Chapter 1377: Chapter 577: A Snap of the Fingers to Kill a Monarch, Son of Heavenly Dao_2 Chapter 1377: Chapter 577: A Snap of the Fingers to Kill a Monarch, Son of Heavenly Dao_2 Because a sharpness capable of shattering everything, an unmatched power, burst forth from that sword light.

Moreover, this force was quite elusive, circling around the seventh-stage dagger in his hand after the collision, heading straight for him.

A chill surged in his heart, but just as this thought arose, the sword light had already pierced his forehead, then passed through his body.

In less than one ten-thousandth of an instant, the thoughts of Taishan King sank, his consciousness dissipated.

From the Penglai Immortal Realm, Dharma Origin Sect’s realm, the Black Yama, the Seventh Hall Master, Taishan King, fell here.

Speaking of which.

From Taishan King’s sudden attack to Han Yi’s palm strike, catching Qingping, and swinging his sword, this span of time was extremely brief, lasting only a few instants.

Throughout this process, Han Yi’s facial expression remained unchanged.

It was as if this assassination attempt by an Immortal Monarch was just a common attack, and he didn’t feel proud for the sheer power of his own sword.

Because in his heart, most ordinary Immortal Monarchs could be killed without much effort.

As for Immortal Monarch Dongming, he became alert the instant Taishan King made his move, instinctively on guard, ready to intervene, but he forcefully held back, as even if he had acted, he would have been too late to stop the first strike.

Moreover, in his heart, he didn’t regard Han Yi as a common Golden Immortal but as a much more powerful senior Immortal Monarch.

What followed was him witnessing the brief process of Han Yi killing an Immortal Monarch with a palm and sword.

This time.

The shock in his heart wasn’t as intense, as he had already accepted Han Yi’s might, thinking that such an easy slaying of an Immortal Monarch was to be expected.

His eyes moved slightly as he looked toward the grey-robed corpse with a hole in its forehead, lifeless, floating in the void, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice,

“It is Taishan King from the Black Yama.”

“The dagger in his hand, named the Taishan Dagger, is a top seventh-stage Immortal Device. Taishan King once relied on it to assassinate a senior Immortal Monarch, and he even succeeded.”

Immortal Monarch Dongming glanced at Han Yi, his heart throbbing.

Had the Immortal Monarch targeted him just now, he might have been severely injured, or even fallen dead under his assassination.

But this Immortal Monarch’s killing move couldn’t withstand a single sword stroke from Han Yi, which demonstrated Han Yi’s exceptional strength.

In other words, if Han Yi targeted him, he would hardly escape death.

“Black Yama!”

Thoughts flickered in Han Yi’s mind, recalling his previous encounter in the Penglai Immortal Realm and the incident when he passed through the void east of Penglai, encountering the Lord of Beimang Mountain.

A coldness spread across his face, murderous intent flashing.

“These guys really are persistent.”

Immortal Monarch Dongming nodded and said, “Black Yama is a dark assassin organization of the Penglai Immortal Realm, with ten halls within it.”

“This Taishan King was the master of the seventh hall.”

“Rumor has it that the master of Black Yama, the Yama King, who is also the master of the fifth hall, possesses the strength of an Immortal Venerate.”

“The other nine hall masters also possess the strength of Immortal Monarchs.”

“This Taishan King of the seventh hall had the power of an ordinary Immortal Monarch, similar to mine.”

At this point, Immortal Monarch Dongming looked at Han Yi again and fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Han Yi’s expression grew even colder, and with a slight gesture, he retrieved the seventh-stage Immortal Device, the black dagger floating midair, bringing it before him.

This dagger’s appearance was unremarkable, but the killing intent contained within was like a raging sea, startling even Han Yi.

So torrential and surging was this murderous intent, it needed to be constantly fed with blood souls. In other words, the Immortal Monarch had to kill countless people with this dagger to forge its terrifying lethality.

The refining of the seventh-stage dagger had taken too long, and moreover, the dagger was not compatible with Han Yi.

Therefore, he didn’t immediately refine it but with a wave of his hand and a sweep of Immortal Power, incorporated it into his Divine Aperture world.

At this moment, within this Divine Aperture world, a gigantic dagger descended in the Land of Nothingness, attracting countless Innate Divine Spirits to observe and probe around it.

But these Innate Divine Spirits were not highly advanced, the most powerful among them had not even achieved fairyland, and thus, they were completely incapable of handling this seventh-stage Immortal Device.

As the aura of the seventh-stage Immortal Device assimilated, this world gradually evolved into a world of slaughter.

Han Yi didn’t interfere with all this, letting it develop on its own.

The natural evolution of the Divine Aperture world, with its endless branches, was even more beneficial to his Ancient Gods Cultivation.

In the void.

“`

Han Yi extended his hand into Taishan King’s body, pulling out his entire Immortal Spirit Realm and condensing it in the palm of his hand–this was the first time he had extracted the Immortal Spirit Realm of an Immortal Monarch.

Before this,

although he had killed the Black-Robed Immortal Monarch of the Black Realm and Mountain Solitude Immortal Monarch, due to the urgency at the time, he had not managed to take their Immortal Spirit Realms, letting them dissipate into nothingness.

For an Immortal Monarch, the laws are generally deemed complete, constructing an Immortal Spirit Realm that exists flawlessly within the outside world.

Moreover, if one kills an Immortal Monarch who fails to resist in time, their complete Immortal Spirit Realm can even be taken and used as a small world.

The small worlds subsidiary to the Daluo Immortal Realm originated in this way.

Moreover, these small worlds, after years of propagation and the transformation of the world’s spirits, move towards the perfection of their laws, becoming gradually stable enough to sustain countless living beings, giving birth to Spirit Veins and even Immortal Veins on their own.

At this moment,

through the boundary membrane, Han Yi could see a nearly complete small world in his hands, a world that even contained dozens of Immortal Sects and countless mortals.

However, the path of cultivation practiced by these Immortal Sects was all assassination, leaving the entire world shrouded in darkness and endless wars.

This was because the Immortal Monarch Black Yama cultivated this particular Immortal Path’s law, naturally causing his Immortal Spirit Realm to lean towards this aspect, which in turn facilitated his cultivation.

Han Yi first stored this small world into one of his Divine Aperture worlds; he planned to merge it into his own Immortal Spirit Realm once he advanced to Immortal Monarch.

Of course, he would definitely need to filter through those Immortal Sects, converting them from the path of assassination.

Next, he collected the body of Taishan King; the corpse was quite useful–it could be used to refine an Immortal Puppet or a Corpse Puppet, and even if sold, it would fetch a quite high price.

Using this money to cultivate the Immortals of Xuandan Sect would be very beneficial.

Han Yi was not an obstinate person, so naturally, he did not reject this.

Finally,

he redirected his attention to the two items left behind by Eastern Emperor Unique, his heart stirring.

One was an Immortal Thought, the other was a fiery red feather.

Touching the Immortal Thought earlier allowed him to understand a bit about Eastern Emperor Unique’s origins and the past causes and effects of her demonic physique, but his discovery was interrupted by Taishan King’s attack.

Now that he had easily slain Taishan King, he looked back at the Immortal Thought, reviewing all of its contents; his expression instantly changed.

Because the content therein revealed the true identity of Eastern Emperor Unique–she was a Taoist.

Here, the Taoist did not refer to a powerful Immortal of some Immortal Sect; the ‘Tao’ here referred to the Heavenly Tao.

Taoist, meaning the Son of Heavenly Tao.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Tao mentioned here is not just that of the Daluo Immortal Realm, but that of the Ancient Great World.

Such Sons of Heavenly Tao, a total of nine, are born as an answer to calamities, each representing a different Tao.

Immortal Path, Demonic Tao, Tao of Deception, Witchcraft Tao…

And Eastern Emperor Unique represented the ‘Demonic’ aspect of the Tao.

No wonder Han Yi, upon seeing Eastern Emperor Unique earlier, glimpsed a hint of the Evil Clan’s regality through the Heavenly Fate Divine Pupil.

The mission of a Son of Heavenly Tao is naturally to maintain the operation of the Heavenly Tao and traverse the Extreme Ancient Calamities.

This ‘Great Calamity’ does not refer to the calamities that come at the end of each era, but to those that threaten the operation of the entire Ancient Great World, such as perils that spread from Chaos.

Additionally,

Eastern Emperor Unique indeed possessed nine demonic forms, a result of her cultivation of a unique technique, and only by uniting them could she ascend to Demon Venerate. Moreover, upon ascension, as long as there was sufficient energy, she could instantly step into the realm of Peak Immortal Monarch.

As for her absorption of Divine Force and Magic Power, it was because her Cultivation Technique was special–it allowed her to devour all things, and the higher the energy level, the greater the improvement to her cultivation.

In the Immortal Realm, aside from the Origin, Divine Force, and Abyssal Demonic Power are basically the highest tiers.

Lastly,

were the few words Eastern Emperor Unique left before departing.

Among them, she mentioned that the cause and effect between her and Han Yi were not yet over, which Han Yi also found puzzling.

The Abyssal Divine Phoenix Feather was left by her ninth demonic form, the Primordial Fire Phoenix, before its transformation, containing the insights she had accumulated over nine lifetimes.

Eastern Emperor Unique could see that Han Yi was half a step into the Immortal Monarch realm. What he lacked was the last bit of insight, and with her nine lifetimes of deep insights, already reaching the level of Peak Immortal Monarch, helping Han Yi would be effortless.

Thinking of this,

Han Yi suppressed the longing in his heart and carefully stored away the fiery red feather.
