189: True Magic Aspect Ancient Secret Realm

Sitting cross-legged, Han Li immediately released the sealed blood Qi.

"Dong—!"

The Demonic Seed pulsed once, and blood Qi surged into his body like a torrent.

The Ten Thousand Tribulations True Devil Art circulated, and a purple demonic light bloomed.

The demonic light was faint.

Han Li's Aura also climbed little by little.

Vast True Devil Power surged, and Han Li's Aura was like a turbulent tide.

A wave of Divine Might spread from all around him.

In an instant, his Aura greatly increased.

Only when the last of the blood Qi was completely absorbed did Han Li open his eyes.

Looking at the Golden Ape Demon Emperor's Physical Body, Han Li raised a hand and immediately began to extract the essence blood.

A large mass of essence blood was enveloped by demonic light, emitting a rich life Aura.

Faintly, a miniature Golden Ape phantom could be seen roaring within the essence blood.

After extracting everything, Han Li once again activated the Ten Thousand Tribulations True Devil Art and began to devour the essence blood.

As the essence blood was devoured, a dense demonic light once again bloomed all around Han Li.

The faint demonic light formed a purple eggshell-like cocoon, completely enveloping him.

"Rumble~!!"

Bursts of thunderous sound emanated from within Han Li's body; his flesh, bones, and internal organs all improved simultaneously.

When the last of the essence blood was completely devoured, an extremely powerful Aura erupted from Han Li's Physical Body.

It was as if a demon god had descended, emitting monstrous demonic might.

His Physical Body broke through at that instant, and his True Devil Power instantly increased by more than tenfold.

Every inch of his muscle wriggled, and explosive power flowed through his body.

By devouring the Golden Ape Demon Emperor's essence blood, Han Li completely achieved the final step of advancement.

He stepped into the sixth stage of the True Devil Body.

His Physical Body transformed.

Vast blood Qi surged, and the light of blood Qi that emanated shot up a thousand zhang, shaking the Void Realm.

An invisible ripple spread from his body.

Within his Soul and flesh, his True Devil Mark became even more brilliant.

At the instant of his Physical Body's transformation, his mental Soul also achieved a Breakthrough.

It instantly increased by a full fold.

His mental Soul grew visibly at a speed perceptible to the naked eye.

The True Devil Mark in his Soul erupted with demonic light, and powerful mental fluctuations spread.

And at that instant, Han Li's Divine Treasury of the liver pulsed intensely, as if about to burst through.

His Aura soared.

His Physical Body was lifted by an invisible force, and the demonic light was brilliant, illuminating the world of embroidered rivers and mountains map.

Like a Xiantian Demon God, his black hair flew wildly.

He exuded ultimate demonic might.

—

An incense stick's worth of time passed, and Han Li descended from the Void Realm.

"What a pity, it was still just a little short..."

Han Li sighed. After breaking through to the sixth stage of the True Devil Body, his Divine Treasury of the liver pulsed, and he thought he could break through in one go, but it still didn't go as he wished.

His own accumulation was still a bit lacking.

However, even without cultivating the second Divine Treasury, breaking through to the sixth stage of the True Devil Body greatly increased his strength.

His Physical Body transformed, becoming so powerful that it could withstand attacks from even Dao Artifacts.

Within his bones, the Tribulation Marks also greatly improved, allowing him to withstand more damage and calamities.

With one transformation, his Cultivation remained unchanged, yet he advanced another step.

His power could completely crush those in the Divine Hidden Realm, and he could even contend with those in the Yuanshen Realm.

Even the power of the Ten Primordial Fiends in the Divine Hidden Realm could be utterly dominated.

His Physical Body power was unrivaled in the current era!

With the increase in True Devil Power, his Divine Abilities could also unleash greater power.

However, this was not the biggest change; the biggest change was that he could now activate his True Devil Dharma Form.

Standing in place, feeling the True Devil Power within his body, Han Li's thought erupted.

"Om—!!"

Purple demonic light bloomed, and behind Han Li, a tall phantom immediately appeared.

True Devil Dharma Form!

The hundred-zhang-tall True Devil Dharma Form emitted a vast, sea-like Aura.

As the True Devil Dharma Form manifested and merged into Han Li's Physical Body, his Aura instantly soared.

His robes flapped, and demonic light illuminated all around him.

"Rumble~!!"

Space twisted, and the space around Han Li appeared shattered.

After merging with the True Devil Dharma Form, Han Li's pupils turned a strange purple.

Vast demonic might spread from within his body, a sword cry sounded, and the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords flew out.

"Slay!"

Controlling the Heavenly Thunder Swords with his mind, the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords immediately activated the Great Luo Swordplay and attacked Han Li.

The power unleashed by the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords activating the Great Luo Swordplay was enough to easily kill a Late Stage Divine Hidden Realm Demon Emperor; even a Great Perfection Divine Hidden Realm Demon Emperor would be severely wounded.

The ultimate Sword Qi swept over.

"Cha—!"

Spitting out a single syllable, brilliant demonic light erupted from all around Han Li.

"Clang, clang, clang!!!"

Infinite Sword Qi swept over, but it simply couldn't break through Han Li's defense; under the demonic light, his Divine Might was unparalleled.

"Destroy!"

Raising a hand, infinite power erupted from within Han Li's body, and the myriad torrent-like Sword Qi instantly vanished without a trace.

The surrounding Void Realm completely collapsed, and destructive power raged.

Han Li's Physical Body floated into the air, and he reached out a hand, instantly repairing the shattered Void Realm, stabilizing space.

As the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords returned to his body, the demonic light all around Han Li also dissipated.

The monstrous demonic might vanished, and his unparalleled Aura plummeted.

Landing on the ground, Han Li took a slight breath.

He had just simply tested the True Devil Dharma Form; merging with the True Devil Dharma Form could increase his strength by several times.

It was at least four times, but Han Li had not unleashed his full strength.

If he unleashed everything, it could increase his strength tenfold, and the embroidered rivers and mountains map would instantly collapse and be directly destroyed.

Even a Medium Grade Dao Artifact couldn't withstand it.

"By activating the True Devil Dharma Form, my strength should be able to contend with a top-tier Demon Emperor in the Early Stage Yuanshen Realm."

Han Li exhaled, his eyes bright.

He had always been suppressed by top-tier Demon Emperors; even if he could resist, he would suffer a crushing defeat.

Now, with the True Devil Dharma Form, his increased strength was enough to clash with a top-tier magnate in the Early Stage Yuanshen Realm.

In this vast world, he had finally taken a step towards the Supreme rank.

Although it was only a small step.

But to be able to cross this stage was completely unimaginable.

Let alone an Early Stage Divine Hidden Realm Cultivator, even a Great Perfection Divine Hidden Realm Cultivator couldn't withstand many moves against a Yuanshen Realm Cultivator.

With top-tier talent or powerful Divine Abilities, perhaps one could contend a little.

However, it would only be a little contention.

Even Shen Lang, as the son of the Qiankun Holy Land Sect Leader, possessed powerful Magic Treasures and Divine Abilities, but when faced with a Yuanshen magnate Demon Emperor, he could only flee.

This was the gap.

It wasn't that Shen Lang wasn't strong enough, but after breaking through to the Yuanshen Realm, one condensed Daolines and utilized the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

Although it was only a preliminary use of the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, it was still unparalleled.

Without activating the True Devil Dharma Form, with his current Cultivation strength, Han Li could only barely contend, but he couldn't last too long; after more than ten moves, he would undoubtedly be defeated.

By activating the True Devil Dharma Form, increasing his strength tenfold, he could directly confront a magnate in the Early Stage Yuanshen Realm.

This gap was extraordinary.

However, to defeat them, that was impossible; clashing was already the limit, and it was only limited to clashing.

Contend, clash, defeat, kill!

Of the four stages, even with the True Devil Dharma Form, he could at most reach the second stage.

But even this alone was enough for him to sweep through all Divine Hidden Realm demons and Martial Artists.

However, activating the True Devil Dharma Form also incurred a huge consumption of his own energy.

This depended on how strong his True Devil Body was.

Having cultivated the sixth stage of the True Devil Body, activating the True Devil Dharma Form could still last for a period of time.

If he couldn't win and needed to escape, there wouldn't be too much of a problem.

But this was only the beginning; as his True Devil Body continued to break through, the stronger the True Devil Dharma Form he condensed, the greater the increase in his own strength.

The Ten Thousand Tribulations True Devil Art, this Cultivation Technique that surpassed Divine-Grade Cultivation Techniques, was not merely about improving the Physical Body and mental state; many of its methods he simply hadn't reached yet.

"At least I won't be chased like a dog anymore..."

Han Li looked up at the sky and stepped out of the embroidered rivers and mountains map... The next day, at dawn, Han Li left the desolate mountain temple.

Having cultivated the sixth stage of the True Devil Body, his journey to the North Continent could be considered a Great Perfection.

Too much is as bad as too little; currently, the North Continent was in a state of alarm, with dozens of Demon Emperor magnates having fallen, which was a world-shaking event anywhere.

Han Li was well aware of this; if he continued to act, his danger would increase by several points.

It was time to stop.

Otherwise, if he were tracked down by the three great Yao Race Holy Lands, perhaps only a Supreme Paragon could save him... A month passed, and in the Northern Continent Demon Realm, near the eastern sea border.

Han Li's figure appeared.

Gazing at the endless East Sea, Han Li's eyes shone brightly.

His journey to the Northern Continent Demon Realm was over; his next destination would be the Central Continent.

This continent, known as the Human Race's Supreme continent, was also considered the center of the world.

The Central Continent was also the most stable continent for the Human Race.

The Great Xia Dynasty had established an indestructible Imperial Dynasty, which was unshakable.

This most powerful immortal Imperial Dynasty of the current era had a reputation that spread throughout the world.

Gazing at the East Sea, Han Li revealed his ruyi compass.

The ruyi compass for the East Sea region was also something he had prepared; Han Li had even prepared a ruyi compass for the Central Continent.

Activating the ruyi compass, Han Li checked the route and direction, then put away the ruyi compass and disappeared directly from the seaside... The four sea regions were basically similar in scope.

Han Li didn't know much about the situation in the Eastern Sea region, but he did know some things.

Unlike the situation in the North Sea region, the Yao Race in the Eastern Sea region was not unified, but rather divided among multiple powerful Yao Race forces.

As for the Human Race forces in the East Sea, Han Li was unaware.

To reach the Central Continent, he had to cross the East Sea.

Han Li was also preparing to make a move in the East Sea.

In the East Sea region, there were also many Yao Race members, and there were certainly many Demon Emperor-level existences.

He would take whatever he could get... The scorching sun rose into the sky, and above the white clouds in the East Sea Void Realm, Han Li walked on clouds.

The clear blue sea churned with waves, and everything appeared very quiet and peaceful.

Han Li was also enjoying a rare moment of leisure; within his body, his magical power circulated in a cycle.

He traveled and Cultivated at the same time.

His second Divine Treasury was also almost ready to break through; once he cultivated the second Divine Treasury, he could open the second life spring, and at that time, his strength would advance another level.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Han Li, on the white cloud, opened his eyes and looked towards the vast depths of the sea ahead.

His Divine Sense probed, and battle fluctuations came from a sea area a hundred li away.

Two Human Race Martial Artists were being besieged by a group of demons.

"Sizzle~!"

Han Li moved like a purple lightning bolt, disappearing directly above the white clouds.

The next second, he had crossed a hundred miles and arrived in the Void Realm.

The seawater exploded, sending up waves a hundred feet high, and ripples spread through the Void Realm.

A group of Yao Race was besieging two people.

An old man and a young woman.

One was an old man in a purple Daoist robe, and the other was a young woman.

The old man in the purple Daoist robe had a Cultivation of the Peak of the Acquired Realm, while the young woman only had a Cultivation of the Innate Early Stage.

Among the group of Yao Race, there were two Peak of the Acquired Realm Demon Kings. The old man in the purple Daoist robe fought the two Peak of the Acquired Realm Demon Kings alone, relying on the Medium Grade Spirit Treasure in his hand, but he was still at a disadvantage.

The other young woman was besieged by other Yao Race. An Elementary Demon King led dozens of Yao Race, and she also fell into a disadvantageous position.

The situation was clear at a glance.

Han Li looked at this group of Yao Race, and with a thought, the power of heaven and earth enveloped them.

The Void Realm was directly frozen.

An endless Divine Might spread, as if time and space had been fixed.

With a light flick of his finger, dozens of Yao Race, including the Demon King, were all annihilated.

Blood Qi surged into his body, and the Demonic Seed was sealed. Before the corpses could hit the ground, Han Li directly collected them.

The old man and the young woman looked at Han Li in the Void Realm, feeling his boundless Aura, and their pupils constricted.

"God Realm behemoth!"

Their hearts trembled violently. The old man in the purple Daoist robe immediately recovered and bowed to Han Li: "Thank you, Senior, for your assistance."

As the old man in the purple Daoist robe spoke, the young woman beside him also recovered and followed suit with a bow.

"The sea domain is dangerous, be more careful." Han Li spoke, and as soon as his voice fell, his figure vanished without a trace.

The old man and the young woman looked at this scene, exchanging glances.

"Master, this Senior looks very young, yet his strength is so formidable. He's truly amazing," the young woman said.

"He might be from a major power. Thankfully, he intervened, otherwise, you and I might have been in danger today," the old man in the purple Daoist robe sighed.

"Let's go, be careful, and don't encounter danger again." Recovering, the old man in the purple Daoist robe spoke.

The young woman nodded, and then the two turned into a ray of light and headed towards the distant sea... After a small interlude, Han Li set off again.

An hour later, a huge island appeared in Han Li's sight on the sea.

Spanning a thousand miles, towering mountains stood, and on the island, a city could be seen standing.

This was the first city island Han Li had encountered since entering the East Sea.

"Ruyi Island..."

Han Li took out his ruyi compass to locate it and confirmed the name of the island.

"There's a city, so there must be a power stationed here. Hmm, I'll go take a look and understand the situation."

With his mind set, Han Li then vanished above the clouds. The next second, having crossed a hundred miles, he arrived at Ruyi Island.

The island city stood tall, its city walls, dozens of feet high, gleaming with a metallic luster.

The city was not large, roughly the same size as a county town on land.

Han Li restrained his Aura and entered the city directly through the city gate.

Although the city was not particularly large, it had everything it should, and it was very prosperous, with tall buildings lined up and a considerable flow of people on the streets.

At a glance, among the crowd, there were many Martial Artist, but most were in the Body Tempering and Vein Opening Realm. Xiantian martial artist were not many, only a few were seen.

Han Li entered the city. Just two or three steps in, a slender young man came up to him.

"Friend, is this your first time on Ruyi Island? Do you need me to guide you? I'm familiar with everything on Ruyi Island, and the price is very cheap, just one broken Spirit Stone."

Han Li looked at the thin, dark young man in front of him, whose Aura was only at the Vein Opening Realm Cultivation.

His True Qi was not very abundant, only ordinary.

"Friend, I guarantee you won't be at a disadvantage," the thin, dark man said again, looking at Han Li.

"Broken Spirit Stones, I don't have any," Han Li said indifferently.

Hearing this, the thin, dark young man's face immediately fell.

"Damn it, he looks good, but it turns out he's just pretending..." After muttering to himself, the thin, dark young man turned and left.

Watching the disappearing back of the thin, dark young man, Han Li smiled faintly, shook his head, and then strode into the city.

Passing through the main street, Han Li arrived at a restaurant, ordered a private room, a few small dishes, and sat by the window in the private room, eating.

On the surface, he was enjoying the view, but in reality, Han Li was using his Divine Sense to investigate the situation.

In the restaurant, people of all sorts came and went.

Han Li listened to some conversations, most of which were about things he wasn't interested in.

However, just as he was about to withdraw his Divine Sense, Han Li suddenly felt a jolt.

A conversation in a private room to his east caught his attention.

"Brother Chen, Tianxin Sect is auctioning the ancient mystic key? Is this true or false?"

"Of course it's true, how could it be false? The news has already been released," another voice sounded.

"The auction is in three days, and I expect many people will contend for it."

"Tianxin Sect's brains must have been kicked by a donkey, right? The Ancient Ruins only open once every hundred years, and it's going to open in a month. Why auction the ancient mystic key at this time?"

A questioning voice sounded.

"How would I know? Anyway, that's what I heard. We'll know at the auction in three days."

Another voice sounded.

"But you and I definitely have no chance. The price of this ancient mystic key will definitely be extraordinary."

"That's true, but we can go and take a look. It's not a problem to broaden our horizons."

"Alright, we'll set off after dinner. We should arrive in about two days, so participating in the auction won't be a problem."

"If only I could enter the Ancient Mystic Realm, that would be great."

"Stop dreaming. Without the key, even a God Realm behemoth can't get in..."

---

"Tianxin Sect, Ancient Mystic Realm!"

Han Li twirled the wine glass in his hand and took a sip of wine.

He hadn't expected to inadvertently overhear such news.

This made him feel very surprised.

"Ancient Mystic Realm..."

"It seems this is another Ancient Supreme's ruins."

Han Li looked at the scenery outside the window, a hint of fervent light appearing in the depths of his eyes.

Secret Realm, he liked them.

There were many good things in Secret Realm. Although there would be dangers, this news indeed caught his attention.

He possessed a lot of Spirit Stones, enough to rival a Sect without any problem.

If he could win this ancient mystic key at auction, then he could go and explore this Ancient Mystic Realm.

Han Li had been to many Secret Realm dimensions, and his gains varied.

"It seems my luck is good... I can catch this opportunity."

Taking another sip of wine, Han Li lightly flicked his finger, and an invisible ray of light flew out and disappeared.

"I'll follow the mark later and go ask for clarification." A thought flashed through Han Li's mind, and then he drank his wine and ate his small dishes... An hour later, Han Li got up and left the restaurant.

Stepping out of the restaurant, Han Li headed towards the outside of the city.

With the mark he had left, he wasn't worried about any problems.

Leaving the city, Han Li stepped into the sky, disappearing directly from Ruyi Island...

On the vast sea, a hundred-foot-long Spirit Ship rode the wind and waves, speeding forward.

In the Void Realm, Han Li's figure appeared on a white cloud, standing on the cloud. Sweeping his Divine Sense over the Spirit Ship on the sea, a smile appeared on Han Li's face.

Donning a black hood, the next second, Han Li's figure disappeared directly above the white clouds.

On the hundred-foot-long Spirit Ship, in a spacious room, three people were drinking and chatting.

But suddenly, space in the room twisted, and a figure appeared out of thin air in the room.

A black hood, black clothes, appearing like a ghost in front of the three.

"Who are you, Prodigy!"

The three were startled. A burly man immediately spoke, his Aura instantly erupting.

However, the next second, the big man's expression changed drastically. A vast pressure swept over, and the three of them were instantly unable to move.

"God Realm!!!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure and Aura on them, the three's faces changed wildly.

"This Seat has some questions I want to know. Answer truthfully and you'll be fine, understand?"

A cold voice sounded. The three looked at the black-clad man in the black hood in front of them and nodded with difficulty.

"Senior, whatever you want to know, we will tell you everything we know."

One of them said.

"Very good."

Han Li nodded lightly, and the Aura he emitted instantly retracted.

"This Seat wants to know about the Ancient Mystic Realm. Tell me everything you know. If this Seat hears anything incorrect, then you should know the consequences."

"Ancient Mystic Realm!"

The three exchanged glances.

One of them said: "Senior, the Ancient Mystic Realm is an ancient Secret Realm. Legend has it that it is a Secret Realm dimension opened by a Supreme Paragon, containing Treasure Trove left behind by the Supreme Paragon. The Ancient Mystic Realm only opens once every hundred years, and to enter this Ancient Mystic Realm, one must have the ancient mystic key."

"Continue," Han Li said indifferently, his expression unchanged.

The young man nodded with difficulty, swallowed, and continued: "There are many ancient mystic key, tens of thousands of them, but they are all scattered. Each time after entering the Ancient Mystic Realm, when the month-long period of the Ancient Mystic Realm ends, one will be automatically forced out of the Ancient Mystic Realm, and the ancient mystic key on their person will also disappear, appearing in different places. The next time the Secret Realm opens, only those holding an ancient mystic key can enter when the Ancient Mystic Realm opens."

"So that's it..."

Han Li nodded, and his mind became clear.

It was not uncommon for an Ancient Ruins Secret Realm dimension created by a Supreme Paragon to have strange rules.

For example, the former Baoyue Country ruins, where one couldn't use foul language—such oddities existed. So, needing a mystic key to enter the Secret Realm was not so strange after all.
