In fact, if it weren't for the thought of the Primordial Saint King locking onto him, Cao Ya would have really attacked him again!
Of course, the fact that he killed no one in Taiyantian, Taihetian, Taihuntian, Taixutian, and Tailongtian as soon as he appeared was astonishing!
You must understand, with the help of the Celestial Kings, they were all experts of the fifteenth era!
Taihuangtian, who was besieging Fang Han with the others, couldn't help but feel angry. After all, he and those five people were old friends, inseparable from the Xuanhuang Great World to the Immortal King Battlefield.
Now that his opponent is dead, how could he not be angry? But Taihuangtian also knew that he could not match the power of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord unless some Immortal King infused him with his primordial essence!
"Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord! You damned thing!" Taihuangtian cursed, but increased his strength as he surrounded and attacked Fang Han.
Once the Epoch Heavenly Lord is eliminated, the many heroes will be free to use the same method to kill the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
"A formidable opponent!" The Lord of Qiankun, Ying Tianqing, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the Barbarian Ancestor, and others who were on the same side as Taihuangtian were all filled with trepidation.
If they confront the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord directly, they are very likely to follow in the footsteps of Taiyan Tian and others!
"Boom!" Fang Han threw a punch, directly confronting numerous enemies. He noticed Cao Ya's victory and burst into laughter.
Fang Han was overjoyed at this moment. With the appearance of such a powerful ally, the chances of winning this battle had increased by at least 20%! This was already quite high, considering that they originally only had a 20% chance of winning.
There was no other way; there were too many enemies. Although Fang Han was confident that he was invincible, there were more than ten powerful cultivators who were busy setting up an array to kill him, so he really didn't have the extra energy to help others.
It should be noted that Fang Han's opponents include Taihuangtian, the Lord of Qiankun, Yingtianqing, the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, the Barbarian Ancestor, Huatiandu, and the Lord of Blood, as well as several Heavenly Lords who are either controlled by him or have been kind to him or are his old friends, such as Panwu Immortal Venerable, the Corpse of the Three Emperors, the Old Man of the Heart Demon, and the Demon Venerable of the Crimson Abyss.
Among them, the Lord of Qiankun, in this development, was not abandoned by the Immortal Kings and allowed to be devoured by Hua Tiandu—that was impossible! Because Hua Tiandu's performance was truly unsatisfactory; even if he devoured the Lord of Qiankun, there would be almost no chance of him defeating Fang Han! It was better to keep the Lord of Qiankun, as he was still a powerful pawn against the Epoch Gate. Furthermore, the Immortal Kings' transfer of power also helped the Lord of Qiankun, allowing him to leap to the Sixteenth Epoch, and relying on the Qiankun Gourd, he was even slightly superior to the Barbarian Ancestor and the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons!
At the same time, Ying Tianqing is the reincarnation of the Immortal King of Love and Righteousness. He already has a sacred background and a bright future. He also received help from the Dimensional Immortal King, an old acquaintance of the Immortal King of Love and Righteousness. Now, he is also in the sixteenth century!
The rest were generally fifteen generations old and among the best in their field, already approaching the cultivation level of the next generation!
With such a large and powerful enemy force, even though Fang Han was also a cultivator of the sixteenth century and his overall combat strength was basically enough to fight against the seventeenth century, it was still difficult to say whether he could win against such a lineup, and they were still locked in fierce combat.
"With the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord, even if we can't win, we're quite confident of a retreat."
Besides Fang Han, the experts of the Epoch Sect were also delighted.
Given the vast disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves, only a super giant like the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord could turn the tide!
Fang Qingxue, who fought six Heavenly Lords alone, was indeed less than Fang Han, but that was because Fang Han was too fierce. In fact, Fang Qingxue was also extremely fierce, and she did not appear weak at all when dealing with such opponents!
Linglong Immortal Venerable, on the other hand, fought against two opponents, the Lord of Yin and Yang and the Lord of Two Elements.
Shakyamuni Buddha Feng Baiyu, on the other hand, was fighting against the immeasurable Buddha King of the world and another Heavenly Lord of the fifteenth era! It was also a fight of one against two!
Yan Ze influenced the corpse of the Yellow Spring Emperor, entangled the enemy's strongest Nian Beast!
The remaining Chaotic Heavenly Lord, End Saint King, Long Xuan, Feng Yaoguang, and Human Emperor's Brush were also fighting against overwhelming odds.
However, because of Cao Ya's ferocity, he killed the five Heavenly Lords of Taiyan Heaven, which meant that Feng Yaoguang and the Human Emperor's Brush no longer needed to worry. In the current two-on-two situation, they easily gained the upper hand.
"Vermilion Bird, you've been through seventeen eras?" The three bodies of the Primordial Saint King scrutinized him.
"Thank you." Cao Ya grinned. He was at the level of the fourteenth era, but his overall strength had already surpassed that of the peerless celestial monarch of the seventeenth era to a certain extent.
Without such magical power, it would be impossible to instantly kill five masters from the fifteenth era!
"Everyone underestimates you," the three bodies of the Primordial Saint King said slowly. "If we don't kill you, perhaps at the end of the era, you could really become an Immortal King and stand on the same level as us!"
"Are you scared?" Cao Ya raised an eyebrow. The Primordial Saint King was the origin of the God Race. He had attained enlightenment about twenty epochs ago and was now nearing his end. The heavy aura of death he exuded could not be concealed even by a puppet. However, this did not mean that the Primordial Saint King was weak. On the contrary, it showed his strength even more!
In the [Eternal Life] universe, being powerful doesn't necessarily mean living a long life, but living a long life definitely means being powerful!
Whether you're afraid or not is another matter, but you're definitely going to lose your life here today.
The puppet body of the Primordial Saint King spoke calmly, his tone brimming with confidence.
Cao Ya's eyes flickered slightly. The essence of the Primordial Saint King belonged to the Immortal King level. These three corpses were also his gains from the Immortal King battlefield. They had been re-condensed and were hard and immortal.
To be honest, if the three bodies of the Primordial Saint King joined forces, they would probably be no match for the ordinary sixteen eras.
However, it's definitely not enough to defeat Cao Ya, who is clearly at the level of the 17th century.
Cao Ya pondered, and it was highly likely that other Celestial Kings had other backup plans that were about to emerge!
After all, it is common knowledge that the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord is an ally of the Epoch Gate.
Moreover, figures like the Primordial Demon Lord and the Supreme Emperor Heaven knew that when the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord made his arrangements in the Immortal King Battlefield, how could he not have made a pre-planned move?
However, Cao Ya's methods are diverse and mysterious. He possesses techniques from other universes, which allow him to easily conceal his aura, hide invisibly, and escape into the void. Even if the true body of a Celestial King does not appear, he cannot detect even a single thought. Therefore, Cao Ya found an opportunity to achieve such fruitful results!
Now that Cao Ya has shown himself, the enemy will no longer be wary of the Void of All Directions, which can now manifest, and will follow the example of other battlefields to besiege Cao Ya.
"Here I come!" Just then, the Nian beast roared and charged forward with a loud bang.
"Huh?" Yan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that the Nian beast had escaped. Wasn't this a golden opportunity for him and the Yellow Springs Emperor to go...?
Unfortunately, before Yan and the Yellow Springs Emperor's corpse could kill the nearest enemy Heavenly Lord, suddenly, a skeleton emerged from the depths of the Immortal King's battlefield.
"Boom." This corpse exuded the aura of a Celestial King.
"A small dragon from the fifteenth era? Ha, that primordial ancestral dragon, you're quite willing to part with it." White Bone chuckled lightly.
Without a doubt, behind this corpse is a Celestial King! A thought flew out of the Gate of Immortality, arrived at the Celestial King's battlefield, collected the skeletal remains, forged a piece, formed this body, and carried his thoughts, exerting a remarkable effect.
It should be known that the Celestial King himself was trapped in the Gate of Immortality and imprisoned for a long time, unable to even send out his thoughts. Only when the signs of the final calamity began to appear was he able to barely send out a wisp of shallow thought to the myriad worlds within the universe.
Of course, given the terrifying power of a Celestial King, even the slightest thought of him is comparable to that of an unparalleled Heavenly Monarch!
Their remote transmission of power actually consumed a significant amount of their own essence and vital energy, which helped the heroes continuously advance in level. Otherwise, would the Gate of Immortality really be considered a mere decoration?!
However, no matter how much the source is ignited, even if the Great Dao is self-destructed, the original body will not be able to escape the gate of immortality!
In fact, even if one burns a portion of one's origin, at most only about one-thousandth of the energy can be transferred to a particular Heavenly Ruler.
This is still because the end times are approaching, and the restrictions on the gate to immortality have already begun to loosen.
One can only lament that the existence of the Gate to Immortality is too outrageous; even the combined efforts of many Celestial Kings could not overthrow it!
Otherwise, why would they need to support such a bunch of Heavenly Emperors?
"Who are you?" Yan Han's hair stood on end, the yellow dragon coiled around its body, and its entire form exuded a sense of dread.
"I am a dimension," the skeleton said calmly, looking down at the corpse of the Yellow Spring Emperor. It couldn't help but nod and say, "Not bad, a good seedling, but it's a pity he's completely dead."
"The choice of the Reincarnation Daoist is not wrong. The Yellow Springs Emperor can indeed afford to entrust the Great Dao of Reincarnation."
Upon hearing that this person was the Dimensional Immortal King, Yan held his breath. Fortunately, he had the Yellow Spring Emperor by his side; otherwise, he felt that he would have absolutely no chance of fighting against the Dimensional Immortal King's puppet!
"It's all my fault for letting this war break out ahead of schedule," Yan muttered, blaming himself.
After receiving the message from the Celestial King, the six members of the Taihuang Heaven allied with the three powerful Nian Beasts. They first found the corpse of Immortal Venerable Panwu, refined it directly, and then came to the Yellow Spring Great Barrier to begin their attack.
Fang Han activated his Destiny and sensed something amiss. He then took Fang Qingxue, Linglong Immortal Venerable, Feng Yaoguang, the Human Emperor's Brush, Feng Baiyu, Chaos Heavenly Lord, and Long Xuan with him to rescue the End Saint King. They also arrived at the Yellow Spring Great Barrier. Upon seeing them, Fang Han naturally offered his assistance. He not only had to break through the crisis of the Yellow Spring Great Barrier but also take down those enemies. After killing all the foes, he reaped the spoils of war, and the divine artifacts were to be divided among the Epoch Gate!
However, the enemy's reinforcements also emerged one after another, putting the Epoch Sect at a disadvantage.
No matter how strong an individual is, they can take on two or three opponents of the same level, but when five, six, or even more than ten opponents attack together, they will always be overwhelmed.
Moreover, the heroes of the Epoch Sect also knew in their hearts that there must be a Celestial King's thoughts lurking in the shadows!
However, since the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord has not appeared, nor have the Primordial Daoist, the Worldly Free King Buddha, and the Primordial Ancestral Dragon, the corresponding Immortal King's will is not in a hurry.
"It's better for it to erupt sooner, so that those Immortal Kings don't end up bestowing titles upon even more Heavenly Monarchs," Cao Ya said.
Amidst the fierce battle, Fang Han spoke up: "That's right! Unless we kill these Heavenly Monarchs, they will remain a threat!"
The initiation ceremony requires the consumption of a Celestial King's essence, so each Celestial King can only select two or three people at most.
However, if the Immortal King is given the opportunity to recuperate, then the Epoch Gate will undoubtedly be at a great disadvantage!
After all, our side only has three Immortal Kings, while the other side has more than ten. The difference in numbers is too great!
Consequently, the number of Heavenly Lords who can transmit their power also varies greatly.
Therefore, dragging it out would indeed be detrimental to the Epoch Gate.
"Heh heh, if we start a war now, you're destined to lose anyway," the Nian beast sneered.
With a whoosh, a fierce aura surged from the back of his head, like a demon god high in the sky, shattering the sun and moon, overlooking the universe. All of time and space trembled under the presence of this terrifyingly powerful being.
"The Lord of All Beasts!" Cao Ya narrowed his eyes, recognizing the person.
Who else could the Nian beast trust completely, besides its father?
The so-called Nian beast is the most powerful mythical beast in the [Eternal] universe.
Every chaotic era has its legend of the Nian beast, which brings an end to the year.
Here, mythical beasts such as Kunpeng, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Qilin are all inferior to the Nian beast.
Furthermore, it is speculated that the Nian beast may have already existed in the very first era!
The Lord of All Beasts is not even the first Immortal King of the Year Beast Clan! It's impossible to say which number he is!
But this does not mean that the Lord of Beasts is not powerful enough. On the contrary, the terror of this beast has spread throughout the ages, and all living beings are terrified.
"Vermilion Bird, you have paid your respects to the Lord of All Beasts, why are you not kneeling down!" the Nian Beast roared.
"My father is the ruler of the demon, beast, and barbarian races! How dare you, a mere Vermilion Bird, provoke me?"
The Nian beast spoke in an arrogant tone, with a hint of contempt for Cao Ya's background.
The Vermilion Bird, a mythical beast, is it worthy of being compared to the Year Beast?
Cao Ya chuckled and said, "The Lord of All Beasts has only been around for more than twenty epochs. Given the same amount of time, it's really hard to say who is stronger or weaker."
"But that is the lord of all beasts. As for you, if no one else intervenes, in a one-on-one fight, I would have wasted all those techniques if I didn't kill you."
The Nian Beast's face was gloomy, and the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord clearly did not believe that he would be a match!
This was a disgrace to the Nian Beast, who had cultivated for seventeen eras and spent years on the Immortal King Battlefield seeking opportunities to become an Immortal King! In the previous era, he had never even heard of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord!
An unknown nobody, just lucky, and now dares to put on airs in front of him...
“He’s right, you are indeed inferior to him,” the three forms of the Primordial Saint King said with a smile.
The Nian beast's face grew increasingly somber, but the status and position of the Ancestral Holy King were far beyond his reach, so he dared not refute it.
"Now that the Vermilion Bird is dead, there's no need to consider any comparisons," the Lord of Beasts said cruelly.
However, the Nian beast looked even more depressed.
His father's words clearly indicated that, like the Ancestral Holy King, he also felt that he was no match for the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Lord.
Cao Ya pondered that the Lord of Beasts must have had a plan. He used Fang Han's Great Destiny Technique to appropriately reduce the seal on the Gate of Immortality, then completely burned his original body, using a bit of his true spirit to escape, seize Fang Han's body, and preempt all the Immortal Kings, gaining the upper hand!
However, with the timeline changing, all the related calculations came to naught.
But for the Lord of All Beasts, this is a good thing.
Otherwise, the Lord of Beasts would be suppressed and killed by the Gate of Immortality. The surviving bit of his true spirit would also be taken away by Fang Han, and the remaining two-thirds would be sacrificed by the kings and devoured by Hua Tiandu!
Unlike now, the original body is safe and sound, and can still have thoughts. It still holds a lofty and supreme position that dominates for all eternity!
Cao Ya's gaze swept across the various battlefields, where he saw the Lord of Heaven and Earth, the Lord of Yin and Yang, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, the Supreme Heavenly Lord, and other powerful figures. If it weren't for the changes in the timeline, according to the original book, they would all be dead by now, devoured by Hua Tiandu. The few survivors would also be swallowed up by Hua Tiandu in the future.
The princes were willing to sacrifice anything to cultivate the cancerous Hua Tiandu!
Now, it is precisely because Fang Han is ridiculously strong that the kings have met their end prematurely, but they have not given up on these Heavenly Monarchs.
"You're already a Celestial King, why bother hiding?"
