The flying knife that shot out was precisely the one refined from black marrow drill. The speed of this flying knife was considered the fastest among Han Li's magic treasures.

No sooner had it been released than it fiercely plunged into the wind orb.

It was as if a bowl of cold water had been poured into a sizzling oil pan! The moment the flying knife vanished inside, the wind orb suddenly came alive. The black vortex within it began to tremble rapidly and deform, emitting a rumbling sound. The surface of the orb also became irregularly bumpy, and the chaotic spiritual pressure nearby was like a volcano on the verge of eruption, ready to explode at any moment.

This scene brought the black-armored woman's triumphant laughter to an abrupt halt. The silver-haired woman, after a moment's thought, seemed to recall something. Her beautiful eyes lit up with joy, and she let out a long sigh of relief.

“Impossible! How could a single flying knife stir up the Black Wind Banner?” the black-armored woman blurted out in disbelief. But seeing the wind orb above her about to burst, she could no longer wait. She immediately formed hand seals, then lightly tapped the black orb of light floating in her hand.

An inconspicuous gray magical spell shot into it.

With a soft pop, the orb of light trembled slightly, then immediately jetted a black pillar of light from within. It vanished instantly into the wind orb in the air, and the previously trembling orb instantly stabilized.

Han Li's expression darkened. The humanoid puppet, however, also activated its spell, causing the black marrow drill flying knife, which had entered the wind orb, to rapidly expand in size. Amidst flashing black light, it began to wildly collide within the wind orb, making the recently stabilized orb unstable once more.

“You're seeking death!” Seeing this, the black-armored woman was naturally furious. Without a second thought, she made a grabbing motion in the direction of Han Li, and an immense spiritual pressure instantly descended upon his head.

Han Li's heart tensed. Just as he was about to cast a spell to dodge, Linglong, floating on the altar, acted first.

She lightly slapped her hand towards Han Li's direction.

With a thunderous crash, a black demonic claw and a milky-white giant hand collided in mid-air, exploding. Immediately, several streaks of black and white light intertwined, emitting a piercing whooshing sound.

“With me here, do you think you can easily kill him?” the silver-haired woman chuckled lightly, her star-like eyes fixed on the black-armored woman without blinking.

The black-armored woman's face was ashen; she said nothing.

She clearly knew that although the silver-haired woman had no physical body and had previously taken a significant blow from her main body's divine sense, she was not easily defeated. To truly defeat this formidable enemy would require a considerable amount of time and effort, certainly not something to be achieved easily.

“I originally wanted to wait a little longer, to have a bit more certainty, but it seems I can't wait any longer,” the black-armored woman murmured after glancing at the huge wind orb in the air, which seemed on the verge of losing control, and taking a deep breath. Suddenly, her body flickered, and her form dispersed like light smoke in the wind, vanishing without a trace from her spot.

Linglong was startled, but immediately her eyes flashed with fierce light. Her full head of silver hair suddenly shot out without wind, countless silver threads engulfing a certain void near the wind orb.

But before the silver threads could descend, a black mist surged out from below, instantly condensing and transforming into a dual-headed black wolf, approximately 3.3 meters in size.

Upon seeing the sky full of silver threads, the wolf's expression changed, seemingly taken by surprise. But then, a look of disdain flashed in its eyes, and it lightly shook its body. Instantly, a sound like powerful bows and crossbows echoed from its spine, followed by a large spray of fine, dark, glistening rays that shot out, directly meeting the dense silver threads.

The two forces intertwined and collided in the void, erupting with a harsh sound like clashing weapons. Seizing this opportunity, the black wolf darted forward and plunged into the wind orb.

The wind orb instantly trembled violently, and the roaring sound vanished in an instant. Both its interior and exterior became calm simultaneously.

Almost simultaneously, Han Li immediately felt through the puppet that the originally agile and flexible black short blade had suddenly become sluggish and slow, as if it had fallen into an inescapable swamp.

Han Li's heart tensed. With a thought of his divine sense, the humanoid puppet instantly unleashed its full spiritual power, intending to forcibly retrieve the demonic marrow flying knife. However, a chilling snort came from within the wind orb, and with a tremor, the flying knife immediately lost its connection with the puppet's divided consciousness.

This shock was truly immense.

Without time for further thought, he rubbed his hands together, then fiercely flung them up. Two massive golden arcs, thick as bowls, shot out. At the same time, the numerous flying swords hovering in front of him trembled. After successive claps of thunder, countless golden arcs immediately sprang from all the flying swords, and the electrical arcs instantly coalesced into a golden electrical dragon, over twenty zhang (approximately 66 meters) long.

This dragon's body flickered with electrical light, and as it clawed and gnashed, a low rumbling thunder emanated from within it.

Aside from the last bit of lightning used to power the Wind-Thunder Wings, Han Li actually activated all the Demon-Dispelling Divine Thunder from the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords at once. The sheer power of this display made everyone turn their heads in astonishment.

Han Li wasted no time. The moment the electrical dragon formed, it aggressively lunged towards the much smaller black orb of light below.

Unlike the massive wind orb above, this black orb was entirely condensed from pure demonic energy. Even with any strange properties, being struck by so much Demon-Dispelling Divine Thunder would instantly make it vanish into thin air.

The silver-haired woman, currently in a stalemate manipulating her silver threads against the fine black rays, couldn't help but let out a soft gasp upon seeing the electrical dragon.

Although she had integrated Silvermoon's primordial spirit, it was her first time witnessing such a full-force activation of Demon-Dispelling Divine Thunder. The might of the electrical dragon somewhat surprised her as well.

Within the wind orb, the dual-headed black wolf, which had trapped the demonic marrow flying knife with a mass of translucent gelatinous substance, was also greatly alarmed by this. Without time to think, its eyes turned crimson, and its two wolf heads simultaneously spat out two blood-red beams of light directly.

The electrical dragon and blood beams collided in an instant, causing electrical arcs to scatter wildly and a bloody stench to dissipate. They had actually managed to forcefully block such a large amount of Demon-Dispelling Divine Thunder.

“You dare to destroy my true body!” Upon seeing the bloody light beams, Linglong's eyebrows shot up in fury!

The blood beams were, in fact, spurted out by the clone of Origin Separating Holy Ancestor, directly activating the essence blood of the silver wolf's body. How could this not enrage the silver-haired woman, the original owner of the body?

“You're about to be annihilated, and you still have the mind to worry about this body?” the black-armored woman's cold laugh came from within the wind orb, though her voice sounded greatly weakened.

Upon hearing this, the anger on Linglong's face vanished, replaced by silence. “Don't be so arrogant. Your divine sense cultivation is merely at the Soul Transformation stage. What kind of treasure is a Heavenly Spiritual Treasure? Do you really think you can detonate the Black Wind Banner? Even if you detonate it, whether it can break the seal is another matter entirely.”

“Whether I can do it, you'll find out soon enough,” the black-armored woman said with a sinister smile, seeing that the light orb below had finally sprayed all its demonic energy into the wind orb. She then immediately unleashed her divine abilities.

The entire wind orb emitted dazzling black light, and a sharp wailing sound rose. All the internal vortices strangely merged into one, forming a gigantic vortex over ten zhang (approximately 33 meters) in diameter. Black light flickered within, and the figure of the dual-headed giant wolf appeared at the center of the vortex. Its two heads simultaneously spat out black strange light, wrapping around a pitch-black small banner, which was precisely the spiritual treasure, the “Black Wind Banner.”

As the vortex formed, an astonishing spiritual pressure emanated from within, accompanied by streams of five-colored radiant light.

After the radiant light swept through, specks of white light appeared in the nearby space, flying into the center of the vortex, growing in number and creating an astonishing spectacle.

And the silver lotus formed by the Eight Spirits Ruler seemed to sense something. Its spiritual light unusually contracted, and it reverted to a green wooden ruler. Then, with a low hum, it shot upwards, surrounded by eight illusory spirit beasts, vanishing into the dense clouds in the sky in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this situation, Linglong's expression instantly changed drastically. Without hesitation, she formed hand seals and opened her mouth to spray out a circular disk, which was precisely the “Reverse Star Plate.” With a flick of her finger at this treasure, it immediately spun rapidly, transforming into several feet in size.

The silver-haired woman's jade-like hand pressed her five fingers lightly onto the back of the disk. Immediately, an unusually crystal-clear light emanated from her entire body, and the golden starlight on the disk flared brightly, as if countless stars were rapidly gushing out from its center.

Upon seeing this, the dual-headed black wolf in the black vortex showed disdain in all four of its eyes, seemingly not considering the woman's actions at all.

At this moment, after large swaths of white light surged into the vortex, the space near the vortex began to hum. Some areas even started to twist and deform, as if a flat piece of white paper was suddenly crumpling. The closer to the vortex, the more pronounced the spatial distortion.

Seeing this, Han Li gasped, having witnessed the terrifying power of spatial rifts. He immediately flickered, shooting towards the edge of this distorted space without a word, his humanoid puppet following him like a shadow. Of course, as he acted, he didn't forget to transmit a few words with slightly parted lips.

Ling and Lin Yinping, the two women who were locked in an intense battle with the three-headed demonic creature formed from the big-headed eccentric, both changed their expressions almost simultaneously. Without a word, their bodies shot backward, vanishing in a flash as they fled.

The Ten Thousand Year Corpse Bear and Immortal Qimiao had naturally heard the conversation between the black wolf and Linglong long ago. Seeing the black vortex's bizarre nature, they naturally also understood the dire situation. As soon as the two women acted, the human and the demon immediately transformed into a bloody light and a green rainbow, flying away to escape.

Suddenly, there was no sign of any enemy. This caused the three-headed demonic creature to pause in surprise, but its body, moving like thunder, immediately flickered. The next moment, it eerily appeared in front of Immortal Qimiao's escaping light. With a swing of its six weapons, waves of black light and loud explosions erupted, forcibly intercepting Immortal Qimiao.

Immortal Qimiao was naturally filled with shock and anger. She had pushed her seven treasures to their limit, transforming them into seven endlessly rolling orbs of light to desperately attack, while her body constantly darted and flashed, trying to shake off the demonic creature.

However, whether it was because the big-headed eccentric had been transformed into a demonic creature for too short a time, or if there were inherent drawbacks when a human was transformed into an ancient demon, this demonic creature seemed to have impaired intelligence. It appeared to have fixated solely on the middle-aged scholar, continuously teleporting without regard for its own magical power, thus tightly entangling Immortal Qimiao. She was unable to move too far from the altar.

The middle-aged scholar's heart sank.
