Chapter 2162: The Wood Clan's Great Battle (Six)

Back to Chapter List
"Then it's settled," Crab Daojun said calmly, as if it didn't matter at all. Han Li nodded, and with one finger pointed toward the two魔race corpses, he made a gesture in the air. Instantly, two sharp "pffft" sounds echoed, and two bright red fire balls shot out, engulfing the remains in a roaring blaze and turning them into ash. With his other hand, he extended it and in the palm of his hand, a jade-green array disk materialized. Han Li murmured incantations, preparing to activate the seal and transport himself and Crab Daojun through this space. But at that moment, a tremendous roar erupted from the heavens, causing the entire space to tremble violently, as though it were about to collapse. Han Li was startled and immediately abandoned any hesitation, hurling the array disk forward. A brilliant glow surged forth, expanding into a soft, hazy white light array. In a single movement, he stepped and arrived at the center of the array. At the same time, Xie Dao Ren also blurred slightly, following Han Li and arriving at the light array. Han Li casually cast a spell. The array hummed and then burst forth with a brilliant white light, instantly vanishing both Han Li and Xie Dao Ren. Immediately afterward, countless white, hazy fissures appeared in the surrounding void, and after a series of crisp, resonant sounds, the entire space truly collapsed and disintegrated. At the edge of the mountain range, atop an unnamed peak, a ripple in the space caused a white light array to materialize. Then, with a slight shift, Han Li and Xie Dao Ren materialized within it. Han Li's expression was grave, while Xie Dao Ren remained composed. "What has happened? How could the seal suddenly fail?" Han Li suddenly raised a hand, and as the light array dimmed, it transformed once more into a jade-green array, which he then placed gently at his lips, asking in a low tone. "Xie brother, it's not good." The Sacred Tree just showed that the third array focal point had been breached. Some of the seals within the entire Wood Realm array can no longer be activated, and the power of others is also gradually weakening." As the array disc flashed with light, a solemn voice from Cao Ji came through. "One focal point has already been broken! How is this possible? How could the demonic forces find it so quickly? Even if they could reach it, with the seals and the other cultivators in their combined stage guarding it, how could they manage to destroy the focal point?" Upon hearing this, Han Li was struck with alarm and quickly asked, "Wait a moment—I've just received a flying sword message sent by a cultivator from the third focal point just before their demise... It's not good. Six incarnations of the Sacred Ancestors appeared simultaneously, eliminating all the cultivators defending the focal point before finally destroying the third focal point. It seems that someone from the demonic forces has a deep understanding of the Wood Realm array. These incarnations of the ancestors had actually gone straight for the third focal point from the very beginning, which explains why it was destroyed so swiftly. The voice of the wooden-clad Han from the array paused briefly before suddenly becoming filled with shock and fury. "If the magical race truly has someone who understands the Great Wooden Realm Array, then soon we here—and even the primary array focal point—will likely be attacked by these incarnations of the Sage Ancestors. While the defensive mechanisms of the Great Wooden Realm Array are effective against ordinary magical elders, they cannot withstand the incarnations of the Sage Ancestors for long. We must act swiftly and decisively. Grass Brother, you needn't worry about depleting the array's energy. Expand the range of your inspection mechanisms by another factor of two, and alert me immediately upon any movement. I will resolve the current battle quickly, after which we can fully focus on the incoming forces." After a brief pause, Han Li issued the instructions with unwavering authority. "Agreed—there's little else we can do. Brother Han, rest assured—I will do my best." Grass Ji hesitated slightly before finally nodding and agreeing. Then, the glow of the array dimmed, and no further sounds were heard. "Some of the magical beings also know the precise location of the array's focal point. Hah, it seems our defense mission won't be as straightforward as we originally anticipated. Brother Xie, let's go—first, we need to deal with these immediate threats." After a moment's thoughtful silence, Han Li suddenly chuckled. He then swiftly tapped the array with his finger several times, and waves of ripples spread through the surrounding void. A cascade of five-colored light shimmered and rolled past, and suddenly, Han Li and Dao Ren Xie vanished completely from their original positions. The十余 Wood Clan members concealed within the luminous aura barrier had dwindled to just half, now remaining only in fragmented groups, yet they continued to summon and hurl various treasures toward the central crimson hairy figure, launching relentless assaults. However, each attack was effortlessly deflected by the blood-colored ribbons swirling around the figure. With only a slight counterstrike, waves of blood-tinged energy surged outward from the ribbons, shaking the treasures and sending them spiraling into the air. When these waves directly surged toward the Wood Clan members, they disrupted the shimmering aura barriers, causing them to waver and loosen. The Wood Clan members who had fallen were clearly dispersed and destroyed when their vibrant five-color aura light was shattered by these blood-tinged waves. As for the two creature-monsters with monkey heads and wolf bodies, they had now transformed into a dozen translucent shadows, their four limbs sweeping out dense, continuous waves of clawed attacks aimed at the massive hairy figure, though they dared not advance too close. In this situation, although the Lady Fei Xiao Xi and her companions still managed to withstand the hairy figure's assaults, they were clearly in a defensive retreat, completely outmatched. And there stood a colossal hairy figure. As his two large hands danced upward, black runes on his body surged and flashed continuously. The十余 blood-jacals he summoned gradually thickened and grew larger, their swirling luminous bands emitting阵阵 strange cries, growing more spirited with each battle. Princess Xiao Xi maintained a composed expression, yet her heart was already growing increasingly anxious. She had assumed that, despite the legendary magical prowess attributed to the opponent, his original cultivation level remained a solid foundation. Even after achieving the combined state, his abilities might compare to those of a full-stage cultivator, but still fell slightly short of her own—let alone with over a dozen fellow cultivators of the Lingxu stage supporting him. Yet upon actual engagement, she realized the situation had become far more serious! This Blood-Immense Magic of Xue Ke was extraordinarily profound and powerful. The blood-jacals manifested by the magic were no less impressive than genuine dragon serpents. Even when several powerful techniques were used to defeat one or two of them, the opponent merely waved his hand, and new blood-jacals instantly reformed from the surrounding blood energy. When she shifted her focus from the blood serpents to the true body of the hairy humanoid, the luminous bands on his body likewise became unpredictable, successfully deflecting all of her attacks. Despite neither her techniques nor her artifacts being inferior, Princess Xiao Xi could only rely on the array's support, trading off her magical energy against his, turning the battle into a prolonged attrition struggle. And as time progressed, the situation grew increasingly unfavorable! Just as she was deeply concerned and pondering whether to seek aid from Cao Ji, a tremendous roar erupted suddenly from one side, and two figures materialized within the seal. It was Han Li and the Crab Daoist! Princess Xiao Xi was momentarily stunned. "Indeed impressive! It's clear that the four immaterial magi-kin are manifestations of the same being. With only a combined body stage, he has managed to hold his own against a higher stage, clearly demonstrating the exceptional nature of his magical cultivation." Han Li glanced at the massive hairy humanoid, his expression subtly moved. "Brother Han, how is it that you two are here? Have you already defeated your opponents?" Fei Xiao Xi exhaled deeply, then asked with a complex expression. "The other Magi-Kings have been eliminated by us. As for Fei Xianzi's opponent, however, she proves quite tenacious. Allow me to lend her a hand," Han nodded, not waiting for Fei Xiao Xi to respond. Instantly, in the shimmering aura, he pressed a hand seal, and his body suddenly burst forth with a brilliant golden glow, swelling rapidly until he transformed into a colossal golden-furred giant ape, towering over a hundred zhang in height. A piercing cry sliced through the heavens! Instantly, two mountain peaks blurred, then transformed into luminous spheres of black and dark green, shooting forth before vanishing in a flash. The giant's face instantly flushed with shock and rage, barely having time to summon back the dozen blood-jade dragons. With a low cry, a luminous band of light spiraled around his body, momentarily blurring into a massive blood-colored shield before solidifying—rising several feet tall and several feet thick. Seeing the overwhelming momentum of Jishan, the blood-red-furred creature instantly realized that they were truly at the brink of life and death. At once, his face paled, and he roared with a thunderous cry. Simultaneously, countless black characters coalesced and transformed into a pair of dark, armored fists, which he hurled straight against Jishan’s consecutive attacks. At the same time, his body swelled in size, and streams of blood surged forth from his fur, nearly doubling his vital energy. Clearly, the creature had summoned a secret incantation to unleash its full potential, expending his true energy in this desperate, final effort.
