Chapter 972: Shock! The Five Elements Land Has Disappeared!

Within Fang Yu's Eight Divisions Pagoda, there was a spirit talisman of the Five Elements Land.

This spirit talisman of the Five Elements Land possessed many mysteries, especially after Fang Yu's lower-grade Dao artifact, the spirit of a middle-grade Dao artifact, and the spirit of a top-grade Dao artifact continuously refined this spirit talisman with the Great Salvation Zen Light. The Buddhist light opened by the spirit talisman grew more and more, those wisps of Buddhist light, intense and brilliant, ring upon ring, as if countless Arhats were simultaneously praying and worshipping, causing people to take refuge, with Buddhist light filling every corner of the void.

This was the inherent might of the Five Elements Land spirit talisman; beyond this, Fang Yu could also, through the Five Elements spirit talisman, make use of the many holy beasts and divine beasts of the Five Elements Land.

With a slight movement of his mind, a tremendous surge of magic power seeped into the Five Elements Land spirit talisman. Then, deep in the boundless starry sky, on a mountain peak atop the Five Elements Land planet, an azure giant dragon that had cultivated to the Longevity Secret Realm ancient overlord level, the Yi Wood Azure Dragon, sensed danger. The moment it raised its head, a great hand descended from the void, gently pinched, and directly crushed it into endless Xu Yuan Qi. Through the Five Elements Land spirit talisman, it once again entered Fang Yu's Eight Divisions Pagoda, transforming into incomparably abundant power to refine the Eight Divisions Pagoda.

Fang Yu's Eight Divisions Pagoda was still at the level of a lower-grade Dao artifact. When it had just become a lower-grade Dao artifact, its power was thirty Long Zhili, and now that it had been refined to this day, it already possessed fifty Long Zhili, far more powerful than an ordinary Undying Body overlord.

An ordinary Wan Shou realm ancient overlord possessed power ranging from one to three Long Zhili.

An ordinary Undying Body overlord possessed power ranging from five to ten Long Zhili. If one cultivated certain great Dao Divine Abilities, many supreme Divine Abilities, then the Undying Body realm could reach a maximum of twenty Long Zhili.

As for existences like Fang Yu, who had cultivated many great Dao Divine Abilities, they could break through the ordinary Undying Body limit, reaching ninety-nine Long Zhili at the Undying Body realm, making it as simple as eating and drinking to blow away ordinary Undying Body realm experts.

And now, Fang Yu had painstakingly refined the lower-grade Dao artifact Eight Divisions Pagoda, bringing this lower-grade Dao artifact's power to the level of fifty Long Zhili. Such power could suppress the vast majority of Undying Body overlords.

Therefore, since Fang Yu had refined this lower-grade Dao artifact, he was naturally contemplating how to promote this lower-grade Dao artifact to the level of a middle-grade Dao artifact.

Just think—a lower-grade Dao artifact actually possessed fifty Long Zhili of power. If this Eight Divisions Pagoda were refined to a middle-grade Dao artifact, to what level would it rise, and how dense would the Eight Divisions True Dragon Qi it released become?

Therefore, whenever Fang Yu cultivated, he would capture many Five Elements holy beasts from the Five Elements Land to refine this lower-grade Dao artifact.

The Five Elements Land was absolutely a good place. Deep within the Five Elements Land were divine beasts comparable to Longevity Secret Realm overlords—things like Zhu Que, Xuan Wu, Qing Long, Bai Hu, Teng She. Once such holy beasts cultivated to the ancient overlord realm, their strength was extremely terrifying. Anyone who entered their territory to explore would surely be on a path to death, but against the current Fang Yu, an existence of the Cave Heaven realm, they had no power to resist at all.

Fang Yu almost instantaneously slew dozens of Five Elements Land holy beasts, and sealed away several hundred Longevity Secret Realm Five Elements holy beasts for use as needed.

If he wished, he could seal a Bai Hu that had cultivated to the Longevity Secret Realm into a magic treasure, refine it for some days, and this magic treasure could be refined into a lower-grade Dao artifact.

In those years, the Hate Heaven Divine Emperor had a lower-grade Dao artifact called the Earth-Piercing Divine Needle. It was made by this overlord finding a Longevity Secret Realm Teng She, refining it for many years, melting countless heaven and earth treasures into it, and finally achieving a lower-grade Dao artifact. With a casual tap, the earth would crack open layer by layer, allowing him to enter the underground to seek out many treasures.

At Fang Yu's current realm, he could also completely use these powerful holy beasts as artifact spirits to refine one lower-grade Dao artifact after another. Such a refining speed would be much faster than waiting for treasures to nurture artifact spirits.

While Fang Yu was daily capturing these holy beasts, at the location of the Five Elements Land, endless demonic Qi surged skyward, and a terrifying aura that could shake the nine heavens and ten earths erupted from the Five Elements Land. Fang Yu's spiritual sense saw that within this planet, the kindly old man in a yellow robe he had once seen erupted with boundless demonic Qi. With a grab of his great hand, the entire Five Elements Land was shrinking.

That's right, the power of the entire planet was continuously shrinking!

How large was a Five Elements Land? It was far, far larger than some stars outside the Xuanhuang Great World—such as the Ziwei Star, Longmu Star, Jidu Star, Goulou Star, and so on—and far, far larger than the Taihuntian's 108,000-li Primordial World. Countless Five Elements demon beasts existed upon it; casually there were over a million fire crows and tree giants, rampaging across this planet.

When Fang Yu had sought the Kunpeng Nest in the Perfect World that day, he had seen over a million Fire Flame Fish. Even a Reverent would not dare offend such a million Fire Flame Fish, but such millions of Five Elements demon beasts appearing was a small scene in the Five Elements Land.

The Five Elements Land was far, far too vast, supporting countless demon beasts—millions of demon beasts, many Golden Core Realm holy beasts, and even existences comparable to the Longevity Secret Realm.

But now this entire planet was continuously shrinking under the magic power of the Chi Yuan Demon Venerable. Even outside the Five Elements Land, Fang Yu sensed some terrifying demonic Qi. It seemed the changes in the Five Elements Land involved not only the Chi Yuan Demon Venerable's intervention, but also other Demon Venerables acting.

And just as Fang Yu perceived this change, the gaze of the Chi Yuan Demon Venerable penetrated through layers upon layers of time and space to look over. He immediately saw Fang Yu of the Exalted Linglong Paradise, saw Fang Yu seated below the Rourou Xianzun, and a kindly expression appeared on his face.

"Little friend, this Five Elements Land was originally intended to be left for you, but now plans have changed. This old Daoist must take back this Five Elements Land and refine it into a Top-Grade Dao artifact that suppresses all heavens, to go to the Wuji Great World to handle some matters. Thus, I see your cultivation base has already reached the Longevity Third Cave Heaven realm, and you are in need of countless heavenly demons to worship you. I shall give you one hundred million heavenly demons to worship you. When your cultivation base reaches a higher realm, I shall give you another three hundred eighty million heavenly demons."

That terrifying Demon Venerable whose cultivation base shook the past and present sensed Fang Yu's spiritual sense, waved his hand, and sent over a black orb of light. This orb of light was directly received by Fang Yu's spiritual sense and brought into the Eight Divisions Pagoda. Suddenly, within Fang Yu's Eight Divisions Pagoda, there were instantly an additional one hundred million heavenly demons!

That's right, one hundred million!

Among these one hundred million heavenly demons, there were one million Heavenly Demon Kings. The majority of the heavenly demons had cultivated to the 5th Stage of Divine Abilities Heavenly Man Realm Heavenly Demon Kings, and some heavenly demons had even cultivated to the 7th Stage of Divine Abilities Golden Core Realm. However, the Golden Cores of these heavenly demons did not contain many Divine Abilities—basically only five types of Five Elements Divine Abilities. Of course, there were exceptions among the heavenly demons who had cultivated over ten types of Divine Abilities, seemingly having once gone out, slain cultivators who came to the Five Elements Land, and obtained those cultivators' Divine Abilities.

Among these one hundred million heavenly demons, there were also heavenly demon emperors who had cultivated to the Longevity Secret Realm, though not many—only ten.

Ten Heavenly Demon Emperors, one million Heavenly Demon Kings, and as for the rest, all were heavenly demons.

"Many thanks, Senior!"

Fang Yu, witnessing such a scene, expressed his gratitude through his spiritual sense.

Only, looking at how his Eight Divisions Pagoda was now completely filled with heavenly demons, he did not know how to describe his mood.

Because at that very next moment, Fang Yu perceived that the entire Five Elements Land had truly completely vanished, refined by the Chi Yuan Demon Venerable into a Top-Grade Dao artifact. From then on, he could no longer use the Five Elements Land's Five Elements holy beasts to refine his magic treasures, and his Five Elements spirit talisman lost one of its functions, unable to directly reach the Xuanhuang Great World from the Kanlishen Sect through the Five Elements spirit talisman.

What he had now was one hundred million heavenly demons—a gift from the senior Chi Yuan Demon Venerable used to "compensate" him.

One hundred million heavenly demons, with one million Heavenly Demon Kings of the Divine Ability Secret Realm—more than the Divine Ability Secret Realm disciples of the Yuhua Sect, and more than the Divine Ability Secret Realm disciples of many Xiandao Sect Sect in the Xuanhuang Great World.

If Fang Yu now decided to found the eleventh Xiandao Sect, the Divine Ability Secret Realm disciples under him could immediately rank in the top three, and could even contend for the top two.

Of course, wanting to found a Xiandao Sect Sect with one million Heavenly Demon Kings under his command did not sound like an orthodox Xiandao Sect Sect.

"Three Thousand Great Daos, Great Domination Art! Great Soul Art!"

Seeing that his Eight Divisions Pagoda had instantly gained an additional one hundred million heavenly demons, Fang Yu did not delay. At the next moment, he manifested two peerless great Dao Divine Abilities: the Three Thousand Great Daos Great Domination Art and the Great Soul Art.

The aura of domination, lofty above all, dominating all Xu Yuan Qi, commanding all living beings. No matter which Heavenly Demon King, at this moment a thought rose in their hearts—that Fang Yu was their emperor, their sovereign, and they were the loyal ministers of this Immortal Venerable, Fang Yu, who must do their utmost to assist Immortal Venerable Fang Yu, and when necessary could even dedicate their lives!

Instantly, all the Heavenly Demon Kings expressed worship toward Fang Yu. Even the Heavenly Demon Emperors, under the impact of the Great Domination Art and the Great Soul Art, all expressed submission to Fang Yu.

Seeing such a scene, Fang Yu directly sent the one million Heavenly Demon Kings into his Cave Heaven Paradise to worship him, while those ordinary heavenly demons remained within the Eight Divisions Pagoda, contributing their power to this supreme treasure, the Eight Divisions Pagoda.

After completing all this, Fang Yu once again activated the Five Elements Land spirit talisman, and felt that the passage of this spirit talisman to the Five Elements Land had truly been severed. Henceforth, he had lost one path home.

However, at his current realm, he could directly perform a Great Spatial Shift to return to the Xuanhuang Great World, and did not necessarily have to rely on the Five Elements Land spirit talisman.

Once one's cultivation base reached his current realm, the might of each of the Three Thousand Great Daos greatly increased. Like the Three Thousand Great Daos Great Shift Art—now when he activated it, in an instant he could traverse many parallel spaces, evade countless space-time storms, and go directly from the Exalted Linglong Paradise to the extraterritorial lands.

A great Dao Divine Ability like the Great Shift Art indeed could only display its might after reaching Longevity Third, increasing by hundreds, even tens of thousands of times in speed.

"The Chi Yuan Demon Venerable refined the Five Elements Land planet into a Top-Grade Dao artifact, saying he was going to the Wuji Great World to take a look. It seems the calamity of the Wuji Great World is about to arrive. This great world must have been targeted by many overlords. It's time for me to go get a share of the spoils."

Fang Yu pondered the Chi Yuan Demon Venerable's words, knowing the Wuji Great World was about to face a major calamity. The first to bear the brunt was, of course, the Wuji Star Palace. This great world was very close to the Xuanhuang Great World and had once coveted the Xuanhuang Great World, dispatching their Holy Maiden—an existence of the Void Immortal Realm—to come stir up trouble in the Xuanhuang Great World. As a result, she encountered Feng Feng Baiyu, who at the time was only at the Undying Body realm. No one knew exactly what happened back then, but after some time, this Holy Maiden of the Wuji Star Palace became pregnant with Feng Feng Baiyu's daughter and gave birth to Feng Yaoguang.

The Wuji Star Palace suffered the loss of their Lady and the damage to their troops—the Holy Maiden became a person of the Xuanhuang Great World. Even more terrifying was that this Holy Maiden had tampered with the Wuji Star Palace's immortal artifact, the Primordial Wuji Diagram, causing the Wuji Star Palace's sect-suppressing immortal artifact to be half-ruined, lying dormant for several thousand years.

As for what happened later, everyone also knew—this Holy Maiden was imprisoned and confined by the Wuji Star Palace, and Feng Yaoguang constantly thought about going to the Wuji Star Palace to rescue her mother. To this end, after reaching the Golden Core Realm, she left the Yuhua Sect and went to the Chaos Continent to establish a career, though the distance to rescuing her mother was still very far.

And now, it seemed one existence after another was about to make a move against the Wuji Star Palace.

The aura of great calamity grew ever thicker. The matter of the eighty billion Divine Race invading the Xuanhuang Great World, although not raised by any single Xiandao Sect Sect or Modaomen Sect, almost all the overlords within every sect had performed some divination, calculating this great calamity about to sweep the world. Thus, means that could not be employed in past years could now be employed in the coming days; things that could not be done in past years might be done in the coming days.

This had nothing to do with righteousness, but with survival.

Once one was not ruthless, one would face the complete death of the entire Zhenggemen Sect.

"Calamity, calamity."

Fang Yu pondered these many matters, his gaze looking toward a not-far distance. There, the Rourou Xianzun seemed to have sensed some changes occurring within Fang Yu's body, her gaze flowing over as she opened her mouth to say: "What is Dao Friend thinking about?"

Fang Yu's mind stirred slightly, and he opened his mouth to say: "How to live better."

"Mm, to live better?"

A peculiar expression appeared on the Rourou Xianzun's face. She thought for a moment: "If Dao Friend ever wishes to join my Exalted Linglong Paradise, I shall say a word to Feng Feng Baiyu. If you join my Exalted Linglong Paradise, you will surely be able to live better."
