Chapter 1962: Chapter 865: Ancestor Demon Corruption, Lord of Taichu_2

Even other Heavenly Venerates, who had not succumbed to the Demon Heaven’s influence, also came to a halt.

Han Yi’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. Just as he struggled to rise, he found an immense might bearing down on him, nearly paralyzing him.

It was then Han Yi realized that the ‘pause’ across the entire battlefield was due to this might enveloping everything.

“This is…”

As thoughts raced, a series of heavy footsteps, though faint, resonated in his ears, compelling him irresistibly to turn his head and look towards the direction of the sound.

The direction he looked towards was none other than the heart of the battlefield–the Central Palace, also known as the Primordial Demon Hall.

In an instant, a name leaped to Han Yi’s mind.

“Master of Primordial Demon!”

His expression turned to one of even greater horror.

Without the Master of Primordial Demon making a move, many Heavenly Venerates had already perished on the battlefield. If the Master of Primordial Demon took action, then all the Heavenly Venerates who entered would be undoubtedly doomed, himself included.

At this moment, Han Yi finally sensed a whiff of mortal peril, a feeling of fatal oppression he hadn’t felt in many years.

Yet, as of today, his Taoist Heart was as unshakeable as Mount Taishan; until the very last moment, he would not despair or give up.

As his thoughts surged, the footsteps ceased. Han Yi, having turned his head, saw a towering figure exceeding five meters in height, emanating an aura tainted by demon energy stepping out of the Primordial Demon Hall and standing at the very center of the battlefield.

With just one glimpse, before Han Yi could see the true face of this cultivator, he abruptly closed his eyes, a tear tainted with demon energy falling from his cheek.

Just moments ago, an overwhelming surge of demonic contamination blasted into his eyes from afar, dealing him an instant injury.

“This is the Master of Primordial Demon, what a terrifying ability. Merely with one look, my Divine Pupil was injured. If the enemy strikes at me, just a casual wave could bring about my immediate demise.”

“Half-Step Transcendence.”

“Realm Venerable, this is the Realm Venerable.”

At the same time, Han Yi, with his eyes shut, struggled to rise, but the enigmatic Tao Might bearing down on him firmly shackled him in place.

What happened to him was also happening to the other Heavenly Venerates on the battlefield. Even the three surviving Peak Venerables were unable to escape the powerful binding force, their expression horrified, fear surfacing.

Our fates are sealed.

This was what many Heavenly Venerates were concurrently thinking.

But at that moment, a thunderous and magnificent voice, as if coming from beyond the heavens, suddenly echoed through this weird fog-covered space.

“Having obtained the remains of the Ancestor Demon, you sought to advance further, to step into the rank of Transcendent Realm Venerable, but instead, you have tainted the root of the realm.”

“Primordial Demon, you’ve truly become more useless as you live.”

As this voice sounded, the Heavenly Venerates saw a blazing golden radiance tearing through the dense fog wrapping the core territory. Within the Golden Light, a majestic and towering figure stepped in.

This figure, approximately a hundred zhang tall, carried such boundless Divine Might that all the Heavenly Venerates felt like they were beholding an infinitely towering and majestic presence.

Undoubtedly, this was a Half-step Transcend Level Realm Venerable, and the infinite Divine Power he displayed clearly marked him as a Half-step Transcender from the Ancestral God Star.

In the Ancestral God Domain, no God Clan outside of the Ancestral God Star had produced a Half-step Transcender, with only the Ten Great Divine Clans boasting such mighty figures.

Upon the appearance of this God Clan Venerable, the colossal demon figure that had just emerged from the palace–the contaminated Master of Primordial Demon–suddenly raised its head. Its demon energy became chaotic and sinister, with a mad ink-like force soaring into the sky.

At the same moment, the demonic figure took a fierce inhale, and the bizarre fog around was drawn crazily towards it, all the maddened Demon Lords disintegrated of their own accord, turning into demonic materials that were absorbed by the figure.

This scene caused even Han Yi watching to feel a chill at the bottom of his heart.

Then, as the Master of Primordial Demon absorbed the fog and the Demon Lords, the figure darted upward. However, the revealed God Clan Venerable suddenly laughed loudly and threw a punch.

The many Heavenly Venerates below, including Han Yi, only saw an impossibly distant sun erupting before this God Clan Venerable–a radiance so intense and scorching that it instantly filled the entire Primordial Demon Sect.

An omnipresent blaze, so relentless that even High-level Venerable Sages subconsciously closed their eyes, unable to face it directly, while only the three Peak Venerables present could squint and make out what was happening.

Han Yi below, of course, could not see clearly. Before the resplendent sun burst forth, he had already instinctively shut his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, all the eerie fog around him was gone without a trace, and all the Demon Lords who had fallen into the demon energy had vanished.

The Master of the Primordial Demon who had just emerged from the Primordial Demon Palace, and the God Clan Venerable who had suddenly appeared, were also nowhere to be found.

Those who remained were, like himself, the normal Heavenly Venerates who had entered the Primordial Demon Sect.

At this moment, most of the injured Venerates wore a look of confusion, still unable to react to the sudden events that had just transpired.

However, the Venerates present were all deep in cultivation and soon came to their senses, their faces glowing with encouragement, experiencing a life-and-death change of heart in an instant–from despair to survival.

“Lord of Taichu.”

“It seems that even the Lord of Taichu has been alerted, which suggests that the Realm Venerable of the Ancestral God Star has been paying attention to this place.”

A well-informed Peak Venerable murmured in a low voice.

This Peak Venerable came from a Great Sect in the Primordial Demon Dao Domain, the Black Mountain Dao Sect, the founder of the Black Mountain Dao Palace, known by the Tao Title Black Mountain.

The Black Mountain Dao Sect ranked third among the major forces of the Primordial Demon Dao Domain, far stronger than the Emperor Xuan Sect; and its strength stemmed from having Black Mountain himself, a Peak Venerable, a much more formidable presence than a High-level Venerable Sage.

At this moment, Black Mountain Venerable Sage looked towards the vast Primordial Demon Sect with a flash of excitement on his face.

Many a Demon Lord within the Primordial Demon Sect had perished, and in the last scene, he had seen the Master of the Primordial Demon fleeing under the attack of the Lord of Taichu.

This meant that from now on, the Primordial Demon Sect would cease to exist.

Even if there were Venerates scattered abroad, without the Master of the Primordial Demon and the fall of two Peak Demon Venerables, it was no longer possible to stir up much turmoil.

If he could occupy the Primordial Demon Sect, no, even if he could obtain just a part of it, the Black Mountain Dao Sect would vastly strengthen in power, and he could possibly advance even further, peering into the realm of Half-Step Transcendence.

Within the ruined Primordial Demon Sect, many Venerates who had regathered their senses, just like the Black Mountain Venerable Sage, began to harbor ambitions.

At the same time.

With the dispersal of the mysterious fog, some Cultivators at the periphery of the Primordial Demon Sect, or even outside of it–those who had just passed through the connecting Tao Array–rushed towards the Primordial Demon Sect.

The peace only lasted for a few breaths before descending back into a chaotic battle.

This time, the conflict was more intense, the scale wider, and the number of fallen Cultivators even greater.

Furthermore.

The separating Tao Array beneath the Primordial Demon Sect, which had blocked above from below, was now gradually fading away with the departure of the Master of the Primordial Demon.

This Transcend Level power of the Tao Domain was gradually manifesting amidst the chaos.

As the news of the fall of the Primordial Demon Sect spread, more and more Cultivators would come here to divide the inheritance left by the Primordial Demon Sect.

And in the core area of the Primordial Demon Sect, as many Venerates began to vie for the inheritance of the Primordial Demon Sect, Han Yi did not join in; he struggled to stand up. The casual blow from the Xieyi Demon Venerable had injured his Physical Body; he vomited blood, numerous Divine Apertures within his body had shattered, but in fact, the injury was not serious.

After standing up, his expression suddenly changed as he looked at the panel. On the panel, lines of text began to jump out.

[Boundary Power absorption in progress, 19 points of Boundary Power absorbed.]

[Boundary Power absorption in progress, 13 points of Boundary Power absorbed.]

…

However, these lines of text only showed for about twenty lines before ceasing, clearly indicating that the environment he was in did not have much Boundary Power to absorb.

“Boundary Power.”

“This Boundary Power must have been spawned by the actions of the Master of the Primordial Demon and the Lord of Taichu.”

“Such a mysterious force.”

He looked around, frowning deeply.

At the moment, chaos reigned. There were Venerates unleashing their Heavenly Venerate Worlds, transporting entire mountain ranges and palaces away, as well as Dao Realm Cultivators violently chasing and killing each other, spilling blood over some treasures.

By the time Han Yi stood up, there was already a Venerate eyeing him maliciously and approaching him with ill intent.
