Chapter 2324: Battle of Asura (IV)

"Sparring? What does that mean!" the Five-Colored Peacock said, a strange glint flashing in its eyes as it spoke in human tongue.

"Haha..." Han Li yawned, tilting his head back. He said nothing more, but his aura suddenly changed, and a surge of five-colored light flames burst forth from his body.

As the five-colored light flames flickered, Han Li's figure blurred, transforming into an extraordinarily beautiful giant spirit bird—another Five-Colored Peacock!

"What? You're also a member of the Five Radiance Clan... No, your aura isn't right. You've merely refined some true blood of our clan's sacred birds to transform into a sacred bird's form," the Five-Colored Peacock opposite him exclaimed in surprise. Then, a peculiar light flashed in its eyes as it immediately noticed subtle differences.

"You certainly have sharp eyes, discerning my transformation technique at a glance," Han Li scoffed. The peacock he had transformed into then shook its wings, and the five-colored aura on its body surged, instantly turning into rolling waves of light that swept towards its opponent.

"Good, very good. You dare to use a divine light technique in front of me. Then let me teach you a lesson, so you'll know what true Five-Colored Divine Light is," Old Man Yi said, laughing in extreme anger.

No sooner had he spoken than the peacock he had transformed into shook its long plumes, and they suddenly turned into countless five-colored arrows that shot towards the opponent.

Hissing sounds filled the entire sky. As the rolling five-colored light flames from the opposite side met these arrows, they were immediately riddled with countless holes of various sizes.

The giant five-colored waves solidified and instantly slowed down.

With nothing to obstruct them, these arrows shot straight towards Han Li.

Han Li was slightly startled by this, but the peacock he had transformed into immediately shook its plumes as well. The glowing aura on its body solidified, and strands of five-colored light threads shot out from it.

Each light thread flickered, precisely hitting every arrow. They wrapped around them and tightened forcefully.

A series of crackling sounds erupted. The arrows, flickering wildly, were forcibly cut into countless fragments.

After blurring again, these light threads vanished with a flash at their original positions.

The next moment, ripples appeared in front of the peacock transformed by Old Man Yi. Dense light threads shot out from the void, trembling and darting, seemingly about to bind him instantly.

However, the instant the light threads touched the body of the peacock Old Man Yi had transformed into, the five-colored aura on its surface suddenly flared brightly.

The light threads then plunged into it with a "thump," and no further changes occurred.

Seeing this from afar, Han Li's heart tightened.

The peacock Old Man Yi had transformed into let out a long cry, tilting its head back. One of its claws, shimmering with five-colored light, suddenly struck out at the void ahead.

With a muffled "thump"!

An enormous claw, about an acre in size, extended out from the void, spanning several hundred zhang, and clawed down towards the peacock Han Li had transformed into below.

Han Li scoffed. The peacock's body merely blurred, then suddenly vanished, reappearing in a flash tens of feet away on the other side. At the same time, it opened its mouth, and a stream of silver flames shot out towards the giant claw.

The giant claw appeared massive, but the instant the silver flames erupted, it swiftly slapped them away with a backhand strike.

A muffled thud!

Five-colored crystalline light flowed across the surface of the giant claw. The silver flames were extinguished instantly. Then, its five fingers splayed, and it reached out like lightning towards the peacock that had just reappeared.

Before it could truly seize him, countless five-colored runes suddenly flickered in and out of existence in the void around Han Li. Layers of invisible restrictions subtly appeared, trapping him firmly.

The peacock Han Li had transformed into shook its wings, and a large expanse of five-colored light flames swept out. However, upon colliding with the runes, they vanished in a flash, as if encountering their nemesis.

Startled, Han Li instinctively intensified the five-colored aura on his body. All his plumes trembled slightly and shot out from his body simultaneously. They then solidified in the void, transforming into a dozen extraordinarily vibrant five-colored sword lights that flashed and chopped wildly in all directions.

A series of harsh, metallic clanging sounds erupted!

When these five-colored sword lights struck the runes, they were forcefully bounced back as if hitting refined steel. They couldn't break through the restriction in the slightest.

"Haha, my Heaven-Solidifying divine ability isn't so easily broken. Friend, just surrender and die obediently," Old Man Yi exclaimed with delight at this sight. The peacock he had transformed into spoke human words, and then its other claw also reached out.

Ripples appeared above Han Li, and another giant claw, wreathed in five-colored aura, emerged, also descending downwards.

Immediately, even more five-colored runes surged forth in the surrounding void.

The peacock Han Li had transformed into felt its body tighten, truly unable to move an inch.

Just like that, under Old Man Yi's ecstatic gaze, the two giant claws swiftly descended one after the other.

The instant the colossal claw shadows descended, they stirred up gusts of hurricanes. The void below was affected, twisting and deforming, and the peacock Han Li had transformed into was instantly engulfed.

Old Man Yi let out a burst of wild laughter!

That he could defeat such a formidable enemy so easily with his Five-Colored Divine Light was truly beyond his expectations.

However, just in case, the peacock he had transformed into immediately soared into the air. After shaking its wings, the five-colored aura on its body shimmered, then transformed into a translucent, glazed color.

Then, the Five-Colored Peacock let out a clear cry, and opened its mouth again. A pillar of glazed light shot out, instantly reaching the spot in the void where Han Li had been.

But at that very moment, an extremely deep roar erupted from the distorted void. A mass of golden light flared brightly and emerged, and from within it, a gigantic furry palm, the size of a water vat, suddenly thrust out.

The palm's five fingers splayed, instantly turning a purplish-gold color, and it horizontally blocked the glazed light pillar.

An earth-shattering boom!

The glazed light pillar struck the furry palm, bursting open. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was stirred up, and a dazzling, glazed sun emerged from the explosion.

That furry palm, relying solely on its flesh and blood, had truly blocked the seemingly impenetrable glazed light pillar.

Seeing this, Old Man Yi became utterly shocked and enraged. But before he could even consider what attack to launch next, an icy, bone-chilling snort suddenly emanated from the golden light opposite him.

The peacock Old Man Yi had transformed into shuddered as if struck by lightning upon hearing it, involuntarily retreating several steps.

At the same time, a ferocious roar erupted from the golden light opposite. A golden fist shadow, like a small mountain, shot skyward, smashing the two five-colored giant claws into smithereens as if they were mere paper scraps. Concurrently, an incredibly terrifying and powerful aura swept out from the golden light, causing the surrounding five-colored runes to violently shatter on their own.

At this point, the golden light finally receded, revealing a colossal ape, purplish-gold all over, standing dozens of feet tall. It was slowly retracting a massive fist.

"Your true form is a Mountain Ape... No, it's not. An ordinary Mountain Ape couldn't break free from my Heaven-Solidifying ability so easily," the peacock said in human words, startled and enraged, after being forced back two more steps by the aura.

"Hmph, you don't need to concern yourself with what my true form is. However, I have already experienced the profundity of your five-colored abilities. Now, it's time for you to experience my true divine abilities," the giant ape said coldly, gazing at the Five-Colored Peacock opposite.

"Do you truly believe that by changing your Dharma Body, you can defeat me, Yi? That's simply a pipe dream!"

Although Old Man Yi felt the terrifying aura of the giant ape opposite, he showed no sign of panic on his face. Instead, after a low shout, the light flames on the peacock he had transformed into flickered, and it also transformed into a different appearance.

It had the head of a peacock but a human body, dressed in brocade robes, with five crystal-clear longswords of distinct colors stuck into its back.

He had actually abandoned his Five-Colored Peacock transformation, turning into a strange half-bird, half-human entity.

"That's somewhat interesting. You truly held something back. Perfect, then I, Han, can finally let loose and enjoy myself for once."

A crystalline glint flashed in the giant ape's eyes. Suddenly, its two large hands flipped, and two small mountains, one green and one black, about ten feet high, appeared in a flash.

Han Li tossed the two small mountains high into the air, then pointed twice in the void with one finger.

Immediately, the two green and black small mountains, activated by the spell, shook and grew wildly against the wind, becoming over a hundred zhang tall.

Concurrently, the purplish-gold giant ape that Han Li had transformed into also revealed silver patterns on its body and rapidly grew, instantly becoming an enormous entity three to four hundred zhang tall.

As soon as the giant ape's body reformed, its two house-sized fists fiercely pounded its steel-like chest. Then, with a blur, it simultaneously seized both small mountains.

Its two arms suddenly thickened further, and with a monstrous roar, it hurled the two mountain peaks fiercely towards the monster transformed by Old Man Yi in the distance.

The instant the two mountain peaks were thrown, they immediately transformed into two light spheres, one green and one black. After a blur, they vanished into the void with incredible speed.

In the nearby sky, a deafening explosion suddenly resounded!

The monster Old Man Yi had transformed into felt a ripple in front of it, and two colossal objects appeared in a flash directly before it.

Following them, an immense force, powerful enough to suffocate even a Grand Ascension cultivator, immediately surged forward!

Before it truly descended, the protective spiritual light in front of the old man trembled violently, and his face instantly stung as if being cut by knives.

Faced with this scene, a strange look flashed in Old Man Yi's peacock-like eyes. Without any visible movement from his limbs, the five crystal-clear longswords stuck in his back suddenly flashed with peculiar light.

After several "bangs," the five longswords instantly teleported to stand in front of the old man. Crossing them, he raised them, neutralizing the immense pressure.

But what made Han Li's eyes widen in disbelief was that when the two giant mountains, accompanied by a fierce wind, directly pressed upon the five crystal swords, they suddenly stopped in the void as if frozen.

From a distance, it truly looked as if they were forcibly resisted by merely five longswords.

Having advanced to the Grand Ascension stage, Han Li naturally knew exactly how immense the divine power of his physical body, transformed into a giant ape, was.

Witnessing this extremely bizarre situation, his pupils slightly constricted, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes completely.
