Chapter 582: 554
Returning to the present, the people of Village Kang suffered grim losses and were heavily wounded.
In the shadows, Si watched with eyes seething with rage.
He never expected that Han Yi could actually summon fire from the heavens like a divine being.
Not only had his plan to kill Han Yi failed, but Zhuo Village—the place he’d grown up and loved—was nearly destroyed in the ensuing calamity.
Many familiar faces had become charred, broken corpses.
Fury, jealousy, resentment…
All these emotions surged in Si’s heart, finally converging into one voice.
“Kill him! Kill him!”
In the vast night, Han Yi had vanished without a trace.
But having served as high priest for decades, Si’s method of communicating with the deities wasn’t false.
Though Han Yi’s fluctuations differed from the deity he worshipped, Si followed the slight remnant fluctuations in the air and eventually caught up with Han Yi.
“Die! So-called deities have no place on this planet!”
With a frightful expression, Si expressed the words he’d been suppressing.
As he chanted, Han Yi was shocked to see the wind was constantly gathering in Si’s hand.
In the blink of an eye, after being compacted to the extreme, it shot out towards Han Yi.
“So this is another way to use Heaven’s Fortune?”
Han Yi was both shocked and thrilled.
Even though another wound had been carved into him, Han Yi’s eyes became increasingly bright.
While dodging, he sensed and learned from Si’s method of controlling the Wind Blade.
Not until he was soaked in blood and barely hanging on did he successfully perform it.
With the first summoning, the color of his Wind Blade was even deeper than the one Si used.
Its momentum was even more immense.
While slashing through the air, it shattered Si’s Wind Blade and carried on with undiminished force.
Before the astonished and unwilling look in Si’s eyes, it pierced his body, accomplishing a counter kill.
Wounded all over, Han Yi let out a breath of relief and fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, he found that all his wounds had healed overnight.
Unable to figure out the reason, Han Yi didn’t delve into it.
He continued to flee into the uninhabited Wilderness.
But soon, he found troops searching for him everywhere.
The spectacle of the meteor shower the night before was simply too spectacular.
The destruction of one village and severe damage to another could not be concealed.
Therefore, rumors of the “descent of a deity” quickly spread throughout the Wilderness.
IRegardless of whether Han Yi’s deity status was real or fake.
His ability to control the weather and rain meteors from the sky was too real to deny.
If they could control him, they could unify the Wilderness in terms of both principles and power, making it no longer a dream.
In order to achieve the “Emperor” dream, almost every tribe started to hunt Han Yi.
And the pure human appearance in the Wilderness, full of Demonic Beasts, was too conspicuous.
Impossible to hide.
In order to save his own life, Han Yi had to keep fleeing in a pathetic way.
Fortunately, he was protected by Heaven’s Fortune and had a keen sense of danger.
Moreover, since his battle with Si, Han Yi had understood the Gale Force Technique in addition to the Wind Blade.
Though it was not as fast as the Flying Technique of the cultivators, it was much faster than simply walking.
Therefore, although Han Yi looked miserable while being hunted, he was not caught.
—————–
“Wind, water, fire, thunder…”
“They are all parts of the world. With Heaven’s Fortune, I can take control of these energies. Killing the enemy is no problem.”
“According to the ‘Fate Scripture of Heaven,’ the earliest cultivators appeared to be like this. They prayed for the Tiandao Authority, manipulating all things.”
“At that time, they seemed to call themselves ‘Practitioners.'”
Accustomed to hiding, Han Yi was continuously wandering in the Wilderness, not knowing how much time had passed.
One day, lying in a freshly dug cave, Han Yi muttered to himself.
A weak flame danced on his fingertip, illuminating the dark space around him.
Even if there was no Spiritual Energy in this world, he had achieved what only a cultivator could do.
“If I can fully integrate the broken Heaven’s Fortune of this world, then the power I display here would be equal to the Immortal Sovereign in the Xuanhuang World, right?”
A glimmer of longing crossed his eyes, and Han Yi, who was reigniting his hopes for the future, suddenly felt a slight tremor in the ground.
“Thump!”
“Thump!”
The thunder-like footsteps came from a distance, getting louder and getting closer.
Han Yi’s face changed slightly, and a sense of crisis surged in his heart like a tide.
Inside his muttered curse, Han Yi burst out from the earth, quickly judged the direction, and ran away using the Gale Force Technique.
Behind him, a large White Elephant pursued unyieldingly.
The White Elephant was massive, but its speed was not slow at all.
Ignoring all obstacles on the way, it ran towards Han Yi with four legs galloping.
Han Yi used the Gale Force Technique to its extreme, but still could not run away from the White Elephant.
Their chase attracted the attention of the Demonic Beasts around.
They quickly spotted Han Yi’s figure and joined in the hunt.
The number of beasts hunting Han Yi continued to grow, and the area he could move around in continued to shrink.
Feeling cornered, a ruthless glint shone in Han Yi’s eyes.
The Heaven’s Fortune he had absorbed during this period had reached a substantial level.
If it exploded all at once, it could cause a disaster of earth-shattering proportions, burying all these damn creatures.
But if it does, all his efforts would end up wasted, and he would also suffer backlash and severe injuries.
Just when Han Yi was slightly hesitant, he suddenly felt a weak fluctuation of Spiritual Energy around him.
Even though it was weak, Han Yi, who had not been nourished by Spiritual Energy for a long time, wouldn’t mistake it.
The presence of Spiritual Energy meant that magic could be used.
Even the weakest Energy Refining Stage Techniques were incomparable to these Demonic Beasts that relied on physical strength!
Greatly pleased, Han Yi immediately dashed towards the direction sensed by the Spiritual Energy.
He eventually stopped in a deep ravine.
“Is this…”
Feeling the strands of Spiritual Energy below that were flowing yet halting outside the ravine, Han Yi was overjoyed.
“This seems to be the passage to the Xuanhuang World?”
Ever since arriving in this Small World, Han Yi had been continuously thinking about returning to the Xuanhuang World.
But he searched around Zhuo Village and could not find the passage he had taken to get here.
This Small World was quite vast, and with his alone, finding the way back was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Han Yi didn’t expect that in this desperate situation, he would accidentally find the way back.
“Indeed, the heavens are on my side!”
Han Yi looked back at the horde of Demonic Beasts rushing to catch up.
He snorted in his heart: “Wait until I return to practice to success, make sufficient preparations, and then return to square off with you lot!”
With that, Han Yi jumped into the ravine below.
