Chapter 1667 - Chapter 1667 Chapter 719 Infinite Intermediate Stage Changes

Chapter 1667: Chapter 719: Infinite Intermediate Stage, Changes in the Dao Stele_2 Chapter 1667: Chapter 719: Infinite Intermediate Stage, Changes in the Dao Stele_2 He reined in that thought, and then began to gather most of the Divine Force from his Divine Aperture World, transforming it into an engraving knife. This time, the knife he formed was the sum of all the Divine Force he could muster. Any additional Divine Force was required to maintain the operation of the Divine Aperture World; taking any more could cause its collapse.

The knife touched the bottom of the stele, starting to carve, but to his shock, the hardness of the stele was too terrifying. No matter how much he ground the knife, it left only a single scratch.

It was worth noting that this was a condensation of nearly all his Divine Force; even if it were a Great World that the knife poked, even the firmest world barrier would be pierced through.

He persisted for a whole day, yet he managed to carve only a shallow character mark.

He stopped there, not continuing but instead cast his thoughts into his mind, onto the Wan Ming Tome, sensing for a while but unable to make contact with his Tao Realm incarnations outside.

It seemed that the level of this core place was almost comparable to the Wan Ming Tome, not falling too far behind.

He was currently stuck at the initial stage of the Infinite Realm, just short of reaching the middle stage of the Infinite Realm. Once he broke through to the middle stage, his Divine Force would further increase, and by then, he should be able to leave marks on the stele.

If he had the assistance of the more than eighty external Tao Realm incarnations providing Skill Level, he wouldn’t need more than ten years to accomplish this.

But now, having lost contact, he had to think of another way.

An idea struck him: if the task in this Reincarnation World required him to kill, what if he developed these Robbing cultivators into Tao Realm incarnations, persevering until he was ousted–could that be feasible?

With the thought flickering, Han Yi decided to give it a try.

First, he traveled across the entire fragmented continent using Intangible Skills, discovering that the Robbing cultivators here were no different in Ancient Demon Cultivation from the ones he had encountered in Demon Valley previously.

There was one Taoist Fruit Realm Robbing cultivator here, seven at the first step of the Tao Realm, with the rest being Immortal Venerates and Immortal Monarchs.

Using Intangible Skills, he started to capture all Taoist Fruit Realm and First Step Tao Realm cultivators, as well as all the Immortal Venerates and Monarchs, leaving only one Immortal Monarch not transformed, transforming the rest into his own Wan Ming incarnations.

Afterward, he had these Wan Ming incarnations cultivate the Universal Fate Combine Tao Canon and left a restriction behind: if these incarnations couldn’t sense the presence of the Soul Master, they would self-destruct.

Twenty years later.

Han Yi sensed a grand will concentrating on him, ready to oust him.

With a wave of his hand, he killed the only Immortal Monarch he had not transformed, and the other Wan Ming incarnations he had transformed also had their Divine Souls extinguished and perished–spirit and Tao both–at his single thought.

The pervasive grand will paused slightly but still ousted him, with a voice following.

“Exterminated eight million Robbing cultivators, combat achievements +1.”

This voice caused a shift in Han Yi’s expression, as it was definitely an unexpected boon.

The next instant, his surroundings changed, and he was back above the clouds.

This time, the figures around him were almost as numerous as they had been the last time they were all present. The Taoist Fruit cultivator who had previously approached to share information glanced at Han Yi and shook his head slightly.

In his view, Han Yi must have lingered in the Reincarnation World until the last moment, which was why he was the last to emerge.

However, he had tried this approach many times to no avail; it ultimately left him disappointed, with no beneficial changes.

The Taoist Fruit cultivator didn’t approach again, and Han Yi patiently waited for half an hour. After half an hour, the Reincarnation World opened again, and he was pulled back in.

This time, the task was to exterminate a group of Different Race beings wandering through Chaos. His method was the same as with the Robbing cultivators, transforming them into Wan Ming incarnations and then extinguishing their souls at the last moment before being ousted.

This way, he could enhance the progress of his Divine Canons and also gain combat achievements. Although he didn’t know what use combat achievements had, having them was certainly better than not.

After that, every half an hour, he underwent another cycle in the Reincarnation World, and in each, he employed the same strategy.

Time in the Reincarnation World and the real world was not synchronized; what was ten years or even several decades in the Reincarnation World was at most half an hour in the real world.

Entering the Reincarnation World in his true form once again, Han Yi’s Skill Level, leveraging this discrepancy, began to rise swiftly.

It was as if he was using a ‘Time House’ to rapidly accumulate Skill Level.

In the fifth Reincarnation World, this time his task was to exterminate one hundred thousand Alien Insects. These Alien Insects weren’t categorized as Evil Clan; above the mother bug, they had intelligence. The child bugs below the mother bug all listened only to her, or rather, the child and mother bugs essentially shared the same mind.

This was somewhat similar to the Insect Clan in the starry world that Han Yi knew of before he traversed worlds.

As before, he didn’t swiftly exterminate the Insect Clan but captured the mother bug, transforming it into a Wan Ming incarnation to provide Skill Level.

To Han Yi’s astonishment, this combination of mother and child bugs offered Skill Level that was more than twice as high as that of a normal Tao Realm being.

After a mere three years,

Han Yi saw on the panel that the progress of the Divine Canon finally crossed 49/100, reaching 50/100.

In the instant of crossing, he quivered all over, and Divine Force surged wildly through his body, like a vast river in a torrential uproar, raising boundless howls.

Moreover, while surging, the volume of the Divine Force remained the same, but its quality had increased by roughly fivefold.

In other words, a strand of his Divine Force now possessed the might equivalent to five strands from before the breakthrough.

Hence, he had broken through to the mid-stage of the Infinite Realm.

He immediately took out the Chongxuan Stele, condensed an inscribing knife, and continued to carve at the very bottom of the stele; although still difficult, to his delight, a full force stroke could now leave a mark.

These marks were no longer superficial scratchings, but truly became characters branded upon the stele.

He painstakingly carved his name “Han Yi” at the very bottom of the stele, taking up a full thirty minutes of his time.

During this half-hour, he was completely focused, exercising extreme caution.

After completing the final step, he retracted the inscribing knife, finally letting out a slow sigh of relief.

Immediately,

He quietly waited, but there was no change at all, and despite having endured countless tribulations over ten thousand years, he still felt slightly anxious at this moment.

Three days passed like this, still without the slightest change.

Han Yi shifted his thoughts, not continuing to wait any longer; perhaps further stimulation was needed to induce change.

First, he carried the stele so it wouldn’t leave his body.

In previous attempts, he had tested that weapons refined by a bearer, once expelled, did not disappear but remained in hand.

The stele was of great importance; even if this experiment were to fail, he was unwilling to lose the stele.

Next,

With a wave of his hand, he killed a spare mother insect that had not been transformed into an incarnation; at the same time, with a thought, all Wan Ming Incarnations perished in an instant.

The very next moment,

That mysterious power reappeared, with a majestic voice following.

“Three thousand mother insects slain, combat record +1.”

As soon as the voice faded,

The Chongxuan Stele resting on Han Yi’s shoulders shook slightly, and a trace, faint to the extreme, of Taoism emerged from within the stele.

Had Han Yi not been observing the stele’s minute changes with his entire being, he would not have been able to detect this whiff of Taoism.

At the same time,

The force acting upon him did not disappear and continued to expel him.

Han Yi’s view changed.

But this time, he did not appear above the clouds, but instead found himself standing on the ground, a sensation that provided an instant calmness to his heart.

Before him, a building was hidden within the mist, only a corner revealed, and here Han Yi’s visibility was extremely low, limited to around a hundred meters, while the range of his Tao Thought didn’t exceed three hundred meters.

From the visible part, it could be inferred that the building was a High Tower; in other words, he was now standing in front of a High Tower, surrounded by mist.

He took a deep breath, not moving any closer, but first slowly set down the Chongxuan Stele.

When the Chongxuan Stele stood erect on the ground again, the Taoism above it, as if replenished, began to strengthen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Han Yi’s attention was now drawn to the very last line on the stele; originally, it had been empty except for his name carved with Divine Force, but now, right after his name, there appeared Chaos Characters.
