Chapter 522: Chapter 260: Ancient Corpse Swallows Immortal, Returns to Yu Heng_2

Is this… the ancient corpse from my Qiankun Ring?

Han Yi was dumbfounded. Had the ancient corpse actually been revived here?

His suspicions were confirmed. There was definitely something unusual about this ancient corpse.

Before Han Yi could gather his thoughts any further, the ancient corpse that emerged from his Qiankun Ring into the palace, lightly opened its mouth. An invisible rule spread instantly. Within a hundred meters of the ancient corpse, all the top-grade spirit stones in the cultivators’ Qiankun Rings vanished in an instant. When they reappeared, they were brought to a position just one meter in front of it and were then directly swallowed by the opened mouth.

Han Yi, standing behind the ancient corpse, couldn’t see any of this, but he guessed the ancient corpse was up to something. It wouldn’t have suddenly revealed itself otherwise.

After consuming all the top-grade spirit stones, the ancient corpse’s silver eyes flashed dramatically. It robotically misplaced its skull to an angle and from above its body, a black stone suddenly appeared.

Han Yi recognized the stone and was startled. The stone was the Void Thunder Heart, the one everyone had fought over so fiercely not long ago.

The cultivator who had seized the Void Thunder Heart had also been brought into this palace.

Under Han Yi’s horrified gaze, the ancient corpse opened its mouth and swallowed the Void Thunder Heart directly. As it approached the gaping mouth of the ancient corpse, it gradually became smaller, eventually disappearing inside.

Next, numerous symbols flickered in its silver eyes. Its head turned, and its eyes looked straight into the depths of the palace. A mechanical voice rang out.

“Restart complete.”

“Energy replenishment: 1.78%.”

“Time positioning: Eighth Epoch.”

“Fallen immortals detected. Implementing the 11,176th Ancient Annihilation Plan.”

As the mechanical voice fell, the silver light in its eyes intensified suddenly. The ancient corpse slightly shifted and plunged into the depths of the palace.

Han Yi was taken aback.

The next moment.

Boom!!!

Roars echoed from the depths of the palace, followed by a ground-shaking tremor. A chilling aura shot up to the sky, making Han Yi feel as though he should kneel in worship.

Crack.

The palace suddenly split open, then the entire Immortal Mountain started shaking madly.

As the palace cracked open, Han Yi’s vision returned, all his sensations returned. His physical body, blood essence, magic power, divine soul – everything was within his perception.

No.

Not just him, all the cultivators who had been chained and taken into the palace in the last two to three months had recovered as well.

Run, run, run…

Everyone, without second thoughts, turned and fled. Even the grand cultivators, in this moment, acted like mere mortals. They wished they could grow an extra leg; expressions of horror were painted across their faces.

Han Yi was no exception. He was near the entrance and managed to run the fastest, using every bit of his strength, his flesh and blood fuelling him like a furnace. In an instant, he arrived at the edge of the Immortal Mountain and plunged down, running down the steps. Under the terrifying gravity, his speed soared to its peak.

However.

After he had descended thousands of meters, he noticed cultivators flying away above him. Han Yi soon realized that the gravity of the Immortal Mountain had instantly disappeared. He bent his knees, pushed hard against the ground, and like a cannonball, he shot out and ran wildly.

It took him a full ten breaths before he slowed down, suspended midway in the air, and looked back.

Behind him, tens of kilometers away, the Immortal Mountain was shaking violently and collapsing.

At the peak of the Immortal Mountain, where the palace started to collapse, Han Yi saw several figures with mutilated bodies, who had long since lost any signs of life. These ancient figures, shaking with the palace, rapidly turned into ashes.

The robes of the cultivators resembled the ones obtained by the cultivator with the Demon Slaying armor.

A thought crossed Han Yi’s mind. A flash of light in his eyes revealed that within the palace, the cultivators turning into ashes had their armors and Demon Slaying Swords still intact.

If he could obtain these armors and sword tools and return to the Yu Heng World, then the Xuandan Sect could absolutely leapfrog the three major sects. Not even sacred areas could compete with his wealth.

This was a treasure worth tens of thousands of spiritual treasures.

At this moment, a desire arose within Han Yi.

But the next moment.

Upon the gradually collapsing Immortal Mountain, a twisted, black figure emerged. Its breath was peculiar and distorted. Han Yi shuddered; this breath was familiar. It was similar to the mutated spirit energy he had previously sensed while testing the local spirit energy.

As soon as the grotesque shadow appeared, it let out a roar that sounded inhuman. The entire Immortal Mountain split in the middle, and a huge black scroll floated out from within.

The scroll was enormous. Flying into the air, it unfurled gradually, releasing an overwhelming aura of spiritual treasure that seemed to suppress time and space.

In front of the twisted shadow, a figure dressed in a black robe with silver eyes appeared. It was the ancient corpse from Han Yi’s Qiankun Ring.

No.

It was inappropriate to call it an ancient corpse now.

A word suddenly popped into Han Yi’s mind.

Immortal Puppet.

This was an ancient term referring to humanoid puppets created by immortals using special materials. They would execute certain fixed programs.

The few sentences spoken by this Immortal Puppet had clearly reached Han Yi, which was why he suddenly understood what this ancient corpse actually was.

His previous visit to the mysterious Immortal Mansion via the Suizhu Command Tablet had also introduced him to the Yellow-Turbaned Immortal, who could be called a spirit puppet. Yet, the current silver female cultivation figure was undoubtedly an Immortal Puppet, surpassing the spirit puppet.
