Chapter 483: Breakthrough! Golden Core Realm!

Fang Yu directly used his own will to channel magic power and clash head-on with Xing Mie Xie's ultimate technique, sending Xing Mie Xie flying instantly.

This sight shocked the Qunxing Sect's core disciples, their faces turning pale.

"My god! How strong is this man! Even Master Big Brother's ultimate move, 'A Sigh Through Millennia's Rise and Fall,' couldn't touch him—he's only at the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities, Return to Oneness Realm! If he cultivates to the Golden Core Realm, won't he dominate the world, unbeatable beneath the Longevity Secret Realm?"

"Terrifying, truly terrifying—I've finally seen the true power of a natal talisman forged from ninety-nine Divine Abilities. If I, a Golden Core expert, faced him, I'd be obliterated in an instant."

Several experts watching outside—Wu Zixu, Hua Wumei, and others—stared in disbelief; they knew full well how formidable Master Big Brother was, especially his "A Sigh Through Millennia's Rise and Fall," a technique he spent five hundred years traveling the mortal world to master.

How many five-hundred-year spans does a human life hold? Master Big Brother spent five hundred years—long enough for a mortal dynasty to rise from prosperity to ruin, and for a minor faction to grow from obscurity to dominance, sweeping the world unstoppable.

The rise and fall of mortal dynasties revealed a great truth of heaven and earth—a grand current, unstoppable once it surged forward.

Only a cultivator like Master Big Brother could afford the lifespan to spend five hundred years mastering one technique, making it an ultimate killing move that had slain countless experts over the ages.

Yet today, their Master Big Brother's ultimate move had been blocked.

"Fang Yu is indeed terrifying, but defeating Master Big Brother won't be easy—Master Big Brother cultivates the Primordial Spirit Starlight Body, his magic power boundless, and he possesses the Ancient Buddha Lamp Umbrella; he's already invincible."

Yu Yu Tianhua, who owned the Lower-Grade Dao Artifact "Gu Yun Fo," spoke, his body trembling slightly as he did.

He knew Fang Yu was terrifying—even with a Lower-Grade Dao Artifact, he couldn't match the natal talisman forged from ninety-nine Divine Abilities. Especially since Fang Yu's current realm is only the 6th Stage of Divine Abilities; if he reached the Golden Core Realm, who could stand against him?

Amid the core disciples' discussion, Fang Yu activated his natal talisman and launched a ferocious assault directly against Xing Mie Xie's Primordial Spirit Starlight Body, striking with ninety-nine divine lights as spears, shattering the very fabric of Xing Mie Xie's heavenly and earthly manifestation.

But each time Xing Mie Xie's heavenly and earthly manifestation neared collapse, a beam of golden light shot from the lamp flame of the Ancient Buddha Lamp Umbrella, instantly restoring it to perfect condition.

This was the power of the Mid-Grade Dao Artifact, the Ancient Buddha Lamp Umbrella—after being successfully refined by Xing Mie Xie, it complemented and reinforced his heavenly and earthly manifestation.

Had Xing Mie Xie lacked a Mid-Grade Dao Artifact, he'd have met the fate of a Ghost Emperor—long since slain by Fang Yu.

"This Fang Yu is truly formidable—he's cultivated ninety-nine Divine Abilities, and even our Qunxing Sect's Xing Mie Xie is being suppressed."

"This Fang Yu cultivates so rapidly—he must have had other extraordinary encounters. Why haven't I seen him use his magic treasure yet? I heard Yuhua Sect upgraded one of his Top-Grade Magic Treasures into a Lower-Grade Dao Artifact, called some kind of tower—why hasn't he used it?"

"No matter how strong a Lower-Grade Dao Artifact is, it can't match a Mid-Grade Dao Artifact. Is he afraid his Lower-Grade Dao Artifact might be damaged?"

As the six core disciples debated, the duel drew attention from many within Qunxing Sect's Sky Realm; in some Sky Realms, Qunxing Sect's Immortal Venerables who had reached the Longevity Secret Realm exchanged words.

In the Immortal Dao, cultivators who reach the Longevity Secret Realm are honored as Immortal Venerables; in the Demon Dao, those who reach the Longevity Secret Realm are honored as Demon Emperors.

These are common titles, taken for granted.

At this moment, several Qunxing Sect Immortal Venerables watched the duel closely, for on the surface it was Fang Yu versus Xing Mie Xie, but in truth it was a contest of strength between Yuhua Sect and Qunxing Sect.

In one Sky Realm, an elder with extremely long eyebrows spoke first: "This Fang Yu wields the Five Emperors' Great Demon Divine Abilities—I once witnessed Huang Quan Emperor use them; they could truly obliterate all worlds. Back then, if Houtaiyi Sect hadn't possessed a Dao Artifact, Huang Quan Emperor would have wiped them out. Fortunately, the Immortal Realm intervened and suppressed Huang Quan Emperor—yet now this technique appears again in Fang Yu."

This elder with extremely long eyebrows was Elder Xing Fa, a Qunxing Sect expert in administering punishment, just like Yuhua Sect's Elder Tian Xing.

"Fang Yu never obtained the Huangquanmo Sect's Huang Quan Map—the one who obtained it was Fang Yu's clansman, Fang Han. He's here too, and his strength is formidable—he can likely fight above his realm."

Another Elder said.

This Elder appeared as a shifting, formless mass—clearly of profound cultivation, having surpassed Wan Shou Realm and reached the Immortal Body state.

"Yuhua Sect's fortune has been strong lately—producing many extraordinary geniuses. Look at Xing Mie Xie—he's at the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, half a step into the Longevity Secret Realm, yet now he's being suppressed by Fang Yu."

An Elder with only 9th Stage Divine Abilities sighed: "Xing Mie Xie's 'A Sigh Through Millennia's Rise and Fall' is an ultimate spear technique he spent five hundred years refining—yet even this has been blocked. How old is Fang Yu?"

"If Fang Yu breaks through to the Golden Core Realm, even Immortal Venerables of Wan Shou Realm may not kill him. Right now, victory is fifty-fifty—Xing Mie Xie hasn't gone all out. Inside his Ancient Buddha Lamp Umbrella are five million demonic spirits; if they all self-destruct, the power unleashed would be unimaginable."

Elder Xing Fa with the long eyebrows said: "But if he uses this move and injures Fang Yu, our Qunxing Sect and Yuhua Sect's relationship will shatter—this won't be easy to handle."

"True. Xing Mie Xie has always hesitated—whether to detonate five million demonic spirits as a killing blow. The cost is too great. It's acceptable in life-or-death combat, but this is a controlled sparring match—using it would be wasteful. Besides, I think Fang Yu has his own trump card too—he just hasn't revealed it yet."

The Elder, who resembled a void creature, shifting and formless, spoke again.

This Elder was called Elder Yi Xing—in other words, he specializes in regulating stellar forces, and under necessity, he must even move minor stars.

Beyond the Xuan Huang Great World, in the void, countless tiny stars densely fill space; sometimes they block the light of stars, disrupting Qunxing Sect disciples' cultivation.

At such times, Elder Yi Xing must act—he moves these stars with his immensely powerful magic power, ensuring they don't obstruct.

People often say cultivators can pluck stars from the sky—but most of the time, that's boasting. Elder Yi Xing doesn't boast; moving minor stars is his duty.

Of course, he only moves dead, non-luminous objects without stellar power. Planets that emit powerful stellar energy themselves are called stars—immensely powerful entities in the universe.

"Star" means eternal. Such stars, Elder Yi Xing, an Immortal Body Venerable, cannot move—he requires even stronger experts to shift a star.

Yet even moving tiny stars tens of thousands of miles across requires extraordinary magic power.

"I wonder what other tricks Fang Yu has?"

Another Elder still wondered.

And in the next instant, Fang Yu moved his body—his natal talisman transformed into countless talismanic characters, clinging tightly to his flesh. His magic power flooded entirely into his body, wrapping him in a talismanic robe; instantly, his offensive power surged again. With a single casual punch, he shattered the Buddha light shielding of the Ancient Buddha Lamp Umbrella.
