Chapter 2115: Crisis After Crisis

Fantasy Cultivation

Volume 10: War in the Demon Realm

At this moment, Han Li had not only activated his Wind-Thunder Wings but was also holding a small, several-inch-tall cauldron in one hand.

It was palm-sized, radiating a dazzling purple glow!

"Purpleflame Cauldron! Isn't that Bloodlight's treasure? How did it get into your hands? Never mind. Even with that, do you really think a mere imitation Profound Treasure can withstand a single strike from my Dark Demon Dagger? What wishful thinking!" The black-robed youth exclaimed, momentarily surprised upon seeing the small purple cauldron in Han Li's hand, but then quickly dismissed it with a cold scoff.

No sooner had he spoken than a sharp "hissing" sound erupted from the void around Han Li. Dense black threads reappeared, shooting like persistent parasites from all directions towards Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li's expression hardened. He suddenly tossed the small purple cauldron into the air, quickly formed a hand seal with one hand, pointed a finger, and simultaneously uttered the word "Seal."

A misty green beam shot out from his fingertip, transforming into surges of pure spiritual energy that poured into the small cauldron.

Immediately, the treasure burst forth with dazzling light. An ancient character, "Seal," flew out from it, swayed, and then suddenly expanded a hundredfold, transforming into a hazy purple phantom that completely enveloped Han Li's figure.

At that very moment, the black threads flashed and swiftly struck the square-shaped phantom.

A tremendous "rumbling" sound erupted!

Black and purple light intertwined and flashed together, erupting into skull-sized orbs of light.

Although the black threads were incredibly sharp, the Purpleflame Cauldron, even among imitation Profound Sky Treasures, was a top-tier artifact. Moreover, Han Li had already refined it to be fully under his control. Thus, when he activated it without holding back his spiritual power, it unleashed 120% of its might. The illusory purple rune it manifested solidified into a crystal-like entity amidst a humming sound.

Even if those black threads were attacks from a genuine Profound Sky Treasure, they were merely a casual strike from the black-robed youth. Thus, they only penetrated about a foot deep into the purple phantom before being unable to advance any further, effectively being held back outside.

The black-robed youth showed no change in expression upon seeing this, but a cold glint flashed in his pupils.

At the same time, the hand gripping the large black blade flickered with a faint black light.

The next moment, a piercing screech erupted from within the massive purple rune phantom!

After trembling, the black threads' power surged by more than twofold. The seemingly indestructible purple phantom instantly began to crack open.

Amidst the purple light, the black threads rapidly converged on Han Li at the center from all directions.

Han Li's expression changed. He altered his hand seal, preparing to activate the Purpleflame Cauldron again to unleash other profound transformations.

But it was already too late!

The small cauldron, still emitting purple light, let out a mournful whine. A "crack" sound followed, and countless white fissures appeared on its surface. With another flash, it shattered into a burst of light and flames.

The purple rune phantom blurred, then instantly dissipated into thin air.

After a flash, the dense black threads were no longer obstructed and surged towards the center.

They looked as if they intended to slice Han Li into a thousand pieces.

Han Li's pupils suddenly contracted. Without hesitation, he clenched both fists and let out an earth-shattering roar.

In an instant, black mist swirled around him, and countless black runes surged out from his body. They then condensed into a battle armor as black as ink.

At the same time, golden light burst from his back, and a three-headed, six-armed golden Dharma Idol appeared, rising to the sky. With a wave of its six arms, each palm shot out a ball of golden light, which converged in front of him, forming a colossal golden vortex.

A booming sound echoed within!

As the vortex spun wildly, countless golden runes surged out from it, transforming into immense forces that forcibly drew in some of the black threads.

As for the three-headed, six-armed Dharma Idol, golden light swirled around its body, solidifying it into a dazzling golden entity. A faint, golden armored suit vaguely appeared on its form, and then it flashed, positioning itself in front of Han Li.

As the golden body's six emotionless golden eyes opened, its arms immediately began to wildly flail like phantoms.

In an instant, countless golden fist-shadows appeared out of thin air in the surrounding void. With a flash, they swept out like a raging storm in all directions.

Meanwhile, Han Li's main body suddenly stomped the void with one foot, and his figure rapidly shot backward.

Thunder rumbled from the wings on his back, and countless golden arcs of electricity shot out from them. Upon condensing, they transformed into clusters of golden thunderballs, which whistled towards the black threads behind him.

Not only that, the moment the golden thunderballs were released, a flash of green light behind Han Li also ejected seventy-two small swords, each about an inch long.

With a shake, these small swords transformed into seventy-two misty green sword lights, which fiercely slashed downwards. Immediately, thousands of ten-foot-long sword lights surged forth, blurring into a hazy green sword mountain phantom that, with the sound of wind and thunder, struck the black thread-net behind.

After an earth-shattering roar, a cyan sun rose from the black threads, emitting astonishing, violent fluctuations.

Amidst this booming sound, the golden thunderballs also flashed, merging into the cyan sun.

In an instant, thunderous roars, sword qi sounds, and humming noises all erupted simultaneously. Unbelievably dazzling clusters of light continuously exploded in the surrounding void. From afar, more than half of the sky above the pond was illuminated by the blinding light.

Upon witnessing this scene, the black-robed youth's divine sense stirred, and for the first time, a trace of surprise flickered across his face. He simply said, "Go!"

Elder Long's eyes lit up. He suddenly transmitted a fierce message to the feathered-robe maiden and Bai Qi, then moved, transforming into a dazzling golden rainbow that shot backward and away.

The reason he was willing to notify the two in such a perilous situation was naturally not out of good intentions. Rather, he wanted to seize the opportunity while the black-robed youth was distracted. If several of them escaped together, the chances of success would naturally increase significantly.

As expected, upon hearing the message, the feathered-robe maiden immediately flapped the five-colored flame wings on her back, transforming into a five-colored phantom that streaked through the air towards another direction.

However, Bai Qi remained motionless, as if he hadn't noticed their actions at all.

Seeing Bai Qi's behavior, Elder Long grew even more surprised and suspicious. Yet, the golden rainbow he transformed into accelerated even more. With just two flashes, he was over a thousand feet away, and without hesitation, he shot towards the hazy green light barrier high above, intent on escaping the valley.

On the other side, the feathered-robe maiden also reached the edge of the valley. With a spread of her wings, her figure abruptly vanished into the void.

It seemed she intended to use her divine ability to directly teleport beyond the light barrier.

Under these circumstances, as long as they got outside the valley and fled in different directions, if their luck wasn't too bad, it was possible for someone to escape with their lives.

But strangely, the black-robed youth merely glanced at their escaping lights from afar, making no move to stop them. A hint of a sneer played on his lips.

With a muffled "thud."

The moment Elder Long's escaping light touched the hazy green light barrier, the golden light flickered, and he stumbled backward, rebounding and reappearing.

The green light barrier, which could previously be entered with ease, had now astonishingly become an impenetrable wall. When the escaping light crashed into it, it not only rebounded but also met an irresistible force surging from the barrier, preventing it from piercing through easily.

Elder Long quickly steadied himself, but his face was ashen, and his heart sank.

At any other time, this layer of restriction would indeed be troublesome, but he was confident that with a few methods, he could break through the current barrier.

However, attempting such a feat in front of a Demon Saint Ancestor was pure wishful thinking.

How could this demon realm titan truly leave them time to break it?

It wasn't just him; the vanished feathered-robe maiden also reappeared instantly in front of the light barrier.

In her shock and fury, the maiden repeatedly tried several other spatial secret arts, but likewise could not penetrate the light barrier.

The maiden turned her head to glance back towards the pond. Under her faceplate, her face was completely devoid of color.

Suddenly, an ape's cry rang out from above the pond!

Then, the dazzling light nearby receded, and two explosive roars emanated from within. Two powerful gales and a massive black shadow burst out one after another, then flashed, appearing high in the air several dozen feet away, finally revealing their true forms.

It was a ten-zhang-tall golden-haired giant ape, clad in pitch-black demonic armor, with a small green mountain in one hand and a small black mountain in the other, each several zhang high.

Han Li had, at a critical juncture, transformed into the golden-haired giant ape. Using his terrifying divine strength, augmented by the power of two extreme mountains, and under the cover of various divine abilities like the Demon-Ward Amulet Thunder and the Brahma-Saint Golden Body, he forcibly tore open a path through the black threads, barely managing to escape.

Even so, numerous fine cracks had appeared on the surface of his demonic armor, which were slowly mending themselves.

This was the result of Han Li himself having previously used a true Profound Sky Treasure multiple times, allowing him to faintly grasp a sliver of life.

Had it been Elder Long and the feathered-robe maiden instead, even if they possessed similar divine abilities to Han Li, their panic would have led to their gruesome deaths on the spot.

After all, those black threads were truly terrifying; not only were they incredibly sharp and virtually indestructible, but they could also pierce through the void, eliminating enemies invisibly.

"Interesting! Truly interesting. It seems this Elder has indeed come to the right place. Not only have I encountered a pseudo-immortal body, but also a human cultivator capable of unleashing True Spirit bloodline to such an extent. Little fellow, you don't just have one True Spirit bloodline within you, do you? What other divine abilities do you possess? Unleash them all for me. Otherwise, with the next strike, I will use nearly half the power of my Dark Demon Dagger, and you will certainly not escape the fate of having your soul scattered! As for you two, don't waste your efforts trying to escape. This island is called Bitter Spirit Island, and this valley is called Spirit-Trapping Valley. You Spirit Realm people, once you arrive here, there is only one path: complete annihilation." The black-robed youth, witnessing this scene, slightly shook the large black sword in his hand and burst into delighted laughter instead of anger.

"Brother Long, Fairy Ye. Don't harbor any other thoughts. If the few of us fight together, there might still be a sliver of hope. If we lose all fighting spirit, we will truly all perish here. Fellow Daoist Bai, I don't know what you're thinking, but don't be clever for your own good. Do you really think you can remain aloof?" A ferocious expression appeared on the golden-haired giant ape's face. As its mouth opened, Han Li's booming voice resounded.
