Chapter 29: Chapter 29: The Thin Line Between Life and Death
Translator: 549690339
For the past three years.
Han Yi had visited all eighteen bazaars of the Outer Peak.
Besides these, he often went to the Small Guanhai Peak where the female cultivators were located, and the Little Pan Stone Peak where Zheng Hai lived, which he could say was like a well-trodden path.
Other than these places, he spent most of his time on Little Lingxu Peak and went to the Vermilion Bird Peak once a year to complete his tasks for points.
Although he didn’t actively promote himself, he couldn’t resist the fame that he had gathered, and people often sought him out for private transactions involving pills.
He usually refused such requests.
If the person introducing him was too insistent, he would only trade the minimum amount of pills at a price higher than what was sold on Small Guanhai Peak, on par with the sect’s pricing.
Regardless, due to the high quality of his pills, the number of people seeking him steadily increased.
Han Yi’s mind was preoccupied, and his footsteps didn’t stop as he reached the mountainside of Little Lingxu Peak.
Suddenly.
Boom!!
A huge vibration rang out above, jolting his mind. He unconsciously looked up. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Above his head.
The originally hazy cloud sea, resembling a fairyland-like scene, now vanished. Instead, a pitch-black line, like a rift in the sky, extended from the neighboring Outer Peak, the Little Valley Sword Seal, directly to Little Lingxu Peak.
Rumble!!
The terrifying vibrating sound spread out in all directions from the rift, and at the same time, the sinister black crack seemingly possessed a consciousness, tearing through the defensive formations of Little Lingxu Peak. It appeared to wriggle slowly but actually moved with extreme speed, striking the core of Little Lingxu Peak.
A roar followed.
“Gu Wuheng, have you gone mad?”
The rage-filled voice was from a middle-aged cultivator in his forties.
Han Yi recognized him as the peak master of Little Lingxu Peak, who he had met a few times before – Fan Mo, who had reached the apex of the ninth level of Qi Cultivation.
Spirit Light burst forth from Fan Mo’s hand, pulling the core of Little Lingxu Peak and opposing the sinister black rift.
In the blink of an eye, the Spirit Light shattered, and Fan Mo, who had soared into the sky, fell back to the peak in a sorry state.
“No, Gu Wuheng, have you been possessed by a demon?” freewebnove(l)
“Damn it.”
“Heavenly Demon invasion, all Little Lingxu Peak disciples, escape quickly!”
As soon as the words fell, a golden light emanated from Fan Mo, turning his body into a stream of light which raced out of Little Lingxu Peak and disappeared in the distance.
He had actually abandoned everyone and escaped.
Han Yi, who was situated halfway up the mountain, watched this scene unfold with an indescribable sense of shock in his inner heart.
The next instant, he felt a sudden strike of danger. His face turned pale as an intense sense of crisis surged through his inner heart.
Danger!!
As expected, before he had even made a move, the wriggling black rift in mid-air shattered and dispersed, transforming into sinister black air that descended directly upon the numerous courtyards of Little Lingxu Peak.
Figures rose from the courtyards on their artifacts; they were the stewards of Little Lingxu Peak who had reached the high levels of Qi Cultivation.
However, those who attempted to flee on their artifacts were far weaker than Fan Mo. Barely having taken to the sky, they were enveloped by the sinister black air and fell, screaming in agony. Their breaths vanished, their fates unknown.
Those who were below the high levels of Qi Cultivation and couldn’t take to the sky scrambled to escape in all directions. Some fled downhill, some to the back mountain, and some even thought that the courtyard’s protective formations were still effective – unaware that the core of Little Lingxu Peak had been broken and the formations that relied on the Spirit Veins beneath the peak had already dissolved.
The sinister black air swirled frantically, enveloping Little Lingxu Peak in the blink of an eye.
Devoid of protective formations, the outer sect disciples still in the courtyards were immediately assailed.
In the chaos, wails filled the air.
Han Yi, halfway up the mountain, was drenched in a cold sweat. His soul nearly escaped him as he abandoned everything in the courtyard.
He bolted, pushing his Light Body Technique to the limit, moving even faster than a Sixth Rank Qi Cultivation disciple.
However, he was fast, but the eerie black gas was even faster.
Suddenly, a black gas the size of a fist appeared ten meters away, and then it rushed straight at him.
Han Yi had clearly seen earlier that those high qi cultivation disciples who had flown into the air were accurately hit by this thick black gas.
Although the black gas that came for him was only the size of a fist.
But Han Yi didn’t dare to take it lightly. He even had a feeling that this scene was a matter of life and death.
Without hesitation,
His hands waved frantically, almost forming an afterimage. The Spirit Void Finger was sent out like a torrential downpour.
In an instant, it had woven a tightly knit, layered spiritual light array.
The array pressed forward and collided with the fist-sized black gas.
Boom!!
An explosion occurred at the point of collision, and the terrifying blast sent Han Yi, who had no time to defend, flying more than ten meters. He rolled a few times before coming to a stop.
Han Yi didn’t care about his embarrassment, and looked up at the center of the explosion. When he saw it clearly, his pupils contracted, and goosebumps covered his entire body.
In the center of the explosion, the black gas had not dispersed, but had instead shrunk by half. However, it seemed to be agitated, violently trembling, and was about to pounce on Han Yi once again.
“Damn it, I’m going all out.”
Not minding his awkward posture, Han Yi combined his index and middle fingers. Three hidden daggers from his waist jumped out with a gentle tremble, floating beside him above his head.
Just at this moment,
A terrifying roar came from above his head once again.
Han Yi’s entire mind was focused on the black gas ten meters away, not daring to be distracted at all.
However, with this roar, the black gas that was about to pounce on him again suddenly changed direction and flew into the sky.
It was then that Han Yi looked up.
He saw a cultivator standing in midair above Little Lingxu Peak. The cultivator’s face was unclear, but Han Yi could sense the anger in his voice.
In front of this airborne cultivator, the numerous black gas clusters that had been scattered on the peak’s top before all rose into the air, converging together to form an indistinct-faced, more than three-meter-tall, black giant.
“Bold Heavenly Demon, daring to reveal your true form.”
“Die!!”
The airborne cultivator gently tossed an object, and a device flew out from his palm. It expanded in the wind, transforming into a nine-horned device.
Flames suddenly surged outside the device, forming a fire net that enveloped the black giant.
The black giant spat out thick black gas, but they all dissipated into nothingness under the fire net.
The black giant tried to turn and flee but was not faster than the power of the device.
The device rotated with a clatter, and nine fire dragons emerged from it, trapping the black giant from all directions. The scorching heat of the fire attribute energy burned its body.
A moment later,
The black giant dissipated in midair. The airborne cultivator gathered his device and looked down. His gaze swept over Han Yi, who was staring intently at the sky, without revealing any emotion. Then, he turned and flew towards the Inner Peak.
One horrific event finally came to an end.
Han Yi’s gaze followed the figure of the departing cultivator.
“So strong.”
“Is this person an elder of the Inner Peak, a Golden Core stage cultivator?”
“And the fire attribute device earlier, in fact, wasn’t a device, but an even more powerful treasure?”
Then, his gaze fell back to Little Lingxu Peak. He looked at the heavily damaged Little Lingxu Peak with a somber expression. After looking somber, he sighed inwardly, feeling an intense sense of powerlessness.
“Is this the Heavenly Tribulation?”
For the first time, he realized the harm of the Heavenly Demons, not only their temptation during a breakthrough in realms, but also the more direct harm in front of him – the invasion of Heavenly Demons..
