It was only a moment, but the deadly black fog’s effect on Han Yi had dissipated into nothingness.

Relying on his strong Divine Force, Han Yi directly used it to nullify the opponent’s poison.

Seeing this, Han Yi was certain in his heart. He had feared that his Divine Force would not be enough to nullify the poison, allowing it to spread. If that were the case, facing his opponent would undoubtedly put him at a disadvantage and force him to flee.

But at this moment, his Divine Force was thicker and more dominant than the opponent’s poison; naturally, he held the upper hand.

The headless shadow swished back to the rear of the cultivator from the Outer Path Realm, whose expression was grave and filled with apprehension. He stared deeply at Han Yi for a moment and, without attacking further, turned and walked away without hesitation.

This scene was also witnessed by other cultivators of the Outer Path Realm in the vicinity, and they elevated Han Yi’s status to that of their equals.

In the Chaos, combat power serves as the pass.

Among the cultivators on the surrounding mountain peaks, apart from Han Yi, there were no members of the Divine Clan; most were Immortal cultivators, and some might be of the Different Race practicing cultivation. However, upon reaching the Dao Realm, they all cultivated Tao Force, converging to the same path.

Therefore, possessing the combat power of the Outer Path Realm while being in the Daoist Fruit Realm and identifying as a member of the Chaos Divine Race made others from the Outer Path even more wary of Han Yi.

Even a Daoist Master from the Unity Realm Stage cast a covert glance at him. Although he quickly averted his gaze, it still made Han Yi’s heart skip a beat.

Instead of seizing the opportunity to kill the poison-using cultivator from the Outer Path Realm, Han Yi retreated back to the mountain peak he previously occupied.

With too many cultivators nearby in the valley, going all out to kill the Outer Path cultivator could easily make him the mantis stalked by the oriole.

Moreover, considering that the valley periodically emitted thin Source Crystal Fragments, though he strongly desired to kill that Outer Path cultivator, he opted for restraint for the chance to acquire more Source Crystals.

Once he left this place, should he encounter the poison-using Outer Path Realm cultivator again, he would surely strike with lethal force.

At this moment,

The fine crystal fragments drifting up from below the valley had already been entirely claimed, and of the approximately sixty cultivators initially present around the valley, now only forty remained in play, with most of those who were knocked out being ordinary Dao Realm or Daoist Fruit Realm cultivators.

Of course,

With the valley returning to calm, some of the cultivators who had fled earlier stealthily returned, albeit to different locations, continuing to wait for the next ‘feast.’

Han Yi settled back into a seated position on the mountain peak he occupied, his mind sinking into the Divine Aperture World, calculating that this time he had acquired about thirteen crystal fragments.

He didn’t store them but, with a thought, converted all into Life Seeds, receiving fewer Life Seeds this time, about six thousand.

[Life Seeds: 383,176 units].

Although six thousand Life Seeds were few, it represented a sustainable income here. As long as one could be patient, not be ousted or flee, and no unpredictable events occurred, there would be a continuous influx of Origin Crystals, promising a great outlook.

Han Yi’s heart was filled with anticipation.

But just as this thought arose, suddenly a faint vibration emanated from the bottom of the valley, stirring all the surrounding cultivators. Any Dao Realm Cultivator could feel the slight tremor from beneath the valley.

“What’s happened?”

Han Yi leaped up and stood above the mountain peak, gazing down towards the valley. The other surrounding cultivators, including the Daoist Master from the Unity Realm Stage, did the same.

This valley, which periodically emits broken Origin Crystal Fragments, could indeed be described as an inexhaustible treasure trove, and none of the nearby cultivators wished for any mishaps.

Han Yi felt the same, unwilling for this hard-earned opportunity to gather Life Seeds to suddenly come to an end.

However, as the fluctuations in the valley grew more intense, he knew that something had changed.

Nonetheless, given that fragments of the Purple Extreme Origin Crystal could emerge from within the valley, he was not willing to leave immediately but instead bolstered his defenses and stayed.

The other surrounding cultivators did the same.

“””

You should know that this valley could condense fragments of the Purple Extreme Origin Crystal. If the shaking below eventually unleashed a massive burst of Origin Crystals, it might be the greatest opportunity they had encountered in their cultivation journey.

Moreover, before any danger occurs, the mindset of a Dao Realm Cultivator is steadfast; naturally, they do not falter without a fight.

This choice needed no consideration.

However, Han Yi still instinctively used his Tao Skills “Formlessness” to minimize his presence to the lowest limit, a reaction stemming from his instinct after nearly ten thousand years of cultivation.

And the shaking within the valley, as time passed, began to grow more and more intense, as if some giant creature was about to break free from within.

Han Yi’s expression also grew more solemn as time went by.

After thirty minutes, the shaking in the valley suddenly stopped, and everything returned to the calm state it was in before.

At the same time, a strange voice echoed in the minds of all Cultivators present.

“Ancestral God’s presence?”

“How long has it been, how long have I slept?”

No, this strange presence didn’t just reverberate in the minds of the Cultivators around the valley, but was heard by all Cultivators within the ruins.

Near the valley, just as the voice arose, Han Yi suddenly had his hair stand on end, his inner sense of danger violently shaking. Death clung to him, right in front of him.

“Not good.”

In an instant, ignoring the Origin Crystals, he turned and activated his maximum speed, frantically escaping.

Just as he turned, time near the valley seemed to slow down. Besides the six Daoist Masters who were at the Unity Realm Stage, some from the Outer Path Realm also moved similarly.

These Cultivators, whose expressions drastically changed and turned to flee, sensed a lethal danger in that moment. This unparalleled danger instantly shattered their inner warning defenses.

At that moment,

The calm in the valley lasted only for a split second before the entire valley was torn apart. A massive black arm stretched out, slamming into several surrounding mountains, instantly flattening them. Then, using this arm as a fulcrum, a giant overturned the entire valley including the peaks around it and the endless lands beyond the mountains.

During this process, although the Cultivators originally near the valley were only affected indirectly, nearly half of them perished on the spot. Those touched by the arm, brushed by it, or encountered by the giant as it rose were all directly destroyed under a terrifying force, their Taoist God Realms and lives obliterated.

Among them, a particularly unlucky Daoist Master in the Unity Realm happened to be right where the first arm slammed down. Unable to scream in horror and just as he turned to flee, his face only beginning to register fear, he felt his consciousness darken, never to have another thought arise.

Elsewhere,

Han Yi was slightly luckier, not within the range of impact of this first arm.

He squeezed out all his Divine Force and Tao Force, sustaining injuries to his Tao Body, and crazily increased his speed.

In only a brief moment, he had escaped a distance of over a hundred Immortal Domains, a speed that had entered the threshold of the Unity Realm Stage.

Then, he glanced behind with his peripheral vision only to see an enormous blurred figure standing where the valley once was, swelling in size at a rate beyond his comprehension. It was as if the valley had been sealing it, and this figure, upon breaking free, was originally a body compressed to its limit. Now, unbound, it finally began to unfurl and manifest its true form.

This expanding figure swiftly stretched into the Chaos above while its lower half remained inside the ruins. Its expanding body was only slightly slower than his current speed.

At the same time, a terrifying aura, far more dreadful than anything Han Yi had encountered in the Daoist God Continent or from the True Saint Palace Venerable, emanated from this figure.

Back in the Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain, Han Yi hadn’t witnessed the force of the Hongjun Great Heavenly Venerate. If he had, he could approximate that the aura of this figure appearing in the ruins was only slightly less formidable than that of the Hongjun Great Heavenly Venerate.

This was the aura of a Peak Venerable.

Han Yi’s expression changed again.
