Chapter 878: Chapter 374: The Ancient Illusory Realm, The True Ancient God_1

Daluo Immortal Realm, Dongyu Void.

The massive Abyss Demon Clan member had already disappeared, but its single punch lingered, casting a far-reaching influence that refused to dissipate.

The Dark Moon Sky Nexus, which was originally suspended in the void, had already broken into countless fragments dispersed in various directions.

Among and within these disarrayed pieces were full of severed limbs and shattered bodies.

During this entry into the Dark Moon Sky Nexus, cultivators below the Immortal Level, hailing from seven Immortal Castles and thirty-five Immortal Armies, were present. Each Immortal army had about one hundred thousand cultivators, which meant that the Sky Nexus was populated with approximately 3.5 million cultivators and Immortals.

A single punch from the Abyss Demon Clan had caused close to 80% casualties among these millions of cultivators. 10% of the survivors were high-level cultivators like Half-immortals and Immortals, while the remaining 10% were lucky or highly capable cultivators below the Half-immortal Level.

The surviving cultivators were all silently healing their injuries while awaiting reinforcements. They were scattered across a broad area, making it difficult for them to gather immediately.

But at this very moment.

At a remote corner of this expanded battlefield, an eerily strange scene unfolded. A Half-immortal was chasing a Spirit Transformation expert towards a region with an increasing concentration of fragments.

The Half-immortal at the rear was none other than Dai Zhe, and the Spirit Transformation expert pursued was Han Yi.

However.

Only a few moments passed before Dai Zhe stopped in his tracks, his face pale and drawn.

He had originally planned to creep up on Han Yi unnoticed and control him using his Soul Skill. Once Han Yi became his Soul Slave, not only would the Purple Mysterious Jade Marrow be his, but all of Han Yi’s Immortal Affinity would feed into his power.

Moreover, this method could avoid the punishment mechanism of the Immortal Mansion and dodge the pursuit of the Immortal Castle’s Enforcement Team.

Having trodden his entire Immortal Road with Soul Cultivation Skills, he believed that no matter how profound Han Yi’s background, he wouldn’t be able to resist his Soul Skill.

However.

To his surprise, Han Yi in the void was extremely alert. He noticed Dai Zhe from a great distance and immediately fled, his speed unimaginable. He was only marginally slower than Dai Zhe’s soul escape technique.

Given their speeds, even if Dai Zhe could catch up, he would definitely be noticed by other surviving Half-immortals or even Immortals, making it impossible to wrap things up neatly.

Therefore, he stopped in his tracks and let Han Yi escape.

He still had plenty of time. The Ancient Witchcraft would last for several centuries during which he should be able to find a way to control Han Yi.

On the other hand.

Han Yi had remained silent, escaping without a word. Even though he was slower than Half-immortal Dai Zhe due to the combined use of Mind Realm Divine Technique and the Illusionary Fire Escape, he weighed his options carefully and headed directly towards the area where the storm was yet to abate and fragments were floating in the void.

Only a dozen moments later, he no longer detected Dai Zhe’s trailing aura. However, Han Yi didn’t stop. Instead, he continued to venture deeper until he encountered a rather large Sky Nexus fragment before halting.

Within this fragmented Sky Nexus was a True Immortal and dozens of Half-immortals. Han Yi didn’t recognize the True Immortal, but he was dressed in the Age Candle Immortal Court Immortal robe, likely a leader of an Immortal Army from a nearby Immortal Castle.

After Han Yi approached, he took out his token for verification before joining them.

After him, cultivators from various Immortal Castles kept arriving, taking up residence within this Sky Nexus fragment. Whether they were Half-Immortals, Spirit Transformations, or Nascent Souls, every cultivator had faces etched with shock and relief at having survived.

A moment later, several more Sky Nexus fragments approached, housing several True Immortal level army leaders, hundreds of Half-immortals, and thousands of cultivators below Half-immortal level.

Han Yi’s face lit up with a small smile as he saw Yu Qing, the leader of the Thousand Fierce Immortal Army, and Fan Qiusheng, the leader of the Moon Shadow Spirit Camp. The captain of the seventh team of the Moon Shadow Spirit Camp, Du Ruhu, was not among them. It remained unclear whether he had fallen in battle or just been temporarily separated.

Several True Immortals used their immortal skills to temporarily connect the Sky Nexus fragments together.

Three Chinese hours later.

A Broken Cave Heaven, pieced together by a dozen or so Sky Nexus fragments, saw the congregation of surviving cultivators who had escaped the Dark Moon Sky Nexus.

The Golden Immortal who had triumphed over the Terrace Master did not make an appearance. Only three Profound Immortals returned, using their immortal skills to search the surrounding void and gather the cultivators.

Han Yi hadn’t known in advance how many cultivators had joined the Dark Moon Sky Nexus, but he knew that the number of those who fell far exceeded the cultivators who could still stand in this Broken Cave Heaven.

This was an emergency mission on the Void Battlefield, with a terrifying mortality rate that made the people from the Immortal Castle tremble with fear.

Han Yi briefly glanced at Dai Zhe in the distance, his facial expression unchanged. The latter noticed his gaze, shot him a cold look, and then turned away.

Han Yi noticed another set of eyes on him. He turned to see and met Mu Xiao’s eyes that still held a residue of terror. He nodded but didn’t approach.

Next, within the Broken Cave Heaven, each Immortal Army leader started counting their cultivators. Han Yi was among the Thousand Fierce Immortal Army troops. After glancing at these surviving cultivators, he gained a clearer understanding of the mortality rate of this war.

The Thousand Fierce Immortal Army originally had about a hundred thousand cultivators, but now, only over seventeen thousand gathered under Yu Qing.

That meant a death rate of more than 80%. Among these, a small portion might have been swept too far away by the space storm or directly sucked into the spatial turbulence and disappeared.

No matter how one looked at it, the mortality rate was close to 80%.
