Book 10: Battle of the Demon Realm
At that moment, the beautiful eyes behind the Silverlight Immortal's mask unexpectedly revealed a hint of pain. Suddenly, a small silver sword shot out from her cherry lips.
The flying sword merely flickered, transforming into a streak of silver light that wrapped around her shoulder, unexpectedly severing the arm she had just been holding. Yet, eerily, not a single drop of blood appeared at the wound.
The moment the jade-like arm detached from her body, it was immediately enveloped by a ball of blood-red flames with a soft *whoosh*, rapidly turning to ash amidst the fierce burning.
"Blood-Devouring Demonic Flame! It truly is this malevolent demonic flame!" the Silverlight Immortal exclaimed, shocked and furious. "Brother Han, be careful! This is one of the Four Great Demonic Flames of the Demon Race. Once contaminated, it's impossible to remove, unless protected by certain legendary rare treasures!" she loudly warned Han Li.
Then, with a flick of her wrist, a green light flashed in her hand, revealing a white pill with a fragrant aroma, which she tilted her head back and swallowed.
In an instant, after a swirl of green light enveloped the severed arm's location, an exceptionally pale and tender arm materialized once more, appearing exactly as it had before.
But the Silverlight Immortal's jade-like face beneath her mask was deathly pale, clearly indicating that casting this limb regeneration technique came at a significant cost.
"Blood-Devouring Demonic Flame! To think it was this! It seems I truly underestimated you," Han Li said. "But that's good. It shows your status among the Demon Race's Venerables is likely extraordinary, making it even more necessary to eliminate you." He glanced at the Silverlight Immortal's newly regenerated arm, then looked at the three-headed, six-armed demonic creature opposite him, which resembled a small mountain, a sliver of killing intent flickering in his eyes.
"You want to kill me? Just the two of you?!" The demonic creature, transformed from the one-horned old man, opened all six of its eyes, and all three of its mouths simultaneously let out scornful, wild laughter. Then, it suddenly shook the black giant staff in its hands, causing continuous rumbling sounds in the void, and a vast, mountain-like shadow of the staff swept towards Han Li and the Silverlight Immortal simultaneously.
Before the staff's shadow even truly arrived, a suffocating spiritual pressure twisted and hummed the surrounding void, as if it truly possessed the power to cleave the heavens and shatter the earth.
"Hmph, it seems you're quite confident in your immense strength."
Upon seeing this, Han Li was not surprised; instead, his cold pupils contracted slightly, and he let out a faint scoff. Then, he formed a hand seal, and his body suddenly erupted with golden light, expanding rapidly.
In just a breath's time, he also transformed into a towering golden-furred giant ape with bared fangs.
Then, with a grasp in the air with both hands, a black mountain peak and a green mountain peak simultaneously appeared in his hands. As he powerfully raised both arms high, the two mountain peaks also grew colossal, transforming into mountains several hundred zhang tall, blocking all the staff shadows that filled the sky.
The power of the demonic creature, transformed from the Strength Venerable, was astonishing. The staff shadows were also incredibly fierce, but when they struck the two mountain peaks, they merely erupted in a series of dazzling lights and earth-shaking roars.
After the myriad staff shadows receded, the surfaces of the two mountain peaks showed no damage other than some pitted marks.
Seeing this, the one-horned old man, all three of his heads simultaneously showed surprise, revealing looks of disbelief.
"This is impossible! My Dragon-Python Great Strength Demonic Art has reached grand accomplishment. How can there be anyone among Human Race Integration Stage cultivators stronger than me?" The one-horned old man exclaimed in surprise. "Huh? This transformation of yours is..." But as he focused his gaze and carefully observed Han Li's giant ape transformation, a hint of surprise and suspicion suddenly appeared on his face.
"Heh heh, it seems you're simply unaccustomed to such things," the golden giant ape said, speaking in human tongue with a cold laugh. "What goes around comes around. How about you take my next attack?" The two great mountains suddenly slammed together, then, with a powerful thrust of its arms, hurled forward.
After two loud *buzzing* sounds, the two mountain peaks, leaving two deep white trails, shot through the air.
Still twenty or thirty zhang away from the demonic creature transformed from the one-horned old man, an invisible immense force transformed into a fierce gale that swept down first.
Wherever it passed, the void seemed to shatter inch by inch.
The one-horned old man, witnessing this sight, was horrified in his heart. Unwilling to yield, all three of his heads suddenly let out a fierce roar, and the black giant staff in his hands danced wildly.
Instantly, mountains of staff shadows surged forth to meet the two great mountains.
With a heaven-shattering, earth-rending *boom*!
The three-headed, six-armed demonic creature felt its hands go numb, and the giant staff in its hands heated up and flew out of its grasp. At the same time, an immense force slammed into its body, causing it to involuntarily spit out a mouthful of black blood, and its body trembled violently as it was sent flying.
The two great mountains, however, merely paused briefly in mid-air, then descended fiercely and without any damage.
Seeing that a single crushing blow could turn the demon into a pulp, the one-horned old man, in his shock and fury, suddenly had all six of his arms detach simultaneously, transforming into rolling blood mist that instantly engulfed his body.
With a *boom*, the two giant mountains unceremoniously smashed into the blood mist, but it was astonishingly empty inside. The one-horned old man had, unexpectedly, used some secret technique to mysteriously escape his original position.
The giant ape, Han Li's transformation, first paused in surprise, then his massive mouth spread in a furious snarl. He abruptly pounded his chest with both hands, and a crack appeared between his brows, from which a dark vertical eye emerged.
From the depths of this eye's pupil, a swirl of black light, a black light pillar as thick as a bowl's mouth, shot out, instantly vanishing into the void before him.
The next moment, a muffled *rumble* erupted high in the sky several hundred zhang away.
Next, with a low roar, the demonic creature's massive figure emerged, stumbling from the void in that direction amidst spatial fluctuations.
Seeing this, Han Li no longer hesitated and pointed at the two distant mountain peaks.
Instantly, the two giant peaks trembled. One had silver runes flashing across its surface, unleashing a rolling grey mist. The other emanated myriad green lights, releasing countless invisible sword qi.
As the two intertwined, the very heavens and earth seemed to change color!
Seeing this, the one-horned old man's face turned pale. Then he stomped his feet into the void without hesitation, and with two *bang* sounds, they burst into two streams of blood mist, revealing a pair of pale silver leg bones.
These leg bones not only shimmered with silver light on their surface but also had a pair of blood-red talismans affixed to their soles.
The Strength Venerable's three heads simultaneously chanted a strange incantation.
The two blood-red talismans immediately ignited with a *sizzle*. A dozen or so large blood characters flashed, sinking several inches deep into the leg bones, as if embedded within them.
This pair of silver leg bones then flashed with spiritual light, transforming into a pair of silver flying wheels. With a *whoosh*, blood-red demonic flames fiercely erupted on their surfaces.
Propelled by the flames, the flying wheels began to spin madly, and with a *whoosh*, they transformed into a hundred-zhang-long blood-red rainbow and shot off into the distance.
Their speed was lightning-fast, reaching over a thousand zhang away in the blink of an eye!
The old demon, seeing that he couldn't contend with Han Li, turned around and fled without hesitation.
Han Li was naturally stunned for a moment, then his brow furrowed slightly.
This demon had previously seemed intent on fighting to the death, even manifesting its ancient demon true form. Yet now, facing a slight disadvantage, it fled so decisively, which was truly unexpected.
From the moment Han Li transformed into the giant ape to when he overwhelmed the Strength Venerable, only a few breaths had passed. The Silverlight Immortal, meanwhile, seized this opportunity to circulate her spiritual power through her body, making her complexion appear a bit better. While greatly relieved by this sight, she hastily shouted loudly.
"Brother Han, we cannot let this demon escape alive! If it brings other demons here, we'll be in big trouble."
No sooner had her words fallen than the Silverlight Immortal pointed at her pair of silver hooks, immediately retracting them into her sleeve. Then, with a raise of one hand, she released a green flying shuttle, and with a twist of her slender waist, she instantly entered it.
With a roar!
The shuttle transformed into a streak of green light and pursued closely, its speed seemingly no less than that of the blood-red rainbow ahead.
"The Azure Heavens Shuttle! To think this spiritual treasure from the Myriad Spirits List ended up in her hands. That's quite unexpected," Han Li murmured in surprise, glancing at the green shuttle. "But letting this old demon escape? Things aren't that easy!" He then let out a cold laugh.
Then, he abruptly formed a hand seal with both hands, and the giant ape he had transformed into was immediately enveloped in a layer of strange silver light. With a roll on the ground and a clear cry, a silver roc, a hundred zhang long, suddenly appeared in the void.
What's more, as this giant roc raised its head and flapped its wings, a great sound of thunder erupted, and streaks of silver arcs shot out from its body. Astonishingly, another pair of crystalline feathered wings also mysteriously appeared on its back.
These were precisely the Wind-Thunder Wings!
Thus, the giant roc now surprisingly possessed four immense wings.
Combining the Celestial Roc Transformation with the Wind-Thunder Wings, this was precisely an extreme escape technique that Han Li had developed over the past few centuries.
Now, as the silver great roc twitched all four of its wings simultaneously, it instantly transformed into a streak of lightning and vanished from its spot; only a rapid succession of thunderous roars could be heard in the void, fading further and further away.
At this moment, the blood-red rainbow, into which the one-horned old man had transformed, was already dozens of miles away.
As the demon furiously propelled the silver wheels beneath its feet, its gaze constantly darted left and right, a hint of anxiety hidden on its face.
Before he had caught up with Han Li and the other person, he had contacted his two companions once more. Those two companions, also Demon Race Venerables, were not far from him.
That's why earlier he had dared to fight against two Integration Stage beings simultaneously.
But he never expected that while the Human Race female cultivator was one thing, the Human Race male cultivator who had killed his beloved grandson possessed such great abilities, far exceeding his expectations, putting him through considerable hardship.
But it didn't matter. He hadn't used his greatest killing moves earlier. Once he rendezvoused with his two companions, they could counterattack. He still believed there was a chance to kill these two Human Race Integration Stage cultivators.
As the one-horned old man thought this, he forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and silently chanted an incantation.
Instantly, from the wound on his shoulder, streams of blood mist emerged, and his flesh constantly writhed. In a moment, his six severed arms were completely restored.
And at that very moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded in his ear:
"Brother Li, why are you in such a sorry state? Are those two Human Race cultivators that difficult to deal with? But don't worry, my companion and I have already set up a temporary demonic array nearby. Lure them into it, and the three of us attacking together will surely be able to kill these two Human Race Integration Stage beings!"
The voice was incredibly cold, and it was none other than that bald demonic cultivator's voice!
