Chapter 610

Along this journey, they truly witnessed the many dangers of the cosmos—meteor showers that struck at irregular intervals, like countless peerless treasure swords slashing down in rapid succession, and void storms that, if one fell into them, would trap one forever in nothingness, never to reappear.

After Fang Yu flew for several more days, he spotted a field of yuanci storm ahead.

"Brother Yu, that region thirty million li ahead is a yuanci storm zone—within it, all metal objects lose their function, are firmly pulled in, and melt instantly into molten iron. But I've cultivated a great divine art called the Yin-Yang Yuanci Divine Knife, which actually requires this yuanci storm to enhance its power."

Fang Qingxue pointed at a vast patch of colorful aurora in the distance and smiled.

Ahead, concentric rings of colorful aurora stretched over ten million li, resembling an ocean of dazzling hues—beautiful and radiant, yet any expert knew it was perilous: this was the epicenter of yuanci storm, where even a Jin Dan cultivator entering would face utter ruin.

Facing such a yuanci storm, most would flee far away; if too close, and if one had cultivated any metal-based divine art, they too would be pulled in—and once trapped, death would come in an instant.

But Fang Yu laughed heartily and manifested his Cosmic Manifestation.

The Cosmic Manifestation—crowned with the Five Emperors' canopies, wreathed in boundless divine light, holding the Book of Divine Sealing and the Clouds of Catastrophe and Slaughter—appeared in the void, instantly expanding into a colossal form ten thousand zhang wide; with a single grasp, countless black holes erupted and surged into the yuanci storm.

Puff! Pfft!

A massive chunk of yuanci storm was torn apart; boundless multicolored yuanci true qi was sucked into the black holes and emerged before Fang Yu's Cosmic Manifestation.

Fang Yu was using his Cosmic Manifestation to activate the Great Devouring Art of the Three Thousand Great Paths; though at the Divine Ability Secret Realm he could not devour suns, moons, or star realms, swallowing a yuanci storm spanning tens of millions of li posed no problem whatsoever.

Fang Yu was like a living Kunpeng, feasting freely on the yuanci storm in the void!

What would take ordinary experts a month to absorb, he swallowed in one gulp.

The yuanci storm he devoured was instantly refined a thousandfold by Fang Yu, then transformed into a cluster of multicolored crystals, which landed in Fang Qingxue's hands.

"Brother Yu, you're truly terrifyingly strong!"

Seeing Fang Yu manifest this Cosmic Manifestation before her, Fang Qingxue's face lit up with joy and ease; she recalled that just one or two years ago, this brother of hers had been nothing but a mere Physical Body Secret Realm brat of the Fang Clan—but now, he was a living behemoth, no, even fiercer than a living behemoth.

Even the offspring of ancient divine beasts could not compare to him.

Even the sons of the supreme leaders of the Immortal Dao sects probably couldn't match him!

Fang Qingxue received the yuanci multicolored crystal from Fang Yu, and after a slight refinement, it gradually coalesced into a single multicolored light blade.

This divine art, "Yin-Yang Yuanci Divine Knife," is forged from yuanci storm; if cultivated to its peak, it can condense yuanci divine thunder—once unleashed, ordinary defensive arts cannot withstand it; even if the enemy wields a low-grade Dao Artifact made of metal, it will be disrupted, directly affecting the artifact and striking the enemy's physical body to slay them.

"It's nothing at all—I share everything with Sister Qingxue."

Fang Yu smiled faintly.

Sister Qingxue had helped him far too much in his breakthroughs; without her using the Minor Destiny Art to draw in sufficient Xu Yuan Qi, his Great Slaughter Art, Great Catastrophe Art, and Great Divine Sealing Art would never have reached their current state.

Cultivating those Great Paths was truly not easy.

Without Sister Qingxue, even just the Great Divine Sealing Art would have taken him two hundred years to perfect.

As for the End-Day Catastrophe within the Great Catastrophe Art—Yan Yan Shuiyi spent three hundred years cultivating it; without Sister Qingxue's aid, I would have needed two or three hundred years too.

Now, all these Great Paths are perfected, making his combat power terrifyingly strong and his Cosmic Manifestation immensely powerful.

So helping Sister Qingxue refine a bit of yuanci energy is truly nothing.

"Brother Yu has grown too fast."

Fang Qingxue smiled and followed beside Fang Yu.

The two continued flying forward; as they flew, Fang Yu's spiritual sense turned inward to the many things suppressed within his Chaos Tower.

Now, within his Chaos Tower, he suppressed a pair of mid-grade Dao Artifacts—the Sun-Moon Essence Wheels, Fan Fan Qingying, and a High-Grade Dao Artifact: the Great Chaos Lei Jian.

"Sister Qingxue, you have the Lei Di's Talisman—could you persuade this High-Grade Dao Artifact, the Great Chaos Lei Jian, to submit to me?"

As they traveled, Fang Yu asked Fang Qingxue.

His Chaos Tower was originally his ultimate secret technique, but the more he suppressed within it, the less he could utilize the artifact—it was very problematic.

"The Great Chaos Lei Jian? I can try using the Lei Di Talisman to communicate with it."

Fang Qingxue nodded; from her body flew a talisman, within which resided a divine spirit clad entirely in thunderous armor, half-male and half-female, holding various magical implements.

This was the spirit of the High-Grade Dao Artifact, the Lei Di Talisman.

After this Dao Artifact spirit rose, it entered Fang Yu's Chaos Tower and immediately saw a colossal sword—its entire body radiated chaotic energy, as if born before heaven and earth, its internal divine thunder vibrating one after another, like the thunder of the primordial chaos from hundreds of millions of years ago echoing into the present.

This was the High-Grade Dao Artifact, the Great Chaos Lei Jian—its power was boundless, its lethality earth-shattering; in the hands of Fan Fan Qingying or Fang Yu, it was nothing special, but in the hands of an ageless titan, one strike could cleave a small star in two.

Yet now, this Great Chaos Lei Jian did not obey Fang Yu at all—it constantly struggled against the Chaos Tower, still held down by it.

"Great Chaos Lei Jian—it really is you! My primordial spirit has locked onto you!"

As soon as the Lei Di Talisman's spirit entered the Chaos Tower, the chaotic spirit within the Great Chaos Lei Jian also noticed the Lei Di Talisman's spirit—but this spirit was suppressed by the Chaos Tower and could not emerge.

"Lei Di Talisman, the Imperishable Lightning Talisman—it's you!"

A voice of shock rang out from within the Great Chaos Lei Jian.

Two High-Grade Dao Artifacts—one talisman, one sword—both ancient relics, the Lei Di Talisman and the Great Chaos Thunder, upon meeting, immediately revealed countless mysteries and transformations.

Fang Yu even sensed that both seemed to harbor thoughts of devouring each other to evolve themselves.

These two High-Grade Dao Artifacts shared many similarities and differences; if they could mutually study and cultivate together, they might undergo fundamental changes and even gain the potential to ascend to peerless Dao Artifacts.

Ordinary High-Grade Dao Artifacts could never ascend to peerless status—even the highest experts could not achieve it.

The Imperishable Lightning Talisman and the Great Chaos Lei Jian both had flaws; only by completing their missing Great Paths could they possibly ascend.

But now, if these two Dao Artifacts mutually compensated and cultivated together, filling each other's gaps, they might gain the chance to ascend to peerless Dao Artifacts.

Thus, when the Great Chaos Lei Jian saw the Lei Di Talisman, its disposition changed.

"Great Chaos Lei Jian, I come now on my master's orders to urge you to submit to Brother Fang Yu. If you submit, we shall both gain countless benefits; if you refuse, perhaps I shall devour you."

The Lei Di Talisman's spirit boomed, its tone carrying a hint of reluctance that the Great Chaos Lei Jian might submit.

"Then I have no choice?"

The Great Chaos Lei Jian, hearing the Lei Di Talisman's voice, rumbled heavily.

"Of course you have no choice—submit to Brother Fang Yu, and you shall gain countless benefits."

The Lei Di Talisman's spirit nodded.

"Very well."

The spirit of this High-Grade Dao Artifact suddenly withdrew its own power, as if permitting Fang Yu to refine its body.

Fang Yu's face lit up with joy; immediately, his magic power seeped into this top-grade Dao artifact, expelling the imprint left by Fan Qingying.

He felt a spiritual connection form between himself and this top-grade Dao artifact; with a mere thought, a million billion chaotic divine thunderbolts surged from the divine sword, capable of slaying a cultivator of the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities with a single strike.

Even without frenzy, merely a casual swing of the sword could slay beings of the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities.

Its destructive power was immense!

Fang Yu sensed that this divine sword was pure destruction, pure killing, born for annihilation—a top-grade Dao artifact far more powerful than the mid-grade Dao artifact, the Azure Sky Piercing Divine Spear, that he had obtained.

Especially after the Great Chaotic Lei Jian submitted to him, Fang Yu gained within this divine sword a mysterious divine technique.

The Great Chaotic Thunder Art was more profound than ordinary supreme divine techniques.

It was a branch of the Three Thousand Great Dao: the Great Chaotic Art.

The Great Chaotic Art ranked among the top ten of the Three Thousand Great Dao.

The top ten Great Dao among the Three Thousand Great Dao were: Great Destiny Art, Great Cause-and-Effect Art, Great Wish Art, Great Reincarnation Art, Great Five Elements Art, Great Yin-Yang Art, Great Origin Art, Great Star Art, Great Catastrophe Art, and Great Chaotic Art.

The Great Chaotic Art ranked among the top ten.

This great Dao technique was mastered by Fan Qingying.
