Although he sensed the cultivation of the Black Shaman Grandmaster inside, appearing to be at eleven eras, and Fang Han could completely just kill the person, break the city, and devour the entire Ancient Shaman City for himself to enhance his own cultivation, he would not commit slaughter without cause or reason.
Having no grievance or enmity with the Black Shaman Grandmaster, striking out to kill would be somewhat unreasonable.
Along Fang Han's journey of cultivation, killing people and devouring the myriad heavens, he only devoured those who plotted against him and slew his enemies. If an enemy did not press him toward death, he would absolutely not stir a desire to kill.
This was the case from the secular world and up into the Heavenly Realm after becoming a Heavenly Lord. Even when encountering people like the "Lord of the Fire Realm," he merely took them in as servants, until the other party turned their coats and wanted to strike him down, exterminating his entire sect; only then did he execute them in one fell swoop.
Similarly, the people from the Demon Realm, Dragon Realm, and Buddha Realm also wanted to exterminate his sect and plunder his divine items; only then did he become greatly enraged.
For people who could be won over, he would absolutely not initiate a massacre. In this world, friends were always better than enemies. However, Fang Han would not refrain from killing out of fear of having too many enemies. Once someone became his enemy, no matter how formidable they were, he would spare no cost to put the enemy to death.
"I annihilated a nest of Blood Gods and obtained quite a bit of blood essence. These materials are all good items. I will find a shop to sell them off to see what the origins of these Immortal King Pills are. Can I gather the Qi of Eternal Life and refine them myself? There are truly too many good items in this Realm Above the Realm. If I can have enough Immortal King Pills and purchase some rare divine items, it is possible for me to elevate my cultivation yet another step, reaching the supreme cultivation of thirteen eras."
Fang Han pondered in his heart.
Twelve eras of cultivation was already the peak of peaks. What would thirteen eras of cultivation look like? Even Fang Han could not calculate it himself, but he understood very well in his heart that even if he cultivated to the boundary of thirteen eras, he would probably still be unable to advance to an Immortal King.
Something was lacking, which was the boundaries.
The metamorphosis of an Immortal King had already dragged in the Gate of Eternal Life. It was not something human effort could manipulate.
Perhaps, without changes from the Gate of Eternal Life, even if one advanced to thirteen, fourteen, or even fifteen or sixteen eras of cultivation, it would be impossible to become an Immortal King. Moreover, Fang Han roughly knew that it wasn't necessarily true that there were no Heavenly Lords with higher cultivation than himself in the Realm Above the Realm. Old antiques with thirteen or fourteen eras of cultivation definitely existed.
Upon encountering these old antiques, he would probably have to take a detour.
Therefore, upon arriving at a good place like the Realm Above the Realm, raising his cultivation was the most pressing matter. The Realm Above the Realm was a place a hundred times more terrifying than the Heavenly Realm. Just thinking about it, those supreme Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Lords who swept invincibly across the Heavenly Realm and commanded the winds and clouds could only hide within cities in the Realm Above the Realm to seek shelter; one could see the reality from that alone.
Swoosh!
With a movement of his body, Fang Han arrived in front of the largest shop in this "Ancient Shaman City" and walked in taking proud strides.
This shop was clearly the internal shop of the city itself. The people inside were evidently much higher class than those small peddlers and vendors setting up stalls outside. Fang Han even saw a few Heavenly Lord customers with a full three or four eras of cultivation selecting items.
Within this shop, there were even skeletons of ancient Heavenly Lords displayed, emitting powerful auras. Besides that, there were Creation Divine Pills and pieces of sacred grade immortal artifacts displayed, waiting for people to select. Of course, perverted sacred grade immortal artifacts like the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure were not present.
A sacred grade immortal artifact was equivalent to a Heavenly Lord level existence, but of course, they were also divided into multiple ranks. Ordinary sacred grade immortal artifacts were merely equivalent to existences with one era of cultivation like the Miao Li Heavenly Lord or the Battle King Heavenly Lord.
As for the Thirty-Three Heavens Supreme Treasure, practically fully exhibiting its might, it was simply equivalent to a Demise Sacred King.
The disparity was so vast it made one's hair stand on end.
"Hmm? I wonder what this guest coming into our Black Shaman Pavilion would like to buy or sell?" Seeing Fang Han enter with an extraordinary aura, a Heavenly Lord cultivator overseeing the shop stood up.
This Heavenly Lord wore a large black robe and a tall hat on his head, looking somewhat similar to a Black Impermanence, only lacking the long tongue and chains. However, his face was ancient and archaic. One could tell at a glance that he possessed the vicissitudes left behind from experiencing several great shatterings of heaven and earth. He was an extremely formidable existence, no less than the "Death Heavenly Lord".
He possessed the cultivation of five eras.
Meanwhile, the aura Fang Han displayed right now, although not at the peak above ten eras, was still higher than his, roughly at the tier of the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Lord. In the Realm Above the Realm, this was enough to warrant sufficient respect from people.
"I am here to sell some items. Here is some fresh blood from the Blood God tribe. I wonder how many Immortal King Pills it can be exchanged for?" On Fang Han's hand, a small blood universe appeared.
"Oh? So much Blood God fresh blood. At the very least, you must have slain over a hundred members of the Blood God tribe to obtain this. Those Blood God tribe members usually hide in the Blood Mountain Range and travel in packs. Whenever they face danger, they immediately deploy into formation arrays. Among them is the Blood God leader, the Lord of Fresh Blood, who is a grand expert that sweeps across invincibly. I wonder if you encountered him, brother?"
That Heavenly Lord cultivator wearing the large black robe, resembling a Black Impermanence, stated.
"The Lord of Fresh Blood?" Fang Han blanked slightly. His immense memory bank operated. Within his memories, the Lord of Fresh Blood was a supreme Blood Lord who had disappeared many eras ago, an old antique on the same level as the Demise Sacred King and the Master of War. He had just entered the Realm Above the Realm and encountered a small sub-tribe of the Blood God tribe, yet he had not encountered this invincible existence, the Lord of Fresh Blood.
However, even if he had encountered him, if the other party struck against Fang Han, he would still end up facing an outcome where his body perishes and his Dao vanishes.
"This Blood God fresh blood can thoroughly temper king grade immortal artifacts, making their advancement into sacred grade immortal artifacts face no obstacles. It is indeed precious, but the quality is not high. If it were the fresh blood of a Heavenly Lord from the Blood God tribe, that would be even better. So for all this fresh blood, how about three hundred Immortal King Pills?"
Seeing Fang Han not reply, merely pondering, this Heavenly Lord cultivator resembling a Black Impermanence in a large black robe offered a price.
"Acceptable. Whatever you say it is, it is. I am an easy person to talk to. Since the value of the fresh blood of a Heavenly Lord level expert from the Blood God tribe is great, then I will just go and kill their Heavenly Lords." Fang Han replied casually. His intention right now was not caring about the quantity of Immortal King Pills, but to obtain one Immortal King Pill to see if he could manufacture it himself. In any case, the primary material of the Immortal King Pill was condensed from the Qi of Eternal Life, and in this Realm Above the Realm, the thing they lacked the least was the Qi of Eternal Life.
"Straightforward…" The Heavenly Lord cultivator resembling a Black Impermanence took a glance at Fang Han, a distinct look of surprise appearing in his eyes. He mentioned the Lord of Fresh Blood just now to remind Fang Han that the Blood God tribe had supreme experts holding down the fort and could not be slain at will. However, now, he unexpectedly received words from Fang Han stating he was going to slay the Heavenly Lords of the Blood tribe, rendering him somewhat speechless.
To be able to speak such words, one was either ignorant or possessed profound underlying strength. Clearly, anyone capable of cultivating to be a Heavenly Lord level expert was someone of outstanding wisdom.
"Just what kind of underlying strength does this person have? Daring to speak such boastful words? The Lord of Fresh Blood and the patriarch of our Ancient Shaman City, the Black Shaman Grandmaster, are existences on the same level. Across the myriad heavens and myriad realms, even in this Realm Above the Realm, they command the wind and rain and are all-powerful. No one dares to provoke them. Last time, there was a Heavenly Lord who came up from the Heavenly Realm with a full peak cultivation of nine eras who wanted to slay the Blood God tribe to practice his arts. He was directly slain face to face by the Lord of Fresh Blood, and all of his Heavenly Lord blood was devoured by the Blood Lords under his command."
This Heavenly Lord resembling a Black Impermanence thought in his heart, while simultaneously waving his hand. Three hundred pills, crystal clear as jade and the size of longans, were tossed out from his hand, falling into Fang Han's hand.
"May I respectfully ask Your Excellency's great name? I am Ma Wu Heavenly Lord of the Shaman tribe, named Ma Jiu. In the future, if you have good materials, you can directly come to my Ancient Shaman City to trade. This is the token of Ancient Shaman City; upon entering the city, you will not have to pay the divine item fee." Seeing Fang Han's profound cultivation, this "Ma Wu Heavenly Lord" harbored thoughts of winning him over.
"Oh, I came up from the Heavenly Realm, entering the Realm Above the Realm to search for a few friends. My name is Fang Han. You can just call me Era Heavenly Lord." Fang Han casually stated his title, nor did he conceal any identity. With his current cultivation, there was absolutely no need to hide anything.
"Era Heavenly Lord, Fang Han?" Ma Wu Heavenly Lord thought for a moment, but ultimately could not figure out from where this hero hailed. It was also true that although Fang Han commanded the winds and clouds in the Heavenly Realm and bore an illustrious fierce reputation, his name had never been heard of in the Realm Above the Realm situated above the Heavenly Realm.
The Realm Above the Realm was an even higher-end world than the Heavenly Realm, a plane lying closer to the Gate of Eternal Life with experts as common as clouds. Unless Fang Han displayed his invincible twelve eras' cultivation right now and achieved a few heaven-shaking and earth-shattering feats, he would not be known by people; otherwise, he was just an unknown greenhorn.
Moreover, he was a Heavenly Lord born in this era. For many Heavenly Lords from the previous, previous, previous… eras, having never heard of him and not knowing him was very normal. If it were Disaster, Eternity, Confusion, Chaos, Slaughter, Primordial Wilderness… these Heavenly Lords, or even the Death Heavenly Lord, their names would resound like thunder in passing ears.
If it were the World Inmeasurable King Buddha or the Eight部 Heavenly Lords, I am afraid this Ma Jiu would immediately be highly respectful, invite them inside at once, and then introduce them to the Black Shaman Grandmaster.
The World Inmeasurable King Buddha, with ten eras of cultivation, would garner respect even in the Realm Above the Realm, being a tycoon among tycoons.
But right now, Fang Han did not reveal his true cultivation. In the eyes of Ma Wu Heavenly Lord, he was merely an expert possessing value to be won over.
However, Fang Han ignored Ma Wu Heavenly Lord's words. As the three hundred Immortal King Pills landed in his hand, the formidable Dao of calculation within his body immediately activated, wanting to analyze the mysteries forming the "Immortal King Pill".
There was no mistake; the Immortal King Pill was condensed purely from the Qi of Eternal Life without mingling in any other materials. Yet the structure within it was extremely cryptic, to the point where even Fang Han's divine sense could not penetrate into it. He directly consumed a pill right on the spot. With a single thought, that Immortal King Pill seemed to possess spirituality as it directly dissolved and infiltrated through his body. In the blink of an eye, he sensed the various profundities of the births and exterminations of countless universes, past lives, current lives, and next lives, and the mana within his body actually achieved a trace of increase.
