**Volume Ten: Battle in the Demon Realm**
The Blue Venerable was being relentlessly bombarded by Han Li with two small mountains, struck more than a dozen times. Sweating profusely, his body trembling, he was able to fight and retreat simultaneously. Upon hearing the Bald Venerable's words, he immediately brightened and, without hesitation, agreed. His eyes darted about as he quickly sought a strategy to escape and lure the enemy.
The giant ape, formed by Han Li, saw the unusual expression on the demon's face clearly as blue light flashed in its pupils. It immediately let out a cold snort. Suddenly, with two whooshing sounds, it forcefully threw the two mountain peaks it held.
The two mountain peaks emitted black and green spiritual light. After leaving its hands, they expanded several times in size, becoming mountains over a hundred zhang tall, and hurtled towards the Blue-Patterned Venerable with incredible speed.
Before they even truly struck, two hurricanes whistled forward. The surrounding void twisted, and loud explosive sounds reverberated.
Witnessing this, the Blue Venerable's face changed. But then, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and abruptly pointed repeatedly at the two treasures hovering in front of him. Then, with a flicker of his body, he shot backward, taking his other treasures with him.
However, the two pointed-at treasures did not retreat; instead, they advanced directly towards the two mountain peaks. The moment before contact, they self-destructed with a mournful cry.
After two tremendous explosions, two huge halos of light appeared beneath the mountain peaks. The surging light and flames temporarily halted the descent of the two mountains, causing them to pause in mid-air.
However, in the next moment, the two mountain peaks, glowing brilliantly, sank downwards, forcefully crushing and dispersing the two halos.
Then, with a flash of golden light, the giant ape formed by Han Li appeared eerily beneath the mountains. With a casual lift of its two large, fan-like hands, it effortlessly stabilized and supported the two peaks once again.
The giant ape's eyes narrowed with a cold glint, fixing on a spot in the void hundreds of zhang away.
There, the Blue-Patterned Demon, taking advantage of the brief moment created by the self-destruction of his magic treasures, finally escaped temporarily from Han Li's relentless pursuit and now plunged towards the small mountain below.
At the same time, the thirteen true demons, who had been chaotically flying through the air, chased by over a dozen purple-patterned beetles, suddenly had their demonic flames multiply several times. They transformed into thirteen black orbs of light and shot away in the same direction.
The more than a dozen purple-patterned beetles, buzzing together, also transformed into specks of purple light and pursued them rapidly.
As for the blue flying serpents, under the crisscrossing sword threads, only a few remained in the blink of an eye.
Unfortunately, even though these flying serpents were rare exotic beasts in the Demon Realm, they were utterly shredded when facing the incomparably sharp Azure Bamboo Cloudswords, whose blades could easily become ethereal.
Originally, this type of flying serpent, combined with the Blue Venerable's cultivation method, should never have possessed such limited power. However, after the Blue-Patterned Demon himself was unexpectedly entangled by Han Li, they barely managed to unleash even one-tenth of their potential.
Although the Blue-Patterned Demon was greatly distressed by this, to lure Han Li away, he could only plunge into the small mountain below without looking back.
Witnessing this, the golden-furred giant ape, formed by Han Li, roared, then with a single stride of its massive legs, traversed hundreds of zhang in just a few flashes, appearing above the small mountain.
Flipping its hands, it hurled the two mountain peaks downwards again with tremendous force. The giant ape itself clenched its fists and descended like a fierce hurricane.
Seeing such a terrifying attack descend upon him, the Blue Venerable below showed no panic. Instead, a trace of wild joy flashed in his eyes. He suddenly shook his sleeve, and a dark, gleaming magic disc flew out, flashing once to transform into a pitch-black cloud that completely obscured his form.
With two loud "thud" sounds, as the two mountain peaks descended, the black cloud immediately dispersed into specks of spiritual light, but the Blue Venerable below had vanished without a trace.
Not only that, but centered on this small mountain, several nearby peaks each boomed, and suddenly, black light pillars shot out, transforming in a flash into enormous ritual flags, each as thick as a water vat.
Each flag was as thick as a water vat, dark in color, piercing directly into the clouds and mist, like pillars supporting the heavens.
Using these mountains as the array's core, a demonic array several li in size rumbled forth from underground.
The sky changed color, the void trembled, and torrents of dark demonic energy surged out from each array core.
The giant ape, formed by Han Li, felt black runes flashing all around it. The air tightened, and its body suddenly became stagnant in mid-air, unable to move.
Then, the black runes spun rapidly, exploding with successive "bangs," transforming into strands of black light.
These light strands flashed wildly. Upon condensing, they astonishingly transformed into dense, pitch-black chains that intertwined, instantly binding the giant ape securely.
Meanwhile, the black demonic energy below rumbled and surged, transforming into massive tentacles that also rapidly coiled towards the giant ape.
Blue light swirled in the giant ape's eyes, yet it showed no fear. Instead, it suddenly let out a low growl, and its protective fur instantly stood on end. Simultaneously, its body rapidly swelled to an immense size.
The thick black chains trembled violently, becoming taut and straight, and emitted a humming sound.
With a series of "crunching" sounds, the chains shattered inch by inch.
A ferocious expression appeared on the giant ape's face. Its arms immediately thickened by several circles and were raised high. The fur on its body instantly burst forth as countless golden rays.
Hissing sounds erupted. Where the golden light flashed, waves of ripples spread through the void, and an invisible barrier was forcefully shattered. Then, with a single hand, it clawed at the air, and a massive silver ruler materialized in its grasp.
After sweeping it around mercilessly, a silver beam of light, like a silver dragon from outside the heavens, roared forth. Wherever it passed, the tentacles formed by demonic energy were severed in two and fell.
At this moment, a figure flickered above another mountaintop, and the Blue-Patterned Demon appeared silently. Witnessing the giant ape's display of immense power, his face sank. But with a cold snort, he suddenly shook his sleeve, and a dark, gleaming gourd flew out. It inverted, and the gourd suddenly opened, releasing several flashes of green light that shot out and vanished into the nearby demonic energy.
The demon's other hand flipped, and the dark array disc reappeared. He opened his mouth, and a mouthful of vital blood spurted out, transforming into a blood mist that merged into it.
In the next moment, the previously severed giant tentacles violently shook, reconnecting as before, and surged forward menacingly once more.
This time, however, before the tentacles reached the giant ape, sharp whistling sounds suddenly erupted, and several bone tridents shot out from within them.
Each of these bone tridents was only about a foot long, but their tips were a vivid green, and a putrid smell emanated from them, clearly indicating extreme toxicity.
Seeing this, the giant ape's large nostrils flared. It then clenched its fists and slammed them onto its chest.
A thunderous clap!
Golden threads shot out from its body, flashing once to transform into thick golden arcs of electricity that formed a net, enveloping the giant ape's massive body.
The sound of thunder became continuous.
The wild bone tridents struck the golden arcs with a flash, and with a tremor, were momentarily halted.
Seizing this opportunity, the giant ape suddenly raised its head and let out a mighty roar!
The roar was deafening. With a flash, the golden arcs of electricity astonishingly thickened to the size of bowls and swept wildly outwards in all directions.
The bone tridents were struck almost simultaneously by over a dozen thick electrical arcs. Even though they were specially refined through demonic secret arts, how could they withstand such a ferocious onslaught of Evil-Slaying Divine Thunder? They were destroyed, turning into wisps of green smoke.
As for the giant tentacles, the moment they touched the bowl-sized golden arcs, they instantly disintegrated into mist and were swept away.
The Blue-Patterned Demon, watching from a distance, was first stunned, but then gasped in sudden realization:
"This is the Evil-Slaying Divine Thunder! He actually has this lightning for protection!"
The Blue Venerable was both shocked and enraged, his voice tinged with exasperation.
Those bone tridents might have seemed insignificant, but in reality, they were artifacts even ordinary Demon Lords greatly feared. There were few things in the world that could counter them, and the Evil-Slaying Divine Thunder happened to be one of them.
How could this not fill the demon with both shock and fury!
However, the giant ape formed by Han Li let out a wild laugh, clenched its fists, and fiercely punched towards the small mountain where the demon was.
With a surge of spatial fluctuation, a golden fist about an acre in size appeared above the small mountain in a flash and struck down powerfully.
The Blue Venerable's face changed. Without a word, he slammed his free hand onto the array disc in his other hand.
With a "poof," a surge of demonic energy erupted from where he stood, instantly engulfing his form.
An earth-shattering roar!
The massive golden fist slammed mercilessly onto the spot where the Blue-Patterned Demon had stood. The entire small mountain trembled violently, and with a booming sound, it collapsed into countless shattered rocks.
On another nearby mountaintop, a surge of demonic energy appeared out of thin air, and the Blue-Patterned Demon flashed into existence.
He quickly glanced back at the collapsing small mountain in the distance, and his expression grew even grimmer.
At this moment, the golden-furred giant ape did not stop its movements in the slightest. With a grasp in the air, the two black and green mountain peaks eerily reappeared in its hands. Without hesitation, it hurled them forcefully towards two other mountain peaks.
After two more rumbling sounds, those two small mountains also collapsed and disappeared.
At this point, the surging demonic energy beneath the demonic array became somewhat thinner, even sparse.
"You want to break the array? Dream on! This Venerable will never let you leave," the Blue Venerable said, a ferocious expression suddenly appearing on his face as his pupils constricted, having witnessed this scene.
No sooner had he finished speaking than he suddenly gritted his teeth. With one hand forming a seal, he violently shook the sleeve of his other hand, and over a dozen blood-red pills flew out.
The nearby black energy churned, and thirteen stark white skeletons strangely flashed into existence. After opening their mouths and swallowing the blood pills, they began to dance wildly around the Blue Venerable, black flames flickering in their eye sockets.
As for the Blue-Patterned Demon Venerable himself, he suddenly slapped the top of his own head. With a flash of blood-red light, pieces of flesh astonishingly began to fall from his body.
In an instant, an equally terrifying stark white skeleton appeared amidst the thirteen other skeletons.
