Chapter 1992: Chapter 880: Extreme Ancient Catastrophe, Taoist Immortal’s Contingency_2

This was the reason for the hasty retreat of these Heavenly Sovereigns. Having traversed countless Chaotic Eras within Chaos, their senses were highly attuned to danger. They knew that if they did not leave now, it might be too late.

Within the realm.

Besides the Outer Path Realm and Heavenly Sovereign Realm forces, there were many smaller factions on the Extreme Ancient Continent. At this moment, these small worlds were filled with wails, and death spread everywhere.

The death wrought through these sacrifices seemed to shift the Heavenly Tao forces of the Extreme Ancient Great World in a strange direction.

This was the reason for the surging killing intent in Han Yi at this moment.

The actions of the Taoist Immortal could possibly drag the Extreme Ancient World to its death.

But Han Yi did not act. Though he had ascended to the realm of High-stage Divine Sovereigns, with power comparable to a Peak Divine Sovereign, it was clear that both the Taoist Immortal and Hongjun were not ordinary Peak Venerables.

With his current strength, facing the Taoist Immortal directly meant certain death.

The only thing he could do was wait, wait for an opportunity to strike. This opportunity might be slim, possibly nonexistent, but it was the only thing he could do.

Within the chaos.

The Realm Venerable Spirit Pearl, powered by the sacrificial force, began to heal its four cracks gradually. Its white misty light illuminated the chaos, penetrating the vastness.

In the silence, the Realm Venerable Spirit Pearl collided with the downward-swinging Realm Venerable Great Axe.

Han Yi felt a jolt within the chaos, followed by a raging torrent of chaotic power that swept in all directions. When it reached his position, it even pushed him back several steps.

Just moments ago, Han Yi had expanded his divine body to fifty-six billion zhang to observe the battle clearly. At this moment, his divine eyes had widened to over a billion zhang.

To know, the width of a star like the Sun is about four billion zhang. So Han Yi’s divine eyes were approximately a quarter of a star’s width.

And his divine body was far more massive than a star. Such overwhelming energy could shatter and obliterate a small world, reducing it to dust instantly, if it landed on it.

However, Han Yi was standing quite far from the core of the battle. If he were in the heart of it, the intensity of the energy would be hundreds or thousands of times higher. Not just a small world, an attack of this magnitude could even cleave the Extreme Ancient Great World.

Of course.

At this moment, although the Taoist Immortal was berserk and Hongjun was indifferent to others’ lives, the Extreme Ancient Great World held significant meaning to the two of them. Unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn’t destroy it.

After blocking the attack with the Realm Venerable Spirit Pearl, the Taoist Immortal waved his hand. Several of the most magnificent and towering Tao Veins from the cracked worlds of the Extreme Ancient World broke free from their seals and soared toward the highest point of the Extreme Ancient World like transforming dragons.

Among these Tao Veins, one was the Daluo Tao Vein. This vein extended from the Age Candle region, through the Daluo Dao Court, all the way to the extreme south of the Daluo Immortal Realm.

The Age Candle Heavenly Venerate immediately sensed something amiss. He wanted to suppress it, preventing the Tao Vein from flying away, but the power on the Tao Vein was too overwhelming, far stronger than the makeshift sacrificial force earlier. Even with all his might, he couldn’t suppress the Tao Vein.

The Tao Vein shot up to the heavens, as if tearing a rift through the Daluo Immortal Realm.

Numerous cultivators near the Tao Vein perished.

Part of the Daluo Dao Court, built upon this Tao Vein, was severely damaged as the Vein left.

The dragon-transforming Tao Veins that escaped from the Extreme Ancient World appeared directly near the Taoist Immortal Great Sovereign, merging with the Origin Tao Seal before him.

This peak Ancient Artifact, which Hongjun had cleaved a corner off, swelled upon integrating with the Tao Veins.

Its aura began to resemble the Great Axe in Hongjun’s hands.

At this moment, the Origin Tao Seal seemed as if it was merged with the Origin Land of the Extreme Ancient World and its most important Tao Veins.

The Extreme Ancient Axe of years past was also forged by the Extreme Ancient Great World Lord, using numerous wondrous mountains and stones from the Extreme Ancient World.

Originating from the same source, it was no surprise they were similar.

The Origin Tao Seal’s enhanced might did not immediately strike at Hongjun. Instead, it took Han Yi by surprise as the Taoist Immortal incorporated it directly into his body.

With this integration, the body of the Taoist Immortal Great Sovereign began to grow.

Originally, though not small, the Taoist Immortal’s body was vastly oversized compared to Hongjun, like a giant compared to an infant. But having absorbed the Origin Tao Seal, the Taoist Immortal now matched Hongjun in size.

Moreover,

his aura no longer belonged to the Heavenly Tao kind, but seemed to transcend the shackles, becoming an alternative life form.

From a distance, Han Yi, observing the battle, suddenly found this life form quite familiar. His mind raced, and in an instant, he realized.

"I understand now."

"This is the Ashen Nine Refinements."

"No wonder it felt so familiar."

"It seems the Taoist Immortal Great Sovereign also received the legacy of Ashen Mountain, and an even more central part than I did."

Back then, Han Yi obtained the Ashen Nine Refinements from the Ashen Mountain ruins, the legacy of a dominion-level faction of the Ashen Domain.

This refining method wasn’t just for artifact refining but could also meld with the physical body, incorporating weapons to enhance physical strength.

It was rumored that the master of Ashen Mountain had used the Ashen Nine Refinements to fuse nine peak Ancient Artifacts within himself, wielding strength that surpassed the Heavens, reaching a true half-step transcendence Realm Venerate.

The reason Han Yi found the life form of the Taoist Immortal Great Sovereign familiar was that he had also practiced the Ashen Nine Refinements. Although he didn’t delve further, he could quickly recognize it.

Meanwhile in the field,

after absorbing the Tao Veins into the Origin Tao Seal and refining it into his body using the Ashen Nine Refinements, the Taoist Immortal Great Sovereign’s figure now matched Hongjun’s majesty.

Then he reached out and grabbed the Realm Venerable Spirit Pearl, which had been knocked away by Hongjun’s second strike.

The phantom of the Extreme Ancient World above his head descended countless streams of energy, infusing the Spirit Pearl. Through this power, the Spirit Pearl emitted an endless white misty light.

The light seemed brilliant but was incredibly dangerous. Han Yi felt he could withstand a few beams but would be dead if overwhelmed by the light.

The boundless white misty light surged towards Hongjun, engulfing him.

However, Hongjun swung his axe horizontally, cleaving a path through the world of light, shattering all the white misty beams.

At this moment,

Hongjun halted his advance because, not far to his side, the corpse of Source Wisdom, treading on chaos, had already drawn near.

If he continued to attack the Taoist Immortal, he would expose his back to the attack of the Source Wisdom corpse.

In fact,

the Taoist Immortal’s strength far exceeded Hongjun’s expectations.

Whether it was the fragmented Realm Venerable Spirit Pearl or the incorporation of the Origin Tao Seal to enhance his power to an even stronger level, then squeezing the world power of the Extreme Ancient World into the Spirit Pearl, making the fractured Ancient Artifact deliver a near-peak strike.

Hongjun knew the Taoist Immortal had secrets but didn’t predict such profound depths.

Moreover, he was also linked with the Origin Wisdom World, joining forces against him.

The approaching Source Wisdom corpse still had closed eyes but raised its hand, spreading five fingers towards Hongjun.

This grasp wasn’t aimed at Han Yi, just from the side and at a considerable distance. Yet Han Yi felt the chaotic power around him compressing crazily, as if being sucked into a narrow space.

This sensation wasn’t a mere illusion.

If Han Yi was merely in the Tao Realm, seeing this grasp from the side would make it seem as if the arm was reaching for him, compressing space until it might crush him.

Such an attack was beyond the imagination of cultivators.

However, Han Yi, now quite powerful, quickly dispelled this ’illusion.’ Though the chaotic power around him fluctuated violently, it wasn’t being compressed or absorbed.

Ahead,

Hongjun turned, his expression grim, swinging the Extreme Ancient Axe towards the approaching hand of the Source Wisdom corpse.
