Chapter 1077 - Chapter 1077 Chapter 445 First Encounter with a Ghost

Chapter 1077: Chapter 445: First Encounter with a Ghost Immortal, Harvesting the Immortal Vine_2 Chapter 1077: Chapter 445: First Encounter with a Ghost Immortal, Harvesting the Immortal Vine_2 Yang Jiu Huan’s expression changed.

“Be careful, we can’t suppress this thing.”

The red mirror frame she had taken out was only a first-stage Immortal Artifact, but it had the effect of vanquishing evil, and it was even more powerful than a second-stage Immortal Artifact in terms of suppressing rogue immortals, especially Ghost Immortals.

No sooner had her words fallen than across dozens of miles ahead, on top of a mountain, the Phantom transformed from illusory to real, turning into a genuine Ghost Immortal. The Ghost Immortal suddenly stretched out its hand and reached toward them.

And preceding that gigantic sweeping hand was a surge of malicious consciousness, attacking them across the void.

This consciousness was not much inferior to the Evil God thoughts Han Yi had encountered in the Deep Red Thunder Field.

Back then, it was just an insignificant trail-marker thought, yet now, it was the very real presence of a Ghost Immortal.

Furthermore, Han Yi could already tell that the Ghost Immortal’s state was bizarre.

A possibility flashed through Han Yi’s mind: many years ago, this Ghost Immortal had discovered this Small Realm Heaven and wanted to merge with or refine the Immortal Vine, but something went wrong in the process, leading both into a strange state.

Alternatively, there was another possibility, which was that this Ghost Immortal was the master of this Small Realm Heaven, and the Immortal Vine devoured its master, dragging both into this bizarre state.

As the speculative thought flitted by and the malicious surge approached, with the hand of the heaven-bearing giant emitting a thick Ghost Tao aura, Han Yi hesitated no longer and swung his sword to strike.

The Green Reed Sword was a second-stage Immortal Sword, and although Han Yi had just entered the early-stage of being a True Immortal, he had an extremely high degree of compatibility with this Sword Tool. In his early-stage True Immortal state, he could still wield ninety percent of the Green Reed Sword’s power.

At his side, Yang Jiu Huan and Li Zhengyang also took action. Two Immortal Cauldrons, one with golden light and the other with purple light, reflected one another, emanating thick Power of the Immortal Tao.

The three took the lead to shatter the incoming malice.

Then, with a shout, light projected forward, bombarding the approaching giant hand.

Bang!!

This Small Realm Heaven was just a small one, its space far more fragile than that of the Immortal Realm space; with a single blow, they created a scene of Spacial Rupture and destruction.

The black giant hand was annihilated by the combined force of the three.

But the expressions of all three fell slightly; this one strike also tested the mettle of the Ghost Immortal.

The opponent’s state was off, and the malice was an innate emission from the Ghost Immortal’s body, so one could say it was instinctual. But even being in ill-condition and only able to exert a small portion of its full strength instinctually, they still felt pressured.

If the opponent were in full bloom, it would undoubtedly have the strength of a peak-level True Immortal, or even a Profound Immortal.

Just then,

Yang Jiu Huan suddenly remembered something and exclaimed,

“Back in the Xuancang Palace, I saw a miscellaneous chapter introducing the Tang Immortal Sect.”

“From what was recorded there, compared with the events that are unfolding, I have a conjecture.”

“This Ghost Immortal is very likely the founding patriarch of the Tang Immortal Sect, who disappeared and perished outside.”

“He perished outside, underwent Cultivation Rebirth into the Ghost Tao, and after returning to the sect, he cultivated the power of the Immortal Vine, preparing to become an Evil Immortal with the power of a Ghost Immortal by taking possession of the Immortal Vine in his ghostly form.”

“But at that time, other True Immortals within the sect sensed his aberration, leading to internal strife. The Tang Sect Ancestor sealed himself in the Small Realm Heaven, cutting off outside spying.”

“Looking at the current situation, I speculate that over the years and through thirty thousand years, although this Tang Sect Ancestor had cultivated the Immortal Vine, an accident occurred during the merging process, resulting in the strangely aberrant Ghost Immortal we see.”

“This Ghost Immortal’s essence is of a Profound Immortal, and we might find it difficult to kill.”

“Now, our objective should be that Ancient Enlightenment Immortal Vine–to harvest the Immortal Vine and then quickly withdraw from the Small Realm.”

Yang Jiu Huan’s words were accepted by Han Yi. With that prior strike, he also knew the strength of the Ghost Immortal; even if he went all out, he would find it hard to kill.

They had come for treasure, not to kill Ghost Immortals.

“Okay.” Li Zhengyang was even more straightforward, beginning to stimulate the Power of the Immortal Cauldron, descending to sever and collect the Immortal Vine.

Speaking of which,

From the time the three chased into this Small Realm Heaven, to Yang Jiu Huan bringing out the Immortal Artifact mirror frame, to the manifestation of the Ghost Immortal, the surge of evil intent, the giant hand reaching out, the three confronting it, and shattering both the malicious intent and the giant hand,

The span of time had been but two breaths’ length.

After two breaths, the three of them made a decision.

Han Yi’s face grew stern as he released the Green Reed Sword, his Immortal Thoughts surging, tied to the Qingping, a flash of green-black brilliance, and in an instant, he reached a distant mountain dozens of miles away. With a swoop, a slash, a roll, he severed several huge vines crawling over the mountain and then collected them into the Immortal Artifact Space.

Meanwhile, Yang Jiu Huan and Li Zhengyang also made their moves, cutting down the Immortal Vine tendrils below and pulling them into the Immortal Artifact Space.

Although this Ancient Enlightenment Immortal Vine had undergone mutation, the effects of the vine’s Enlightenment had not been lost. Otherwise, the power of the Immortal Vine that Li Zhengyang acquired would not have assisted him in penetrating the Immortal Path.

At this moment, on the peak of the ten-thousand-meter-high mountain, numerous tendrils of the vast Immortal Vine covered the mountain. Yet in just a short breath, hundreds of tendrils were cut and harvested, with Han Yi claiming more than eighty percent because his sword was faster, cutting, suppressing, easily carrying away in one smooth motion.

During this period, the giant vine did not completely lack a response; just like before in the outer realm’s valley, it began lashing about, attempting to swipe away the three’s Immortal Artifacts.

But under the deliberate control of the three, all was to no avail.

Roar!!

A heaven-shaking roar erupted from the mouth of the massive Ghost Immortal in the space above the mountain; the malicious intent within the roar seemed almost tangible.

Following the roar, the Immortal Vine below also reacted, its lashing force surging instantly and flinging back the Power of the Immortal Cauldron stimulated by Yang Jiu Huan and Li Zhengyang. But in the face of the Green Reed Sword, it could still not withstand a single strike.
