Chapter 2169: Fighting Beasts

At that moment, the giant beast below could no longer restrain itself. With a furious roar, it suddenly thrust both large hands upwards, striking violently at the sky.

After the space in front of the giant hands blurred, a deafening roar suddenly erupted, and waves of misty white ripples surged directly towards Han Li.

Han Li's eyebrows twitched slightly. Without moving an inch in the air, he suddenly flipped his palm, and amid the shimmering gray light, a small black mountain appeared before him.

The mountain was completely black and several zhang tall, looking quite striking; it was none other than the Primeval Magnetic Mountain!

The white ripples, like turbulent waves, crashed against it, unleashing bursts of roaring sound, yet the black mountain remained as steady as Mount Tai, unmoving.

Simultaneously, the Leopard-Qilin Beast blurred, transforming into more than a dozen identical phantoms, which then charged fiercely towards the Magnetic Light Beast below.

In an instant, the dozen phantoms appeared around the giant beast. As their claws extended, countless claw shadows shot out from all directions, shimmering with golden light, and struck the beast's enormous body.

Numerous golden explosions erupted on the giant beast's body, and some colorful stones clattered and fell from it, yet the Magnetic Light Beast remained completely unharmed.

Instead, the beast grew enraged, and its dozen compound eyes simultaneously glared fiercely at the nearby Leopard-Qilin Beast phantoms.

A flash of multi-colored light erupted from its compound eyes, followed by loud "thudding" sounds!

Over a dozen five-colored light beams shot out, and after a flicker, they enveloped all the golden beast phantoms.

An incredible scene unfolded!

Wherever the five-colored light beams passed, the phantoms created by the Leopard-Qilin Beast trembled and were frozen in mid-air, unable to even twitch an eyelid.

The next moment, a cruel expression appeared on the giant beast's face. The five-colored light beams projected from its compound eyes merely spun rapidly, and the enveloped Leopard-Qilin Beast phantoms instantly appeared to be struck by countless sharp blades, tearing into countless fragments.

However, even after all the phantoms vanished, not a single drop of blood remained in the air.

Clearly, none of these phantoms were the Leopard-Qilin Beast's true form!

The Magnetic Light Beast clearly realized this, but its fury did not diminish. Instead, the five-colored light beams from its compound eyes intensified, visibly growing thicker, and then swept wildly across the surrounding space.

When one of the five-colored light beams paused slightly, the surrounding spatial fluctuations solidified, and a golden beast phantom stumbled into existence out of thin air.

It was indeed the Leopard-Qilin Beast's true form!

The giant beast was overjoyed. Without hesitation, it violently shook its head, and its dozen compound eyes immediately focused on the Leopard-Qilin Beast.

The dozen five-colored light beams then converged, merging into a single, unusually thick beam of light that rolled directly towards the small beast.

The Leopard-Qilin Beast was greatly alarmed. It moved its body, preparing to transform and escape again.

But before the five-colored light beam even descended, the surrounding space abruptly tightened, becoming as solid as refined steel. Its mystical abilities were momentarily unable to break free and escape.

Seeing the thick light beam about to truly envelop its main body, the small beast finally panicked, urgently letting out whimpering sounds for help.

"Hmph, so now you know fear. Even I suffered a slight disadvantage from this Magnetic Light Beast's mystical ability when caught off guard. With your cultivation, you're no match for it."

At that critical moment, Han Li's voice drifted down calmly from high above!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a golden sword light, over a hundred zhang long, tore through the air, cleaving the golden beam of light cleanly in half.

The Leopard-Qilin Beast felt the pressure around it release, instantly regaining its freedom.

Overjoyed, it immediately blurred, once again transforming into a phantom that shot towards Han Li.

In just a few flashes, the golden beast phantom reappeared beside Han Li, looking quite dejected.

Han Li held a golden greatsword, about a zhang long, in one hand, while still clutching the green stone in the other. Seeing the Leopard-Qilin Beast's pitiful expression, he smiled faintly. However, before he could say anything more, the Magnetic Light Beast below grew furious because of Han Li's recent intervention.

The beast's body shuddered. Not only did its dozen compound eyes on its head release another dozen five-colored light beams, but the stones on its massive body also shook loose, transforming into a dense rain of meteor-like stones that plummeted directly towards Han Li.

Although these stones were utterly insignificant compared to the Magnetic Light Beast's enormous body, even the smallest were the size of a human head, while the larger ones were as big as houses. As they rained down, covering the sky, their momentum was truly astonishing.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged upon seeing this. With a single flick of his hand, the golden greatsword vanished. Then, unhurriedly, he pointed a finger at the small black mountain in front of him.

With a soft "humph"!

Several silver runes flashed on the black mountain's surface, and its size instantly expanded a hundredfold, transforming into a peak hundreds of zhang tall. It completely shielded Han Li and the Leopard-Qilin Beast behind it, protecting them thoroughly.

Whether it was the five-colored light beams or the giant stones, as soon as they struck the black mountain peak, they were enveloped by a misty gray light and then forcefully blocked with dull thuds.

Not only that, Han Li took a deep breath, and with an open mouth, a burst of azure vital energy spewed forth, instantly vanishing into the black mountain peak. The next moment, the entire mountain hummed loudly, and rings of gray light surged out like a tide. They solidified high in the air, transforming into a colossal cloud ring about a li in diameter. The entire ring shimmered with light, appearing incredibly dense and solid as it descended.

The cloud ring seemed to descend silently, yet it exuded an terrifying aura. The moment it began its descent, the surrounding air roared and surged outwards.

Under its influence, the sky within a ten-li radius even darkened.

Although the Primeval Magnetic Mountain was still the same one, as Han Li's magic power grew increasingly profound, fully activating it now caused a dramatic change in the surroundings, vastly different from when he had just advanced to the late Integration Stage.

The Magnetic Light Beast below frantically launched a barrage of attacks from its compound eyes and body crystals. When it saw that it still couldn't stop the colossal cloud ring from descending, a hint of fear finally flashed in its eyes.

It seemed to realize the gravity of the situation. With a loud roar, it bent its four limbs, and its massive body immediately lay prostrate on the ground.

Following this, a multi-colored aura flowed over the giant beast's surface, and its body suddenly became crystal clear and transparent, as if it had transformed into a colossal, translucent crystal!

At the center of the crystal, there was strikingly a gigantic green light cluster.

Within the light cluster, a green stone vaguely shimmered, remarkably similar to the one Han Li held in his hand, though its size was magnified countless times and its color much lighter.

"Is it going all out now? This is a good chance to see whether the legendary Great Five-Element True Light of Yin-Yang or the Primeval Magnetic Divine Light is stronger," Han Li muttered to himself, a glint in his eyes, feeling pleased rather than surprised by the sight.

Then, with a thought, he urged the Primeval Mountain, and the black peak's aura intensified once more. The misty gray cloud ring responded by expanding, growing noticeably larger, almost obscuring half the sky.

Just as the colossal cloud ring was about to press down on the Magnetic Light Beast, the beast finally prepared its mystical ability. Its body contracted, and the green stone within it suddenly brightened, erupting with a burst of dazzling five-colored light.

Amplified more than a hundredfold through the beast's crystalline body, these dazzling lights then solidified outwards, transforming into a brilliant disc, no smaller than the cloud ring, that shot upwards with a piercing shriek.

The gray cloud ring and the brilliant disc: one silent, one piercingly sharp!

The next moment, an earth-shattering roar echoed!

The cloud ring and the disc, two colossal entities, collided in mid-air. Rings of air waves splattered outwards, instantly forming swirling white hurricanes that surged into the sky, while countless threads of light and gray mist shot out in all directions.

For a moment, hissing sounds reverberated across the entire sky.

But the cloud ring and the disc immediately trembled violently, then flickered and vanished simultaneously in mid-air.

Seeing this, Han Li's heart tensed.

The Magnetic Light Beast below only had a cultivation around the mid-Integration Stage, yet the attacks it unleashed, transformed from the Great Five-Element True Light of Yin-Yang, could contend with his fully activated Primeval Magnetic Divine Light without falling into a disadvantage. Didn't this mean that even without considering the Great Five-Element True Light's ability to integrate with all techniques, merely as an ordinary offensive method, its power was already superior to the Primeval Magnetic Divine Light?

No wonder the refining method for the Five Peaks of Primal Harmony mentioned that the Yin-Yang Great Five-Element Ultimate Mountain was the most difficult to refine.

Han Li pondered this secretly, but his heart grew even more fervent for this mystical ability. Without another word, he formed a hand seal with one hand!

Golden light suddenly burst forth from his body, and his figure expanded wildly against the wind, instantly transforming into a golden-furred giant ape over a hundred zhang tall. One of its massive hands then grabbed at the air.

The black mountain peak in front of him suddenly blurred and rapidly shrunk, becoming only about ten zhang in size, then flew with a "swoosh" into the giant ape's furry hand.

The giant ape let out a mighty roar, and the colossal three-headed, six-armed demonic manifestation behind it also flashed into existence.

The three identical faces of the demonic manifestation were expressionless, but after the black mist coalesced, a pitch-black demonic eye appeared between the brows of each face. They slowly opened, simultaneously fixating on the Magnetic Light Beast below.

After three "puffing" sounds, three slender black threads shot out simultaneously from the demonic eyes. With a slight tremor, they transformed into sinister black light beams as thick as an arm, then flickered and eerily vanished.

Almost simultaneously, the giant ape swung the arm holding the small mountain, then hurled it downwards with great force.

A deafening boom!

The Primeval Magnetic Mountain also vibrated violently and vanished from between the giant ape's fingers.

The next moment, in the space just a few zhang above the Magnetic Light Beast, violent fluctuations suddenly erupted, and three black light beams shot out simultaneously. At another nearby location, the black mountain also transformed into a mass of black light, tearing through the air to arrive.

The Magnetic Light Beast was greatly alarmed. It instinctively contracted its body again, and the green stone within it suddenly flared, emitting an even more dazzling and blinding light.

Amplified through the beast's crystalline body, from a distance it appeared as if a five-colored blazing sun was slowly rising within it! (To be continued)
