Chapter 400: Killing the Demon and Taking the Pill

"A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," Volume 3, Volume 4: Winds Rise Overseas

Han Li's worries were clearly unnecessary.

Just half an hour later, Han Li felt two powerful spiritual energy fluctuations rapidly approaching Red Coral Island from the east and west, causing his expression to subtly change. He abruptly opened his eyes, staring intently at the row of formation flags before him, his somewhat dry lips pressed tightly together. Although everything was arranged properly, facing two high-tier demonic beasts at once still made him involuntarily nervous.

Suddenly, a blue-violet formation flag in front of him burst with light, then began to tremble slightly. Han Li's expression was solemn, but he didn't immediately take any action, choosing instead to observe in silence. He knew that although Level Five demonic beasts were considered to possess intelligence, it would be impossible for them to break out of a grand formation like the "Reversed Five Elements Formation" in a short period. This was because, despite their cultivation being comparable to cultivators in the early Core Formation stage, most Level Five demonic beasts were not true matches for cultivators of the same rank in actual combat. After all, their disadvantage lay in their relatively low intelligence and their naturally limited repertoire of spells, making it easy for cultivators of the same rank to exploit their weaknesses and kill them. Furthermore, profound concepts like formations were even less likely for them to break through quickly. Therefore, Han Li could calmly wait until the other demonic beast also fell into the formation before making his move with confidence.

Just as he was anxiously contemplating, a yellow formation flag also shone brightly, emitting a low buzzing sound. Instantly, a hint of joy appeared on Han Li's previously solemn face. He then formed a hand seal, using the surrounding illusionary formation's restrictions to completely seal off the aura of the nearby Rainbow Dress Grass. Otherwise, if one or two more demonic beasts were drawn in, he wouldn't be able to handle it.

After doing this, Han Li extended a hand and lightly grasped at the empty space. The two unusually glowing formation flags automatically flew into his hand, and he softly uttered the word "Go!" Behind him, Qu Hun immediately opened his mouth and spat out a stream of yellow light. The yellow light then expanded, enveloping Han Li and transforming into a yellow rainbow that shot skyward.

Moments later, Han Li appeared above the "Illusory Form Sky-Net Formation" on the westernmost side. Inside the formation, yellow and green multi-colored mists continuously churned, and a faint, bull-like roar echoed from within. Han Li released his Divine Wind Skiff and flew away on the artifact by himself. He then withdrew the yellow formation flag from his robe. After a gentle shake, a yellow light shot from the flagstaff, striking the colorful mists within the formation. Instantly, all the radiant mists receded, revealing a demonic beast trapped within the formation.

This beast was about two to three zhang long. It was perfectly spherical and covered in fiery red thorns, resembling a giant sea urchin at first glance. However, its plump body was covered with dozens of identical teal-green eyes. These eyes were exceedingly cold, continuously shooting crimson light that relentlessly impacted the grand formation's restrictions. The bull-like roars continuously emanated from its plump abdomen, seemingly indicating it was in a state of violent agitation.

"Thousand-Eyed Demon."

As soon as Han Li clearly saw the beast's appearance, he immediately recognized it.
