The Blue Sovereign was being struck repeatedly by Han Li, with two small mountains each delivering several blows, his body drenched in sweat. Upon hearing the Elder with the bald head's words, he instantly revived, nodded without hesitation, and then his eyes darted around, immediately seeking a way to escape and draw the enemy into a favorable position. Han Li's transformed giant ape, its blue pupils flashing, clearly observed the mage's expression and gave a cold snort. Suddenly, with a rushing sound, the two mountain peaks were forcefully hurled forward. As they left Han Li's hands, their black and green spiritual radiance surged, expanding several times in size—now towering over a hundred zhang—rushing toward the Blue Sovereign at an astonishing speed. Even before making contact, two powerful gales swept in, distorting the surrounding space and producing a loud roar. Master Lan witnessed the scene, his face pale, yet a flash of fierce light flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, he bit his teeth and, with a sudden motion, sharply pointed at the two treasures spinning before him. Then, his body swayed and he surged backward, carrying the other treasures with him. The two treasures he touched, however, did not retreat—they advanced directly toward the two mountain peaks, and as they neared, they emitted a mournful cry before exploding. With two thunderous booms, two massive luminous halos rose beneath the two peaks, their flames swirling and momentarily halting the descent of the mountains, causing both to pause in the air. Yet, in the next instant, the mountains themselves, radiating brilliant light, sank steadily, pressing down and dispersing the two halos. Then, a flash of golden light, and the giant ape formed by Han Li appeared like a ghost beneath the peaks. With a simple, effortless lift of his two broad palms, he gently stabilized the two mountains once more. The giant ape’s eyes, glowing with cold intensity, fixed upon a spot in the empty space hundreds of zhang away. There, the Azure-Spined magical race seized the brief moment when Han Li's法宝 self-exploded, finally breaking free from his relentless pursuit and charging straight toward the smaller hills below. At the same time, the thirteen True Magi, previously fleeing wildly amid the pursuit of over a dozen Purple-Spined Beetle Creatures, suddenly saw their surface magical flames surge several times stronger, transforming into thirteen dark luminous spheres that shot off in unison. The dozen Purple-Spined Beetle Creatures, as their hums resonated, instantly turned into scattered points of purple light and surged downward in pursuit. As for the blue flying serpents, amidst the dense network of sword filaments, they were swiftly reduced to only a few survivors. Though these serpents were rare and exceptional beasts in the magical realm, they were cut to pieces in fragments by the sharp, agile Qingzhu Bee Cloud Swords—swords capable of effortlessly becoming intangible. Originally, this flying serpent, in conjunction with the Blue Sovereign's technique, should have far surpassed the current level of power. However, after being unexpectedly ensnared by Han Li, the blue-striped demonic clan managed to unleash barely a fraction of its full potential. Though deeply saddened by this, the blue-striped demon had to turn and proceed without hesitation, vanishing downward into the smaller mountain range. Observing this scene, Han Li's golden-hair giant ape raised its head and roared loudly. With a single stride, it swiftly moved across several flashes, spanning hundreds of paces to reach the sky above the smaller mountain. Then, with a swift motion of its hands, it hurled two mountain peaks down with tremendous force. At the same time, the giant ape clenched its fists, generating a powerful gale that surged downward. Witnessing such a stunning assault reach directly to his head, the Blue Master below showed no signs of panic; instead, a surge of exhilaration flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, he shook his sleeve, and a dark, round ritual platform shot forth, instantly transforming into a dense black cloud that completely enveloped his form. With two sharp bursts—"puff, puff"—the mountain peaks crashed down, and the cloud immediately dispersed into scattered beams of luminous energy. Yet the Blue Master vanished entirely from sight. The sky turned a deep hue, the void trembled, and waves of dark magical energy surged forth from the various array nodes. The colossal ape formed by Han Li felt black runes flicker into existence around him, tightening the air, and his body instantly halted mid-air, unable to move. Then, as the runes spun rapidly, they burst with a series of "thuds," shattering into strands of bright black light. These strands flashed wildly, coalescing into thick black chains that intertwined and instantly bound the giant ape firmly. At the same time, the dark magical energy below surged with a thunderous roar, forming massive tendrils that surged upward and rushed toward the ape. The blue glow in the ape’s eyes rippled continuously, showing no sign of fear. Suddenly, a low roar escaped his mouth, and his protective fur instantly stood rigid and upright, while his body swelled dramatically in size. The individual black chains quivered violently, tightened taut, and resonated with a low hum. A series of sharp cracks echoed as the chains fractured inch by inch. The giant ape's face darkened with fury, his arms swelling out in massive arcs and lifting high; at the same moment, his fur erupted into countless bursts of golden light. A surge of hissings rose as the golden radiance swept across the air, causing ripples of waves to spread out, ultimately shattering an invisible barrier. Then, with a single hand reaching out into the void, a massive silver ruler materialized in his grasp. With a resolute sweep across the surrounding area, a beam of silver light surged forth, roaring like a celestial silver dragon—cutting through the ethereal tendrils of magical energy, severing them in two as they fell. At that moment, a figure materialized silently in the sky above another mountain peak. Observing the great ape's magnificent display, the blue-veined demon did not visibly pale, yet emitted a cold huff. Suddenly, he shook his sleeve, and a black, lustrous gourd shot forth, inverted, its mouth instantly opening, from which several streaks of green light flashed out and vanished into the surrounding magical aura. With the other hand, he flipped his palm, causing the dark array disc to reappear. He then opened his mouth and expelled a cluster of pure blood, which dissolved into a mist and merged into the disc. The giant ape, upon seeing this scene, moved its massive nose and suddenly clenched both fists, sharply pounding its chest. A thunderclap roared! Golden filaments surged forth from within its body, flickering and instantly transforming into thick golden arcs that wove together into a net, enveloping the giant ape's vast form. The thunder rolled on without cease. As the bone spears flashed and struck the golden arcs, they trembled and momentarily stalled. Seizing the moment, the giant ape suddenly raised its head and issued a resounding, majestic roar! The roar shook the heavens, and under the bright glow of the golden arcs, they expanded into thick, bowl-sized beams, sweeping outward in all directions. The bone spears were struck simultaneously by over a dozen powerful arcs. Though specially crafted by magical techniques of the demonic race, they could not withstand such relentless, violent divine thunderbolts and were instantly reduced to wisps of green smoke. As for those massive tentacles, they instantly vaporized into mist the moment they made contact with the golden arc as thick as a bowl. The distant blue-patterned magical beings watched in stunned silence, then suddenly gasped in realization: "This is the Divine Exorcising Thunder! You've been protected by such thunder!" The blue elder was both astonished and furious, his voice tinged with growing agitation. Though seemingly unimpressive, those bone forks were actually objects that even ordinary magi-kings held in high regard—few things in the world could counter them, and the Divine Exorcising Thunder was precisely one of them. How could this magical being not be both shocked and enraged! The giant ape that had taken the form of Han Li roared with laughter, clenched his fists, and delivered a powerful punch straight toward the small mountain where the blue elder stood. A ripple of spatial disturbance passed through, and a golden fist, roughly the size of an acre, materialized above the mountain and struck down with force. The blue elder's face paled, and without a word, he raised his hand and struck the palm array disc in his other hand. A soft "puff" sound, and a surge of magical energy erupted from where he stood, instantly engulfing his form. A thunderous crash! The massive golden fist struck squarely against the ground where the Blue-veined Mage stood, causing the entire small mountain to tremble violently before collapsing into countless fragments. On a nearby mountain peak, a sudden burst of magical energy materialized, and the Blue-veined Mage materialized instantly. He swiftly turned to gaze at the crumbling scene of the distant mountain, his expression growing increasingly grim. Meanwhile, the golden-mantled giant ape did not pause, extending his hands and, with a mere gesture, summoned the two dark and jade mountains, which then materialized mysteriously in his palms. Without hesitation, he launched them directly toward the other two mountain peaks. Two more thunderous crashes followed, and those two smaller mountains too collapsed and vanished. At this moment, the thick magical aura beneath the spell began to thin slightly, growing noticeably less dense. "You want to break through the array? Dream on." "The True Sovereign will never let you go," said the Blue Sovereign, his eyes narrowing sharply as he watched the scene, his face suddenly hardening with fierce determination. As he spoke, he clenched his teeth, simultaneously forming a series of gestures with one hand and sharply shaking his sleeve, launching several blood-red pill capsules into the air. A surge of black mist rippled and rolled, and suddenly thirteen pale, bone-white skeletons appeared, each one opening its mouth to swallow the pills. As they did, their eyes flared with dark flames, and they began to whirl around the Blue Sovereign in a lively, eerie dance. Meanwhile, the Blue Demon Sovereign himself raised one hand and struck his celestial crown with a powerful motion. With a flash of bloodlight, his flesh and muscle began to peel away in patches. In moments, a similarly terrifying white, bone-white skeleton emerged, standing right in the midst of the thirteen.
