Chapter 1944: Chapter 856: Bombarding the Strange Insects, Mysterious Will_2

But facing the Heavenly Dome Seal, even though a will descended through the void, the insectoid creature remained much weaker. As the Heavenly Dome Seal pressed down with overwhelming force, the huge insectoid creature roared and burst forth with a sinister aura.

When Han Yi witnessed this scene, his eyebrows twitched as the Power of Heavenly Sovereign erupted. The aura of the Heavenly Dome Seal soared upwards, with Golden Light boiling and igniting directly.

Boom!!

The Taoist Seal descended wholly, crushing the black insectoid creature into fragments. The fragmented insectoid creature dispersed into numerous creatures, large and small. However, the massive unified will they once shared was now shattered by that strike and could no longer reconvene.

The Ancient Dome Seal did not stop there but swept across with a diffusion of Golden Light, grinding all the insectoid creatures, big and small, into nothingness.

The grand Taoist Seal shrank once again, rolling back into a palm-sized Seal and landing in Han Yi’s hands, where he fastened it to his waist.

Han Yi’s gaze was deep and profound; he scanned the vicinity for millions of miles and, finding nothing amiss, he moved towards a specific location.

Although the insectoid creature was powerful, it proved easy to deal with for Han Yi as he currently stood.

Moreover,

Although Han Yi had some conjectures about the true identity of the insectoid creature, given that it belonged to another Chaos Realm and the conjectures were based on the rules of the Taoist Spirit Chaos Realm, they might not be correct. Hence, he simply erased the conjecture, treating it as a completely new enigmatic being. Should he encounter it again in the future, he would not make the mistake of being biased by previous assumptions.

The direction in which he departed was guided by the Star Chart given to him by the Guardian of the Returning Ruins, also known as the Master of Ten Thousand Journeys. He located a place similar to the equipment he had just utilized, which was also a fragment of the Chaos Realm within the Returning Ruins.

Just as he destroyed the insectoid creature with the Ancient Dome Seal and moved into the vast nothingness towards another marked location on the Star Chart.

In a secluded and mysterious place within the Returning Ruins, a space so hidden that even the Master of Ten Thousand Journeys had not noticed, a consciousness that had slumbered for eons suddenly awoke.

“Faint, yet a familiar aura.”

“Where is it, I have definitely encountered it somewhere before…”

“It’s important…”

“Damn it, my will, I cannot remember, it’s fragmented, it seems Hei Lin has been utterly obliterated.”

“However, even with a fragmented will and Hei Lin’s demise, dealing with a minor Divine Sovereign is still not difficult.”

“When that familiar and important thing is obtained, perhaps, my will can be somewhat restored.”

The mysterious fluctuations gradually faded, but just outside this deep space, a small spatial crack suddenly appeared, and from it, a strange black light shot out, vanishing in an instant.

From the fleeting crack, one could see a colossal monstrosity lying within the deep space, its body so vast that it far exceeded what a cultivator could imagine.

Or rather, in the eyes of average cultivators, and even Heavenly Sovereigns and Godly Venerables, this creature surpassed the concept of size. It was almost boundless, amounting to a sort of ‘conceptual’ grandeur.

And, if a supreme being of equal rank were present, they would recognize its form as belonging to the same species as the black insectoid creature Han Yi had encountered earlier, with the ultimate being within the deep space as the source of the species.

As the deep space cracked and sealed itself again, high above in the supreme space of the Returning Ruins, the always watchful Master of Ten Thousand Journeys suddenly narrowed his pupils. For an instant, he detected a fleeting whiff of supreme Transcendental power.

The Master of Ten Thousand Journeys was aware that within the Returning Ruins, there were wills and presences of Transcendents hidden.

The setting of the Returning Ruins was established by the Transcendent Realm Venerates of the Taoist Spirit Chaos Realm who roamed the Land of No Origin, resulting in the acquisition of Chaos Realm fragments. These fragments could be from Chaos Realms annihilated by the Transcendent Realm Venerates or could be random scatterings floating within the Land of No Origin.

Due to the differing rules of each Chaos Realm, even the Transcendent Realm Venerates could not guarantee that these fragments were devoid of issues.

Therefore, the Land of No Origin near the Taoist Spirit Chaos World was designated as the Returning Ruins to store these Chaos Realm fragments, and guardians were assigned to protect this place.

In past experiences, a faint aura of a Transcendent Realm Venerate had emerged, belonging to a powerful weapon, which was obtained by another Half-Step Transcendent who once guarded the Returning Ruins.

This time, when the Master of Ten Thousand Journeys sensed the elusive presence of the Transcendent Realm Venerate’s aura, a fleeting glimpse, his heart was naturally filled with gravity.

He did not let himself indulge in wild fantasies about gaining an opportunity to acquire a powerful weapon like the previous guardian had.

After all, he was all too aware of the origins and dangers of the Returning Ruins.

He stood up, took a step forward, and from the supreme space where the guardian resided, he arrived at the space of the Returning Ruins, close to the crack that had been opened earlier.

However, despite exhausting all methods to search the nearby space of billions of miles for any fluctuations, he could find no trace of abnormality, which deeply furrowed his brow.

He believed his initial sensing could not have been wrong, but now that the fluctuation had completely subsided as if it would not appear again, he understood it would be incredibly difficult to investigate further. After all, the Returning Ruins had been explored by several Transcendent Realm Venerates, dozens of Half-Step Transcenders, and countless Heavenly Venerate Divine Sovereigns. If there had been any conspicuous abnormality, it would have been dealt with long ago.

“Forget it, if that fluctuation does not appear again, it will be extremely hard to excavate. I can only continue to pay close attention.”

He returned to the guardian space but kept his mind tightly focused on the area where the fluctuation had occurred, not daring to relax for an instant.

Elsewhere.

In the time it took for ten breaths, Han Yihua reached the second fragment of the Chaos Realm which was especially unique. From a distance, this fragment did not exist in the form of a continent like the previous piece, but rather as a giant, withered tree.

This tree was not large, or more precisely, it was just a segment of a giant tree. Though it had a trunk and branches, it was roughly the size of a mature Chaos World Tree, which did not surprise Han Yi very much.

The withered trunk and branches were densely covered with innumerable buildings. However, these once prosperous structures were now ruins, filled with the air of decay and desolation.

Upon seeing this, Han Yi had a guess. This giant tree must have been a powerful treasure of some Chaos Realm. After the collapse of the Chaos Realm, numerous cultivators took refuge upon it, drifting into the Land of No Origin, but before they could find a new home, they encountered misfortune and destruction. Even the giant tree was only left with a fragment. Ultimately, in a mysterious fluctuation, all the cultivators and lives atop the tree perished completely.

After drifting in the Land of No Origin for a long time, it was spotted by a Transcendent Realm Venerate of the Taoist Spirit Chaos World, who retrieved the Taoist spirit and placed it in the Returning Ruins.

Confronted with this mysterious giant tree, even though the tree was full of ruins, Han Yi did not dare to be careless. Holding the Ancient Dome Seal in one hand, and his most powerful Ancient Artifact, the Seven Extremes Divine Saber, refined by himself in the other hand.

As he ascended to Middle-Stage Divine Sovereign, he was now fully capable of wielding the ‘Seven Extremes’ of this ancient weapon.

Holding the ancient weapon, Han Yi landed on the giant tree. Although the tree was only a segment, its overall area was much vast than the entire Ancient Great World and the land of the Nine Realms put together.

With Divine Light shining in his eyes, Han Yi surveyed this vast territory, moving at an extremely fast pace, traversing the top of this giant tree, and using the Taoist Seal and Divine Sword to clear the way whenever he encountered abnormal spots.

An hour later, he stopped and stood at the very center of the tree, holding a black long sword in his hand, but with a gentle grip, the sword immediately shattered and then turned to ash.

This black long sword, excavated from the ruins below, was completely decayed for some reason, bereft of any Spiritual Nature, and its material had lost all energy. Touched by the Power of Heavenly Venerate, it disintegrated to ashes.

This had happened three times already during his investigation of the giant tree.

However.

Han Yi noticed that although almost all treasures on the giant tree had decayed, standing at the core of this giant tree, the prompt on his panel about seizing Boundary Power made his heart tremble.

[Boundary Power Seizing in progress, 239 points of Boundary Power seized].
