"Boom!" The magical qi that had originally surged forth from the jade coffin suddenly reversed course, swirling back into the black coffin with a tremendous roar. Within moments, the black mist that had filled the entire hall was completely gone. At the same time, the engraved patterns on the surface of the jade coffin brightened dramatically, flashing with brilliant white light. Though the jade coffin itself was utterly black, the interplay of black and white created an eerie, almost suffocating atmosphere. However, this luminous glow lasted only for a few breaths before fading swiftly into dimness. Yet at this moment, a low hum began to emanate from within the jade coffin. Hundreds of definite silver characters surged forth again, spiraling through the air before suddenly coalescing into six towering, shimmering spectral figures. These figures varied in form—some were exceptionally tall and clad in armor, while others were slender and graceful, each crowned with two horns—each one clearly a humanoid magical creature. These silvery shadows appeared for only a brief instant, flickering into existence and then vanishing into scattered points of silver light as if they had never been. At the next moment, a groan issued from within the jade coffin, and a limb entirely encased in black armor suddenly rose, followed by a slender black armored warrior stepping out slowly and steadily from the coffin! This warrior was completely enveloped in an ancient, simple black battle armor, with a face mask bearing a green-faced, toothed visage directly covering his face—only two pale blue, clear eyes peering out from within. "Six-Extremity Sister, is your physical body unharmed? Can you still channel about two-tenths of your original essence through the divine mallet?" Yuan Sha immediately asked, upon seeing the female warrior rise. "Though there is still some suppression here, I can now channel about two-tenths of my original power—enough to handle all opponents below the stage of Great Stage." The female warrior stretched slightly and smiled lightly in reply. "Two-tenths is indeed sufficient to stand among the human cultivators." The elder sister had just woken up at the perfect moment—my younger sister is currently facing some difficulties and urgently needs your assistance. Upon hearing this, Yuan Sha's expression relaxed immediately. "What kind of difficulties? Oh, by the way, it seems you're not alone. There's a magnificent jade disc beside the stone hall—could it be one of our holy clan's members? Has the old Toxin Dragon also arrived in the spiritual realm?" The female warrior glanced outward and immediately noticed the large jade disc beside the stone pavilion, expressing surprise. "No, it's not the Toxin Dragon. It's several incarnations of the Blood-Light one who are currently operating this artifact. Moreover, right now I'm working together with him to pursue a human cultivator—this person possesses several treasures, including the Sealing Dragon Lock, the Purple Speech Cauldron, and the Chaotic Dual Energies!" Yuan Sha said without hesitation. "The Sealing Dragon Lock and the Chaotic Dual Energies? That's quite interesting—I'm now genuinely curious. Please go ahead and explain the full details to me." The female warrior's eyes flashed with interest, showing a touch of surprise, yet her voice remained calm and composed. "Here's what happened. Originally, I was entrusted by another incarnation of my sister to prevent a detrimental move by the human race. But upon arriving at the scene, I discovered something quite unexpected." Yuan Sha nodded, beginning to recount the story slowly. "Now, we can only hold our ground against that young human. The situation with the bloodlight seems rather unstable. Once we finally catch up with that human cultivator, I'm certain there will be more developments between me and him." It took the woman a full cup of tea's worth of time to finish her account, after which she exhaled deeply and smiled wryly. "Hearing this, it seems the bloodlight must have some contingency plans of their own—otherwise, how could they dare take such a bold initiative against you? Considering that he only manifested a dual form through body-sharing in the Spirit Realm, his capabilities are undoubtedly weaker than yours, who directly materialized your incarnation in this world. Yet you needn't worry. Since I've awakened at this very moment, I will certainly not remain passive." The Two Chaotic Energies are of great benefit to our Sage Ancestors, and it would be a great pity if they fell into the hands of the Bloodlight Sect. Moreover, as I have descended to this world in this embodiment, I've brought with me a considerable number of magical crystals—enough for you to restore your spiritual energy." The female warrior spoke calmly after listening. "That's wonderful. With my sister's assistance, I certainly have no worries at all." Yuan Sha appeared exceptionally delighted. ... A month later, in front of Han Li, a vast mountain range emerged, shrouded in a thick, hazy mist. This mist was not only dense but soared all the way into the heavens, blending seamlessly with the sky and appearing to stretch without any visible boundary. At that moment, Han Li sat in a jade-triangle flying vehicle, closed his eyes, and quietly regulated his inner energy, holding one fine spiritual stone in each hand. As the shimmering jade-green aura of the vehicle drew nearer to the mountains, Han Li seemed to sense something, his brow slightly lifting as he slowly opened his eyes. "At last, here it is—the legendary southernmost edge of the heavens." Indeed, the protective spell array that has safeguarded the human race for so many years has formed an unyielding seal. Had it not been for the merging of the two realms, weakening the seal's power significantly, it would have been truly difficult for anyone to endure the pain from this place. Han Li murmured this softly, then calmly closed his eyes once more. Yet his flying carriage showed no intention of stopping. With only a few swift glides, it entered the mist without hesitation. Half a day later, the stone pavilion and the great jade disc arrived at the same destination, traveling side by side. The master of the two treasures, Yuan Sha and Xue Guang, each appearing to discuss the situation, then promptly activated their respective treasures and entered the mist as well. For them, having driven Han Li to this point, there was no way they could now abandon him—despite knowing the wild realm to be perilous, they had no choice but to follow closely behind. … Three months later, Han Li materialized above a marsh. With a flick of his fingers, countless streaks of jade-colored sword qi interlaced and converged, cleaving a massive purple lion trapped within a golden lightning net into countless fragments. A deluge of blood rained down from the sky. With a single hand gesture, he reached into the blood rain, and a cluster of purple light shot upward, landing in his palm upon a brief shimmer—revealing a translucent, egg-sized immortal spirit embryo! "Having gone through all this effort, I've finally dealt with this purple-eyed lion at the late Lingxu stage. With these spirit embryos of the beasts, I should now be able to prepare a batch of 'Spirit-Siphon Pills.' With these pills, my internal qi should be able to sustain me for a while yet." Han Li exhaled deeply, his face slightly pale, yet a gentle smile played at the corners of his lips as he murmured these words. Though he had numerous pills to restore his internal energy, constant consumption over nearly a year had gradually brought his reserves to a limit. Reliant solely on hand-held spirit stones to restore his spiritual energy, he would soon be unable to sustain his escape. With a firm determination, Han Li decided to take risks and directly locate several high-tier ancient beasts, dispatching them with decisive strikes to obtain some immortal embryos. Using these embryos as primary ingredients, supplemented by other medicinal herbs, he could then swiftly produce a batch of spirit-restoring pills. Although the timing prevented him from achieving optimal heat control, resulting in a significant loss of potency from the embryos, he no longer cared about such details. This course of action, however, gave Han Li a sense of greater reassurance. As long as he could promptly eliminate enough ancient beasts to gather sufficient materials for pill-making, he believed he could endure longer than the pursuing forces. A day later, when the three incarnations of the Blood Light and Yuan Sha also arrived at the marsh, gazing upon the ancient beasts now reduced to scattered heaps of flesh, all four of them expressed a noticeably concerned demeanor. Clearly, the others had also sensed the underlying intent behind Han Li's actions. Though they couldn't immediately devise a strategy, once they found themselves caught in the momentum, they had no choice but to press on resolutely. Fortunately, both parties carried ample magical crystals, so they needn't worry about running out of magical energy at any time. Thus, Han Li steadily eliminated various ancient beasts along the way, preparing restorative pills to replenish his allies' magical reserves, gradually drawing the pursuing forces deeper into the heart of the wild, untamed realm. When, occasionally, he couldn't secure ancient beast's immortal essences to produce pills, Han Li would simply resolve to take a stand, directly consuming several rare immortal herbs and fruits from the Qinghan Realm. While these medicinal substances possessed diverse properties, each one carried an exceptionally pure flow of spiritual energy. Though the effects were somewhat diminished when taken raw, they still provided timely replenishment of magical energy. Nevertheless, this practice inevitably caused a clash of conflicting properties within Han Li's body, posing a certain degree of harm to his health. Under normal circumstances, he would only need a bit of time, using his spiritual power to expel or refine these medicinal properties, and thus be free from any issue. But given the hurried state of his current flight—constantly on the run—neither time nor spiritual energy could be spared for this matter. He could only temporarily press these strong medicinal effects deep within his body, postponing their resolution until later. With his current abilities, he would naturally face no immediate problems in the short term. However, as time passed and he continued to swallow other medicinal herbs, these very properties would eventually become a serious, persistent concern. This was something he himself fully recognized, though, in order to save his life, he had no choice but to endure. Thus, as he and the pursuing forces continued to flee and chase each other, another half-year passed without notice. On this day, Han Li was seated in the flying vehicle, eyes closed in meditation, with a graceful white-clad woman standing before him, displaying a noble bearing. She held a single hand in a seal, her body radiating a crystalline glow, skillfully guiding the flying vehicle. This woman was precisely the spirit-attuned automaton. Though this puppet's magical power far fell short of Han Li's, and his speed in maneuvering flying treasures had greatly diminished, he no longer stalled at any one point, waiting passively for the pursuing forces to catch up. This allowed Han Li to occasionally catch his breath. Otherwise, over such a prolonged journey, even with pills and spiritual stones replenishing his strength, he would have been utterly unable to endure this far. Yet even thus, Han Li's complexion had noticeably worsened compared to six months ago, and his vital energy now seemed faint and intermittent. Suddenly, Han Li's face tightened, and he snapped his eyes open. At the very same moment, in the empty space just a few miles away, a thunderclap roared, and countless silver arcs emerged, weaving and converging to form a magnificent, shimmering array of silver lightning. At the heart of the array, a deep rumble followed, and a sturdy, tall figure staggered into view.
