Chapter 1972: Chapter 870: Peak Grave Beast, High-level Qingping_2

“The first sword of the ‘Ten Directions Exterminating Tao Tribulation Ash Sword Scripture’.”

Exterminating Tao.

The Green Reed Sword was originally the sword carried by Lord Tiantong; its attribute is the ultimate weapon of slaughter, rivaling even the Exterminating Immortal Four Swords, each with their own exceptional qualities.

The attribute of destruction fits incredibly well with this sword scripture.

Hence, utilizing the Green Reed Sword to execute the first movement of the sword scripture nearly perfectly manifests the most formidable might of this sword skill.

Boom!!

However, in front of Han Yi, that massive beast took the sword strike head-on, one of its huge legs severed, but it turned and roared, charging toward Han Yi.

Should one be hit head-on by this charge, not to mention Han Yi, even a Great World would perish.

Yet Han Yi seems to have anticipated this, as with a slight flicker, he vanished from the spot, and when he reappeared, he was at the beast’s side, raising his hand for another sword strike.

His speed has, following his ascent to Middle-stage Heavenly Venerate, doubled up in both systems, making him fast enough to rank amongst even the High-level Venerable Sages, not quite up to the caliber of a Peak Venerable, but definitely competitive in speed.

The second sword is the first move of the sword scripture, Tribulation Ash.

This move embodies the sword intention of a Tao Tribulation turning to ash, and the Tomb Beast itself is a creature of great tribulations, so with the similarity in attributes, it takes even more damage, directly slicing open the beast’s underbelly.

But what shocks Han Yi internally is that in just a single breath’s time, this Tomb Beast has already recovered, and the energy it uses to do so comes from the deepest layers of space, a power transfer that seemingly can occur through the emptiness.

“Tomb Beasts are the products of Chaos corruption, similar to cancer in the Chaos Realm.”

“The fact that this Tomb Beast can receive corruptive energy supplementation out of thin air indicates that the Corruption of the Taoist Spirit Chaos World has reached a certain level.”

Before this, Han Yi had encountered many Tomb Beasts, but he has never come across a situation like the present one.

His expression grows even more solemn.

With a wave of his hand, Sword Light emerges once again, Exterminating Tao and Tribulation Ash intertwining to form a formidable sword net, firmly trapping the Tomb Beast.

However, no matter how powerful the Sword Light is, although the Tomb Beast continually sustains injuries, it simply cannot be killed.

Han Yi stows away the Green Reed Sword, switching to the Seven Absolute Ancient Saber, repeatedly utilizing the Seven Absolute Divine Skills.

Blade Radiance, Wild Roar, Black Tribulation, Heaven Split, Endless Light, Annihilation Form, Sky Surpassing Absolute End.

These seven Divine Skills are the most powerful of the Seven Absolute Ancient Saber, and in combination with this Middle-stage Ancient Saber, they can unleash incredibly devastating might.

Among these, Blade Radiance, Black Tribulation, and Endless Light had already been used by Han Yi before.

With his strength now enhanced, he can perform all seven styles, although he can’t yet reach the peak with the last two, he’s almost there.

But moments later, this huge Tomb Beast, despite being severely wounded, simply refuses to die.

Han Yi’s brow furrows, the sword skills and divine arts he is currently employing are almost the strongest he possesses, particularly the “Ten Directions Exterminating Tao Tribulation Ash Sword Scripture” executed with the Green Reed Sword.

The Green Reed Sword is a High-level Ancient Sword and this mysterious sword scripture, gleaned from transcendental Tao Traces, combined, make Han Yi feel among the High-level Venerable Sages, he is quite remarkable.

“Could it be that only a Peak Venerable can exterminate this Tomb Beast?”

Han Yi decisively gives up and turns to leave. When the severely injured Tomb Beast recovers, he has already traversed a great distance, escaping the beast’s pursuit.

Tomb Beasts lack intelligence; even knowing they can’t win, they still harbor hostility and the desire to attack all ‘living’ entities.

Having moved some distance away, Han Yi encounters another Tomb Beast, which is not in its mature stage, but rather in its Juvenile Stage.

He unleashes Blade Radiance, instantly slaying this Tomb Beast. This time, the beast dissipates, turning into a decayed aura that falls into the lowest layer of space, vanishing from sight.

This allows Han Yi to breathe a sigh of relief.

If even the Newborn and Juvenile Stage Tomb Beasts possessed such aberrant ‘recovery’ and ‘undying’ capabilities, the damage to the entire Taoist Spirit Chaos World would be tremendous.

And from the two encounters just now, it seems that only the peak mature Tomb Beasts possess such perverse abilities.

Han Yi speculates that perhaps these peak Tomb Beasts have reached a certain threshold, a threshold that grants them these abilities.

“However, even immortality has its limits. If my strength were greater, reaching the Peak Heavenly Sovereign, or even surpassing the Peak Heavenly Sovereign, perhaps, it would take but a single sword strike to slay the behemoth I encountered before.”

“Ultimately, it all comes down to insufficient strength.”

Han Yi gathered his thoughts and then made his way towards the Chaos Divine City.

With his current speed, it only took him an hour to travel from the edge of the Tao Domain to the Chaos Divine City located at the center of the Ancestral God Domain.

He came to the Chaos Divine City because this divine city serves as the portal to the outside world on the Ancestral God Star, hosting many businesses, including those of the Ten Great Divine Clans. As an Elder of the Taichu Divine Race, Han Yi could receive more benefits and almost guaranteed safety.

At the heart of the Chaos Divine City lies the Taichu Pavilion.

Wearing the attire of an Elder of Taichu, Han Yi stepped in. He did not conceal the aura of a Middle-level Divine Sovereign about him. The High-level Divine Clan shopkeeper of the Infinite Realm on the first floor greeted Han Yi respectfully.

“Greetings, Elder Yi.”

Han Yi nodded. It was no surprise to him that he was recognized. When he ascended to Middle-level Divine Sovereign years ago, it caused quite a stir. He even had a dispute with the Taiji Venerable Sage, one of the Ten Great Divine Clans, which attracted onlookers from all of the Ten Great Divine Clans on the Ancestral God Star.

Hence, for a shopkeeper who should be well-informed, if he couldn’t even recognize an Elder of his own Clan, that would definitely be problematic.

“Which Elder is currently the guardian of the pavilion? I am here today to conduct some business.”

“For the past hundred years, Elder X has been presiding over the pavilion.”

“Elder X is on the ninth floor.”

“Very well, I’ll go up myself.”

The Elder X mentioned by the Infinite Realm shopkeeper is Dongfang Xu, a Middle-level Divine Sovereign, whose realm is equivalent to Han Yi’s.

The Taichu Divine Race does not have a High-stage Divine Sovereign stationed permanently at the Taichu Pavilion in Chaos Divine City. Instead, they appoint a Middle-level Divine Sovereign, which is already sufficient.

Generally, no High-stage Divine Sovereign would dare to cause trouble in the Chaos Divine City because the Ten Great Divine Clans take turns sending Peak Divine Sovereigns to serve as the master of the divine city. The current master of the Chaos Divine City is Huangfu Zheng.

Years ago, before Han Yi became a Middle-level Divine Sovereign, he had even met Huangfu Zheng once.

Taichu Pavilion has nine floors. Before Han Yi stepped onto the ninth floor, a deep yet slightly puzzled voice came from above.

“Elder Yi.”

Han Yi ascended to the ninth floor and saw a robust middle-aged man whose Divine Might was completely hidden within, not leaking even the slightest bit.

This middle-aged man was Dongfang Xu. In the Taichu Divine Race, his strength was even greater than Dongfang He, whom Han Yi was familiar with.

“Greetings, Elder Xu.”

Han Yi gave a closed-fist salute.

Although they had never met, at the Taichu Hall years ago, Han Yi had reviewed information on all the Divine Sovereigns of the Taichu Divine Race and the Ancestral God Star that he could find. Dongfang Xu, a Middle-level Divine Sovereign, was naturally among them.

Dongfang Xu also greeted Han Yi and then asked:

“Elder Yi, is your visit this time due to an arrangement by the Clan?”

In Dongfang Xu’s view, Han Yi, also a Middle-level Divine Sovereign, was very likely sent by the Taichu Hall, hence the question.

But Han Yi shook his head and replied:

“Not so. My visit this time is due to my own intentions.”

“Thousands of years ago, I passed through the Primordial Demon Dao Domain and happened to witness the collapse of the Primordial Demon Sect. By chance, I obtained some gains. There are some Unique Objects that I cannot use, so I plan to exchange them for Origin Crystals.”

“I also need to trouble Elder Xu for some artifact identification.”

Hearing this, Dongfang Xu’s eyes lit up.

He obviously also knew about the collapse of the Primordial Demon Sect, an incident that, following the calamity of the Tao Tomb, had profoundly shaken the various forces of Chaos.

Although it was over five thousand years ago, the Cultivators still discuss the collapse of the Primordial Demon Sect.

Back then, when the news reached the Chaos Divine City, Dongfang Xu, unable to leave his post at Taichu Pavilion, had sent a powerful Incarnation to the Primordial Demon Sect. But by the time he arrived, all the good items had been taken, and he could only regret what had been missed.
