But the moment the runes appeared, Han Yi had already taken a light step forward, his Immortal Power surging wildly, with Golden Light vibrating and the Eternal True Realm imbued in his body, and his Fourth-stage Mental Realm Immortal Skill finally breaking through to the Fifth-stage at this moment.

He didn’t have time to look carefully, it seemed that his step not only traversed space but even time itself seemed to have frozen.

The next instant, he appeared in front of the Heavenly Demon with the severed palm as if he had teleported.

He had been waiting for this exact moment.

This Heavenly Demon, who used blood to cast black runes, was his primary target. Over three hundred years ago, Han Yi had to burn his Life Seeds to break free; upon reviewing the encounter, he concluded that the best time to attack was right when the black runes were cast but not yet fully activated.

This opportunity required extreme speed, to cut down the Demon before it could react; once the Demon was dead, the runes would dissipate on their own.

Stacking his Supreme State and Profound Immortal Realm-speed, Han Yi felt there was a sliver of a chance. He also did not expect his long-stagnant Mental Realm Immortal Skill to suddenly break through to the Fifth-stage.

The leap from Fourth-stage to Fifth-stage was a rise in level, bringing substantial improvement to this Immortal Skill.

Moreover, according to the progression of the Infant Morphing, Han Yi was looking forward to new changes in his Mental Realm Immortal Skill.

Before he could observe more, he was already in front of the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon had not yet reacted when a sword entered his field of vision. As it began using its demonic power, it only saw a flash of Sword Light and its head flew off. The body paused for a moment before dispersing in all directions, its scattered demonic power rampaging within the body, quickly morphing into a huge Evil Clan’s true form.

The severed head also burst its mask and transformed into an Evil Clan head.

Han Yi did not have the time to closely examine which race the Heavenly Demon belonged to and took another step, vanishing from his original spot.

In terms of the time dimension, he threw a sword, shattered the Immortal Mirror, took a step and disappeared, arrived in front of the Heavenly Demon, caught the Green Reed Sword, swung it to decapitate the Demon, and took another step.

The second step followed the first without a gap, as if he had anticipated it beforehand, with everything under his control.

At the same time he shattered the Immortal Mirror and cut down the Demon.

The other four Golden Immortals also made their moves.

One of them was a Sword Immortal, his Nine Immortal Swords penetrating the Void, forming a Sword Formation heading straight for Han Yi. But Han Yi’s speed was extreme; before the Sword Formation could close in, he took his second step and vanished, leaving the Sword Formation to grind the Demon Corpse into dust.

Another, also exuding the same peak Heavenly Demon aura, wielded a heavy hammer and struck the Void forcefully, with thunderbolts shooting from nowhere, spreading in all directions, forks of lightning spreading out, aiming for Han Yi’s previous position, but Han Yi, with his breakthrough in Immortal Skill, narrowly dodged it.

Of the remaining two, one was a gracefully shaped Female Immortal, shaking her Nine-colored Bell, with the sound of the Immortal tuning spreading and echoing in the Void.

When Han Yi took his second step, he reached where Jin Ming Taoist had vanished, but suddenly, his heart tightened, alarm bells ringing within. With another step, he disappeared from the spot.

Before he disappeared, his sword had cut through the space ahead of him.

After he disappeared, the resonating Immortal music arrived at his original location, but it couldn’t touch him as he had dodged it.

When the third step fell, he didn’t look at the results of his sword strike but at the source of the previous danger–a Female Immortal shaking the Nine-colored Bell, wearing a rune mask and gracefully shaped. However, the sense of danger Han Yi felt from her was far from trivial, and if the opportunity was right, he would not hold back.

Tens of miles away, the Female Immortal shaking the bell suddenly looked at the fourth Golden Immortal, her meaning couldn’t be more clear–the target was too fast, and without restraint, the variables would be greater.

The fourth Tian Gang Golden Immortal appeared to be an adult, yet his stature was similar to a child of about ten years old, a dwarf, with a mask smaller than the others on his face.

The Dwarf Golden Immortal had not acted from the beginning, or rather, he didn’t have the chance to act before Han Yi had shattered the Immortal Mirror and killed the Demon, as well as avoiding the attacks of the Sword Immortal and the heavy hammer, not letting the Immortal music from the Female Immortal’s bell touch him.

When the Female Immortal looked at him, he knew he had to act, although the timing wasn’t right, the target was troublesome, and he had to launch a strong attack.

The Dwarf Golden Immortal didn’t attack immediately but took out a puppet and pressed his finger into the puppet’s heart before pulling it out and pointing it at Han Yi.

What was bizarre was that when he pulled out his finger, it was covered in black blood, and after he had prodded the puppet, it started to twitch.

This eerie scene was only observed by him.

But suddenly, the Dwarf Golden Immortal’s expression under the mask changed drastically, as his chest began to be pressed by an invisible force, as if he had turned into the puppet, on the verge of following the puppet’s fate, about to have his heart pierced.

“No good, I can’t hold him.”

“He’s too fast.”

A raspy, anxious, and aged voice came from beneath the Dwarf Golden Immortal’s mask.

This was the first time any of the Tian Gang Golden Immortals had spoken since they appeared.

“`

The Dwarf Golden Immortal formed a seal, and the twitching puppet in his hand quickly turned to flying ash, vanishing from sight.

The anomaly at the location of his heart also disappeared rapidly.

This was because he had severed the connection with the puppet, rendering it ineffective.

It should be noted that this puppet was a one-time use Sixth-stage Immortal Artifact, and it was mysterious and elusive. With his capabilities, it would take him a full hundred years to create just one.

If Han Yi had not been fast enough, he would have been bound to the puppet, and subsequently, if the Dwarf Golden Immortal killed the puppet, Han Yi, too, would have died.

But if the binding failed, the backlash would fall upon him, with all changes occurring to the puppet being reflected upon him. Only by erasing this mysterious puppet could he interrupt its effects.

Elsewhere.

After taking his third step, Han Yi sensed another deadly danger. This time, it was even more lethal, and without the time to do anything else, he stepped out once again.

Before taking this step, from the corner of his eye, Han Yi saw the scene beneath the black curtain he had just split with a single sword strike.

Below the black curtain, there was another Immortal Array. However, this Immortal Array did not isolate space. Inside the array, Jin Ming Taoist was striking with all his might, but he was restrained by three Tian Gang Golden Immortals within the array. Once he broke through to the outside, he was instantly teleported back to the middle of the Immortal Array.

From this scene, it could be seen that although Jin Ming Taoist was trapped, he was not in immediate danger of falling.

Seeing this, Han Yi could not help but exhale softly.

He continued to display his movement technique, changing positions, shuttling through space, and he also found that the Immortal Sound shockwaves emitted by the Female Immortal were not very extensive. As long as he kept changing positions, he would not be enveloped by them.

Moreover, he could look for opportunities to counter-kill.

When he neared that Sword Immortal, he swung out with a single sword strike, severing the Sixth-stage Immortal Sword in the Sword Immortal’s hand into two halves. The Immortal Sword whimpered, the Sword Immortal was injured by the Sword Qi of the Green Reed Sword, his arm severed, fleeing in terror.

The remaining four Golden Immortals trembled in body and mind.

Just at this moment.

A cold snort pierced through the void.

“Trash.”

After this cold snort sounded, the four Tian Gang Killers on the scene withdrew their methods and respectfully retreated a distance.

Han Yi, however, no longer shifted his position but his expression turned solemn. At the same time, his body began to swell because from the inherent authority in that cold snort, he knew that the being approaching was no longer a Golden Immortal, but indeed…

…an Immortal Monarch.

Within the Black Realm, beneath the Realm Master, there are twenty-eight Star Lords, each one of whom is an Immortal Monarch or more.

That is to say, the one about to strike him was an Immortal Monarch.

Although he had imagined countless times in his heart how he would deal with an Immortal Monarch, when it came down to it, Han Yi was still extremely nervous.

It is known that every Immortal Monarch could establish a dojo. The difficulty of advancing from a Golden Immortal to an Immortal Monarch is countless times harder than cultivating from a mortal to a True Immortal.

In the Age Candle Immortal Court, tens of thousands of Golden Immortals–if ten were to break through to Immortal Monarch, it would be considered a tremendous stroke of luck.

As a Profound Immortal facing an Immortal Monarch, no matter how many methods one had, it was difficult to bridge the vast gap between them.

However, Han Yi was different.

He cultivated in three paths simultaneously; he had reached the pinnacle of Profound Immortal both in the ways of the Ancient Gods and the Immortal Path. Moreover, he possessed an immensely powerful Ancient God Weapon. With a determined effort, he believed he could shake his opponent.

As he began to transform.

A figure in a black robe with a face bearing the illusory pattern of the starry sky emerged from nothingness, with each step spanning an unimaginably vast distance.

On the face of this figure, the starry pattern illuminated only one star.

If an Immortal Monarch familiar with the ranks of the Black Realm Star Lords was present, they would know that this signified a One-Star Star Lord. Although this ranks at the bottom among the Star Lords, without a doubt, he was an Immortal Monarch.
