Chapter 520: Chapter 259: Late-stage Golden Core, Thrilling Immortal Mountain_4

Han Yi’s face was filled with shock.

The material of these bluestone steps, even relying on this Immortal Mountain, was definitely extraordinary. It was at least used for refining magic treasures, and it must be high-level treasure materials.

He gripped his sword with both hands, his whole body shimmering with golden light. It was clear that he had used his Body Refining Skill as well, injecting tremendous force into his Yuan Yang Sword and slashing downwards.

In the next instant.

A counter-shock force was transmitted, sending Han Yi flying dozens of meters back. Were it not for his mastery of Body Refining, any other late-stage Golden Core cultivator would have suffered severe bodily injuries from this attack.

Han Yi walked forward again and saw a small notch on the bluestone step. This notch did not heal itself. The near full-force attack he had launched earlier had caused only this small notch on the step, making Han Yi even more in awe and expectant of this Immortal Mountain.

Since he couldn’t pry the bluestone away, he wouldn’t try again. He put away his Yuan Yang Sword and sprinted towards the summit as quickly as possible.

With his speed, even under the terrifying gravity of this place, he was only slightly slower than flying. In less than three minutes, he had completely crossed the ten-thousand-meter Immortal Mountain.

After crossing the last step, Han Yi rushed to the top of the Immortal Mountain and saw a huge, deep palace in front of him. On either side of this massive palace, there were many other large palaces.

Moreover, these were well-preserved palaces that were undamaged.

With just a swift glance, Han Yi quickly moved to the side, creating a gap of several hundred meters, and then he turned and looked at the place where he had just climbed the mountain. Within less than ten breaths, another cultivator had rushed up to the same spot where he had been a moment ago.

This was the reason why he had moved sideways. Just before he reached the top of the Immortal Mountain, Han Yi had noticed this cultivator who was rushing towards him from the foot of the mountain.

Upon recognizing Han Yi, the cultivator paid no attention to him and headed straight for the palace in front of him, moving even faster than Han Yi.

Han Yi remained vigilant against this man, as he recognized him from the battle for the Void Thunder Spirit Fruits a while ago. The man was a cultivator and exuded a power surpassing the Golden Core Peak, making him a True Monarch cultivator.

Furthermore, Han Yi hadn’t seen this person in the Holy Void Valley, which meant that he should have been a True Monarch within the Cultivation World of some other Beidou Region.

However, even a True Monarch cultivator could not fly within the scope of the Immortal Mountain and had to walk up the mountain like a Golden Core cultivator.

Han Yi moved aside to make way for this person to avoid direct conflict. The Immortal Mountain was large enough for him to explore, and there was no need to make enemies from the very beginning.

As the True Monarch cultivator approached the nearest palace.

Suddenly.

An illusory figure flew out of the palace. The figure was distorted, and its face could not be seen. In its hands, it held a chain that was also illusory and seemed to stretch out from within the palace. The chain made a rustling sound as it trailed through the void.

Then, the figure threw the chain lightly, and it directly penetrated the True Monarch, who had no time to react.

In an instant, as the True Monarch prepared to summon a magic treasure to launch an attack, he suddenly froze, as if someone had pressed the pause button on him.

Next, the illusory figure holding the middle of the chain gently shook it, and the True Monarch cancelled all of his attacks, letting his arms fall limply to his sides. He looked like a marionette as the illusory figure pulled him into the palace.

The massive palace doors that had been closed before briefly opened.

Hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of people, and among them were many wearing the uniforms of Demon Punishment teams Han Yi had seen in the spirit light painting before.

At the entrance of the palace, there were also dozens of figures standing still and lifeless, as if they were puppets, standing silent.

Among them.

He even saw the two True Monarchs he had encountered near the Void Thunder Spirit Tree, along with many Golden Core Peaks, half-step True Monarch cultivators, and even the familiar Li Dongli of the Tai Xu Sect.

This scene sent chills down Han Yi’s spine, feeling an icy coldness travel from his feet up his spine to the back of his head, making his entire body shiver in fear.

Driven by pure instinctual terror, Han Yi turned and fled, running down the mountain.

Behind him, a chain was already chasing him through the void.
