Han Yi did not know that Houtu had encountered another tremendous opportunity. He raced through the chaos at the speed of the Boundless True Realm, encountering quite a few Chaotic Evil Gods along the way who were headed for the Eternal Dao Mark.
Most of these Evil Gods were Immortal Venerables, though there was also one at the Dao Realm. The Immortal Venerable-level Chaotic Evil Gods sensed the Boundless aura about Han Yi from far away and avoided him early on. The Dao Realm Evil God, however, wanted to probe Han Yi's true strength. Yet the moment it drew slightly closer, Han Yi cleaved it to death with a single axe stroke, clean and decisive.
This sight terrified the surrounding Chaotic Evil Gods out of their wits, their souls nearly flying from their bodies as they activated secret arts and fled in all directions.
By the time he saw the outline of the Primordial Grand World again, three full years had already passed since Han Yi left the Eternal Dao Mark.
During those three years, he had used the Boundless True Realm in the first year, moving at tremendous speed comparable to a cultivator at the peak of the first step of the Dao Realm. During the latter two years, he slowed down and entered the No-Self Demon Sword, allowing the demonic sword to carry him through the chaos.
He did not possess a Dao artifact-level Dao vessel, but using the demonic sword in its place made little difference.
Though his speed had decreased, it was still comparable to that of an ordinary Dao Realm cultivator.
Within the demonic sword, he did not neglect his cultivation. Instead, while his insights from the Dao Mark had yet to fade, he seized the time to transform them into his own foundation.
