Chapter 2171: Battle of the Wood Tribe

As expected, youre no ordinary Body Integration cultivator, its quite remarkable that you were able to teleport both of us here with formations that you created on the spot. However, do you intend to take on both of us on your own? the elderly man asked as he appraised the giant projection behind Han Li with a cautious expression.

The two of you are just a pair of clones, so why cant I take on both of you? Han Li chuckled in a nonchalant manner.

Hmph, youre going to pay the ultimate price for your arrogance! The elderly man flared up with rage upon hearing this, and he immediately made a hand seal, upon which a burst of crimson light erupted into the heavens behind him, then formed a crimson insect projection that was over 100 feet in length. freewebnovel.c

The projection was of a bright red color and extreme rotund, resembling a giant silkworm. However, its cavernous mouth was filled with sharp fangs, presenting a terrifying sight to behold.

As soon as the insect projection appeared, it opened its mouth to expel a burst of crimson light, which split up into countless crimson threads that swept directly toward Han Li.

The smile on Han Lis face faded, and the projection behind him raised its six arms in unison at his behest.

Countless golden fist projections instantly appeared in front of him, then transformed into balls of golden light to oppose the crimson threads.

A string of resounding booms rang out in rapid succession, and the golden fist projections exploded as soon as they came into contact with the crimson threads, but the threads were all kept at bay as a result.

The elderly man harrumphed coldly upon seeing this, and he quickly made a hand seal before pointing a finger at the crimson threads.

All of a sudden, the threads began to sway and twist as if they had come alive, then vanished into thin air in a flash.

In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted in front of Han Li, and countless crimson threads emerged before raining down upon him in a torrential downpour.

Han Lis expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and he immediately flew back by several tens of feet. At the same time, the azure sword lotuses beneath his feet swelled drastically to form several layers of azure light barriers before him.

As soon as the crimson threads flew into the azure sword barriers, they were instantly shredded.

Despite the sheer number of crimson threads, not even a single one of them was able to pierce through the light barriers, and they all disintegrated into clouds of blood mist.

Strangely enough, not only was the elderly man not disappointed to see this, a peculiar smile appeared on his face.

Right at this moment, Han Li suddenly cast his gaze toward the winged woman as if he had detected something.

A burst of blue light flashed through his eyes, and his expression darkened slightly as he quickly released his enormous spiritual sense all around himself. Immediately thereafter, one of his arms expanded drastically in size amid a string of loud cracks and pops, following which he threw a punch behind himself like lightning.

His fist instantly turned a shimmering golden color, and a burst of loud thunderclaps accompanied his punch.

At the same time, a burst of barely detectable spatial fluctuations erupted before his fist, following which a semi-transparent winged figure emerged in a wraith-like manner.

The golden fist hurtled directly toward the winged figures head in a merciless manner, and it looked as if this were a choreographed sequence where the winged figure had set itself up to be punched.

A hint of surprise appeared on the winged figures pale face upon seeing this, but it merely twisted around and took on a blurry quality.

The golden fist passed right through the winged figures head, but it was as if the fist had struck nothing but thin air.

Only then did the blurry humanoid figure disintegrate into nothingness.

Han Li immediately turned around before casting his gaze toward a nearby patch of space with his brows slightly furrowed.

Spatial fluctuations erupted from that patch of space, and the winged figure re-emerged before meeting Han Lis gaze with a cold one of her own.

The winged figure was none other than the winged devilish woman, but there was a completely identical figure standing right next to the elderly man at this moment.

This is the first time Ive seen a Body Integration Stage being with such exceptional illusionary and concealment abilities. If it werent for my spirit eyes and spiritual sense, I wouldve been fooled into thinking that you hadnt done anything, Han Li said in a calm voice as he suddenly pointed a finger toward the winged woman beside the elderly man.

A bolt of golden lightning shot forth from his fingertip and struck the winged womans body in a flash, upon which she instantly disintegrated into specks of white light, revealing the woman to have been nothing more than an illusion.

Both the elderly man and the true winged womans expressions changed slightly upon seeing this, and the latter said in a cold voice, You may have survived this attack, but what about the next one?

Han Li faltered slightly upon hearing this before chuckling in response, Oh? Are you planning to use the same attack against me again? Do you think itll still work?

I do indeed plan to use the same attack again.

A hint of killing intent appeared in the womans eyes as she abruptly flapped her wings, and her body vanished yet again.

In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted on the other side of Han Li, and she re-emerged before reaching toward him with a pair of hands that had transformed into sharp black claws.

Han Li immediately swept a sleeve through the air upon seeing this to release a streak of azure sword Qi to slice the winged womans body in half, but it merely vanished, revealing itself to be nothing more than another projection.

Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations erupted on the other side, and the winged woman appeared again in a wraith-like manner before unleashing countless claw projections toward Han Li.

In response, Han Li turned his head in an expressionless manner before opening his mouth to release a bolt of golden lightning that struck the winged woman, but it merely pierced through her body, revealing it to be yet another projection.

All of a sudden, the winged woman emerged above Han Lis head, then flapped her wings to send countless streaks of black light raining down from above…

Thus, with her incredible movement techniques, the winged woman was able to appear over and over again all around Han Li and unleash all types of attacks against him while her own body remained completely unharmed.

Interesting! You teleport away as soon as you complete an attack and only leave behind a projection to fool the enemy. This is a very intriguing tactic, but Im afraid its not going to be effective against me, Han Li mused in an intrigued voice as blue light flashed within his eyes. All of a sudden, the Provenance True Devil Projection behind him raised its six arms in unison, and a giant golden sword appeared in each of its hands before being slashed through the air to oppose all of the oncoming attacks.

The winged woman merely ignored this and continued to phase in and out of existence around Han Li. On top of that, she was growing faster and faster, and her attacks were also becoming more and more ferocious, it was as if Han Li were being attacked by multiple people at once.

However, Han Li remained as calm as ever, and after negotiating several waves of attacks, a cold smile appeared on his face as he flipped a hand over to summon a small black mountain amid a flash of black light.

However, before he had a chance to unleash the extreme mountain, his expression suddenly changed slightly as countless arcs of golden lightning erupted from his body to form a golden lightning robe.

Almost at the exact same moment, the faint blood mist wafting through the air around him formed countless crimson threads once again before hurtling directly toward Han Li.

If he hadnt detected what was happening in advance, he really wouldve fallen prey to this sneak attack.

As things currently were, he merely injected more magic power into his lightning robe, which swelled drastically in size to meet the oncoming crimson threads.

The golden lightning robe flashed erratically, and the crimson threads all exploded upon coming into contact with it.

Clouds of blood mist permeated through the air once again, and the mist quickly became extremely viscous with countless crimson runes flashing within it.

The elderly man was elated to see this, and he hurriedly yelled, Fairy Ling, hurry and use that ability!

Hmph, I wouldve done so even if you hadnt said anything, the winged woman replied in a cold voice as seven identical winged women suddenly appeared in the air around the blood mist.

As soon as these seven devilish women appeared, they rubbed their hands together in unison to produce a reddish-black devilish flag each before tossing them into the air above the blood mist.

The seven flags were only around 10 feet in length, but there was a bright red devilish formation engraved onto the surface of each flag, and they instantly transformed into seven reddish-black balls of light that began to rapidly revolve through the air.

Right at this moment, the seven devilish women began to chant an incantation while rapidly flicking incantation seals toward the devilish flags.

In the next instant, seven dull thumps rang out, and the flags abruptly vanished, replaced by seven reddish-black light formations that appeared above the blood mist.

At the center of each formation was a ball of crimson devilish flames.

Chapter 2170: Battle of the Wood Tribe

The six golden balls of light quickly combined as one in mid-air, then transformed into a giant golden vortex.

Initially, the vortex was only several tens of feet in size, but as it rapidly rotated, it swelled drastically in area, inflating to cover around an acre. Countless golden and silver runes surged out of the vortex alongside a burst of enormous force, and as soon as the two streaks of black light came into contact with the vortex, they were drawn into it by a burst of tremendous suction force before being destroyed.

The giant purple claw projection also faltered in the face of the obstruction posed by the countless golden and silver runes, and during this split-second delay, the golden vortex swelled once again by close to half its original size.

The air around the giant claw projection immediately tightened, and it was as if a massive mountain were crashing down upon it.

The claw projection began to tremor violently in the face of this astonishing force, and it appeared to be on the brink of destruction.

At the same time, the five devilish beings down below also felt the air around them tighten as they were immobilized by a burst of invisible power.

The five devilish beings faltered initially upon sensing this before immediately flaring up with rage.

Cries of fury instantly rang out as all types of light and devilish Qi erupted from the bodies of the five devilish beings to escape from the restrictive force, yet just as they were about to break free, a peculiar smile appeared on Han Lis face.

At the same time, he made a hand seal before abruptly flapping his wings, and an astonishing thunderclap rang out as countless arcs of silver lightning surged out of his wings in a frenzy, then converged to form a pair of massive balls of lightning.

Han Li then pointed a finger down at the green-robed elderly man and the winged woman, and the two balls of lightning instantly vanished amid a resounding boom.

In the next instant, a loud thunderclap erupted as the two balls of lightning emerged right in front of the elderly man and winged woman, and countless arcs of silver lightning sprang forth to form a pair of lightning formations.

The elderly man and winged woman were each situated at the center of one of the formations.

These are teleportation formations! The elderly mans expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and a burst of scorching purple flames erupted from his body, instantly nullifying the restrictive force acting upon him.

Immediately thereafter, his body blurred as he attempted to escape the lightning formation, but right at this moment, a cold harrumph rang out from above, and a burst of excruciating pain instantly speared through the elderly mans head.

Even though he was far more powerful than the average Body Integration cultivator, he still threw his hands over his own head involuntarily, and his body swayed as if he were on the verge of falling.

During this split-second delay, the lightning formation was activated, and the elderly man vanished amid a flash of lightning.

The winged woman had also been teleported away by the lightning formation beneath her feet, and a smile appeared on Han Lis face as he flapped his wings again, releasing countless arcs of lightning to form another shimmering silver lightning formation.

After that, he stepped into the formation and disappeared in a flash, following which the golden vortex disintegrated amid a dull thump.

Only then did the remaining three devilish beings escape from the restrictive force, and all of them wore expressions of shock and fury.

However, the petite womans expression quickly eased slightly as she said, They havent been teleported too far away, I can sense that theyre still within 10,000 kilometers of us. If we want to reunite with them, well be able to do so very quickly.

Thats good to hear. Its a good thing that you can directly communicate with our other fellow daoists using your secret technique. Otherwise, wed all be very concerned. The golden-armored mans expression also eased slightly upon hearing this.

The three-eyed devilish man was clearly also very relieved to hear this, yet right at this moment, an earth-shattering boom suddenly erupted nearby.

The golden light barrier that was facing the barrage of attacks suddenly exploded as a ball of golden light. Countless streaks of golden light shot forth at once, destroying all of the nearby attacks before piercing into the swarm of red hornets up above in a flash.

Countless hornets were instantly killed by the streaks of golden light with only just over 100 fortunate survivors, all of which immediately scattered in a panicked manner.

At the same time, a terrifying aura that struck one with a sense of asphyxiation erupted into the heavens, following which a mountainous golden crab emerged within the golden light.

Thats the holy crab from the Devilish Origin Sea! Its a Faux Immortal Puppet as powerful as a Sacred Ancestor, what is it doing here?!

The golden-armored man and petite woman were stunned by the sight of Daoist Xies true form, and they immediately began to retreat with horrified expressions as devilish Qi surged out of their bodies. It was clear that they were preparing to flee as soon as the giant golden crab made a move.

The three-eyed devilish being displayed no intention to flee, but he was also clearly quite astonished. However, a burst of radiance then flashed through his three eyes, upon which a peculiar look appeared on his face.

It seems that youve all seen me in the past. Ill make things simple for you, if the three of you wait here until Fellow Daoist Han concludes his battle against your companions, then I wont attack you for now. Otherwise, Ill be forced to step in, the giant golden crab said.

The petite woman and golden-armored mans faces paled upon hearing this, and they immediately faltered in their retreat.

Theres no need to be afraid, fellow daoists, this holy crabs aura is nowhere near what it had been back in the Devilish Origin Sea, and its currently not even at the Grand Ascension Stage. It seems that this Faux Immortal Puppets cultivation base has been severely debilitated for some reason, so the three of us should be able to face it, the three-eyed devilish being yelled as he abruptly patted a leather pouch hanging from his waist.

A burst of rainbow light swept forth from the opening of the pouch, following which three translucent jade-like skeletons appeared before him. Each of the skeletons held a white bone shield in one hand and a bone hammer in the other, and they were arranged in a row next to one another.

All of the skeletons were giving off mid-Body Integration Stage auras.

A hint of surprise appeared in the petite womans eyes, and she hurriedly asked, Are you sure theres something wrong with this golden crab?

Fellow Daoist Ming has cultivated the Treasured Dharmic Eyes, so Im sure his judgment is reliable. This holy crab wont let us escape anyway, so as opposed to resigning ourselves to being divided and conquered, we may as well join forces to challenge it, the golden-armored man said with a hint of killing intent in his eyes as he tightened his grip around the shaft of his ax.

I had heard rumors that the golden crab had been taken away by a human, I didnt think that I would encounter it here. Seeing as both of you are willing to oppose it, Ill do my best as well, the petite woman said after a brief hesitation.

Alright, even if we cant defeat this holy crab, well definitely be able to stall it for now. Once our fellow daoists take care of that human cultivator, the five of us will be able to join forces and destroy this Faux Immortal Puppet as well, the three-eyed devilish being said in a confident voice.

I certainly hope so, the petite woman replied with a wry smile.

The woman recalled that the human cultivator who had taken away the golden crab seemed to be quite powerful, but due to the fact that she had been situated in the Spirit Realm this entire time, the news that she had received from the holy realm was rather lacking in detail. As such, she merely regarded those rumors as hyperbole and didnt pay them any heed.

Alright, seeing as weve arrived at a consensus, lets attack together, the golden-armored man guffawed as he opened his mouth to expel a mouthful of blood essence onto his own ax.

The blood essence scattered into a cloud of blood mist that instantly vanished into the ax, and the golden-armored man began to chant something, upon which the giant ax quickly turned a bright red color.

The ax was then hurled up into the air, and it vanished into space as a streak of crimson light.

In the next instant, the sound of rumbling thunder and howling wind rang out as dark clouds converged from out of nowhere, making the entire sky pitch-black.

A thick silver snake flashed through the air, and a mountainous crimson ax could be seen within the dark clouds. It was several thousand feet in length with wisps of devilish Qi emanating from it, and it was giving off an extremely fearsome aura.

The three-eyed devilish being and the petite woman exchanged a glance upon seeing this before springing into action as well.

The three skeletons in front of the three-eyed devilish being blurred, following which they appeared around the giant golden crab in a triangular formation. They raised their bone shields in defense, then immediately swung their bone hammers through the air.

A burst of ghostly howls instantly erupted from the three hammers alongside fierce black Qi, and around a dozen giant tentacles were manifested before sweeping viciously toward the giant crab.

Meanwhile, the petite woman opened her mouth to release a shimmering silver gourd, and she pointed a finger at it, upon which a vast expanse of pink light surged forth to manifest a series of pink devilish crows.

These crows had golden beaks and silver eyes, creating a very peculiar sight to behold.

The petite woman let loose a sharp cry, and the flock of crows was instantly mobilized.

In response to all of this, the giant golden crab merely raised its pair of massive pincers, and countless arcs of silver lightning surged out of its body amid a loud thunderclap, forming a huge net of lightning around itself.

At the same time, lightning converged toward its pair of pincers, and a pair of massive balls of lightning that were as large as houses were created.

Thus, a fierce battle commenced between Daoist Xie and the three devils.

……

Close to 10,000 kilometers away, Han Li was standing in mid-air between a pair of mountains with a faint smile on his face. The golden projection behind him had already taken on a substantial form, and there were 72 small azure swords surging through the air beneath him, manifesting layers of azure lotus flowers that were carrying his body.

Directly across from him were the green-robed elderly man and winged woman, both of whom were glowering intently at him.

Chapter 2169: Battle of the Wood Tribe

A speck of golden light suddenly appeared on Daoist Xies fingertip, then instantly transformed into a golden ball of light with a diameter of around 10 feet.

The black ax projection struck the ball of light in a completely soundless manner, but in the next instant, the ball of light flashed violently a few times before self-detonating, unleashing bursts of golden shockwaves that swept toward the ax projection in retaliation.

Golden and black light intertwined, and the black ax projection was unable to advance any further.

A look of surprise appeared on the golden-armored mans face while a series of balls of golden light erupted out of thin air around Han Li, then shot forth in all directions as countless thin sword projections.

Spatial fluctuations erupted within these sword projections, and a pair of humanoid figures were forced to reveal themselves.

One of them had gusts of fierce winds revolving around his body to sweep away the oncoming sword projections, while the other was surrounded by arcs of lightning that eradicated all of the nearby sword projections with ease.

These two were none other than the green-robed elderly man and the three-eyed armored man.

The two of them were clearly very surprised to have been forced out of thin air, and they immediately turned toward Han Li with vicious expressions.

The two devilish women were also quite taken aback by this, and the two exchanged a surprised glance.

Hmph, youve got some backbone! Do you really think the two of you can contend with all five of us? Have you deluded yourselves into thinking that youre both Grand Ascension Stage beings? Do you have a death wish? the green-robed elderly man harrumphed coldly.

Im no Grand Ascension cultivator, but youre not true Sacred Ancestors, either, so what do I have to fear? Han Li replied with a calm smile.

What a big mouth you have! Fellow daoists, it looks like well have to take care of him before we can continue onward. Lets kill him together, then continue on our way, the elderly man said as a cold light flashed through his eyes.

Even though he didnt know why Han Li was so confident, a hint of peril had suddenly welled up in his heart, and he knew that he couldnt treat Han Li lightly.

Dont stick your noses into this battle! These two are my opponents, do you really think I cant take care of a pair of Body Integration Stage beings? the golden-armored man roared with a furious expression.

His four companions were just about to spring into action, but they couldnt help but falter slightly upon hearing this.

Brother Niu, have you forgotten the orders we received? The outcome of this battle hinges on our success, this is no time for you to be throwing a fit! If we lose this battle because of you, then youll have to answer to our masters, the elderly man threatened in a cold voice as his expression darkened slightly.

The golden-armored man shuddered upon hearing this before quickly forcing a smile onto his own face. Ah.. ahaha, forgive me for getting so worked up, Brother She, Im well aware of how important mission is. In that case, lets strike together, these two seem to have some tricks up their sleeves, so it would be best to kill them as quickly as possible.

Han Li was left feeling rather speechless at the sight of how quickly the golden-armored mans attitude had shifted, but the elderly man was completely unsurprised to see this. Instead, he issued an instruction in a completely expressionless manner, and the five devilish beings instantly surrounded Han Lis duo.

The five of them appeared to be moving slowly, but all of them had prepared vast amounts of magic power, and were no longer hiding their fearsome auras.

So they really are all Sacred Ancestor clones. Brother Xie, how many of them can you take on? Han Li asked as his eyes narrowed slightly.

I can kill two or trap three, Daoist Xie replied nonchalantly, as if he were merely talking about the weather.

Alright, then Ill leave three of them to you and take on the remaining two, Han Li replied without any hesitation.

No problem, Daoist Xie replied.

Hehe, you two sure dare to talk big! Take this! The golden-armored man was furious upon hearing what was being said, and a mountainous cow head projection instantly appeared behind him amid a flash of black light, following which he hoisted his massive black ax before swinging it viciously toward Han Li again.

This attack was different from the previous one in that on this occasion, thousands of ax projections were unleashed, all of which had black devilish Qi revolving around them and were directed straight toward Han Lis duo.

The golden-armored mans actions seemed to have ignited the killing intent in the hearts of the other devilish beings, and they all attacked at once.

A fierce look appeared on the elderly mans face as he swept his sleeves through the air, releasing two swarms of bright red poisonous hornets, each of which was around the size of a finger.

These hornets were all giving off a pungent rank odor, and they flew rapidly toward Han Li and Daoist Xie as soon as they were released. freeebnovel.com

Meanwhile, the three-eyed devilish being made a hand seal, and the third eye on his glabella sprang open, revealing red, yellow, and green light swirling within his pupils before three dazzling pillars of light were unleashed.

The pillars of light reached Daoist Xie in a soundless manner in a flash, and at the same time, the petite devilish woman rubbed her hands together before raising them in unison, releasing countless pink threads of light that converged to form a massive pink net before descending from above.

Accompanying the net was a faint fragrance, and upon inhaling this scent, even Han Li was feeling rather light-headed, which was rather alarming to him.

As for the final winged devilish woman, she flapped her wings gently, and specks of black light appeared behind her amid a burst of glacial Qi.

The woman harrumphed coldly as the specks of black light shot forth, transforming into black ice spikes mid-flight, taking up almost half of the entire sky with their massive numbers.

In the face of this string of attacks, a loud thunderclap erupted behind Han Li, and a pair of translucent wings appeared on his back amid a flash of lightning.

He then let loose a low cry as he abruptly flapped his wings, and he instantly vanished on the spot amid a loud thunderclap.

Thus, Daoist Xie was the only one left at the center of all of the attacks, but he merely disregarded the oncoming barrage as he took a step forward.

Golden light flashed from his body, following which a dense golden light barrier appeared around him, and the light barrier was immediately inundated by the pillars of light, ax projections, ice spikes, and the pink net of threads.

Resounding booms rang out relentlessly as dazzling lights intertwined, and the surrounding space warped violently as astonishing shockwaves swept forth in all directions.

The two swarms of red hornets didnt dare to approach the epicenter of the clashes and could only unleash streaks of crimson light from afar, further contributing to the assault.

However, the golden light barrier seemed to be an impregnable fortress, and it didnt waver in the slightest in the face of the ferocious attacks raining down upon it.

Meanwhile, Daoist Xie stood completely still within the golden light barrier, adopting a passive stance without displaying any intention of retaliating.

The five devilish beings were stunned to see this, and their expressions darkened significantly.

Right at this moment, an arc of silver light flashed up above alongside a burst of spatial fluctuations, and Han Li emerged amid a loud thunderclap.

He cast his gaze down below, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he made a hand seal to summon his Provenance True Devil Projection again.

As soon as the giant projection appeared, it thrust its six palms downward in unison, and a ball of golden light comprised of countless golden runes appeared in the palm of each of its hands.

A cold look appeared on the winged devilish womans face upon seeing this, and she flapped her wings viciously upward in unison.

Two streaks of that were over 100 feet in length instantly appeared before sweeping up toward Han Li, and at the same time, the elderly man raised a thin and wizened palm upward.

The palm extended out of his sleeve with purple light flashing incessantly around it, and a massive purple claw projection that was around an acre in size instantly appeared beneath Han Li before grabbing toward him with ferocious might.

These Sacred Ancestor clones were truly far more powerful than normal devilish lords, and devastating attacks were directed toward Han Li as soon as he emerged from his lightning teleportation.

The other three devilish lords hadnt attacked him, but that wasnt because they hadnt detected his presence, they were merely of the opinion that the elderly man and winged woman would be enough to take care of Han Li.

Han Li was quite elated to see this, and he immediately injected his spiritual power into his Provenance True Devil Projection in a frenzy.

Brilliant golden light immediately erupted from the projection, and the balls of light in its hands swelled drastically in size before being hurled downward in unison.

Chapter 2168: Battle of the Wood Tribe

A pair of dull thumps rang out, and in the instant the crimson-furred giants fists struck the extreme mountains, they instantly exploded into two clouds of blood mist.

The giants entire body shuddered violently as it was sent flying backward involuntarily by the force of the impact, but the pair of extreme mountains instantly appeared on either side of the giant before mercilessly converging toward the middle.

A massive rumbling boom erupted as the two extreme mountains crashed into one another, and a bloodcurdling howl rang out before instantly being cut off.

All of a sudden, four balls of light suddenly shot forth out of the blood mist between the pair of extreme mountains, then desperately fled in different directions.

Those were none other than the Nascent Souls of the four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings.

Its too late to try and get away now! Han Li harrumphed coldly as he thrust a giant furry palm toward the distance, and the space within a radius of around half a kilometer around the pair of extreme mountains warped violently from the force of his palm.

The four Nascent Souls didnt even get a chance to cry out before they disintegrated into specks of spiritual light, and a faint smile appeared on Han Lis face as he quickly reverted back to his human form.

The surrounding Wood Tribe beings were completely dumbfounded by what they had just seen, and Fei Xiaoxis reaction wasnt much different.

The powerful foe that was on the verge of overwhelming her had been slain by Han Li in what seemed like the blink of an eye, and this was simply incredible for someone as proud as she was.

However, just as she forced a smile onto her own face and was about to say something, a burst of buzzing suddenly rang out from within Han Lis sleeve.

Han Lis expression changed slightly as he immediately released a ball of green light out of his sleeve, which landed in his hand and revealed itself to be a formation plate.

He quickly pointed his finger at the formation plate a few times, following which he was immediately greeted by Cao Jis panicked voice.

Bad news, Brother Han, five devilish beings suspected to be Sacred Ancestor clones have been detected nearby, and theyre rapidly approaching our formation core. Ive already activated all of the restrictions to slow them down, but Im afraid it wont delay them for long. Have you taken care of the current set of enemies yet?

Fei Xiaoxi and the other Wood Tribe beings were greatly alarmed to hear this, and Han Lis expression also darkened slightly as he asked in a grim voice, Rest assured, Ive already taken care of the devilish beings here. Can you confirm that the approaching devilish beings are Sacred Ancestor clones and not just normal devilish lords?

Thats great to hear! Judging from the powers displayed by the five devilish beings, they should all be at the late-Body Integration Stage, aside from Sacred Ancestor clones, theres no way that there would be such a large cluster of such powerful devilish beings. This group should be different from the ones that attacked the third formation core, it seems that the devilish army really has deployed all of these clones to attack our three formation cores. Would you be able to stall them and buy me some time, Brother Han? Cao Ji asked in an urgent yet hopeful voice.

Do you have something up your sleeve, Fellow Daoist Cao? Han Li asked as his eyes narrowed slightly.

If you can stall those Sacred Ancestor clones for an hour, Ill be able to absorb enough energy from the formation to use a secret technique thatll allow me to combine as one with the backup tree and unleash a powerful restriction to temporarily trap those Sacred Ancestor clones, Cao Ji hurriedly replied.

If such a thing were possible, how was the third formation core destroyed so quickly? Han Li asked with a hint of surprise in his voice.

The Sacred Ancestor clones had arrived too quickly for the fellow daoists at the third formation core to use this secret technique, so they were overwhelmed before they could do anything, Cao Ji replied with a wry smile.

I see. Brother Xie and I will do our best to hold the Sacred Ancestor clones off for an hour, teleport us to an area near them, Han Li replied with a faint smile.

Cao Ji was greatly reinvigorated upon hearing this, and he was clearly very confident in the restriction. Alright, if you can buy me that much time, then Ill be able to protect this formation for sure.

Fairy Fei, Im sure you heard Fellow Daoist Caos message, go back to protect the formation core and leave the Sacred Ancestor clones to Brother Xie and myself. You can all go back with her as well, Han Li said to Fei Xiaoxi and the Wood Tribe beings as he stowed his formation plate away.

Fei Xiaoxi had only just recovered somewhat from her astonishment, and her expression changed a few times before she sighed, Alright, Ill leave everything to you and go back to protect Brother Cao then.

Before Han Li could say anything in response, she immediately made a hand seal and flew away as a streak of light, followed closely by the Wood Tribe beings who had accompanied her.

Han Li looked on at their departing figures with a calm expression, but a cold smile soon appeared on his face.

Five Sacred Ancestor clones, eh? Thatll be quite a handful. Im sure other Sacred Ancestor clones will also get here soon. Lets go, Brother Xie, if we can kill all of these Sacred Ancestor clones, then Im sure the morale of the devilish army will be severely dampened.

As soon as his voice trailed off, Han Li waved a hand toward Daoist Xie, who instantly vanished on the spot before arriving beside Han Li.

In the next instant, spatial fluctuations erupted all around them, and countless specks of light converged to form a colorful formation beneath the duo.

Han Li stood at the center of the formation and casually cast an incantation seal toward the edge, following which both of them were inundated by a flash of light and disappeared in a flash.

Shortly after their departure, the colorful light formation also disintegrated amid a dull thump.

……

High up in the air close to 100 kilometers away, five high-grade devilish beings in different attire had just laid waste to a restriction comprised of a sea of flames, and they were just about to advance onward when Han Li and Daoist Xie suddenly appeared before them amid a burst of spatial fluctuations.

The five devilish beings faltered slightly before cold smiles appeared on their faces, but they didnt attack right away, choosing to inspect Han Lis duo with intrigued expressions instead.

Han Li also appraised the five devilish beings in an expressionless manner to find that there were three men and two women.

One of the men was a heavily wrinkled green-robed elderly man with a pair of remarkably long eyes that were flashing with a cold light. The other two were both burly armored men with hideous features, giving off ferocious baleful auras.

As for the two women, both of them were extremely beautiful. One of them was quite petite and gave off an indescribable sense of allure, while the other was quite tall and slender with a cold expression, and a pair of black feathered wings on her back.

Two late-Body Integration Stage beings, eh? Whos going to take care of them? The green-robed elderly man was the first to break the silence.

Time is of the essence, with each passing moment, hundreds of our brethren are being killed, so leave these two to me and go on ahead, a golden-armored burly man with a pair of horns on his head replied before suddenly making a grabbing motion, upon which a giant black ax that was several tens of feet in length appeared in his grasp.

Alright, with your powers, you should be able to take care of those two with no issues. Lets keep going, the elderly man replied with a nonchalant nod, then vanished as a gentle breeze. freewenvel.com

The other armored man had an extra eye on his glabella, and he stomped a foot onto the ground and vanished into thin air as a thick bolt of lightning, while the two devilish women exchanged a smiling glance before preparing to leave as well.

Almost at the exact same moment, the ax-wielding burly man abruptly raised his giant ax before swinging it viciously toward Han Li and Daoist Xie.

An inky-black blade projection that was several hundred feet in length was instantly unleashed, and it hurtled directly toward Han Lis duo like lightning, leaving a trail of white spatial cracks in its wake.

None of you are getting away! A cold light flashed through Han Lis eyes as he made a hand seal, and a giant projection with three heads and six arms appeared behind him amid a flash of brilliant golden light.

The projection opened its six eyes, and a massive golden sword appeared in each of its hands before immediately being slashed through the air in unison.

Six golden sword projections instantly swept forth, then suddenly vanished into thin air in the blink of an eye.

At this point, the black ax projection had also arrived, and in response, Daoist Xie stepped forward in a nonchalant manner, positioning himself in front of Han Li before raising a finger and casually pointing it at the oncoming ax projection.

Chapter 2167: Battle of the Wood Tribe

Its up to you, Daoist Xie replied in a completely uncaring manner.

Han Li nodded before pointing a finger at the pair of devilish bodies, releasing two crimson balls of fire that quickly incinerated the bodies into ashes.

At the same time, he made a grabbing motion with his other hand to summon a green formation plate.

Just as Han Li was about to use the formation plate to teleport him and Daoist Xie out of this space, an earth-shattering boom suddenly rang out up above, and the entire space began to tremor violently as if it were about to collapse.

Han Li was quite startled by this and didnt dare to delay any longer as he immediately tossed his formation plate forward, which formed a light formation amid a flash of white light.

Immediately thereafter, he arrived at the center of the formation, followed closely by Daoist Xie.

Han Li cast an incantation seal, and the light formation released a burst of piercing white light alongside a loud buzzing sound, following which he and Daoist Xie instantly disappeared.

In the next instant, countless white rifts appeared in the surrounding space, and it really did collapse amid a string of loud cracks.

In the air above a nondescript mountain, spatial fluctuations erupted, and a white light formation appeared, containing both Han Li and Daoist Xie.

Han Li wore a dark expression, while Daoist Xies expression was as neutral as ever.

What happened? Why did the restriction suddenly fail? Han Li asked in a grim voice as the light formation reverted back into a green formation plate and returned to his hand.

Bad news, Brother Han, the holy tree tells me that the third formation core has been destroyed, which means that well no longer be able to use some of the restrictions in this formation, and the power of the other restrictions will also be weakened, Cao Jis grave voice replied from the formation plate.

Han Lis heart jolted upon hearing this, and he hurriedly asked, A formation core has already been destroyed? How is that possible? How did the devilish beings find it so quickly? Even if they managed to find it, how were they able to destroy it so quickly with other Body Integration Stage fellow daoists guarding it?

Hold on, Ive just received a message from a fallen fellow daoist at the third formation core sent before he passed away… This is bad! Six Sacred Ancestor clones had arrived together to kill all of the fellow daoists and destroy the third formation core. It seems that someone among the devilish army also has a very good understanding of the formation, and those Sacred Ancestor clones were able to track down the third formation core right away, Cao Ji replied in a furious voice.

If theres someone within the devilish army with a very good understanding of the formation, then our formation core and the first formation core will most likely be attacked soon by Sacred Ancestor clones as well. The defensive restrictions of the formation will be effective against normal devilish lords, but they wont be able to stop Sacred Ancestor clones for long. Fellow Daoist Cao, dont worry about conserving the formations energy and expand the restrictions sensory range by twofold, inform me as soon as you discover something. Ill take care of our opponents here quickly so I can face the incoming enemies, Han Li instructed in an implacable voice.

Alright, Ill do my best, Brother Han, Cao Ji agreed through gritted teeth after a brief hesitation.

After that, the light from the formation plate faded, and Han Li was silent for a moment before suddenly chuckling, Hehe, looks like this mission wont be as simple as it first seemed. Brother Xie, lets go and take care of the current set of enemies first.

Han Li then pointed a finger at the formation plate, and spatial fluctuations instantly began to surge through the air around them. A burst of five-colored light swept past, and he and Daoist Xie instantly vanished on the spot.

……

Elsewhere within the five-colored light, Fei Xiaoxi had already pulled out all the stops and was opposing a dozen or so crimson wyrms with several colorful balls of light.

These crimson wyrms all had bright crimson Qi that contained boundless blood essence swirling around their bodies, and they were extremely fierce and vicious.

At this point, the number of Wood Tribe beings hidden within the light restriction had been reduced to only nine, but they were still using their treasures to attack the red-furred giant with all their might.

However, all of those attacks were easily kept at bay by the revolving bands of crimson light, which would release crimson shockwaves in retaliation, knocking back the treasures and causing the protective restriction around the Wood Tribe beings to waver perilously.

The fallen Wood Tribe beings had clearly all been killed by the crimson shockwaves that had managed to scatter the five-colored light, and at this point, the two ape-headed monsters had already transformed into around a dozen projections that were unleashing countless claw projections toward the furred giant, but they didnt dare to get too close to it.

Even though Fei Xiaoxi was just barely managing to keep the giants attacks at bay, she had been completely forced onto the back foot.

As for the giant, it was swinging its huge arms through the air with black runes surging around its body, and the crimson wyrms that it was controlling were gradually becoming thicker and larger.

Fei Xiaoxi was still able to maintain a calm expression, but internally, she was starting to grow quite anxious. She had thought that with her cultivation base advantage and the dozen or so Spatial Tempering Stage beings assisting her, she would be able to trump her enemies special cultivation method, but she was quickly discovering that she had made a grave error.

The Boundless Blood Devilish Arts was extremely powerful, and the crimson wyrms it created were no less powerful than actual wyrms. Fei Xiaoxi had unleashed powerful abilities to kill a few of those wyrms, but they were easily replaced with a wave of the furred giants hand.

If she were to target the giant instead of those wyrms, then her attacks would simply be thwarted by the bands of crimson light, so under these circumstances, Fei Xiaoxi could only rely on the formations power to slowly wear down the giant, but the situation was gradually worsening for her.

Just as she was considering requesting assistance from Cao Ji, a rumbling boom suddenly rang out beside her, and two humanoid figures emerged amid a flash of five-colored light.

They were none other than Han Li and Daoist Xie.

Fei Xiaoxi was stunned by the sight of them.

Interesting! As I suspected, those four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings are manifested by the same being. To think that theyre able to force you onto the back foot, the devilish arts theyre cultivating must be quite extraordinary, Han Li said with a hint of surprise and intrigue in his eyes.

Brother Han, why are you here? Could it be that youve already taken care of your opponents? Fei Xiaoxi asked with a complex expression.

Indeed, the other enemies have already been eradicated, let me give you a hand here, Han Li replied with a nod, and before Fei Xiaoxi had a chance to say anything further, he made a hand seal and instantly transformed into a giant golden ape that was over 1,000 feet tall amid a flash of brilliant golden light.

As soon as the giant ape appeared, it made a grabbing motion with both hands, and two balls of light, one black and one azure, emerged in his palms before transforming into a pair of small mountains.

A thunderous roar rang out as Han Lis arms expanded even further, and he then hurled his pair of mountains viciously toward the crimson-furred giant.

A sharp screeching sound pierced through the heavens, and the pair of mountains blurred before transforming into a pair of balls of light that vanished in a flash.

The crimson-furred giant had become extremely panicked at the sight of Han Li and Daoist Xie, and it was already beginning to think of ways to escape.

However, before it had a chance to do anything, Han Li had already unleashed his attack, and the giant immediately attempted to extricate itself from its battle against Fei Xiaoxi, but it was already too late.

Crimson light flashed violently from the giants body, and a resounding boom suddenly rang out as the pair of extreme mountains re-emerged out of thin air before crashing directly toward it.

A look of alarm and fury immediately appeared on the giants face, and it didnt have time to summon its crimson wyrms back to itself, so it could only transform the band of crimson light around itself into a massive crimson shield that was several tens of feet tall and around a foot thick.

A pair of resounding booms rang out almost in unison, and the crimson shield was extremely powerful, but the pair of extreme mountains hurled with the extraordinary strength of the Giant Mountain Ape was far too overwhelming for it to withstand. rewebnol.cm

The first extreme mountain only faltered slightly upon striking the crimson shield, but countless thin cracks instantly appeared on the shield.

By the time the second extreme mountain crashed into the first one, the crimson shield was instantly shattered without being able to offer any further resistance.

Thus, the two extreme mountains hurtled directly toward the crimson-furred giant, whose face paled significantly as it let loose a thunderous roar.

All of a sudden, the black runes surging around its arms suddenly transformed into a pair of black gauntlets, and it lashed out viciously at the oncoming pair of extreme mountains.

At the same time, its body swelled drastically in size, and its aura was inflated by almost twofold as countless crimson threads erupted out of its fur in unison.

It was clear that it had unleashed a secret technique that was burning through its latent potential as a final roll of the dice.

Chapter 2166: Battle of the Wood Tribe

Even though these Wood Tribe beings werent using any special cultivation arts, they had fought together on many past occasions, so their attacks and teamwork were completely seamless.

The four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings instantly formed a circle with their backs facing one another, then each thrust a palm forward.

They didnt appear to be exerting much force with their palm strikes, but fierce crimson shockwaves instantly swept forth in all directions.

Black runes could be seen within the crimson shockwaves, and the odor of blood and gore suddenly became a lot more pungent.

As soon as the azure streaks of light and azure Qi came into contact with the crimson shockwaves, they were immediately immobilized before quickly melting away at a rate that was discernible to the naked eye.

The surrounding Wood Tribe beings expressions changed drastically upon seeing this, and they quickly switched to using all types of flying swords and treasures instead.

In the face of the oncoming treasures, the four devilish beings thrust forward their other palms like lightning, and the black runes within the crimson shockwaves instantly began to swell drastically in size.

A string of resounding booms rang out, and all of the treasures were repelled as if they had struck a giant mountain.

The four devilish beings harrumphed coldly as the crimson shockwaves continued to spread outward, while the black runes transformed into black vortexes of different sizes, targeting all of the surrounding Wood Tribe beings at once.

Look out! Dont take those attacks head-on! Fei Xiaoxi yelled as her expression changed drastically, and at the same time, she made a grabbing motion to summon a translucent dagger before slashing it downward without any hesitation.

A streak of white light that was over 1,000 feet in length was released by the dagger before slashing down toward the crimson shockwaves.

Even though these Wood Tribe beings werent her brethren, it would not be a good look for her if they were to all perish under her command.

After hearing Fei Xiaoxis words of warning, the Wood Tribe beings immediately shot back in retreat in an alarmed manner.

However, two of them were too slow to react and were swept up by the crimson shockwaves, upon which their protective treasures and spiritual light were instantly destroyed, while their bodies exploded amid two howls of anguish before being absorbed as energy by the crimson shockwaves.

The remaining Wood Tribe beings faces all paled upon seeing this.

Thankfully, the massive streak of light came crashing down at this moment, and the crimson shockwaves were split down the middle, rendering them unable to attack any further.

The remaining Wood Tribe beings hurriedly fled to the edges of the five-colored light with fearful looks on their faces.

The Boundless Blood Devilish Arts unleashed by the four devilish beings was far more powerful than they could imagine.

Looks like youre planning to step in. You shouldve done this from the beginning, but even so, the outcome will still be the same, youll be absorbed by us as energy just like everyone else! one of the devilish beings chortled with glee while all of them made hand seals in unison.

All of a sudden, piercing crimson light erupted out of their backs, instantly inundating all of their bodies.

Fei Xiaoxi immediately sent her small dagger flying through the air upon seeing this, and at the same time, she swept both sleeves through the air to release two balls of crimson light.

The translucent dagger instantly released countless arcs of lightning that formed a giant white blade that was over 100 feet in size before crashing down toward the crimson light with devastating force, sending countless wind blades and bolts of lightning raining down alongside it.

Meanwhile, the two balls of crimson light transformed into a pair of monsters with ape heads and wolf bodies.

Both of them had a pair of green bat wings on each of their backs, and their bodies were as red as blood. Their mouths were filled with sharp fangs, and each of them had a snake-like forked tongue. The ruthless and cunning looks in their red demonic eyes suggested that they possessed a high level of intelligence, and sharp claws suddenly shot out of their fingertips as they swooped down amid ferocious roars.

A furry fist suddenly emerged from the crimson light down below, striking the giant blade and sending it flying backward while the fist itself remained completely unscathed.

At the same time, bursts of thunderous crimson soundwaves swept upward, forcing the pair of oncoming monsters to slow down significantly in their descent.

Meanwhile, another giant crimson fist emerged off to the side amid a burst of spatial fluctuations, then lashed out like lightning to send the pair of monsters flying with a vicious blow.

The two monsters tumbled through the air for over 100 feet, and most of their bodies had been destroyed.

As for the two giant crimson fists, they merely vanished as if they had never even appeared in the first place.

Fei Xiaoxi drew a sharp breath upon seeing this, and she immediately withdrew the giant blade, which reverted back into a small dagger as it flew back toward her. At the same time, she pointed a finger at the pair of monsters, and their severely damaged bodies instantly fully regenerated.

The pair of monsters snarled at the crimson light down below, but didnt dare to swoop down again.

In the next instant, the crimson light suddenly shattered like a piece of chinaware, revealing a crimson-furred giant that was over 100 feet tall.

The giant had a pair of green eyes, and as it clenched its hands into fists, a string of loud cracks and pops instantly rang out from its body. At the same time, it released an aura that was no less fearsome than that of a late-Body Integration Stage being.

Simultaneously, a band of thick crimson light appeared before revolving around its body, making it impossible for anyone to approach the giant.

Fei Xiaoxis expression darkened significantly upon seeing this, and she knew that she had encountered a truly powerful enemy. She immediately issued an instruction toward the surrounding Wood Tribe beings before flipping a hand over to produce a green formation flag, which she swept through the air toward the crimson giant.

The five-colored light in the surrounding area instantly began to surge as bursts of invisible restrictive fluctuations filled the entire space.

The Wood Tribe beings were immediately forced to plummet downward as if there were a burst of power dragging them down, but they all calmly chanted an incantation, and green light flashed over their bodies, following which everything immediately returned to normal.

In contrast, the crimson giant merely swayed slightly before steadying itself in mid-air.

However, the restriction activated by Fei Xiaoxi had clearly enraged it, and it let loose a furious roar before lashing out with one of its massive fists.

A burst of crimson shockwaves that was several times more viscous than the previous ones surged forth before transforming into a crimson wyrm that pounced directly toward Fei Xiaoxi.

At the same time, the band of crimson light revolving around the giants body released rings of crimson mist that swept toward the surrounding Wood Tribe beings.

Fei Xiaoxi wore a cold expression as she abruptly flapped her wings, upon which countless golden and silver runes emerged before transforming into small golden and silver swords that rained down from above.

Immediately thereafter, she opened her mouth to release a ball of white light, within which was a small pagoda that quickly swelled to several hundred feet tall before crashing down with astonishing might.

The two ape-headed monsters also let loose long howls before transforming into a pair of balls of crimson light that descended from above, one from the left and one from the right.

At the same time, the surrounding Wood Tribe beings all retreated into the five-colored light, using the restriction to ward off the crimson shockwaves while releasing treasures to attack the crimson giant.

……

All of a sudden, Han Li vanished on the spot within the five-colored light.

In the next instant, he re-emerged within a vast grey space, and his expression changed slightly as he inspected his surroundings.

Daoist Xie was hovering in mid-air up ahead with a pair of bodies that had been completely charred black suspended in the air nearby.

The ground down below had been severely ravaged, clearly indicating that a fierce battle had just taken place.

Its truly incredible that you were able to take care of those two devilish lords so quickly, Brother Xie, Han Li praised with a faint smile.

Those two decided to use lightning against me, so they naturally werent going to last very long, Daoist Xie replied in an expressionless manner.

Alright, now that the three devilish lords have been taken care of, lets go lend Fellow Daoist Fei a hand, those four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings are no ordinary beings, Han Li said.

Chapter 2165: Battle of the Wood Tribe

A ferocious look flashed through the burly devilish lords eyes, and he immediately tossed his copper mirror up into the air before expelling a mouthful of blood essence, which transformed into a cloud of blood mist that seeped into the mirror. freeebnovl.cm

In the next instant, a loud buzzing sound rang out from the mirror, and a pavilion-sized ghostly face emerged from within it. The sinister ghostly face hovered in mid-air with its eyes closed, and the burly devilish lord quickly pointed at it, following which it immediately opened its eyes, which were filled with dazzling black light.

At the same time, it let loose a bone-chilling cackle before opening its mouth to blast forth a burst of ferocious black flames, catching the streak of azure light completely off guard and engulfing it in the blink of an eye.

What a fool! Even with a protective Divine Spirit Treasure, one wouldnt be able to last long within my Infernal Devilish Flames, the burly devilish lord chortled while controlling the ghostly face.

The inky-black devilish flames converged into a ball at his behest, then rose up as a thick pillar of flames that trapped the streak of azure light firmly within it.

Is that so? Perhaps other people wouldnt be able to withstand these flames for long, but for me, breaking free is an easy task.

A calm male voice rang out from within the pillar of black flames, following which the pleasant cry of a bird sounded. A ball of silver light then erupted forth, completely disregarding the devilish flames and rising up to the top of the fiery pillar before transforming into a giant silver bird that was several hundred feet in length.

The bird was shimmering with silver light, and as it spread its wings, all of its feathers burst into flames, causing the air temperature to spike dramatically while the entire sky turned a shade of bright red.

From a distance, it looked as if a silver sun had risen up above the black pillar of flames.

The burly devilish lords heart jolted upon seeing this, and he immediately tried to make another hand seal, but it was already too late.

The massive silver bird raised its head and let loose a long cry, then opened its beak to expel a burst of suction force.

The pillar of flames down below instantly began to surge into the silver birds beak as countless black threads, and within the span of just a few breaths, the fiery pillar had become extremely feeble, revealing an azure humanoid figure within it.

The humanoid figure didnt appear to be using any treasures, and his protective spiritual light alone was enough to keep the remaining black devilish flames at bay.

The burly devilish lord drew a sharp breath upon seeing this, and he almost couldnt believe his own eyes.

He was more aware than anyone of how powerful his own Infernal Devilish Flames were, and the fact that this man was able to keep it at bay with his protective spiritual light alone instantly made the devilish lord think that he was perhaps facing a Grand Ascension Stage being.

This thought immediately made him turn extremely pale and sent cold sweat pouring down his back.

All of a sudden, he sprang up before pointing a finger at the ghostly face overhead, then roared the word explode!

Immediately thereafter, his arms detached themselves from his body before instantly exploding into two clouds of blood mist that enveloped him in a flash.

At the same time, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the giant ghostly face, and it exploded amid a flash of black light, sending countless thin black threads erupting forth in a frenzy to form a gargantuan net that descended toward Han Li.

Han Lis eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he immediately thrusted a palm upward while waving his other sleeve nonchalantly toward the distance.

A massive golden hand projection that was around an acre in size instantly appeared before grabbing toward the giant net, and the entire net of black threads was torn apart with ease.

Meanwhile, a loud thunderclap erupted out of Han Lis sleeve, and a bolt of golden lightning shot forth before vanishing in a flash.

In the next instant, the bolt of golden lightning reappeared right above the burly devilish lord, who was about to fly away in retreat as a streak of crimson light, then came crashing down upon him at an incredible speed.

The golden lightning instantly eradicated the blood mist above his head, then hurtled down toward him with unstoppable force.

The burly devilish lord hurriedly shot back in retreat upon seeing this, then opened his mouth to release a shimmering yellow flying dagger, which flew directly toward the oncoming bolt of golden lightning.

The two clashed, and the golden lightning vanished in a flash, but the yellow dagger also became completely dull and devoid of luster before falling out of the heavens like a piece of scrap metal.

With Han Lis current powers, his Divine Devilbane Lightning had become extremely potent against devilish treasures.

As a result of the damage sustained by the flying dagger, the burly devilish lords face paled as he threw up a mouthful of blood. However, black light suddenly erupted from his body as he continued to retreat, completely disregarding the falling dagger.

I commend your decisiveness, but Im afraid that wont be enough for you to escape me, Han Li said in an expressionless manner before taking a large stride forward.

Before he had even completed his stride, a loud thunderclap rang out beneath him, and countless arcs of silver lightning surged out of the sole of his foot before instantly forming a silver lightning formation that was around 10 feet in size.

As soon as he stepped into the formation, he vanished without a trace, then appeared several thousand feet away in the blink of an eye.

The burly devilish lord had only just heaved a sigh of relief when a thunderclap suddenly rang out in front of him, following which a silver lightning formation appeared without any warning.

Almost at the exact same moment, Han Li stepped out of the center of the formation.

The burly devilish lord was greatly alarmed to see this, and he immediately tried to flee toward another direction. However, a giant projection with three heads and six arms suddenly emerged behind Han Li, and it opened its six eyes before swinging its six arms through the air in unison as soon as it appeared.

Golden light flashed, and six giant golden swords, each of which was around 10 feet in length, appeared in its hands before being slashed toward the distance.

Six streaks of golden sword Qi were unleashed before forming a golden thread that swept through the burly devilish lords body in a flash.

A howl of anguish rang out as the devilish lords protective treasures and body were instantly sliced in half, upon which a panicked black Nascent Soul instantly emerged within a ball of yellow light.

However, before the Nascent Soul had a chance to get away, the six streaks of sword Qi swept back in unison to erase it off the face of this realm.

A faint smile appeared on Han Lis face upon seeing this, and the golden projection behind him silently disappeared.

It had only taken him an instant to kill this mid-Body Integration Stage devilish lord from the moment that the latter had self-detonated his treasure and arms to escape.

With the array of powerful treasures up his sleeve, this devilish lord was no less powerful than the average late-Body Integration Stage being, but he was obviously no match for Han Li.

……

Within a peculiar space enshrouded within five-colored light, four giant ape-like devilish beings were hovering in mid-air with crimson light flashing from their furry bodies, while a faint odor of blood and gore wafted through the air.

They were surrounded by a dozen or so green-skinned Wood Tribe beings, all of whom wore grim expressions.

In the air above them was a woman wearing a cold expression with her arms crossed. There was a pair of crimson wings spread open on her back, and there were golden and silver runes flashing all over the wings.

The woman was none other than Fei Xiaoxi of the Yaksha Race, and even she was appraising the four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings with a wary look in her eyes.

I had thought that the Boundless Blood Devilish Arts had become defunct in the Elder Devil Realm, but who wouldve thought that I would encounter it today? Looks like I was right to have come here to face the four of you in person, Fei Xiaoxi said in a cold voice.

Seeing as you recognize our Boundless Blood Devilish Arts, then hurry up and get these fools to stand down. If they try to battle us, theyll only be offering up their blood essence to us, one of the four devilish beings replied.

Hehe, if you were all at the Body Integration Stage, even the early-Body Integration Stage, I would flee the scene with them right away, but youre only at the Spatial Tempering Stage, even with the Boundless Blood Devilish Arts, youre no match for all of us. Attack! As soon as an opportunity arises, Ill strike to kill all four of them, Fei Xiaoxi instructed with a cold smile.

The Wood Tribe beings were very wary toward the four devilish beings, but they still sprang into action without any hesitation at Fei Xiaoxis behest.

Some of the Wood Tribe beings raised both hands up into the air to release countless streaks of azure light, while others opened their mouths to expel bursts of viscous azure Qi, which transformed into ropes swept toward the four devilish beings.

Chapter 2164: Battle of the Wood Tribe

Almost at the exact same moment, Cao Ji and Fei Xiaoxi also arrived on the scene as streaks of light.

Brother Han, it looks like the spirit tree is informing us that there are people approaching the mountain range, do you think theyre Sacred Ancestor clones? Cao Ji hurriedly asked as soon as he arrived.

There are quite a few Sacred Ancestor clones in the devilish army, but their numbers are completely insignificant considering the scale of this formation, so I think its more likely that theyll be ordinary devilish lords, Fei Xiaoxi said as she arrived beside Han Li.

The formation core will be able to show us what were dealing with here, Han Li said in a calm manner as he made a hand seal before releasing a streak of azure light toward the giant tree.

The massive tree shuddered slightly, following which the formation down below was activated, releasing around a dozen pillars of light at once. These pillars of light then converged to form an azure ball of light before Han Lis trio, and Han Li immediately flicked a string of incantation seals of different colors into it.

The ball of light revolved on the spot before transforming into an azure crystal ball with a surface that was as smooth as a mirror, but comprised of dozens of rhomboid faces.

Each face was depicting an image of one area of the mountain range, and Han li opened his mouth to expel a ball of pure spiritual Qi into the crystal ball before gently pointing a finger at it.

The facets of the crystal ball instantly blurred in unison as if countless images were flashing rapidly through them, making them impossible to glean with the naked eye.

However, Han Li and the others were all extremely powerful cultivators, so they were able to assess the images flashing over the different facets.

After the span of only a few breaths, Han Li suddenly let loose a low cry before abruptly sweeping a sleeve toward the crystal ball, upon which it slowly ceased in its rotation.

At the same time, all of the images on the crystal ball quickly vanished with the exception of a single image, which instantly took up the entire surface area of the crystal ball.

The image depicted was of a certain area on the outskirts of the mountain range, where three devilish lords and four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings were hovering in mid-air.

They had clearly activated the restriction nearby, and were being forced to contend with countless bolts of ferocious lightning.

One of them was a particularly tall and broad devilish being wielding a small copper mirror, from within which one pillar of black light after another was being unleashed, easily nullifying most of the oncoming bolts of lightning. frewebnol.com

The remaining bolts of lightning naturally posed no threat to the other devilish beings, who were able to keep them at bay with relative ease.

There are three devilish lords, two of which are at the mid-Body Integration Stage, while the other is at the late-Body Integration Stage. The remaining four are only at the Spatial Tempering Stage, but their auras are very peculiar, so it seems that theyre no ordinary devilish beings, Fei Xiaoxi observed.

Those four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings are similar in appearance and are using the same devilish arts, so theyre most likely from the same race and adept in using combination techniques. How do you think we should handle these devilish beings, fellow daoists? Ordinary restrictions most likely wont be able to trap them, Han Li said with a calm smile.

If we were situated elsewhere, we would be able to activate the most powerful restrictions in the formation to kill that group of devilish beings, but the formation core is currently accumulating energy for the entire formation, so the restrictions at our disposal are quite limited. As such, well have to take care of these devilish beings ourselves, Cao Ji said after a brief moment of contemplation.

The three of us should be able to keep the three devilish lords at bay, well just leave the four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings to the dozen or so Spatial Tempering Stage beings under our command, Fei Xiaoxi said in an expressionless manner.

Those four devilish beings are all at the pinnacle of the late-Spatial Tempering Stage, and their powers will undoubtedly be bolstered even further by their combination techniques. In contrast, our subordinates are all average Spatial Tempering Stage beings, so they may not be a match for those four devils.

Even so, theyll have the formation to assist them. They wont be able to use the most powerful restrictions, but the other restrictions are quite useful as well, surely thatll be enough, Fei Xiaoxi countered in a confident manner.

Cao Ji considered this for a moment before nodding in agreement. In that case, there shouldnt be any issues. What do you think, Brother Han?

Even with the formation to assist them, our subordinates wont be able to stop those four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings. If Im not mistaken, those four devils should have been manifested by the same devilish being. If they were to combine as one, the resulting enemy will definitely be extremely powerful, so itd be best for you to take them on yourself, Fairy Fei. Also, the formation core needs to be guarded at all times in case of sneak attacks, so Fellow Daoist Cao Ji will stay behind. As for those three devilish lords, just leave them to me, Han Li said.

What? Are you serious, Brother Han? Fei Xiao was very bewildered to hear this.

Rest assured, Ill be more than capable of looking after myself. Brother Xie, show yourself, Han Li said with a smile.

As soon as his voice trailed off, a white figure emerged silently beside Han Li amid a burst of spatial fluctuations, and the aura he was releasing was no less powerful than Han Lis, it was none other than Daoist Xie.

A late-Body Integration Stage being?

Isnt that…

Cao Ji and Fei Xiao were both stunned at the sight of Daoist Xie.

Im sure there arent any further issues now, right, fellow daoists? Han Li chuckled in a nonchalant manner.

Cao Ji was the first to return to his senses, and he immediately cupped his fist in a salute as a wide smile appeared on his face. Of course, I didnt think that our seniors had arranged for such a powerful being to accompany us in secret.

I have no objections, either, Fei Xiaoxi said with a peculiar look on her face.

It was clear that the two of them had arrived at the conclusion that Daoist Xie had been sent to accompany Han Li by the Grand Ascension Stage seniors of the united army.

As for Daoist Xie himself, he merely stood in complete silence beside Han Li.

Han Li offered no explanation for Daoist Xies behavior and shifted his gaze back to the crystal ball. At this point, the seven devilish beings had already eradicated the nearby bolts of lightning and were slowly flying toward the center of the mountain range.

Fellow Daoist Cao, activate the Confounding Five Mountains Restriction to separate these devilish beings, well proceed according to our original plan, Han Li instructed.

Go on ahead, Brother Han, Ill activate the restriction right away, Cao Ji immediately agreed before flying over to the center of the formation in front of the giant tree. Immediately thereafter, he sat down with his eyes closed and made a hand seal while chanting an incantation.

There were over 100 Wood Tribe beings seated around the formation, and they also began to make hand seals to assist him.

Thus, Han Lis trio departed as three streaks of light toward the location where the devilish beings were situated.

Almost at the exact same moment, around a dozen more streaks of light shot forth in hot pursuit behind the trio, these were none other than the dozen or so Spatial Tempering Stage guards who had received Han Lis voice transmission earlier.

……

The seven devilish beings were slowly advancing through the mountain range, and they were being led by the burly devilish lord.

Instead of stowing his copper mirror away, the devilish lord was holding it in front of his chest, occasionally directing it toward the landscape up ahead, it seemed that the mirror had the ability to identify restrictions.

Everyone, look out! the burly devilish lord suddenly yelled in alarm as a ball of piercing silver light suddenly erupted on the surface of the mirror.

The accompanying devilish beings expressions changed drastically upon hearing this, and they quickly released their respective devilish treasures.

However, before they had a chance to do anything, a burst of bright green light suddenly erupted from the forest down below, following which a massive light formation with a diameter of around half a kilometer emerged, releasing a vast expanse of five-colored light as it appeared.

Look out!

The devilish beings were instantly swept up by the five-colored light amid cries of alarm, following which all of them were immediately enveloped by countless azure runes.

Within the five-colored light, the burly devilish lord hurriedly raised his copper mirror above his head to release a pillar of black light.

Meanwhile, the four Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings let loose a loud cry in unison as piercing crimson light began to radiate from their bodies at the same time.

A resounding boom rang out as the pillar of black light pierced through the five-colored light in a flash, following which the burly devilish lord stumbled out into the open.

However, the other devilish beings all instantly vanished within the five-colored light, leaving only the devilish lord behind by himself.

The devilish lord cast his gaze toward the crumbling light formation, and let loose an enraged roar. Thats the Confounding Five Mountains Formation!

I didnt think that youd be so knowledgeable in the art of formations, it seems that it wasnt a fluke that you managed to make it this far. A calm male voice rang out in the distance in response, following which a streak of azure light appeared on the horizon.

Chapter 2163: Battle of the Wood Tribe

Most of the devilish army was trapped in the formation, so the remnants were naturally severely outnumbered by the united army. Even though the devilish beings organized themselves in retaliation, they were overwhelmed in less than half a day and were forced to begin a retreat.

The united army naturally wasnt willing to let them escape, and the tables were completely turned with the devilish army fleeing the scene, while the united army gave chase in hot pursuit.

……

Almost at the exact same moment that the devilish army began to retreat, a ball of piercing white light suddenly appeared on the waist of Yuan Cha, who was engaged in a battle with Patriarch Ao Xiao.

Immediately thereafter, a string of black runes surged forth before forming several lines of text before her eyes.

Yuan Cha glanced at the message in a nonchalant manner, but her expression immediately changed drastically before she rose up into the air as a streak of black light, then vanished through the ceiling of the secret chamber she was situated in.

Moments later, the streak of black light emerged from the swamp, then rose up to an altitude of tens of thousands of feet before flying toward the Wood Tribes territory.

However, right at this moment, a male voice rang out from even higher above.

Where are you going, Fellow Daoist Yuan Cha?

As soon as the voice trailed off, a thunderclap suddenly rang out up above, and a bolt of silver lightning that was over 1,000 feet in length came crashing down.

You dare to stop me?

Yuan Cha was in a hurry to leave, but in the face of such a powerful attack, she had no choice but to stop and raise a hand upward in retaliation.

A streak of black sword Qi that was also over 1,000 feet in length was unleashed, and both the bolt of lightning and streak of sword Qi vanished following a resounding clash.

Our battle still hasnt been decided, so I naturally cant allow you to leave.

Spatial fluctuations erupted up above, and a ball of lightning appeared in a soundless manner. Within the ball of lightning was none other than the smiling Patriarch Ao Xiao.

Hmph, looks like you already planned everything in advance to stall the three of us, but dont celebrate too early, well see if you have what it takes to stop me! Yuan Cha harrumphed with an enraged expression before conjuring up around a dozen identical projections, all of which fled toward different directions at the same time.

Patriarch Ao Xiaos expression darkened upon seeing this, and he let loose a loud cry before pointing a finger upward. Restrict!

All of a sudden, the air within a radius of five kilometers tremored as the worlds origin Qi surged, following which a massive white jade bowl came crashing down from above like a gigantic dome.

Five-colored light flashed within the bowl alongside countless huge runes, and a burst of enormous force came surging out of it, causing even the air to congeal.

The ground below the massive bowl also tremored violently before sinking down by several tens of feet, and the dozen or so Yuan Cha projections were caught completely off guard, reducing them to less than a tenth of their original speed.

At the same time, Patriarch Ao Xiao laid a hand onto the top of his own head, releasing around a dozen streaks of white light, each of which shot forth toward one of the Yuan Cha projections.

The streaks of white light transformed into snowy white two-headed giant wolves mid-flight and pounced toward the projections without any hesitation.

All of the Yuan Cha projections were naturally quite enraged by this, and they all summoned devilish treasures in retaliation.

Thus, the battle between Patriarch Ao Xiao and Sacred Ancestor Yuan Cha commenced once again, but it had become far more fierce than it had originally been.

However, the two of them were quite evenly matched, so a decisive outcome clearly wouldnt be reached anytime soon.

……

After receiving news of the dire situation that the devilish army was in, the other two Sacred Ancestors had also tried to escape, but they had been stopped by Mo Jianli and the Grand Ascension Stage being from the Yaksha Race as well.

Meanwhile, during the interval where the formation was unable to unleash any further attacks, the high-grade devilish beings and Sacred Ancestor clones in the formation had departed from the rest of the devilish army.

They had to take this opportunity to break the formation. Otherwise, once it recovered its energy and began to unleash more waves of attacks, even more casualties would result.

On top of that, the fewer devilish beings that remained, the better the formation would be able to focus its attacks, thereby making them more powerful. fгeewebnovl.com

Once all of the other devilish beings were eradicated, even the high-grade devilish beings werent confident in their ability to survive in the formation.

As such, even though they knew that it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to break the formation, they had no choice but to venture deep into the formation to find its cores.

Among these high-grade devilish beings was a group of around a dozen Spatial Tempering Stage devilish beings that were led by a cow-headed devilish lord. They were flying slowly over the forest while constantly appraising their surroundings in a careful manner.

Even though the formation was no longer actively attacking them, it was still filled with all types of defensive restrictions, and activating those restrictions could easily spell their doom.

On top of that, their spiritual sense was hampered by the formation, reducing their sensory range to less than 2,000 feet, so they naturally had to proceed with caution.

After flying for close to 100 kilometers, no mishaps had taken place, and all of the devilish beings in the group had let down their guard slightly.

Right as they were flying over a small hill, a streak of light suddenly appeared before the devilish scout who was leading the way from the front, and before he had a chance to do anything, the streak of light had already decapitated him.

A black Nascent Soul that was enveloped within a ball of grey Qi shot forth out of his headless body before retreating in a panicked frenzy, only to be completely destroyed by the same streak of light amid a cry of anguish.

The other devilish beings were extremely alarmed by this, and they all summoned defensive devilish treasures.

Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations erupted through the nearby area, and over 100 identical streaks of light emerged out of thin air.

The devilish lord focused his gaze on the streaks of light and identified them to be yellow wooden swords, each of which was around a foot in length, and they were giving off glacial Qi that was quite alarming even to him.

Be careful! These wooden swords possess power comparable to an all-out attack from a Spatial Tempering Stage being! the devilish lord yelled as he injected his magic power into an umbrella-shaped protective treasure before him.

The green devilish treasure immediately lit up, transforming into a green projection that enveloped his body.

In the next instant, the streaks of glacial light converged from all directions, and the other devilish beings also injected their magic power into their respective treasures with all their might.

Streaks of sword Qi swept through the air, and a string of anguished cries rang out in quick succession.

After the span of just a few breaths, all of the streaks of glacial light had vanished, and all of the high-grade devilish beings had disappeared aside from a single lonesome figure.

The cow-headed devilish lords face was currently very pale, and he suddenly threw up several mouthfuls of blood in succession.

The umbrella projection around him had also become completely dull and devoid of luster.

A wry smile appeared on the devilish lords face as he produced a medicinal vial before tipping out a longan-sized pill, then waved a hand through the air, upon which the green projection reverted back into a small green umbrella that landed in his hand.

A few cracks had appeared on the surface of the devilish treasure.

The devilish lord inspected his surroundings with a conflicted expression before finally heaving a faint sigh, then stowed his treasure away before flying slowly toward another direction.

On another nearby mountain range, three devilish lords were flying toward the center of the mountain range while warding off countless oncoming blades of wind with their devilish treasures.

All of a sudden, the worlds origin Qi up above tremored, and a golden light formation that was around an acre in size appeared before sending several pillars of golden light crashing down from above.

The three devilish lords were quite alarmed to see this, and they all sent their devilish treasures flying upward, where they converged to form a massive taichi diagram in the air above.

Several resounding booms rang out as the pillars of light quickly destroyed the taichi diagram before inundating the three devilish lords.

Shortly thereafter, the golden light vanished, and the three devilish lords were also nowhere to be seen.

……

A burst of buzzing suddenly rang out from the massive tree that Han Li was seated under, countless five-colored runes surged out of the tree trunk amid a flash of green light.

Han Li slowly opened his eyes, and murmured to himself, Some devilish beings have finally arrived, and they seem to be quite powerful.

Chapter 2162: Battle of the Wood Tribe

At the center of this group was a black devilish ark that was several times larger than the flying carriages around it. Most of the ark was concealed within devilish Qi, but there were some devilish beings that were visible on the ark, and their auras suggested that they were far more powerful than the devilish beings on the flying carriages.

All of a sudden, an elderly voice rang out from the giant ark. How long until we reach Cottonwood City? The united armys three Grand Ascension Stage beings are all absent, and I had to expend a massive price to return to the Spirit Realm without being detected by the Wood Tribe, so failure is not an option here!

At our current speed, well get to Cottonwood City in around half a month, Master Tun Tian, an extremely respectful male voice replied.

Thats too slow! Yuan Cha and the others may not be able to buy me that much time. Speed up and make sure we get to Cottonwood City within 10 days. The holy tree is far more important to the Wood Tribe than you can imagine, and if we destroy it, the Wood Tribe wont be able to protect their remaining territory any longer, the elderly voice commanded.

But Master Tun Tian, this is already the fastest speed that the Crescent Moon Flying Carriages can travel at while remaining hidden. If we go any faster, we might not be able to avoid detection from the Wood Tribe, the male voice replied hesitantly.

Thats alright, the united army is already being forced into retreat, so its gathering all of its forces. As long as we exercise some caution, there wont be any issues. Besides, even if we encounter any Wood Tribe spies, Ill make sure they dont manage to escape alive, the elderly voice chuckled coldly.

In that case, Ill relay your orders to everyone right away, Master Tun Tian, the male voice replied in an elated manner.

Shortly thereafter, the devilish ark and all of the flying carriages tremored slightly before accelerating drastically, but at the same time, they began to emit a faint buzzing sound that made them a lot less stealthy and inconspicuous.

……

Seven days later, Han Li was meditating at the foot of the giant tree when his expression suddenly changed slightly, and he immediately opened his eyes, as did Cao Ji and Fei Xiaox, who were seated on either side of him.

The three of them then looked up in unison, and after the span of just a few breaths, something came hurtling toward them from afar.

Azure light flashed, and a streak of sword Qi that was several feet in length arrived.

Han Lis eyes narrowed slightly as he swept a hand toward the distance, and the streak of sword Qi circled around in the air above the valley before descending toward the massive tree.

Han Li made a grabbing motion, and a small azure sword projection appeared in his hand, within which was contained a white jade slip.

He rubbed his hands together, and the azure light instantly faded, leaving only the small jade slip behind.

Han Li picked up the jade slip before adhering it to his own forehead, then injected his spiritual sense into it. fгeewebnovl.com

Cao Ji and Fei Xiaoxi both turned toward him with serious expressions, and a short while later, Han Li removed the jade slip from his own forehead before tossing it toward Cao Ji.

The devilish army will be entering the formation in two hours, and the formations power will be fully activated in half a day with the aim of killing at least two-thirds of the devilish army.

After inspecting the contents of the jade slip, Cao Ji was quite elated, and he tossed the jade slip to Fei Xiaoxi as he said, So the devilish army really did fall for it. If we really can deal them such a heavy blow, then even if we cant recover the lost territory, well at least be able to ensure that the devilish army wont be able to launch any further attacks in the near future.

In that case, well just have to activate the power of the formation at the agreed time. Once all 36 points are activated, the fate of those devilish beings will be sealed! Fei Xiaoxi also said with a smile after injecting her spiritual sense into the jade slip.

Prior to the complete activation of the formation, we cant let anyone leave this place, so tell everyone to be on high alert, Han Li instructed.

Yes, Ill relay that order right away and arrange some people to implement it, Cao Ji agreed.

Most of the troops in the formation core were Wood Tribe beings, so it was naturally only fit for him to issue the order.

Ill go examine the restriction to see if there are any areas that require addressing, Fei Xiaoxi volunteered.

Alright, thank you for your efforts, fellow daoists. Ill be staying here, make sure to inform me if you discover anything abnormal, Han Li replied with a nod.

Thus, Cao Ji and Fei Xiaoxi rose to their feet before flying away.

As for Han Li, he closed his eyes with a calm expression once again, seemingly completely unperturbed by the approaching devilish army.

……

Half a day later, a string of rumbling booms suddenly rang out as countless massive trees emerged within the area encompassed by the Wood Realm 36 Extremes Formation.

Each of these trees was as thick as a water tank, and they grew to over 1,000 feet tall in the blink of an eye, creating a boundless forest.

All of the devilish beings traveling through the air were instantly forced to plummet down onto the ground as soon as they entered the formation, regardless of whether they were using flying treasures or movement techniques.

Only those who were at or above the Spatial Tempering Stage could just barely remain hovering in mid-air, but the magic power this expended was several times that of what it normally was.

Devilish beings were generally very tough and hardy, so most of them survived the fall, but this still sent the devilish army into a panicked frenzy.

In contrast with the devilish army, the united army knew what to expect, and they were able to make composed descents as soon as the flight restriction appeared.

Within the forest, countless specks of green light flashed, and the united army instantly vanished.

Even the Body Integration Stage devilish lords were unable to sense even a single enemy in the forest with their enormous spiritual sense.

However, it was only in the next instant that the fearsome power of the formation began to make itself known.

First came a burst of indescribable energy fluctuations that suddenly began to spread from the center of the formation. The fluctuations quickly swept through all parts of the forest, and extremely pure wood-attribute spiritual Qi emerged before gushing into some particularly massive trees in a frenzy.

A loud rumbling boom rang out, and those massive trees suddenly were suddenly uprooted before transforming into wooden giants that were around 1,000 feet tall, all of which charged toward the devilish beings caught within the formation.

After absorbing some wood-attribute spiritual Qi, the other trees in the forest also grew at a rapid rate, and they either swept their branches toward the devilish beings or fell upon them as massive logs.

The devilish army was caught completely off guard, and they quickly suffered countless casualties.

However, there were also quite a large number of high-grade devilish beings who had entered the formation, and they immediately began to issue orders, urging everyone to adopt defensive formations to protect themselves.

Unfortunately for them, the formations power far exceeded what was being displayed here. Almost as soon as the devilish army eradicated the wooden giants and nearby trees, gusts of fierce white winds suddenly swept through the air up above before forming a series of massive wind dragons that pounced toward the devilish beings down below with ferocious might.

Following the wind dragons, countless green leaves emerged out of thin air, then transformed into sharp blades that rained down in a torrential downpour.

Over 10 waves of different attacks were unleashed in succession, and in the wake of the carnage, the only devilish beings that remained were either extremely powerful themselves or were being protected by powerful high-grade devilish beings.

Even though the formation was extremely powerful, targeting so many devilish beings at once naturally expended an astonishing amount of energy.

Even with a vast number of spirit stones, spirit veins, and the pure spiritual power provided by the 36 backup holy trees, the formation was unable to unleash any further attacks and could only just barely trap the enemy as it slowly recovered its energy.

At the rate at which the formation was recovering, it would take at least half a day before it could unleash another wave of attacks.

As for the devilish beings outside the formation, all they saw was a flash of green light, following which an extremely thick green light barrier appeared before them, and they instantly lost contact with their brethren on the other side of the barrier.

These devilish beings naturally began to attack the light barrier in a fit of bewilderment, and they were confident that the barrier wouldnt be able to last for long in the face of their combined attacks.

However, right at this moment, countless giant light formations suddenly emerged in front of the light barrier amid a flash of white light.

Some of the high-grade devilish beings immediately identified these formations, and they hurriedly yelled, Those are teleportation formations! Attack them!

However, it was already too late.

White light flashed from the light formations, and countless troops from the united army appeared before immediately charging toward the remnants of the devilish army.
