200: The Ten Evils from the Ancient Times and the Eighth Level of Real Demons

Under his gaze, the purple giant egg before him emitted ripples.

The patterns on the egg's surface seemed to come alive.

Besides possessing powerful vitality, Han Li could also feel the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth contained within the purple egg.

This further confirmed his guess: this purple egg was, in all likelihood, the egg of a Primordial Vicious Beast.

It might even be the existence of one of the Ten Primordial Fiends.

There were many Primordial Vicious Beasts, and the Beasts of the Ten Primordial Fiends were among the best of them.

Their innate strength was extremely formidable, and as long as they didn't die, growing into a Supreme Paragon was not an issue.

If he could Cultivate one himself, wouldn't he gain a loyal Supreme Paragon divine pet in the future?!

Thinking of this, Han Li's heart couldn't help but pound.

Snapping back to reality, Han Li looked at the purple giant egg, extended a hand, and his magic power quickly enveloped it.

"Collect!"

With his magic power enveloping it, Han Li, along with the purple lotus platform, collected them into the embroidered rivers and mountains map.

"Rumble~"

Just as Han Li collected the purple lotus platform and the purple giant egg, the palace suddenly emitted rumbling sounds.

Han Li looked around; the entire palace seemed to be trembling, showing signs of collapsing at any moment.

Moreover, the power of the Laws of Heaven and Earth contained within it was rapidly dissipating.

The rumbling grew louder, and cracks appeared in the crystal pillars of the palace.

"Could this lotus platform be the key?"

Han Li was startled but quickly recovered. His Divine Sense probed, finding nothing else in the entire palace. Then, his figure moved, and he vanished directly from the palace.

And just as Han Li stepped out of the purple crystal mountain, with a loud bang, the entire purple crystal mountain collapsed directly, turning into nothingness.

The previously indestructible purple crystal mountain now vanished without a trace, like a bubble.

Han Li glanced at the purple lotus platform and the purple giant egg within the embroidered rivers and mountains map, then looked at the collapsing purple crystal mountain, sighed, and then his figure disappeared from where he stood... A moment later, Han Li arrived at a spot several thousand li away.

Finding an extremely hidden cave, Han Li set up layers of Formations.

Looking at the purple giant egg in the embroidered rivers and mountains map, Han Li was very curious.

His intuition told him that the possibility of this purple giant egg being the offspring of one of the Ten Primordial Fiends was very high.

However, Han Li was still unsure how long it would take for it to hatch.

"Cultivating this divine egg requires ample Spiritual Qi, preferably a Spiritual Vein. Hmm, I'll try with a Low Grade Spiritual Vein first."

With this thought, Han Li immediately took out a Low Grade Spiritual Vein and placed it in front of the purple lotus platform.

He restrained the Spiritual Vein, preventing it from moving.

Then, under Han Li's gaze, the purple giant egg suddenly emitted a thud. The next second, a powerful purple light shone forth, illuminating the Low Grade Spiritual Vein and drawing its power.

Watching the purple giant egg continuously absorb the power of the Spiritual Vein, Han Li also observed carefully. Within the purple light, a phantom of a monster appeared.

Although it looked delicate and small, it contained unparalleled ferocious might.

Its horns resembled a deer's, its head a camel's, its ears a cat's, its eyes a shrimp's, and its body a dog's.

Overall, it looked very fierce.

As he looked at the phantom appearing in the purple light, Han Li's mind recalled various descriptions of the appearances of the Ten Primordial Fiends.

Soon, a flash of inspiration struck Han Li. From this monster's phantom, he identified one of the Vicious Beasts among the Ten Primordial Fiends.

Heaven Swallowing Howler!

One of the Ten Primordial Fiends!

And it was an extremely terrifying existence among the Ten Primordial Fiends.

It was also the rarest kind.

Records about the Heaven Swallowing Howler were very scarce, but the simple descriptions in ancient texts fully elucidated the terrifying aspects of this fearsome Vicious Beast.

An existence that fed on True Dragons, Qilins, and Phoenixes.

The Heaven Swallowing Howler fed on other Ten Primordial Fiends, its ferocious might renowned.

Its Divine Abilities were even more terrifying.

"This purple egg is a Heaven Swallowing Howler's egg!"

Han Li's heart pounded, and his eyes grew fervent.

From the monster's phantom that appeared, he could confirm that this purple giant egg should be the offspring of a Heaven Swallowing Howler.

When it grew up, it would be even more terrifying than an ordinary Supreme Paragon.

"I've struck it rich!"

A smile appeared in Han Li's eyes as he looked at the purple egg continuously absorbing the Spiritual Vein, his mind returning to normal.

Although the growth of a Ten Primordial Fiend was not something that could happen overnight, once cultivated, its strength upon birth would likely rival that of an ordinary Divine Aperture Realm existence.

Achieving Supreme Paragon in the future was a certainty.

As long as he had the patience, success was guaranteed in the future.

"Slowly..."

Exhaling a mouthful of turbid Qi, Han Li's mind stabilized, calming the fluctuations. Then, he sat cross-legged and released the blood Qi sealed within the Demonic Seed.

"Buzz—!"

With the Ten Thousand Tribulations True Devil Art operating, Han Li's entire body was enveloped by demonic light.

His Aura was also continuously rising.

The blood Qi within his body flowed like a surging ocean.

After an incense stick's time, having absorbed the sealed blood Qi, Han Li's Ten Thousand Tribulations True Devil Art advanced another step.

Immediately, he took out the sealed essence blood and absorbed it again.

Including the purple desolate beast he had slain, he had a total of five Divine Treasury Perfection Realm essence bloods and one Divine Treasury Late Stage essence blood. He had absolute confidence in breaking through the last tenth.

Intense demonic light illuminated the cave.

The True Devil Power within Han Li's body continuously soared.

Rumbling sounds constantly emanated from his body, and the Aura around him completely compressed the air in the cave.

His Aura was like an abyss, unfathomable... "Boom—!!"

A purple divine light, soaring into the sky, rose ten thousand zhang high, directly piercing into the depths of the firmament.

In an instant, the world changed color, fierce winds howled, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. A boundless Aura, centered on the mountain where Han Li was, swept across the Heaven and Earth Void Realm.

Within a thousand li, all were affected by his Aura.

Mighty as a God!

Eight hundred li away, in the Void Realm, several figures stopped, looking towards the depths of the firmament, where the soaring purple divine light stimulated the eyes of several magnates.

"How can there be such an unusual phenomenon? Could it be that some extraordinary treasure has appeared?!"

Among them, a green-robed youth spoke, looking at the purple divine light in the depths of the firmament, as if it was connecting Heaven and Earth.

"This is not the Aura of an extraordinary treasure. It seems to be a person's Aura. It should be an unusual phenomenon caused by someone Cultivating a divine technique." At this moment, the Black-Robed Old Man beside him spoke, looking at the soaring purple divine light.

Hearing this, the other several magnates exchanged glances, looking at each other in dismay.

An unusual phenomenon caused by Cultivating a divine technique?!

What kind of earth-shattering divine technique would one have to Cultivate to produce such a terrifying unusual phenomenon?!

"Fellow Daoist Wu, are you sure?" The green-robed youth couldn't help but ask, looking at the Black-Robed Old Man with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Divine technique unusual phenomena are not uncommon. I once encountered them in the Central Continent."

"Moreover, I once personally witnessed an unusual phenomenon caused by a Holy Land magnate evolving his Wheel Sea, and that scene was even grander than this." The Black-Robed Old Man said.

Hearing this, the green-robed youth looked at the soaring purple divine light.

He believed in the Wheel Sea evolution unusual phenomenon. Any special Physique, when Cultivated to the point of evolving the Wheel Sea, would produce a Physique unusual phenomenon.

For example, Xing Jiansheng of the Spirit God Sect, with his five Divine Treasuries at Perfection, formed his Wheel Sea, and it presented a special unusual phenomenon of myriad stars reflecting, with Heaven and Earth resonating.

That scene was indeed breathtaking.

However, what was before them was not a Wheel Sea unusual phenomenon. Although it looked shocking, it did not cause Heaven and Earth to resonate. It should truly be an unusual phenomenon triggered by Cultivating some special divine technique.

"Should we go and see?" The green-robed youth asked.

"Let's not. This person has just achieved Major Achievement in his divine technique. If we go, we might cause a misunderstanding." The Black-Robed Old Man shook his head.

The other several magnates also agreed with his words, nodding simultaneously.

Seeing this, the green-robed youth said no more, glanced at the ten thousand zhang divine light soaring into the sky, and then the figures of the few people headed in another direction.

And at this moment, inside the cave, Han Li's entire body shimmered with intense purple demonic light.

The demonic light was brilliant, and his Aura was like an abyss!

Only after a short while did it stop.

The demonic light receded, and the Aura around him completely retracted. Han Li's tightly closed eyes opened, and a wisp of purple light flashed within his pupils.

"Hoo~"

Han Li exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi, and the Aura around him stabilized.

Having devoured the essence blood, he also successfully broke through the final step.

He had Cultivated the True Devil Body to the eighth stage.

His own strength had surged several times over.

The True Devil Power within his body had increased by more than tenfold.

His Soul had grown, becoming even stronger, and compared to the Primordial Spirit of the Yuanshen Realm, he was equally formidable, even slightly stronger than a Primordial Spirit in the Early Stage of Yuanshen.

However, the biggest change was his Physical Body.

His Physical Body had undergone another transformation, and with this wave of transformation, Han Li also successfully opened the third Divine Treasury.

The Divine Treasury of the Lungs was opened, breaking through a hundred li.

His magic power had surged by more than tenfold.

The power of Heaven and Earth he could wield was also more vast and surging.

A Breakthrough, a world-shaking change.

Boundless power surged, and the Tribulation Marks within Han Li's body shone brightly, even more dazzling. The third Tribulation Mark also emerged, though it had not yet fully manifested.

This trip to the Ancient Mystic Realm, he continuously broke through two stages.

If he were outside, it might not have been so easy.

The improvement was no less significant than his trip to the North Continent.

Opportunities were far more important than arduous Cultivation.

Stabilizing the Aura within his body, Han Li thoroughly checked himself from inside out.

After this Breakthrough, even without unleashing his True Devil Dharma Form, he could contend with top-tier magnates like Lord Tianyin.

He could even gain the upper hand. If he activated his True Devil Dharma Form for amplification, he had a very high chance of eliminating an existence of Lord Tianyin's caliber.

However, it was not absolute. Top-tier magnates who could Cultivate to the Yuanshen Realm all had some trump card Divine Abilities.

The last confrontation did not fully represent Lord Tianyin unleashing all his strength.

Whether he could kill him, only a direct confrontation would reveal.

"It's done. This trip can be considered completely successful." A smile appeared on Han Li's face.

The gains from this trip were far greater than he had imagined.

Han Li wished he could enter the Supreme Secret Realm more often; that way, his strength would increase even faster.

However, this was only a wish.

After all, the Supreme Secret Realm was not so easy to open.

There were time limits and special rule restrictions; one couldn't just enter whenever one pleased.

"There's not much time left. The probability of finding Lord Tianyin is likely very small. It seems after I go out, I'll have to hide for a period first."

His thoughts raced like lightning, and Han Li sighed.

Although his current strength was enough to contend with a Supreme like Lord Tianyin, the gap between him and an existence like Xing Kongtian, who was close to a god among mortals, was still too vast.

The difference of a small stage in the Yuanshen Realm could be even greater than the difference from the Early Stage of Divine Treasury to Divine Treasury Perfection.

His strength had increased a lot, but Han Li knew very well that he couldn't defeat a Supreme of Xing Kongtian's caliber.

The gap was not just generally large.

Throughout the entire East Sea, such top-tier magnates could be counted on one's fingers.

Engaging in a head-on confrontation, even with his current strength, would put his life in extreme danger.

After leaving the Ancient Mystic Realm, he had to quickly hide.

Even if he killed Lord Tianyin, there was no guarantee that Lord Tianyin hadn't left behind some trump card; the news would definitely leak out. Such an old ghost would have more than just three bolt-holes.

Unless he could kill every Human Race and Yao Race member who entered the Ancient Mystic Realm within the remaining time.

But that probability was clearly impossible.

Time was also insufficient; who knew how many people had entered the Ancient Mystic Realm.

"Blessings are intertwined with misfortune!"

Sighing, Han Li closed his eyes and re-entered his Cultivation state, fully stabilizing his strength.

No matter what the situation was like after leaving the Ancient Mystic Realm, he had to maintain his optimal state.

This tribulation, it depended on luck, and also on strength... Time flowed, and the closing time of the Ancient Mystic Realm was approaching.

Exploration had also basically reached its final conclusion.

Inside the cave, Han Li sat cross-legged, his Aura contained, having completely stabilized his increased strength.

His magical power accumulation had also reached Perfection.

Opening his eyes, Han Li then stood up, took a step, and walked directly out of the cave.

Arriving outside the cave, Han Li looked up at the sky, spread his hand, and an ancient mystic key appeared in his palm.

At this moment, the ancient mystic key had already reacted. He estimated that in less than an hour, he might have to leave the Ancient Mystic Realm.

Upon leaving the Ancient Mystic Realm, the ancient mystic key would also disappear.

This was the key to entering the Ancient Mystic Realm, and also the key to leaving the Ancient Mystic Realm.

Standing on the cliff, Han Li looked into the distance. In his mind, he had already outlined a detailed plan.

After leaving the Ancient Mystic Realm, he would immediately flee. As long as he could buy a little time and use the Heaven Concealing Secret Technique to hide, he would have nothing to worry about.

Unlike the situation in the North Sea, this time, Han Li was facing pursuit from Human Race Sect forces.

The various circumstances and his own strength, compared to before, were like heaven and earth.

Having finalized the plan in his mind, Han Li then introspected his Dantian, his spirit entering the embroidered rivers and mountains map.

On the purple lotus platform, the Heaven Swallowing Howler's egg still emitted a strong purple light, continuously absorbing the power of the Spiritual Vein.

In just two or three days, this egg had already consumed six Low Grade Spiritual Veins from him.

On average, it absorbed almost three Spiritual Veins a day.

Such consumption would drain even an ordinary force.

Fortunately, he had quite a few Spiritual Veins. Just by killing Xing Jiansheng, he had obtained more than a dozen Spiritual Veins, and most of them were Medium Grade Spiritual Veins, with even one High Grade Spiritual Vein.

Adding to that the wealth of other Demon Emperors he had killed, although the Heaven Swallowing Howler's appetite was huge, he could still afford it.

Being able to Cultivate a future Supreme Paragon Vicious Beast, this bit of consumption was worth it.

Han Li would absolutely not be stingy with what he had to give.

Once this return was successful, it would be absolutely unimaginable.

A few days of feeding were not without any gains.

Han Li could sense that the life force within the egg was continuously strengthening.

Compared to the beginning, it had grown twice as strong.

However, there were still no signs of it hatching.

"When the Heaven Swallowing Howler hatches, the demon cores I've collected can be used for this guy."

Looking at the giant purple egg, Han Li's thoughts emerged.

All the demon cores from the demon kings and demon emperors he had killed were accumulated, and Han Li also collected some powerful demon emperor flesh and blood.

When he had time, grilling and eating some demon emperor flesh and blood tasted quite good and was extremely nourishing.

The Heaven Swallowing Howler had a huge appetite. As one of the Ten Primordial Fiends, its fierce reputation was well-known. These accumulated demon emperor flesh and blood and demon cores could just provide the Heaven Swallowing Howler with the energy for its growth.

Although Han Li had been Cultivating these past few days, he hadn't forgotten to pay attention to the Heaven Swallowing Howler egg. At the same time, he used his own vital essence and blood to communicate with the Heaven Swallowing Howler. As soon as the Heaven Swallowing Howler hatched, it would become his unique divine pet.

This was better than any secret art of refinement; it had already acknowledged him as its master before even being born.

After checking the situation of the Heaven Swallowing Howler egg, Han Li withdrew his mind, spread his hand, and a golden bead appeared in his palm.

This was the top-grade dao artifact golden bead he had obtained.

Han Li had also completed a simple refinement and understood the capabilities and effects of this golden bead.

This treasure was the Time-Space Pearl.

It contained a space-time of its own. Activating the Time-Space Pearl could alter the flow of time.

However, it could only change the time flow by a factor of ten.

Besides this, the Time-Space Pearl also possessed offensive and defensive power.

Its destructive power was also considerable.

However, he had not yet fully refined it, so he couldn't activate the Time-Space Pearl at the moment.

He would only have enough time to refine it after leaving the Ancient Mystic Realm.

After glancing at the Time-Space Pearl, Han Li put it away.

After leaving the Ancient Mystic Realm and escaping this tribulation, once he refined the Time-Space Pearl, he could use its special ability to alter the flow of time, accelerating the Cultivation of his Divine Ability. Although it would consume ten times his lifespan, his lifespan exceeded ten thousand years, so even with ten times the consumption, it would be an easy matter for him.

"Whoosh—!"

Just at this moment, a sound of breaking through the Void Realm came, and Han Li immediately looked up.

A long rainbow streaked through the Void Realm, and a tattered figure appeared in his sight.

"Hmm?"

"Duan Chunfeng!"

Seeing the face clearly, Han Li felt surprised.

"How did he get so disheveled? He looks like he's being pursued."

Looking at Duan Chunfeng's disheveled appearance in the Void Realm, his Aura was turbulent, and he was injured.

As Han Li was surprised, in the Void Realm, Duan Chunfeng also saw Han Li on the cliff.

"Brother Han, help me!"

Duan Chunfeng shouted loudly and directly rushed towards Han Li.

"..."

Good heavens, he really was being pursued.

Listening to Duan Ye's voice, Han Li's heart twitched, but deep down, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Previously in the North Continent and North Sea, he had been pursued by the Yao Race to the point of having no escape.

That taste was not good.

And at this very moment, several more long rainbows appeared in the Void Realm, and two figures entered Han Li's eyes.

Their Auras were powerful: one Divine Treasury Perfection, and two Late Stage Divine Treasury.

They rushed over like the wind and lightning.

Duan Chunfeng descended from the sky, spitting blood, his hair disheveled, looking utterly miserable.

No need to guess, these two were pursuing Duan Chunfeng.

"Brother Han, save me." Duan Chunfeng spoke, his expression listless, looking like he was seriously injured.

"Fellow Daoist Duan, how did you end up like this?" Han Li was astonished.

He remembered that Duan Chunfeng shouldn't be such a troublemaker; he seemed very amiable.

How was he now being so miserably pursued by two magnates?

Could it be because of some treasure that he was being pursued?

Or was it that they were already enemies?

And at this moment, the two who were pursuing Duan Chunfeng also quickly arrived.

They glanced at Han Li, then their gazes fell back on Duan Chunfeng.

"How dare you snatch my stuff! Hand over the item, then offer a hundred million Spirit Stones as an apology, otherwise, I'll let you die in this Ancient Mystic Realm today!"

Among them, a Black-Robed Old Man spoke, his gaze sharp, his Aura towering.

Duan Chunfeng's face was pale. Looking at the two, he said, "I saw this first."

"Just because you saw it, it's yours?" The other purple-robed middle-aged man spoke.

"Stop talking nonsense. Hand over the crimson phoenix immortal gold and the purple lotus heavenly flower, then apologize with a hundred million Spirit Stones, and I'll spare you. Otherwise, this will be your burial ground."

The Black-Robed Old Man spoke, his body surging with Aura. The Aura of Divine Treasury Perfection Realm swept over like an overwhelming tide.

"crimson phoenix immortal gold..."

Hearing these words, Han Li's eyes immediately brightened, and his heart couldn't help but pound.

crimson phoenix immortal gold, this was a Materials for forging a supreme sacred weapon, an existence on par with dragon vein celestial gold.

The purple lotus heavenly flower was a longevity divine medicine, but compared to crimson phoenix immortal gold, it was still a bit inferior.

Of course, this was for him, after all, he had consumed the Phoenix Golden Lotus.

For others, the longevity divine medicine might be more appealing.

However, the Materials for a supreme sacred weapon like crimson phoenix immortal gold, for him, was far more valuable than the purple lotus heavenly flower.

Just as Han Li was in shock, Duan Chunfeng's voice transmission reached his ear.

"Brother Han, if you can help me resist these two, I can give you the crimson phoenix immortal gold as a thank-you gift."

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Han Li immediately regained his senses, his eyes brightening.

Duan Chunfeng looked at him, his eyes sincere.

Han Li smiled: "Brother Duan is too polite. Brother Duan's trouble is Han's trouble. I will not shirk from it."

"Boy, you dare to interfere? Are you truly not afraid of death?" At this moment, the purple-robed middle-aged man looked at Han Li, his gaze cold.

Han Li, however, ignored him, looking at Duan Chunfeng, and said, "Brother Duan's words, are they true?"

Duan Chunfeng gritted his teeth, immediately spread his hand, and a glowing item wrapped in magical power was directly handed to Han Li.

It was the size of a fist, the color like a glazed crystal, and faintly, one could see a fiery red Phoenix soaring within this glazed crystal.

supreme sacred weapon Materials, crimson phoenix immortal gold!

"Brother Han, if you help, I will absolutely not break my word."

"Hahahahaha, good!"

Han Li laughed heartily, waved his hand, and directly put away the crimson phoenix immortal gold.

"Presumptuous!"

The purple-robed middle-aged man watched Han Li put away the crimson phoenix immortal gold and could no longer hold back. Magical power surged, and he directly attacked Han Li with a move.

But before the Divine Ability could even get close to Han Li, a vast fluctuation erupted from within Han Li's body, and the unleashed Divine Ability was directly pulverized by the vast fluctuation.

"Boom—!"

In the next instant, before the purple-robed middle-aged man could recover, the fluctuation swept over, directly annihilating him, and his life force was completely severed. (End of chapter)
