Chapter 2465: True Immortal Descends Slaying the Immortal (Part 1)

"You don't know the Bottle Spirit? Hmph, it seems you have little connection to that traitor. All the better; retrieving this bottle's shell is an unexpected bonus. As for the Bottle Spirit, a mere lower-realm existence has no right to know about such things. Once I capture you and search your soul, I'll send you to the Underworld." Ma Liang's face darkened, but he ultimately sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark green bottle in his hand vanished in a flash, and a blood-red seal in his other hand was thrown out.

With several soft whooshes, the blood seal vanished into thin air, replaced by eight blood rivers that descended from the sky. After swirling, they transformed back into eight five-clawed blood dragons, which furiously charged towards Han Li and the Crab Daoist.

In the True Immortal's view, eight blood dragons, each comparable to a Mahayana-stage cultivator, were naturally more than enough to deal with Han Li and the Crab Daoist.

A silver electric light flashed in the Crab Daoist's eyes. He rolled on the spot and, amidst a clap of thunder from a clear sky, transformed into a giant golden-yellow crab.

With a fierce swing of its two massive pincers, the crab sent two house-sized lightning orbs hurtling towards two of the blood dragons. After a flash, the crab itself transformed into a ball of lightning and rushed forward.

Amidst roars and rumbles of thunder, the golden giant crab immediately engaged in battle with the two blood dragons.

Han Li took a deep breath and patted the green bottle in his hand against his chest, making it disappear. The surrounding sea of green swords buzzed, and countless green sword lights intertwined and flashed, forming a vast sword array covering an area of a hundred mu.

He pointed a finger at the sword array. Immediately, a ball of green light emerged from its center and rapidly expanded.

Following a long dragon's roar, a hundreds-of-feet-long green giant dragon burst out from the green light.

The dragon was emerald green, seemingly dripping with vitality. As it shook its head and swung its tail, every scale glinted with chilling light. The moment it appeared, it lunged with bared fangs and claws towards the nearest blood dragon.

Seeing this, the blood dragon immediately opened its maw and unleashed a hazy, bloody beam of light, which accurately struck the massive body of the coiled dragon.

However, a cold light flashed on the dragon's body, and countless intertwining sword energies instantly severed and extinguished the blood-colored light beam. Remarkably, not a single trace of injury was left where its body had been struck.

From a distance, Ma Liang witnessed this sight. His expression changed slightly, but before any specific thoughts could form in his mind, the distant green coiled dragon let out a roar and became entangled with that blood dragon.

In that part of the void, blood mist immediately surged and sword energies crisscrossed. In just two breaths' time, the blood dragon was forcibly torn to shreds by the green dragon. However, the other five nearby blood dragons took the opportunity to rush forward, and after roaring, unleashed a barrage of blood-path spells that covered the sky.

The green coiled dragon showed no fear, merely swung its massive head. The scales on its body once again unleashed countless chilling sword lights, meeting the incoming attack with a powerful sweep.

At this moment, the blood dragon that had just been torn apart coalesced from the nearby blood mist, reappearing and fiercely charging forward again.

The green coiled dragon fought five opponents. Although its emitted sword energy was incredibly powerful, it was instantly covered in wounds. After using an almost suicidal method to tear apart another blood dragon, it too exploded into shimmering motes of light under the pressure of countless blood rays.

The remaining blood dragons rejoiced and immediately turned to swoop down on Han Li.

Seeing this, Han Li, expressionless, formed a hand seal with one hand. The green sword array in front of him immediately blurred and then vanished into thin air.

The next moment, a clang of swords sounded beneath the blood dragons, and the green sword array reappeared in a flash. A dragon's roar emanated from its center, and another green coiled dragon burst forth, engaging the five blood dragons in battle once more in an instant.

Han Li remained in place, unmoving. He seemingly effortlessly blocked the five blood dragons, yet he had to expend nearly half of his internal magical power to maintain the integrity of the entire sword array.

Although the Green Coiled Dragon Sword Array had become incredibly powerful with his increased cultivation, its magical power consumption had also surged several times compared to before.

This was also because Han Li's magical power and divine sense far surpassed those of ordinary Mahayana cultivators. If a typical Mahayana cultivator were to activate this sword array, they would have no remaining energy to use other divine abilities or treasures.

Seeing this, Ma Liang's eyebrows shot up. He formed a hand seal with one hand and suddenly began muttering incantations.

Above Han Li, a thunderous roar erupted. Countless crimson light rays surged and converged, manifesting into the illusory image of a blood-red seal, the size of a mountain peak.

A wave of spiritual law surged downwards, and the illusory blood seal immediately descended with a thunderous rumble, pressing down on Han Li.

"Just as I thought! Your true essence is simply incomparable to what it was before; you can't even conjure the other four blood spirit puppet giants!" Han Li, instead of being alarmed, grew delighted. After a hearty laugh, he suddenly flicked his sleeve, and three small mountains flew out. They swiftly converged, transforming into a spectacularly vibrant three-colored peak.

Han Li uttered the word "rise," and the three-colored peak rapidly grew against the wind, instantly transforming into a colossal, heaven-reaching mountain ten thousand zhang tall. After a flash from its peak, a dazzling burst of light erupted, colliding with the illusory blood seal.

Instantly, an earth-shattering roar echoed in the air. The three-colored giant mountain abruptly sank towards the ground, yet it forcibly resisted the descent of the illusory blood seal, keeping it suspended high in the air, unable to drop even an inch.

Simultaneously, a wave of spiritual law emanating from the blood seal swept downwards, enveloping the void below.

Han Li felt a chill within him, and his magical power immediately became somewhat sluggish and uncooperative.

Facing this situation, Han Li showed no panic. He merely let out a low cry, and a dark green sword-shaped light cluster immediately flashed into existence on his arm. Another wave of spiritual law burst forth from it.

With a muffled "thump," the two forces of spiritual law collided fiercely like two massive waves, but they simultaneously disintegrated and vanished in an instant.

Han Li's body trembled slightly, and his internal magical power returned to normal.

"Yuanhe Five Extremes Mountain, a Profound Heaven Treasure!" Ma Liang was somewhat astonished by this outcome, then grew enraged.

If he were at his peak, how could a mere incomplete Five Extremes Mountain and a Profound Heaven Treasure so easily block his Myriad Spirit Blood Seal?

With his true essence severely depleted, he truly couldn't unleash much of the blood seal's power now.

Just as the Immortal hesitated slightly, contemplating switching to another divine ability for attack, Han Li stretched out a hand into the void. After a flash of green light in his grasp, a dark green wooden sword appeared out of thin air. He then took a large stride forward, and the Brahma Saint Incarnation behind him instantly lunged forward, merging into his body and disappearing.

The next moment, a clear resonance echoed within Han Li's body, and after a flash of light, several light clusters of different colors flew out. After swirling, they transformed into various illusory forms of true spirits, such as a Heavenly Dragon, True Phoenix, and Azure Luan.

After each of these illusory forms emitted a distinct terrifying aura, they simultaneously raised their heads and let out a shriek, then vanished back into Han Li's body in a flash.

Han Li's body suddenly radiated dazzling purple-golden light, and his physique rapidly expanded. Golden scales and silver spirit patterns instantly surged from his skin, while golden light clusters pulsed wildly on both sides of his shoulders and beneath his ribs.

Following a loud roar, a monstrous demon god, over a thousand zhang tall with three heads and six arms, immediately materialized in the void.

This demon god had a single horn on its head and six eyes that gleamed with silver light. Apart from one hand gripping the similarly colossal dark green wooden sword, its other five hands were empty.

This was precisely the third-stage transformation of Han Li's Nirvana Holy Body, which he had cultivated to its peak.

It was clear he understood that ordinary divine abilities and treasures would be futile against this severely weakened True Immortal. Thus, he immediately brought out his ultimate trump card.

From the moment Han Li produced the Profound Heaven Spirit-Slaying Sword to the completion of his transformation, only an instant had passed. The demon god, which he had become, flicked its wrist, and the dark green wooden sword in its hand immediately buzzed. A row of silver runes instantly emerged on its surface.

The primordial energy of the heavens and earth throughout the sky trembled. Countless five-colored light particles emerged from thin air and surged like a tide towards the dark green wooden sword.

From a distance, Ma Liang witnessed this sight. His face darkened. Without hesitation, he flicked his sleeve, and seven or eight silver talismans shot out. After a sway in the wind, they transformed into seven or eight glittering silver colossal weapons, such as giant swords, axes, and halberds. With another blur, they became a wave of chilling light that swept towards Han Li.

Just then, the three-headed, six-armed Han Li struck first. He held the dark green giant sword, which had swelled to a hundred zhang, horizontally in front of him and then slashed forward.

Utter silence!

An incredibly long, crescent-shaped dark green sword light flashed forth. After a slight shimmer, it abruptly condensed into a fine dark green line, from which a terrifying wave of spiritual law burst out in a mighty torrent...

After several "bangs," the dark green line flashed through the silver light. The seven or eight silver giant blades formed by the talismans inside it exploded and vanished one after another, unable to obstruct it in the slightest.

The dark green line moved with near-instantaneous speed, reaching Ma Liang in just two flashes. A strange, extreme cold preceded it, causing the True Immortal's blood to feel eerily close to freezing.

Ma Liang's pupils contracted, yet he made no dodging movement. He merely waved a sleeve in front of him, and it immediately blurred, transforming into a black shield that blocked his path. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spat out a small, jade-white sword.

With a "thump," the dark green line struck the black shield. It paused only for a moment, then silently sliced through it down the middle, directly encountering the approaching white mini-sword.

After another muffled thud, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The white mini-sword and the dark green line simultaneously froze upon contact in front of Ma Liang.

The next moment, with a crisp snap, the white mini-sword shattered into pieces without any warning, while the dark green line silently vanished in a flash.

As the mini-sword shattered, Ma Liang's face flushed crimson. He could no longer hold back and opened his mouth, spitting out a mouthful of shimmering golden essence blood.

"How dare you destroy my Primordial Severing Immortal Sword! I will never let you perish easily," Ma Liang exclaimed, his face contorted with extreme shock and fury. He seemed greatly surprised by the mini-sword's destruction, and simultaneously snarled at Han Li.

This white mini-sword appeared to be of immense importance to him.
