Invasion of the Heavens from Eternal Life

Chapter 196: Stepping into the Divine Forbidden Zone, Arriving at the Dragon's Nest

Divine City, Heavenly Demon Treasure Palace.

The Tianyao Treasure Palace, an auction venue under the Tianyao Palace, towered over the clouds, resembling a celestial palace. One day, the sound of a long bell echoed throughout the Divine City, heralding the auction of a peerless divine object. At this auction, Fang Han secured the Wushi Emperor Jade, a piece from the original novel, and then departed the Divine City.

The current Divine City no longer has much appeal to Fang Han.

For him, whether it was the source, or the goddesses and fairies, they were almost within his reach.

Fang Han had also watched the dance of An Miaoyi, the successor of Miaoyu Temple, and found her very beautiful. However, Fang Han did not like women with deep scheming, nor did he want a useless vase, so he had no plans to take An Miaoyi into his harem.

It is already winter.

Outside the divine city, it is now a snowy area.

The heavy snow fluttered down, covering the land for billions of miles with white.

Fang Han sat cross-legged on a snowy peak. The heavy snow disappeared when it got three feet away from him.

On his shoulder, there was a small golden thing, the size of a finger, like a small golden snake, or a golden baby dragon. Especially, this little thing had a pair of fleshy dragon horns on its head. At this moment, the little thing was constantly gnawing on a fist-sized piece of amber-like gorgeous source stone that exuded incomparable life essence.

If someone is knowledgeable, they will find that what this little thing is gnawing on is actually the incomparably precious divine source!
Sources are amber-like crystals formed when spiritual creatures absorb the essence of the universe. Divine Sources are the finest of these, not only containing vast amounts of life essence but also capable of preserving living beings and maintaining their vital characteristics. A fist-sized piece of Divine Source, containing enough life essence to satisfy the needs of an average cultivator to ascend from the Wheel Sea Secret Realm to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, is truly priceless.

"Little thing, eat slowly, the divine source will be gone once you finish it!"

Fang Han joked.

This little thing is the divine silkworm sealed in the divine source, which was cut out by Fang Han.

The Divine Silkworm Clan possesses a gift: the ability to continually transform. Each transformation is a fresh start, completely forgetting the past, and each transformation makes them stronger than before.

It is said that once the divine silkworm has undergone nine transformations, it will be invincible in the world, and after ten transformations, it will be able to dominate the past and present.

Fang Han knew, however, that in ancient times, the Divine Silkworm Clan had produced an emperor known as the Divine Emperor, even more remarkable than the Immortal Emperor. The Divine Emperor never died, but later, through a spatial rift, he strayed into the Soul River, falling into darkness and becoming an undercover agent. During the Holy Ruins Era, he rose to become a giant of the Soul River, a peerless Quasi-Daoist, and even possessed the potential to reach the level of Immortal Emperor.

The current Divine Emperor has probably completed ten or even eleven transformations.

This little divine silkworm has an extraordinary origin; he is the younger brother of the Divine Emperor.

Hearing Fang Han's words, the little divine silkworm blinked its big eyes and tilted its head to look at Fang Han with an innocent expression.

"Alright, stop pretending to be innocent. Work hard in my Yaoguang Holy Land from now on. This Holy Son will not treat you unfairly~"

Fang Han took out a piece of divine source from the treasure house.

This piece of divine source is as big as a ball and emits brilliant divine light.

Upon seeing this, the little divine silkworm's eyes suddenly lit up and his mouth was almost drooling.

The little divine silkworm was put into the imperial weapon to stop its thoughts. A great Dao treasure bottle appeared above Fang Han's head, dropping thousands of black lights, slowly absorbing and devouring the divine source.

Fang Han had carved this Divine Source from the Yaoguang Stone Workshop. He possessed the "Book of Heavenly Sources" and possessed unique insights into Sourcestones. He had discovered the Divine Source contained within the Sourcestones in the Tianzihao Park of the Yaoguang Stone Workshop. This Divine Source was enough for him to achieve a breakthrough.

Nearly two months have passed since Fang Han came to the world of Zhantian again. He finally sensed the true meaning of dragon transformation and was able to break through the secret realm of dragon transformation.

The Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, a successor to the Four Extremes Secret Realm, corresponds to the human spine. The human spine is a hidden dragon, and cultivation in the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm is about reviving, tempering, and transforming this dragon. The Nine Transformations Dragon ascends to immortality. Only by achieving perfection in the Dragon Transformation Realm can one enter the final secret realm of the human body—the Immortal Terrace—and unlock limitless potential.

The Dragon Transformation Secret Realm is a key realm connecting the Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, and the Four Extremes Secret Realms. Upon successful cultivation, the might of the four realms converges, creating an immensely powerful force. The human body has thirty-three vertebrae, spanning the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae. The Dragon Transformation Secret Realm refines these vertebrae. The first eight of the nine realms refine twenty-four vertebrae, while the ninth and final realm refines the final nine. Once all refinements are complete, forming a complete dragon, the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm is considered complete.

Before the breakthrough, Tianyi, who was at the pinnacle of the Zhan Dao realm, and his Holy Spirit clone had already been guarding the Dao in the void with imperial weapons. If anyone was so blind as to interfere with his breakthrough, they would be struck by thunder.

Mountain top.

After absorbing these divine essences, Fang Han's aura directly broke through to a higher level, far exceeding the four extremes of perfection.

He took a step forward and directly reached a height of ten thousand feet in the sky, triggering a heavenly calamity.

Rumble!
Suddenly, muffled thunder roared, and hundreds of thousands of miles of land were instantly plunged into darkness. At that moment, the sky seemed to collapse. An endless sea of ​​thunder formed in the void, pouring down like a torrential rain, striking Fang Han.

These seas of thunder contain an extremely terrifying aura, even a powerful person who breaks through to the King of the Slashing Dao will not be able to do so!
I saw ninety-nine and eighty-one blood-red lightning bolts, like swimming dragons, coming towards Fang Han with bared fangs and claws. Each lightning bolt was as thick as a mountain, and the power contained in it was enough to easily kill a high-level powerful dragon.

This doesn't seem to be a calamity from heaven, but a punishment from heaven!

Fang Han's expression remained unchanged. A Dao treasure bottle appeared above his head, drooping billions of black rays of light, isolating the lightning and keeping it outside, while continuously absorbing the power of lightning.

Eighty-one lightning bolts, though numerous, were consumed and refined into essence within a single breath, replenishing the body. A blood-red lightning symbol flashed on the aquarium. While devouring the heavenly punishment, the Heaven Devouring Demonic Art could also reveal the mysteries of thunder, furthering its cultivation.

Rumble~
The rumble of thunder was like the roar of the sky.

Various heavenly punishments fell like snowflakes, including the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, the Moon True Tribulation, and the Water and Fire Great Tribulation.
In an instant, tens of millions of thunderbolts poured down, each one as big as a mountain, and the power contained in it was enough to easily kill a powerful dragon.

Under so many thunder punishments, even the Dao Vase that Fang Han sacrificed began to crack gradually, as if it could not withstand its power. However, streams of chaotic essence flowed over the Dao Vase, and it soon repaired it completely.

Fang Han sat cross-legged in the sea of ​​thunder, his spine began to wriggle slowly, like a giant dragon about to take off, emitting chaotic divine light, and bursts of dragon roars were heard, which was a sign that he was about to transform into a dragon.

At this moment, ninety-nine celestial dragons were born in the void sea of ​​thunder. They looked like real dragons, with lifelike scales, mysterious and weird. They circled with their heads held high and flew towards Fang Han with their fangs and claws bared.

Great Dragon Tribulation!
Ancient texts record that the Great Dragon Tribulation is the imprint of the ancient dragon's essence and blood in the thunder tribulation, resulting in a kind of heavenly tribulation that is extremely rare, and even a peerless genius would hardly encounter it when breaking through the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.
Ninety-nine and eighty-one heavenly dragons, with heads as big as mountains and horns as big as holy weapons, rushed towards Fang Han fiercely.

"Baoshan Seal!"

Fang Han activated the sacred fighting technique, evolving the "Mountain Embrace Seal." A pitch-black mountain began to form within his embrace, its chaotic divine power forming. As he moved, it flew outward, swelling against the wind and transforming into a thousand-foot-tall Chaos Divine Mountain. Containing immense weight, it descended upon a celestial dragon, crushing it and transforming it into essence.

Afterwards, Fang Han did not dodge or evade, but punched out directly, confronting the second dragon head-on and defeating it with one punch.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Han once again activated the Holy Fighting Technique, using fists, fingers, legs, knees, elbows, palms, feet, strikes, and claws simultaneously. Using his own body as a weapon, he unleashed eight different attacking techniques in succession, directly defeating the remaining Tianlong.

He has an innate chaotic body, and his physique is forged by all the ways. It is stronger than the ancient holy body, and his body is the sharpest divine weapon.

Although these eighty-one celestial dragons were powerful and could not be easily subdued even by a strong man at the first level of the Immortal Platform or a half-step powerful being, they were still directly destroyed by his fists and feet.

Eighty-one celestial dragons perished, their essences all being devoured by the dragon in Fang Han's spine. At this moment, his spine gradually evolved into the prototype of a Chaos Ancestral Dragon, with faintly visible dragon horns and scales.

This is not the end. In the void, another ancient dragon platform transformed from thunder and lightning was floating up and down. At the same time, the huge thunder evolved into endless ancient palaces, as if the ancient heaven appeared again in the void.

Several humanoid creatures transformed from lightning were looking down from above.

"So what if it's a human-shaped thunderbolt!"

Fang Han let out a long roar and ascended directly to the ninth heaven. After smashing and swallowing the True Dragon Platform with one punch, he went directly towards the humanoid creature in the Heavenly Immortal Palace.

At this moment, a human-shaped lightning moved and walked out from the fairy palace.

This human-shaped lightning was as white as jade, with a red divine furnace on its head, just like a god descending to the earth.

A red flame burst forth from the Holy Furnace, blazing for three thousand miles. This flame was powerful enough to easily incinerate a Half-Step Great Power, or even severely injure a Saint Lord-level powerhouse, but it was blocked by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Light.

"Holy Fighting Method, Divine Furnace Suppresses!"

Inside the Dao Treasure Bottle, Fang Han once again activated the Holy Fighting Technique, and saw a similar divine furnace evolving and taking shape, flying towards the human-shaped lightning.

This human-shaped lightning is also at the level of dragon transformation. It is like a young emperor. Its fighting skills have almost reached the pinnacle, and even the supreme saint cannot suppress it.

However, Fang Han was not bad either. Although this was only an incarnation of his practicing the Heaven Covering Method, he possessed an innate chaotic body and had brought with him some of the combat qualities from the Eternal World.

In the battle of the same realm, although he cannot compare with the battle-hardened emperor of the world of Shrouding the Sky, his every move is like the transformation of Tao.

His astonishing combat prowess was equally impressive. After a brutal fistfight with the humanoid lightning, Fang Han unleashed the Nine Secrets: the "All" Secret, the "Fight" Secret, and numerous divine arts from the Five Imperial Scriptures: the "Demon Devouring Heavenly Art," the "Immortal Heavenly Art," the "Demon Emperor Ancient Scripture," the "Tribulation Heavenly Art," and the "Infinite Beginning Scripture." Within ten moves, Fang Han chopped the humanoid lightning bolt to death, depleting it to the nutrient needed for his advancement to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Fang Han did not use the "Great Chaos Technique" and "Great Devouring Technique" brought from the Eternal World during the battle, otherwise, the Dragon Thunder Tribulation would have been directly defeated by the great magical powers he displayed, and would not have served the purpose of training.

At this moment, Fang Han's divine consciousness transformed into a small Chaos figure, atop a book of ancient Chaos. This figure, shrouded in chaotic light and surrounded by numerous immortal spirits, vaguely merged with the myriad Paths of the void. It attempted to activate the myriad Paths and condense its own chaotic divine principles. The sun, moon, stars, and all other divine essences were consumed by it.

A Primordial Chaos Body is a rare sight, even in ancient and modern times. Even if someone has achieved the status of Emperor before, they can still continuously break through and achieve the Chaos Emperor position. After devouring countless divine spirits from the void, the Chaos Figure, along with the Three Thousand Dao Books above his head, simultaneously transformed into a ray of Chaos Light and entered Fang Han's body.

At this moment, after absorbing all the thunder essence, Fang Han's spine, starting from the tailbone, underwent a transformation, with chaotic dragon scales growing on them, forming the shape of a dragon's tail. In other words, Fang Han had directly broken through from the Four Extremes Perfection to the Fourth Level of Dragon Transformation!
Not only that, Fang Han discovered that his potential had been further improved, and he found himself standing in a special and mysterious realm without knowing when.

This realm seems to have infinite mysteries, which can make one's condition reach the best, the soul is pure and flawless, without any weaknesses, the spirit reaches the peak, and the combat power is sublimated in an instant. One can easily exert ten times the combat power of the "Jie" character secret and exert all his strength.

"Is this a divine ban? It's really incredible!" After exiting this state, he felt a little lost.

In the world of Shrouding the Sky, those with extraordinary talents can fight across several small realms.

Before entering the Saint Realm, the average exceptionally talented individual could even leapfrog six or seven minor realms. However, there were few Eight Forbidden Heavenly Prodigies throughout history who could leapfrog eight minor realms, making the Eight Forbidden Realms practically insurmountable.

However, after entering the realm of the Holy Realm, ordinary strong men of the Six Forbidden, Seven Forbidden, and Eight Forbidden levels will no longer be able to continue to fight against the Holy Realm, because there is an insurmountable gap between the strong men below the Holy Realm and the Holy Realm combat power. This gap is also called the "Holy Realm Barrier". Even the top King of the Way of Slashing in the third level of the Immortal Platform, even if this King of the Way of Slashing is an eight-forbidden strong man, still cannot rely on his own combat power to fight against the Holy Realm and will be easily killed.

Only by reaching the Nine Forbidden Realms, or even the Divine Forbidden Realm, which surpasses the Nine Forbidden Realms, can one cross the barrier of the Holy Realm. The Divine Forbidden Realm is a legend within legends, rarely seen in aeons. Many renowned geniuses throughout history have never even entered it in their lifetimes, hence the name "Eternal Divine Forbidden Realm."

The divinely forbidden realm, where only the gods can dwell, is the strongest state a human body can achieve. Throughout history, only the ancient emperors have been able to permanently reside within it!
Fang Han is in the realm of four-pole perfection, spanning ten small realms, and can fight against and even kill humanoid lightning comparable to the supreme saint lord level.

This also means that his strength has long surpassed the realm of the Eight Forbidden Realms and reached the realm of the Divine Forbidden Realm.

After breaking through the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, Fang Han ordered Tianyi to open the domain gate leading to the endless snowfield.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Han came to an ice field.

This ice field, located at an altitude of several thousand meters, is covered with ice and snow even in summer, and has been so since ancient times.

Seventy or eighty thousand years ago, this region, home to endless, towering snow-capped mountains, also housed an ancient sacred site known as the "Underworld Palace." Founded by descendants of an ancient clan, it was essentially a puppet of the clan. Due to its involvement in inciting unrest, it was annihilated by an invincible, supremely accomplished Divine King of the Jiang family, wielding a supreme imperial weapon. Only a female Saint Lord escaped. However, the Jiang family remained unaware of the site's mysteries at the time.

In later times, that is, ten thousand years ago, there was a snow ape who once again founded a great sect, named Ice and Snow Palace.

This area, underground, is where real dragons live, and it is a "Nest of Ten Thousand Dragons" terrain that can give birth to dragon veins.

"The original book records that within the Ten Thousand Dragons' Nest resides the ancient royal family and the True Dragon Immortality Elixir. Within the Chaos Dragon Nest at the Extreme, there's also the coffin of the Ruthless Emperor. Furthermore, within the Chaos Dragon Nest are treasure maps and human demons from the Ancient Great Saint Realm. For me, this is a place of opportunity!"

Fang Han said secretly.

　Thanks to "Ruoxing_CD" for the reward, thank you for your support!
