Chapter 1079: Sealing

After a blood-colored light beam struck the barrier, Han Li, already prepared, waved the Three-Aura Flame with one hand. Three-colored flames and a giant sword energy immediately shot out in succession.

The lightning-fire bow in the humanoid puppet's hand also released a shower of sparks, all hitting the same point.

Finally, after twisting, the barrier was forcefully shattered by the immense power. A large hole instantly appeared, and streams of demonic energy surged out.

Yin Yue let out a soft cry, and her figure, enveloped in a snowy light, flew in swiftly. Han Li's Wind-Thunder Wings unfurled behind him, and he too instantly entered the space within a silver glow.

The moment Han Li appeared, countless demonic energies rolled in. He frowned, and with a thought, the Yuan-Gang Shield he was holding in his other hand flew out from his sleeve. It flashed once, and a layer of silver light formed, protecting him.

As the dark demonic energy touched the shield, its surface immediately emitted a sizzling, corrosive sound. This caused the protective spiritual light to dim slightly.

Seeing this, Han Li's brows furrowed.

When he had previously delved deep into the Myriad Demon Abyss in the Boundless Sea, the demonic energy there was not as terrifying as this. Unfortunately, his Evil-Ward Thunder was nearly depleted, and the protective shield formed by the Yuan-Gang Shield apparently couldn't last long in this demonic energy. He could only seek a swift resolution.

Thinking this, Han Li glanced sideways at Yin Yue.

She was now enveloped in a blood light formed by that blood blade, and the demonic energy continuously swirled around her, unable to get too close. It seemed her borrowing this blade from the Corpse Bear was not without reason.

Yin Yue called out and immediately shot towards the center of the space. Han Li, with a flicker of his body, flew upwards, his escape light gradually disappearing as he concealed his tracks.

At this moment, Yin Yue's soft laughter came from the direction of the distant altar, followed by several wolf howls, and then the cold voice of the black-armored woman.

"Hmph! Since you dared to return, it's just as well. I, the Holy Ancestor, shall demonize you!"

As these words fell, a series of violent explosions erupted.

Han Li's spirits lifted, and he quietly flew towards the original altar.

In a short while, he appeared in the thick clouds, looking down coldly.

At this moment, his Bright-Sight Spirit Eyes ability was operating at its peak. Without being intentionally blocked by the Holy Ancestor's clone, he could clearly see the situation below, even through the dark demonic energy.

He saw that where the altar once stood, there was now a black skull over a hundred zhang wide. Streams of demonic energy continuously gushed out from it. Inside, it was dark and unfathomable.

Above this skull, a blood-colored light and a black light intertwined and flickered continuously. The two frequently emitted bursts of explosive sounds, and the immense spiritual pressure they unleashed caused the surrounding demonic energy to churn like two fierce dragons fighting intensely, overturning rivers and seas. For a time, it was unclear who held the upper hand.

Seeing that Yin Yue was unharmed, Han Li felt a little relieved. With blue light flickering in his pupils, he scanned the vicinity of the black hole.

Although the previous space explosion completely destroyed the altar, the two stone tablets refined from the Spirit Jade of Pure Light, given their material properties, should not easily disappear. One of these tablets should be used to activate the Heavenly Crystal Tablet.

Han Li didn't waste much time. In a moment, using his x-ray vision, he successively discovered the two stone tablets beneath a pile of rubble. One of them still had a small remnant of the Dragon Seal embedded in it, while the other lay intact.

Han Li was overjoyed. He glanced at the struggling black light and blood light, then immediately activated his concealment technique again, suppressing his aura to the extreme, and quietly descended.

His descent was silent; the fighting demonic entities did not notice him at all.

Once his feet landed steadily on a pile of rubble, Han Li flipped his hand, and a jade Ruyi scepter appeared. Under a faint glow, a weak yellow light flickered on its surface, and Han Li's entire body mysteriously sank.

When he finally grasped the stone tablet, the weight in his heart lightened somewhat.

Han Li didn't hesitate for a moment. With a thought of his divine sense, a blue light sphere shot out from his storage pouch at his waist—it was the Heavenly Crystal Tablet.

Looking at this object, only about half a foot long, Han Li tossed the jade Ruyi scepter above his head. With a grasp in the air, he drew the object into his hand, while holding the stone tablet tightly with his other hand, and infused spiritual power into the blue stone tablet.

The stone tablet trembled slightly, and its entire body shimmered with spiritual light, appearing extraordinarily brilliant.

With a serious expression, Han Li gently pressed the crystal tablet onto the large stone tablet. Instantly, the stone tablet yielded like tofu, and the crystal tablet silently merged into it.

Before Han Li could show a happy expression, an anomaly occurred.

The stone tablet immediately lit up with a layer of blue light, then, as if weighed down by an immense force, it sank downwards, directly detaching from Han Li's hand and plunging into the ground. Half of the stone tablet became embedded in the earth, standing upright.

The upper half emitted a buzzing sound.

A furious roar suddenly echoed above the black hole.

Han Li's heart tensed. Without thinking, he pointed at the Yuan-Gang Shield, and the light shield rapidly expanded several times.

Almost simultaneously, a black light beam flashed and shot towards him.

After a loud bang, a massive light sphere exploded. A large expanse of black mist instantly engulfed an area of over ten zhang. Loose stones rapidly disintegrated into nothingness within the black light. The silver light shield was enveloped by the blackness beneath it.

Han Li trembled continuously within the black light, the silver and black colors distinctly separate!

Han Li's expression changed slightly. He cast several spells onto the light shield consecutively. Immediately, the shield's surface became extraordinarily smooth, and most of the blackness was slid away. The silver shield finally stabilized again.

And the Yuan-Sha Holy Ancestor's clone, from afar, only managed to unleash this one attack before being entangled by Yin Yue again.

Otherwise, with one or two more strikes, the protective shield would surely have collapsed.

But at this point, the two-headed black wolf became furiously enraged, no longer dodging Yin Yue's attacks. Black light continuously spewed from its mouth, raising the nearby demonic energy several zhang high. All of it swirled towards Yin Yue, appearing willing to suffer great loss of essence again to repel Yin Yue first.

However, doing so now was clearly a bit late.

The ground suddenly underwent an astonishingly violent tremor. From various corners, dozens of light pillars erupted from the ground with astonishing roars, transforming into huge stone pillars several tens of zhang tall.

Each stone pillar shimmered with spiritual light, and thick spiritual rings of various colors simultaneously appeared on their surfaces, rapidly revolving.

An incredible scene unfolded.

As those spiritual rings began to rotate, the dark demonic energy that had permeated the space immediately surged towards them like moths to a flame. At the same time, countless thin strands of light appeared high above the black hole, one after another, densely packed like a spiderweb.

In the blink of an eye, a massive, shimmering spiritual mass formed, so large it resembled a small mountain!

Seeing this, Han Li naturally knew that the backup formation had activated. Without hesitation, he continued to pour spiritual power into the stone tablet.

The spiritual rings on the stone tablet immediately thickened, absorbing demonic energy at an even more astonishing speed.

In just a few breaths, most of the demonic energy in the air was absorbed, disappearing into the stone pillars.

Consequently, the two-headed black wolf, which had relied on the demonic energy and Yin Yue for confrontation, was now at a disadvantage.

The black light wolf howled incessantly but was forced to retreat step by step by the blood light.

Han Li's heart relaxed. He formed a hand seal and cast another spell towards the stone tablet.

The stone tablet emitted a low hum, and then the milky-white spiritual mass suspended above the altar fiercely dropped downwards. Before it even approached the black hole, its astonishing spiritual pressure startled the two-headed black wolf still entangled in battle. Disregarding its entanglement with Yin Yue, it immediately unleashed its escape light and darted outwards.

Yin Yue snorted coldly. With a flicker of her body, she vanished from thin air.

Once the spiritual mass descended, milky-white light instantly filled the entire hole. After the spiritual light converged, the black hole disappeared without a trace. In its place appeared an extraordinarily clear barrier, resealing the demonic energy beneath it.

The black wolf, which was the Yuan-Sha Holy Ancestor's clone, naturally knew that things had gone very wrong upon seeing this.

But as its gaze swept, it immediately fell upon the stone tablet next to the seal.

Having used the Dragon Seal before, the wolf almost immediately guessed the profound secret within. Its face turned ferocious. After a low growl from its wolf head, its figure became indistinct within the black light. Then, its body moved, transforming simultaneously into three identical wolf shadows, rushing directly towards Han Li and the stone tablet.

A ball of blood light exploded beside Han Li. A vast sea of blood materialized out of thin air amid the spraying blood light, then spread outwards in all directions.

Caught off guard amidst the thick bloody scent, the three wolf shadows were momentarily swept into the blood sea, trapped within.

Almost simultaneously, a silver light appeared above the blood sea. After a thunderous roar, countless sparks shot out from the silver light, overwhelmingly covering the three wolf shadows from above and below.

The three wolf shadows were startled. They raised their heads and necks, spewing out black mist, which formed a light curtain to block the sparks.

Han Li's eyes flickered with cold light. He flipped his palm, and the Three-Flame Fan appeared in his hand. He fiercely fanned it towards the black wolves.

Immediately, with a clear cry, three firebirds, each only about a foot long, shot out from the fan simultaneously. They flew straight towards the three black wolves. Before they even reached them, the intense heat already caused the surrounding sea of fire to steam.

At the same time, one of the black wolves showed a panicked expression, while the other two remained expressionless.

"Good!" Yin Yue exclaimed in delight upon seeing this. She immediately formed a hand seal. Her body rolled, transforming within the silver light into a giant silver wolf over a zhang tall, charging directly towards the black wolf that had shown a flaw.

Upon seeing Yin Yue also transform into a giant wolf, the Yuan-Sha Holy Ancestor's clone's mind flashed, recalling something. It immediately cried out in panic, "You want to use soul devouring?! Don't even think about it!"

The wolf then took a deep breath and exhaled abruptly, a blood-red mist instantly spraying out, transforming into blood-red flames that enveloped itself. The surrounding blood sea, upon contact with these blood flames, melted like ice in spring, dissolving and parting.

The wolf instantly regained its freedom. Its body flickered with black light, and it shot upwards into the air.

But as its figure had only fled about ten zhang, a sudden thunderous roar came from above its head, followed by a silver arc appearing out of thin air. Before the wolf could change its escape direction in surprise, countless blue threads shot out from the silver arc. With a flash of spiritual light, they bound the wolf tightly.
