Chapter 1961: Chapter 865: Ancestor Demon Corruption, Lord of Taichu

If Lingtian Demon Venerable still had his spiritual wisdom, he would probably keep chasing after Han Yi to attack, but at this moment, he has gone mad with demonic possession and does not have a specific target to pursue. Instead, he attacks anyone who is close.

Han Yi merged into the crowd of fleeing Heavenly Sovereigns, his figure flickering and changing. Using a shift in aura and a speed not inferior to Lingtian Demon Venerable’s, he swiftly shook off the murderous pursuit.

Along the way, he encountered three demonically possessed Demon Venerables. He made quick work of them, employing the same tactics he used on Xiong Heng Demon Lord. However, this time he did not allow the Demon Lords to revive, but directly intercepted the black stream of energy mid-way and absorbed it, converting it into Boundary Power.

He discovered that by directly absorbing the black energy stream, there would not be a second energy stream to revive the Demon Lord. He was not sure how the emergence of this energy stream was triggered and determined.

Without dwelling on this puzzle, Han Yi flickered and appeared, following the guidance of Fu Xu Demon Venerable, arriving at the location of the Tao Palace of Mo Lin Court.

Much to his regret, Mo Lin Court was already in the throes of destruction by the time he arrived; even the thick earth had been upheaved hundreds of feet high.

The location of the secret vault mentioned by Fu Xu Demon Venerable was already empty. It was unclear if it had been destroyed in the battle between Heavenly Sovereigns or had been seized by some amidst the chaos.

“The vicinity of Mo Lin Court is another Tao Court, known as Longyi Tao Court.”

“However, that court is likely in the same state as what we see here, either taken away or destroyed.”

“I have arrived too late.”

The thought crossed Han Yi’s mind. He learned of this from Emperor Xuan Continent, and before he rushed here with Emperor Xuan Sect and other Heavenly Sovereigns, many Venerables had already entered Primordial Demon Sect.

Most of the Heavenly Sovereigns were confined by the Demon Lords of the Primordial Demon Sect, unable to escape, but there were still quite a few who momentarily broke free from the battle, taking advantage of the chaos within Primordial Demon Sect to fish in troubled waters, digging for treasures.

It was clear to all the Heavenly Sovereigns that something had gone wrong with Primordial Demon Sect. Perhaps after this sudden upheaval, Primordial Demon Palace would no longer exist; thus, they no longer feared the former majesty of Primordial Demon Sect.

Because more and more Heavenly Sovereigns were arriving, it was akin to the strength of nearly half of the Primordial Demon Dao Domain opposing Primordial Demon Sect. Although the Master of Primordial Demon did not enter the battle, with the black energy stream that bestowed an immortal body, both sides remained in a stalemate.

Han Yi moved through the tumultuous battlefield, searching for various Heavenly Sovereign treasures. At the same time, he took advantage of the chaos to confront and deal with initial and middle-stage demonically possessed Demon Lords, absorbing the black energy streams and transforming them into Boundary Power, while also capturing Heavenly Reverence Ancient Artifacts.

With his strength, he was sure to be safe unless he encountered a high-level Venerable Sage.

But the battlefield changes in the blink of an eye. In just a half-stick of incense’s time, a battle group suddenly collapsed. Among them, a tall and thin demonically possessed Demon Lord was released, causing havoc across the entire battlefield.

With a casual strike, he hit Han Yi, who couldn’t react in time, causing him to fall and crash down below, collapsing Dao Mountains one after another, with a thunderous roar that was incessant.

Han Yi spat out blood frantically, his face filled with terror as the world within his Divine Aperture crumbled chaotically.

One moment he was considering moving across the battlefield in search of the secret vaults, the next moment a dark shadow whizzed past and casually struck him, injuring him.

The battlefield of Primordial Demon Sect was truly too terrifying.

In the blink of an eye, he saw clearly the Demon Venerable wreaking havoc in the battlefield. It was none other than Xieyi Demon Venerable, the First Demon Venerable of Primordial Demon Sect.

According to rumors, this Demon Venerable had reached the peak state and possessed tremendous strength for dozens of Chaos Eras.

It was only because another Peak Venerable held him back that the fire of battle was confined within one faction.

However, the demonically possessed Xieyi Demon Venerable’s combat power soared again. Seizing an opportunity, he injured a Peak Venerable that was containing him and then instantaneously cut down two high-level Venerables. After escaping from the battle group, he directly broke through the core area of Primordial Demon Palace, unleashing more Demon Lords trapped in battle groups.

“This is bad.”

Han Yi, who had fallen below and buried deep within the earth by hundreds of feet, suddenly turned pale.

Previously, the Heavenly Sovereigns had isolated the Demon Lords into separate battle groups. Although these Demon Lords possessed immortal bodies, they were still being contained by the continuous influx of new Venerable Sages. Even if the battle groups occasionally collapsed, they would quickly encounter the encirclement of other Venerates and continue to be restrained.

But now, with the escape of the First Demon Venerable, Xieyi Demon Venerable, who broke through the battlefield, the entire Primordial Demon Sect quickly descended into chaos again. To restore it to the previous state of battle groups would take more time, and many Heavenly Sovereigns would fall.

During this chaotic time, which was the most dangerous, Han Yi, despite his strong power, felt a lurch in his heart and his complexion changed drastically.

Encountering other high-level Venerables would be fine; even now, as he was injured and spitting blood, the Divine Clan’s greatest strength was in their physical bodies and defensive power, so the injury was not serious.

But if the enemy he encountered were peak figures like Xieyi Demon Venerable or Heart-devouring Demon Lord, then he would be in danger of falling. After all, these Peak Venerables employed means far more powerful than those of high-level Venerables.

Earlier, when Xieyi Demon Lord brushed past with a casual strike, he injured and made Han Yi spit blood. If it wasn’t for his robust physical body, replacing him with another middle-stage or even high-stage Heavenly Venerable might result in only the Divine Soul being left, to be absorbed by the Central Palace.

Under such circumstances, if he were to take a full-strength strike head-on from Xieyi Demon Venerable, he would definitely not withstand it and would without doubt perish.

But just as his face turned pale, he saw Xieyi Demon Venerable, who had penetrated the entire battlefield, suddenly and abruptly stop.

No, it was not just him but all the demonically possessed Demon Lords on the battlefield stopped as well.
