Chapter 2329: True Immortal Descends Shura Battle (9)

The crystal shield suddenly flared with light, intending to block the punch.

However, the moment the golden fist struck the crystal shield, a dazzling burst of purple light exploded from it.

After a slight tremor, the crystal shield shattered into pieces within the purple light.

And as the punch blurred past, the elder's protective spiritual light was pierced through as if it were made of paper, landing squarely on his body.

The elder, surnamed Yi, was greatly alarmed. He immediately activated a secret technique, pouring his true essence power into his battle armor without any reservation.

*Boom!*

The bloody patterns on the surface of the silver battle armor surged out, transforming into runes, which then formed a blood-red curtain that enveloped the elder.

Seeing this, the giant ape's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery. Its purple-gold fist opened, and a sudden silver light erupted from its palm. Dozens of layers of silver rune arrays, already superimposed, simultaneously flashed and exploded, from which a dazzling silver light unfurled.

The giant ape's own body blurred and instantly vanished without a trace from its original spot.

"No!"

The elder was stunned at first, but as soon as his spiritual sense perceived the power within the silver light, his face drained of all color. After letting out a loud cry, his skull suddenly opened, and a foot-long ethereal figure immediately flew out and escaped.

And at this moment, the silver light had already struck squarely against the blood-red curtain.

A deafening roar, echoing through the heavens, erupted high in the sky.

A silver sun slowly emerged from the spot where the elder Yi had stood, its surface covered with dense silver runes, which subtly formed light arrays of various sizes.

But the next moment, the silver sun, along with the light arrays on its surface, simultaneously flashed and exploded again. A massive pillar of light, stirring the primordial energy of heaven and earth, surged forth from it, and rings of silver ripples swept out like raging waves in all directions, leaving the void roaring wherever they passed. It truly seemed as if heaven and earth were collapsing.

After the blood-red wolf head and the Golden Brahma Body had been in a stalemate for a moment, they, along with the astounding celestial phenomenon of the surging silver moon, caused the expressions of Bloodflame, the Asura Matron, and others who were fiercely battling nearby to change. They simultaneously withdrew their respective divine abilities and retreated to a distance to avoid being affected by this terrifying power.

When both sides reappeared on the horizon, their gazes turned towards Han Li's side, and their expressions varied.

Bloodflame and Blackscale were naturally filled with both surprise and joy, but their eyes also held a hint of shock.

They considered themselves extraordinary Grand Ascension cultivators, but they were certain they could never unleash such world-shattering power.

Han Li's divine abilities greatly exceeded their expectations.

The Asura Spider Matron looked at the pillar of light rising into the sky in the distance, her face fluctuating between gloom and uncertainty, and for the first time, a hint of fear appeared in her heart.

But a moment later, Bloodflame and Blackscale exchanged glances, and without a word, they once again activated their treasures and divine abilities, attacking the woman.

Seeing this, the woman was furious. She no longer cared about Han Li's situation, and after immediately rolling on the spot, she surprisingly transformed into three identical, ferocious spiders, which charged towards Bloodflame and the other.

In an instant, the few of them were once again locked in an inseparable battle.

As for Mo Jianli and the four adult Asura Spiders, they had completely vanished. It was unknown where they had moved their battle.

After a muffled *boom*, the thick pillar of light flickered and disappeared.

The scattered silver ripples around them also vanished into thin air with a sweep.

For a moment, apart from waves of scorching heat in the void, everything seemed to have returned to calm.

However, the spot where the elder Yi had originally stood was empty, with no trace remaining.

It was as if this Grand Ascension cultivator of the Five Lights race had truly perished completely in the previous strike.

The red-skirted maiden clearly saw this scene, and her bright eyes narrowed slightly, a strange coldness flashing within them.

Just then, about five or six hundred zhang away from where the elder had originally stood, a ripple appeared, and a small figure flickering with five-colored light suddenly appeared.

This small figure wore a glaze-like armor, holding a small green seal in its hands. Its face was exactly like the elder's, confirming it was his Grand Ascension Nascent Soul.

The small figure, with a face full of resentment, glanced at the spot where its physical body had disappeared, then, without a word, it shimmered with glaze-like light, transforming into a long rainbow that shot down towards Stone City.

But just as its escaping light took off, a spiritual light suddenly appeared in the void ahead, and a golden figure with three heads and six arms flashed into existence, directly blocking its path.

The small figure was startled. The rainbow it had transformed into suddenly turned sharply, shooting downwards.

But the moment it changed direction, the void below rippled, and two hairy giant hands tore through space and emerged.

A golden giant ape, over ten zhang tall, leaped out from within. It immediately opened its mouth, and a thick golden arc shot out.

The small figure was greatly alarmed. It was too late to try to dodge in mid-air, so it helplessly tossed the small seal in its hand, which expanded against the wind to the size of a millstone, blocking its front.

*Bang!*

The golden arc flashed and struck the large green seal fiercely, sending it flying backward. However, the golden arc also flickered and dispersed into thin air.

A ferocious look appeared on the golden-furred giant ape's face. It took a large stride forward, and one of its huge hands lightning-fast snatched downwards.

But with that brief delay, the elder's Nascent Soul quickly formed hand seals with both hands. After its body exploded with a *bang*, it surprisingly transformed into countless feathers that vanished into thin air from its original spot.

The next moment, a ripple appeared about a hundred zhang behind the giant ape. The small figure's form flickered and reappeared, immediately transforming into a ball of crystalline light that shot down towards Stone City.

With just two consecutive flashes, it reached a spot extremely close to the light barrier outside Stone City. One more escape art would allow it to enter.

But at this moment, a cold snort came from an unknown direction. The moment it entered the elder's Nascent Soul's ears, its spiritual consciousness immediately jolted as if struck by lightning. Its true essence solidified within its body, and it almost plummeted from high in the sky.

The moment the small figure's escaping light dissipated, dots of yellow light suddenly appeared in the nearby void. After swirling, they transformed into countless yellowish-brown crystal grains. At the same time, a hazy yellow sand mist rose around them, surprisingly forming a hurricane that enveloped the elder's Nascent Soul. Simultaneously, an invisible immense force surged and pressed inwards.

The crystalline light on the small figure's body flickered, immediately emitting crackling sounds. At the same time, its face was filled with extreme pain, as if it were about to be crushed directly by this immense force in the next moment.

And the terrifying immense force from all directions continued to rapidly increase.

At this moment, the golden giant ape not far away stood motionless in the void. However, its crown had opened at some point, and a two-foot-long small figure in a green robe stood upon it. With one palm held flat, a small gourd about an inch long was slowly rotating in its palm.

Wisps of yellow mist sprayed from the gourd's mouth, but each flickered and disappeared into the void.

But every time a wisp of yellow mist vanished, the immense force surrounding the elder's Nascent Soul would inevitably increase by a degree.

Han Li had surprisingly predicted the elder Yi's Nascent Soul's escape route. Without hesitation, he released his Grand Ascension Nascent Soul from his body and activated the newly acquired treasure, secretly deploying the Fiery Malice Golden Adamantine Sand.

Although the elder's Nascent Soul also possessed several extremely profound divine abilities, having first been attacked by Han Li's spiritual sense secret art and then falling into the furious assault of this sand, it immediately plunged into a perilous, teetering situation.

Just when the elder was truly on the verge of life or death, the red-skirted maiden below finally made her move again.

It was unknown what method this woman used, but after the four wolf-headed monsters beside her exploded without any warning, the void within the hurricane outside the light barrier immediately rippled. Four blobs of blood mist suddenly appeared out of thin air, and after simultaneously swirling, they protectively enveloped the elder's Nascent Soul like living beings.

The elder immediately felt the immense pressure around him decrease, and overjoyed, he rolled on the spot. He suddenly transformed into a foot-long, crystalline peacock. After shaking its wings, a blazing five-colored flame immediately ignited.

Seeing this, Han Li's Nascent Soul suddenly narrowed its eyes. The yellow gourd in its hand immediately emitted thousands of yellow lights, and countless translucent runes vaguely emerged on its surface.

Instantly, the hurricane that had been trapping the elder's Nascent Soul roared and expanded by more than double in mid-air. At the same time, fist-sized crystal grains appeared faintly within the wind, suddenly emitting a strange restrictive fluctuation.

Almost simultaneously, high in the sky to one side of the hurricane, an intense ripple appeared, and a golden figure over a hundred zhang tall flashed into existence. It was Han Li's Golden Brahma Body.

The moment this Golden Body teleported into appearance, its six arms grasped at the void, and six different heavy blades—a cone, staff, hammer, ruler, ring, and mace—materialized. After a mighty shout, they all slammed fiercely towards the center of the hurricane.

A world-shaking *boom!*

The hurricane violently shattered into pieces. At the same time, a golden halo exploded in its center, and chaotic ripples surged together, rapidly dispersing in all directions.

Han Li's Nascent Soul, standing atop the giant ape's head, gazed at the pair of pitch-black eyes at the center of the halo. Its pupils suddenly contracted slightly. Its sleeve moved slightly, and the hand within stirred, seemingly wanting to form a hand seal, but it immediately remembered something, and its five fingers suddenly relaxed and opened.

*Bang!*

Above Stone City, a ripple appeared in the void beside the red-skirted maiden. A mini peacock with half a wing missing flew out from it. The moment it appeared, it immediately let out a shrill cry in the elder's voice: "Fellow Daoist Ying, quickly save me! Only your Spirit Reversal divine ability can mend my Nascent Soul. If you can restore my Nascent Soul, I will surely give you immense benefits afterwards!"

No sooner had he spoken, the mini peacock's body shimmered with an aura, and it reverted to its human form. However, a significant portion of its body had vanished, and its aura had become extremely weak, as if it could truly perish at any moment.

Although the maiden had helped moments ago, and he himself had revealed his primordial spirit body to escape through the void, under the strange power of the Fiery Malice Golden Adamantine Sand and the combined strike of the Golden Brahma Body's six heavy blades, he was still half a step too late, causing his Nascent Soul to suffer severe damage.

If the maiden had not used her temporal power to rescue him, he might even have fallen below the Grand Ascension realm.

No wonder his words earlier were so fearful.

"Alright,"

The red-skirted maiden glanced at the elder's Nascent Soul, nodded with an unchanging expression, raised a jade-like hand, and lightly patted it.
