Chapter 1116

High above the Yuhua Sect, Tao Mr., who had cultivated to the Longevity Fourth Realm of Zhaoguang, could hardly believe his eyes—when Fang Yu's giant hand seized downward, he felt infinite, boundless spacetime power, so potent and mysterious it seemed to surpass even his own understanding of the Dao of spacetime.

Under such spacetime power, his Dao techniques faltered, as if a wheel spinning at high speed had suddenly been jammed by a massive iron beam, halting instantly.

In an instant, Tao Mr. knew his comprehension of the Dao of spacetime was utterly inferior to Fang Yu's.

But how could this be?

Everyone knew that breaking through each realm of the Longevity Secret Realm required countless ages—he had spent eight thousand years refining to reach the Longevity Fourth Realm of Zhaoguang, finally gaining the opportunity to comprehend the Time Law and ascend to Zhaoguang.

Even now, he remained in the early stage of the Longevity Fourth Realm of Zhaoguang; he had no idea how many tens of thousands of years more he would need to cultivate to enter the Longevity Fifth Realm of Creation.

Yet Fang Yu's displayed power was unmistakably the Peak Realm of the Longevity Fourth Realm of Zhaoguang!

How could this be?

But even so, he would never allow himself to be captured by a rising upstart here.

"Xuanguang Tianqiu!"

Tao Mr. roared, and within his body, the sphere expanded instantly—countless pure lights, like primordial clarity born from chaos, surged upward to resist Fang Yu's attack.

"A grain of rice dares to shine?"

In the void, Fang Yu sneered—he did not even summon a single high-grade Dao artifact; with a single grasp, the Heavenly Will Grasping Hand, forged from the Great Void Heaven Art and the Great Soul Art, slammed down, its divine power infused with thousands of Ancient Celestial Dragon forces, seizing the dense pure light and capturing Tao Mr. himself.

As for the other three Senior Elders of the Longevity Third Realm of Cavity Realm—Sun Xihua, Five-Sword Prince, and Green-Faced Venerable—they were utterly crushed by Fang Yu; all their methods—space laws, mid-grade Dao artifacts—were rendered useless against his spacetime laws.

Beneath Fang Yu's hand, spacetime froze; the three Senior Elders could not activate their divine arts—they were sealed outright, imprisoned in still spacetime before all eyes, reduced to tiny figures.

"You thought you three could act recklessly before me? Let me tell you plainly—I've just returned from my travels, comprehended the Time Law, and entered the Longevity Fourth Realm of Zhaoguang!"

Fang Yu's voice echoed through the grounds, rolling outward, reaching even the deepest recesses of the Yuhua Tiangong, into the ears of every Senior Elder. "I toiled outside, battling the Dragon Clan and Fomen, securing glory and boundless treasures for our Yuhua Sect—yet you old fools dare to strike at my disciples, ambush me, and recruit worthless trash, turning our sect into a cesspool of internal strife. What must be done to change you? Only death!"

As he spoke, Fang Yu clenched his fist toward Sun Xihua, one of the Longevity Third Realm Senior Elders—Sun Xihua instantly exploded, his Cavity Realm rupturing into fragments of space law.

Before all eyes, Sun Xihua—the master of Hua Tiandu's master—was crushed to dust.

"What? Fang Yu Xianzun is this powerful? Four Senior Elders attacked him together—and he still captured them all?"

"Did you hear? Fang Yu Xianzun has reached the Longevity Fourth Realm of Zhaoguang—how fast is that? Longevity Fourth Realm requires comprehension of the Time Law! In our Yuhua Sect, countless experts have cultivated for millennia without mastering it—yet Fang Yu Xianzun has!"

"Terrifying—truly terrifying! How many years has Fang Yu Xianzun cultivated? To reach such a level? His genius likely surpasses every past Sect Master of our sect—even our current Sect Master took over two thousand years to reach this realm!"

"Too brilliant! Fang Yu Xianzun's genius dwarfs Hua Tiandu's by countless times—Hua Tiandu is barely at the Immortal Body realm and already boasts so loudly, yet Fang Yu Xianzun has reached Longevity Fourth Realm! Even if Hua Tiandu cultivates for thousands of years, he'll never catch up!"

"At this pace, Fang Yu Xianzun may reach Longevity Sixth or Seventh Realm in just a few millennia—our Yuhua Sect will soon have another Sage! Then the Three Yuhua Sages may become the Four Yuhua Sages!"

"But Fang Yu Xianzun just attacked Senior Elders—that violates sect rules…"

"Rules? What rule did he break? Since Hua Tiandu brought those trash into our sect, it's become a cesspool—they even dared attack Yu Peak! That's suicide. Sun Xihua, Deng Ao—they're the root of our sect's corruption. They must be purged. Only by removing them can our sect thrive!"

"True. Since Fang Yu Xianzun joined our sect, he's amassed countless merits, secured endless glory, pushing our Yuhua Sect to second place among the Xiandaoshi Sects, even threatening to surpass the Taiyi Sect—while Hua Tiandu and his Senior Elders only cling to Taiyi Sect. Hua Tiandu himself was practically Taiyi Sect's dog!"

Many disciples and elders were whispering, especially those on Yu Peak—upon seeing Fang Yu Xianzun swiftly subdue the four Senior Elders, their faces glowed with excitement.

They had known Fang Yu Xianzun was powerful—but now they realized just how powerful he truly was!

Longevity Fourth Realm—Zhaoguang!

They had once thought Fang Yu Xianzun was merely a Longevity Third Realm Cavity Realm expert.

"Fellow Daoist Fang Yu, please cease. The Three Sages request you enter the depths of the Yuhua Tiangong to speak."

At that moment, two voices echoed from deep within the Yuhua Tiangong.

With the voices, two concentric circles appeared in the void, from which two more Senior Elders emerged—one an old man clad entirely in white, the other a middle-aged Confucian scholar.

"Elder Tianhe, the Confucian Scholar."

Fang Yu recognized the two Senior Elders—both were experts of the Longevity Third Realm of Cavity Realm, yet had not yet comprehended the Time Law.

In the past, he had found such experts formidable—but now he sensed their magic power was merely two hundred Ancient Celestial Dragon forces, equivalent to an average Cavity Realm expert; against him, one hand could annihilate them.

Yet Fang Yu would not strike them—he smiled. "Since the Three Sages have spoken, I shall go."

Fang Yu stepped forward, unafraid.

"Fellow Daoist Fang Yu, your cultivation speed exceeds our imagination—you truly reached the Longevity Fourth Realm of Zhaoguang in such a short time?"

Elder Tianhe walked beside Fang Yu, studying him closely, his eyes filled with curiosity.

As a cultivator who had spent millennia in the Longevity Third Realm of Cavity Realm, he truly could not fathom how Fang Yu had so effortlessly comprehended the Time Law and ascended to Longevity Fourth Realm.

"Indeed, I had some extraordinary fortune—thus I comprehended the Time Law. But once understood, the Time Law is everywhere."

Fang Yu smiled, and a speck of light appeared in his hand—it flowed, coalescing into a Time Clock. As the clock trembled slightly, countless ripples of time spread through the void.

"This Zhenji Clock I present to you two fellow Daoists—perhaps it may aid your comprehension of the Time Law."

Fang Yu smiled.

"This… thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

Both Elder Tianhe and the Confucian Scholar wore delighted expressions—they could see the Zhenji Clock, though its movements were unclear to them; yet if they grasped its mystery, they might enter the Longevity Fourth Realm of Zhaoguang.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Fang Yu. Our Yuhua Sect is fortunate to have a genius like you. But your open attack on Sun Xihua, Deng Ao, and others violates our sect rules. Our rules state that to punish a Senior Elder, you need the Sect Master's permission and approval from half the Senior Elders. Your actions may provoke discontent among them."

The Confucian Scholar spoke. "Yet our sect's major decisions ultimately rest with the Three Yuhua Sages. We wonder how they will view today's events."

"Thank you for informing me, but I am merely purging the rot within our sect—I have nothing to fear."

Fang Yu smiled faintly.

"I hope so."

As they spoke, the three entered the depths of the Yuhua Tiangong. Now, Fang Yu understood the entire palace more clearly—his gaze swept briefly and saw countless spacetime tunnels throughout its depths, housing many mortal realms, demonic spirits, even demonic gods and divine beasts.

Advancing forward, they reached the Jin Xian Hall—ancient Yang energy surged toward them. High above, three colossal suns still burned, within which three powerful auras flowed.

Within those three suns were the Three Yuhua Sages.

"Three Sages, Fang Yu has arrived."

Elder Tianhe and the Confucian Scholar bowed respectfully toward the three suns.

"What do you all think?"

From the lofty suns, an ancient voice echoed—none could tell which of the Three Yuhua Sages had spoken.

"Fang Yu, has your cultivation base truly reached the Longevity Fourth Stage, Lightflow Realm? Not relying on some high-grade Dao artifact? If that's really the case, your talent is indeed unimaginable."

As the words of the Three Saints of Ascension fell, one of the Supreme Elders spoke up.

This Supreme Elder was also an expert at Longevity Fourth Stage, named "Xiuli King." He had once been an Imperial Prince of a secular kingdom, and by chance stepped onto the immortal path. He had now become a figure of legend.

His gaze swept over Fang Yu, and suddenly he threw a punch.

This punch carried no great force, but it contained his comprehension of the Dao of Spacetime. The condensed power of time seemed about to form a grand time formation.

Within this grand time formation, the flow of time was extremely fast. A single breath in the outside world might equal a hundred years passing within the formation.

"Fellow Daoist Xiuli King, I have indeed comprehended the Law of Time."
