Chapter 1954: Chapter 861: Ashes Fall, Evil Demon Startles_2

His displeasure quickly faded, his expression became serious, and he bowed towards Han Yi.

“Han Daoist, I am Puchen, the master of Puchen Mountain in Emperor Xuan Continent.”

“Daoist has just arrived at Emperor Xuan Continent and is unaware. Just now there was news saying there has been a major incident involving Primordial Demon Sect and Primordial Demon Dao City, hence, the Heavenly Venerates who knew about the news wanted to rush over and check it out immediately.”

Han Yi slightly raised his eyebrows. Primordial Demon Sect was a master-level major power in the Dao Domain, unlike other major forces that established themselves in the Chaos Continent. It was hidden above a Dao City, which was Primordial Demon Dao City.

Han Yi, who came from Ancestral God Star years ago, had visited Primordial Demon Dao City. In the Dao City, he entered the Di Mo Pavilion and spent quite a few Origin Crystals to acquire the location of True Holy Palace and Moonlight Venerable.

Although Di Mo Pavilion leaked his information, after he slew a Heavenly Venerate, he contracted the first Heavenly Reverence Level Wan Ming Incarnation, Yuhai Venerate.

Primordial Demon Dao City is vast, much larger than the Ancient Great World, and stands as a colossal entity in the Chaos, serving as the only route to the Primordial Demon Palace.

Usually, external sect cultivators are unable to enter Primordial Demon Sect, they only wander within Primordial Demon Dao City. Even the cultivators of Primordial Demon Sect need to pass through a specific Tao Array to enter.

According to Puchen Heavenly Venerate, both Primordial Demon Sect and Primordial Demon Dao City had encountered issues and the news has been widely spread. This was definitely not a minor problem. No wonder the Supreme Elder of Emperor Xuan Sect and other Heavenly Venerates rushed over.

“What exactly is the problem? Do you know, Daoist?” Han Yi immediately asked.

However, Puchen Heavenly Venerate hesitated before saying,

“I am not aware of the specific reason either.”

“I have received very little information. I only know that there is a breach in the Array of Primordial Demon Sect, which along with the pathways leading to Primordial Demon Dao City, has opened from the inside, and many cultivators of Primordial Demon Dao City who passed through the breach into Primordial Demon Sect have not returned.”

Upon hearing this, Han Yi’s heart skipped a beat.

Primordial Demon Dao City is the connection point to the outside for Primordial Demon Sect, unlike how Chaos Divine City is far from Ancestral God Star, Primordial Demon Dao City is right beneath Primordial Demon Sect.

And if the external pathway of Primordial Demon Sect suddenly opened, and those who entered from the outside haven’t returned, it indicates that something drastic must have happened within Primordial Demon Sect.

Such an event even threatened the existence of Primordial Demon Sect.

No wonder so many Heavenly Venerates from Emperor Xuan Continent were alarmed.

Seeing Han Yi deep in thought, Puchen Heavenly Venerate did not dare to disturb him. When Han Yi came back to his senses, he bowed again: “Han Daoist, if there is nothing else, we shall part ways here.”

Han Yi nodded his head, “Thank you, Daoist Puchen.”

Puchen Heavenly Venerate, seeing Han Yi did not further trouble him and merely stopped him to understand why so many Heavenly Venerates were mobilized, felt relieved.

The flash of Divine Venerable Aura from Han Yi that he captured a while ago was immensely powerful, causing him to tremble. In a trance, he seemed to see a majestic figure from the Divine Clan, sitting in the chaos, surrounded by vast Chaotic Power, making his heart surge with fear.

Then, bowing again to Han Yi, Puchen Heavenly Venerate’s figure flickered, entering the chaos, pursuing the direction of the departing Heavenly Venerates, which was also the direction of Primordial Demon Sect.

Han Yi paused on the spot, then, likewise, headed towards the direction of Primordial Demon Sect.

He was not one to join in the bustle without purpose, but the occurrence at a domain master-level great sect compelled him to investigate.

Considering that Primordial Demon Sect housed a Half-step Transcendence Realm Venerable, such a powerhouse could not encounter trouble silently; exterminating such a force would definitely spark a war that alarms the entire Dao Domain.

Thus, in Han Yi’s view, the situation at Primordial Demon Sect, as mentioned by Puchen Heavenly Venerate, was exceedingly peculiar and puzzling.

Han Yi was swift. Since he intended to investigate, he wouldn’t dawdle. With his speed at full, combining the Traceless of the Chaos No Boundary with the Heavenly Venerate Skill, he immediately propelled his speed to the High-level Venerable level.

As Puchen Heavenly Venerate moved through the chaos, seeing Han Yi dart past, his expression showed a hint of reverence.

“Indeed, this powerful individual has concealed his cultivation. He is not a mere Initial Stage Heavenly Venerate, but rather a High-level Venerable Sage. Luckily, I have not offended him.”

Puchen Heavenly Venerate withdrew his gaze, focused on hurrying along the way, yet his heart was faintly ablaze.

“This incident at the Primordial Demon Palace is both an opportunity and a challenge for an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign like me.”

“That is the Primordial Demon Palace, where even a bit of leaked resources would be enough to elevate my cultivation to a higher level.”

“Of course, it is also considerably dangerous. It will attract the attention of Heavenly Sovereign powerhouses from the entire Primordial Demon Dao Domain. A single misstep could lead to death and the annihilation of my Dao.”

On the other side, Han Yi swiftly made his way, spending just over three hours to reach the vicinity of the Primordial Demon Dao City. As he approached, more and more Heavenly Sovereigns appeared nearby.

This was the first time Han Yi had seen so many Heavenly Sovereigns gathering; he detected the presence of more than a hundred.

Among them, most were at the Initial Stage Heavenly Venerate level, fewer than ten at Mid-stage, and only two at the High-level Venerable Sage.

Of course, these were only the ones he encountered. The number of Heavenly Sovereigns heading toward the Primordial Demon Sect was definitely several or even dozens of times greater than those Han Yi met.

Influential forces like the Emperor Xuan Sect were almost certain to act upon hearing the news.

Moreover, some Heavenly Sovereigns thought that when one whale falls, a myriad of creatures thrives. If the Primordial Demon Sect were really destroyed, the resulting wealth of resources would far surpass what any Heavenly Sovereign could imagine.

Thus, the attending Heavenly Sovereigns harbored both reverence for the Primordial Demon Sect and an eager desire to confirm whether it was really in trouble, longing for the massive resources that would be released upon its collapse.

It is worth noting that the Primordial Demon Sect was the only remaining Overlord Level power in the Primordial Demon Dao Domain, having vanquished Ashen Mountain, which effectively made them the holder of the top resources across the entire Dao Domain.

Therefore, if released, it might present an unmatched opportunity for ordinary Heavenly Sovereigns.

In the Chaos, Han Yi gradually slowed down.

Ahead of him, a massive Dao City floated in the midst of Chaos. This Dao City was even larger than the entire Ancient Great World, and Han Yi was familiar with it, having visited once before.

This Dao City was the Primordial Demon Dao City, a place where the Primordial Demon Sect connected with regions beyond its borders.

But in Han Yi’s view, despite the presence of strong cultivators guarding it, the current Primordial Demon Dao City, possessing only Harmonization and lacking any Heavenly Sovereigns, was gradually descending into chaos. As time passed, this chaos would only intensify, eventually becoming uncontainable, leading to the city’s collapse into destruction.

Han Yi looked upward, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

He saw that above this massive Dao City, where there was previously nothing, a corner suddenly manifested, resembling a shattered passageway.

Through this broken passage, one could faintly see looming, enormous palaces.

This passage, including the area around the Primordial Demon Sect above it, was originally invisible, hidden within a supreme Array.

But now, it had manifested, indicating that at least a part of the Array had been breached.

Han Yi saw that above the Primordial Demon Dao City, no cultivators guarded the broken passage; instead, cultivators from all directions surged forward, entering it.

The cultivators entering the passage would briefly flicker and then vanish, eerily disappearing.

He watched as one Heavenly Sovereign after another entered the Primordial Demon Sect through the broken passage and felt a similar impulse, his figure flickering toward the passageway.

Han Yi’s thoughts were no different from other Heavenly Sovereigns — he too hoped to obtain cultivation resources.

The troubled Primordial Demon Sect might very well provide him with abundant resources.

As he stepped into the broken passage, his vision suddenly darkened. Then, frighteningly deep murmurs suddenly resounded in his mind, seemingly intent on blinding his Divine Soul and confusing his spiritual essence.
