Chapter 2291: Battle Against the Asura Spiders

All of a sudden, spiritual light flashed from the five longswords, and a burst of law fluctuations erupted, upon which the pair of mountains were sent flying backward.

In the next instant, the two mountains appeared above Han Li before crashing down with tremendous force.

Han Li attempted to communicate with the two treasures and instruct them to stop, only to discover that it was as if his spiritual sense connection with them had been severed.

Han Lis heart jolted upon seeing this, but his expression remained unchanged as he thrust his palms gently toward the pair of extreme mountains.

In the instant that his palms were thrust upward, silver light flashed from his palms, and around a dozen layers of silver formations were conjured up.

Two earth-shattering booms rang out, and gusts of fierce winds swept forth in all directions, but Han Li managed to stop the two extreme mountains in the end, following which all of the silver formations vanished amid a flash of silver light.

In the instant Han Lis hands came into contact with the pair of extreme mountains, the spiritual sense connection was recovered, and he immediately stowed the pair of treasures away.

At this moment, the brocade-robed man was still maintaining his original posture and hadnt taken advantage of this opportunity to unleash any further attacks.

Han Li cast his gaze toward him, and said, I didnt think that you would be able to use the power of the law of time. Having said that, its quite forced, so you must be relying on something to unleash this power.

Hmph, so what if my usage is a little forced? With the power of the law of time on my side, theres no way you can defeat me. The fact that youve managed to identify this power right away tells that youve seen it before elsewhere, is that right? the brocade-robed man harrumphed coldly.

He then pointed a finger forward, and the five translucent swords tremored slightly, following which the nearby law fluctuations gradually dissipated.

A hint of enlightenment appeared in Han Lis as he cast his gaze toward the five swords, and he replied, I have indeed witnessed the same power elsewhere in the past, and I had thought that only the Asura Spiders would be able to wield this power in this realm. It seems like you mustve been in this realm for a very long time and thoroughly earned the trust of these Asura Spiders. Otherwise, you wouldnt have been granted such incredible benefits. However, if you think this will be enough for you to avoid defeat, then youre dead wrong.

As soon as his voice trailed off, brilliant purplish-golden light erupted from his body, and he swelled to around 1,000 feet in size in the blink of an eye.

Immediately thereafter, he opened his mouth to expel several balls of light of different colors, each of which was releasing a unique yet formidable aura.

The balls of light contained projections of several types of true spirit beings, and at the same time, layers of purplish-golden scales emerged all over Han Lis body.

Two additional pairs of arms and a pair of extra heads also emerged beneath his ribs and on his shoulders, respectively.

He then opened his six eyes, and a short silver horn appeared on each of his three foreheads.

After witnessing the power of time unleashed by his opponent, Han Li knew that he couldnt hold back any longer and immediately unleashed his Holy Nirvana Physique to its maximal extent.

In this Third Nirvana Transformation, Han Lis physical body was so fearsome that it would strike horror into the heart of even a Grand Ascension Stage being.

A smile appeared on his three faces, and he lashed out with his six arms, unleashing countless golden fist projections that hurtled through the air before abruptly vanishing.

In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted all around the brocade-robed man, and the golden fist projections reappeared before converging toward him in a frenzy.

The brocade-robed man was very alarmed to see this, and he hurriedly made a rapid string of hand seals, upon which the five translucent swords began to rapidly revolve around him.

The five swords then transformed into a five-colored light barrier that protected every single inch of his body, while the law fluctuations that had just disappeared were released once again.

All of the fist projections within a radius of over 100 feet around the brocade-robed man immediately stopped in mid-air, but the rest of the fist projections continued onward and crashed into the immobilized fist projections.

A resounding explosion erupted outside the five-colored light barrier as one golden fist projection after another was detonated, sending devastating shockwaves surging directly toward the light barrier. However, all of these attacks would be frozen in mid-air as soon as they approached the five-colored light barrier.

It seemed that an invisible wall had appeared around the light barrier, keeping allo of Han Lis attacks at bay.

The golden fist projections were imbued with astonishing power, and Han Li seemed to be able to produce an endless supply.

In a very short span of time, countless explosions had erupted, sending layer upon layer of golden shockwaves surging toward the center, rapidly accumulating a burst of spiritual pressure that struck fear into even the brocade-robed mans heart.

The brocade-robed mans expression darkened significantly upon seeing this, and right at this moment, the five-colored light barrier began to tremor slightly, while the immobilized golden fist projections in the surrounding area were displaying signs of moving again.

The brocade-robed man could no longer bide his time, and he immediately switched to a different hand seal, shrinking down the area encompassed by the light barrier by close to half.

At the same time, he opened his mouth to expel several balls of green blood essence, which transformed into a series of blue runes that vanished into the light barrier in a flash.

The trembling light barrier was instantly stabilized, while the golden fist projections and shockwaves were immobilized once again.

A hint of relief appeared in the brocade-robed mans eyes upon seeing this, but he still immediately began to chant an incantation.

Faint runes began to appear on the light barrier, and it seemed that the five swords were about to be reformed.

However, right at this moment, Han Li suddenly stopped what he was doing before flipping a hand over to produce a green longsword amid a flash of green light.

The longsword had several indecipherable ancient silver runes inscribed on its surface, and as soon as it was summoned, all of the worlds origin Qi in a radius of several kilometers injected itself into the sword in a frenzy as streaks of dazzling light.

As a result of this influx of power, the green longsword quickly swelled to around 1,000 feet in size, following which it was slashed through the air without any hesitation.

The silver runes flashed, and a giant silver crescent moon was unleashed by the sword, sweeping through the countless fist projections in a flash before directly plunging into the space encompassed by the power of law of time.

The silver crescent moon was able to completely disregard the power of laws in that area and struck the five-colored light barrier like lightning, much to the horror of the brocade-robed man. fewebnve.com

A resounding boom rang out, and the crescent moon tremored slightly before disintegrating into specks of silver light.

Another burst of even more potent power of laws swept forth, tearing through the law of time imbued within the light barrier before exploding into a ball of silver light.

The two bursts of powers of laws clashed, and the ball of silver light rapidly expanded like a rolling snowball, reaching several acres in size in the blink of an eye.

All types of violent energy fluctuations surged through the surrounding area, sweeping up fearsome tornadoes that encompassed the entire sky.

After unleashing that slash, Han Lis mountainous ape body shrank down to less than half its original size, but his aura didnt wane in the slightest.

A fierce look appeared in his eyes as he gripped onto the giant green sword with all six of his hands, then roared as he slashed the weapon through the air again.

On this occasion, a streak of green sword Qi was unleashed by the green sword as opposed to a silver crescent moon.

In the instant the sword Qi was unleashed, it appeared directly above the ball of silver light, then transformed into a massive ring-shaped blade.

The ring-shaped blade was of an exuberant green color and was around half a kilometer in size with peerlessly sharp edges.

Furthermore, it was giving off powerful law fluctuations.

Black light flashed from Han Lis three glabellas, and three inky-black demonic eyes emerged.

Immediately thereafter, he pointed a finger on each hand into the distance, and uttered the word, slash.

Silver runes appeared on the surface of the ring-shaped blade, following which it abruptly vanished into thin air.

In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted near the ball of silver light, and the ring-shaped blade re-emerged right around the ball of light.

The ring-shaped blade then abruptly contracted, disappearing as a projection.

Immediately thereafter, a green line appeared around the ball of silver light amid a resounding boom, and the entire ball of light was sliced cleanly in half by the ring-shaped blade.

Chapter 2290: Battle Against the Asura Spiders

I didnt think that the Five Light Race would have someone as powerful as you among its ranks! Im looking forward to sparring with you, Han Li chuckled.

Spar? What do you mean by that? the Five-colored Peacock asked as a peculiar look flashed through its eyes.

Instead of giving a reply, Han Li merely smiled, and his aura abruptly changed as a burst of five-colored light erupted out of his body.

Immediately thereafter, Han Li also transformed into a Five-colored Peacock amid a flash of five-colored light.

The opposing Five-colored Peacock was stunned to see this, and it exclaimed, What? Youre also a Five Light being? No, your aura isnt right, you mustve only attained this transformation by refining some Five-colored Peacock true blood.

You have quite a sharp eye as well, Fellow Daoist, Han Li chuckled coldly, then flapped his wings to release a wave of five-colored light that surged directly toward his opponent.

At the height of his fury, the black-robed man burst into laughter. You dare to display your Five-colored Divine Light in my presence? Let me teach you a lesson in what true Five-colored Divine Light is!

As soon as his voice trailed off, the long feathers of his canopy were suddenly sent hurtling through the air as countless five-colored arrows.

The five-colored light clashed with the storm of arrows, and countless holes of different sizes were instantly pierced into the former.

As a result, the giant five-colored wave stalled, and the arrows hurtled directly toward Han Li.

Han Li faltered slightly upon seeing this, but he then also released countless five-colored light threads from the long feathers of his canopy, and each thread of light struck an arrow with unerring accuracy.

The light threads then bound themselves around the arrows before tightening, slicing the arrows into pieces.

Immediately thereafter, the light threads vanished in a flash.

In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted in front of the black-robed man, and countless light threads shot out of thin air, threatening to bind his entire avian body.

However, as soon as the light threads came into contact with his body, the five-colored light around him brightened significantly, and all of the light threads were nullified as soon as they plunged into this five-colored light.

Han Lis heart jolted slightly upon seeing this, while the black-robed man raised his peacock head and let loose a long cry, then suddenly made a grabbing motion with one of its talons.

A giant talon that was around an acre in size instantly appeared out of thin air before grabbing down toward Han Li.

Han Li chuckled coldly as he abruptly vanished on the spot, then suddenly reappeared over 100 feet away before immediately opening his mouth to release a burst of silver flames toward the giant talon.

Despite its enormous size, the massive talon was extremely fast and agile as it swooped down toward the silver flames.

A dull thump rang out as five-colored light surged over the surface of the talon, and the silver flames were completely snuffed out, while the giant talon continued on toward Han Li.

Even before it had truly grabbed him, countless five-colored runes had emerged around Han Li, forming an invisible restriction that had completely immobilized him.

Han Li flapped his wings to send a vast expanse of five-colored light sweeping toward the runes, but the light was instantly snuffed out by the runes as if it had encountered the bane of its existence.

Han Li was quite alarmed to see this, and bright five-colored light erupted out of his body as all of his feathers detached themselves at once, converging from around a dozen resplendent five-colored sword projections that shot forth in all directions.

A string of metallic clangs rang out as the sword projections struck the runes, only to be repelled with ease.

My Heaven and Earth Solidification ability isnt that easy to break. Just stay still and accept your death! The black-robed man was ecstatic to see this as he extended his other talon forward as well.

Spatial fluctuations erupted above Han Li, and another massive talon enshrouded in five-colored light emerged before descending toward him as well.

At the same time, even more five-colored runes appeared in the surrounding area, and Han Li was well and truly immobilized now.

Thus, the two talons came swooping down one after another, sweeping up gusts of fierce winds, and even the space below them was warping and twisting significantly.

The black-robed man was ecstatic that he was able to take care of such a powerful enemy with just his Five-colored Divine Light alone.

However, as a safety precaution, he rose higher up into the air, then flapped his wings, which took on a semi-transparent quality after a flash of five-colored light.

Immediately thereafter, he let loose a clear cry before opening his beak to release a pillar of five-colored light, which reached Han Li in a flash.

However, right at this moment, a rumbling roar rang out from within the warped space, and a ball of golden light emerged, within which was a massive furry palm around the size of a water tank.

The palm spread open its fingers, and it instantly turned a purplish-golden color before being positioned right in front of the pillar of five-colored light.

The pillar of light struck the furry palm with a resounding, and the nearby worlds origin Qi was stirred up violently, while a scintillating five-colored sun emerged.

The pillar of five-colored light was imbued with devastating power, but it was kept at bay by the furry palm with ease.

The black-robed man was quite alarmed to see this, yet before he had a chance to do anything, a bone-chilling harrumph suddenly rang out from within the golden light up ahead.

The black-robed man shuddered as if he had been struck by lightning upon hearing this, and he stumbled back involuntarily.

At the same time, a ferocious roar rang out within the golden light, and a mountainous golden fist projection erupted forth, pulverizing the two five-colored giant claws as if they were mere papier-mch structures.

An incredibly fearsome aura also surged out of the golden light, detonating all of the surrounding five-colored runes.

Only then did the golden light recede, revealing a massive purplish-golden ape that was over 100 feet tall, and it was in the process of withdrawing one of its giant fists.

The black-robed man was forced back a few more steps by Han Lis devastating aura before exclaiming, So your true form is a Giant Mountain Ape? No, even a Giant Mountain Ape wouldnt be able to break free from my Heaven and Earth Solidification so easily!

Hmph, you dont need to worry about what my true form is. Ive already experienced the power of your Five-colored Divine Light, its time I showed you my true power as well, Han Li replied in a cold voice.

Do you really think you can defeat me just because youve switched to a different form? What a joke!

Despite Han Lis fearsome aura, the black-robed man remained completely unfazed, and he let loose a cry, upon which he transformed into a brocade-robed figure with the head of a peacock and five translucent longswords of different colors strapped to his back.

He had withdrawn his Five-colored Peacock form and transformed into a peacock-human hybrid.

Interesting, so you had another form up your sleeve as well, it looks like Ill be able to fight to my hearts content here, Han Li said as he flipped his hands over to produce two miniature mountains, one azure and one black.

Han Li tossed the two small mountains high up into the air, then pointed a finger toward them in rapid succession.

The two small mountains immediately swelled to over 1,000 feet tall at his behest, and at the same time, Han Li expanded to around 3,000 to 4,000 feet tall while silver patterns appeared all over his body.

After completing his transformation, Han Li thumped his own chest with his house-sized fists, then reached out to grab the pair of mountains.

His arms then abruptly thickened, and a ferocious roar rang out as the two mountains were hurled toward the brocade-robed man in the distance.

As soon as the pair of mountains were released, they immediately transformed into two balls of light, one azure and one black, both of which vanished into thin air.

In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted in front of the brocade-robed man, and the two mountains came hurtling directly toward him alongside a fearsome aura that was suffocating even to a Grand Ascension Stage being like him.

Even before the mountains had reached him, the brocade-robed mans protective spiritual light was already tremoring violently, and he felt as if there were sharp daggers raking across his face.

A peculiar look flashed through his eyes, and the five longswords on his back suddenly flew out at his behest, crisscrossing with one another to form a barrier in front of him, thereby keeping the pressure at bay.

What was quite incredible to Han Li was that the two mountains had suddenly stopped in mid-air upon coming into contact with those swords.

Han Li was naturally well aware of how powerful he was in his Giant Mountain Ape Form, and the fact that the two extreme mountains hurled forth by him in this form had been stopped by five mere swords came as quite a shock to him.

Chapter 2289: Battle Against the Asura Spiders

Han Li naturally couldnt continue to dwell on the subject of the Moulan Sacred Beast, and he swept a sleeve through the air to release a ball of silver flames, which transformed into a silver Fire Raven in a flash.

As soon as the Fire Raven emerged, it swelled drastically to a stature that wasnt inferior to the purple phoenix, then flapped its wings and swooped directly toward the fiery purple cloud.

Even before the two massive birds had clashed, the clouds of fire around them crashed into one another, immediately following which the two birds engaged one another in a ferocious battle.

A series of sharp avian cries rang out alongside resounding explosions, and the entire sky was illuminated by the scorching purple and silver flames.

Meanwhile, thousands of balls of golden flames were crashing down toward Han Li from above.

Han Lis expression remained calm as he made a hand seal, and 72 small azure swords flew out of various parts of his body, transforming into around a dozen streaks of identical sword Qi.

Han Li then swept a sleeve upward before uttering the word break, and the streaks of azure sword Qi immediately erupted upward, rapidly tearing through one golden fireball after another.

The black-robed mans expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, and he made a strange hand seal, upon which the thousands of mirror projections behind him began to flash with scintillating golden light.

Specks of spiritual light flashed erratically above Han Li, and all of the fragments of the golden fireballs came crashing down from above as countless streaks of golden light.

However, Han Li wasnt alarmed by this in the slightest, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he pointed a finger toward the streaks of azure sword Qi, all of which instantly vanished into thin air. fгeeebove.cm

In the next instant, piercing azure light flashed above Han Li, and the streaks of azure sword Qi reappeared before converging to form a massive azure lotus flower around an acre in size.

The lotus flower rotated on the spot, and countless sword projections were released to form an impenetrable barrier.

The storm of golden light clashed with the sword projections, and the vast majority of the streaks of golden light were kept at bay, with only the rare exceptions managing to pass through, but all of those were instantly nullified upon plunging into the azure sword lotus.

Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations suddenly erupted before Han Li, and three long silver arrows emerged before hurtling toward his face like lightning.

Han Li remained completely expressionless as he raised an arm, and one of his fingers took on a purplish-golden hue before he pointed it forward several times in succession.

Three resounding booms rang out as his finger strikes struck the tips of the three arrows with unerring accuracy, and they were sent flying back even faster than they had come before vanishing into thin air.

In the next instant, three dull thumps rang out, and three of the silver-armored warriors were felled with puncture wounds on their heads before disintegrating into specks of silver light.

The black-robed mans expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he immediately chanted something while pointing a finger toward the silver scroll several times in succession, releasing a series of incantation seals into the scroll.

The silver scroll flashed erratically as a string of runes appeared on its surface, and the remaining silver-armored warriors all swelled to around twice their original size.

Despite this, they had somehow become extremely fast as well, and after just a few flashes, they reached Han Li in the blink of an eye before charging toward him with their weapons brandished.

A hint of disdain appeared on Han Lis face, and he harrumphed coldly before sweeping a hand through the air to conjure up a grey light barrier.

All of the oncoming attacks instantly vanished into the grey light barrier like sandcastles in the rising tide, completely nullified before they could do anything.

Right at this moment, all of the silver-armored warriors blurred, and they instantly reached Han Li as if by instantaneous teleportation before swinging their weapons toward him.

Even before their weapons had reached him, they were releasing streaks of glacial light that were threatening to tear the grey light barrier apart.

A cold light flashed through Han Lis eyes, and the grey light barrier suddenly took on a substantial form to repel the oncoming streaks of glacial light, immediately following which the grey light barrier transformed into a massive wave that was over 100 feet tall in retaliation.

The silver-armored warriors reacted very quickly, immediately rushing back in retreat, but the giant grey wave suddenly released countless light threads, which pierced through the bodies of the armored warriors like lightning before binding them tightly.

All of the armored warriors were then inundated by the grey wave, and they lost all power to resist.

A furious look appeared in the black-robed mans eyes upon seeing this, and he opened his mouth to expel a burst of magic power into the scroll, causing it to rapidly revolve on the spot.

At the same time, the trapped silver-armored warriors began to release astonishing auras alongside bursts of bright silver light.

This eruption of power seemed to be threatening to tear the entire grey wave apart, and a hint of surprise flashed through Han Lis eyes as he extended a palm forward, pressing it toward the grey wave from afar.

A dull thump rang out, and the silver light being released by the armored warriors was crushed into specks of silver light by a burst of enormous invisible force.

After that, Han Li glanced upward to discover that the Spirit Engulfing Fire Raven was still locked in battle against the purple peacock.

Neither of them possessed substantial bodies, they both possessed fire-attribute powers, so it seemed that their battle wouldnt reach a conclusion anytime soon.

Han Lis eyes narrowed slightly as he withdrew his gaze, and he said, Lets skip all of this childs play. Seeing as youre unwilling to display your true power, Ill just have to force you to do so.

As soon as his voice trailed off, he made a hand seal, and the Provenance True Devil Projection emerged behind him amid a flash of golden light.

The projection opened its six eyes, then thrust its six arms through the air in unison, summoning six golden balls of light, each of which had a diameter of around 10 feet.

The six balls of light were sent hurtling directly toward the black-robed man, who gave a cold harrumph as he immediately pointed a finger forward.

Golden light flashed on the surfaces of all of the mirror projections behind him, and a thin golden thread erupted out of each mirror, forming a massive golden net.

The black-robed man then made a hand seal, and the giant net surged toward the six balls of golden light, looking as if it were trying to sweep up all of the balls of light at once.

However, in the instant that the net and the balls of light came into contact with one another, Han Li pointed a finger forward from afar, and the six balls of golden light instantly fused as one to form a shimmering golden vortex.

The vortex began to revolve on the spot, releasing countless five-colored runes, as well as a burst of tremendous suction force.

The giant golden net was also quite profound, but it was completely unable to withstand this suction force, and it was drawn into the vortex before being shredded into pieces.

The black-robed man was quite alarmed to see this, and he hurriedly patted a jade pendant that was hanging from his waist.

The jade pendant released a white wyrm at his behest, which pounced directly toward the vortex, only to be drawn in and pulverized as well.

At the same time, the jade pendant on the black-robed mans waist disintegrated into powder, and his expression changed drastically upon seeing this.

However, after rushing back in retreat, he returned to his normal calm expression before making a hand seal, and lights of five different colors suddenly erupted out of his back.

The five-colored light surged through the air, eradicating the golden vortex in a flash.

Five-colored Divine Light! Youre a Five Light being from the Flying Spirit Race! Han Li exclaimed.

The black-robed man was rather surprised to hear this, but a sinister smile quickly appeared on his face. Haha, you have a sharp eye, Fellow Daoist. In that case, I wont disguise my powers any longer, let me show you the true might of Five-colored Divine Light!

A resounding boom rang out alongside an eruption of five-colored light, and a Five-colored Peacock that was several tens of feet in size emerged.

It cast a cold gaze toward Han Li, and just that alone was enough to make him feel as if his entire body had been completely frozen.

Chapter 2288: Battle Against the Asura Spiders

The green-robed woman became even more infuriated upon seeing this, and she rubbed her hands together before raising them in unison.

Countless balls of light of different colors instantly appeared before her, and all of them surged toward Xue Ran and Hei Lin as if they had minds of their own.

Thus, a battle ensued between the three of them.

The four mature Asura Spiders on the city wall exchanged a glance upon seeing this, and after a brief discussion through voice transmission, all of them suddenly sat down with their legs crossed, then began to chant something with their eyes tightly shut.

The tops of their heads opened up, and a ball of green light that was around the size of a washbasin emerged, all of which converged to form a massive spider.

The spider was even larger than the one summoned by the green-robed woman, but its body was quite blurry, and it seemed that it was only a projection.

As soon as the giant spider projection emerged, it immediately pounced toward Xue Ran and Hei Lin.

The four mature Asura Spiders were finally stepping in to assist the green-robed woman.

Mo Jianlis expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, and he didnt appear to have done anything, but his body blurred as he abruptly vanished on the spot.

In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted in front of the spider projection, and a streak of glacial sword Qi came hurtling directly toward it.

The spider projection immediately opened its cavernous mouth to release a huge net to keep the sword Qi at bay, but at the same time, it was also forced to stop in mid-air.

Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations erupted once again, and Mo Jianli emerged with a short sword in his hand.

He took a glance at the spider projection, then immediately tossed the sword up into the air.

Layers of sword projections instantly appeared, transforming into a sword mountain that came crashing down from above.

In response, the four mature Asura Spiders switched to different hand seals, and the spider projection pounced directly toward Mo Jianli through the sword mountain as if it didnt even exist.

Mo Jianlis heart jolted slightly upon seeing this, and he immediately sent a brick-shaped treasure flying through the air.

At the same time, he raised an arm before pointing a finger forward, and the brick began to release scintillating blue light, forming a taichi diagram that hurtled directly through the air.

Simultaneously, a speck of black light flashed on his outstretched fingertip, and the space up ahead suddenly collapsed as if it were being crushed by some type of invisible force.

The giant spider projection swiped its two front limbs through the air, unleashing a series of claw projections that instantly sliced the taichi diagram into pieces.

However, in the next instant, its enormous body crashed into the burst of invisible force, and as a result, it became very slow and sluggish.

A cold smile appeared on Mo Jianlis face, and he uttered the word, explode!

The fragments of the taichi diagram immediately began to flash erratically, then exploded into specks of blue light, sending devastating glacial power surging through the air.

The spider projection shuddered slightly, and layers of frost quickly materialized over its body. In the blink of an eye, it had been sealed in a massive block of blue ice.

Mo Jianli was ecstatic to see this, and he withdrew his outstretched finger before making a grabbing motion, summoning an inky-black talisman that he hurled toward the sealed spider projection without any hesitation.

As soon as the black talisman was released, it transformed into a black beast projection with the head of a dragon and the body of a phoenix, then pounced downward in a ferocious manner.

The projection was giving off a horrifying aura that was far too powerful for the average Grand Ascension Stage being to withstand, and the four mature Asura Spiders expressions changed drastically upon seeing this.

All of them opened their eyes in unison, and at the same time, the beastly projection vanished into the block of ice in a flash.

However, right at this moment, the spider projection exploded into specks of green light, all of which appeared outside the block of ice.

As a result, the black beastly projection completely missed its target, and after passing through the chunk of ice, its body gradually faded into nothingness.

Immediately thereafter, the specks of green light converged into four larger balls of light again, all of which sped back toward the city wall before quickly disappearing into the bodies of the four mature Asura Spiders.

In the next instant, the four mature Asura Spiders rose up as four streaks of light and flew directly toward Mo Jianli.

Mo Jianli was rather disappointed that his meticulously planned sequence of attacks had failed to achieve the intended effect, and his expression darkened slightly at the sight of the oncoming mature Asura Spiders.

All of a sudden, he flew toward the oncoming opponents as a streak of white light, and spatial fluctuations erupted behind him, upon which the white flying tiger and crimson fiery phoenix also emerged.

The trio quickly clashed with the four mature Asura Spiders, and another fierce battle commenced.

Even with those two powerful spirit beasts to assist him, Mo Jianli was still far inferior in power to four mature Asura Spiders.

However, whenever the opponents attacks became too much to handle, Mo Jianli would toss out a few mysterious talismans, or unleash some type of almighty attack, or manifest a few strange beastly projections.

As a result, he was just barely able to hold his own against the four mature Asura Spiders.

All of a sudden, a hint of killing intent flashed through the black-robed mans eyes, and he surreptitiously summoned a golden coin in his hand, which was concealed up his sleeve.

However, just as he was about to unleash the coins power, a calm voice rang out beside his ears.

Your opponent is me, Id advise you not to get distracted.

As soon as the voice trailed off, a burst of formidable spiritual pressure came crashing down from above, and even with the black-robed mans immense powers, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He immediately vanished from the city wall, and in the next instant, he reappeared over 100,000 feet above the city amid a burst of spatial fluctuations, then appraised Han Li with a grim expression.

Han Li was standing over 1,000 feet away with his hands clasped behind his back, and he was also appraising the black-robed man, but his expression was as calm as ever.

It looks like youve already planned out these match-ups in advance. Does that mean you think youll be able to defeat me? the black-robed man asked.

Im afraid youre mistaken, after everyone else had chosen, you were the only opponent left. As for whether Ill be able to defeat you, Ill just have to try and see, Han Li replied with a calm smile.

Hmph, it seems that youre very confident. In that case, lets see whos going to come out on top, the black-robed man said in a cold voice, then flipped a hand over to produce an antiquated azure lamp, which he immediately flicked a finger toward.

A purple flame was instantly ignited within the lamp, following which the black-robed man uttered the word rise.

An indescribable primordial aura began to emanate from the flame, and all of a sudden, eight more identical lamps emerged, all of which hovered in the air around him.

The black-robed man then made a rapid string of hand seals, casting nine incantation seals of different colors onto the lamps.

Bright purple light radiated forth, and the flames within the nine lamps drifted out before converging to form a head-sized ball of purple flames.

Immediately thereafter, a clear cry rang out, and a purple bird that was around a foot in size emerged within the flames.

The bird had a very light and agile body with purple feathers, a long canopy, and a pair of fiery red ruby-like eyes, it was a beautiful purple peacock.

As soon as the peacock appeared, it let loose a clear cry, and it swelled drastically to around 300 to 400 feet in length amid a flash of purple light.

All of its feathers were then ignited into scorching purple flames, and it flapped its wings to release a purple fiery cloud that was around an acre in size.

A peculiar look had already appeared on Han Lis face at the sight of the azure lamps, and once the purple peacock was summoned, he was completely rooted to the spot.

Thats a Moulan Sacred Bird! Han Li murmured to himself with a peculiar expression.

The summoning method, appearance, and aura of this purple phoenix were extremely similar to that of the Moulan Sacred Bird he had encountered in the human world.

Of course, there was no comparison between their powers, that Moulan Sacred Bird had only been at the Deity Transformation Stage, whereas this one was giving off fearsome spiritual pressure close to the Grand Ascension Stage, forcing even Han Li to take it seriously.

Before Han Li had a chance to think too much about this, the black-robed man opened his mouth once again to release an antiquated golden mirror, then flipped a hand over to produce a silver scroll.

The golden mirror revolved above his head at his behest, then summoned a series of identical golden mirror projections, which numbered in the thousands.

Meanwhile, the silver scroll unfurled on its own, releasing countless silver runes that transformed into 18 expressionless silver-armored warriors that were wielding different weapons.

All of them were giving off frosty auras, as if their bodies were constructed from profound ice.

Go and kill that man! the black-robed man roared as he stabbed a finger in Han Lis direction.

The purple phoenix immediately flew toward Han Li as a purple fiery cloud alongside the 18 armored warriors at the mans behest, while balls of golden flames erupted out of the mirror projections before crashing down in a devastating storm.

Chapter 2287: Battle Against the Asura Spiders

All of the pillars of crimson light plunged into the ground down below in a flash, and the earth immediately began to tremor before widening rifts began to appear on its surface.

At the same time, Hei Lin made a grabbing motion to summon a purplish-golden staff, which he swung downward, unleashing a giant staff projection around 10,000 feet in length that crashed down onto the ground like a divine weapon.

An earth-shattering boom rang out, and the entire ground was completely shattered, creating a massive crater in the desert.

Hei Lin chortled as he raised his staff again, preparing to unleash even more attacks, but right at this moment, countless pillars of light of different colors erupted out of the crater in the sand.

Immediately thereafter, the desert bulged, and a stone city that was enshrouded within several layers of light barriers slowly emerged.

Standing atop the wall directly in front of the stone city were the green-robed woman, black-robed man, and several hundred subordinates, all of whom were appraising Han Lis group with grim expressions.

The green-robed woman was extremely infuriated, but she forcibly repressed her temper as she asked, So it really is you. May I ask how our Asura Spider Race has offended you?

Han Lis incredible spiritual sense had left her with a very deep impression, and she didnt want to have to battle him if it were avoidable, even though it was clear that Han Lis group wasnt here for a diplomatic meeting.

Of course, the green-robed woman was also trying to stall for time so more of their reinforcements could return.

Hehe, we havent ever crossed paths before, so you naturally havent offended me in any way, but we came into this realm specifically for your Asura Spider Race. If youre willing to hand over the cores of your brethren, then we could end this peacefully, Hei Lin replied with a sinister smile in Han Lis stead.

The green-robed womans expression changed drastically upon hearing this. You want the cores of our brethren? In that case, you must be trying to harness our powers of time.

Not exactly, but thats close enough. So? Are you willing to hand over the cores? Xue Ran asked.

Keep dreaming! Seeing as youve made your intentions clear, theres no need for any further discussion.

The woman waved a hand as she spoke, and most of the people behind her abruptly vanished amid a flash of light, leaving only less than 20 people still standing atop the city wall, most of whom were giving off Body Integration Stage auras, while four of them were close to the Grand Ascension Stage.

Those four were all mature Asura Spiders, and Mo Jianlis expression immediately changed slightly upon seeing this.

Han Lis eyes also narrowed ever so slightly.

Back when he had last visited the stone city, there had been only three mature Asura Spiders.

Xue Ran and Hei Lin exchanged a glance upon seeing this, and both of their expressions darkened as they sprang into action in unison.

Xue Ran flicked a finger toward the giant incense burner before him, and the rank odor emanating from the burner became drastically more pronounced, while a series of specks of azure light appeared above it.

These specks of azure light then transformed into fist-sized hornets with ghostly faces.

Not only were the heads of these giant hornets all riddled with ghostly patterns, their bodies were blurry and indistinct, as if they didnt possess substantial bodies.

Go! Xue Ran commanded as he swept a sleeve through the air, and the tens of thousands of ghost-faced hornets flew directly forward as an azure swarm.

Meanwhile, Xue Ran took a stride forward, appearing between the flying boat and the stone city with the eight balls of crimson light around him.

Within the balls of crimson light, the eight infants opened their mouths again in unison, blasting eight pillars of crimson light directly toward the green-robed woman.

The woman was just about to say something to the black-robed man beside her, but she was infuriated by this blatant act of provocation, and she also emerged before Xue Ran amid a flash of silver light, then swept a hand through the air to release a ball of golden light.

The ball of golden light managed to withstand all eight pillars of crimson light, and only then was it revealed to be a giant golden shield that was over 20 feet tall.

As all of this was taking place, Han Li and the black-robed man were appraising each other from afar, displaying no intention to intervene.

At this moment, the swarm of ghost-faced wasps also reached the green-robed woman before descending toward her.

The green-robed woman harrumphed coldly as she swept a sleeve upward, releasing a streak of white light over 100 feet in length that sliced the azure swarm in half down the middle.

A string of cracks and pops rang out from within the hornet swarm, and the streak of white light made several laps around the entire swarm, upon which all of the hornets exploded into specks of azure light again.

However, not only was Xue Ran not alarmed by this, a sinister smile appeared on his face as he opened his mouth to expel several mouthfuls of blood essence, all of which vanished into the giant incense burner in a flash.

The ghostly wails ringing out from within the burner instantly became more pronounced, and wisps of crimson light began to flash within the incense flame.

Immediately thereafter, all of the specks of azure light in the distance transformed into azure hornets again.

Before the green-robed woman had a chance to unleash her streak of white light again, all of the ghost-faced hornets suddenly vanished in unison.

In the next instant, howling winds swept through the nearby area, and a series of semi-transparent wind blades emerged before converging toward her.

These attacks appeared to be quite ordinary, but the green-robed womans expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, and she immediately thrust a hand into the golden shield before her, creating a sound akin to that of a massive gong being struck.

The golden shield instantly transformed into a golden light barrier around her, and in the next instant, the storm of wind blades struck the light barrier in a frenzy.

The surface of the golden light barrier immediately began to ripple incessantly, but it was able to keep the destructive storm at bay.

The green-robed woman then plucked off a few strands of her own hair before blowing upon them, and the strands of hair instantly transformed into around a dozen giant black pythons that were over 1,000 feet in length, all of which pounced directly toward Xue Ran.

Xue Rans expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and he immediately made a hand seal, upon which the infants in the eight balls of crimson light let loose inhuman roars before transforming into eight sinister devils with one horn on each of their heads.

The horned devils then flew toward the oncoming black pythons with crimson flames all over their bodies, while their fingers had transformed into sharp blades that were inflicting wounds upon the pythons with every swipe.

In contrast, the pythons possessed formidable strength, whipping their bodies through the air like devastating whips, or biting toward the horned devils with their sharp fangs while expelling clouds of extremely poisonous green mist.

Thus, a fierce battle ensued between the eight horned devils and the giant black pythons, but it was clear that the pythons held the upper hand.

Xue Rans expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, and he was just about to summon another treasure when the green-robed woman laid a hand onto the top of her own head with a fierce expression.

A ball of green light immediately shot out of her head, transforming into a mountainous spider projection.

The spider was entirely green in color with tufts of hard fur all over its body that resembled steel needles.

In the next instant, the spider abruptly vanished on the spot, and Xue Ran was naturally very alarmed to see this.

However, before he had a chance to do anything, the green-robed woman opened her mouth to release countless green threads, which instantly appeared near Xue Ran as if by instantaneous teleportation.

At the same time, spatial fluctuations erupted above Xue Ran, and a pair of sharp spider claws that resembled lethal hooks emerged before plunging down toward his head like lightning.

Xue Rans heart jolted upon seeing this, and he hurriedly reached into his own sleeve before pulling out a short yellow whip, which he immediately swept upward.

A yellow mountain projection that was over 1,000 feet tall appeared in a flash to oppose the pair of sharp claws, and sure enough, the two claws were repelled by the mountain projection with ease.

However, the green threads continued onward, preparing to pierce into Xue Rans protective spiritual light.

Right at this moment, purplish-golden light flashed in front of Xue Ran, and a massive staff projection appeared without any warning before transforming into a purplish-golden light barrier to keep the green threads at bay.

Immediately thereafter, the staff-wielding Hei Lin emerged beside Xue Ran amid a burst of spatial fluctuations.

Chapter 2286: Prior to the Battle

The green-robed womans expression changed drastically, and she immediately exclaimed, Youre referring to Yinger? Absolutely not! Shes in a critical stage of her cultivation, and whether we succeed or not in our plan will depend on her, so we cant disrupt her now.

Im aware of the importance of Fairy Yingers cultivation, but if we cant keep those foreign Grand Ascension Stage beings at bay, shell be forced to come out of seclusion anyway, all Im saying is that we should notify her of the situation. If we can take care of those Grand Ascension Stage beings on our own, then there will be no need for her to come out of seclusion, the black-robed man said.

Prior to going into seclusion, Yinger told me not to disrupt her no matter what or all of her efforts could go to naught, so Ill have to think about this more carefully before I make a decision. Even if we only notify her of the situation, it could affect her mental state, the green-robed woman replied with a hesitant expression.

The black-robed man was rather displeased to hear this, but he was also aware of how important this Yingers cultivation was, so he moved on to another topic. Alright, Im only proposing this as a last resort as well. Also, youre going to have to activate all of the restrictions in the city, then use the levitation restriction to move the city elsewhere. We wont be able to move the city too far away, but perhaps it could buy us some time.

Around two hours later, layers of light suddenly appeared over various parts of the stone city, quickly enveloping the entire city.

Immediately thereafter, the ground in a radius of several hundred kilometers began to tremor violently, following which the stone city rose up from the earth before slowly flying away into the distance.

Shortly thereafter, the entire city had disappeared, leaving only a gigantic crater on the ground.

Azure light suddenly flashed from behind a nondescript-looking tree not far away from the crater, and a green-skinned azure-robed young man suddenly appeared.

This young man was none other than Han Lis spirit body, and it cast its gaze toward the direction that the stone city had disappeared in as a peculiar smile appeared on its face.

It then made a hand seal and vanished into the soil amid a flash of azure light.

Meanwhile, a white flying boat was traveling over a grassland countless kilometers away from the stone citys former site.

Han Li and Mo Jianli were seated in meditation at the front of the boat, while Xue Ran and Hei Lin were standing at the back, communicating through voice transmission.

All of a sudden, Han Lis expression changed slightly, and he reopened his eyes.

Mo Jianli immediately sensed this, and he also opened his eyes as he asked, Is there something wrong, Fellow Daoist Han?

No, its just that were going to have to make a slight change in direction, Han Li replied in a nonchalant manner.

Mo Jianli faltered slightly upon hearing this before a knowing smile appeared on his face. It looks like youve set up some surveillance measures.

Han Li nodded in response. I left a clone near the stone city, and its just informed me that the stone city has moved away, but it wont be able to go far. Were already traveling at full speed, and well get there in a day at most.

I can see youre very confident, looks like theres nothing for me to worry about, Mo Jianli replied with a nod.

Han Li smiled, and said, I wouldnt say Im confident, but there should be a very good chance that well be able to take down those Asura Spiders. Once we obtain the Threads of Time, you and Brother Ao should have an easier time transcending your upcoming tribulations.

Hehe, I certainly hope so. However, theres definitely going to be a stern battle up ahead. Even if those Asura Spiders are no match for us, it most likely wouldnt be easy to stop them if they were to try and escape, Mo Jianli said with a wry smile.

In that case, things really will be rather troublesome. However, I have a few expendable Body Integration Stage puppets that should be somewhat useful against the Asura Spiders that havent reached full maturity yet, Han Li said.

Mo Jianli was ecstatic to hear this. Body Integration Stage puppets? Perhaps we really will be able to slay one or two mature Asura Spiders then. If we really do manage to succeed on this trip, then Ill be sure to repay you handsomely.

Theres no need for that, those puppets arent all that important to me anyway, Han Li said with a smile, then flipped a hand over to produce a black bracelet, which he handed over to Mo Jianli.

Within the bracelet contained several Body Integration Stage Devil Crystal Puppets that he had obtained from the Elder Devil Realm.

Half of those puppets were on the Inkspirit Holy Ark, while half of them were being carried by Han Li in case their services were required.

Mo Jianli accepted the storage bracelet with an elated expression, then offered his gratitude to Han Li again after injecting his spiritual sense into it.

With these puppets to assist him, he would have enough time to unleash some of his most powerful trump cards.

Thus, Mo Jianli began to study the puppet manipulation technique enclosed in the storage bracelet, while Han Li closed his eyes and continued to meditate.

A day later, white light flashed from the edge of the mountain range that the stone city had once been situated at, and Han Li and the others emerged in their flying boat.

However, the flying boat didnt even pause for a moment before continuing onward.

A short while later, the boat passed through the center of the mountain range, then vanished into the distance again.

An indistinct figure was watching the flying boat from a secretive tree hollow down below.

Only after the flying boat completely disappeared from view did the figure emerge from the tree hollow, revealing him to be a silver-robed young man.

He looked up into the sky with a grim expression for a long while, then vanished as a gentle breeze.

Meanwhile, the flying boat passed over a lake and several forests, upon which it arrived at a plateau with no end in sight.

Only then did Han Li reopen his eyes, and he said, Were about to reach our destination, so get ready, fellow daoists.

He rose to his feet as he spoke, and everyone else on the boat also followed suit before casting their eyes up ahead.

However, there was no city to be seen.

Where is the Asura Spiders lair, Fellow Daoist Han? Xue Ran asked with furrowed brows.

Rest assured, Brother Xue, youll see it after we travel a few more thousand kilometers, Han Li replied. freewenovel.cm

Hei Lin immediately released his enormous spiritual sense upon hearing this, and moments later, his eyes abruptly lit up.

There is indeed a city hidden beneath a patch of sand up ahead!

Alright, then lets do this! Xue Ran nodded in response before opening his mouth to expel a ball of black light, within which was a fist-sized black incense burner with a thin stick of incense protruding out of it.

The stick of incense was as red as blood and around a foot in length.

Xue Ran made a hand seal, then pointed a finger forward, and the incense burner instantly swelled to around 10 feet tall.

He then opened his mouth to expel a burst of crimson flames that ignited the stick of incense, and a rank odor immediately began to waft through the air.

Immediately thereafter, Xue Ran began to chant something, and a string of ghostly wails suddenly rang out from within the incense burner.

At the same time, eight balls of crimson light flew out of Xue Rans body, each of which sat an infant with crimson patterns all over their delicate skin and extremely unsettling smiles on their faces.

Meanwhile, Hei Lin laid a hand onto a leather pouch hanging from his waist, and a burst of black Qi immediately flew out of the pouch before forming a black cloud that was around an acre in size high up in the sky.

Incessant hissing could be heard within the black cloud, indicating that there was something lurking in there.

Immediately thereafter, Hei Lin swept his sleeves through the air, releasing around a dozen black flags that vanished into thin air in a flash.

At the same time, Mo Jianli had also summoned a pair of spirit beast bracelets, which released a snowy white flying tiger, and a crimson fiery bird, both of which were giving off Body Integration Stage auras.

Mo Jianli then made a hand seal, and several treasures flew out of his body.

Han Li appraised all of this in silence, but didnt do anything himself.

A distance of several thousand kilometers was covered in mere moments, and all of a sudden, Han Li tapped a foot down onto a formation plate beneath him, upon which the flying boat drew to an abrupt halt.

Xue Ran looked down at the vast expanse of sand below, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he uttered the word break!

The infants hovering in the balls of crimson light around him immediately opened their mouths in unison at his behest, releasing eight pillars of crimson light that descended from above.

Chapter 2285: News

As soon as his voice trailed off, he suddenly reached out behind him in a flash, and a deafening boom rang out as a burst of enormous invisible power surged toward that direction like a giant net.

A blurry yellow figure was completely caught off guard and forced to reveal himself, but he was somehow able to struggle free as he twisted around in an alarmed manner, then sped away as a streak of yellow light.

Hmph, you think you can still get away? A cold look appeared on Hei Lins face as he curled his fingers inward before pulling back his arm.

A dull thump rang out as a giant black palm emerged in the air above the yellow figure before swooping down like lightning.

The yellow figure tried to evade with all his might, but on this occasion, his efforts proved to be futile, and he was immediately caught by the giant hand.

A cold smile appeared on Hei Lins face as he drew the yellow figure back toward himself, and at this point, the figure had been revealed to everyone as a thin yellow-robed young man.

Judging from his horrified expression, it was clear that he was well aware of whose hands he had fallen into, and after a brief hesitation, he chanted an incantation as he made a hand seal, following which his body began to swell drastically amid flashes of blinding yellow light.

Hei Lins expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and he immediately pointed a finger toward the distance.

A streak of black light surged through the air directly toward the young man, but it was already too late.

In the instant that the streak of black light pierced through the young mans body, a deafening explosion erupted, and the yellow-robed young man was able to self-detonate.

In the wake of the violent explosion, even the massive black hand was tremoring incessantly.

I didnt think that he would self-detonate so soon, Hei Lin grumbled as his expression darkened significantly.

The giant black hand quickly disintegrated, and Han Li cast his gaze toward the spot where the young man had just self-detonated before a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

That mans concealment techniques were quite profound, but I think his self-detonation isnt as simple as it looks.

Xue Ran reacted quite quickly, and he asked, Oh? Are you saying that he didnt actually detonate his own true body?

A hint of surprise also appeared on Mo Jianlis face upon hearing this.

I think so. However, it most likely wasnt an ordinary puppet or clone, either. If this were his true body, then theres no way that a Body Integration Stage beings self-detonation would be so lackluster in power, Han Li said.

That is indeed rather strange. On top of that, I could clearly see that he had no Nascent Soul within his body during his self-detonation, Xue Ran mused with a contemplative nod.

Hei Lin was still unwilling to give up, and he suddenly transformed into dark clouds that surged away in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the black clouds had scoured through a massive area, but were unable to discover anything, and in the end, they could only return to the mountain, where they converged to manifest Hei Lins body again.

Hes not hiding nearby, and its quite lucky for him that he isnt. Otherwise, if he were to fall into my hands… A hint of killing intent flashed through Hei Lins eyes as he spoke.

Haha, its alright, that man was spying on us from the shadows, but Ive already set up a sound restrictions here, so he wouldnt have been able to hear our discussion, Xue Ran said with a nonchalant wave of his hand.

Could it be that he was sent out by the Asura Spiders? Mo Jianli asked in a cautious manner as he stroked his own beard.

Rest assured, even if that was an Asura Spider spy, he wouldnt have been able to glean anything from so far away, the ultimate outcome of the battle will still be decided through absolute power, Hei Lin said in a dismissive manner.

Brother Hei Lin is right, but as a safety precaution, lets head to the lair right away instead of resting here any longer. If we do that, the Asura Spiders wont have a chance to do anything even if theyre alerted to our presence, Han Li suggested.

You want to go there right away? Xue Rans brows furrowed slightly in a reluctant manner.

With our powers, well be able to rest by meditating on our flying treasures. By doing this, well be able to seize the initiative, and that should give us an advantage, perhaps well be able to gain an upper hand as soon as the battle begins, Han Li said in an unhurried manner.

Xue Ran hesitated momentarily before nodding in agreement. Alright then. I had intended to refine a powerful secret technique before we go, but seizing the initiative is indeed more important.

Thats a wise decision, Fellow Daoist, lets set off right away, Han Li said with a smile before sweeping a sleeve through the air, releasing a white flying boat amid a flash of white light.

Xue Ran and the others quickly flew onto the boat one after another, following which Han Li made a hand seal, and the boat immediately flew away as a ball of white light.

Around 15 minutes later, a burst of faint yellow light emerged in a dense forest tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mountain that Han Li and the other were previously situated on.

The yellow-robed young man then stepped out from behind a huge tree before glancing at the direction the flying boat had disappeared in with a hint of lingering fear in his eyes.

Thank heavens I had the foresight to hide this far away. Otherwise, I wouldve truly been in severe peril. So there are four Grand Ascension Stage beings who have entered this realm, its a pity that my clone was unable to hear their conversation, so I still dont know whether theyre targeting the Asura Spider Race.

The yellow-robed young man was silent for a moment before a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face. Regardless of whether those people are going after the Asura Spider Race, all I need to do is send this information back to them, then hide out here for a few days to weather the storm.

Having made that decision, he opened his mouth to expel a white wooden badge before grabbing onto it, then waved it through the air a few times.

Specks of silver light immediately appeared on the surface of the badge, forming tiny silver runes that vanished deep into the badge in a flash.

Meanwhile, the green-robed woman and the black-robed elderly man were discussing something in a secret chamber within the stone city that was the lair of the Asura Spiders.

All of a sudden, a faint buzzing sound rang out from a black stone platform in front of the two of them, and traces of silver light began to emerge on its surface.

The green-robed woman faltered slightly upon seeing this, then immediately raised a hand to cast an incantation seal onto the stone platform.

Lines of silver text instantly surfaced on the stone platform, and both the green-robed woman and the black-robed mans expression changed slightly upon reading the message.

Four Grand Ascension Stage beings? the elderly man murmured to himself with furrowed brows.

I didnt think that that man would have other Grand Ascension Stage allies, this is very troubling, the green-robed woman said with a grim expression.

They may not be coming after us, but we still have to take the necessary precautions. Have you summoned all of our subordinates back to the city? the black-robed man asked.

Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Yi, aside from a few who are taking care of important tasks, everyone else has been summoned back to the city. Ive even sent someone to undo the restrictions on the nine Yin corpses that are being soaked in the Earth Yin Swamp, and theyll arrive at the city in two more days at most, the green-robed woman replied.

Thats good to hear. Ive also summoned some spirit beasts back to the city, but theyll also take some time to get here. However, even with all that, we still may not be able to defeat those outsiders. How about this? Ive interacted with that Che Qizi on several occasions, how about I offer it some benefits so it can stay in our city for some time? the black-robed man suggested.

What? Che Qizi? Thats preposterous! That thing has been looking to prey on us Asura Spiders for a very long time, allowing it into the city would be far too dangerous! the green-robed woman refused as she shook her head vigorously.

The black-robed mans brows furrowed slightly as he said, Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Luo, that Che Qizi does possess some troublesome abilities, but its just a beast. If we join forces, well definitely be able to restrict it, and we need to focus on the bigger picture.

The woman seemed to have been swayed somewhat by the black-robed mans words, and she replied, Hmph, setting that aside, it definitely wont be cheap to recruit its services.

Im aware of that, which is why this is what I propose… The black-robed man seemed to have considered this in advance, and he communicated his plan to the woman through voice transmission.

What? Thats way too heavy a price to ask me to pay! the green-robed woman exclaimed after hearing the plan.

Its just a few dead eggs that cant be incubated, theres no point in keeping them. However, Im sure theyll be enough to tempt that Che Qizi, the black-robed man chuckled.

Instead of giving a definitive response, the woman replied, Ill have to think carefully about this first. frewbovel.cm

Alright, but while you think about this, dont forget to contact that woman in the blood pond. If something unforeseen happens, well have to borrow his powers, the black-robed man said.

Chapter 2284: Joining Forces

This type of captivation technique is very potent, but its not a cause for concern if one is aware of it in advance. Having said that, Ive heard that Che Qizis are one of the vastly renowned 10 great beasts of the ancient Asura Realm, and its said that theyre born from the sinful energy of countless living beings and possess several extremely troublesome innate abilities, I didnt think that I would encounter such a beast here, Han Li mused.

Be careful, Fellow Daoist Han, this beast doesnt possess a substantial body, and most of its abilities seem to stem from its wings. I engaged in several clashes against it earlier, and its abilities are all indeed quite troublesome to face. However, it seems that your Divine Devilbane Lightning has a suppressive effect on it, Mo Jianli said.

Ive also noticed that it seems to be rather fearful of Divine Devilbane Lightning, Han Li said with a faint smile before making a grabbing motion, and an azure longsword was manifested in his grasp amid a flash of azure light.

He slashed the sword through the air, and a giant sword projection that was over 1,000 feet in length appeared above the Che Qizi in a flash.

Countless arcs of golden lightning then erupted over the surface of the sword projection before it came crashing down with devastating force.

The Che Qizi let loose a wary hissing sound at the sight of the descending sword projection, and it immediately flapped its wings, upon which its entire body exploded disintegrated into a burst of turquoise mist, which plunged straight into the ground down below at an incredible speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Han Li faltered slightly upon seeing this before the giant sword projection sped up severalfold in its descent at his behest, and it also struck the area that the mist had just vanished into at an astounding speed.

An earth-shattering boom rang out, and a massive trench that was over 10,000 feet in length was created.

The trench was unfathomably deep, and the ground near it was entirely charred black, but the Che Qizi was nowhere to be seen.

Thats some impressive decisiveness and speed, Han Li murmured to himself, and he thought about it for a moment, but decided against giving chase in the end.

Che Qizis were indeed vastly renowned, but they served no purpose for him, so there was no need for him to pursue it.

Che Qizis are quite intelligent as well, it mustve immediately fled as it knew that it was no match for you, Mo Jianli said as a relieved smile appeared on his face.

It is indeed quite a cunning creature. How did you end up being chased by such a thing, Brother Mo? Han Li asked.

This was actually quite an unfortunate accident. I was searching for Asura Spiders, but unintentionally ventured into the lair of another type of spider, and there was a Che Qizi lurking beneath the lair, Mo Jianli explained as an awkward look appeared on his face.

It was extremely rare for Grand Ascension Stage beings to be chased in such a sorry manner, so this was quite embarrassing for him.

I see. Considering there are even Che Qizis in this realm, this most likely really is a fragment of the ancient Asura Realm, Han Li mused, and he wasnt very surprised by this conclusion.

I agree. Ive seen many things thus far that should be unique to the Asura Realm, but I still havent seen a single Asura Spider. We can only stay in this realm for around half a month, and close to half of that time has already elapsed. Have you discovered anything, Fellow Daoist Han? Mo Jianlis brows furrowed slightly as he spoke.

Hehe, rest assured, Brother Mo, Ive already tracked down the lair of the Asura Spiders, Han Li said with a smile.

Mo Jianli faltered slightly upon hearing this before an ecstatic look appeared on his face. Is that true?

I wouldnt lie about something like this, Han Li replied with a smile.

A thought then suddenly occurred to Mo Jianli, and he asked with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, With your abilities, could it be that youve already slain the Asura Spider and obtained a Thread of Time?

Im afraid not, Han Li replied with a shake of his head.

Oh? Why is that? Mo Jianli was rather taken aback to hear this.

I wasnt powerful enough to hunt down the Asura Spiders on my own, Han Li sighed.

Even you arent able to handle the Asura Spiders? Are there a lot of mature Asura Spiders in that lair? Mo Jianli asked with a surprised expression.

Im not sure how many mature Asura Spiders are in there, but I did discover an Asura Spider that was no less powerful than a true spirit being, Han Li replied.

Mo Jianlis expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Han Li continued, In addition to that, there was another Grand Ascension Stage being that was no less powerful than the aforementioned Asura Spider, and I discovered at least three mature Asura Spiders. Hence, after a brief clash, I immediately retreated. If we want to take down all of the Asura Spiders, then the four of us will need to join forces. Also, these Asura Spiders have recruited many powerful beasts near their lair, most of which are at the Deity Transformation Stage and Spatial Tempering Stage, but there are some Body Integration Stage beings among them as well.

That does indeed sound like something that we wont be able to take on on our own. Looks like well have to take some risks, Mo Jianli said as his expression darkened slightly.

This is why its necessary for us to join forces if we want to obtain Threads of Time. Did you happen to encounter Xue Ran and Hei Lin on your way here? Han Li asked.

I havent met them, but as I was passing through a forest, I discovered a trail that they left behind, and judging from that trail, they should be heading toward this direction as well, Mo Jianli replied.

In that case, they shouldnt be far away from here. What we need to do now is track them down as quickly as possible, Han Li replied with a contemplative nod.

Alright, lets get into contact with them and discuss a collaboration, Mo Jianli agreed without any hesitation.

Thus, after a brief discussion, the two of them flew away in different directions.

……

Over half a day later, Han Li and Mo Jianli were both seated on a giant azure stone.

Xue Ran and Hei Lin were also seated nearby across from the two of them.

Following their separation, Mo Jianli had encountered Xue Ran and Hei Lin after searching for only a few hours, and he was naturally ecstatic.

He immediately disclosed the situation to Xue Ran and Hei Lin, then sent a message to Han Li.

In the end, the four of them met up in this rather secluded mountain range.

A short while ago, Han Li had told Xue Ran and Hei Lin about the powerful Asura Spiders he had encountered, as well as his plan for a collaboration.

Xue Ran stroked his chin with his brows tightly furrowed, and said, If those Asura Spiders really are as powerful as you proclaim, then we may not be able to gain the upper hand even if we join forces. Hei Lin and myself will only be able to keep the most powerful Asura Spider or that foreign Grand Ascension Stage being occupied, will you and Fellow Daoist Mo be able to take on the rest?

Instead of offering an immediate response, Han Li turned to Mo Jianli with a smile, and asked, What do you think, Brother Mo?

I wouldnt be able to take on the most powerful Asura Spider or that foreign Grand Ascension Stage being, but I should be able to stall those three mature Asura Spiders for some time, Mo Jianli replied after a brief moment of contemplation.

In that case, does Fellow Daoist Han intend to face one of the two most powerful Grand Ascension Stage beings on his own? Hei Lin asked as he glanced at Han Li out of the corner of his eyes, clearly not very confident in Han Lis abilities.

Thats exactly what I intend to do. Which of those two are you planning to take on? Han Li asked.

Xue Ran and Hei Lin were rather taken aback by this response, and only after exchanging a slightly bewildered glance did Xue Ran reply, I can see that youre very confident. In that case, the two of us will do our best as well. Judging from your description, that female Asura Spider seems to be the most powerful of the bunch, so well take her on. However, lets clarify one thing first: how are we going to split the cores of the Asura Spiders if we secure victory here?

Thats simple, the one who kills the Asura Spider gets to keep the core, Han Li replied without any hesitation.

Mo Jianlis expression changed slightly upon hearing this, while Xue Ran and Hei Lin were very pleased by this answer.

Youre a straightforward man, Fellow Daoist Han! In that case, wouldnt you be at a disadvantage?

Not necessarily. If I can take care of my opponent before you do, perhaps Ill be able to track down other mature Asura Spiders in the lair, and I certainly wont be holding back. Alternatively, perhaps Ill land the killing blow on your opponent if you take too long, Han Li chuckled.

If you really can defeat your opponent faster than we do, then youre entitled to step in, neither of us will have any complaints, Xue Ran replied with a confident smile.

In that case, lets rest for half a day and head to the lair tomorrow morning. We dont have much time left, so it would be best to make haste, Han Li suggested with a smile.

Xue Ran and Hei Lin naturally had no objections to this.

Before that, let me take care of this pesky little pest first, Hei Lin suddenly said as he rose to his feet.

Chapter 2283: Che Qizi

Han Li then pointed a finger downward, and the azure chain immediately transformed into a thin thread before abruptly tightening, and the giant turtle was dismembered into countless chunks.

Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations erupted from the surface of the lake, and a translucent white bowl emerged before instantly swelling to around an acre in size.

The dismembered carcass of the giant turtle fell into the bowl with unerring accuracy, following which the bowl was drawn back to Han Li by a wave of his hand.

During its flight, it returned to its original size, and in the blink of an eye, it had returned to Han Lis grasp.

He swept his spiritual sense into the bowl in an unhurried manner before a pleased look appeared on his face.

The Xuan Wu bloodline within this massive turtle wasnt all that pure, but it would suffice for the cultivation of his 12 Awakening Transformations.

With that in mind, he flipped his hand over to stow the bowl into his storage bracelet, then cast his gaze toward the golden spirit plant before drawing it into his own grasp as well.

The plant wasnt going to be very useful to him, but it was clearly extremely precious to some beasts. Otherwise, it wouldnt have attracted so many powerful beasts and caused such a fierce battle.

If he could find someone who needed this plant, it could be used as a decent exchange token.

After that, Han Li released a burst of silver flames to incinerate all of the beast carcasses on the surface of the lake into ashes, then prepared to depart.

However, right at this moment, a burst of faint buzzing rang out from his body, and he faltered slightly before a smile appeared on his face.

He flipped a hand over to produce an egg-sized white crystal ball that had bursts of light surging over its surface, as well as specks of light that were around the size of grains of rice flashing incessantly within it.

Han Li stared into the crystal ball for a moment before flying away as a streak of azure light in a completely different direction from before.

Meanwhile, a streak of bright white light was flying through the air at an incredible speed above a barren plain millions of kilometers away from Han Li.

Close to 10 kilometers behind the streak of white light was a massive sea of turquoise mist that encompassed virtually the entirety of heaven and earth and was releasing a deafening rumbling sound.

Furthermore, it wasnt any slower than the streak of white light. In fact, it was a sliver faster, if anything.

The two flew over a distance of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye, and it didnt take long for the distance between the two of them to be closed down to within five kilometers.

A burst of sinister cackling rang out within the sea of mist, following which the front section of the mist suddenly transformed into a giant green scorpion projection and a massive blue toad projection.

The scorpion projection raised its huge stinger before releasing a pillar of dark green light, while the giant blue toad opened its mouth, and all of sudden, the space within a radius of several kilometers abruptly congealed as the result of some type of mysterious restrictive force, and the streak of white light involuntarily decelerated.

As such, the pillar of dark green light reached the streak of white light in a flash, and just as the two were about to clash, a flurry of countless five-colored runes suddenly emerged from within the white light.

A burst of violent tremors erupted, and the streak of white light was able to struggle free from the restrictive force.

A crimson bolt of lighting then sprang out of the white light to strike the pillar of green light, and even though the bolt of lightning appeared entirely unremarkable, it was able to instantly dispel the pillar of green light.

At the same time, a burst of urgent chanting rang out from within the streak of white light, and it abruptly vanished on the spot, only to reappear close to 10 kilometers away in the next instant.

Situated within the white light was none other than Mo Jianli, and he was holding a small white flag in one hand, and a dark red hammer in the other.

There were strands of green Qi binding around half of his body, while the other of his body was covered in a layer of peculiar blue ice.

He wore a grim expression as he cast a glance toward the sea of mist, then immediately continued onward without any hesitation.

Immediately thereafter, the scorpion and toad projections vanished in a flash, and the sea of mist continued to give chase.

Thus, the process repeated itself. Whenever the sea of mist got too close, Mo Jianli would be forced to use the two treasures he was holding to dispel the oncoming attacks, then open up some distance again.

This chase had already gone on for a day and a night, and even with Mo Jianlis Grand Ascension Stage cultivation base, he had expended close to half of his magic power.

If he hadnt been notified earlier by the treasure that he was carrying that Han Li was nearby, he wouldve most likely already considered unleashing some type of self-harming secret technique to save himself.

Thankfully, a distance of a few million kilometers wasnt very far for beings of their caliber, and right after Mo Jianli used his treasures to dispel another wave of attacks, a streak of azure light suddenly appeared in the distance up ahead.

Mo Jianli was ecstatic to see this, and as opposed to using his teleportation ability again, he threw his white flag up into the air, releasing a series of white halos that formed a thick light barrier around him.

At the same time, he lashed out viciously toward the sea of mist with his red hammer.

With Han Li coming to assist him, he was naturally going to teach his pursuer a good lesson.

An earth-shattering boom rang out, and the thick blanket of dark clouds in the sky was abruptly forced apart as a bolt of red lightning that was several thousand feet in length came crashing down upon the giant toad projection.

The projection was dispelled in a flash, and strangely enough, the giant scorpion projection also let loose an agonized hissing sound as its body disintegrated into mist as well.

After that, the sea of mist began to converge toward the center, and moments later, the mist completely faded to reveal a monstrous creature with a pair of crimson eyes.

The creature had the body of a scorpion but the head of a toad, and it was over 100 feet in length.

It also had a pair of giant wings that seemed to be caught somewhere between illusion and reality, and there were countless human faces writhing on those wings.

A cold light flashed through the creatures eyes, and it let loose a string of loud croaks, while a burst of sinister cackling rang out from its wings.

As soon as this sound entered Mo Jianlis ears, his spiritual sense was struck by a sense of intense drowsiness.

His heart immediately jolted, and he knew that he was in a very perilous situation, but his entire body was so sluggish that he was unable to muster up any spiritual sense to resist.

To think that even after being pursued by this creature for so long, it still had such a dangerous spiritual sense secret technique up its sleeve.

Right at this moment, the giant creature flapped its wings, unleashing a pair of giant blades that were several tens of feet in length each, both of which slashed directly toward Mo Jianli.

The blades seemed to be moving quite slowly, but they reached Mo Jianli in the blink of an eye before infiltrating into his protective light barrier without any inhibition.

Mo Jianli was truly alarmed to see this, and he was just about to adopt desperate measures to save himself when spatial fluctuations suddenly erupted behind him, and an intrigued voice rang out.

What is this thing? Its quite an interesting creature!

As soon as the voice trailed off, countless arcs of golden lightning sprang forth amid a rumbling thunderclap before striking the two giant blades with devastating force. freewenovel.cm

Han Li could tell that Mo Jianli was in great peril, so he immediately teleported over to Mo Jianli before unleashing his Divine Devilbane Lightning to oppose the oncoming attack.

As soon as the golden lightning came into contact with massive blades, the latter immediately disintegrated into mist again as if they had encountered the bane of their existence.

In the next instant, turquoise mist surged behind the monstrous creature, following which its wings reappeared, but they were noticeably smaller than before.

The creatures pupils contracted, and a hint of fear appeared in its eye as it cast its gaze toward Han Li.

Meanwhile, Han Li gently patted Mo Jianlis shoulder, and a burst of refreshing coolness immediately surged through the latters entire body.

As a result, Mo Jianlis sluggishness was instantly alleviated, and he regained control over his own spiritual sense.

Thank you, Brother Han. This Che Qizi was a vastly renowned creature even in the ancient Asura. Even if a Grand Ascension cultivator were to be trapped in its poisonous mist, they would quickly be reduced to nothingness, Mo Jianli hurriedly cautioned.

Han Li was enlightened upon hearing this, and as opposed to being fearful, the intrigue in his eyes only grew more pronounced. So this is a Che Qizi, I was wondering why you didnt dare to face it head-on. Speaking of which, I dont recall any tomes that state that this creature is adept in captivation secret techniques.

He instantly arrived in front of Mo Jianli in a flash and began to carefully inspect this Che Qizi.

I dont know why that is, either. There are very little records regarding these creatures, so perhaps it was merely an oversight. If it werent because of this, I wouldnt have been placed in such a perilous situation, Mo Jianli said with a wry smile as he pulled out a vial and took some magic power regenerative pills.

Chapter 2282: Xuan Wu True Blood

This was a pair of young men with vastly contrasting appearances, one of them was a silver-armored man with a head of white hair and a set of handsome facial features, while the other was a very thin and short yellow-robed man with a less than pleasant appearance.

Both of them were giving off mid-Body Integration Stage auras, and they immediately extended respectful salutes toward the pair in the hall.

The silver-armored man asked, Do you have some instructions for us, Seniors?

No need for formalities. Im sure you two have heard about whats just happened outside the city, right? the green-robed woman asked.

The silver-armored mans heart stirred slightly upon hearing this, and he replied in a cautious manner, We have, but all we know is that we were attacked by a being who seems to be very powerful.

Brother Yi and I have some ideas about what that mans intentions may be, but we require confirmation, so we need you two to do some investigating, the green-robed woman said.

The pair of young men had already guessed that such a task was waiting for them, but their expressions still changed slightly upon hearing this.

The silver-armored man was feeling very uneasy, but he could only muster up some courage before replying, Er… That mans powers are clearly far beyond ours, Im afraid that if we were to undertake this task, it would inevitably end in failure and pose a further hindrance to the two of you.

The green-robed womans expression darkened slightly, and a hint of impatience crept into her voice as she said, Hmph, so you two are scared! Rest assured, Im not asking you to go after that man, what I want is for you to use your concealment abilities to see if there are any other unfamiliar people in the Small Asura Realm aside from that man. With your powers, that should be easily achievable, right?

The yellow-robed man was also quite uneasy, but he was greatly relieved to hear this. I see. In that case, there are no issues, well set off right away.

The silver-armored young man was still rather hesitant, but he also agreed in the end.

The green-robed woman gave a pleased nod, then said, Alright, you can go now. This realm isnt very big, so it shouldnt take you more than a few days to ascertain exactly how many outsiders have arrived here.

Well do our best, seniors, the two young men answered in unison, then departed from the hall.

As soon as they emerged outside, both of them turned to one another with wry smiles on their faces.

Lets go then. Weve already accepted the task, so well have to split up and complete it to the best of our abilities. If that man does have companions, then theyre most likely quite powerful as well, so make sure to be careful, Brother Wan, the silver-armored man said as he cupped his fist in a parting salute.

Thank you for the words of concern, Brother Wu Ying. I can summon tens of thousands of clones, so even if I encounter a Grand Ascension Stage being, theres a good chance Ill be able to escape. In contrast, your concealment ability is extremely profound, but you could be in some danger if you encounter someone with an ability that just so happens to suppress yours, the yellow-robed man replied with a salute as well.

The silver-armored man merely nodded with a smile before energy fluctuations erupted around his body, and he rose up into the air as a gust of fierce wind.

As for the yellow-robed man, his body abruptly scattered into specks of yellow light, and within each speck of light was a huge thumb-sized yellow hornet.

The entire hornet swarm was led by the largest hornet among their ranks, and they quickly flew away into the distant sky as well.

Meanwhile, the green-robed woman and black-robed man were discussing something else in the hall.

As a safety precaution, I still think its necessary for us to bring the Space Fish beings into the city. If we can do that, we wont have to worry about any mishaps arising, the black-robed man said in a cautious manner.

If it were that easy to control them, then I wouldve done so long ago. Unfortunately, the Space Fish beings can only reside long term in a place with celestial flames. On top of that, all of those Space Fish beings have sworn blood vows in the past, so if we try to abduct them by force, theyd sooner activate their bloodline power to commit suicide than compy with us, the green-robed woman replied.

Thats quite troublesome, but Ive recently mastered a new ability that can resolve this issue, albeit at some costs, the black-robed man said with furrowed brows. frewebovel.cm

The green-robed womans expression changed slightly upon hearing. Oh? What costs are you referring to, Fellow Daoist Yi?

Im referring to some members of the Space Fish Race, of course, the elderly man replied.

That wont do. There are very few Space Fish beings to begin with, and its taken me a massive amount of effort to increase their population to this point. If we sacrifice some of their numbers, when will we ever be able to complete our plan? Besides, theres barely anyone who knows the secret of the Space Fish Race aside from us, so they shouldnt attract much attention. If we were to try and bring them to the city, it would actually make things worse as that would alert others to the fact that these Space Fish beings are very important to us, the green-robed woman refused.

Thats true. If I hadnt unintentionally fallen into this realm and discovered the existence of the Space Fish Race and your Asura Spider Race, I wouldve never imagined that the ancient secret I had learned would be useful someday. Seeing as youre unwilling to take the risk, then so be it. Having said that, as a safety precaution, we should still send some people to keep an eye on the Celestial Flame Pond. If something were to go wrong, we would still have to step in, the black-robed man said.

I had intended to do the same thing, Fellow Daoist Yi, the green-robed woman agreed on this occasion.

After that, the two of them began to discuss which people to send to the Celestial Flame Pond…

Meanwhile, Han Li had already flown out of the mountain rage with his Thunderstorm Wings.

A rumbling thunderclap rang out, and Han Li reappeared tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mountain range.

He took a glance back in the direction of the mountain range, and after releasing his enormous spiritual sense through the area to ensure that he wasnt being followed, a cold smile appeared on his face.

He had already predicted that the people in the city would be reluctant to pursue him after witnessing just how powerful his spiritual sense was.

Through that earlier clash, he had ascertained the location of the Asura Spider lair and the approximate power level of the Asura Spiders, as well as greatly restricted the Asura Spiders.

After all, with such a formidable foe outside the city, the Asura Spiders definitely wouldnt dare to leave their lair in fear of Han Li infiltrating the city in their absence.

Having said that, there was nothing for Han Li to be concerned about even if they really had decided to pursue him.

Even in a one-on-two situation, Han Li was quite confident that he would be able to defeat his opponents.

Furthermore, prior to leaving the mountain range, he had set up certain measures that would immediately alert him if the Asura Spiders were to leave their lair.

Seeing as they hadnt decided to chase after him, this would be a surveillance measure to ensure that the Asura Spiders didnt move out of their lair or go into hiding.

Looking back, the Asura Spiders had been more powerful than he had anticipated.

It would still be very risky for him to take on the entire Asura Spider Race on his own, so he was planning to reunite with Mo Jianli and the others first.

Once the four of them joined forces, they should be powerful enough to contend with the Asura Spider Race.

With that in mind, Han Li didnt linger here any longer and sped toward another direction.

……

Two days later, Han Li was hovering high up in the air above a lake, watching a giant turtle and a two-headed black python clashing violently in the water down below.

The massive turtle resembled a small island with moss all over its shell, while the python was around 1,000 feet in length with hard black scales all over its body.

There was a golden plant floating on the surface of the lake not far away from the two of them, and half of the plant was submerged, while the top half was out in the open, bearing three red fruits that were giving off a rich fragrance.

There were around 30 to 40 fish beast carcasses of different sizes floating in the water around the golden plant, and the pungent beast blood had stained a large section of the lake red.

The turtle and the two-headed python were the only two beasts that remained in this area.

Han Li wasnt paying any attention to the golden plant and the three red fruits that it bore. Instead, he was appraising the pair of beasts down below with an intrigued expression.

The giant turtle had been tightly bound by the two-headed python, but a layer of blue runes suddenly erupted out of its body, and a rare smile appeared on Han Lis face as he murmured to himself, As expected, this beast really does possess a hint of the true spirit Xuan Wus bloodline, looks like Ill be making further progress with my 12 Awakening Transformations.

After that, Han Li didnt hesitate any longer, sweeping a sleeve downward to release a streak of azure light that reached the two beasts down below in a flash.

The streak of azure light revolved around the two-headed python, and its body was instantly sliced into seven or eight segments.

The turtle was horrified upon seeing this, and it immediately attempted to flee into the lake, but the streak of azure light also plunged into the lake lightning.

In the next instant, Han Li raised a hand in a nonchalant manner, and the water in the lake parted as the giant turtle emerged with an azure chain binding its body.
