Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 597 Howling Moon

Li Feng mentioned this matter in the comments, saying that we need to wait here, and guidance will naturally appear.

He didn't say exactly how long it would take. He probably didn't know either.

So Han Yi stopped there, quietly adjusted his breathing, and took the opportunity to inscribe bone patterns into his body.

Although he hasn't decided on his future true form yet, that doesn't stop him from getting familiar with it first.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in Han Yi's heart.

At the bottom of the pool, a glimmer of light seemed to flash and disappear.

Upon closer inspection, a golden light slowly rose from beneath the pool.

The light moved very, very slowly, leaving only specks of golden light in the water behind it, like fireflies.

Finally, the light reached Han Yi's eyes.

Han Yi stared intently at it.

This is a fish. Not an ordinary fish.

This fish has no eyes, its entire body is transparent, and its internal organs and bones are clearly visible. A golden light source emanates from its heart, flashing along with the bubbles.

The strange fish stopped in front of Han Yi, seemingly signaling him to follow.

Han Yi dared not delay, and with a powerful push off the stone wall, he followed.

It felt like we were inside an underwater structure.

The surrounding area consisted of slippery stone walls, winding downwards.

Fortunately, with the guidance of the golden fish, he was able to see his surroundings with its light.

The stone walls are covered with thick green moss, and beneath the moss are murals.

The material of this mural is incredibly magical; it has withstood the pressure and corrosion of underwater water and still retains its color.

The murals depict scenes of humans and monsters living in harmony and helping each other.

Han Yi had no interest in these archaeological histories. He glanced at them briefly and then focused on continuing his journey.

Gradually, the stone walls on both sides became narrower and narrower.

At first, it could accommodate several people to pass together, but gradually, the stone wall narrowed, and even Han Yi, alone, found it somewhat difficult to pass.

But just then, the strange fish suddenly stopped, and in an instant turned into countless golden specks of light, floating away with the current and disappearing.

The moment the strange fish disappeared, the surroundings instantly returned to complete darkness. "?"

Before Han Yi could even understand what was happening, he was already thrown against the stone wall in front of him by inertia.

In the darkness, relying on his sense of touch, Han Yi felt as if he were touching not a hard stone wall, but a huge sponge.

When he opened his eyes again, he was greeted by a bright light and found himself in a cave.

At the cave entrance, a huge white waterfall cascades down, splashing water everywhere.

"This should be the Sacred Beast Secret Realm that Li Feng mentioned..."

Seeing this scene, Han Yi was immediately invigorated.

It seemed as if they had unknowingly entered a secret realm.

Upon arriving at the cave entrance, one can clearly see a wide expanse of river, mountains, forests, and rocky beaches opposite the waterfall.

Between the rocky beach and the mountain forest, there is a grove of trees surrounded by towering, ancient giants.

As Han Yi observed, he matched the map information that Li Feng had described with the map, one by one.

After confirming that everything was alright, he did not hesitate to cross the waterfall and jump down with the current.

In mid-air, Han Yi used the momentum to tap the stone.

boom!

The moment it landed, a huge crater was blasted into the rocky beach.

He slowly emerged from the dust and smoke.

"Indeed, staying in the secret realm feels so much more comfortable than outside..." he exclaimed, taking deep breaths.

Although he couldn't absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the abundant spiritual energy environment within the secret realm still allowed his blood and energy to become active throughout his body.

Once he had recovered somewhat, Han Yi got up, surveyed the surroundings, and prepared to set off. Secret realms are categorized by size, ranging from large to medium.

Li Feng didn't specify the level of the Sacred Beast Realm, but compared to the Hundred Flowers Realm that Han Yi had visited before…

The Sacred Beast Realm is indeed a bit too low.

It seems there's only the waterfall behind me and the grove of trees in front of me.

He estimated that this Sacred Beast Secret Realm was at most a small-scale secret realm.

Soon, Han Yi crossed the rocky beach and arrived at the foot of the woods.

The area is overgrown with weeds, there are no roads at all, and even ordinary bushes are more than a person tall.

Strangely, despite the lush vegetation, there were no poisonous insects or snakes.

Even the calls of ordinary birds, insects, and other animals could not be heard at all.

Han Yi took out the whistle again and activated it with all his might.

An invisible wave rapidly spread into the distance. He waited patiently for a while, but nothing changed.

"Something seems off..."

Gazing at the strange forest before him, Han Yi's eyes flickered for a moment before he finally leaped into it.

He moved swiftly among the tall trees, leaping up and down, constantly darting between the canopy and branches.

Finally, in the middle of the forest, an enormous tree came into his view.

The greatness of this tree lies not in its height, but in its width.

Even a single exposed tree root is as thick as an adult's waist.

The trunk is thick at the base and occupies at least a hundred square meters, almost the size of a yard.

Han Yi squinted and quickly spotted a hole in the middle of the tree trunk.

It was about ten meters high. He bent his knees slightly and jumped up entirely using his physical strength.

After crawling into the tree hole, there was actually a ring of man-made steps inside.

After spiraling upwards for several dozen breaths, a faint blue light appeared ahead.

Han Yi walked toward the place emitting blue light and soon saw a large hall.

It seems that the entire tree trunk has been hollowed out, leaving a spacious and empty interior.

puff!

Han Yi lightly leaped down the steps and landed in the hall.

The floor of this hall was actually paved with bluestone bricks, just like a real hall.

Han Yi carefully looked around.

The hall was very large, with yellowish-brown walls. Although it was inside a tree trunk, it was still five or six meters high, so there was no feeling of being cramped at all.

On the ceiling of the hall, some strange symbols were engraved, and they were now emitting a faint yellow light.

But the most eye-catching feature is the center of the hall, where a bright blue light emanates.

Han Yi moved closer to take a look.

A pool of water suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Blue light is emitted from the pool.

In the middle of the pool, there was a white disc, like an array plate, with a large number of symbols engraved on it.

There was an egg on the disc.

A giant egg, taller than a person, with a pale white surface.

"This thing..." Han Yi couldn't help but move closer to take a look.

The closer you get to the pool, the colder it seems to get.

Fortunately, given his current cold resistance, it wasn't a major problem. The giant egg seemed to be connected to the tree, with countless slender, yellowish-brown branches on its surface connecting to the ceiling of the hall above.

The pool was oval-shaped and filled with a viscous blue liquid.

The shimmering blue water of the pool cast a pale blue hue over the surface of the giant egg.

The giant egg seemed to have its own life, trembling slowly every few breaths, causing the pool water to flow and the light in the entire hall to dim and brighten accordingly.

"It seems to be something like an energy core..." Han Yi suddenly realized something.

Such a large secret realm must be supported by some kind of power to operate, and this giant egg should be one of the core elements.

No wonder Li Feng said that as long as it is destroyed, Fang Jiulian will never be able to find the sacred beast again.

The root of the problem lies here. "But... where did White Fang go..." He frowned.

White Fang is the sacred beast of the Green Robe Alliance, the king of the Ice Wolf clan, the Ice Wolf King.

According to Li Feng, once you enter the Sacred Beast Secret Realm, blowing the jade whistle will naturally awaken the Sacred Beast Howling Moon.

Whether we can gain their trust and take them away is up to fate.

However, after Han Yi entered the Sacred Beast Secret Realm, he found no trace of it at all.

With this question in mind, he began to search his surroundings.

The hall wasn't large, and there wasn't anything messy or cluttered; you could see everything clearly at a glance.

In the end, the only suspicious thing was the pool in the middle.

Han Yi gazed intently at the pool, then slowly walked towards it. One step, two steps, three steps…

Suddenly, he stopped just two steps away from the pool. It wasn't that he wanted to stop, but the hairs on his body stood on end.

His body was acutely aware that if he took just one more step, he would face certain death.

A tingling sensation on the scalp that only occurs when facing a life-or-death crisis was constantly being triggered.

Han Yi could clearly feel countless goosebumps appearing all over his body.

Right in front of him, in the seemingly ordinary air, lay an unimaginable, enormous, and terrifying burst of power.

Han Yi's raised leg paused in mid-air, refusing to fall.

He paused for a moment, calmed himself down, and then took the jade whistle out of his pocket.

According to Li Feng, this kind of secret realm formation represents at least the power of a Venerable level. The Venerable level represents the strongest power in a province. Only top-tier forces like the Yuanmiao Sect possess supreme experts who control an entire province.

Martial arts master, grandmaster, great grandmaster, venerable one.

Perhaps the Grandmaster is just a transitional period between Grandmaster and Venerable, but no matter how you look at it.

There is a gap of several major realms between Han Yi and experts at the Venerable level.

He's not even a grandmaster; he can't possibly resist.

The jade whistle emitted vibrations, as if it had received some kind of permission.

The barrier that had been hindering his progress was suddenly removed, bringing him immense peace of mind.

Upon reaching the pool, Han Yi finally noticed something unusual.

The giant egg is not completely pressed onto the central disc, but rather floats at a certain distance. This distance creates a small space.

What was inside was a pure white expanse.

A small white animal.

It was truly snow-white, from head to toe, all its fur, even its eyebrows, was white.

After examining it for a while, Han Yi realized that the white little beast seemed to be a cub of ice wolf.

However, this ice wolf was very small, only the size of an adult's palm, even smaller than his wolf cub named Little Ha.

Han Yi was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses.

The wolf king, White Fang, was nowhere to be found; all that remained was a little ice wolf cub.

He was somewhat puzzled, but had no idea why.

But this is for the best. If the Wolf King White Fang were still alive, with his lousy animal taming skills, he probably wouldn't have gained nothing.

This little guy is quite good; he can be nurtured from a young age. Han Yi channeled his energy, slowly bent down, extended his strength, and gently pulled the little ice wolf across the pool water.

"He's quite good-looking..." Han Yi smiled, looking at the little guy in his arms.

“I’ll call you…” He hesitated for a moment, “I’ll call you Xiaoyue.”

The poor little guy was still fast asleep when he was forced to change his name again.

Han Yi carefully placed Xiaoyue in his arms, then turned to leave.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.

"I don't know how big the gap is between my current strength and that of true masters, grandmasters, great grandmasters, venerable ones..."

Thinking of this, Han Yi went to the edge of the pond.

Looking at the deep blue water in front of him, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and touched the water.

He stretched out his finger very, very slowly.

The jade whistle is the core of the secret realm's array control; possessing it prevents the array from triggering attacks on its own.

However, this doesn't mean that intentional touching will be harmless. Just like a frying pan, reaching out will inevitably burn your fingers.

The closer Han Yi's index finger got, the more he could feel the icy coldness of the pool water.

With his current physical strength, even just his physical body is at the top level of a martial arts master.

In addition to the protective force of the Cold Yin Energy and the protection of the Black Scales, its true defensive capabilities are not much different from those of a true Grandmaster-level defender.

But when he got close enough to be just two inches above the water, he could no longer feel his index finger.

hiss…...

With a faint freezing sound, Han Yi abruptly withdrew his finger; his index finger was already bluish-white, completely frozen and dehydrated.

Black scales, powerful energy... all defenses were frozen in an instant, losing their effectiveness.

His face darkened, and he quickly activated his Qi and blood, using the cold Yin energy to dispel the chill, causing his deactivated index finger to become full and restored.

After thinking for a moment, Han Yi raised his hand again.

Bang! ! !

He began to let loose, completely letting go of his inhibitions.

A ruthless glint flashed in Han Yi's eyes.

If you want to play, play big.

His strongest form now is the Vajra Body Protection Form, combined with black scales and powerful protective energy.

Although he had never actually fought a Grandmaster, Han Yi guessed, given this change in state, that he might be nearly on par with a Grandmaster.

Layers of black scales were lifelike, tightly wrapped around his entire body, and an invisible force flowed rapidly through his three-meter-tall frame.

And on the outermost layer, a faint golden light began to emerge.

This is his most powerful trump card transformation in his pure Yang state: Vajra Body Protection.

He looked like a golden Arhat, or a demon god from hell.

"I'd like to test how much of a difference there is between me at my full strength and a so-called Grandmaster."

He extended his finger again.

Clang... Clang...

It's like the sound of a machine struggling to turn when it gets stuck.

Three inches, two inches, one inch...

Han Yi slowly probed downwards with his fingers.

The golden light grew thinner and thinner, yet it remained resilient, stubbornly holding on. *Swoosh!*

Ignoring everything else, Han Yi suddenly plunged his fingers into the pool water.
