Chapter 2238: Intense Battle

返回章节列表
A tremendous roar echoed, as if the entire abyss had been flipped upside down! The surrounding seawater vanished instantly, leaving behind a dense, ink-black sky above, while below, the scene was hazy and gray, with faint flashes of white light intermittently appearing—like countless stars scattered across the ground. Ghostly wails rose around, and as the cold winds swept through, the points of white light surged upward in a continuous flow. The once-vast pink petals, which had originally shrouded a thousand mu of land, had now shrunk to only a few mu in size, enveloping themselves and Han Li and the others entirely. The ethereal image of the spiritual realm, now condensed, shimmered with a crystalline brilliance, radiating a fragrance several times stronger than before, and dancing with increased speed, like a snowfall that now protected everyone within its embrace. Yet beyond this floral domain, the colossal form of the Mother of the Rice Stem Bugs was entirely absent—replaced only by the silhouettes of countless white bone skulls. These skulls exhaled pale flames that collided with the pink petals, producing waves of strange, rhythmic disturbances, as though the forces of water and fire were silently clashing. With each impact, however, the precious flower at the heart of the domain grew paler. Within a short while, the woman grew drenched in sweat, her eyes dimming with fading light. Han Li, witnessing this, felt a sudden surge of concern. "Brother Han, although I've already shrunk the Spiritual Realm, I don't think we can sustain this much longer." Bao Hua spoke quickly, her face showing signs of growing tension. "I understand," Han replied in a low voice. "I'll try to break through it—after all, I don't believe it can truly manifest the True Heavenly Spiritual Realm. This isn't the Immortal Realm!" After giving a brief instruction to the Crab Daoist, Han suddenly rolled to the ground and transformed into a colossal golden ape, towering several dozen zhang in height. With a mere flick of his shoulders, the ape assumed a fierce, three-headed, six-armed form. Grasping his six massive hands into fists, he roared and struck hard outward. A flash of golden light! Six luminous orbs, each as large as a head, burst forth simultaneously from the six palms, swiftly fading and appearing beyond the floral realm, where they exploded among the numerous white bone skulls. A thunderous roar of earth-shattering resonance followed, and the six orbs instantly unraveled into a cascade of golden mist. All the white bones and skeletons touched by Jin Xia instantly flashed and turned to ash. Han Li's single strike had, in fact, cleared out a vast, empty expanse beyond the Blossom Domain. The precious blossoms immediately sensed a subtle loosening in the law forces surrounding the Xuannv Blossom Domain, and a faint gleam of joy passed across her face. Yet, just as that joy had begun to emerge, it instantly solidified. In the once-empty void, points of white light appeared, and skeletons—now densely clustered—reappeared, each furious, spewing out pale flames against Jin Xia once more, their energy now even stronger than before. "Indeed, they are indestructible. But what if this is the case?" Han Li, seeing this, showed no surprise at all. Instead, he murmured softly and then raised one hand, tracing a series of gestures before pointing it toward the opposite void. A thunderous roar echoed—golden light shattered and dispersed into a dense gathering of golden characters, instantly coalescing into a golden vortex of about one zhang in diameter. The primordial qi of heaven and earth surged violently, causing the vortex to spin wildly. Waves of Buddhist chants followed, and then a terrifying suction surged forth, drawing in countless skeletons and forcibly pulling them into the vortex. Though these white bones would flash and reappear at their original spots, their aura seeming slightly stronger each time, the suction within the vortex remained endless and steadily grew in intensity. As a result, no matter how many times the skeletons reappeared, they were invariably drawn in and violently torn apart. "Hmm, Xu's divine light... no, not exactly. It's merely a simulated ability. Hah! If it were the genuine divine light, I might indeed feel some apprehension. But this mere imitation? I can easily extinguish it with a mere hand movement!" A delicate, melodic laugh echoed through the void, that of the mother of the rice stem borers. As the ripple in the space surged, a black rune shot forth, flashing once and then merging into the golden vortex. Instantly, a surge of law-based power enveloped everything. "Pffft!" The golden vortex, which had originally expanded nearly ten zhang in diameter, swiftly contracted after absorbing the black rune, shrinking in a flash and ultimately vanishing into scattered golden streaks of light. This vast web seemed forged from some extraordinary divine prowess, with a shimmering gray filament radiating an overwhelmingly potent aura. Though Crab Dao-ren had nearly exhausted his entire electrical power, the web remained utterly undamaged, merely suspended in the electric light, unable to descend for the moment. Neither party summoned any additional treasures or artifacts—clearly recognizing that against such a formidable foe, ordinary items were of little use, and that their fundamental divine techniques proved far more effective. Innumerable golden runes swirled and coalesced, suddenly manifesting dozens of shimmering golden vortices, which then erupted with a thunderous roar, spinning wildly into motion. A cold exhalation! A flash of black light appeared in the void, followed by the precise projection of several dozen black runes, each striking the vortices with pinpoint accuracy. The same scene repeated itself. The golden vortices flickered silently before suddenly vanishing without a trace. Yet Han Lin remained impassive. His colossal ape-like fist-figures, like mountains, surged forward, and more golden spirals flashed and gathered within the skulls, beginning to rotate vigorously. "Junior! Dares you!" The mother of the insect pests finally lost her composure, issuing a sharp cry. The black runes ceased to appear, yet all the white bone skulls simultaneously emitted strange howls, gradually fusing into distinct human-shaped skeletons, each towering over a hundred feet in height. Their surfaces were adorned with countless skulls, and their expressions were twisted in agony, so that upon first glance, one could hardly help feeling a sharp sensation of dread creeping up the spine. There were hundreds of these massive skeletons. Under the fierce golden light and suction of the cavern's vortex, with just a simple hand gesture and a gentle shimmer of crystalline radiance flowing across their bodies, they remained firmly in place, seemingly unaffected at all. Even more astonishingly, after emitting a series of strange, grating laughter, a sudden gust of odd wind surged up from their bodies, and amid the swirling gray and white runes, they transformed into a host of white-boned warriors clad in translucent bone armor, each wielding a massive white bone pike. Under the steady infusion of delicate spiritual energy, these towering warriors exuded an overwhelming aura, rivaling even that of ordinary Great Stage cultivators. With a thunderous roar, they launched the white bone pikes, which instantly dissolved into dense, eerie beams of light, plunging them into the vortexes. A series of deep resonances erupted! As the golden vortexes swelled and contracted, they burst open one after another. The giant skeletons, then, raised one hand toward the void, and the massive bone pikes reappeared, before hurling them once more with unwavering determination. This time, their target was the Xuan Tian Spiritual Realm of Bao Hua. Upon seeing this, Bao Hua's face instantly turned pale, yet she was too deeply engaged in sustaining the entire spiritual domain to spare any additional effort. However, after witnessing the terrifying power of these bone spears in shattering the洞玄 golden light, how could Han Li allow them to achieve such a decisive breakthrough? As the giant ape he had transformed into raised its hand, a shimmer of emerald light appeared, and the Xuan Tian Sword of Spirit-Slaying instantly materialized silently. With a swift motion, it swiftly slashed, sending out a series of fifteen green lines in a continuous flow. "Boom!" A wave of spatial tremors rippled through the void, and the green lines, along with the bone spears, vanished completely between the two realms—one large and one smaller—both consumed in the clash. Though this strike had significantly drained Han Li's spiritual energy, his complexion grew slightly bluish a moment later. With another wave of arm movements from the white bone soldiers, fresh bone spears coalesced once more, and their aura surged again, as if their cultivation levels had suddenly surged dramatically. The tips "Brother Han, be careful. I'll lend you my strength. Even the Xuan Tian Ling Domain cannot truly reverse the fundamental laws of nature—this is likely their final assault. As long as you withstand this wave, their Domain will be drained of all its power and can no longer sustain itself." A flash of astonishment passed through Bao Hua's eyes, yet she immediately issued a sharp, vibrant cry to warn him. At the very moment she spoke, a look of determination swept across her face. With a sudden hand motion, she flipped her palm, and a yellowish soil-colored spike materialized—precisely the Earth Sovereign Spike. Bao Hua grasped the spike in one hand, then, with a blur of motion, swiftly drove it into the massive floral branch that supported the entire Domain, radiating a brilliant yellow glow. The once-withered, energy-depleted giant tree—already showing signs of frailty—immediately surged with an intense surge of vitality the moment the Earth Sovereign Spike touched it. Under the shimmering radiance of its leaves, the branches regained a vibrant, dewy green, and the tree's volume swelled by nearly half.
