Han Li was startled at these words, yet before he could hesitate or take any action, a sudden clearing of mist revealed a vast realm of flashing emerald light—spanning tens of thousands of mu. Dense arcs of emerald electricity and clusters of emerald lightning balls were scattered throughout the void, with several of them roaring loudly and charging toward a central orb of golden light. Within this golden glow, a black beast several dozen zhang long was actively exhaling mist and vapor. The creature bore strange horns on its head, resembling a crocodile in form, with a coat of dark, scale-like armor. Its exhaled black mist transformed into over a dozen massive tentacles, furiously striking the emerald electric flashes outside the golden radiance. Many of the electric arcs, upon being struck by these black tentacles, instantly hissed and dissolved into wisps of emerald vapor. Behind the black beast, a young woman in white robes sat upon a lotus flower of soft pink hue, one hand forming seals while the other supported a short, earth-yellow halberd. Her eyes were closed, her body motionless as if carved from stone. Fleeting streaks of yellow light continuously emerged from the halberd and flowed into the outer aura, giving the impression that she was actively using her own magical power to resist the surrounding lightning attacks. Yet the number of azure electric flashes around her was overwhelming—countless strikes simultaneously hit the aura at nearly every moment. Though the yellow aura appeared remarkably resilient and capable of countering the lightning, under such relentless assault, it flickered intermittently, growing dimmer and less steady, as though it could no longer sustain itself. Upon clearly seeing the woman’s face, Han Li’s eyes slightly narrowed, but as he quickly glanced toward other areas, he immediately spotted two more figures. These two stood at either end of this realm of thunder and lightning—one a woman dressed in blue robes, the other a slender young woman. The former walked upon the back of a massive blue turtle, with six banners of about six feet in length floating before her, while the latter stood atop a golden great wheel, supporting a silver magical statue with one hand. The one speaking was precisely the young woman standing on the golden wheel. Upon seeing these two, Han Li's gaze flickered, and his expression darkened. Though he did not know the origin of the woman in blue robes, the young woman's appearance was identical to the six-essence manifestations described in the jade scrolls later passed on by Zilin to her trusted aides. Though only at the late Consolidation stage of cultivation, he certainly could not regard her as an ordinary late-stage demonic sovereign. As for the woman in blue robes, upon a mere sweep of his divine awareness, he could not discern her exact cultivation level—thus, he knew instantly that she was a demonic saint ancestor, personally present in her true form. Thus, even with Crab Dao Ren's assistance, facing these two would certainly prove troublesome. However, the sudden arrival of Han Li and his companions clearly surprised the two women. After a quick glance at Han Li, the young woman furrowed her brows and calmly said to the blue-robed woman: "Blue Sister, what's going on? You promised that within this Six-Extremes Thunder Array, you would not be disturbed at all. How then have these people ended up here? Your various incarnations should have intercepted them—why haven't they appeared to block them off?" "This array isn't as easy to set up as you might think," the blue-robed woman replied with a sniff, clearly displeased. "My incarnations must coordinate with my other subordinates to even勉强 activate it. While the restrictions elsewhere in the array may not be as intense as here, they are still formidable—far beyond what an ordinary person could easily overcome. I myself am curious as to how they managed to reach this very location." "Come to think of it, it's precisely because the original Six-Extremity Qing-Lei Array was inherently incomplete. Otherwise, how could we have remained unaware of their arrival all this time? Now, things are likely to take an unexpected turn." After a quick glance at both Han Li Xie Daoren and the young woman, the young woman seemed to sense something and sighed. The blue-robed woman and the young woman were none other than the Blue Pu Saint Ancestor and one of the Six-Ji Embodiments who had initially plotted to unite their forces. After gathering numerous subordinates, they finally traced the whereabouts of the precious flower and, over several days, established the grand Six-Extremity Qing-Lei Array—a powerful, high-level spell formation—here. Leveraging their deep understanding of the precious flower and a series of interlocking strategies, they successfully lured out the two healing Black Crocodiles, who had been concealed nearby, and brought them into the heart of the spell formation. While the Six-Extremity Qing-Lei Array itself possesses formidable power, its most subtle marvel lies in the fact that, prior to its activation, the array's fluctuations are almost imperceptible. Even with the great prowess of Bao Hua, a single misstep could send her deep within, unaware. This was precisely why the two chose this ancient, albeit incomplete, array, despite knowing its flaws. From that point on, everything unfolded naturally. Once Bao Hua's vital energy was severely depleted and she could no longer activate the Xuan Tian Hua Shu to protect herself, though she managed to locate the array's core, she could only勉强 hold on, even after summoning several of her most precious treasures, under the combined pressure of Lan Pu's Saint Ancestral Presence and the Six-Extreme Embodiments. Eventually, even the black crocodile, whose own condition remained unclear, was forced to reveal his true form and fight desperately. At this critical juncture, it seemed as though fate itself had intervened—unintentionally, yet surely—Han Li and his companions stumbled upon and unexpectedly entered the array, appearing right here. At that moment, upon hearing the young woman's words, the Blue Cascade Sage coldly smiled: "A mere late stage of Consolidation—what could possibly be troublesome? With just a finger's movement, I've already settled it... Hmm, who is this person? They don't seem to be of flesh and blood. There's a familiar resonance in their aura." As the woman spoke just two sentences, her expression suddenly changed, her gaze now startled, fixed upon the crab sage. "Finally, you've noticed it, haven't you? If I'm not mistaken, this guest is the original Sacred Crab Brother from the Magic Source Sea, while the one beside him is the recent troublemaker—Master Han, who has been causing such chaos in our Sacred Realm." The young woman's eyes flickered thoughtfully before she continued softly. "Master Han? The one from the Magic Source Sea? Really?" The blue-robed woman's expression shifted—though Master Han had gained some renown, he still wasn't yet a true Stage of Supreme Mastery, and thus hadn't yet captured the attention of such an established elder sage as the Blue Cascade Sage. Yet the Golden Saint Crab, though a pseudo-immortal long recognized in the Magic Source Sea, has been a familiar figure to nearly every Saint Ancestor—each one has encountered it several times, and thus holds it in high regard. "I never thought I'd have the privilege of meeting both of you here today—truly a blessing of three lifetimes! However, Master Han merely passed through this region. I kindly ask that you allow a clear path so we may depart without delay," said Han Li, bowing slightly to the two women, his tone appearing entirely composed. To this, both of them had initially been somewhat doubtful, but upon seeing the Crab Immortal standing silently, as if relying entirely on Han Li as his steed, they found themselves convinced that the matter was indeed true. "Never expected that someone so remote would stumble upon us quite by chance. However, since he's merely passing through, we don't wish to complicate matters. After all, allowing him to leave is quite feasible. Blue Sister, what do you think?" The young woman twirled her eyes, then suddenly smiled warmly and asked the blue-robed woman. "Hmph! If it weren't for the Crab Immortal being here, I'd never have let this human youth leave this realm. A mere human cultivator dares to roam freely among us in the Sacred Domain? The next time I encounter him, I'll certainly take his life." After several shifts of her gaze between Han Li and the Crab Immortal, a flash of fierce anger passed through her eyes, and finally, with a deep sigh, she said resentfully. Clearly, the woman was deeply reluctant to let Han Li, the human cultivator, depart unimpeded. But pressed by this more formidable adversary, Baohua, he could only reluctantly agree. "Then it's all up to the two senior masters," said Han Li, his expression slightly relaxed though he smiled gently. As for the conflict between the two demons and Baohua, the primordial ancestor of the Demon Realm, he had absolutely no interest in getting involved. The blue-robed woman sneezed again, then suddenly pointed her finger at the six flags before her, turning them into a vibrant green hue. Instantly, one of the flags swelled dramatically, growing into a towering banner over ten zhang high, its surface adorned with swirling arcs of five-toned green electricity, and a low rumble of wind and thunder subtly emanating from it. "Open!" she murmured. The massive banner trembled—then, in an instant, a thunderous crack split the air. A thick, dragon-like surge of green electricity shot straight out from the banner's apex, coalescing into a dense orb at a height of over a hundred zhang, which then solidified into a seal of seagreen, the size of a pavilion. When the azure runes vanished into the void, a flash of white light instantly revealed a hole several zhang in diameter, with the distant sky faintly tinged in a clear blue hue. At the same time, the azure electric glow before Han Li suddenly split apart to either side, clearing a wide, unobstructed path of safety. This Blue Cascade Sage Ancestor proved remarkably resolute—though his heart may have felt some hesitation, he immediately opened a passage leading outward from the array. Seeing this, Han Li was naturally delighted. With one foot planted firmly on the flying chariot beneath him, he prepared to soar straight through the newly formed passage and reach the outer edge of the array. Yet, just at that moment, the precious flower, trapped within the multitude of electric rays and glowing in a golden aura, sighed softly and opened her eyes. As her incense-like lips moved slightly, she uttered a single sentence that caused Han Li's expression to instantly transform: "Master Han, do you still wish to find Xiao Ling Tian?" Should my life truly end here, I believe no one else in the world would be able to accurately locate that small Ling Tian. "How do you know I'm searching for that small Ling Tian?" Han Li remained motionless on the flying carriage, his gaze fixed firmly on the lady known as Bao Hua, his face shifting through several expressions before suddenly responding. "It seems that Master Han has many distinguished experiences. Have you forgotten that the young girl beside you once stayed with me for a period of time? How could she not know about the small Ling Tian? Though I do not know precisely what or whom Master Han seeks at the small Ling Tian, it is undoubtedly something of great importance to him.
