Chapter 1574 - Chapter 1574 Chapter 673 Rotten Plank First Strike at the Tao

Chapter 1574: Chapter 673: Rotten Plank, First Strike at the Tao of Deception_2 Chapter 1574: Chapter 673: Rotten Plank, First Strike at the Tao of Deception_2 The wooden plank was decaying and still bore dark bloodstains.

Yet, as soon as the plank appeared, it similarly caused the Chaos Primordial Qi to undergo a change, as if it were a gloomy object that avoided approach, automatically steering clear of it.

The Trickster grabbed the wooden plank and took a direct bite, then swallowed it down, his pallid, chilly expression manifesting a trace of pain. It seemed that this mouthful was extremely difficult for him to endure.

Next, his complexion changed, and he vomited the swallowed substance out. What came out wasn’t the edge of a wooden plank anymore, but instead, a crudely fashioned wooden doll.

Suddenly,

a strange smile appeared on his lips, and his dead fish-like eyes fixed on Han Yi. Then, once again, he bit into the wooden doll, quickly chewing it to nothing with a few bites.

It seemed as though what he was tearing and consuming wasn’t the doll, but rather Han Yi.

As he tore and devoured the doll from afar, Han Yi felt an extreme and terrifying sliver of strength land on his neck, as if someone was tearing at his head and body, intending to gnaw his head off alive.

Considering what he had seen the Trickster do on the right side, he already knew that the small decaying plank could somehow connect to himself, and the doll that emerged from the edge of the plank even had a direct causal link with him.

At this moment,

spiritually, a demonic chant surrounded him, piercing deep into his Divine Soul, urging him to give up and return to reality.

Physically, an immense and almost unbearable force of biting came, intensifying the agony. Without any action, he would definitely be decapitated and severely wounded, even if not killed.

The Trickster’s cultivated Tao of Deception was unpredictable and exceedingly strange.

Moreover,

clearly,

these two Tricksters were closely collaborating, using powerful methods to slay Han Yi. One disrupted Han Yi’s Divine Soul while the other sought to destroy Han Yi’s Physical Body.

If it were any other individual in the High-level Infinite Realm, they would surely fall into confusion due to an insufficiently strong Divine Soul. If it were a practitioner of the Immortal Path at the Ancestor level, their body would be the first to be destroyed due to its frailty.

Once either the Physical Body or the Divine Soul was severely damaged, the other would be greatly affected, making the kill all too easy.

But unfortunately,

they were facing Han Yi.

Although Han Yi hadn’t reached the Tao Realm, his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of Immortal Venerate, and due to the special nature of the panel, his Divine Soul was as strong as an Ancestor’s. Not long ago, he had even elevated the Wan Ming Tome to its peak in the Daluo section.

It’s important to note that the Wan Ming Tome was a supreme book for the Divine Soul that led straight to a Half-step Transcend Level. With this book, he was able to control millions of Wan Ming Incarnations without succumbing to backlash, which was enough to demonstrate the terrifying nature of the Wan Ming Tome.

This was the foundational root of the fallen Chaos-level great power Wanming City, and its peak in the Daluo section was incomparable even to ordinary Tao Realm practitioners.

As for the Physical Body, Han Yi’s strength in the Infinite Realm was already superior to the Chaos Divine Race on the Ancestral God Star because of the panel. Even at his peak in the Transformation Realm, he was able to withstand attacks from the Infinite Realm.

Hence,

when faced with internal and external strife, with both the Divine Soul and the Physical Body under attack, Han Yi remained unflustered. His body flickered, towering a myriad feet tall.

The Tao Si Divine Axe in his hands grew along with him, transforming into a heavenly and earth-shaking giant axe.

As his body surged in size, his back suddenly split open, revealing dense tooth marks as if an invisible entity were gnawing at his body.

But this gnawing was only superficial.

Beneath the skin of his Divine Body, numerous Divine Aperture Worlds appeared. The moment the gnawing force entered his body, it was absorbed by the Divine Aperture Worlds.

The Divine Aperture Worlds shattered, but at the same time, even more were born.

In the Infinite Realm, the Divine Apertures are infinite, the Divine Force unlimited.

Therefore, while the split back continued to attempt tearing further open, endless Divine Aperture Worlds surged forth, confronting the gnawing strength, maintaining a deadlock.

Additionally,

mystical sounds of the Tao began to emerge in Han Yi’s mind, like an ancient book turning pages, making rustling sounds.

As these sounds surfaced, a strange and ethereal ancient tome appeared.

This ancient book seemed to reside in the Dark Land, not a place of Chaos, but a space transformed by a Supreme Treasure.

The ancient book vibrated.

And then, whether it was the illusion outside Han Yi’s body or the strange sounds that had penetrated his body, everything instantaneously turned to dust and vanished.

In fact.

Han Yi had not expected his opponents to display such horrifying tactics right from the beginning, and it seemed that the plan he had set up with Houtu Taoist Ancestor to ambush them was not going to work.

The Trickster’s attack wasn’t like normal Tao Skills and Divine Arts, it was truly bizarre and impossible to guard against.

But with the arrow on the bowstring, he had to release it.

At that moment, after displaying his divine body of ten thousand feet, he used his high-level Infinite Realm divine body to counteract the physical corrosion and shattered the demonic sound waves with the Wan Ming Tome.

Immediately, he burst forth, hacking down with an axe.

The black torrent was fierce and unstoppable, directly engulfing the two Tricksters.

The one holding the wooden fish, acting decisively, saw that Han Yi was completely unaffected by his wooden fish’s demonic sound, and after putting it away, he turned and retreated, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge.

But the one with the wooden board wasn’t so lucky.

He swallowed a puppet, intending it to replace Han Yi and destroy Han Yi’s physical body, but the strength of Han Yi’s body far exceeded his expectations.

He had once used this tactic to destroy the physical body of a second-step Tao Realm practitioner in an ambush.

Only those at the third step of the Tao Realm, where their Tao Realm and Tao Fruit have fully integrated and then refined into their Tao Body, can possess a Tao Soul strong enough to resist the decay of this rotting wooden board.

He hadn’t embarked on the Immortal Path, and although Han Yi was only at the low-level of the Infinite Realm, his physical body was so strong that it could be compared to someone at the high-level of the Infinite Realm.

Caught off guard, the puppet got stuck in his throat, causing him to suffer backlash and his Trickster powers to dissipate. Under the first step’s divine force impact, he sustained serious injuries.

Having lost the initiative, the thought of escaping was no longer possible.

Devouring Void, Tribulation Breaking, Manifest Spirit, Thunder Paste, Gluttonous Sacrifice.

The first five of the Taosi Six Forms were all unleashed upon the Trickster, encapsulating a bizarre divine soul crashing left and right, but it simply could not break through the covering divine force, ultimately being extinguished within the vast Divine Force.

Only a few strange items were left behind.

On the other side,

The Trickster who had been holding the wooden fish showed a trace of fear on his pale face after seeing his companion killed.

To him, Han Yi was too powerful, not only able to withstand their combined attack but also capable of resisting their onslaught and killing one of them.

If the fight continued, he would not be able to escape either.

As the thought occurred, he sharply increased his speed while retreating, sidestepping away, and at the same time, he took out a damaged Kasaya and draped it over himself, increasing his speed several times over.

Han Yi roared angrily as he chopped down with the Divine Axe, but he only managed to touch the afterimage and could not reach the actual body.

However, seeing the direction in which the Trickster was fleeing left Han Yi slightly stunned.

How fortuitous.

Because that direction was exactly the one where he and Houtu Taoist Ancestor had set the ambush.

He did not disregard this but immediately surged with ferocity, chasing after the fleeing Trickster at an equally fast speed, closely behind him.

After just six breaths, the fleeing Trickster, while crossing through a part of Chaos, suddenly saw Sword Light appear, spreading far and wide, encircling him.

Boom!!

A powerful attack shattered the Sword Realm in the next instant, but what came at him head-on was a yellow Divine Ribbon, Houtu’s Yellow Ling God Belt.

The Divine Ribbon suppressed the Trickster’s aura, pushing him back into the Three Thousand Sword Realm.

The gray Sword Light surged once more, howling like a sea.

Immediately,

The Sword Sea split open, admitting the approaching Han Yi, wielding the Divine Axe with his divine body of ten thousand feet,

Boom boom boom!!

Terrifying turbulence continued to shake within the gray Sword Realm.

After a moment, the Sword Sea calmed, and it was only then that Han Yi, back to his normal-sized body, emerged holding the giant axe.

Afterward, he did not put away the giant axe, fearing that other Tricksters might be nearby, and that he needed to be ready at all times.

But he gestured, taking back the Three Thousand Sword Realm; it was a stroke of luck that the ambush had been set up on the path that the Trickster had fled through, or else Han Yi might not have been able to guarantee catching up to an opponent who was determined to escape.
