Chapter 1374 - Chapter 1374 Chapter 576 Ancient Evil Devours Crystal

Chapter 1374: Chapter 576: Ancient Evil Devours Crystal, Mysterious Phoenix Feather Chapter 1374: Chapter 576: Ancient Evil Devours Crystal, Mysterious Phoenix Feather Before the incense stick had burnt down,

Han Yi descended into a particular hole and discovered that these channel spaces were not small; in fact, they could even be called vast.

It was not difficult to understand, after all, these holes were meant to accommodate the travel of the Abyss Demon Clan, and because members of the Abyss Demon Clan were immense in size, the holes had to be spacious enough to avoid crowding.

The cross-sectional area of these holes even exceeded the size of some Immortal Cities in the Immortal Realm.

Though referred to as holes, in reality, they were not so simple; this characterization only arose when they were compared in the context of thousands of channels.

The corridors were gloomy, deep, magical, and eerie.

The pervasive scent of demonic contamination hung in the air. If a lower-tier cultivator were to step inside, they would instantaneously be assimilated, transformed into a mindless Demonic Being.

Even a True Immortal entering would have to use all their Immortal Power to resist the contamination, to prevent infection.

Of course,

For Han Yi, this demonically contaminated air was utterly useless. Without the need for protective Immortal or Divine Skills, the aura emanating from his Physical Body alone was enough to shatter the contamination, not allowing it to even approach him.

The passage was vast, but for him, who had already reached the combat power of an Immortal Monarch, it took but a few breaths’ time to reach the end.

As expected, the end of the corridor was sealed and did not lead directly into the depths of the Demon Nest.

Han Yi stood at the end of the corridor, his Heavenly Fate Divine Pupil radiating golden light. Quickly, he discovered a Crystal Stone the size of a fist deeply embedded in the dark space of the wall.

The wall of this space was formed from condensed Demon Energy, exceptionally hard.

But this was no obstacle for one with the strength of an Immortal Monarch.

He effortlessly used the Green Reed Sword to dig out the wall space and retrieved the black Crystal Stone.

As he examined the hovering black Crystal Stone, Han Yi used an Immortal Skill to identify it, confirming beyond doubt that it was a Demon Crystal.

Detecting a Demon Crystal was not challenging, for each one was a crystal formed by Demon Energy under the guidance of Tao Principles. Intrinsically, it was still Demon Energy, but the quantity and quality were beyond imagination, possessing unbelievable effects.

After identifying it as a Demon Crystal, Han Yi was about to put it away when suddenly, something stirred in his heart, and he paused.

He felt a longing emanating from his Beast Mastery space.

As his mind delved into the Beast Mastery space he had created in the Immortal Spirit Realm, Han Yi saw a giant Primordial Fire Phoenix, crying out to him with an urgent plea in its cry.

This very Fire Phoenix was the one he had encountered in the Eastern Emperor Domain after crossing the Barren Fold Mountains, suspected to be one of the Eastern Emperor Unique’s manifestations.

This Fire Phoenix had drawn close to Han Yi because of the Divine Power he carried.

After planting the mark of beast mastery, Han Yi had kept it within the Beast Mastery space, feeding it Divine Power.

Over the course of several hundred years, the Fire Phoenix had continuously absorbed Divine Force from his Divine Aperture world, consuming volumes so staggering that even Han Yi was shocked.

With the bountiful Divine Force from the bottom of Jade Lake, Han Yi never cut off the supply.

After many years, besides the craving for Divine Force, the Fire Phoenix had no other desires and remained unharmed. Its aura, imperceptibly, reached the peak level of a Heavenly Demon, which is also the Peak Realm of a Golden Immortal.

Han Yi began to question his previous assumption upon encountering the Fire Phoenix. Perhaps, this Fire Phoenix wasn’t one of the Eastern Emperor Unique’s manifestations and had been merely encountered by chance.

Unexpectedly, in this Abyssal Demon Nest, after he unearthed an Abyssal Demon Crystal, the Fire Phoenix reacted.

This was the second time it had shown any reaction besides the demand for Divine Power.

“Do you want it?” Han Yi asked. The Fire Phoenix nodded and let out a soft cry.

What he didn’t see was that as the Fire Phoenix nodded, a hint of wisdom flickered in its eyes, as if it was on the verge of a breakthrough.

In the depths of the corridor, Han Yi gently waved his hand and released the Primordial Fire Phoenix from the Beast Mastery space.

As soon as the Fire Phoenix emerged, it swallowed the floating Demon Crystal in midair without hesitation. Then, with a soul-stirring, exuberant cry, the Phoenix sang, its voice rising skyward, climbing in crescendo and shaking the Universe.

The entire hole corridor, filled with the haze of demonic contamination, throbbed wildly, the vibrations spreading outwards.

Han Yi retreated several miles and watched the crowing Primordial Fire Phoenix, his eyes shining with excitement.

“What exactly is this Primordial Fire Phoenix?”

“It consumes not only Divine Power but also devours Demon Crystals.”

“Unheard of, truly unheard of.”

Divine Power and Demon Crystals belonged to two separate worlds. If there was anything in common between them, it was only that they were among the strongest energies under the Origin, the cultivation energy for the highest races of a great world.

Following that,

Before him, following the Primordial Fire Phoenix’s resonant cries, its form began to mutate, or rather, slowly unfolded. From its original size of several dozen Zhang, it began to expand at an astonishing rate.

Hundreds of Zhang, thousands of Zhang, tens of thousands of Zhang, up until a hundred thousand Zhang…

It continued until it finally stopped after surpassing a size of a million Zhang.

Han Yi kept retreating, looking up at the ancient creature as large as a world, his eyes filled with shock.

What astounded him wasn’t the Fire Phoenix’s huge size, but rather, at that moment, the aura of the Fire Phoenix swelled, and as its size broke through a million Zhang, it crossed the ultimate limit of a Golden Immortal and stepped firmly into the realm of Immortal Monarchs.

Moreover, as its aura entered the Immortal Monarch level, there was a brief pause. Then, a terrifying suction erupted from the huge body; the demonic air swirling within the corridor was devoured in its entirety.

And with the consumption of Demon Energy, the aura of the Fire Phoenix exploded upwards in speed, appearing to progressively ascend without limit.
