Chapter 1573: Giant Strength

**Volume 7: Traversing the Human Realm — Volume 9: A Hundred Races of the Spirit Realm**

The invisible fluctuations, a strange divine ability whose nature was unknown, seemed utterly irresistible to the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords.

Upon witnessing this, Qing Xiao and the black-robed young woman's faces paled once more.

They had only just managed to put a little more distance between themselves and the monstrous moth; if the tremendous roar erupted again, they would surely not survive.

Han Li watched as dozens of flying swords instantly burst into fragments, yet his face showed no trace of shock or anger. Instead, he let out a cold snort, swiftly formed a hand seal with one hand, and intently pointed towards the distance.

An astonishing sight unfolded!

The flying sword fragments, which had disintegrated into countless green lights, suddenly buzzed loudly. They then spun around the massive moth, astonishingly re-forming into glimmering small swords within the green light, perfectly restored to their original state.

The numerous flying swords flashed mysteriously, their countless green threads intertwining, and once more, the monstrous moth was sliced into innumerable pieces.

This divine ability was, of course, the Sword Spirit Dematerialization technique of the flying swords.

Qing Xiao and the young woman were utterly dumbfounded by this display. However, they quickly snapped out of it, accelerating their escape light. After a few flashes, they finally reached Han Li's vicinity and briefly paused.

"Thank you for saving us, Senior," Qing Xiao said urgently to Han Li, letting out a long breath. "But this monster is too formidable. We should really make a quick escape."

"You two Daoists are free to go," Han Li replied calmly. "I have some interest in this monster and want to see if I can defeat it."

"Senior," the black-robed young woman kindly advised, "we don't know where this beast came from, and its power is far beyond what you've seen. Even the Silver Shark Hermit met a tragic end at its hands. We should withdraw from here first, devise a new strategy, and then it won't be too late to confront this monstrosity."

Evidently, despite Han Li's display of astonishing power, neither woman believed he could genuinely defeat the monstrous moth.

"Don't worry, you two!" Han Li said with a slight smile, shaking his head. "Even if I can't defeat it, I can certainly protect myself."

At that moment, after a flash of grey light in the distance, the monstrous moth reassembled its shattered body once more, restoring itself. However, being slain for a second time sent the creature into a furious rage. Its lion-like head opened wide, unleashing roars far more powerful than before, while its wings began to flap frantically.

Instantly, the nearby sky filled with thunderous roars, while rings of ripple-like fluctuations emanated from the monstrous moth's body, spreading wildly and continuously in all directions.

The numerous flying swords again shattered piece by piece within the fluctuations, then were repeatedly crushed into even smaller fragments.

Witnessing this, the monstrous moth continued to flap its wings frantically, showing no intention of stopping.

Although the moth remained preoccupied with the flying swords and did not approach Han Li, the reverberating roars caused Qing Xiao and the black-robed young woman, whose complexions had just returned to normal, to instantly flush an abnormal blood-red. It was as if all the blood in their bodies was about to burst through their skin.

Han Li merely frowned slightly. After he increased the power of his Vanishing Saint Demonic Arts by two points, the effects on him became negligible. However, seeing the two women in such peril with a quick glance, he swiftly shot out an arm, striking twice through the air towards them.

A golden light flashed on his palm, and two golden beams swiftly vanished into the women's bodies.

Qing Xiao and the young woman immediately felt the blood circulation in their bodies slow by more than half, and the flush on their faces also subsided considerably.

The two women's anxious hearts instantly settled! Knowing that Han Li had come to their aid, they repeatedly expressed their thanks.

"This beast's roar is rather peculiar, and its range of power is extremely vast," Han Li said, waving his hand. "You two Daoists should go on ahead."

He observed visible spatial distortions occurring within a radius of over a thousand zhang, centered around the monstrous moth in the distance. Such a vast area was strangely shifting between blurry and clear, akin to a bizarre mirage.

It was unclear whether this anomaly was caused by the monster's roars or by the invisible fluctuations generated by its flapping wings.

As the two forces met, a thunderous roar erupted. Amidst the interwoven and flickering fluctuations and grey light, the entire sky strangely flickered between darkness and light, creating an unexpected stalemate.

Han Li's expression darkened, and the five fingers of his black palm suddenly curled inward slightly.

Instantly, a black shadow emerged from the grey light curtain in the air, followed by the mysterious appearance of a small black mountain. Its form then rapidly expanded, and in a few flashes, it grew into a colossal peak over a thousand zhang tall.

It was the Primal Magnetic Divine Mountain!

The monstrous moth was momentarily startled upon seeing this, but immediately let out a mighty roar. The invisible fluctuations suddenly condensed, astonishingly forming a visible translucent beam of light that shot directly towards the base of the massive mountain.

Given how the invisible fluctuations had previously shattered Han Li's flying swords, their immense power was undeniable. Now, with them converged into a single point, the destructive force against magical artifacts and treasures was considerable.

Before the Primal Magnetic Divine Mountain fused with the strange stone pier, it would have been hard to say if it could withstand this translucent beam of light. However, after its second fusion with the stone pier, the mountain's resilience had already reached an unbelievable level.

A strange grayish-white light flashed at the base of the colossal mountain. The beam struck it with a muffled thud, erupting into a dazzling white glow.

After the white glow receded and dissipated, the light beam disintegrated and vanished. The base of the mountain peak, however, showed not even the slightest crack, appearing utterly unharmed.

The monstrous moth was greatly astonished, almost disbelieving what it had just witnessed.

Meanwhile, Han Li, from a distance, emotionlessly formed a hand seal, and instantly, the mountain peak began to slowly descend with the crushing force of Mount Tai.

Even as rings of fluctuations continuously emanated from the monstrous moth's wings, they instantly disintegrated upon contact under the mountain peak's immense power, utterly unable to resist the extraordinary weighty force of the Primal Magnetic Divine Mountain.

Just as the black mountain peak was about to completely engulf the monstrous moth, seemingly ready to crush it into paste at any moment, the moth's lion-like head suddenly blurred. Astonishingly, it transformed into the head of a colossal python, its eyes tightly shut.

The dark-green python beast's eyes opened, revealing a pair of glistening golden, eerie orbs that gleamed with an exceptionally cold gaze. It instantly raised its head, fixing its stare on the black mountain peak above.

A sinister hiss emanated from the python's mouth. Suddenly, it flapped its wings, and clouds of hazy grey light powder floated and spread out, submerging the monster's body and making its form completely indistinguishable.

The monster appeared to be preparing to unleash some great divine ability.

Observing this from afar, a stern look flashed across Han Li's face, and he abruptly urged his hand seals.

The black mountain peak roared as it violently pressed down, its base instantly sinking into the grey light powder.
