Chapter 1787 - Chapter 1787 Chapter 779 Ancient City Fragments Tao Spirit

Chapter 1787: Chapter 779: Ancient City Fragments, Tao Spirit Consensus Chapter 1787: Chapter 779: Ancient City Fragments, Tao Spirit Consensus In front of Han Yi, an ancient city, not particularly large, was suspended in the thinning Chaos Qi.

This ancient city was old and dilapidated, even to the point of being riddled with scars. Its surface was mottled with bloodstains and densely crossed with all kinds of weapon marks, which made it horrifyingly ominous.

A fierce, scorching aura of blood and fire rushed towards him, and suddenly the surrounding scenery dramatically changed.

Battle hymns sounded, endless Immortals engaged in slaughter, world after world, Cave Heavens shattered, plummeted, and were destroyed.

Giant Tao Artifacts broke apart, ripping through the Chaos, crushing low-level Dao Realm Cultivators into spitting blood, scattering and fleeing into the Chaos.

Heavenly Sovereigns offered up Ancient Artifacts, collapsing Chaos, destroying space, and in their roaring wrath, they slaughtered enemies one by one, standing unyielding like Gods and Demons.

…

Here was a battlefield that spread across half a Daoist Domain, countless Immortals, Dao Realm Cultivators, Heavenly Sovereigns, and even those at Half-Step Transcendence had joined the large-scale battle.

This was where Wanming City fell from its revered altar, where the lineage of its power shattered.

Whoosh!!

The space before his eyes changed, the boundless slaughter illusion vanished in an instant, receding like the tide, leaving no trace behind.

Han Yi’s tense body slowly relaxed.

Although he knew that the Illusion Realm was fake, his body’s instincts screamed warnings; those battles of destruction, as if he was within them, made even escape seem difficult.

“Whew!” He took a deep breath.

Then, he continued towards the decrepit ancient city.

As he had inferred, this city should indeed be the Wanming City, sunken in that battle where Overlord-Level forces fell.

According to the legends…

Wanming City was an Ancient Artifact refined to utmost perfection, just one step away from a transformation that would turn it into a weapon of immense power for a Half-step Transcender.

If that had been the case, the owner of Wanming City, Wanming Daoist, also known as Wanming Venerable, would have possessed both the Wan Ming Tome and Wanming City–two supreme weapons, enough to overpower the Ancient Xuan Dao Sect, which was then equally matched with Wanming City.

Therefore, within the Ten Thousand Travel Palace, there were Cultivators who recorded and speculated that it was precisely because Wanming City was just a step away from a breakthrough that prompted the Ancient Xuan Dao Sect to take a desperate risk and strike down Wanming City in an uprising.

Moreover, despite Wanming City being directly confronted by the Ancient Xuan Dao Sect, there were at least four other major powers striking from the shadows, as Wanming City’s Lord was feared by many for the heaven-defying effects of the Wan Ming Tome.

“It’s actually Wanming City.”

Han Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart. He approached closer; if he could gain recognition from Wanming City with the help of the Wan Ming Tome, and take this powerful weapon with him, he would have another card up his sleeve, and this card would be much more powerful than the Yue Guang Ancient Device.

Even though this ancient city was dilapidated beyond recognition and had been sunk, the killing force engraved upon its walls was terrifying to the extreme–a true weapon of slaughter.

Han Yi’s gaze sharpened as he stared fixedly at the ancient city.

His steps slowed, and the form of Wanming City grew larger in his view. Although it looked small from afar, he realized that the city was unexpectedly huge as he drew closer, roughly the size of an Immortal Domain in the Daluo Immortal Realm.

Han Yi pondered.

As an ordinary Ancient Artifact, such a size would be appropriate, but as a top Ancient Artifact and the base of an Overlord-Level power, it was undoubtedly insufficient.

Suddenly, Han Yi’s eyes slightly narrowed.

For the side of the ancient city facing him was intact, but beyond it lay a broken face; the rest of the city didn’t exist.

In other words, the city in front of him was incomplete, much like the damaged Ancient Dome Seal, and the extent of the city’s destruction was far more severe.

Han Yi began to move his feet, circling around the ruins of the ancient city, finally returning to his original position.

He also confirmed that this piece of the ancient city was, in actuality, just a corner of the original, its size difficult to estimate, but definitely not comparable to the whole city, perhaps just one-tenth of it.

“A fragment of the ancient city.”

“Indeed, this is more normal.”

“If it were an intact Wanming City, to be preserved here would be too incredible, but just a fragment, maybe only the size of one-tenth of the intact Wanming City, is far more reasonable.”

“Moreover, the fragment of the city before us wasn’t likely placed here by Wanming City’s people, but by someone who collected it after that battle and then placed it here.”

Thoughts flickered in Han Yi’s heart.

Those with the power to collect relics from a Half-step Transcendence major power and place them inside a Daoist Domain at least had to be of the same caliber, namely a Half-step Transcender at the Realm Venerable level.

As for a Transcendent One?

Han Yi shook his head. A true Transcendent One would not do such a thing.

Thus, the answer could be narrowed down: somewhere in the Nine Great Dao Domains, there was a particular Half-step Transcender or Transcenders who would collect the relics and heritage of fallen Half-step Transcenders and place them in Daoist Domain spaces.

Reflecting on the ‘Tao Spirit Seventh Stele’ he had entered, could there be other steles, such as the ‘Tao Spirit Sixth Stele’ or even the ‘Tao Spirit First Stele’?

If this chain of speculations held up, then it was part of a whole system.

However, with Han Yi’s current Cultivation, he was not yet qualified to know the purpose behind these steles’ establishment, their collection of Half-step Transcendence heritage.

He promptly pressed these multiple speculative thoughts deep down inside, choosing not to dwell on them for now.

Next.

His thoughts returned to his mind, and within the Wanming Space, that ancient Wan Ming Tome continued to vibrate.
