I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy - Chapter 1159

Chapter 1159: Chapter 477: Turmoil at the Imperial Court, Grand Dreams to Illusion_1 Chapter 1159: Chapter 477: Turmoil at the Imperial Court, Grand Dreams to Illusion_1 Back then, due to the split within the Beidou Immortal Palace, Han Yi was invited to the Daluo Fairy Court to attend the Douxian Meeting between Beidou and Gouchen. At that time, he was still a Half-immortal, and before the Douxian Meeting even began, he encountered the mutation of the Emperor Cliff Heaven Realm.

After that, he and other True Immortals from the Beidou Immortal Palace went to the Emperor Cliff Heaven Realm, where they encountered strange cultivators. From the words of Taiyuan, Han Yi learned that these strange cultivators were affected by the pollution of the Inverse Tao Aura.

The origin of all this was the Tao Contrarian, a terrifying existence that wandered through Chaos, reversing the Tao Principles and destroying great worlds.

Not long ago, the split in Daluo was precisely because it had entangled with this terrifying existence, and even the Void Ancient Tao Ancestor, who had existed for countless tens of thousands of years, perished in it.

Not only that, but the entire Daluo Fairy Court’s Immortal Domain was also affected by the spread of the Inverse Tao Aura, resulting in countless strange cultivators appearing. These strange cultivators were given a new name, Evil Reversal.

But when he stepped into the Taipu Immortal Territory belonging to the Imperial Court, the Evil Reversals that Han Yi encountered were starkly different from those he had faced in the Emperor Cliff Heaven Realm back then.

The Evil Reversals of those years, akin to being possessed, had no rationality, only a desire for slaughter, as if turned into puppets by the Inverse Tao Aura. In fact, although their state was strange, their combat power was not strong. A cultivator of the same Realm could fight against three or even more of them.

The Evil Reversals before him now made a more direct impression on Han Yi, sinister yet not lacking in rationality, as if the Inverse Tao Aura had merged with the cultivators. These cultivators underwent a drastic change in temperament and, to some extent, became Evil Cultivators.

The combat power of the Evil Cultivators was not low, especially since their rationality remained, their Immortal Power unabated, and they could still wield their original Immortal Skills. Moreover, when pushed into a corner, these Evil Cultivators would recklessly unleash their Immortal Power, and in terms of combat power, they could be stronger and more terrifying than before.

“These are the Evil Reversals?” Han Yi asked aloud.

Li Zhengyang, standing beside him, had a solemn expression as he replied in a heavy voice, “Exactly, these are the Evil Reversals.”

“Although it’s my first visit in ten years, I had already learned about the situation within the Imperial Court from other sources and knew about the state of the Evil Reversals.”

“These Evil Reversals, from the outside, look nearly identical to the Evil Cultivators, but if you slay them, whether it is their physical body or Divine Soul, even the Immortal Artifacts on them, all will vanish at an incredibly fast speed.”

“If you were to use time reversal at the place of their fall, you wouldn’t even detect any trace of their past existence, which is utterly strange.”

“Moreover, the combat power of the Evil Reversals is quite formidable. Their Spirit Power Immortality is filled with destructive force. One cannot be too careful when dealing with them.”

Li Zhengyang explained quickly, raising Han Yi’s eyebrows slightly.

For this summons to the Immortal Court, Han Yi and his companions had come in the capacity of envoys from the Righteous Palace, a status that allowed them to act independently, without needing to follow a team, giving them greater mobility. Of course, if they preferred not to act alone, they could also join the teams in any Immortal City that had cleared the Evil Reversals and move with the troops of the Immortal Court.

Han Yi had not paid much attention to the state of the Evil Reversals beforehand. He thought that the Evil Reversals were the same as those he had encountered in the Emperor Cliff Heaven Realm, tainted by the Inverse Tao Aura.

Now, seeing them himself and hearing Li Zhengyang’s explanation, he realized that although the cause of their corruption was the same, the contemporary Evil Reversals had undergone even more significant mutations.

He descended to where a battle was taking place. Three cultivators, exuding sinister auras, were besieging a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

With Han Yi’s experience, he recognized at a glance that the Realms of these three Evil Reversals before their corruption should have been just Nascent Soul, but after the corruption, they were capable of besieging a Spirit Transformation cultivator, which was shocking to him.

After he landed, the three Nascent Soul Evil Reversals, upon seeing him, quickly gave up their attack on the Spirit Transformation cultivator and turned to flee.

Han Yi flicked his finger, and a flash of Immortal Power pierced through the Nascent Soul Evil Reversal’s forehead. The Evil Reversal stiffened midair, then began to dematerialize, followed by completely disappearing without a trace, as if it had been erased from the conceptual level along with the Spiritual Treasure longsword in its hand, leaving no trace behind in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Han Yi thought to himself that it was indeed the case.

This scene was different from when he killed the cultivators tainted by the Inverse Tao Aura in the Emperor Cliff Heaven Realm. At that time, each of the fallen cultivators would produce an iron piece, which was the Inverse Tao Crystal.

But this Nascent Soul Evil Reversal Warrior had no Inverse Tao Crystal.

Han Yi had come to understand this situation before; from all intelligence sources, there had been no reports of iron pieces or Inverse Tao Crystals appearing at the scene after an Evil Reversal had died.

Nevertheless, he was not regretful about this phenomenon; he was just confirming the situation.

The other two Evil Reversals, realizing they couldn’t escape, one threw itself at Han Yi, its body’s aura shining bright, its spiritual energy surging in preparation to self-destruct to stop Han Yi. The last Evil Reversal’s aura kept changing, as if it had triggered some powerful secret, its speed terrifying, at one point even reaching the Spirit Transformation Stage level of a senior cultivator.

Han Yi merely reached forward gently, executing the newly comprehended Chaotic Star Immortal Skill. Fate instantly became disordered, and the aura of the self-detonating Evil Reversal, which was about to explode, shook abruptly. It calmed for an instant, causing his self-detonation to fail.

But the calm was brief as a strange aura on the self-detonating cultivator abruptly awakened the quieted energy, breaking free from the restraint.

Han Yi was surprised again. Although he had only just grasped the Chaotic Star Immortal Skill, it was fundamentally a First-stage Immortal Skill, and with his True Immortal Peak cultivation, deploying it meant that not just Nascent Soul but even Half-immortals would struggle to resist it.
