197: Head-to-head confrontation with Tianyin, the seventh level of true demon
Man and Sword as One!
Han Li did not underestimate him; a Primordial Spirit Clone's strength was also extremely terrifying.
"Slash!"
Transforming into a heaven-shaking Divine Sword, Han Li directly unleashed his strongest Swordplay.
With one sword strike, heaven and earth changed color.
Great Luo Swordplay: Starry Sky Slash!
In an instant, his attack and the Primordial Spirit Clone's attack collided.
Tearing heaven and rending earth.
Sword Qi was like world-destroying immortal light, destroying everything.
With one clash, space and time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The destructive Aura that erupted instantly annihilated mountains, and a thousand li sank.
Xing Jiansheng's expression changed drastically; although there was a Primordial Spirit Clone to block, the erupting Sword Qi still made him feel boundless terror.
Starlight shone, and without hesitation, Xing Jiansheng revealed a shield.
"Boom—!!!"
Like the ultimate light produced by a exploding star, it destroyed everything.
Within a thousand li, there was no intact place.
Space collapsed, and violent turbulence swallowed everything like a flood.
"Pfft—!"
Activating the Dao Artifact shield, Xing Jiansheng also suffered severe injuries, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and the Divine Light in his eyes dimmed by three points.
His figure was sent flying dozens of li, like a meteor piercing the Void Realm.
Stopping his steps, the Qi and blood in his body churned, and clear sword marks appeared on the Dao Artifact shield in front of him, shocking to behold.
Standing in the Void Realm, suppressing the churning Qi and blood, Xing Jiansheng's gaze looked towards the central area of the battle, and his pupils suddenly constricted.
His father's Primordial Spirit Clone was actually unable to block it and was directly killed by a single sword strike.
At this moment, Xing Jiansheng thoroughly smelled the Aura of death.
The heaven-shaking Divine Sword dissipated, and the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords encircled Han Li, whose Aura was also somewhat shaken.
In the state of Man and Sword as One, he successfully killed a Primordial Spirit Realm Clone.
The Qi and blood in his body trembled, and cracks appeared in his internal organs, but relying on his True Devil Body, Han Li successfully withstood this immense damage.
In an instant, he recovered seventy to eighty percent.
Looking at Xing Jiansheng, the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords around Han Li erupted with thunderous Sword Qi.
The Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords vibrated, and seeing this scene, a trace of fear appeared in Xing Jiansheng's pupils.
Run!
Without hesitation, Xing Jiansheng immediately turned around.
A sharp glint flashed in Han Li's eyes, and the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords fused, transforming into a supreme sword, activating the Great Luo Swordplay, and directly slashing out.
"Chii! !"
The just-healed Void Realm was once again cut open, a supreme sword, containing infinite power.
"Om—!!"
Perceiving the terror of this sword, Xing Jiansheng, while fleeing, activated his Dao Artifact shield without hesitation.
"Boom—!!!"
The sword struck the High Grade Dao Artifact shield, unleashing a destructive shockwave.
The Dao Artifact shield let out a mournful cry, and deep cracks appeared on it.
Relying on the resistance of this High Grade Dao Artifact shield, Xing Jiansheng seized the opportunity to escape, moving at extreme speed.
Like a brilliant starlight, he escaped into the depths of the Void Realm.
"Zzz!"
Kun Peng Wings manifested behind Han Li, and with a flap, he instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from his original spot.
The next moment, he descended upon the shattered Void Realm, directly intercepting Xing Jiansheng.
Han Li appeared out of thin air, and his expression suddenly changed.
This speed was beyond imagination.
A hint of despair enveloped his heart.
"Slay the Heavens!"
Activating the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords, Han Li once again unleashed the Great Luo Swordplay, activating the Da Luo Sword Embryo, with the Great Luo Sword Intent augmenting it, and slashed out with one sword.
"Path of the Stars"
Under the pressure of death, Xing Jiansheng immediately unleashed his strongest Divine Ability.
An extreme burst of starlight directly collided with Han Li's supreme sword.
"Boom!!!"
Space collapsed, and a destructive storm raged. The instant of the collision, Xing Jiansheng spat out blood, his supreme Divine Ability shattered, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and his Aura plummeted.
"Chii—!"
Before he could even catch his breath, a Divine Sword streaked across, sword light flashed, a head flew up, and blood gushed out.
Life force severed, essence, Qi, and spirit extinguished, completely fallen.
"Om—!"
Han Li waved his hand, directly collecting Xing Jiansheng's corpse.
At that very instant, in the depths of the Eastern Sea, on a massive island heavenly palace, a powerful Heavenly Might spread out from within the heavenly palace.
Suddenly, the clear skies above the sea were directly covered by dark clouds, and the Winds Arise, Clouds Surge.
Rolling thunder rumbled, the heavenly palace exploded, and a star-robed figure stepped out from within.
His Aura swept across the ten-thousand-li island, like a Heavenly God descending, and the entire island was enveloped by boundless Aura.
The star-robed middle-aged man's eyes were blood-red, and his star-robe trembled, flapping loudly.
The thunder in the sky exploded, seemingly representing his current rage.
"Dare to kill my son? Even the King of Heaven must die!"
A furious roar echoed through the sky, shaking the ten-thousand-li Void Realm, boundless Aura swept forth, Winds Arise, Clouds Surge, and heaven and earth changed color.
In an instant, countless people on the island looked towards the star-robed figure in the Void Realm.
His monstrous Aura swept forth, like a Heavenly God descending.
Under the powerful Aura's pressure, it felt as if one's Soul would suffocate.
Aura's pressure, bending grass and trees!
The next moment, the star-robed middle-aged man's figure directly disappeared into the Void Realm... "Hmm?"
Collecting Xing Jiansheng's corpse, Han Li suddenly felt an extreme chill rise from his heart.
Standing in the destroyed Void Realm, Han Li suddenly looked up into the distance.
"He dares to kill Xing Kongtian's son? Tsk tsk, quite courageous."
A hoarse voice entered Han Li's ears.
Han Li immediately tensed his nerves and looked into the depths of the Void Realm.
A black-robed figure appeared in his sight.
"Lord Tianyin!"
Looking at the black-robed figure, Han Li's pupils constricted.
The figure stepped out, and the surrounding shattered Void Realm seemed to freeze, suppressed by a terrifying Aura.
"You killed Xing Kongtian's son. Do you know that you have courted death!"
Lord Tianyin looked at Han Li, his voice sounding.
Han Li's heart sank, his gaze solemn.
Lord Tianyin witnessed him killing Xing Jiansheng; this trouble was not small.
To kill a Primordial Spirit magnate, with his current Cultivation and strength, it was basically impossible.
Even if he broke through the seventh stage of the True Devil Body, the possibility was very small.
The gap was too large.
If the news spread, then without a doubt, he would definitely be hunted by the Spirit God Sect, and even very likely face Xing Kongtian's personal pursuit.
One of the three major overlords of the Eastern Sea, a top-tier Human Race force, its strength was absolutely not to be underestimated.
Xing Kongtian's Cultivation was not just at the Early Stage of the Primordial Spirit, it was very likely to have reached the Middle Stage, or even the Late Stage of the Primordial Spirit.
Thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and Han Li's mind trembled.
The chill just now was probably not from this Lord Tianyin, but from Xing Kongtian outside.
Unless he had the strength to kill Lord Tianyin as well, this news would definitely reach Xing Kongtian's ears, and stepping out of the Ancient Mystic Realm, what awaited him would probably be Xing Kongtian's pursuit.
However, Han Li had no regrets about killing Xing Jiansheng.
It was just unlucky that Lord Tianyin saw it.
"Han Li, you probably don't know Xing Kongtian's strength, do you? Let me tell you, Xing Kongtian's Cultivation has already reached the Late Yuanshen Stage. Even I am inferior to him. If Xing Kongtian knew you killed his beloved son, do you think you would still have a chance to live?"
Lord Tianyin's voice sounded again.
"What do you mean by that?" Han Li narrowed his eyes, looking at Lord Tianyin.
"Haha, you are a smart person. Cultivating to this extent, you probably don't want to die so easily, do you?" Lord Tianyin laughed loudly.
"I don't understand. Please explain more clearly." Han Li said coldly.
"I recorded the scene just now with a recording stone. As long as I hand this recording stone to the Spirit God Sect, you definitely won't have a chance to leave the Eastern Sea. However, I am kind-hearted and cherish talent, so I can give you a chance now." Lord Tianyin said with a smile, looking at him.
"Give me a chance?" Han Li's eyes flashed, looking at Lord Tianyin.
"That's right, give you a chance to save your life." Lord Tianyin nodded.
"Then I shall listen attentively." Han Li said indifferently.
"I see that your Magic Treasure is good. If you give this set of Magic Treasures to me, and then hand over your other treasures, cosmos ring, and the things on Xing Jiansheng, and then willingly allow me to plant a blood seed in you and become my subordinate, I can keep your secret, and no second person in the world will ever know about this matter."
Lord Tianyin said indifferently.
"Oh?"
"Is that so?" Han Li raised an eyebrow, showing a surprised expression.
"Your strength is good. I cherish talent. If you submit to me, you can still save your life. If you don't submit, with Xing Kongtian's strength, killing you is definitely more than enough." Lord Tianyin said indifferently.
"What you said makes sense, but Han has always disliked being controlled by others, and even less becoming someone else's slave." Han Li's voice sounded.
"Then that means you're looking for death." Lord Tianyin looked at him, Killing Intent flashing in his eyes.
"Whether it's life or death, everything is still unknown." Han Li said calmly.
"Good, it seems your wings are quite hard. Then I'll see how much you're truly worth."
Lord Tianyin's face was gloomy, and his Aura was instantly released.
The surrounding Void Realm directly collapsed.
A golden Divine Bell manifested behind him, emitting the Divine Might of a top-grade dao artifact.
"I let you run last time. This time, let's see if you have the strength."
"Heaven and Earth, suppress for me!"
"Clang—!!"
As soon as his voice fell, a mighty force swept through the Void Realm, and a thousand li of Void Realm was directly confined, with visible golden light waves rushing towards Han Li.
"Om—!!"
Feeling the terror of this strike, Han Li did not hesitate and immediately unleashed his strongest form.
The massive True Devil Dharma Form manifested, instantly merging into his body, and his Aura directly surged.
Tenfold amplification, full firepower.
"Kill!"
The Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords vibrated, forming the Great Luo Sword Formation, and the golden sword Formation manifested, reflecting the Void Realm and heaven and earth.
"Boom—!!!"
With one collision, Han Li and Lord Tianyin's figures were directly submerged within.
Destructive fluctuations were like a sea, and the confined Void Realm directly collapsed.
The next second, two figures stepped out from within the Void Realm.
Han Li spat out blood, his body covered in cracks, and his Aura trembled incessantly.
The Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords also vibrated, their light dimmed by three points.
However, they still maintained their ultimate power; being fused with the Materials of a supreme sacred weapon, they were not so easily destroyed.
"How is this guy's Magic Treasure so strange!"
Looking at the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords encircling Han Li, Lord Tianyin's pupils constricted.
A Medium Grade Dao Artifact colliding with a top-grade dao artifact was not instantly destroyed, and there weren't even cracks, which was simply incredible.
"It must be fused with special Materials, and it's even possible that Materials from a supreme sacred weapon were added."
A thought surfaced in Lord Tianyin's mind, and at this, his gaze instantly became fervent.
And at this moment, Han Li's body erupted with purple Demonic Light.
Under the illumination of the Demonic Light, in an instant, his injuries completely recovered.
Lord Tianyin also quickly recovered his senses, looked at Han Li, and the Killing Intent in his heart grew even stronger.
"Cosmos Shift!"
Without hesitation, he once again activated the golden divine bell behind him. The next second, the world changed drastically, and Han Li was directly pulled into a different dimension.
"Kid, once you're in this old man's Cosmos Bell, you won't be able to get out." Lord Tianyin's voice rang out, and the next second, lightning exploded in the air, and a destructive bolt of lightning directly rushed towards Han Li.
Watching the approaching lightning, the Qi within Han Li's body trembled, and his Magic Power surged, erupting in an instant.
"Kill!"
The Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords vibrated, and the strongest sword strike was unleashed again. Sword Light flashed, tearing through the lightning.
"Rumble~!!!"
The entire space shook as if it was about to collapse. Sword Qi tore through the sky, cutting a clear mark.
"Hahahahaha, kid, don't even think about resisting. Once you're in the Cosmos Bell, you can't get out." A loud laugh came from the depths of the sky, and the next second, a destructive giant hand descended from the cracked sky.
Divine Light shone brightly, like the hand of a Heavenly God, carrying an irresistible power that annihilated everything.
A strong sense of oppression surged into his heart.
"Can't break it? That's not necessarily true."
Han Li's voice rang out. The next moment, boundless Magic Power surged, brilliant Demonic Light shone, and the Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords burst forth with lightning Sword Qi. The lightning reflected, merging into Han Li's body, instantly transforming into a divine sword.
Man and sword became one!
Under the tenfold amplification state of the True Devil Dharma Form, his strength was further enhanced, surpassing his previous limit, and his Aura directly doubled.
"Void Immeasurable, Sword of All Worlds!"
"Slash!"
Han Li, in the form of a divine sword, unleashed a sword strike.
This sword contained unimaginable power. With one sword strike, the hand resembling a divine being's palm was directly annihilated, the sky collapsed, and Sword Qi tore through everything.
"Boom!!!"
The golden space completely collapsed, and lightning Sword Qi flashed, tearing through the heavens and earth.
With one sword strike, he directly broke through the space-time of the Cosmos Bell.
Han Li's figure instantly appeared.
Not far away, a clear sword mark appeared on the Cosmos Bell behind Lord Tianyin, as if it was about to shatter.
"How is this possible!"
Lord Tianyin's face instantly changed as he watched Han Li rush out.
The top-grade dao artifact Cosmos Bell, in his hands, could exert all its power one hundred percent. Even existences of the same level would not be able to break through easily.
But now, Han Li had directly slashed through it with one sword.
His Cosmos Bell was actually wounded by a Medium Grade Dao Artifact set.
This simply defied common sense.
"Die for me!"
Looking at Han Li, who had transformed into a divine sword, Lord Tianyin was filled with Killing Intent. Disregarding his shock, he immediately unleashed a supreme Divine Ability.
Destructive immortal light surged forth.
At this moment, Han Li, in the form of a divine sword, vibrated, and the supreme sword strike was unleashed again.
The power of the Divine-Grade swordplay erupted with astonishing destructive force. One sword annihilated the immortal light, and a thousand miles of Void Realm turned into Chaos.
After unleashing one sword strike, Han Li also reverted to his true form. The Twelve Heavenly Thunder Swords entered his body, and the Kun Peng Wings manifested behind him. With a flap, he directly escaped into the Void Chaos and disappeared.
"Stay here!"
Lord Tianyin was furious. Vast Magic Power was unleashed, containing the power of the Law of Heaven and Earth. A colossal hand, supporting the sky, grabbed into the Void Chaos.
The Void Realm trembled, and Chaos surged, but with one strike, he caught nothing.
Han Li had already vanished without a trace.
Only a desolate Void Chaos remained.
Lord Tianyin's face darkened, blacker than black.
His heart was filled with raging anger, but also a slight chill down his spine.
This guy's talent and strength were simply too abnormal.
He had unleashed all his strength, yet he was helpless.
Even after a brief confinement, Han Li still managed to break through and escape.
And his Cultivation was only in the Middle Stage of the Divine Treasury. If he were to Breakthrough to the Late Stage of the Divine Treasury, or even Perfection of the Divine Treasury, or even Cultivate to the Primordial Spirit, could he still defeat him?
Perhaps by then, it would be him running away.
Anger and helplessness intertwined in his heart. Looking at the direction of the Void Chaos where Han Li disappeared, Lord Tianyin's gaze was profound.
"No, he must die. Otherwise, there will be endless trouble."
A thought surfaced in Lord Tianyin's mind.
In this battle, he knew that he alone could not kill this person.
Next time, what the situation would be was an unknown.
Such an enemy with immense potential, if he could not be eliminated, would become a lifelong nightmare, and even bring the crisis of death.
He absolutely could not let him leave the East Sea alive.
Otherwise, it would inevitably be a nightmare in the future.
"Let's see if you have the strength to escape from Xing Kongtian's hands..."
Staring at the surging Void Chaos, Lord Tianyin's eyes churned with Killing Intent. The next second, his figure directly disappeared from the spot... In the Ancient Mystic Realm, above a lake surrounded by mountains, a purple lightning flashed. The next second, Han Li's figure stepped out of the Void Realm and descended to the edge of the lake before him.
The Kun Peng Wings disappeared, and the Qi within Han Li's body trembled incessantly.
"I can barely fight him, but the hope of killing Lord Tianyin is probably not high..."
Looking at the surface of the lake before him, Han Li's expression was uncertain.
He killed Xing Jiansheng, but he didn't expect to be targeted by Lord Tianyin.
This old ghost was simply a great menace.
Currently, he couldn't communicate with the outside world from within the Ancient Mystic Realm, but once he left the Ancient Mystic Realm, Han Li almost didn't need to guess the consequences.
He learned of Xing Kongtian's strength from Lord Tianyin. Late Yuanshen Stage, this had basically reached the ceiling of the Human Race.
One step further, and that would be Peak Yuanshen, or even Supreme Paragon.
Being targeted by such a terrifying giant, the consequences were imaginable.
Late Yuanshen Stage, even if he Breakthrough to Perfection, it would basically be impossible to contend.
The gap was too wide. Every step of growth in the Yuanshen Realm was earth-shattering.
"When the Ancient Mystic Realm ends, I probably have to run immediately. Otherwise, if I'm caught, I'll definitely die."
Looking at the rippling surface of the lake, a thought flashed through Han Li's mind.
If Lord Tianyin couldn't kill him, then after leaving the Ancient Mystic Realm, he would definitely inform Xing Kongtian of this news.
This was beyond doubt.
However, it wasn't as if there was no way out. As long as he could escape in advance, find a safe place, and hide using the Heaven Concealing Secret Technique, there was still great hope.
But whether he could deceive a top-tier magnate at the Late Yuanshen Stage, Han Li wasn't 100% sure.
Although his spiritual will was very strong, he wasn't strong enough to be on par with a Primordial Spirit in the Late Yuanshen Stage.
"First, Breakthrough."
Stabilizing his mind, Han Li's Divine Sense scanned his surroundings and casually found a place nearby.
After setting up a Formation, Han Li began to Cultivate.
What was done, Han Li would not regret. This encounter with Xing Jiansheng was also a coincidence. If he killed him, then he killed him.
Although the consequences were severe, there was no room for regret for things already done.
Killing Xing Jiansheng, relying on Xing Jiansheng's life essence blood and the Qi and blood obtained, was enough for him to Breakthrough the last tenth.
Breaking through to the seventh layer of the True Devil Body would also make his strength more robust.
Sitting cross-legged, Han Li took out Xing Jiansheng's corpse. With one hand extended, purple Demonic Light flashed, and in an instant, a mass of life essence blood was extracted.
The Ten Thousand Tribulations True Devil Art circulated, and Han Li first absorbed the sealed Qi and blood.
Purple Demonic Light erupted, enveloping his entire body.
Within his Soul and flesh, the True Devil Mark shone brightly, emitting a powerful light.
As the Qi and blood were continuously absorbed, the second Tribulation Mark within Han Li's body also became increasingly solid.
"Rumble~"
Sounds of thunder echoed within his body. All around Han Li, powerful True Devil Power surged and continuously grew. His Physical Body was also undergoing changes.
The Qi and blood were completely absorbed, and Han Li also felt that the final obstacle was just a tiny bit away.
Without stopping, he continued to circulate the Ten Thousand Tribulations True Devil Art to absorb the extracted life essence blood. The Demonic Light around his body became even more brilliant, almost forming an eggshell that completely enveloped his body.
Vast Aura flowed, and the surrounding air even trembled.
His breathing circulated.
Han Li's Aura continuously rose.
"Om—!!"
When the last of the life essence blood was absorbed, in an instant, his Aura directly skyrocketed.
The brilliant Demonic Light emanating from his body became even stronger.
Illuminating the surrounding Void Realm.
The vast Aura surged out, even the Formation couldn't conceal it.
"Chirp!!"
A purple Demonic Light immediately shot up into the sky, soaring ten thousand zhang into the deep sky.
In an instant, the world changed color, and Winds Arise, Clouds Surge.
Han Li sat cross-legged in place, his Physical Body automatically rising into the air, and a powerful Aura, like ocean waves, continuously spread.
The Aura tore through the Formation, and Demonic Light soared ten thousand zhang high.
In an instant, a roar came from the depths of the distant mountains. Several ancient beasts appeared and directly rushed towards Han Li's location.
The ancient beasts were very fast, traversing the Void Realm, and arrived in an instant.
Three ancient beasts of the Divine Aperture Realm came from three different directions. The ancient beasts' gazes all fell upon the figure sitting cross-legged in mid-air.
Their crimson eyes emitted bloodthirsty gazes. The three ancient beasts roared in unison and directly charged at Han Li in mid-air.
And facing all this, Han Li seemed unaware. The moment the three ancient beasts approached his body, Han Li, who was sitting cross-legged in the Void Realm, immediately opened his eyes, and strange purple Demonic Light filled his pupils.
"Om—!!"
A visible ripple of energy surged out from his body.
In an instant, the three ancient beasts seemed to be confined in the Void Realm by a terrifying force, unable to move.
As if time and space were frozen, Han Li rose from the Void Realm. With a gentle clench of his five fingers, a vast power erupted.
"Boom!!!"
The next second, the heads of the three ancient beasts directly exploded, utterly annihilated! (End of Chapter)
