From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 597 Sword Light Cuts Through the Heavens, Second Stage of Immortality

"Junior Fang Han respectfully presents two Golden Elixirs from the Taiyi Sect, wishing the Immortal Venerable a long and prosperous life, and a swift attainment of the Great Dao!"

His voice was clear and resonant, carrying throughout the entire venue.

In an instant, the entire Mount Sumeru fell into a deathly silence. Everyone knew what this meant; it was a blatant slap in the face to the Taiyi Sect, laying their irreconcilable feud bare!
"Good! Good! Good!"

Sure enough, the next moment, a voice filled with endless majesty, anger and killing intent seemed to come from the heavens above and the depths of the underworld, causing the entire Linglong Blessed Land to tremble slightly!

"The Demon Fang Han! He killed a true disciple of my Taiyi Sect and blasphemed the Immortal Path. He deserves to die a thousand deaths! I, the Sect Master of Taiyi Sect, Hun Tian Dao Ren, hereby issue the Immortal Path Kill Order: All cultivators of the Xuanhuang Great World may kill this fiend! Whoever takes his head will be rewarded with one hundred million Pure Yang Pills and one Taiqing Hun Tian Pill! Whoever captures his soul will be rewarded with three hundred million and will be granted the supreme divine power of my Taiyi Sect!"

The phantom of the Chaos Daoist condensed in the sky outside Mount Sumeru, and the immense pressure was like the sky collapsing, causing countless cultivators of the Divine Power Realm to tremble.

"Hun Tian, ​​are you trying to teach me how to operate in the Linglong Blessed Land?"

Linglong Immortal Venerable finally spoke, her voice still calm, yet carrying an undeniable power. She didn't even get up, but simply raised her slender hand and gently waved it towards the void.

"Buzz!"

A sword light, clear as autumn water yet containing the supreme will to create heaven and earth and reshape the universe, burst forth from her fingertips! This sword light was not vast, but it instantly tore through the oppressive aura of the Hun Tian Dao Ren's descent, traversed endless space, and directly slashed at the illusory figure!

"Linglong! How dare you!" The illusory figure of the Chaotic Daoist was filled with shock and anger, and he used all his magical power to resist.

However, before that seemingly gentle sword light, all his resistance was as fragile as paper! The sword light swept past, and the phantom let out a shrill scream before instantly collapsing and dissipating!

The Hun Tian Dao Ren, who was far away at the Taiyi Sect, was struck as if by a heavy blow. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his aura instantly weakened!
"Linglong! You..."

Then another, even more ancient and vast voice rang out, filled with anger; the will of the Supreme Emperor was about to descend.

"Taihuangtian, now that this matter is settled, take your people back." Linglong Immortal Venerable's tone remained unchanged, but carried a hint of coldness. "If you continue to make noise, I don't mind visiting your Taiyi Sect's immortal mountain."

The vast will remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not descend completely. It merely enveloped the injured Hun Tian Daoist and quietly retreated.

The entire venue fell silent once again!

With a casual gesture, the Celestial Venerable Linglong severely injured the Taiyi Sect Leader and forced Taihuangtian to retreat! What level of cultivation and power did she possess!
Having established her authority, no one dared to question the power of the Linglong Immortal Venerable anymore, and no one dared to openly threaten to kill her.

Subsequently, the Immortal Venerable Linglong announced that the ownership of the three supreme divine powers—Zuma Ancient Divine Energy, Great Salvation Zen Light, and Mount Sumeru King Fist—would be decided through a martial arts contest.

The ensuing battles almost became Fang Han's solo stage. Relying on the golden core formed from more than ninety supernatural abilities, the mystery of the Dragon Subduing in the Yellow Springs Diagram, the domineering power of the Great Devouring Technique, and various unexpected methods, he successively defeated the geniuses from various sects, including powerful figures such as Xue Wuyang and Xing Miexie.

In the final showdown with Jiao Fei, Fang Han even broke through his limits on the spot, triggering the Great Calamity of Wind and Fire!

Unlike the original story, this great tribulation of wind and fire did not cause him too much trouble. Under the tempering of the Black Nightmare Dragon Wind and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, he not only successfully overcame the tribulation, but also condensed his own supernatural powers, cultivated his natal talisman, and his strength soared. He defeated Jiao Fei in one fell swoop and obtained the inheritance of three supreme supernatural powers!

Just as Fang Han was receiving the inheritance, full of vigor and becoming one of the biggest winners of this birthday banquet, another unexpected event occurred!

"When I attain eternal life, all beings, past and future, will be able to know..."

"When I attain eternal life, all causes and effects, all cycles of retribution, will be under my control..."

"When I attain eternal life, all the demons and countless races will be able to convert to the Great Way and enjoy peace and happiness..."

"When I have eternal life..."

A series of grand, solemn chanting sounds, seemingly originating from the very beginning of creation, suddenly emanated from the deepest core of Mount Sumeru!
The sound was initially faint, but in an instant it resounded throughout the heavens and earth, spreading throughout the entire Linglong Blessed Land! Countless golden wish power talismans emerged from the sky, like a rain of gold, converging into a vast river of wish power, surging and flowing around Mount Sumeru!

In the sky, the void cracked open, and countless pure crystal flowers of aspiration descended; on the earth, golden springs of aspiration welled up. The sounds of conch shells and Dharma drums were louder than ever before, as if countless gods and Buddhas were chanting in unison in the void!
A vast, majestic aura, as if it were about to establish a grand ambition to save the world from all suffering, surged into the sky from where Li Chengqian was in seclusion!

Driven by this aura, the accumulated vows and faith of Mount Sumeru over ten thousand years seemed to have found their home and frantically converged there!

"This is... the Great Wish Technique! Someone is attempting to break through to the Longevity Realm!" a knowledgeable ancient giant exclaimed in shock. "Look at that Dharma image, it's Li Chengqian! He's breaking through to the Longevity Realm here!"

Everyone's gaze fell upon the summit of Mount Sumeru, where they saw a Dharma image that was already ten thousand feet tall, with eighteen pairs of wings spread out.

"It's Li Chengqian! This is his Dharma image!"

"He has stirred up the primordial power of Mount Sumeru! How could he possibly have done that?!"

"What a grand aspiration! Once this child breaks through, to what extent will his strength skyrocket?"

Under the gaze of countless shocked, horrified, and incredulous eyes, the place where Li Chengqian was in seclusion shone brightly, and his aura rose steadily, instantly breaking through an invisible barrier!

As a massive influx of celestial energy washed over him, he felt his lifespan increasing rapidly...

Ten thousand years! Twenty thousand years! Thirty thousand years...

Even after reaching 30,000 years, it continued to grow at an astounding rate, until…

Eighty-one thousand years!!
In the original novel, Fang Han broke through to the Longevity Realm, reaching a lifespan of 36,000 years. Now, he has broken through again, directly reaching 81,000 years. In addition, he also possesses the power of 3.3 billion galloping horses!

This is his secret realm of immortality! The Realm of Ten Thousand Years!
But, it's not enough!
After breaking through to the Longevity Realm, his aura not only did not stagnate, but instead surged wildly at an even more terrifying speed!

The boundary between the physical body and the Dharma form began to blur, and the spirit and primordial energy completely merged! Under the influence of the power of his vows, his ten-thousand-foot Dharma form and his physical body began a wondrous fusion and reorganization, and an artistic conception of "the physical body is immortal, and the Dharma form is indestructible" spread out!
"Immortal body! He's actually going to directly step into the second level of immortality, the immortal body!" A powerful demon from outer space exclaimed in shock.

"A madman! Absolutely a madman! Surviving two great tribulations of immortality in one go?!"

Just as Li Chengqian was about to fully attain immortality, a voice filled with resentment and murderous intent tore through the void:

"You little beast! You still want to break through? Stay here and serve this emperor!"

The Primordial Emperor, responding to the Primordial Ones, has returned! He disregarded the intimidation of the Exquisite Immortal Venerable and chose to make a reckless move at this crucial moment! A demonic hand covering the sky, containing the laws of the Heavenly Position, and capable of crushing stars, pierced through the void and directly grabbed the core where the power of will converged, intending to crush Li Chengqian along with his breakthrough momentum!
"Ying Xiantian!" For the first time, Linglong Immortal Venerable's voice carried a clear chill. "I gave you a chance."

She didn't even turn around; she simply pointed her fingers like a sword and made a seemingly casual slash in the direction of Ying Xiantian.

A sword aura!
A clear, transparent sword aura, seemingly devoid of any worldly concerns, yet containing the supreme truth of severing cause and effect, destroying all laws, and reaching the other shore, arrived first after being struck later, instantly sweeping across the sky.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no devastating energy surge.

Amidst countless stunned gazes, the incredibly powerful demonic hand, along with Ying Xiantian's right arm sleeve, was severed at the shoulder! The cut was as smooth as a mirror, as if it were meant to be that way from the start!
"what--!"

A suppressed roar of pain and fury echoed from the void, as Ying Xiantian's demonic blood rained down, each drop containing terrifying demonic energy that corroded black holes into the void itself. He grabbed his severed arm with his remaining left hand, his figure blurring instantly, carrying endless resentment and an indescribable fear, before fleeing once more, vanishing without a trace.

Linglong Immortal Venerable slowly withdrew her finger, as if she had only done a trivial matter. Her gaze swept across the entire scene, and everyone who touched her eyes, regardless of whether they were immortals or demons, or regardless of their cultivation level, lowered their heads and dared not look directly at her.

The entire Mount Sumeru was filled only with the echoing of Li Chengqian's grand vows and chanting, and the ever-rising, imminent immortal aura that heralded the rise of a new giant and the unparalleled absolute majesty of the Linglong Immortal Venerable.

The birthday banquet had reached its climax!
"An immortal body! He actually stepped into the second level of Longevity in one fell swoop! An immortal body! No wonder I didn't see him at the birthday banquet. So, he broke through here!"

"Hiss, that's terrifying. He broke through to the second level of the Longevity Realm and became an ancient giant. He's on a completely different level from us."

"Yes, yes, just think about it, he's only been cultivating for a few years, yet he's achieved so much. It's truly terrifying!!"

………………

……

As everyone watched the Dharma image slowly disappear at the top of Mount Sumeru, their feelings were complicated.
