As the gray energy of the Primordial Magnetic Light surged relentlessly, the woman was inwardly astonished. She knew Han Li’s abilities were extraordinary, but she had never imagined they would be to this extent.
However, Xiao Hong, gritting her teeth, could no longer hold on and unleashed black flames, a dozen feet high, from her entire body into the sky.
*Whoosh!*
From within the flames, a black phoenix the size of a palm suddenly appeared, cried out clearly, and spread its wings wide. But suddenly, a gap opened in the void, and the black phoenix vanished into it.
Thanks to this, the sword lights that had been densely flying in and the five-colored cold flames that had been raging everywhere struck the empty space.
“Spatial divine ability!” Han Li sneered, and a black light flashed between his eyebrows. Then, his third demonic eye appeared. As the third eye snapped open, a black thread extended out and disappeared.
Han Li flapped the wings on his back and vanished, reappearing thirty feet away in the void, flashing with a blue-white lightning.
*Krrrr, Thud!*
At the same time, a spatial ripple occurred a few feet below, and the black phoenix was ejected. The phoenix’s face was filled with panic.
“Destruction Law Eye!” The phoenix cried out in disbelief. Before the black phoenix could properly regain its balance, a chilling sneer that made her hair stand on end echoed, and her head throbbed.
The black phoenix trembled and staggered, almost falling. At that moment, Han Li spat out a small cauldron from his mouth.
*Woong!*
With a clear sound, the cauldron vibrated, and its lid opened, from which a bundle of blue threads shot out. The black phoenix thought the situation was turning strange, but its wings felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and it couldn’t even flap them, getting bound tightly by the blue threads.
Then, Han Li moved like lightning, reaching right next to the black phoenix, and flicked his sleeve. A massive, ink-black hand appeared from his sleeve, grabbing the black phoenix by the neck.
At that time, the black phoenix had somewhat recovered from Han Li’s soul attack and was struggling to break free from the blue threads, burning black flames. The blue threads seemed about to melt in the powerful black flames.
Seeing this, a navy blue light flickered in Han Li’s eyes, and suddenly, golden scales appeared on the pitch-black hand and his cheeks, and he pressed down on the black phoenix’s neck with immense force.
The black phoenix, desperately struggling, suddenly went blind and was on the verge of fainting.
“Hyaap!” Han Li shouted, and the surrounding air resonated. He flapped the wings on his back and fell towards the ground, holding the black phoenix. With his immense strength, the black phoenix had no power to resist.
*Kwakwakwakwang!*
A tremendous roar, as if the ground was splitting, echoed, and a huge pit, a dozen feet wide, was created. A blue light flashed, and Han Li appeared in the sky above the pit, but the black phoenix lay face down in the center of the pit, unable to move.
Although she had the body of a demon, she couldn’t help but lose consciousness from such a massive impact.
‘Hmm.’
Han Li, looking down at the black phoenix, unexpectedly did not send out sword energy to end her life. Instead, he grabbed the air with one hand. Then, a white light flashed from the black phoenix’s body, and the storage treasure, a bracelet-shaped object, was sucked into his hand.
He flicked his other hand, and several talismans flew into the black phoenix’s body. He placed his palm in the air, and a small, pitch-black mountain appeared above the pit, slowly descending.
*Krrrrr.*
The black mountain firmly pressed down on the black phoenix, preventing her from moving. Once pressed down by the Primordial Magnetic Mountain, she wouldn’t be able to escape with her magnetic force.
The reason he spared Xiao Hong’s life was not because she was a woman, but because he didn’t want to become an irreconcilable enemy with a large force like the Seven Great Demon Clans.
“Oh, my!”
A surprised voice was heard from someone fighting elsewhere. Han Li turned his head and met the surprised eyes of his opponent. It was the middle-aged cultivator from the Farmer Clan, who was controlling a black scroll to fight.
At his surprised voice, other Farmer Clan cultivators also looked this way from within the purple poisonous fog.
Han Li was floating unharmed in the air, and Xiao Hong was pinned under a black mountain peak. Although her energy could still be felt faintly, it was still an astonishing sight.
The Farmer Clan cultivator seemed surprised for a moment, but then snorted and reached into his waist, taking out something and throwing it at Han Li. Then, a wailing sound was heard from within the blood-colored pouch, and it flew towards Han Li.
Seeing this, Ye Cho was greatly delighted and opened her mouth, spitting out a blue light like lightning, hitting the blood-colored object.
*Bang!*
*Keehaak!*
The blood-colored object trembled and transformed into a huge demon head, forgetting its original target and turning fiercely towards the woman. Han Li did not miss the opportunity and, with a thunderous sound, transformed into a blue-white lightning and disappeared.
After repeatedly flashing and disappearing several times, he was able to reach the vicinity of the giant blood sword.
The Blood Crystal Great Devil Sword was still vibrating, and a strange blood-colored light was being protected by a white barrier.
Another Farmer Clan cultivator, upon discovering Han Li, frowned and raised a hand, striking the air.
*Whoosh!*
A giant hand appeared, trying to grab Han Li. But Han Li only narrowed his eyes and, without releasing any treasures, unleashed golden light from his entire body and threw both fists.
Just before Han Li’s two fists extended, they each contained a mysterious light of black and white spiritual energy. He was thinking of blocking the giant hand, condensed by a Nascent Soul cultivator’s secret technique, with the power of his enhanced physical body alone.
The Farmer Clan cultivator revealed a look of joy and activated a magic seal, pouring spiritual power into the giant hand without hesitation.
However, the giant hand, which had been falling like a mountain, surprisingly stopped. Not only that, but it also shattered with a clear sound, like pottery breaking, and scattered into the light of spiritual energy.
Han Li’s two fists were shining with golden light and were raised high in the sky, but they were not injured at all. The Farmer Clan cultivator’s face, which had been sneering, changed slightly.
But Han Li did not delay and flicked his sleeve, sending out two silver beads. The beads spun as they flew towards the white barrier of light.
A faint sound of thunder was heard from within the silver light masses. They were the Thunder Pattern Beads he had prepared in advance.
Just as the Thunder Pattern Beads were about to hit the white barrier of light, a ripple occurred in the empty air, and a pitch-black demon’s arm appeared. The silver beads hit the demon’s arm and exploded.
*Kuwang! Kwakwakwang!*
Two explosions and countless silver lightning flashed, instantly sweeping across an area of twenty feet. The white barrier of light, even though it was not directly hit by the Thunder Pattern Beads, shook violently and looked as if it would be torn apart at any moment.
Han Li narrowed his eyes and, before the power of the lightning subsided, flicked his fingers in succession.
*Shushushushuk!*
At the same time, the sound of air being torn apart echoed, and golden sword energies flew densely, tearing through the white barrier of light. The already unstable barrier of light was about to be torn apart by the sharp attacks.
*Keeheek! Kehek!*
But then, a strange wail was heard from within the lightning’s glow, and a dozen black shadows flew towards the sword energies. Suddenly, the sword energies that collided with the shadows lost their golden light and eventually disappeared as if their flames had been extinguished.
As the silver lightning disappeared, a giant demon, a dozen feet tall, revealed itself. The demon had two horns on its head and long, thick steel arms.
Han Li’s heart turned cold as he saw the face of the demon that had appeared.
The demon’s face was flat, without eyes, nose, or mouth. Also, its massive body had hundreds or thousands of holes, and except for its solid arms, there was no part of it that looked intact.
The giant demon blocked Han Li’s Thunder Pattern Beads and sword energies with its body, protecting the barrier of light around the Blood Crystal Great Devil Sword.
*Keehahaak!*
The giant demon raised its head and wailed miserably, and black Yin energy gathered around it, surging. The body, which had been riddled with holes, was healing itself by absorbing the black energy.
“You young brat, you’re getting too arrogant. Here, let the old man show you the taste of the Formless Ghost King, whom I’ve nurtured for a thousand years! The Ghost King’s divine abilities are comparable to mine!”
A voice filled with hostility echoed in Han Li’s ears.
‘Ghost King?’
But Han Li’s lips curled into a strange smile.
“Cultivator Han, you must be careful. The Formless Ghost King is a famous entity even in the Ghost Realm and is comparable to a Nascent Soul level being,” This time, it was the woman’s small voice, Ye Cho, who was fighting against two Farmer Clan cultivators. She had seen Han Li quickly deal with the Black Phoenix Clan woman and felt a glimmer of hope.
At that moment, the Ghost King turned its head towards Han Li. Even though it had no eyes, it seemed to have no problem sensing his location.
*Wheeeeing!*
The Formless Ghost King raised its long arms, and suddenly, a gale began to rage, and pitch-black Yin energies writhed, and ghostly wails echoed. The Formless Ghost King shook its arms at Han Li from within the Yin energy.
Then, the Yin energies in the void trembled violently and gathered into an unimaginable size, creating pitch-black claws. The black claws, which seemed to be over a hundred feet long, slowly approached Han Li.
Han Li was unable to move, as if he was bound by a golden restriction due to the immense pressure. If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would have been unable to move until the moment of their death. But Han Li snorted and rubbed the Spirit Beast Ring with one hand.
*Shuk!*
A black light flew out, circled in the void, and then fell in front of Han Li. It was a small monkey with glossy, pitch-black fur.
The small monkey rolled its eyes, looked at the front, and then puffed out its nostrils, pounding its chest with both fists. Then, a black light covered the entire body of the Soul Devourer, and it instantly transformed into a ferocious monkey monster, thirty feet tall.
The Soul Devourer snorted at the demon’s claws, and a blue energy surged towards the demon’s claws. Then, something unexpected happened.
The demon’s claws had black holes pierced through them the moment they touched the blue energy, and then they split into grains of black Yin energy and scattered. The Formless Ghost King, who had been watching from afar, immediately waved one hand.
*Hwik!*
Five streaks of black light transformed into giant blades and rushed towards the Soul Devourer. The moment the sound of air being torn apart was heard, the five blades were already right in front of the giant monkey’s nose.
*Paat.*
The black streaks of light passed through the Soul Devourer’s body, but surprisingly, they had no effect. The Formless Ghost King froze in shock.
However, the Soul Devourer, regardless of what the opponent did, snorted and released blue energy from its nostrils again. The Yin energies were swept away by the blue energy, turned dark blue, and entered the Soul Devourer’s mouth.
The Soul Devourer, with a satisfied look, turned its gaze and stared intently at the Ghost King.
*Keehak!*
The Formless Ghost King, regaining its senses, became enraged and huffed, and suddenly, ancient armor appeared on the Ghost King’s entire body, and blue flames flowed down its surface. And in its two hands, it held two large hammers made of white bones.
Han Li examined them with his consciousness and found that the white bone hammers were made from the bones of a giant demon, and each was overflowing with yellow wind and black energy. But the Soul Devourer, on the contrary, sparkled its eyes and released two streaks of blue energy from its nostrils again.
*Kukung! Kung!*
The Formless Ghost King swung the two white bone hammers, and black energy erupted, colliding with the Soul Devourer’s blue energy. The Soul Devourer’s Soul-Seizing Divine Light was surprisingly neutralized by the demon’s attack.
Han Li’s expression changed subtly.
*Kuaaaak!*
The Soul Devourer also roared with a cautious face. Then, Yin winds raged around the giant monkey, and countless lightning bolts flashed.
The giant Soul Devourer’s body began to swell again, its fur turning red, and three curved horns sprouted above its head.
The space between its eyebrows bulged, and a blood-red demonic eye appeared. Its face lengthened, its fangs extended outward, and three dark, black thorns, a foot long, rose from its back.
