But for Han Yi, there was a difference.

With the suppression of a more powerful Ancient God System and the aid of the Proficiency Panel, he wouldn’t face the peril of losing his mind. By following the second branch of cultivation, he could achieve even greater might.

Gathering his scattered thoughts.

Han Yi reviewed the method of refining provided by Xuan Cheng once more. After confirming there were no more issues, he began refining the Ancient Demon Heart Stone.

His consciousness connected to the Evil Sea, a stream of demonic power flowed out, leaving his body and falling onto the suspended Ancient Demon Heart Stone before his eyes.

His demonic power, gained from cultivating the Ghost True Body, was inherently black in color. It landed on the equally black heart stone, causing an immediate change.

Above the Ancient Demon Heart Stone, a strange luminescence emerged, which then accepted Han Yi’s demonic power.

Unperturbed, Han Yi continued to emit demonic power, constantly pouring it into the Ancient Demon Heart Stone. As time passed, at a certain moment, the stone in front of him trembled. His consciousness broke through a barrier, revealing the vast Demon Spirit Realm within the heart stone. At the core of the Demon Spirit Realm, there was a mysterious phantom.

The phantom had nine heads and nine tails, an incredibly fearsome sight.

With just a glance, Han Yi felt a surge of ferocity rushing toward him from across the Demon Spirit Realm.

This phantom was the core of this Ancient Demon Heart Stone, and the last imprint of the Ancient Evil that had created it.

Han Yi could not recognize what this Ancient Evil was called, but he attempted to touch this imprint with his demonic power.

In a trance, he seemed to see an enormous Ancient Evil roaming the wild world, dominating the heavens and the earth, swallowing galaxies.

The vision flickered. This Ancient Evil had fought countless battles, slain innumerable beings; among them were Ancient Immortals, Ancient Evils, Ancient Gods, and various Wild Beasts. These acts of slaughter established its formidable reputation.

In one deadly battle, the Ancient Evil became involved in a higher-level conflict and was injured by the residual effects. It escaped with severe injuries and, before perishing, condensed all of its blood essence into this Ancient Demon Heart Stone.

The vision abruptly ended. It was silent but transported Han Yi back to the barbaric era of the Extreme Ancient and Primordial Times, a time when the Ten Thousand Clans struggled for survival.

Coming back to his senses, Han Yi continued to feed his demonic power into the stone. As he was about to exhaust his power, the inheritance of this Ancient Evil finally unveiled its mysterious veil before him.

His eyes snapped open, a burst of joy appeared as he murmured,

“Ancient Evil, Huang Li.”

…

While Han Yi was refining the Ancient Demon Heart Stone, the battleground between the two races was once again in turmoil.

First, a battle at the Immortal Monarch Level erupted in the Sacred Spirit Mountain Range. Three unfamiliar Evil Kings appeared, jointly attacking the Original Art Immortal Monarch. The heavily injured and fleeing Demon Ape Great Sage, previously trapped, broke free. In a rage, the Demon Ape Great Sage pursued the Original Art Immortal Monarch all the way through the Lingyuan Divine Realm and into the Knowing Heaven Immortal Realm, where he encountered other Immortal Monarchs who finally repelled him.

Meanwhile.

On the fringes of other Immortal Monarch-level battlefields, many unfamiliar Immortal Monarch-level members of the Demon Race appeared, including several powerful beings equivalent to Great Sages.

These Immortal Monarch-level members of the Demon Race seemed to emerge out of nowhere. No matter how much they were investigated, there were no traces of their pasts, as if they did not belong to the Daluo Demon Race but came from beyond the realms.

The strategic retreat following defeats in battles at the Immortal Monarch level caused the frontlines to be pushed back to their original positions, and even the Age Candle side was persistently pushed back.

Within Silver Lake Immortal City.

Before Han Yi could finish refining the heart stone of the Ancient Evil Huang Li, he was interrupted by Sound Saint, who informed him of the situation.

“The sudden appearance of so many unfamiliar Immortal Monarchs means the Immortal Court is getting ready to reestablish the battlefronts. The frontlines our Original Art Dojo is responsible for can only abandon the Lingyuan Divine Realm. We might even temporarily give up the Knowing Heaven Immortal Realm and fortify ourselves at the boundary of the Original Art Immortal Domain.”

“Han, the Immortal Court has ordered that we set off immediately to retreat back to the Original Art Immortal Domain.”

“As for Silver Lake Immortal City, it shall follow afterward.”

The tone of Sound Saint, a Profound Immortal, was quite heavy and shock was visible in her eyes.

“It’s said that not only our battlefront but also those of Luotian and Imperial Cliff in the Immortal Court have encountered many mysterious Immortal Monarchs from the Demon Race.”

“No wonder the Donghuang Evil Court dares to initiate a war between the two races across three fronts.”

“The Donghuang Evil Court originally had only one hundred and eight Evil Kings. Excluding the twenty-odd Evil Kings counted as having died in the Expedition to the Wisdom Realm, there should be no more than ninety at most.”

“But according to reports, thirty-six unfamiliar Evil Kings appeared out of nowhere on our Age Candle frontline alone.”

“Adding those of Luotian and Imperial Cliff, it definitely exceeds one hundred, meaning the number of Demon Race’s Demon Monarchs has at least doubled.”

“That is just the number that has been exposed so far.”

“What if not only the number of Demon Monarchs has doubled for the Demon Race but the number of Immortal Venerates as well?”

As she spoke, even with her stature as a Profound Immortal, Sound Saint involuntarily shivered, feeling a chill within.

“We can’t delay. We must leave immediately, right now.”

Han Yi stood up, his expression equally grave, “Alright, we set off immediately.”

“`

In such a large-scale Immortal Fight, there were no rules restricting combatants to their own ranks; if an Evil Clan Immortal Monarch were to strike and flatten Silver Lake Immortal City directly, he would have no way to escape.

Furthermore, having slain Yuan Jingtian of the Evil Clan, the Demon Ape Great Sage would certainly not let the matter rest. Once the news spread, if the Demon Ape Great Sage personally appeared, all he could do was meet his fate.

With this thought, a chill went through Han Yi’s heart. With a flick of his sleeve, he stepped out of the Immortal Tower. Outside the tower, Xuan Cheng stood in mid-air, waiting for him.

“Let’s go.”

The Sound Saint, a Profound Immortal who had emerged first from the Immortal Tower, said, heading towards the direction of the Original Art Immortal Domain with Han Yi and Xuan Cheng following closely behind.

As for Silver Lake Immortal City, it would be taken care of by the immortals of the city. Those who wished to flee would naturally follow; those who chose not to flee, even if they mobilized the Immortal Court’s forces, it would be of no help.

On the journey, Han Yi was filled with anxiety as things began to develop in the direction he least wanted.

However.

When he had set up the sixth-order Immortal Array in the Green Shu Mountain Range, he had already discussed with several elders of the Xuandan Sect. If the battle line had to be moved back and the situation became untenable, the Xuandan Sect must not rely on luck to hold their ground but should immediately relocate.

Though losing the Green Shu Mountain Range that they had managed for hundreds of years was possible to recover, if the disciples of the sect perished, there would be no chance of salvation.

In short, as long as the green hills are there, one need not fear a lack of firewood.

The elders of the Xuandan Sect had no objections, after all, the Xuandan Sect had precedents for such relocations. This was not the first time the sect had moved; to this day, it had happened three times already, and they were quite proficient in the process.

Neither Lian Tingxi, Zhuge Wu You, Shen Ping, nor He Fengdi opposed the idea.

The current situation, with the spontaneous increase of Evil Clan Immortal Monarchs forcing the Age Candle Immortal Court to cede several Immortal Domains, was not a rout but a strategic maneuver for better defense.

But the Evil Clan was menacing. As the Sound Saint said, if the Evil Clan suddenly brought in several unfamiliar Immortal Venerates, even the most stable battle lines could easily collapse, leaving only the original site of the Immortal Court to defend.

By then, the vast Age Candle Immortal Court, with its dozens of Immortal Domains, would have fallen prey to the Evil Clan; if the Xuandan Sect did not flee, they would be left at the enemy’s mercy.

Thoughts flashing through his mind, Han Yi finally sighed inwardly.

Weak.

Still too weak.

Although he possessed the combat power of a Golden Immortal and was capable of battling even a seasoned Golden Immortal with all his might, his role in this inter-clan battlefield was extremely limited; he could make a difference locally, but on a grand scale, it was insignificant.

The three of them moved with great speed, but while retreating towards the Original Art Dojo, they passed a plain and saw from afar a terrifying battlefield.

This battlefield stretched tens of thousands of kilometers, with ceaseless immortal melodies and Evil roars, collapsing space and destroying mountain ranges.

“It’s a Golden Immortal battlefield.”

“We should go around.”

Light flashed in Sound Saint’s eyes, not stopping for a moment, her figure swerved, attempting to bypass from the side.

But just then.

A voice suddenly penetrated the minds of the three, and at the same time, a huge Demonic body soared across the sky, sweeping towards them.

“It’s Han Yi of the Age Candle.”

“Haha, that’s right, it really is you.”

“My luck is truly good. The reward offered by the Demon Ape Great Sage includes a sixth-order Immortal Artifact. I’ve struck it rich.”

That demonic body was hundreds of meters tall, and in less than half a breath, it was already within a hundred miles.

Sound Saint turned towards the voice, her face changing greatly.

“It’s the Camelopard Demon Race.”

“Not good, such a powerful aura, it’s a seasoned Golden Immortal.”

As her expression changed, she instinctively looked towards Han Yi.

Although she was ranked sixth on the Profound Immortal List and had a good chance of winning against ordinary Golden Immortals, against a seasoned Golden Immortal, she could only flee for her life, and whether she could survive was still uncertain.

However, the combat strength Han Yi had shown outside Silver Lake Immortal City made her feel that, if Han Yi took action, perhaps he could fight this Evil Immortal.

Han Yi’s eyes flickered. He glanced over the battlefield, pointed to one side, and spoke quickly, “This Camelopard Evil Immortal’s target is me. You guys take this path and head back to the Original Art Immortal Domain first,”

“I’ll take another path and lead this Camelopard Evil Immortal away.”

“Don’t worry, even if I can’t defeat it, I can still escape.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Han Yi’s figure flashed, his feet shimmering with golden light, speeding away into the distance.
