180: Da Luo Jian Yi

“That powerful?!”

Han Li looked at Ye Qingyun, suspecting he was making up stories.

Ye Qingyun looked at him and nodded: “Fellow Daoist Han, Suspended Mountain is indeed that powerful. The North Continent is the land of the Yao Race.”

Han Li lowered his head in silence.

The power of Suspended Mountain exceeded his imagination.

Four top-tier Primordial Spirit magnates, and dozens of other Demon Emperor grandmasters.

This strength was indeed too formidable.

A single Suspended Mountain alone would be enough to sweep across the Wu Dynasty.

Even the Twelve Sects combined wouldn’t be enough to fight them.

No wonder the Yao Race could dominate the North Continent and reign Supreme.

If a Suspended Mountain in the Dust Domain was already so powerful, then what about the hundreds of other top-tier forces combined, plus the three great Yao Race Holy Lands… Han Li didn’t even dare to imagine how terrifying that would be.

And this was still the fractured Demon Court.

If it were the Primordial Demon Court in its prime, then it truly would have had the strength to sweep across the Great Desolation.

A starved camel is still bigger than a horse!

Even if the Primordial Demon Court had collapsed, its remaining power was still earth-shattering.

“There are so many Supremes in the Yang Realm… and yet the Yin Realm can still attack the Yang Realm. How terrifying must the Yin Realm be?!”

A thought emerged in Han Li’s mind.

The ancient war shattered the Great Desolation, and even now, the remaining power was still immense.

“Fellow Daoist Han, you’re not thinking of taking action against Suspended Mountain, are you?” Ye Qingyun suddenly asked, looking at Han Li.

Han Li snapped back to reality and looked at Ye Qingyun.

“No such thing, I was just asking.”

“Suspended Mountain has vast power, the great Dominator of the Dust Domain. Fellow Daoist Han, although your strength is formidable, don’t blame me for reminding you that Suspended Mountain is not to be offended.” Ye Qingyun’s expression was solemn.

“Haha, Sect Leader Ye, you exaggerate. I am quite aware of my own capabilities,” Han Li chuckled.

Ye Qingyun also relaxed a little.

“Sect Leader Ye, what are your plans next?” Han Li asked, looking at Ye Qingyun.

Ye Qingyun lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said: “Still focus on improving the Sect’s strength, no rush to expand.”

“Fellow Daoist Han, here is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it.”

Ye Qingyun took out a cosmos ring and handed it to Han Li.

Receiving the cosmos ring, Han Li swept it with his Divine Sense and quickly perceived its contents.

A Low Grade Spiritual Vein!

“Many thanks, Sect Leader Ye.” Han Li cupped his hands and didn’t stand on ceremony, directly putting it away.

If he cultivated the Azure Wood Earth Emperor Skill with a Spiritual Vein, his progress would be faster.

“Fellow Daoist Han, what are your plans next?” Ye Qingyun asked, looking at Han Li.

“I’d like to stay in your Sect for a few more days, I wonder if Sect Leader Ye would mind?”

Han Li spoke.

“Haha, Fellow Daoist Han, you jest. You are the savior of my Qingyun Sect, you can stay as long as you wish.” Ye Qingyun laughed heartily.

“Shall I arrange a new place for you, Fellow Daoist?” Ye Qingyun asked, looking at Han Li.

Han Li shook his head: “No need, I’ll stay in my original place, Cultivate in seclusion, and improve my Divine Abilities.”

“Alright, no problem.” Ye Qingyun nodded, then said: “Fellow Daoist Han, if you have any needs, you can speak up, I will do my best to satisfy you.”

“En, many thanks.” Han Li nodded, then they chatted about a few more things. After asking some specific details about Suspended Mountain, Han Li disappeared from the courtyard.

“Suddenly inquiring about Suspended Mountain… could it be related to the two Demon Emperors, Tianqing and Scarlet Blood?”

Looking at Han Li’s disappearing back, Ye Qingyun fell into deep thought.

“That must be the reason… It seems I still can’t relax. I must be careful, if Suspended Mountain finds out, it will be troublesome.”

Ye Qingyun frowned, his figure moved, and he vanished from the spot… “Revered Master, what do you need me for?”

In Liu Qing’s Daoist temple, Ye Qingyun’s figure appeared out of thin air.

Looking at Ye Qingyun, Liu Qing asked.

“Spread a message that I helped Fellow Daoist Han leave the Qingyun Sect.”

Ye Qingyun looked at Liu Qing and said.

Liu Qing: “?”

“Revered Master, I just saw Senior Han, he’s right here in the Daoist temple, and he’s going into seclusion to Cultivate.” Liu Qing said.

“Just do as I say.” Ye Qingyun said.

“…Yes.” Liu Qing nodded, then left the main hall.

Looking at Liu Qing’s departing figure, Ye Qingyun’s eyes flickered, and his figure also disappeared into the main hall… In the small courtyard, inside the quiet room.

Han Li once again summoned the embroidered rivers and mountains map, then stepped into it.

He planned to Cultivate the Great Luo Swordplay to Perfection in one go, directly deriving Divine Abilities.

At that time, his strength would advance even further.

Standing in the Void Realm, Han Li’s thought moved, and the Da Luo Sword Embryo floated above his head.

Divine light shone brightly, and majestic Sword Intent surged.

A Supreme sword embryo condensed from Sword Intent.

Emitting boundless Sword Qi.

Activating the Da Luo Sword Embryo to unleash the Great Luo Swordplay, Han Li was well aware of the terrifying aspects of the Great Luo Swordplay.

Moreover, he hadn’t fully unleashed its power; the Fusion of man and sword, combined with the power of the Da Luo Sword Embryo, that was his ultimate killing move.

Even when facing Demon Emperor Tianqing and the others, Han Li had never used this move.

However, the Supreme sword moves of the Great Luo Swordplay alone were sufficient.

“Deriving Divine Abilities, the power of the Great Luo Swordplay will surely be greatly enhanced.”

Han Li closed his eyes, the Da Luo Sword Embryo disappeared, and boundless Sword Intent emanated from his body, stirring the air.

He couldn’t unleash his full power; otherwise, the embroidered rivers and mountains map wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

However, for cultivation, there was no need to unleash full power.

“Whoosh—!!”

Starlight shone, boundless starlight surged forth, like a vast starry river reflecting the heavens and earth’s Void Realm, every ray of starlight was a manifestation of Sword Qi.

Great Luo Swordplay, All Heavens Star River!

This Divine-Grade sword art encompassed myriad phenomena, not just containing one type of sword move. Each sword move had a unique Sword Dao.

All kinds of Sword Dao, forging the Great Luo!

This was the Profound Truth and essence of the Great Luo Swordplay.

His figure was covered by starlight Sword Qi, and mountains were pierced through and annihilated.

Han Li entered a state of arduous cultivation… Time passed bit by bit, three months, fleeting in an instant.

The Qingyun Sect also returned to peace.

However, the impression Han Li left was deeply etched in the minds of everyone in Qingyun.

With his individual strength, he flattened the entire Northern Prison Sect, and even the Sect Leader died at the hands of this unfathomable Senior.

It was a pity that this Senior had already left.

—

Qingyun Sect, Liu Qing’s Daoist temple. As usual, Liu Qing came to the small courtyard.

She had seen Han Li once three months ago, and since then, Liu Qing would come every few days. However, the small courtyard gate was tightly shut, covered by a Formation. She could only watch from outside the courtyard.

“It seems Senior Han still hasn’t come out of seclusion…”

Gazing at the small courtyard, Liu Qing sighed inwardly, lingered for a while, then she left.

Meanwhile, inside the quiet room of the small courtyard, the embroidered rivers and mountains map floated in mid-air.

Inside the map, Han Li stood in the Void Realm, his entire body emanating an aura of boundless sharpness.

A majestic Sword Intent permeated from his body, piercing the heavens, and even the Void Realm twisted under the Sword Intent.

Suddenly, Han Li opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

With a flash, Han Li disappeared into the Void Realm. The next second, he stepped out of the map and appeared in the quiet room.

After three months of arduous cultivation, Han Li finally completed the last four percent.

The Great Luo Swordplay also entered a new stage.

Deriving Divine Abilities, and within his Dantian, the Da Luo Sword Embryo also underwent a transformation.

Golden light shone brightly, illuminating the Dantian.

The permeating Sword Intent was more than ten times stronger than three months ago.

Within the Da Luo Sword Embryo, a divine sword could be clearly seen condensing.

This was formed by the condensation of the Da Luo Sword Embryo’s Sword Intent.

It seemed to possess the ability to cut down everything.

Han Li’s thought moved, and he opened his panel.

Great Luo Sword Intent [First Stage 1%]

Breaking through to Perfection, Han Li derived the Divine Ability of the Great Luo Swordplay, the Great Luo Sword Intent.

Compared to the Taiqing Sword Intent, even the Taiqing Sword Intent at Perfection could not compare to the Great Luo Sword Intent.

The Great Luo Sword Intent encompassed Divine Abilities condensed from various Sword Daos.

It was not comparable to a single Sword Intent.

With the derived Divine Abilities, he could also unleash even greater power from the Great Luo Swordplay.

“It’s done…”

Looking at the panel, Han Li felt a sense of difficulty.

The Great Luo Swordplay was formidable, but improving it was quite challenging.

It took three months to advance the last four percent.

However, for a Divine-Grade sword art, a higher difficulty coefficient was normal.

With his cultivation Breakthrough, it was also easier for him to comprehend.

But for now, Han Li still had no plans to break through.

The Heavenly Fire Tribulation of the Divine Aperture Realm was also an extreme barrier.

The previous Nine-Nine-Ten Fierce Tribulation almost killed him.

This time, he absolutely had to have full confidence before breaking through.

He would only break through after cultivating the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art to Perfection.

Being a bit more stable was for the best.

After all, this was the Northern Continent Demon Realm, not within his Sect.

The arrival of the Heavenly Fire Tribulation might attract some trouble. If he was too severely injured after the tribulation and was directly ambushed by other Demon Emperors, then falling was a possibility.

He was not so blind as to ignore Demon Emperors.

“It’s about time, it’s also time to leave.” Han Li snapped back to reality, stepped out of the quiet room, and looking at the blazing sun in the sky, his mood also lightened considerably.

Stepping out of the small courtyard, Han Li swept with his Divine Sense and discovered Liu Qing in the Daoist temple courtyard.

With a movement, Han Li vanished into the Void Realm. The next second, he stepped out of thin air and appeared before Liu Qing.

“Senior Han!”

His sudden appearance startled Liu Qing. Upon seeing his true face, Liu Qing hurried forward.

“No need for formalities.” Seeing Liu Qing about to bow, Han Li spoke. An invisible force of heaven and earth enveloped her, preventing Liu Qing from bowing.

“Senior Han, when did you come out of seclusion?” Liu Qing asked, looking at Han Li.

“Just now.” Han Li replied.

“I came to see you to bid farewell. The time is almost up, and it’s time for me to leave.” Han Li said indifferently.

“Senior Han, you… you’re leaving?” Hearing this, Liu Qing was stunned.

“En.”

Han Li nodded, then with a flash of light, a High Grade Spirit Treasure appeared in his hand. At the same time, there were also several small porcelain bottles.

“This Magic Treasure is for you. This Magic Treasure is something I once used, and it will also somewhat enhance your strength. Here are also some Medicinal Pills that can help you with your cultivation Breakthrough.”

Han Li spoke slowly.

Liu Qing snapped back to reality, looking at the High Grade Spirit Treasure and the small porcelain bottles before her.

“Many thanks, Senior Han.” Liu Qing showed joy and accepted the Magic Treasure and Medicinal Pills.

“Your talent is not bad, Cultivate well. When your Opportunity is sufficient in the future, you can also step into the God Realm.” Han Li said, looking at Liu Qing.

"Liu Qing will always remember Senior Han's words and Cultivate diligently." Liu Qing nodded.

"Senior Han, are you... are you really leaving?" Liu Qing looked at him, her eyes showing reluctance.

"This Dominator still has other places to go and things to do," Han Li said indifferently.

"Senior Han, then... then will we be able to meet again?" Liu Qing plucked up her courage and looked at Han Li, asking.

After saying this, her cheeks turned red.

"If fate allows, we will surely meet again." Han Li spoke, and as soon as his voice fell, he transformed into a golden light, tearing through the Void Realm and disappearing.

"Senior Han..." Liu Qing suddenly lost her focus, standing blankly in place... Deep within the Qingyun Sect, on a cliff at the summit of a mountain Peak, Han Li's figure stepped out of the Void Realm.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you've come out of seclusion?!" Looking at Han Li, Ye Qingyun was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered and stepped forward.

"Yes, the Divine Ability has been cultivated, so it's time to come out of seclusion."

Han Li nodded.

"Then congratulations, Fellow Daoist, on the Major Achievement of your Divine Ability! This is truly a joyous occasion!" Ye Qingyun cupped his hands and said with a chuckle.

"Sect Leader Ye, do you have any information on Demon Emperors? Or rather, do you know the location of a Demon Emperor's Immortal Cave? Either is fine."

Han Li looked at Ye Qingyun and asked.

"Demon Emperor information?" Ye Qingyun looked at him.

"Any Demon Emperor information from the Dust Domain will do," Han Li added.

"..."

"Fellow Daoist Han, I only have information on two Demon Emperors here." After a moment of thought, Ye Qingyun spoke.

Immediately, he spread his hand, and a Jade Slip appeared in his palm, which he handed to Han Li.

"Fellow Daoist Han, this contains the Immortal Cave locations of two Demon Emperors."

Han Li looked at the Jade Slip in his hand, his Divine Sense probing it, and information flooded into his mind.

In addition to the specific locations, there was also information on their cultivation levels.

One was a Divine Aperture Realm Demon Emperor, and the other was a Divine Hidden Realm Demon Emperor.

Han Li focused on the information of the Divine Hidden Realm Demon Emperor, who was a Divine Hidden Realm Middle Stage Demon Emperor.

His strength was very powerful.

"Fellow Daoist Han, among these, the Emperor Tianyue is a Demon Emperor from Suspended Mountain." Looking at Han Li, Ye Qingyun reminded him.

"Understood," Han Li nodded.

Ye Qingyun: "..."

You understand... Looking at Han Li's calm expression, Ye Qingyun's heart twitched.

"Fellow Daoist Han, Suspended Mountain..."

"I am aware, thank you, Sect Leader Ye, we shall meet again, farewell!" Before Ye Qingyun could finish speaking, Han Li cupped his hands and spoke directly, and as soon as his voice fell, he immediately transformed into a golden light and disappeared from Ye Qingyun's sight.

"..."

"He wouldn't really challenge Suspended Mountain, would he?!" Ye Qingyun's heart pounded.

Vaguely, he had a bad premonition.

But what Han Li wanted to do was none of his business; all he could do was offer a reminder.

"I hope not..." With a sigh, Ye Qingyun withdrew his gaze.

—

Dust Domain, Jin Yuan Kingdom, deep within the endless mountains, a golden light descended from the sky.

It landed in a valley surrounded by mountains.

His Divine Sense probed the surroundings, perceiving with the power of heaven and earth, and besides the wild beasts in the mountains, Han Li found nothing unusual.

"This is the place..."

Han Li's mind settled, and then several Spirit Flags appeared, inserting themselves into the four corners of the valley.

"Buzz—!"

Light was activated, and an invisible Formation immediately enveloped the valley.

Above the valley, a layer of white mist appeared.

After activating the Formation, Han Li then cast spells to strengthen it.

Upgrading the Heavenly Thunder Swords would cause a considerable stir, so he had to be cautious and conceal the fluctuations of the upgrade.

After casting and arranging dozens of Formations, Han Li finally felt completely at ease.

Finding a spot in the valley, Han Li directly took out the dragon vein celestial gold, enveloping it with Magic Power Divine Fire to smelt it.

The raging Divine Fire burned; his current Magic Power was abundant, hundreds of times stronger than when he first entered the God Realm, and the Magic Power Divine Fire was also more terrifying.

However, melting the dragon vein celestial gold was not something that could be completed in a short time.

In the valley, high temperatures spread.

Under the smelting of the Magic Power Divine Fire, the dragon vein celestial gold emitted a dazzling light, and instead of melting, it grew even stronger.

Han Li was very patient, and the Magic Power Divine Fire continuously smelted it without a moment's pause.

The surrounding space began to distort... Five months passed, and in the valley, after five months of Divine Fire smelting, Han Li finally melted the dragon vein celestial gold, turning it into a golden liquid.

Han Li swallowed Medicinal Pills to recover while summoning the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords.

Although there was only a fist-sized amount of dragon vein celestial gold, it was more than enough to upgrade the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords.

Summoning the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords, Han Li increased the Divine Fire, allowing the dragon vein celestial gold to fuse with them.

At the same time, he cast spells to engrave Formations.

The Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire valley.

Time passed minute by minute.

Sun rose and moon set, and another five months passed.

"Chii—!!"

In the valley, a soaring Sword Qi burst forth, and the purple Sword Qi directly cut through dozens of large Formations, piercing deep into the ten-thousand-zhang sky.

The clouds in the sky were torn apart.

Although Formations had been set up, they still couldn't stop it.

At the moment of success, a majestic Divine Might swept across the mountains and wilderness.

Within a hundred miles, the wild beasts in the mountains felt this vast Divine Might and trembled in fear.

"What powerful Sword Qi, this is the Divine Might of a Medium Grade Dao Artifact!"

"And not just one!"

A hundred miles away, in the Void Realm, on a cloud, a figure's gaze was cast towards the depths of the mountains.

Above the clouds, a Black Shirt Youth looked towards the depths of the mountains. Surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Could someone be refining Dao Artifacts in this godforsaken place?"

"Swish—!"

With a movement, the Black Shirt Youth directly disappeared from his original spot.

The next second, he appeared near the Void Realm where the Sword Qi had erupted.

Looking into the valley, his pupils constricted.

"This is a combination Dao Artifact, and they are all Medium Grade Dao Artifacts!"

The Black Shirt Youth's heart was shaken, and at this moment, in the valley, Han Li suddenly looked up at the Void Realm.

Not far away, a Black Shirt Youth appeared in the Void Realm in his sight.

"Divine Treasury Peak!"

Han Li's pupils constricted as he looked at the Black Shirt Youth in the Void Realm.

"Not Yao Race..."

Looking at the Black Shirt Youth, Han Li couldn't sense any Demonic Qi.

This was a genuine Human Race magnate.

However, the aura on him made Han Li feel apprehensive.

A Divine Treasury Peak existence, with a harmonious aura.

His strength might be even greater.

Their gazes met, and the air seemed to solidify at this moment.

"Retrieve." With a thought, Han Li's Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords directly entered his body.

It was also at this moment that in the Void Realm, the Black Shirt Youth flashed, and the next second, he appeared in the valley.

Looking at the Black Shirt Youth, Han Li's nerves were taut.

Divine Treasury Peak, with the five viscera cultivated, the five great life springs fused, the Wheel Sea opened, and the Heavenly Court established, his strength was still far superior to his current self.

The Black Shirt Youth in front of him was extraordinary, probably even more powerful than ordinary Divine Hidden Realm magnates.

"I am Shen Lang, what do I call you, Fellow Daoist?" the Black Shirt Youth asked.

Han Li still looked at him warily.

"Uh... Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand, I was just passing by and sensed the Dao Artifact fluctuations just now, so I came to take a look," the Black Shirt Youth said again.

"This Fellow Daoist, these Twelve..."

Shen Lang was about to speak, but before he could finish, Han Li directly transformed into a golden light, tearing through the Void Realm and disappearing.

Shen Lang: "..."

"Do I look that scary?" Seeing Han Li run away without a word, Shen Lang touched his nose.

"Alas, what a pity, I still wanted to chat..."

Shen Lang sighed, then his figure also soared into the sky, disappearing from his original spot... In the Jin Yuan Kingdom, on the outskirts of a county town, the Void Realm split open, and Han Li's figure stepped out.

"Shen Lang..."

Looking back at the Void Realm, Han Li's gaze was solemn.

In the Northern Continent Demon Realm, such a powerful Human Race magnate was rare.

"Perhaps he came from another continent as well."

A thought flashed, and Han Li shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind, looking at the distant county town, Han Li strode towards it.

Entering the county town, Han Li casually checked into an inn.

In the room, Han Li closed the door, set up Formations, and then went to sit by the bed.

Sitting by the bed, Han Li inwardly observed his Dantian, where the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords emitted a platinum light.

Divine Might surged, surrounding the Da Luo Sword Embryo.

After fusing the dragon vein celestial gold, it took him a total of ten months to successfully upgrade them.

After fusing the dragon vein celestial gold, the power of the Heavenly Thunder Swords also greatly increased.

Using Materials for supreme sacred weapons just to upgrade them to Medium Grade Dao Artifacts, if this news got out, no one would believe it.

Such a waste of heavenly treasures!

However, Han Li believed it was worth it.

After fusing the dragon vein celestial gold, each Heavenly Thunder Sword was enough to clash head-on with an ordinary High Grade Dao Artifact.

The power unleashed by the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords could even surpass High Grade Dao Artifacts.

The material was different, and with the addition of dragon vein celestial gold, it would be easier to upgrade them in the future.

The power of the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords had increased by at least dozens of times compared to before.

"In a state of Human-Sword Fusion, I estimate I can contend with that Shen Lang..."

Han Li's thoughts emerged.

Looking at the Heavenly Thunder Swords surrounding the Da Luo Sword Embryo in his Dantian, Han Li also showed a look of relief.

The cost was great, but the upgrade of the Heavenly Thunder Swords was also considerable.

Moreover, he would have to seek out more Materials to upgrade the Heavenly Thunder Swords in the future.

Whether he could forge a supreme sacred weapon was a distant prospect, but he was confident in upgrading the Heavenly Thunder Swords to top-grade dao artifacts.

Extraordinary potential!

Coming back to his senses, Han Li closed his eyes again.

In his mind, the information of the two Demon Emperors appeared.

"Tian Dang Mountain..."

Opening his eyes, Han Li determined his first target.

First, eliminate the Divine Aperture Realm Perfection Demon Emperor.

He had absolute confidence in this.

As long as he eliminated this Demon Emperor and cultivated by devouring his life essence blood, he could reach the third stage of the Ten Thousand Tribulations True Devil Art.

By then, he could target the second Divine Hidden Realm Middle Stage Demon Emperor.

Although he knew that Suspended Mountain was powerful, and even backed by the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom of the three great Yao Race Holy Lands, it still couldn't stop him from taking action.

Slaughter was inevitable!
