Yuan Chas expression darkened upon hearing this, and she cast a quick glance at Han Li and the giant golden crab before a cold smile suddenly appeared on her face. She then made a grabbing motion toward the small white hammer, and it was drawn into her grasp before vanishing amid a flash of golden light.

The giant wolf projection overhead also plunged into the hall down below and quickly disappeared.

In the next instant, countless blue runes surged out of the hall, and it flew away as a ball of blue light, retreating into the distance after just a few flashes.

At this moment, Yuan Chas voice rang out from afar. Seeing as Ao Xiao is sticking his nose into this battle, Ill retreat on this occasion, but your luck wont always be this good, if I see you again, you wont be able to get away so easily.

After that, the ball of blue light quickly vanished into the distant sky.

With the inclusion of Ao Xiao, Yuan Cha knew that there would be a good chance that she would place herself in a perilous situation if she were to insist on trying to strike down Han Li, so she had retreated without any hesitation.

Han Li heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and both he and Daoist Xie reverted back to their human forms once again.

Han Li then raised a hand toward the two extreme mountains, which had been encapsulated by blue glacial ice, releasing two bursts of silver flame that melted the ice before drawing the mountains back up his sleeve.

Ao Xiao took a glance at Han Li before raising a hand to release a streak of white light, which transformed into a massive shimmering silver ship that was over 1,000 feet in length and split up into five levels with a series of halberd-wielding armored warriors standing on its deck.

Come along, Patriarch Ao Xiao instructed as he and Silvermoon drifted into the hall on the top level of the ship.

The armored warriors all parted in a respectful manner to grant them passage.

Han Li immediately identified the armored warriors as puppets, and after a brief hesitation, he did as he was instructed, slowly flying toward the ship with Daoist Xie and Zhu Guoer in accompaniment.

The silver armored puppets had clearly already received instructions from Patriarch Ao Xiao, and they merely stood on the spot and allowed Han Lis trio to enter the ship.

However, after making his way to the entrance of the hall, a thought suddenly occurred to Han Li, and he instructed Zhu Guoer to remain outside while he entered the hall with Daoist Xie.

I pay my respects to Senior Ao Xiao! Han Li said as he extended a slight bow toward Patriarch Ao Xiao, who was seated on a golden chair.

Instead of immediately offering a response, Patriarch Ao Xiao merely appraised Han Li with a hint of a smile on his face.

As for Silvermoon, she was standing behind Patriarch Ao Xiao with her head lowered, seemingly unable to muster up the courage to look at Han Li.

So youre the Han Li who managed to cultivate from the Deity Transformation Stage to the Body Integration Stage in mere centuries. After seeing you in action, I now realize that the rumors of your aptitude still havent done you justice. Youve already reached the late-Body Integration Stage, right? Patriarch Ao Xiao finally spoke, and his tone was quite benevolent.

I have indeed already progressed to the late-Body Integration Stage. Im very honored that youve heard of me, Senior, Han Li replied in a calm manner, but he couldnt help but steal another glance at Silvermoon. frewbnovel.com

However, she still had her head lowered and didnt meet his gaze.

I had heard about you ever since Silvermoon returned to the Spirit Realm, but I only started to pay attention to you after you reached the Body Integration Stage. After all, all Body Integration cultivators are extremely important to our human and demon races, so I had to keep some tabs on you. Silvermoon, come and thank Fellow Daoist Han. If it werent for him, you wouldnt have been able to fuse the two halves of your soul back together and return to the Spirit Realm, Patriarch Ao Xiao said with a smile.

Silvermoon finally raised her head upon hearing this, but her expression was completely indifferent, creating a stark contrast with her earlier excitement. Greetings, Brother Han, we may not have met ever since we separated in the human world, but Ive never forgotten what youve done for me.

A hint of surprise appeared in Han Lis eyes as it didnt seem to him like Silvermoon was intentionally feigning indifference, but he quickly smiled, and said, I was unaware of your true identity back in the human world, so please forgive me for any prior offense I may have caused. Furthermore, I didnt have to go to a lot of trouble to save you back then, so dont mention it.

Haha, theres no need to be so cold and distant even though the two of you havent met for so many years. Regardless of what you say, the fact of the matter is that you saved Silvermoons life, and Ill be sure to reward you handsomely for that, Ao Xiao chuckled.

A thought suddenly occurred to Han Li, and quickly changed the subject. Senior, this area is already under the control of the devilish army, have you come here to spy on the devilish army?

Yes and no, Patriarch Ao Xiao replied in an ambiguous manner after a brief pause.

Han Li was rather perplexed by this answer.

Several months ago, our united army received news that the three devilish patriarchs seem to have changed their plans, and the devilish army has begun expanding their territory while corrupting a larger area with devilish Qi. I came here to verify if this was actually the case under the request from several fellow daoists, as well as to see if I could destroy a few Devilfication Formations set up in this area, Ao Xiao replied.

I see. What is this Devilfication Formation, Senior? I recall that there are some areas in our human race that have displayed signs of having undergone devilfication, is that the same as whats happening here? Han Li asked in a perplexed manner.

If the Elder Devil Realm wants to truly claim a territory for itself in our Spirit Realm, then they have to devilfy an area to completely convert the spiritual Qi in that area into devilish Qi, and this transition requires a type of devilish formation that can make normal trees undergo this change. The devilish army has attempted to set up the same formations in our human and demon territories, but we discovered them very early and destroyed most of them before they could produce much of an effect.

However, the situation in the Wood Tribe is a lot more troublesome. Not only have Devilfication Formations been set up over most of their territory, theyve also begun setting up a super formation that will act as the primary formation several years ago. With this primary formation, theyll be able to connect tens of thousands of Devilfication Formations as one entity, and if they were to succeed, it would become extremely difficult to destroy the connected formations. However, if I can destroy a few of these formations, it would delay the devilfication process, Patriarch Ao Xiao explained.

After a brief pause, a hint of a smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly asked, I havent heard anything about you for the past few decades, Fellow Daoist Han, did you venture into the Elder Devil Realm with those from the true spirit families?

Han Lis heart jolted upon hearing this, and after a brief hesitation, a wry smile appeared on his face as he replied, How did you know about that, Senior? I did indeed enter the Elder Devil Realm with some fellow daoists from the true spirit families and the Spirit Race.

All of you vanished off the face of the realm at the same time, and Im aware of the existence of the Spirit Cleansing Pond and Clean Spirit Lotus, so it was easy for me to make the connection. Every devilish tribulation, cultivators from our races would venture into the Elder Devil Realm to seek out those two things, but barely any of them have ever succeeded. Seeing as youre the only one whos returned, I presume everyone else has already perished, Patriarch Ao Xiao said in a calm manner.

Your wisdom is truly unmatched, Senior. Indeed, our journey into the Elder Devil Realm had been extremely perilous, and unfortunately, Im the sole survivor of our group, Han Li sighed.

With your cultivation bases, it would indeed be an extremely dangerous undertaking to venture into the Elder Devil Realm, but Im sure youve reaped far more rewards than you imagined. Setting aside everything else, this fellow daoist is the golden carb within the Devilish Origin Sea, right? Why has his cultivation base dropped to this extent? Tsk tsk, if this Faux Immortal Puppet were at the height of its powers, even I would be no match for it. How did you manage to abduct it from the Elder Devil Realm? Patriarch Ao Xiao chuckled as he cast his gaze toward Daoist Xie with a hint of yearning in his eyes.

I see youre aware of Brother Xies existence as well. Fellow Daoist Xie has already attained intelligence, so hes certainly not someone that I can simply abduct, hes only temporarily following me as I was able to offer him a mutually beneficial deal, Han Li replied in an ambiguous manner.

I see, Patriarch Ao Xiao replied, but he was clearly unconvinced.

If the giant golden crab were that easy to lure away, then it wouldnt have remained in the Devilish Origin Sea for so many years.

Ao Xiao was extremely envious of this Faux Immortal Puppet, but he had no intention of trying to take it for himself. After all, obtaining such a puppet still didnt change the fact that he would struggle to transcend his next major heavenly tribulation.

On top of that, the fact that Han Li had progressed to the late-Body Integration Stage and seemed to have a chance of reaching the Grand Ascension Stage was extremely astonishing to him.

As a result, there was now potential for him to undo the one thing that he had always regretted.

With that in mind, he cast a glance toward Silvermoon, and even though his expression remained quite relaxed, a serious tone crept into his voice as he said, Fellow Daoist Han, I wont force you to tell me what you experienced in the Elder Devil Realm, but I hope you can answer one questions truthfully: did you manage to enter the Spirit Cleansing Pond and consume the Clean Spirit Lotus?

Countless specks of blue light suddenly appeared within an area of around half a kilometer again, then converged to form more translucent humanoid figures, numbering in excess of 100 on this occasion.

Han Li was extremely alarmed to see this.

If all of these translucent figures possessed the same powers as the first eight, then that meant that he would be facing over 100 devilish-lord-level opponents!

Surely even a Sacred Ancestor like Yuan Cha couldnt possess such an incredible ability!

Han Li took a deep breath, and a gash appeared on his glabella, following which a black vertical demonic eye appeared, it was none other than his Law Destruction Eye!

The black demonic eye peered into the mass of translucent figures up ahead, and an enlightened look immediately appeared on Han Lis face as he abruptly reached out with a massive furry hand.

Spatial fluctuations erupted, and the front half of his arm vanished into thin air.

At the same time, golden light flashed in front of one of the translucent figures that had just taken shape before grabbing toward it like lightning.

A panicked look immediately appeared on the translucent figures face, and it hurriedly crossed its arms to form a barricade in front of itself. A blue ice shield then emerged before it amid a flash of blue light, following which it shot back in retreat like a speeding arrow.

In contrast with the first eight translucent figures, this one didnt dare to take on Han Lis attack at all.

However, Han Li suddenly let loose a loud roar that made the entire space around him tremor as he crushed the blue ice shield with ease, then extended it toward the retreating translucent figure once again.

All of a sudden, his giant golden hand blurred, and the translucent figure felt a burst of excruciating pain spear through its chest, causing it to let loose an involuntary howl of agony.

Its facial features, which originally resembled those of Yuan Cha, quickly transformed into those of an ape, and it looked down in shock and horror at the golden hand that plunged through its chest.

A burst of silver flames erupted from the golden hand to sweep up the devilish ape, and it let loose several more howls of anguish before falling silent.

Only then did Han Li slowly withdraw his arm, at which point the devilish ape had already been incinerated into nothingness.

As soon as the devilish ape was slain, all of the other translucent humanoid figures in the area instantly exploded into specks of blue light that vanished into thin air.

Yuan Chas expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

That devilish ape was an extremely rare Crystalline Projection Beast in her possession, and not only was it capable of wielding glacial power, it had the innate ability to be able to manifest hundreds, even thousands of clones. Under normal circumstances, as long as its true body wasnt spotted, it would be able to overwhelm all opponents beneath Sacred Ancestors with its countless clones.

Yuan Cha had slain many powerful enemies with this beast, but Han Li had managed to identify its weakness with ease and kill it within the span of just a few breaths. This came as quite a surprise to Yuan Cha, and she was forced to take Han Li a lot more seriously.

However, the Crystalline Projection Beasts devilish core had already been fused as one with her soul, so even though its physical body had been destroyed, she could still resurrect the beast after some time using a secret technique.

As such, even though Yuan Cha had become more cautious and alert, she wasnt all that infuriated.

Impressive, it seems that youre not just all talk. However, if you think you can oppose a Sacred Ancestor with your paltry powers, then youre completely delusional. I dont know how you were able to escape from all of those other Sacred Ancestors, but you have no chance against me, Yuan Cha said in a cold voice as she made a hand seal, and a pillar of blue light immediately erupted into the heavens from behind her.

In the next instant, a giant wolf projection that was several hundred feet in size appeared above the hall that she was situated in.

The shimmering blue wolf had a pair of purple eyes, and it was giving off a terrifying aura that struck one with a sense of asphyxiation.

In the face of this enormous aura, Han Li shuddered and was forced back several steps in succession.

Even though he was invincible among those of the Body Integration Stage, it was still a stretch for him to face the full power of a Grand Ascension Stage being.

Daoist Xies expression remained unchanged, but he had swept a sleeve through the air to conjure up a golden light barrier, which shielded both himself and Zhu Guoer.

The golden light barrier only tremored slightly in the face of the fearsome aura before stabilizing itself, and Zhu Guoer was left completely unscathed.

So this is Yuan Chas bonded devilish projection, it really is very fearsome! Brother Xie, how much of your magic power have you recovered? Can you fight at full power yet? Han Li asked with a grim expression.

Im close to returning to the Grand Ascension Stage, but I wont be able to face her on my own, Daoist Xie replied in a wooden manner.

Youre not alone, Brother Xie. If we dont force her into retreat, shes not going to let us leave, so just fight to the best of your capabilities, Han Li said.

If we join forces, we do indeed have a decent chance of securing victory, Daoist Xie replied with a nod.

Han Li was quite relieved to hear this, and he immediately thumped his own chest violently, releasing several balls of light of different colors from within his body. These balls of light then transformed into his five true spirit projections, while his Provenance Golden Body vanished into his body in a flash.

In the next instant, he swelled drastically to over 10 times his original size, transforming into a mountainous creature, following which he attained an extra two heads and two additional pairs of arms amid a thunderous roar.

Meanwhile, Daoist Xie stepped forward and transformed into his gigantic golden crab form before releasing countless arcs of silver lightning that formed a massive net around his own body.

Yuan Chas pupils contracted slightly at the sight of the giant ape and massive crab, and she immediately flipped a hand over to produce a small white hammer.

The hammer was around three feet in length with over 100 eye-shaped golden patterns all over its surface.

The small hammer instantly lit up, and all of the eyes opened in unison, revealing a series of faint golden pupils that began to slowly revolve, creating a very harrowing sight to behold.

Immediately thereafter, Yuan Cha harrumphed coldly as she hurled her hammer through the air, creating a massive hammer projection that came crashing down with devastating might.

A hint of surprise flashed through Han Lis eyes as he discovered that the giant hammer was crashing down toward a mundane-looking small mountain rather than being aimed at Daoist Xie or himself.

With the massive hammer projections fearsome power, the small mountain would definitely be instantly destroyed if it were to be struck.

Right at this moment, a calm male voice suddenly rang out from within the mountain. As expected of a Sacred Ancestor, Fellow Daoist Yuan, I didnt think you would discover me so quickly.

As soon as the voice trailed off, a streak of silver light swept up from the mountain before clashing with the hammer projection amid a resounding boom.

Silver and white light intertwined, forming a massive ball of light that instantly exploded to send powerful shockwaves sweeping outward in all directions.

The mountains and trees nearby were all completely pulverized by the shockwaves, instantly clearing out the nearby area.

Once the shockwaves finally subsided, two humanoid figures had appeared in the air above the small mountain.

Han Li hurriedly cast his gaze toward the duo, upon which his heart instantly jolted violently.

The duo consisted of a man and a woman. The man wore a set of silver robes and a faint smile with long black hair that pooled all the way down to his waist, while the woman had an elegant figure and skin that was as fair as snow. She also had a head of long straight hair that looked as if they had been constructed from pure silver, and she was extremely beautiful.

As soon as she appeared, she cast her gaze toward Han Li, and an excited look appeared on her face.

In contrast, a frosty look had surfaced in Yuan Chas eyes at the sight of the man, and she said, You dare to enter this area on your own? Arent you afraid that youll perish here?

The man was none other than the demon races only Grand Ascension Stage being, Patriarch Ao Xiao!

As the Grand Ascension Stage patriarch of the demon race, it was indeed very unexpected to see him in Wood Tribe territory.

As for the silver-haired woman beside him, she was naturally Silvermoon, otherwise known as Fairy Ling Long in the Spirit Realm.

Han Li faltered slightly at the sight of her before an ecstatic look appeared on his face, yet before he had a chance to ask any questions, Patriarch Ao Xiao chuckled, If you really had what it takes to keep me here, then I wouldnt have appeared in this place. If I were to join forces with these two fellow daoists here, what would be your chances of securing victory? You might be the one who loses their life here if you insist on a battle!

Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations erupted over 200 feet above the flying carriage, and Han Lis trio emerged.

Han Li had managed to react in the instant before the surprise attack, and he immediately teleported the three of them out of the carriage.

Han Li was currently standing in mid-air, looking down at the lake with a grim expression. freewbnove.com

The fact that the enemy down below had been able to conceal themselves from both him and Daoist Xie was a testament to their powers.

It was clear that a truly powerful being had tracked them down.

Right at this moment, the massive green hand exploded into countless water droplets that rained back down into the lake.

At the same time, the water in the lake churned violently, following which a hall that was around 100 feet tall emerged.

The hall was completely translucent and was glowing with faint blue light, looking as if it had been constructed purely from the water of the lake.

At the entrance of the hall stood a green-armored woman with a slightly dark complexion, and she was appraising Han Li with a cold expression.

The devilish woman was giving off the unfathomable aura of a Grand Ascension Stage being, and Han Lis expression changed drastically at the sight of her.

Yuan Cha! Your true body has descended into the Spirit Realm?

A cold smile appeared on the womans face as she replied, I didnt think that I would get to meet you so soon. Youve crossed me on more than one occasion, and this is where your life ends! If you surrender yourself to me, perhaps I could consider granting you a swift and painless death, but if you resist, youll only be setting yourself up for pain and suffering.

Do you really think Ill fear you just because your true body is here? Ive encountered multiple Sacred Ancestors recently, and none of them have been able to do anything to me, Han Li replied in a nonchalant manner.

Even though it had been a long time since Han Li had seen Yuan Chas true body, he had been pursued by one of her clones for a very long time, so he was still able to recognize her right away.

However, he had grown far more powerful since then, and he had Daoist Xie by his side, so he wasnt overly concerned by this current situation.

Yuan Cha raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, but she continued in a completely emotionless voice, Youve met other Sacred Ancestors? So you really are the one who emerged from that spatial passageway not long ago. Im curious, how did a mere Body Integration cultivator like you manage to survive those encounters with Sacred Ancestors? Ill admit that youre truly an exceptional talent to have progressed so rapidly in your cultivation, but this is where your cultivation journey ends.

As soon as her voice trailed off, Yuan Cha abruptly raised a hand and made a grabbing motion toward Han Lis trio.

The water in the lake down below instantly erupted upward like a reverse waterfall, then transformed into a giant green hand again.

However, this hand was over 10 times larger than the previous one, and it encompassed virtually the entire sky as it came crashing down toward Han Lis trio.

Han Lis eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing this, and he opened his mouth to expel a ball of silver flames before quickly making a hand seal.

The silver fireball instantly transformed into a silver Fire Raven that was around a foot in size, and Han Li pointed a finger toward it, upon which it rapidly swelled to the size of a small mountain as it let loose a clear cry.

Immediately thereafter, the giant Fire Raven crashed into the massive hand amid a resounding boom, and both of them exploded in unison.

Water and fire intertwined high up in the air, forming thick pillars of water and fire that rose up into the heavens before instantly evaporating into dense water vapor that permeated through the entire surrounding area.

A disdainful smile appeared on Yuan Chas face as she uttered the word, gather.

All of a sudden, countless specks of blue light appeared out of thin air, then entered the water vapor like droplets of rain.

The water vapor immediately converged into a white mountain that was over 10,000 feet tall, and it descended while releasing countless blue runes.

The mountain appeared to be completely weightless, but a grim look appeared on Han Lis face at the sight of it, and he immediately transformed into a giant golden ape amid a flash of golden light before lashing out with both of his fists at once.

A pair of golden fist projections was unleashed directly toward the descending mountain, and the blue runes rippled violently as if they could scatter at any moment, but the white mountain itself was completely unperturbed as it continued in its descent.

Han Lis heart jolted upon seeing this, and he immediately withdrew his fists before flipping his hands over to produce his pair of extreme mountains.

After that, he let loose a thunderous roar and hurled both of the mountains up into the air with a violent swing of his arms.

The two mountains instantly struck the underside of the blue mountain, and a burst of scintillating light erupted forth, followed by an earth-shattering boom.

At the same time, devastating energy fluctuations surged through the air in all directions, causing the entire sky to warp and twist violently.

Meanwhile, golden light flashed from Han Lis body to sweep up Zhu Guoer, following which he strode forward and vanished into thin air in a flash.

As for Daoist Xie, he merely disappeared on the spot as a gentle breeze.

In the next instant, the devastating energy fluctuations swept through the spot where they had been standing just a moment ago.

Yuan Chas brows furrowed slightly at the sight of the fearsome shockwaves, but she then chanted an incantation, the hall that she was situated in released a vast expanse of gentle blue light that parted the oncoming shockwaves with ease.

After the scintillating light faded, the three mountains were revealed to be locked in an impasse, with the two extreme mountains opposing the white mountain from below.

Countless shimmering blue runes were surging around the white mountain, while the black mountain was releasing waves of grey light, and the azure mountain was conjuring countless streaks of invisible sword Qi that swept through the surrounding area.

At this point, Han Li and Daoist Xie had already reappeared over 1,000 feet away.

A cold look flashed through Yuan Chas eyes as she pointed a finger upward while uttering the word seal.

All of the blue runes revolving around the white mountain exploded in unison, and a burst of glacial power descended from the heavens.

The two extreme mountains were instantly sealed within chunks of blue glacial ice, and Han Li drew a sharp breath upon seeing this as he immediately raised a hand to summon a ball of silver flames.

However, right as he was about to hurl the silver fireball toward the pair of extreme mountains in the distance, blue spiritual light suddenly flashed around him, and eight translucent humanoid figures emerged, all of which were identical in appearance to Yuan Cha.

However, their bodies were completely transparent, as if they were ice statues, and they pounced toward Han Li and Daoist Xie in unison.

Zhu Guoer wasnt perceived as a threat, so none of the humanoid figures were targeting her.

Han Lis heart jolted upon seeing this, and the silver flames he had conjured up instantly transformed into a pair of silver fiery ropes that flew toward two of the approaching figures.

At the same time, green and golden light flashed as his Provenance Golden Body and spirit body also appeared before pouncing toward another two of the translucent humanoid figures.

Meanwhile, Daoist Xie opened his mouth to unleash four pillars of golden light at once, which immediately pierced through the bodies of the remaining four translucent figures.

The two humanoid figures that were bound by the pair of fiery ropes were instantly inundated by silver flames that evaporated them into nothingness, but the other two were able to fight on par with the golden body and spirit body, managing to hold their own in hand-to-hand combat.

As for the four humanoid figures that were pouncing toward Daoist Xie, they were immobilized in the instant that the golden light passed through their bodies, and Daoist Xie thrust his palms toward them in a nonchalant manner to instantly destroy them.

Han Li was ecstatic to see this, and he unleashed a pair of azure projections that vanquished the pair of translucent figures locked in combat with the golden body and spirit body as well.

However, not only was Yuan Cha not alarmed or enraged by this, a faint smile appeared on her face as she suddenly made a hand seal.

Could it be that all of the Wood Tribe beings have already been wiped out by the devilish army? Zhu Guoer asked in a concerned manner.

Theres no way that could be the case. The Wood Tribe has a population of billions, and theres no lack of Body Integration Stage beings among them, theres no way the devilish army wouldve been able to wipe them out so quickly. On top of that, the Wood Tribe is part of an alliance with several other races, including our human race, the other members of the alliance wouldnt just watch the Wood Tribe fall. Im guessing the Wood Tribe beings here have most likely vacated the area after the devilish army gained the upper hand here, Han Li replied.

Zhu Guoer felt this to be quite a reasonable assumption, and she nodded in response. Youre right, Senior, we should begin to start seeing Wood Tribe beings once we get further away from the spatial passageway.

Han Li offered no reply to this.

Three days later, the flying carriage had stopped in the air above a boundless forest, and there were eight high-grade devilish beings standing over 1,000 feet away.

These devilish beings each had a pair of fleshy green wings and crimson eyes, creating a very menacing sight to behold.

Behind them was a flock of around 600 two-headed devilish birds, each of which was around 10 feet in size with a single black horn on each of their heads.

What number are we up to? Han Li asked in an expressionless manner.

This is the seventh wave, Senior, Zhu Guoer replied.

Hmph, it seems that the high-grade devilish beings overseeing this place still havent learned their lesson. After I get rid of this group, they should stop bothering us for some time, Han Li said in a cold voice.

Immediately thereafter, he swept his sleeves through the air, releasing 72 miniature azure swords amid a flash of azure light.

Han Li made a hand seal before pointing a finger at the small swords, and they quickly began to multiply until thousands of small flying swords had filled the entire sky. freeebnovel.com

The high-grade devilish beings up ahead were quite alarmed to see this, but they displayed no intention to retreat as they all summoned their weapons, then flew directly toward the flying carriage as gusts of black winds.

All of the devilish birds behind them also let loose extremely unpleasant squawks as they flapped their wings and followed closely behind the high-grade devilish beings.

A cold look flashed through Han Lis eyes upon seeing this, and all of the small azure swords instantly transformed into sword projections that were around 10 feet in length each at his behest.

All of the sword projections surged through the air, quickly inundating the high-grade devilish beings and two-headed devilish birds.

Agonized howls rang out incessantly as blood and dismembered limbs rained down from the heavens, and all of the devilish beings and devilish birds were instantly slain.

Only then did Han Li sweep his sleeve through the air again to withdraw all of his azure swords.

At this point, there was no longer even a single living devilish being in sight.

The flying carriage immediately continued onward as a ball of azure light at Han Lis behest, and just as he had anticipated, no more devilish beings appeared to intercept them thereafter.

However, there was still no end in sight to the dark green trees that appeared down below, and it seemed that they had spread over the entire Wood Tribe territory.

What was even more unsettling to Han Li was that they were still yet to encounter a single Wood Tribe being, it was as if the entire Wood Tribe really had been eradicated!

A month later, as the flying carriage was traveling over a certain valley, Han Li finally discovered a small Wood Tribe settlement that was being attacked by over 1,000 devilish beings.

The settlement was comprised of over 10,000 Wood Tribe beings, but only around 2,000 of them were fit for battle, and they were being completely dominated by the devilish beings.

Han Li was ecstatic to see this, and they quickly slew all of the devilish beings without any hesitation before revealing himself to be a human.

From the elder settlement, he finally learned what had happened in the Wood Tribe during the past few decades.

It turned out that after several fierce battles, an impasse had been reached between the devilish army and the Spirit Realm races. However, five years ago, the devilish beings suddenly diverted their forces away from the human and demon territories, unleashing a surprise attack on the Wood Tribe instead.

In the face of their ferocious assault, the Wood Tribe army was quickly forced onto the back foot. Due to how abruptly everything had happened, the allies of the Wood Tribe were unable to assist them in time, and in an act of desperation, the grand elder of the Wood Tribe emerged from seclusion to face the enemy.

However, as soon as he appeared on the frontlines, he was immediately ambushed by three Sacred Ancestors who had concealed themselves on the battlefield in advance.

The three Sacred Ancestors werent of the same caliber as the likes of Yuan Yan, Liu Ji, and Nie Pan, but they werent just some clones, either, so the Wood Tribe grand elder was quickly severely wounded and almost killed.

In that dire situation, the grand elder summoned a holy tree that the Wood Tribe had been worshipping for countless years, and only by drawing upon the power of that tree was he just barely able to escape with his life. However, his powers had been severely diminished, and he wasnt even comparable to a Grand Ascension Stage being anymore.

Having lost its most powerful backer, the Wood Tribes morale completely plummeted, and in the short span of just a single year, it had lost most of its territory to the devilish army.

At that point, ally reinforcements finally arrived, but under the looming threat of the three Sacred Ancestors, the Wood Tribe was only able to hold onto its remaining territory without being able to reclaim any of its old territory.

Prior to this, all of the remaining Wood Tribe settlements had already retreated to areas under the protection of the ally races, but there were inevitably some settlements who received the news too late or acted too slowly and were caught in the territory that had been conquered by the devilish army.

This settlement was one of them, and they could only pray that they could weather the storm by hiding in this secluded area.

However, during the past few years, most of these settlements had already been wiped out by the devilish army, which was why Han Li hadnt encountered any Wood Tribe beings prior to this.

The settlement that had just been saved was only a small portion of a large Wood Tribe settlement that had been discovered and forced to split up for survival.

Even so, this group of Wood Tribe beings had still been discovered by the devilish army, and if Han Li hadnt intervened, they wouldve all been killed or enslaved.

Senior, Ive answered all of the questions you have for me, would you be able to protect us until we can return to a safe area? the elder of the settlement implored with a hint of desperation in his eyes.

Han Li looked at the Wood Tribe beings to find that two-thirds of them were women, elderly, or children, and he sighed, I can take you with me, but I must tell you that Ive already killed many waves of devilish beings on the way here, so the devilish army has most likely already set their sights on me. Itll only be a matter of time before high-grade devilish beings come after me, and when that time comes, you may be plunged into even more danger as I wont be able to protect all of you once a battle ensues.

I see. In that case, well make do on our own, but if you can, please inform our allies seniors of our situation so they can come and save us as soon as possible, we would all be eternally grateful to you, Senior. A disappointed look appeared on the elders face upon seeing this, but he then extended a deep bow toward Han Li.

Ill be sure to do that. However, Im unfamiliar with the current distribution of the devilish army, would you happen to have a map or some relevant information? Han Li asked.

Weve been in hiding all this time, but we have managed to gather some information, its just that its very rough and by no means comprehensive, the elder replied.

That should be enough, Han Li said with a smile.

After that, he received a map from the elder before continuing on his journey.

The Wood Tribe beings naturally didnt dare to linger in the valley any longer, and they all fled the scene as well.

Around half a month later, Han Li was flying over a green lake when all of a sudden, a massive green hand emerged from the lake like lightning before instantly grabbing onto the flying carriage, crushing it into pieces as it burst into green flames.

On the giant black ark stood countless silver-armored devilish guards, all of whom were at least at the Deity Transformation Stage, and there were even several Body Integration Stage devilish lords among them.

All of the devilish guards were appraising Han Li with bewildered expressions, clearly wondering why Han Lis group had appeared here.

According to the original plan, they were supposed to be the only ones who had access to the spatial passageway for the entire day.

Right as the two flying treasures were about to pass by one another, an elderly voice suddenly rang out from the cabin of the giant ark.

Hmph, I didnt think that I would encounter a few Spirit Realm rats here! Why dont you return with me to our holy realm?

As soon as the voice trailed off, a burst of astonishing killing intent surged out of the cabin, immediately following which a white spatial rift appeared right above the flying carriage.

A giant white bone claw that was several tens of feet in size emerged from within the rift before grabbing downward with devastating force.

Bursts of grey baleful Qi swept forth from the tips of the five claws, and the outermost light barrier around the flying carriage was instantly shattered by the grey Qi.

Han Lis expression changed drastically upon seeing this, and he immediately let loose a low roar before transforming into a giant golden ape once again amid a flash of golden light.

He then swung his massive furry fists upward, and a pair of golden fist projections emerged in a flash.

A loud rumbling boom rang out as the grey baleful Qi clashed with the fist projections, and the former was instantly eradicated, while the fist projections also shrank down significantly.

A cold light flashed through Daoist Xies eyes, and he opened his mouth to expel a pillar of golden light, which struck the center of the white bone claw almost at the exact same moment as the fist projections did.

A dull thump rang out, and the golden light exploded beneath the bone claw, forming a giant ball of light that resembled a scintillating golden sun.

The giant bone claw was imbued with incredible power, but it was stopped in its tracks by the explosion of golden light.

At the same time, the entire nearby space began to buzz loudly, and there were some parts of the passageway that were beginning to twist and warp.

All of the devilish guards on the giant ark were horrified to see this. If the spatial passageway were to collapse, none of them would be able to escape.

Right at this moment, a cold harrumph rang out from within the cabin of the giant ark, and the bone claw closed its fingers around the ball of golden light down below.

The ball of light was instantly snuffed out as a result, and Han Li couldnt help but draw a sharp breath upon seeing this.

However, during this brief moment of respite, his flying carriage had managed to pass by the giant ark before suddenly vanishing on the spot.

In the next instant, it appeared over 1,000 feet ahead of where it had been just an instant ago, and it continued onward as a ball of azure light.

The giant bone claw also shattered amid a dull thump, and all of the devilish guards were left at a loss for what to do.

A short while later, the same elderly voice rang out again from within the cabin. Leave them be and keep going!

Yes, Master!

All of the devilish guards immediately sprang into action, and the giant ark accelerated significantly as it hurtled toward the exit of the spatial passageway.

Within the cabin of the giant ark, a young devilish boy who appeared to be around 12 years of age asked, Are we just going to let them go, Master Tun Tian? How about we send some people after them?

His question was directed toward a white-haired elderly man who was lounging on a taishi chair, and the elderly man replied, I have more important things to attend to, so Ill let them go. No one else will be able to capture them aside from myself.

Are they really that powerful? You didnt even use much of your true power just now, the young boy exclaimed.

The elderly man seemed to be quite fond of the young boy, and he replied with a doting smile, Hehe, that is indeed true, but those two brats didnt use their full power, either. If a battle had been initiated, I wouldnt have been able to take them down in a short time.

I didnt think they were that powerful! the young boy said with a hint of lingering shock in his eyes.

No weakling would be able to infiltrate our holy realm, then force their way back through a spatial passageway. If it wasnt for the fact that I cant use too much power in this passageway, I definitely wouldnt have let them get away, the elderly man said as a cold look flashed through his eyes.

Of course! Outside of the passageway, those Spirit Realm beings wouldve had no choice but to surrender to you! the young boy hurriedly flattered.

The elderly man chuckled in response as he stroked his long beard, seemingly very pleased by the young boys flattery. However, in reality, he was actually feeling rather perplexed as he felt like he had seen the young man on the flying carriage who had unleashed that burst of golden light somewhere before, but he was unable to identify him.

In the end, he decided that he would investigate the matter once he returned to the Elder Devil Realm. In his mind, seeing as this wasnt even someone that he could immediately identify, he couldnt be an overly important figure.

……

Around eight hours later, spatial fluctuations suddenly erupted on the other side of the spatial passageway, following which a flying carriage that was enveloped within a ball of azure light abruptly shot forth.

There were several devilish guards outside the passageway, as well as three giant pyramids down below positioned in a triangular formation, and the nearby patrols were all extremely startled by this as they quickly converged toward the flying carriage.

At the same time, a series of stone doors of different sizes opened up on the sides of the huge pyramids, and many devilish beings began to emerge from within them.

However, the flying carriage was far faster than they had imagined, and only after it had completely vanished into the distance did several devilish lords fly out of the devilish pyramids in an enraged manner.

Han Li was standing at the front of the flying carriage, and he looked around at the lush forest of giant trees down below as he murmured to himself, This is indeed Wood Tribe territory. I visited the Wood Tribe many years ago, and the environment here is very unique, so theres no mistaking it.

Meanwhile, Zhu Guoer was looking around in an excited manner. So this is the Spirit Realm! The spiritual Qi here really is far more abundant than in our Small Spirit Sky.

There were many humans in the Small Spirit Sky who were originally from the Spirit Realm, and all of them told tales of what a wonderful place the Spirit Realm was.

Han Li withdrew his gaze as he shook his head, and said, The Spirit Realm is indeed a very good place, but our human race isnt very powerful here and is in a very perilous situation, so its not as good here as you think.

In any case, the Spirit Realm is definitely a better place to cultivate than our Small Spirit Sky. By the way, Senior, when are you planning to travel to the Small Spirit Sky? Make sure to take me along with you, Zhu Guoer said with a smile.

Dont worry, Ill definitely take you with me. I dont know anything about the Small Spirit Sky, so Ill be requiring a guide, Han Li replied.

Zhu Guoer was ecstatic to hear this. You have my gratitude in advance then, Senior!

Han Li merely nodded in response before falling silent.

He was spurring on the flying carriage to travel at its maximal speed, so he wasnt concerned about being chased down by any pursuers.

However, after flying for around half a day, Han Lis expression had gradually become grimmer and grimmer. freewenovl.co

They were indeed flying over one lush forest after another, but some of the trees in the forests were dark green in color, creating a stark contrast with the other exuberant green trees.

As the flying carriage flew further and further, these dark green trees began to appear with increasing regularity, to the point that close to half of the trees that they encountered were of this color.

On top of that, a faint black mist had begun to permeate throughout the forests, and even though it was extremely thin, it was still very unsettling to behold.

Even Zhu Guoers expression had gradually transitioned from excitement to concern upon seeing this.

After flying for a while longer, she finally couldnt help but ask, Senior Han, these trees seem to be very similar to the plants of the Elder Devil Realm, and this mist appears to contain devilish Qi as well, whats happening here?

Im not too sure, but the devilish beings are most likely behind this. Whats even stranger is that we still havent encountered a single Wood Tribe being even after flying for this long. The Wood Tribe isnt as powerful as our human race, but its certainly nothing to be scoffed at, Han Li replied with a grim expression.

The flying carriage continued on toward the center of the devilish cloud without pause like a shooting star.

Due to the large section of the cloud that had been dispersed, a giant passageway with a diameter of around 500 meters had been revealed.

Right at this moment, two cold voices rang out from either side of the flying carriage.

Prepare for trouble!

And make it double!

As soon as the voices trailed off, a bolt of black lightning that was over 100 feet in length erupted out of one side of the black cloud amid a loud thunderclap, hurtling directly toward the flying carriage as a lightning wyrm.

Meanwhile, a giant green sword projection emerged from the cloud on the other side before also sweeping toward the carriage.

Han Lis expression changed slightly upon seeing this.

Even though both of the assailants were still concealed within the mist, it was clear from their attacks that they were no ordinary devilish lords.

Of course, these attacks werent enough to pose a threat to him. He immediately swept a sleeve through the air while pointing at the green sword projection with his other hand.

A thick bolt of golden lightning erupted out of his sleeve amid a rumbling thunderclap, while a streak of sword Qi shot forth out of his fingertip.

He was fighting lighting with lightning, and sword with sword.

The four clashed, and bursts of piercing light erupted forth, then quickly faded in unison.

It seemed that the attacks were all evenly matched.

Han Li faltered slightly upon seeing this, and the two devilish beings concealed within the cloud were also very astonished.

The attacks unleashed by the pair of devilish beings seemed to be quite ordinary, but they were actually imbued with incredible power.

The black lightning was one of the Elder Devil Realms four types of divine lightning, and it possessed extremely potent corrosive power, able to instantly erode the average treasure.

As for the azure sword projection, that was a bonded ability that the other devilish being had cultivated for close to 10,000 years, and it was capable of slicing through the average flying sword with ease.

However, Han Li had instantly nullified both of their attacks, seemingly with ease, and that naturally came as quite a shock to the pair of devilish beings.

Han Li had no intention of lingering here, and he stabilized the flying carriage, which was shuddering slightly from the shockwaves resulting from the explosions, before it continued to fly toward the massive passageway.

The two high-grade devilish beings were infuriated to see this, and they instantly cast their bewilderment aside before attacking again.

On this occasion, countless arcs of black lightning sprang forth from one side of the cloud, while a sword projection that was five times larger than the previous one emerged from the other side.

The two attacks had been unleashed virtually in unison, and instead of being directed toward Han Li, they had been aimed at the entrance to the passageway, thereby instantly sealing it.

If the flying carriage wanted to enter the passageway, then it would have to pierce through the attacks.

As opposed to being alarmed by this, a cold smile appeared on Han Lis face, and he instantly transformed into a giant golden ape that was several tens of feet tall amid a flash of golden light. His arms then thickened drastically as he threw a pair of devastating punches upward with all his might.

In his Giant Mountain Ape form, Han Lis strength had already reached an incredible level, and even a Grand Ascension Stage being wouldnt dare to take the full brunt of his strength head-on.

The space up ahead rippled and warped violently, and a pair of giant golden fist projections that were as large as small mountains crashed down with enormous force.

An earth-shattering boom rang out, and the arcs of lightning and sword projection were instantly shattered by the fist projections.

Thus, the flying carriage was able to instantly fly into the spatial passageway without any further impediment.

After that, the five-colored flashed within the passageway alongside a burst of spatial fluctuations, and the flying carriage was nowhere to be seen.

Only then did a pair of humanoid figures hurriedly fly out of the black cloud.

The two of them quickly flew over to the entrance of the spatial passageway and peered into its depths with panicked expressions.

One of the devils was a handsome purple-robed young man with a horn on his head, while the other was a white-armored, dark-skinned devilish being with fiery red hair.

What do we do? We let them get away! Theyre not going to run into each other, are they? the dark-skinned devilish being asked in a frantic voice.

Surely there wouldnt be that much of a coincidence, they only said that theyd be returning from the Spirit Realm today, but didnt give an exact time, the other devilish being said with a calm expression that was clearly slightly forced.

I certainly hope they dont run into one another. In any case, were definitely going to get punished for this. Who the hell was that? Arent they afraid of drawing the ire of the Sacred Ancestor by forcing their way into the spatial passageway? the dark-skinned devilish being said with a resentful expression.

That man possessed unfathomable powers and was able to easily nullify our attacks, so hes definitely not a normal devilish lord, but he doesnt seem to be a Sacred Ancestor, either, the purple-robed devilish being remarked.

Hes definitely not a Sacred Ancestor. He is indeed very powerful, but hes still far from reaching that level. Besides, if he really were a Sacred Ancestor, he wouldve simply revealed his identity to be granted passage, the dark-skinned devilish being replied as he shook his head vigorously.

But if hes not a devilish lord, then how is it possible that we havent heard of such a powerful devilish lord? Perhaps we should ask the others to see if they were able to identify him, the purple-robed devilish said with furrowed brows.

Even we were unable to determine his identity, those useless fools most likely werent even able to see what he looked like, so theres no way theyll be of any help to us, the dark-skinned devilish being said in a disdainful manner as he looked down at the several streaks of light that were approaching them.

In any case, it cant hurt to ask, perhaps well be able to gather some leads, the dark-skinned devilish being countered.

Shortly thereafter, the streaks of light arrived on the scene, revealing a group of devilish lords, all of whom immediately extended respectful salutes toward the pair of devils.

The dark-skinned devilish being wasted no time as he instantly swept a hand through the air, conjuring up projections that bore the appearances of Han Lis trio.

Do any of you know who these people are? he asked in a cold voice.

The group of devilish lords looked carefully at the projections being presented, then exchanged a few helpless glances before a thin and gaunt man finally stepped forward with a careful expression. According to our knowledge, its very likely that those were powerful beings from the Spirit Realms human race!

The human race? The dark-skinned devilish being faltered slightly upon hearing this, as did the purple-robed devilish man.

Indeed. The two of you have constantly been in seclusion ever since you were assigned to this place, so its no surprise that youre unaware of the recent events that have unfolded. Almost our entire holy realm has been made aware of this human cultivator, and there are even rumors of Sacred Ancestors being defeated by him, a devilish woman hurriedly explained.

Expressions of incredulity immediately appeared on the faces of the two devils upon hearing this. Is that so? Give us more details on this.

Several years ago… Thus, the thin and gaunt devilish lord immediately began to recount Han Lis recent exploits, and the two devils listened with rapt focus.

……

Within the spatial passageway, the flying carriage had been enveloped within a series of light barriers, and was quickly racing through the darkness.

Han Li stood at the front of the flying carriage, having already returned to his human form, and his expression had eased significantly.

In several hours, theyd arrive back in the Spirit Realm.

Even though they were going to arrive in the Wood Tribe territory, he was still very excited at the prospect of returning home.

Time slowly passed by, and the flying carriage continued onward without encountering any impediment.

Just as Han Li was estimating that most of the journey had been completed, spatial fluctuations suddenly erupted up ahead, and a massive war ark that was over 1,000 feet in length emerged before hurtling directly toward them.

Han Li was naturally very alarmed by this, and a cautious look immediately appeared on his face. freebovel.com

Generally speaking, one would refrain from initiating a battle in a spatial passageway in fear of triggering violent spatial storms, but if the people on the ark were to completely disregard that and attack him nonetheless, then he would naturally have to retaliate.

Judging from the aura and size of the giant ark, its owner was most likely not just some ordinary devilish lord, so he had to be very careful.

The flying carriage and giant ark were both traveling extremely quickly, and within the span of a single breath, they had reached one another.

Han Li was also appraising the copper mirror, and he said, That is indeed rather strange. According to the Long Family patriarch, this passageway shouldnt be one thats heavily guarded. Either he was lying from the very beginning or something happened to make the devilish beings take this place more seriously. If you ask me, I believe the latter to be more likely.

How are you so sure, Senior Han? Zhu Guoer asked in a curious manner.

Meanwhile, Daoist Xie was standing off to the side with his hands clasped behind his back. Even from such a long distance away, he was casting an intrigued gaze toward the stronghold as if it were situated right before his eyes.

Its quite simple, the walls around the stronghold are very tall, but judging from the state of the bricks, they were only constructed within the past 20 years, by which time we had already entered the Elder Devil Realm, so this shouldnt be a trap laid by the Long Family patriarch, Han Li replied.

I see, I didnt notice that. In that case, should we search for another passageway? Zhu Guoer asked in a concerned manner.

Theres no need for that. Even the nearest spatial passageway to this one is several months away, and many mishaps could happen during that time. Generally speaking, even these massive strongholds will only be guarded by several devilish lords at most, and that wont be enough to stop us. The only matter of concern is the formations set up near the stronghold. If we were to be delayed by them, then it wouldnt be very easy to escape, Han Li said with furrowed brows.

Back when he had first entered the Elder Devil Realm, he had nine other Body Integration Stage beings with him, which was why they had been able to eradicate the restrictions in an instant to force their way into the passageway. However, he was now the only one left, and this stronghold was far more massive than the one they had infiltrated in the past, so the formations set up here naturally had to be more powerful as well.

The concern on Zhu Guoers face became even more pronounced upon hearing this, but she naturally didnt have any good ideas, either.

Right at this moment, Daoist Xie suddenly said, If you think these formations are rather troublesome, I have a secret technique that can help you instantly eradicate all of them.

Is that true? I would be truly grateful to you, Brother Xi. Han Li was ecstatic to hear this.

Theres no need to thank me. In order to unleash this secret technique, Ill have to use up close to half of the elixir you issued to me, so think about whether youd like me to go ahead, Daoist Xie replied in an expressionless manner.

Han Li faltered slightly upon hearing this before immediately replying, Thats not an issue! All I want is to be able to return safely to the Spirit Realm.

With that mysterious small vial at his disposal, he naturally wasnt concerned about this.

In that case, Im ready when you are. Also, its extremely taxing for me to use this ability, so my cultivation base will plummet significantly for a certain period of time after I use it. If we were to encounter any powerful enemies, Id only be able to ensure self-preservation, so I wont be able to assist you much, Daoist Xie replied.

Han Lis heart jolted slightly upon hearing this, and he carefully pondered the situation before reaffirming his own decision. Im capable of taking care of normal high-grade devilish beings on my own, and its not easy to run into Grand Ascension Stage Sacred Ancestors.

Daoist Xie merely nodded in response and remained silent.

Thus, they began to carefully formulate a specific plan for how they were going to execute the infiltration.

Night finally arrived, and a series of balls of white light appeared on the walls of the stronghold to illuminate the darkness.

Han Li was seated on the ground, and after ascertaining that not much had changed in the fortress compared to daytime using his spiritual sense, he stood up and sprang into action.

Daoist Xie swept a sleeve through the air to release a vast expanse of silver light, which swept up Han Li and Zhu Guoer, and the trio instantly vanished into thin air.

A short while later, Han Lis trio reappeared amid a flash of silver light in the air close to 10 kilometers away from the stronghold, and as soon as Han Li emerged, he raised a hand to summon the grey flying carriage again.

Zhu Guoer immediately flew onto the carriage in an obedient manner, while Daoist Xie sat down in mid-air with his legs crossed. He made a grabbing motion, and two arrows appeared in his hand, one golden and one silver. The pair of arrows then began to rapidly revolve, transforming into a pair of balls of light.

At the same time, Daoist Xies aura was almost completely concealed, and countless dark green spirit patterns appeared all over his entire body, creating a very peculiar sight to behold.

Bursts of Buddhist chants rang out from within the two balls of light formed by the arrows, and wisps of golden and silver light were quickly released before converging above his head.

A golden and silver ball of light with a diameter of around 10 feet quickly appeared, and it continued to expand rapidly.

The devilish guards on the walls of the stronghold had naturally discovered them right away, and the alarm was immediately raised while a group of around 40 devilish guards began to fly directly over to Han Li.

Han Li merely remained on the spot in a completely still manner, displaying no intention to stop the approaching guards.

Moments later, the group of devilish guards arrived, and their leader yelled from afar, Who are you? Dont you know that this is a restricted area where loitering is prohibited?

Restricted area? My apologies, but not only are we going to loiter here, were planning to take a look inside as well, Han Li replied with a nonchalant smile.

What? How dare you! Hold on, what is that man doing? Wait, your cultivation bases… The leader of the guards was initially furious upon hearing this, but his fury quickly gave way to shock as he swept his spiritual sense toward Han Li and Daoist Xie.

However, before he had a chance to do anything, Daoist Xies body shuddered slightly, and the two arrows before him instantly vanished into thin air, while the huge ball of light above him exploded amid a resounding boom.

Countless specks of golden and silver light were released in the wake of the explosion, and they were all pea-sized golden and silver runes.

The runes swept through the air light a torrential downpour, illuminating the entire sky as it hurtled directly toward the stronghold.

The devilish guards up ahead were the first to be struck by the storm of runes, and all of them were instantly destroyed amid howls of anguish.

A series of formations appeared around the stronghold in unison in the face of this storm of runes, and lights of different colors surged through the air alongside violent energy fluctuations.

However, the golden and silver runes were able to easily pierce through the restrictions, and within the span of just a few breaths, all of the restrictions were in tatters.

After releasing the ball of golden and silver light, Daoist Xies face paled significantly, and his aura plummeted straight out of the Grand Ascension Stage.

Lets go! Han Li immediately yelled as he entered the flying carriage, followed closely by Daoist Xie.

Han Li then took a deep breath, and he mustered up all of the magic power within his body before injecting it into the flying carriage underfoot.

The carriage shuddered slightly before screeching through the air as a streak of azure light, flying so quickly that only a faint azure shadow could be seen flashing through the night sky.

The remnants of the restriction around the stronghold were clearly unable to stop the flying carriage, and it quickly flew into the stronghold before hurtling toward the devilish cloud up above.

The entire stronghold had been plunged into complete turmoil at this point, and countless armored devilish beings rose up into the air. However, most of them were unable to even detect the presence of Han Li and the others, and only the Deity Transformation Stage and Spatial Tempering Stage high-grade devilish beings were able to discover the flying carriage.

All of them immediately tried to intercept the carriage, but there was no way theyd be able to catch up to it with their speed.

Right at this moment, several particularly powerful auras emerged from within the stronghold, and a ball of green flames, a gust of black wind, and a streak of crimson light shot forth in unison.

It was clear that the devilish lords in the stronghold had finally become involved.

However, Han Li paid no heed to this and continued to fly toward the black devilish cloud up above, then immediately rubbed his hands together before raising them up into the air.

Countless balls of golden light erupted out of his palms amid a string of rumbling thunderclaps, then instantly disappeared into the cloud.

In the next instant, an earth-shattering boom erupted within the cloud, accompanied by flashes of countless arcs of lightning.

The devilish cloud was no match for the golden lightning, and a massive area of empty space was instantly blasted into it.

Zhu Guoer stuck out her tongue in a sheepish display upon hearing this before falling silent. frewebovel.cm

The other reason I let Bao Hua go is that I dont want to continue to be caught up in her mess. Even though Liu Ji and Lan Pu retreated earlier, theres a very good chance that theyll come after Bao Hua again. Even though I foiled their plans, Im sure theyd prioritize hunting down Bao Hua over coming after me. After that ordeal, Bao Hua will only become more cautious, and itll be very difficult for Liu Ji and Lan Pu to corner her again, Han Li explained in a calm voice.

Zhu Guoers eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. Your wisdom is truly unmatched, Senior Han! We can take advantage of their conflict that theyre preoccupied with to return to the Spirit Realm!

Meanwhile, Daoist Xie remained standing in one corner of the flying carriage in complete silence.

Lets continue onward. Im assuming Liu Ji and Lan Pu will go after Bao Hua, but its not entirely impossible for them to come after us instead, Han Li said as he injected his magic power into the flying carriage again, and it began to fly toward the edge of the forest.

……

Meanwhile, countless kilometers away, Bao Hua was standing on the peak of a nondescript mountain. Her complexion had returned to normal, and there were no signs to indicate that she was injured in any way.

Standing behind her was the black-armored Heie. His aura was rather feeble, and his complexion was quite pale, but he was still standing tall like an immovable stone pillar.

The two of them stood on the mountain peak for over an hour without displaying any intention of leaving, seemingly waiting for something.

After almost another hour had passed, spatial fluctuations erupted in the distance, and a gust of yellow wind swept toward the mountain.

Bao Hus expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and in the next instant, the yellow winds subsided, revealing a humanoid figure that was enshrouded in yellow light.

I pay my respects to Mistress Bao Hua! I came here as quickly as I could, but I was still late by one day, please forgive me for my tardiness, the yellow figure said in a fearful manner as he extended a deep bow toward Bao Hua.

Youre not to blame, I originally had something else that I wished to discuss with you, and I didnt think that I would fall into Liu Ji and Lan Pus trap. Im going to have to hide in your abode for now. Your cultivation base has improved quite significantly since the last time I saw you, youre only one step away from becoming a Sacred Ancestor, Bao Hua remarked in an indifferent voice.

If you hadnt saved me all those years ago, Id already be dead, its an honor for me to be serving to you, Mistress. Liu Ji and Lan Pu are a pair of wily old foxes, but they definitely wouldnt suspect me. During these past years, Ive intentionally been expressing constant hostility toward you, and Ive always been on very good terms with those two, the yellow figure said in a respectful manner.

Looks like I made the right choice to summon you here. Lets go to your cave abode, Im sure Liu Ji and Lan Pu wouldnt give up so easily, Bao Hua said with a faint smile.

Yes, Mistress! Please come and rest on this flying treasure of mine, Ill take care of anyone we encounter along the way, the yellow figure replied as he raised a hand to release a medium-sized flying boat.

The boat was as pristine white as jade and was extremely intricately crafted. The identity of the boats owner was also depicted through several extremely eye-catching golden devilish characters on one side of the boat.

Bao Hua took a glance at the flying boat before giving a pleased nod, then flew into the cabin on the boat with Heie, upon which both of them began to meditate.

Even though some time had passed since their last battle, both of them were severely taxed and injured, so they naturally had to make use of all the time they possibly could to rest and recover.

The yellow figure also flew onto the boat, following which it flew away as a streak of white light, vanishing into the distance after just a few flashes.

……

Less than half a day later, spatial fluctuations erupted atop the same hill, and five people emerged out of thin air, two of which were none other than Lan Pu and the Liu Ji clone.

The two people beside Lan Pu bore a strong resemblance to her, and both of them were wearing robes of the same style, although one was red while the other was yellow.

Behind Liu Ji stood a short dwarf-like man in a set of daoist robes. He had a long goatee that was around half a foot in length, and a red wooden sword strapped to his back.

As soon as the five of them emerged, Lan Pu swept a sleeve through the air, releasing a ball of white light, within which was a small white leopard.

The leopard quickly flew around the mountain peak, sniffing around with its nose before flying back to Lan Pu and uttering a string of cries.

So Bao Hua really was here. On top of that, there was someone else with her aside from that black crocodile, Lan Pu said in a solemn voice as she stowed the small leopard away.

There was someone else? Could it be that the human brat came back to meet Bao Hua? Liu Ji asked as her expression darkened slightly.

Its not him, my Spirit Detection Leopard wouldve been able to identify his aura. Whoever it was, they used some type of secret technique to conceal their aura, but my Spirit Detection Leopard was still able to sense a faint residual aura thats somewhat familiar, so it should be someone Ive met before, Lan Pu replied.

Someone youve seen before? That means theyre most likely one of Bao Huas past allies from our holy realm. In that case, itll be quite troublesome to track her down, the short daoist priest standing behind Liu Ji said in a concerned manner.

Due to his short stature and long goatee, his appearance was rather comical, but everyone took him very seriously, and Lan Pu replied in an earnest manner, Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Fu, Bao Hua activated her Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain earlier, so she wouldve been taxed even further, and theres no way shed be able to recover her powers in the near future. As long as she hasnt left our holy realm, its not a matter of concern that shes hidden herself somewhere. She must currently be in hiding with the new person whos appeared, and the fact that her ally was able to arrive here so quickly indicates that theyre most likely a high-grade devilish being in the nearby area, I should be able to track them down with an exhaustive search.

Indeed, Sister Lan. Fellow Daoist Fu is my most trusted subordinate, and his powers are no lesser than those of this clone of mine. On top of that, youve brought along two of your most powerful clones as well, so theres no way Bao Hua will be able to escape from us again. This time, we have to make sure to hunt her down no matter what. Who do you plan on investigating first, Sister Lan? This is an extremely important matter, so Id rather employ a guilty until proven innocent system rather than risk letting the culprit run free, Liu Ji said as a cold look appeared in her eyes.

Well naturally have to start with those whove had some ties to Bao Hua in the past, theyll be the prime suspects, Lan Pu immediately replied, having clearly already considered this subject.

Ill have to trouble you to deploy more of your subordinates to temporarily shut down the teleportation formations in the important cities in this nearby area. Without any teleportation formations available, even if Bao Hua were to try and escape, she wouldnt be able to get very far, Liu Ji suggested.

Thats a good idea, Ill have it arranged right away. I have some connections with all of those who are in power in the nearby cities, and they should heed my call. Of course, if you were to apply pressure to them as a devilish matriarch, they would be even more inclined to follow our instructions, Lan Pu replied.

Thats not an issue, Ill enclose my own message with the messages that youll be sending out to those cities, Liu Ji immediately agreed.

Alright, then lets set everything into motion right away. Theres a devilish lord residing near this area whos a very prominent suspect, well begin our investigation with him. Hopefully, well find Bao Hua in his cave abode, Lan Pu said as a frosty tone crept into her voice.

After that, she swept a sleeve through the air to release a burst of blue light, and all five of them vanished on the spot.

……

Half a year passed by in the blink of an eye.

On an undulating mountain range situated in a secluded region of the Elder Devil Realm, there was a mountain that was surrounded by walls that were over 1,000 feet tall.

This was a stronghold that spanned an area in excess of five kilometers, and resembled a small city.

Standing atop the walls were groups of armed patrols, and judging from the lights of different colors flashing around the stronghold, it was clear that many formations and restrictions had been set up within it.

High up above the stronghold was a vast expanse of black devilish clouds, from within which astonishing energy fluctuations were being released.

Zhu Guoer was situated on a small mountain close to 100 kilometers away, staring into a copper mirror before her in a stunned manner. Has there been some type of mistake, Senior Han? Didnt you say that this node would only be loosely guarded?

The image on the surface of the copper mirror depicted none other than the giant stronghold, as well as the area around it.

So this is the Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain, it truly does possess unfathomable power. However, you currently shouldnt possess the ability to activate your Profound Heavenly Floral Tree, could it be because of that pill you just took? Lan Pu asked as a hint of amazement flashed through her eyes.

Indeed, the pill I just took is able to stimulate my potential to a certain extent, thereby allowing me to release the Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain again, Bao Hua replied in a calm voice.

So what? In your current state, youll only be able to unleash one or two more attacks with the Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain at most before it falls apart! Liu Ji said in a cold voice. frewenovel.com

Even a single attack will be enough, theres no way youll be able to oppose Fellow Daoist Xie and Fellow Daoist Han after I severely wound you, Bao Hua said in a nonchalant manner.

Quit bluffing, Sister Bao Hua! Do you really think I cant tell that youre already a spent force? If you really do unleash one final attack with this domain, not only will you exhaust all of your remaining magic power, the severity of your injuries will be exacerbated by severalfold, theres no way youd be willing to do something like this. Dont forget that youre a member of our holy race, if you fall into the hands of that human brat in a completely powerless state, you know whats going to happen to you, Liu Ji said as a cold look flashed through her eyes.

Han Lis eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this, but his expression remained completely unchanged.

I could say the same to you two. Youve only sent a clone here, but dont forget that Lan Pu is here in her true body. If you force me to unleash this final attack, Ill be sure to direct its power toward Lan Pu, and there would at least be a 30% to 40% chance that youll perish. Would you dare to make this gamble, Fellow Daoist Lan? Bao Hua asked with a calm smile.

Is that a threat? Lan Pu asked as her expression darkened drastically.

Perhaps so. How will you respond to it? Will you risk being killed and attack me alongside Liu Jis clone or settle this matter peacefully? Bao Hua continued.

A hesitant look appeared on Lan Pus face upon hearing this.

Liu Jis heart sank slightly at the sight of Lan Pus expression, and she hurriedly interjected, Dont tell me youre actually being fooled by Bao Huas bluff, Sister Lan. Setting aside whether she even has the power to unleash an attack with the Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain, even if she were capable of this, you and I will definitely be able to handle the attack together.

With the intervention of the golden crab and that human brat, our chances of securing victory had already dropped to only around 50%. Now that Bao Hua has released her Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain, our chances have slipped even further to only around 10% to 20%, I dont think its wise to gamble on such bad odds. If your true body were here, perhaps I would be willing to take a risk with you, but as things currently are… Lan Pus voice trailed off here as she shook her head, but it was already quite clear what her intentions were.

But if we let Bao Hua go, shell come back for us once she recovers her powers, and you and I will both be in grave danger! Liu Ji urged.

Hmph, our holy realm is currently in the midst of its tribulation so who knows what things are going to be like in the future? On top of that, Im not far away from my next heavenly tribulation, Im not going to risk jeopardizing my chances of transcending that tribulation by taking a risk here, Lan Pu harrumphed coldly in response.

But if we can kill Bao Hua, youll receive a copy of the Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain cultivation method and Bao Huas Lightningward Tag, you wont have to fear your future tribulation then!

I understand whats at stake here, but it would be downright insane to take such a massive risk with such terrible odds. Ive already made my decision and instructed my clones not to come here, if you still insist on battling them, then you can do it on our own. Bao Hua, release me from your Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain, Lan Pu said in a calm manner.

Liu Jis expression darkened even further upon hearing this.

Youve made a wise choice, Fellow Daoist Lan, Bao Hua said as the tree in her hand shuddered slightly, and Lan Pu found her surroundings abruptly blur before she was teleported out of the Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain.

After taking one last glance at Bao Hua and Han Li, as well as the Liu Ji clone, Lan Pu immediately turned and flew away as a streak of blue light without any hesitation.

Liu Ji could see that the situation had become hopeless for her, and she gritted her teeth as she said, Alright, Ill concede on this occasion. Let me out of your Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain, Bao Hua.

You think Id just let you leave? A hint of killing intent flashed through Bao Huas eyes.

Right at this moment, Han Li suddenly said, Let her go.

Bao Hua was rather taken aback to hear this, but a thought then immediately occurred to her, and she smiled as she agreed, Alright, shes just a clone anyway, seeing as you want to let her go, Id be happy to oblige.

After that, the tree that she was holding instantly vanished into her body as a ball of pink light, and the pink world around them also faded into nothingness.

Liu Ji couldnt help but turn toward Han Li with a perplexed expression, clearly befuddled by Han Lis unexpected gesture.

However, it would clearly be inadvisable for her to linger in this place for any longer, so she could only repress her curiosity and also fly away after giving Han Li a parting smile.

Han Li and Bao Hua looked on as she departed, and the former heaved an internal sigh.

Under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldnt have missed such an ideal opportunity to kill a Sacred Ancestor clone. In fact, he wouldve most likely joined in on the act. However, he didnt dare to do anything to this Liu Ji clone for the sake of Violet Spirit.

If too many of Liu Jis clones were to be destroyed, perhaps it wouldnt be long until Violet Spirit would have to fill in for one of them.

As such, Han Li naturally wasnt going to take this risk, and he was also doing Liu Ji a favor here, which would hopefully make it easier for him to negotiate with her when he returned for Violet Spirit in the future.

Lets go, Brother Xie. Those two may have retreated for now, but if they suddenly turn back, Senior Bao Hua wont be able to take a second Heavenly Soul Pill, Han Li said.

The giant golden crab nodded before reverting back into its human form amid countless bolts of silver lightning.

After that, he immediately flew onto one corner of the flying carriage.

You know of the Heavenly Soul Pill? Bao Hua was rather taken aback to hear this.

Of course Im aware of it. Ive tried to refine the pill for myself in the past, but Ive been unable to find several of the ingredients required, so I could only give upon on it. However, I know of the effects of the pill, after nullifying all of the oncoming attacks with your Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain, you most likely wouldnt have been able to muster up a second attack, so you were only bluffing just now, right? Han Li chuckled.

That Heavenly Soul Pill was something that I stumbled upon by chance, not something that I refined. As for whether I possess the power to unleash a second attack, thats up to your imagination, Bao Hua replied in an indifferent manner before also flying onto Han Lis flying carriage and stood only several feet away from him.

Han Li was quite startled by this, but he didnt take any evasive measures and merely spurred the flying carriage into motion.

A day later, the flying carriage was hovering in the air above a lush forest, and Han Li was standing on the carriage, pondering something with a solemn expression.

At this point, Bao Hua was already gone.

Senior, is the information provided to you by Senior Bao Hua authentic? Will we be able to find an entrance to the Small Spirit Sky using the method she provided? Zhu Guoer asked in a careful manner.

Following her ordeals in the Elder Devil Realm, she was naturally feeling very homesick.

The information is most likely genuine, Im sure someone of her status wouldnt lie about something like this, Han Li replied with a reassuring smile.

Zhu Guoer was ecstatic to hear this, and a joyful smile appeared on her face. Thats great! Ill be able to return home one day then. But Senior Han, are you really just going to let her go like this?

Are you saying I should take her with me back to the Spirit Realm? Han Li asked as he raised an eyebrow.

Zhu Guoer shook her head as she replied, No, but in her current state, Im sure you wouldve been able to kill her.

Do you really think I didnt want to do that? I simply lack the confidence to do so. She was once a devilish matriarch, who knows if she has some life-saving trump cards up her sleeve? I have no interest in losing my life over something like this, Han Li said with a wry smile.

Zhu Guoer was looking on with her mouth agape in shock, clearly not expecting Han Li to instruct the giant golden crab to attack the formation as soon as he left it.

A faint smile appeared on Han Lis face, and he said, Thank you for your help, Brother Xie, I wouldnt have been able to identify the weakest point of this formation and destroy it with a single attack on my own.

If this were a complete Six Extremes Azure Lightning Formation or if I were in the formation, then I wouldnt have been able to do this, either, but under these circumstances, it was quite an easy task, just dont forget to issue me the Faux Immortal Elixir for this, the giant golden crab said in a nonchalant manner.

Rest assured, Brother Xie, I definitely wont owe you any elixir, Han Li replied with a smile.

Regardless of how much elixir you can provide me with in the future, as soon as all of the elixir youve supplied me with to a certain point has been exhausted, I wont do your bidding any further unless you supply me with more, the golden crab said in a brusque manner.

Alright, seeing as youre unwilling to compromise, well stick to our original agreement, but the elixir Ive issued to you thus far should be able to sustain you for some time, Han Li said with a wry smile.

The giant golden crab was very intelligent, but as soon as the elixir was mentioned, it would immediately become completely unyielding and unwilling to compromise.

On this occasion, the golden crab didnt say anything and merely looked down with a cold look in its eyes.

The massive hole that had been blown into the formation was quickly sealing, and the sea of mist down below was beginning to become concealed again.

Right at this moment, spatial fluctuations erupted beside the flying carriage, and Bao Hua emerged amid a flash of pink light.

Her face was pale, and as soon as she appeared, she took a glance at Han Li before immediately producing a small red vial, which she tipped a pill out of, then quickly swallowed.

Before Han Li had a chance to say anything to her, the illusionary restriction down below completely vanished in a flash, revealing the sea of white mist in its entirety.

Almost at the exact same moment, two enraged cries rang out from within the white mist in unison.

Two humanoid figures, one golden and one blue, rose up into the air above the sea of mist, and they were naturally none other than Liu Ji and Lan Pu, both of whom were appraising Han Li with cold resentment in their eyes.

We were planning to let you off the hook, but it seems that youre determined to get yourself killed! Liu Ji said in a frosty voice as she tossed her silver buddha statue up into the air.

The statue instantly swelled to over 100 feet tall, and black devilish flames appeared all over its body before converging to form a black devilish beast that resembled both a cow and a horse.

The devilish beasts entire body was comprised of black flames, and it had a pair of thick curled horns on its head. It had a long black mane around its neck, and it presented a very intimidating sight to behold.

Meanwhile, Lan Pu didnt even bother to say anything to Han Li before rubbing her hands together, upon which wisps of blue light surged out of her body, forming a giant mountain of ice that was several thousand feet tall around her.

At the same time, the giant blue turtle beneath her feet let loose a low roar, and its body rapidly expanded to a size that was comparable to that of the ice mountain. Crimson light flashed within its eyes, and it was releasing a fearsome late-Body Integration Stage aura.

A solemn look appeared on Han Lis face upon seeing this, and he immediately transformed into a giant golden ape that was around 70 feet tall amid a flash of golden light.

After that, he made a grabbing motion with both hands, and his pair of extreme mountains appeared in his grasp.

At the same time, golden and green light flashed on either side of him as the Provenance Golden Body and immortal zoysia spirit body emerged.

After undergoing a complete transformation in the Spirit Cleansing Pond, Han Li was confident that he would be able to take on a devilish matriarch clone with the assistance of his two clones.

As for Sacred Ancestor Lan Pu, she would obviously be left to the golden crab.

He wasnt expecting the giant crab to be able to kill a veteran Sacred Ancestor with ease, but it should at least be able to keep her occupied.

A rumbling thunderclap erupted from the giant golden crabs body, and countless arcs of silver lightning instantly sprang forth. The crab then slammed two of its giant pincers together, and two balls of golden light appeared between them.

Even though the balls of light werent unleashed right away, the formidable power emanating from them was very alarming to Lan Pu and Liu Ji, and they couldnt help but falter in their attacks in a display of wariness.

Do you really want to battle me here? Regardless of the outcome of our battle, there wont be much of a chance that youll be able to capture Senior Bao Hua, Han Li said he cast a quick glance toward Bao Hua.

He didnt know what type of pill that Bao Hua had just taken, but during this brief period of respite, a hint of color had returned to her cheeks, and her magic power fluctuations had also somewhat recovered.

Even if theres only a sliver of a chance, we cant afford to let it slip. If you dont want to perish in this battle that doesnt even concern you, you can still leave now, and we wont stop you, we can even get in touch with Yuan Yan and tell him to withdraw the Immortal Vanquishing Order that he issued so you can return safely to the Spirit Realm. Otherwise, even if you can survive this battle, Ill be issuing an additional Immortal Vanquishing Order against you, Liu Ji threatened.

Ive already chosen to become involved, so I certainly wont back down now. As for the Immortal Vanquishing Order, one has already been issued against me, so theres no reason to fear a second one, Han Li said in an indifferent voice.

He had already decided to return to the Spirit Realm, so he naturally wasnt concerned about the threat that was being raised.

With his current powers, even if he couldnt defeat the true body of a devilish patriarch, there was still a good chance that he would be able to ensure self-preservation.

Alright, seeing as youre determined to meddle in this affair, Im going to keep you here even if it means I have to sacrifice this clone! Sister Lan, you face the golden crab for now, Ill unleash a secret technique to trap them here, and we can kill them once your clones arrive, Liu Ji said as a hint of killing intent flashed through her eyes.

Alright, my clones and subordinates will get here in 10 minutes at most, Sacred Ancestor Lan Pu replied in a cold voice before raising her hands and slowly thrusting them toward the giant golden crab.

The ice mountain around her instantly disintegrated into specks of blue light that vanished into thin air, but in the next instant, the specks of blue light appeared all around the giant golden crab before forming an ice mountain again to trap the crab within.

Meanwhile, the huge blue turtle beneath Lan Pus feet opened its mouth to expel a burst of white Qi, which wound itself around the ice mountain like a rope several times in a flash, thereby further bolstering the mountain.

Instead of directly facing the giant golden crab in battle, Sacred Ancestor Lan Pu was intending to merely temporarily trap it.

Right at this moment, Liu Ji made a hand seal, and the giant silver buddha before her thrust its hands toward both Han Li and Bao Hua. The black fiery devilish beast behind it opened its cavernous mouth, releasing a wall of black flames over 1,000 feet tall that swept directly up into the air.

Bao Hua and Han Li were situated right under the black wall of flames, and Han Li harrumphed coldly upon seeing this before preparing to toss his pair of extreme mountains up into the air.

At the same time, the two clones beside him were also preparing for battle.

However, right at this moment, Bao Hua suddenly heaved a forlorn sigh.

As she did so, she raised a hand and gently blew out a ball of pink light.

Upon closer inspection, one would discover that the ball of light was comprised of countless runes, each of which was the size of a grain of rice. The ball of runes only rotated on the spot for a brief moment before exploding on its own, and countless runes began to dance through the surrounding air like pink flower petals, creating a spectacular sight to behold.

A wisp of green light flashed at the very center, then blurred before transforming into a small green tree that was around a foot tall, and it quickly began to expand at a rate that was discernible to the naked eye.

Within the span of a single breath, it had grown to become a full-sized tree, and its roots had fused as one with Bao Huas hand. The trees leaves were glowing with faint green light, and it could be seen that it was constantly absorbing magic power from within her body.

At the same time, the tree suddenly blurred, and specks of pink light began to appear all over its branches, then instantly transformed into countless flower buds.

A rich floral scent instantly wafted through the entire space, and the area within a radius of over 10,000 feet had been transformed into a sea of pink, as if it had become an individual world of its own.

What was even more incredible was that the ice mountain, white Qi, silver palms, and wall of fire were all instantly destroyed within the sea of pink light with a casual wave of Bao Huas hand.

Profound Heavenly Spirit Domain! Liu Ji exclaimed as her heart immediately sank.
