Chapter 1684 - Chapter 1684 Chapter 727 Shattered World The Age Candle Has

Chapter 1684: Chapter 727: Shattered World, The Age Candle Has Not Returned_2 Chapter 1684: Chapter 727: Shattered World, The Age Candle Has Not Returned_2 If these continents could withstand the coming destruction calamity, they would be reborn anew, having passed through a catastrophe–this is the cycle of creation and destruction on a world scale.

After that, the world would expand, signifying the beginning of the expansion of the void space.

In summary, before destruction arrives, the void condenses, and the world shrinks. After destruction, rebirth flourishes, void expands, and the world enlarges–this complete process is like the breath of a world.

One breath in, one breath out, completes the cycle of life and death.

At this moment, outside the world walking towards ruin, numerous figures surrounded it. These figures were so powerful that Han Yi felt a sense of danger looming in his heart, likely Integration Dao Level cultivators.

Moreover, over ninety percent of them were Tao Realm beings.

After the world’s destruction, the treasures that formed the foundation of the world would scatter into the chaos. For those in the Tao Realm, these treasures were extremely precious.

Even among them were world-class Supreme Treasures, coalesced from the Origin’s aura.

However…

Han Yi’s gaze shifted towards a figure seated at the center of the crumbling world–this figure, undying despite the myriad calamities, seemed to have always existed since time immemorial.

This was a Heavenly Sovereign.

Han Yi’s gaze moved, suppressing his thoughts about the dying world, and said solemnly,

“The time until the world’s destruction is uncertain–it could be in half an hour, or this world could still withstand a hundred or even a thousand years more.”

“Moreover, with a Heavenly Sovereign presiding over this world, before its complete destruction, they would definitely strike to kill any Outer World Cultivators who covet the world’s Supreme Treasures.”

“The might of the Heavenly Sovereign is not to be violated.”

“Let’s go.”

Han Yi took one more look at the world on the brink of collapse, recalled his Tao Body, stepped into the Taoist Boat, and with a shudder, it swiftly departed.

Next, the Taoist Boat headed towards the Eastern Realm, and along the way, it encountered several traps set by Robbing cultivators.

One of the ambushes even involved Outer Path Realm Robbing cultivators. Han Yi decisively took action, slaughtering an Outer Path Realm Immortal cultivator and capturing several Tao Fruits and common Tao Realm individuals.

Over the nearly thirty years since leaving the Fengdu Divine Race, Han Yi had not simply followed a routine cultivation practice. Instead, he made a major decision: to spend forty out of his five hundred thousand Life Seeds. This advanced his Divine Canons from the medium phase of the Infinite High Rank to the later medium phase, more than doubling his Divine Clan’s combat power.

Of these five hundred thousand Life Seeds, over three hundred and eighty thousand were earned by himself. The remaining one hundred and ten thousand came from a complete Purple Extreme Origin Crystal obtained by another Tao Realm Incarnation in the Ancestral God Domain’s Divine Wonder Relic.

The reason he did not invest all the remaining one hundred thousand Life Seeds into the Divine Canons was partly because he estimated that even this amount would likely fail to break through to the Infinite High-rank. On the other hand, he needed to reserve some Life Seeds for unforeseen circumstances.

With a realm close to the Infinite High-rank, Han Yi’s combat power was already at a peak among the Outer Path. He had not clashed with an Integration Dao Level opponent and was unaware of the wonders of this realm, but he already had considerable experience and insights in dealing with Outer Path Realm’s Outer Path Dharma.

When Han Yi, passing through the Taoist Boat, saw the outline of the Ancient Great World after another thirty-three years, his Wan Ming Incarnation, along with eighteen companions at his side and one hundred sixty-five placed within the Incarnation Tao Domain, amounted to a total of one hundred and eighty-three Tao Realm Incarnations.

During these thirty-three years, from the Northern Boundary to the Eastern Realm and then across to the southeast position, he finally arrived at the Ancient Great World. As for his realm, with the proficiency provided by the one hundred and seventy-plus Tao Realm Incarnations, his integration progress with the Tao Fruit and Tao Realm also shot up to 34/100.

As for the Divine Canons, he left the proficiency to seven Infinite Realm

Divine Clan members. From then on, Divine Clan and non-Divine Clan Tao Realm Incarnations parted ways, each responsible for Divine Canons and Tao scripture, separately, and thus more efficient.

Storing the Taoist Boat, with eighteen Wan Ming Incarnations beside him, Han Yi swept towards the Ancient Great World. This time, he did not want to pass through the Boundary wall but instead wished to enter directly through the outer Halo Passage. This would allow him to directly reach the Daluo Immortal Realm.

Although it seemed close at hand, it still took him thirty minutes to arrive at the Halo Passage on the outside.

He looked around and saw no one guarding the Halo Passage. So, he mustered his Divine Force, condensed his Divine Armor, retrieved the Gluttonous Sacrifice, and prepared to deal with any unexpected events that might arise from passing through the space.

“`

Then, he stepped forward and entered the Halo Passage.

The space shifted, and he entered the passage to the Daluo Territory, passing through the second passage and finally entering the Daluo Immortal Realm.

Upon entering the Daluo Immortal Realm, he did not feel any particular change.

Actually,

due to his realm upgrade, after entering the Fuheng Taoist Area, Han Yi had established a faint connection with the Wan Ming Incarnation in the Ancient Great World. This connection allowed skill level to be reflected on the panel.

However, the many incarnations he left behind in the Ancient Great World did not possess a Tao Realm; they were all at or below the level of Immortal Venerate. While they had been of some help to his earlier Immortal Venerate and initial entry into the Tao Realm stage, they would offer little progress no matter how many years passed.

During the journey of over thirty years, his connection with these incarnations grew stronger, and upon entering the Eastern Realm, he was finally able to establish a connection with the Wan Ming Incarnation.

Although these incarnations were all at or below the level of Immortal Venerate, they still had a considerable understanding of the Ancient Great World’s situation.

After receiving messages from the multitude of incarnations, Han Yi too had come to understand the current circumstances of the Ancient Great World.

Two hundred and fifty years prior, a Heavenly Sovereign had begun to return to the Ancient Great World.

This timing coincided exactly with when they encountered the Chaotic Ancient Immortal Tomb in the Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain.

However, not all of the Heavenly Sovereigns returned to the Ancient Great World; even the Hongjun Great Heavenly Venerate from Mount Kunlun had not come back, and there were several others who had not returned. Specifically to the Daluo Immortal Realm, this included both the Age Candle Heavenly Venerate and the Taiyi Heavenly Sovereign.

Nevertheless,

although the likes of Hongjun Great Heavenly Venerate and Age Candle Heavenly Venerate had not returned and no abnormalities occurred, the absence of Taiyi Heavenly Sovereign was due to his demise.

The anomaly of his downfall had occurred two hundred and fifty years ago.

That day, the entire Donghuang Evil Court experienced a phenomenon of falling heavenly fire, turning to ash, the Great Tao mourned with continuous quakes, drawing the attention of all cultivators in the Ancient Great World; even Chonglou Heavenly Sovereign, who presided over this realm, issued a sigh.

This aligned with the sea of fire that Han Yi had witnessed in the Chaotic Ancient Dao Domain and what he had deduced about Donghuang Taiyi’s fall, which was not beyond his expectations.

Nevertheless, there was also a golden egg in his Divine Aperture World, related to the sea of fire that formed after Donghuang Taiyi’s fall, and due to the relation to Eastern Emperor Unique, this cause and effect was also tied to himself.

Of course, this wasn’t his main concern; what concerned him the most was the matter of Age Candle Heavenly Venerate’s absence.

Looking around, Han Yi’s expression grew solemn.

The Age Candle Heavenly Venerate had not returned, yet both the Palace Master of the Void Demon Palace and the Island Master of Purgatory Island, who were also Heavenly Sovereigns, had. Although the Daluo Immortal Realm was outwardly calm at the moment, there were undoubtedly undercurrents stirring in the shadows.

Behind him, the Wan Ming Incarnations emerged one after another, but just like him, they all reduced their aura to the weakest.

At this moment, the area where he appeared was to the south of Purgatory Island and north of the Daluo Dao Court. This area was the central location of the Daluo Immortal Realm; next, Han Yi led his incarnations directly north towards the Age Candle.

Naturally, although they hid their auras, surrounding major powers had deployed Daoist-level experts here. When Han Yi and his incarnations appeared, they sent word back to their respective forces.

Han Yi paid no attention to these Daoist-level experts; he continued north, bordering Lingxiao Immortal Court and Purgatory Island. With his speed, even when accompanied by some slower incarnations, it only took a few breaths to reach the Age Candle Immortal Court.

Before entering the Age Candle Immortal Court, he settled all of the Wan Ming Incarnations outside the Immortal Court, allowing them to choose mountain ranges and Cave Mansions to lie low, emphasizing that they were not to cause trouble at will.

After all, the hundred-plus Wan Ming Incarnations he had transformed weren’t just Lawless Ones, Tao Contrarians, or Sacrificers who stirred up chaos and caused destruction. They were Immortal cultivators and Divine Race cultivators who specialized in pillaging, causing slaughter and devastation amidst chaos.

To say they were lawless wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Without restraints, it wasn’t just the Daluo Territory that would be in disarray; the entire Ancient Great World might be thrown into chaos because of them.

After arranging the Dao Realm incarnations, Han Yi headed towards the Age Candle Immortal Court.

And as Han Yi’s presence was felt, three powerful auras of the Tao Realm on Age Candle Mountain began to stir.
