The enormous figure that appeared behind Dao Immortal was none other than the Source Wisdom Corpse.
Back when Hongjun returned from beyond the Primordial Grand World, Dao Immortal had joined forces with the Wisdom God of the Source Wisdom Great World to surround and kill Hongjun. The Wisdom God had deployed his trump card—the Source Wisdom Corpse.
Source Wisdom had once been half a step beyond transcendence. Though he had fallen, even his corpse could wield power far surpassing that of a Heavenly Venerable.
Yet what made Han Yi's gaze tighten slightly was that the Source Wisdom Corpse behind Dao Immortal carried none of the Wisdom God's aura. Instead, a trace of Dao Immortal's Dao rhythm lingered at the corpse's core.
In other words, Dao Immortal had most likely destroyed the divine soul through which the Wisdom God controlled the Source Wisdom Corpse and claimed this half-step World Venerable corpse for himself.
Just then.
Not far from Dao Immortal, a streak of azure light flickered. Then, Lord Azure Nether's physical body slowly rose from the ruins.
His body was still covered in densely packed runes, but with Dao Immortal no longer suppressing him, he could force himself to move beneath these sealing runes.
Han Yi's strike just now had wounded both his divine soul and flesh, but it had also indirectly suppressed Dao Immortal's sealing power, loosening the runes on his body by a sliver. His divine soul had seized the chance to return to his body, allowing him to temporarily control it.
Dao Immortal glanced at Lord Azure Nether but paid him no heed. His sealing power was formidable and had been tailored specifically for Lord Azure Nether. Even without his suppression, Lord Azure Nether could not recover his strength. Even if he fled, he would not get far.
