Chapter 496

In the Yuhua Tiangong, only Fang Yu remained.

Elder Tian Xing went to see the Supreme Sect Master, but no one knew what outcome this would bring.

Fang Yu now had two matters on his mind: first, to acquire more treasures in preparation for the Wind and Fire Great Calamity; second, to take advantage of this moment to eliminate several Divine Kings who had infiltrated the Da Xuan Empire.

Think about it—a Divine Lord of Heavenly Man Realm possessed a peerless treasure; how much more powerful would the treasures of a Divine King in Golden Core Realm be? Fang Yu found it nearly impossible to believe they lacked Dao Artifacts.

Divine King-level Divine Clan experts must possess Dao Artifacts.

However, dealing with these Divine Clan Divine Kings required caution and precision—they must be killed in a single strike.

Divine Clan Golden Core experts were each stronger than human cultivators of the same realm; a Divine Clan Divine King's magic power was several times—even ten or more times—greater than that of an ordinary human Golden Core cultivator, and with a Dao Artifact and ample elixirs to fuel it, each could match the combat power of a 9th Stage of Divine Abilities Heaven-Earth Manifestation expert, or even a 10th Stage of Divine Abilities Defying Heaven and Altering Fate expert—far from easy to kill.

To kill these bastards, if he had the World Tree, it would be somewhat easier.

As Fang Yu pondered, Elder Tian Xing's voice echoed from afar: "Fang Yu, the Supreme Sect Master wishes to see you."

Accompanying these words was a massive surge of magic power that instantly teleported Fang Yu deeper into the Yuhua Tiangong.

Fang Yu made no resistance, allowing himself to be drawn deep into the Yuhua Tiangong, where he indeed met the Supreme Sect Master of Yuhua Sect once again—Feng Baiyu.

This Sect Master still appeared as a youth, yet his body radiated an aura as vast as mountains and oceans; streams of pure yang energy swirled around him. Without doubt, the Supreme Sect Master of Yuhua Sect, whose cultivation base had reached the Creation Realm, constantly communicated with the Immortal Realm, drawing in its pure yang Xu Yuan Qi and transforming it into pure yang Immortal Qi.

The amount of pure yang Xu Yuan Qi this Supreme Sect Master ingested and exhaled reached an unimaginable scale, yet he did not immediately cultivate his many disciples, instead adopting a laissez-faire stance.

Only if a disciple truly caught his eye would he bestow a gift.

"Fang Yu, you uncovered a spy hidden within our Yuhua Sect—this is a great merit. I must reward you. Moreover, you have now reached the Golden Core Realm; for our Yuhua Sect, you are an unparalleled genius and must be nurtured properly."

Feng Baiyu's gaze fixed on Fang Yu, instantly discerning his realm.

"Fang Yu, let me see the Golden Core formed from your ninety-nine Divine Abilities."

The Supreme Sect Master spoke, clearly intrigued.

"Alright."

Fang Yu nodded, and instantly, a brilliant golden Golden Core rose in his mind.

What manner of Golden Core was this?

The moment this Golden Core appeared, deep within the Yuhua Tiangong, it seemed as if a sun had risen—endless golden light purged all clouds and mist, revealing a landscape stretching thousands of li.

Upon this massive Golden Core seed, countless forces and Divine Abilities merged into one single Golden Core—Creation, Origin, Hong Meng, Chaos, Sacredness, Mythology… countless mysterious and profound energies manifested upon this Golden Core.

This Golden Core, if stirred even slightly, could destroy mountains, evaporate oceans, and recreate the mortal world.

"Excellent! A Golden Core formed from ninety-nine Divine Abilities—this is what it looks like? Such power is nearly on par with that of an Eternal Giant!"

Elder Tian Xing, upon seeing Fang Yu's Golden Core, wore an expression of shock; he stared at the myriad Divine Abilities contained within it, some so rare he himself deemed impossible to obtain—yet Fang Yu had cultivated them all.

Especially this Golden Core forged from ninety-nine Divine Abilities—its power was terrifyingly boundless, even approaching his own.

He was an Eternal Giant, one who had entered the Longevity Secret Realm; when unleashing his full power, one palm could unleash the strength of an Ancient Heavenly Dragon. Yet on Fang Yu's Golden Core, he sensed it was nearly equal to the strength of one Ancient Heavenly Dragon.

"This is the Golden Core formed from ninety-nine Divine Abilities—truly, heroes emerge in youth! Fang Yu, your lifespan is surely just one or two years short of ten thousand years. Such a Golden Core is truly unprecedented in history; when I broke through to Golden Core Realm, I had only dozens."

The Supreme Sect Master of Yuhua Sect praised repeatedly, as if seeing for the first time a Golden Core bearing ninety-nine Divine Abilities.

"Fang Yu, having reached the Golden Core Realm, your status in our Yuhua Sect has naturally risen greatly. According to our sect's rules, once a disciple reaches Golden Core Realm, they may cultivate the supreme Divine Abilities in the Yuhua Ascension Scripture. But now, your Golden Core is already saturated with Divine Abilities—what is your wish?"

Feng Baiyu asked.

The rule of Yuhua Sect was that once a disciple entered the Divine Ability Secret Realm, the sect would teach them one Divine Ability.

When a disciple reached the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities—Heavenly Man Realm—the sect not only granted the cultivation methods of the Eight Great Divine Abilities of Yuhua Sect to aid the Heavenly Man cultivator in condensing the Five Elements, but also granted one wish.

As for disciples who reached the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities—Golden Core Realm—Yuhua Sect would open its collection of supreme Divine Abilities; reaching Golden Core Realm meant one was among the sect's core disciples, and the sect naturally must teach supreme Divine Abilities!

One great Divine Ability, eight great Divine Abilities, supreme Divine Abilities!

This was the cultivation method for Yuhua Sect's true disciples.

"My wish… I currently possess a Dao Artifact obtained through trial, seemingly incomplete—could the Supreme Sect Master perhaps repair it?"

Fang Yu retracted his Golden Core, hesitated, and pondered whether to reveal the existence of the Li Huo Divine Furnace from the Shrouding Heaven Realm.

The Li Huo Divine Furnace originated from the Shrouding Heaven Realm, and its style inevitably clashed with that of the Huang Da World. Yet Fang Yu recalled Xing Mie Xie's Lamp of the Ancient Buddha Umbrella—a Fomen treasure—that was even more incongruous in the Huang Da World than the Li Huo Divine Furnace.

On the Huang Da World, treasures from other civilizations—even technological civilizations—were perfectly normal; no one within the sect would interfere with such matters.

For instance, the Star Lord of Qunxing Sect never expelled Xing Mie Xie for possessing a mid-grade Dao Artifact from the Fomen; only the four-thousand-year-old Taiyi Sect expelled Exalted Linglong after she obtained a Dao Artifact from a Mo Sect, leading her to establish the Linglong Blessed Land and slay many of Taiyi Sect's Elders and Supreme Elders.

Thus, Fang Yu no longer hesitated; his expression unchanged, he summoned forth the Li Huo Divine Furnace.
