Chapter 1891: Chapter 830: Hidden Killing Intent, Battle of the Heavenly Sovereign_2 Chapter 1891: Chapter 830: Hidden Killing Intent, Battle of the Heavenly Sovereign_2 His greatest concern was that Xuan Mang Venerable, thinking Han Yi was a newly-ascended Heavenly Venerate, would underestimate him. A slight miscalculation once they engaged in battle could lead to the collapse of the entire dike.

Of course, recalling Han Yi’s confidence, a sense of unease still lingered in his heart, but matters had reached this point. He couldn’t simply let Brother Xuan Mang go alone; he had no choice but to follow.

On the other side.

After leaving the Ten Thousand Travel Palace, Han Yi felt a faint sense of being spied upon–a sensation forged through his many years of life-and-death struggles.

He didn’t stop moving but checked himself over carefully and took out the Yunmu Ancient Sword he had obtained earlier, inspecting it again, only to find nothing out of the ordinary.

Immediately afterward.

He took out five Origin Crystals and, with a mere thought, absorbed them into about five hundred thousand Life Seeds.

A standard Chaos Source Crystal can transform into about one hundred thousand Life Seeds.

Among the absorbed Source Crystals, Han Yi discovered an extremely inconspicuous special mark within one of the Han Valley Source Crystals. This mark, attached to the Source Crystal Fragments, would have gone unnoticed if not for the absorption process. If one were to merely inspect the Source Crystal, it would definitely remain undetected.

But the feeling of being spied upon was actually emanating from this mark.

Han Yi did not destroy this imprint; instead, his eyebrows lifted slightly in surprise.

“The Ten Thousand Travel Palace actually has such vile incidents occurring. Is this the will of the entire leadership of the palace, or does it stem from Xuan Mang and Wanye’s intentions?”

“Right, with Lu Jiuxiao absent, no matter what, these two Heavenly Venerates should not be able to avoid being implicated.”

“This really is a surprise.”

In Han Yi’s mind, the Ten Thousand Travel Palace had an excellent reputation as a neutral and significant power, seldom directly involved in conflicts. But the current scene undoubtedly suggested that some Heavenly Venerates from the palace, or the palace itself, had entered the fray.

Beyond the surprise, a cold expression swiftly crossed Han Yi’s face.

“A long-lost feeling.”

“It’s been over twenty thousand years since I’ve encountered a Robbing Cultivator; to think that after ascending to Heavenly Venerate, I would face one.”

With a single thought, Han Yi instantly changed his direction. He didn’t head towards the Eastern Domain but to the north. This change of direction was based on his assumption that since someone was tracking him, they would likely set a trap ahead to ensnare him.

Changing course would force the tracker to adjust their strategy. Without enough time to lay a trap, they’d have to take early action or, perhaps, they might change their mind and stop following.

If they gave up on the pursuit, Han Yi wouldn’t press further. His strength wasn’t sufficient yet. He could handle Xuan Mang and Wanye, but if he killed the two of them, it would likely draw out the Wuxiang Venerable.

A High-level Heavenly Venerate was beyond his capability to cope with at the moment.

However, even if they couldn’t fight this time, he would remember this account and, once he no longer feared the Wuxiang Venerable, he would surely come to settle the score.

But what stirred the killing intent in his heart was the fact that, as he changed direction, the sense of being spied upon didn’t disappear. It persisted like a shadow, growing more intense, which confirmed that the one following him hadn’t stopped; in fact, they were accelerating, closing in for the kill.

“Since you seek death, you can’t blame me for what happens.”

…

Moments ago, Xuan Mang Venerable took Wanye Venerable and used the mark hidden in the Han Valley Source Crystal to bypass Han Yi, blocking him directly in front.

Xuan Mang Venerable was, after all, a Middle-stage Heavenly Venerate. Han Yi’s speed at his regular state was that of an Initial Stage Heavenly Venerate and not particularly outstanding. Therefore, being easily surpassed was normal.

However, as Wanye Venerable who arrived ahead of Han Yi quickly set up the Guangyan Mandaodao Formation, Xuan Mang Venerable’s expression changed slightly.

“Not good, Huang has changed direction and is heading north.”

Wanye Venerable was also taken aback, “Could he have discovered us and is attempting escape?”

Xuan Mang Venerable shook his head slightly, “Unlikely. The mark I left in the Source Crystal can only be discovered upon absorption, but absorbing a Source Crystal isn’t something that can be done in a short period. It’s impossible that Huang has detected us.”

“Moreover, Huang’s speed hasn’t changed. It’s possible that he has changed his mind about something and now intends to head north.”

Wanye Venerable hesitated and said, “Brother, do we still give chase?”

His unease, for some reason, suddenly intensified at this moment.

Xuan Mang Venerable nodded definitively: “Chase, why not chase.”

“Let’s go!”

This time, Wanye Venerable didn’t say much but quickly dismantled the Array, rapidly following the lead of Xuan Mang Venerable toward the north.

After thirty minutes.

They finally managed to intercept Han Yi again, but just as the two halted in the Chaos and as Wanye Venerable was about to set up the Array, within several miles nearby, a dazzling golden Divine Light suddenly burst forth.

Accompanying the appearance of this Divine Light was a figure that shocked both Xuan Mang and Wanye–it was indeed Han Yi.

“Impossible, Huang?”

“Damn it, weren’t you behind us? How come you’re here?”

The faces of Xuan Mang and Wanye underwent a drastic change.

Among them, Wanye Venerable, who was just about to set up the Guangyan Mandaodao Formation, reached the peak of unease on his face.

The Guangyan Mandaodao Formation he was about to set up was a high-level Array within the Ten Thousand Travel Palace, capable of isolating life signatures. Once this Array was established, it was akin to severing a region within the Chaos, making it seem as if it wasn’t in the same Tao Domain; regardless of the movements inside, it wouldn’t trigger fluctuations in the nearby Chaos.

More importantly, should someone fall within it, even a Heavenly Sovereign’s residual marks outside the Array wouldn’t dissipate, and no anomalies indicating their demise would appear. Whatever remnants remained after their fall would be collected by the Array and could be transferred to another Tao Domain. Upon release, the location of release would become the site of that Heavenly Sovereign’s fall.

This was somewhat akin to the crime scenes Han Yi encountered in his previous life, where the primary crime scene was shifted to a secondary one without raising suspicion.

It was precisely because of this Array that the previous two ambushes on Heavenly Sovereigns were able to successfully shift hatred and Cause and Effect.

The drastic change in Xuan Mang Venerable’s complexion was due to Han Yi’s appearance, which was entirely beyond his expectations.

He was unaware that, although Han Yi had changed direction, he still felt a persistent and intense sensation of being spied on. Thus, he split off an Incarnation, allowing it to carry the Source Crystal Fragments marked with traces, while his true self took an earlier route, observing from the sidelines.

Although his Incarnation could only exert the Combat Power of a peak Harmonization, its speed could barely reach the standards of a Heavenly Sovereign after employing the Traceless and Infinite True Realm techniques, not falling far behind.

Yet, with his true self fully erupting in speed, he had attained a comparably high standard of a Middle-stage Heavenly Venerate, significantly faster than Xuan Mang Venerable.

Moreover, Han Yi, having employed Traceless and submerging into the fifth layer of the Chaos, had remained undetected by Xuan Mang and Wanye.

Just now, as he detected two rapidly approaching figures from the side, their auras were faint but still captured by Han Yi–it was undoubtedly the presence of Xuan Mang and Wanye.

Hence, once the adversaries stopped, Han Yi appeared without hesitation and unleashed his killer move.

At this moment.

Amidst the exclaims of shock from Xuan Mang and Wanye.

In an instant, Han Yi’s face was full of murderous intent, his eyes brimming with divine presence, as he struck down directly.

Since they were enemies, there was no need for restraint, and facing two adversaries, with one being a Middle-stage Heavenly Venerate, he could not afford to be hesitant.

His target was Xuan Mang Venerable, who was closer and more powerful.

And upon striking, it was a dual-elemental attack.

The Yue Guang Divine Spear roared, its spear shadow brilliant, dominating the Chaos, and streaking forth.

The Divine Domain of All Realms bolstered the Divine Spear, making each thrust seem as though the force of entire worlds was attached to it, appearing slow yet so heavy that even the Chaos couldn’t bear it, collapsing layers upon layers of space.

Hidden beneath the Divine Light was Han Yi’s Immortal Path force, with the Heavenly Venerate Sword Domain unfolding, the An Xie Divine Sword not conspicuous, its dark and red glows flashing momentarily, aiming directly for the enemy’s head.

The detonation roared, the Chaos exploded.
