Chapter 1679 - Chapter 1679 Chapter 725 The Dharma of Poison Ancestor Demon

Chapter 1679: Chapter 725: The Dharma of Poison, Ancestor Demon Emerges Chapter 1679: Chapter 725: The Dharma of Poison, Ancestor Demon Emerges In the Divine Valley, over sixty cultivators made their moves to collect the Source Crystal Fragments dispersing from below the valley.

As the ownerless Source Crystals inside the valley became increasingly scarce, some powerful cultivators began to set their sights on fellow cultivators nearby.

Rather than competing for the remaining scattered fragments, it was naturally more profitable to directly take them from others.

Hence, the surrounding mountain peaks began to experience chaotic battles, with Unity Realm Stage cultivators attacking those of the Outer Path Realm, and Outer Path Realm cultivators attacking those of the Daoist Fruit Realm and ordinary Tao Realm; as for those in the Daoist Fruit Realm and ordinary Tao Realm, they almost immediately fled as the melee commenced.

For those of ordinary Tao Realm or Daoist Fruit Realm, the gains from this venture were already sufficient. Staying behind for the few remaining fragments would undoubtedly result in their deaths.

For Han Yi, facing the Unity Realm Stage made him somewhat apprehensive, but confronting someone from the Outer Path Realm did not deter him from a fight.

After snatching a thin crystal fragment the size of half a fingernail and storing it in his Divine Aperture World, he noticed a cultivator from the Outer Path Realm sweeping towards him. His aura might not be obvious, but the imminent danger from the Outer Path made Han Yi’s heart skip slightly.

In terms of realm, he had just stepped into the Daoist Fruit Realm; his Divine Clan aura was at the mid-tier Infinite Realm, which didn’t significantly enhance his essence. Furthermore, he always used the Intangible Skill to conceal his Divine Clan aura, only revealing his Daoist Fruit essence.

The approaching Outer Path cultivator was a tall, thin young man with murderous intent lurking in his eyes. Despite the distance, he had already initiated his Outer Path Dharma.

His Outer Path Dharma was a headless black shadow that stood three zhang tall behind him, exuding a deadly poisonous aura. Wherever it passed, even the space of remnants was greatly affected, leaving behind a trail of black mist.

This stream of black mist continued to spread on both sides. Should any ordinary Tao Realm cultivator pass by and get contaminated by this black mist, they would either be severely injured or suffer from Daoist Fruit poisoning and wither, their Tao Body losing vitality, ultimately leading to death by dissolution of their Taoist Path.

Such was the fearsome might of an Outer Path Realm cultivator who practiced the Poison Dao and their Outer Path Dharma.

As this Outer Path Realm cultivator closed in on Han Yi, the black shadow behind him suddenly surged upward and slapped towards Han Yi.

This single slap encompassed a ten-mile radius within its attack range. Its target was not only Han Yi but also two Daoist Fruit Realm cultivators who had been preparing to flee but hadn’t yet managed to escape–they were both within the strike’s range.

One of the Daoist Fruit Realm cultivators screamed, sacrificed a Tao Artifact to escape contamination, and managed to get away. The other was more severely affected; one of his arms got contaminated with the poisonous mist. He amputated it to save his life, but the poison had already seeped into his Tao Body. Even if he escaped, unless he could expel the poison from his Tao Body, he would become increasingly weaker.

Meanwhile, Han Yi simply arched his brows. This was his first encounter with such a ‘poisonous’ cultivator, capable of tainting even the space itself. The toxicity that harmed or killed upon contact with those in the Daoist Fruit Realm made him particularly cautious.

He still wielded the Feast Sacrifice Divine Axe, an artifact at the Peak of Infinite Realm, which had accompanied him for a long time and could still be used even after he stepped into the Heavenly Sovereign Realm and beyond.

Moreover, his arsenal was somewhat limited when facing cultivators beyond the Outer Path Realm, possessing only the Feast Sacrifice and Yue Guang artifacts. His strongest weapon, a mid-tier Tao Sword, could crush those at or below the Daoist Fruit level with his combat power, but he would be at a disadvantage against those from the Outer Path Realm and above.

A dark glow like a river’s gentle waves subtly began shimmering on the Feast Sacrifice Divine Axe, and its awe-inspiring might started to climb.

Facing the formidable toxic headless black shadow, Han Yi stepped forward, his form stretching to a height of ten zhang. A dark golden Divine Light spilled from the pores of his body, meeting the poison mist head-on with a sacred and intense aura.

Of course, even with protective Divine Arts, he wouldn’t directly withstand the toxicity-infused Outer Path Dharma with his Divine Body. Instead, he activated the Infinite Divine Armor, leveraging the momentum of his advancing Divine Body to swing the Divine Axe.

He executed the same technique he had used against the Nine Netherworlds’ Outer Path, releasing it again at this moment.

In an extremely brief moment, he delivered over a hundred axe strikes, combining all the attacks from the five forms of Feast Sacrifice into a singular assault aimed at the headless black shadow.

At the forefront of the attack was naturally the confronting black shadow. Being an Outer Path Dharma, in other words, a fusion of the opponent’s Daoist Fruit and Tao Realm, it was generally the strongest attack of an Outer Path Realm cultivator.

The Outer Path assailing Han Yi had also witnessed Han Yi slaying a Daoist Fruit Realm cultivator earlier; hence, he knew Han Yi was no ordinary Daoist Fruit and initiated his Outer Path Dharma, intending to defeat his adversary with a single blow.

Faced with the combined attack of the five forms of Feast Sacrifice, the headless black shadow reached out its hands directly for the blow.

BOOM!

Both combatants controlled their attacks within a limited scope, so the clash wasn’t particularly loud, only erupting within a few miles.

To an outsider, the collision appeared evenly matched.

But in reality, it was not.

The black shadow Dharma, hit by the streaming light of the Divine Art, saw one of its arms disperse instantly, although it quickly reformed. This proved that the Dharma’s arm had sustained considerable damage.

And the black fog released by the shadow’s strike, mostly dispersed by the Divine Art, left only a few traces on Han Yi’s body, which merely stained the surface of his Divine Armor with black mottled marks.

These traces gradually deepened yet were steadily erased by the Divine Force emanating from his body.
