Chapter 1420 - Chapter 1420 Chapter 597 Ying Long Immortal Sovereign

Chapter 1420: Chapter 597: Ying Long Immortal Sovereign, Ancestor Descends_2 Chapter 1420: Chapter 597: Ying Long Immortal Sovereign, Ancestor Descends_2 This was his strength.

Now, as an Ancient God bound by limitations, he was only at the Ultimate Void Realm and couldn’t break through to the Creation Realm, thus being far behind the Immortal Path Realm levels. His main combat strength still depended on his Immortal Path abilities, especially his Seventh-order Sword Control and Seventh-order Mind Domain Shifting Skills.

Therefore, against any Immortal Monarch, Han Yi did not show the slightest fear.

But if he faced an Immortal Venerate, he had no chance of winning; even the possibility of escaping was uncertain.

In the midst of his flickering thoughts, a giant demon emerged from the passageway ahead, quivering its body. The pitch-black strange talismans flowing over its body circulated nonstop, speeding up more than twofold.

At the same time.

The ominous and terrifying aura emanating from this giant demon intensified, causing Han Yi to involuntarily step back.

Just then.

“Mysterious Demon?”

A voice full of doubt came from the side. Han Yi turned toward the source of the voice and saw a figure stepping out from behind Immortal Monarch Jingxuan in the passageway.

This figure appeared to be a middle-aged man, garbed in a deep purple imperial robe, tall in stature, with a pair of eyes reflecting the vast expanse of stars and the ancient scenery of the cosmos.

Han Yi’s inner unease instantly dissipated.

For the middle-aged man who had emerged, although this was the first time he had personally met him, he was not a stranger to him.

It was none other than Ying Long Immortal Sovereign, one of the most powerful Immortal Venerates in the Daluo Immortal Realm.

In the Daluo Immortal Realm, among the peak Immortal Venerate-level powerhouses stood Luotian Immortal Court’s Haotian Immortal Sovereign and Donghuang Evil Court’s Kunpeng Immortal Sovereign.

Both Immortal Venerates had experience in battling to a draw with Taoist Ancestors.

Following them were the second tier peak Immortal Venerates, such as Daoling Immortal Sovereign, Zhurong Ancient Immortal, Zhulong Demon Venerable, and others.

And to the south of the Immortal Realm, the rulers of the three special Immortal Domains: Ying Long, Qingxuan, and Qingling Immortal Domains, all stood at the second echelon, at the peak of Immortal Venerate Realm.

The overlord of Ying Long Immortal Domain, the master of the Ying Long Dojo, Ying Long Immortal Sovereign, was exactly such a formidable Immortal Venerate.

After Ying Long Immortal Sovereign stepped out from the corridor, he glanced at the forebodingly dark tunnel ahead that led to a clandestine space and his gaze narrowed ever so slightly.

Then he turned to the giant demon emanating an enormous, ominous aura that had emerged, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

Afterward, he looked towards Han Yi, who stood with his sword aloft in mid-air, and a streak of light passed through his eyes.

Upon seeing Ying Long Immortal Sovereign’s gaze, Han Yi bowed from afar and said:

“Junior Han Yi of the Age Candle, greets the Immortal Sovereign!”

Facing an Immortal Sovereign, the respect that ought to be shown naturally needed to be expressed, and Han Yi, not being a defiant person, always believed he did well in this regard.

Ying Long Immortal Sovereign nodded slightly and turned to Immortal Monarch Jingxuan standing beside him, asking, “What’s going on?”

Immortal Monarch Jingxuan conveyed what he had witnessed upon stepping out through light and shadow thought transmission.

Ying Long Immortal Sovereign’s brows furrowed slightly.

He hadn’t noticed the Immortal Venerate-level giant demon that had appeared; instead, he first extended his hand to press against the space tunnel behind him.

Suddenly, a misty grey light flickered in his hand, which upon touching the tunnel was rebounded.

Seeing this, his expression shifted slightly.

The grey light from his palm was an attack triggered by the Yinglong Guzhu within him, but this attack failed to have any effect on this suddenly appeared corridor.

He was shocked by this.

You see, the Yinglong Guzhu, being a refinement of his true body, was not merely a simple Ninth-order Immortal Artifact; it was infinitely close to the might of a Tao Artifact, qualifying as a half-step Tao Artifact.

Being unable to obliterate a spatial passageway with a half-step Tao Artifact indicated that this passageway was not naturally formed but was caused by some entity.

Yet within his perception, there was nothing within tens of thousands of miles that could draw his attention.

He withdrew his hand and, looking towards the growling Immortal Venerate-level giant demon, his figure blurred, and in an instant, he appeared before the demon.

Regardless of how the passageway was formed, the most pressing matter was to seal this Immortal Venerate-level demon and cast it back into the demon world, then attempt to close the channel leading to the demon world.

When Ying Long Immortal Sovereign arrived in front of the demon, a misty grey Xuanzhu appeared above his head. This Xuanzhu seemed like an entire world, containing boundless and surging might.

Han Yi, who had retreated further away, was stirred. He recognized the origin of the Xuanzhu.

“The Yinglong Guzhu!”

In the records of the Xuancang Palace, there were mentions of numerous artifacts and Tao artifacts of various Immortal Monarchs, Immortal Venerates, and Taoist Ancestor levels within the Immortal Realm, and the Yinglong Guzhu was included among them.

The Yinglong Guzhu was the personal Immortal Artifact of Ying Long Immortal Sovereign, surpassing the seventh-order yet not reaching the realm of Taoist Ancestral Artifacts.

Such Immortal Artifacts were not rare in the Daluo Immortal Realm.

These top-notch Immortal Artifacts were most suitable for use by the highest peak Immortal Venerates. On one hand, they could control them with ease. If used properly, they could withstand and even possibly injure a Taoist Ancestor. On the other hand, it wasn’t as demanding as controlling Tao Artifacts.

In the entire Daluo Immortal Realm, a small number of peak Immortal Venerates possessed such top-notch Immortal Artifacts, including Ying Long Immortal Sovereign.

Of course.

There were also Immortal Venerates who could exert the power of Tao Artifacts, such as the number one Immortal Venerate of Daluo, Haotian Immortal Sovereign of Luotian Immortal Court, and the number one Immortal Venerate of the Evil Clan, Demon Master Kunpeng, both of whom owned Tao Artifacts and could unleash most of their might.

These two had relatively unique strength and status.

High above, the scene reflected in Han Yi’s pupils was that of Ying Long Immortal Sovereign summoning the Yinglong Guzhu. The ancient bead emitted a grey, hazy light which pervaded and entwined around the goat-shaped Mysterious Demon. Amidst its furious roars, it was completely submerged.

Then, the subsumed Immortal Venerate level Mysterious Demon was instantly compressed into a grey Xuanzhu.

The Xuanzhu was no larger than a square foot, and through the walls of the Xuanzhu, one could see a pitch-black demon shadow inside, as if frozen in amber.

The demon shadow was goat-shaped, and the black runes on its body no longer moved.

In the blink of an eye.

An Immortal Venerate level Mysterious Demon was sealed by Ying Long Immortal Sovereign.

Han Yi was inwardly awestruck; such casual gestures, although seemingly lacking in great might, easily sealed an Immortal Venerate level Mysterious Demon, showing the tremendous strength of Ying Long Immortal Sovereign, having mastered the supreme power of the Great Tao’s ultimate simplicity.

No wonder he was able to occupy the vastest Immortal Domain alone.

Han Yi was amazed by the power of Ying Long Immortal Sovereign.

In the high sky, after sealing the Immortal Venerate level Mysterious Demon, Ying Long Immortal Sovereign threw the solidified demon, the size of a square foot, directly back into the tunnel. The force that landed on the demon seemed not strong, but it penetrated through the tunnel and disappeared into the darkness.

By this moment.

The strange tunnel no longer had any Mysterious Demons rushing out of it.

But just when Han Yi thought that things were changing for the better, the Mysterious Demon tunnel trembled violently and continued to expand to both sides. Although the speed was not fast, it was persistently ongoing.

At the same time.

Tens of thousands away, towards three other directions of the Mysterious Demon tunnel, suddenly three spatial fluctuations emerged. As soon as these spatial fluctuations appeared, they reached a severe intensity.

Boom!

Three spatial tunnels rapidly took shape.

From one of the tunnels to the east, a voice exuding imperial majesty and depth suddenly emerged.

“Which fellow daoist is playing such a joke with Donghuang!”

As the voice fell, a second voice followed closely, deep and resonant, containing the eternal breath that had survived myriad calamities.

“Di Jun!”

Then, a third voice emerged, which sounded extremely ancient, as if it had gone through an immensely long period, making the voice sound incredibly old.

“Eh, Myriad Calamities, Di Jun, what is this about?”

As soon as the second voice sounded, Han Yi already knew that its owner was the Calamity Tao Ancestor.

Moreover.

He sensed the presence of the Age Candle Immortal Court coming from the spatial tunnel where the Calamity Tao Ancestor’s voice emanated.

In a flash of thought, he suddenly had an insight.

“This tunnel did not occur by chance.”

“Four tunnels, leading to the east, south, west, and north, the four major directions of the Daluo Immortal Realm.”

“And this place is not random, but is at the very center of the Daluo Immortal Realm.”

As his thoughts emerged, three Taoists came out from the three newly appeared tunnels.

With Han Yi’s strength, he couldn’t tell if these three Taoists had come in their actual bodies or if they had merely sent out incarnations. However, he guessed that under unclear circumstances, the latter was more likely.

When Ying Long Immortal Sovereign saw the three figures emerging from the tunnels, his eyes shook, and he bowed in greeting:

“Ying Long pays his respects to Di Jun Tiandi, Calamity Tao Ancestor, Taicang Ancestral Master!!”
