Chapter 1569 - Chapter 1569 Chapter 671 Chaos Ruins Destiny Tao Palace

Chapter 1569: Chapter 671: Chaos Ruins, Destiny Tao Palace Chapter 1569: Chapter 671: Chaos Ruins, Destiny Tao Palace The Nine Tao of Chaos, particularly the Tao of Deception, has cultivators whose methods are quite peculiar and unpredictable, often managing to triumph over the strong despite their apparent weakness.

At this moment, two Tao Realm cultivators practicing the Tao of Deception were chasing Houtu Taoist Ancestor. Whether it was the eerie bugs that seemed like black mist blocking the power of the Gluttonous God or the Mysterious Sound Wooden Fish that even Han Yi found cumbersome, all these methods were new to Han Yi.

However,

it was recorded in the Xuancang Palace and Ancestral God Star that although the techniques of Tao of Deception cultivators were peculiar, their direct combat power was not strong. If encountered, the most straightforward strategy was to use overwhelming combat power to continuously suppress them, preventing them from exploiting opportunities.

Therefore,

once he realized this, Han Yi roared and swung his Divine Axe with all his might, each blow following another, mighty and forceful, as if to split Chaos itself.

Endless Divine Light, like surging colossal waves, rolled forward, crushing everything. The bugs resembling black mist, though dreadful and capable of gnawing Divine Force, could not keep up with the overwhelming tide of incoming Divine Force.

Continuously, bugs were destroyed by the Divine Force, turned into dust.

The face of the Tao of Deception cultivator changed, and with a wave of his hand, he retracted the black mist and then took out a grey-handled short wooden sword, smeared it with blood, and directed it at Han Yi.

An eerie fluctuation spread out, but before it could reach Han Yi, it was blocked by the sky-full surge of Divine Force; the power of the Infinite Realm naturally blocked even Divine Soul Skills.

Crack.

The wooden sword split.

The Tao of Deception cultivator staggered back several steps, his expression changing.

“Innate Chaotic Divine Race.”

On the other side, the cultivator who had taken out the wooden fish also tried several methods, but all were ineffective, similarly causing his expression to change.

The two exchanged glances, realizing they could do nothing to Han Yi, and made a decisive choice.

“Let’s go!”

Then, the two fled along the way they had come, with extreme speed. Within a few breaths, they had vanished.

Han Yi, not daring to be careless, held the Divine Axe and condensed his Divine Clan True Body to about thirty feet, saying to the suspicious Houtu Taoist Ancestor at his side,

“We should not linger here. The Tao of Deception cultivators might return at any moment. Let’s leave this place.”

Then, he headed in the direction of the Ancient Great World, moving no slower than the Tao of Deception cultivators had been earlier.

The light in Houtu Taoist Ancestor’s eyes flickered and she quickly followed him.

Two hours later,

they stopped in a stretch of Chaos Void. Han Yi stowed away the Gluttonous Sacrifice Divine Axe and reverted to his human form, taking out the Age Candle Token. Although the token was of mediocre persuasive power, it had initially earned some trust from Houtu Taoist Ancestor.

“You joined the Age Candle four thousand years ago? But I don’t recall any Immortal Monarch or Immortal Venerate matching with Brother Han back then,” Houtu Taoist Ancestor said, puzzled.

Han Yi explained, “When I joined the Age Candle, I was in the Nascent Soul Realm, so it’s normal that Houtu didn’t recognize me.”

Upon hearing this, Houtu’s face was shocked.

“Four thousand years ago, Brother Han was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, not even an Immortal?”

“How is that possible?”

“So, you’re saying that in these four thousand years, Brother Han cultivated on the Immortal Path to reach the pinnacle of Immortal Venerate, and also simultaneously cultivated the Chaos Divine Race cultivation techniques, using the Acquired to return to Innateness, becoming an Innate Infinite Realm Chaotic Divine Race?”

Seeing Han Yi nod in confirmation, Houtu Taoist Ancestor was somewhat dazed.

Han Yi tactfully moved past this information and then asked, “Has Houtu visited Chaos in recent years?”

“After the Blazing Flame Tao Court years ago, no news of you was heard. I didn’t expect to encounter you here.”

Houtu nodded, her expression becoming a bit melancholic, and as she shared her story, Han Yi learned about what Houtu Taoist Ancestor had gone through over the years.

She had investigated the Ferry Grave Taoist Boat and was injured by Sacrificers, returning to Huangting Immortal Court to heal. However, shortly after her injury healed, she faced a great upheaval in Chaos; the Tao Tomb Ripple erupted, followed by the arrival of Purgatory Island and the destruction of Huangting Immortal Court. In a crucial moment, Huangting Tao Ancestor blocked an attack from the Island Master of Purgatory Island, allowing several Immortal Venerates from the court, including Houtu Immortal Sovereign, to escape.

Subsequently, after Houtu Immortal Sovereign fled, Huangting Immortal Court was destroyed, and Huangting Tao Ancestor perished.

Shaken by these events, she left the Ancient Great World and began wandering through Chaos.

Two thousand years ago, she came across a significant opportunity, which helped her ascend to Tao Ancestor and join a Chaos force.

Thirty years earlier,

while she was wandering through Chaos, she encountered a newly emerged Chaos Ruin, entered it, and searched for unique objects or treasures. Half a month ago, she was pursued by two Tao of Deception cultivators.

During her escape, she fell into a Chaos Wormhole and took a risky journey through it, only to find herself near the Ancient Great World. She intended to flee back to the Ancient Great World and return to Daluo, but the Tao of Deception cultivators continued their pursuit, and their methods were unguardable. She was caught by a technique mid-way and if not for Han Yi’s arrival, she likely wouldn’t have made it to the Ancient Great World.

This was Houtu Taoist Ancestor’s experience since leaving the Ancient Great World.

“Chaos Ruins,” Han Yi’s eyes flickered, interested in the ruins.

Although he wasn’t new to traversing Chaos, his previous expeditions were either protected by the Nangong Divine Clan or led by Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor with specific objectives. He hadn’t traveled alone and his understanding of Chaos was limited to the information he had gathered.

He was familiar with Chaos Ruins, which didn’t refer to a single place but a general term. They were special places formed by the destruction of worlds or forces, or the bizarre transformations of scenic marvels within Chaos.

In Chaos Ruins, one might find treasures left behind from the destruction of a world or force, or dangerous spots transformed from various anomalies.
