"I should be the one asking you this!
This is the Netherworld. Don't think that I can't recognize you as the cultivators of the Immortal World just because you used the Three Lives Water to wash away your Yang Qi!
Go back to where you came from. The Netherworld does not welcome you. "The middle-aged man in a black robe said coldly.
Han Li's heart stirred slightly upon hearing this, but his expression remained unchanged as he replied with a smile, "I see. We arrived here by chance. Could it be that you're one of the Infernal Realm Ghost Emissaries that are guarding this place?"
"It seems that you don't plan to retreat. In that case, you will die here. Set up … Heart Piercing Formation!" The middle-aged man in a black robe's face turned cold. He waved his hand, pulled out the spear on his back, and pointed it forward.
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost soldier phalanx behind him instantly divided into two groups, forming two cone-shaped phalanxes. The ghost soldiers in the phalanx were connected and integrated into one. It was as if they had become a whole.
The two cone-shaped phalanxes turned into two thick arrow shadows, shooting toward Han Li and the Weeping Soul at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the two with a vast wave of Ghost Qi and wind pressure. The void in front of them was almost shattered.
The Weeping Soul was caught off guard. Its body staggered and was blown away.
Han Li's body remained motionless. While he was secretly surprised by the power of the ghost battle formation, his whole body's momentum instantly rose crazily. An incomparably bright golden brilliance burst out of his hand, and a golden thunder sword appeared in his hand.
In a burst of sword whistling sound, hundreds of golden sword qi burst out, instantly converging into a rotating golden light pillar in front of him, blocking the two thick black arrow shadows.
"Boom!"
The powerful shockwave turned into countless powerful air storms that swept out in all directions.
The two phalanxes suddenly stopped, and then they were shocked back. Although the black light flashed wildly in the phalanx, the phalanx did not collapse.
As for Han Li, he was also forced back two steps by the backlash before he managed to stabilize himself.
At this moment, the void behind him moved, and a black spear shadow appeared out of thin air, stabbing toward his back like a poisonous snake.
With a flash of golden thunder, another golden thunder sword appeared behind Han Li, as if it had been waiting here for a long time, blocking the sudden attack of the spear shadow.
Another "boom" sound rang out!
Two halos of unparalleled might, one black and one gold, suddenly appeared in the underground space, and then suddenly exploded.
The black spear shadow was bounced back, and the black-robed middle-aged man's figure appeared with a look of surprise.
Han Li's body was sent flying again. However, he waved his sleeve and a golden light shot out, turning into a golden girl. It was Jin Tong.
"You and Weeping Soul, go take care of the two battle formations!" Han Li said to Jin Tong.
Before he finished speaking, his figure immediately shot out and pounced towards the black-robed middle-aged man.
Two golden lightning bolts also shot towards the black-robed middle-aged man. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the black-robed middle-aged man. Moreover, they expanded to more than a hundred times their original size. They were like giant golden scissors that cut down.
The black spear in the black-robed middle-aged man's hand surged with black radiance. It spun rapidly, and then stabbed out in anger. It accurately hit the intersection of the two golden swords.
"Hong!" A crisp sound rang out!
The two golden swords immediately stopped in mid-air, and the black-robed middle-aged man borrowed the force of the collision to shoot backwards.
When Han Li saw this, he formed an incantation gesture with his hands.
The two giant swords suddenly lit up, and two thick golden lightning bolts burst out from them. The black-robed middle-aged man couldn't react in time because the two swords were so close to each other that he was hit.
An incomparably dazzling golden light appeared out of thin air, and enveloped the surrounding area of dozens of miles.
All the chilly wind and cold air in this void were shattered, and not even a trace of it remained. Only fierce golden lightning bolts were flickering and crackling.
But then, a black light appeared out of thin air, and the golden lightning bolts that were swimming around in the vicinity converged toward the black light like a whale sucking in water.
The black-robed middle-aged man's figure appeared in a flash. His entire body was clean, and he was unexpectedly unscathed. His right sleeve flashed with bursts of black light, and it emitted a swallowing force. This was the source of the black light.
All the golden lightning bolts were sucked into his sleeve in the blink of an eye.
Han Li's brows furrowed slightly when he saw this.
Not only was the Du Tian Divine Lightning extremely destructive, but its nature was also pure Yang, and it had a natural restraining effect on Yin and Ghost Attribute powers. But now, it had been easily absorbed.
Even as these thoughts flashed through his mind, he didn't stop attacking. He made a hand seal, and the two golden swords trembled. Hundreds of golden sword projections emerged, and they hurtled toward the black-robed middle-aged man like clouds and mist.
The black-robed middle-aged man's spear trembled, and the spearhead vibrated rapidly. It transformed into countless black stars, and they shot toward the golden sword projections.
Countless ear-piercing sounds of metal clashing resounded in the nearby void.
At this moment, the Weeping Soul Beast and Jin Tong were also locked in a fierce battle with the two groups of ghost soldiers.
Jin Tong had transformed into his Golden Devouring Immortal form, and he was fighting one of the battle formations.
However, his battle intent didn't seem to be very high. He was only relying on his indestructible body to keep the battle formation at bay, and he wasn't attacking with his full strength.
On the other side, the Weeping Soul Beast was flashing back and forth in another battle formation. She looked very excited, and she grabbed at the void with one hand.
The sky suddenly darkened, and a black claw the size of a small hill appeared out of thin air. It emitted a monstrous black aura, and it slashed toward a cone-shaped battle formation. It was the Nether Ghost Claw.
A monstrous force came crashing down, and the air within a radius of dozens of miles froze instantly, turning into steel. The entire battle formation was also frozen.
However, the next moment, the black light on the battle formation shone brightly, tearing the surrounding force apart.
"Turn!" In the battle formation, a Taiyi realm ghost shouted.
He held a large black flag in his hand, and as he waved it, beams of black light shot out from the flag and into the black light around the battle formation.
The cone-shaped battle formation immediately elongated, and instantly transformed into the form of a black demonic dragon. It strangled the descending black claw, and held it in mid-air, preventing it from descending.
The Weeping Soul Beast was unfazed by the scene, and a smile even appeared at the corner of her mouth. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and spat.
A beam of black light shot out like lightning, and swiftly swept toward the tail end of the Demonic Dragon Battle Formation.
Due to the elongation of the battle formation, the protective black light around the battle formation became much thinner. It was swept by the black light, and after a few violent tremors, it was torn apart.
The black light entered the battle formation like lightning, and wrapped around a few ghosts.
When the Taiyi ghost saw this, he roared and waved the large black flag in his hand. The Demonic Dragon Battle Formation immediately rolled back, and beams of sword-like crystal light shot out, slashing at the black light.
Before the crystal light could reach the ghost, the black light had already brought the ghosts back with it, and they were swallowed by the Weeping Soul Beast.
The Weeping Soul Beast looked intoxicated again, and the black light on its body flickered, becoming slightly thicker.
"This is …" The black-robed middle-aged man who was fighting fiercely with Han Li in the distance saw the Weeping Soul Beast devour the ghosts, and his expression changed.
Taking advantage of the moment when the black-robed man was distracted, Han Li turned into a golden shadow and rushed toward the black-robed man.
At the same time, he quickly made hand signs with both hands, and with a flash of golden light behind him, the Treasure Wheel of Mantra appeared and spun rapidly.
Countless golden ripples appeared, and shrouded the black-robed middle-aged man.
However, as soon as he moved, the black-robed middle-aged man immediately sensed it, and retreated at a speed much faster than Han Li.
The distance between the two of them increased rapidly, and the Treasure Wheel of Mantra's golden ripples did not engulf him.
The black-robed middle-aged man moved like lightning, and in an instant, he fled into the black abyss, and opened his mouth to let out a shrill cry.
The two groups of ghost soldiers who were fighting with the Weeping Soul Beast immediately retreated, and flew toward the black-robed middle-aged man.
"Master, help me capture some ghosts," the Weeping Soul Beast cried out in panic, and immediately chased after the black-robed middle-aged man.
The two ghost battle formations flew past Han Li, and when Han Li heard the Weeping Soul Beast's words, he made hand signs with both hands, and the golden ripples around him suddenly expanded by several times, enveloping nearly a hundred ghosts.
The Treasure Wheel of Mantra had already materialized, and its power had increased greatly. As soon as the golden ripples enveloped them, the ghosts immediately became motionless, and they stopped moving.
The other ghosts in the battle formations ignored their trapped companions, and they continued to fly toward the black-robed middle-aged man, arriving beside him in the blink of an eye.
The black-robed middle-aged man looked deeply at Han Li and the Weeping Soul Beast, and with a flash, he disappeared into the abyss.
The two Ghost Battle Formations immediately followed suit and flew into the abyss.
"What's going on?
Why did these ghosts suddenly retreat? "the Weeping Soul Beast flew over, and it had already transformed back into its human form.
"I don't know," Han Li said with a frown.
During his brief exchange with the black-robed middle-aged man, he discovered that the black-robed middle-aged man's strength was not inferior to his. If the black-robed middle-aged man was guarding this place, he should not have retreated so easily.
Could it be that there's some other reason?
The Weeping Soul Beast flew over, but it paid no attention to the black-robed middle-aged man, and it shouted while drooling, "Master, hurry up and put away the Treasure Wheel of Mantra."
Han Li shook his head with a smile, and he made a hand seal to put away the Treasure Wheel of Mantra.
The ghosts immediately regained their mobility, and they immediately scattered in all directions. However, a black spirit domain enveloped all of them, and they were instantly trapped in a quagmire, unable to move.
The Weeping Soul Beast opened its mouth, and the black spirit domain shrank rapidly. The ghosts within it shrank as well, and they were slowly devoured by the black spirit domain.
In the end, the black spirit domain transformed into a ball of pitch black light the size of a fist, and it flew into its mouth.
The black light on its body immediately flickered violently, and waves of black spirit rippled out into the surroundings, and it only calmed down after a long while.
The aura emanated by the Weeping Soul Beast had grown much stronger, and it was faintly approaching the peak of the early-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.
"Forget it. Even though I don't know why that person suddenly retreated, it's good that he left.
Come, let's go down and see what's in this abyss, "Han Li said as he flew down first.
The Weeping Soul Beast and the Weeping Soul Beast hurriedly followed suit.
However, as soon as the three of them entered the abyss, they immediately felt as if they had fallen into an incomparably huge waterfall. They were enveloped by a wave of power, and they rushed down into the darkness below.
This wave of power was vast and boundless. Even though Han Li and the others were Grand Heavenly Immortals with overwhelming strength, they were powerless before this wave of power. They were immediately swept away, and they plummeted downward.
