Chapter 579: Chapter 551: Han Yi Re-enters the Fray
“Or perhaps, a part of the Sky Slaughter Sword.”
A gleam flashed in Li Fan’s eyes.
Essence of Heaven and Earth acted as a cage, trapping the Broken Sword with overwhelming evil energy.
The scene that Long Yueyou had described, reminded Li Fan instantly of the Cyan Wind Sword Trap in the sky above the Misthaven Ocean.
However, unlike what Li Fan had previously witnessed, Long Jiuyuan’s Unity-Path opportunity appeared in Sky-spirit State.
The Essence of Heaven and Earth was also the Black Swarm, not the Green Wind.
But…
The main characters in both cases were astonishingly consistent, a Broken Sword brimming with ominous energy.
Li Fan could almost be certain that both elements found in the Misthaven Ocean and the Sky-spirit State constituted parts of the complete Sky Slaughter Sword.
“The Sky Slaughter Sword, once the weapon of the old Fisherman, had shattered and scattered around.”
“Yet even these incomplete remnants of the sword could still counteract the Essence of Heaven and Earth.”
“What’s more, the Sky Slaughter Sword Hilt later even managed to break free from the Cyan Wind’s imprisonment. In the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, the Turtle-Snake Taiyi that suppressed it also had a hard time, being forced into hibernation.”
“Merely shard was already so formidable, so how powerful would the complete Sky Slaughter Sword be?”
Li Fan was shocked in his heart.
Now he knew of three shards. Would there be more of them in other places?
What kind of secret does the Sky Slaughter Sword have which would force the Essence of Heaven and Earth to press it down everywhere?
And, what level of cultivation is the Fisherman, the main controller of the Sky Slaughter Sword?
“Fisherman, Celestial Doctor, Scholar…”
Li Fan narrowed his eyes.
These three were clearly acquainted with each other, but their pasts were extremely mysterious. Like a dense fog that could not be pierced.
Moreover, Li Fan had a vague sense.
The secret between them was very important to him!
“Enemies meet, particularly jealous. I hope that in this life, when the three of them battle, I can get a glimpse of the truth.”
Li Fan, on one hand, used the Formless Killing Machine to lock onto Zhou Kebao, continuing to monitor the situation on Long Yueyou’s side.
On the other hand, he moved once more, flying towards the destination he had initially planned to go to.
According to Long Yueyou’s following narration, when Long Jiuyuan saw the stalemate between the Broken Sword and the Black Swarm, he was greatly startled.
However, he didn’t lose his senses to the enticing Unity-Path opportunity that sat right before his eyes.
Long Jiuyuan clearly knew that the stalemate between the Broken Sword and the Black Swarm had reached a certain balance.
If he acted rashly and disrupted this balance,
He might just do the opposite, and might have to face the combined attack of the Broken Sword and the Black Swarm.
After all, a God Transformation level cultivator meddling in the struggle for Unity-Path was essentially a provocation.
Thus Long Jiuyuan made a snap decision within an instant. His protective Magic tool was destroyed, but he risked serious injuries to his body and burst out of the Black Swarm Sea.
After a brief recovery period, Long Jiuyuan set up [The Great Array of Heaven and Earth Isolation] around.
This array only had one purpose, and that was to sever the connection between the Essence of Heaven and Earth and the Heaven and Earth themselves.
Although the Essence of Heaven and Earth is the manifestation of the laws, if once it’s cut off, it would become like a water source or a tree without roots, its strength would slowly weaken in continuous depletion.
Originally, the Black Swarm and the remnant of the Sky Slaughter Sword were evenly matched. If it grew weaker, the Sky Slaughter Sword would have a chance!
Then Long Jiuyuan lurked in the vicinity, quietly waiting for changes.
Indeed, a few months later, the Black Swarm in the deep mountains behaved as if it was boiling, churning violently.
This anomaly lasted for almost half a day. Finally, a sword shadow burst out of the Black Swarm cage, shooting towards the sky and disappeared.
The Swamp Sea melted away like ice and snow, rapidly shrinking towards the middle. A moment later, it all concentrated on the humanoid body of the [Black Swamp].
After barely distinguishing the direction where the Sky Slaughter Sword had gone, the Black Swarm was about to chase after it.
Just as this was happening…
Long Jiuyuan made his move!
He used his full strength as soon as he launched his attack, without any reservation.
The outcome of this battle, was already predetermined.
Black Swarm, annihilated.
Long Jiuyuan, Unity-Path accomplished!
“I recall, in the last Celestial Spirit State War, a Unity-Path expert appeared to have fallen. I wonder if this newly ascended Unity Immortal Monarch will be able to escape this tribulation.”
As the thought flashed across his mind, Li Fan’s destination was already within sight.
It appeared to be a deserted island.
The island wasn’t the aim, the person on the island was Li Fan’s target.
It was the missing Han Yi!
Ever since the day he narrowly escaped death from Li Fan’s hands and dived into the Submerged relics, he hasn’t shown up.
It was only recently that Li Fan sensed his return to the Immortal Cultivation World.
Not from the same deep-sea tunnel but from a ruin hundreds of miles away, he emerged again.
He seemed to be in a bad state, his clothes were full of blood stains, tattered and worn.
It appeared that he had suffered serious injuries and had to rest on a nearby island.
Upon sensing this scene, Li Fan decisively tracked him down.
Cloaking his form, Li Fan watched Han Yi from a distance.
After such a long absence, he was still a Perfect Energy Cultivator, failing to build a solid foundation.
But there was a strange aura around him that didn’t exist before.
Li Fan hadn’t noticed it earlier.
But at this moment, Han Yi was unconscious due to heavy injuries. This aura naturally showed itself, helping Han Yi heal himself.
His pale face was visibly turning rosy. The once weak breathing gradually became steady and strong.
A hint of surprise flickered in Li Fan’s eyes.
Contemplating for a moment, Li Fan showed himself and used the “Binding Worm” divine technique to control Han Yi.
Then he activated the “Mistwater Mirage Technique” and entered into Han Yi’s dream.
Perhaps because he had just escaped from the calamity, Han Yi’s mental defenses were unexpectedly frail.
It didn’t take long for Li Fan to break through.
In the dream, Li Fan learned about Han Yi’s experiences during this time.
That day, after Han Yi was sucked in by the sudden underwater whirlpool, he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found himself naked and tightly bound.
Beside him were terrifying human-body-beast-face creatures.
They formed a circle, dancing and performing some mysterious rite.
In the middle was a raging fire.
It seemed like they were planning to throw Han Yi as some sort of offering into the fire.
Instantly, Han Yi was frightened till his face turned pale, wanting to break free.
But, despairingly, he realized that there was no spiritual energy present in the surroundings.
Also, for some unknown reason, the spiritual power in his Dantian had already dried up.
Like a mortal, Han Yi had no choice but to watch as he was about to be joyously thrown into the fire by these human-body-beast-face monsters.
Just when Han Yi thought he was certain to die, the sky suddenly darkened.
A downpour arrived out of nowhere, extinguishing the fire in seconds.
Han Yi was overjoyed.
Whereas those monsters, were terrified.
They threw Han Yi aside, and began to continuously knock their heads on the ground.
The rain continued for half a day before it stopped.
The monsters merely pleaded in fear in the rain for half a day.
After the rain stopped, the monsters slowly dispersed.
As for the sacrifice, Han Yi, he was naturally re-imprisoned.
