"Under the power of that divine lightning, there shouldn't be any chance of survival." Faced with Lan Yan's somewhat hesitant question, Han Li said with a grave expression.
After saying that, he struggled to stand up, but as soon as he did so, he felt a wave of exhaustion throughout his body. His legs went soft, and he actually fell back down.
Seeing this, Lan Yan hurriedly stretched out her hand to support him, but was stopped by Han Li with a wave of his hand.
"I've used up a bit too much energy. I'll just rest for a while, you don't need to worry about me." Han Li said slowly.
After saying that, he sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and started to meditate.
Seeing that he really was fine, Lan Yan let out a sigh of relief. Standing to the side, she looked up and saw that the ceiling of the underground space that had already completely collapsed was leaking through a patch of sunlight. It just happened to shine on her body, making her appear a bit dazzling.
Under the sunlight, her shadow was long, extending all the way to Han Li's side.
The battle on the Weeping Soul's side was also nearing its end. After she sucked in the last remaining trace of Baleful Yin Qi into her stomach, she let out a beautiful burp and returned to human form.
Seeing that Han Li was meditating here, she didn't disturb him. Instead, she walked to the side of the thick ancient book and started to read.
Seeing this, Lan Yan wanted to go up and say something to her.
However, just as she took a step forward, her body suddenly froze, and a look of disbelief flashed through her eyes.
It turned out that her body had moved, but her shadow actually remained in the same place.
For a moment, a strange change occurred.
In the shadow that remained in the same place, a black light suddenly lit up, and a figure suddenly emerged from it, holding a ghost head dagger in his hand, stabbing straight at the vital point of Han Li's chest.
His cheeks were long and thin, and his eyes were incomparably cold. Who else could it be but Gui Lingzi?
This change was too shocking, so much so that Lan Yan and the Weeping Soul didn't even have time to react. The ghost head dagger in Gui Lingzi's hand was already less than a few inches away from Han Li's chest.
However, Han Li seemed as if he didn't feel it, and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
In the battle just now, he had really used up too much energy.
Both of Gui Lingzi's eyes bulged and a trace of redness appeared on his originally pale face. It was as if he was a little excited that he was about to succeed.
But right at this moment, Han Li who seemed to be exhausted and didn't have the strength to fight back suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was like lightning and filled with vigor, and a wisp of a cold smile hung on the corners of his mouth.
"I knew you wouldn't give up. I was waiting for you …"
As soon as he finished his sarcastic words, one of his palms had already stretched out like lightning. Golden lightning coiled around his palm and it grabbed Gui Lingzi's neck even though it was launched later.
"How … how is this possible?"
The ghost head dagger in Gui Lingzi's hand was already pressed against Han Li's chest, but it was unable to move even half an inch closer as he muttered in disbelief.
"Back then, I didn't gather enough power. I knew that one sword attack wouldn't be enough to kill you. Originally, I thought that if you were smart enough to run away, I would let you go. Unfortunately, after I pretended to be weak, you couldn't help but attack me. You really have a death wish," said Han Li with a sneer.
"This is the Nine Origin Temple. You dare to kill me?" Gui Lingzi said furiously.
"Since I've come, I've naturally made all kinds of plans.
Right now, you don't even have a tenth of your original cultivation. Killing you is as easy as flipping my hand. However, I'll have to wait until I search your soul first. "Han Li said with a smile.
Finished speaking, a ray of light flashed between his eyebrows. A crystal thread extended out and went straight into the space between Gui Lingzi's eyebrows.
Han Li's mind moved and the Spirit Refinement Art silently circulated, wanting to break the restrictions in Gui Lingzi's sea of consciousness.
"Haha, you want to search my soul? Wishful thinking.
Since you came uninvited, then I'll give you a generous gift. "
Before Han Li's divine sense entered Gui Lingzi's sea of consciousness, Gui Lingzi's voice first rang out in his own sea of consciousness.
Han Li secretly said, "Not good!" in his heart. He suddenly withdrew the crystal thread between his eyebrows and opened his eyes.
However, the moment he opened his eyes, he saw a strange dark purple talisman suddenly float out from Gui Lingzi's eyebrows. With a whoosh, it ignited and turned into a purple talisman, directly entering the space between his eyebrows.
Immediately after, an unprecedented intense pain that almost tore his head apart swept over.
Even Han Li, who had endured all kinds of pain, actually found it slightly unbearable. His palm involuntarily loosened, and he fell to the ground holding his head, rolling in all directions.
After Gui Lingzi broke free, he immediately pulled away from him.
"What did you do?" Seeing the situation, Weeping Soul said furiously.
"Didn't I say that I gave him a generous gift?
That is a Corpse Slaying Immortal Talisman that I prepared for myself to break through the bottleneck in the future. If I use it when I reach the Late-stage of the Grand Luo Realm, it will naturally have boundless effects that surpass thousands of miraculous pills. Using it on a mere early-stage Grand Luo Realm? Haha, haha … "Gui Lingzi's expression was ferocious as he laughed loudly.
"Release him!" Weeping Soul roared as he charged at Qin Lie.
Gui Lingzi's figure directly dispersed instead, and he transformed into an expanse of ghost mist that dispersed into the surroundings.
His injuries from the battle with Han Li were extremely heavy. Even if he was able to maintain his original cultivation, advancing a step further into the advanced-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm in the future would probably become an extravagant hope.
If it wasn't for this, he wouldn't have been willing to use the Corpse Slaying Immortal Talisman that was said to be a triple armor Immortal Talisman in the Immortal Dimension on Han Li.
"AH!!!"
A heart wrenching shrill cry resounded out. Han Li who was rolling on the ground suddenly did a carp flip to stand up from the ground, and his entire body stood straight on the spot like a spear without moving in the slightest.
"Don't go over first. Look at him …" Weeping Soul was just about to approach when he saw this, yet he was stopped by Lan Yan.
Weeping Soul looked over with concentration, and he saw that Han Li who stood on the spot at this moment seemed to be slightly off.
At this moment, there were actually two expressions on his face that couldn't be considered to be outstanding, and it was extremely strange.
The brows on the left half of his face were knit together tightly while his eyes were opened wide, and even his nose was wrinkled while a wisp of an evil smile hung on the corners of his mouth. On the other hand, the expression on the right half of his face was much more normal, but his eyes were filled with a struggling expression.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Weeping Soul cried out with shock when he saw this.
Han Li raised his head slightly. He seemed to have heard Weeping Soul's words, and the corners of the mouth on the right half of his face moved as if he wanted to answer. However, the left half of his face didn't agree, and he just grinned savagely while holding onto the right half of his face.
"This is really bad …" Lan Yan's expression was unsightly as she muttered to herself.
Han Li let out a howl of pain, and then his figure suddenly charged forward as if he intended to charge towards the Weeping Soul and Weeping Soul.
A wisp of terror flashed in Lan Yan's eyes, and his figure couldn't help but stagger a few steps back.
However, in the next moment, Han Li's footsteps stopped once more. He held his head with an expression of pain, and then he fell to the ground and started rolling about madly.
"Exactly what move did he use? Master's soul has actually become slightly unstable." Weeping Soul's expression changed abruptly when it noticed the fluctuations in Han Li's soul, and it spoke with surprise.
"It's a Corpse Execution Talisman," said Lan Yan with a solemn expression.
"A Corpse Execution Talisman … What's that?" Weeping Soul asked anxiously.
"A Corpse Execution Talisman is one of the most precious Immortal Talismans in the entire True Immortal Dimension. Up until now, it's one of the few methods of assisting a Golden Immortal Realm cultivator to execute Corpse Execution," explained Lan Yan.
"Corpse Execution?
Isn't that a bottleneck that would only appear when one attains the peak of the three stages of the Golden Immortal Realm? "Weeping Soul was puzzled.
"You're right. So that's where the problem lies. Friend Han is only at the initial-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm right now, and there's quite a distance before he can advance into the intermediate-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. He doesn't possess the qualifications to execute Corpse Execution at all, yet he's being forcefully executed with a Corpse Execution Talisman now …" Lan Yan continued.
Weeping Soul immediately came to an understanding when she heard this, and her expression instantly became even more unsightly.
She was even more clearly aware of Han Li's condition than Lan Yan. Earlier, after Han Li broke through into the Golden Immortal Realm, even though his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds while he'd opened up many Immortal Apertures in one go, he was far from attaining the peak of the initial-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, and he was extremely far away from the bottleneck that required him to execute the first Corpse Execution.
Besides that, when an ordinary Golden Immortal Realm cultivator encountered a bottleneck and had to execute Corpse Execution to advance, all of them would prepare all sorts of methods and search for a secluded place to enter into closed door cultivation. They could be said to have made thorough preparations, but due to various reasons, they might not be able to successfully execute the Corpse God. Even if they succeeded, there was an extremely great risk of suffering backlash, and it would cause their cultivation to regress while it was severe.
The Corpse Execution Talisman at this moment was undoubtedly an extreme method for Han Li, and it urged him to split the first Corpse God in advance under the circumstances that his cultivation wasn't sufficiently prepared.
On the other hand, it was naturally impossible for Han Li to succeed in his current condition, so the only outcome that awaited him was destruction.
"Is there a way to stop it?" The Weeping Soul stared fixedly at Han Li as she asked.
"Gui Lingzi had already activated the Corpse Execution Talisman when he utilized it, so it's impossible for us to stop it … We can only see if Friend Han is able to suppress the effect of the talisman." Lan Yan had a helpless expression as she muttered.
She was clearly aware in her heart that once the might of such an Immortal Talisman was released, how could an initial-stage Golden Immortal Realm cultivator be able to suppress it?
Right at this moment, Han Li, who had been rolling on the ground with his arms wrapped around his head, suddenly came to an abrupt halt. He abruptly somersaulted, and his body almost instantly vanished on the spot before rushing directly toward the Weeping Soul Beast.
The Weeping Soul was caught off guard, and she could only instinctively cross her arms to block before her. In the end, Han Li's fingers formed a claw that suddenly slapped down at her.
The Weeping Soul saw through the gap between her arms that Han Li's face had actually warped into a savage and ferocious appearance, and there was even some translucent saliva flowing down from the corners of his mouth that had split open in an exaggerated manner.
"Hehe, you seem to have a very close connection with his aura …." Han Li spoke with a ferocious expression.
In the next instant, the Weeping Soul felt an overwhelming force suddenly assault her, and her arms even felt as if they were on the verge of breaking. Her figure rolled on the ground as she smashed through the dilapidated walls in the ruins, and she left behind a deep mark on the ground.
Her figure collided with an enormous stone wall with great difficulty before she finally stopped. She hurriedly covered her mouth, yet she still couldn't refrain from spitting out a mouthful of blood.
