Chapter 1417 - Chapter 1417 Chapter 596 Mysterious Demon and Strange

Chapter 1417: Chapter 596: Mysterious Demon and Strange Talisman, Jingxuan’s Shock Chapter 1417: Chapter 596: Mysterious Demon and Strange Talisman, Jingxuan’s Shock The Extreme Ancient Era split apart, forming the Nine Realms, one of which was the Mysterious Demon Immortal Realm.

However, the immortals from the Daluo, Penglai, and Kunlun Immortal Realms, as well as the wizards from the Immortal Witch Realm, never considered the world of the Mysterious Demon to be part of the Immortal Realms, thus habitually referring to it as the Mysterious Demon World.

The Mysterious Demons of this realm could be traced back to the Ancient Evils of the Primordial Era.

However.

At the end of the Primordial Era, the Extreme Ancient Continent fragmented, and one of these fragments harbored the fall of one of the most powerful Ancient Evils of that time. This Ancient Evil possessed the strength of a Heavenly Sovereign and was among the top-tier even within those ranks.

The corpse of this entity began to emit a terrifying and eerie corpse mist, which enveloped the entire continent for tens of thousands of years before it dissipated.

During those tens of thousands of years, it wasn’t that immortals didn’t try to explore the continent–as the bones of a Heavenly Sovereign Ancient Evil, whether for pill refining or artifact refining, were excellent materials. However, every immortal who set foot on the world, including even the Ancestor, was devoured by the corpse mist without exception.

As a result, the world was completely sealed off for tens of thousands of years, becoming a forbidden zone for life.

After tens of thousands of years, when the corpse mist cleared, the outside world discovered that Evil Clan members still existed on this world, but all of them had severely degenerated intelligence, and regardless of their strength, they all carried an eerie and ominous aura. These ominous auras, once encountered, were deadly poisons to the cultivators of the Immortal Realm, causing death or severe injury.

Since then, no one wished to step foot on this continental world again. Due to the peculiar and eerie characteristics of the Evil Clan living there, other worlds in the Extreme Ancient Era also referred to this world as the Mysterious Demon World.

Such is the origin of the Mysterious Demon World.

Originally, Han Yi, in his quest to gather the Four Fiendish Sword Qi to aid Qingping in breaking through to the Seventh-order, ventured to the Abyssal Ghost Pool in the Lingxiao Immortal Court territory located in the northwest of Daluo to excavate the Abyssal Ghost Sword Qi. Due to Qingping’s breakthrough, Han Yi inadvertently disturbed an ancient Mysterious Demon at the bottom of the Abyssal Ghost Pool.

The havoc wreaked by that Mysterious Demon was immense, and it was only later chased away by the efforts of Hengyue Immortal Sovereign from the Lingxiao Immortal Court.

The reason for merely chasing it away was twofold, one being that the Mysterious Demon was too powerful to slay, and secondly, because in general, immortals of the Immortal Realm are reluctant to kill such creatures.

That’s because even if a Mysterious Demon were ground to dust, its corpse could contaminate the nearby regions, causing a degradation of spiritual energy, polluting both Spirit Veins and Immortal Veins, and in severe cases, could turn the surrounding areas into barren wastelands of life.

There have been quite a few precedents in the history of Daluo Immortal Realm.

There is a solution, however, which involves excavating the contaminated area entirely, including the space itself, cutting it out whole and casting it into the Void. Though this turns the original site into a Land of Nothingness, one could bring land from other places to gradually restore it to its original state under the influence of the surrounding Immortal Spirit Qi.

This represents the peril of the Mysterious Demons.

Therefore.

At this moment, Han Yi saw a pathway that connected Daluo with the Mysterious Demon World, and saw an endless stream of Mysterious Demons emerging from it.

He no longer fled but turned around, ready to stop this pathway, either by destroying it or sealing it.

On the other side, a completely solidified pathway leading to the Ying Long Dojo through Immortal Veins also had an immortal stepping out from it.

This immortal, stepping out of the pathway, was not Ying Long Immortal Sovereign but an Immortal Monarch from the Ying Long Dojo named Jingxuan.

As one of the nine major Immortal Monarchs of Ying Long Dojo, Immortal Monarch Jingxuan possessed the strength of a senior Immortal Monarch.

Moreover, he was one of the three supporting Immortal Monarchs of Ying Long Dojo. These three presiding Immortal Monarchs–one at the pinnacle and two senior–deputized for Ying Long Immortal Sovereign in managing many affairs within the dojo.

As one of the most potent Immortal Sovereigns in Daluo, the Ying Long Immortal Sovereign’s establishment of the Ying Long Dojo also ranked it among the strongest dojos in Daluo.

However, after a recent abnormal temporal-spatial disturbance, Ying Long Immortal Sovereign had already taken action to stabilize the entire dojo with a Ninth-order Immortal Artifact.

But just moments ago, Immortal Monarch Jingxuan suddenly felt a small yet extremely powerful spatial fluctuation.

He followed the trail and discovered that a highly stable portal had suddenly appeared at a high point in the dojo, which so astonished him.

He initially attacked the portal, but it remained unmoved; then, he harnessed the power of a Ninth-order Immortal Array, only to find that even with the force of the Immortal Array, the portal could not be subdued. Lastly, he even leveraged the power of the Ninth-order Immortal Artifact stabilizing the spatial-temporal dynamics, yet the portal remained unshakable.

Having no other choice, he tried using Immortal Sense to probe into the portal, only to discover that the other side was also part of the Immortal Realm, and the space there posed no immediate danger.

Thus, he took a step forward and shuttled through space, arriving at the other end.

Upon his arrival, the first person he saw was Han Yi not far away.

As for Han Yi, the newly prominent Age Candle Immortal Monarch, he had heard of him and seen his image, but they had never met, making them strangers to each other.

He frowned, his first reaction being that the formation of this portal had something to do with Han Yi.

This portal was too abnormal; despite the current spatial-temporal disarray in the Immortal Realm, even spatial anomalies should not be this stable–it was much more solid than a Transmission Array, which shocked him.

Consequently, he speculated that the formation of this portal was no simple matter.

He was just about to speak up when he suddenly sensed something, turned around swiftly, and saw countless Evil Beasts surging out from another, even larger spatial rift on the side.

The other end of the rift space was dark and sinister, causing a chill to instinctively flash through his heart.

The next instant.

He immediately realized.

“No, these aren’t members of the Evil Clan, this is…”
