Since youre me and Im you, why must I obey your orders now that Ive gained my own consciousness. And in the Sacred Realm, it wasnt rare for a soul fragment to devour the original. You shouldve realized this when you released me by myself. The Elder Devil with the single head spoke with a calm tone.

The two-headed devils expression turned fierce. Thats right, I had expected this. However, I didnt think youd manage to attract human cultivators to my body and use Dissolution Transformation on my sealed body to create a new one. Could it be you didnt know that while this was capable of dispelling the curse, it would greatly damage my bodys vitality and decrease my cultivation by a third. Do you know what this means?

The human form Elder Devil scoffed and said with a disdainful tone, Your body? What are you going on about? I was originally a portion of your soul, so why cant I use the body as I wish. As for the loss of a third of the bodys cultivation, so long as I devour you, Ill be able to remain in the mortal world and evade those willfully ignorant cowards, become free and unfettered.

When the time is right, Ill open up an ancient passage to the Sacred Realm. And as a result of this grand accomplishment, I may even become a member of the Sacred Ancestors. What will a bit of lost cultivation matter then?

When the two-headed devil saw this, he knew there was no turning back and said little else. Since the second devil soul that he had cultivated is betraying him, they would have to attempt to ease the others spiritual sense as there could only be one main soul in this world.

Of course, the two-headed devil had no choice in the matter except to fight. Since the main soul was incapable of escaping the restrictions in this area, he couldnt risk allowing his soul fragment to escape as well. Although he was now outmatched, his soul remnant had made a mistake.

Although his soul fragment had seized the devil body and his cultivation nor his devilform body could compare, he had placed a restriction on his soul fragment in his capacity as the main soul. While he didnt know how much of this restriction had been dissolved, it would decide the coming battle between then.

With that thought, the Elder Devil suddenly turned one of its heads around and looked at the crowd of cultivators. He then said, Lets devour the cultivators Nascent Souls first and put off our business for later. Then we can have an uninterrupted battle on who will be the subordinate. I dont want to give these humans any chance of taking advantage of the chaos. Surely you will agree.

Of course. Ive now dissolved a majority of the restrictions on my body. Even if you didnt attack, I could kill them all by myself. The Elder Devils soul remnant spoke calmly, and he opened his eyes entirely, revealing blinding red-purple light.

The Elder Devil coldly chuckled and he unconsciously turned his sights on Han Li. Dont overestimate yourself. There are a few cultivators among them that will prove particularly troublesome.

The Elder Devil opened his mouth and spat out a long purple tongue as if in objection to this statement.

When the cultivators saw the two-headed Elder Devil reveal itself, they were somewhat surprised but they only grew more shocked as they heard their conversation. It seemed the two devils were originally a master and soul fragment. But now, the soul fragment was now the main soul now that it had seized the original body and they were at irreconcilable odds.

Ancestor Lingu and Senior Martial Brother Cheng were both secretly delighted at first when they heard this. If the two devils were to battle first, they could take advantage of the fight, but this suddenly changed when the two devils decided to unite to deal with the cultivators.

Han Lis mind quickly churned and he turned to Wei Wuya, saying, Fellow Daoist Wei, Ill have to trouble you with delaying the main devil. These two will assist you while I and the others will deal with the two-headed devil. This is all we can hope in order to save ourselves. Han Li nodded to Ancestor Linghu and the white woman, indicating for them to help Wei Wuya.

Wei Wuya wore a bitter smile when he realized what Han Li meant and said, I will do the best I can. However, he has already dissolved most of the restrictions on his body, and I dont know how much longer I can endure. The most time he could buy, the more cultivators that would arrive.

Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman raised no objections to being ordered around by Han Li. After all, strength was what decided seniority in the cultivation world.

As soon as Han Li finished the speaking, the two devils took action, without waiting for any further discussion to take place between the cultivators.

The main Elder Devil spun and devilish light began to shine from his body, suddenly dimming the sky before black-purple light massively surged throughout the sky and quickly tainted its color.

The main devil had remained in place as the light formed a curtain of light and spread outward. As for the two-headed devil, he wore an odd expression and his body blurred before disappearing from sight.

When the cultivators saw this, they knew the battle had begun. Regardless of what they had originally intended to do, they could only summon a brave face going forward.

Wu Wuyas body shined with green light and the cloud surrounding him began to roil and surge. Over ten flood dragons were formed from the poison clouds and they charged forward with bared fangs and claws, occasionally slowed down by the vast influence of the devilish light.

Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman exchanged a glance why they saw this and they flew directly to Wei Wuyas side. The white-clothed woman took out her Statis Light Mirror and released a dense beam of rainbow light. It clashed against the devils light screen before slowing down.

With Ancestor Linghus ring ancient treasure sized, he could only take out his jade scepter and a small jade stamp block. It struck the devilish light screen in a streak of green with massive momentum.

From how the two saw it, Wei Wuya might be heavily injured, but he was one of the most powerful cultivators in the Heavenly South whose name had resounded for several hundred years. Compared to Han Li, he was the more reliable choice to assist. At the very least, they wouldnt have to deal with that two-headed devils bizarre concealment techniques. The two had no chance of breaking through it, so it was a bit safer to face the other devil while under the protection of Wei Wuyas poison mist.

In the blink of an eye, the two entered the green mist. Wei Wuya had opened a passageway, granting them a safe entrance.

Han Li paid no further attention to these two cultivators. Instead, he glanced over at his Senior Martial Brother Chengs party of cultivators and was soon stunned.

He saw that they werent able to protect themselves in time as the devilish purple-black light enveloped them. But as the three were vastly experienced and were Nascent Soul cultivators, they had methods to protect themselves. Of course, the three cultivators and the two puppets gathered together and assumed a five pointed protective formation. They released their own protective treasures, transforming into balls of flickering light that condensed into a dense multi-layered barrier.

The two sinister puppets even opened their mouths and blew out a grey Yin Qi to conceal the five within it.

At that same time, Han Li heard his Senior Martial Brother Cheng send him a voice transmission, Junior Martial Brother Han, the devil seems formidable. Wouldnt it be safer to

When Han Li heard this, he bitterly smiled. It seemed these three had their own methods to protect himself. He wouldnt have to be worried much over protecting his Senior Martial Brother Cheng.

Although this method appeared to be safer, this required the party of cultivators performing this to be well suited to one another as they were each restraining one another. If one wasnt used to joining hands with others, it was better to move alone.

With that thought, the curtain of devilish light had arrived at Han Li.

Han Li frowned and azure light flashed, covering him in a layer of azure light. Afterward, he raised his hands and pointed his fingers to the light screen. Over ten three-meter-long streaks of azure sword Qi weaved right and left as they shot out, easily breaking the black-purple light screen into pieces.

When Han Li saw this, he immediately glanced around and sighed with a tone of helplessness. Although the devilish light screen above his head was already broken, he was surrounded by the black-purple light everywhere else around him.

At that moment, the Elder Devils devilish light screen had spread over five kilometers in radius in a display of astonishing momentum. Han Li felt his actions slowed and the devilish light screen flashed with light, recovering from the damage that Han Li inflicted upon it.

In addition to releasing the Bluelight Shield, Han Li gave himself an additional barrier of light to protect himself and did nothing else as he was submerged by the black-purple radiance.

His gaze flickered around him and he frowned, having discovered nothing. He didnt believe that the Elder Devil had released this giant light barrier for nothing. And as he had predicted, he suddenly sensed something and his expression turned gloomy.

Although there was nothing strange about his body, he discovered the purple-black light screen was draining his magic power through his barriers of light. Although the amount was minute, it would wear away at his strength given enough time.

In his alarm, Han Li gripped his fists and mulled over the matter before suddenly releasing dense bolts of lightning from his hand. Lightning flashed and entered his two barriers of light before rupturing.

Loud electric surges sounded out and the azure and blue barriers of light surrounding him were covered in countless fine arcs of golden lightning. The devilish light then withdrew as if scared away.

Han Li sighed with relief and his thoughts began to turn. The Sovereign Devil Corpse and his puppets then moved forward as he was escorted in the middle. The huge tortoise puppets began to condense icy Qi and produce huge translucent ice spikes from his back.

While these actions all didnt seem like much, this had all occurred in the blink of an eye.

Blue light then flashed from Han Lis eyes, making full use of his Brightsight Spirit Eyes, and he felt his heart thump after looking around him.

Han Li kept the Sovereign Devil Corpse and his puppets at his side, and even released a dozen huge tortoise puppets at his side as he flew towards the battle.

As Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman followed after them, they were both surprised and felt a bit of relief. Although the puppets didnt amount to much alone, when combined in the numbers of several tens and expertly used, they could forcefully distract an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.

While they both felt a bit more relieved at the sight of this, Ancestor Linghu felt a pang of envy and the white-clothed woman was intimidated. To think that Han Li still has even more moves hidden. What a profoundly mysterious character.

In the blink of an eye, Han Li quickly closed the five kilometer distance from the battle. He then slowly came to a stop when he arrived about three hundred meters away and examined what happening.

Now that he was nearby, he discovered that there were countless tentacles formed from black-purple devilish radiance and were wildly fluttering about. There were also a devil that appeared at the center of the purple light, the source of the devilish Qi.

The devil had a malevolent face anda horn growing out of its forehead, bearing a striking resemblance to the two-headed four-armed devil. However, his body appeared to be purely human, and his skin appeared to be smooth and translucent as finely carved jade.

At that moment, the devil had his eyes closed and displayed no trace of emotion as if were asleep. But what was strange was how thunderous roars occasionally escaped from his abdomen despite clearly have his mouth shut. From this sound along, it appeared as if the devil was furious, but his face was completely still.

The devils arms were mechanically flinging balls of of pitch-black flames down to the green cloud below. The balls of flame moved stiffly as if they were slowed down.

But in contrast to their unremarkable appearance, these black fireballs released thirty-meter-wide waves of flame upon rupturing, scattering away most of the green clouds that were nearby.

However, Wei Wuyas green cloud of poison wasnt to be underestimated. It trembled several times before launching a counterattack to eliminate the black fireballs, a continuous barrage of countless snakes made from green poisonous Qi. However, this was done in vain as they all ruptured in midair before they could reach the devil within the purple light.

As a result, green clouds, weird radiance, and black devilish flames intertwined and occasionally released explosions in the air.

Soon, Ancestor Linghu arrived at Han Lis side and saw the devil in the air. With an expression of surprise, he happily said, Whats going on here? The devil seems to have not yet awaken, or maybe the body is under some sort of restriction? Anyways, this a great opportunity.

Han Li shook his head. As he continued to survey his surroundings, he said, If it were so easy, Fellow Daoist Wei wouldve already have killed him rather than painstakingly remain hidden within the poison cloud. There seems to be more something profound happening. It also stands to mention from this devils much more powerful devilish Qi that there is some sort of relationship to the devil that had flown away, not forgetting that it is also much more powerful.

Puzzled, he wasnt able to find any trace of the devilfied Marquis Nanlong. But suddenly, his gaze focused on Senior Martial Brother Chengs party. When they arrived, they appeared even more surprised.

When Senior Martial Brother Cheng saw Han Li, delight appeared on his face, but for some unknown reason, he simply nodded to Han Li with a smile.

When Han Li saw this, he wryly smiled and reluctantly him the first voice transmission, Senior Martial Brother Cheng, youve come at a bad time. This devil is extremely dangerous. Even Wei Wuya might not prove to be his opponent. There is also a different devil nearby, with two heads and four arms.

Alarmed, Senior Martial Brother Cheng quickly replied through a voice transmission, What? That cloud belongs to Fellow Daoist Wei Wuya, and there is another monster? Since you are aware of what is happening, could it be youve already fought?

Ive already exchanged blows with the other devil. Although I dont know its true strength, it shouldnt be below a late Nascent Soul cultivator. If we join hands, we may be able to barely deal with it. Additionally, this devil is capable of consuming Nascent Souls, is adept in concealment techniques, and can move with immense speed. Take care! We should join hands if it does attack us. That way, well have a better chance.

I got it. Ill discuss it with the two Fellow Daoists at my side. Senior Martial Brother Cheng heart sank and he turned around to speak with the two cultivators at his side, informing them of what Han Li had told him.

Daoist Heavencrystal has already recognized Han Li and appeared shocked when he saw the thirty tiger demon and tortoise puppets at his side. At that moment, he smiled at Han Li before starting a discussion with Senior Martial Brother Cheng.

As for the wrinkly old man at their side, he glanced in Han Lis direction with an astonished expression when heard Han LIs name. Although he was a Nascent Soul eccentric that had remained isolated from the outside world for many years, even he had heard of Han Lis new and grand rise to fame, not to mention that Han Li was the Junior Martial Brother of his good friend. Curiosity in his heart, he nodded towards Han Li with a calm expression.

As for Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman, they werent particularly famous nor did they have any relationship with the other party of cultivators, but they were allied to Han Li. As such, they all agreed to join hands in the fight against these fearsome devils.

Then, Wei Wuya spoke with a sullen and hoarse voice, Fellow Daoist Han? It is great that you were able to arrive in time. This monster is an Elder Devil that had invaded our mortal realm during the age of antiquity. They are an arch enemy of all human cultivators. I didnt expect that there was one sealed inside Devilfall Valley. It was unintentionally released by Fellow Daoists Wang Tiansheng and Wang Tiangu, and they perished in the spatial tear collapse when the devil was unsealed. I was only able to to survive from luck, but I greatly injured my vitality in the process, I wont be able to hold him off for long. Fortunately, the ancient cultivators placed a seal on his body, but he is currently dissolving it with devilfire. Fellow Daoists, you must stop him or this devilish monster will slay everyone inside Devilfall Valley without resistance.

Wei Wuyas voice was filled with worry and anxiousness, as if his injuries were severe. Afterwards, the green cloud roiled at its center to reveal Wei Wuya with a deathly pale complexion and dim eyes.

When Han Li heard this, he cursed in his heart. He originally intended to provide assistance to Wei Wuya, but it seemed they were the main force in this attack. This was trouble!

Ancestor Linghu and the others each looked at each other with dismay, all knowing that things were far from good. Since even Wei Wuya didnt prove to be a match for the devil, how would they be any different? But if they fled, Wei Wuya could plummet their standing in the cultivation world of the Heavenly South once he made the information known they had abandoned a righteous cause. After all, this wasnt a fight between cultivators where one could flee without blame, but one against Elder Devils.

As if seeing the awkwardness of this situation, Wei Wuyas voice softened and he said, Dont worry, Ive already scanned my spiritual sense into the difference. So long as you delay this devil, other Fellow Daoists will quickly come. And not long before, Ive already sent a voice transmission talisman to the Moulan. Given how they wish to position themselves in the Heavenly South, there is no way they wont come.

Han Li and the others were relieved to hear this. Although they might not be the Elder Devils match, delaying him for a moment should be possible.

However, the devil that was floating in the black devilish Qi seemed to understand what they were saying. His half-closed eyes trembled and an icy glint flashed by. His hands ceased as he slowly raised his head to examine his surroundings.

The devils eyes brushed by then and black-purple radiance continuously shined around him, raising a chill down the cultivators backs. They felt their hearts drop as if they were being glared at like prey.

However, Han Li cultivated the Great Development Technique and was able to resist most of this effect with his vast spiritual sense. Although he felt unwell, he was still able to look at the Elder Devil with the Brightsight Spirit Eyes. If he deliberately avoided his gaze, he feared that a show would remain in his heart and cause him to hesitate in his battle against the devil.

When the Elder Devil saw Han Lis defiant gaze, he felt somewhat surprised and his icy gaze examined Han Li once through as Han Li continued to silently stare back.

Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman originally stood at Han Lis side, but when the Elder Devils gaze fell upon Han Li, they unconsciously took several steps back as if suppressed by the Elder Devils spiritual sense. When the others saw this, their expressions changed and they began to raise their guard.

Then the devil raised his arm and black flame flickered. A black fireball quickly expanded and grew to the size of a head in the blink of an eye. Then it disappeared without a trace with a wave of his arm.

Han Lis heart trembled and soon after, he was shocked. The black fireball didnt head for any of them, but instead went for an empty area in the sky. The fireball then ruptured, covering everything in a thirty meter radius.

In Han Lis shock, he discovered a silhouette had appeared in the black flames, a two-headed four-armed monster. The monsters arms were glowing with purple light and waved, gathering together the black devilflames into a single arm and reforming it back into a fireball.

The two-headed Elder Devil swallowed it and then he raised his head to look at the devil up above.

So it was you. Youve finally found me. The Elder Devil with the devilish face sighed.

The two-headed Elder Devil sinister smiled and spoke with a hostile tone, Youve quite brave to dare attack me. It seems you wish to become the master soul. I wonder whether it was a mistake in the past to send you after those cultivators.

Ancestor Linghu followed Han Lis gaze and saw light flashing in the distance. He saw purple and black lights shine and flicker without end, covering up half the sky from view. And among these lights rose a hundred-meter-wide emerald-green cloud that had various bright lights slowly swivelling within it. When these lights interweaved inside the green cloud, a loud tremble sounded out along with a howl that could be faintly heard from a distance.

The strange black-purple lights carried raging waves of overflowing devilish Qi throughout the sky, a devilish Qi that the three were very familiar with, it carried the same aura that Marquis Nanlongs possessed body released after it transformed. However, this same aura was being emitted at full force from a distance and gave an oppressive feeling.

But what Ancestor Linghu was even more fearful of was how the black-purple lights and the green cloud were quickly heading towards their direction. It appeared they would soon arrive.

Bloated Corpse Poison! That is a poison cloud formed from Wei Wuyas poison techniques. It is capable of killing any cultivator that touch it. Ive seen him use this before. The white-clothed womans face lit up when she saw the green poisonous cloud.

When Han Li and Ancestor Linghu heard this, they exchanged glances with an odd expression but both of their eyes seem to contain a deep dread.

Although the power of this green cloud was vast, it was clearly inferior to that of the black- purple streaks of light. Could it be that his enemy was on par with a late Nascent Soul cultivator? However, from the astonishing aura that it emitted, his opponent definitely wasnt the Elder Devil soul that was possessing Marquis Nanlongs body.

When the white-clothed woman saw the other twos expressions, she realized this as well and she expression grew sullen.

Should we… The white-clothed woman hesitated and thought to propose something when an icy spiritual sense swept past the three and interrupted her.

Han Lis heart trembled when he felt this and Ancestor Linghus expression turned particularly unsightly.

After some silence, Han Li emotionlessly said, Lets hurry and decide what to do. If we take too long, well miss our chance. Now that the Elder Devil weve been fighting has run over there, Fellow Daoist Wei will soon find himself overwhelmed no matter how deep his cultivation may be. Do you two plan on assisting him, or will you run off now and wait for the monsters to hunt you down after Wei Wuya is defeated?

Before Han Li spoke to them, he swept his spiritual sense past the black-purple radiance. However, astonishing spiritual Qi fluctuations blocked him from seeing anything further, much to his gloom. It was clear that the battle was beyond his current level of cultivation.

Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman couldnt help but look at each other in dismay.

If it were possible, the two would rather flee for their lives than stake their all against another battle with the Elder Devil, but it was as Han Li said, if Wei Wuya was defeated, their chances of making it out of the valley were nil as they were far too deep inside.

Furthermore, if Wei Wuya did survive, he would know that they had remained idle rather than assisting him. And as fellow cultivators of the Nine Nations Union, this would bring no end of troubles, especially since they were grand elders of their respective sects, it could spell disaster for the Masked Moon Sect and Yellow Maple Valley. The two hesitated as they were resentful of being trapped in this situation, but for the sake of their sects, they had to stake their lives in this hopeless fight.

Han Li bitterly chuckled in his mind and watched the black-purple radiance in the sky with his hands behind his back, silent the entire time.

Ancestor Linghu frowned and gloomily sighed in his mind. He then said, Among us, Fellow Daoist Han possesses the most powerful abilities. What do you plan on doing?

Me? Well, hehe… Han Li didnt immediately answer and simply smiled.

When Ancestor Linghu saw this, he wryly chuckled and inwardly cursed at Han Li for his craftiness. So long as Han Li proposed to leave, the three could immediately leave. And if Wei Wuya later investigated this, he and the white-clothed woman could blame the matter on Han Li.

As Ancestor Linghu was trying to find a way to deal with this awkward situation, Han Li suddenly yelped, Yi! There are also cultivators nearby. But this comes as no surprise. Given how loud the noise was, it wouldve attracted cultivators within several thousands of kilometers here.

When Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman heard this, they hurriedly followed Han Lis gaze and found that on the other side of the battle, a group of cultivators were flying towards the green cloud and strange radiance.

How can it be them? Why have they come to such a dangerous area? Han Li swept his spiritual sense past these cultivators and felt a wave of shock. He recognized two of the three cultivators in the group.

One of the cultivators was Daoist Heavencrystal, who he had traded with in the past. Following after him were two puppets with wicked appearances. They were riddled with scars and one of the puppets was even missing an arm.

The other person he recognized was a silver-haired old man, Han Lis Senior Martial Brother Cheng.

As for the last person, it was the unfamiliar old man that had entered the valley with his Senior Martial Brother Cheng. The third cultivator that was supposed to be with them was missing, presumably, something had happened to him.

After recognizing these men, Han Lis expression turned gloomy.

It seemed these cultivators were attracted by the fearsome battle. Perhaps they had mistakenly believed that it was between cultivators fighting over a rare treasure. Had they known that there were Nascent Soul consuming devils instead of treasure, they wouldve surely been flying away.

Because they were too far away from Han Li, he wasnt able to reach them with his spiritual sense and couldnt stop them. As a result, they drew closer to the battle in the blink of an eye. Wei Wuya would surely be interested in dragging them into the fray and force them to share the pressure, putting the newly arrived cultivators in danger.

Han Li didnt care for the others, but his Senior Martial Brother Cheng had treated him with kindness at the Drifting Cloud Sect and he couldnt stand by as he watched him die. It seemed hed have to involve himself as well.

Helpless, Han Lis original plans fizzled. He had intended to wait and see how the battle turned out before deciding to either involve himself or slip away.

If Wei Wuya was only at a slight disadvantage, he would naturally be willing to tangle with the Elder Devils. After all, as a fellow human, he didnt wish for the Elder Devils to turn Devilfall Valley into a slaughtering grounds and have the cultivators souls devoured.

But if Wei Wuya was completely overwhelmed, he definitely wouldnt involve himself and would quickly slip away, preserving his own life. As a result, calamity would strike at all the cultivators within the valley. As entities capable of defeating a late Nascent Soul cultivator, Han Li wouldnt be able to contend against them but he should be able to escape.

But now that his Senior Martial Brother Cheng was heading towards the battle, Han Lis expression wavered and could only summon the courage to involve himself. If it truly was too dangerous and worst came to worst, he should be able to use the Bloodshadow Evasion technique to escape.

However, hed have to carefully choose his direction or else he would run into a spatial tear. He will definitely be reserving it only as a last resort.

With that thought, Han Li turned around and spoke to Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman, Since there are other Fellow Daoists going to assist him against those soul devouring devils, I will not stand idly. Regardless of what you decide to do, Ill be heading off first.

However, given that you two are so close to the battle, I suspect that Fellow Daoist Wei has already discovered you. It may be awkward for your future relations with him if you dont join the battle. After speaking with a tone that both threatened and warned them, Han Li made his way towards the battle in a streak of azure light.

Afterwards, the remaining two Nascent Soul cultivators stood in place, speechless.

During this delay, the battle between the black-purple radiance and the green mist grew increasingly fierce. Han Lis words likely held true. Since they were only about five kilometers away, if Wei Wuya had the mind to casually sweep his spiritual sense around him, they would be easily discovered.

Ancestor Linghu stroked his beard and bitterly smiled to the white-clothed woman. Lets go. Fellow Daoist Han is right. As human cultivators, we are duty bound to slay these devils.

The white-clothed womans expression turned sullen. She could only nod, having considered the stakes. Fortunately, there would be several cultivators simultaneously attacking these formidable devils and she should be able to survive. Hoping for the best, the two then gathered their courage and made their way towards the battle.

Unbeknownst to them, the grand elder of the Controlling Spirit Sect, Dongmen Tu, and the three of his sect disciples were fifty kilometers behind them. Only three of the five Nascent Soul cultivators created through the Elemental Spirit Nascents still remained, the other two perished from a spatial tear and a restriction respectively.

However, Dongmen Tu didnt display the slightest sadness on his faces. Instead, he was glancing at the horizon with excitement. The spiritual Qi fluctuations were fierce and could be clearly felt from even fifty kilometers away. It was most likely a battle between cultivators for treasure, and he planned to see if he could take advantage of the chaos.

Even further away was the Ghost Spirit Sect Elder Zhong and the group of Ghost Spirit Sects disciples. Elder Zhong was wearing a particularly gloomy expression.

Although he had a planned route through Devilfall Valley, two of his disciples had perished to moving spatial tears on the way. Even worse was how the main objective of their arduous journey, the Spirit Kindle Fruits had been stolen away by someone else, nearly causing him to be taken away with fury.

The Spirit Kindle Fruit was crucial for him to enter late Nascent Soul stage. Since the cuts to the Spirit Kindle Fruits tree had been fresh, they must had to be immediately refined into medicine and they couldnt have gone far. He sent his disciples out under this reasoning, but to his disappointment, they didnt find them despite the many days they searched.

But just as Elder Zhong was about to dejectedly bring his disciples back, they came across waves of Qi that nearly wiped them away. Fortunately, he possessed a top grade protective ancient treasure and allowed them to all make it through without any damage.

Afterwards, another wave of astonishing spiritual Qi fluctuations stirred in the distance, and he immediately recalled the cultivator who stole away the Spirit Kindle Fruits while flying forward with his disciples with insuppressible impatience burned in his heart.

Han Lis heart stirred upon hearing the Monarch of Soul Divergences warning and he asked, From your tone, it seems youve had personal experiences dealing with Elder Devils. I thought you never entered Devilfall Valley.

Monarch Soul Divergence snorted several times and annoyedly said, Oh? Could it be you didnt hear me before? I had several good friends who enter the valley. Although they all possessed exceptional abilities, only one of them was able to escape alive with their combined powers. Surely this displays the power of the Elder Devils.

Han Li smiled and thought to ask him another question when he heard a loud roar from the ball of black Qi scuttling in the distance. Afterwards, a storm of wind was suddenly scattered away from the black Qi, revealing Marquis Nanlong.

When Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman saw this, their expressions suddenly changed and they felt their blood run cold.

Is that human? They saw Marquis Nanlong emerge with two heads: one head in the front of the neck and the other smaller in the back, both of them possessing a malevolent appearance. They saw four devilish arms from his shoulders, all of them long enough to reach below his knees.

The head in front had purple scales covering its face and a several inches long white horn jutting out from its forehead. However, his nose, eyes, and other facial features were the same as before. The smaller head on his back appeared completely like that of a demon ghost.

Although this head was also horned and scaled, it had a fearsome appearance, and when it opened its jet-black lips, a foot-long black-red pointed tongue unfolded itself. It then pulled back as if it were the tongue of a snake.

But what was even more frightening was how the heads eyes had become narrow slits that glowed with silver light. Whenever its eyes moved, it gave an inhuman feeling of unease.

Not only his head but the rest of his body was also densely covered in purple scales. His four long arms also had long, bone-like nails jutting out from each of his fingertips. When he brought them together, they all shined with silver light and appeared incredibly sharp.

Although Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman felt their hearts tremble at the sight of this new fearsome form, given their rich experience as Nascent Soul cultivators, they didnt allow themselves to be overwhelmed with fear. Instead, when they saw the Elder Devil remain still in place, they both pointed at their treasures and commanded them to attack.

A beam of rainbow light flashed out and enveloped the Elder Devil inside of it. Delighted, Ancestor Linghu took this chance to order his huge white ring to also cover him.

When the Elder Devil saw this, the expression of his front head remained blank as if it were dead, but the expression of his rear head sneered. The huge ring flashed and directly fell onto the Elder Devils head. The devils four arms then glowed with purple light and rose from the rainbow light, firmly grabbing the huge ring before it managed to trap him, preventing it from moving an inch further.

Ancestor Linghu was shocked and he hastily cast a spell technique. The ring brilliantly shined with light and attempted to break free but the four arms held firm as if they were made of metal.

The Elder Devils rear head sneered and it opened its mouth, spitting out a ball of pitch-black liquid at the huge ring. When the ring was drenched in the black liquid, it suddenly cried out and its spiritual light scattered and flickered with demonic black light.

My Yangfused Ring?! Ancestor Linghu shouted out in alarm. In the instant the ring lost its light, he felt his mental connection with the treasure severed and his complexion grew pale.

The Elder Devil had a method to corrupt and destroy ancient treasures.

At that moment, three of the Elder Devils arms released their grip on the ring, and he waved the ring with its remaining arm, creating countless afterimages as it spun. The smaller head then wore a satisfied expression and spoke using his front head, Not bad, not bad! I was worried about how I didnt have any treasures on hand. This will do for now. At that same time, his two other arms swept past his body and took out a pair of black flags. He also spat out a small black sword that floated in the air. As for his fourth arm, it formed a bare fist.

Hehe! Although I only have a few devilfied cultivator treasures, they will to do for now. The Elder Devil sinisterly smiled.

Because Han Li was distracted placing down his sword formation, the golden lightning and the fireball slowed down and lagged behind. As for the Gold Devouring Beetles, they had closely pursued the Elder Devil, but after the transformation had finished, they fearfully ceased their pursuit and began to spiral in place.

Han Li was shocked with bewilderment. This was the first time he had ever sensed fear from his mental connection with the Gold Devouring Beetles.

Not to mention that this two-headed four-armed devil transformation reminded him of the image of the Sacred Provenance Plate as well as the three-headed, six-armed on Master Cang Kuns offerings table. Han Li couldnt understand what relation these three things shared.

As for the flags in the Elder Devils hands, they were the wind commanding flags that had belonged to Lu Weiying. As for that familiar small sword, Han Li recognized it to be one of the treasures that were found from the ancient cultivator remains. He had actually managed to corrupt it and make use of it as well.

But regardless of this, now was not the time to think about it. He needed to provoke the Elder Devil and draw him into the Aureate Sword Formation.

With that thought, Han Li commanded the Gold Devouring Beetles forward and hastened the speed of the Divine Devilbane Lightning and the purple fireball.

Both of the heads simultaneously laughed when they saw this and the Elder Devils neck trembled as it suddenly warped and shifted the positions of the heads. The smaller head then stretched out its black-red tongue without end in a strange display.

The Elder Devil stared at Han Lis incoming attacks and didnt display the slightest intention of dodging. He waved his arms and raised his three treasures in the air. At that moment, the small sword, spell flags and ring brightly shined with black light.

The battle between the Elder Devil and Han Li now begun again. But suddenly, a series of monstrous roars erupted from a distance like bellows of thunder, containing such fury and violent intent that even Ancestor Linghu and white-clothed woman felt their mind tremble from a distance.

Han Li was shocked when he heard this astonishing roar and so was the two-headed Elder Devil. Then the Elder Devil withdrew all of his treasures and instantly flew off in a streak of black, releasing a shriek of his own as he shot into the distance like a bolt of thunder.

The direction that he flew in was where the roar had originated.

In his amazement, Han Li hesitated and extended his finger, ordering the golden lightning, beetles and purple flames to halt for the time being. He then glanced at the Elder Devil far in the distance with various changed expressions.

If he remembered correctly, this roar along with the astonishing wave of Qi not long before originated in the direction of a location marked on the map of Devilfall Valley. Could it be that something massive had occurred there? The Elder Devil even flew away so quickly and emitted a shriek in response. Could it be that another Elder Devil has appeared?

As these thoughts all surged in Han Lis mind, he remained still in place with a pensive expression.

Ancestor Linghu and the white-robed woman were greatly relieved to see that the Elder Devil had taken off and their attitudes relaxed.

Ever since the white-clothed woman saw that her Statis Light Mirror was no longer capable of restraining the transformed Elder Devil, she had been filled with dread.

Although Ancestor Linghu felt some regret over his lost magic treasure, he was still able to preserve his life and felt quite lucky as a result. If it werent for Han Lis timely appearance, he and the great elder of the Masked Moon Sect wouldve faced destruction.

Originally, they had entered the valley with a good friend of their, but the possessed Marquis Nanlong had drawn out his Nascent Soul and consumed it.

Now that the Elder Devil had flown far away and wouldnt return, Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed man exchanged glances before eventually deciding to draw closer to Han Li. As his recent display of magnificent abilities had left them speechless, they found it inappropriate to leave without having a word with him.

Ancestor Linghu saluted him and respectfully said, Fellow Daoist Han, I must thank you for saving me, or I wouldve perished. He then turned his eyes to the tiger puppets at his side and the Sovereign Devil Corpse which was emitting icy Qi. He then inwardly sighed and felt a trace of envy.

Han Li was so young but he managed to acquire so many treasures and abilities. His future path of cultivation was immeasurable. His past agreement with Han Li to assist Yellow Maple Valley was now proven to be correct. So long as he takes action, Yellow Maple Valley will be safe from calamity for the next thousand of years.

As for Nangong Wans Senior Martial Sister, she forced a smile despite their previous quarrel and said, Many thanks for Fellow Daoists kindness. In contrast to her expression, her tone was indifferent.

As for any thoughts of revenge, they were completely eradicated, having just witnessed Han Lis current abilities.

With a wave of his arm, Han Li recalled the golden lightning and other items into his body and sleeve. Then he calmly said, I didnt save your lives out of kindness, I was only defending myself. Now, what do you plan to do? Would you be interested in taking a look over there?

Ancestor Linghu immediately shook his head and said, Fellow Daoist Han must be joking. That thing is so formidable, only a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator could contend against it. We will not be following it. As for the white-clothed woman, she didnt say anything, but she also shook her head.

Since thats the case, then so be it. Although I am curious, it is too dangerous for me to go by myself. Lets part here. Han Li felt somewhat disappointed. If these two Nascent Soul cultivators agreed to accompany him, he wouldve truly go through to investigate what was going on. However, he wasnt curious enough to risk the danger if he were alone.

With that thought, Han Li turned to stare in the direction of the howl, and a short while later, his expression suddenly grew heavy. When Ancestor Linghu saw this, he hastily asked with alarm, Has something happened?

Marquis Nanlong was initially surprised to arrive in front of the tiger demon puppets, but he continued his charge regardless.

The dozen puppets flickered with white light and they took action all at once. Their silhouettes wildly blurred and they instantly surrounded Marquis Nanlong as they swiped at him with their claws of light.

Marquis Nanlongs expression sank and he shouted. Holding the puppets in disregard, he quickly met two of the puppets claws with his fist.

Two muffled bangs sounded out. When the claws struck his black-Qi clad fists, they were thoroughly shattered. However, these puppets had no fear of death, not to mention that they didnt have any magic power to be scattered either. In a flicker of cold light, the two puppets restored their claws and resumed the assault.

Marquis Nanlong wickedly chuckled at the sight of this and his arms blurred and disappeared, followed by his body. Then the various claws of light all struck air, only to be followed by two muffled booms.

Marquis Nanlong appeared outside the encirclement, each arm piercing through the chest of a tiger demon puppet. Since puppets didnt possess any hearts, they could only fall to the ground after receiving these grievous injuries. Marquis Nanlongs brutishly powerful fists destroyed Han Lis meticulously refined tiger demon puppets without any resistance.

However, these strikes were something only done in passing. His true objective was Han Li who had yet to recover from his previous attack. As a result, he rushed past the remaining puppets and appeared before Han Li in an instant, launching another fist at him.

Still wrapped in his protective light barrier and incapable of mustering his magic power, Han Li stare at the oncoming first with an odd expression that lacked the slightest trace of panic.

When Marquis Nanlong saw this, he was bewildered. Just as he thought about what this meant, countless sharp explosions sounded out close behind him. In his alarm, he withdrew his fist without another thought and his body blurred, leaving behind only a line of afterimages in his wake.

In the following instant, countless green claws suddenly appeared, ripping through all of the afterimages. Then in a green flash of light, a green-furred monster with a husk of a face appeared where Marquis Nanlong originally stood. It was the Sovereign Devil Corpse that had stealthily covered under the cover of Han Lis puppets.

Marquis Nanlong stared at the tiger demon puppets and the devil corpse that had nearly launched a successful stealth attack on him.

A refined corpse?! When Marquis Nanlong clearly saw the devil corpse, he shouted with surprise.

At that moment, the tiger demon puppets quickly crowded around Han Li. Han Li then raised his hands and stretched out his fingers, with one hand covered in dense bolts of flickering lightning and the other holding a small ball of purple flames.

With that done, Han Li emotionlessly glanced at Marquis Nanlong.

Marquis Nanlong snorted. With Han Lis magic power restored, there was no point to make any further attempts to suppress him. But what particularly shocked him was how Han Li had released so much Divine Devilbane Lightning and still had so much in reserve.

If he remembered correctly from before he was sealed, the Divine Devilbane Lightning was extremely harmful to Elder Devils as himself, but there were very few treasures capable of producing it and they were only able to summon the lightning once or twice before running dry.

If that werent the case, why else would the humans be completely powerless when the Elder Devils first invaded the mortal realm. But contrary to this fact was the person standing before him, who seemed to be able to draw a limitless amount of Divine Devilbane Lightning from his body. It was a problem how freely he was able to make use of it.

But he was particularly fearful of the purple flame that Han Li held in his other hand. Although he didnt know what this was, his instincts screamed that it was dangerous ever since it had appeared.

As for the mechanical puppets, he didnt take them to heart. After all, they posed no threat to him in combat. They simply surprised him when they first appeared. As for the strange refined corpse, its aura was interesting, but it was only an opponent that possessed an early Nascent Soul cultivation, he also had nothing to fear from it.

As the Elder Devil thought this, he couldnt help but recall the two Nascent Soul cultivators that he had battled against earlier.

When Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman saw that Marquis Nanlong and Han Li had ceased fighting for the time being, they felt a wave of dread and didnt dare to command their ancient treasures to attack. They simply ordered their treasures to remain still. As for Ancestor Linghus ring, it had shrunk and began to hum as it floated in the air.

At that moment, a series of explosions sounded out and Marquis Nanlong turned to look at their source in surprise.

He saw that the ball of grey-white flame rupture in the air. A cloud of golden beetles emerged from the flames unscathed. And with the flames gone, the glowing green ghost claw had disappeared alongside them. Marquis Nanlongs expression turned gloomy at the sight of this.

Having escaped their prison, the golden beetle cloud immediately rushed towards Han Li.

After a moment of silence, Marquis Nanlong wore a savage expression and said, I didnt expect that your abilities were so vast. Fishing your Nascent Soul with ordinary means is rather inconvenient. Since this is the case, Ill have to regretfully kill you. Additionally, this body has already reached the end of its usefulness, so it is no matter even if it ruins.

He then took a deep breath and emitted black devilish Qi from his body. At that same time, the sounds of breaking bones could be heard from his body. Following this, his body grew a meter taller, and his neck and shoulders began to warp with protrusions as if something were about to emerge from them.

As soon as Han Li saw this, he immediately reacted and waved his arms. From one hand, several arcs of golden lightning fused together and pounced forward in the form of a golden python. From the other hand shot out an ordinary ball of purple flame.

At that same time, Han Li released a muffled cry, commanding the Gold Devouring Beetles to fly forward. As for the Sovereign Devil Corpse and the tiger demon puppets, they remained in place to guard against any sneak attacks.

To the side, Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman glanced at each other before pointing at their treasures and activated them. Suddenly, a beam of rainbow light shot out, arriving a step faster than Han Lis attacks. As for the milky white ring, it grew to three meters in size and moved to cover Marquis Nanlong. Having suffered from the Elder Devils strange techniques, they couldnt allow him to successfully pull off another or they would face even greater danger.

Marquis Nanlong was completely unfazed when he saw these oncoming attacks. Rather, the rainbow light completely disappeared when it touched the black Qi that covered his body as if it were being absorbed.

At that moment, the golden lightning python, the purple fireball, and the huge white ring simultaneously struck Marquis Nanlong. The Gold Devouring Beetles were lagging somewhat behind, but they were on the way to attack regardless.

As for the other attacks, Marquis Nanlong was unwilling to receive them and the black Qi surrounding his body trembled before instantly shooting out at great speed, carrying him along with it.

This ten-meter-wide ball of black Qi protected him as it flickered through the air. All of the attacks werent able to reach him as his speed and evasive maneuvers were truly unordinary, preventing any attack from landing for the time being.

When the white-clothed woman saw her attack negated, she resentfully willed her mirror to repeatedly shoot out beams of rainbow light, but they still missed him.

This chase had already continued for a short moment, and much to Han Lis frustration, neither of his attacks have landed despite using his spiritual sense to control them.

Then, Han Li suddenly heard the Monarch of Soul Divergence in his mind, Youngster, if you have no other killing methods up your sleeve, I urge you to escape. Elder Devils greatly differ from the cultivators of the mortal realm. They are all cruel and brutish, each of them well versed in combat. Although they come and go from our realm, none of them are as vicious as a high-grade Elder Devil. If they are earnest, you definitely arent a match for them. Since Ive yet to refine my final Nascent Soul puppet, I dont wish to die alongside you.

When Han Li heard this, he didnt reply. Rather, a harsh expression appeared on his face and he suddenly waved his sleeves. In the blink of an eye, a clear ring sounded out and several tens of small golden swords flew out, each taking the form of a foot-long golden streak of light. They then spiralled away and fluttered through the air under Han Lis command.

Han Li expressionlessly struck his swords with several streaks of spell seals and had them all tremble several times, before forming over a hundred identical copies of themselves in a display of blinding radiance. Han Li formed an incantation gesture with his hands and shouted, Go! The swordlights simultaneously rang and trembled before disappearing from sight. In an instant, Han Li had laid down the Aureate Sword Formation in front of him.

The Monarch of Soul Divergence yelped in alarm and he leisurely said, A sword formation! You still had techniques you havent yet used? Then pretend I didnt say anything just now. However, I do wish to see why you hold this sword formation in such high confidence.

Senior will soon know what this sword formation is. It is hard to say whether or not this sword formation will be able to strike down the Elder Devil if it were his true body, but since hes possessed the body of a human cultivator, I should be able to rid him of his container at the very least, given that I dont kill him.

The Monarch of Soul Divergence wryly chuckled and said, Youngster, dont boast and overestimate yourself. Havent you already experienced the brute force of the Elder Devils possessed body and his vicious devil arts?

Han Li nodded to Ancestor Linghu and turned to Violet Spirit and said, Your cultivation is too low for you to be of any help. Rather, you should escape with your life while you can. Dont worry, since were all fighting this beast, he shouldnt have the chance to attack you. As a result of their friendship, Han Li immediately told Violet Spirit to leave as he couldnt afford to look after her in the coming battle.

Violet Spirit hesitated for a moment before obediently nodding. Very well. Then I shall be taking my leave. Brother Han take care of yourself! Violet Spirit spoke softly and took a glance at Marquis Nanlong down below and a deep look at Ancestor Linghus before flying off.

At that moment, Marquis Nanlong simply glanced at her in the distance before refocusing his gaze on Han Li. It was unknown whether he simply felt Violet Spirit to be too unworthy of an opponent or that he felt that three Nascent Soul cultivators were troublesome to deal with.

Seeing that Marquis Nanlong was glaring at him, Han Lis expression sank and he raised his hand, summoning several dense arcs of golden lightning around his arm. Thunder repeatedly clapped as lightning lit up around his arm in a brilliant display.

Given the fearsome of this Elder Devil, Han Li had no intention of probing his abilities and decided to immediately attack with the Divine Devilbane Lightning, legendary for its ability to suppress all things wicked and evil. In truth, Han Li was somewhat disappointed that he never had the chance to test its effectiveness against a devils wicked technique. Although this Elder Devil may be formidable, Han Li was confident in the lightnings ability to suppress him.

When Marquis Nanlong saw the golden lightning bouncing off Han Lis arm, his eyes narrowed.

As he stared at Han Li, he eventually spoke with an icy tone, I recognize you from the remnant memories of this bodys previous owner. Although I dont know the specific details, this bodys previous owner had a particularly fearsome impression of you. I now see that impression was correct. Not only did you evade my ambush, but you are able to control the Divine Devilbane Lightning that had caused us to suffer so much in the past. It seems like Ill have to expend quite a bit of effort to deal with you.

When Han Li heard this, a trace of a cold smile appeared on his lips and the arcs of golden light on his arm surged with greater power. At that same time, he flung his sleeve and a small blue shield appeared in front of him. It revolved around him before transforming into a barrier of blue light.

Seeing that Han Li took the initiative to act first and defend himself against Marquis Nanlong, Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman glanced at each other with joy. Han Lis current reputation was quite great and he was an existence on par with late Nascent Soul cultivators. As a result, they each sent a voice transmission to each other and slowly moved forward in preparation to provide Han Li assistance.

When Marquis Nanlong saw that Han Li remained steadfast and unaffected by his provocation, he frowned and a fearsome expression appeared on his face. He silently stamped down and his entire body trembled, only to leave behind an afterimage.

Han Lis expression remained calm, but he felt a chill shake his heart and his mind grew wary. He swept his spiritual sense around him but wasnt able to find any trace of the Elder Devil, as expected. His concealment technique alone was enough to kill ordinary cultivators.

With that thought, Han Li narrowed his eyes and blue light flickered from his eyes, activating the Brightsight Spirit Eyes with practiced ease. Then, he suddenly raised his arm and released a bolt of golden lightning. It was targeted at an empty area and transformed into a net of rumbling lightning just before it struck.

As a result, a strange scene occurred. Black light flickered from the empty area, revealing Marquis Nanlong. He felt alarm when he saw the net of golden lightning falling down upon him., but soon, his expression grew sullen as his body blurred, and the net only fell down on an afterimage. Marquis Nanlongs body had disappeared without a trace.

Han Li pressed his lips tightly together when he saw this. With blue light continuing to shine from his eyes, he looked to his side and raised other arm before pointing it in a completely different direction. Peals of thunder ringing out, a dense bolt of golden lightning shot out from his hand, striking at an empty space twenty meters away.

Just as the golden lightning traveled through the air, Marquis Nanlongs figure reformed right in its path. He could only blankly stare as he met its thunderous path.

Marquis Nanlong was greatly shocked once more. It may just be a matter of luck if Han Li was able to predict his location once, but it couldnt be a coincidence for this to happen a second time. Han Li was truly able to see his movements.

This time, the timing of Han Lis attack was superb, Marquis Nanlong wasnt able to avoid it. He could only open his mouth and spit out a ball of black-red Devilflame to meet the golden lightning head on.

With a light clap, the black-red flames and golden lightning flashed, dissipating into smoke like fire and ice.

Yi! It was Han Lis turn to be shocked. The Elder Devil actually had a method to block the Divine Devilbane Lightning, a fearsome black-red devilflame.

But under Han Lis careful watch, he noticed that Marquis Nanlongs complexion had paled in the instant the ball of Devilflame was combusted. Although he had been able to recover in an instant, it was clear that this black-red devilflame most likely had some sort of connection to his vitality or soul essence.

Before Han Li could think about how to best take advantage of this, Marquis Nanlong suddenly lowered his body and strangely lengthened and shot forward as if his body were boneless. He arrived in front of Han Li and sinisterly smiled, preparing to fiercely pummel Han Li with his devil Qi clad fists.

Han Li watched this with an unchanged expression and calmly took half a step back. With lightning ringing from his back, a pair of silver-white wings appeared. Then with another ring of thunder, he disappeared in a silver flash.

When Marquis Nanlong saw this, he paused before coldly smiling. Lightning Movement! I see you know quite a bit. But it is a pity, hehe… He sneered and turned into black mist before disappearing as well.

The two attacks and simultaneous disappearances happened all in a mere instant.

When Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman saw this exchange, they had immediately planned on assisting Han Li with their magic treasures, but they werent able to find a good chance to interject themselves into the battle. And with Marquis Nanlong and Han Li now out of sight, Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman couldnt help but look at each other in dismay. Then, they hastily released their protective treasures around them out of increased wariness, protecting themselves from any chance encounters with Marquis Nanlong. After all, the two didnt have Han Lis abilities and werent able to see through Marquis Nanlongs concealment.

At that moment, thunder rang out and Han Li appeared over sixty meters away from his original location. And immediately after, black Qi appeared behind Han Li, followed by Marquis Nanlongs appearance. Wearing a savage expression on his face, he fiercely pounded his fists down upon Han Li.

Without even turning around, Han Li instantly sensed what had happened with his spiritual sense, but the strike occurred too fast, he wasnt able to teleport away in time. He was only able to pour the entirety of his spiritual sense into the Bluelight Shield surrounding him a to block the attack.

Han Lis haphazard decision to teleport away had given Marquis Nanlong quite the opportunity. With shock resonating through his mind, Han Li felt perplexed when he was caught off guard, he hadnt expected Marquis Nanlong to act so quickly.

Bang. Bang. Han Li now tasted what Ancestor Linghu had just recently experienced. The blue light barrier around Han Lis body trembled and he was struck back. A majority of the magic power he had condensed was scattered by Marquis Nanlongs two fists, preventing him from further using Lightning Movement.

Marquis Nanlong wildly howled in laughter and his body turned into a fierce gale as he pursued Han Li, preparing to land a rain of blows with his fists.

While Han Li was shooting through the air, incapable of controlling his body, his face was unexpectedly emotionless. Having seen what Ancestor Linghu suffered, he had prepared himself. Although he wasnt able to condense his magic power, he had other methods of contending against the Elder Devil.

Although his body had become numb and powerless, he was soon able to feel his arms once more and released a spirit beast pouch from his waist towards Marquis Nanlong.

Before Marquis Nanlong realized what had happened, he heard a sudden wave of buzzing from the bag. Several thousand of Gold Devouring Beetles swarmed out to form a cloud and they all surrounded him as he charged onward. Although he didnt recognize these Gold Devouring Beetles, he was able to sense an aura of ancient exotic insects, arousing fear in his heart. He didnt dare to be negligent and swiped his hand in the air towards them, summoning a glowing green ghost claw covered in grey-white flames to sweep away the Gold Devouring Beetles.

In an instant, a majority of the Gold Devouring Beetles were grabbed by the ghost claw, and soon after, the grey-white flames burned a meter tall. The other beetles that hadnt been grabbed by the claw were now caught in the flames. Marquis Nanlong sneered at the sight and began to move towards Han Li once more. freewenovel.cm

But at that moment, the white-clothed woman saw an opportunity to finally strike. She activated her mirror and a beam of rainbow light enveloped Marquis Nanlong. Additionally, Ancestor Linghu pointed to a milky-white ring floating above his head. The ring flickered before shooting towards Marquis Nanlong as well.

Marquis Nanlong was enraged at the sight of this and easily dodged the beam of rainbow light with a blur of his body. Although the rainbow light was difficult to deal with, it had no effect on him so long as it didnt touch him. As for the white ring, it was clearly a treasure focused on restriction. It also had no effect on him unless it touched his body.

As Marquis Nanlong thought this, he turned his sight on Han Li once more and made his way towards him. To him, Han Li and his Divine Devilbane Lightning posed the greatest threat.

However, Han Li didnt remain idle while inside his light barrier. He slapped another spirit beast pouch at his waist, and summoned over ten puppets that blocked Marquis Nanlongs way with a single command.

Each of the puppets was six meters long and had human bodies with tiger heads. With a tremble of their hands, ten several-inch-long streaks of light glowed their claws.

Ancestor Linghus expression changed and without further thought, he pointed to the jade scepter. Suddenly, the barrier around him thickened and he spat out a small block stamp. It flew out as a ball of green light.

Bang. Marquis Nanlong sneered and punched the jade block without hesitation. As black and green light weaved together, black Qi suddenly shrunk and expanded, blowing away the light.

The jade block was sent flying back and fiercely pounded towards Ancestor Linghu. In his alarm, he hastily grasped his hands in an incantation gesture and repeatedly strengthened his protective barrier with successive spell seals to stop the incoming jade block. But in that short moment of delay, a pitch-black fist appeared in front of the barrier and fiercely smashed down.

The barrier trembled and Ancestor Linghu felt a huge force travel through it, immediately sending him flying. However, he didnt live his thousand years of life in vain. With his rich battle experience, he had already shaken his sleeve and released a fire-red flying dagger in the direction of the Marquis Nanlongs new position.

Marquis Nanlong sinisterly grinned past his expression filled with black Qi. As the flying dagger streaked towards his head, he didnt bother to dodge. Rather, he took a breath and spat out a streak of black-red demonflame from his mouth. The flying dagger attempted to cut through the black-red flames but was instantly entangled. With with several flashes of red light, the dagger groaned and was cleanly devoured by the flames, falling to the ground as a lump of spiritless iron.

When Ancestor Linghu saw this, he felt a wave of shock. The dagger may have appeared ordinary, but it was in fact a famous treasure in the Heavenly South Continent, the Evil Slaying Blade. It a difficultly acquired treasure that was particularly effective against evil souls and spirits.

Since it was clear to see that Marquis Nanlong had been possessed by a ferocious evil spirit, he decided make use of this blade. While he didnt think it was enough to heavily injure Marquis Nanlong, it came as a massive shock for it to be destroyed with such casual disregard.

As Ancestor Linghu turned paled from fright, the devil-possessed Marquis Nanlong pursued the old man before allowing him to regain his bearings. He leaned forward and his body suddenly folded and extended like a snake. His torso extended forward and pursued Ancestor Linghu, only to pound at his barrier once more.

Shaken by another strike, Ancestor Linghu was sent flying once more. Marquis Nanlong strangely flickered his entire body in front of Ancestor Linghu and began to rain down punches upon him. Powerless to resist, he was struck like a sandbag.

The jade scepter in his hand was undoubtedly a top-grade defensive ancient treasure. Although the dark-green barrier continued to tremble, it remained steadfast underneath the immense force of these strikes. Even Marquis Nanlong let out a gasp of surprise, but he never once stopped pounding down.

Fear completely overwhelmed Ancestor Linghus mind. At that moment, he found himself in the same situation as Lu Weiying. Every punch scattered most of the spiritual power he managed to condense in his body, preventing him from activating any further abilities and treasures.

After a dozen or so punches, the jade scepters barrier finally began to warp underneath the blows, causing Ancestor Linghus heart to sink with fear.

An evil grin appeared on Marquis Nanlongs face when he saw this. His body blurred and had one hand continue to pound down on the barrier while he held his other hand like a blade as if concentrating power into it in preparation for the lethal blow.

Ancestor Linghus complexion turned deathly pale. The barrier was finally cracking. He gritted his teeth and gripped onto an item he kept near his heart, preparing to stake it all for his life.

But at that moment, a thick beam of rainbow light suddenly appeared and enveloped Marquis Nanlong inside of it. Marquis Nanlong originally didnt care for it, but when it touched his body, he suddenly felt his body grow heavy and his movements greatly slowed.

Yi! Marquis Nanlong yelped in surprise and glanced in the direction of the beam of light.

The white-clothed woman was holding an ancient mirror high in the air, the source of the beam of light. A harsh expression appeared on Marquis Nanlongs face when he saw this.

With the white-clothed womans interference, Ancestor Linghu as brought out of the pit of despair and immediately grabbed onto this chance at life. He gathered his magic power and escaped in a streak of light. In the blink of an eye, he reappeared at the white-clothed womans side.

Ancestor Linghu couldnt afford to offer his thanks for the time being. Instead, he clapped his hands together before raising them both and releasing over ten flaming talismans from his hand, all of them shooting to Marquis Nanlong who was trapped in the rainbow light.

The talismans arrived above Marquis Nanlong and ruptured in succession under Ancestor Linghus command. Rumbles continuously sounded out as scarlet flames enveloped him. Marquis Nanlong spouted out a breath of black Qi to protect himself from the scarlet flames pouring around him.

Ancestor Linghu obviously didnt believe that this was enough to kill him. He promptly formed an incantation gesture and took out a majestic white trident. It shrunk before shooting out in an attack.

The white-clothed woman also took action during this time. With one hand holding the mirror and keeping Marquis Nanlong restrained, she summoned two flying swords with the other. They shot towards him as a black and a white streak.

As the battle raged on, no words were said. But then, rainbow light flashed below nearby.

Han Li frowned and asked the Monarch of Soul Divergence, Is that thing possessing Marquis Nanlong one of those Elder Devils you mentioned?

With a trace of schadenfreude, he replied, Apart from an Elder Devil, what else could be so vicious? But for him to be able to send two Nascent Soul cultivators fleeing, it seems this Elder Devil is rather highly ranked in the Elder Devil Realm. If you were to fight him alone, your chances of victory are very low, even if he isnt using his original body.

Han Li bitterly chuckled and muttered, It is quite interesting that you didnt tell me to immediately flee. And its not as if I have any interest in fighting that thing alone. But nevertheless, the world is truly a chaotic place for Marquis Nanlong to fall in such a way.

The Monarch of Soul Divergence snorted and said, With regards to cultivation alone, even four of you wouldnt stand a chance against an Elder Devil with a possessed body. But with your various treasures and techniques, your chances are quite good. You even have Divine Devilbane Lightning. Although it cant be said that youd be a match for the Elder Devil, you should have no problem escaping it.

Han Li smiled and thought to say something further when he suddenly heard Violet Spirits voice, Brother Han! What will we do? Do you plan to attack? Violet Spirit had been scared speechless ever since she had caught sight of Marquis Nanlongs corrupted form, and his fierce display was only cause for more trepidation.

Han Li smiled at her and was about to say something when he suddenly raised his arm with an alarmed expression. A mist of azure Qi shot out and pulled Violet Spirit into his embrace. He then shot to the sky in an azure streak.

The azure light faded to reveal Han Li holding Violet Spirit in a loose embrace. He was glancing down below with a solemn expression. Violet Spirit hurriedly brushed herself from his grasp with a slight blush and also looked down below in bewilderment.

They now saw a pitch-black silhouette standing there and icily staring at them. Marquis Nanlong had made a sudden appearance there.

He planned to mount a sneak attack at them, but Han Li had fortunately glanced around with his Brightsight Spirit Eyes by chance. As for Violet Spirit, she felt her blood run cold and hastily glanced in a different direction.

At that moment, a ball of black Qi within the rainbow beam of light vanished underneath the raging flames. The silhouette flickered within to clearly reveal another Marquis Nanlong.

When Ancestor Linghu saw Han Li suddenly appear in the distance, he was initially delighted. But when he caught sight of yet another Marquis Nanlong, he felt his heart drop. He hastily called out to the white-clothed woman in bewilderment for them to postpone their attacks.

At that moment, the Marquis Nanlong inside the beam of light expressionlessly glanced at the two before disappearing into black Qi, revealing itself to only be a temporary incarnation. Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman exchanged a glance, both of their eyes holding a deep fear.

It wasnt difficult to create an incarnation, but it was truly frightening for an incarnation to escape the notice of two Nascent Soul cultivators. They had believed that the incarnation had been the genuine Marquis Nanlong this entire time. It appeared that he left behind a hollow shell at an unknown time. If he hadnt intended to mount a sneak attack on Han Li, one of the two cultivators wouldve fallen prey.

Fellow Daoist Han, I didnt think youd be here. This is fantastic! This devilish monster is extremely formidable. If we unite together against this devil, we will be able to save ourselves! Ancestor Linghu loudly shouted.

When Han Li heard this, he bitterly smiled. He originally believed his concealment to be sufficient to escape the notice of even late Nascent Soul cultivators. As a result, he watched the battle with an easy heart, thinking of escaping a moment later. He didnt think that the Elder Devil would actually discover him and plan to ambush him. It seemed a battle would be unavoidable!

When Violet Spirit saw this huge mountain of ice break, she paled and unconsciously turned to look at Han Li.

At the moment, Han Li appeared unperturbed and without a trace of panic. When Violet Spirit saw this, her heart steadied, knowing that he most likely had further methods to protect himself.

But to Violet Spirits surprise, Han Li didnt make any further use of any magic treasures or techniques. Although the blue ice mountain trembled underneath the boulders and Qi wave, it held steadfast and showed no sign of breaking.

In her delight, Violet Spirit discovered that the mountain of ice wasnt condensed from ordinary glacial Qi, it was far more hardy than one would expect.

After the time it took to finish a cup of tea, the astonishing white wave of Qi eventually finished rushing past them. It rumbled into the distance only to disappear from sight.

Violet Spirit sighed, summoning her embroidered scarf back into her hand from its mist form. She looked at Han Li and puzzlingly asked, What is that? How could Devilfall Valley possess such a thing?

Han Lis eyes flickered and he muttered, Im not sure. However, there was something strange about the spiritual Qi in the distance. It was extremely chaotic. Could such an astonishing wave of Qi come from a spatial tear instead of a person? However, the wave of Qi was so fearsome that the valleys restrictions werent able to stop it. Nascent Soul cultivators would be able to deal with it well enough, but if that wave reached the outer valley, those Core formation cultivators would almost certainly perish.

When Violet Spirit heard Han Li, she frowned and also used his spiritual sense to look in the direction that the Qi wave had arrived. She was only able to sense that the spiritual Qi was somewhat abnormal as her spiritual sense wasnt able to reach that far.

There is something amiss. Brother Han, could it be you plan on investigating the source of this?

Han Li hesitated for a moment and spoke with a tone of certainty, Why would I plan on investigating it? Regardless of whether to wave was artificially made or a coincidental explosion, I dont want to look for trouble despite how curious I may be. Lets return back to the outer valley in any case. Weve already fulfilled our objective. With this strange occurrence, the Ghost Spirit Sect will most likely be too occupied to find us. It is a good opportunity to leave.

Afterwards, he pointed to the huge shield in front of him and it quickly shrunk before returning into his sleeve.

As for the ice mountain, Han Li pressed his hand against its walls and blue light suddenly shined. It thawed in the blink of an eye and soon, a ball of blue flame entered his palm.

When Violet Spirit saw this, she wore an expression of alarm.

Han Li raised his palm and looked at the ball of blue flame with a trace of satisfaction. This new technique of using the ice flames was something he had comprehended from the world of illusion. Although this was the first time he made use of it, it was done with skill and precision as if having done this several times before, much to Han Lis surprise.

This illustrated that the experiences within the world of illusion werent born from simple imagination, they were truly understandings of heaven and earth from a higher realm. With that witnessed, he had higher hopes for entering mid Nascent Soul stage.

With a faint smile on his face, he turned to Violet Spirit and thought to say something when light suddenly shined from the horizon behind them to reveal two streaks of light.

A streak of yellow and white light trembled as they streaked across the sky as if they were fleeing in Han Lis direction.

Yi! When Han Li saw them with his spiritual sense, he yelped with surprise.

Violet Spirit stretched out his spiritual sense only to discover that the two streaks of light belonged to two Nascent Soul cultivators. As she wasnt able to see anything further, she asked, Brother Han, you know those two?

Of course I recognize them. Ive had some dealings with them in the past! Han Li frowned and stared at them with an odd expression.

One of the streaks of light contained a yellow-robed old man with a sallow face Yellow Maple Valleys Ancestor Linghu. As for the other streak of light, it contained a white-clothed woman with an icy expression, the grand elder of the Masked Moon Sect Nangong Wans Senior Martial Sister.

Han Li was surprised that the two had also entered Yellow Maple Valley. It seems they had stolen into the valley at the very last moment.

The two both wore expressions of fright and were fleeing as quickly as could, but there was nothing behind them. Regardless, they continued to flee as if there was something quickly chasing after them, and they didnt dare to slow down. Han Li found this truly strange as they werent weak individuals by any means.

Ancestor Linghu was a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator and Nangong Wans Senior Martial Sister possessed formidable treasures and techniques. It was unbelievable that the two had decided to hurriedly flee instead of standing their ground. Could it be that the Moulan Divine Sage Zhong was chasing them down?

With that thought, Han Li felt his heart tremble. His relationship with the Moulan spell warriors was anything but good. He had wrecked the plans of the Moulan Tribes several times and had slain many high-grade Moulan spell warriors. If he were to come across Divine Sage Zhong, he feared that he would definitely go after him.

With that thought, Han Li didnt delay and decided to take advantage of the fact the two had yet to be detected. In a blur, he arrived at Violet Spirits side and held his hands in an incantation gesture. A layer of light then appeared above their heads and caused them to disappear from sight.

Han Li and Violet Spirit blurred within the azure light and soon disappeared from sight. Then, the two streaks of light brushed past the mountain Han Li was concealed.

Han Li was able to see the deathly pale expression that Ancestor Linghu wore. Then, Han Li glanced at a place three hundred meters behind them and narrowed their eyes.

Where do you think youre going? What? Dont you want to be with your companion? Tch tch, your cultivation is quite high and your primal souls are exceptionally profound. They will make great offerings to this lord. How could I possibly let you escape? This time, there will be no further surprises and you will obediently fall into my grasp.

The voice howled with laughter and spoke with a tone of audacity. These words shook the world nearby, guaranteeing that all cultivations within five kilometers could hear it.

Afterwards, a line of black light strangely appeared where Han Li was staring.

The black line intermittently flickered, closing the distance between it and the two fleeing cultivators with each reappearance. A short moment later, it was only two hundred meters away from them.

At that moment, a silhouette could be seen from the black radiance. Although it appeared vague, Han Li hastily focused his attention o nit. But through some sort of unknown secret technique, Han Li wasnt able to see his cultivation with his spiritual sense. He was only able to see his vague figure. However, his figure appeared rather familiar to Han Li and after a moment of thought, Han Li recognized him, much to his shock.

Marquis Nanlong? How can he be here? And there seems to be something different about him. Han Li was shaken with wilderment. This person was the devil possessed Marquis Nanlong.

Although Han Li didnt know that the devil soul had possessed his body and was no longer the original Marquis Nanlong, the overwhelming devilish Qi emitted from his body and his audacity to pursue Ancestor Linghu and the Grand Elder of the Masked Moon Sect was clearly bizarre and out of character. гeewebnovl.com

At that moment, Marquis Nanlong reappeared in his black light only a hundred meters away from the two. He eerily laughed and the black light surrounding him ruptured. A ball of pitch-black devilish Qi wrapped around him and he disappeared in a flicker of black Qi.

When Ancestor Linghu and the white-clothed woman saw that Marquis Nanlong had disappeared, they were greatly alarmed and came to a sudden stop. They each took action, with one person taking out a pitch-black mirror and the other brandishing a jade scepter, and both of them covering themselves in a barrier of light.

Then, a black light shined not far away from them. Pitch-black devilish Qi suddenly spurted forth and instantly enveloped an area of over thirty meters. Marquis Nanlongs figure could be vaguely seen from within it.

You clearly know that you arent my match. Dont do something so foolish as to resist me! Marquis Nanlong sinisterly smiled from within the black Qi and he casually waved his hand. A large bang sounded out. A black hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and struck the white-clothed woman. Afterwards, the woman was repelled over twenty meters away alongside the barrier that formed from the mirror before managing to steady herself.

Ancestor Linghus pale complexion grew even more unsightly.

With a harsh tone, Ancestor Linghu harshly yelled.What are you? Not only have you possessed Fellow Daoist Nanlongs body, but you dare to devour the primal soul of our fellow cultivator. Do you truly believe that there is no match for you within Devilfall Valley? There are several tens of Nascent Soul cultivators that have entered Devilfall Valley. No matter how powerful you are, you will find it difficult to escape death.

Not only did Marquis Nanlong show no fear, but heSeveral tens? Haha! Fantastic! I originally believed there were but a few humans in this valley. But now there are so many Nascent Souls for me to devour, Id better go and retrieve them. With so many Nascent Souls devoured, my soul power will mostly recover!

Then with a huge bang, black Qi instantly ruptured and scattered. Then a silhouette clad in black Qi blurred as it shot towards Ancestor Linghu, leaving afterimages in his wake.

Bright light began to wind around Han Lis body and his surroundings turned dim and hazy. Countless specks of white light danced around in the air outside.

Han Li clasped his hands in an incantation gesture and spiritual light flowed without end around his body. A whirlwind of light rose from the ground and enveloped him in a gorgeous display.

Soon after, gales began to blow with greater force and frequency as time went by. As for the white light specks in the distance, they were swept inside like moths to the flame. Not long after, the winds formed a huge pillar that reached to the sky, blowing up stones and sand wherever it went as if possessed by a devil.

At that moment, Han Lis incantation echoed through the fierce winds, causing the pillar of wind to tremble before dispersing. Then, thin glowing clouds floated through the air.

An incantation was quickly spoken and the glowing clouds turned blue. Soon, the sound of rushing water filled the air and countless surging waves rose as far as the eye could see. Waves up to three hundred meters tall began to rise around him. As for Han Li, he was standing within a huge pillar of water and blue light shined from his hands incantation gesture, appearing as if he were a water god.

Suddenly, Han Lis incantation gesture changed and it became muffled.The huge waves disappeared in the blink of an eye as if they were an illusion and were replaced with waves of scarlet flame. Over ten hundred-meter-long fire flood dragons emerged from them, each of them spitting fire from their mouths.

Then, the flames disappeared to be replaced with a verdant sea of trees, an endless desert, a world of ice, and many other worlds as Han Li willed them into existence. For the moment, he appeared to be a godlike existence.

Han Li appeared satisfied with what he had done and then used his magic power to condense a three-kilometer-tall giant. He had it beat its chest before roaring to the sky. Afterwards, silver light began to streak from every corner of the horizon and began to surge towards the giant in a silver wave.

Blinding silver streaks filled the sky and the giant melted underneath the silver lights as if it were ice. But when this light covered Han Li, he felt his eyes burn. He immediately covered his eyes with his hands and miserably scream.

Following, the silver lights in the sky scattered.

Han Li felt completely dazed, but he soon opened his eyes in alarm. The silver light and the world around him had completely disappeared. He was sitting inside a secluded room, his body completely drenched in sweat.

Han Li took a deep breath and calmed himself, finally recalling that he was within a sealed room inside Devilfall Valley. Not long before, he had taken the Nature Origin Pill that he had refined and was enveloped in a world of illusion by the medicinal power erupted from it.

He blankly remained seated and didnt immediately stand up. As he reflected upon his own experiences in the illusory world, his expression wavered with his face revealing revelation one moment and confusion the next. He then touched his back and found his robes to be drenched.

Han Li bitterly smiled. The Nature Origin Pill was beyond miraculous for it to sink his mind into a world of illusions in spite of his vast spiritual sense.

As for his time inside the illusion, he had become an entirely different person and experienced inconceivable events. He grasped tremendous power with ease, capable of shifting mountains and seas, and calling wind and rain.

But when Han Li recalled what he had done, the incantations became incredibly vague and he couldnt recall a single word that he spoke, but the grasp and sensation of worldly spiritual power were remembered with complete detail. He felt as if he had experienced it with his body and believed it would prove beneficial for him in breaking through to the next cultivation realm.

Han Li then closed his eyes once more and remained still in place.

Han Li sat in place for half a day before opening his eyes with restored calm. Any trace of confusion had disappeared from his face. He stood up and raised his hand, striking the stone door in front of him with a spell seal. The door flickered with spirit light and slowly opened, allowing Han Li to calmly walk out.

As soon as he walked out, a white streak of light flew out from the stone wall and into his sleeve. It was Silvermoon in her fox form.

Han Li slowly walked towards the caves entrance and asked, How long was I in seclusion? Did anything happen while I was in there?

Silvermoon replied with a respectful tone, Master was in seclusion for two days. During this time, Violet Spirit had already emerged, but she saw that the restrictions protecting your cave had yet to be raised and she returned to her residence.

Han Li indifferently said, Given her lower cultivation, the Nature Origin PIll shouldve had a lesser effect on her. It is no wonder that she left seclusion earlier. Rather, I am more surprised that you dont want to take one.

Silvermoons helpless voice left his sleeve, Master should know that I am quite a bit different from a human cultivator. I am a Silvermoon Wolf that is possessing the body of a demon fox. In addition to medicine pills used to advance cultivation, I dont dare to negligently take any cultivator medicine pills. Who knows what harm they could cause to me? I would rather just spend more time cultivating than take that risk.

After a moment of thought, Han Li frowned and nodded , saying nothing further.

Of course, Han Li didnt waste the remaining Spirit Kindle Fruits. He had consumed them before taking the Nature Origin Pill. With their medicinal power dissolved into his body, he experienced a small but noticeable increase in cultivation. It truly deserved to be a spirit medicine rarely seen in this world.

When Han Li arrived near the exit of the cave residence, he found that his puppets were obediently guarding the gate. He took several steps forward and swept them into his storage pouch in a flash of white light.

At that moment, Han Li opened the stone gate of his cave residence with a magic technique and calmly walked out.

In the instant Han Li walked out, a streak of light shot out from one of the neighboring mountains.

When Han Li saw the light approaching, he calmly waved his hands around him, beckoning all the nearby formation flags and plates that were placed in the ground. They all flew into his hands one after another in streaks of azure light.

Brother Han, youve finally emerged. I believed it wouldve taken you another half day before you came out.

At that moment, the streak arrived in front of Han Li, revealing Violet Spirits figure. She sweetly smiled at Han Li as she floated in the air. Her gorgeous beauty soon unfolded as the light faded away around her face.

Han Li smiled and said, It seems Violet Spirit has experienced rather fine results after taking the Nature Origin Pill. You are only a few years away from ascending to mid Core Formation stage. Allow me to offer my congratulations ahead of time.

Violet Spirits gaze flickered and she happily said, Brother Han must be joking. The Nature Origin Pill only saved me several tens of years of bitter cultivation. However, Brother Han now has a good chance of reaching mid Nascent Soul stage after taking the pill. This is worthy of even greater congratulations.

Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit cant believe that the Nature Origin Pill has the same effect on a Core Formation cultivator as a Nascent Soul cultivator, Han Li calmly said, Although it was said that the pill is effective to everyone under Deity Transformation stage, the lower the cultivation one possesses, the greater the effect. When Core Formation cultivators take the pill, there is no doubt that they will be able to ascend to the next level, but this isnt guaranteed for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Regardless of how it is said, the Nature Origin Pill is greatly useful towards ascending to the next level of cultivation. There is no need for Brother Han to be so modest. And give the aptitude Brother Han displayed after reaching Nascent Soul stage in only two hundred years, he should only be a step away from entering mid Nascent Soul stage.

Aptitude? When Han Li heard Violet Spirit say this, he couldnt help but bitterly laugh. Although he didnt correct her, he did shake his head in silence.

Violet Spirit pursed her lips in a smile and thought to say something more when a huge rumble sounded out in the distance. It appeared as if a fierce tremble shook the entire world. Han Li handled it well enough, but Violet Spirit was shaken by this and fell from the air.

She hastily stopped her fall with a burst of light and shouted out in alarm, What happened? What is going on?

Also shocked, Han Li didnt answer and turned his head in the direction of the source of this sound.

Yi! That is the area that the map indicated. Han Lis heart stirred and he felt somewhat bewildered.

At that moment, a white line howled as it streaked from the horizon, carrying booms in its wake. In the blink of an eye, the white light turned thicker and countless waves of white Qi suddenly appeared nearby.

As far as the eye could see, a boundless and unimaginable tall wave of white Qi engulfed the surrounding mountains as it made its way towards Han Li and Violet Spirit. In the blink of an eye, it was only about a kilometer away from them.

Not good! When Han Li saw this, his expression changed and he summoned a small blue shield with a shake of his sleeve. It revolved around him once and expanded into a huge shield in front of him.

He pointed at the huge shield and a layer of blue light emitted from it, enveloping Han Li within it. Still feeling unease, he spat out a ball of blue icy flame and had it rupture thirty meters in front of him.

The blue flame radiantly glowed and crackled. The large icy ball of Qi rapidly expanded and in the blink of an eye, a twenty-meter-tall ice mountain appeared in front of Han Li.

As for Violet Spirit, she also reacted with alarm and released an embroidered scarf that release a mist of light to protect her. When she saw that Han Li had condensed an ice mountain, she hastily flew to his side with delight. At that moment, the rushing wave of Qi had finally arrived before them.

The entire sky grew dim. Soon, the violent sounds of shattering earth burst around them. A huge tremble resonated from the ice mountain ahead of them where tens of boulders smashed into it, each impact releasing a sharp clank. The sound was discomforting and made ones heart stir.

You know of our Holy Realm? A trace of alarm flashed past the scholars face, glancing at Wei Wuya in surprise.

Within the green mist that shrouded him, Wei Wuya icily said, Although I dont know much of the Elder Devil realm, I do know that you Elder Devils were incapable of coexistence with the ancient cultivators. In times of antiquity, you even attempted to rule over our mortal realm.

The Ghost Spirit Sect Master and Wang Tiangus expression changed upon hearing this and black light flickered from their bodies. Yin Qi emerged from them and enveloped them in a sphere. When they turned their gaze towards the Confucian scholar once more, they unconsciously took two steps back.

Although the two havent heard of the Elder Devil Realm or Elder Devils, Wei Wuyas intimidated appearance and the scholars confident calm had made them to be vigilant.

With a deliberate tone, the scholar calmly said, You dont need to know what I am. I simply wish to make an exchange with you. If you agree, your cultivation will be vastly increased and you may even ascend to the realm of Deity Transformation. Would you three be interested in listening?

The Ghost Spirit Sect Master exchanged a glance with Wang Tiangu and calmly said, Oh, we might as well hear this grand offer for the time being!

Its quite simple. Do you see the Elder Devil corpse behind me? Assist me in removing its seals and I will use its body to open a tear into the Holy Realm. As a reward, I will use the True Devil Qi of the Divine Ancestors to turn your constitution as that of a supreme devil, becoming a member of our Holy Realm. Would you three be willing? With your talents, your cultivation will make massive leaps once the infusion of devilish Qi is finished. Entering Deity Transformation stage would only be a matter of time. The scholars voice was smooth and alluring.

Dissolve the seal and infuse devilish Qi? The Ghost Spirit Sect Master felt his heart stir. An instant and massive increase in cultivation and the ability to enter Deity Transformation stage were truly tempting. He turned to look at Wang Tiangu and saw that he was tempted as well.

Having lived for so long, Wei Wuya was beyond cunning and was able to see their intents at a glance, so he called out to them, Snap out of your foolishness! Do you truly believe you will still be yourselves after being infused with devilish Qi? You could lose your intelligence and become a puppet of that Elder Devil.

Brother Wei, what do you mean? Wang Tiangu was immediately sobered as if cold water was dumped on his head.

Wei Wuya spoke without the slightest restraint, What do I mean? You dare to trust a devil from another world? Although I dont know exactly what this devilish Qi will do to you, do you truly believe that forcefully raising your cultivation with strange Qi from another world will be good?

The Ghost Spirit Sect Master and Wang Tiangus expression grew unsightly when they heard him. Then their gazes turned icy as they looked at the scholar.

When the scholar heard this, he frowned and thought to say something when Wei Wuyas face had a strange change.

There was a sudden whistle that shrieked three meters from a rock pile behind them and a black blur shot out of it, penetrating the scholars abdomen in an instant. Then it shot thirty meters away and spiralled in the air.

It was a small, jet-black snake. It had a small snow-white, thumb-sized horn that appeared incredibly sharp and a glossy black scaleless body.

A bowl-sized hole burst in the scholars abdomen. Because he didnt have a body of flesh, there was no blood, but the hole had revealed a shattered walnut-sized crystal remaining in the body.

The scholar stared at the shattered gem with an expression of disbelief. How did you know where my soul stone was?

From the green mist, Wei Wuya emotionlessly said, I do not cultivate the Ghost Dao so I dont know what a soul stone is. However, my soul devouring snake is rather adept in dealing with Yin ghosts and demon souls. Killing a materialized soul remnant was an easy task.

When the scholar heard this, he wryly smiled and his body burst into a cloud of grey-white Qi that roiled throughout the air.

The Ghost Spirit Sect Master and Wang Tiangu appeared surprised when they saw this, but when they glanced at the huge demonic statue in the distance, they sighed with relief.

As Wang Tiangu looked at the devil corpse, he couldnt help but ask, Fellow Daoist Wei, shall we destroy the Elder Devil Corpse?

After some silence, Wei Wuya shook his head and said, If it could be destroyed, dont you think the ancient cultivators wouldve done so already? Itd be best if we left this place.

Wang Tiangu grew hesitant. The Ghost Spirit Sect Master then broke the silence and said, Brother Weis words are reasonable. This place is quite strange. Itd be best for us to leave sooner.

When Wang Tiangu heard this, he raised no further objections and took to the air. But suddenly, a voice spoke out from behind them, Who allowed you to leave? Since youve arrived at the place where my devil body was sealed, do you believe that youll be able to leave alive? Forfeit your lives while you still can!

When they heard this familiar voice, the cultivators quickly turned around in disbelief and saw that the white Yin Qi that previously scattered from the scholar had condensed once more into a ball.

In the blink of an eye, it took the form of a grey, single-horned ghost head that malevolently stared at the three cultivators.

Having seen this, the Ghost Spirit Sect Master was the first amongst them to attack. He quickly raised his hand and released a black flying dagger. It sliced through the center of the ghost head, but the split halves of the ghost head condensed back into one as if nothing had happened.

When the three saw this, they felt their breaths turn cold and their expressions revealed shock. The Ghost Spirit Sect Master in particular felt his heart drop.

The Ghost Spirit Sect were specialized in secret techniques that controlled and destroyed ghosts. The sect masters own flying dagger was refined with this powerful effect in mind. But hen it had no effect on the ghost head, leaving a faint feeling of dread appeared in his heart.

When Wei Wuya saw this, he sharply whistled and the horned snake spiralling in the air swept down in a black streak. At that same time, his green mist roiled and a large dark-green arm appeared from within it. In a faint tremble, it charged towards the ghost head in a fierce streak.

When the other two saw this, they had no intention of having Wei Wuya dealt with it on his own. One of them spun around and released a cloud of Yin Qi towards the ghost head and the other took a deep breath and spat out a sparkling gold skull that charged forward in a howl.

In an instant, the three joined hands against the grey ghost head.

But at that time, the ghost head soared from the grey mist and shrieks began to hiss from around it. These strange shrieks were sharp and soon the huge sealed devil corpse began to shine with black radiance. It suddenly opened its eyes and two streaks of crimson light shot out from their eyes and enveloping the ghost head in a layer of light.

A dense bloody scent filled the air. At that same moment, the various attacks landed and unceasing rumbles shook the air as black Qi and green light enveloped the crimson barrier. But soon, the three cultivators ceased their attacks in alarm, and the crimson barrier was visible once more.

Regardless of the black devilish Qi or the giant hand formed from poison mist, when their attacks contacted the barrier, they were immediately absorbed and caused the barrier to grow thicker. As for the black snake and golden skull, their attacks had little effect on the light barrier.

The three looked at each other in dismay. During this delay, an astonishing change appeared in the sealed devil corpse. Black light disappeared from it and it instead pulsed with crimson light. Threads of crimson light began to shine from its body, thoroughly enveloping the huge devil corpse in blinding red radiance.

Complimenting it, the horned ghost heads barrier also began to surge with crimson radiance and it closed its eyes. Then it began to grow countless slim tentacles of dark-red light from underneath it, eventually condensing together to form a body.

With radiance continuing to shine, the body began to grow flesh and bones with layers upon layers of light threads. This monstrous sight caused the cultivators to feel their backs turn numb.

Not only the Elder Devil Corpse, but the horned ghost also began to glow with light as flesh grew on him.

When Wang Tiangu saw the body take form from within the crimson barrier, he also noticed that the light from the sealed devil corpse quickly dimmed as it passed through the light that emitted from its eyes. In that moment, he suddenly recalled the name of a secret technique from legend. He couldnt help but shout, Decay Transformation! This is the supreme devilish technique, Decay Transformation!

He then raised his arms and shot out streaks of black light from his hands, striking the beams of light that connected the ghost head and the devil corpse with two palm-sized copper disks. The disks had black talisman characters that roamed across their surface.

When the other two heard Wang Tiangu name the technique, they felt their hearts jump in fright and they unconsciously focused their sights on his attack.

When the two copper disks pierced into the crimson beams of light, they brightly shined with black light and severed the connection.

At that moment, the ghost head already had a mostly complete devil body in its possession. It opened its eyes, one purple and one black, both shining with a demonic light. It then wore a savage grin.
