Chapter 335
Not bad, the Ji Zi Mi of the Nine Mysteries.
This one of the Nine Mysteries requires no enhancement of the Dao, nor does it require enhancement of Fang Yu's supreme divine abilities—it directly amplifies Fang Yu himself, causing his physical strength and magic power to surge violently.
When Fang Yu's magic power surged at this moment, the power of the Lei Di Talisman became even more terrifying; countless arrays within this High-Grade artifact were activated by Fang Yu, its power vastly exceeding what Fang Qingxue could achieve alone.
Layer by layer, amplification upon amplification—at this moment, Fang Yu activated the Lei Di Talisman, revealing its unimaginable power.
"Good! Immortal Lei Di!"
Hua Tiandu's expression remained unchanged, but his Heavenly-Geographic Manifestation—five heads, nine arms—roared forth rolling celestial sounds; eight arms swung weapons, desperately trying to tear apart the Immortal Lei Di, while the ninth arm reached again for Fang Han.
Two colossal beings clashed instantly.
Heavenly-Geographic Manifestations collided.
Massive waves of magic power radiated outward—boom boom boom boom boom!
This was power capable of overturning heaven and earth. Far away, around the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, floating palaces were shattered by the shockwaves and fell to the ground.
The grand main hall of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion rippled with waves, its external celestial prohibitions faintly beginning to rotate.
At this moment, Fang Yu felt unprecedented power: using the Nine Mysteries to amplify his own magic power, and using that magic power to activate a High-Grade artifact, his strength surged dozens of times in an instant—millions of magic power fluctuations poured forth from the Lei Di Talisman, directly clashing with Hua Tiandu's Heavenly-Geographic Manifestation.
What is boundless strength? What is one force shattering ten thousand methods? Fang Yu now felt it completely and utterly.
Yet facing Hua Tiandu—who was also a being of one force shattering ten thousand methods—they were momentarily evenly matched.
If this were to spread, it would shock the entire cultivation world.
"Yuhua Sect is fighting! Internal strife has broken out!"
"Can Fang Qingxue and Fang Yu of the Fang Clan really stand against Hua Tiandu?"
"Who is Hua Tiandu? He is a 10th Stage of Divine Abilities cultivator, the top direct disciple of the Yuhua Sect, long ranked first among its Five Direct Disciples, crushing the other four. But now, with Fang Qingxue and Fang Yu joining forces, they can directly clash with Hua Tiandu?"
"Terrifying, terrifying—Hua Tiandu's power could sweep through every direct disciple of Yiyuan Sect. Now Yuhua Sect has produced two disciples who can match him evenly—will my senior brothers in Yiyuan Sect lose to Fang Qingxue and Fang Yu at the Xiandao Assembly?"
"Indeed terrifying, especially Fang Yu—his magic power is so formidable. It seems his earlier claim that he would subdue Zhao Xuanyi wasn't just empty words."
"Look! Hua Tiandu is now truly enraged—he's using his 10th Stage of Divine Abilities to attack Fang Han, who is only at the 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities! Fang Han can't hold out anymore!"
All onlookers now felt complex emotions—some amused, some shocked, some wary—and now they saw Hua Tiandu's magic power strike toward Fang Han, penetrating the Yuegong Cauldron and immediately freeing the Six True Persons trapped within.
"Brother Zhao Xuan, Brother Song Weiyi, I have freed the six True Persons of Taiyi Sect."
In his attack, Hua Tiandu not only resisted the combined power of Fang Qingxue and Fang Yu, but even directed a fraction of his Heavenly-Geographic Manifestation into the Yuegong Cauldron, rescuing the six True Persons of Taiyi Sect.
"Hua Tiandu, you won't capture me!"
From within the Yuegong Cauldron came Fang Han's roar of fury.
At this moment, Fang Han went all out.
Although Fang Qingxue and Fang Yu had blocked ninety-nine percent of Hua Tiandu's power, the Heavenly-Geographic Manifestation's dispersion was unpredictable—Hua Tiandu used less than half a percent of his scattered force to shatter Fang Han's Daoist Gang Qi and penetrate inside.
The gap between 3rd Stage of Divine Abilities and 10th Stage of Divine Abilities was simply too vast—Hua Tiandu's one "horse-power" could directly defeat Fang Han's hundred "horse-powers." Though both were called "horse-power," they could no longer be measured in mere weight—the disparity in quality had reached an extreme.
One horse-power breaks a hundred—this is the gap of realm.
"Perfect opportunity!"
Seeing this, Zhao Xuanyi suddenly roared, instantly communicating with Song Weiyi—Song Weiyi engaged the Demon Marshal, while Zhao Xuanyi broke from the battlefield and unleashed Black Sun Wind Disaster, lunging at Fang Han; the Black Sun Wind Disaster enveloped him instantly, as if aiming to kill him outright.
"Refine this man—and refine this cauldron too!"
Zhao Xuanyi was taking advantage of a man's weakness to kill him—at this critical moment, he sought to seize Fang Han's treasure cauldron and refine him.
This was the best opportunity.
The black whirlwind howled—woo woo—like the rage of ghosts and gods.
"Wretch."
Seeing this, Fang Yu didn't hesitate—he thrust out two fingers.
The first finger thrust shattered the Black Sun Wind Disaster in midair with the Great Cutting Technique.
The second finger thrust struck Zhao Xuanyi, the Taiyi Sect Jin Dan expert who was about to strike while the iron was hot—his protective artifact shattered, his body grievously wounded, and he was forcibly slammed downward.
Had he not activated his Jin Dan as a shield before his body at that instant, this Jin Dan expert would have died outright.
Even so, Fang Yu's full-power Great Cutting Technique had cracked Zhao Xuanyi's Jin Dan all over, nearly shattering it completely.
Terrifying.
Extremely terrifying.
A 5th Stage of Divine Abilities practitioner striking a 7th Stage of Divine Abilities expert—one blow nearly shattered his Jin Dan, crippled a Jin Dan expert!
Such a feat, if spread, would be utterly unbelievable.
"I'll go all out too!"
Just as Hua Tiandu's fury deepened—clearly enraged that Fang Yu had nearly crippled Zhao Xuanyi—Fang Han inside the Yuegong Cauldron also went all out; his power surged tenfold in an instant, activating the Yuegong Cauldron, whoosh—he shot straight toward the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion.
He was willing to charge into a dead end—the main hall of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, a path sealed for millennia.
"What?!"
Fang Qingxue was stunned.
"Bad."
Hua Tiandu was also startled.
At this moment, everyone was shocked—they had never expected Fang Han to be so ruthless, charging straight into the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion. Even if captured by Hua Tiandu or Taiyi Sect disciples, there was still a chance of survival—especially since Fang Yu of Yuhua Sect had already shattered Zhao Xuanyi's Black Sun Wind Disaster and rescued him.
Yet he seemed oblivious—he deliberately charged into the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, which was a certain death path.
The massive Taiyuan Immortal Mansion rippled with waves and ripples, as if sensing the approach of the Yuegong Cauldron, its prohibitions reacting instinctively.
These ripples spread with immense force; the void itself echoed with terrifying sounds like mountains collapsing and seas roaring—as if billions of galloping horses surged forward. Even the Demon Marshal and Song Weiyi, with their cultivation base, could not help but change expression.
Over a hundred million units of power!
Only a Longevity Secret Realm cultivator could possess such power.
"Heavenly-Geographic Manifestation, Pan Wu Great Strength—break through!"
Hua Tiandu saw this scene and no longer exerted force to surround and attack Fang Qingxue and Fang Yu. The five-headed, nine-armed Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect instantly stretched dozens of miles and fiercely grabbed toward Fang Han, intending to capture him alive before he could enter the immortal mansion.
A true disciple of Yuhua Sect dying was no trivial matter; he could not escape responsibility.
Little did he know that his urging of the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect like this instead provoked the restriction counterattack of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion.
Countless restriction transformations finally turned into a kind of colored light. Each strand of that colored light was immensely powerful. The moment it emerged, the nine great hands of Hua Tiandu's Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect immediately crumbled. Then the colored light reflected back, fiercely wrapping around Hua Tiandu, intending to directly obliterate this person who showed no respect for Heaven's might.
Hua Tiandu also sensed an intensely powerful danger. The massive Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect continuously transformed, shifting through nine forms, constantly shrinking, but the colored light shrank along with it, clinging like a bone-attached leech. In an instant, both the Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect and the Taiyuan Colored Light became the size of a fist.
A terrifying battle of arts erupted here. Around Hua Tiandu's body surged intense five-element radiance, expanding thousands of times, once again transforming into a colossal being.
Countless explosive sounds burst forth from Hua Tiandu's body, and the colored light surrounding him was instantly shattered into pieces.
"How formidable — even the Taiyuan Colored Light could be broken open by him. He has at least three hundred more years of Dao cultivation than me."
The Demon Marshal watched this scene and immediately understood the gap between himself, the so-called number one genius of the demonic path, and Hua Tiandu, knowing he was no match at all right now.
In the main hall of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, layer upon layer of restrictions were left behind by "Taiyuan Xianzun," who had cultivated to the 10th Stage of the Longevity Secret Realm and was close to becoming an immortal. This Taiyuan Colored Light was merely one of them. If a Divine Ability Secret Realm expert were wrapped in it, it would almost certainly mean death — yet Hua Tiandu broke through it.
Opportunity knocks but once.
The Demon Marshal seized this chance, his body transforming into a long rainbow-like white light, and directly shot out through the Guixu passage.
"Hua Tiandu, another day I will compete with you again!"
The Demon Marshal's voice transmitted out from the void; while speaking, he was already several thousand miles away.
Clearly the Demon Marshal feared Hua Tiandu would react and capture him, so he used his strongest escape art — the White Bone Escape.
Hua Tiandu, because he had to blast open the "Taiyuan Colored Light," actually did not manage to intercept him in time.
At this moment, Fang Han's Yuegong Furnace had also completely entered the wrapping of the Taiyuan Colored Light, vanishing without a trace, as if a clay ox had plunged into the sea.
Hua Tiandu stood before the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, silent.
"Good, good. Fang Han has entered the immortal mansion and has no path to survival. What a pity about the two supreme-grade treasures on him — if we obtained them, our strength could increase tenfold."
Fushou True Person saw Fang Han disappear into the cave mansion and felt both joy and regret.
"Yes, the Demon Blade Bloodsky and the Yuegong Furnace are both supreme-grade treasures. If they fell into the hands of our Taiyi Sect, and were refined by the Jingyoumen Sect Elders, they could completely become two lower-grade Dao artifacts! But it's fine now too — Fang Han dying is good, dying is wonderful. He was a calamity, a malignant tumor. Otherwise, at the Qunxian Assembly three years from now, he would surely have brought us trouble."
Luming True Person was also extremely pleased.
"Indeed, dying well, dying wonderfully."
The six True Persons communicated through spiritual sense. They had just been captured and suppressed by Fang Han, and if word got out their reputations would be ruined; moreover, upon returning they would certainly be severely punished. The mere thought of the sect's punishment made them gnash their teeth in hatred.
But now that Fang Han was dead, they had also vented some of their spite.
"Hua Tiandu, you forced Fang Han, a true disciple of my Yuhua Sect, to death. I will definitely report this matter to the Zhang Sect Supreme, and let him decide. Fang Han was a genius rare in three hundred years for my Yuhua Sect, a great destiny bearer. You have now forced him to death — let's see how you explain yourself."
Fang Qingxue gazed for a long while at the place where Fang Han had disappeared, seeming about to erupt, but restrained herself. After a while she finally spoke to Hua Tiandu.
"Hua Tiandu, against outsiders you are meek and timid, afraid of offending them, but against your own people you strike ruthlessly, jealous of the talented and envious of the superior. What face do you have to occupy the position of First Senior Brother of my Yuhua Sect? I think you'd better go to Taiyi Sect and be their First Senior Brother."
Fang Yu was silent for a while, then also spoke.
He had long anticipated the occurrence of this scene.
