Chapter 1598: Chapter 685: Return to Daluo, Continue the Tao Battle Chapter 1598: Chapter 685: Return to Daluo, Continue the Tao Battle Han Yi did not know that Houtu had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He sprinted through Chaos with the speed of the Infinite True Realm, encountering many Chaotic Evil Gods along the way who wished to head toward the Eternal Tao Trace.

Most of these Evil Gods were at the Immortal Venerable level, with one at the Tao Realm. Immortal Venerable level Chaotic Evil Gods, sensing the Infinite aura from Han Yi from a great distance, would avoid him early on. However, the Tao Realm Evil God tried to probe Han Yi’s reality and, upon approaching, was directly killed by his axe, swiftly and decisively.

This scene terrified the surrounding Chaotic Evil Gods, chilling their hearts and almost causing their souls to flee, prompting them to escape using secret techniques.

By the time Han Yi saw the outlines of the Ancient Great World again, it had been a full three years since he left the Eternal Tao Trace.

In that time, he spent the first year using the speed of the Infinite True Realm, as fast as a peak first step Tao Realm cultivator. For the next two years, he slowed down, entering within the Demon Sword of Selflessness, allowing it to carry him as he flew through Chaos.

Without a Tao Artifact level Taoist Boat, he used the Demon Sword as a substitute, which was not much different.

Though his speed was reduced, it was still comparable to that of an ordinary Tao Realm cultivator.

Inside the Demon Sword, he did not cease his cultivation but seized the time to transform his grasp of Taoist Traces into his fundamental strength.

The understanding of the Eternal Tao Trace was not something illusory and ephemeral, but rather something tangible and traceable. Such understanding would deepen a cultivator’s insight into the Dao, whether it was the cultivation of Immortal Skills, Tao Skills, Law Creation, condensing Tao Fruit, or dealing with the Outer Path or Harmonization, these insights would be greatly beneficial.

Before the Boundary Wall of the Ancient Great World, the Selfless Demon Sword came to a halt, and Han Yi stepped out from it.

First, he stowed the Demon Sword, then gazed towards the Ancient Great World. The direction he looked towards was not the Boundary Wall but the location of the Halo Passage.

In that spot, he did not see the Chonglou Heavenly Sovereign.

The last time he left the Ancient Great World was to raid the Wisdom Realm, so he had not taken the nearest passage but instead crossed the Void, breaking through the Boundary Wall, before stepping into Chaos.

This time, upon his return, there was no need to conceal his movements; therefore, the quickest route was to take the Halo Passage.

He flew towards the Halo Passage, and in a moment, he reached the edge of the Passage, scanning the area and finding no one keeping watch.

Afterward, he entered the Passage. Inside, it was still consistent with the original formation of the Passage. Though thousands of years had passed, he skillfully found the branch leading to Daluo.

Crossing the Light Array, the space changed, the brightness in front of his eyes suddenly increased, and he was back in the Daluo Territory.

“Finally, I’m back.”

Han Yi took a deep breath, and as if a wanderer returning home, his heart involuntarily relaxed.

This journey through Chaos, although it was his second time stepping into it, differed from the previous occasion when Nangong Hao had taken him to the Ancestral God Star. That trip to the Ancestral God Star was strictly a straight line where he had only stayed in the Nangong Divine Clan and neighboring regions for a while.

This time, after the battle at the Great Black Heaven Ancient City, he separated from the Xuan Zang Taoist Ancestor, planning to snatch the Life Seeds on his own.

Thereafter, he encountered no small number of events.

He met Houtu, slew Tricksters, explored the remnants of Fire Hell, joined the Ten Thousand Travel Palace, observed the Eternal Tao Trace, killed a Tao Realm figure from the True Holy Palace, and after a brief struggle with a Taoist Fruit Realm formidable being, he retreated back to the Ancient Great World.

To say that the experience was turbulent and magnificent would be an understatement.

And strictly speaking, the time span was still less than a hundred years.

After stepping out of the Passage, he appeared in the central area of the Daluo Territory, which was the domain of Purgatory Island.

Just as Han Yi materialized,

In a certain place on Purgatory Island, a Taoist opened his eyes and with a wave of his hand, summoned a jade disk. This jade disk contained streams of red and black, now pulled into a straight line, pointing in a certain direction.

“That genius of the Age Candle has returned.”

“And it seems he has come back alone.”

“The distance is not far.”

“Good opportunity.”

The Taoist left his place of cultivation, transmitting his thoughts and scanning outward. Moments later, a second Taoist arrived, and together they fled outwards, heading towards the location indicated by the red and black streams of the jade disk.

If Han Yi were here, he would recognize these two Taoists from Purgatory Island as the ones he had encountered when returning to the Age Candle after discussing the reopening of the Wisdom Realm’s expedition in the Daluo Dao Court.

At that time, these two had attempted to ambush and kill Han Yi, but he used the Gluttonous Sacrifice Divine Axe to break through their encirclement and successfully escaped.

This time, Han Yi’s return, especially at the proximity of Purgatory Island, presented a rare opportunity they intended to seize.

With the speed of their Tao Realm cultivation, it only took a few breaths for them to intercept Han Yi at the edge of Emperor Fallen Sky Pond.

This location was not far from Age Candle.

“Quick battle, quick decision. We must kill Han Yi before the two Tao Realm figures from Age Candle make a move.”

“Hmm? Something’s not right. Han Yi has actually ascended to the Tao Realm?”

“With that, we must kill him even more so.”

The faces of the two Taoists from Purgatory Island changed several times, but discovering Han Yi’s Tao Realm aura, rather than retreating, solidified their resolve to kill him on the spot.

However, the Han Yi caught in the middle was different from last time. Previously, he was anxious to break free from the siege of the numerous Tao Realms, eager to escape.

But this time, his demeanor was calm; he simply scanned toward the main island of Purgatory Island and, finding no other Taoist Fruit Realm or Outer Dao Realm figures, he let out a breath of relief.

Immediately,

His murderous intent burned with a fervor as intense as a raging fire.

The grudge from the last ambush, he intended to properly settle with them this time.
