Chapter 1576 - Chapter 1576 Chapter 674 The Taoist Ancient Array

Chapter 1576: Chapter 674: The Taoist Ancient Array, Distribution of Origin Crystals_2 Chapter 1576: Chapter 674: The Taoist Ancient Array, Distribution of Origin Crystals_2 In front of him, a huge and slanted palace submerged under water, surrounded by gray light, was indeed an array.

Behind the palace’s array remained a bizarre aura, traces left by the Trickster before.

And evidently, the Trickster could do nothing with this array.

This was a Tao Array, and an extremely powerful one at that, impervious to the general Tao Realm.

“Houtu, please step back a bit. I’ll break through this Tao Array.”

With time pressing, Han Yi had no time for modesty. His figure flashed, transforming into a tens of thousands zhang tall Divine Clan’s True Body. Then he swung the Divine Axe, chopping down with it.

This chop was the Tribulation Breaking style of the Taosi Six Forms.

The Gluttonous Sacrifice* Tribulation Breaking Divine Art had a formidable power in breaking arrays, much stronger than the other Divine Arts in the Taosi Six Forms. Han Yi’s choice to use this Divine Art to try and split the Tao Array also showed his firm determination.

Boom boom boom!!

Black light descended upon the Tao Array outside the palace. Where the lights collided, the gray light suddenly burst forth, transforming into a brightness like that of a constant star.

The sea water surged up tens of thousands of zhang, the vibrations spreading far and wide, causing the entire Water World to shake violently.

But what made Han Yi frown deeply was,

this chop, a Divine Art powerful enough to split a Cave Heaven, somehow failed against the mysterious palace’s Tao Array.

Above the Tao Array, the gray light vibrated and shimmered, but clearly, it was far from shattering.

At the same time,

as the light on the Tao Array shifted and vibrated, the sound of bizarre musical instruments echoed in this part of the world.

Han Yi summoned the Wan Ming Tome in his mind to suppress these sounds of musical instruments.

“There’s something strange.”

“Again!”

Han Yi shouted explosively. This time, the Divine Clan’s True Body shrunk to ten zhang, this height allowing him to better wield the power of the Chaos Divine Race.

“Ha!!”

A chop was delivered, black light flashing and sweeping across. If it were an ordinary world, it would have undoubtedly split in two, no chance of escape.

But the Tao Array merely vibrated and showed no signs of cracking, yet this time, the bizarre sounds of musical instruments were even stronger, and even the Wan Ming Tome had difficulty suppressing them.

Just as he considered whether to take out the Yue Guang Divine Spear and give it a hard strike, Houtu, who had retreated earlier, suddenly spoke loudly:

“Han, hold on.”

“This is the Ancient Thirty-Three Music Dao Array, and if not handled properly, only the third step of the Tao Realm can forcibly open it.”

“I have had the fortune to see this ancient array before, please let me give it a try.”

Han Yi stopped his actions and did not rashly pull out the Yue Guang Divine Spear. According to Houtu Taoist Ancestor, only the third step of the Tao Realm could break it, so even if he used the Yue Guang Divine Spear, at most he could disturb the second step, but couldn’t reach the third step of the Tao Realm.

Moreover,

listening to Houtu Taoist Ancestor, it seemed she had seen this bizarre Tao Array before and even had a method to solve it.

Han Yi held the Divine Axe and retreated a distance, saying at the same time:

“Houtu Taoist Ancestor, please be careful. This Tao Array is not simple.”

Houtu Taoist Ancestor nodded, her expression grave.

She certainly knew the Tao Array was not simple. The Ancient Thirty-Three Music Dao Array was an extremely powerful array, one she had encountered even in the Ancient Era.

Back then,

the Extreme Ancient had not yet shattered, and the Ancient Evil, Ancient Immortals, and Ancient Gods were still present. The Heavenly Venerates sometimes imparted their teachings, and although the atmosphere had occasional tension, generally, the hostility among them was not strong.

One Heavenly Venerate, during a discussion about the Dao, mentioned this Tao Array, highlighting its strength and the method to break the array. He even personally demonstrated the techniques for arranging and breaking the array.

The time from the Ancient Era was incredibly long, and it was only the bizarre musical sounds emitted when Han Yi chopped at the Tao Array that reminded Houtu Taoist Ancestor of that ancient demonstration by the Ancient Heavenly Venerate.

At that moment, as Han Yi stepped back and Houtu moved forward toward the Tao Array, she took out a golden transverse flute and began to play it.

The sonorous and deep divine melody dispersed from the golden flute, weaving continuously like threads.

From a distance, Han Yi, watching the Tao Array, raised his eyebrows with divine light flickering in his eyes.

“To think it could be done like this?”

At that moment in his vision, the gray-lighted Tao Array began to change. The glow on the Tao Array, following the deep and lingering flute sounds, started to fluctuate and transform.

This situation resembled a master musician playing an instrument, while another expert musician followed the beat, complementing each other perfectly.

Quite mystical.

Three breaths later, Houtu Taoist Ancestor’s speed of playing the flute changed, from somber to fierce, as if thousands of troops were charging into battle, overwhelming and surging.

Meanwhile, the luminous fluctuations of the Tao Array outside the palace also changed, becoming intense.

Another three breaths passed, and Houtu Taoist Ancestor changed again, from fierce to bold, like a swordsman roaming the rivers and lakes, upholding justice.

The luminous fluctuations of the Tao Array followed suit.

Another three breaths, and Houtu Taoist Ancestor’s tone changed again…

Thus, every interval of three breaths, the sound of her flute underwent one transformation after another, either low or high, either rushing incessantly or whispering quietly…

And the Tao Array fluctuated accordingly.

After thirty-three changes in the music of Tao, this Tao Array seemed as satisfied as a musician and slowly dissipated.

Boom!!

The sea water backfilled, surging into the skewed palace, and submerged this mysterious palace that had been silent in this place for over a dozen Chaos Eras.

At the same moment.

On Han Yi’s panel, pale red text appeared:

“Life Seed found, absorb?”

Han Yi resisted the temptation within his heart and did not immediately absorb it.

Because he had not come alone on this journey, but with Houtu Taoist Ancestor, and without her, even if he had used the Yue Guang Divine Spear, he might not have been able to break through this divine Tao Array.

His Taoist heart was firm, naturally, he would not engage in the act of secretly stealing the origin.

However.

He had already sensed the origin aura, naturally, he was supposed to act and collect it, as for how to distribute it, that could be discussed later.

Just as the seawater was backfilling into the palace, Han Yi once again transformed into a ten thousand feet tall divine clan member, and with a single probing hand, he reached into the palace, collapsing numerous decayed structures, and retrieved three white crystal stones.

“Origin Crystal in hand, Houtu, let’s go.”

At the same time.

Packing up her flute, Houtu Taoist Ancestor chose to trust Han Yi, she swung the Yellow Ling God Belt, shredding the palace to ascertain there was no more origin aura left, then followed Han Yi toward the entrance of this Water World.

As they fled, the world began to shake. This was because the palace and Tao Array that had suppressed the world had vanished, and this world, which should have already shattered, began its return to the Chaos.

Outside, in the midst of Fire Hell ruins, underneath the cover of the Three Thousand Sword Realm, an ethereal Cave Heaven, its entrance began to blur and, just before the entrance completely disappeared, two figures escaped from it, revealing the forms of Han Yi and Houtu.

With a wave of his hand, Han Yi retracted the Three Thousand Sword Realm and fled outward, with Houtu following closely behind.

A moment later.

The two stopped on a fragment at the periphery of the ruins.

Han Yi took the three obtained crystal stones out, placed them in front of him, and with a joyful expression turned to Houtu and said:

“These should be three Water Attribute Origin Crystals.”

Houtu Taoist Ancestor nodded, “Indeed, they should be Water Attribute Origin Crystals.”

“Three crystals, truly a tremendous opportunity.”

She looked at Han Yi and sincerely said, “Although I was the last to break the array, I didn’t exert much effort, it was mainly led by you, Han.”

“How about this distribution, two crystals for you, Han, and one for me?”

Han Yi’s mind turned, he then nodded immediately, “The Origin Crystals are of great use to me.”

“If so, then I shall not refuse.”

Han Yi pushed one of the Origin Crystals towards Houtu Taoist Ancestor, and absorbed the remaining two crystals into his body.

Houtu Taoist Ancestor solemnly gathered the Origin Crystal, her expression radiating joy, brilliant to all directions.

“Wonderful, with this Origin Crystal, I can forge another Tao Artifact, which will strengthen my ability to protect myself while traveling through the Chaos.”

She looked at Han Yi and asked, “You are probably not in a rush to return to the Extreme Ancient, so why don’t you explore this central region of the Fire Hell ruins with me next?”

“Who knows, we might find more Origin Crystals.”

Upon hearing this, Han Yi’s thoughts whirred in his mind, but he gently spoke out:

“Exploring ruins, I am naturally willing to accompany.”

“However, before that, I need to find a safe place in the Chaos to break through to the Tao Realm first.”

Upon hearing this, Houtu’s expression slightly shifted:

“You intend to attract Tao Tribulation in the Chaos?”
