Crack!

The silver radiance that pierced through Su Yan Immortal Monarch was none other than a fragment of the Heavenly Demon Halberd, but this fragment of the Tao Artifact, which had accompanied Han Yi for over a thousand years, finally shattered when it penetrated the Immortal Monarch’s skull, utterly disintegrating under the force of the counter-shock.

After all, this was an Immortal Monarch, whose Immortal Body had been perfectly tempered due to the completion of their rules, tens of times more powerful than a Golden Immortal. That it could penetrate his skull was the pinnacle of the fragment’s combat power.

In fact, even before this, the fragment of the Heavenly Demon Halberd had been close to breaking; it already bore several cracks. This time, it could be said to have “died a proper death.”

Han Yi had anticipated the fragment’s inevitable destruction upon the appearance of the cracks, recognizing that its demonstrated strength was at its limit when facing an ordinary Immortal Monarch.

With one arm severed, the lower half of his body annihilated by Divine Force, his skull penetrated, and his Immortal Soul slain, the voice that had escaped from Su Yan Immortal Monarch, abruptly ceased.

But at that same instant, Han Yi felt no joy from his exploit, for a chilling sense of danger suddenly emerged from the recently deceased Su Yan.

This peril was intangible and immaterial, but Han Yi was aware of its presence, an instinctual intuition comparable to that of an Immortal Monarch.

Han Yi burst backward in retreat.

However, he immediately stopped because the chilling danger was not targeted at him, and was quickly diminishing; the intangible threat was receding.

Just as his heart was about to relax, the Proficiency Panel directly flashed a line of pale red text.

[Wan Ming Tome (Nether Slave Demigod Volume 71/100)].

Then, in the blink of an eye, the text began to flicker and change.

[Wan Ming Tome (Nether Slave Demigod Volume 73/100)].

This indicated that his practice of the Wan Ming Tome, which had reached the seventh layer, was advancing rapidly, jumping from 70/100 to 81/100 in a single breath.

Looking at the Wan Ming Tome fixed at 81/100 and then back at the deceased Su Yan Immortal Monarch, Han Yi realized what had just happened.

Su Yan was a Wan Ming Incarnation, and he too practiced the Wan Ming Tome. Although Han Yi did not know if it was the same as the Nether Slave Volume he was practicing, there was no doubt they shared the same origin.

Su Yan’s death at this location and the dangerous aura discovered on him had something to do with the Wan Ming Tome. Han Yi’s Realm being too low, he only sensed the risk but not its nature.

But as he retreated, his Proficiency Panel immediately captured this fluctuation, using it to elevate the level of his Wan Ming Tome practice.

This was an unprecedented event in nearly two thousand years of his cultivation, taking him several breaths to comprehend fully.

“Plunder.”

“This is akin to plundering the cultivation of the Wan Ming Tome.”

“No, not cultivation. Su Yan was an Immortal Monarch; the Wan Ming Tome he practiced must be of a higher tier, not the Demigod Volume.”

“It’s as if his Wan Ming cultivation acted as fuel to power my own practice of the Wan Ming Tome, transforming it to advance my Tome from the seventh to the eighth layer.”

“An entire layer of the Wan Ming Tome; based on previous conjectures, I would need two hundred years to progress from the seventh to the eighth layer.”

“This incident implies that, should I kill another Wan Ming Incarnation, my cultivation of the Wan Ming Tome could continue to plunder and advance even further.”

“This is indeed a good… opportunity.”

Han Yi sighed with emotion.

To go from the eighth to the ninth layer, he estimated it would take a thousand years, and to break through from the ninth to the tenth layer, it would need nearly ten thousand years.

If he could expedite this lengthy process by killing Wan Ming Incarnations, or even achieve it directly, nothing could be better.

Han Yi burned Su Yan Immortal Monarch’s body to ashes with divine fire, ensuring complete disappearance.

Then, he plundered the entire highest floor of the palace before leisurely departing. On his departure, he concealed his form with Spirit Concealment, unseen by anyone.

Three days after he had left, a Golden Immortal, due to an urgent matter, made his way to Su Yan Immortal Monarch’s palace but found no trace of the Immortal Monarch. Assuming Su Yan had left on business, he thought nothing of it.

Only years later, when Su Yan had not returned, did the cultivators gathering at Taisu Mountain begin to sense something amiss and entertain unusual thoughts.

Of course, all this was of no concern to Han Yi.

After departing Taisu Palace, he headed directly west; his destination was the Luotian Immortal Court.

This trip was both to complete the task assigned by Daoling Immortal Sovereign and to kill another Wan Ming Incarnation, and also to acquire one of the Four Fiendish Sword Qi he planned on obtaining, the Fenming Sword Qi.

And Fenming Sword Qi was the trademark Sword Qi of Fenming Immortal Monarch of Luotian Immortal Court. Han Yi planned to visit the Immortal Court in person, to meet Fenming Immortal Monarch and obtain a strand of Sword Qi.

Although he lacked an invitation from Original Art Immortal Monarch, he didn’t lack the courage to seek a strand of Sword Qi from the Immortal Court on his own.

If the other party refused, he could consider other Sword Qi; if the other party agreed, whatever their demands might be, he was willing to negotiate. Han Yi believed in his equivalence with the demands and was prepared to accept them. If he couldn’t fulfill them, he would simply turn around and leave.

Proluo Immortal City was a giant Immortal City acting as a transportation hub outside Heavenly Immortal City.

Upon arriving from the Transmission Array of Proluo Immortal City, Han Yi went straight to the Immortal Court. Reaching the edge of the Immortal Court, he presented his identity token and announced his intention to meet Fenming Immortal Monarch, then he waited.

The Immortal Court, naturally, was not closed off; whenever someone came to visit, there was a specialized institution for preliminary screening before allowing entry into the Immortal Court.

Han Yi’s identity was not simple; he was currently ranked first in the Age Candle Immortal Court’s Golden Immortal List and had been confirmed to possess the combat power of an Immortal Monarch. With talent and strength top-notch among his peers, he was given due importance.
