Chapter 1513: Great Battle with the Dark Thunder Beast

A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Volume 9: The Hundred Races of the Spirit Realm

With several booming sounds, Han Li unleashed his Demon Subduing Divine Lightning once more. After the Nether Lightning Beast's body paused momentarily, it trembled, and three golden flashes shot out from it. These were precisely three mature Gold Devouring Beetles!

The Nether Lightning Beast had just gleefully swallowed several golden arcs when it saw the three golden beetles flying towards it. It was momentarily stunned, but then opened its mouth nonchalantly. A silver arc shot out, flickering and splitting into three projectiles that struck the golden beetles. After three thunderous blasts, the golden beetles were engulfed by lightning. However, the next moment, the Nether Lightning Beast's pair of golden eyes narrowed in surprise. As the lightning dissipated, the three spirit insects not only hadn't turned to ash, but their bodies had instead grown several times larger, and they ferociously lunged towards the beast.

Although the Nether Lightning Beast's intelligence couldn't compare to that of an average human, having cultivated to such a level, its intellect certainly wasn't low. Upon realizing the unusual nature of these insects, it immediately stopped being careless. It slapped at the air with a claw wreathed in electric arcs. Instantly, three streaks of azure claw light shot out, rapidly expanding in size before striking the golden beetles head-on. After a burst of ear-splitting shrieks, the claw lights exploded, and the golden beetles were instantly submerged within the azure glow.

Blasts of astonishing spiritual wind dispersed in all directions, absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth. The nearby space seemed on the verge of collapsing.

The Nether Lightning Beast seemed full of confidence in this attack and no longer bothered to check the result. A silver arc flashed on its body, and it was about to shoot out again, eager to pursue Han Li.

However, after several buzzing sounds emanated from within the azure glow, the beast froze, its eyes revealing an unbelievably human-like expression of shock.

Just then, specks of golden light flashed within the azure glow, and the three golden beetles shot out. In a few blinks, they were already several zhang in front of the Nether Lightning Beast. Their bodies glowed brilliantly, showing no signs of injury whatsoever. The Nether Lightning Beast was truly startled, but this also ignited a fierce resolve within it!

Without hesitation, the beast opened its mouth again. A sheet of silver mist surged out, instantly enveloping the three golden beetles. Although Gold Devouring Beetles devoured everything, they couldn't immediately bite through the silver mist and escape. Therefore, after the beast took a deep breath, the silver mist rolled back, and all three Gold Devouring Beetles were swallowed into its mouth.

The beast opened its massive maw, full of tusks, and chomped fiercely without a second thought. Then, it gulped them down into its belly.

Then, its body hunkered down. A thunderous roar erupted from its limbs, and it transformed into a silver arc, vanishing from its spot.

Han Li had already used this opportunity to escape over a thousand zhang away. He looked back from afar, a strange expression flashing across his face. Without a word, he flapped the wings on his back, transforming into a crystal thread that shot out and vanished in the void. The two seemed to have returned to a chase-and-flee situation once more.

However, the Nether Lightning Beast seemed to be completely enraged by the golden beetles Han Li had released earlier. As its body swayed within the silver arc, a fierce glint occasionally flashed in its eyes. It seemed that this time, it genuinely intended to kill Han Li. The subsequent situation indeed confirmed this.

When Han Li again released his Demon Subduing Divine Lightning to attack the beast, the Nether Lightning Beast's body flickered, directly piercing through the golden arcs without its escape light pausing at all. The beast no longer held any intention of playing around.

Han Li's heart tensed, and he channeled his full magic power. The crystal thread he had transformed into darted erratically through the void, his escape light flickering in and out of sight, like a ghost. However, despite this, in just a moment, the Nether Lightning Beast caught up to within a hundred zhang behind him. On the beast's back, lightning intertwined and electric arcs shot out, forming a pair of electrical wings from the interwoven silver light. These wings were about two zhang long, silvery-white on the surface, with countless runes constantly swirling. With just a slight flap of its wings, the Nether Lightning Beast's body suddenly blurred amidst a rumbling sound.

The next moment, about ten zhang behind Han Li, a silver arc appeared, and the Nether Lightning Beast's phantom image emerged. Meanwhile, the phantom image at its original spot dissipated like foam. "Shadow Escape!"

Han Li, sensing the unusual movement, twisted his escape light to look back and happened to witness this scene. His face turned somewhat pale. This beast actually possessed the most bizarre divine ability among all escape techniques. It was far beyond his expectations, and his heart sank.

The Shadow Escape technique might not be the fastest escape divine ability in the world, but it was absolutely the rarest and most mysterious. In fact, very few people in the world had ever witnessed this escape technique with their own eyes.
