Before anyone could respond, the black-robed woman coldly laughed. The bright pillar of light disappeared in the distance, and now everything was being immersed in darkness.

This Devil Ancestor Yuan Cha actually used the Black Wind Flags spatial abilities to seal them away.

Grand Immortal Xu and the others betrayed shock from their faces.

Run!

Yi! Where is the person who just arrived?!

T-the formation isnt working! We cant leave!

A series of furious voices fired out in succession. Panic had begun to set in.

Han Li felt his heart sank. He also lost sight of the person who just used the teleportation formation. He also hadnt caught sight of his appearance. However, there were more pressing matters at hand.

He blurred and reappeared in front of the formation.

Lin Yinping and Gui Ling were standing in front and were examining it from every direction with anxious expressions.

Let me look! Han Li sullenly shouted. He then raised his hand and struck the edge of the formation with a spell seal. It weakly lit up but had no other reaction.

His expression sank.

At that moment, Grand Immortal Xu and the Silver-winged Nightfiend arrived next to him, but they were unfamiliar with the workings of spell formations. When the nightfiend saw Han Lis expression, he asked, Is there something wrong with the formation?

There is no problem with the formation, its the Black Wind Flag that is blocking us. Unless the seal goes away, neither will we.

How exactly can we manage that?! Do you want us to kill that Devil Ancestor Yuan Cha? If we had such abilities, why would we bother to leave!? The nightfiend shouted.

Han Li glared back at him and bluntly retorted, Why bother asking? You should keep your complaints to yourself. Fortunately, the devil is currently focused on dealing with the person inside the palace. Now that shes trapped us, she wont be paying us any heed for some time. Let us take this time to come up with a new plan.

Angered, the nightfiend wore a hostile expression on his face, but something soon came to mind and he suppressed his anger with a snort. Then, his eyes wandered as he brooded.

To the side, Grand Immortal Xu was lost in his thoughts as well.

Lin Yinping and Gui Ling both tightly frowned in disappointment at failing to leave.

But just as Han Li and the others found themselves helpless in the face of crisis, outside the formation, the black-robed woman was enveloping herself in a black tornado and looked at the huge flag with a sneer on her face.

Apart from the several tornadoes at her side, the violent winds had gradually begun to still, making the carnage visible.

Although maintaining the spatial seal used up by the Black Wind Flags capacity, the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation is now completely destroyed and now she only had to deal with the masterless Eight Spirit Ruler. Although it was immensely powerful, it couldnt command many of its own abilities using what intelligence it had.

With that thought, she began to glance around her.

The Eight Spirit Rulers spirit beast phantoms were continuously torn away by the tsunami of winds, only for them to reform a moment later. Although they werent able of reaching her, she wasnt willing to leave the protection of the wind.

The black-robed woman expressionlessly turned her gaze back to the person floating above the palace, the large-headed eccentric. Ever since the battle started, he remained completely still.

Although the baleful winds summoned by the Black Wind Flag were formidable, he was completely safe at the center of the palace.

A strange delight glinted from her eyes and she said, Fellow Daoist Ye, go ahead and take the Eight Spirit Ruler. Dont worry, Ill watch over you and prevent Long Meng from attacking you.

When the eccentric heard this, he wore a hesitant expression.

What, do you fear that I wont protect you? The black-robed woman chuckled and brushed away the hair from her face. Then she raised her arm towards the Ye Clan cultivators in the distance.

Those cultivators were accompanying the grand elders doppelganger illusion. When they saw her act, they were greatly frightened.

She simply flicked her finger at them as if she were brushing the air.

The cultivators were baffled, and the large-headed eccentric was as well.

Then, several muffled pops sounded out. A small blossom of crimson blood appeared on the foreheads of the Daoist Nun and the old man at her side, their empty bodies promptly plummeting to the ground. The treasures and light protecting them had no effect.

As for the square-faced middle-aged man, the bone bracelet in front of him brightly flashed with yellow light and blocked the attack of a translucent pearl.

The gem was only the size of a thumb and exploded after being blocked. The mirage of the Ye Clan Grand Elder had its forehead struck and the pearl disappeared without a trace.

Yi!

Huh?

The Shining Moon Band? No, a replica! The black-robed woman muttered with a trace of surprise.

Sacred Ancestor, what are you doing? The eccentric wore a gloomy expression.

What? Since you dont trust me, I needed to let you witness my abilities, she shot a glance at him and casually asked, Could it be you still have a relationship to those people?

The eccentric snorted and felt somewhat annoyed, but he didnt air it. Instead, he looked at the mirage of the Ye Clan Grand Elder with a bewildered expression.

At that same time, the two Ye Clan cultivators corpses ruptured forth and two Nascent Souls flew out towards the square-faced cultivator in a panic.

With an icy expression on his face, the square-faced man briefly put away the bone bracelet and allowed the two Souls to enter his sleeve before he released it once more.

As this happened, he was staring at the black-robed woman in fear that she would attack him.

Feeling it beneath her dignity to launch another attack and believing that she had already displayed the might of her abilities to the eccentric, she paid no further attention to the square-faced cultivator. Instead, she turned to the eccentric and said, So long as you help me in taking away the Eight Spirit Ruler, I will consider your task fulfilled. After I manage to escape, I will infuse your body with devilish Qi and extend your lifespan. When I deal with the demon in there, you wont need to attack… Could it be that you cant perform this simple task?

With that said, the black-robed womans expression turned icy and her black-and-white eyes bleed a shade crimson.

The eccentrics quickly expression moved. When he heard that Yuan Chas tone became displeased, he knew that he would have to take on this risk. He gritted his teeth and flew in the direction of the Eight Spirit Ruler.

As the eccentric moved forward, a cold snort sounded out from the palace below. Suddenly, the space above him began to distort, and a thirty-meter large fist instantly appeared, smashing down on him like a falling mountain.

The huge first carried a dense spiritual pressure and deeply shocked him. He immediately wanted to retreat, but at that moment, the black-robed woman let out a chuckle and flicked her hand in the direction of the palace.

A huge explosion bloomed out, followed by the fist shooting to the side. It then scattered into specks of white light.

The eccentric felt great relief towards this and flashed forward without any further hesitation, flying towards the Eight Spirit Ruler in a yellow streak.

But when he arrived around thirty meters away, he heard a nearly inaudible sigh. Soon after, a strange light flashed, followed by the appearance of a streak of black-red swordlight sweeping towards him.

The Black Blood Blade!

The eccentric shouted out with a breath cold from surprise. He instantly spat out one of his small yellow swords and had it expand to three-meters-long. It circled in the air, forming layers of sword images around itself. Then, the eccentric flipped his hand to produce a small white bottle and pointed its opening towards the blade of light.

A mist of white shot out from the bottle and blurred to block the incoming attacking.

When the two sides collided, the black-red blade faintly stirred before chewing apart the mist. Soon after, the light shined brighter and expanded ten meters long before cleaving down at the eccentric.

The eccentric wore a panicked expression. He clutched his hand in an incantation gesture and willed the huge yellow sword to block it. At that same time, he released a pitchfork from his sleeve and had it fly up in a silver streak.

The black-red blade cleaved down upon the sword illusions, pausing for just a moment. A low hum then sounded as they were torn apart like paper and moved on to the huge yellow sword.

The weapon wailed and its body began to crack from the impact.

The eccentrics face paled and he spat out a mouthful of black blood on the blade. Fortunately, the flying pitchfork he had released earlier quickly assisted the huge sword in blocking the blades downward momentum.

But despite this, the two treasures wouldnt be able to defend against this blade of light for much longer. The eccentrics entire body flashed with light as he prepared to shoot away.

When the black-robed woman saw this, her expression sank and she casually flicked her finger in the direction above the palace.

A muffled snort sounded out and a faint white silhouette staggered into view.

It was a white-robed scholar, the Ye Clan Grand Elder who had earlier disappeared.

However, he wore an expressionless face and there was a small hole in his chest. It was positioned right above his heart, and it wasnt bleeding.

The Elder Devils attention was so focused on Han Li that the black dagger escaped his notice.

By the time he discovered it, it was too late.

A red line flashed from the Elder Devils neck and its last remaining head was cleanly lobbed off.

Han Li rejoiced, but before he could celebrate, the headless Elder Devil raised his two sabers and swung, flinging two black streaks towards him. Soon after, the headless body of the Elder Devil ruptured into dense clouds of devilish Qi.

Han Li felt surprised, but he had no intention of letting his prey escape. He clasped his hands together in an incantation gesture without hesitation and detonated the purple flame flood dragon that he previously released.

Blazing purple embers spread throughout an area of thirty meters like falling rain.

Several dozen small golden swords sliced through the two black streaks and scattered them. The flying swords then dispersed in every direction, shortly sparking golden lightning between them to create a giant net around the purple flame.

A huge crackle sounded out.

The majority of the devilish Qi didnt make it very far and were frozen solid in a huge chunk of purple ice. The remaining black Qi was caught by the lightning net, evaporating them with huge bolts of lightning.

When Han Li saw this, he clasped his hands and solemnly uttered, Rupture.

Countless thin arcs of golden lightning leapt onto the purple ice as the net dissolved, completely rending it to dust and wiping away the soul of the Elder Devil concealed within.

Several treasures fell out from the extinguished devilish Qi as well.

When he glanced at two of the items there, his eyes lit up.

He flicked his finger and two arcs of golden lightning shot out, and immediately scattered the black threads surrounding them.

They were the two Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords Han Li had lost back at Devilfall Valley!

He rejoiced and quickly tested them with a mental command. The two blades leapt into the air before launching back into his hand.

The worry that had been plaguing his mind was now put at ease.

Fortunately, he would only have to shortly temper them before they return back to fighting form despite having remained seal for such a long while.

At that moment, the others blankly stared as Han Li slayed the Elder Devil with clean efficiency. Even its soul didnt even have the opportunity to escape. The spectators couldnt help but look at each other with fear.

His human-like puppet, however, had left them completely baffled. They had no idea how Han Li called upon such a powerful cultivator. They hadnt spotted this person ever since they arrived. Could it be his concealment techniques were at a level where he could hide in plain sight from the best of them?

With that thought, their hearts were thrown into further turmoil.

However, they werent ordinary people and were able to quickly calm themselves. Rather, they all made a tacit agreement to begin striking at the barrier protecting the teleportation formation.

The grey wall isolated the formation from the world and was produced from several flags surrounding the formation. There was also a restriction that was disabling its use.

Several attacks whistled through the air and crashed down.

Spiritual light flashed and rumbles shook the space. Much against their expectations, the barrier held firm against the assault. Be it the demons fierce attacks or Grand Immortal Xu, their strikes had only caused faint ripples.

They naively believed that they would be able to immediately leave following the Elder Devis defeat, but now their hearts tensed.

The Lion Hawk in particular was upset by this and wildly flailed its talons to no effect. Then with an ominous glint shining in its eye, it unleashed golden shockwaves from its mouth towards it, leaving a deep depression in the barrier and visibly putting it under great strain.

Grand Immortal Xus mind stirred at the sight of this, and he commanded his Keen Spirit Peacock to spread out its wings and rainbow release a gust of rainbow light as well. To the side, Lin Yinping followed suit and repeatedly spat out silver light to strike at the same spot. The Silver-winged Nightfiend condensed countless Ghostfiend Threads into a huge python to add on to the relentless assault.

They all knew that breaking through would be key to escaping so they spared no effort.

In the blink of an eye, an astonishing spiritual light completely enveloped the barrier.

Sounds of cracking had finally begun to ring. By then, Han Li and Gui Ling had arrived in several blurs. The human-like puppet had disappeared from sight along the way.

Han Li appeared entirely calm when he arrived, but his presence inspired fear in the others. And with his timely arrival, the formation flags finally howled and split in two, dissolving the barrier to the teleportation formation. The cultivators immediately made a mad rush inside.

But before anyone actually reached it, several balls of light ruptured and the cultivators fell to the ground.

Following that mutual attack, the others backed away from one another.

Grand Immortal Xu held an azure pearl in his hand and furiously glared at Han Li. Fellow Daoist Han, what are you doing!?

I should be asking you that, Han Li replied with a mysterious smile. There were several golden swords floating in front of him, and he was holding the fearsome Triflame Fan in his hand.

With his wings wrapped around his body, the nightfiend glared at Han Li and coldly said, The first one to leave will be me! I dont trust any of you humans!

Haha, that will be difficult, Han Lis smile disappeared and he spoke with an icy tone, This small formation can only move two people at once. If the formation is destroyed from the other side, where are we to go?

With that said, the others began to slowly encircle the formation.

The three parties stared each other down in a standoff.

When they finished the circle, an overly sweet voice sounded out from the direction of the palace, You killed one of my brethren in front of me? Dont think even think about escaping!

Despite how far away the voice spoke from, everyone could clearly hear her cold and furious tone.

In the instant her subordinate was slain, Devil Ancestor Yuan Cha sensed it.

By using nearly half of the Black Wind Flags power, the woman managed to completely overwhelm the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation. Even the Eight Spirit Ruler was completely ineffective against its power. It had summoned the eight spirit beast phantoms to besiege her, but the Black Wind Flags supreme power kept them at bay.

The woman originally planned on first dealing with the formation before subduing the ruler, but now that her only subordinate had unexpectedly perished, her ire was raised.

The black-robed womans expression turned icy and she spat out several crimson flags into the air. Afterwards, she flicked her fingers and struck them all with spell seals.

Blinding light flared from each of them and they surged in size, growing thirty meters tall in the blink of an eye. These giant flags had purple incantation characters and black Qi roaming across its surface.

With the appearance of the flag, the nearby tornados surged with power and twisted viciously, slowly scraping away at the altars establishing the Ninetruths Formation. The golden blades of light were launching attacks into the winds with fervor but it was clear that the formation was nearing its limits.

When the black-robed woman grew closer to the palace, the Eight Spirit Ruler wasnt able to exhibit most of its power and could only attack her with its eight beast phantoms. However, the Black Wind Flag blew them astray and their figures grew unsteady.

The cultivators and demons hearts trembled with the sudden and violent surge of wind following the black-robed womans threat. The three parties then glared at one another, fearing that they would leave through the teleportation formation first.

With rumbling from the direction of the palace and dark clouds blocking the sky, a dozen black tornados converged together and caused the air itself to tremble. Han Li felt an immense sense of dread from this and immediately said, Lets first have Fellow Daoist Gui and Fellow Daoist Lin teleport through. Gui Ling is a demon beast and old friends of the Nightfiend and the Lion Hawk. Fellow Daoist Xu should be more at ease once Fellow Daoist Lin crosses over. For our second group, the Lion Hawk and Fellow Daoist Xu will cross over, then lastly, I will cross over with the Nightfiend. Lets hurry before we all die!

Grand Immortal Xu and the others also sensed that something terrible was on the verge of creation. But even so, they had misgivings about the plan, but with no better option they couldnt afford to delay any further. After exchanging a glance with one another, they nodded.

Gui Ling immediately followed Han Lis commanded and stepped into the formation with Lin Yinping.

But unbeknownst to anyone, just as the two stepped in, it lit up with white light and a silhouette appeared within.

The others were left completely baffled.

At that moment, the black-robed womans cold voice sounded out, Primal chaos, rend the heavens!

A pillar of pitch-black light erupted from a distance, but soon, it came to a sudden stop midair and split the sky into two. One half was completely clear and shining with sunlight. The other was engulfed in a curtain of black and soon grew to cover the entire sky. In nearly an instant, it spread above Han Li and company.

The Elder Devil swung his newly split sabers and released countless palm-sized black crescents in a dense barrage towards Han Li. He took no notice of the other cultivators and was hellbent on pursuing him alone.

This came as no surprise. Among the enemies that faced him, Han Li and Lin Yinping were the easiest to eliminate, but the Endless Sky Saintess Lin Yinping had Grand Imortal Xu with her. frewenovel.com

Of course, the Elder Devil only concluded this because he never had an opportunity to fight Han Li at full strength.

When Han Li saw the devils overbearing assault, he maintained complete calm and waved his sleeve. Out produced a small shield that moved in front of him, quickly expanding to protect his front.

He then glanced at the devil and let out a sigh.

The Elder Devil looked at his expression from a distance and shortly paused in surprise at his reaction, but then, he immediately sensed a strange spiritual pressure from underneath him.

Before he could glance down, he heard a slash and a silhouette wrapped in yellow made an abrupt appearance from the ground ten meters behind him.

Soon after, the figure let out a shout and swung down the huge silver axe she held in her hands.

This was the horned woman Gui Ling who had remained hidden underneath where Han Li originally stood.

Before the blade of the axe even fell, its fearsome spiritual pressure shook the nearby ground causing the earth to quake with foot-deep holes.

The Elder Devils face fell and no longer moved to assault Han Li. He hurriedly turned around and sliced his swords in a cross. Two huge blades of light surged out to meet the silver axe just in time.

Black and silver light erupted as the attacks collided. A shockwave of both icy and searing air bloomed in every direction.

The black light blades managed to temporarily stop the huge axes descend for just a second before disappearing.

During that delay, the Elder Devil clasped two of his hands in an incantation gesture. With the sounds of cracking bone, his body surged in size. His clothes tore away to reveal a layer of sleek armor made from foot-wide black scales.

Inky devilish Qi covered his wounds and his flesh squirmed beneath, quickly healing itself.

After turning in the air, an ominous glint flashed in his eyes and he took a deep breath. He opened his mouth to release a wide shockwave at the axe. When they collided against the huge silver axe, the sound seemed to become solid and blocked the axe from falling any further.

The devil suddenly let out an ancient incantation and the black scales covering his body brightened, igniting in a dense layer of impressive black-purple flames.

Gui Lings heart trembled at the sight and she jumped back. With a loud shout, her body ferociously expanded and a layer of green armor fitted around her.

The silver axe grew alongside her, glistening with a brilliant glow. She chopped down with even greater strength.

Her sudden growth had surprised the devil. Although his own form was larger than hers, he had no choice but to stop his incantation as he raised his blades to meet the axe.

Upon impact, the both weapons let out a resounding boom, shaking the air around them. Already on guard, the Elder Devil suffered no damage. Rather, he used the momentum of the attack to quickly fly backwards.

But as he retreated, he wore a mocking smile. The azure halberd in one of his hands lit up with black flames and he launched it towards Gui Lings body.

It traveled with an immense speed matched only by a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, it struck Gui Lings armor and flashed.

Before the Elder Devil regained stable ground, he began his incantation once more in preparation to employ even more vastly powerful techniques. The halberd alone wouldnt be enough to exterminate that tenacious horned woman.

But at that moment, something entirely unexpected occurred.

A faint black light burned three meters behind the devil. An inch-long crystalline black blade appeared silently in the air. Then with a flicker, it disappeared without a trace.

The Elder Devil suddenly gained a terrifying premonition and was about to fly away.

But before he could even try, one of his heads felt as if it had been stabbed through, and his spiritual sense cut with agony.

No matter how powerful his was, the surprise attack halted his movements.

In that short delay, a nearly indiscernible red line appeared at the neck of one of the heads. Soon after, it tumbled to the ground without any warning, and a fountain of blood spurted from its vacant neck.

A distance away, Han Li was holding his hands in a strange gesture and his complexion was pale and exhausted.

The pain from the Elder Devils spiritual sense was from his Great Development Techniques Soulfright Thorn, though it was a simplified version.

Although he hadnt cultivated the last few layers of the Great Development Technique and its power was far less potent than the true Soulfight Thorn, it had a great effect on anyone caught unaware. As such, he called this attack the Spirit Stun Thorn to differentiate the two.

Although the technique was much weaker, it still left him completely dizzy after using it once.

The Elder Devils remaining head wore an expression of disbelief, and howled with pain and rage. Devilish Qi soon entirely coated his body.

The devilish Qi burst all around him before he disappeared from sight.

Sixteen meters away, an astonishing change occurred.

A cloud of black Qi made a sudden appearance, followed by the maimed Elder Devil tumbling out from it. Although the loss of one of his heads hadnt killed him, it severely injured him.

Gui Ling swinging down her axe, the beheading of the Elder Devil, his escape afterwards, all occurred in the blink of an eye.

The scene left the others completely dumbstruck!

Things had gone vastly awry to their original plan. They had intended on only distracting the devil so they could wait for an opportunity to use the teleportation formation to escape.

The thought of killing the devil hadnt even occurred in their minds.

But now that it was a distinct possibility, how will their plan change?

In truth, Han Li actually planned on slaying the devil all along.

As for the strange blade that beheaded the devil, the cultivators up above hadnt detected any signs of its appearance. When they wondered if the same could happen to them, they felt their hearts drop.

But in any case, the Elder Devil was out of luck! With so many cultivators attacking him at once, he had no opportunity to reprieve and was unable to make use of any of his greater abilities. Bafflingly enough, he was also gravely injured. Had the devil been able to make use of his secret abilities, it would be impossible for him to suffer in such state in a short amount of time.

The Elder Devil shot a hateful glance at Han Li on the sidelines before fleeing in the direction of the black-robed woman in a surge of black Qi. Under his current conditions, he had no further intention to risk his life to continuing the battle.

Han Li had different plans though, and a trace of derision smeared on his face.

A ball of silver light flared near the Elder Devil, followed by the sudden appearance of a silhouette.

Greatly frightened, the devil recoiled and prepared for the worst, binding himself in layers of boiling devilish Qi. But when he met the gaze of the newly-appeared cultivator, his body was enveloped in an entirely different world. He could sense nothing else apart from a pair of attractive purple eyes.

A bewitchment technique! With a spiritual sense comparable to a peak late-Nascent Soul cultivator, he was able to quickly recover. However, it wasnt nearly fast enough, because an emerald streak suddenly appeared in front of him in a roll of thunder. He could clearly see golden lightning flashing from it too.

Divine Devilbane Lightning! the Elder Devil cried out. Had he not been injured, he wouldve been able to deal with it well enough, but he could no longer afford to confront such an attack.

The devil waved his hand and devilish Qi condensed in front of him. Very rapidly, a small black shield moved forward to block the green streak as he blurred away, intending on arriving ten meters away. But on the way, thunder called from his side.

Not good! The devils heart trembled. Before he could take action, Han Li appeared in a spark of silver lightning. He waved his sleeve and released dozens of small golden swords and a purple flood dragon at the devil.

The timing of Han Lis attack was superb. The devil wasnt able to dodge in the slightest.

Helpless, the devils head strangely twisted around in Han Lis direction. Then, he opened his mouth and released a surging black shockwave. Two devil arms blurred, bringing forth his black blades to meet Han Lis attack.

But when the devil least expected it, a small black dagger appeared in front of where he originally faced, and flickered out of sight.

When Gui Ling appeared, she wasnt surprised in the slightest when she saw the humans and demons gathered together, but when she glanced at Han Li, her lips moved to send him a voice transmission.

A trace of surprise was betrayed from Han Lis initially calm face.

When Lin Yinping saw his expression, she asked, What, has Fellow Daoist Gui discovered something?

Its nothing, Han Li said with regained calm, Its just that the two Fellow Daoists from the Immortal Form Sect had the same thoughts as me. They wanted to find a way out from below.

Oh, is that so? Lin Yinping spoke with a mysterious smile. It was clear she hadnt believed him, but he didnt seem to care in the slightest.

Although the others were also suspicious of him, they prioritized their shoddy alliance and didnt pursue the matter.

They then began to discuss their plan of action.

As they were all rich with battle experience, the discussion was brief so they quickly took action. Their bodies glowed with light before disappearing from sight.

Han Li nodded at Gui Ling and she burrowed into the earth once again.

He gave Silvermoon a command and she flew back into his sleeve in the form of a small fox.

Han Li gazed at the black teleportation formation and stroked his chin before slapping his storage pouch. In a flash of silver light, a silhouette appeared in front of him: the human-like puppet.

He flicked his hand at it. Silver light wrapped around the puppets body before it faded to an unremarkable yellow. Afterwards, the puppets eyes brightly shined purple and disappeared into nothingness.

This battle would be critical, with mortal consequences. He couldnt afford to spare any strength.

With the puppet at his side, he would feel more at ease.

Given the puppets superb concealment techniques, the Elder Devil likely wouldnt discover it before its too late. But the black-robed woman on the other hand was a devil whose abilities he had yet to fully witness.

As he tightly held the Triflame Fan in one hand, he formed an incantation with the other, summoning the Thunderstorm Wings from his back. He disappeared in a flash of silver light shortly after.

At the other side of the perimeter, there lay the teleportation formation floating in the air that was now covered in a barrier of grey light. The two-headed Elder Devil was floating above it with his arms casually hanging behind his back.

One of its heads was staring in the direction of the palace with a focused gaze. The other was vigilantly looking around. reewebove.com

His four arms were holding onto a pair of violet rings, a blue halberd, and a scarlet brick.

Although the vicious winds of the Black Wind Flag was relentless, they didnt seem to have much of an effect on him. A strange look appeared on the face of the head looking in the direction of the palace.

A ray of golden light suddenly flashed from the center and cleaved away a portion of the dense mist with tremendous power. The whistling of the wind came to an abrupt halt.

The Elder Devil raised his brow at the sight and felt some hesitation about standing around. He wanted to offer his support, but he felt greatly conflicted.

However, he soon felt at ease.

The astonishing golden light flashing in the distance had been swept away by a wild tornado that spanned over thirty meters. It was like a dragon of black wind, whipping across the air in an instant. It even distorted the nearby space as if the world itself was twisting to its will.

The Elder Devil could only briefly relish relief, as its other head widely opened its eyes and waved one of its hands forward.

A red streak of light tore through the air and transformed into a ten-meter-wide brick that fiercely smashed down.

But before it landed, a scarlet flame blazed from the top of it and several vicious fire serpents leapt forward with fangs bared.

A cold snort sounded out, To think youd be so vigilant. Two silhouettes then appeared from the fierce winds.

One of these figures casually raised their hand and a blue streak was released, expanding into a three-meter tall jade umbrella.

Explosions sounded out. The icy mist covering the umbrellas surface blocked the fire brick.

Blue light and scarlet flame clashed against one another for a time. Although the fire serpents were vicious and intense, they were subdued by the umbrellas ice attribute and were helpless.

The two figures belonged to Grand Immortal Xu and Lin Yinping. They coldly leered at the Elder Devil while floating motionlessly in the air.

The devils two heads shifted and simultaneously watched the two down below.

I recognize you. You should be cultivators from the Soaring Sky Plains. It is a pity you cant be buried there! One of the heads spoke with a deafening voice and a smirk.

Grand Immortal Xu wordlessly slapped this storage pouch.

Phoenix cries echoed and light wildly flashed, summoning a rainbow peacock in front of them. It rolled out its wings and spread out its feathers as soon as it appeared.

Its presence made for an amazing sight. Rainbow light cascaded from its body and kept the vicious winds around them at bay.

A Keen Spirit Peacock! the Elder Devil shouted, You actually have a bird from antiquity. Hmph, but its skills are far too shallow. Were it older, I might actually be afraid.

Is that so? Then lets have you first test the viciousness of its rainbow light. Grand Immortal Xu then let out a whistle and the peacock raised its head before spanning its wings. Brilliant radiance surged out.

The Elder Devil coldly snorted. He clapped together the two hands holding the purple rings and to produce a deafening drone that dazed ones spiritual sense.

Soon after, the two rings shot out and blurred, leaving behind copies of itself in its wake and filling the nearby air with tension. The devil then held a hand in an incantation gesture and covered its body in black devilish Qi, as if preparing for an attack.

In response, Grand Immortal Xu and Endless Sky Saintess Lin Yinping each summoned a magic treasure of their own and raised their hand. A ball of azure light smashed down, and a scarf with an embroidered silver silkworm released countless silver strings.

At that same moment, purple and azure mist emerged from the wind and silently arrived above the Elder Devil. The movements lacked any presence, a clear showing of superb concealment techniques.

The purple rings illusion and the rainbow light collided, producing dazzling embers across the air. Several pythons condensed from the devilish Qi in a instant, launching forward as a counterattack.

Meanwhile, a blinding light suddenly erupted from the azure and purple mist, and two silhouettes suddenly leapt down, arriving right above the devil with two sharp talons and a cloud of grey threads. At nearly the same instant, the magic treasures that Grand Immortal Xu and Lin Yinping released were just about to arrive in front of the Elder Devil. The timing of the attacks had practiced precision.

Such an ambush had come as a shock to the Elder Devil, but he soon regained his calm and mentally commanded one of the black pythons condensed from devilish Qi to coil around him. Then, he raised both heads to look at the incoming attack of the Endless Sky cultivators, the dense barrage of argent strings and the ball of azure light. In a burst like a dark blaze, a streak of black light flashed away.

But just as his attention was focused on the incoming attacks, golden light flashed at the side of the formation covering the teleporter. Thunder rang as a huge sword shot out from the underground.

At such a fast speed, the Elder Devil could only sense the huge sword as it arrived before him. In the brief moment he saw it, he noticed purple flames and golden lightning roaming across its surface.

YOU! the Elder Devil instantly recognized the sword, but due to the overbearing speed of the sword and the other attacks tying him down, he was left with no choice but to confront it. He hurriedly waved his four arms, tearing through space itself as he released a net of crystalline claw streaks towards the weapon.

Of course, it wasnt possible for him to truly block the strike in his given time.

With immense ease, the huge sword shred through the claw streaks in an instant.

In the mere moment this delay bought the devil, he created a layer of black devilish around him. A series of explosions boomed, and a huge ball of light erupted in front of the Elder Devils body, producing a blinding radiance.

Silver lightning then flashed from the surface of the ground, followed by Han Lis emergence. He raised his head to examine the air and frowned.

Although the huge sword had struck, it didnt actually cut through the devils body. It was as if the attack had casually slid past the devil.

Just as Han Li was bewildered by this, something within the blinding radiance in the air began to stir. In a gust of piercing wind, a black figure shot down towards Han Li, blurring away from sight before appearing right on top of him.

Drop dead! A thunderous roar shouted out and a huge pitch-black blade cleaved down upon him with lightning speed.

Although Han Li was alarmed, he had the Thunderstorm Wings already prepared. He disappeared without a trace and the black saber missed its mark.

A muffled echo sounded out and a meter-deep cut appeared in the ground.

Thunder rang sixty meters away and Han Li reappeared, staring at where he originally stood.

This huge deadly figure was the Elder Devil.

But at that moment, he was clearly cut into a sorry figure. One of his arms had been reduced to a stump and there was a fist-sized hole in his shoulder. He also carried several thick claw marks on his stomach as if they attempted to disembowel him.

With their combined alliance, the devil was unable to block all of the attacks and suffered.

Seeing that Han Li had escaped from him, a malevolent glint appeared in his eyes and he fiercely leered at Han Li.

In a flash of light, he pulled his hands apart and his huge saber ripped in two, releasing slightly smaller glowing blades that let out a shrieking pierce as they whistled.

Han Li now witnessed winds as fierce as blades overturning both heaven and earth.

Although this was only a fraction of what the Black Wind Flag was capable of, his senses were completely overwhelmed. All he could hear were whistling shrieks, his vision was flooded with yellow mist, his spiritual sense couldnt see a half-foot past him. All that was between him and evisceration was a single barrier.

The Triflame Fan was modeled after one of the weakest Divine Spirit Treasures, but was still capable of display forty percent of the Sevenflame Fans power. However, the power that the Black Wind Flag displayed was immensely different.

Fortunately, with his Brightsight Spirit Eyes, he was able to grasp a vague image of his surroundings thirty meters around him.

He had no idea how the Ninetruths Devil Surpression Formation was dealing with this massive attack. He could only see various tremors and sense an intense struggle taking place.

When he raised his head to the sky, all he saw were overwhelming chaotic winds that blinded him.

The barrier protecting him then began to hum even louder, forcing a pained expression from him. It was taking even more magic power to sustain. frewebnovel.com

The might of the Black Wind Flag actually increased as time passed.

Han Li took a deep breath and began to look down below him as if he were considering burrowing in the ground.

But just as the idea sprang in his mind, a foot-wide pillar of black wind suddenly surged forth from below, spinning with ceaseless momentum.

With the sudden appearance of this huge attractive force, Han Li was quickly devoured by it.

Frightened, he quickly condensed the magic power in his body and his barrier grew even brighter, forcibly halting the absorption for the time being.

Soon after, a dozen golden sword-lights shot out from the barrier and spiraled around the newly formed pillar of wind, breaking it apart into black Qi. However, it immediately condensed back together in a spiral and reformed the tornado in the blink of an eye.

He could only sullenly call out to Silvermoon and fly backwards.

It seemed these wind pillars were truly nefarious. He wouldnt even be safe if he burrowed underground.

After the two carefully avoided several tornadoes, they arrived at the edge of the area, to find a dim grey barrier.

As he had expected, he found some brief respite. The winds were far weaker here, much to their relief.

However, the seriousness on his face had yet to disappear and he looked in the direction of the palace hall for a moment before a glint flashed from his eye. He shook his hand, and a foot-long golden blade cleaved through the grey wall.

A crackle resulted from the impact along with a meter-deep slash into the wall, but in a twinkle of white light, the damage was mended as fast as it was dealt.

The barrier didnt appear very sturdy and was easily cut by his flying sword. But it was unknown how thick it was or if it was able to mend damage inexhaustably. If he couldnt break through in a single strike, he wouldnt be able to escape.

With that thought, Han Li began to move his arm and pressed it against his storage pouch.

In a flash of light, the Triflame Fan appeared in his hand.

As he carefully channeled spiritual power into it, the fan emitted a halo of tri-colored light.

He took a deep breath, then gently waved it towards the wall with a single hand.

A cloud of tri-colored flame rushed out from the fan and silently melted the wall, leaving a deep meter-wide hole.

However, his expression was far from happy.

Although the strike cut over thirty meters deep, the flames had been extinguished and the entirety of the damage had been mended just as fast as before.

While he hadnt made use of the full power of the Triflame Fan, the thickness of the wall caused him to pause.

Despite the attacks power, the strike had little effect. Even with a stronger ability, he doubted it would be able to break through the wall.

The full power of the Triflame Fan would likely cause a great scene and attract the attention of those ancient monsters. And if that still didnt break through the wall, he would find himself in a perilous situation.

Furthermore, he suspected it contained other restrictions lying in wait. If he were to break through and other restrictions were to lash out, he might as well have died right now.

With those considerations, Han Li relaxed his grip on the fan and his expression wavered.

Having remained somewhat dazed after seeing Long Meng, Silvermoon finally collected herself and said, This place isnt so simple. Itd be best if Master didnt take such risks!

Han Li smiled and moved to ask her something when his expression suddenly sank. He quickly turned around to face the raging winds and coldly said, What are you doing sneaking around? Dont blame me if I decide to attack.

With that said, he tightened his grasp on the Triflame Fan and a glowing light began to crawl across its surface.

Fellow Daoist Han, please wait. I know of your fans power and I dont wish to receive such a strike without reason. A mans voice sounded out and two white silhouettes appeared from the raging yellow winds: Grand Immortal Xu and Endless Sky Saintess Lin Yinping.

Han Li raised his brow and made no effort to conceal his surprise. But with an apathetic tone, he said, Oh? You want me to believe that you didnt come here with the intent of pursuing me?

With that said, he took a casual glance in the direction of the palace.

Storms of wind and black tornados had gathered around there, but there were cracks of thunder that could be faintly heard amidst the howling wind. Golden flashes also occasionally broke through the yellow winds.

It seemed the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation was as formidable as one would expect. Even under the relentless assault of the Black Wind Flag, it still managed to persevere. It was also unknown if the Eight Spirit Ruler would participated in the battle. But when he saw that the black-robed woman wasnt looking in their direction, he felt somewhat more at ease and turned his attention back to the two in front of him.

Having already anticipated his hostility, she opened a soundproofing barrier and calmly stated, There is no need to be like this. We didnt come here this time to find trouble, but to discuss a plan for survival.

Whats your plan? Han Lis heart stirred, but his face remained blank.

Why ask a question you already know the answer to? That flag isnt something that we would be able to compete with even if we all joined hands. Wouldnt it be better for us to escape while theyre distracted? Because time was short, Lin Yinping cut to the chase.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, So you dont intend on acquiring that Divine Spirit Treasure?

You must be joking. Grand Immortal Xu firmly stated, Whats the worth of a treasure if you dont have a body to use it? The Elder Devil Sacred Ancestor has been trapped in the pagoda for countless years and it should be weakened from captivity. Our Nascent Souls will be the ideal treat for restoring its strength. With only a casual attack, she will capture us without fail.

Then what do you suggest? Han Li had a faint guess on what they were going to say.

Grand Immortal Xu bluntly said, We will join hands, of course, and ambush the Elder Devil guarding the teleportation formation. Then we will make our escape.

With just us? Han Li scoffed, Do you know how fearsome that two-headed Elder Devil is?

Lin Yinping smiled in surprise and asked, Could it be that we wont be enough to take the devil down?

Stroking the fan in his hand, Han Li slowly said, In the past, three grand cultivators and a dozen more Nascent Soul cultivators pursued it, and it still managed to escape. Are you still confident after hearing that?

This Elder Devil was the one that escaped from your Heavenly South? Grand Immortal Xu spoke with alarm.

Thats correct.

Grand Immortal Xu and Lin Yinping exchanged a glance before sharing a trace of hesitation.

Then we will join in. That should be enough to push that devil back. A cold voice suddenly spoke from above them and the threes expressions vastly changed. Then, two flashes lit up from the yellow winds to reveal the Silver-winged Nightfiend and the Lion Hawk.

The two demons spiritual light wrapped around them, completely protecting them from the harmful winds. Their wind movement abilities allowed them to move as smoothly as a fish in the water through this raging storm..

So its you. That means you wish to join? After clearly seeing them, Han Li regained his calm.

The nightfiend bluntly said, Of course! We may not be of the same race, but the Elder Devil Sacred Ancestor wont care about that. It will be disastrous if we do not escape!

Good, with your assistance, we should be completely safe. There is no time to lose. Lets set off! Who knows how much time the spell formation and the Eight Spirit Ruler will buy us. Grand Immortal Xu then turned his head to look at Han Li with grimace. The two demons had done the same.

It was clear their alliance would only succeed with Han Lis agreement.

He silently bit his lip as he pondered, and eventually nodded. The two demons then took the opportunity to land at their side.

Having come to a decision, Han Li no longer hesitated and immediately held his hands in an incantation gesture. Then, Gui Lings Life-soul Tile began to tremble within him before shining with weak light.

A short moment later, a bright yellow light flashed at his side and Gui Ling emerged from the ground.

Han Li felt his breath turn cold.

This battle now exceeded the realm of Nascent Soul cultivators. It wasnt something that they could interfere with.

While his mind was now occupied with planning, a glint flashed from Gui Lings eye. She hesitated but eventually burrowed into the ground in a yellow streak.

Soon after, Han Li began to float erratically about, but something soon caught his attention.

In the space behind the two devils, there was an intact black-teleportation formation shrouded in flags.

That is… Han Li was immediately reminded of the other teleportation formation from the previous room.

Right after he found it, he met Grand Immortal Xus gaze and they both turned away. The two had the same idea in mind.

As for the black-robed woman wielding the Black Wind Flag, she wasnt standing idle during all this. She waved the banner down at palace in the center of the formation. The four-armed Elder Devil stood closely behind her and took out four common treasures of his own.

The two devils actions naturally incurred the wrath of the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation, violently engulfing the air in huge amounts of golden light.

The woman sneered and clasped the flag with both her hands. As it wildly sparkled with black light, an inky barrier emerged from it, covering both of the devils.

When the overbearing barrage of golden light touched the black barrier, they disappeared entirely from sight without damaging the mass as if they had been swallowed in the barriers depths.

Inside the barrier, the black-robed woman pushed forward and arrived within the boundaries of the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation.

The nine huge blades unanimously trembled, and suddenly clear rings filled the air with mysterious talisman characters. The huge blades quickly shank to a foot in size in the blink of an eye.

The blades then dazzlingly shined, filling the air with what seemed to be giant brilliant suns.

The womans expression fell solemn appeared on her calm face.

The black light barrier then increased several times in thickness and the surface became far smoother.

After a tense moment, the nine golden blades began to spin in the air as they made their way down.

With a brilliant glint, nine thin sword threads pierced the air and completely disappeared.

Suddenly, golden circles erupted from the devils black barrier. Golden light magnificently shone and completely enveloped the black light in every direction.

But what was most astonishing was that everything happened in complete silent.

Han Li took advantage of this chaos to observe at the others. Seeing that everyone was focused on what was happening, an odd expression momentarily appeared on his face and he secretly slid a pouch into his sleeve.

He held his hands behind his back as golden glitters fell down his sleeve and sank into the ground. In just a moment, he had released several thousands of his Gold Devouring Beetles and had them set up in preparation, with no one having discovered him. He then felt some small relief.

Back at the scene, the black-robed woman spoke with an indifferent tone, Collect.

A three-meter-wide black void appeared at the center of the golden lights.

When the anomaly appeared, the light poured into it like streams to a lake and none of it remained.

Then with a soft sigh, the void trembled out of existence, revealing the two devils once again.

The woman was holding the Black Wind Flag with a single hand. When she saw the golden sabers flash again in the distance to launch another attack, she spoke in the direction of the palace with a raised brow. Fellow Daoist Long Meng, its foolish to think that the Ninetruths Formation will exhaust my spiritual Qi. You should know that the Black Wind Flag is a rare spatial-type Divine Spirit Treasure. No matter how vicious the attacks may be, if they dont have the power to tear through space, you wont even touch me. If you are wise, then obediently come out. If you force me to charge in after you, you will not be let off lightly.

Long Mengs sweet laughter chimed out from the palace, What will you do then? Could it be youve changed your mind and would like us to become one?

Thats right. In truth, I wish to fuse back our souls!

Long Meng scoffed, What did you say? Devil, do you think that Ill believe you like some naive child?

Of course it wouldnt be the same as before, the black-robed woman said indifferently, Ill first be placing you under a few restrictions, guaranteeing that I will be the main soul. Then, she gently waved the flag, effortlessly creating a huge black circular void and devouring the attacks that the golden swords launched at her. However, she was forced to stop her advance for the time being to prevent any further restrictions from activating the golden sabers.

Are you dreaming? How could I agree to something so foolish! You think Ill come out to have you be the main soul, after youve already taken hold of my body? What are you scheming? Say it! Long Meng bewilderedly shouted.

The black-robed woman coldly explained, Since weve fused souls several times, you should know the truth. Regardless if I am the master of this body, I wont be able to display its great powers. It is only when we were fused that we were able to deal with the Deity Transformation-stage cultivator that entered. If you remain inside, youll be sealed by the cultivators of this world once more. It should be better to be rejoined with me.

Long Meng paused before breaking out into a sneer, Keke, I didnt expect that the grand commander of the Elder Devil invasion would fear a few trifling Deity Transformation cultivators. How laughable.

The black-robed woman calmly said, At that time, there was a passage between the holy realm and the mortal realm, and we could regularly return to restore our devilish Qi, allowing us to use our grand abilities with wanton disregard. Times have changed, along with the worlds origin Qi. No matter how powerful I may have been, I cant do much as I am now. I am at a loss of how to handle these fearsome Deity Transformation cultivators. Dont you feel the same? Werent you originally a late-Deity Transformation demon from the spirit realm? Can you even use even a fraction of that power in your current state?

I cannot agree to your delusions of being the main soul in MY body, Long Meng resolutely declared, Even if you are able to escape entrapment, what difference will it make for me? You may be able to forcefully control the Black Wind Flag for some time with your devilish Qi, but you cant even exert half its power. If you want to fuse your soul with mine, I will be the head. There is no alternative!

When the black-robed woman heard her, malice slowly crept onto her face.

It seems you are quite confident in the Eight Spirit Ruler and the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation. Since youve refused, it seems Ill have to personally restrain you and draw out the power from your primal soul. Not the most effective option, but Ill make do.

Having finished her threat, she glanced at Han Li and muttered a few commands at the Elder Devil. The devil nodded his head in response and shot out of the perimeter of the spell formation, instantly arriving before the black teleportation formation. He motionlessly floated above it as if he were guarding it.

The cultivators inwardly cursed at this. Their original plan to stealthily slip away had collapsed.

Han Li had expected this though, so he felt more at ease than the others. But to his surprise, the Silver-winged Nightfiend and the Lion Hawk faded to smoke in a series of blurs.

Grand Immortal Xu and Lin Yinping began to converse with voice transmission, each wearing a sullen expression.

The Ye Clan Grand Elder, however, he remained silent and idle.

Han Li frowned and his gaze fell onto the white-robed scholars face, sensing that there was something amiss.

After investigating for a moment more, he discovered that the man was actually an illusion formed from white light. As his heart trembled, he hastily looked around for him, but to his relief, he soon spotted him.

At the same time, the black-robed woman began to resist the onslaught of golden sword-threads, then fully unfolding the Black Wind Flag and tossing it high into the air. With her hands clutched in an incantation gesture, she began to utter an extremely strange spell.

A huge explosion sounded out, followed by the appearance of a ball of black wind.

The wind wildly expanded and coiled, turning into huge tornadoes reminiscent of the pillars of heaven itself. At the same time, countless dark yellow clouds began to coalesce in the sky. Bolts of lightning leapt across the clouds and soon struck down to the ground below.

The black tornados then roared as countless wind blades condensed together, filling the entire sky with scattered sand and stone.

Blinding azure light coated his body in a dense barrier, protecting both Silvermoon and himself, but when the strange yellow winds blew past him, his protections began to violently shake like a small boat in a raging storm.

Han Li tightly shut his mouth and his complexion blanched.

Under the control of the black-robed woman, the Black Wind Flags fearsome power was unfolding.

A deafening clang sounded out as the blades of golden light was repelled by the flick of a single finger belonging to a black-robed woman of incredible allure.

When Silvermoon saw her face, her body trembled and complexion paled.

Han Lis attention was first caught by the two-headed four-armed devil. The Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords within his body let out a series of cries, sensing the two flying swords that had been taken away. He should be the Elder Devil from the Devilfall Valley.

Then, he looked at the gorgeous woman standing in front of it, and couldnt sense even the faintest trace of magic power from her body, clearly indicating that her cultivation was on another realm entirely.

Han Li felt his blood run cold. His body blurred several times away, bringing Silvermoon to the edge of the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation before releasing her. Gui Ling had been silently following after him as well and couldnt help but take several odd glances at his spirit beast.

Silvermoon glanced at Han Li with a conflicted expression on her face and softly muttered, Many thanks, Master.

Be careful. Han Li frowned, now knowing that her identity was by no means simple.

Silvermoon nodded and turned to look at the beautiful woman with a sad expression.

Grand Immortal Xu and the Ye Clan Elders had also fled to the edge of the formation. Although they were wary of each other, they were mostly bewildered by what was happening to the ground.

What is going on? Devilish Qi is flaring from their bodies! a voice of disbelief sounded out from the Sun Moon Shuttle. Soon after, Lady Mus body blurred and she appeared above the treasure, holding the Dragon Call Seals dragon phantom in her hand.

However, the dragon phantom was now giving a far more violent reaction to this newly appeared group, compared to when it faced Long Meng.

Even if Lady Mu hadnt activated the treasure, the phantom wouldve summoned itself regardless.

At a loss of the current situation, Grand Immortal Xu coldly glanced at Lady Mu. In any case, the conflict had turned chaotic and devils were appearing, each new more vicious than the last. He already made up his mind to flee.

With that thought, his lips began to move as he sent voice transmissions towards the Endless Sky Saintess, Lin Yinping.

She tightly frowned and nodded, and Grand Immortal Xu began to float erratically in the air as he began to look around him.

In addition, the Ye Clan Elders were also alarmed by the appearance of the new devils and let go of any intention of acquiring the treasure. The Grand Elder gave the other two Ye Clan members a meaningful glance and they formed an incantation gesture. Their bodies then blurred before stealthily slipping away.

When the Silver-winged Nightfiend saw the womans face, he was stunned.

If it werent for the profuse devilish Qi emitting from her body, she appeared exactly like the original Fairy Ling Long. However, Silvermoon herself was at Han Lis side and her counterpart was possessing Hua Tianqi. Just who was the person before them. The nightfiend grew apprehensive and his eyes darted around, trying desperately to come up with some plans.

As for Lady Mu, when she glanced at the Dragon Call Crest in her hand, her expression wavered. Then with a stamp of her foot, the shuttle blurred and fell to the ground before disappearing into it.

Fool! The air and ground have restrictions placed down by the old occupants. There is no point in burrowing away, Gui Ling scoffed, viewing their actions with contempt.

That might not be so. Those two were rather mysterious and understand much of the mountain. Perhaps, they have a method to break through its restrictions, Han Li said with a flickering gaze. He then recalled the Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation, something that had been mentioned in a scroll he read in the past. Although it hadnt went into much detail, it was said to be the most powerful devil warding formation in the mortal world. In the ancient war against the devils, the human cultivators managed to use it to great effect.

With that thought, he hurriedly turned his attention back to the sky.

Ever since the gorgeous woman appeared, the nine huge blades released countless streaks of light, filling the air like a violent storm.

However, the woman was able to flick them away, displaying not even the slightest effort.

But as he observed with complete awe, he was able to see the truth. The woman was actually fearful of the spell formation, and was lingering at its edge. Additionally, she looked at the cultivators and demons with indifference. Only the Eight Spirit Ruler near the palace had captured her attention.

Ever since the second devil appeared, it began to hum and flash without end.

The black-robed woman then muttered a few inaudible words to the Elder Devil at her side.

Silvermoon, is that woman the incarnation of the Devil Ancestor Yuan Cha?

Having just recovered a significant portion of her memories, she shortly explained, Without a doubt. That person took form from the devil ancestors soul fragment. She was one of the three commanders of the Elder Devils invasion. At the time, she had slain countless humans.

The devil ancestors soul fragment? I heard that person say that your soul had been expelled from your body at the time. Could it be that she is using your body to…

With gritted teeth, Silvermoon said, Although I dont remember how she came to possess it nor how I turned into an artifact spirit, there is no doubt that is my original body.

Han Li looked at the black-robed woman and said, Oh, do you think youll be able to reclaim it? After all, you are the true owner of the body.

Master, dont forget that Ive already used the Soul Devouring Technique. After occupying this body for such a long time, how could I have the power to take back my original body? This isnt something that I would be able to accomplish in the mortal world. I would have to first return to the spirit realm. Furthermore, my spiritual sense is damaged, and my cultivation has dropped down to its lowest stage, and Ive forgotten a majority of my abilities. How could I possibly fight that demon, apart from… Silvermoon trailed off with hesitation.

Apart from? Han Li closely followed up.

Silvermoon sighed, Apart from joining hands with Long Meng. As you are well aware, I couldnt agree with this. She would likely seal me away after she expels the devil from our body and take control!

Han Li grew silent when he heard this.

At that moment, the four-armed and two-headed Elder Devil shouted out to the large-headed eccentric, Brother Ye, why are you hesitating? Since you arent able to kill the wolf soul, so long as you restrain the Eight Spirit Ruler, the sacred ancestor is willing to infuse your body with devilish Qi. Since your cultivation art isnt devilish, the masterless Divine Spirit Treasure shouldnt harm you.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and turned to look at ruler floating above the palace.

The eccentric wore a conflicted expression, but after a moments thought, he gritted his teeth and shot towards the ruler in a yellow streak.

As a result, the eccentric arrived before the treasure in the blink of an eye and the ruler hadnt reacted in the slightest.

He was relieved and overjoyed to see this and attempted to take it into his grasp.

You are truly quite bold! A cold snort sounded out from the hall. When the eccentric heard this, he shot to the side with an expression of shock.

Then, a huge force ruptured the air where he originally stood, tearing apart the top portion of the palace.

The large headed eccentrics expression turned ugly. freewebnove.com

Long Mengs voice coldly chimed, Old Devil, you dont need to use these juniors to pull some fast tricks. With me guarding the ruler, no one will be able to take the treasure without my permission. I didnt expect that youd be able to break free of the Black Wind flags. Now, the treasure that originally suppressed me has turned into a weapon against you!

The black-robed woman smiled and replied, Is that so? Unfortunately, I dont have the mind to continue playing with you much longer. Do you think a meager spatial wall can block the likes of me?

Afterwards, the woman suddenly shot over thirty meters away and was tangled up by the golden blades of light for just a moment before suddenly reaching her hand out into the air. The mist of black devilish Qi in the air suddenly began to form and condense together. It instantly disappeared, only to appear was a glossy black flag.

The flag circled once in the air before falling into the black-robed womans hand.

T-the Black Wind Flag? Impossible, you havent cultivated its treasure imprinting arts yet. How are you able to control it!? Long Meng shouted out.

Dont forget that I am the incarnation of a sacred ancestor. Even if it is a Divine Spirit Treasure, I can temporarily command it if I infuse it with my devilish Qi. The black-robed woman sweetly smiled and then waved the flag.

A muffled explosion sounded out and caused the entire air to trembled.

Han Li and the others suddenly felt the nearby space tense as if it had turned solid.

Silvermoons figure stood rigid and her complexion turned pale, but after taking another glance at Long Meng, her lips curled in a sneer.

You are me and I am you. If you let the others know, you wont be any better off. And that person may have married Ling Long, but he favored me most of all. Did you already forget who had helped me suppress you and forced you to eternally sleep in the body.

When Long Meng heard this, the smile on her face faded with every word to be replaced with a malevolent gaze. She coldly chuckled and pressed her hand onto the spell formation.

A huge explosion shook the air. The white teleportation formation that brought the cultivators there had collapsed into the ground, leaving behind a three-meter-deep hole.

Having just made their way to the teleportation formation, the Silver-winged Nightfiend and the Lion Hawk were appalled and stopped in their tracks.

Long Meng coldly glanced at them, Where do you think youre going? You look exactly like that Pill Scholar Kong Xuan, but your body is consumed by Corpse Qi. And you, your form has changed, but you should be the Lion Hawk that Kong Xuan raised. If I remember correctly, Kong Xuan shouldve died long before I was sealed. It seems the body he left behind gained consciousness and cultivated until it became a Silver-winged Nightfiend.

The nightfiends expression wavered before letting out a wry chuckle, I didnt expect that Fairy Ling Long would so easily see through our identities. In the past, I had seen you several times.

Dont say I, it was not you, but your previous incarnation. I must congratulate the Lion Hawk however. It was originally only a grade-seven demon beast. Now, it was able to ascend to grade-ten. If it managed to return to the Spirit Realm, it would gain quite some influence.

The nightfiend then regained his calm and said, No matter how it is spoken, I do remember your breath-taking beauty at the time. Why did you destroy the teleportation formation?

Isnt rude to leave so quickly after coming here. Perhaps Ill need to draw on your strength.

The nightfiends expression turned gloomy.

Although he didnt wish to remain, he wouldnt be able to find another way out with the formation in ruins. He simply turned his gaze away and remained silent for the time being.

Long Meng paid no further attention to the two demons when she saw this and instead turned her gaze on Grand Immortal Xu and the rest of the Ye Clan Elders. She sneered and said, Good, very good! I didnt expect there would be so many cultivators present, and their cultivation isnt weak either.

The Ye Clan Grand Elder then took the initiative to step forward and respectfully said, Regardless, Senior must be a character of exceptional standing in the Spirit Realm and you possessed Fellow Daoist Huas body. Our Ye Clan has opened Kunwu Mountains Seal for the purpose of the Divine Spirit Treasure. So long as Senior agrees to hand over the Eight Spirit Ruler to us, our Ye Clan will be certain to assist you in your escape.

How curious! I was going to make the offer first. Grand Immortal Xu chuckled with a false grin.

The two were both cunning. Seeing that Long Meng was an opponent they wouldnt be able to fight, they intended on winning her over.

Long Meng blinked and indifferently said, The Eight Spirit Ruler? If you have the ability, then go ahead and take it. I wont stop you.

The words shocked the two out of their planning and they couldnt help but exchange a bewildered look.

What, you seem a bit scared? Long Meng wore a mocking smile.

The two remained silent and still, not daring to take any rash action.

Lady Mu, who was sitting on the sidelines, wore a vigilant expression as soon as Long Meng had appeared. With a flick of her wrist, she summoned a storage pouch into her hand. Her actions were careful, fearing that the entity would discover her.

In the distance, the large-headed eccentric suddenly cried out, Since senior doesnt want the treasure, why did you block me when I tried to take it.

Long Meng stole a glance at the beaten man and casually said, The others can have the treasure, but only you cant!

Why!? The eccentric glanced at his stump of an arm with a resentful expression.

Pfft, isnt it obvious? Because you recently met with the incarnation of the Devil Ancestor Yuan Cha!

I dont know any of this! The eccentric flatly denied, but his heart was entirely shaken.

Although you were only together for a short time, its polluted your body with rare devilish Qi. I was able to see through it at a glance. Regardless if you concede this, when you saw that my soul box was vulnerable, you held malicious intentions! If it werent for how quickly I awakened this possessed body, I fear I wouldve fallen to your hands. Arent you quite bold to try using a Soul Extinguishing Talisman on me?

When the Clans Grand Elder heard this, he was stunned, but soon after hastily sent a few voice transmissions to the eccentric. However, the recipient remained silent as if he hadnt heard a thing.

The Grand Elders expression turned frigid.

Han Li then asked, Who is this Devil Ancestor Yuan Cha? Are they an Elder Devil?

Long Mengs expression faintly moved in response, but she soon raised her head and coldly giggled.

Han Li frowned. In truth, he felt that if the Elder Devil from the Heavenly South appeared in Kunwu Mountain, it was more than likely that he had some relation to this Yuan Cha.

As he pondered this to himself, the entire area was filled with silence. A short moment later, a soft voice eventually spoke up, Everyone, please dont be deceived. This woman isnt some demon from a higher realm. She is clearly the incarnation of the Elder Devil Sacred Ancestor. If you step forward and take the Eight Spirit Ruler, the devil will be unleashed, bringing calamity upon the mortal world.

The one who spoke was the Immortal Form Sects Lady Mu. She was holding a several-inch large jade seal in her hand. Its surface twinkled with rays of light, creating the illusion of a real dragon. The image caused Long Meng to grimace with rage as if she were seeing something she loathed completely.

The Dragon Call Crest!

Her expression held vast rage and she immediately held out her hand to Lady Mu.

With a crackle, a huge force tore through the air and attempted to crush her from above.

In her alarm, Lady Mu hastily raised the seal.

Suddenly, a dragons roar called out and ten dragon phantoms suddenly soared from the crest to meet the invisible force head-on.

A huge boom shook the air, white light radiating from the impact.

Lady Mu and her junior martial sister made use of this opportunity, releasing a silver and golden streak of light to form the Sun Moon Shuttle, entering it in a blur.

Long Meng tensely frowned at this development and spat out a silver beam of light towards them.

A shocking scene occurred. The phantom of a strangely-scaled huge deer suddenly appeared from the grand formation surrounding them and absorbed the beam of light into its stomach. Afterwards, it disappeared without a trace.

The Eightcorn Deer!

In her alarm, she quickly looked at the Eight Spirit Ruler. While it remained floating in the air, it had begun to shake at an unknown time. Each of its trembles released a ball of seven-colored light, and the eight spirit beast phantoms began to form around the ruler with distinct detail as if it were on the verge of activating.

Long Mengs expression turned sour when she saw this, and her entire body flashed with silver light before shooting into the palace without another word.

The Eight Spirit Ruler suddenly released an ear-piercing drone, followed by bright light flashing from the spell formation. The ground quaked and nine cracks split open, making way for nine more altars to emerge.

These altars were several times larger than what was originally surrounding the palace, and each had a shimmering golden blade enshrined on them. However, these blades were far larger, spanning over thirty meters in scope as if they were pillars themselves.

When the Ye Clan Grand Elder Saw this, he immediately shouted out, The Ninetruths Devil Suppression Formation!

Han Li had already predicted that things were turning for the worse, and grabbed Silvermoons arm to pull her back, but when he heard what the Ye Clan Grand Elder said, something lit up in his mind.

He felt as if he heard the name before, but he didnt have the time to consider it. Black light flickered from the air and countless strands of black devilish Qi began to emerge from the earth like evil pythons.

With a series of howling cackles, a four-armed and two-headed devil emerged from the black Qi and floated in the air.

Then, Nine of the huge golden blades flared and their edges released a dense barrage of light, leaving behind a golden mist that seemed to fill the air itself and fiercely suppress the figure.

The devils wild laughter came to an abrupt stop and he immediately retreated with a faceful of terror.

But suddenly, the blades of light flashed and strangely warped above the devils head and fiercely chopped down to follow him.

Golden light and devilish Qi met one another, resulting in a huge impact.

A fair and seductive figure had appeared just in time in front of the devil and blocked the blades of light with a single finger.

When Han Li heard this, his heart trembled and he hastily looked at the palaces spell formation center.

The building appeared exactly the same as it had before. frewenovel.com

Confused, he thought to ask Silvermoon another question when an enormous pressure surged from the palace hall, followed by a heart-rattling explosion. Yellow light shot out from the top of the hall, a large hand moving to grab the Eight Spirit Ruler.

All of the cultivators present were shocked by this and several of them even yelped in surprise.

At that moment, a sweet playful laugh echoed from the palace. Then, the space around the Eight Spirit Ruler began to fluctuate before a silhouette with disheveled hair appeared.

He opened his mouth as soon after, releasing a ray of light that flashed like lightning, striking the hand and easily penetrating it.

A miserable screech sounded out and the large hand quickly disappeared. Soon after, a silhouette wrapped in yellow light flew up and quickly shot away.

The disheveled figure chuckled and flickered in an inhuman blur. It somehow stretched itself over thirty meters away in instant pursuit.

The person in yellow light was greatly alarmed and he released a crimson arrow from his mouth.

This was an attack formed from blood essence and was incredibly fast, but the other person simply blurred from sight and the arrow passed through its body as if it were an illusion,

A miserable scream immediately called from the yellow silhouette and soon, he employed an unknown secret technique, scattering himself into mist before condensing back together a distance away.

At that moment, his complexion was deathly pale and body bloodstained. There were several long claw marks raking his body and one of his arms was a bloody stump.

Seventh Uncle!

The Ye Clan Elders shouted out with disbelief at his appearance.

This sorry figure was the large-headed eccentric. The Ye Clans Grand Elder was particularly shocked by his sudden appearance.

Although Han Li and the others didnt know the identity of this person, a sweep of their spiritual sense revealed that he was a late-Nascent Soul cultivator. As a result, their shock was no lesser than the others.

As for the disheveled figure that chased after him, his hair covered his face, but from his appearance, it vaguely matched that of the grand elder of the Sacred Poison Sect, Hua Tianqi. However, the words that left his mouth spoke with the charming voice of a young woman.

If it werent for the vast abilities of those gathered and the presence of the Eight Spirit Ruler, Han Li wouldve fled.

When the other cultivators saw that something was amiss, they all looked at the disheveled man with baffled gazes.

He was able to reduce a late-Nascent Soul cultivator to such a miserable state. Could he be a Deity Transformation cultivator?

As the thought flashed through their minds, they felt their hearts drop.

But when this mysterious figure noticed that the large-headed eccentric escape, he let out a cold chuckle and pursued him no further and instead turned his attention to the others outside of the spell formation.

His gaze was as cold as a sharp blade, inspiring a fearsome awe in their souls as it swept past them. The weakest amongst them swayed and was staggered a few steps back before managing to regain their balance.

Han Li inwardly cursed as blue light shined from his eyes, hastily channeling the Brightsight Spirit Eyes to block the effect. But when the mans gaze swept past him, Han Li felt as if was immersed in ice and his complexion paled.

Yi! You are… A womans voice yelped from the mysterious figure and his gaze focused on Han Li. He seemed to be looking at him in disbelief.

At that moment, his storage pouch stirred and a white light shot out, circling once in the air before landing in front of him.

In a silver flash, the summoned fox took the form of a beautiful young woman in white robes.

It really is you! When the mysterious person saw Silvermoon, his body shook and he raised his head, revealing his true face.

Hua Tianqi! The surrounding cultivators were thrown back into an uproar.

Apart from his now jade eyes, the rest of his appearance hadnt changed at all. He was also now staring at Silvermoon with an odd expression.

When the other cultivators saw this odd scene, they were at a complete loss.

With their vast experience, they knew Hua Tianqi had been possessed. As for the identity of the possessor, it was a complete mystery.

The large-headed eccentric took this opportunity to stealthily retreat, at the same time quickly swallowing a medicine pill and placing several talismans on his stumped arm. It was instantly restored in a sudden flash of white.

Afterwards, he raised his head and took another look at the possessed man.

Under the current circumstances, Han Li narrowed his eyes as thoughts rushed through his head.

Whatever was possessing him had most likely summoned Silvermoon there. However, he didnt know what relationship it had to Silvermoon. Could it be a friend or foe?

The shock on Hua Tianqis face faded away and he indifferently said, Xue Ling! You shouldve found this place many years ago. I didnt expect you to arrive now. Why has your aura become so much weaker… and why are you possessing the body of a Four Pupiled Fox? Dont you believe this to be an insult to our status as Heavenly Silvermoon Wolves?

Silvermoon brushed away the hair from her face and remained silent for a long while before doubtfully saying, Are you Ling Long?

When the person heard this, a strange expression appeared on his face. He stared at Silvermoon for a moment more before letting out a soft and sweet laugh.

I didnt expect that the greatest beauty of our race, the beloved concubine of the Divine Wolf Tian Kui, had lost her memory. I shouldve guessed as much. Sacred Ancestor Yuan Chas incarnation had forced your soul from our body at the time. It is no surprise it hadnt come out entirely intact. My fine little sister, Im not Ling Long, Im Long Meng!

When this sweet and charming voice spoke from what appeared to be a man, it gave an odd dissonance.

Han Li frowned and had a faint feeling that things would develop poorly.

Although he didnt know what relation Silvermoon had with this woman, he faintly heard a trace of schadenfreude directed at her.

Silvermoon tensely frowned and stared at Long Meng for a long while, her expression wavering as if something had come to mind.

Your words had stirred up a few memories, though they are still very vague. If I am correct, then we are the same.

Long Mengs voice turned icy, Humph! So you do remember. In truth, we were originally one person named Ling Long, but when our past self dealt with her fifth thousand-year tribulation, she cultivated the supreme secret technique of our Silvermoon Wolf Clan. But she had made a mistake halfway through and her soul split in two, resulting in the creation of us. However, your primal soul was stronger and you had acted as the master, suppressing me into eternal sleep. But now, matters have turned around. With your primal soul being so pathetic, I can finally eradicate you.

Silvermoons face tensed but her expression soon grew calm. Although I dont remember much, I do recall the Bloodbite Soul Imprint. You cannot kill me. If I truly die, you will have nowhere to go.

Long Mengs expression grew sullen and green light brightly burst from her eyes. Silvermoon immediately let out a yelp, her body trembling as a huge invisible force struck her.

Han Li pursed his lips and reached out to the air without another thought.

Suddenly, a large azure hand appeared behind her and dragged Silvermoon out from the attack.

Long Meng was startled by this and soon furiously glared at Han Li.

Not good! Han Li hastily raised his hand and produced the enlarged form of the Tailstar Essence Shield in front of him.

A huge explosion shook the air. The surface of the shield violently flashed and several-inch-large indents caved into it. Han Li felt his breath turn cold.

When the others nearby heard their conversation, they felt as if they had been drenched under a waterfall. The scene had caused them to become restless.

Ever since Hua Tianqi appeared, the Silver-winged Nightfiend and the Lion Hawk were completely perplexed, but after hearing their names, they instantly wore an expression of terror. After briefly exchanging a few words, they stealthily withdrew back in the direction of the exit.

When Long Meng saw that her strike wasnt effective, she felt a bit of surprise. However, something came to mind when she thought to attack again. She glanced at him and then at Silvermoon before letting out a smile.

Xue Ling! Your scent is heavily present on him and you previously emerged from his spirit beast pouch. Could it be youve become his spirit beast.

And so what if I did? Silvermoon coldly replied. A dark expression momentarily appeared on her face.

Long Meng let out a fit of sweet laughter and sinisterly said, If thats the case, I must congratulate this person. Even the three emperors of the Spirit Realm wouldnt dare to think of having the beloved concubine of Demon King Tian Kui become their spirit beast.

A long sigh was carried by the wind, echoing throughout the deep ice walls.

Fellow Daoist Hu, I dont remember inviting you here. Werent you cultivating at Devil Cliff Mountain? Just what are you doing at Ice Soul Valley?

The old grey-robed old man snorted and unhappily said, You think I want to be here? Its about Kunwu Mountain.

A neutral voice echoed back, Oh, Kunwu Mountain! Didnt we already leave this matter to our disciples? Whats left to talk about it?

The grey-robed old man sullenly said, If only it were so simple… you might not know this, but that Old Ghost Xian had met mishap on the mountain.

Old Ghost Xian!? Are you sure? Of all the old coots left, he was the strongest among us. The voice shouted with disbelief.

The grey-robed old man coldly answered, Im not too sure myself, but Old Eccentric Feng personally reported it to me with his flying sword. You should understand that he had always been good friends with that old ghost and that they exchanged primal soul pearls. Recently, Kunwu Mountain made an appearance into the world, and Old Ghost Xiang happened to be nearby, but not long after he entered, his primal soul pearl fell dim. If he isnt grievously injured, then he must be trapped in a restriction of some kind. In any case, he isnt in a good spot.

After a short pause, he continued, And just as it so happens, a great problem has come to find Old Eccentric Feng and he isnt able to personally go and assist. As such, hes requested that we go take a look. He said hes willing to give us two Blood Qi Pills as compensation.

Two? How generous! That pill will lengthen our lifespan for tens of years. But how did Eccentric Feng know that Ghost Xiang entered the mountain? The voice asked with a cautious tone.

That old ghost has always been cunning. Whenever he sets out to do something, he leaves behind a contingency plan in case anything happens. Before he entered Kunwu Mountain, he sent a message to Eccentric Feng with a flying sword. It seems his actions had proved fruitful and now were here to save him. How about it? Would Fellow Daoist Bai be interested in taking a look? It would take us quite some time to refine those on our own, the old man spoke enticingly.

The voice then paused in thought. Not long after, he then said, Ill leave it alone. You can go, but I wont follow.

What? Does the Blood Qi Pill really not tempt you? The old man asked with surprise.

The voice coldly replied, I am indeed tempted, but I fear what I encounter isnt worth the risk.

What do you mean? Even if that devil truly escaped confinement, if we join hands, we have nothing to fear.

What is there to fear? No matter how fierce it has been in the past, after being suppressed for so many years, its abilities shouldnt be much higher than our own. It cant have been as domineering as it had in ancient times, daring to use Spatial Tempering Stage abilities in the mortal world.

Then why not go? The old man frowned.

If I hadnt taken the Fire Essence Jujube, perhaps. But now that I am using the fruit to break through my bottleneck, I cant miss this opportunity, no matter how minor the changes may be.

The old mans expression revealed alarm, The spiritual item you acquired was… did you take it directly?

Of course, thats the only way to receive sufficient fire spiritual power!

A glint flashed from the old mans eye and he sullenly said, You actually did! Dont you know that fruits spiritual power is overbearing if you dont refine it into a pill? It is enough to ignite the magic power in your body. Hadnt we become all too familiar with the dangers the last time we met?

I am well aware. But if I dont take the risk, I could perish within these walls of ice. Or perhaps I will take Ghost Xiang and Eccentric Fengs example, and let go of my grand abilities to play the fool. Mingle with low-grade cultivators in fear that using too much magic power would take my life, the voice said with a mocking tone.

Brother Bais words are a bit harsh. They are only doing that in order to find the reverse spirit streams that the spirit world cultivators used in the past to descend into this world. Without reaching late-Deity Transformation stage, we will need to use these passages to ascend. After all, the cultivators of the higher realms were capable of suppressing their magic power and forcefully descend onto our world. If we find these passages, we can temporarily raise our magic power and use them to enter the spirit realm.

Ever since the world changed in the past, countless of our fellow Deity Transformation brethren went searching throughout most of the mortal world for any reverse spirit streams. If any existed, they shouldve been found by now, or they could be located in the far reaches of the ocean, meaning they could hardly be found at all.

Perhaps. But in any case, pursuing our only hope of ascending to the spirit realm is better than sitting around dying. The grey-robed old man wore a helpless expression.

Rather than looking for reverse spirit streams, wouldnt it be better to cultivate to late-Deity Transformation stage? But if it werent for the ancient devil realms wickedness in having our worlds strength turning sparse, we wouldnt be stuck at this stage to begin with, the man chimed resentfully.

There is no use in cursing them, Brother Bai, the old man gloomily said, With the last of the ancients that had ascended, it will be some time until the next cultivator manages to reach late-Deity Transformation stage and ascend, and even then, their numbers will be incredibly few in comparison to ancient times. Recently, the situation has turned even worse. In nearly ten thousand years, not a single cultivator managed to ascend. Not one. It is no wonder Eccentric Feng and the others wanted to put their trust into finding a reverse spirit stream.

They can do whatever they please. As for me, Ill be cultivating in seclusion. Lets end our talk here, you already know what I intend to do. Either refuse Eccentric Fengs request or head out on your own. Forgive me for not personally sending you off. Ah, In the future, I will be asking my disciples to seal off this valley. I wont be seeing anybody else until I fully refine the jujube. Make sure to inform the others. After that, the voice ceased speaking and silence filled the air.

The old man wore a sullen expression and lingered near the ice for a moment more before stamping down his foot. For two Blood Qi Pills, I only need to risk danger once. The extra hundred years of life should be more than enough to compensate for my loss of origin essence. With that muttered, his body glowed in green light and he shot out from the ice valley.

…

In front of the palace on the eighth floor of the Devil Suppressing Pagoda, Han Li expressionlessly held his hands in an incantation gesture and combined a dozen of his flying swords as they let out a resounding hum, instantly turning them into a ten-meter-long cleaver that flashed down at the palace in golden light.

With a huge boom, the sword cleaved through a white jade statue and shattered it to dust.

Its remains faintly shook before ultimately lying still.

Han Li faintly nodded, then commanding his sword to return. This was the fourth statue that he had thoroughly destroyed. rewebnovel.com

The great formation around the palace seemed to make the statues undying, but in truth, they stopped regenerating after better shattered several times.

However, this was only possible with a great number of Nascent Soul cultivators attacking the formation simultaneously. If it were only a couple, it would take far too much magic power to entirely eliminate the formation.

As for the golden sabers the stone statues wielded, they were made from a material unknown to him. Not only were they incredibly incisive, they all also had devilbane properties.

But what particularly caught his attention was the blades of light that the sabers released. The cultivators of devil techniques wouldnt dare to approach them as they would be able to penetrate through devilish Qi as if it were thin air.

As for those that wished to enter, the statues would ignore those on the outside and simultaneously release a combined attack in the direction of the trespasser, forcing them to flee back as the attack seemed to cover every angle.

And as it turned out, the spell formation was an overlap of several kinds of restrictions. Even after destroying the main body, they wouldnt be able to rush in.

Of course, no one was about to take this risk and simply bore through attacking the statues nearby. After they were finished being destroyed, they would be able to tear down the rest of the formation with less effort.

After Han Li struck the statue in front of him, he suddenly frowned and looked around. He only saw a few more puppets that still moved.

When he thought that, Silvermoon suddenly yelped from his mind and began to sob in pain.

In his alarm, he couldnt help but ask, Whats going on? Is there something wrong? His voice carried a tone of concern.

It… isnt important… There is something in the palace that has awakened. It gives me an important, strange feeling as if it is familiar?… Ah, my head! After forcing out those few words, all Silvermoon could do was groan.
