Chapter 2016: Chapter 892: Restarting Wan Ming, The Battle of the Realm Venerable

In the Miracle Realm, a gigantic phantom arm was preparing to scoop up Han Yi and the others, lifting them out of the Miracle Realm and back to the Mengtuo Mountain Territory.

This was the agreement Han Yi and the others made with the Lord of Demon Witch before entering the Miracle Realm. This phantom arm was actually being extended by the Lord of Demon Witch from outside the Miracle Realm, crossing realms to do so.

But just at this moment.

A disturbance suddenly came from the void in the Miracle Realm, followed closely by an enormous Stone Fist.

The Stone Fist, huge yet seemingly ethereal, passed through the chaos, and wherever it went, the Power of Destruction deep within the chaos seemed to quiet, ceasing its turbulence.

This Stone Fist also broke through the realms, striking horizontally at the critical moment when the Lord of Demon Witch was about to scoop up the cultivators.

"Hmph!!"

A sound like the grinding of stones reverberated from the void.

In an instant!!

Boom!!

The Stone Fist struck the gigantic phantom arm, resulting in a muffled groan.

Han Yi, caught within the phantom arm, looked horrified.

There was no need to guess—the master of the Stone Fist who intervened at this moment must be another Half-step Transcendence Realm Venerable, or else it would be impossible to intercept the Lord of Demon Witch.

Being caught in the crossfire between two Half-step Transcendence Realm Venerables, Han Yi’s thoughts raced, and the phantom of the Qinglei Tripod immediately enveloped him.

Once utilizing the Ashen Nine Refinements to refine an Ancient Artifact into one’s body, the artifact could no longer be taken out for use. This was equivalent to temporarily refining the Qinglei Tripod into his body, making it inaccessible.

However, this way, he could use the artifact to reinforce his physical strength, thereby enhancing his defensive power.

Han Yi, though he considered his physical body formidable, unmatched even among Peak Divine Sovereigns, knew that facing the destructive force of a Half-step Transcendence Realm Venerable, which surpassed the Peak Venerable by several orders of magnitude, reinforcing his physical strength would never be excessive.

The aura of destruction pressed in from all directions.

The giant phantom arm, having taken the punch, immediately began to collapse, but in the final moment, the arm gave a mighty throw, imbuing several thoughts into the minds of the cultivators within it.

Han Yi felt an immense power from the giant hand acting upon him, throwing him into a rift just as the hand disintegrated.

Struggling to stabilize himself in the rift, he looked around and realized he was no longer in the Destructive Chaos but in normal mountainous terrain surrounded by giant forests.

The surrounding Tao Principles and the spatial pressure far exceeding that of the Tiaoist Spirit Chaos Realm immediately informed him that he had returned to Mengtuo Mountain.

"We finally left that place in the Miracle Realm unscathed."

"However, the Lord of Demon Witch took a hit at the last moment. Although he managed to throw us back to Mengtuo Mountain, the spatial coordinates shifted, and we got temporarily separated."

"Still, the Lord of Demon Witch conveyed the message, anticipating the spatial disarray that would scatter us, and so we agreed to wait at the location where we first stepped onto Mengtuo Mountain."

With a turn of thought, Han Yi grasped the situation.

He didn’t panic but dispelled the Ashen Nine Refinements, reining the Qinglei Tripod back out. The Qinglei Tripod transformed into a palm-sized tripod, which he tied at his waist, carrying the Green Reed Sword on his back. He then oriented himself and began moving in a certain direction using Space Escape.

After reaching a high level, he had already stored away the Heavenly Dome Seal, not using it anymore. Now he kept the Qinglei Tripod in the same place, ready to summon it at any time.

Currently, his two most formidable weapons were the Qinglei Tripod and the Green Reed Sword. In terms of quality, the Qinglei Tripod, being a Peak Ancient Artifact, was even more powerful than the high-level Ancient Artifact, the Green Reed Sword.

However, as a Sword Cultivator, Han Yi found wielding the Green Reed Sword more natural, seamlessly enhancing his combat power in battle.

"This place should still be Xuanyuan Valley along the Lingfang Path. Though called a valley, it must be sizable if selected by the Mengtuo Stone Clan as a hunting ground."

"And, due to the Mengtuo Stone Clan’s hunting, this place still poses a danger to me."

"However, as long as I don’t encounter a Half-step Transcendence Realm Venerable, I have no reason to fear."

With a flicker of his form, Han Yi used Space Escape and headed northwest. The border they had first stepped onto Mengtuo Mountain was to the northwest, so heading that direction held a good chance of exiting Xuanyuan Valley and returning to their initial landing spot.

Half an incense stick later, he sensed some auras fluctuating ahead. His face changed, and he descended into the mountain forest, hiding his presence and looking forward.

Not far ahead of him, two Stone Men were hunting an Exotic Beast. The Exotic Beast resembled the Ancient Demon Beast, the Sword Dragon, which had long been extinct in the Ancient Great World.

This strange beast was known as Black Fire Beast in Mengtuo Mountain.

Black Fire Beasts were gigantic, about a thousand feet tall, with sturdy limbs, thick black scales covering their entire bodies, and a dragon tail twice the length of their bodies.

Han Yi could tell that these two Stone Men were equivalent to cultivators in the Daoist Fruit Realm.

As Han Yi watched, the Black Fire Beast suddenly spit out a scorching black flame, burning one of the Stone Men. The Stone Man’s body turned to ash immediately.

Seeing this, the other Stone Man turned and fled in terror.

The Black Fire Beast was so named not only because of its black scales but also due to its ability to spit terrifying flames. The flames were pitch black and extremely dreadful.

Even a Heavenly Sovereign would feel pain if touched by these flames.

If a Tao Realm cultivator were directly hit by the flames, they might be burned alive.

The first Stone Man had been caught off guard, unable to avoid the black flames and perished as a result.
