Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 827 Plunder (Part 4)

boom…...

The purplish-black flames burned silently and without ripples, illuminating a small patch of darkness around them.

Han Yi floated quietly in mid-air, his expression calm, without joy or sorrow, as still as a deep well.

Two black knives, tips pointing downwards, crossed and held above the head.

"Come, come! You scum who have lost the meaning of life, instead of spending the rest of your days in pain and sorrow, why not... dedicate your lives to doing something worthwhile, and elevate your souls! So... let this flame... purify everything!"

The twin blades suddenly exploded, countless black dots flying like meteors at incredible speed to all parts of the cave. If the black fire from before had only burned quietly on the stone door...

And this time.

The entire stone chamber burst into flames in an instant, like a torch.

The moment the black dot landed, a point of black light suddenly exploded, followed by intense burning.

The honeycomb-like grotto was filled with black flames, and countless densely packed stone chambers were set ablaze, turning the entire grotto into a black sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye.

The fire intensified and grew brighter.

Suddenly, everything in front of me became bright.

Red runes on the rock face, dark green moss in the corner, white bones scattered on the ground...

But in the blink of an eye...

Everything that could be seen was engulfed by the sea of ​​fire in an instant.

Countless screams and agonizing cries could be faintly heard from within.

Cursing?

curse?

Or is it begging for mercy?

The incomprehensible, chaotic sounds blended together like a grand symphony; nothing could be heard clearly, yet they eerily seeped into the ears.

"Cry, curse, shout... If a main course loses its appetizer dessert... then it loses a great deal of enjoyment!"

Han Yi's eyes were cold, and he remained unmoved.

His body seemed to be set ablaze, with countless plumes of black smoke billowing from it.

Thud...

The lowermost stone chamber, which was the first to be ignited, burned completely, leaving only embers. This caused the upper stone chambers to tilt and fall, crashing heavily into the sea of ​​fire.

boom! ! !

A massive burst of black smoke erupted from the inferno, instantly engulfed by giant, serpentine tongues of flame. Large amounts of black smoke billowed out as the inferno continued to expand and spread.

A series of whooshing sounds rang out.

One stone chamber after another lost its support, and meteorites fell from all sides of the cave, while black flames continued to burn, as if a terrifying rain of fire had descended.

The scene was extremely terrifying.

The falling stone chamber crashed into the sea of ​​fire, causing large swaths of black flames to spread in all directions. The impact created waves of fire and endless black smoke.

The fire, fueled by new flames, grew ever stronger and more intense.

The entire grotto had been transformed into a paradise of flames. "It should... be enough... Destroy everything... plunder everything, you demons... Did you ever imagine this day would come..."

Han Yi slowly raised his arm.

He calmly gazed at the ruins before him, a scene of utter devastation, a wasteland transformed into a black sea of ​​flames, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Chi!

A black flame, enveloping a ball of demonic energy, broke free from the sea of ​​fire and rapidly entered his palm.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!

One, two, three...

Following closely behind were countless streams of black flames that flew up and rushed towards Han Yi in an instant.

Because of their sheer number and speed, they formed pillars of purplish-black fire beneath his feet, continuously seeping into his body.

Within a short period of time, a large amount of black fire separated, and the sea of ​​fire inside the cave visibly shrank in size.

"This feeling..."

Han Yi's eyes were closed, and his eyelids trembled slightly.

It's not that the physical body can't withstand it.

It was just because I was excited.

"That's the feeling!" he roared, and a pure black halberd appeared in his hand.

The halberd appeared somewhat ethereal from beginning to end, as if it were formed entirely from flames.

boom!

Like a whale sucking in its lungs, the remaining black sea of ​​fire on the ground spontaneously rose up, swirling around to form two fiery vortexes that plunged into Han Yi's nostrils.

The black sea of ​​fire disappeared, and the cave slowly fell into darkness again.

Crackling.

A few sparks flew and wisps of smoke rose. Everything before my eyes had changed completely.

Like a honeycomb, all the stone chambers, densely packed together, have completely disappeared.

The entire ground was covered with only scorched black embers.

Han Yi slowly landed on the ground.

Click click...

The black ash that was originally underfoot turned black and hardened again due to the extreme heat, forming chunks of black crystalline substance.

"Is this all the spoils from a single attack that burned at least a thousand demons to death...?"

Han Yi raised his hand and touched his forehead.

At some point, a bead the size of an eyeball, as black as ink and like black jade, appeared on his forehead.

The bead is set precisely in the center of the forehead, giving the impression of an extra third eye.

Han Yi closed his eyes and sensed it. The round beads were composed of nothing other than...

It was the massive black sea of ​​fire that had just been absorbed.

The invisible and intangible flames defied common sense, undergoing extreme compression and condensation, and actually developed into a physical entity.

The black flames continued to burn, creating faint, water-like ripples on the surface of the beads.

And naturally, the power of Han Yi's Asura Fire was further enhanced.

The overall flame temperature has increased significantly compared to the past.

It even caused the temperature radiated from his body to increase several times over.

"Let's give it a name..." Han Yi pondered for a moment. "The essence of the black fire... is actually Asura fire. It can cover everything like a net from heaven to earth..."

He muttered a few words and quickly made a decision.

[Martial Arts]: Heavenly Evolution Seven Transformations Profound Technique (Second Level, Characteristics: Formless Body Transformation, Evolution of Heaven)

[Qi, Blood, and Physical Body - Heaven-Mending Technique]: Liberation of the physical body, Limitless power, and boundless fist strikes.

[Bloodline Spirit Seed - Synesthesia]: Spirit Seed Black Qi, Night's Favorite, Unlimited Blade Works

【Asura - Cultivating Both Internal and External Strengths - Harmony of Yin and Yang】: Asura Qi - Meteor Fire, Celestial Change, Starfall, Netherfire Heavenly Net Pearl

“The Netherfire Heavenly Net Pearl… is just right… If its power is concentrated in one point, it will all erupt…” Han Yi gently pushed the Netherfire Heavenly Net Pearl with a slight force of his fingers.

The jet-black bead slowly sank into the flesh and disappeared.

He himself dared not imagine just how powerful it would be.

hiss...

Standing in one place for too long.

A sticky substance appeared under Han Yi's feet, as if he were sinking into a quagmire.

The ground began to slowly collapse, like magma, with large amounts of viscous soil writhing and spreading at an astonishingly high temperature, merging with everything.

"A good haul. It's a pleasant surprise. My strength... will increase by at least 20%."

Han Yi didn't take it seriously and continued to check the patient's condition, then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The sheer amount of demonic energy absorbed was enough to deduce several martial arts techniques at the same level as the Heavenly Evolution Seven Transformations Mystic Art.

Besides.

The mere improvement in the essence of the Asura Fire alone makes this risky exploration of the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm worthwhile.

A 20% increase, or one-fifth of the power.

It sounds like it's just so-so.

But you must know how terrifying Han Yi's current strength is. A 20% increase in strength is enough to make his normal combat power infinitely close to that of a True Master.

If they were to encounter those two Venerables from Yuanmiao Sect again, Yunmo and Yunxiao...

Even if Han Yi is defeated, at least he won't be in such a sorry state.

"Asura, Asura, since its name is Asura Fire. How can it improve without killing people? That seems to make sense." Han Yi also took this opportunity to discover some key points in cultivation.

"It seems that I was always too kind in my actions before... which actually hindered my breakthrough in strength." He said thoughtfully.

Perseverance, diligence, level of effort...

Han Yi believes he has put in just as much effort as anyone else to improve his own strength.

Except for one thing: he was too kind.

If he were ruthless and merciless, he would have known about the option of increasing his strength through killing long ago. Why would he have waited until now?

Click, click...

boom! ! !

At that moment, the sound of a huge, heavy object landing nearby immediately caught Han Yi's attention.

I looked in the direction of the sound.

The ground, which was originally cracked and broken like a dried-up riverbed, finally succumbed to the scorching flames and burst open layer by layer, widening the gaps and burning through in a flash.

A huge hole was clearly visible below.

"This is..." Han Yi's eyes showed surprise, and a look of interest appeared on his face.

In the faint white mist, the gray-white stone steps appear and disappear, stretching downwards.

Wisps of thin demonic energy continuously emerged from both sides of the stone steps. "The demonic energy that was flowing before must have originated from here..." Han Yi thought to himself, and stepped onto the steps.

Now that the demonic energy here has been almost completely absorbed, there is no point in staying.

Han Yi's figure slowly disappeared into the white mist.

"Come on...come on...face your inner desires...here...you'll find everything you want..."

A series of eerie murmurs, ignoring all obstacles, quietly rang in Han Yi's ears the moment he stepped onto the stairs.

His expression was calm as he steadily stepped out.

The stone steps were very long, stretching downwards as if leading straight to the depths of hell.

I walked along the gray stone steps for who knows how long.

The further down you go, the more powerful the magic array becomes.

It's like slowly walking into a viscous swamp; your blood and qi are suppressed, your true energy is blocked, and even your breathing becomes difficult and slow.

Han Yi slightly adjusted his body, as if he were being suppressed, and his footsteps fell heavily one by one.

In fact, he could break free from this suppression at any time if he wanted, thanks to his powerful physical strength.

but.

Han Yi was unwilling to do so.

Because he could clearly sense that there was a lurking gaze secretly observing him.

This gaze, which it thought was well hidden, was observing him from all angles, leaving no blind spots.

But what the person watching was unaware of was that Han Yi's abnormally sharp senses had long since detected the matter; he simply hadn't revealed it. The stone steps descended precisely from the direction from which the sound had originated.

Da da da…

The crisp, clattering sound of footsteps on the stones suddenly stopped.

Han Yi stopped abruptly, intently observing the massive stone gate before him.

On the massive, grayish-white stone gate, which is over ten meters high, yellow talismans gleam with a yellow light, forming a huge Bagua (Eight Trigrams) symbol along the lines.

In the center of the rune, there was also a huge bronze mirror that was at least several people tall.

The copper coins surrounding the bronze mirror, which appeared to be merely decorative, were now trembling slightly, as if foreshadowing or warning something.

"The demonic energy... is leaking from here?"

Han Yi raised his head and stared intently at the cracks in the bronze mirror, his expression grave. He could feel a continuous stream of demonic energy seeping out from the cracks, rising upwards, and eventually passing through the fissures to reach the upper level—the cave he had just burned to ashes.

"Yuanmiao Sect...it seems...his energy is truly limited..."

Han Yi shook his head, but immediately felt relieved.

Even in the most dangerous core area of ​​the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm, which is sealed off by demons, he has no need to worry about his safety with his strength.

This needs to be considered.

It was still the same caravan from the Myriad Beasts Sect that had not yet left Yunzhou.

The greatest enemy and crisis came from Yuanmiaozong.

But looking at it now...

Emperor Yuan Miaozong had no energy to pay attention to his Yunzhou base camp, which was like his own backyard.

The sealing array that was set up was destroyed and damaged, and it all turned into this state.

Demonic energy leaks out, corroding and mutating...

It's likely that before long, demons will break the seal and escape the secret realm...

In the end, no one came to handle it.

Han Yi did not believe that Yuan Miaozong would be unaware of the situation here.

With so many warning runes, numbering in the tens of thousands, even just one intact rune is enough to send out intelligence.

If Emperor Yuanmiao knew, he would still not take action.

This only shows that the group of people on the three main peaks... have more important things to face and solve.

Choose the lesser of two evils.

Based on the urgency and priority of the matters, their minds were completely focused on other more important issues...

They had no time to pay attention to this place.

If Yuanmiaozong can't even spare the energy to deal with the anomalies in his own core area.

In comparison, what happened at the Myriad Beasts Sect... is utterly insignificant.

If the matter is minor and doesn't attract attention, that's the greatest safety.

“So… I have a little more time now…” Han Yi floated up and gently placed his hands on the center of the bronze mirror.

Click...

A crack suddenly appeared on the stone gate.

The crackling and popping sounds continued.

The bronze mirror, several meters tall, shattered with a crisp sound.

creak...

A crack slowly appeared in the stone gate.

The seemingly endless, tsunami-like demonic energy surged towards Han Yi, enveloping him directly.
