Chapter 508: Chapter 256: Slaying Demons Inner Armor, Immortal and Demonic War
Eternal Rest Immortal City.
Li Dongli and Han Yi looked around with intense shock on their faces because as soon as they stepped into the city, they saw a terrifying sight.
In front of them, there was a huge skeleton, kneeling on one knee, but the skull on the neck of the skeleton had flown away.
This was a headless skeleton, incredibly huge, as if an ancient giant had knelt down. The height of the kneeling skeleton was already a thousand meters. Han Yi estimated that if the owner of this skeleton was still alive, standing up, he would be almost three thousand meters tall.
What kind of race can reach a height of three thousand meters? Could it be the ancient giant clan or the Ancient Demon Clan?
In the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, the Ancient Demon Clan Han Yi had seen only stood up to nine meters tall. But those were captive ones, the Ancient Demons that didn’t surpass the Qi Cultivation Stage. He had seen in some records that when Ancient Demons reach the realm of True Monarch, Spirit Transformation, or even half-immortal above Spirit Transformation, their bodies grow increasingly massive. It is not impossible to reach three thousand meters.
Han Yi’s first thought was that this should, at least, be a True Monarch, or even a Spirit Transformation Ancient Demon.
However, what surprised Han Yi was that this massive skeleton did not emit any aura. This was very strange because even a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage would have a unique aura once they began their cultivation journey. With the improvement of the realm, the aura should be stronger.
Like True Monarchs or Spirit Transformations, for example, the True Monarchs and Spirit Transformation experts that Han Yi had seen in the demon cave of Shu Du, each had a formidable and vast aura. Even if they were dead, the aura emitted from their bodies was the same.
For instance, in Yu State Immortal City, a golden immortal bone from Immortal Bone Cliff had a terrifying aura. It was clearly a rare treasure that had attracted True Monarchs and Spirit Transformation experts to compete for it.
But in front of them, this giant skeleton kneeling on one knee, its whole body black, had no aura.
Han Yi didn’t dare to arbitrarily use the Qi Observation Skill. This kind of skill, like divine consciousness, could probe information, but if it encountered some strange things, it was easy to get backlash.
“This should be the skeleton of an Ancient Demon. Judging by the stature, it should be at the Spirit Transformation stage.”
“If it is a half-immortal Ancient Demon, the body would have to be at least ten thousand meters, not just two to three thousand meters.”
“However, this skeleton, with no aura at all, has been kneeling here for I don’t know how many tens of thousands of years. As soon as you touch it lightly, it will turn into dust. It isn’t at all odd, let alone a chance encounter.”
Li Dongli, who was standing beside him, explained in a low voice, then he cupped his hands towards Han Yi.
“Daoist Han, the Immortal Affinity is ahead, let’s part ways here.”
Then he quickly headed to the deeper part of the Immortal City.
Han Yi also cupped his hands, without hindering him. Just now Li Dongli had intervened at the city gate, which was mutual aid among the cultivators of the human clan in Yu Heng World. Once they entered the Immortal City and didn’t see any demon cultivators, they would spread out and search for treasure on their own.
If they’re still together and encounter some precious spiritual items that would drive both of them crazy, it will inevitably lead to disagreements or even hostility.
So, it is advisable to split up early, and Han Yi also knew this.
After Li Dongli left, Han Yi did not leave so quickly, but was circling this headless skeleton that was kneeling inside the city gate, his heart thoughtful.
He didn’t want to leave because at this moment, a technique in his body had started to operate automatically.
The Ancient God Visualization Method.
The skeleton in front of him was said to be an Ancient Demon by Li Dongli, but the technique he practiced was of the Ancient Gods.
Could it really be as rumored, that Ancient Demons and Ancient Gods share the same origin?
Although Han Yi was thoughtful, out of caution, he didn’t approach the giant skeleton. After waiting for a moment, he finally decided to shake his head resolutely and turned to dive into the Immortal City.
This skeleton of the Ancient Demon, as Li Dongli said, was already rotten to the core. With a slight touch, it would turn into dust. However, Han Yi still left some caution and didn’t make contact with it for fear of triggering a bad response.
Han Yi, who was walking inside, first flew up. Although the gravity was terrifying, he still flew hundreds of meters high and looked into the inner part of the Immortal City.
Inside the Immortal City, after the headless kneelingskeleton, there were a series of continuous buildings, tall and short. The tall ones were about a thousand meters high and the short ones were just a few meters high residential buildings.
In the distance, some tens of kilometers away, there were also some Immortal Mountains and palaces.
In the distance, Han Yi couldn’t see it, nor dared to disperse his divine consciousness, so he temporarily couldn’t perceive it.
Where he could see, all the buildings, Immortal Mountains, palaces, and lofts were in a semi-abandoned state. Ninety-nine percent of them had already collapsed completely due to the erosion of time over the long years. Only a few buildings, made with some incredible materials, had only partially collapsed and retained a part after withstanding the long years. There were only a tiny number of extremely rare palaces that were perfectly preserved.
After this piece of the Immortal Realm fragmented into the Fragmented Immortal World, this Immortal City didn’t die instantly, but gradually succumbed and became desolate after struggling for a long time, turning into the quiet and uninhabited state it is now.
Across a few tens of kilometers, Han Yi saw several familiar figures. Among them, there was one who was in fact the demon cultivator who had tried to kill him at the city gate earlier. The rest were cultivators he had met in the Holy Void Valley. Apart from these, he hadn’t seen the faces of the majority of people.
A chill ran down Han Yi’s spine.
According to Li Dongli, this Immortal City was the place where the cultivators of Beidou Region arrived after the transport from the Two Realms Mountain this time.
Although the cultivators of Beidou Region had landed with some deviations, it wasn’t too far off. Some people fell inside the Immortal City, some fell outside. Those who fell outside the city were not closest to the same entrance.
