Chapter 724: Sixteen Ancient Dragon Powers! One Hundred Thousand Years!

The three deputy sect masters of Yuhua Sect now felt as if they had seen a ghost, for they were all ancient titans of the Longevity Secret Realm who had personally experienced the breakthrough from the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities to the Longevity Secret Realm.

To break through from the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities to the Longevity Secret Realm, one must open the Xianjiezhi Sect; when the Xianjiezhi Sect opens, the Xian Realm's Xu Yuan Qi and the Dao's principles leak out, and after a cultivator absorbs this Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi and Dao's principles, their strength surges dramatically.

They had originally believed themselves to be peerless geniuses, thinking the Xu Yuan Qi and Dao's principles flowing from the Xian Realm during their own breakthroughs had been abundant—but until today, they watched in stunned silence as Fang Yu's breakthrough released a hundred times more Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi and Dao's principles, and the Xu Yuan Qi continued flowing endlessly, as if it would never cease!

This was simply unimaginable, utterly unbelievable.

"Why? Why is his breakthrough to the Longevity Secret Realm so colossal? Why is the Xu Yuan Qi pouring from the Xian Realm so terrifying? I was already a peerless genius in my day, shocking Yuhua Sect—now compared to him, I am nothing at all?"

Yi Jianqiu roared inwardly, his sense of grave danger surging violently.

"If he keeps ascending like this, won't he directly reach Immortal Body? The amount of Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi he's absorbing already equals that of an Immortal Body!"

"Terrifying—truly terrifying. When he was at the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities, he killed Ruyizi. Now, with this breakthrough, won't he be able to slaughter us ancient titans at will?"

Wang Daoling's expression was grim. "I have a premonition—our era of Longevity Secret Realm titans, towering above all, seems destined to vanish with Fang Yu's ascent! Ruyizi won't be the first ancient titan he kills—I sense a bloody storm is coming!"

This ancient titan of the Longevity Secret Realm, deputy sect master of Yuhua Sect, felt an unimaginable chill rise within him as he witnessed Fang Yu's breakthrough.

As soon as he spoke, the other two ancient titans simultaneously felt a cold dread.

Yet at this moment, Fang Yu's breakthrough had not yet ended.

After smashing open the Xianjiezhi Sect, he received boundless Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi and Dao's principles; his primordial Heavenly Manifestation's power surged wildly, his physical body strengthened uncontrollably, and his strength soared.

Five Long Zhili was not Fang Yu's limit—in fact, as he refined more and more Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi and Dao's principles, his strength quickly surpassed five Long Zhili.

Six Long Zhili.

Seven Long Zhili.

Eight Long Zhili.

…

Fang Yu's strength kept increasing, rising rapidly, with the increments now measured in Long Zhili.

One Long Zhili was the lifelong dream of any cultivator in the Divine Ability Secret Realm, and for the vast majority of such cultivators, they would never even encounter the concept of one Long Zhili in their entire lives.

Even geniuses like Fang Yu and Gu Dao reached one Long Zhili at the 10th Stage of Divine Abilities—but for most 10th Stage cultivators, their entire lives spent at that stage yielded only ten to twenty million, or thirty to forty million horsepower, never touching one hundred million.

Now Fang Yu's strength had reached eight Long Zhili—this terrifying power could crush any peerless genius below the Divine Ability Secret Realm without effort.

Fang Yu's current intake of Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi exceeded that of ordinary ancient titans by tenfold, even dozens of times.

With a single breath, Fang Yu could sense the Xian Realm's Xu Yuan Qi; with a single movement, his body erupted with thousands of zhang of Yang Flame, clearly converting the Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi into Yang Xu Yuan Qi in an instant.

To Fang Yu's eyes, the Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi now split into many forms—he could see that the pure Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi was actually composed of three thousand strange types of energy: Heavenly Light Qi, Pure Yin True Qi, Serene Qi, Bright Light Qi, Bone Origin Qi, Five Elements Qi, and countless others.

These Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi were all superb for nourishing oneself, calming the spirit, aiding cultivation, and enhancing Divine Abilities; if a mortal cultivator obtained them, it would be a heavenly fortune—Heavenly Light Qi, for instance, was an excellent material for crafting Heaven-grade elixirs, while Bright Light Qi was an ideal material for several Earth-grade materials.

Yet among the three thousand Xian Realm energies, the nine Yang Xu Yuan Qi held supreme dominance: Solar, Lesser Yang, Mystery Yang, Jade Yang, True Yang, Ultimate Yang, Harmonious Yang, Flourishing Yang, Eternal Yang.

These nine Yang Xu Yuan Qi reigned supreme, condensing into pure Yang power, and Longevity Secret Realm cultivators refined these nine Yang Xu Yuan Qi from the Xian Realm's three thousand energies.

The other two thousand nine hundred ninety-one types were heavenly treasures to Divine Ability Secret Realm cultivators, but to Longevity Secret Realm titans, they were not the most precious—they naturally devoted their focus to the nine most valuable Yang Xu Yuan Qi.

Now that Fang Yu had entered the Longevity Secret Realm, he could directly absorb the nine pure Yang forces from the Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi, transforming them into Nine Yang Holy Water, and further into Pure Yang Pills—he now possessed the ability to produce elixirs himself, far superior to his former reliance on random opportunities.

Nine Yang Holy Water and Pure Yang Pills were transformations of pure Yang power, supreme treasures—Nine Yang Holy Water could purify magic treasures, temper Dao artifacts, and even cause Dao artifacts to go berserk, multiplying their power several times over; if a Dao artifact's spirit consumed Nine Yang Holy Water or Pure Yang Pills, it could also elevate its own cultivation base.

At this moment, as Fang Yu entered the Longevity Secret Realm and Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi and countless Dao's principles flooded in, the golden ancient tree within his Chaos Tower—the tree from the Perfect World that might evolve into a World Tree—felt boundless joy, every root trembling with ecstatic celebration, brimming with renewed vitality.

The golden ancient tree had never imagined it would one day absorb so much Xian Realm pure Yang Xu Yuan Qi—each drop, in its own world, was a supreme treasure, yet here it flowed like worthless water, a river crashing upon it.

Joy!

A heavenly joy!

The golden ancient tree was so delighted it nearly sang—its roots absorbed the surrounding Chaos Qi, filled with boundless joy, every star on its leaves seeming ready to transform from potential into true stars.

At this moment, the golden ancient tree received a fortune it had never known in countless eons, undergoing a heavenly transformation.

Not only the golden ancient tree—nearly all disciples of Yuhua Sect gained significant boosts; Fang Yu's single breakthrough to the Longevity Secret Realm, becoming an ancient titan, granted Yuhua Sect nearly seventy additional Divine Ability Secret Realm experts, and fifty to sixty of its True Disciples elevated their realms.

Even Yuhua Sect's Yin-Yang Wan Shou Pills could not compare to the Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi river unleashed by Fang Yu's breakthrough.

That terrifying Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi, the countless Dao's principles crashing down—any disciple near Fang Yu with even a spark of sentience gained varying degrees of advancement.

"Excellent! Excellent! One Longevity Secret Realm titan's breakthrough has brought Yuhua Sect such immense benefits! If we had several more disciples like this ancient titan, how much stronger would Yuhua Sect become?"

Elder Tian Xing was overjoyed, his gaze sweeping the surroundings—now, not only Yuhua Sect's True Disciples and inner/outer disciples, but even the sect's cultivated beasts and birds had received this heavenly fortune, gaining the potential to become spirits—if they survived the heavenly tribulation, they could transform into demons.

Although Yuhua Sect claimed to be a Xiandao Sect Sect that slew demons and eradicated evil, it would never hunt down its own cultivated cranes that became spirits—it would treat them well.

Elder Tian Xing praised endlessly; his gaze fell upon Elder Chuan Gong, Elder Tian Yao, Elder Tian Quan, and others—these senior elders at the 9th and 10th Stages of Divine Abilities were now immersed in the Realm of Dao Comprehension, clearly inspired by Fang Yu's breakthrough to the Longevity Secret Realm.

It was as if they had witnessed the breakthrough process to the Longevity Secret Realm in advance—its benefits to them were immense.

One person attains the Dao, and the entire sect reaps great fortune. This is one reason why Longevity Secret Realm titans hold supreme status!

Of course, the greatest beneficiary was unquestionably Fang Yu himself—he underwent a complete metamorphosis; his primordial Heavenly Manifestation was now subtly merging with his physical body.

Every inch of his body radiated ten thousand zhang of radiant light; all Dao techniques flowed through him—Great Five Elements Art, Great Divine Sealing Art, Great Calamity Art, Great Star Art, Great Cutting Art, Great Entangling Art, and even the Great Entangling Art he acquired from Kanlishen Sect—all underwent fundamental transformations; a mere flick of entangling Gang Qi could directly strangle Hua Tiandu or Meng Shaobai.

All Dao techniques had ascended to the level of the Longevity Secret Realm—this feeling was immensely powerful.

Fang Yu stepped forward, and the void trembled; boundless Xu Yuan Qi cheered around him, energies from countless dimensional spaces poured in, triggering a tidal storm.

Fang Yu walked through the void, treading within the tidal storm of Xu Yuan Qi.

The Xu Yuan Qi from the tidal storm fell upon disciples surrounding the Elder Tian Xing Platform—each received a heavenly fortune, rejoicing wildly.

Even a single hair from him was the greatest fortune a Divine Ability Secret Realm disciple could ever dream of!

This was the Longevity Secret Realm!

This was the ancient titan!

One step to heaven—Your Majesty, Your Majesty, ten thousand times Your Majesty!

Fang Yu had now become a cultivator of the Longevity Secret Realm, First Stage: Wan Shou Realm.

He clearly felt his lifespan surge—from nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine years, it skyrocketed: ten thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand!

His lifespan stabilized at one hundred thousand years, ceasing its rise.

His magic power, meanwhile, as he refined the Xian Realm Xu Yuan Qi and Dao's principles, climbed from eight Long Zhili to nine Long Zhili, ten Long Zhili, eleven Long Zhili, thirteen Long Zhili, finally halting at sixteen Long Zhili.

Lifespan, one hundred thousand years!

Strength, sixteen Ancient Heavenly Dragon powers!

This was the greatest harvest Fang Yu obtained the moment he stepped into the Longevity Secret Realm.

The great Dao divine abilities he cultivated were simply too many — such as the Grand Origin Art, the Grand Devouring Art, the Grand Five Elements Art, the Grand Confinement Art, the Grand Thunder Art, the Grand Star Art, the Grand Chaos Art, as well as many supreme arts from other worlds, such as the Kun Peng Treasure Art, the Original True Explanation, the Six Paths of Reincarnation Heavenly Art, the Way of Nature of the Shrouding Heaven Realm, the Grand Nature Art, two of the Nine Secrets, numerous immortal laws of the Desolate Wilds Record Realm, the Black and White Diagram — all these great Dao divine abilities circulated and promoted together, finally pushing Fang Yu's lifespan and magic power to an unimaginable level.

Ordinary giants of the Longevity Secret Realm, such as Ruyi Zi, the three Fuzhang Sect, and Elder Tian Xing and the like — their lifespan is basically just over ten thousand years, at most eighteen or nineteen thousand years. If they don't break through to the next realm, they will die of old age.

And Fang Yu's current lifespan has reached a full one hundred thousand years — such a lifespan is even greater than that of ordinary Undying Body experts.

An ordinary Undying Body's lifespan is only about thirty-some thousand years; some Undying Body experts have lifespans of fifty to eighty thousand years, yet these Undying Body beings still don't have as much lifespan as Fang Yu.

As for strength, Fang Yu cultivated many great Daos, and with their combined blessing, his strength actually reached sixteen Ancient Heavenly Dragon powers. Such strength in the Longevity Secret Realm's Wan Shou realm is basically invincible.

Experts of the Longevity Secret Realm — their strength is basically measured in Ancient Heavenly Dragon powers. Even after cultivating for several thousand more years, gaining another half an Ancient Heavenly Dragon power is already considered quite good. Yet now Fang Yu's strength has reached sixteen Ancient Heavenly Dragon powers.

It looks like sixteen times the strength, but subtracting it out, it's truly fifteen more Ancient Heavenly Dragon powers. With such strength, basically any cultivator in the Longevity Secret Realm's Wan Shou realm can be instantly killed by him.

Indeed, he can instantly kill.

As the Xianjiezhi Sect in the sky gradually closed and this promotion gradually ended, Fang Yu's gaze casually swept toward the three Fuzhang Sect of the Yuhua Sect. Immediately, all three Fuzhang Sect felt an incomparably terrifying crisis, as if at that very moment they were being stared down by a primordial fierce beast, with a feeling that their lives could be lost at any moment.

This feeling was a great terror, a great crisis!
