**Volume 10: The War of the Demon Realm, Chapter 1928: Splitting Souls and Slaying Corpses**

Upon hearing this, Han Li's heart instantly filled with joy. His previous question had been a casual one, not expecting the other party to genuinely resolve his confusion, but to his surprise, the man seemed to truly know something.

It seemed Che Qigong's claim of being one of the Demon Realm's longest-lived Holy Ancestors was indeed true.

As Han Li watched the old man, quietly waiting, Che Qigong alternately gazed up at the sky, his eyes flickering, and then lowered his head in thought, his expression constantly changing. Occasionally, he would murmur a few inaudible words.

Seeing this, Han Li's heart stirred slightly.

“I remember now. Our Sacred Realm does indeed have an ancient forbidden technique that seems capable of achieving such a feat. However, this forbidden technique has been lost for many years, and once cultivated, it carries immense risks and endless repercussions. Even in ancient times, very few Holy Ancestors dared to cultivate this forbidden technique. Currently, there are only a few individuals in the Sacred Realm, including myself, who are aware of its existence. Where did that scoundrel Bloodlight get the cultivation method for this forbidden technique?” Che Qigong finally spoke, his brow deeply furrowed.

“Forbidden technique? Senior, could you please explain it in more detail?” Han Li asked, somewhat surprised.

“This forbidden technique is called 'Splitting Souls and Slaying Corpses.' It is said to be a secret art that completely splits one's primordial spirit. Each divided divine sense possesses independent consciousness and can manipulate a portion of one's magic power, but their personalities become extremely radical, posing immense hidden dangers. Furthermore, the splitting process itself, if not handled carefully, can easily lead to damage to the primordial spirit. However, these split divine senses are not mere avatars; each can be considered a true body of the practitioner, with no absolute primary or secondary distinction. As for more specific details, even I am not entirely clear. However, the power of the clones created by this technique largely depends on the number of divine senses split. But since it involves descending from another realm to the Spirit Realm, it's unlikely that overly powerful clones would be able to descend. Even so, it would still be far more powerful than the descending divine sense avatars of other ordinary Holy Ancestors,” the old man said slowly, while deep in thought.

“Does this technique have any exploitable flaws?” Han Li asked, his expression darkening after listening.

“This forbidden technique naturally has immense flaws, but those are issues for later. During a battle, there truly are no obvious weaknesses,” the old man replied, looking somewhat helpless.

“In that case, never mind. I will act according to circumstances when the time comes. Originally, I only intended to shake off these avatars anyway.” Han Li nodded, seemingly no longer intending to ask for further details.

He bowed slightly to the old man, and after a flicker of black light on his body, he suddenly vanished into a cloud of black mist.

Che Qigong gazed at the spot where Han Li had disappeared, his previous expression receding as his face turned blank. He then floated motionless in the air above the grassland.

“You've watched for quite some time now, surely that's enough. Why bother hiding anymore!” the old man suddenly said indifferently.

“Indeed, I still can’t hide from Brother Che's senses. In that case, it matters little whether I reveal myself or not.” After a cold laugh, another male voice suddenly resonated from the nearby void, sounding ancient and weathered.

“If I can break through the restrictions to reach this layer, you naturally can too. The last time I met this human cultivator, you were following him, weren’t you?” Che Qigong asked with a sinking expression, a hint of displeasure in his tone.

“Since Brother Che already knows, why ask such a question? Are you perhaps trying to accuse me of something?” The stranger replied indifferently after a moment of silence.

“Hmph, if I weren't able to overpower you, do you think I truly wouldn't do so?” Che Qigong retorted sharply.

“Brother Che has always been the most ruthless among us. I imagine if Bloodlight hadn't openly moved against us all, Brother Che would probably have dealt with us himself,” the stranger said, his voice turning cold upon hearing this.

“Why bother playing the good guy? Back then, weren't we all harboring ulterior motives? Let bygones be bygones, but this time, that human youth is my only chance to escape. If you dare ruin my plans, don't blame me for turning ruthless,” Che Qigong said, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, enunciating each word.

“Alright. As long as I get half of the Primal Chaos Qi obtained from that human youth. Not only will I not ruin your plans, but once I'm free, I'll help you deal with Bloodlight,” the stranger stated his conditions unceremoniously.

“It seems if I don't agree to your terms, you certainly won't give up. Giving you half of the Primal Chaos Qi is naturally impossible. I can give you a quarter. If you don't agree, then it's up to you,” Che Qigong said, his eyes flickering a few times, speaking with extreme composure.

“A quarter. Heh heh, that's enough for me to protect myself and escape. Alright, I agree,” the stranger readily agreed without hesitation.

“Good, in that case. Once we're out, after refining this Demon Suppressing Lock and restoring our past cultivation, we can seek out Bloodlight again to avenge the past. He is now treading the same path we took back then, and this is his weakest moment,” Che Qigong said, his expression softening.

“That is truly strange. Bloodlight has personally experienced the dangers of this technique before, yet he dares to cultivate it again? Isn't he afraid of repeating past mistakes?” The stranger also seemed very puzzled.

“Hmph, who knows what Bloodlight is planning? Perhaps he has found a way to avoid the risks of this technique, or there are other reasons why he had no choice but to cultivate it again. But regardless of the reason, his cultivation is definitely greatly diminished now, making it an excellent opportunity for us to seek revenge,” Che Qigong replied, a malicious glint flashing in his eyes.

“The first possibility is unlikely. As for other reasons, we'll naturally find out when we meet Bloodlight himself.” The stranger's voice also turned chilling, evidently harboring an intense hatred for that Holy Ancestor Bloodlight.

“Bloodlight's expression when he sees the two of us will surely be quite something. However, for us to truly witness that scene, this young man Han must first overcome his current challenge. If he fails to escape the pursuit of Bloodlight's avatars, the Demon Suppressing Lock will fall back into Bloodlight's hands. While there wouldn't be much danger for us hiding inside, escaping again would be a delusion,” Che Qigong said, his expression somewhat grave.

“Brother Che, haven't you already told him all the methods to deal with those two treasures? Without those two treasures, that young man should be able to protect himself!” the stranger said slowly.

“We've only seen one of his divine sense avatars, so we can't judge his true cultivation. But since he was able to snatch the Demon Suppressing Lock from Bloodlight, his divine abilities can't be too poor,” Che Qigong said, frowning slightly.

“Heh heh, let's hope so,” the stranger replied noncommittally.

Che Qigong gave a wry smile and said no more.

Outside the Demon Suppressing Lock, within the mysterious space inside the giant roc's body, Han Li's golden Nascent Soul remained quietly seated in its original spot.

Suddenly, a flicker of black mist appeared on the surface of the wooden box in front of it, and a faint phantom shot out. With a flash, it transformed into a black Nascent Soul identical in appearance. This demonic Nascent Soul gave Han Li a wide smile, and with a flash, merged into the golden Nascent Soul's body. The two Nascent Souls instantly became one.

The golden Nascent Soul's form trembled, and its hands quickly performed a series of incantations. A flicker of discomfort briefly crossed its face, but its expression immediately cleared, returning to normal.

“So that's it! This trip wasn't in vain; I finally obtained a method to deal with those two treasures. Although I don't know if it's true or false, I can only try it for now. If it's useless, then I'll have no choice but to abandon this Demon Suppressing Lock or resort to other risky methods,” the golden Nascent Soul slowly opened its eyes, its pupils as clear as water, and murmured to itself.

Its expression shifted as it pondered for a long while, until finally, a faint smile appeared at the corner of its mouth. With a 'bang,' its form disintegrated into specks of golden light that scattered into thin air.

Two hours later, Han Li, in his form as a giant roc, saw a vast, hazy yellow plateau appear in the distance. Its surface was barren, devoid of any vegetation, and exceptionally desolate.

Seeing this, the silver giant roc's eyes flashed with a sharp glint. After letting out a long cry with its head raised, it suddenly retracted all four wings simultaneously and reverted to human form amidst a myriad of colorful light.

Han Li glanced at the distant plateau, then turned his head to survey the area behind him. Without a word, he shook both sleeves.

Seventy-two small green swords instantly surged forth, blurring into hundreds of green sword-lights that ceaselessly circled and danced around him.

Han Li performed a hand seal with one hand, and a hazy green spiritual light appeared on his body. With a flash, all the sword-lights suddenly vanished into the nearby void.

The next moment, hundreds of green light pillars erupted from all directions. As they swirled around Han Li, countless sword-qi crisscrossed, and a formidable, colossal sword formation instantly took shape!

It was precisely the final sword formation of the New Azure Origin Sword Art, the 'Azure Coiling Formation'.

Although this sword formation originated from Azure Yuanzi, after Han Li later incorporated the 'Mind Sword Art' that he had comprehended, its power became even greater than the original formation. It had displayed some of its profound mystique when he previously dealt with the white-robed demonic lord in the form of a young man.

However, he wasn't entirely confident about how effective this sword formation would be against the pursuing enemies behind him, so he could only deploy it and give it a try.

Nevertheless, since Han Li intended to formally engage the enemy here, it was naturally impossible for him to rely on only one divine ability.

As soon as he finished setting up the sword formation, he immediately swayed his shoulders, and two shadows, one golden and one green, shot out from his body, splitting to his left and right.

With a flash, they transformed respectively into a formidable golden statue with three heads and six arms, and a green-skinned 'Han Li'.

These were none other than his True Saint Golden Body and his Spiritual Body.

Without hesitation, Han Li's hand made a grasping motion in the air, and a golden broken blade appeared. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed it towards the True Saint Golden Body.

The middle head of the golden body opened its eyes, and with a wave of a large hand, it swiftly drew the broken blade into its palm with a 'whoosh.'
