Chapter 1473 - Chapter 1473 Chapter 623 Defensive Line Concept Terrifying

Chapter 1473: Chapter 623: Defensive Line Concept, Terrifying Virtual Skills_2 Chapter 1473: Chapter 623: Defensive Line Concept, Terrifying Virtual Skills_2 Han Yi’s Soul Skill was far from simple. It was derived from the Brilliant Extreme Sky Ming Soul-Stealing Technique, originally performed by the Ming Luo Sword Master. This Soul Skill could only be executed after practicing the Wanming Immortal Scripture, which in turn was deduced from the Wan Ming Tome. When Han Yi first received a Soul Skill from the Ming Luo Sword Master, he obliterated it with the Wan Ming Tome, and naturally understood its mysteries.

Now, as he executed this Soul Skill using the Wan Ming Tome, it was much more powerful than when the Ming Luo Sword Master had executed it.

To be cautious, Han Yi had deployed this profound Soul Skill.

With a shift of his thought, the memories of the Void Demon that had been implanted with the Soul Skill were all extracted and flowed into his heart.

Scenes flickered like shadows, providing Han Yi with a more comprehensive understanding of this particular Void Demon and the current state of the Void Demon Palace.

This Void Demon had survived for 170,000 years. It was born after the Void Demon Palace drifted through Chaos following the destruction of the Void Demon Great World.

Now, the Void Demon Palace occupied nearly half of the Penglai Immortal Realm’s territories, vast in expanse. They did not annihilate all the Immortal Path Cultivators but enslaved all within the controlled territories.

The most crucial aspect was compelling these Immortals to convert Immortal Stones into a special Spiritual Items called Void Crystals using Immortal Soul Strength in a unique manner each day.

These Void Crystals were the resources necessary for the cultivation of the Void Demon.

Seeing this, Han Yi suddenly realized.

In these few hundred years, since the opening of the Tao Tomb Ripple, communication between Daluo and Penglai had become scarce due to the turbulent situation.

The information Han Yi acquired from the Age Candle Token about the Void Demon Palace was very fragmentary, only introducing the existence of this Chaos Different Race and not the cultivation methods or policies implemented after occupying the Purple Sun Hanging Star.

Now, from the memories of this Fifth-stage Void Demon, Han Yi had finally glimpsed a corner of the truth.

He also came to know.

The Immortal Stones of the Penglai Immortal Realm were ineffective and even poisonous for the cultivation of these Void Demons.

However, if the Immortals practiced the cultivation technique of the Void Demon Palace and refined the Immortal Stones through the Void Demon cultivation technique, they could convert them into Void Crystals, which the Void Demon Clan needed for cultivation.

Void Crystals were indeed the resource needed for the cultivation of the Void Demon Clan.

“Void Crystals.”

“So, this Void Demon Clan is treating the Immortals of this realm as converters.”

“By doing so, their threat is much more dangerous than Purgatory Island.”

“To enslave more Immortals, it’s very likely that they will wage war, seizing more Immortal Cultivators to refine more Void Crystals.”

Han Yi’s heart sank.

With a wave of his hand, he destroyed the Void Demon. Han Yi hesitated for a moment, then did not immediately return but continued deeper into the territory of the Void Demon Palace.

This time, his goal was achieved by seventy percent. Next, he planned to look for a Seventh-order or even Eighth-order Void Demon to assess the strength of the Void Demons.

Seventh-order and Eighth-order Void Demons, when translated, were roughly equivalent to an Immortal Monarch to early-stage Immortal Venerate in Immortal Path terms. The relationship was not necessarily accurate given they were from two different Great Worlds and different clans, it wasn’t possible for the levels to align perfectly.

In the recent memories of the Void Demon, Han Yi also learned.

Within the Void Demon Clan, above the Ninth-order Void Demons, there were king-level Void Demons, which were the clan leaders. In terms of strength, they were comparable to the Tao Ancestor Realm in the Immortal Realm. The Void Demon Palace had seven such kings.

Above the seven kings, there was one lord of the Void Demon Palace, an emperor transformed from a king whose strength had reached the Heavenly Sovereign Realm.

Han Yi, still disguised as a Sixth-stage Void Demon with the Wanxing Daotai technique, passed several Immortal Cities and finally arrived at a massive Immortal City. There, he sensed the presence of a Seventh-order Void Demon.

As his silhouette flickered, Han Yi’s aura surged, elevating from Sixth-order to Seventh-order Void Demon, then he stepped forward, disappearing from spot, and appeared above the Seventh-order Void Demon stationed in the center of the city, smashing down with a palm.

This palm, outwardly fierce with rolling Demon Energy like a tide, internally operated on Han Yi’s Ancient God strength, and was the ‘Suppressing Divine Palm’ from the Universal Fate Combine Tao Canon.

This Divine Canon, since his breakthrough as an Immortal Monarch, Han Yi had rarely used it, because the Suppressing Divine Palm at the Ultimate Void peak could not deal with the enemies he faced.

But now, to test the strength of this Seventh-order Void Demon, Han Yi chose to start with it.

Boom!

The Seventh-order Void Demon looked up and was struck down instantly. The entire City Lord Manor, including the grand Immortal Palaces and halls, was utterly destroyed by this strike.

However, Han Yi was not satisfied because he clearly sensed that under the impact of his palm, the Seventh-order Void Demon, although in a disheveled state, had not truly been injured.

Roar!

A furious roar erupted as a more than three-meter-tall Void Demon rose from the ruins, gazing at Han Yi with fury spewing forth from its eyes.

“Damn it, who are you?”

This Seventh-order Void Demon had not recognized Han Yi’s Change Form, but naturally assumed Han Yi was a member of one of the seven clans of the Void Demon.

Among the Void Demon seven clans, the seven kings were not friendly and harmonious; instead, they competed and even hated each other. They could only submit under the pressure of the lord of the Void Demon Palace, outwardly maintaining stability while continuously scheming and fighting covertly.

Moreover, due to the drifting Chaos, the Void Demon Palace was short on cultivation resources, and the Void Demons also needed to compete among themselves to seize more Void Crystals for cultivation. Therefore, the relationships between Void Demons were generally not good.

Han Yi did not respond but instead continued with another palm strike.

This time, it was the Deity Sealing Skill.

However, before the Deity Sealing Skill could hit the Seventh-order Void Demon, the demon suddenly spat out a large mouthful of Demon Energy, which transformed into an umbrella suspended above its head.

Bang!!

The Deity Sealing Skill struck the Demon Umbrella, causing it to violently shake, but it did not dissipate.

Han Yi’s gaze sharpened; he could see that this Demon Umbrella was not completely formed from Soul Energy but had its own entity.

“This is the Virtual Skills.”

“They can block even physical attacks, capable of integrating Soul Skills and Immortal Skills… covering both the ethereal and the tangible.”

“A very powerful skill.”

Han Yi was internally shocked, his expression changed.

From the memories of a Fifth-stage Void Demon he had previously examined, Han Yi was somewhat aware of the Void Demon clan’s Virtual Skills, but encountering them now was still quite shocking.

The Virtual Skills of the Void Demon clan were not purely Soul Skills, but involved fusing Soul Spirit with weapons, thoroughly etherealizing the weapons to nurture within their bodies. When needed in battle, they would be summoned forth.

Weapons turned ethereal could attack the Immortal Soul but also materialize for physical attacks.

According to the Immortal Realm, this was a special cultivation method combining Immortal Skills, Immortal Artifacts, and Soul Skills into one.

Mastering Virtual Skills was difficult in the Void Demon clan; each Void Demon’s grasp of Virtual Skills was extremely limited, but once mastered, the power was significant and could have special effects.

Hundreds of meters away, the Seventh-order Void Demon that blocked the Deity Sealing Skill appeared confused. He withdrew the Demon Umbrella and held it in his hand.

“You’re not using Virtual Skills because you’re worried I’ll recognize you. Who exactly are you?”

This Void Demon did not suspect Han Yi’s identity as a Void Demon; he simply thought that Han Yi refrained from using Virtual Skills because he was worried about being recognized.

The opponent,

Having just witnessed the Virtual Skills, Han Yi, with a solemn expression, no longer used Divine Arts; his Divine Arts were still at the Xiuyun level and could be somewhat effective against ordinary Immortal Monarchs. But against this Seventh-order Void Demon, they seemed rather inadequate.

He flipped his hand and took out an Immortal Sword, the black Miluo Immortal Sword, with black Sword Qi radiating from it, which, from the outside, looked seventy percent similar to the etherealized weapons of the Virtual Skills.

“Finally using Virtual Skills, let me see who you really are.”

The Seventh-order Void Demon shouted loudly as he leaped forward, his Demon Umbrella discharged from his hand, disintegrating automatically. The canopy rotated and expanded, transforming into a sky-blocking black curtain engulfing Han Yi, while its thirteen ribs transformed into thirteen beams of light, shuttling through space like flying swords, thrusting at Han Yi.

Despite the distance, Han Yi could feel the oppressive effect on his Immortal Soul from the black curtain above, which could cause even a veteran Immortal Monarch’s Immortal Soul to become sluggish, reducing their strength significantly. Even a Peak Immortal Monarch would not be completely unaffected.

But as an Immortal formed from the Tao Soul and having cultivated the Wanming Immortal Scripture, Han Yi was naturally immune to this.

The thirteen ribs, however, caused a great reaction in Han Yi’s Ancient Gods Physical Body, proving their immense power.

“Dual suppression.”

“This Virtual Skill is indeed terrifying!”
