Chapter 1694 - Chapter 1694 Chapter 732 Tao Sword Autumn Water Snap Fingers

Chapter 1694: Chapter 732: Tao Sword Autumn Water, Snap Fingers to Annihilate the Enemy_2 Chapter 1694: Chapter 732: Tao Sword Autumn Water, Snap Fingers to Annihilate the Enemy_2 Xuling Taoist greedily stared at the giant axe, and with just one glance, he deduced that it must be a high-level Taoist tool, a kind of artifact that was quite tempting to him.

He didn’t speak much, and a murderous intent flickered across his face before he made the first move. As soon as he struck, he used his most powerful method aside from the Outer Path Dharma, that is, a high-level Taoist tool that could bear his Dao skills, which was also the sect treasure of the Xuling Sect, the Xuling Tower.

This was a silver Dao tower with only six floors, emanating a strange glow.

Xuling Taoist took out this Dao tower, raised it in offering, and pressed down toward Han Yi. In his expectation, a mere Daoist Fruit Realm, no matter what methods were employed, could not escape the suppression of the Xuling Tower. After the suppression, he would be able to extract the opponent’s life force, maintain the Outer Path Dharma, and obtain the opponent’s high-level Taoist tool. That would be a great gain and could even become another sect treasure for the Xuling Sect.

But at this moment, Xuling Taoist did not know that a hundred miles in front of him, Han Yi, observing this tall and thin middle-aged Taoist, furrowed his brow.

There were two reasons for his frown. One was that he did not recognize this Outer Path Realm cultivator. What non-recognition meant here was that the other party was definitely not from the Void Demon Palace or the Purgatory Island cultivators of the Outer Path.

These two major forces at the Heavenly Sovereignty level, one to the south and one to the north of the Age Candle Immortal Court, had not taken action or appeared in recent years, but their descriptions had been gathered; their appearances were not secret among the forces at the Immortal Court level.

Therefore, he originally thought that upon his return to the Ancient Continent, the first battle with an opponent from the Outer Path Realm would be with the Great Elder of the Void Demon Palace or a Priest of Purgatory Island.

But he did not recognize this tall and thin middle-aged Taoist in front of him.

The other party might not even be a cultivator from the Daluo Territory, and perhaps not even a person from the Extreme Ancient, Han Yi suddenly had this thought.

The second reason for his frown was the other party’s aura, which was a bit strange. A flash of gold in the depths of his eyes allowed him to see a thirty-three-floor silver tower trembling and shifting within the opponent’s body. It seemed as though the space within the silver tower kept collapsing and repairing itself, the breath contracting and expanding, but overall, it weakened, gradually becoming frail.

Additionally, the silver tower that the Taoist had unleashed seemed to have only passable might, but the Chaotic Power it contained was pitifully scarce, which was not reasonable for an Outer Path Realm cultivator.

As his thoughts whirled, he had already realized that the Outer Path Cultivator only possessed, and could control, so much Chaotic Power, probably all used to sustain his collapsing Outer Path Dharma and could not be spared to enhance the Taoist tool.

For an ordinary Daoist Fruit Realm, such a high-level Taoist tool could almost cause a crushing situation; whether there was Chaotic Power involved was not a big concern.

But for Han Yi, it was…

Weak.

Yes, in his eyes, this tall and thin middle-aged Taoist was too weak, it was even fair to say he had a strong exterior but was weak inside.

Thus,

Facing the swiftly flying silver Dao tower that wanted to collect and suppress him, he did not destroy it, but instead, his figure flashed and suddenly disappeared.

A hundred miles away, the Xuling Taoist’s gaze stagnated, followed by an extreme sense of crisis spreading throughout his body, sending chills over him. Even his Outer Path Dharma could not be sustained or suppressed at this moment.

Next,

He saw the figure carrying the giant axe a hundred miles away was already in front of him, and simultaneously, a Tao Sword suddenly appeared before him. Strands of Chaotic Power wrapped around the Tao Sword, which was pure white all over. Its aura was not weaker than his own Xuling Tower. Undoubtedly, this was also a high-level Taoist tool.

But the Chaotic Power that swirled around this pure white Tao Sword exceeded his imagination, and even at his peak, he would have found it difficult to contend with.

“Damn it.”

“Misunderstanding, Daoist friend, this is a misunder…”

The Xuling Taoist’s complexion drastically changed, he wanted to retreat, but his speed was far inferior to the pure white Tao Sword. After only retreating a few dozen feet, he was pierced through by the Tao Sword.

This sword didn’t kill the Outer Path Realm cultivator, after all, the life force of those in the Outer Path Realm is quite terrifying, and with the blessing of the Outer Path Dharma, even if this Dharma was on the verge of collapsing, it was not so easy to kill.

But what followed was the cultivator waving his hand, pulling the surrounding space into Void and drawing the giant axe from his back. With one swing, terrifying Chaotic Power surged wildly, Divine Force like a tide, intense as endless divine fire, crushing everything in its path.

Under this axe, the wounded body of the Xuling Taoist, punctured by the Tao Sword, exploded with injuries. The Outer Path Dharma within him also burst apart.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the Eastern Emperor Domain, amidst the barbaric Sea Demon Territory, a surge of the destructive Tao Force ascended to the heavens, spreading far and wide in all directions, causing the very space to fall into a cycle of destruction and restoration.

A seemingly ordinary young man, bearing a colossal axe on his back, stood amidst the high skies, stepping on the very Power of Destruction. He grasped a continuously trembling silver tower in his hand, which, upon closer inspection, was not small at all–seeming to be millions of feet tall. Yet, in the palm of the youth, the Tower seemed like a world unto itself, held captive, futilely struggling for freedom to no avail.

This young man was naturally Han Yi. He glanced at the silver tower in his hand, a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

“Obey, or I will shatter you,” he threatened.

With his words, a tangible murderous intent, refined throughout countless years, enveloped the silver Tower and its Artifact Spirit, causing it to tremble in fear, truly believing that any further movement would lead to its own destruction.

Seeing that the silver tower had quieted down instantly, Han Yi withdrew the hand that had been reaching for the massive axe behind him. Then, with a thought, he captured the high-level Tao Artifact and suppressed it within his Divine Aperture World.

The silver Tower had tried to break free and fly towards the northwest, indicating that the origin of the Taoist he had just slain was related to some power in that direction.

After giving that direction a deep look, Han Yi retracted his gaze, stretching out his hand to smooth out the remnants of the destructive Power of Destruction left behind by the fall of an Outer Path cultivator.

“Surely, he was wounded; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been slain so easily,”

“It’s like walking into the line of fire,”

“Impeccable timing, as if sent to deliver a victory to me,”

Such thoughts flickered through Han Yi’s mind.

He had secretly established influences in the five directions and, after arriving as ‘Huang’ in the Eastern Emperor, knew that there was bound to be a Tao Battle here for him, with the weakest opponent surely from the Outer Path, or even, possibly, a Unity Realm Stage being hidden on Purgatory Island or in the Void Demon Palace, unknown to the world.

But he hadn’t expected the battle to come so coincidentally, and the opponent was not a cultivator from those two powers either.

Even less expected was how easy the battle turned out to be; with just one Jian and an axe, he managed to annihilate his opponent and even obtained a high-level Tao Artifact.

The pure white Tao Sword he took out was a war trophy he’d found in the Tao Realm exploded by an Outer Path Realm cultivator he had slain not long ago, while passing through the Eastern Realm.

The Sword was named “Autumn Water.”

A very common name. The pure white blade looked unremarkable and plain, but when Han Yi grasped the sword, he understood that it was a sword of slaughter and death.

He also grasped the meaning of “Autumn Water.”

It wasn’t the water of autumn, but rather…

Death as desolate as autumn’s chill, slaughter as unending as flowing water.

This was his first high-level quality Tao Sword, and its might astonished him with its power.

Furthermore,

He had executed the Void Sword Realm not just to conceal his moves but also to prevent the spreading of Chaotic Power after eradicating his foe, as Chaotic Power belonged to the Chaotic Forces, surpassing world-level energy. If not restrained, it could easily destroy the entire Sea Demon Territory.

In this Eastern Emperor Domain, Han Yi had plans to develop it into a secret domain exclusive to himself, naturally not wishing to cause undue destruction.

His gaze first turned southward, blocking a Tao Thought that had followed the trail of Cause and Effect to this place across an endless distance–the inquiry coming from Purgatory Island.

Then, with a flash, his figure disappeared from the spot.

After he vanished, from further south of Daluo and beyond its border, in the domain of the Void Demon Palace, a similar Tao Thought emanated, only to sense the lingering aura of death and receive no further response.

In the span of a flick, the Outer Path had fallen.
