Chapter 1960: Chapter 864: The Essence of Boundary Power, Glimpsing the Truth_2

In the process of dodging and searching, he killed several Demon Lords from the Primordial Demon Sect, and, using the same method he had employed against Xiong Heng Demon Lord, absorbed the black currents. After the appearance of the second current, no new currents followed, and the demon bodies of those slain Demon Lords automatically shattered, attracted by a mysterious force, pulling them toward the Central Palace.

The scenes were exactly the same as the ones that appeared after he killed Xiong Heng Demon Lord, with no difference.

Apart from slaying several Demon Lords, during this process, he also encountered many Heavenly Sovereigns avoiding the battle, seeking cultivation resources just like him.

Those who could still dodge the pursuit of numerous Demon Lords and survive were not to be underestimated in their skills. Han Yi and these Heavenly Sovereigns did not approach each other too closely, instead maintaining a distance from one another.

After thirty minutes, Han Yi suddenly discovered a hidden cave leading downward at the base of a mountain cliff. If not for a majestic mountain above the cliff broken by two battling Heavenly Sovereigns, this cave would likely have remained concealed.

What intrigued him was that, with his divine thoughts, he couldn’t detect the end of this cave.

With a thought, he directly entered the cave, dashing towards its depths.

It took him a whole minute before he reached the bottom of the cave, where he surprisingly found a Demon Lord hiding.

This Demon Lord, recognized quickly by Han Yi from information he had obtained earlier, was none other than Fu Xu Demon Venerable, an Initial Stage Demon Lord of the Primordial Demon Sect.

Shockingly, at this moment, Fu Xu Venerable appeared normal, his eyes clear and lucid, evidently still sane and not controlled as a puppet-like the murderous Demon Lords above.

“Hm?”

“Who are you? How dare you trespass here?”

Although Fu Xu Venerable was mentally sound, Han Yi distinctly noticed an intense horror in his pupils that could not be dissolved.

The other party definitely knew something.

Han Yi didn’t offer much explanation, instead directly subduing this Initial Stage Demon Lord. He quickly transformed into his Wanming Incarnation; now he no longer needed to consider the dignity of the Primordial Demon Sect, so the process was swift. In just a dozen breaths, he imprinted the Wan Ming Tome’s brand upon the opponent’s Divine Soul.

His intention to transform Fu Xu Demon Venerable was to understand what exactly had happened with the Primordial Demon Sect,

After the transformation, he rapidly checked the memories surfacing in Fu Xu Demon Venerable’s mind about the incidents within the Primordial Demon Sect.

A moment later, Han Yi’s pupils sharply constricted, his expression one of shock.

“Indeed, just as I suspected, there’s something wrong with the Master of Primordial Demon.”

In Fu Xu Demon Venerable’s memory, the outbreak of strangeness within the Primordial Demon Sect began the day before, and the strange occurrences originated from the Master of Primordial Demon.

The day before yesterday.

The long-absent Master of Primordial Demon suddenly returned to the Sect and summoned all the Heavenly Sovereigns to discuss matters at the Primordial Demon Hall.

Known as a powerful Half-Step Transcendent and the key stand of the Primordial Demon Sect, some newly initiated Heavenly Sovereign Cultivators had never had the fortune to meet the Master of Primordial Demon.

Thus, when the order was issued, all Heavenly Sovereigns of the Primordial Demon Sect, in Primordial Demon Dao City, and even nearby regions rushed to the Primordial Demon Hall.

The Primordial Demon Hall, located at the core of the Primordial Demon Sect, the central palace, was also the mysterious palace that made Han Yi feel palpitations even upon mere sight.

And Fu Xu Demon Venerable, having only been promoted to Demon Lord twenty thousand years ago, naturally desired an audience with the Master of Primordial Demon. Gaining even a moment’s guidance from the Master might open vast new paths on his cultivation journey.

Yet coincidentally, Fu Xu Demon Venerable encountered a Tomb Beast en route, which chased him. By the time he circuited back to the Primordial Demon Sect and rushed into the Primordial Demon Hall, he found many Demon Lords already connected by strands of Demon Energy to the Master of Primordial Demon deep within the palace, seemingly controlled by him, creating an extremely sinister scene.

Fu Xu Demon Venerable, terrified and alarmed, turned and fled for his life, intending to escape the Primordial Demon Sect, but he discovered a strange mist spreading out instantaneously from within the Primordial Demon Hall, enveloping the whole sect, preventing his escape.

Left with no other choice, he then remembered this remarkably deep cave he had once discovered and hid inside it.

This was all the useful information that Fu Xu Demon Venerable could provide.

Strictly speaking, Fu Xu Demon Venerable was the first cultivator to realize something was wrong with the Primordial Demon Sect.

“Honored Master, what is the situation above? How did you enter?” asked Fu Xu Demon Venerable nervously.

Even though he had become Han Yi’s Wanming Divine Incarnation, this did not mean he no longer cared about the Primordial Demon Sect. The two were not contradictory.

Han Yi deftly transmitted the current situation at the Primordial Demon Sect and the scenes he had witnessed to Fu Xu Demon Venerable. After reading it, Fu Xu Demon Venerable’s expression grew even more turbulent.

“Finished, the Master of Primordial Demon is in trouble, and all the Heavenly Sovereigns can’t escape.”

“We’re surely going to die.”

Seeing the terrifying scene transmitted by Han Yi, Fu Xu Demon Venerable felt utterly hopeless, surrounded by a Half-step Transcendent being, a scenario that could only end one way.

Han Yi also fell silent, the current situation indeed induced despair.

However, he was puzzled in his heart, particularly about the chaos within the Primordial Demon Sect at the moment, which he found confusing.

Logically, with the Master of Primordial Demon present, if he took action, all cultivators entering the core area of the Primordial Demon Sect, whether Tao Realm or Heavenly Sovereign, could easily be suppressed and subdued.

As the master of the demon path, although the Master of Primordial Demon lacked a Supreme Treasure like the Wan Ming Tome, he could easily implant marks within the Divine Souls of many Heavenly Sovereigns, turning them into his Soul Slaves.

However, at this moment, the Master of Primordial Demon allowed the Heavenly Sovereigns to chaotically slaughter each other without intervening, which was very unusual. Han Yi speculated that there must also be something wrong with the Master of Primordial Demon himself.

Perhaps his Divine Thoughts were muddled, or he was struggling between madness induced by demon invasion and his normal sanity.

And this could explain the situation at the Primordial Demon Sect at the moment.

Thinking this, Han Yi temporarily set aside these thoughts and learned about the location of the secret vault of the Primordial Demon Sect from Fu Xu Demon Venerable.

The gate of the Primordial Demon Sect was concealed above the Primordial Demon Dao City, making its layout a secret to cultivators outside the sect.

“The secret vaults of the Primordial Demon Sect are numerous, I know of three divisions and seven courts,”

“The one closest to here is the Mo Lin Court.”

“The Mo Lin Court is under the control of Lingtian Demon Venerable.”

Han Yi’s eyes flashed.

The three divisions and seven courts of the Primordial Demon Sect were its internal organizations, just like the Ten Great Divine Clans on the Ancestral God Star, but naturally, they were far less powerful than those.

The three divisions were managed by the First, Second, and Third Demon Venerables respectively: the Xieyi Department, Devouring Heart Department, and Lanhuang Department. These three divisions could change names with the Tao Titles of their leaders and were the strongest organizations within the entire sect.

The seven courts, however, had fixed names and were also governed by high-level Demon Venerables, with Mo Lin Court being one of them.

In terms of their position within the layout, the three divisions were closer to the Central Palace, while the seven courts were relatively on the periphery.

Just then.

Boom! The cave began collapsing. Up above, Heavenly Sovereigns were fighting, destroying mountains and shaking the earth.

Han Yi waved his hand to retrieve Fu Xu Venerable, then darted out, but just as he flew up, a massive halberd light swept across, striking him harshly and sending him flying.

Han Yi was not unprepared; the Chaos Divine Armor was on him. Weakened by the Divine Equipment, this strike landed on his robust Divine Body, causing only a slight fluctuation of his Divine Force and a minor injury, not severe.

He steadied his gaze and saw a formidable, towering Demon Venerable clad in fierce armor, brandishing a dark Heavy Halberd, appearing mad, pursuing several Heavenly Sovereigns.

The position where Han Yi appeared to be was incidentally within the attack range of this Heavenly Sovereign, so he took a hit.

This Demon Venerable, whom Han Yi had once seen from a distance, was precisely the Sixth Demon Venerable of the Primordial Demon Sect, Lingtian Demon Venerable.

Han Yi had dealings related to Purple Cloud Continent on the borders between the Primordial Demon Dao Domain and Ancestral God Domain, which was a covert enterprise of Lingtian Demon Venerable, establishing Cause and Effect between them.

Unexpectedly, Lingtian Demon Venerable had also become maddened, turned into a puppet.

But at this moment, Han Yi did not attack the maddened Lingtian Demon Venerable; alone, it wasn’t feasible to attempt to slay the Lingtian Demon Venerable.

Thus, he gently swayed, reaching an extreme speed, evading the second strike from Lingtian Demon Venerable, then darted among several fleeing Heavenly Sovereigns, concealing his figure, and after escaping Lingtian Demon Venerable, he made his way to Mo Lin Court.
