Chapter 495: Mysterious Scroll Painting

Han Li had already been prepared for the arrow to attempt to escape. Within the arrows first few meters of flight, Han Li shot out an azure swordstreak that intercepted it, causing it to tumble.

In that opening, the Weeping Soul Beast wrapped the small arrow in a yellow radiance, causing the magic treasure to incessantly flash. The arrow dashed back and forth within the cage of light as if wanting to escape, but the yellow light appeared immensely more powerful than it. No matter how much the arrow struggled, it was unable to escape. This was to be expected of the beast that was known to be the bane of all ghosts.

As the small arrows resistance grew weaker, yellow threads shot out from the cage of light and tightly bound the small arrow in an instant. The yellow threads then grew taut and dragged out a ball of green light from within the small arrow.

The green light was ensnared by many yellow threads and incessantly transformed into all sorts of animals and insects as well as fluctuating in size in its attempt to break free. Despite its efforts, it was unable to escape from the yellow threads and was gradually drawn closer and closer to the Weeping Soul Beasts nose.

At that moment, the green light grew panicked and transformed into the face of an old man. The light loudly pleaded towards Han Li, Young Friend Han, I beg you to let me go. So long as you spare my life, I will willingly serve you for the rest of my life. The number of strange and secret techniques I know are countless, and I am willing to give you all of them! Moreover, doesnt Young Friend Han wish to learn the entirety of the Profound Yin Arts? I didnt even teach the last few layers to my traitorous disciple Zenith Yin. Doesnt Fellow Daoist Han also wish to know about the wonders of Profound Soul Demonification? Although my own estate had been seized by Zenith Yin, I still have many secret cave dwellings, each containing their own hidden treasures. This old servant is willing to fully devote himself to you…

The more the ghostly face spoke, the quicker the words came out and the more panicked it appeared. He even took the initiative to offer to become a servant because at that moment, he was only about a foot away from the Weeping Soul Beasts nose.

If he were to truly be absorbed by the beast, even if his soul were more tenacious, he would never be able to escape.

Despite having a will far more staunch and unwavering than others, Han Lis heart thumped upon hearing the Bone Sages offers, and his face revealed a trace of hesitation.

Perhaps due to having seen Han Lis hesitation, the ghost revealed his greatest trump card with a low roar, Even if Fellow Daoist Han doesnt want those things, dont you want to know the weaknesses of Zenith Yins cultivation arts? And how about removing the tracing mark he placed on your body?

Han Lis gaze flickered several times and his expression continuously shifted. He sighed and lightly waved his hand, causing the radiance encasing the Bone Sage to grow still, preventing him from continuing towards the Weeping Soul Beasts nose.

The thread-bound ghost rejoiced and sighed with relief, Young Friend Han, you are truly wise! By sparing this old man… The ghost face forced a smile and intended to ingratiate himself to Han Li.

But when the Bone Sage was about to continue, the Weeping Soul Beast snorted and resumed sucking in the Bone Sage. With his guard now down, he was sucked in without the slightest resistance.

At that moment, Han Li wore a cold sneer.

The Weeping Soul Beast burped as if it was quite satisfied with his meal and clumsily patted its stomach.

With a faint smile, Han Li shook the Weeping Soul Pearl in his hand and returned the beast to his storage pouch.

Han Li walked forward with the small green arrow now in his grasp. As he gazed at it, he muttered, You want to be my servant? How could I possibly choose to act against my own interests?! You lived for over a thousand years! It would already be baseless flattery to say that I could possibly stand to outscheme you. Killing you now will save me quite a bit trouble. Who knows when you would betray me.

Even now, Han Li was unable to understand whether the ghost had been the Bone Sages true soul or a soul shard that he had split off earlier! Han Li wouldnt be surprised if Ghost Daoists had such soul splitting techniques.

After Han Li picked up the Five Element Bands that were lying nearby, and lingered for a moment. The ghost face had reminded him of the marker that Zenith Yin had placed on him. If he didnt figure out how to remove it, he might be detected immediately after he left the barrier.

Han Li had already examined himself several times with his spiritual sense, but hadnt been able to find the slightest trace. However, Han Li still had another way to look for any markings. Otherwise, he wouldnt have so rashly exterminated the ghost.

Han Li released several thousand Gold Devouring Beetles into the air and had them crawl all over his body.

After a short moment, a few of the Gold Devouring Beetles on his lower leg released a peculiar shriek.

Han Li rejoiced and issued the command. The Gold Devouring Beetles on his leg became restless for a moment, before they all returned to his spirit beast pouch. Han Li then flew towards the stone steps without further delay.

He felt that he had tarried for far too long and was on edge with fear.

He traveled the hundred meters down the stairs in the blink of an eye. Han Li then opened his mouth and spat out a streak of blue light, cleaving open a three meter hole in the light barrier with his Bamboo Cloudswarm Sword. He then shot out of the hole in a streak of light.

According to his calculations, his best bet would be to stealthily return to the first or second floor and enter one of the doors. Afterwards, he would break the restrictions on the secret room and return to Heavenvoid Hall. As for the rooms on the other floors, they were far too dangerous for him.

Han Li shot along the path he remembered in complete silence. On his way back, the restrictions and puppets had all been long since eliminated. Apart from being careful about avoiding the old devils, he didnt have any other worries, and flew as boldly as he could.

Because Han Li could see the path ahead with his spiritual sense, he took out the shabby scroll he had acquired from the hollow wall and decided to use the time to read it. fгeewbnoel.cm

Yi!

After taking several quick glances at it, he couldnt help but yell in shock and slow down, despite having planned to rush through the passageway. The scroll didnt appear exceptional and didnt contain the slightest spiritual power. Rather, the scroll contained a rather crude and simple drawing, depicting a vague map.

After Han Li studied it several times, he immediately recognized it to be a map of the fifth floor of the Inner Halls.

Needless to say, there was a drawing of a stone platform along with a cauldron that had two handles and three legs at the very top. This was clearly a picture of the Heavenvoid Cauldron. There was also a crossed marking in front of it that was certain to be indicating a secret room!.

But what shocked Han Li the most were the passageways that were traced with bright red ink, standing out from the rest of the black ink map. The route led to a picture of a high wall with a transportation formation behind it.

According to Han Lis original plan, he would return to the first or second floor and pray that he wouldnt encounter any of the old devils along the way. If this map was accurate, then couldnt he just use the transportation formation it showed to leave this place? Even if it didnt take him outside of the Heavenvoid Hall, it would almost certainly be much safer than foolishly forcing his way through the fifth floor.

Han Li was more specifically tempted by how close he already was to the marked path. He was only an intersection away from entering the red lined path.

However, his sole worry was whether or not he would encounter any restrictions or puppets along the way. He had no worries towards the validity of the map. How could it possibly be fake? Not only was it hidden behind a hollow wall, but it seemed to be as old as the Heavenvoid Hall itself. Who would spend so much effort just to play a joke?

After extended period of indecision, Han Li arrived at the intersection. He continuously glanced around as he was still unsure of what path to take.

Whatever! If I come across any dangers, at worst, Ill just return to the previous path. According to the map, the route isnt very long. As such, it should prove much safer than returning to the previous floor. Moreover, he didnt believe that the map would mark out a route for escape that would include many dangers along its path.

With that thought, Han Li spread out his arms. Many lights flashed around him to reveal a crowd of huge ape puppets. Under his command, they immediately set forth down the passage as he closely followed after them with a solemn expression.

An unfortunate reality.

Chapter 494: Celestial Ice Pearl

Han Li felt his blood run cold and his face trembled upon witnessing the ferocity of the Asura Flames.

After the grey flames incinerated the Bone Sage, they condensed into a delicate ember and flew off.

For some unknown reason, the Bone Sages death had caused a strange transformation in the Asura Flames. All of the grey embers simultaneously released a thread of dark green Qi along with a spark of black lightning, turning the embers blue in an instant. The embers appeared to have returned to their original form as Celestial Ice Flames.

Han Li suddenly felt his surroundings compress, as the air filled with blue glacial Qi. The glacial Qi started to cover the ground in thin layer of ice, spreading to the rest of the area within the light barrier. freewenovel.cm

Han Li turned pale from fright at the sudden onslaught of cold and wildly poured spiritual power into the White Rhino Emblem. A scorching white light was emitted that repelled the cold Qi, barring it from approaching his body.

It seemed the Celestial Ice Flames true capabilities were only displayed after the Bone Sage had lost control. In only a short moment, the entire surface of the stone platform had been covered in a sheet of frost. Han Lis barrier of white light barely managed to protect him, but it massively drained his magic power, causing him to bitterly curse.

Han Li now understood that the Bone Sages Celestial Ice Flames were weakened from either his shallow cultivation or a lack of time to refine them. This would explain why he had only been able to use a faction of its true power a moment ago.

Had the Bone Sage displayed this fearsome power with his Celestial Ice Flames from the start, he wouldve been able to kill Han Li several times over without having any need to refine the Asura Flames. In addition, it is likely that the true power of the Asura Flames hadnt been displayed either. Its power had probably only reached a tenth of its potential!

As these domineering thoughts entered his mind, he had nearly deduced the entire truth of the matter. Regardless, he wasnt about to let himself to foolishly meet his end by the masterless Celestial Ice Flames after having put so much effort into eliminating the Bone Sage.

At that moment, he grit his teeth and reached for the spirit beast pouch at his waist. He was going to release the Gold Devouring Beetles and see whether or not they could increase his odds of survival.

The still immature Gold Devouring Beetles were certain to be unable to resist the fearsome chill, but Han Li didnt have many options left to keep his life.

Han Lis palm moved and just as he was about to open the spirit beast pouch a sudden change occurred.

The floating blue embers throughout the room suddenly flickered several times before releasing a clear ringing sound. They seemed to have received some sort of command and started to shoot towards the sky, condensing into a single solid form.

A short moment later, a shining blue light sphere appeared in the sky. As soon as this fist-sized blue ice pearl had appeared, the fantastical chill within the stone platform instantly disappeared as if it had never been there.

Having already opened his spirit beast pouch halfway, Han Li was dumbfounded, but he soon found himself overwhelmed with delighted surprise. Regardless of what strange transformations the Celestial Ice Flames underwent, he could now safely make his escape.

At that moment, the blue ice pearl slowly floated down from the sky and stopped in front of Han Li.

Han Li looked at the ice pearl with a strange expression. After some contemplation, he reached out his hand and shot a bolt of the remnant lightning at it. After winding around the ice pearl for a moment, the pearl had been restrained and obediently entered the lightnings control with no further surprises.

Han Lis expression grew solemn. He didnt dare to be overly confident, and carefully flicked his wrist, having the golden lightning slowly draw the ice pearl towards him.

He had the pearl stop about a foot away from him, and looked at it with trepidation. With his hand firmly covered in azure light, he carefully reached out to it.

Although his hand was still covered in dense true essence, Han Li could feel a slight chill through it. It seemed that after the Celestial Ice Flames had condensed into this pearl, its glacial qi had been completely sealed.

As such, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed the light surrounding his hand. He grabbed the pearl with three fingers and carefully examined it.

The blue pearls exterior was solid blue crystal while its interior consisted of raging flames.

Han Li hesitated for a moment. This Celestial Ice Pearl was a treasure that had scarcely, if ever, appeared in this world. It could be considered a treasure even more valuable than the Heavenvoid Cauldron.

Although he didnt know how this ice-fire pearl could be refined or used, it was something that he absolutely couldnt discard. After having witnessed the viciousness of the Azure Sun Devil Fire1. First and only appearance in chapter 266. and the Heavenwide Corpse Fire, Han Li found himself desiring a powerful flame of his own. And even better, the Celestial Ice Flames power was even greater than the previous flames he had witnessed.

With this, he would be able to fulfill his long desire of possessing some truly ferocious flames. Although attempting to use and acquire it possessed a certain degree of danger, Han Li was more than willing to brave the risk.

With that thought, Han Li shot out a spark of gold lightning and wrapped the ice pearl in successive layers of lightning. A short moment later, he held the lightning-clad pearl in his hand while sparks of lightning occasionally arced off the ball. The result set Han Lis mind at ease.

If the ice pearl was to rupture once more, the cover of Devilbane Lightning would be able to buy him enough time to wrest control over it. After having just battled against these very flames, he was completely confident that the Divine Devilbane Lightning could restrain them if need be. There would be no fear of any sudden backlash.

However, he had now truly exhausted the reserve of Devilbane Lightning inside his body. Not even a spark remained.

However, Han Li couldnt bring himself to care as he put the pearl inside a square jade box and properly placed it away.

At that moment, Han Li finally had the chance to take a breath and make a quick flight to the altar. He placed his over exhausted Bloodjade Spider into his spirit beast pouch. As for the refined spider corpse, it had long stopped moving.

Han Li couldnt help but stop when he arrived at where the Bone Sage perished. With an astonished expression, he waved his hand. An item that faintly shone with white light flew into his hand from within the ashes.

It turned out to be a flawless white gem that was several inches long. After sizing it up for a moment, he recognized it to be the Bone Sages rib bone.

Han Li was quite amazed to find that it had been completely unharmed by the Sacred Asura Flames.

When he had first seen it inside the Bone Sages prison, the rib bone had contained the map of Heavenvoid Hall.

Could it be that the rib bone holds other items as well? After some further thought, Han Li placed it into his storage pouch. Now was not the time to examine his spoils as his escape and survival were the far more urgent matters at hand.

Just as Han Li flew towards the steps, he unexpectedly found a dormant emerald-green arrow on the ground.

Han Li frowned and waved his hand, sweeping the treasure into his grasp with a streak of azure light.

After a casual inspection, Han Li placed the arrow into his bag, but a strange ringing then unexpectedly sounded out from within his spirit beast pouch.

Han Lis heart stirred, and he couldnt help but be his surprised.

After frowning with some deliberation, he suddenly slapped his storage pouch. A streak of light circled around him before revealing itself to be the soul devouring Weeping Soul Beast.

Han Li opened his mouth and spat out the grey pearl used to control it, the Weeping Soul Pearl.

Han Li had found the circumstances from when Yuan Yao handed this beast over to him to be quite strange. As a result, he hadnt refined the control pearl. However, it was still an easy matter to erase her lingering spiritual sense from the pearl and exert control over the Weeping Soul Beast.

As he held onto the Weeping Soul Pearl, he stared at the small emerald-green arrow and suddenly opened his mouth. An azure ball of core flame enveloped the arrow and started to slowly refine it.

At first the arrow didnt reveal the slightest reaction as if it were truly dead.

A cold glint then flashed through Han Lis eyes. After licking his lips, he threw the arrow into the air and gave the Weeping Soul Beast a command. The beast suddenly snorted and shot out a yellow mist, enveloping the small arrow.

The small arrow had originally stayed still, but upon seeing the yellow mist, it flashed with green light several times, enveloping itself in a streak of green radiance accompanied by a sharp whistle. The arrow then shot directly towards the stone stairs as if it were terrified by the yellow mist.

The Bone Sages Death /expand

Han Lis expression became unsightly.

The web of lightning around Han Li had stopped the grey flames for the time being, but it appeared as if there was nothing that the flames couldnt burn. The lightning had already been set aflame, transforming the web of lightning into a cage of grey flame, trapping Han Li within. Now, he couldnt even escape if he wanted to.

But what worried Han Li even more was that as the grey flames burned away at the net of golden lightning, he could slowly feel the lightning contained inside his body slowly withering away.

The decaying nature of the flames gave the Sacred Asure Flames an overwhelming advantage.

The Bone Sage deeply sighed in relief and smiled. He felt confident that Han Li had no method of breaking free of the prison of grey flame.

Based on the flames legends, the Bone Sage believed that even a Nascent Soul cultivator trapped by it would have to greatly damage their Origin Qi by using a secret technique in order to escape. Once he refined his own asura flame and restored his Nascent Soul to the peak of his cultivation, he was convinced that it would be possible for him to rule over half of the Scattered Star Seas.

With that thought, the Bone Sage let his imagination run wild. In his eyes, Han Li was already a dead man.

The situation was growing increasingly dire!

As the golden net of lightning shrank, it eventually arrived on the verge of collapse. In response, Han Li expressionlessly spread out his palms and shot out dense arcs of golden lightning towards the net.

The seemingly unending stream of golden lightning from Han Lis palms merged with the net, causing the withering net to immediately flourish brightly once more. Not only was it restored to its original size, but it also began to astonishingly launch an unending storm of lightning against the surrounding grey flames, pushing back the flames with great momentum.

The Bone Sages eyes widened and he nearly jumped! He now truly understood what it meant for Heavens will to overturn mans.

The absurd amount of Divine Devilbane Lightning in Han Lis body was wreaking havoc on the Bone Sages nerves.

Even though the Sacred Asura Flames were an existence a level above the Divine Devilbane Lightning, there was just far too much lightning. It was uncertain which would win!

The Bone Sage glared at Han Li as if he were looking at a monster.

Yet again, his mind was plagued by doubts. Just how many Gold Lightning Bamboo magic treasures does Han Li have stored in that small body of his? Was it possible that his supply of Devilbane Lightning was endless?

Just as that thought entered his mind, the Bone Sage fiercely bit down on the tip of his tongue. With sharp pain and the taste of blood, he managed to regain clarity of mind. He lightly shook his head and dismissed such absurd thoughts.

Endless amounts of Devilbane Lightning? That was obviously impossible. He was merely unsure about the quantity of Han Lis lightning.

However, the Bone Sage was convinced that with few a more bursts of lightning, Han Li was certain to run dry. When that happened, he would be able to easily kill Han Li, and take his many Gold Lightning Bamboo magic treasures for himself.

With that thought, the Bone Sage roused his spirits and fiercely gazed at Han Li with newfound greed, raising his orb of light above his head.

Earlier, the Bone Sage had only refined less than half of his Celestial Ice Flames into Asura Flames in order to reduce the odds of backlash. But it appeared that this wouldnt be enough to kill Han Li as he still had Devilbane Lightning in reserve. In order to kill Han Li in one move, he would have to refine all of his remaining Celestial Ice Flames.

He then nodded his head in approval of his thoughts and formed an incantation gesture once more. The orb of light quickly rotated, glowing once more with dazzling brilliance.

When Han Li saw this, his heart broke out into a chill.

It was as the Bone Sage had anticipated. Han Lis continuous use of the Devilbane Lightning had left it on the verge of being exhausted after having dealt with the Bone Sages Celestial Ice and Sacred Asura Flames. Having seen the Bone Sage about to launch another attack with his Sacred Asura Flames, Han Li pondered whether or not his remaining Devilbane Lightning would be enough to break himself free.

His only option was to break through the cage of flames and flee. After all, no matter how mighty the Sacred Asura Flames were, their power meant nothing if it couldnt connect.

With that thought, Han Li came to a decision. He released the remaining Devilbane Lightning in a single, instantaneous burst, shooting out two arm-thick bolts of lightning from his hands into the net.

The gold net of lightning rapidly swayed with muffled rolls of thunder before exploding in a burst of golden brilliance. Countless arcs of golden lightning pushed back the few remaining grey flames far away.

At that moment, Han Lis body flickered several times and reappeared about ten meters away. During that moment, Han Li was filled with apprehension.

He feared that if he wasnt careful, he would make contact with a sliver of grey flame, something that would prove to be absolutely deadly. But now that he had made it past the barrier of Sacred Asura Flames, he used his cloak without the hesitation. With a flash of blood-red light, he started to float off the ground.

He had already decided to shoot straight towards the stone stairs and have his Cloudswarm Bamboo Swords break through the barrier, allowing him to make a clean escape.

The Bone Sage guessed what Han Li intended and immediately grew anxious. He immediately surged his magic power into the light orb and quickened its transformation. With a huge rumble, the entire light orb was set alight with grey flame as if it were made completely out of Sacred Asura Flames.

But strangely, the center of the orb still had a small ball of blue light. It continuously flickered, appearing quite unstable.

The Bone Sage was initially surprised when he saw this, but he didnt take it very seriously. As his current magic power wasnt much, it wasnt particularly alarming if the transformation was incomplete..

He was currently focused on Han Lis imminent escape. Nothing he could say would stop him now.

The Bone Sage lightly beckoned to the orb of grey flames. The orb of flames lightly trembled several times and started to follow his orders to attack.

But a sudden transformation had occurred.

The remnant of blue light inside the orb suddenly flickered several times before it ruptured from the center of the orb. The orb suddenly became uneven and distorted, releasing a faint but shrieking whistle from it.

The Bone Sage was greatly frightened and hastily attempted to control the orbs distortions. He had long since forgotten that the Sacred Asura Flames wasnt something that he had truly refined. He was only able to manipulate it through the aid of external forces.

Now having encountered the disturbance of its core rupturing, the flame orb was completely unstable and had gone frantically out of control. His meager magic power didnt have the slightest effect in controlling it!

As his head was lined with sweat, the flame orb suddenly dissolved into the colors of white, green, and black, and ruptured above the Bone Sages head, releasing countless embers of grey flame.

The Bone Sages expression turned bloodlessly pale! He hastily started to turn his body without a thought, forming a vortex of black and green ghost Qi towards the embers in an attempt to restrain them.

In the following instant, an arrow-like bolt of black lightning shot towards the ruptured orb in an attempt to save the Bone Sages life.

Although the vortex of ghost Qi appeared overbearing, they melted away into nothingness upon touching the embers of grey flame to no effect.

While the embers did not fall at a fast speed, they were widely spread out over a great distance and drifted from place to place. But he should still be able to run from them, if just barely!

When Han Li witnessed this reversal, he immediately changed his mind. He made use of the opportunity to shoot out ten streaks of Azure Essence Swordlight from his fingertips and blocked the Bone Sages path of escape.

The Bone Sage inwardly cursed with alarm and fury.

He was too preoccupied at that moment to dodge! He could only cross his arms in front of him with gritted teeth and emit a thin layer of green Qi before charging forwards.

Just before a streak of azure light struck him, he shot out a black streak of light from his mouth, his magic treasure — the Gold Lightning Bamboo arrow. After striking the fifth streak of azure light, it was knocked to the side. As for the rest of the sword streaks, the Bone Sage directly received them with his arms.

Five muffled explosions sounded out.

The Bone Sage had clearly underestimated the might of Han Lis Azure Essence Swordlight. Although he managed to repel the first four streaks of azure swordlight, the last strike had broken through his green Qi and struck his true body, pushing him back by several steps.

In that moment, the Bone Sages mind froze in terror! With a faceful of panic, he hastily reached to take something out from his robes. But before that happened, a miniscule, faint ember of grey flame had landed on his shoulder.

Woosh. Grey flame wildly ignited.

Without even the slightest scream, the Bone Sages body succumbed to the flames, leaving nothing but drifting ash behind.

Of course.

Chapter 492: Divine Devilbane Lightning vs. the Sacred Asura Flame

Restrict! Han Li clutched his hands in an incantation gesture and sent an order to the ancient treasure.

The five copper bands suddenly tightened and firmly locked onto his limbs.

The Bone Sage revealed pain upon the clasp of the ancient treasures, but a derisive expression soon appeared on his face. Hehe! The Five Element Bands! Although theyre rather famous ancient magic treasure, theyre entirely useless on anyone possessing mutated spiritual roots, those possessing far greater cultivation than the wielder, or fallen cultivators — like me.

He then raised his hand without the slightest obstruction and slapped the orb of light in front of him. The orb sparkled and cracked open in a huge burst of fluttering blue flame.

A long ribbon of blue flame shot out from the orb and lightly swept past the Bone Sages limbs and neck, condensing a thick layer of ice on the tightly locked copper bands.

Afterwards, the Bone Sages body underwent a series of inconceivable twists and distortions. With a series of crisp clanks, the frozen copper bands then fell to the ground.

Han Lis heart dropped. Without any further thought, he opened his mouth and spat out nine small azure swords. They merged into one huge sword in the air before ruthlessly cleaving towards the Bone Sage.

The Bone Sages face became stern upon seeing this.

He lifted the orb of light in his hands causing the tear to grow larger, causing it to spurt out a large jet of ice blue flame.

The jet of flame transformed into a five clawed dragon of translucent ice, whose entire body shined with a cold blue light. It used its two front claws to block the huge azure sword and viciously unleashed a breath of blue flame onto the sword.

After only a moment, the huge swords brilliance greatly dimmed and a thin layer of transparent frost began to form on the swords surface, causing the swords movements to become sluggish.

With a roar of thunder, several arcs of golden lightning shot out from the sword, fiercely striking the ice dragons body. The dragon was knocked back, freeing the huge sword from its constraint for the time being.

You still want to run? Your set of Golden Lightning Bamboo swords shouldnt have much Divine Devilbane Lightning left. Lets see just how many more times you can keep it up. The Bone Sage sinisterly grinned and pointed at the ice dragon, causing it to charge at Han Lis swords once more.

Han Lis heart stirred. Although the Bone Sage appeared unworried, Han Li could faintly perceive that the Bone Sage held some fear towards the Divine Devilbane Lightning.

Following that line of reasoning, Han Li launched a magic seal towards the huge sword. He then pointed at the sword and ordered it to intensely sway into a blur, forming an identical copy of the huge sword. This was the Azure Essence Sword Arts Swordshadow Phantasm Technique. Both of the swords simultaneously released a dense stream of faint gold lightning. One was aimed at the ice dragon with the other targeting the Bone Sage.

Yi! The Bone Sage cried out in amazement.

The Bone Sage was astonished. Not only did Han Li still have the strength to release such strong bolts of Devilbane Lightning, he was able of creating another huge sword.

However, this astonishment only lasted for a moment before disappearing. The Bone Sage then calmly slapped the light orb, spouting out another jet of blue flame.

This time, the ice flames wavered several times and transformed into a triangular shield of ice. The blue mist emitted from the surface of the ice shield blocked the dense bolt of Devilbane Lightning, resulting in a deadlock for a short while.

Rather than panic, Han Li rejoiced at the sight.

Although the Devilbane Lightning was unable to restrain the Celestial Ice Flames glacial Qi, it was mutual for the flames as well. The victor of the conflict would be the side that contained the most power.

Having thought that, Han Li patted the storage pouch at his waist. A blood-red cloak appeared on his body. Although he hadnt yet reached a state of desperation, he thought it was best to be prepared for any contingencies.

Afterwards, Han Li hurriedly clasped his hands together and his expression became increasingly grave.

With rolls of thunder, an orb of faint gold lightning appeared at the center of his hands. Tiny arcs of lightning continuously sparked from its surface.

The orb of lightning was only several inches thick, but Han Li didnt stopped there. Emitting the hum of electric current, the orb gradually expanded, growing several inches in the blink of an eye.

The Bone Sage controlled the Celestial Ice Flame and planned to attack the two huge azure swords, but his face paled in complete disbelief when he saw Han Li.

He could hardly believe what he was seeing. Han Li was still able to produce such a large sphere of lightning. Just how many swords of Golden Lightning Bamboo did he have?

Apprehension surged through him!

The only reason he had turned hostile was because he believed he would be able to kill Han Li without much effort, given the profound might of his newly acquired Celestial Ice Flames.

Although he had had yet to refine the ice flames into Sacred Asura Flames, he was able to barely control it with the use of his Profound Soul Yin Flames along with his own Divine Devilbane Lightning.

The Bone Sage knew that the Devilbane Lightning was able to block the glacial Qi of the Celestial Ice Flames and that Han Li possessed the ability to use it. But he hadnt expected that he would be unable to kill Han Li during this time.

The Bone Sage assessed that Han Li shouldve already spent a majority of his Divine Devilbane Lightning to ward off his earlier ambush during their capture of the Ninecurl Ginseng. As a result, Han Li should of been unable to block his Celestial Ice flames. After all, there wasnt enough Gold Lightning Bamboo in the world to make that many magic treasures out of it.

But that was exactly why the Bone Sage felt such disbelief at the quantity of Gold Lightning Bamboo swords that Han Li possessed!

Divine Devilbane Lightning was something that was sparingly used as it took quite some time to recover. As Han Li shouldnt have had much Devilbane Lightning in reserve, the Bone Sage took the opportunity to eliminate him!

Although he felt particularly full of loathing towards his traitorous disciple Zenith Yin, his ambitions soared after he acquired the Celestial Ice Flame. So long as he refined the Sacred Asura Flames, it was possible for him to become the hegemon of the Scattered Star Seas.

As Devilbane Lightning was the bane of Ghost Dao cultivators such as himself, Han Li, the possessor the Gold Lightning Bamboo swords, became his first target of elimination. And later, with the assistance of Man Huzi, the Bone Sage would be able to easily exterminate Zenith Yin.

The powerful streams of lightning that Han Li had released from his two swords had already been enough to surprise the Bone Sage. As for the appearance of the large sphere of golden lightning in Han Lis hands, that had left him dumbfounded.

This was entirely beyond what he had predicted!

A mere early Core Formation cultivator actually possessed countless Gold Lightning Bamboo treasures in his body. The Bone Sage felt regret, but even stronger sensations of shock and disbelief.

Just how many magic treasures of Gold Lightning Bamboo did he actually have? These swirling, inexplicable doubts formed an immense, massive weight upon his heart.

As the Bone Sage gazed on in astonishment, the sphere of lightning in Han Lis hands grew to the size of about a meter and now floated a meter above his head. A deafening current of electricity could be heard from it.

The Bone Sage regained his bearings but his face still remained pale. His previous quantity of Divine Devilbane Lightning was nothing in comparison to this.

The Bone Sage furiously gritted his teeth and said, Good! Very good! Although I dont know how you managed to acquire so many Gold Lightning Bamboo magic treasures, you were doomed to become the nemesis of all Ghost Dao cultivators the day they came into your possession. Today, I will have you witness the might of the Ghost Daos Sacred Asura Flames!

It was already too already too late for him to withdraw, so he prepared to combine the three energies to create the legendary Sacred Asura Flames. He hoped the flame would be able to break through Han Lis Divine Devilbane Lightning in a single strike and still the disturbance in his heart.

Of course, forcefully creating these sacred flames in such a short period of time was extremely dangerous. The possibility of a backlash could occur at any moment, but the Bone Sage currently had no choice.

While he had other methods for slowly whittling away at Han Lis divine methods and the ability to use both his techniques and abilities to avoid it, he didnt have the time to use them. That would either allow Han Li to escape or cause enough of a delay for the others to return.

As a result, he could only clench his teeth and revolve his hands around the orb of light. Streaks of all sorts of magic seals continuously flew into it.

At that moment, the light orb seemed alive. The blue flame at its center started to quickly rotate as the outer shell of Profound Soul Yin Flames and Black Devilbane Lightning revolved in the opposite direction.

A short moment later, the entire orb released a blinding radiance. In the following moment, countless gray embers of astonishingly cold flame wildly rushed towards Han Li with overwhelming speed.

After a moment of surprise, Han Lis face grew stern. Although he hadnt heard of this Sacred Asura Flame before, he knew it would be no less powerful than the Celestial Ice Flames.

With a grave expression, Han Li ceased pouring more lightning into the huge sphere and used his fingers to quickly form many incantation gestures as he began to mutter an incantation.

The golden ball of lightning began to stretch, transforming into a web of lightning around him.

Soon after, the embers of grey flame ruthlessly struck the gold lightning. In that instant, gold light and white flames intertwined, releasing both rolls of thunder and screeching whistles.

Chapter 491: Acquiring the Cauldron

The Heavenvoid Cauldron had a flat bottom, two handles, and three legs. At over a meter tall and three meters wide, it couldnt be considered very large.

It had a slightly protruding lid covered in carvings of beasts and insects along with various landscapes. Although they appeared rough and crude, they were true to life and exuded an aura of untamed antiquity.

Just as the cauldron emerged from the hole, a faint hum was heard that gradually became louder. At the same time, the blue flames surrounding the cauldon flared before swelling to several times their original size.

Having originally been standing near the hole, Han Li and the Bone Sage revealed expressions of shock at nearly the same time and increased their distance from the altar.

The entire area within thirty meters of the altar glowed with faint blue light and was completely frozen over.

Apart from the minor flickering of the blue flames at the hole and the movements of the blood-red spiders, everything had been encased in blue ice. Had Han Li and the Bone Sage been slower, they wouldve undoubtedly been frozen as well.

At that moment, the entire altar was covered in a dome of blue crystal.

Han Li couldnt help but betray his shock upon seeing this astonishing scene and asked, How are we supposed to get the treasure out of that? Han Li gazed at the marvelous frozen scene without any idea of where to begin.

The Bone Sage stared at the Celestial Ice Flames with a solemn expression and said, Its not a problem. I have a way of restraining the Celestial Ice Flames. My Profound Soul Ghost Flames are also cold by nature. Although it is in no way its equal, I will be able to break through the crystal and separate the flames from the cauldron. In that moment, you will take the cauldron out of the hole.

Although his voice sounded cold, Han Li was able to make out a trace of excitement.

Han Li was shocked! The Bone Sage took the initiative to deal with the extremely dangerous blue flames and wanted him to extract the cauldron. As this was truly unexpected, he couldnt help but look at the Bone Sage with an odd expression.

Han Li absolutely didnt believe that the old devil was doing this out of kindness. However, this method didnt seem to have any faults. Could it be that it was more dangerous to acquire the Heavenvoid Cauldron? Suspicions began to surge through Han Lis mind.

Naturally, Han Li would definitely have refused if the Bone Sage proposed that Han Li would deal with the ice flame, and he would acquire the treasure. With that thought, Han Li could only agree.

He couldnt shrink back now, so his only option was to move forward with discretion. If anything went amiss while acquiring the cauldron, he would naturally choose to save his own life over acquiring the treasure.

Having come to this decision, Han Li casually nodded towards the Bone Sage in agreement.

The Bone Sage responded with a pleased smile. He then glanced at the ice flames several times with an odd expression before his body began to revolve in the air. Ghostly Qi began to spiral around his body, creating a three meter wide dark-green tornado. The air surrounding him became a dense mist that intermittently released faint ghostly wails. The whirlwind then dropped down towards the blue flames.

A huge rumble erupted as the whirlwind dropped down, igniting into a torrent of flame. The result was a forty meter high pillar of red and white flames revolving around a core of dark-green flame. It completely lacked any warmth and instead gave off an extremely cold impression.

Han Lis eyes widened as he stared at the pillar of fire colliding against the blue frost.

In that instant, the three colors of light intertwined into one, producing a harsh sound of scraping metal, causing Han Li to frown.

Han Li soon unfurled his frown as the flame pillar managed to forcibly drill a passage straight towards the center of the blue flame.

Han Li grew nervous at the sight and quickly linked his consciousness to the Bloodjade Spider. So long as the Bone Sage truly managed to separate the Heavenvoid Cauldron from the Celestial Ice Flames, he would immediately order his Bloodjade Spider to exert its strength.

Eventually, the Bone Sages pillar of fire managed to reach the hole.

The flickering, glaring blue flames remained dormant for a short moment before finally erupting. In that instant, the pillar of flame transformed into a huge dark-green lotus, wrapping around the Heavenvoid Cauldron.

Han Li was shocked at the sight. The first thought that came to his mind was that the Bone Sage had reneged on their agreement and intended to keep the Heavenvoid Cauldron for himself. With that thought, he immediately prepared the five-colored copper band and became vigilant. However, the following scene caused Han Li to become relieved.

Shortly after, the huge lotus became enveloped in blue flames, becoming something like a shell over the Heavenvoid Cauldron.

Han Lis heart quickly thumped, and his face flushed with excitement. He sighed in awe of the Bone Sages marvelous technique and quickly ordered his Bloodjade Spider to exert its strength and lift.

With a loud cry, the taut web violently trembled as the Bloodjade Spider heaved at the cauldron with all its might, producing an unreal result that was completely unexpected.

The cauldron they had assumed was immensely heavy flew to Han Lis side as if it weighted nothing at all.

Han Li was overjoyed at first, but his mind then grew stern.

Not daring to be careless, he raised his hands and shot out two mists of light. They suddenly transformed into ropes along the way and wound around the cauldrons two handles. With a heavy pull, the cauldron fell about ten meters in front of Han Li.

Han Li was rather stunned at how easy it had been to acquire the Heavenvoid Cauldron.

He faintly felt that the reason why the treasure had been so easily acquired was because it had been separated from the Celestial Ice Flame.

However, those thoughts only lasted for a moment before they were tossed to the back of his mind. Han Li then shook the ropes, having them wrap around the cauldron and slowly drag it closer.

With a muttered incantation, the ropes quickly faded away and slowly dropped the Heavenvoid Cauldron into his hand.

This sequence of events went off alarmingly smoothly without even the slightest mishap. Han Li rubbed his finger against the lid of the cauldron, not daring to believe it. The Heavenvoid Cauldron, known to be the number one hidden treasure in the Scattered Star Seas, was now in his grasp!

Han Li attentively stared at the now fist-sized, miniature cauldron in his hand when a strange thought flickered through his mind, This cauldron cant be a fake, right?

At that moment, Han Lis thoughts were interrupted by a howl of mad laughter.

Haha! With Celestial Ice Flame, Profound Soul Yin Flame, and Divine Devilbane Lightning fused together, I will be able to cultivate the Sacred Asura Flames from lore! I hadnt guessed incorrectly. Haha…. It was clearly the Bone Sages voice but his voice was filled with ecstasy.

For some unknown reason, Han Lis heart dropped and his body broke into a chill. He squinted at the small cauldron in his hand and then expressionlessly glanced at the Bone Sage.

What Han Li saw alarmed him.

The green lotus had already disappeared. In its place was the Bone Sage with a foot-wide orb of light in his hand.

At first glance, the sphere of light appeared to be dark-green, but after further inspection, Han Li discovered a blue flame burning at its center. Although an outer layer of dark-green enveloped it, it restlessly flickered from place to place.

But even more astonishing were the black sparks of lightning that shot from the orb, producing slight rolls of thunder with each appearance.

Han Lis expression changed. Could it be that this had been the Bone Sages plan all along? freewenovl.co

Before Han Li could finish his thoughts and figure out the specifics of what had occurred, the Bone Sage started slowly walking towards Han Li, stopping when he was about thirty meters away.

His gaze fell onto the Heavenvoid Cauldron that Han Li was tightly grasping. With an odd expression in his eyes, he said, Very good, it seems nothing went wrong with my plan.

When Han Li heard this, he snorted and vigilantly watched the Bone Sage in silence.

The Bone Sage smiled and leisurely said, It looks like youve figured something out. Although I really want to give you an explanation, my time is quite limited and youre going to die soon, so Ill just have to be satisfied with giving you an ignorant death.

Han Lis heart trembled. It couldnt be more clear that the Bone Sage wanted to kill him and take the treasure.

Disinterested in wasting the time or breath required for any verbal squabbles or nonsensical words, Han Lis expression sank, and he attempted to seize the initiative.

His raised his hand, and sent out the copper bands that he had already prepared. With a flash of colorful light, they disappeared without a trace, reappearing only a moment later to restrain the Bone Sages neck and limbs!

Well…

Chapter 490: The Cauldrons Reappearance

The Bone Sage coldly said, Youngster Han, dont you wish to condense a Nascent Soul? The Heavenmend Pills greatest effect is that it purifies a Core Formation cultivators innate spiritual roots, allowing a cultivator to enter the Nascent Soul stage with greater ease.

Han Li was silent for a moment before turning around. He narrowed his eyes and spoke with disbelief, Purify ones spiritual roots? You must think I am a child! How could there be such a legendary, heaven-defying medicine? гeewebnovl.com

Hehe, its up to you whether or not you believe it. Do you think that I have lived my many years idly? Back then, I had captured a Star Palace elder and used soul searching techniques to acquire this information. The outside rumors that this pill can break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage, causes a massive increase of ones magic power, and can lengthen ones life are completely false. It had been proven when a Star Palace Master had personally consumed the Heavenmend Pill.

The Bone Sage calmly continued with a careless expression, And since youve already acquired the Ninecurl Ginseng, with the complimentary effects of the Heavenmend Pill, your odds of condensing a Nascent Soul will reach forty percent. If you wait another three hundred years to acquire a Heavenmend Pill, its effects will be of little use by then. This is due to the long process of spiritual root purification. It will take over a hundred years for the effects to be fully displayed.

A forty percent chance at Nascent Soul condensation? Han Li felt giddy with excitement.

As if having seen through Han Lis thoughts, the Bone Sage smiled and added, As for your worries that the tremors would be far too noticeable, even if a great catastrophe struck, there would be no way they could possibly know unless they saw it for their own eyes, the barrier completely isolates any disturbances that occur from within. They cant use their spiritual sense to observe what happens in here either. Why else would this Tailstar Barrier have been so renowned even in the era of antiquity! And if youre worried about your single Bloodjade Spider being unable to lift the cauldron, dont forget that I am Zenith Yins master. Even as a demon ghost, I am still capable of refining corpses.

With that said, the Bone Sage immediately opened his mouth and spat out a fist-sized ball of glimmering light towards the Bloodjade Spiders corpse next to the altar. In the blink of an eye, a dense, green mist enveloped the spider corpse that quickly absorbed it. A short moment later, the two halves of the spider began to join together. Green light flashed from the point of incision, and the Bloodjade Spider shakily stood up, whole once more.

Although Han Li managed to maintain a calm expression as he watched the scene, he was inwardly overwhelmed with shock. The world of cultivation truly had no shortage of extraordinary things! There was even such a technique that can refine a corpse in nearly an instant.

The Bone Sage made the spider corpse walk several steps before he turned to Han Li and confidently said, My corpse refinement technique is passable, yes? Although the refined spider corpse wont last for long, and it is somewhat weaker than when it was alive, it will have no problem lifting the cauldron with your surviving Bloodjade Spider. After we acquire the treasure, I will give you all the Heavenmend Pills as I have no need of them. Also, I will cede half of the Heavenvoid Cauldrons other treasures to you, but the cauldron is mine. How do you feel about this trade?

Humph! Your words may be extravagantly beautiful, but how do I know you wont immediately attack me after the Heavenvoid Cauldron is secure? After all, your cultivation and techniques are both an entire realm above me.

When the Bone Sage heard this, he inwardly rejoiced. Although Han Lis tone was quite harsh, it was clear he was on the cusp of agreeing. Now, it was only a matter of haggling over price.

As a result, the Bone Sage smiled and hastily said, Han Li, youre being far too humble! If I guessed correctly, if we were to fight to the death, the odds would be fifty-fifty. Moreover, such a battle wouldnt be concluded in a short amount of time, allowing an increased window for the others to return. Do you truly believe me to be so foolish as to bring about both of our deaths? Naturally, so long as you agree to help me acquire the treasure, I will hand over the Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng refinement formula over to you as a token of our sincere cooperation.

After this was said, the Bone Sage flipped his hand and tossed a white jade slip with an ancient aura towards Han Li.

Han LI quickly raised his hand and beckoned to the approaching jade slip. With an azure flash, a ball of azure light enveloped it, quickly bringing it to his palm.

The Bone Sage responded to Han Lis great carefulness with a chuckle and said nothing else.

Han Li quickly swept through the contents of the jade slip with his spiritual sense. Although he didnt have enough time to mull over whether or not the pill formula was genuine, it did mention the Ninecurl Spirit Ginseng as well as three supplementary medicinal ingredients Han Li had never heard of before.

After some consideration, Han Li bluntly put the jade slip into his storage pouch and raised his head. He calmly gazed at the Bone Sage and said, Fine, I will agree to these conditions. Lets immediately start retrieving the cauldron!

Since he had agreed to act, Han Li no longer delayed, as it would only allow their enemies more time to return. He quickly pat his spirit beast pouch causing his other Bloodjade Spider to appear with a flash of light.

Very good, you made the right choice. With an expression of excitement, the Bone Sage approached the hole and ordered the refined spider corpse to spit out a web at the cauldron, finishing his preparations first.

Han Li followed suit, calmly ordering his Bloodjade Spider to shoot a web at the Heavenvoid Cauldron as well.

The Bone Sage cast several magic seals of varying colors at his Bloodjade Spider as he gave an explanation, Lets be quick. We dont have much time. Although I cannot make use of the Berserking Technique in my current form, I can still use other slightly weaker supplementary techniques.

Suddenly, the Bloodjade Spider entered a frantic state. Apart from its blood-red shell, distinct black and green radiance were interweaved, making for quite a strange display.

Han Li frowned but remained silent. After all, without these supplementary techniques, the Bloodjade Spider would be incapable of lifting the Heavenvoid Cauldron.

With the combined power of the Bloodjade Spider and the spider corpse, the cauldron began to rise with violent quakes and flares of blue light.

Without the protection of Layman Qing Yi, Han Li could only rely on himself. He hastily cast a fire attribute barrier around himself and utilized the White Rhino Emblem to its maximum potential, immersing him in a blistering white light. And for the innermost layer, he released the Azure Essence Swordbarrier. A layer of azure radiance appeared close to Han Lis body with faint sparks of gold mixed within.

As for the Bone Sage, green Qi violently surged from his body, enveloping him in a dense ghostly barrier.

I can still hold! Although the cold glacial Qi filled Han Li with a bone-chilling sensation, the full-strength circulation of the Azure Essence Sword Art allowed him to painstakingly avoid being frozen.

This allowed Han Li to personally experience the massive gap between the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages. Previously, all it had taken was a casual wave of Qing Yis hand to produce a barrier that completely shielded him from the cold.

Han Li sighed and focused a majority of his attention on the hole. His remaining attention was focused on the Bone Sage. Despite the Bone Sages extravagant words, Han Li felt a need to remain vigilant of the old devil.

With the strength of the frenzied Bloodjade Spider, the Heavenvoid Cauldron began to slowly rise once more.

But for some unknown reason, Han Li felt that it was unbearably slow in comparison to the last attempt. It was as if every inch it was raised took an excruciatingly long time, much to Han Lis irritation. If any of the old Devils returned to this scene, it would make for a terrible situation.

The Bone Sage appeared completely undisturbed, but once the blue light from the hole grew increasingly brilliant, a fervent expression began to appear on his face.

As the two stared down, their perception of the passage of time grew even slower with every rise of the Heavenvoid Cauldron.

While it was still unknown where the Nascent Soul eccentrics had wandered off to, their absence inspired both fear and delight in Han Lis mind.

Suddenly, Han Li and the Bone Sage both shot to the sky as the blue flames had reached the top of the hole. Huge blue flames had blossomed yet again and immersed the world in blue frost.

As Han Li stared at the vague shadow contained inside the icy flames, he could hear his own heart thumping in anticipation.

The last time the cauldron had appeared, he had been entirely focused on the old devils and hadnt examined the cauldron in the slightest. Now, he had the opportunity to witness its true appearance with his own eyes.

Although only some of it was exposed, Han Li was still able to make it out.

Chapter 489: Killing Wu Chou

During the time when Wan Tianming was acquiring the Heavenmend Pill, Wu Chou was being restrained by the Bone Sage. He wasnt so foolish that he could not understand how much stronger the Bone Sage was compared to himself. In addition, it appeared that the Bone Sage held a deep understanding towards the Profound Yin Arts. Each of his strikes had been dissolved with little effort.

Although that had frightened Wu Chou, he was now delighted to find the two Heavenwide Corpses at his side. Each of the demon corpses were no less powerful than a mid Core Formation cultivator. Despite the Bone Sages fearsomeness, even he shouldnt pose much of a threat to him now. Even better, Wu Chou now had the opportunity to teach him a lesson. After the eccentrics left the stone platform, he immediately wore a sinister smile and looked at the Bone Sage with a malicious gaze.

After looking at the eccentrics exit at the bottom of the stairs, he turned around to see Wu Chous malicious expression and the two demon corpses at his side. He calmly smiled and said, Han Li, this person is Zenith Yins sole descendant! If I kill him, wont Zenith Yin suffer quite a bit of pain?

Shock momentarily appeared on Han Lis face, but his expression quickly returned to normal. He then indifferently gazed at the Bone Sage in silence. However, when Wu Chou heard this, he became vigilant and doubtfully glanced at Han Li. At that same time, the two demon corpses at his side had disappeared from sight.

Wu Chou harshly said, Han Li, have you been colluding with him this entire time? Thats why he knocked the jade scepter in your direction earlier? How about you take that treasure out when my esteemed grandfather returns and let him decide who gets to keep it?

Having heard these false charges in an attempt to seize his treasure, Han Li became dumbfounded. It was clear Wu Chou had shed all pretenses of not oppressing him now that he felt Han Li no longer possessed any value. Perhaps Zenith Yin had even given him these orders in secret before his departure.

With that thought, the corner of Han Lis mouth twitched, the many flying swords contained in his body throbbed with excitement.

But it was the Bone Sage that was first to act. With a sweep of his hand, a green snake shot out from his cuff towards an empty location, resulting in a dull bang. Soon after, a green silhouette was revealed.

The Bone Sage smirked and spoke disdainfully, Heavenwide Corpse Demon? Figures that Zenith Yin had refined so many of them! The Bone Sage then quickly pointed at it, causing a green lotus to emerge from its body. The green lotus wildly flourished until the flower petals completely enveloped the demon corpse.

Wu Chou was greatly startled and hastily ordered the demon corpse to break free. But for some unknown reason, his connection to the demon corpse had been completely severed and he could no longer control it. In that moment, his body broke out into a cold sweat. Just as he thought to control his remaining demon corpse, the Bone Sages body blurred and suddenly reappeared right before him. A flustered expression of panic arose from Wu Chous face as he hastily protected his body with a large cloud of Profound Yin Qi. At that same time, a fierce glint flashed from his eyes and he opened his mouth, spitting out a small black sword that pierced towards the Bone Sage at a speed faster than lightning.

The Bone Sages face wore a trace of derision. His fingernails immediately grew several inches long and became razor-sharp, making for a sinister appearance. He then reached out to the small sword and caught it without the slightest resistance.

Wu Chous complexion became deathly pale from disbelief. He quickly ordered the flying sword to return, but the Bone Sage had already grasped it between his claws with a malicious expression. After many attempts to break free from his grasp, the small sword scattered into black dust. At that same moment, Wu Chous complexion paled at the destruction of his magic treasure and he involuntarily spat out a mist of black blood. freewbne.com

Impossible, you… Wu Chou only had time to incredulously say those few words before the Bone Sage moved to strike him. His ghostly claw was enveloped with spirals of green Qi.

No longer capable of further speech, Wu Chou whistled, ordering the entirety of his surrounding Profound Yin Qi to face the strike. At that same moment, his hand reached for the inside of his robes, wanting to take out a treasure.

A strange scene occurred. With a flash of black-green light, the Bone Sages ghost claw rapidly turned and the green Qi surrounding it turned pitch-black, piercing through the several layers of Wu Chous Profound Yin Qi as if nothing had been there.

Wu Chou lowered his head in terror and saw the ghost claw piercing through his abdomen. Eyes filled with disbelief, he muttered a few words before the Bone Sage coldly laughed and shot countless streams of green fire from his claw, turning Wu Chous body into ashes in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a black embroidered scarf, a ring, and a storage pouch.

No longer possessing a master, the other Heavenwide Demon Corpse appeared beside the Bone Sage in a flash of black light. Its eyes were completely spiritless and it motionlessly stood in place as if it were now truly dead.

After witnessing this sequence of events, Han Lis heart trembled and a newfound fear towards the old devil had grown within him!

It was now clear that he hadnt been lying when he had said that he was well acquainted with the weaknesses of the Profound Yin Art. When Wu Chou had used his Profound Yin Qi to block the attack, it didnt have the slightest effect. But why was it that the Bone Sage chose this moment to kill Wu Chou? Did he not fear that he would alert Zenith Yin? Could it be that he was forcing him into battle, giving him no choice but to fight against Zenith Yin?

Han Lis alarmed mind began to churn. As he did this, he readied the five colored copper bands in his hand. If the Bone Sage made any hostile movements against him, he would have to fight with his life on the line.

At that moment, the Bone Sage had already gathered Wu Chous spoils and looked at Han Li with a mysterious smile. What are you doing, glaring at me like that? Quickly take out your other Bloodjade Spider. The others have been drawn away by Man Huzi, but we dont know how long it will take for them to return. What, could it be that you arent interested in the treasures of the Heavenvoid Cauldron?

The Bone Sages words shocked Han Li and caused Han Lis gaze to wander. He had carefully concealed the existence of his other Bloodjade Spider. How could the Bone Sage possibly know about it?

He glanced at the corpse of the long deceased Bloodjade Spider. What other Bloodjade Spider? My spirit beast has already been slain by the Star Palace elder. Not knowing how the Bone Sage could possibly know, Han Li was unwilling to acknowledge it.

Humph! Youngster, I dont have the time to waste on you, so I will tell you the truth. Long ago, I found a pair of Bloodjade Spiders and put them into the care of my other traitorous disciple, Zenith Brilliance. I thought to bring the spiders to the Heavenvoid Hall and seize the cauldron when they were a higher grade, but I hadnt expected that my disciples would betray me before that happened. Since you had that jade talisman, I figured that your Bloodjade Spider had originated from the Zenith Brilliances pair. You may not know this, but Bloodjade Spiders possess some peculiar characteristics. Although a nest will have many eggs, only two of them will survive. These two spiders are certain to be a male-female pair. In addition, they can only ascend grades when the male and female spider are together. This was something that I had personally concluded after observing a pair of wild Bloodjade Spiders. After all, one must be familiar with a spirit beasts properties if they are to promote its grade. However, this was unknown to Zenith Brilliance. He believed I had acquired both a male and female spider out of pure luck! Since the grade of your spider was so high, you must certainly have another. How about you take it out?

The Bone Sages quick explanation had left Han Li dumbfounded for a moment, as he truly hadnt known any of this. It seemed that the rainbow skeleton from back then had likely been Zenith Brilliance1. Chapter 270, but how did that fit together with the Emperor of Yue and Zenith Yin Islands cultivation arts? Although Han Lis mind was flooded with doubts, he licked his lips and calmly replied, Thats right, I do have another Bloodjade Spider. But why should I help you acquire the Heavenvoid Cauldron? Are you willing to give me half of it? Moreover, there will be tremendous, world-shaking tremors as the Heavenvoid Cauldron is extracted. Wouldnt this disturbance attract the attention of the other Nascent Soul cultivators and make them immediately return? That would just quicken our deaths. Also, it was only with the help of the flame pythons that the Bloodjade Spider had been able to slowly pull up the Cauldron. My remaining Bloodjade Spider isnt enough to pull it up.

Han Li spoke these words with a calm expression. Although he felt immense temptation towards the Heavenvoid Cauldron, he stifled the burning excitement in his heart, allowing reason to seep through. He didnt wish to die just because of greed. After a moment of consideration, Han Li decided his best choice was to immediately escape. Without waiting for the Bone Sages response, Han Li flickered, blurring towards the exit.

However, it seemed that the Bone Sage had already predicted what Han Li would do. The next words he uttered caused Han Li to slow to a stop.

Chapter 488: Battle for the Medicine Pill

Humph! Reincarnation? You sure can dream! Youre not afraid that Ill refine your Nascent Soul? Ill be denying you of your next life. Man Huzi icily said as he glared at Wan Tianmings Nascent Soul.

If you truly have the ability, then so be it, I will suffer. But instead of wasting time further deliberating on the matter, wouldnt it be better for Fellow Daoist Man to receive my Heavensifting Mines first? After the infant spoke, it tossed out two balls from its hands. As soon as the purple balls left its hands, they immediately grew several times larger and launched themselves towards Man Huzi with an overbearing momentum.

Man Huzis eyes widened and his face contorted in anger. He fiercely struck his chest with both hands, causing a divine sound to ring out from his head along with a burst of golden light. A two-inch long infant with faintly golden skin and Man Huzis face appeared above his head. It was slightly larger and more solid than Wan Tianmings Nascent Soul. However, its eyes were closed and it held a small azure shield tightly in its hands. The round shield appeared exquisite and had a radiant soybean-sized stone embedded in its center.

Although Man Huzis Nascent Soul had its eyes closed, it was still aware of the approaching purple ball of light. It lifted the shield in its hands, emitting a light barrier that covered Man Huzis entire body just before the purple balls of light struck his body.

The others Nascent Soul cultivators were dumbstruck upon seeing both of their Nascent Souls manifest, as it signified they were now in a battle of life or death.

A world-shattering explosion shook the skies, and the light barrier surrounding the stone platform radiated a purple-red light. A forty-meter-wide cloud of lightning suddenly appeared, binding Man Huzi at its center. Purple lightning wildly stormed inside the clouds with thunderous bellows and blinding flashes of light intertwined. It was as if divine retribution had come, bringing forth an execution by celestial lightning.

The others were thoroughly shocked by the sight. They had long heard of the Heavensifting Mines ferocity, but this was the first time they had seen it. It was truly fearsome and deserving of its grand reputation.

However, their attacks only became more fierce after witnessing the might of the Heavensifting Mine.

Without looking at Man Huzi, Wan Tianmings Nascent Soul waved its small hand, summoning a small purple sword. With a flash of purple light, the Nascent Soul and the small sword disappeared. An instant later, it reappeared fifteen meters above the medicine pill.

Nascent Soul Swordflight! The other four Nascent Soul cultivators looked on in shock. It wasnt a trick of their eyes produced by amazing speed, but actual teleportation. Without a fleshly body to tie down the Nascent Soul, it was capable of extraordinary abilities.

However, these sorts of wondrous techniques greatly harmed ones own Origin Qi. Although all Nascent Soul cultivators knew these techniques, none were willing to lightly make use of them. But now, much to everyones astonishment, Wan Tianming had used one to great effect.

Zenith Yin and Qing Yi simultaneously abandoned their opponents and hastily shot towards the Heavenmend Pill. As for their opponents, Tian Wuzi and the old farmer, after glancing at each other, they merely cast a few magic techniques after them in a token show of effort, not making much of an attempt to block them.

As such, Zenith Yin and Qing Yi were able to easily break free and quickly descended.

Wan Tianmings Nascent Soul didnt turn its head around, but it was still able to see what was happening behind it. An unsuitable sneer appeared on the infants face. At his current distance, the Heavenmend Pill was practically his. What could they do now to block him?

As expected, Wan Tianmings Nascent Soul flickered several times, appearing closer to the rainbow ball of light with each appearance. A large purple hand then appeared out of the air and grabbed the rainbow ball into its hand. The ball of light disappeared as soon as it had been grasped by the hand, leaving behind only the rainbow pill.

Wan Tianming went rapt with delight as Zenith Yin and Qing Yi soon appeared behind him. They couldnt possibly allow Wan Tianming to succeed. Zenith Yin furiously growled, Wan Tianming, let go of the pill. A large cloud of profound devilish Qi then enveloped Wan Tianmings Nascent soul, along with countless azure threads of light that tightly wove around it.

Are you truly capable of restraining me? The Nascent Soul scoffed, and with a flash of violet light, it disappeared from the black fog and azure light surrounding it. It reappeared forty meters away on the small purple sword with a mocking expression.

But as soon as the mocking smile appeared on his face, it was immediately replaced with fear. It suddenly turned its attention to the sky above in disbelief. What it saw caused the infants face to grow incredibly pale.

Above him in the sky, Wan Tianmings fleshly body was in the grasp of a lofty figure surrounded in sparkling golden light. Who else could it be aside from Man Huzi?

But now, Man Huzis hair was completely curled and his clothes were in tatters, making for quite a wretched appearance. Still, the gold scales surrounding his body and his fiendish expression gave him a resemblance similar to that of a malevolent god.

Impossible! How were you able to escape? Wan Tianming hastily looked at the lightning storm in disbelief, but his fears were only solidified. The domineering storm of purple lightning had disappeared, leaving behind only a few traces of static.

Hehe! Sect Master Wang, it can only be said that your luck was quite poor. In the past, I slaughtered a lightning whale demon beast. Although its body was heavily injured, the lightning absorption pearl inside its body had remained completely intact. Your Heavensifting Mine may be formidable, but with a majority of its strength absorbed by the pearl, it posed little threat to me. Man Huzi raised his hand, revealing a gem that flickered with violet light. Then with a wave of his hand, it disappeared.

Now, this great Lord is going to count to three. If you do not throw the Heavenmend Pill to me, I will destroy your physical body. You should know what happens afterwards! Man Huzi didnt give Wan Tianming any leeway or time to consider. With one hand carrying Wan Tianmings body and the other grasping the skull, he started counting. His hands began to shine with brilliant golden light.

Wan Tianming bitterly clenched his teeth. He had clearly placed several restrictions down on his fleshly body before he manifested his Nascent Soul. But now, his body had fallen into the hands of an enemy that possessed a lightning absorption stone. He could hardly believe it.

He didnt have the slightest time to think. If his body were to be destroyed, his Nascent Soul would surely turn to dust. He had yet to reach the stage where his Nascent Soul could roam alone. Although a Nascent Soul cultivator could manifest their Nascent Soul to perform a few extraordinary techniques, it was rarely done as it would leave their body vulnerable. With the Heavenmend Pill in sight and after having been tied down by Man Huzi for so long, Wan Tianming became overwhelmed with impatience and greed, causing him to make such a grave mistake.

With Man Huzi staunchly refusing to compromise, Wan Tianming felt immense remorse and started to quickly analyze his options. But as soon as Man Huzi said, Two, he clenched his teeth and tossed the Heavenmend Pill towards Man Huzi.

Wan Tianming helplessly threw the pill he had acquired from using his Nascent Soul Swordflight, concluding the dramatic development in an instant.

Excitement flashed from Man Huzis eyes. After he flew forward and caught the rainbow pill, he ruthlessly threw Wan Tianmings body towards the other side of the light barrier with all his strength. If no one were to intercept it, it would surely be crushed to pulp.

When Wan Tianming saw this, he was overwhelmed with fright and shot towards his body without a thought. Fortunately, despite being far away, he was able to intercept it by using the teleportations of his Nascent Soul Swordflight. Man Huzi then took advantage of the situation and flew towards the exit in a streak of light.

It wasnt that Man Huzi didnt want to kill Wan Tianming, but rather, Wan Tianming was the Sect Master of the Thousand Gates of Enlightenment. Had he truly killed him, he would become a target of the Righteous Dao. There was also the matter of the Thousand Gates of Enlightments Mad Matron, the number one figure of the Righteous Dao. He wasnt yet her match and was unwilling to be relentlessly hunted down by her. As the main enemy of both the Devil and the Righteous Dao was still the Star Palace, he naturally only aimed for the medicine pill.

Seeing that Man Huzi had unexpectedly acquired the Heavenmend Pill and was about to escape, Tian Wuxi and the old farmer immediately chased after him.

Zenith Yin and Qing Yi had been momentarily stunned by the scene. After glancing at each other, they gave chase, unwilling to accept defeat.

But before Zenith Yin gaze chase, he turned into a black cloud and arrived above Han Li and Wu Chou. He coldly said, Wu Chou! Stay here with Han Li and dont wander. I will return in a moment. I will lend these two demon corpses to you for now. After that was said, two Heavenwide Corpses appeared at Wu Chous side, and Zenith Yin blurred through the air with a flicker.

As such, the Nascent Soul cultivators were all chasing Man Huzi. Each of them blew a hole through the light barrier at the stairs in wild pursuit of Man Huzi. As for Wan Tianming who had just regained control of his body, he grit his teeth and followed suit.

Chapter 487: Appearance of a Nascent Soul

Chaos erupted in the sky in response to the appearance of the Heavenmend Pill.

Having been on the cusp of making peace with one another just a mere moment ago, everyone immediately turned into streaks of light and shot straight towards the newly emerged ball of rainbow light. But halfway there, their lights became interweaved, rendering them all incapable of advancing even a step forward. For a time, radiance flashed and Devilish Qi scattered in a far more intense display than before.

As for the rainbow ball of light, it was motionlessly floating above the hole as if it waiting for someone to grab it.

Everyone had now clearly seen the inch-thick medicine pill revolving inside the rainbow ball of light. Each time the pill turned, the ball of light flickered and contracted, appearing as if it were alive. Upon seeing this, the Nascent Soul cultivators only became even more fervent.

Wu Chou and the Bone Sage were both mesmerized as they watched the battle that had erupted in the sky.

Wu Chou suddenly heard Zenith Yins ice-cold voice in his ear, Are you an idiot? What are you looking at! Quickly, acquire the Heavenmend Pill! After hearing this, Wu Chou shuddered in realization and shot towards the rainbow ball of light as a cloud of black Qi.

At that moment, the Bone Sage also took action. However, the Heavenmend Pill wasnt his target. Instead, his hands blurred, transforming into devilish green pythons as they shot straight for Wu Chous back.

Although the green pythons attack was silent, Wu Chou had been vigilant and faintly perceived their approach. In an instant, he hastily turned around to receive the attack in furious alarm.

Youre courting death to actually be attacking me! Wu Chou was unable to suppress his rage, causing his Profound Yin Qi to scream out around him and rush towards the Bone Sage.

The Bone Sage coldly chuckled and responded by wordlessly sending a cloud of green Ghost Qi at him in response.

Man Huzi! What is your junior doing!? Zenith Yin naturally saw what was happening and furiously yelled at Man Huzi.

Man Huzi launched a golden first towards Wan Tianming before roaring with laughter, What is he doing? Obviously, he is blocking Fellow Daoist Wu from monopolizing the Heavenmend Pill. Did you really think because were fellow Devil Dao cultivators that this Lord would just give the Heavenmend Pill to you?

You… When Zenith Yin heard this, his face turned white from anger. Man Huzis words had effectively dissolved the alliance between the Devil Dao cultivators, leaving the acquisition of the Heavenmend Pill up to skill. But, such a development had been inevitable from the very beginning of their alliance.

The Heavenvoid Cauldron hadnt been acquired and only one Heavenmend Pill had appeared. Naturally, everyone wished to acquire it. Let alone the Devil Dao cultivators, even the Righteous Dao cultivators had their own sinister plots in mind.

Zenith Yin clearly understood that the midst of battle was not the time to be squabbling. He settled his mind and thought about using his Heavenwide Corpses to acquire the Heavenmend Pill, but the dark-skinned old farmers techniques were threatening and couldnt be ignored. So long as he released even a single demon corpse, the old farmer would release a green thread as if it had been foreseen and immediately restrained it. They simply wouldnt be able to escape. The situation caused him to clench his teeth with hate towards both the farmer and Man Huzi.

However, it wasnt Zenith Yin who solely thought this way. Each one of the Nascent Soul cultivators had similar circumstances and were looking for any way they could escape from the battle and seize the treasure.

Unfortunately, all of the old eccentrics present were exceptionally cunning and deceitful, none of them could easily break away from the fray. After all, it was far simpler to tie someone down than to fully escape the battle.

As the Nascent Soul melee was unraveling in the sky, no one was paying any heed to Han Li.

Han Li had been greatly surprised when he survived the Star Palace elders strike. After all, he had been struck head on by a Nascent Soul magic treasure, but when he looked down at his chest, he discovered he had been saved by the Emperor Scale Plate that Man Huzi had lent him.

The remnants of his outer clothes had already been burnt black, only to reveal the sparkling silver scales that lay underneath. However, there was a slight dent at the very center of the armor.

Han Li rejoiced after seeing this. Fortunately, he had decided to wear the armor as soon as he examined that nothing was wrong with it, as he expected the Heavenvoid Hall to be extremely dangerous. As a result, his life had been saved.

However, Han Li clearly understood that the most significant reason he survived was the red and yellow jade scepter.

Just as he had brought the jade scepter up to block the attack, he faintly saw a silver wolf head emerge from the scepter and absorb a majority of the blows force. Otherwise, despite its amazing defensive power, the Emperor Scale Plate wouldnt have remained intact. In that case, he would have suffered a heavy injury, even if the attack didnt penetrate the armor.

Han Li wished to further examine the true capabilities of the scepter, but now was not a good opportunity. It was only after he put away the scepter that he felt the ferocious pain coming from his palm and web between his thumb and forefinger.

Han Li clenched his teeth and his hands flashed with white light, healing his wounds at a speed visible to the eye. At the same time, he vigilantly swept his gaze over the scene and saw the tragic state of his Bloodjade Spiders corpse on the altar.

A trace of sadness flickered from Han Lis eyes before it was replaced with wide eyes filled with determination. He crawled to the edge of the light barrier that was holding him up and silently flew to the steps.

According to his exceptional memory, so long as those mechanical puppets didnt reappear, he should be able to return to the previous floor without much danger. This would be far better than staying in place and leaving himself at the mercy of those old Nascent Soul Devils.

After all, Han Li had lost all value to them once his Bloodjade Spider had perished. Without any more protective talismans on him, he couldnt possibly entrust his life to the goodwill of those Devil Dao cultivators.Han Lis best course of action would be for him to take his life into his own hands!

Moreover, the attempt to acquire the Heavenvoid Cauldron had failed. Even if those old Devils still managed to seize the Heavenmend Pill, wouldnt they still have a bellyful of anger? It was certain that he would be the target for them to relieve their frustrations.

With that thought, Han Lis movements became even more stealthy. Just as he had silently flown for about forty meters and was about to prepare for his reckless charge, he suddenly heard a voice say, Han Li, where are you going?

Although the Bone Sages voice was calm and soft, it was enough for Zenith Yin and the others to hear clearly.

In an instant, Zenith Yin and Man Huzi shot an ice-cold glance at Han Li, causing him to stop in place.

Damned Bone Sage! Having caught the attention of the Devil Dao cultivators, Han Li didnt have the slightest confidence in escaping them. In the short amount of time he would be slowed down by the light barrier, Zenith Yin alone would be able kill him several times over.

The Bone Sage sneered. He had been using his spiritual sense to monitor Han Li this entire time. Although he had managed to cleanly deal with Wu Chou, he didnt display the slightest intention of acquiring the Heavenvoid Pill, rendering his intentions unclear..

After returning, Han Li shot him a hateful glance, and a trace of suspicion arose in his mind.

Man Huzi, if you do not step aside, then dont blame this Sect Master for using his Heavensifting Mines! Wan Tianming saw that the rainbow ball wasnt far beneath him, but in a mere instant, he had been beaten back by Man Huzis golden fists. Having already suffered this several times, Wan Tianming had finally flown into a rage.

Man Huzi was somewhat startled by this, but he soon sneered and casually said, The Heavensifting Mine! Zenith Yin and Qing Yi might be afraid of it, but this mighty Lord wishes to see its power. Im afraid I must request for Fellow Daoist Wan to broaden my perspective! It was clear that he didnt believe Wan Tianming was actually going to use the treasure.

With a pale, ashen face, Wan Tianming clenched his teeth in anger, saying, Good, good! Man Huzi, youve forced this sect master to allow you to witness the true ferocity of the Heavensifting Mine!

After that was said, he slapped the top of his head without further hesitation. A resounding cry sounded out, followed by a purple light that shot from the top of his head. It stopped about a meter above his head and revealed itself to be a two-inch tall naked infant. Purple light wound around its body, and its skin appeared soft and delicate. But what was more shocking was that its face was entirely the same as Wan Tianming and that it held a sparkling purple ball in its hand.

Man Huzis careless expression underwent a massive change. With a spirited gaze, he imposingly said, Nascent Soul Manifestation! Wan Tianming, do you truly wish for your soul to be exterminated?

My lifespan has already nearly reached its end. What difference does it make whether or not I die a bit sooner if I cannot acquire the Heavenment Pill? At worst, Ill have Fellow Daoist Man assist in sending me off onto the path of a warriors reincarnation. After those vague words were said, his Nascent Soul became exasperated as if it had been strenuous for him to speak.

At the same time that Wan Tianmings Nascent Soul appeared, his physical body had closed its eyes and become completely motionless as if it had become unconscious. freewebnvel.cm

Chapter 486: Incarnation Talisman

At this crucial moment, Man Huzi raised his head and studenly stared at a certain area. With an icy face, he loudly shouted, Who is sneaking around over there? How about you get lost! He then sent a punch that shook his beard, sending out a three meter large golden hand to grab at the air.

A muffled peng sounded out, revealing a barrier of azure light. The light barrier forcibly stopped the golden hands approach, but it revealed the white silhouette within.

Its you!?

Star Palace?!

Several shouts came from the eccentrics of both the Devil and Righteous Dao, and their expressions vastly changed.

Zenith Yins expression grew unsightly, and he rushed to question them,Star Palace enforcement elder, when did you sneak up on us? Didnt you claim to not intend to enter the Inner Halls?

The white clothed elder didnt respond to Zenith Yin and slowly addressed Man Huzi instead, Sigh! My luck is truly bad. I didnt expect that the Heavenvoid Cauldrons emergence would cause such a great disturbance that I would have to use a technique to defend against its icy Qi, leaving me to be discovered by Brother Man. It seems Fellow Daoist Man possesses the highest cultivation out of all of you. His face remained completely calm for someone that had been lying in concealment.

Zenith Yin grew furious, but he didnt dare to rashly act against someone from the Star Palace.

As for the Righteous Dao cultivators, it seemed they also had their own misgivings. They all stared at the Star Palace elder in a moment of silence.

Wait, isnt there another person?! Han Li, be careful! The Bloodjade Spider!

Ever since the Star Palace elder had appeared, Qing Yi had started muttering to himself. After hearing the Star Palace elders words, he became extremely suspicious. With some further thought, he suddenly recalled something and hastily shouted. When Han Li heard this from a distance, he was stunned.

Before he realized what was going on, two streaks of burning white light shot out from the other side of the altar. Each one cut through the air towards Han Li and the Bloodjade Spider with a chilling whistle. Afterwards, a white-clothed old man appeared where the attacks had been launched from.

Han Lis complexion paled.

Fast, too fast! This was the single thought that filled Han Lis mind as he saw the white light flash towards him. He did the only thing he could possibly do in that instant, he raised the jade scepter with both hands and used it to block his chest as best he could.

Peng! Han Li felt a huge impact from his hands before nearly losing all sensation, he fell from the sky, completely oblivious apart from a burning sensation from his chest along with the faint sounds of wind and furious shouting as he fell from the sky.

Before Han Li could stop his fall, he felt pain on the back of his body. His body had collapsed upon a barrier of light that was slowly rising.

Yi! A cry of disbelief came from the Star Palace elder that had attacked him. He felt surprised that he hadnt managed to execute a weakling like Han Li in a single strike.

Since his magic treasure, the Piercing Sun Swords, failed to cleave Han Li at such a short distance, Han Li mustve been wearing a top grade protective treasure. However, this was no matter as his other sword had struck true. With that thought, he turned his gaze to the altar.

The Bloodjade Spider had been cleaved into two halves. Its blood flowed into the ground, and the small portion of the revealed Celestial Ice Flame had silently sunk back into the hole.

The two remaining fire pythons completely lacked the strength to further pull up the Heavenvoid Cauldron.

Having seen this, the white-clothed elder was completely satisfied and recalled his two flying swords with a wave of his hand. He then put them away and revealed a strange smile towards the ashen faces of the Righteous and Devil Dao Nascent Soul cultivators.

Because these Nascent Soul cultivators had their attention drawn to the other Star Palace elder, they were unable to respond to the sneak attack on Han Li and Bloodjade Spider. As they had seen the Bloodjade Spider executed before their very eyes, they each wore an expression of fury and their eyes burned with rage.

Man Huzi didnt have any qualms against taking action. He loudly rained curses on them and clapped his hand together, causing golden light to burst from his body.

But before Man Huzi could do anything else, the Star Palace elder that had earlier attacked started to fade into specks of white light, causing him to disappear without a trace. All that had remained was a faint gold talisman that floated to the floor. A similar scene occurred with the other white clothed elder. He faded away into specks of light with a smile on his face, leaving behind a similar golden talisman.

Man Huzi quickly suppressed the fury on his face and muttered to himself with a flickering expression, The Star Palaces Incarnation Talisman! So they flaunted their wealth instead of having their true bodies come! They did this to prevent us from being able to settle our debt with them.

As for the others, they each helplessly watched the golden talismans fall to the ground with unsightly expressions before the talismans combusted and turned to ash.

In a quiet corner of the fifth floor in the Inner Halls, two white-clothed were sitting down cross-legged in the dark, their eyes were closed. One of them slowly spoke with a voice containing slight happiness, Fortunately, we followed them. Otherwise, the Heavenvoid Cauldron wouldve fallen into their hands. frewebovel.cm

However, our incarnations had been discovered a bit too early. Else, we couldve taken action as they fought over the Heavenvoid Cauldron. They would have been too distracted with one another to prevent us from making off with the treasure! The other old man spoke somewhat gloomily with a tone of slight regret.

Hehe! We had best not be too greedy. It was the optimal opportunity to sabotage the Righteous and Devilish Daos attempts to acquire the treasure, and we achieved a decent result. However, we merely delayed the crisis for this occasion. The next opening of Heavenvoid Hall will still prove to be a problem.

The gloomy voice said without care, Thats not wrong, but we might not be there to see the day. I did wish to see whether or not the Heavenmend Pill was as miraculous as they had said, able to make up for the deficiencies of impure spiritual roots or refine new Heavenly Spiritual Roots. It is quite unimaginable.

That is a pity! However, weve nearly reached our end. It would simply be too much of a waste for us to use it. Though funnily enough, it was unknown who said it first, but many Nascent Soul eccentric had completely taken the rumors to heart! That it was capable of both extending ones life as well as breaking through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul Stage! If these miracles were true, the Archsaint of the Six Paths as well as the Mad Matron wouldve definitely arrived. But unfortunately, the Heavenmend Pill is only capable of massively increasing the chances for a Core formation cultivator to condense a Nascent Soul. Its just that refining the pill is truly too difficult. The first voice said with a mocking tone.

Humph! Are Core Formation cultivators capable enough to come here? Besides, those Nascent Soul cultivators were the same as us. They spent many years cultivating but found themselves unable to advance, and they placed their complete hopes on acquiring the famed Heavenmend Pill. That is at least understandable. Were we still young, we wouldve definitely made every attempt to acquire such a pill. It would even constantly be on our minds! After this was said, the other voice kept silent as if in tacit agreement.

Let us set off! We had best prevent them from trying to find us in their rage. That would prove quite troublesome. They must be absolutely furious! With that said, the darkness became silent once more as if no one had been there.

Their guess had not been wrong. The Righteous and Devilish Dao cultivators were fuming. Their eyes held no spirit and they felt rather depressed. However, they were all the cunning sort and were able to quickly recover their calm. They knew there was no value staying angry over the Star Palaces disruption. Instead, the Righteous and Devilish Dao floated in the air in confrontation.

Han Li was once again ascending as he remained on the light barrier that broke his fall. At that moment, he looking at his hands in horror. They were bloodily crushed and there was a complete tear between his thumb and forefinger. But his gaze didnt stay there, instead focusing on the jade scepter that he was clenched in the right hand.

At that moment, Wan Tianming coughed as if he wanted to say something to the Devil Dao cultivators, but at that moment, Zenith Yins fire pythons were no longer able to endure and had let go with a wail, returning to their original forms.

The Heavenvoid Cauldron released a hum as it fell.

Everyone couldnt help but lower their heads at the scene, even Wan Tianming who was about to speak. Zenith Yin looked particularly gloomy, and his eyes contained objection.

But then, something completely unexpected occurred!

As the Heavenvoid Cauldron was falling, it had been been struck by something, and its hum became a dragons roar. Then with a heavy roll of thunder, a fist-sized rainbow ball of light shot out into the air from within the blue flames.

Heavenmend Pill! Both the Righteous and Devil Dao cultivators simultaneously shouted out its name with delighted surprise.
