Chapter 1885 - Chapter 1885 Chapter 827 The Majesty of the Divine Jian Lei

Chapter 1885: Chapter 827: The Majesty of the Divine Jian, Lei Yan Astonished_2 Chapter 1885: Chapter 827: The Majesty of the Divine Jian, Lei Yan Astonished_2 Baili Xi was by no means without other methods, but those methods, whether the Heavenly Venerate Skill or the Heavenly Destiny Technique, found it difficult to take effect under the absolute Sword Light realm.

Hence, at this moment, he could only face the challenge head-on.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A torrential outburst occurred, arrows shattered, Chaos annihilated, and Sword Light oppressively swept across. A figure holding a silver longbow was sent flying, bleeding within the Chaos, daring not to halt for a moment, speeding away along the path he had come from.

This fleeing figure was naturally Baili Xi.

Facing Han Yi’s boundless Sword Light, although he had managed to defend against about eighty percent of the attack, there were still two layers that had not been intercepted, hitting him hard. Even though they did not tear through his Heavenly Venerate Robe, the force penetrated the robe, injuring his Heavenly Venerate Physical Body, causing him to bleed and forcing him to escape.

Han Yi stood amidst the Chaos, holding the Anxie Divine Sword, making no move to pursue.

From the very beginning, he never intended to thoroughly vanquish his opponent. He had disguised his identity, aura, and even his ancient artifacts, all in order to avoid involving himself in too much Cause and Effect on this matter.

Because he knew that the cultivators of the Yutian Dao Palace were not easy to deal with.

Even though because of the Tao Tomb Ripple’s eruption in the ancient past, the Heavenly Tao was unpredictable within the Chaos, if he truly had killed Baili Xi, Yutian Dao Palace had certain mysterious and unfathomable Tao Skills that could lock onto him. If they were to bring a High-level Heavenly Venerate against him, he would be in an untenable position.

But if he just made use of his Divine Venerable identity to injure Baili Xi and forced him to retreat on his own, the resulting Cause and Effect, though existent, would not be a matter of life and death. Even if it alarmed the Yutian Dao Palace, the fallout would be very limited, and it certainly would not provoke the arrival of a High-level Heavenly Venerate.

Although Han Yi was unafraid, he naturally preferred to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Elsewhere.

Having fled into the Chaos and sustained light injuries, Baili Xi’s heart was filled with relentless hatred.

“Dongfang He? Definitely a false name. The real Dongfang He is an Elder-level Middle-stage Divine Sovereign from the Taichu Divine Race.”

“However, this mysterious Divine Sovereign’s sword power is so vast, he’s certainly not just at the Initial Stage, but at the Middle Stage, or perhaps even disguised as a High-stage.”

“The other party did harbor the intent to kill me, but had no intention of going through with it, probably due to considering my identity and not wishing to entangle with the Yutian Dao Palace in severe Cause and Effect.”

“Damn it.”

“It’s a pity that I couldn’t kill Lei Yan this time. There will never be such a good opportunity again.”

“Such rotten luck!”

Baili Xi bitterly resented in his heart. Like Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate, after extricating himself from the battle, he immediately deduced that Han Yi’s Realm was also a disguise, and the reason he was able to escape from the hands of a Middle or even High-stage Divine Sovereign was probably because that Heavenly Venerate had no intent to kill him.

That Divine Sovereign, while concealing his identity, had intercepted him and saved Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate.

Looking at the initial situation, Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate evidently had not recognized the other, and the reason for the mysterious Divine Sovereign’s intervention was not easy to speculate. Regardless, his own plan this time had failed.

Moreover, he could not possibly return to the Yutian Dao Palace to make a complaint to the Palace Master, because, after all, he could not match the opponent in strength, and the opponent had even shown him mercy. Speaking out would only expose his own weakness and powerlessness.

Thus, Baili Xi uttered ‘rotten luck’.

He suppressed his distracting thoughts and began to use the Chaotic Power to expel the residual Sword Light from his body and recover from his injuries, while his figure moved towards the west of Fu Heng.

Elsewhere.

On the battlefield, Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate’s face lit up with joy. Baili Xi’s retreat meant that his own crisis was essentially resolved.

But when he turned to look at the mysterious Divine Sovereign holding the sword, his heart was once again suspended, filled with trepidation.

At that moment, Han Yi turned to look over, his eyes flickering with contemplation, as if hesitating. This moment of hesitation was also seen by Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate.

Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate bowed deeply and said, “Thank you, Senior, for your timely rescue. I, Lei Yan, come from the Li Huo Hall of the Destiny Tao Palace.”

From the bottom of his heart, he was sure that Han Yi had concealed his Realm, and was at least a Middle-stage Divine Sovereign or higher, hence addressing him as ‘Senior’ was appropriate.

As for revealing his own background, he speculated that Han Yi’s intervention might be related to it; maybe some Heavenly Venerate among the many in the Destiny Tao Palace had a past connection with this Senior, and for that reason, the other had come to the rescue.

However, Han Yi then fell silent for a moment, before transforming, changing his appearance and aura from that of Dongfang He to his own original appearance and innate Divine Venerable Aura.

He was silent because he hesitated about revealing his true self, but this moment of hesitation was quickly dispelled.

He made this move out of concern for Houtu’s safety, and now that the crisis has been averted, it was a good time to make some inquiries, to reach a conclusion.

Furthermore, he had recently ascended to the rank of Heavenly Sovereign. Now that he had reached the level of both Heavenly Sovereign and Divine Venerable, as long as no high-level Venerables intervened, his intuition told him he need not fear anyone.

Thus, in truth, there was no question of whether he had revealed himself or not.

After manifesting his true form, he cupped his hands towards Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate: “Han Yi, has met Daoist Lei Yan.”

Not far away, within the Chaos.

Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate’s pupils suddenly contracted, a flash of astonishment crossing his mind, as he instinctively cried out in surprise.

“Han Yi?”

“Is it really you??”

No wonder he was utterly astounded. Seventeen thousand years ago, when Han Yi reached the vicinity of the Transcendence Tao Trace, he endured the trials of Tao Fruit and the Outer Path. Back then, his level of Cultivation was clearly seen by Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate; it was definitely hard to fake.

And over seventeen thousand years ago, when he met Han Yi, the latter had already taken a crucial step on the path of the Chaos Divine Race, advancing to Divine Venerable. Despite this, Lei Yan could still feel that it was the aura of an Initial-stage Divine Venerable.

At that time, he was shocked at how rapidly Han Yi’s Realm was advancing, far surpassing his imagination.

But now.

The figure of Han Yi, an Initial-stage Divine Venerable, overlapped with the mysterious and unfamiliar Divine Venerable who just now had forced Baili Xi to retreat with a single strike; this was an outcome Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate had absolutely not expected.

Han Yi, however, suddenly felt a movement in his heart.

Although he had not seen him before, he recognized Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate because, as the Vice Hall Master of Destiny Tao Palace’s Li Huo Hall, Lei Yan was quite famous in both Fu Heng and the Heavenly Destiny Dao Domain. Additionally, he had been wandering the Chaos for a long time, thus becoming well-known.

After Lei Yan saw his appearance and heard his words, he immediately called out the name ‘Han Yi,’ but Han Yi himself had not wandered the Chaos for a long time and it was almost impossible for him to be well-known to a Venerable Sage.

In this, there must certainly be someone who had introduced him to Lei Yan.

A thought flashed through Han Yi’s mind, and he inferred that this person, if nothing unexpected, should be the Houtu Taoist Ancestor.

Han Yi nodded, saying: “Not long ago, I noticed Daoist being pursued and intercepted the assailants in the manner just now. I hope Daoist doesn’t mind.”

Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate naturally would not mind. Han Yi’s intervention was a rescue, for which he was more than grateful.

He also knew the real reason Han Yi intervened. He had no connection with Han Yi himself; the ability to recognize Han Yi was also because of Houtu.

Furthermore, more than two thousand years ago, near the Transcendence Tao Trace, while he was protecting Houtu, Han Yi looked over through the void and saw Houtu standing behind him, he must have guessed their connection from that.

Because of that time, there was today’s rescue by Han Yi.

“How could I? I can’t thank Daoist Han enough.”

“The grace of your lifesaving assistance, Lei Yan will etch in his heart.”

Lei Yan Heavenly Venerate bowed in thanks, his face showing a touch of reverence.

He had previously guessed Han Yi to be a Mid to High-stage Divine Sovereign, but only when Han Yi revealed his true form did he realize his guess was wrong, and the actual truth far exceeded his expectations.

To possess the combat power of a Mid-stage or higher Divine Sovereign with merely the cultivation of a newly advanced Divine Sovereign, Han Yi displayed talent which once again surpassed his expectations.

To the point that when he thought about the situation just now, he became unwilling to treat Han Yi as an Initial-stage Divine Sovereign, and instead, regarded him as a higher-stage Divine Sovereign.

Additionally.

Han Yi, Houtu, himself, and even the Destiny Tao Palace began from this moment to gradually connect through Cause and Effect.

It reminded him of what the Palace Master had once said about Houtu, and his heart became even more certain.

As thoughts flickered, he waved his hand, and a figure appeared before him.

The person who appeared was a woman, none other than the Houtu Taoist Ancestor, Houtu. Upon emerging, her gaze immediately turned towards Han Yi in front, and amidst her puzzled expression, a brilliant light of Ming Guang suddenly burst forth.

“Han Yi?”
