The Ancient Sovereign

0Han Yan's voice came at the same time, the Deicide Sword flashed with light, and the Qi released by it suddenly became much larger. If one felt it carefully, they would discover that on top of the sword's domineering aura, there was also a soul-shaking aura. This aura was precisely that of killing intent. This kind of aura could only appear when one possessed a strong level of killing intent. However, this aura was different, as it was much thicker than normal killing intent.    

    

The Deicide Sword moved, out of Ba Te's control, and returned in front of Han Yan.    

    

Ba Te's eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief. He looked at his palm, and saw a red streak of blood clearly, fresh from his body. Seeing this, Ba Te gave a furious roar: "Very good, it's been a long time since someone has been able to harm me, and the person who has injured me twice in a row, you're the first." At this point, he changed the subject and said in a dense tone, "However, you are also the last one."    

    

Ba Te quickly formed a seal with his hands, and an extremely large Qi was released from his body, flying straight to the pagoda above his head. The pagoda shone brightly, releasing a terrifying aura. This aura contained a Power of the Heavens and the Earth. It was obviously a Spirit Transformation technique. When the aura on the pagoda grew strong to a certain degree, Ba Te changed the hand seals once again. The pagoda quickly grew at an alarming rate, and in the blink of an eye, it was over thirty meters tall.    

    

Under Ba Te's control, the gigantic pagoda shot up into the sky, reaching Han Yan's head, and then descended quickly.    

    

Han Yan's eyes became gloomy, with a thought, the Deicide Sword went straight to the pagoda.    

    

Inside the sword, the killing intent and the domineering aura were extremely dense, and there was a faint feeling of them fusing together.    

    

Ba Te coldly snorted, and said, "Brat, I didn't think that your comprehension ability had actually reached such a level. In the past ten years of the human world, you have actually comprehended two. Tyrant and Death Dao were both the most powerful existences in the cultivation world, but you had just reached the Small Success Realm and had yet to form your Killing Path. "If you merge two of them together, I will still fear three points from you. But now that you have injured me, I must die …"    

    

The last word was death, and it contained Ba Te's dao — — The Way of Destruction.    

    

Under the Way of Destruction, his voice turned into an invisible attack right at Han Yan.    

    

Han Yan's face darkened, he raised his Dao Soul Extinguishing Finger and flew straight towards the sound wave. The moment the two clashed, the sound wave did not dissipate, but the Soul-Destructing Finger did. Han Yan's figure shook, a look of horror flashed past his eyes, and he once again raised his right hand, continuing to use Soul-Destructing Finger.    

    

Ba Te's eyes were filled with disdain, he snorted and said: "You want to destroy my primordial roar with a single finger technique?" However, just as he finished speaking, he saw Han Yan spitting out a divine intent. The moment the divine sense appeared, it merged with the Soul-Destructing Finger and formed an even more powerful spell — — Sky-Destructing Finger.    

    

Once the Sky-Destructing Finger was released, the sky darkened and the earth darkened.    

    

The disdain in Ba Te's eyes disappeared, and became extremely surprised as he asked: "What spell is this?"    

    

In a flash, the Sky-Destructing Finger arrived in front of the sound wave and destroyed it. In the next moment, the Sky-Destructing Finger did not slow down at all and went straight for Ba Te.    

    

Sensing that the finger technique did not only contain a soul destroying aura, but also a sliver of heaven and earth, Ba Te did not dare to be careless. He patted the storage bag on his waist and took out a wooden sculpture. The shape of the wood carving was very strange. It was a child around five or six years old. This kind of child, yet was releasing such a terrifying Qi, the moment the Sky-Destructing Finger touched it, it immediately scattered.    

    

Ba Te gave a cold snort, and said: "You are the first person to make me take out this wooden sculpture, you must pay the price."    

    

Although there were no changes to the wooden sculpture, its aura was clearly much dimmer.    

    

Han Yan could tell that this wooden sculpture was the same as the porcelain he had refined, a type of magical equipment. Furthermore, every time he used it, its power would weaken. From the wooden sculpture, Han Yan sensed a huge thought, a hint of comprehension towards the heaven and earth. It could be seen how powerful the person who carved this wood carving was. At least in the Deity Stage, it had surpassed the Soul Formation stage and had reached an unimaginable level.    

    

At the same time, the pagoda descended.    

    

The moment the Deicide Sword touched the pagoda, it was repelled by the energy released from it. Although the speed of the pagoda's descent was slightly slower, it did not have much of an impact. The pagoda got closer and closer, and when it was about to fall, Han Yan was helpless. His body was tightly locked by Ba Te and was incapable of moving.    

    

Han Yan's gaze turned serious, and he was just about to summon his Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal. The Xiao Hui on his shoulder suddenly flashed and then floated in the air. It opened its mouth and released a huge suction force, wanting to forcibly swallow the pagoda into its body. However, the energy emitted by the pagoda was too strong. No matter how the Xiao Hui devoured it, it was unable to devour it into its body.    

    

Not only that, there was a flash of light on the pagoda, and a golden sword shot out, flying straight towards the Xiao Hui's mouth.    

    

The golden small sword's speed was astonishingly fast, and in a flash, it arrived in front of the Xiao Hui. The Xiao Hui simply did not have enough time to react and could only watch helplessly as it flew into its mouth. The moment it flew in, the Xiao Hui's body trembled as if it had been electrocuted, and then it spat out a mouthful of blood.    

    

However, at this moment, the pagoda had also arrived in front of the Xiao Hui and was about to trap it within.    

    

The Xiao Hui was heavily injured, and had no time to dodge at all. The instant it was enveloped by the pagoda. Suddenly, a ray of light flashed, and Han Yan suddenly appeared in front of it, grabbing it in his hand. The moment he grabbed onto her, Han Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face became pale. It was obvious that in order to use a technique to save the Xiao Hui, he had forcefully broken Ba Te's spiritual sense lock and suffered light injuries.    

    

Han Yan didn't have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, he suddenly slapped the storage bag on his waist and took it out.    

    

With the Imperial Jade Seal in hand, it instantly turned into a shield and blocked in front of Han Yan.    

    

In the next moment, the pagoda landed on the shield and a loud sound rang out. The pagoda was rebounded back by the huge force released from the shield and flew into the sky. The pagoda had only flown for a few hundred meters, yet Ba Te forced it to a stop. He stared at the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal for a long time before saying in shock, "To think that you actually have such a strong Archaic Dharma treasure. However, since this sovereign has met with you today, then give it to this sovereign to use! "    

    

After saying that, Ba Te raised the wooden sculpture in his hand and suddenly threw it towards Han Yan.    

    

The wooden sculpture drew an arc in the air and flew straight towards Han Yan, releasing a destructive aura from the wooden sculpture. Not only could this wooden sculpture defend against it, it could also be used to attack. The energy contained within the wooden sculpture was too enormous, causing the surrounding space to become distorted. If the wooden sculpture truly landed on Han Yan's body, there was no way Han Yan could survive.    

    

Facing the incoming wooden sculpture, Han Yan did not hesitate, and immediately raised the shield in his hand to welcome it.    

    

Ba Te's brows twitched as he said in shock: "Could he be courting death? He knows full well that he's no match for the wooden sculpture, yet he still went up to welcome him. Isn't this using an egg to hit a rock?"    

    

Even though the Xiao Hui was heavily injured, its divine sense was still there. Seeing Han Yan's near crazed actions, it laughed bitterly: "Boss, what are you doing? Even if we're not his match, there's no need to act this way!" It felt that Han Yan doing this was no different from courting death. The wooden sculpture was so powerful that the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal could not defend against it at all.    

    

As expected, the moment the wooden sculpture landed on the shield, a loud sound was heard. Cracks appeared on the shield, and the cracks expanded at an alarming speed, covering the entire shield in the blink of an eye. Then, with a "pa da" sound, the shield broke and turned into the shape of a Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal. At this moment, the wooden sculpture did not slow down at all and was rushing straight towards Han Yan, about to crash onto his chest.    

    

Han Yan did not dodge. Instead, he stretched his arm forward and grabbed the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal in his hands.    

    

In the next moment, the wooden sculpture landed in front of Han Yan's chest, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard. Han Yan's body flew out backwards. His chest was a mess of flesh and blood, and blood was gushing out rapidly. His aura was so weak that it was almost inaudible, as if it would dissipate at any moment. However, what was unbelievable was that Han Yan's eyes were abnormally bright, like the stars in the night sky.    

    

Ba Te's wrist reached out and grabbed the wooden sculpture. When he saw Han Yan's gaze, he could not help but frown, and thought to himself: "Could it be that he has other treasures?" He truly could not imagine, when a cultivator's injuries were so severe that they were on the verge of death, what kind of treasure could instantly heal him? Even if there was such a treasure, it couldn't be completed under his eyelids.    

    

Thinking up to here, Ba Te laughed coldly and said: "I want to see what kind of treasures you have."    

    

As Han Yan flew backwards, he took out a large amount of spirit liquid from the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal and swallowed it. Although the spirit liquid could not recover from his injuries, it could recover his spirit energy, and the spirit force in Han Yan's body immediately recovered to its peak state. He held the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal tightly in his hands, and fresh blood quickly flowed down from his arm, landing on the Imperial Jade Seal. The pure white Imperial Jade Seal was instantly dyed red, which was extremely shocking.    

    

Ba Te's eyes lit up as he said ecstatically, "There's actually more spirit liquid inside the Imperial Jade Seal, haha …"    

    

Spirit liquids were extremely precious, not only were they useful to the low-level cultivator, they were extremely useful to the latter as well. Under normal circumstances, there were only three ways to quickly recover spirit energy. The first way was to use Pill s to recover spirit energy, the second way was to absorb the spirit energy from the Spirit Stone and transform it into spirit energy, and the third way was to swallow spirit liquid.    

    

A single drop of spirit liquid was enough to instantly restore the Expert of Spirit Transformation Stage's spirit energy. Even the Expert of Spirit Transformation Stage would not have many treasures like this.    

    

The moment that his spirit energy recovered, Han Yan quickly formed hand seals with both of his hands. With every movement he made a few times, a seal would be formed. As the seals increased in number and density, Han Yan's hand movements became faster and faster. Han Yan bellowed, all the Spirit Qi in his body was suddenly released, and entered the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal s.    

    

At the same time, a stream of light flashed on the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal, releasing a huge wave of Qi.    

    

Han Yan's eyes were blood-red. If one looked carefully, they could see a hint of excitement in his eyes.    

    

The Xiao Hui suddenly thought of something, and her face looked surprised, as she thought to herself: "Could it be that boss has gathered all the Imperial Jade Seal?" It knew the relationship between Imperial Jade Seal and other Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal, and also knew that once all of the Imperial Jade Seal were gathered, they would be able to activate a new ability.    

    

At this moment, sensing that the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal's aura was getting stronger and stronger, the Xiao Hui was extremely excited and wished that it could find out what the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal's next sacred art was.    

    

Inside the Heavenly Dao Imperial Jade Seal, a huge amount of energy was released and spread to the surroundings. At this moment, the heaven and earth began to tremble, as if they could feel the power of this energy. The immense energy continued to spread out, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire Golden Crow Immortal Mountain. Anyone who sensed this energy would feel fear in their heart and be unable to resist.    

    

Ba Te's eyes were wide open, filled with shock, and he cried out involuntarily: "What kind of spell is this, how can it be powerful to this extent?" Although his cultivation had dropped, he was still a Expert of Spirit Transformation Stage, and his eyesight was still strong. Ba Te could immediately tell that the technique Han Yan was using was extremely powerful, and if he were to really use it, he would not be Han Yan's match. Even if he were to use the wooden sculpture, the chances of survival were very slim.    

    

Han Yan's hands quickly formed seals, and after the seals were completed, he suddenly bellowed, "Open!"
