Chapter 992

"Wuwangtian Sect? I don't think I've heard of it."

Whether it was Fang Yu, Fang Han, or Prince Yi, Prince Zhan and the others, none of them had heard of this sect, but this was normal—this sect might have existed for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, hidden within this secret realm. If not for this chance encounter, it truly would have been hard to discover.

"Wuwangtian Sect, what exactly happened? Where did all the people of this ancient sect go?"

Fang Han's gaze turned toward that Spirit Medicine King, somewhat curious about the past.

"Wuwangtian Sect has already existed for fifty thousand years. Back then, this mountain peak was called Guiwang Peak, and its master was called the Lord of Guiwang Peak. His cultivation base was extremely high, and he had many, many disciples. But one day, after hearing an extremely piercing sound of drums, he took all his disciples and left, and from then on, he never returned. The spirit medicines we had here grew old and died, and I was born afterward."

This Spirit Medicine King, who had cultivated to the realm of the 9th Stage of Divine Abilities, Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, told Fang Yu some things about the past. He could sense Fang Yu's terror, that a casual move could extinguish his life, so now he told Fang Yu the whole story from beginning to end.

Wuwangtian Sect was a major sect of the Yellow Great World in bygone eras, existing as early as fifty thousand years ago. This sect was full of experts—even the peak master of Guiwang Peak here was a supreme titan of the Longevity Secret Realm, and many of his disciples had advanced to become eternal titans. But a great battle occurred ten thousand years ago, and after the battle, none of the titans or disciples ever returned.

"Could it be that the calamity of the Divine Race caused this great sect to wither away…"

Fang Yu did know that the Divine Race invaded the Yellow Great World every ten thousand years, which would provoke resistance from all the experts of the entire Yellow Great World. The entire Wuwangtian Sect had likely all perished resisting the great calamity of the Divine Race.

During the previous ten thousand years, the Yuhua Sect also paid an extremely tragic price to resist the invasion of the Divine Race.

The Yuhua Sect of ten thousand years ago had existences at the Immortal Realm, and within the sect was an immortal artifact that could establish contact with the Yuhua Sect of the immortal realm. Its strength was tremendous, far greater than the current Weitaiyi Sect. But after the great calamity of the Divine Race, the heavenly immortal of the Yuhua Sect died in battle, and the immortal artifact used to contact the immortal realm's Yuhua Sect was crippled, never able to contact the immortal realm again. From then on, the Yuhua Sect was suppressed by the Weitaiyi Sect and could only linger on in a wretched state.

After one great battle, the Yuhua Sect lost its heavenly immortal old antique, and its immortal artifact was crippled. After that, the highest combat power of the Yuhua Sect was Wu Mingkong at the 8th Stage of Longevity, Mixed Hole Realm. Though this existence was powerful, he could no longer compare to the Weitaiyi Sect.

Because the Weitaiyi Sect did not suffer heavy casualties in that calamity of the Divine Race. After the great calamity, it still had one true immortal and two void immortals, and more critically, the Weitaiyi Sect's immortal artifact was undamaged.

With the Weitaiyi Sect's one true immortal, two void immortals, and one immortal artifact, compared to the Yuhua Sect's highest combat power of the 8th Stage of Longevity, Mixed Hole Realm, one could well imagine the Yuhua Sect's days.

If not for the Weitaiyi Sect courting death and triggering the calamity of Linglong, the Yellow Great World today would probably already be the Weitaiyi Sect's domain.

"Wuwangtian Sect, if fate allows it in the future, I will tell your deeds to those who come after."

Fang Yu listened to the Spirit Medicine King recounting the events of bygone years, then directly sent this Spirit Medicine King into his own Cave Heaven Blessed Land, letting it cultivate within. Then he stepped forward directly, heading toward the highest point of this Lord of Guiwang Peak.

Atop Guiwang Peak was a massive palace, somewhat similar in structure to Fang Yu's Yu Peak.

At the highest point of his Yu Peak was also a palace—that was his own alchemy room.

Logically speaking, there should be some good treasures in an alchemy room, though of course the most important treasures definitely wouldn't be in the alchemy room.

In Fang Yu's alchemy room was a Top-Grade treasure furnace. Naturally, Fang Yu no longer had use for it, but other true disciples of Yu Peak could still occasionally use this furnace.

As for good things like Fang Yu's Eight Divisions Pagoda and Chaos Tower, they wouldn't be placed in the alchemy room, but would definitely be carried on his person to enhance his combat power.

"This alchemy room…"

As Fang Yu stepped forward toward the alchemy room atop Guiwang Peak, a massive storm suddenly appeared in the void, as if the prohibition formation of the alchemy room had been triggered. One could see dense spatial laws everywhere, like axes and swords, cutting across in all directions. Any such casual strike could shred the physical body of an Undying Body to pieces, and could even tear apart the cave heaven of an ordinary Cave Heaven Realm expert.

Within that violent spatial law, chains also appeared one after another. Those chains writhed like dragons and snakes, weaving ceaselessly through the air, and any casual strike could slay a titan of the Longevity Secret Realm.

Prince Yi's face changed drastically. He sensed something was very wrong. He had originally broken through to the Longevity Secret Realm's Wan Shou realm, the most talented among the many Imperial Princes, but now he felt extremely weak, as if any random prohibition formation in this secret realm could kill an eternal titan like him.

Did he still have any dignity as an eternal titan?

It seemed he did not.

He saw those chains very clearly, but when the chains truly came for him, he found he seemed to have no power to resist, and could only watch helplessly as he was blown apart!

But just at this moment, Fang Yu directly summoned his Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

No matter how violent the spatial power, when it struck Fang Yu's body, it vanished, as if blocked and absorbed.

One could see that within Fang Yu's Cave Heaven Blessed Land, the power of the Great Five Elements Art and the Great Yin-Yang Art circulated. Five-colored divine light and the light of yin and yang formed a solid, invincible outer shell within Fang Yu's cave heaven. No spatial storm that came could breach this defense.

Many great Dao divine abilities flowed. The Great Chaos Art, outside Fang Yu's cave heaven, also faintly formed a halo of chaotic light. Within this chaotic light, black holes appeared from time to time, emitting terrifying attraction and devouring force.

That was the Great Devouring Art of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

Within the cave heaven, many great Dao divine abilities circulated, especially the Great World Art and the Great Severing Art, which continuously drew in the spatial laws and spatial chains from outside, transforming them into order chains within his cave heaven, making this cave heaven even more solid.

Solid.

No matter who saw Fang Yu's Cave Heaven Blessed Land, they would feel that Fang Yu's Cave Heaven Blessed Land was extremely solid, giving one an unimaginable sense of security.

At this moment, Fang Yu stepped forward, continuously absorbing the spatial divine laws atop Guiwang Peak. He felt as if he were devouring the spatial laws of a Cave Heaven Realm expert every moment, transforming them into his own cave heaven power, making the spatial laws within his cave heaven increasingly powerful.

Wooooo, wooooo…

Suddenly, countless rays of light twisted, revealing a bizarre and fantastical world.

The power of time began to appear.

Fang Yu's expression immediately changed slightly. He felt a ray of light seeping toward his Cave Heaven Blessed Land, as if about to shine in and break through the defenses of the Great Five Elements Art, the Great Yin-Yang Art, the Great Chaos Art, the Great Devouring Art, and all other great Dao divine abilities, descending overwhelmingly.

Immediately, he felt his lifespan begin to drain away in great quantities, and his vitality also began to decline.

This was the phenomenon of the passage of time laws—once it shone over, it caused Fang Yu's lifespan to begin decreasing.

"The power of time is truly wondrous…"

Fang Yu felt that after his Cave Heaven Blessed Land was illuminated by this light, his lifespan decreased by one Jiazi in the span of a single breath!

This was not an illusion, but the manifestation of the time divine laws here shining upon him.

This indicated that the Lord of Guiwang Peak's cultivation base had at least reached the 4th Stage of Longevity, Chrono Light Realm, and was even higher than the Chrono Light Realm, because without enough Pure Yang Pills, even a Chrono Light Realm expert could not make the flow of time here so rapid.

At this moment, Fang Yu directly summoned the Chaos Tower. Over a hundred million Pure Yang Pills burned, and immediately many rays of light also appeared within the Chaos Tower, altering the flow of time in the void around Fang Yu.

Two different time divine laws collided, erupting with terrifying sparks.

If such sparks accidentally fell upon a cultivator of the Physical Body Secret Realm, that cultivator would turn into a pile of withered bones in an instant.

Terrifying.

There was great terror here.

Prince Yi, Prince Zhan, Prince Sa and the others watched in utter shock as more and more rays of light appeared ahead. Those rays of light, once they shone upon their bodies, would certainly mean their demise. Fortunately, with Great Dao Fang Yu present, they were able to enter safely.

"Without a High-Grade Dao artifact, entering here is just seeking death."

Beside Fang Yu, Fang Han also clicked his tongue in wonder.

Now, as they went deeper into that void, rays of light were everywhere. If all these rays of light shone over at once and they failed to block them, basically over ten thousand years of lifespan would be gone in an instant.

One ray of light reduced lifespan by sixty years, and the rays of light here were densely packed. Even an Undying Body expert without a High-Grade Dao artifact would have over ten thousand years of lifespan shaved off in an instant, dying a sudden death in a few moments.

This place contained a great deadly peril!

"Time and space, time and space. Having comprehended the laws of time, for a cultivator who has only comprehended the laws of cave heaven, it is truly a direct crushing!"

As Fang Yu advanced, many insights welled up within him. Sheltered beneath the Chaos Tower, he watched those rays of light up close. In others' eyes they were mere beams of light, but in his they were something different — a supreme law, the Law of Time, the Divine Rule of Time. Once he comprehended it, he could cultivate to the 4th Stage of Longevity, the Aurora Realm!

Just as Fang Yu pressed deeper — whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

From outside Guiwang Peak, many figures flew in, powerful auras radiating outward. These experts each wore armor resembling bone spurs, extremely ferocious, emanating an aura of exterminating all things. At a glance they were not cultivators of the Dao of Immortals, but practitioners of the Demonic Path.

The experts of the Tianjuemo Sect, the Mo Sect backing the Daqian Dynasty, had arrived!

The weakest among them was already a titan of the Wan Shou realm of the Longevity Secret Realm.

When these experts arrived before the light barrier, suddenly a flash of light pierced the void and enveloped a middle-aged man at the Wan Shou realm of the Longevity Secret Realm. In an instant that middle-aged man's powerful frame became hunched, his jet-black hair turned white as snow, his skin wrinkled and withered.

A moment later, he let out a wretched shriek and turned to ash.

In the blink of an eye, an eternal titan of the Wan Shou realm died an unnatural death!

"Damnable! This is the power of the passage of time — we cannot touch it. It directly erodes one's lifespan. Only a High-Grade Dao Weapon or a Supreme-Grade Dao Weapon can withstand it. High-Grade Dao Weapon — Mang Yuan Ni Armor, emerge!"

One expert, also clad in bone-spur armor, the highest in status and strongest in cultivation among the group, stepped forward. In his hand appeared an even more powerful suit of bone-spur armor. Vast Pure Yang force erupted from this strongest expert's body and surged into the armor, and instantly the armor too manifested layer upon layer of law-power, blocking the light of time's passage.

"We shall enter the Mang Yuan Ni Armor together and seize the treasure!"

With a great roar from this strongest expert, all the experts entered the High-Grade Dao Weapon armor and charged into the light.

After a short while, many more experts flew over one after another. Each of them radiated powerful demonic energy, and the leaders were men and women of extremely strong demonic energy and incomparably handsome features — clearly figures of the highest nobility among the demon race.

The ornate canopy above their heads was actually a High-Grade Dao Weapon canopy. Upon this canopy were carved countless demon gods, each demon god vividly lifelike, as if about to leap forth from the canopy — some with three heads and six arms, some with twin wings on their backs, some treading twin dragons, some with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes.

"Hmph. Do the Elders of the Great Xuan Empire think their movements can escape the notice of our Underground Demon Race? Impossible! Since this is an underground matter, we must certainly claim a share — no, take it all! What Great Xuan Empire, what Tianjuemo Sect, what Huangquanmo Sect — none of them shall be allowed!"

The leader, a young man so handsome it was almost absurd, spoke, and as he did, powerful spiritual fluctuations spread in all directions. Endless demonic energy gathered around him, forming jet-black demonic dragons with twin wings on their backs, spewing demonic flame from their mouths.

This was unmistakably the supreme divine ability of the Underground Demon Race — the "Demonic Dragon Dao."

At this moment, this supreme divine ability was casually wielded by the young man, manifesting over ten demonic dragons. This signified that his cultivation base had already reached the 2nd Stage of Longevity, the Immortal Body realm. Each demonic dragon possessed the power of a Primeval Heavenly Dragon.

"Yes, Lord Chibei, these damned demon-men, these humans, actually dare to excavate treasure underground. All underground treasure must belong to our Underground Demon Race. Whoever wants it must be slaughtered without exception!"

Another member of the Underground Demon Race spoke, rolling demonic energy flowing as he talked.

"Your Highness, be careful. The light here can strip away one's lifespan. We must raise the Thousand Demon God Canopy to stop the light's erosion. That fool from the Tianjuemo Sect died right here beneath the light of time!"

Beside the young man, so handsome it was almost absurd, stood an elder in a robe of jet-black cloth embroidered with countless devils. He was tall and thin, his complexion deathly pale as a corpse. His hands were hidden within his sleeves, but one could faintly see that his fingernails were extremely long, each one like a sword, as if a casual flick could claim another's life.

"Uncle Wen, with you here, what do I have to worry about? Of course we must contest for the treasures here immediately!"

The young "Lord Chibei" spoke, and his group likewise entered the restrictive formation before them to seize the benefits.

And just after these people entered the Secret Realm, more cultivators in Daoist robes arrived. Most were experts of the Longevity Secret Realm, with some disciples at the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th Stages of Divine Abilities. They were actually experts of the Yiyuan Sect, one of the Xiandaoshi Sect — they too had somehow learned of this Secret Realm and arrived here.

"There really are a lot of people…"

With a single flash, Fang Yu finally reached the pill chamber. However, as his divine sense swept around, he saw many latecomers.
