Chapter 473: Chapter 245: Human Emperor Slays Demons, Ancient Corpse Devours Souls_2
After an hour.
He finally stopped and looked back. Behind him, endless vibrations and storms filled the sky with dust, swallowing one Immortal City after another near Shu Du. The central area of Shu State had already collapsed and was in shambles.
Although Han Yi couldn’t see the current state of Shu Du, a broken image had already formed in his mind.
Immortal Rings shattered, Spirit Veins dispersed, sects perished, and mortals died out.
He waited for a moment.
Then he slowly set off, heading towards Shu Du.
The catastrophe had ended, and he needed to go and find the other cultivators of Xuandan Sect.
Under normal circumstances, during the fall of Shu Du, cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage or sects with Immortal Boats should be able to fly into the sky and escape early.
With Zhuge Wu You and many Foundation Establishment Elders left in Xuandan Sect, the other cultivators should be able to survive after he leaves.
Based on the estimated time, the people of Xuandan Sect should have just left the boundaries of Shu Du and were heading north. If Han Yi chased after them now, he should be able to catch up halfway.
After another hour, Han Yi saw the broken Shu Du from a distance. The once towering Immortal City now resembled endless ruins.
He did not step into the broken Immortal City but bypassed the outskirts of the broken Shu Du and headed north.
The reconstruction of Shu Du would be handled by the Daqian Six Ministries.
However,
One day later, Han Yi suddenly tensed up, but forcibly suppressed the impulse to turn around and flee. He casually controlled the Immortal Boat and moved forward. There was no change in speed, but his heart was already on high alert.
Not far to his right, a cultivator emerged from the broken Shu Du, covered in blood with tattered robes and Demon Energy constantly leaking from his body, dissipating as it left his body.
The reason Han Yi was so nervous was that he recognized the cultivator.
Star River Monarch.
This was the Star River Monarch that he had seen in Shi Heng’s memory, who also had another identity as one of the eight protectors of the Fragrance Sect.
Enemies always seem to meet on a narrow path.
Han Yi sighed internally at his misfortune, but even an injured Monarch was not something he, a mere Middle Golden Core Stage Cultivator, could deal with.
Moreover, Star River Monarch was not an ordinary Monarch; he was at the Nascent Soul Late Stage and ranked among the top within the Monarchs.
At this moment, Han Yi could only pray that the other party had not noticed him, or even if they did, they would leave due to their serious injuries and the urge to heal.
However, the moment Star River Monarch, who had just rushed out of Shu Du with a shocked expression on his face, saw Han Yi, his face revealed a hint of joy.
He knew clearly that both his body and his identity were now at a dead end.
Just the invisible sword intention emitted by the Human Emperor Sword had caused the deaths of five of their eight protectors. Only three of them managed to escape, but they couldn’t last long either. Whether it was their physical body or their Nascent Soul, both were deteriorating. Time was running out for him.
Except for reincarnation, possession was the only way out, and he had to run far away from the Daqian Region to do it.
Coincidentally, he saw the most suitable cultivator for possession.
The Xuandan Sect’s Han Yi.
He was not unfamiliar with this cultivator. More than a decade ago, Han Yi had destroyed a medicine field of the Holy Church, which subsequently sent out several envoys and hall masters, all of whom were defeated by him. Eight years prior, they had even sent three hall masters at once, with one killed on the spot, one managing to escape with his Divine Soul, and one fleeing with minor injuries.
If it hadn’t been for their loader’s grand plan for the Demon Country, Han Yi would have been dead long ago.
However,
It was about time and fate that Han Yi was saved, just so that he could be possessed by him. It was truly a great stroke of luck.
Whatever secret he held would belong to him after the possession.
“Could you be Han Yi of the Xuandan Sect?”
“Please stay.”
“I am the Star River Monarch of the Star Moon Sect.”
“I met your sect’s Qin Wuxian a few days ago, and he asked me to convey an important message to your sect.”
To Han Yi’s horror, the Star River Monarch, who had originally been flying out of Shu Du and heading outward, unexpectedly turned around and pursued him, even bringing up Qin Wuxian in the process.
What a schemer.
If Han Yi hadn’t known from Shi Heng’s memory that Qin Wuxian was killed by him, he might have really stopped at this moment.
Although Han Yi didn’t dare to stop, he cupped his hands behind his back hesitantly and said:
“Junior Han Yi pays his respects to the Star River Monarch.”
“Please forgive me, but I have to rescue the other disciples of the Xuandan Sect first. Once I have settled the disciples within the sect, I will personally visit the Star Moon Sect.”
In an attempt to make his hesitation appear genuine, Han Yi paused the Immortal Boat for a moment and continued to move forward at the same speed as before.
Star River Monarch frowned slightly but chuckled softly.
“Are you afraid of me?”
“Do you know my true identity?”
“Enough, there’s no need for any further words at this point.”
Starlight flickered from the Star River Monarch’s tattered robe, one after another, lighting up. Then, a piece of starry sky unfolded from the void within the robe. In an instant, it spread out for tens of miles.
At the same time, Han Yi’s face changed dramatically, and he began to accelerate frantically. However, the Nine Orifices Immortal Boat was just an Upper Grade magical artifact, and Han Yi was merely at the Middle Golden Core Stage. Facing a Nascent Soul Late Stage Star River Monarch, the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Lower Grade Spiritual Treasure, All Heavens True Form Diagram.
Even though this Spiritual Treasure had been more than half damaged in order to resist the sword intention and had almost lost its spirituality, it was not something a Golden Core cultivator could compare with..
