Upon hearing these words, Yan Shuiyi's expression became slightly serious. A public enemy of both the Immortal and Demonic Dao?
She quickly composed herself. Several people entered the palace, and a towering figure, several heads taller than an ordinary person, appeared before them. Origin Qi surged around him; he was clearly an ancient giant.
"I am a cultivator from outside this realm, Hatred Heavenly Daoist," the person smiled. "My seven subordinates were killed by Fang Han. I spent a great deal of effort deducing the truth, which is why I came to the Xuanhuang Great World to kill this child."
He then asked Yan Shuiyi, "Miss Yan Shuiyi, have you heard any news?"
She nodded. "Fang Han has not yet returned to the Feathered Ascension Sect. This is our chance to intercept him."
Fang Han also spoke from the side, "According to the Six Dao Alliance, he is most likely hidden in two places: the Grand Origin Immortal Mansion, or deep underground in a place called Demon Sealing Ridge."
The Human Emperor's Brush was in Demon Sealing Ridge. It had its cultivation level reduced by the God Race in an ancient war. This Hatred Heavenly God Emperor was a member of the God Race. When they meet, it will certainly be like old enemies meeting.
Although the God Emperor only displayed the strength of the Longevity Realm, Fang Han knew his power was extraordinary. He had hidden his strength and mastered the Great Seal, Great Teleportation, and Great Curse Arts. Even if Fang Han himself had broken through, he might not be his opponent.
Letting him and the Human Emperor's Brush fight to mutual destruction would be the best outcome, he thought.
"Underground, Demon Sealing Ridge?" Hatred Heavenly God Emperor and Fan Qingying were stunned, having never heard of it.
Yan Shuiyi cooperated perfectly with Fang Han's scheme. "We don't know the exact location either. We still need to investigate. However, if he is hidden deep underground, we might find it difficult to locate him. I wonder if Senior Hatred Heavenly has this ability?"
The two, in perfect coordination, drew his attention to Demon Sealing Ridge.
"Where is it? Let's go now!" Hatred Heavenly God Emperor indeed fell for it. "No wonder so many failed to kill him; it turns out he hid deep underground. You don't need to worry. I have a specialized Dao Artifact that can open up earth veins. Finding his trace will be no problem."
"Since Senior has such a magic treasure, let's depart," Fang Han took over.
Hatred Heavenly God Emperor called a few of his subordinates to follow, then looked at the two again. "I don't care about the rewards from the Grand One Sect. You two can take them. I only want Fang Han's head."
"For our first meeting, allow me to present you with some gifts." With a wave of his hand, he gave them each a crystal card worth 100 million medicinal pills, showing his immense wealth.
After a slight refusal, they accepted.
"You two have not yet cultivated to the Longevity Secret Realm, so your speed is a bit slow," he continued. "I have cultivated a supreme divine ability, the Great Teleportation Art, which can cover tens of thousands of miles in an instant. I will take you with me."
The Great Teleportation Art was one of the Three Thousand Great Daos, known as the fastest in all the heavens.
"You two, circulate your cultivation technique to protect your bodies. I will take you through a void teleportation." With a flick of his sleeve, a current of Qi enveloped them. Fang Han felt his body enduring extreme pressure.
"This Great Teleportation Art is truly formidable," he thought. The chat group had many speed-related techniques, but compared to this one, they all paled. "I must get my hands on this."
As he was making his plans, Hatred Heavenly God Emperor also noticed him. This child is so formidable? He doesn't even budge under the Qi flow. What a terrifying physical body. However, Yan Shuiyi is engaged… yet she is so close to this person. Hua Tian Du's head won't be green, will it? Even the most powerful people enjoy gossip.
…
After only a few breaths, the world became clear. He had brought them from the sea to a continuous mountain range near Demon Sealing Ridge.
"Demon Sealing Ridge is right there," Fang Han reported. There was an extremely dense wood Qi, with the Qi of plants condensing into illusions.
Seeing this, the others immediately believed him. The wood spirit Qi was so dense, it must have been caused by Fang Han, who cultivated the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xiao Yan Yao, the news is correct. I'll go underground to find him," Hatred Heavenly God Emperor said, waving his hand as a yellowish divine needle appeared in his palm. He pointed it at the ground, which completely collapsed.
Several people fell with it, instantly entering the depths of the earth veins, arriving tens of thousands of feet underground.
"Fang Han, you're not planning to deal with this person, are you?" Yan Shuiyi cautiously transmitted a subtle divine thought. "His cultivation is definitely not as simple as the Longevity Realm."
"I have my own plans. I still need you to assist me in cultivation. I won't trick you," he transmitted back.
"Fang Han is definitely lurking here. The wood spirit Qi is too dense, carrying the aura of the Azure Emperor Wood Emperor Art," Hatred Heavenly God Emperor said, his eyes lit up as they delved deeper. "Everyone be careful."
Hearing his words, everyone sacrificed their treasures. After walking a bit further, they arrived at the underground magma. In the purgatory of fire, an incomparably massive, crystal-clear mountain appeared, lying horizontally and absorbing all the fire Qi.
Fang Han knew this was the Human Emperor's Brush.
Yan Shuiyi and the others did not recognize it, but Hatred Heavenly God Emperor did immediately. "It's actually this magic treasure! The Human Emperor's Brush that killed countless experts of my race in ancient times! Fang Han and everything else doesn't matter anymore. If I can subdue it, my status within my race will increase by countless times!"
"Come out, Hatred Heavenly Compass!" Just as Fang Han thought, the moment he saw it, he made his move. A huge compass, a High-Grade Dao Artifact, appeared above his head.
At that moment, Yan Shuiyi quickly moved closer to Fang Han, having confirmed that the Daoist was a member of the God Race—the enemy of all races.
"Fang Han, what are you doing? Are you going to deal with the God Race?" she transmitted silently.
He directly took her hand. "Didn't you want to know how I cultivated that half-immortal body? It was from the origin of a God King. Take down those few under him, seize their origin, and you can possess a half-immortal body."
The moment they held hands, their magical powers communicated. Water God Primordial Spirit and Water Emperor Protective Aura intertwined. Yan Shuiyi, nourished by his Black Emperor Water Emperor Qi, was so comfortable she almost moaned. There was even a sign of a breakthrough.
One was the Emperor of Water, the other the Empress. As they came into contact, their protective auras automatically intertwined.
Fang Han was also completely comfortable as her profound and boundless water origin Qi fused with him. This feeling came from their respective auras.
She could now confirm his previous words were not false. If they truly dual cultivated, she could immediately break through. Just holding hands brought such a great improvement.
Their magical powers circulated, and their auras instantly rose several levels. It was like a "Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Yan Shuiyi also understood his plan: to use the Human Emperor's Brush to eliminate the God Emperor and reap huge benefits. Fortune favors the bold. She and Fan Qingying had both become his pawns. But if it succeeded, the benefits would be unparalleled.
As Hatred Heavenly God Emperor made his move, the Human Emperor's Brush also completely awakened, emitting a boundless aura. A terrifying divine thought swept across the heavens and earth.
"First, kill Fan Qingying and the five God Kings. The God Power of the God Race is poison, but I have a treasure that can convert it into True God Seeds. By absorbing them, you can cultivate half an immortal body," Fang Han transmitted to Yan Shuiyi, preparing to act.
