Chapter 763

"Ah …"

Inside the lightning pool, Hot Flame Immortal Monarch let out a heart-wrenching scream with a ferocious expression.

Han Li and the others focused their gazes to discover pillars of azure lightning surging toward them from all directions, piercing straight through Immortal Lord Heat Flame's body.

He looked like a green hedgehog. His entire body was wrapped in green lightning. His clothes were torn and tattered, and his exposed skin was full of cracks. There were scorch marks from being burned by the lightning.

At the same time, all the apertures on his body opened involuntarily, and tiny green lightning threads drilled into them, stirring up the black evil qi that had been entrenched inside for a long time.

Like driving a tiger to devour a wolf, the green lightning that surged into the apertures did not care whether the apertures could withstand it or not, and just kept drilling inside. As a local tyrant, the evil qi naturally did not want to be outdone and condensed to resist the lightning.

However, the lightning in the pool was the Bone Rinsing Golden Lightning, which was extremely effective against baleful aura. Thus, when the two clashed, the black baleful aura immediately collapsed and flowed out of Hot Flame Immortal Monarch's acupoints.

At a glance, one could see that Hot Flame Immortal Venerable's body seemed to be lit with countless sandalwood incense sticks. Strands of black smoke kept coming out of his body, contrasting with the lightning bolts that were flashing with azure light, forming a very strange scene.

Seeing this, Han Li's tense heartstrings calmed down a little.

After observing for a while, he could confirm that Old Ancestor Liu Qi was really helping them deal with the lightning pool.

"Time is pressing, let's get started." Han Li looked at Shi Chuankong and Old Ancestor Liu Qi.

The two of them nodded their heads. Just as they were about to enter the Lightning Pool, they suddenly heard a violent roar.

Everyone's gazes moved towards Hot Flame Immortal Venerable at the same time, they saw him raising his head and clenching his fists towards the sky, as if he was roaring. Black baleful qi gushed out of his eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and other orifices, covering his entire face, turning it blurry.

However, there was no longer any baleful aura surging out from his body in the lightning pool. The cracks on his skin began to glow with a scarlet light that was like lava, emitting waves of scorching aura.

"Whoosh!" Hot Flame Immortal Venerable's body suddenly burst into flames and began to burn intensely.

In the blink of an eye, both of his legs had been completely charred. He was struck by a bolt of lightning and turned into ashes.

Hot Flame Immortal Venerable's body suddenly dropped, his upper body also falling into the lightning pool.

Han Li frowned upon seeing this. The Wheel of Mantra in his body rotated rapidly. With a flash, he arrived at the edge of the Fiery Cleansing Pool and stretched out his arms to grab Hot Flame Immortal Venerable.

"Don't waste your energy. His body is already riddled with holes. After the baleful aura escapes, he won't be able to resist the power of thunder and lightning. You won't be able to save him," Old Ancestor Liu Qi suddenly said in a calm tone.

Han Li turned a deaf ear to him and still insisted on reaching his arms into the lightning pool to grab Hot Flame Immortal Venerable.

As soon as his arms entered the range of the lightning pool, countless blue lightning bolts immediately gathered, instantly pulverizing his sleeves and wrapping around his skin.

Han Li only felt his heart palpitate. An incomparably violent power of thunder and lightning penetrated into his body. In an instant, the baleful aura in his body that he had been suppressing for a long time almost went berserk on the spot.

He let out a roar and immediately operated the Spirit Refinement Art to forcibly suppress the violent thoughts that suddenly emerged in his mind. Golden scales appeared on both of his arms at the same time.

However, it was just a moment of delay, and it was already too late.

The moment Han Li's hands touched the remains of Hot Flame Immortal Venerable's body, it collapsed again and directly turned into ashes.

Han Li looked on at the specks of greyish-white embers flying past his palm, and he immediately made a grabbing motion upward in an attempt to save Immortal Lord Hot Flame's Nascent Soul.

However, the moment the body collapsed, the exposed Nascent Soul was struck by several lightning bolts and also collapsed.

Han Li only managed to grab a wisp of remnant soul and returned.

All of this seemed to take a long time, but in fact, it only took a few breaths. By the time Hu San and Old Ancestor Liu Qi reacted, Han Li had already returned.

After he stood still, he slowly opened his palm with a solemn expression.

In the center of his palm, a layer of hazy blue light enveloped a blurry five inches tall figure. The figure flickered between light and darkness, swaying like a candle in the wind, on the verge of collapse.

"Sorry, Daoist Hot Flame, I can't save you …" Han Li said with a sigh.

"Daoist Li, don't blame yourself … It's fate, it's fate … You can't blame others …" Hot Flame Immortal Venerable's remnant soul could no longer speak, so he could only communicate with Han Li through his Divine Soul.

"This remnant soul is too weak, I'm afraid I can't help you even if I wanted to. After a while, the astral wind will blow and it will dissipate.

Daoist Hot Flame, if you have any last wishes, just say it. "Han Li sighed softly and said slowly.

"The reason for the destruction of Truth Sect has been clarified, and Master is in such a state, I have nothing to worry about in this world. It's a pity that I can't return to Wild Crane Valley. I wonder if this remnant soul can re-enter the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation?

Can I return to the Immortal World one day? "Hot Flame Immortal Venerable's remnant soul became more and more illusory as he smiled bitterly.

"The Heavenly Dao is impermanent, if I can reincarnate, it's the same everywhere …" Han Li replied.

"Previously, I said that I could leave my Natal Magic Treasure to Daoist Li, but unfortunately, this Thunder Pool is too overbearing. I can't leave anything behind. Please accept this last thing …" Hot Flame Immortal Venerable's Divine Soul became weaker and weaker until it completely disappeared.

The four-inch man also slowly dissipated, and finally, only a rice grain of red light shot out and fell into the space between Han Li's eyebrows.

Han Li felt a scorching heat in his sea of consciousness. When he checked it, he discovered that there were densely packed crimson characters in it. At the head of the scroll was the "Time Splitting Flowing Flame Collection". It was obvious that it was the fire attribute time cultivation technique passed down from the Flowing Fire Palace of the Truth Sect.

Hu San and the others saw Hot Flame Immortal Venerable disappear, and Han Li seemed to have fallen into a state of absent-mindedness for a while. No one spoke to urge him.

Old Ancestor Liu Qi had already retracted his Divine Ability and squinted his eyes to look at this side.

After a while, Han Li seemed to come back to his senses. He gently rubbed his empty palms, glanced at the scars on his arms caused by the lightning, and sighed softly.

"Let's go," he said.

Seeing that Hot Flame Immortal Venerable could not withstand the power of the Thunder Pool and almost died, Shi Chuankong's eyes flashed a hint of hesitation, but when he saw that Han Li had already leaped up and landed in a corner of the Thunder Pool, he no longer hesitated and quickly walked over.

Seeing this, Old Ancestor Liu Qi's giant tail once again curled up the green chain and used the same trick, attracting a large amount of green lightning to him.

When the sound in the Thunder Pool slowed down, Han Li had already landed in the Thunder Pool.

"Zzz …"

As soon as his body entered the Thunder Pool, a violent sound of thunder and lightning came immediately.

Han Li first felt a numbing itch on his skin, followed by an intense burning pain. It was as if thousands of red-hot soldering irons were pressed against his skin at the same time, almost setting his skin and flesh on fire.

"Ugh …" Han Li let out a muffled groan, trying hard not to cry out.

On the other side of the Thunder Pool, there was a heart-wrenching scream at the same time, and Hu San's scream was the loudest.

Han Li clenched his teeth, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, but he still endured the intense burning pain all over his body, and did not use any magical power to resist the invasion of the lightning on his body.

He knew that only when more lightning entered his body could he get rid of the evil qi entrenched in his body as soon as possible.

But after just a few breaths, his skin became blood-red, and his veins bulged as if they were about to burst at any time. But his skin remained intact, and did not crack like the Hot Flame Immortal Venerable.

Han Li knew that this was the result of his diligent cultivation of the Great Heavenly Cycle Star Art. It was because of the foundation laid by the Xuan Immortal Physique, and the continuous training of his body, that his body could withstand the violent attacks of the lightning.

Pillars of lightning were like spears, constantly attacking his body. Traces of electricity began to penetrate his skin, invading his body, and drilling into his acupoints.

"One, two, three …" Han Li's divine sense guarded his sea of consciousness, and he silently counted in his heart.

As his acupoints were attacked by the lightning, the Immortal Apertures in his body opened up one after another, and his body began to emit black evil qi like the Hot Flame Immortal Venerable.

But there was something different, the speed at which the evil qi emitted from Han Li's body was clearly much slower.

At this time, the Weeping Soul was standing not far away from the Lightning Pool. It had already stopped recovering, and its eyes were full of worry as it looked at Han Li.

The Old Ancestor Liu Qi glanced at her and said, "Little girl, don't worry too much about him. The slow speed of the evil qi isn't a bad thing. It means that the opening and closing of his acupoints are still under his control. It would be troublesome if he couldn't defend himself like the previous person."

The Weeping Soul silently nodded at him and did not say anything.

The old fox no longer looked at him and turned his gaze to Hu San.

At this time, Hu San was drenched in sweat. He gritted his teeth, and his eyes were tightly shut. His body was also surrounded by evil qi.

The evil qi emitted from his body was a lot faster than Han Li's, but the number of acupoints emitting black smoke was a lot less. Moreover, the evil qi emitted from his body was not as thick as Han Li's, and it was even weaker than Shi Chuankong's.

Hu San's situation was not the same as Han Li's. Both of them had experienced the Evil Decay. Other than being corroded by the evil qi in the Dust World, they also had the original evil qi in their bodies. They were in a difficult situation, both internally and externally.

However, Hu San was already a Taiyi Jade Immortal, so he only needed to get rid of the evil qi that invaded his body and caused his foundation to be unstable.

However, in terms of physique, his body was not as strong as Han Li's, nor was it as strong as Shi Chuankong's, who was originally a demon. Thus, it was also very difficult for him to endure the Evil Cleansing Lightning Pool.

On the other side, apart from the evil qi surging around Shi Chuankong's body, there were also wisps of black demonic qi leaking out.

Under his curly snow-white hair, his facial features had become extremely sinister. His jagged fangs protruded out of his mouth, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth. Black scales also appeared on his body, and he was almost about to reveal his true appearance as a demon.
