Chapter 1,897: Subduing the Demons

Back to Chapter List
Under the powerful influence of this law-force, the lone small hill remaining nearby suddenly crumbled with a thunderous roar, fragment by fragment. The entire magical array collapsed as if swept away by a strong wind, its strength overwhelmed, and within dozens of li, the magical aura began to rapidly thin out. Dense clusters of five-colored light points emerged in the void, surging in a tidal wave toward the purple broken blade. As the five-colored light glimmers rippled and flowed, the damaged sections of the blade instantly repaired themselves, restored to wholeness. The purple blade resonated with a hum, and the fluctuations of the law-force intensified slightly. Among the five-colored light points still yet to reach it, trembling and gradually transforming, began to crystallize into five-colored glyphs. A smile of contempt briefly flashed across the Golden Form's face. Suddenly, he gently shook the purple blade, aligning it precisely toward the mother-mage in the air, while the speed at which the five-colored light glimmers flowed onto the blade surged significantly. The arm holding the purple-cracked blade, bathed in so many hues of radiant light, suddenly transformed into a translucent, jade-like hue. At once, a terrifying aura—capable of splitting heaven and earth—rose powerfully from the blade, swelling rapidly and continuously as more and more points of five-colored light infused from the primordial energies of heaven and earth. The maternal demon, engaged in fierce combat with the giant ape formed from韩立's essence, instantly felt this surge of power, jolted by it, and found her demonic nature retreating significantly, regaining most of the rationality of the Blue-veined Master. Without a single moment's hesitation, the massive skeletal frame launched all twenty-six bone blades held in its hands at once and then snapped its fingers. The blades instantly coalesced into a single, monstrous blade stretching dozens of zhangs in length, which then surged forward with a powerful strike. Meanwhile, the skeletal frame's magical flame rolled and spiraled, instantly turning to face upward and rocketing skyward, swiftly gliding to a distance of over a hundred zhang in a single flash. But at that very moment, a ripple of disturbance surged around the bones, and a massive green hand flashed out like lightning, instantly seizing the magic creature's unexpected shoulder. The mother-mage was startled, but immediately her eyes flashed with fierce determination, and with a roar, a surge of magical flame erupted from her mouth. The green hand roared with the flame, blackened and scorched in places, yet still held firm, showing not the slightest sign of releasing its grip. Glowing green light flashed several times, and the hand swiftly restored itself to its original state, even stronger in strength at the fingertips. The mother-mage now grew genuinely alarmed. With a swift motion of several arms, she launched a series of bone-blades that sliced through the green hand. A continuous series of crisp "crack" sounds echoed, and most of the bone-blades sank deeply into the hand—by several inches—yet could not penetrate further. The green hand itself proved remarkably solid, far harder than ordinary treasures. The mother-mage was now both astonished and furious. With a thunderous roar, she suddenly blurred into form, and her entire skeletal body instantly fragmented, scattering into countless bone fragments. Although the azure hand still tightly clutched seven or eight bone fragments, the other bone pieces, scattered over several dozen paces, suddenly coalesced again, reforming the skeletal body. Remarkably, despite the missing bone fragments, the mother demon seemed unaffected at all. However, during this brief pause, the second immortal embryo controlled by Han Li had already completed his incantation. As the golden runes shimmered on the surface of his purple blade, he suddenly shook the blade and slashed it forcefully toward the mother demon. A powerful force of law instantly surged from the blade, forming a dark, turbulent wave that rolled forth. In a single flash, the wave reached the mother demon's body and enveloped her head-on. The mother demon was startled, her surface magic flames surging several times stronger. She rolled her body to meet the dark wave, and her entire frame resonated with a series of explosive bone cracks, hundreds of bone blades erupting from her body and shooting forth amidst the flames. An astonishing scene unfolded! Regardless of the seemingly furious magical flames or the dense, towering bone blades, upon contact with the black tidal wave, they were instantly extinguished by a swirling dust, emitting not a single sound. The Mother Dragon was deeply startled, launching into flight to escape, yet the surrounding void immediately enveloped her with the force of the laws of nature. As her body's luminous aura solidified, she could not move an inch from her original position. Under the pressing weight of the black wave, the Mother Dragon's immense form was submerged and instantly dissolved, vanishing completely from existence. At the very moment the Mother Dragon perished, the thirteen skeletal heads engaged in battle with the purple-striped gold-feeding insects, and the massive bone lotus locked in a golden vortex, also transformed into streams of black smoke and disappeared. Then, the vast force of the laws of nature trembled and instantly collapsed and dispersed into the void. Simultaneously, the black tidal wave flickered and vanished, as if it had never appeared in the void at all. The purple-forged blade now wielded by the Buddha-Saint's golden form had dimmed noticeably on its surface, clearly having sustained considerable strain from the previous strike. At that moment, a greenish shimmer in the nearby void flashed, and another "Han Li" with emerald-skinned form emerged calmly. This was precisely the immortal ethereal body—the "Zhi Xian Ling Sheng"—that Han Li had possessed. Currently, it was being skillfully controlled by Qu Er, the form transformed from Qu Ling Shan. Though this young adept still held a relatively modest cultivation level, due to their shared nature as celestial and terrestrial spiritual beings, the Zhi Xian Ling Sheng body showed no resistance or incompatibility, and thus could effectively unleash a significant portion of its inherent power. Over the course of several centuries, Han Li had continuously nurtured and enriched this ethereal body with a mysterious spiritual elixir, and it had now matured to an advanced stage of the Consolidated Body phase. Even though, under Qu Er's guidance, only a portion of the body's full potential could be realized, this remarkable cultivation level alone made it a vital asset to Han Li. It was precisely this strength that enabled the ethereal body to briefly Otherwise, with this mother demon's strange and mysterious powers, it truly wouldn't be something that韩立 could defeat within a short period of time. Upon seeing the golden form and spiritual body strike down the mother demon, neither hesitated, and with a swift movement, they instantly merged into the colossal ape's body, transforming into golden light and green shadows, vanishing in an instant. The golden aura on the golden-mantled giant ape flashed once, and its form rapidly shrank, soon regaining its human shape, revealing韩立's true appearance. At this moment,韩立 exhaled a long breath, a gentle smile playing at the corner of his lips. However, just then, a thunderous roar suddenly erupted from the other direction, causing the very ground to tremble violently. Simultaneously, several powerful and chilling essences surged upward from the same direction, radiating an overwhelmingly evil and cold atmosphere.韓立's expression darkened, his gaze flashing, and he immediately turned his attention toward the battle scene on the opposite side. Due to the complete collapse of the entire magical array, the previously pervasive black demonic aura finally dispersed entirely, allowing the scene on that side to be clearly visible. To one's astonishment, the immense crystal dome that had previously confined the bald demon and the four heavenly ghosts had shattered piece by piece. The bald demon and the four heavenly ghosts were now violently rolled out like gusts of阴wind, and after a few flickers, each reappeared in full form, hovering in mid-air. The four heavenly ghosts remained largely unchanged, save for their fierce expressions. However, upon emerging, the bald demon, after a quick glance at Han Li, found that his meticulously arranged magical array had vanished entirely, and the presence of the Blue Monarch had completely disappeared—his face immediately grew grave. His gaze upon Han Li now carried a deep sense of bewilderment. As a close associate of the Blue Monarch, the bald demon naturally knew something about the Blue Monarch's cultivation of the Parent-Child True Demon Technique. He was well aware that when this technique reached its full potential, its power surpassed even that of the four heavenly ghosts summoned by the Blue Monarch from the Heavenly Ghost Sect. From the moment he was trapped until he finally broke free, it had only been a brief span of time. During this period, even with the Blue Master employing his maternal and offspring True Magic, he was utterly eliminated by Han Li—something that left him utterly incredulous. The Silver Immortal who had been continuously channeling her silver light to restrain the bald demon, finally collapsed at the very instant the crystal dome shattered, her delicate lips parting as several clots of blood sprayed out, her face turning as pale as paper. Clearly, this maiden had sacrificed considerable inner energy to contain the bald demon, depleting her vital essence significantly. After scanning the bald demon with a steady gaze, Han Li's lips twitched slightly, and then he revealed a cold, resolute expression. Yet before he could take any decisive action, the bald demon suddenly raised one hand, pressing a series of gestures, and a powerful black glow surged across his body. With a sudden burst, he transformed into a long streak of dark purple light, stretching over ten zhang, and swiftly vanished into the void. Seeing the situation deteriorating, the demon acted decisively, fleeing immediately. The four heavenly ghosts, caught in the wave of black light, were likewise swept up and carried along As for the Tian Gui Sect, when the bald magical race vanished, it seemed to fade away in a single flash, as though merely a shadow. Han Li narrowed his eyes, emitted a cold exhalation, and shook his sleeve, then pressed a hand seal. With the hum beginning, the thirteen purple-striped gold-devouring insects fluttered their wings and instantly transformed into thirteen bursts of purple light, swiftly pursuing ahead. At the same time, a thunderous sound rose behind Han Li, and a pair of translucent feather wings emerged. After a roll, he then took shape again—surrounded by a hundred thick electric arcs—becoming a silver great phoenix with four wings. With a single flap of all four wings, the great phoenix vanished into a burst of electric light, roaring in place. In an instant, Han Li’s great phoenix and the black iridescent aura surged forward in succession, vanishing completely at the horizon. Watching the great phoenix clearly outpacing the black aura, the silver-clad maiden exhaled deeply, her expression relaxing. This woman had a clear self-awareness, knowing that with her current condition, even if she managed to catch up with the retreating demon race, she would be of little help. Thus, she simply remained where she was, without pursuing. She swiftly retrieved a jade vial from her storage bracelet, swallowed seven or eight pills at once, and immediately her face flushed with an unusual deep red, though her spirit seemed to revive slightly. Then, the Silver Light Princess turned her gaze toward the spot where the magic array had just been, scanning the remains of several small mountains that had crumbled into rubble. A subtle expression of surprise flickered across her composed features. As the woman's eyes flashed with thought, a thoughtful expression gradually formed on her face. Half an hour later, a sharp sound of rushing air echoed from the sky, and a streak of jade-green light shot down, arriving suddenly at the height of the Silver Light Princess just in a few swift movements. As the light faded, Han Lin stepped forward with an expressionless face. With a simple motion of her arm, she suddenly threw a round object through the air, which rolled gracefully and landed precisely before the Silver Light Princess. This object exuded a strong scent of blood—a colossal, terrifying head of a heavenly ghost.
