87: The third dragon elephant of Tianxuan Sect [Fifth update please order first]
A few days passed quickly.
Three days later, in Chang County, Ruyi County, Qingzhou, Han Li appeared on the outskirts.
He completed the remaining two tasks with ease.
At the same time, he also gained a sum of wealth. Although it couldn't compare to the gains from the Fierce Wolf Gang, it still added up.
However, the blood Qi he harvested had not yet allowed his third Dragon Elephant Embryo to Breakthrough.
Although he hadn't reached Perfection, Han Li still planned to enter the Heaven Severing Mountain Range.
Arriving before the Heaven Severing Mountain Range, Han Li gazed into the distance.
It seemed not much different from before.
Above the Heaven Severing Mountain Range, thick dark clouds still gathered, and malevolent Qi surged skyward.
It was already spring, but near the Heaven Severing Mountain Range, the cold Qi was still overwhelming.
The malevolent Qi had reached a visible degree.
Looking at the Heaven Severing Mountain Range, Han Li still hadn't forgotten the scene of being chased by a Demon King back then.
The memory was profound.
"Senior Brother, hurry up, we're almost there!"
Just as Han Li was about to step into the Heaven Severing Mountain Range, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
He stopped, turned his head, and saw two figures, a man and a woman, appear in his sight.
The man and woman were both dressed in fine clothes, indicating they were not ordinary people.
They looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old.
They held Spiritual Artifacts.
Han Li's gaze fell on the left side of their chests, where two characters were embroidered.
"Tianxuan!"
"These two... could they be Disciples of the Tianxuan Sect?" Han Li squinted, and from the two uniform small characters on their chests, he thought of another major School in Qingzhou.
The Tianxuan Sect!
A large Sect located in Xuanyang County, Qingzhou.
It was also one of the three overlords of Qingzhou.
Its strength was comparable to the Golden Spirit Sect and the Qingyuan Sect.
A three-way standoff.
It was also one of the three most powerful Schools in Qingzhou.
At this moment, the man and woman had already approached within a hundred feet and also saw Han Li.
Their gazes met, but Han Li said nothing, merely glancing before withdrawing his gaze.
Whether they were Disciples of the Tianxuan Sect or not, it was not important to him.
The man and woman looked at him, and the young man stepped forward.
"Brother, what do you call yourself?"
"Something wrong?" Han Li looked at the young man, his tone flat.
The young man smiled, looked at him, and said, "Brother, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions. It's just that I see you're alone here, so I wanted to ask if you're interested in teaming up with us to explore together?"
"Senior Brother, what are you doing!"
Before Han Li could speak, the young girl beside him tugged at the young man's sleeve.
Watching this scene, Han Li shook his head lightly: "Thank you for the kind offer, but I'm used to acting alone."
"Friend, this Heaven Severing Mountain Range is very dangerous, with many Demon Beasts," the young man reminded him.
"I understand, thank you." Han Li responded, then his figure moved, quickly disappearing before the two of them and stepping into the Heaven Severing Mountain Range, where poisonous miasma ran rampant.
"Senior Brother, why invite him? An outsider, who knows his depth? If he's a bad person, that would be troublesome." Seeing Han Li disappear, the young girl beside him said.
The young man looked in the direction Han Li disappeared, then at the young girl beside him, and smiled softly: "Junior Sister, this person's blood Qi is abundant, far surpassing that of an ordinary Vein Opening Realm Martial Artist. His strength is not simple!"
"Abundant blood Qi doesn't necessarily mean strength. What if he's just a pretty face, useless in a fight?" the young girl retorted.
The young man: "..."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. He's gone. Let's enter the mountains quickly as well." The young man spoke, and then he strode towards the Heaven Severing Mountain Range.
The young girl followed closely, entering the Heaven Severing Mountain Range together... "Wuwuwu!!!"
Walking through the forest, gusts of wind howled, like the roaring of ghosts and gods.
Cold Qi permeated the air, dark clouds covered the sky, making it feel as if one had stepped into the underworld.
Having been here once, Han Li didn't feel much different this time.
"It's better to avoid that direction. If I run into it, it'll be very troublesome..."
Gazing into the distance, Han Li pondered for a moment, then headed in another direction.
An Intermediate Demon King, even if he Cultivated the third Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo, he would absolutely not be an opponent. The gap was too great.
By avoiding that direction, the probability of encountering danger was also much lower.
Continuously moving forward, passing by dilapidated grave mounds, Han Li could feel the demonic Qi permeating the air.
More often, it was Corpse Qi.
On the ground, there were also some incomplete white bones, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
"Hmm?"
While advancing, Han Li suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on a patch of jungle not far away.
A slight rustling sound came.
The sound was very faint, but it couldn't escape his perception.
Han Li looked in the direction of the sound, his gaze focused, the True Qi in his body quietly gathered, ready to strike at any moment.
Step by step, he approached, getting closer and closer to the bushes.
Han Li's spirit was highly tense.
His breathing slowed down.
"Whoosh—!"
When he was less than dozens of steps away, the bushes suddenly rustled, and a black shadow shot out from them, bringing a gust of wind that rushed towards him.
"Zzzzz—!"
Han Li's spirit condensed, he raised his hand and unleashed a Ben Lei Fist, silver electric arcs flashed, transforming into a substantive fist shadow that blasted out.
"Bang—!"
The fist struck the black shadow, and the attacking black shadow was instantly sent flying, breaking trees and falling to the ground.
But very quickly, the black shadow stood up immediately.
Han Li's heart tensed. This punch was enough to kill a Peak monster-level Demon Beast, but against this monster, it only caused injury.
"What kind of Demon Beast is this?!"
Seeing the monster's appearance clearly, Han Li felt very strange.
At first glance, this thing looked like it was wearing black armor, but what was on its body was not armor, but the monster's skin.
Like black rocks, piece by piece.
It looked like a human, ten feet tall, huge in size, its entire body like black rock, only its eyes were red.
On its chest, there was a clear mark, the mark of his previous attack.
"Rock Demon?"
A term popped into Han Li's mind.
At this moment, the Rock Demon stood up, glanced at Han Li, and then immediately turned and fled.
It seemed to have sensed that he was not easy to deal with and was preparing to run away directly.
"Trying to run."
Han Li's figure moved, an afterimage flashed, and in an instant, he intercepted the Rock Demon.
Although he wasn't clear what kind of monster this was, it wasn't an Innate-level Demon King, so he would definitely not let it go. Just deal with it.
It was able to block his attack because of the Demon Beast's special body.
There were countless Demon Beasts, all kinds of them, so this was nothing strange.
Flashing to intercept, the Rock Demon let out a roar, and its fist, like black rock, struck towards Han Li with a strong wind.
"Zzzzz—!!"
Silver electric light flickered around Han Li, and behind him, a lightning phantom materialized.
He fully unleashed the Ben Lei Fist, directly pushing the Thunder Gods Wrath Divine Ability to its limit.
His Aura instantly soared, and a lightning punch was directly thrown out.
"Boom—!!"
Fists collided, and a visible wave of Qi impacted the surroundings, instantly shattering the surrounding trees.
Qi waves rolled.
The ten-foot-tall Rock Demon was directly sent flying by Han Li, its punching arm shattered, revealing fresh red flesh and flowing blood.
The Thunderbolt strike directly broke its defense.
Han Li darted forward, giving no time for a counterattack.
With one strike, he instantly erupted, the power of Thunder Gods Wrath reaching its Peak.
Thunderous collision!
One strike blasted the Rock Demon's chest.
The Rock Demon, like black armor, was instantly pierced through, and a bloody hole appeared.
The Rock Demon's life force instantly ceased, a surge of blood Qi emerged, and a Demon Seed was sealed away.
"This monster is indeed more difficult to deal with than ordinary Demon Beasts!"
Looking at the dead Rock Demon, Han Li exhaled.
To kill it, he had to break its hard outer shell.
And the Rock Demon's outer shell was equivalent to his own golden stone skin, perhaps even a bit stronger.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have withstood two of his full-strength attacks.
However, his strength ultimately held the absolute upper hand, and with the strike of Thunder Gods Wrath, he instantly killed it.
After glancing at the Rock Demon's corpse, Han Li immediately disappeared from the spot.
The commotion was significant, so he quickly fled. If it attracted any Demon Kings, it would be dangerous.
Shortly after Han Li disappeared, in the forest, a man and a woman arrived before the dead Rock Demon.
"This is... a Black Demon Monster?!"
The young girl looked at the dead Rock Demon, her heart startled.
The young man also looked at the dead Rock Demon and nodded: "It's a Black Demon Monster, and it was killed by someone who broke through its defense with absolute power."
"Could it be him?"
A figure appeared in the young man's mind, and his heart trembled.
Waves also surged in the young woman's heart.
Black Demon Monster!
This was an extremely rare and special type of demon.
Its characteristics included extremely tough skin, harder than rock, immense strength, and very swift movements, making it incredibly powerful.
This Black Demon Monster had reached at least the Peak of the monster level.
However, its strength was at least several times greater than other Peak monster-level demons.
"Senior Brother, who killed it?" the young woman asked, snapping back to reality.
"Perhaps it was that person from before," the young man replied.
The young woman's eyes flickered; hearing this, she remained silent.
"Let's go, don't think too much about it," the young man said, patting her shoulder. The young woman looked up, and then the two headed deeper into the mountain forest... Time passed by minute by minute.
More than an hour had passed since he entered the Heaven Severing Mountain Range.
Han Li had also dealt with several demons and Demon Corpses, accumulating a considerable amount of Blood Qi.
On a small hill, Han Li's figure appeared.
Heaven and Earth Demon Seed (Level 3, 99%)
"Just a little more..."
Han Li looked at the panel and roughly calculated in his mind. If he advanced the Demon Seed to Level 4, with the feedback from the Demon Seed and the accumulated Blood Qi, cultivating the third Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo would definitely be stable.
Looking at the surrounding environment, his gaze drifted to a tomb not far away.
This tomb looked perfectly intact.
And just as Han Li was watching, the tomb suddenly exploded, and a tall figure rushed out from within.
Covered in Corpse Qi, it was clearly a Demon Corpse.
Looking at Han Li, the Demon Corpse's eyes revealed a bloodthirsty gaze.
"Hoo hoo..."
The Demon Corpse let out a low growl and instantly pounced towards Han Li.
"Bang—!"
The next second, the Demon Corpse flew backward, its body smashing onto the tomb.
"Swish—!"
Taking a stride, Han Li arrived in front of the Demon Corpse like lightning. Before the Demon Corpse could attack, a fierce strike carrying silver electric arcs blasted out.
Lightning Hand!
"Boom!!!"
The tomb exploded, dust soared into the sky, and the Demon Corpse's head was instantly blown apart.
Han Li's figure stepped out from the ruined tomb.
Heaven and Earth Demon Seed: (Level 4, 0%)!
In his mind, the purple Demon Seed expanded slightly, emitting a purple glow.
"That's about right. This wave of Blood Qi is enough to advance to the Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo."
Looking around, Han Li's mind stirred, and he instantly released the sealed Blood Qi.
"Roar—!"
Inside his body, the Dragon Elephant in the Embryo let out a long roar. The Blood Qi entered his body, and under Han Li's control, most of it was absorbed by the third Embryo.
The Embryo swelled, expanding at a visible speed, and his Aura instantly increased.
The Dragon Elephant roared.
The sound of his heart beating resonated.
His body's muscles became fuller, his arms tensed, and veins bulged like wriggling green snakes, looking somewhat sinister.
A layer of golden light appeared, and two-thirds of the bones in his body turned golden.
His internal organs, flesh, and Meridians were all instantly strengthened and improved.
As the Embryo continuously swelled, reaching the size of a Primordial Embryo, a golden membrane instantly formed, covering it.
Infinite power surged, and the third Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo was successfully formed.
His Blood Qi instantly surged, and a scorching wave of Qi burst out, evaporating the surrounding mist.
The golden light receded, and everything returned to calm.
Han Li opened his eyes and clenched his fist.
Having cultivated the third Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo, his strength also broke through to over thirty thousand jun.
This power was enough to crush any Vein Opening Realm Martial Artist.
His skin became stronger. He estimated that even without activating the Overlord Body Golden Body, his Physical Body could withstand a strike from a general Low Grade Spiritual Artifact.
His Physical Body transformed again.
Overall strength, doubled!
"Even an Innate Demon King, I'm not without the power to fight!"
Han Li exhaled, his mind calming down.
This improvement was immense.
The deeper one Cultivated the Dragon Elephant Overlord Body Art, this Heaven-Grade Body Tempering martial arts, the more one could appreciate its formidable techniques.
Without this top-tier Body Tempering method, his strength would not have reached its current level.
His Physical Body was unparalleled!
It even surpassed the Physical Body of an Innate True Qi Realm Martial Artist.
This was his absolute advantage.
Looking at the distant mountain forest, Han Li moved and instantly disappeared from his spot... "Clang, clang, clang!!!"
In the mountain forest, filled with poisonous miasma, a sound of metal clashing echoed.
A sharp Aura spread, impacting the surroundings.
"It's them..."
On the hilltop, Han Li looked at the two figures not far away, recognizing them at a glance.
It was the two people he had met earlier in the Heaven Severing Mountain Range.
The two were working together, and four tall figures were attacking them.
"It's that monster again!"
Han Li frowned.
The monsters attacking the two were the rock demons he had encountered before.
Their hard bodies and terrifying strength made them not so easy to kill.
"Although they are difficult to deal with, these monsters provide a good amount of Blood Qi for improvement."
Watching the battle, Han Li's thoughts turned.
The two were struggling against the four rock demons, clearly at a disadvantage.
Both were already injured, but with their Spiritual Artifacts and martial arts, they wouldn't die for a while.
"After dealing with these four monsters, it's almost time to leave."
Han Li made up his mind. The next second, he disappeared from his spot.
"Boom—!"
Lightning flashed, silver electric arcs were released, and a terrifying airflow swept out.
The brain of one of the rock monsters instantly exploded, and its headless body fell to the ground with a thud.
The man and woman were stunned, but before they could react, lightning flashed again, and a figure appeared in front of another rock monster at an extremely fast speed.
A fist print, gathering lightning, struck the rock monster's head, directly obliterating it.
The formidable defensive power was completely unable to withstand it, resulting in an instant kill.
"What kind of Prodigy is this!"
Watching this scene, the young man and woman's hearts exploded.
To blow up a Black Demon Monster with one punch, could this person's strength be that of a Xiantian martial artist?!
Electric arcs permeated, and thunder roared. Han Li, like a Thunder God, instantly arrived in front of the next rock monster. The Ben Lei Fist blasted out, compressing the air, forming an air electric cannon that instantly shot forth.
His strength, which had surged by ten thousand jun, completely crushed them.
He previously could withstand two moves, but having cultivated the third Dragon Elephant Primordial Embryo, he only needed one move.
He didn't even need to fully activate Thunder Gods Wrath.
Under the dumbfounded gazes of the young man and woman, the four Black Demon Monsters were instantly wiped out.
All of them were decapitated with just one strike.
The lightning disappeared, and the silver electric arcs vanished into Han Li's body. The corpses of the four rock monsters lay horizontally on the ground.
"Tianxuan Sect Disciple Su Ning thanks Brother for his assistance!"
The young man was the first to recover, cupping his hands and bowing deeply to Han Li.
Han Li glanced at Su Ning and said indifferently, "You're welcome."
"Brother's assistance in getting rid of these Black Demon Monsters, otherwise, we would have been in danger," Su Ning said with a smile, looking at Han Li.
"Black Demon Monster..." Han Li looked at the rock demons and remembered the name.
"May I ask Brother's name?" Su Ning asked, looking at him.
"Qingyuan Sect, Han Li!"
"Qingyuan Sect... Han Li!"
Su Ning looked at him, his pupils slightly contracting: "Brother Han, you are from the Qingyuan Sect?"
"Is there a problem?" Han Li looked at him.
"No..."
"I just didn't expect Brother to also be from a prestigious School. I apologize for my previous rudeness," Su Ning smiled.
"The Heaven Severing Mountain Range is dangerous. You two be careful. I'll take my leave first," Han Li reminded them, then instantly disappeared from their sight.
Watching Han Li disappear, Su Ning opened his mouth, then swallowed the words he was about to say.
"Senior Brother, is he a Xiantian?" the young woman asked, still dazed.
"No, but his strength is probably comparable to a Xiantian," Su Ning shook his head.
"Even the Black Demon Monsters couldn't withstand a single blow from him. This person is truly a Prodigy," Su Ning sighed.
"He is a Prodigy. He's already this powerful before reaching Xiantian. If he were to reach Xiantian, he would probably be even more incredible..." The young woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"The Qingyuan Sect has a Wu Wuji. This person is probably another Wu Wuji!" Su Ning smacked his lips.
"Wu Wuji, that Prodigy with the Dou Zhan Sheng Ti (Battle Saint Body)?" The young woman blinked.
"Yes, you haven't seen him, but I've met him once, purely by chance," Su Ning nodded.
"Let's go, our mission is complete. Let's go back and report," Su Ning said to the young woman.
"Mm." The young woman nodded, and then the two disappeared from their spot.
