1346 Before the Calamity, Immortal Venerables Were Also Like Ants (2)
The key was that they controlled the rules of life and death and were undying.
For cultivators, this was a genuine opportunity.
Patriarch Tao Ran and Li Mubai and his wife chose to control this path, driven by their own opportunities.
Han Muye nodded, cupped his hands towards below, and retreated into the void.
With this matter settled, he could leave.
Below, a long roar resounded. The seven-headed Dragon Sculpture Beast flew up and held it under his feet.
On the other side, Elder Zhu and Elder Feng also flew to the side.
They were all willing to follow Han Muye out of the infernal river.
As for the others in the intermediate city, some would leave, while others would stay.
Han Muye stepped on the back of the Dragon Sculpture Beast and flew for thousands of miles. Suddenly, his entire body trembled.
In front of him, a towering tree covered the sky.
Sky-reaching tree!
The leaves on the tree trembled and enveloped Han Muye, the seven-headed Dragon Sculpture Beast, and the others!
“Hehe, the final winner of this match is me.”
An old voice sounded.
Han Qi’s body was imprisoned and he could not move at all.
Though his physical and spiritual strength were formidable, his comprehension of the Dao of the world was shallow.
Of course, no matter how profound his cultivation and strength were, it was impossible for him to have the power to move in front of an Immortal Venerable.
At this moment, standing in front of him and Han Muye was a white-bearded old man in a black robe.
The black robe flickered with a dark halo, and there were leaf veins in it.
His narrowed eyes were sparkling as if they contained the divine light of an entire world.
“Sky-reaching Tree,” Han Muye whispered.
If he hadn’t seen the Heaven Ascension Immortal Sovereign and heard his teachings under his seat, Han Muye might have mistaken the old man in front of him for the Heaven Ascension Immortal Sovereign.
Because, except for the color and pattern of their clothing, their appearances were almost identical.
But Han Muye had the inheritance of the Heaven Ascension Immortal Sovereign, so he knew the difference in their powers.
He also had the aura of the person in front of him.
It came from the previous calamity.
The strongest person in the previous calamity who had been defeated.
“The path of destiny has turned into red and purple, and you are truly favored by the heavens,” the old man in the black robe said, smiling.
“Let me think when I started paying attention to you.
“Was it the time with the Grass Whip, perhaps?
“Hehe, your growth has been rapid…”
With a flash of emotion, the old man smiled at Han Muye.
But there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
“You ran rampant in the Immortal Realm, and I watched everything that happened in the Divine Realm.
“Truly, your skills are extraordinary and your courage immense.”
He flicked his fingers lightly, and streams of light appeared.
These lights contained various scenes of Han Muye in Yunlan City and the Immortal Burial City.
It also showed his actions in the Divine Realm when he seized the Five Elements Divine Furnace.
“The Five Elements Divine Furnace is truly a treasure.
“I’m curious how your swordsmanship has improved so rapidly.”
The old man looked curious.
“Furthermore, how did the Demon Luo Clan, which I subjugated back then, come to recognize you as their master?
“They only recognize me, or perhaps the one sealed in the Divine Source Heavenly Palace.”
The old man raised his hand, and gray divine light radiated from his palm, moving toward Han Muye’s forehead.
“To suppress your soul and physical body completely; that’s how I will unravel all of this.”
The divine light penetrated Han Muye’s head and crashed into his divine treasure.
“Buzz!”
Four Five Elements Divine Furnaces appeared and floated around Han Muye.
However, these furnaces were no match for the power of an Immortal Venerable. They were pushed away upon contact.
Then, the bluish-gray power struck deep within Han Muye’s divine treasures.
“Clang—”
A longsword formed from the soul appeared and blocked the green-gray power.
With a flash of sword light, the power was severed.
The old man was stunned, but he was not shocked. Instead, he was delighted.
“Good, as expected, your Sword Dao cultivation is extraordinary. You can already use your Essence Soul as a sword and use the sword to form the Great Dao.”
He reached out and tapped Han Muye between the eyes.
Another green-gray power that was countless times more magnificent than before crashed down.
Han Muye’s body trembled. The Immortal Slaying Sword in his divine treasure couldn’t withstand this power and retreated.
The old man laughed loudly, and all the greenish-gray power turned into a net. In Han Muye’s divine treasure, it shook and wrapped around the Immortal Slaying Sword.
However, before he could take out the Immortal Slaying Sword, a sword light came out of nowhere and shattered all his green-gray power with a flash. Then, it transformed into millions of Daos and suppressed him.
Immortal Trapping Sword!
The old man’s connection with the green-gray aura in Han Muye’s divine treasure was cut off and he was stunned for a moment.
“Good, good!”
He burst into laughter and looked at Han Muye. “I didn’t expect you to have such abilities.”
“Although my power cannot coexist with this calamity and cannot condense into a rule, it’s not something a junior like you can suppress.
“Only a rule can suppress a rule.”
He smiled and reached out for the third time.
However, just as his hand reached out, it stopped in midair.
In front of him, bluish-gray energy, completely identical to his own, shimmered on Han Muye’s body.
Han Muye had assimilated his power!
“Assimilating the power of an Immortal Venerable?” The old man’s face revealed a hint of complexity as he looked at the bluish-gray aura on Han Muye’s body.
“If I had met such talented individuals during the previous calamity, I would have surely nurtured them.
“Unfortunately, my power cannot coexist with this calamity, and I have no interest in painstakingly cultivating disciples.”
He didn’t pause any longer and pressed down toward Han Muye’s forehead.
“Buzz!”
Han Muye raised his hand and blocked the old man’s palm with two fingers.
“Kid, you’ll never understand the might of an Immortal Venerable, or what ‘rule’ truly means!”
