Chapter 1483 - Chapter 1483 Chapter 628 Eighth-Order Sword Control The Age

Chapter 1483: Chapter 628: Eighth-Order Sword Control, The Age Candle Ascends to Honor_2 Chapter 1483: Chapter 628: Eighth-Order Sword Control, The Age Candle Ascends to Honor_2 Besides Qingping, he chose the Xuan Yuan Immortal Sword.

This Immortal Sword is a top eighth-order, no weaker than Qingping.

This Immortal Sword was not a gift from the Calamity Tao Ancestor, but something he obtained after slaying a certain eighth-order Void Demon; he could recognize it. The owner of this Immortal Sword must have been an Immortal Venerate from the former Purple Sun Tao Sect.

After the Void Demon Palace descended, the Purple Sun Tao Sect was annihilated; that Immortal Venerate perished; the Xuan Yuan Sword then ended up in the hands of an eighth-order Void Demon. This demon was subsequently slain by Han Yi, and the Xuan Yuan Sword came into his possession.

At that moment.

The black flames consumed everything, but could do nothing to these two eighth-order Immortal Swords, which swept through, their Sword Light illuminating all directions, slaughtering gods and demons.

However, the god demon, fused with two Virtual Skills, was no longer so easily destroyed. The shattered runes fell into the black flames and quickly recondensed, transforming back into a giant god demon, which stood up once again.

The Xuan Yuan Sword and the god demon fought fiercely, while the Qingping Sword directly swooped out, slashing towards a ninth-order Void Demon standing behind.

But as the Sword Light neared, the Void Demon suddenly vanished, reappearing within the black flames.

The flames erupted with a loud bang, causing a tremendous shock this even felt, as if even time and space could be burned to ashes.

But in just an instant, all the flames rapidly contracted back into the body of the ninth-order Void Demon, and the three giant demon gods also vanished.

Afterward.

This Void Demon turned around and fled toward the territory of the Void Demon Palace.

After his departure, the demonic tide gradually receded.

The entire border battlefield was littered with countless demon corpses. As for the Age Candle side, because the Immortal Castle was deployed with strong defenses, only a few demon corpses broke through the defense line, stepping inside the Immortal Castle, causing deaths and injuries.

Han Yi gazed deeply at the departing ninth-order Void Demon and did not chase after him.

“This ninth-order Void Demon, after breakthrough, placed in the Void Demon Palace, among the Seven Kings, must be close to the very top among the ninth-orders.”

“In these hundred years, his constant assaults on this defensive line, and our fights, have honed me; for him, it has been the same.”

“There are many mighty ones under heaven, one must not underestimate any of them.”

Han Yi’s heart grew slightly solemn.

He had originally thought that by leveraging the advancement to eighth-order in Sword Controlling Immortal Skill, along with the further boosted power of the Three Thousand Sword Realm, he might be able to completely capture this ninth-order Void Demon in this encounter.

But the battle just now also revealed that the opponent had broken through as well; currently, both parties were evenly matched, neither able to overwhelm the other.

Of course.

On a hundred-year scale, measuring both individuals’ progress, Han Yi naturally had the upper hand.

A hundred years ago, he had to exert all his strength just to force the opponent back.

But now, they truly were evenly matched.

Han Yi withdrew his gaze and looked to the east. A familiar figure was approaching rapidly; it was Grand Martial Immortal Sovereign arriving.

“Still that ninth-order Void Demon?”

“Han Yi, how is it?”

Grand Martial Immortal Sovereign’s expression was grave as he pressed for details.

Han Yi said, “The opponent has broken through and must have gained the strength of a peak Immortal Venerate.”

Grand Martial Immortal Sovereign’s breath hitched, he looked toward Han Yi, eyes widening, sparkling with excitement.

“So you mean, you too?”

Han Yi nodded in acknowledgment.

“Yes, my Sword Skill has also broken through.”

“Against a peak Immortal Venerate, I am barely capable of holding my own.”

Grand Martial Immortal Sovereign’s eyes trembled violently.

“You truly are, truly are…”

“Too monstrous.”

He could only use the word ‘monstrous’ to describe Han Yi.

In these hundred years, he and Han Yi had jointly defended the border mountains, repeatedly repelling the high-order Void Demons’ attacks.

Even a ninth-order Void Demon had been jointly slain.

However, that ninth-order Void Demon had just entered the ninth order, its strength being a notch weaker than Grand Martial’s; Han Yi and Grand Martial had together vanquished it on the battlefield.

As for eighth-order and lower Void Demons, even more had fallen by their hands.

And Grand Martial Immortal Sovereign had witnessed the terrifying speed of Han Yi’s strength improvement over the hundred years.

To the present day, when Han Yi claimed he could match a peak Immortal Venerate, Grand Martial was almost numb.

It was only a hundred years, a mere moment for him, far from enough for a breakthrough, but for Han Yi, it had been a period of profound transformation.

Seeing Grand Martial’s astonishment, Han Yi smiled slightly.

In three years since his breakthrough to eighth order Sword Control, he had devoted himself to practicing the second form of the Miluo Hunyuan Sword Canon. Although he had insights, they were sporadic and he had yet to master it.

If he were to master this second form of the Sword Canon, his strength could further increase.

If he mentioned this, Grand Martial would certainly be even more stunned.

However, Han Yi had no intention of revealing this.

Suddenly.

He sharply looked towards the south, his gaze climbing from shock to horror, and from within that horror, ecstasy burst forth from his heart.

To the south, where the Age Candle Immortal Court was located.

Endless radiance began to surge, even expanding to the boundary line, continuing to spread towards the Void Demon Palace.

In the void.

Clusters of golden lotuses bloomed.

A Primordial Immortal Pillar spread from the void, seas of golden elixir floated like tides, the Eternal Life Spirit Turtle crawled out from the void, the Tianrui Auspicious Tiger strolled leisurely, the Zijin Yuanlong poked its dragon head out of the void, and Xuanming’s Vermilion Bird cried out in all directions.

Phenomena.

Phenomena filled the heavens.

And beyond these phenomena, between heaven and earth, the endless Great Tao began to materialize.

Both the phenomena and the materialized Great Tao revolved around a towering God Mountain that stood between heaven and earth, soaring into the skies and possessing infinite might.

The God Mountain rapidly transformed, emerging along with the Great Tao from the ancient chaos of the world’s inception, witnessing the vigorous era of the Ten Thousand Clans striving on this path.

“Heaven and earth leave traces, Ten Thousand Paths gather and praise.”

“Heavenly Venerate’s Phenomenon, Heavenly Venerate’s Phenomenon!”

Han Yi said subconsciously.

Beside him, Grand Martial Immortal Sovereign’s face flushed with excitement.

“It is the Heavenly Venerate’s Phenomenon.”

“The Ancestor, he has become a sovereign!”

Han Yi nodded firmly.

Regarding the Heavenly Venerate, he did not know much, but having witnessed Donghuang Taiyi becoming a sovereign once, the current scene was even more magnificent than the moment when Donghuang Taiyi ascended.

Han Yi suddenly sensed something. In the eastern part of Age Candle, further south, and even to the north of the boundary, whether northeast or northwest, terrifying auras flashed into existence.

“Heavenly Sovereign, the Heavenly Sovereign of the Ancient Great World.”

Grand Martial Immortal Sovereign was not worried: “It’s said that becoming a sovereign involves no calamities, hence, there’s no need to worry about interference. Once the Heavenly Venerate’s Phenomenon appears, it signifies the birth of a Heavenly Sovereign.”

“Thus, we do not need to worry, the Heavenly Sovereigns from other domains of the Ancient World might make small moves.”

“Such a pity, too much of a pity.”

“Were we in the Immortal Court, we could be influenced by the Heavenly Venerate’s Phenomenon, where our comprehension of the Great Tao could explosively increase, and even breakthroughs to a small realm might occur.”

Although Grand Martial Immortal Sovereign spoke of ‘pity’, his expression was merely regretful, showing no other emotion, and he would not rush to seize this opportunity.

The Immortal Court had assigned him and Han Yi to guard the boundary, and with Age Candle becoming sovereign, it was even more paramount to hold this line.

So it was with Han Yi.

The myriad phenomena lasted for an entire hour before they slowly receded.

Afterward, a message spread throughout the once-unified Nine Realms, now continuing in the Ancient Great World of the ancient times.

In the Daluo Immortal Realm, the lord of the Age Candle Immortal Court, the witness to ancient history, Age Candle Dao Ancestor, had become sovereign.

The news spread out.

The various parts of the Ancient Great World shook.

Of course.

For Han Yi, he returned to his duty of guarding the boundary and cultivating.

But since the sovereign ascension of Age Candle, there were no Ninth-order Void Demons invading the boundary line, and even those of the Eighth- and Seventh-order, had vanished overnight.

The occasional Sixth-order Void Demon trying to cross the boundary into Age Candle was obliterated by the Immortal Castle without Han Yi needing to act.

In the second year of Age Candle’s sovereignty.

Han Yi received orders from the Immortal Court, instructing him to prepare to return to the Immortal Court, and his replacement was to be the Original Art Immortal Sovereign.

At the highest point of the 362nd Immortal Castle, Han Yi greeted the arriving Original Art Immortal Sovereign.

“Han Yi, I hear from HongWu that you repelled a powerful Ninth-order Void Demon.”

“That Ninth-order Void Demon is equivalent to a peak Immortal Sovereign.”

“Is your strength nearing that of an Immortal Sovereign now?”

Original Art Immortal Sovereign stared at Han Yi, his eyes deep and tumultuous, obviously his inner self was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Four hundred years ago, Han Yi as a veteran Immortal Sovereign, had managed to shake his Yuan Shu Realm Heaven and contend against two Evil Clan Immortal Sovereigns, astonishing him.

And a hundred years ago, when he last saw Han Yi, he learned that Han Yi could contend against veteran Immortal Sovereigns.

Now, a hundred years later, at this reunion, Han Yi had climbed another step, now able to contend against peak Immortal Sovereigns.

In just four hundred years, Han Yi’s strength had changed three times, this rate of progression simply stunned him.

Seeing Han Yi slowly nod, Original Art paused for a moment before shaking his head.

“Forget it, you, this young man, cannot be measured by common standards.”

“Truly comparing myself to you, I might well be scared to death.”
