Chapter 519: Chapter 259: Late-stage Golden Core, Thrilling Immortal Mountain_3

Next,

He swallowed all the remaining spirit fruits.

Two hours later, when he opened his eyes, he felt both ecstasy and a touch of regret.

[Realm: Late-stage Golden Core (5/100)].

The effect of this spirit fruit was so good that if he had two more, Han Yi believed that he could use them to advance his cultivation to a level close to the Golden Core Peak.

However, he shook his head. He had already risked his life and faced great danger to obtain this heaven-defying opportunity. If there were really three spirit fruits, regardless of whether he could survive the Thunder Domain, even if he could escape, he would definitely be besieged by a group. His final end would be dying without a place to be buried due to greed.

Han Yi packed up the Two Instruments Dust Exclusion Array and the Great Mysterious QiankunArray and stood up.

After breaking through to the late-stage Golden Core realm and taking his physical body to a new level, his combat power was several times greater than it had been half a month ago.

Now, fighting against Golden Core Peak cultivators would not be as difficult as before, even without needing an ambush like when he dealt with Horte, the demon cultivator of the Illuminating World.

Even facing a half-step Nascent Soul, he would have the power to battle.

This was Immortal Affinity, and it was a top-tier Immortal Affinity at that. If a Spirit Transformation Expert were to enter, they would definitely seize this Void Thunder Spirit Tree.

No wonder so many people fought desperately for Immortal Affinity; once they obtained it, their progress would soar, and even a complete transformation would not be an exaggeration.

Han Yi flew out of the tower and then took out the Two Realms Jade from the Qiankun Ring, according to Li Dongli. When the time came, the Two Realms Jade would carry them back to the Two Realms Mountain and then return to the Holy Void Valley through the latter.

At the moment, the Two Realms Jade was still emitting faint golden light. The golden light was not strong and far less scorching than it had been in the Holy Void Valley. This indicated that the time had not yet come. Han Yi placed the Two Realms Jade on his person without putting it back into the Qiankun Ring, identified the direction, and flew deeper into the Immortal City.

An hour later, he stopped. A short distance ahead of him lay a black skeleton in a ruins, its ribcage shattered. The height of the skeleton was more than 1,300 meters, similar to the giant skeleton at the seventh city gate.

Ancient Demons.

This was also an Ancient Demon. Moreover, Han Yi had seen these Ancient Demons fighting against human cultivator armies in the spiritual light images left by the cultivator in the demon-slaying inner armor.

The formation of this Fragmented Immortal World must be related to the battles between immortals and demons, if not directly caused by them.

The Ancient Demon skeleton was pitch black. As Han Yi approached, his Ancient God Visualization Method involuntarily activated, but he didn’t pay attention to it. He didn’t try to touch or explore it to see if there was any opportunity, but continued to fly forward.

Half a day later, he encountered another Ancient Demon skeleton.

After three days, the fourth one…

As he delved deeper into the Immortal City, he encountered more Ancient Demon skeletons. The shortest was 1,000 meters, and the tallest was close to 9,000 meters, nearly 10,000 meters high.

However, all the Ancient Demon skeletons had no breath, their bones pitch black, and they harbored some strange danger.

But a question grew stronger in Han Yi’s mind: he had seen Ancient Demon skeletons but had not seen any cultivator corpses subsequently.

What happened to those cultivators who fought the Ancient Demons?

In the spiritual light images he had seen, there were countless small cultivator teams forming legions of varying sizes, confronting the charging Ancient Demons. In that war, many Ancient Demons fell, and the number of dead cultivators was definitely not small either.

Could it be that someone had buried all the dead cultivators?

Han Yi continued to fly deeper inside.

Seven days later, Han Yi stopped. In the distance in front of him was an immensely huge Immortal Mountain. The mountain was over 10,000 meters high, and Han Yi was astonished. Above the mountain, thin mist shrouded it, revealing traces of a magnificent palace.

“Based on what I have seen and heard on this journey, could this Immortal Mountain be the core of the Eternal Rest Immortal City? Is there any trace of real immortals here?”

“Even if it is not the core of this city, it most definitely must be one. Even without immortals, there must at least be half-immortals more powerful than Spirit Transformation Experts.”

This was the Fragmented Immortal World, the existence of half-immortal and even immortal beings would be normal.

Han Yi did not hesitate and flew straight ahead, but became even more vigilant. As he entered within ten miles of the Immortal Mountain, a sudden surge of even more terrifying gravity pulled him down, its strength causing his complexion to change drastically, leaving him powerless.

A moment later,

Boom!

Han Yi, who was dragged forcibly, crashed into the ground. It was fortunate that his flight altitude had not been too high and that his Body Refining Skill had broken through to the Return to the Truth realm. Otherwise, the sudden fall would have been unbearable.

Despite this, the embarrassment was inevitable.

IDHan Yi tried, but within ten miles of the Immortal Mountain, he couldn’t even float, and the strong gravity left him powerless. Han Yi had no choice but to hold the Yuan Yang Sword and fly towards the Immortal Mountain.

Thanks to his powerful physique, after a short while, Han Yi reached the bottom of the Immortal Mountain. There, he saw endless stone steps spreading from the base to the summit. He stepped forward, curiously using the Yuan Yang Sword to gently scratch the steps, but it couldn’t leave a trace.

Han Yi was surprised and tried to cut it harder, causing sparks to fly. Finally, a small trace appeared on the stone steps. However, this faint trace remained for only a moment before it disappeared once again.
