Chapter 1959: Chapter 864: The Essence of Boundary Power, Glimpsing the Truth

The black stream of energy that escaped from the Central Palace of the Primordial Demon Sect swiftly entered Han Yi’s body like a bolt of lightning, causing his complexion to drastically change.

This incident happened extremely fast.

This black stream of energy seemed to possess a mind of its own, suddenly accelerating without giving Han Yi any time to react. Even his Chaos Divine Armor couldn’t block this stream, as it instantly penetrated his body.

Han Yi tensed up, for he did not wish to be suddenly possessed by demons and perish in confusion here.

Just as he was tracking this bizarre black stream of energy that had entered his body with his Divine Thoughts, he suddenly discovered that the stream seemed to have encountered something within his body and abruptly disappeared.

No.

It wasn’t an incident, but rather it seemed as though it was absorbed.

Han Yi’s expression shifted as he activated his interface; the interface sealed by the Great Elder of the Taichu Divine Race with the yin-yang black and white essence. Normally, unless he deliberately summoned it, no change notification would manifest.

When Han Yi looked at his interface, a light red text appeared before his eyes.

[Boundary Power Absorption in Progress, 12874 points collected].

Han Yi was suddenly shocked.

“This black stream of energy is Boundary Power?”

In the past, when Han Yi absorbed Boundary Power, it was always directly from the surroundings, whether it was the Xi Skill Chaos Realm or the Returning Ruins, without any medium. He could absorb Boundary Power just by being in those environments.

However, this time, the absorption process was completely different from before; it involved a tangible, visible medium.

Furthermore, the amount of Boundary Power absorbed this time reached over twelve thousand points, which was substantial. Not long ago, in the Returning Ruins, he had only collected just over twenty thousand points after moving through two different spots. The mere black stream from just moments ago was equivalent to half of what he gathered from the Returning Ruins.

At the same time, a puzzling thought emerged in his heart.

“What exactly is this Boundary Power?”

With his thoughts swirling, he did not stop but instead turned to look in the direction of the Central Palace, restraining himself from directly looking at the palace, merely checking if any more black streams were present in that direction.

After confirming that no second black stream appeared, Han Yi turned to look behind him, where the bisected body of Xiong Heng Demon Lord, was unable to recover and continuously fell downwards.

This middle-stage Demon Venerable of the Primordial Demon Sect, without the integration of the black stream, was no longer an undying body and thus fell.

Han Yi waved his hand to suppress and collect the Ancient Artifact from the demon, then planned to obtain some cultivation resources from this Demon Lord. At the Venerable Sage level, his Heavenly Venerate World inside his body was already comparable to a real Great World, and cultivation resources were definitely carried on his person.

But as Han Yi was about to make his move, the severed body of Xiong Heng Demon Lord completely shattered, turning into demonic material which, like previously shattered Divine Souls, was quickly attracted to and merged into the Central Palace.

Even everything inside his body was the same.

This scene once again startled Han Yi.

“Indeed, these demonically possessed Demon Lords are no longer true Demon Lords, but rather turned into other bizarre entities controlled by some mysterious existence within the Central Palace.”

Han Yi did not attempt to intercept but quickly moved away from the spot.

At the same time, after learning the true nature of the black stream, he did not make a big fuss but became even more cautious; he had some speculations about the nature of Boundary Power.

The locations from which he extracted Boundary Power were all related to the Chaos Realm, and the Cave Heaven Worlds in the Chongxuan Stele were all revived through Boundary Power, indicating that this energy was superior to Chaotic Power.

And since Chaotic Power corresponded to the Heavenly Sovereigns, Boundary Power likely corresponded to Half-Step Transcendence and even Transcendence Ones.

Upon further reflection on Half-Step Transcendence and Transcendence Ones, also known as Realm Venerables,

Thus, Han Yi deduced that Boundary Power was a force only Realm Venerables could master, a power of a Chaos Realm, superior to Chaotic Power.

However,

Now that he knew the truth about the black stream, Han Yi was no longer afraid. With the interface, if the black stream appeared again, he could directly absorb it.

Of course, he would not actively approach the Central Palace nor attempt to intercept the black streams in the surrounding battle groups, deliberately absorbing them.

Not to mention that there were many high-level Venerable Sages in the surrounding battle groups who, if they discovered his ability to absorb such bizarre black streams, would not hesitate to capture him to conduct more experiments or even directly perform a Soul Seek in an attempt to discover the Tao Skills used to absorb the black streams.

In the face of life and death, even if it meant resorting to cruel methods, the Venerable Sages would not hesitate to act.

Moreover, once he became too conspicuous, the suspicious entity within the Central Palace, resembling the Master of the Primordial Demon, would definitely crush him immediately.

Therefore, Han Yi deliberately avoided the battle groups of those high-level Venerable Sages and wandered around the nearby palaces, searching for treasures. Since the Demon Lords of the Primordial Demon Sect, once fallen, would transform into demonic material absorbed by the palaces, his hope of obtaining treasures from other Demon Lords was no longer feasible.

Apart from the Ancient Artifacts used in battle that they held in their hands, Han Yi would have to find other treasures, like Origin Crystals, himself.

Of course, the likelihood of finding such treasures was slim, because important items like Origin Crystals would be carried by Venerable Sages themselves.

But a small likelihood does not mean no likelihood at all. The vast Primordial Demon Sect surely had secret vaults and obtaining anything from there would be an incredible opportunity.
