Chapter 1598: Annihilating the Same Level Consecutively

At this moment, two black light pillars and over a dozen streaks of yellow light shot towards the Roc, seemingly about to strike its massive body.

But then, with a sudden flash of spiritual light, a crystal light shield abruptly emerged from within the Roc's body.

When the two light pillars and over a dozen streaks of yellow light struck the crystal shield, they paused momentarily, then changed direction, surprisingly flying obliquely off the Roc's surface and missing completely.

The two light pillars dispersed and vanished in a flash far away, while the over a dozen streaks of yellow light flickered a few times, then circled and shot back towards the Roc.

However, the Roc merely flapped one of its wings violently.

Immediately, a dense, white gale erupted, and as soon as these yellow streaks approached, they were swept away to an unknown location.

Following this, lightning arcs flashed wildly across the Roc's body, and it moved amidst continuous thunder, directly lunging towards the dwarf.

The dwarf, already having an extremely grim expression after witnessing Han Li so easily kill the old woman and his own attack deflected, instantly turned deathly pale upon seeing the Roc lunge at him.

Without a moment's thought, he abruptly stomped his foot on the silver cloud, instantly transforming into a series of flashing silver lights.

The next moment, he eerily appeared beside the bare-footed eccentric.

He then pointed at the verdant wooden bowl beside him, which transformed into a green light shield, protecting his body within it.

The bare-footed eccentric's face was exceptionally ashen at this moment. After a sudden roar, streams of black mist erupted from the dark armguards on his hands, engulfing him and the dwarf beside him in an instant.

The black mist churned and surged incessantly in all directions. In a blink of an eye, it spread over thirty yards wide and continued to expand.

The black mist was filled with loud wails and howls, and ghostly figures flickered in and out of sight within it.

The auras of the bare-footed eccentric and the dwarf vanished instantly within the mist.

At this moment, the giant Roc that Han Li had transformed into, due to the dwarf's premature escape, naturally changed its direction and turned to gaze at the suddenly appearing black sea of mist.

"Yin energy!" He recognized the true nature of the black mist almost at a glance, noting it was extremely pure Yin energy.

If ordinary cultivators were not careful and were swept into this Yin energy, they would likely instantly turn into desiccated corpses.

However, as Han Li observed this Yin energy, a strange glint suddenly appeared in the eyes of the Roc he had transformed into.

Before the Roc he transformed into could react, the Soul-Devouring Beast, watching from a distance, suddenly let out an extremely excited cry, then fiercely pounded its chest with its two huge fists and snorted loudly through its large nose.

Immediately, large swathes of yellow light shot out from its nose, sweeping directly towards the black mist.

The Roc that Han Li had transformed into also let out a clear cry from its mouth, flapped its wings, and lightning arcs simultaneously burst forth from its body, transforming into a dazzling ball of electric light.

And as the electric light vanished in a flash, a booming thunderclap sounded, and a white lightning arc, as thick as a water vat, suddenly appeared above the black mist.

The Roc, with its mountain-like body, instantly emerged from the lightning arc, and after a quick circle, adopted a posture as if to dive into the mist below.

"Seeking death!" The bare-footed eccentric had naturally been hiding in the mist all along, only now, a dark flag appeared in his hand. Upon seeing Han Li's action, he wasn't angry, but instead delighted.

After a fierce shout, he abruptly waved the small black flag in his hand.

Immediately, large swathes of black mist churned and condensed in the air, and a massive black ghostly face materialized. As if alive, green flames flickered in the ghostly face's eyes, and it opened its massive mouth, ready to meet the Roc in the air.

But just then, the Soul-Devouring Divine Light flashed and swept over.

As the yellow light mist furiously flashed, the ghostly face, which had just risen slightly into the air, instantly let out a miserable shriek of terror.

The gigantic face immediately twisted and deformed, then with a 'puff' sound, it transformed into countless streaks of black energy, which were swept away by the yellow light.

Not only that, the entire black mist below instantly began to boil the moment the yellow light appeared.

Wherever the yellow light passed, the black mist transformed into countless black threads, which flickered and eerily vanished.

If it were the previous Soul-Devouring Beast, even if it could restrain Yin energy, absorbing such a vast amount of Yin energy in one go would have required considerable effort.

But after so many advancements, the Soul-Devouring Divine Light had long since doubled its power, becoming extraordinary.

Such a large amount of black mist, more than half of it, was swept away in the span of a single breath.

The bare-footed eccentric and the dwarf, who had been hidden deep within the mist, suddenly became vaguely visible in the thinning mist, and in the next moment, fully revealed themselves.

The bare-footed eccentric held the flag in both hands, his face filled with an expression of disbelief.

As the two revealed themselves, the Roc immediately bore down heavily on them, while its two giant claws separated, grabbing at each of them.

Even more critically, with a flash of green light from its two wings, the Roc simultaneously flapped them slowly downwards.

Seemingly nothing unusual happened, but the eccentric and the dwarf felt the air around them suddenly tighten, followed by an invisible immense force, like Mount Tai pressing down, bearing heavily on their shoulders.

The bare-footed eccentric was still relatively fine; only his legs trembled, and relying on his considerable cultivation, he could barely manage to stay upright.

The dwarf, whose cultivation was far inferior to his companion's, let out a muffled groan and was immediately forced to his knees on one leg. The green light shield around him became extremely distorted, and a large indentation appeared on its top, shaking violently as if it could collapse at any moment.

This greatly alarmed the dwarf, who knew the defensive capabilities of his treasure well.

But as the two saw the giant claws descending, although their bodies were momentarily incredibly sluggish and unable to dodge even slightly, they naturally wouldn't wait to die without a fight.

Immediately, the bare-footed eccentric barely managed to flick his wrist; not only did the black flag in his hand roll and transform into a mist dragon that shot upwards, but also the black armguards on his two arms pulsed with strange light, from which two phantoms flew out.

Han Li focused his gaze and saw that they were actually two fierce ghosts, one red and one green. Their faces were hideous, with two horns on their heads, and their upper bodies were bare, while their lower bodies were wrapped in unknown animal skins. The two ghosts raised their arms simultaneously, and a swath of dark light immediately followed the mist dragon, shooting upwards.

Meanwhile, the dwarf opened his top skull, and a small white jade sword shot out; with a tremble, it instantly transformed into a dazzling rainbow that slashed towards the giant claw in the air.

In their desperation, these two seemed to be fighting with all their might.

A booming sound echoed again in the high sky; the silver warship, at this moment, suddenly released a beam of white light, shooting directly towards the Roc.

The Roc's downward momentum did not stop at all, but the layer of crystal light on its body flashed, transforming into a crystalline shield that flew out from its body.

This shield was initially only about a *zhang* in size, but the moment it flew into the air, it instantly transformed into a giant shield over twenty *zhang* in size.

It was crystal clear and extraordinarily brilliant under the sunlight!

The light beams successively struck the giant shield, and with a flash of light, twisted these attacks to other locations.

The warship's attacks could not affect Han Li's attack in the slightest.

With a muffled 'thud', the dazzling rainbow formed by the white jade sword was the first to strike the giant claw.

But the next moment, it was easily deflected, but then the giant claw closed, surprisingly seizing the white rainbow firmly in its grasp.

No matter how desperately it struggled, it could not escape the claw even a jot.

Following this, a crisp cracking sound was heard, and the flying sword was actually crushed into several pieces by the giant claw's immense strength.

The dwarf below immediately let out a miserable shriek and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.

And that giant claw, taking advantage of the situation, descended; with just a flash, it struck the green light shield below.

Although the dwarf within the light shield instantly turned ashen.

But the green light shield was truly extraordinary. Even as the giant claw closed upon it, emitting a grinding sound, it surprisingly did not break immediately.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the mist dragon absorbed the swath of dark light into its body, its body actually solidifying and revealing dark, lustrous scales. With a majestic roar, it swayed its head and tail, violently crashing into the other giant claw.

This giant claw paused, surprisingly held up by the black dragon, unable to descend.

A hint of surprise appeared in Han Li's eyes, but the Roc suddenly opened its mouth and a silver fireball suddenly shot downwards, while its head simultaneously pecked fiercely downwards towards the other side.

Immediately, with a 'boom', the black dragon holding up the giant claw was struck by the fireball and burst into fierce flames as silver fire churned around it.

The black dragon rapidly shrank at a visible speed, as if being consumed by the silver flames.

At this moment, the Roc's sharp beak also savagely pecked at the green light shield, which was still firmly grasped by its other giant claw.

After a crisp crack, the already tottering light shield could no longer hold, shattering inch by inch.

The dwarf inside, completely devoid of any further resistance, was instantly crushed by the giant claw; his nascent soul, deeply hidden within, was unable to escape, both vanishing without a trace in a cloud of blood mist.

The situation for the bare-footed eccentric below was no better, because the black dragon in the air, after shrinking to one-third of its original size, immediately became unable to withstand the immense force of the giant claw and was easily dispersed with a single grasp.

The giant claw, now enveloped in silver flames, then shot directly towards the bare-footed eccentric.

The bare-footed eccentric's face had already drastically changed when he saw the dwarf being killed; now seeing that his relied-upon treasure also couldn't resist, an expression of terror finally appeared in his eyes. But the next moment, he suddenly gritted his teeth and let out a tragic, long howl.

With a tremendous 'boom', after a layer of blood light appeared on the bare-footed eccentric's body, his body inexplicably exploded.

A dazzling blood-red light contracted and expanded, transforming into a crimson sun the size of a carriage wheel.

Even the giant claw enveloped in silver flames was repelled by this crimson sun, unable to descend even a jot for a moment.

Taking this opportunity, a faint blood-red shadow flashed out from the blood light, shooting several tens of yards away; with another flicker, it was over a hundred yards away, no longer far from the nearby intact warship.

Han Li possessed divine sight, so he naturally couldn't miss this blood shadow; without minding the blood light below, he abruptly twisted his body, about to give chase immediately.

But just then, a golden light pillar suddenly shot forth from another direction without any warning; silently, with a mere flash, it precisely struck the blood shadow that had reappeared above the warship.

After a clap of thunder, several golden lightning arcs instantly emerged on the blood shadow's body.

After the blood shadow let out a miserable shriek, it instantly turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished amidst the golden lightning.

"Spirit-Dispelling Divine Thunder!"

Seeing this unusually familiar scene, Han Li was stunned and greatly surprised!
