Chapter 905: Jinpa Silver Silkworm

Han Li gazed at the retreating figure, feeling that the Silvermoon who had transformed into his likeness was now indistinguishable from him. He couldn't help but sigh softly.

It seemed this woman's illusionary art had advanced significantly!

"Senior, do you think Silvermoon's illusionary attainments can deceive the two people behind us? At least, I wouldn't be able to see through it unless I was right up close to confirm," Han Li suddenly asked.

"Your spirit familiar is of no ordinary origin! It's not just you; even I find her illusions somewhat unfathomable. It's as if they adapt to be stronger against the strong and weaker against the weak. Against those two juniors, without that sacred beast causing trouble, they certainly wouldn't be able to distinguish the real from the fake in a short time," Grandmaster Dayan gave Han Li an ambiguous answer.

Han Li was speechless. This answer did not reassure him in the slightest.

Changing direction, he fled rapidly in the opposite direction from Silvermoon.

Han Li naturally didn't know that by having Silvermoon carry some of the Gold Devouring Beetles, he had, by extreme coincidence, used the right strategy.

Seeing the person ahead suddenly split into two and flee in separate directions, the purple-haired beautiful woman and the silver-robed woman, who were dozens of miles away, couldn't help but exchange glances and halt their escape light.

"What is this? An incarnation technique? Even the aura and spiritual energy fluctuations are identical. This young man really has many tricks up his sleeve," the purple-haired beautiful woman swept a lock of hair from her forehead, exclaiming in surprise.

"It's too far away; I can't use my spiritual sense to discern the truth. I'll have the sacred beast check it," the Heavenly Cloud Saintess said, also feeling a headache.

Then, the woman spoke a few low words in an ancient language to the Heavenly Cloud Beast beneath her. Instantly, the Heavenly Cloud Beast below her shimmered with green spiritual light, and its pair of ox horns gradually became transparent and clear, dazzling like crystal. But after a moment, the beast's low roar came, and the silver-robed woman, having received the answer in her spiritual sense, looked slightly changed.

"There's real trouble. The other party might know we're tracking them by the Gold Devouring Beetle's aura. Both of them actually have Gold Devouring Beetles. This person must have divided the spirit insects into two parts. Even the sacred beast can't distinguish between them anymore."

"Meaning, we can't let either of them get away," the purple-haired beautiful woman said, raising her elegant eyebrows slightly.

"It doesn't matter! We'll each chase one. We're so close to him now. This trivial trick of dividing us won't work anymore. Since the other party deliberately intends to divide our strength, it would be a shame if we didn't experience it properly, considering their painstaking efforts," the silver-robed woman said with a cold laugh.

"That's a fair point. However, I've heard this person's cultivation is only at the mid Nascent Soul stage, but his divine abilities are not weaker than ours at the late Nascent Soul stage. But the other party is injured. Even if you encounter the real body, I don't think there will be any danger. I'll chase the other one. As long as the other party doesn't use that Ghost Escape Technique again, I expect you'll converge in a moment," the purple-haired beautiful woman was still a little worried, cautioning her.

"Senior Sun, please rest assured. Although that bloody escape technique is strange, its cost of use is clearly significant. Otherwise, if the other party kept using this technique, they would have shaken us off long ago, leaving no trace. Why would they have dragged this out until now? They're probably at their wits' end. Besides, I have the Sacred Cauldron protecting me; there will be no problem at all," the silver-robed woman said with a charming smile and a proud expression.

"That sounds reasonable. Then I'll go first," the beautiful woman replied with a light laugh, then transformed into a streak of purple light, pursuing one of the "Han Lis."

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Cloud Saintess looked at the other Han Li, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and likewise urged her sacred beast to pursue him.

"They've indeed separated. Han boy, your strategy of division is quite effective, isn't it? It seems that sacred beast is truly just a split soul descending to this world and is not yet to be feared. But if you cannot kill that Heavenly Cloud Beast in an extremely short time, once the unsealing period ends and those two Grand Immortals return, you'll truly be at your wit's end. Moreover, that Heavenly Cloud Saintess is probably not to be trifled with," Grandmaster Dayan said, uncharacteristically, with a tone of concern.

"I have it under control. I'm not trying to kill this woman; I just want to kill that sacred beast. It won't take too much time," Han Li replied in a deep voice while using his spiritual sense to monitor the silver-robed woman chasing him.

"Oh! Then I shall wait and see," Grandmaster Dayan's voice became indifferent again.

Han Li said nothing more, secretly estimating the timing. When he felt it was almost right, his escape light made a turn, and he suddenly turned around, slapping his spirit beast pouch at his waist.

Immediately, the remaining several thousand golden Gold Devouring Beetles swarmed out of the pouch opening, buzzing as they transformed into a golden cloud, spiraling upwards.

At the same time, dozens of dazzling golden flying swords also shot out from his sleeves. With a flick of his incantation, they transformed into over a hundred astonishing sword lights, circling around him.

"Merge!"

After forming hand seals, a soft cry emerged. The sword lights trembled slightly and shot skyward. Golden light dazzled in the air, and in an instant, a giant sword, six or seven Zhang long, impressively formed.

Han Li then opened his mouth, and a fist-sized ball of purple flame spewed upwards. It expanded in the wind into a firebird about a foot long, which plunged onto the giant sword.

With a soft "poof," the purple firebird burst open, and the giant sword was instantly enveloped in a layer of purple flames. Then, countless thumb-thick electrical arcs surfaced within the purple flames, creating an astonishing spectacle!

Seeing this, Han Li frowned. After a moment's thought, a burst of green energy suddenly spewed from his mouth, striking the sword.

Immediately, golden arcs sparked wildly on the giant sword's surface, but the thunderous sound vanished in an instant.

Han Li nodded in satisfaction. With a surge of his spiritual sense, the golden sword shot skyward, breaking through the air. In a blink of an eye, it vanished into a dark cloud, becoming silent.

At this moment, a shimmering light point appeared on the horizon; the Heavenly Cloud Saintess had caught up.

Han Li's pupils constricted slightly. He shook his sleeve, and a set of green flying swords swam out. From his other sleeve, a small blue shield flew out, blocking in front of him.

At the same time, as he flipped his hands, one hand gripped the ancient purple mirror he had obtained from the Demonfall Valley but never used, while the other hand held the Spirit Descent Talisman, which had one use remaining. If he used this talisman with his current unsealed cultivation, his cultivation should increase much more than the previous two times.

Thinking to himself, he stood quietly in place, calmly awaiting the other party's arrival.

Though the ox-headed, flood dragon-bodied sacred beast did not seem to have high cultivation, its escape speed was indeed extraordinarily fast. From first appearing as a trace to stopping about a hundred Zhang in front of Han Li, it took barely a few breaths.

Han Li coldly observed the other party, his gaze flickering a few times.

This Heavenly Cloud Sacred Beast, aside from its strange appearance, didn't seem particularly powerful, and its massive ox head even gave a faint impression of being somewhat dull.

Compared to this beast, the Heavenly Cloud Saintess standing on it was extremely eye-catching. Both her extraordinary beauty and her not-to-be-underestimated profound cultivation made Han Li cautious in the extreme.

After she manifested, she likewise glanced at Han Li, showing a hint of surprise at his youthful appearance. But her gaze was immediately drawn to the enormous insect cloud in the sky, and her bright eyes showed a look of mixed surprise and delight.

"You..." The silver-robed woman hesitated for a moment, then opened her mouth as if to ask something.

But Han Li was afraid she would discover the giant sword hidden in the air, and his unsealing time was also limited, so how could he waste words with this woman?

Without a word, he immediately pointed at the insect cloud. With a "buzz," the insect cloud flew directly towards the opposite side. At the same time, the green flying swords circling in front of him immediately transformed into countless sword shadows, sweeping towards the woman.

"You seek death!"

Han Li's complete lack of gentleness naturally enraged the Heavenly Cloud Saintess. With a delicate cry, she raised her jade hand, and a jade-green bracelet shot out from her wrist, instantly expanding wildly into an arm-thick giant ring, meeting the sword shadows.

With her other hand, she likewise snatched the spirit beast pouch from her waist and threw it into the air.

Golden light flashed from the pouch opening, and more than ten enormous golden flowers flew out in succession—these were over ten mature golden giant insects, shooting towards the insect cloud.

What the woman didn't notice was that high in the sky, a dark cloud silently drifted towards her head, getting closer and closer.

That jade ring was clearly a powerful ancient treasure. As soon as the green sword shadows touched it, they were completely absorbed within as the ring spun rapidly. Han Li immediately felt his flying swords become sluggish, and a chill ran through him.

As for the more than ten mature golden insects, once they charged into Han Li's insect cloud, after a round of biting, they also gained the upper hand.

Han Li saw clearly that although his flying insects were numerous, they couldn't bite these giant insects' bodies in the slightest. Instead, these giant insects were happily devouring them, one after another.

His expression sinking, Han Li immediately slapped the Spirit Descent Talisman in his hand onto himself without a word. Immediately, a bloody flood dragon shadow materialized, then possessed his body.

His whole body flickered with blood-red light. Blood-red scales appeared, and flood dragon horns emerged from his head, transforming him into a half-dragon, half-human form.

An astonishing aura surged forth from Han Li.

"Eh! What kind of cultivation technique is this!" The silver-robed woman witnessed this from afar, feeling a surge of surprise in her heart. But she was not afraid in the least. She opened her mouth, and a handkerchief-like magic treasure shot out. It spun round and round in front of her, then suddenly grew to several Zhang in size and stood straight up.

On the giant handkerchief, a silver giant silkworm was embroidered.

Seeing this image, Han Li was stunned. As he was pondering what divine abilities this treasure possessed, the silver silkworm image on the giant handkerchief glowed brightly, and suddenly, as if alive, it opened its mouth.

A plume of silver light shot out, then lengthened into fine silver threads against the wind, each emitting a sizzling sound, shooting towards Han Li.

The hundred-Zhang wide space between the two was instantly densely filled with these silver threads, an astonishing sight.

Han Li was startled. He instinctively pointed at the blue light shield in front of him. The shield immediately transformed into a tall light curtain, protecting him tightly. At the same time, he opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of purple flame, which flew out of the light curtain and exploded.

A strange purple frosty light instantly spread several Zhang in front of him.

With a crisp "Zzzzzzt" sound, a purple ice wall, about ten Zhang high, stood crystalline and beautiful before him.
