Chapter 1980: Chapter 874: The Transformation of the Tomb Beast, Jade Venerable Heavenly Sovereign_2
And beyond the Peak Grave Beast, a higher-ranking Grave Beast is something Han Yi had never encountered before this time.
He was also very curious about what changes this Grave Beast would undergo.
But just at that moment, an anomaly suddenly occurred.
From within the body of this Grave Beast, a yellow Talisman suddenly floated out, three feet wide and with deeply profound and mysterious runes inscribed upon it.
No sooner had the Talisman floated out, the Grave Beast, whose aura was still on the rise, abruptly paused, and then, the entire Grave Beast disintegrated, turning into strands of dark energy that surged into the yellow Talisman.
In the Chaos, a Miracle emerged.
Underneath a Talisman of only three feet, countless strands of disintegrated dark energy turned into a torrent, crazily rushing into the Talisman, which swallowed everything entering it like a bottomless pit, even corrupted Chaotic Power could be accommodated.
The hundred billion feet tall Grave Beast, within a mere ten breaths, had completely dissipated, leaving only one yellow Talisman, with dark radiance, suspended in the Chaos, gently drifting.
This scene caused Han Yi’s face to drastically change and struck terror into his heart.
However, the energy emanating from his body was crazily suppressed, reduced to the extreme.
The scene before him was horrifying.
That mysterious yellow Talisman must surely come from the hand of some Cultivator, or some power.
The fact that it could absorb a Grave Beast that had matured to its peak was both confusing and shocking to him.
You must know.
What he had understood previously was that in the entire Taoist Spirit Chaos World, when Grave Beasts perished, they would disintegrate into the most decayed, most negative energy, sinking into the deepest space, and through transformation, evolve into Tomb Explosion, birthing new Grave Beasts.
Therefore, in a certain sense, Grave Beasts are immortal.
Han Yi had also tried multiple times, using various methods, to intercept the dispersing energy of a slain Grave Beast, but whether with any type of container, or a Tao Array, or other means, he ultimately found it impossible to intercept.
These energies seemed to be different from the Chaos dimension, existing in an additional space, slowly sinking into the deepest layer of the Chaos.
But now, right before his eyes, a Grave Beast absorbed by the three feet yellow Talisman leaked no energy at all, not a sliver.
This situation left him astonishingly shocked and reset his understanding.
Subsequently, he suddenly came to a realization.
The owner of this yellow Talisman must need to implant the yellow Talisman inside the body of a mature-period Grave Beast, and then its trigger condition is for the Grave Beast to break through to the peak level, with its aura touching a higher layer.
The Cultivator who could lay down the Talisman must be extremely powerful.
Furthermore, for this matter to go unnoticed by the outer world Heavenly Tais, there must be some kind of heaven-defying method of deceit.
“No wonder, within the entire Burial Disaster Dao Domain, no peak Grave Beast can be found; turns out all the ones that reach this level are being absorbed.”
“And the Cultivator or power capable of doing all this is definitely not simple.”
Han Yi’s eyebrows twitched wildly, he had a premonition that the scene he was witnessing must contain deeper secrets.
Moreover.
The reason for Dongfang He’s fall over a thousand years ago might also be related to this.
Thinking of this, Han Yi’s heart grew even more solemn.
In the midst of his thoughts, he stopped moving, standing in place like a boulder, his aura masked by the raging Chaotic Powers, making it hard for even a Peak Venerable to detect him unless they were very close.
He believed that since this yellow Talisman had an owner, it would definitely undergo further changes and would not remain here indefinitely.
What he was waiting for, were further changes.
Thus, a day later, Han Yi suddenly sensed something and looked towards a certain direction, where there was a pathway leading to other Dao Domains.
There, a figure strode through the Chaos, whose aura, though not very pronounced, still caused Han Yi, who was concealing his own, to narrow his pupils.
“Yuan Ding Venerable.”
This Heavenly Venerable stepping through the Chaos, although Han Yi had never met him, he had high-level contacts within the entire Taoist Spirit Chaos World, and had some understanding of the high-level and Peak Venerables.
This Venerable bore the Tao Title Yuan Ding, and his identity was completely beyond Han Yi’s expectations.
Yuan Ding Venerable is one of the two Vice Palace Masters of the Yutian Dao Palace, and his realm has already reached the Peak Heavenly Sovereign level, with several decades of experience in this realm during the Chaos Era.
Han Yi had not expected that the bizarre transformation of the Tomb Beast in the Burial Disaster Dao Domain would actually be connected to the Yutian Dao Palace.
The Yutian Dao Palace is located in the Heavenly Destiny Dao Domain, and one must pass through both the Ancient Netherworld and Guanghan Dao Domains to reach the Burial Disaster Dao Domain.
After careful calculation, indeed, the time it takes for a Peak Heavenly Sovereign to arrive here is about one day.
That is to say, when the Tomb Beast triggered the opportunity to advance, setting off the yellow Talisman buried within its body, Yuan Ding Venerable in the distant Yutian Dao Palace would be informed and hasten to collect the yellow Talisman.
Although Han Yi did not know what use there was in collecting the decaying energy dispersed after the destruction of the Tomb Beast, he knew that the action of a Vice Palace Master at the Peak Heavenly Venerable level definitely concealed a tremendous secret.
Considering the current situation in the Burial Disaster Dao Domain, all the Peak Grave Beasts in the domain should have been claimed by Yuan Ding Venerable.
Additionally.
Han Yi speculated that Dongfang He, more than a thousand years ago, must have discovered this point, or happened to encounter the advancement of a Tomb Beast, with Yuan Ding Venerable arriving on the scene. To keep the secret from being leaked, he would have killed Dongfang He and erased all traces.
This possibility is quite significant.
The Yutian Dao Palace is a major power that conducts extensive research on fate and cause and effect. Many of its Heavenly Venerate Skills involve those aspects.
With Yuan Ding Venerable’s realm and strength, to erase traces, even sending a High-stage Divine Sovereign, or a Peak Divine Sovereign from the Ancestral God Star might not be able to detect anything.
Thoughts surged in Han Yi’s heart, yet without the slightest fluctuation.
He watched as Yuan Ding Venerable approached the floating chaotic yellow Talisman and, with a gentle wave, collected it. Afterwards, this Vice Palace Master of the Yutian Dao Palace did not return immediately but went toward other locations in the Burial Disaster Dao Domain.
Han Yi remained in place without moving. After thirty minutes, he resumed his journey and fled to the boundary.
During this process, his heart was filled with solemnity and tension.
Against a Peak Heavenly Sovereign, he would certainly not be a match with his current strength, but by giving it his all, he had a high probability of escaping with his life.
However, he was not certain if making a commotion would cause the Palace Master of the Yutian Dao Palace, a Half-step Transcend Level powerhouse, to intervene.
Once a Realm Venerable took action, he would have absolutely no power to resist and would be wiped out instantly, meeting his demise here.
A quarter of an hour later, Han Yi crossed the Dao Domain passage and entered the Guanghan Dao Domain. Upon arrival, he did not let down his guard.
The path he took was different from the direction Yuan Ding Venerable came from, it was not the same, but that did not guarantee there wouldn’t be individuals guarding this place at the border of the Guanghan Dao Domain.
Furthermore.
He was extra cautious, not only wary of the Yutian Dao Palace, but also including the Guanghan Tao Palace in his scope of suspicion.
Geographically, the Guanghan Tao Palace is the gateway to the Burial Disaster Dao Palace. Normally, to reach the Burial Disaster Dao Domain, one would pass through here.
The strange incident involving Tomb Beasts in the Burial Disaster Dao Domain has never been leaked. Han Yi definitely did not believe the Guanghan Tao Palace was unaware of it.
Of course, a generic Heavenly Venerate Divine Sovereign visiting this place would not deliberately seek out Tomb Beasts, scouring the entire Dao Domain.
Had Han Yi not spent enough time and gained experiences from several Dao Domains, he too would have found it difficult to notice this.
After entering the Guanghan Dao Domain, he did not traverse the entire domain but found a small relic site for secret cultivation.
He summoned the Green Reed Sword, deploying the Heavenly Venerate Sword Domain, but he did not aggressively expand its power. Instead, he created a hidden domain where cultivators who enter cannot leave. From the outside, one could only see chaos and was unable to see the inside of the Sword Domain.
He then fell silent, quietly settling down to temporarily suppress the events encountered in the Burial Disaster Dao Domain.
The secret hidden within the Burial Disaster Dao Domain, he had only glimpsed the surface and did not know its true purpose, but what he was sure of was that, once the secret is revealed, it would be absolutely earth-shattering.
And the fall of Dongfang He was highly likely related to this.
However, whether it be the death of Dongfang He or the secret of the Burial Disaster Dao Domain, these involved Jade Venerable and perhaps even the Master of Heaven–matters he currently could not interfere with.
Strength.
What he still lacked was strength.
With thoughts surging, he closed his eyes, and the Life Seeds on his forehead began to burn!!
