Chapter 2328: True Immortal Descends Battle of Asura (8)

"It's not that easy to comprehend; I've only managed to scratch the surface. As for the battle below, I'll have to trouble Uncle-Master Yi to continue fighting. After all, the opponent is a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage. How could Ying'er dare to face him alone? I can only offer a little assistance to Uncle-Master Yi from the side," the girl in the blood-red dress said with a smiling face to the old man.

The old man surnamed Yi chuckled, "Heh heh, you've even comprehended the spiritual object reversion divine ability; how can that be considered merely scratching the surface? Now, with Ying'er providing support, I can certainly fight them again." He carefully examined his body and found that the woman's reversion ability had seemingly restored some of his previously depleted vital energy. Instantly, his confidence surged, and he replied with renewed vigor.

Then, with a long roar, he shook his head and once again transformed into his eerie bird-faced, human-bodied form. With a flick of his wrist, a silver glow and a golden glow flashed, and the golden mirror and silver scroll simultaneously appeared.

With a low shout, the scroll in his hand blurred, then burst open into countless silver runes. These runes swirled around him and condensed into a silver battle armor, completely encasing his body.

The golden bronze mirror in his other hand flared with light, then split into two shimmering golden greatswords. With a movement of his arms, he gripped one in each hand.

Seeing this, the girl beside him smiled faintly. Forming a hand seal with one hand, she caused the two wolf-headed beasts in front of her to burst open with a muffled sound, transforming into two streams of blood mist that surged into her body.

Immediately, an eerie bloody light pulsed from the girl's palm, and she chanted softly while pointing repeatedly at the old man in the air.

With several "puffs," a series of blood-colored runes shot out from her fingertips, vanishing instantly into the old man's armor.

An eerie layer of blood-red patterns instantly appeared on the armor, shifting and swirling erratically.

At the same time, the old man surnamed Yi felt a surge of warmth within him. His strength inexplicably increased by more than twofold, and concurrently, a fierce rage welled up from his heart, causing his eyes to become bloodshot and igniting a strong desire to battle!

"Bloodlust Art, excellent! This is exactly what I needed!" The old man let out a wild laugh, and shaking his arms with abandon, he shot out of the light barrier as a blur of silver light. Simultaneously, two golden sword energies, over a hundred zhang long, aggressively slashed forth. Wherever they passed, tearing sounds erupted, as if splitting the very sky apart.

Han Li looked at the incoming golden sword energies, then glanced at the girl in the blood-red dress standing on the stone city. He suddenly smiled as well and pointed a finger towards the sky.

With a "whoosh"!

The three extreme mountains blurred and vanished without a trace from thin air.

The next moment, ripples appeared in front of him, and the air shimmered. The three extreme mountains reappeared, lined up in a row, blocking his path.

A deafening boom.

The two golden sword energies slammed hard onto the extreme mountains.

However, the three mountain peaks merely trembled slightly, deflecting both sword energies.

But a fierce glint flashed in the old man surnamed Yi's eyes. From a distance, he simultaneously threw both greatswords from his hands and began to chant.

In an instant, a loud hum echoed in the sky. The two greatswords, radiating myriad golden lights, merged into a single one. It then slashed down fiercely again, its sword light extending for over a thousand zhang.

Amidst the golden light, the sounds of wind and thunder roared!

"Bring it on!"

Han Li let out a cold snort. The colossal ape he had transformed into formed a hand seal with all six of its arms simultaneously. Seventy-two small azure swords shot out from within its body. After a flash, they transformed into a dense mass of azure sword light, which then condensed into another colossal blade, hundreds of zhang long, capable of supporting the sky.

Under Han Li's sword art activation, the colossal blade let out a clear hum and soared upwards to meet the attack.

With a thunderous crash, the two colossal blades firmly clashed.

A loud "hissing" sound resonated through the air. Golden and azure sword energies crisscrossed the sky, their brilliance almost blinding.

For a moment, the two colossal blades seemed to be in a deadlock.

Seeing this, the old man's expression darkened. He repeatedly pointed his finger at the air, furiously pouring his spiritual energy into the sword from a distance.

In an instant, the golden great blade shone with a powerful cold light, and threads of golden light shot out from it.

Almost simultaneously, the colossal ape below raised its three heads and opened its mouths. Three thick golden arcs sprayed out, vanishing into thin air in a flash.

The next moment, countless electric lights suddenly emerged on the surface of the azure greatsword, transforming into countless golden serpents that surged towards the golden greatsword.

With a muffled thud!

The azure greatsword, caught between the azure sword light and the golden serpents, shattered into pieces in mere moments.

This scene startled the old man surnamed Yi.

But just then, the colossal ape, after a fierce manifestation, took a step forward without hesitation, then blurred and strangely vanished from its spot.

Seeing this, the old man surnamed Yi's heart tightened. He abruptly called out, "Fellow Daoist Ying'er!" to the girl in the blood-red dress. He formed a hand seal with one hand, and five-colored mist erupted from his body as eight five-colored crystal shields appeared, completely encircling him from all directions. With another flick of his palm, a purplish-black wooden ruler appeared, transforming into a swirling phantom in his hand.

The girl in the blood-red dress on the stone city below, hearing the old man's cry, smiled faintly, but then struck out with a backhand.

With a "bang," a wolf-headed beast immediately burst open, transforming into a rolling blood mist. Inside, a mournful howl erupted, and a gigantic wolf head vaguely appeared and disappeared.

Just then, space rippled beside the old man surnamed Yi. A three-headed, six-armed golden figure appeared and lunged at the old man like lightning.

The old man surnamed Yi let out a cold snort. He shifted his feet slightly, sliding backward. At the same time, the phantom formed by the purplish-black wooden ruler in his hand emitted a "hissing" sound, and countless purple rays shot forth.

However, the golden figure, facing the enveloping purple rays, neither dodged nor avoided. Instead, it charged straight through them.

Loud "clanging" sounds of metal on metal erupted!

Most of the purple rays, upon striking the golden figure, bounced back with a flash. Only a few managed to forcefully penetrate the golden light and enter its body.

Immediately, a foul stench spread, and the golden figure's charge faltered.

Seeing this, a hint of joy flashed across the old man surnamed Yi's face.

Those purple rays appeared inconspicuous, but they were actually extremely poisonous and contained strange components that could interfere with divine sense. Even a Mahayana cultivator would be severely affected if hit by them.

This was one of the old man surnamed Yi's trump cards.

But the next moment, something happened that made the old man's pupils constrict.

The golden figure's three faces remained expressionless. Its six arms blurred, and countless fist shadows instantly appeared, surging towards the old man in a dense flurry. Furthermore, with another movement of its body, it continued to charge forward.

Those dozens of purple thorns seemed to have absolutely no effect on it.

Witnessing this, the old man could hardly believe his eyes, and cold sweat immediately ran down his back. But he immediately gritted his teeth, and instead of retreating, he mustered his spiritual energy. He opened his mouth and spat out a small azure seal, which expanded to the size of a water vat as it swayed in the wind, emitting faint runes, and then slammed violently towards the approaching figure.

It seemed he was determined to fight Han Li to the death, showing no intention of avoiding the attack.

Before the azure seal truly met the fist shadows, a strange gravitational force surged forth from it.

After a flash, all the fist shadows involuntarily slid away into the void on either side.

However, the golden figure, which was following closely behind and charging forward, was completely unaffected. With a flash, it slammed its body directly into the azure seal.

The old man surnamed Yi was first startled, but then filled with great joy.

That azure seal was his Natal Treasure, cultivated through his practice. Although its power could not compare to treasures like Profound Sky artifacts, its durability was certainly no less.

He absolutely did not believe that the opponent's physical body could truly be stronger than this treasure.

Sure enough, after a bell-like roar from the front, the golden light and azure runes burst open into a dazzling brilliance.

The golden figure immediately stumbled and involuntarily retreated more than ten steps, appearing unable to stabilize itself for a moment.

Just then, a bloody aura rose behind it, and a massive, blood-red wolf head silently appeared. It opened its mouth and, without warning, bit the golden figure's waist, its fangs sinking several inches deep into the flesh.

The golden figure's body trembled, and its six arms flashed out in a lightning-fast backhand. Six golden palms struck the wolf head's face like a whirlwind.

Seeing this, the girl in the blood-red dress narrowed her eyes. She chanted softly and pointed repeatedly at the giant wolf head while forming hand seals.

The wolf head's face immediately became blurry, allowing the golden fists to pass right through its head. However, its massive jaws remained clamped tightly onto the golden figure's waist, and it tried to tear the figure apart with a shake of its head, but could not succeed for the moment.

Seeing this situation from a distance, the old man surnamed Yi was overjoyed. A fierce expression appeared on his face, and the purplish-black wooden ruler in his hand blurred, suddenly transforming into a purplish-black spear. With a movement of his arm, he was about to hurl it fiercely at the golden figure.

But just then, a gentle breeze swept across the void behind him. Suddenly, another golden figure silently appeared. After a single step, it eerily arrived right beside the old man, and two golden fists, covered in layers of silver patterns, silently punched out.

Looking at the golden figure's face, it was another golden colossal ape. However, faint purple light shimmered indistinctly from its body, and silver patterns constantly shifted across its entire form.

This colossal ape was, in fact, Han Li's true body. The three-headed, six-armed golden figure earlier was merely a Saintly Brahma Golden Body, separated from his main form and controlled by a wisp of his divine sense, deliberately used to attract the attention of the old man and the girl in the blood-red dress.

Although Han Li's true body did not have the Saintly Brahma Golden Body attached, its physical strength, solely from the Mountain Ape transformation and the fully activated Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Art, was absolutely no less formidable than before.

The girl below, witnessing this scene, her expression changed. By the time she wanted to shout a warning, it was naturally too late.

As a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana stage, the old man surnamed Yi, even without the girl's warning, detected the anomaly behind him almost instantly. Startled, he instinctively swung his arm in a backhand motion and hurled the spear in his hand fiercely backward.

With a resounding "bang"!

No sooner had the spear, transformed into purple light, been thrown than it was violently smashed away by one of Han Li's fists. His other fist blurred and then powerfully struck a crystal shield behind the old man.
