the heavens and myriad realms in a single handful.
Fang Han's "Supreme Heaven Holy Method" unexpectedly suffered distortion and began to collapse.
"Break for me!" The Heavenly Realm prominent figure threw his entire body forward, his finger piercing through and striking right at the core of the Supreme Heaven Holy Method. Cracks actually appeared on that Gate of Supreme Heaven, and then the vital energy of the Supreme Heaven Holy Method was shattered entirely.
"Even though I have cultivated into a Mystic Immortal, I am still no match for this Heavenly Realm prominent figure. However, at least I can resist a bit now; I won't be completely devoid of the ability to fight back." Retracting his palm, a surge of Grand Luo True Fire welled up within Fang Han's body. As the Mystic Immortal laws rotated and Origin Beginnings Chi permeated outward, the cracks on the Gate of Supreme Heaven were instantly repaired. Simultaneously, his body flickered backward, actually managing to evade the certain-death move from the Heavenly Realm prominent figure.
Before cultivating into a Mystic Immortal, this very move from the Heavenly Realm prominent figure would have claimed his life.
But now, he could evade it and was even able to brew a counterattack. At the very least, the Heavenly Realm prominent figure could no longer toy with him at will.
"Right now, this Heavenly Realm prominent figure should possess Golden Immortal cultivation. And I am a Mystic Immortal. I can no longer challenge those above my realm. A Golden Immortal is a Golden Immortal; Grand Luo is unfettered, and in all space and time, it is eternal and incorruptible." Having reached the Mystic Immortal realm and looking up at a Golden Immortal, Fang Han finally realized that challenging above one's realm had become near impossible.
Within the immortal realms, the Golden Immortal acted as a nearly insurmountable threshold.
A Heavenly Immortal was a lackey, a Divine Immortal was a figure of slight status, and a Mystic Immortal was a high-level individual. But a Golden Immortal was a bona fide giant of the Heavenly Realm! The difference in strength could no longer be compensated by sheer numbers. Nor could it be compensated by magic treasures.
"This Heavenly Realm prominent figure acquired Golden Immortal combat power by refining the Wuji Great World as an avatar. So just how tyrannical is his true body? Good thing his true body cannot descend to the lower realm, otherwise, would there still be any opponents left?" Fang Han calculated as he once again struck out the Fortune Divine Fist. Now that this set of fist methods possessed a specific cultivation method, its might augmented by an increment with every deduction he performed in his mind.
After deducing for three instants, as he swung his fist, fortune permeated the air. One cosmic domain after another was generated out of the void, actually managing to slightly withstand the attacks of the Heavenly Realm prominent figure.
"Senior Sister Qingxue, where are you? Retreat swiftly. I will hold off this Heavenly Realm prominent figure for a moment. Now that I have cultivated into a Mystic Immortal, possessing the capability to escape, the ultimate goal of the Heavenly Realm is to capture you. I am nothing but bait!"
While executing the Fortune Divine Fist, Fang Han's intent radiated outward alongside his fist force.
He wanted Fang Qingxue to leave immediately so as to avoid suffering a sneak attack from the Heavenly Realm.
"Hmph! Neither of you will leave!" The Heavenly Realm prominent figure amplified his power once again. One Primordial Wuji Map after another flew out from his body. Magnificent and sweeping, the mountains and rivers of myriad ages, the cosmos spanning inside and out, the state and the nation, everything was contained within those maps.
"How can there be so many Primordial Wuji Maps!" Fang Han was startled. This map had originally been the grand immortal artifact guarding the Wuji Star Palace, and there had only been one. But now, nearly a thousand maps surged directly out from the Heavenly Realm prominent figure's body. It was impossible to discern whether they were phantoms, or if there genuinely were that many immortal artifacts.
Fang Han seemed to perceive the might of an immortal artifact within every single map.
With his current eyesight, he could not clearly distinguish truth from falsehood.
"Cavern Heaven Eye!"
He executed an extremely mysterious magic treasure among the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasures. This magic treasure was an eyeball. The eyeball appeared azure, with hundreds of millions of pupils rotating within it. It could shoot forth the Cavern Heaven Divine Light, possessing the supreme function of investigating hidden secrets and could even see through peoples thoughts.
However, even upon using this Cavern Heaven Eye, he could not clearly see which single Primordial Wuji Map was real, and which ones were illusions.
"Can you see through my Golden Immortal Grand Luo Dao, the supreme divine ability of the Dual Phases of the Real and the Illusory? If so, would I still be able to capture and kill you? Lightning Mother Heavenly Monarch, do not bother hiding anymore; come out! I am not only the lord of the real world, but also the lord of the illusory world. The real and illusory exist as two phases, the Dao spanning the interstitial dimensions."
The figure from the Heavenly Realm suddenly shook the void. As the nearly one thousand Primordial Wuji Maps drifted throughout the air, an incarnation of the City of Violent Lightning abruptly manifested at the apex center of the formation of maps. Atop the city stood a woman.
It was exactly Fang Qingxue.
Meanwhile, the City of Violent Lightning that the Heavenly Realm prominent figure had grabbed previously had vanished without a trace.
"This is your true body. I have finally forced you out." The Heavenly Realm prominent figure suddenly drew to a halt and stood with his hands behind his back. However, the hundreds upon thousands of Primordial Wuji Maps shook even more violently, wave after wave, endlessly unceasing. The magnificent mountains and rivers, the cosmos stretching inside and out, continually expanded outward. There emerged a tendency that sought to entirely cover the entire Dragon Realm.
Letting out a sudden and resonant long howl, Fang Han slipped forth like a swimming fish, drawing near to Fang Qingxue, and similarly descended into the City of Violent Lightning.
"Senior Sister, where did you go to cultivate all these years? It is only today that you finally appear!" The moment he drew near to Fang Qingxue, Fang Han instantly noticed the difference. Her entire body exuded a supreme, unapproachable, and awe-inspiring flavor. Furthermore, neither human nor immortal, neither divine nor demonic, she resembled an incarnation of nature itself, commanding all spiritual deities like a king among nature's gods.
Most notably, regarding Fang Qingxue's cultivation, Fang Han discovered that she was actually not below himself. She appeared to have also cultivated into a Mystic Immortal! Moreover, exceeding his own state, her being possessed certain marvelous facets of the Grand Luo unfettered freedom. She was actually infinitely close to the cultivation of that half-step Golden Immortal mighty figure.
Just a single step—only one step away from comprehending Grand Luo and traversing toward the supreme Dao of the Golden Immortal.
"How could your cultivation possibly elevate to such an extent…" Fang Han thought to himself. He had endured boundless fortuitous encounters, myriad hardships and obstacles, having unknown amounts of destiny bless his frame, yet Fang Qingxue had similarly reached this realm, even edging one step further.
"Yaoguang has already ascended to the Heavenly Realm. I have located the treasures I left behind from that year, as well as my own molted remains." Fang Qingxue said, "I have further located the remnants of the artifact of fortune that resulted in my destruction during that time and integrated them into my body. What a pity. In this mundane world, it is already impossible to cultivate into a Golden Immortal; one has to go to the Heavenly Realm."
The intent transmitted into Fang Han's mind, allowing him to understand everything clearly.
