Chapter 2131: Acquire the Crystal

返回章节列表
The blazing sun emitted radiant hues of five colors, and wherever its light touched, the surrounding void trembled with waves of energy surging forth—powerful and awe-inspiring. At that moment, the black mountain crashed down upon the sun with a thunderous roar. A deep, resonant hum rang out—like a bell! The black light and the shimmering hues of five colors wavered and blurred, and a large section of the sun's surface was suddenly indented as if struck by the mountain itself. Almost simultaneously, three slender beams of pure black light converged and struck the sun at the very same spot in succession. A piercing cry tore through the void, erupting suddenly. Even though the five-color radiance was exceptionally dense and resilient, it could not withstand this relentless barrage. After the three beams vanished, the sun's surface was finally pierced through, revealing the translucent body of the magnet-beast. However, as the five-color radiance flashed several times and surged upward, and the holes shimmered and reformed, the surface gradually healed, returning to its original state. Yet how could Kang Li, high in the sky, allow such a thing to truly happen? At once, his shoulders subtly shifted, and the great ape he had transformed into faded into mere blur at its original spot. Immediately afterward, a ripple surged beside the five-colored sun, and the golden-bodied giant ape suddenly appeared, expressionless, extending one massive hand directly toward the already ruptured opening. Though the magnetic creature had concealed itself within the radiance of the sun, it clearly sensed that this was the moment of its life or death. It roared fiercely, and within its body, a long, translucent spear instantly materialized, then shot forth at lightning speed through the opening, precisely meeting the furry giant's outstretched hand. This spear was not only exceptionally sharp but also profoundly cold—formed instantly from rare cold materials within the creature's precious minerals—and before it even made contact, a wave of intense cold pressure surged forth, pressing forcefully against the giant's hand. Though this magnet-optic beast possessed only moderate intelligence, it had gained considerable experience in combat and knew well that as long as it could slightly deflect Han Li's attacks, it would remain unharmed. Han Li, observing this scene, let out a cold laugh. The colossal ape he had transformed into extended its great hand, but its five fingers merely trembled slightly. A thin stream of silver flame erupted from the tips of its fingers, expanded in the wind, and spread across the palm—yet it made no attempt to evade the crystalline spear, which plunged straight through. In an instant, the massive hand collided fiercely with the spear, encircled in a shimmering band of silver flame. A flash of brilliant light passed through, and then—silence. No sound, no ripple, no disturbance. As soon as the spear first struck the hand, it failed to pierce the flesh at all. Instead, the silver flame curled around it and completely enveloped the spear. Within a single breath, the spear, originally several zhang long, melted into droplets of crystal and vanished into the void, having never even offered resistance to the giant hand. Not only that, as the giant ape's arm trembled slightly, its five fingers, shimmering with silver flame, blurred slightly and flashed through the opening, seizing firmly onto the body of the magnetic light beast. A crisp crack echoed! The giant ape's palm suddenly pierced through the beast's body like it was withering and decaying, firmly grasping the glowing green stone at the center, radiating a piercing light. Yet when the ape tried to retract its hand, the force suddenly surging from within the beast's body, accompanied by a loud, painful roar, sucked its palm tightly, preventing it from withdrawing. For a moment, it could not pull its hand free. Seeing this, the giant ape formed by Han Li emitted a cold exhalation, swiftly accelerating his inner spell. The silver spiritual flames swirling between his fingers surged suddenly, expanding several times, fully enclosing the green stone and fiercely incinerating it without mercy. The hissing sound grew louder and more intense. The Ciyang Beast shuddered, and its five-colored suns vanished completely from its body, revealing the vastness of its form. At that moment, a golden glow surged over the giant ape's body, and its figure suddenly swelled dramatically, expanding within moments to a colossal height of nearly a thousand paces. Its face darkened with fierce determination, and a massive golden hand, like a mountain, slammed down onto the giant beast's enormous head, pressing firmly and immovable. Even with the incomparable divine power now residing within Han Li, combined with the extraordinary abilities granted by his transformation into the giant ape, the mighty beast's half-head was crushed hard into the ground with a thunderous roar. Under the crushing pressure from above and the agony of its inner magical core being refined by silvery flames, the beast naturally roared with a sound that shook the heavens, its massive body struggling desperately, its limbs hurling wildly against the giant ape. Yet, under the overwhelming force emanating from the golden-furred ape's hand, all such efforts proved futile—the beast's head remained firmly embedded in the ground, unable to lift even an inch. Moreover, a faint golden glow flashed across the giant ape's body, effortlessly deflecting all attacks—its fur remained untouched. Within the magnetic beast, the silver flame grew ever more intense, while the green stone block rapidly faded, weakening the creature's vitality and gradually diminishing its ability to struggle. Finally, after one final, desperate cry, the magnetic beast's body trembled slightly and then went completely still. Seeing this, the giant ape raised his massive hand, clenched it into a solid fist, and struck it forcefully against the beast's head. With a sharp crack, the beast's head shattered into countless crystalline fragments that scattered in all directions. At the same time, a cluster of green light, interwoven among these fragments, surged outward like a dart. This was the magnetic beast's true soul essence! Han Li had clearly anticipated this development. The giant ape suddenly opened his wide mouth, spewing out a surge of golden-blurred sword-like energy, which, with a swift swirl, reduced everything within dozens of meters to fine dust. The magnetic-aura spirit of the giant beast naturally met no mercy, being instantly severed and extinguished by the sharp blade of light. Just as the colossal ape shook his hand holding the green stone, he smoothly retracted his arm without any resistance from within the fallen beast's body. Only then did the giant beast truly meet its end. Under the intense silver flame, the green stone shrank rapidly, eventually condensing into a pale green crystal about a foot in diameter, radiating a soft, diffused green glow. The golden-mantled ape opened his mouth wide, as if smiling, but immediately his golden aura flared violently, and his body began to shrink swiftly. A short while later, Han Li stabilized the Jingzhi Technique and resumed his human form. As a ripple passed through the air, the leopard-mane beast flickered into view beside him, gazing curiously at the crystal now held in Han Li's hands. "To my surprise, after absorbing this beast's magical core, I've obtained so many materials. Once I return, I'll carefully refine them further—hopefully I can manage to create a Yin-Yang Five-Element Extreme Mountain." Han Li patted the golden creature on the head, then murmured to himself with a smile. The Leopard-Lion Beast gazed at the green crystals in Han Li's hands for a few more moments, then yawned, instantly settling into a lazy, drowsy posture. Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but find it amusing. With a swift motion of his sleeve, a cascade of azure mist surged forth and enveloped the small creature, and both of them vanished into thin air. Only then did he take a moment to survey his surroundings. The area was now a mess—due to the collapse of the mountain peaks and the fierce battle against the magnetic light beast, everything within a hundred li had been thrown into disarray. The ground was littered with deep craters and scattered stones, and several smaller peaks had toppled over, leaning at odd angles, glowing with an extraordinary brilliance. Han Li frowned slightly at this sight. With such a sight, no matter how great his powers, he could not conceal it all. Yet, after a brief thought, he simply rubbed his hands together and then swept them upward. Instantly, a roar of sound erupted, and countless clusters of silver flames burst forth, densely covering the magnetic light beast's body. The surging waves of silver flame soon consumed the giant corpse, turning it into ash. As for the other traces of battle left behind, Han Li paid no further attention, merely activating his flight spell and swiftly vanishing into a streak of jade-green light. Though this place was somewhat remote, the commotion from the fierce battle with the magnetic light beast had been quite substantial. If he remained in the vicinity, he was certain other high-ranking magical beings would soon come to investigate. With his current level of cultivation fully channeling his flight power, his speed naturally reached an astonishing degree. In just a short while, he had already traveled a distance of a million li. And not long after Han Li had departed, a gentle ripple spread across the sky, followed by a brilliant blue light surging toward the site where the magnetic light beast had fallen. As the blue light settled, a strange, large bird enveloped entirely in blue flames appeared in the surrounding sky. Its eyes were pale silver, and it swiftly circled the area before suddenly rolling over, transforming into a middle-aged woman dressed in a blue robe. Though her face was ordinary, her expression was cold, and she exuded an indescribable chill. However, before the blue-robed woman could carefully examine the various traces left beneath, her expression shifted, and her gaze turned toward another part of the sky. Within a breath, that distant sky shimmered with golden light, and a golden-hued flying vessel sped toward them. This golden boat seemed to move with a light, unhurried pace, yet upon a single flicker, it spanned over a thousand paces and materialized before the blue-robed woman in the air. "Six Extremes," the woman said, gazing at the boat with a calm expression, "it seems you've taken more time than agreed." "No," came a sweet female voice from within the boat. "I came late. It's actually Sister Blue Falls who arrived earlier than expected." As the voice spoke, a shimmer of green light flashed from the boat's prow, and a slender young woman appeared silently. "Hmph," the blue-robed woman replied, her expression unchanged, "I myself am most aware of whether I came early or not. Yet, having already attained the status of Primordial Ancestor, how is it that you suddenly send an avatar to visit me, a long-time acquaintance?" These two— one being the avatar of the Sixth Extremes Saint Ancestor, the other the very essence of the Blue Falls Saint Ancestor, who had not appeared publicly in years—had neither noticed the disorder below nor paid it any heed, instead turning their conversation to other matters. "Since I've sent my incarnation so far to come here, there must surely be great benefits for my sister—worthy of a substantial reward for her previous great assistance!" the young woman replied with a cheerful laugh. Yet upon hearing this, the woman's face instantly turned pale and looked deeply displeased!
