Fang Han brewed a powerful killing intent. The tens of thousands of treasure artifacts within his Eight Buddhist Pagodas condensed into one, possessing a destructive power that surpassed even the Yellow Springs Diagram. Using the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash, he arrived before Daoist Mu in an instant.
Golden light flickered as a giant pagoda the size of a mountain peak suppressed down. The Sun and Moon Essence Wheel appeared like an extra sun and moon in the sky. The Buddhist chant of the Six-Character True Mantra was recalled.
At this moment, the Eight Buddhist Pagodas erupted with brilliant golden light. The thousand-zhang mountain peak where Daoist Mu stood instantly turned to ashes.
"Ah!" Caught off guard, many of Daoist Mu's protective magic treasures were shattered, and he suffered some injuries. Only then did he launch a counterattack.
"Pure Yang Heavenly Heart Righteous Law Divine Thunder!" he shouted. Green Qi shot from his pores, transforming into countless bolts of lightning. Thunder rumbled, and all the trees within several thousand li were shattered.
Even the Eight Buddhist Pagodas trembled slightly under his full-force strike.
"Kill!" The other primeval giant, Daoist Dragon, also attacked. His body swayed, and his World Law Phase—a creature with two wings resembling both a bird and a beast—flew out.
"Come!" Seeing this, Fang Han's Golden Core erupted. He threw a punch that contained nearly a hundred divine abilities. Protective auras condensed into armor, and he looked like a God of Slaughter.
He unleashed a punch, directly fighting the two primeval giants to a standstill. He then used the Great Devouring Technique, instantly devouring the residual energy of their attacks and refining it into his own power.
Fighting to sustain the fight. After several rounds, his strength grew stronger and stronger, while Daoist Mu and Daoist Dragon grew more alarmed.
"Damn it, I can't break free," Daoist Dragon let out an unwilling sound. He was completely entangled by the three artifact spirits of the Eight Buddhist Pagodas; the combined power of the three Medium-Grade Dao Artifacts was astonishing.
And Fang Han was pressing Daoist Mu. The two primeval giants were now completely at a disadvantage. It was one thing to be suppressed by someone undergoing the Wind and Fire Tribulation, but to have fewer treasures than them was another.
Neither of them owned a Medium-Grade Dao Artifact. Fang Han, however, had three, in addition to two High-Grade ones.
Fang Han used the Eight Buddhist Pagodas to trap Daoist Dragon, preventing the two from joining forces, and then fully concentrated on eliminating Daoist Mu. Daoist Mu was a divine wood that had cultivated into a spirit, and Fang Han cultivated the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art, the emperor of all wood attributes. Therefore, Daoist Mu was naturally suppressed.
"Great Severing Technique! Five Emperors Great Demon! Great Sumeru Mountain King Fist! Slaughter Immortals and Destroy Gods, Kill!" He started with a big move, and then it was just big moves continuously.
He even used a divine ability that sacrificed 60 years of his lifespan for powerful explosive force. He didn't care; he currently had over 9,000 years of lifespan and could use it over a hundred times.
The sky was dark, as if shattered by his punch. Amidst the endless blood rain, he launched another. Daoist Mu's protective aura instantly shattered, and he was sent flying, spitting out blood. Fortunately, he wore his only Low-Grade Dao Artifact, otherwise, he would have been killed directly.
However, his Dao Artifact was also shattered.
"Fang Han, you actually cultivated such a vicious demonic technique?" Daoist Mu spoke in shock.
"Idiot, I have the legacy of the Great Emperor of Yellow Springs. What demonic technique am I cultivating?" Fang Han was almost speechless.
Amidst Daoist Mu's shocked exclamations, he once again used the Immortal Slaying, God Killing Secret Art, losing another 60 years of lifespan, and then another 60. Blood rain poured down as he transformed into dozens of shadows, each possessing the power of hundreds of millions of galloping warhorses.
This was a killing blow.
Daoist Mu knew escape was futile and intended to make a final desperate stand. Blood flew everywhere. He stepped with dragon-like strides, condensing various divine abilities and unleashing palm after palm.
The two constantly exchanged positions, clashing millions of times in just over ten breaths. After the confrontation, they separated. In a blink of an eye, Daoist Mu's body exploded into countless pieces of flesh. He had been directly blown apart.
Fang Han's body was also blown apart, but his head remained intact. Under the repair of the World Tree, he instantly recovered.
"Great Devouring Technique!" He used it, instantly devouring all of Daoist Mu's origin Qi. The Yellow Springs Diagram suppressed his remaining World Law Phase.
"Haha, Fang Han, we've suppressed a primeval giant," Yan roared with laughter. In the cultivation world, a primeval giant was a myth, supreme and unattainable. That Fang Han could suppress one was a myth in itself.
However, such an outcome was normal. His accumulation was terrifying, and he had numerous Dao Artifacts and life-threatening methods.
He looked towards Daoist Dragon and charged.
"What, Daoist Mu was suppressed?" Daoist Dragon knew immediately. Filled with emotion, he went all out. He used the Blood Burst technique, and his two arms transformed into blood dragons that broke open the Eight Buddhist Pagodas. In a blink of an eye, he disappeared.
"So decisive?" Fang Han was stunned. The move cost Daoist Dragon at least half of his essence blood. He truly couldn't catch up. "If you hadn't fled and instead fought me to the death, you might have had a chance. Now, there will be no chance at all."
After suppressing Daoist Mu, his own condition wasn't very good. It was a pity Daoist Dragon ran away.
"Once I absorb Daoist Mu's essence Qi and seal his 64 innate divine abilities into the Eight Buddhist Pagodas, my strength will increase, and so will the pagodas' power. Wonderful!"
He shot a stream of Earth Emperor Protective Aura into the ground and sank into the earth, arriving tens of thousands of li underground to cultivate.
"In the original plot, the Heart Demon Elder helped me weaken them. But now I have directly suppressed a full-powered Daoist Mu." He pondered whether to seek out the Heart Demon Elder. The Great Heart Demon Technique was extremely terrifying; cultivated to its highest realm, it was virtually immortal and indestructible.
"My goal is the same as his: to seek the Three Thousand Great Daos. I can still get to know him."
After thinking for a moment, he began refining Daoist Mu. The origin Qi of Longevity Realm experts was all pure yang Qi, a great tonic.
The Great Devouring Technique was instantly unleashed. Vast pure yang Qi poured into his Golden Core, and it emitted a dazzling light. A faint phantom gradually formed in the void. It was thousands of zhang tall, with countless hands and eyes.
Thousand-Hand, Thousand-Eyed, World Law Phase. This was the nascent form.
In the original work, he also condensed a similar law phase, also known as Thousand-Hand Tathagata, Thousand-Eyed Saint Demon, representing the Three Thousand Great Daos.
The formation of the World Law Phase was related to the divine abilities one cultivated. He had too many complex ones. He didn't have many of the Three Thousand Great Daos yet, only the Great Severing Technique, Great Five Elements Technique, Great Origin Technique, Great Salvation Technique, and Great Devouring Technique.
The Great Salvation Technique possessed supreme power, capable of instantly dispelling hatred, but its practicality for the group was not high.
…
"After breaking through, I'll go find Yan Shuiyi for the complete Great Origin Technique."
"Besides that, I can also scheme for the Great Seal Technique and Great Teleportation Technique from Hatred Heaven Daoist."
"If I can also find the Heart Demon Elder and learn the Great Heart Demon Technique, that would be even better."
Endless essence Qi poured into his body. If he could break through to the World Law Phase, his strength would advance another step. At that time, he could scheme for even greater opportunities.
First and foremost, the complete version of the Great Origin Technique. Then, the other Three Thousand Great Daos. And especially the Human Emperor's Brush. That was the greatest opportunity, containing three hundred Great Daos.
