Chapter 1300

Right at this moment, a beam of black light descended from the sky, enveloping the drifting white smoke and emitting a powerful suction force.

The drifting smoke immediately surged toward the black light. Although the white balls of light struggled with all their might in an attempt to escape, they were all helplessly sucked away by the black light in the end.

A few breaths later, all of the smoke and white balls of light were devoured.

The black light rapidly shrank, and the Weeping Soul's figure appeared in a flash.

Her aura had risen by quite a bit, but it was still a little unstable and tumbling.

"Are you alright?" Han Li looked at the Weeping Soul and asked.

"I'm fine. The ghostly energy contained within this famine is too vast, and it's filled with a violent aura. I'll need some time to refine it," the Weeping Soul replied before immediately sitting down cross-legged on the ground.

Shi Chuankong and the others flew over as well.

"Friend Han, it's been a while since we last met. I didn't think that your cultivation would have already reached such a level. You've left old friends like us far behind."

A complicated look flashed through Shi Chuankong's eyes. It seemed to be a mixture of envy and reluctance, but it was mostly admiration.

He had been cultivating arduously in the Devil Realm all these years, and even with the help of Daoist Xie and a lot of resources, he had only just reached the Grand Celestial Realm.

"Han just had some fortuitous encounters. With your aptitude, you'll soon surpass me," Han Li said with a faint smile.

Shi Chuankong pursed his lips and turned away from Han Li.

Violet Spirit and Jin Tong stared blankly at Han Li, unable to say a word.

"What are you two doing? Don't you recognize me?" Han Li shook his head with a smile.

"I've never seen an uncle like you before," Jin Tong said with a smile.

"Alright, stop joking around. The Weeping Soul is currently cultivating to refine the famine's ghostly energy, and it'll take some time. Let's wait for her," Han Li said.

Jin Tong and Violet Spirit agreed and sat down next to him.

"With you here, Friend Han, there's nothing to be afraid of." Shi Chuankong chuckled and sat down as well.

Han Li also walked to the side and waited for the Weeping Soul.

"I had initially overestimated your strength, but it seems that I've still underestimated you.

Friend Han, how strong are you now? "The Ghost Witch's voice rang in his ears.

"No comment. You can do whatever you want," Han Li replied calmly.

Ghost Sorcerer laughed dryly and fell silent again, not saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, two days passed. During these two days, many ghost beasts attacked, but Famine didn't appear again.

Black light revolved around the Weeping Soul Beast's body, and its chaotic aura quickly calmed down.

After another day passed, the Weeping Soul Beast suddenly opened its eyes and let out a long howl. Its howl was like the howl of a phoenix, yet also like the howl of a tiger. It was clear and resounding, and it shook the nearby sky to the point it rumbled incessantly.

Shi Chuankong and the others were jolted awake, and they gazed at Weeping Soul.

At this moment, she was surrounded by black light, and her aura was stronger than before.

What was even more peculiar was that a series of black veined patterns had appeared on the Weeping Soul Beast's skin, and they looked a little similar to the bloodline spirit patterns of some true spirits.

Moreover, a blurry black shadow appeared behind her, but it was unknown what it was.

A hint of surprise also appeared on Han Li's face upon seeing this.

That blurry black shadow gave him a very mysterious feeling.

"It seems that the Xing Beast bloodline within her has begun to awaken." Ghost Shaman's voice sounded in Han Li's mind again.

"Xing Beast bloodline?

From what you said, could it be that the Xing Beasts are a race? "Han Li's eyes flashed as he transmitted his voice to Ghost Shaman.

He already knew that the Weeping Soul Beast was a Xing Beast, but he hadn't been able to find out what a Xing Beast was.

"Of course, the Xing Beast is a mysterious race of the Nether Realm. They live in the depths of the Nether Realm and rarely appear in the world. Back then, the Netherworld King, I, and Xue Li ruled over the three realms.

The Xing Beast's innate divine ability is extremely powerful, and its name resounds throughout the realms. Friend Han, you may be powerful now, but if the Weeping Soul Beast completely awakens its Xing Beast bloodline, you may not be able to block its innate divine ability, "Ghost Shaman chuckled.

"Is that so?

Then I'll have to wait and see, "Han Li said.

The Weeping Soul Beast quickly stopped howling, stood up, and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry for making Fellow Daoist Shi and Fellow Daoist Violet Spirit wait for me for three days."

Although the Weeping Soul Beast had been cultivating for the past three days, it hadn't lost contact with the outside world.

"You're too polite, Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul Beast. Since we're on the same path, it's only natural for us to support each other. Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Weeping Soul Beast's strength has improved greatly," Shi Chuankong said with a smile, but his heart was filled with bitterness.

Han Li's strength far surpassed his, and now it seemed that the Weeping Soul Beast's strength was above his as well.

That Jin Tong hadn't made a move yet, and he was acting mysteriously. He didn't look like a simple character either, which made Shi Chuankong even more wary of underestimating him.

"We've stopped here for a long time already. Let's go," Han Li said.

The others naturally had no objections, and the group continued forward.

With Han Li's fearsome strength to rely on, the group sped up their advance.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, and the group arrived at the center of the Hundred Ghost Forest.

All along the way, even though they encountered some Ghost Beasts, they were all killed casually. They even encountered another Desolate Soul along the way, and its strength was slightly weaker than the previous one. Han Li killed it casually again and allowed the Weeping Soul Beast to devour it.

The Yin Qi in the center of the Hundred Ghost Forest was even denser, and some spirit herbs unique to the Nether Realm had started to appear.

Han Li's group's objective wasn't here, so they didn't spend any effort to search for treasures, and they were fully concentrated on their journey.

Near a mountain range in the center of the forest, rumbling sounds and sharp howls resounded once more.

Two figures, one white and one black, were locked in an intense battle. It was the Weeping Soul Beast and another Desolate Soul Beast.

This Desolate Soul Beast was similar to the two Desolate Souls they'd encountered before, and it was also ghastly white in color. However, its cultivation was stronger than the two Desolate Souls from before.

The figures of the two grew faster and faster, and they gradually intertwined with each other until it was difficult to distinguish one from the other. Intense black and white lights interweaved together to form an explosive vortex.

The entire sky shook violently, and countless thin and long white scars strangely appeared in the surrounding space before shooting out in all directions.

The nearby forest was directly razed to the ground and the clouds in the sky were torn apart.

At this time, Han Li stood in the skies above a giant tree outside the battlefield, calmly looking ahead. He didn't do anything.

Shi Chuankong, Jintong, and the others also stood nearby to watch the battle. This was also what the Weeping Soul Beast had requested.

"I never thought that fellow daoist Weeping Soul Beast would be able to deal with a Desolate Soul by himself." Shi Chuankong sighed.

"The Weeping Soul Beast's supernatural abilities are specialized in dealing with ghosts, so it can deal with this Desolate Soul … victory and defeat have already been decided." Han Li lightly said.

Before his voice fell, the black and white vortex in front of him exploded with black light, suppressing the white light.

A blurry black shadow appeared in the black light; it was the phantom that had appeared behind the Weeping Soul Beast. At this time, the black shadow was much clearer than before, and one could faintly make out that it was a giant black ape.

An inexplicable fluctuation covered the Desolate Soul Beast in the white light. The Desolate Soul Beast revealed a look of horror. It turned to flee, but it was already too late.

Not too long after it flew out, its head split open and a ghostly white light flew out, swallowed up by the giant black ape phantom.

With a loud bang, the Desolate Soul Beast burst apart, turning into thick ghost fog that drifted in all directions.

"This is the beastkin's life supernatural ability. It seems to be an attack that directly affects the divine soul." Han Li thought as he saw this from afar.

"Soul devouring … it is truly worthy of being called the strongest divine soul attack technique." Ghost Witch's voice rang out once more, filled with praise.

Han Li's divine soul was formidable. He could feel the shock that the Weeping Soul Beast's' soul devouring 'attack brought to his divine soul. He couldn't help but frown.

His comprehension of the Time Laws had reached large success. No matter what strange attack it was, he was confident he could effectively resist it. But, divine soul attacks were an exception.

Divine soul attacks were completely different from Laws; it was extremely difficult for Laws to interfere with them.

Because of his soul refining technique, the strength of his divine sense and the strength of his divine soul far surpassed that of others. But, facing a soul devouring attack that completely surpassed this, wanting to resist it wasn't easy at all.

As he pondered, the giant black ape phantom vanished in a flash. It seemed like it wouldn't be able to exist for long.

However, the black light that the Weeping Soul Beast had transformed into began to revolve and transform into an enormous black vortex that emanated an enormous suction force.

The ghost energy in the surroundings surged into the vortex, and it was completely devoured in a few breaths of time.

The black vortex shrank rapidly and vanished without a trace. The Weeping Soul Beast's figure appeared once more, and its aura had risen greatly.

One after another, black specks of light appeared densely around it. There were a total of 839 of them, and they were shockingly at the peak of the early-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm.

Black veins appeared on the surface of its body again, and they were much clearer than before.

The Weeping Soul Beast revealed a pleasantly surprised expression when it saw the state of its body.

Han Li and the others flew over and landed near the Weeping Soul Beast.

"Weeping Soul Beast, you're amazing. What divine ability was that black ape phantom? It was simply a one-hit kill," Jintong praised.

"Do you need time to refine it?" Han Li was also delighted when he sensed the Weeping Soul Beast's aura.

"No need. For some reason, the backlash from absorbing Desolate Soul's ghost power isn't strong. I can suppress it. There's no need to waste everyone's time. Let's set off as soon as possible." The Weeping Soul Beast retracted the black radiance around its body, and the black veins in its immortal aperture immediately vanished.

"Is it because the Xing Beast bloodline is awakening … Alright." Han Li nodded.

The group then continued forward.

However, not long after they set off, Ghost Shaman suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Han Li asked via voice transmission.

"It's an opportunity, it's really an opportunity!

Friend Han, advance to the left! "Ghost Shaman urged.

Han Li frowned slightly, but he still followed Ghost Shaman's instructions and flew in that direction.

Although Shi Chuankong and the others were puzzled as to why Han Li suddenly changed directions, they did not ask anything and immediately followed.

After a few breaths of time, Han Li followed Ghost Shaman's guidance and arrived at a shady place on a black mountain peak.

There was a pool here, the pool water was dark green and emitted dense yin qi.

Beside the pool was a gravel field, on which a cluster of unusually green bamboo grew, swaying in the wind.

"You were shocked earlier because of these bamboos?" Han Li landed near the pool and looked at the cluster of green bamboo.

These green bamboos were filled with yin qi, but that was all, there was nothing special about them.
