Chapter 2207: Wooden Tribe Battle (Twelve)

Six golden orbs of light flashed like lightning before heavily striking the old man's protective spiritual energy.

With a thunderous roar, the six orbs simultaneously exploded, transforming into golden waves that instantly enveloped the old man's body.

Although the demonic elder's spiritual energy defense was comparable to a top-tier treasure, it shattered in an instant. With a resolute look, he bit off half his tongue, mixing it with a mouthful of vital essence blood, and spat it out backwards.

In a flash, a blood shield materialized behind the elder.

The golden light, swirling, struck the blood shield hard, but after only momentary resistance, a small portion of the golden light forcefully pierced through and fiercely impacted the elder's body.

The robed elder felt a powerful force surge from his back, unable to stand firm. He stumbled forward several steps, his throat suddenly sweet, and he couldn't help but spit out several mouthfuls of dark red blood, his consciousness becoming hazy.

At that moment, the giant ape, standing high in the sky, suddenly stepped forward. Its body blurred, then it eerily appeared in front of the elder, a golden furry hand shooting out like lightning.

The demonic elder, greatly alarmed, tried to cast a spell to dodge, but it was already too late.

The golden furry hand's fingers spread, piercing through the elder's chest and forcibly tearing out his heart.

Silver flames erupted from the entire arm, and the surging spiritual fire instantly reduced both the elder and his heart to ashes, preventing even his Nascent Soul from escaping.

The entire kill took only an instant!

The seven demonic women below had only just reacted, and upon seeing the elder fall, a hint of fear appeared on their faces.

Instantly, the seven women simultaneously let out a "delicate cry," flapped their wings, and transformed into seven streaks of light, shooting off in different directions. Without any further hesitation, they fled directly.

"Trying to escape? Do you really think mere clones can deceive me?" The giant ape, formed by Han Li, scoffed. Its blue eyes flashed wildly as it swept over the seven streaks of light. A rumble of thunder sounded from its back, and a pair of enormous crystalline wings instantly appeared. With a powerful flap, countless thunder spheres immediately materialized.

As the thunder cracked, all the lightning spheres simultaneously burst into silver-white electric light. The giant ape's massive body blurred, instantly transforming into a thread of blue-white light that shot out. In a single flash, it traversed hundreds of yards, suddenly appearing above one of the winged woman's escaping streaks of light.

The light receded, and the giant ape's form reappeared.

Upon seeing this, the demonic woman below's face dramatically changed. Her escaping light intensified as she tried to forcefully activate her potential to accelerate her escape, but it was already too late.

After a mighty roar from the giant ape, its golden fur bristled, and its body swelled against the wind, instantly growing to a hundred zhang in size.

Clenching its two massive fists, they transformed into two golden meteors, smashing downwards fiercely.

Before they even truly descended, an invisible immense force enveloped all the surrounding space within a li. The winged woman's escaping light slowed, and her flight speed immediately became incredibly sluggish.

Her face paled, and she let out a shrill scream. The bodies of the other six women, who were fleeing in different directions, flickered with light and then dispersed and vanished.

Meanwhile, the winged woman under the giant ape's attack experienced an instant surge of several times in her aura. At the same time, she raised both hands towards the sky, and two fist-sized dark spheres shot out. She then violently shook her wings upwards, causing countless feathers to detach and spray out like a rain of dark light.

Amidst the whistling sounds of tearing air, two earth-shattering explosions roared out!

The two spheres, upon contact with the two golden giant fists, instantly burst into two black suns. Inky black flames surged upwards, obscuring an acre of the sky.

A dense barrage of dark lights, like crossbow bolts, also shot into the black demonic flames.

After the massive explosion, the terrifying aura that had been descending from above eased, and the surrounding immense pressure lightened.

The winged woman rejoiced, and without a word, her body's escaping light flared, transforming her into a long rainbow that shot out once more.

However, as her escaping light traveled only a dozen yards, a muffled sound, like space being torn, came from high above.

A flash of golden and silver light appeared simultaneously, and a golden giant fist, enveloped in silver flames and carrying a powerful gust of wind, smashed down from within the dark flames.

"Oh no!"

Seeing the golden giant fist's momentum, the winged woman instantly shrieked and spat out a small green shield towards the sky. It flickered and grew several zhang in size, blocking the area above her. At the same time, her wings wrapped around her body, transforming into an exquisite suit of battle armor that protected every inch of her skin.

With a resounding "boom!"

The green shield instantly shattered and vanished. Subsequently, the winged woman was smashed down by the golden giant fist, transforming into a ball of black light that plummeted heavily from the sky.

With a loud crash on the ground, a humanoid crater about a zhang deep miraculously appeared in the dense forest.

The winged demonic woman was literally embedded within the ground, completely weakened by the immense force, her meridians limp, unable to move even an inch for a while.

High above, a sudden strong wind arose, sweeping away all the dark flames without a trace.

The colossal giant ape that emerged was now vastly different from before. Its entire body was covered in faint golden scales, a single horn grew from its head, and a dark demonic eye had appeared between its brows.

"Nirvana Transformation!"

Upon seeing the demonic giant ape's form in the sky, the winged woman was instantly scared out of her wits.

However, the giant ape merely gave a ferocious smile in the air, then pressed down from above with a golden furry hand, its fingers spread wide.

A resounding boom!

The ground within a li radius violently shook, trees within the area crumbled into powder, and a giant handprint, about an acre in size, was clearly etched onto the ground.

The winged woman was directly at the center of this giant imprint and was instantly crushed into paste without even a scream. Her Nascent Soul was annihilated by the immense force in a blink.

Seeing this, the demonic giant ape in the air finally let out a long breath. With a single-handed incantation, its enormous body quickly shrank, and in moments, it dispelled its transformation, returning to its human form.

After a cold glance downwards, Han Li suddenly beckoned with one hand, while with the other, he merely flicked a finger.

With a whoosh, a storage bracelet instantly shot up from the ground into Han Li's hand.

Simultaneously, a silver spark drifted gently downwards.

With a *puff*, the demonic woman's remains were instantly enveloped by surging silver flames, turning into a wisp of smoke and vanishing.

Just then, with a whoosh through the air, a hazy blue figure flashed into existence beside Han Li, respectfully handing him another storage bracelet and a white jade bottle.

It was the spiritual body that had previously launched a sneak attack on the demonic elder.

The one controlling the spiritual body was, naturally, the young girl Qu'er.

As for the three-headed, six-armed golden shadow that had appeared alongside them, it was a manifestation of Han Li's Brahma Holy Golden Body. However, when he transformed into the Nirvana Body later, it was silently recalled to his main body.

Han Li's divine sense swiftly swept through the two storage bracelets. He then tossed them, along with the white jade bottle, into his possession. Without another word, golden light flared around his body, enveloping the nearby spiritual body, and together they transformed into a long, startling rainbow that tore through the air and departed.

A distance of over ten thousand li could, of course, be covered by someone of Han Li's divine abilities in an instant.

As the robed elder and the winged woman, both Saint Ancestor avatars, fell one after another, almost simultaneously, the petite demonic woman battling desperately with the golden giant crab thousands of miles away suddenly sensed something. She gasped in alarm:

"This is bad! I've lost contact with Daoist Brother She and the other one. Something must have happened to them. We don't need to keep fighting this pseudo-immortal puppet anymore. Let's go!"

No sooner had she spoken than the demonic woman immediately retracted several treasures. At the same time, she shook one sleeve downwards, and a golden light shot out. After a swirl, it transformed into a golden wheel about a zhang in size.

With a hum, the wheel instantly transformed into a ball of golden light, enveloping the petite woman, then tore through the air towards the horizon with incredible speed.

Upon hearing the petite woman's words and seeing her subsequent actions, the golden-armored man and the three-eyed demon's faces also changed, becoming alarmed.

One of them abruptly activated his demonic art, unleashing thousands of black thunder-fire orbs to bombard the giant crab, then transformed into a long rainbow and shot off in another direction.

The other, with a mental incantation, instantly detonated the two flying daggers that were attacking the golden crab. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, a gleaming green flying sword shot out. He leaped, instantly merging with the sword, and closely followed as it ascended and departed.

"Since the outcome there has been decided, it would be better for you three Daoists to stay a while longer!" The golden crab, with electric arcs flashing wildly across its body, effortlessly deflected all attacks. At the same time, it spoke, its voice devoid of emotion.

No sooner had it spoken than a strange silver magic array pattern suddenly appeared on the crab's back. After a swift spin, it transformed into a sheet of silver light that soared into the sky, vanishing in a flash.

The next moment, violent winds suddenly erupted in the sky, and dark clouds gathered. A hundred-acre wide lightning formation rumbled into existence from within the clouds. After a deafening roar, thousands of lightning arcs surged down from the sky, covering almost every inch of the hundred-acre void below.

The three demons, who were in the process of fleeing, were greatly alarmed and had no choice but to stop their escape lights. They hastily activated their demonic arts and numerous demonic artifacts to resist.

However, the electric arcs in the sky were as numerous as a torrential downpour. Even though the three demons' divine abilities far surpassed those of ordinary Integration Stage cultivators, under this endless lightning barrage, they could only resist desperately with trepidation, barely protecting themselves.

For a time, they could not activate their escape lights for even half a step.

However, such heaven-defying divine abilities clearly could not be sustained by the Crab Daoist for too long!

After only a few breaths, the thunder in the sky suddenly receded! The colossal lightning formation flashed wildly a few times before shattering inch by inch, and the surging lightning arcs vanished into thin air without a trace.

The three demons rejoiced at this sight, and just as they were about to reactivate their escape lights to flee, a faint male voice suddenly echoed from high above!

"Where do the three of you intend to go? Since I, Han, have returned to this place, and as your host, I must personally see you three Daoists off."

As the air fluctuated, a light green figure shimmered into existence, sweeping its gaze across the three demons with eyes as cold as if looking at corpses.
