150: One arrow to kill the immortal
"Huh?"
"Those two guys are here too!"
Just as Han Li was about to enter the city under the cover of night, he suddenly looked in a distant direction.
In the darkness, his Mental Energy sensed two figures.
It was the two from Questioning Dao Sect.
"Forget it, if they're here, they're here."
Withdrawing his Mental Energy, Han Li didn't pay much attention. His figure moved, heading directly towards the city.
These two people didn't have much impact on him.
If he were targeted by some top-tier demon, he could only blame bad luck...
The night was like a deep abyss, devouring the world.
In an instant, Han Li scaled the ten-zhang-high city wall, entering the city silently.
Upon entering Lion Camel City, Han Li saw demons everywhere on the streets.
Hardly any Human Race figures were visible.
They were all demons.
All kinds of demons were commonplace here.
This scene looked quite eerie. It was likely that only Pu Tuo Country in the entire Southern Continent had such a phenomenon.
Entering the city, Han Li did not use his Divine Sense to probe. In such a large Lion Camel City, he couldn't be sure if a Demon Emperor existed.
He couldn't gamble.
His main goal was to Cultivate the Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol by eliminating some Demon Kings under the cover of night...
In the dark alley, Han Li moved like a ghost.
Passing through the alley, Han Li leaped onto a roof, his gaze fixed forward. In the area ahead, he sensed Human Race Qi.
And quite a lot of it.
At least tens of thousands of people.
However, this area was enclosed by high walls, with a total of eight entrances. Each entrance was guarded by four demons, and there were many other demons around.
It could be said that this area was tightly sealed off.
From the roof beam, Han Li could roughly see some of the situation inside. Many people lived in the area, countless Human Race members active and surviving within this section.
Their living quarters were extremely rudimentary, and there were also demon figures within the area.
They were responsible for order and some simple food.
The food looked no different from pig slop.
Han Li roughly understood: this should be a group of Human Race members kept by the demons in Lion Camel City.
They were raised like pigs, to be slaughtered and eaten when needed.
These people were disheveled, their eyes devoid of any light, like walking corpses.
Han Li had seen many instances of demons eating Human Race members, but this was the first time he had seen them being raised by demons.
The Human Race here had no status whatsoever.
Standing on the roof beam, Han Li glanced, then disappeared into the night.
—
Shuttling through several areas of Lion Camel City, Han Li also encountered Human Race members being kept in other areas.
Adding them up, there were tens of thousands.
These demons also understood the principle of not draining the pond to catch all the fish; they wouldn't eat them all at once, but rather breed a batch and eat a batch.
Although Han Li saw several areas with Human Race members being kept, he did not make a move.
He certainly couldn't save them.
At least not now.
"Whoosh—!"
In the darkness of night, Han Li arrived at a courtyard.
From the Demonic Qi he sensed, there was a Demon King-level existence within this courtyard.
A Peak Demon King.
Besides the Demon King, there were also over a dozen subordinate demons scattered throughout the courtyard.
Dressed in a black robe with a black hood, Han Li was completely hidden in the night.
With the Heaven Concealing Secret Technique concealing his aura, even a God Realm expert wouldn't discover him as long as he remained still.
"One Peak Demon King, seventeen Peak demon-level creatures. No big problem."
After counting the number of demons, Han Li closed his eyes. His Soul and Mental Energy stirred, activating Celestial God Pierce, silently rushing to various parts of the courtyard.
Silent slaughter, harvesting Souls.
Seventeen minor demons were instantly killed by Han Li.
His gaze then fell upon the last Demon King.
"Buzz—!"
Vast Mental Energy gathered, condensing into the strongest Celestial God Pierce.
It pierced the air silently, and blood Qi drifted from the room, flowing into his body.
Instant kill.
With his current Soul and Mental Energy, activating Celestial God Pierce, even an Peak of the Acquired Realm Demon King couldn't withstand his Soul attack.
After he was done, Han Li once again disappeared into the night...
An hour passed.
The night deepened.
In Lion Camel City, Han Li's figure appeared in a dark alley.
"Fifteen Peak of the Acquired Realm Demon Kings."
Han Li kept track of each one he killed.
He had killed a total of fifteen Peak Demon Kings, about twenty Intermediate Demon Kings and Elementary Demon Kings, and several hundred minor demons.
"That should be enough, but I'll do one last big job."
In the darkness of night, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Han Li's mouth.
The next second, his figure vanished into the dark alley.
—
Outside Lion Camel City, in the wilderness, two people were hidden in the bushes, looking at Lion Camel City. They were precisely Bai Xiaoqian and Su Ning.
"Who!"
Suddenly, one of them spoke, instantly becoming alert.
The other also tensed up.
"It's me," a faint voice replied.
In the darkness of night, a young man in black with a black hood appeared.
He removed his hood, revealing a face.
"Daoist Li."
Seeing the face, Su Ning let out a sigh of relief.
"Fellow Daoists, a major event may occur next. I'm giving you a heads-up. You have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to leave here quickly, otherwise, disaster may befall you."
Han Li said lightly.
"Daoist Li, what... what do you mean by that?" The two were startled, looking at Han Li.
"Just a reminder, it's best to leave. Otherwise, if you lose your lives, don't blame me for not telling you," Han Li said. As soon as his voice fell, his figure disappeared.
"..."
"Senior Brother, what does he mean? He didn't explain clearly." Bai Xiaoqian was confused.
Su Ning frowned, then suddenly looked towards Lion Camel City in the distance.
Coming back to his senses, he quickly pulled Bai Xiaoqian's hand, True Qi erupting, and left the spot.
Bai Xiaoqian was a bit dazed.
"Don't talk, just go quickly." Su Ning didn't give her a chance to speak, saying again.
Bai Xiaoqian: "..."
—
"They have some sense after all..."
In the dark night, on the hillside, Han Li watched the two figures disappear into the distance, his gaze calm.
Immediately, he retracted his gaze, and a golden bow appeared in his palm.
Zhuxian Bow!
He was preparing for a big job.
That was to use the Zhuxian Bow to deliver a heavy blow to the tens of thousands of demons in Lion Camel City.
Kill as many as he could, then run immediately after one arrow.
Whether there was a Demon Emperor or not, he would run.
Looking at the Zhuxian Bow in his hand, Han Li took a deep breath. He didn't draw the bow immediately, first giving the two from Questioning Dao Sect the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to get further away.
Of course, if they were curious and didn't leave, then there was nothing he could do. Giving a reminder was already doing his utmost...
The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passed.
Lion Camel Ridge, outer perimeter, on a hillside, a white light flashed, and two figures appeared on the hillside.
"Senior Brother, why did we have to run?" Bai Xiaoqian asked.
"This person is likely to cause a huge commotion. If we don't run, you and I might end up as collateral damage later."
Su Ning said, catching his breath.
"A huge commotion? Does he dare to directly confront the demons of Lion Camel City?!" Bai Xiaoqian's pupils contracted.
"I don't know, but running further away is safer," Su Ning shook his head.
"This is going to be a big scene!" Bai Xiaoqian looked towards Lion Camel City.
Su Ning: "..."
—
"Alright."
Feeling that the time was right, Han Li immediately drew the Zhuxian Bow.
Within his body, endless True Qi gathered, and as he continuously drew the bow, a terrifying aura permeated out.
This was Han Li's first time using a Dao Artifact to kill an enemy.
All the True Qi in his body surged into the Zhuxian Bow.
The golden Zhuxian Bow also lit up with luminous patterns.
A golden arrow condensed.
One breath.
Two breaths...
After a hundred breaths, Han Li felt he had reached the absolute Peak of his explosive power.
At this moment, the golden arrow emitted an aura of destruction.
"Swoosh—!"
Finally, Han Li released his grip. The Supreme arrow tore through the darkness, locking onto the area of Lion Camel City with the most demons.
One arrow of Zhuxian.
The arrow shot out, shattering the Void Realm.
It was like a golden meteor.
Time seemed to stand still.
When this destructive arrow shot into Lion Camel City, an earth-shattering explosion rang out.
"Boom—!"
Within Lion Camel City, a destructive light wave visibly spread.
This arrow shook the eight hundred li of Lion Camel Ridge.
The Supreme arrow was like a meteorite crashing into Lion Camel City.
The ten-zhang-high city wall was destroyed on the spot. The destructive fluctuations swept through, and some demons and Demon Kings were instantly annihilated, completely shredded by the fluctuations.
This arrow instantly shattered the tranquility of Lion Camel City.
—
"What the, what kind of commotion is this!"
Having just left Lion Camel Ridge and caught their breath, Su Ning and Bai Xiaoqian's pupils contracted as they looked towards Lion Camel City in the Void Realm.
Golden light waves soared into the sky, clearly visible even from hundreds of li away.
The entire Lion Camel Ridge trembled, feeling like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.
Even though they had escaped Lion Camel Ridge, they could still feel a faint airflow permeating towards them.
If it was like this hundreds of li away, what kind of destructive scene would it be at the epicenter?!
"Run!"
At this moment, Su Ning no longer cared about recovering his breath. He activated his True Qi and quickly sped away.
And Bai Xiaoqian also knew what consequences this commotion would bring, so she immediately fled...
Lion Camel City, more than half of the city, was directly destroyed by one arrow. The number of dead demons was countless.
Destructive aura permeated, and the surviving demons vomited blood one by one.
Fear was clearly visible on the faces of the demons.
Even Demon Kings were no exception.
What kind of arrow was that?!
Many demons only saw an apocalypse-ending arrow, and then... then they died.
Annihilated.
At the epicenter, an enormous hole over a thousand zhang deep was left. Destructive aura permeated, and all surrounding buildings were utterly destroyed.
This arrow killed the demons in more than half of the city.
And at this moment, in the outskirts, Han Li's figure had long vanished without a trace.
After firing an arrow, regardless of the outcome, he had to run.
If there was no Demon Emperor, even better. If there was a Demon Emperor, running early would prevent him from being so disheveled...
Under the cover of night, Lion Camel Ridge suddenly suffered a catastrophe.
Tens of thousands of demons perished overnight.
—
Meanwhile, in the capital city of Pu Tuo Country, this place had also become a land of demons.
The former royal palace had become the sleeping quarters of demons.
And in the depths of the royal palace, in a grand hall, three figures were drinking and making merry.
One lion, one elephant, one eagle!
The three figures were a red-haired lion demon, a green-faced elephant demon, and a black-haired eagle demon, respectively.
They retained their human-like bodies with their original heads, and the aura emanating from them clearly indicated they were three terrifying Demon Emperor-level existences.
"Not good!"
Suddenly, the green-faced Elephant Demon Emperor "whooshed" to his feet, his gaze fixed on the Void Realm outside the hall.
"Second Brother, what's wrong?" The black-haired Eagle Demon Emperor said indifferently.
“Lion Camel City was attacked. Half of the subordinates in the city are dead,” the Green-Faced Elephant Demon Emperor said with a grim expression.
“What?”
Hearing this, the other two Demon Emperors immediately stood up.
“Buzz—!”
With a flash of light, the three Demon Emperors instantly vanished from the main hall.
In less than a moment, the figures of the three Demon Emperors appeared above Lion Camel City.
Standing in the Void Realm, looking at the half-destroyed Lion Camel City, the three Demon Emperors’ gazes were extremely cold.
“The aura of a Dao Artifact, and such power, it must be a human powerhouse who took action here,” the Green-Faced Elephant Demon Emperor said in a deep voice, looking at Lion Camel City.
“If it’s not from Baoyue Country, then it’s from the Heavenly Dynasty or Wulong Country…” the Red-Maned Lion Emperor said in a deep voice.
“No, we have an agreement of non-aggression. It shouldn’t be them,” the Black-Furred Eagle Emperor shook his head and said.
“Big Brother, humans are all treacherous. How can we trust them!” the Green-Faced Elephant Emperor roared angrily.
“Right, those old Human Race fellows are all insidious and cunning; they cannot be trusted,” the Red-Maned Lion Emperor nodded.
“That’s true, but do we have proof? Without proof, what can we do? We are currently outnumbered. If we attack other places, then Baoyue Country, the Heavenly Dynasty, and Wulong Country are not to be trifled with,” the Black-Furred Eagle Emperor said calmly.
“Then what should we do? Just let them die in vain?” the Green-Faced Elephant Emperor clenched his fists.
“For now, do not act rashly. Investigate the situation first. A direct war is not beneficial to us. The Southern Continent is not our race’s territory after all, and there are many Human Race experts. Let’s wait for a while. I will contact the powerhouses from other regions. If it truly was these three parties, then this Emperor will make them pay with blood!” the Black-Furred Eagle Emperor said in a deep voice.
“…Then we’ll listen to Big Brother,” the Green-Faced Elephant Emperor and the Red-Maned Lion Emperor nodded.
“It shouldn’t have happened too long ago. I’ll go check the surroundings. You two handle the situation here!” the Black-Furred Eagle Emperor said.
“Alright.”
The two Emperors nodded and then vanished into the night sky.
“Buzz—!”
With a flash of faint light, the Black-Furred Eagle Emperor instantly transformed into his true form, a hundred-zhang body, covering the sky and sun.
With a flap of his wings, he disappeared into the night… “One hundred and eight thousand li, I’ve reached the border of Pu Tuo Country. That should be enough.”
In a quiet small town in Pu Tuo Country, Han Li’s figure appeared.
After firing the arrow at Lion Camel City, he immediately fled.
The power of that arrow was somewhat beyond Han Li’s expectations.
The blood Qi he obtained was also quite astonishing.
“Hmm?”
“Why do I feel a sense of unease?”
Suddenly, Han Li frowned. A premonition. Having Cultivated to his stage, a premonition would not come without reason.
Without hesitation, Han Li flashed into a nearby abandoned house, unleashing the Heaven Concealing Secret Technique to fully conceal his aura.
It was at this moment that a huge black shadow flashed across the sky above the small town.
A large black roc.
Its black wings gleamed darkly.
It was a hundred zhang tall.
Seeing a corner through the broken window, Han Li’s heart stirred.
“A Demon Emperor… Good thing I ran fast.”
Han Li’s heart tensed.
He concealed his aura, not moving an inch.
This small town also had people living in it.
As long as he didn’t make any commotion, there shouldn’t be a problem.
The black roc flashed through the night sky and soon disappeared without a trace.
But Han Li still dared not relax even a little.
He concealed himself to the utmost.
When dawn broke, the silent town also regained its lively vitality.
It wasn’t until noon that Han Li walked out of the dilapidated house.
Looking at the clear sky, Han Li fell into thought.
Was the Demon Emperor from last night just passing by by chance?
That’s unlikely.
After firing the arrow, Han Li left immediately, so he wasn’t too clear about what happened afterward.
However, judging from the massive amount of blood Qi he harvested, he must have killed quite a few demons.
If it wasn’t a Demon Emperor from Lion Camel Ridge, then it might be a Demon Emperor from the royal city of Pu Tuo Country.
It wasn’t too surprising that they reacted quickly. The demons in Lion Camel City definitely weren’t all dead.
Sending a message would inevitably lead to a reaction, and then the Demon Emperor would track him.
However, with the time difference, he had already reached the border.
The possibility of being tracked was not high.
However, to be safe, Han Li did not leave the small town but stayed for two more days. When he felt it was about time, he stepped out of the small town… Wulong Country.
This was a kingdom adjacent to Pu Tuo Country, and its territory was roughly the same size as Baoyue Country.
Once he left the borders of Pu Tuo Country, everything returned to normal.
Arriving at a county town in Wulong Country, Han Li randomly found an inn to stay in.
“Buzz—!”
Activating his True Qi, he sealed the inn room, forming a Formation. After confirming there were no issues, Han Li waved his hand and brought out the Silver Armor Puppet. Then, he sat cross-legged on the bed and released the sealed blood Qi.
“Boom—!”
Inside his body, a thunderous sound echoed, shaking like rolling heavenly thunder.
The powerful light of vital Qi illuminated the entire room, but with the Formation blocking it, everything was suppressed.
The Dragon Elephant roared, and behind him, a clear Ancient Dragon Elephant materialized.
Overwhelming fierce might permeated the room.
Within his flesh and blood, the Dragon Elephant roared.
As one Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo after another broke through, Han Li’s aura also surged like a tide.
Purple light shone.
Under the infusion of massive blood Qi, his strength increased at a visible rate.
As new Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos were formed, Han Li’s power also rapidly increased.
The flesh and blood of his body, his five internal organs, and six viscera were also constantly strengthening.
“Roar—!”
Roars continuously came, and above Han Li’s head, a purple-gold rune appeared.
Within the purple-gold rune, the faint silhouette of a delicate and exquisite Ancient Dragon Elephant could be seen materializing.
And at the moment the purple-gold rune successfully condensed, Han Li’s aura instantly surged several times over.
On his skin, even purple-gold rune light appeared.
The vital Qi within his body became even stronger.
His vital Qi was like a vast river, endless.
The light of vital Qi he emitted truly reached a level comparable to the great sun.
Thunderous roars continued to come. Han Li closed his eyes, unmoving.
After a long time, he finally opened his eyes.
Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art (Unity of Heaven and Man 49%)
Looking at the panel before him, Han Li’s eyes flashed.
The blood Qi brought by that single arrow shot was beyond imagination.
His Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo Cultivated to four hundred and forty.
Among them, the Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo also Cultivated to one hundred and fifty.
He increased his Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo by one hundred and his Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo by forty.
However, the biggest improvement was that he condensed a Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol.
It instantly increased his strength by ten million jun.
The Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol does not require Cultivation. Its foundation is that when the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo and Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo reach a sufficient stage, it can be condensed into a Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol with endless Dragon Elephant power.
His strength also instantly surged by nearly a factor of two, breaking through thirty million jun of power, reaching thirty-one million jun of power.
Thirty-one million jun of power is equivalent to seven hundred and seventy-five thousand ding of power.
Just condensing one Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol is a Breakthrough in itself.
“If I condense another Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol, my strength can rival a Divine Aperture powerhouse.”
Standing up, Han Li looked out the window.
The gap between Innate and God Realm is a huge chasm.
Even if his strength completely crushed the Peak of the Acquired Realm, surpassing it by ten or even a hundred times, he would still be no match for the God Realm.
The God Realm communicates with the power of heaven and earth. Any martial arts, no matter how ordinary, when activated by the magical power of the God Realm, will unleash destructive power.
Just like that arrow shot at Lion Camel City, it was an arrow condensed with his full strength. But for a God Realm powerhouse, any casual arrow could achieve such power.
The God Realm, after crossing the Heavenly Tribulation, will undergo a fundamental transformation, opening the secret apertures of the human body, communicating with the power of heaven and earth, and the True Qi in the body will completely transform into magical power.
This is the difference!
“I’m afraid it’s not that easy…”
Looking out the window, Han Li came back to his senses.
He has only condensed the first Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol so far.
He Cultivated four hundred and forty Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryos, of which one hundred and fifty were Dragon Elephant Divine Embryos, before condensing the first Dragon Elephant Divine Symbol.
To successfully condense another, he would need at least twice that amount. Just to condense one Dragon Elephant Divine Embryo, he would need to at least take down an Peak of the Acquired Realm Demon King.
If not for the special circumstances of the Rakshasa Ruins and Pu Tuo Country, he would not have reached his current level.
“Proceed step by step, no rush!”
His Cultivation time was only a few years, yet he had already reached a level that other Martial Artists would find difficult to achieve in a lifetime.
At that time, he also had top-grade talent, but now, he is the only one who has been able to Cultivate to his current level.
The other few, perhaps they have already Broken Through to Innate, but the gap is already very large.
Having consumed the Phoenix Golden Lotus, Han Li now possessed ten thousand years of Lifespan, so he was not in a hurry.
Following his own pace, step by step, was the best approach.
His steps needed to be steady; if they were too big, he might stumble… —
“Wulong Country…”
Taking out his ruyi compass, Han Li first checked his current location.
“According to the current route, I need to cross Wulong Country and Yue Country to reach the barbarian territory…”
Having determined the route, Han Li then looked at the lines on the map.
“The Ten Thousand Mountains of Southern Border… This place probably requires passing through several barbarian tribes… I hope everything goes smoothly.”
Putting away the map, Han Li returned to the bed and continued to Cultivate.
As night fell, Han Li also strolled around this small county town.
Although it wasn’t too prosperous, compared to Pu Tuo Country, it was significantly better.
Although there were also demons within Wulong Country, having seen the demon city in Pu Tuo Country, this place was already very good.
At the very least, Wulong Country could still prevent its citizens from being brutally massacred by demons.
“One Southern Continent is already like this, I really don’t know what the legendary Northern Continent Demon Realm will be like…”
In the inn room, Han Li stood by the window, gazing at the starlight.
The Northern Continent Demon Realm and the Central Earth Holy Land formed two extremes.
One was a place of absolute Human Race rule, where the Human Dao flourished, and the Human Race was the absolute Supreme.
The other, however, was a place ruled by the Yao Race, a demon world!
“Once this matter is settled, I can visit these two places…” Han Li murmured.
Twelve thousand, seeking support!!
