Chapter 1750: Giant Ape's Fierce Might

**Volume Nine: The Hundred Races of the Spirit Realm**

After destroying all the flying swords with a single blow, the golden-horned youth showed no intention of stopping. The small white bell rang twice more, and a misty white wave billowed out again, materializing and growing. Simultaneously, the Dharma Idol behind the youth also brought forth two treasures from its hands, sending tri-colored flames and billowing fire clouds soaring into the sky. As for the youth's main body, a fierce expression flashed across his face, and he opened his mouth to release a thick black mist that swirled and danced around him. The wails of ghosts and wolves rose loudly, and within the black mist, countless translucent green threads flickered into view, emitting a strong, foul stench. With this single move, the golden-horned youth unleashed several divine abilities simultaneously, clearly intending to annihilate Han Li in one strike.

Seeing this, Han Li felt a chill in his heart. He wasn't particularly concerned about the other attacks, but he was highly apprehensive of the spatial divine ability released from the small white bell. However, since his magic power had not yet fully recovered, he also had no intention of a prolonged battle. With a resolute thought, he immediately urged his intent.

The Golden Body beside him suddenly radiated a brilliant purple-gold light from its surface, emitting waves of Sanskrit chants. Within the golden spiritual light, purple runes vaguely floated. One of its arms blurred, and with a grasp in the void, a golden broken blade appeared in its hand. A low hum emanated from the broken blade! The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of several miles exploded with a "boom," as if summoned, transforming into countless five-colored mists that materialized, forming a five-colored light screen that obscured half the sky. This astonishing celestial phenomenon of spiritual energy was possible precisely because they were in the Guanghan Realm.

The astonishing spiritual energy contained within the light screen caused the youth opposite to change his expression. But before he could react, the Golden Body itself emitted fluctuating spiritual light, and a golden mist poured furiously from its arm into the golden blade. The Golden Body, originally two zhang (approx. 6.6 meters) tall, strangely shrunk by a section after a few flashes. The originally incomplete short blade, amidst frantic golden flashes, blurred and then transformed into a complete blade. With a slight flick of the wrist holding the blade, the clear hum from the golden blade abruptly ceased. However, the five-colored light screen high in the sky spun rapidly and surged downwards, pouring into the golden blade. In a few breaths, the golden blade, like a bottomless pit, completely absorbed the entire light screen. The golden blade, originally only about a foot long, instantly transformed into a zhang (approx. 3.3 meters) in length. With a few runes flickering on its surface, it silently slashed down towards the opponent. A beam of golden light shot out from the golden blade, initially only a few feet long, but after a flash, it transformed into an endless, rolling golden torrent, surging furiously towards the opponent.

Seeing the momentum of the golden torrent, the youth was also startled, but at this point, it was naturally impossible to stop and make peace with Han Li. Immediately, he let out a sharp cry, while gravely pointing a finger towards Han Li. Instantly, the white waves, fire clouds, tri-colored flames, and black mist surged forward, crashing head-on into the golden giant wave. As soon as the fire clouds, black mist, and flames came into contact with the golden wave, they erupted with a tremendous roar, but then quickly disintegrated and vanished, unable to offer any resistance. However, the white waves rushed into the golden light, emitting strange, popping sounds. As their lights intertwined and flashed, they seemed to be locked in a stalemate for a moment.

"Profound Heaven Sacred Artifact!" The youth, who had been quite doubtful, felt his heart sink immediately upon seeing this scene. He had actually mistaken the Profound Heaven Fragment Blade for something equivalent to the small bell. However, thinking this way was not entirely unreasonable. The Profound Heaven Fragment Blade, when divided into several pieces, was indeed very similar in power to a Profound Heaven Sacred Artifact. It also couldn't fully unleash the power of a Profound Heaven Treasure, only mimicking some of its divine abilities.

At this moment, the youth moved his wrist, tossing the small white bell into mid-air. He curled a finger and slowly flicked it towards the small bell. Several clear "clang" sounds emanated from the bell, one after another. His finger faintly glowed with a bloody light, and with each flick, his face abruptly turned paler. After seven or eight bell chimes, there was no trace of color left on the youth's face. Clearly, striking the small bell consumed an immense amount of vital energy, far beyond ordinary imagination. Even this cultivator, despite his top-tier Void Refinement cultivation, immediately showed signs of exhaustion after a few flicks. However, the effect of so many chimes emanating from the small bell was naturally astonishing.

The moment Han Li heard the first chime, he felt a buzz in his ears, and the surrounding scenery blurred. He was about to be irresistibly pulled into the void by some force of law. He was naturally startled, but immediately urged a magic incantation in his mind, and layers of black runes appeared on his black demonic armor. These runes spun rapidly, then burst open one after another. A misty black hurricane instantly formed, creating an invisible immense force out of thin air, securely protecting him within it. Although the force of law was extremely strange, it only twisted and deformed the hurricane for a moment, then canceled out with the invisible immense force, failing to affect Han Li at its center.

However, when the second chime also sounded, the hurricane dissipated and vanished with a "bang," no longer able to resist the influence of the force of law. After the third chime rang, Han Li's demonic armor suddenly emitted dazzling black light. The void near the black light fluctuated vaguely, giving off buzzing sounds. The force of law was actually acting directly on the Outer-Heaven Demonic Armor, causing the black light to flicker. Han Li had manipulated Profound Heaven Treasures several times before, so how could he not know the power of the force of law? His expression changed several times, and he hastily made a hand seal with one hand. With a clap of thunder, a flash of blue-white spiritual light behind him, a pair of crystalline feathered wings emerged. And at this moment, as the third chime slowly echoed, the black light emitted by the demonic armor solidified, then seemingly shattered inch by inch as if it were a solid object.

Seeing this, Han Li's mouth twitched. Without any further hesitation, he flapped his wings behind him. With a clap of thunder, Han Li suddenly transformed into a blue-white electric arc and vanished from his spot. The next moment, where he had stood, the void twisted and then collapsed, revealing a dark, gaping hole. Han Li had barely avoided the direct attack of the spatial force generated by the third chime.

However, the instant the fourth chime rang, twenty-odd zhang (approximately 66 meters) away, a ball of white light exploded from the void with a "bang," and a figure covered in electric arcs stumbled out from within. It was none other than Han Li, who had just vanished into the void. His Lightning Escape Technique had been easily broken by the power of the bell chime. After another drawn-out sound, Han Li felt the air around him tighten. His entire world spun, and he was inescapably enveloped by the force of law. The force of law instantly transformed into an immense power that descended upon him. Then, this power abruptly tightened and pulled in all directions, threatening to tear Han Li's body into four pieces.

But at this very moment, Han Li's eyes widened, and he suddenly let out a thunderous roar! The golden light on his body was as dazzling and blinding as the scorching sun. Instantly, countless golden-yellow long hairs grew, and his fangs bared, transforming him into a golden-yellow giant ape. It stood five or six zhang (approx. 16.5-19.8 meters) tall, with a fierce appearance and massive limbs, seemingly possessing infinite power. The giant ape let out a furious roar, simultaneously swinging all four limbs with force. With a dull "thud," something in the surrounding void seemed to be shattered by the blow. Subsequently, the giant ape seemed to sneer, took a large stride, and with a swing of its massive body, somehow covered a distance of thirty zhang (approx. 99 meters) in an instant, appearing near the golden-horned youth. Its hairy hand spread its five fingers and unceremoniously clawed downwards.

A chilling wind howled down towards the youth. The golden-horned youth, already dumbfounded by the sight of his powerful attacks, powered by a great loss of vital energy from the small bell, proving ineffective, was even more disbelieving when he saw Han Li transform into a giant ape. The giant ape's sudden, strange appearance beside him and its fierce attack indeed caught him off guard, leaving him no time to activate the small bell to defend himself. Although he knew nothing about the giant ape Han Li had transformed into, he had clearly witnessed the ape's raw physical strength breaking free from the force of law just moments ago, so how could he dare to underestimate it in the slightest? Therefore, the youth, left with no choice, quickly formed a hand seal with one hand. The blue Dharma Idol behind him glowed brightly all over, and with a grasp of its two hands, it each conjured a misty blue giant blade. A cold light flashed. One blade horizontally met the hairy, massive palm, while the other directly slashed fiercely towards the giant ape's chest, displaying an intent akin to "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao."

However, witnessing this scene, the giant ape remained expressionless, completely ignoring the blue blade slashing towards it. Instead, it concentrated all its strength onto the striking palm. A crisp sound, like metal colliding, rang out! The blue blade that was meant to block, as soon as it touched the giant claw, was instantly shattered with a massive jolt, like a praying mantis trying to stop a chariot wheel. And the other blue blade, when it slashed onto the giant ape's body, merely caused a flash of golden light and was forcefully bounced away, unable to even break a single hair on the giant ape.

"Ah!" The golden-horned youth was truly terrified. With his heart pounding, he instinctively urged his Dharma Idol behind him. The blue Dharma Idol suddenly swelled in size and surged upwards, also swinging its fists to meet the attack. At the same time, the youth opened his mouth again, spraying a stream of black mist mixed with green threads into the air. Then, he quickly raised his arm, a flash of blood color across his face, and with a bloody glow from one finger, he was about to risk his vital energy to flick the small white bell again.

However, the youth clearly still underestimated the domineering power of the giant ape Han Li had transformed into. The blue Dharma Idol, the moment it made the slightest contact with the golden-yellow giant claw, was instantly shattered and dispersed by the divine power emanating from the grip. As for the black mist, it was annihilated by a single grasp of the giant claw, failing to stop it in the slightest. Lightning fast! After the giant ape's palm descended, treating the youth's protective spiritual light as nothing, it lightning-fast seized the golden-horned youth's head. Without hesitation, its five fingers squeezed hard. With a "bang," with an expression of utter disbelief, the youth's head exploded like a watermelon. The headless body swayed, then began to topple towards the ground.
