Seventh-order.

This was indeed the Human Emperor Sword that had reached the seventh-order Immortal Artifact.

In the year when Gu Shu Immortal City of the Daqian Immortal Country was transformed into the Demon Domain and the entire Immortal City uprooted and ascended, the Human Emperor Sword had come from the north with a single slash, severing National Guardian Duke Pang Cheng, who had fallen into demonhood, cutting off his Demonic Immortal Path as well.

At that time, Han Yi happened to be outside the Gu Shu Immortal City and witnessed the splendor of that northbound slash, spawning reverence in his heart.

Yet, at that time, the Human Emperor Sword was at most a Half-immortal Item or perhaps a degraded first-stage Immortal Artifact–certainly not the seventh-order Immortal Artifact it was now.

Clearly, over the years, not only had Qin Yi undergone a complete transformation, but so had the Human Emperor Sword itself.

Han Yi withdrew his gaze and quickly caught up, while a sudden thought stirred within him.

The transformation of the Human Emperor Sword and the merging and division of the Qingping Sword in his possession, evolving into a higher order Immortal Sword, bore a consonance in their peculiar effects.

Could it be that the Human Emperor Sword possessed its own Divided Sword?

This thought was fleeting and immediately suppressed by Han Yi, for in his years of gathering information, there had been nothing of that sort, and most likely, the ascension of the Human Emperor Sword was different from that of the Qingping Sword.

A moment later.

Standing beside a tranquil mountain palace, both figures stood beside the Cloud Sea, their robes flapping in the wind, faces alight with joy at seeing an old friend.

Han Yi asked Qin Yi where he had been over the years, to which Qin Yi did not give a detailed answer, glossing it over briefly.

“The Nine Ancient Realms. I have visited three worlds in these years,” Qin Yi said.

Han Yi informed him of the Yu Heng World within the Chaos Demon Area being merged into the Immortal Realm and asked about his plans–whether to return to the Beidou Immortal Palace or perhaps to return to Yu Heng World to rebuild the Immortal Country.

However, Qin Yi shook his head, “Next, I will find a place to overcome the Taiyi Tribulation, and then, I shall traverse the Nine Realms.”

Turning to look at Han Yi, he commented, “Han, you truly are a talented genius, advancing rapidly to the peak of Profound Immortal, and your combat power has even stepped into the senior Golden Immortal Realm, renowned throughout Daluo.”

“Congratulations are in order,” he stated.

Han Yi waved his hand dismissingly. In front of Qin Yi, he felt insufficient.

In terms of realm, he was only at the peak of Profound Immortal, but Qin Yi was at the extreme limit of Golden Immortal, half a step into the Taiyi Immortal Monarch realm–they were incomparable.

Suddenly remembering something, Han Yi uttered the eight characters he had obtained from an ordinary piece of paper earlier.

Given Qin Yi’s profound realm, he must know more secrets than Han Yi, and since Qin Yi was also present there, perhaps he knew the meaning of those eight characters.

“Chaotic Heaven Punishment, seeking life through the Tao Tomb.”

Qin Yi’s expression darkened, his deep eyes inscrutable, revealing no emotion.

Han Yi’s eyes suddenly brightened. Qin Yi’s grave reaction, rather than confusion, to these words signified that he knew their meaning.

He looked at Qin Yi with bright eyes.

Qin Yi paused and explained, “These words refer to the tribulation of the Tao Tomb, a calamity that sweeps through the entire Chaos.”

“The Extreme Ancient World, the Origin Wisdom World, even the entire Fuheng Taoist Area appear trivial in the face of this calamity.”

“I do not know when this catastrophe will erupt,” he admitted.

“But given how urgently the Sacrificers act, it must be drawing near.”

Sighing lightly, as if speaking to Han Yi as well as to himself, Qin Yi remarked,

“Time, is running out.”

Saying this, he suddenly looked up, an unbelievably powerful aura bursting forth, and the Human Emperor Sword on his back thrummed with purple-gold sword intention.

“They’re here.”

“Hmph, truly incorrigible.”

Without turning around, he left Han Yi with a parting remark.

“Han, your progress is fast, but still, it is not enough, nowhere near enough.”

“The next time I see you, I hope you bring me more surprises.”

After these words, he soared into the sky, and around the serene Immortal Mountain Palace, three tremendous demonic auras burst forth, converging in attack.

Qin Yi, who was ascending, suddenly drew his sword and struck out with a slash.

This strike was not the casual one which had claimed the lives of several peak Golden Immortals earlier, but a full force blow from the seventh-order Human Emperor Sword.

The sword intention tore through space, penetrated yin and yang, landing amidst a mighty demonic aura.

A mournful cry erupted, and a massive seven-tailed demon fox, like a kite with its string cut, plummeted to the ground.

Qin Yi, having delivered the strike, was already hurtling towards a certain direction.

The other two even more terrifying owners of demonic auras roared in anger, giving chase.

After they had departed.

This Immortal Mountain had just been struck by a terrifying spiritual energy storm, where sword intentions and demonic Qi were mixed together, creating a scene of chaos and disorder.

Amidst the chaotic and disorderly demonic Qi, Han Yi, cloaked with gray-black radiance, swiftly descended below, gathering the bisected body of the fox demon into his Divine Aperture World.

Transforming into a streak of golden light, he swiftly headed out towards the outskirts of Blazing Flame Immortal City.

The fox demon killed by Qin Yi with a single sword strike, which he had collected into his Divine Aperture World, was not an ordinary Evil Immortal but the previously glimpsed Red Fox Demon King who had appeared after his entry into Blazing Flame Immortal City.

Although this scarlet demon king ranked towards the lower end among the Eastern Emperor Demon Lords, a Demon King is still a Demon King, far from something a Golden Immortal could compare with.

A Golden Immortal could only establish an Immortal Sect. In contrast, a Demon King could build a Dojo.

In terms of status, within the forces of the Immortal Courts, only those at the level of Taiyi Immortal Monarch could be considered high-ranking.

Therefore.

The corpse of a Demon King was worth the risk for Han Yi.

And the moment he dashed out to snatch the fox demon’s corpse was decided in the blink of an eye, even quicker decision than a spark igniting flint.

That single thought even overshadowed the shock Qin Yi had given him.

Only when he had fled thousands of miles away from the site of the sudden Immortal Monarch level battlefield, did he calm down, his heart began pounding wildly, and his face turned beet red from the intense shock and thrill.

Shocking? Yes, shocking. Qin Yi, with the body of a Golden Immortal and the Human Emperor Sword at the seventh order, had cut down an Eastern Emperor Demon Lord in one strike; any Immortal would be shaken by this.

Exciting? Yes, exciting. Here was a Demon King’s corpse, lying right before him, snatched and fled with, how could it not be thrilling?

He put away Eternal True Realm and instead used the Mental Realm Immortal Skill at the fourth stage. Then, he fled Blazing Flame Immortal City and returned to Xuanling Immortal City, before taking the Transmission Array back to Age Candle.

Once at Age Candle, ensuring he would not be drawn into the pursuit of Demon Race’s Demon Monarch level existences, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was then that he began to recall the things that had transpired within the Immortal Mountain Palace.

In that fleeting glimpse, he was able to recognize those three massive demonic Qi; aside from the Red Fox Demon King, the other two were the Celestial Tiger Demon King and the Fire Lion Demon Monarch.

Although these two Demon Kings were also ordinary Demon Kings, they were still more powerful than the Red Fox Demon King, with the Fire Lion Demon Monarch being a descendant of the Camelopard Great Sovereign.

These three Demon Kings originally planned to strike down Qin Yi, but Qin Yi discovered them first. Reacting quickly, he drew his sword and struck one down with full force before escaping.

Knowing this, it is safe to assume there was already enmity between Qin Yi and these three Eastern Emperor Demon Lords, likely due to an immediate grudge formed in Blazing Flame Immortal City, such as fighting over a certain treasure.

Furthermore, judging by the actions of these three Demon Kings, they had already suffered defeats and setbacks at the hands of Qin Yi before.

All of these were naturally due to Qin Yi’s strength.

As a peak Golden Immortal wielding the seventh order Human Emperor Sword, he cut down an Eastern Emperor Demon King.

Strong, incredibly strong.

Han Yi still felt the aftermath as he recalled that moment.

In terms of strength, he really did not measure up to Qin Yi.

After taking a deep breath and calming his mind, he then reconsidered the words spoken by Qin Yi just before his explosive action.

“A Tao Tomb calamity, sweeping across Chaos?”

“Indeed, the Ferry Grave Taoist Boat is meant to cross over ‘tombs,’ and the ‘tomb’ here, according to Qin Yi’s words, refers to ‘Tao Tomb’.”

“The Fuheng Taoist Area?”

“This must encompass a large region including the Nine Ancient Realms and the Origin Wisdom World, its dimension likely being Chaos itself.”

“Then, aside from the Fuheng Taoist Area, there must also be other Taoist Areas.”

“The immense calamity is nearing, and there’s not much time?”

“This…”

Suddenly, Han Yi felt a sense of crisis and urgency welling up inside him.

Even someone as powerful as Qin Yi talked about limited time, indicating that the crisis was nearing.

“Not much time, not much time.”

“According to what the Taiyuan Divine Blade said, Sacrificers generally do not dare to confront Tao Contrarians, yet the Sacrificer who established the Blazing Flame Tao Court has, to a certain extent, snatched the achievements of a Tao Contrarian.”

“This indicates the Sacrificer is in a hurry.”

“And Taiyi Tao Ancestor’s ascension to sovereignty did not claim more Immortal Domains, merely enough to halt a crisis to some extent, also showing a sense of urgency.”

“Going back further, the disappearance of the Ancestor, including the expedition to the Wisdom Realm and the disturbances in the Wisdom Realm, could they also be related to this calamitous event in Chaos?”

The more Han Yi thought about it, the more certain he became.

Too many things have happened in the Daluo Immortal Realm in the last thousand years.

Now, looking back at those major events, they all seem rushed, somewhat off-kilter.

With this realization, Han Yi dared not continue his train of thought any further. Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the tremors in his heart.
