Chapter 1078

He instantly cultivated to the Realm of Immortal Immortality, forged twenty Ancient Celestial Dragon Powers, and Hong Hong Tianjing's face twisted with unbearable hatred and rage: "Damn thing! You forced me to ascend prematurely—I'll kill you! Completely! Leave not even ashes behind!"

Hong Hong Tianjing, within the Chaos Tower, appeared as a god or demon; from his third eye, countless Buddhist lights emerged, and a golden vertical eye opened, firing a red Buddhist light ten thousand zhang long, imbued with the aura of blissful transcendence, its destructive power terrifying—capable of instantly melting low-grade Dao artifacts.

At the same time, his giant hand clenched, each finger like a celestial pillar, countless dragon powers surging wildly within it; numerous phantom celestial dragons instantly appeared, forming a grand array that engulfed Fang Yu.

Hong Hong Tianjing directly unleashed three Great Dao Abilities!

The Three Thousand Great Dao: Great Liberation Art, the Three Thousand Great Dao: Great Dragon Form Art, the Three Thousand Great Dao: Great World Art!

Especially the latter two Great Dao Arts—Great Dragon Form Art and Great World Art—coalesced into a divine art: the Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World Divine Art, crushing straight toward Fang Yu.

Three Great Dao Arts, united in one body!

Hong Hong Tianjing now revealed his invincible bearing.

But Fang Yu laughed—completely, utterly.

"You, such a mere ant, have finally matured—and now you shall die!"

Suddenly, Fang Yu punched forward, unleashing the same divine art: the Ten Thousand Dragons Refining the World Divine Art; as he activated it, three thousand Ancient Celestial Dragons truly appeared.

Not phantoms—real ones!

Three thousand Ancient Celestial Dragon Powers!

With one blow, all of Hong Hong Tianjing's attacks and magic treasures exploded; even his newly cultivated Immortal Immortality laws were shattered instantly by Fang Yu.

No one could describe the terror of that punch; Hong Hong Tianjing couldn't even conceive of resistance before being utterly obliterated.

The gap between twenty Ancient Celestial Dragon Powers and three thousand Ancient Celestial Dragon Powers was far, far too great.

Hong Hong Tianjing, the No. 1 genius of the Wuji Star Palace, perished utterly; all his laws and flesh fell into the Dongxuan Xuanling Armor, instantly elevating this low-grade Dao artifact to a mid-grade Dao artifact!

That's right—the Dongxuan Xuanling Armor has now ascended to mid-grade Dao artifact status!

Its ascent speed was as rapid as Hong Hong Tianjing's own.

Within an extremely brief time, Hong Hong Tianjing's cultivation base rose from the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities to Longevity Stage Two, and thus Fang Yu's Dongxuan Xuanling Armor ascended from Supreme Treasure Artifact to mid-grade Dao artifact.

Had Fang Yu prevented Hong Hong Tianjing's ascent, his Dongxuan Xuanling Armor might have taken ages to reach mid-grade Dao artifact status.

Let it grow—then slay it for better results.

Of course, such things shouldn't be done often; otherwise, you'll become the next Di Shitian—keep pushing, keep pushing, until you meet Duan Lang and get washed away.

All of this occurred in the blink of an eye: Hong Hong Tianjing ascended to the Realm of Immortal Immortality in an instant, then was slain by Fang Yu, enabling Fang Yu to successfully forge a mid-grade Dao artifact.

Fang Yu's gaze turned to Fang Han, his junior brother nearby; this junior brother also hadn't rushed to kill Sima Chong—he let Sima Chong ascend, and so Sima Chong reached the Realm of Immortal Immortality, then was dealt with by Fang Han.

Thus, Fang Han's Eightfold Pagoda gained tremendous benefit.

Killing a 10th Stage of Divine Abilities expert and killing an Immortal Immortality expert bring entirely different benefits to a magic treasure.

"Senior Brother Yu, this Sima Chong is a man of great fortune—he broke through to the Wan Shou Realm right under my nose, swallowed over a dozen immortal pills, even possessed a Life Gem, directly cultivating to the Realm of Immortal Immortality. He also had a High-Grade Dao artifact—the Iron Blood Battle Flag—and an Iron Blood Token, seemingly linked to the Iron Blood Immortal Mansion of our Huang Huang Great World."

In an instant, Fang Han transmitted a mental message.

Fang Yu saw that within Fang Han's Huang Quan Map now floated a great banner: its shaft was gold, yet its material was not gold—it blazed brilliantly, radiating intense Jin Guang; across its surface surged the scent of iron and blood, brimming with killing intent and battle fury, 凝聚countless demon spirits and wills.

This banner was none other than the High-Grade Dao artifact—the Iron Blood Battle Flag—the ancient magic treasure of the Iron Blood Sect of the Huang Huang Great World!

In ancient times, the Huang Huang Great World had many great Men Sects, the Iron Blood Sect among them; but after countless eons of change, the Iron Blood Sect vanished into the river of history—yet its token and High-Grade Dao artifact, the Iron Blood Battle Flag, were acquired by Sima Chong, and now by Fang Han.

"Good. Junior Brother Han, our Huang Huang Great World has Seven Mansions, Three Treasuries, and One Secret Vault. We've now obtained one token—soon we can unlock the Iron Blood Immortal Mansion's treasure!"

Fang Yu nodded, then seized Fang Han and moved instantly to near the Chunyang Hall.

At this moment, the Wuji Great World was no longer a land of clear mountains and bright sun—it was shrouded in darkness, engulfed by demonic clouds; within the clouds, countless demons and monsters clawed wildly, the earth split open with countless fissures, and vast hordes of demons poured forth like ants—tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands; the Wuji Star Palace disciples were now locked in brutal combat with them.

Far above, the heavens trembled violently; it was clear that in another mysterious void beyond the sky, a cataclysmic battle raged, threatening to destroy heaven and earth.

Now, every level of the Wuji Star Palace fought desperately; horrific battles erupted everywhere, demonic qi choked the sky, swordlight flashed everywhere, lethal intent surged ceaselessly; disciples died every moment, countless demons perished.

Jin Dan disciples self-exploded; heavenly manifestation forms self-exploded.

This was truly a horrific hell.

Even Fang Yu and Fang Han, upon witnessing this, shook their heads.

The Wuji Star Palace and Yuhua Sect were natural enemies—they could not sympathize with Wuji—but neither could they side with these demons; the demons' actions were simply too brutal.

Countless cultivators were devoured alive; countless disciples had their souls ripped out.

Horrifying. Utterly.

"When the Divine Clan invades our Huang Huang Great World, it will likely be even more horrific. What we must do now is exhaust every effort to elevate our cultivation base, maximizing our gains."

Fang Han and Fang Yu pondered.

This was not their doing; Chi Yuan Demon Lord would not halt his assault on the Wuji Star Palace because of them—they weren't that important. Their goal now was to seize the Chunyang Pills of the Wuji Star Palace and strengthen themselves.

The two flew directly around the Chunyang Hall; around it now swirled a warped spacetime, protected by an array, within which the hall's disciples launched flying swords to slay countless demons.

Fang Han instantly reached out, slaughtering all demons before him, then roared at a disciple: "Long Kunbao! Quickly open the forbidden array and guide us into the Chunyang Hall!"

A mental message was sent.

"Hurry! These are senior brothers from the Shengnudian—let them in! They're my friends!"

Within the warped spacetime of the Chunyang Hall's array, a noble-looking disciple cried urgently.

This disciple had clearly become Fang Han's agent.

"Is that so? Shengnudian senior brother, and your friend? Then worth saving!"

In the warped spacetime, a primordial giant heard Fang Han's spy's words, shot out a beam of essence-light, instantly drawing Fang Yu and Fang Han inside.

"Excellent, Junior Brother Han!"

Fang Yu knew this was surely his junior brother's planning over the past dozen days—he'd subdued a disciple as an inside agent, making entry into the hall effortless; otherwise, they'd have had to fight their way in.

Instantly inside the Chunyang Hall, Fang Yu swept his hand—soul shockwaves flooded the void, freezing the souls of every disciple from the 10th to 9th Stage of Divine Abilities, and every primordial giant within the hall, leaving them all rooted in place, immobile!

In an instant, all guards were felled by Fang Yu's single move!

"Go!"
