"Pfff!"
A streak of piercing crimson light shot forth as the snake's wings were sliced off, and it let loose an anguished wail as its body plummeted into the valley.
At this moment, within the dark green gorge, the ground was covered in shattered corpses of cosmos beasts as far as the eye could see, and jet black blood flowed all over the place. Numerous pools of blood had accumulated at the side of many enormous corpses, and there were even the corpses of some small beasts floating within them. It was like a scene of hell.
The winged snake smashed heavily into a deep pool of blood with a radius of a thousand feet. Its body struggled endlessly, and countless stinking black blood splattered everywhere. A golden bolt of lightning followed closely behind, falling from the sky and smashing into its head. Only then did the snake's body weaken and gradually fall to the ground.
The golden light descended, and a man in a daoist robe was revealed; it was none other than Daoist Xie.
He pulled out his saber from the snake's body, then looked around with an indifferent expression before looking up into the sky.
There were already two huge mountains of corpses piled up at the entrance and the inside of the valley. One couldn't see the end of them at a glance. Under their obstruction, the number of ferocious beasts invading from the ground was greatly reduced. Only a few powerful existences could still rely on their ferocious nature to climb over the mountains of corpses to kill their way over.
Within the valley, the ground had been stained with a vast amount of blood, forming a lake of blood that was close to 50 kilometers in radius. There were countless corpses floating on the surface of the lake, and the air was extremely putrid.
At the center of the lake, there was a white lotus bud that was formed from pure immortal spiritual power. The petals were closed, and Han Li's body was enshrouded within the petals of the lotus bud.
What was most remarkable was that the blood around the lotus bud seemed to have been tainted by immortal spiritual power, and it maintained its bright red color. There were no corpses floating near it, nor was there any putrid odor emanating from it.
In the sky 30km above the lotus bud, Shi Chuankong's entire body was bathed in blood, and his clothes were stained with stains. He held a silver spear in his hand as he fought three enormous and ferocious greater demons at the same time.
Daoist Xie didn't know how many times these ferocious beasts had attacked in the past few months. All he knew was that the lightning armored Dao-soldiers that Han Li had nurtured had been used up half a month ago. Shi Chuankong had also used up all of his talismans and formation plates. Even a few of his magic treasures had been destroyed.
The most troublesome thing was that on the outskirts of the valley, there were still a few Greater Demons that were even stronger than the winged serpent lying dormant, waiting for the two of them to exhaust themselves before launching their final attack.
Daoist Xie looked at Shi Chuankong with a contemplative expression.
In the beginning, he didn't have the slightest bit of trust in him. It was only after they fought side by side a few times that his opinion of him changed slightly. He wasn't sure if this situation would continue.
Right at this moment, a loud rumble resounded!
A white Snow Toad that was over 1,000 feet in size suddenly sprang up from the other side of the mountain of corpses before leaping into the air. It then opened its mouth to expel a vortex of glacial winds that hurtled directly toward Shi Chuankong.
Shi Chuankong had just forced back the Three-headed Devilish Vulture's attack, so he had no time to defend himself and was swept up by the glacial winds.
His body was almost instantly frozen solid by a layer of white ice, and he plummeted toward the ground.
"Sh * t …" Daoist Xie exclaimed as he hurriedly rushed toward the place where he had landed.
These demon beasts had launched a sneak attack earlier than he had anticipated.
A series of massive demon beasts began to emerge from the mountain of corpses on either side. All of them possessed early-golden immortal auras, and the most powerful among them, the Hundred-eyed Devilish Centipede, was a late-golden immortal.
In the past, Shi Chuankong and Daoist Xie would have nothing to fear in the face of such attacks, but they had been battling these demon beasts for over three months now, and they had expended an unimaginable amount of energy.
It wouldn't be difficult for them to escape now, but if they were to continue fighting, the outcome would be dire.
Right at this moment, the sound of a long breath rang out from within the crimson lake, or to put it more accurately, from within the snowy white lotus petal. Immediately thereafter, it was as if someone had just woken up from a nap and yawned.
The sound that was supposed to be as soft as a mosquito was being transmitted by the spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the lotus petal, but it was clearly audible, as if it were ringing in Daoist Xie's heart.
On the other side, in a pool of blood, Shi Chuankong, who was still frozen in a piece of snow-white ice crystal, heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a light sigh, "
"You're finally awake, Brother Li."
In the next instant, dark clouds parted, and a streak of snowy light rose up into the sky from the crimson lake.
From the snow-white lotus bud that suddenly blossomed, a figure soared into the sky like a white rainbow. He flew until he reached a height of ten thousand feet before he stopped.
There was a vast expanse of piercing white light emanating from his body, making it difficult for one to look directly at him.
Upon seeing this humanoid figure, Daoist Xie immediately understood what was going on, and he stopped in his tracks.
The ferocious demonic beasts were also intimidated by this powerful aura, and they all stopped in unison to look up.
The dazzling white light in the sky gradually receded, and Han Li's figure was revealed.
At this moment, he had changed into a set of white robes, and his face had been concealed by the Samsara Temple mask. His skin was as smooth as jade, and he looked quite handsome and handsome like an immortal.
This strange change was not brought about by any means that had been applied to his appearance, but by the aura that he exuded from within his body. He seemed to have taken on a new look, and he gave off an indescribably otherworldly aura.
However, Han Li didn't like this aura very much. The azure light faded from his body, and he returned to his original appearance. However, due to the fact that he had just made a breakthrough, he was unable to suppress the Primordial Unity Jade Immortal spiritual power fluctuations emanating from his body for the time being.
He swept his gaze across the surroundings, and with a slight thought, three Bamboo Cloudswarm Swords appeared with a flash of azure light. They hovered beside him and slowly rotated.
The blades of the swords vibrated slightly, and bursts of tiny golden lightning constantly jumped at the tips of the swords, creating golden sparks. The power of the laws of lightning contained within the swords could no longer be suppressed and was about to be released.
Han Li raised two fingers and gently waved them as he uttered the word "go".
Zzzt!
The three golden lightning flashed violently, leaving behind a scorching aura in the air before disappearing.
In the next moment, the three ferocious beasts that were flying high up in the sky let out miserable howls at the same time. Their heads were enveloped by a sheet of golden lightning, and they exploded into countless pieces with a loud bang. Their charred corpses fell to the ground.
The Snow Toad on the mountain of corpses was the first to sense that something was amiss. It turned around and leaped out of the valley, followed by the other beasts.
Han Li raised an eyebrow as he raised his fists and punched in two different directions.
Bam, bam!
Two gigantic green fist shadows pierced through the air and smashed down with a loud bang!
"Boom!" An explosive sound rang out!
The two mountains of corpses simultaneously felt a tremendous pressure, causing the air to tremble unceasingly. The snow toad that had escaped first was sucked in by the ripples brought about by the fist shadows, bit by bit being pressed under the fist shadows. Its body suddenly exploded, turning into a bloody mess.
The other ferocious beasts were unable to escape, and they exploded and perished one after another. Amongst them, the ferocious beast with the strongest cultivation merely relied on its innate Divine Ability to spit out a few balls of blazing fireballs that hit the fist shadows without causing any harm. In the end, it was similarly crushed miserably.
Shi Chuankong and Daoist Xie had received Han Li's message long ago, and they flew into the air to witness this scene.
With just two simple punches, the two mountains of corpses that had been piled up in the valley for three months were instantly flattened to the ground. Even the entire valley had collapsed and turned into a huge lake of blood.
All of the other beasts that had been blocked by the mountains of corpses fled after seeing that all of the powerful beasts had been slain and that the phenomena of heaven and earth had disappeared.
Han Li flew down and reunited with Shi Chuankong.
"Congratulations, Brother Li, your cultivation base has advanced to the Grand Unity Jade Immortal Stage," Shi Chuankong congratulated with a smile as he cupped his fists in a salute.
"I've been suffering from the Baleful Decline for a long time, and I'm finally free from it today.
I recall that you've also cleansed yourself of your baleful Qi in the Baleful Cleansing Pond, and now that you've returned to the True Immortal Realm, why didn't you immediately make a breakthrough like me? "Han Li asked with a faint smile.
"Brother Li might not know this, but the situation of the people of my clan in breaking through to the next realm is different from yours. Therefore, it's not strange that we don't have the fortuitous encounter that Brother Li has." Shi Chuankong didn't go into detail and said vaguely.
"I see."
Han Li didn't know if Shi Chuankong was referring to the entire Demon Race or his race, so he didn't delve into the subject.
"Brother Li, how do you know that this is the True Immortal Realm?" Shi Chuankong asked with a strange look in his eyes.
"What do you mean, Brother Shi? Is this not the True Immortal Realm?" Han Li asked in surprise.
"To be honest, although this is the True Immortal Realm, it's not the True Immortal Realm," Shi Chuankong said mysteriously.
"Could it be that we're in the True Immortal Realm?" Han Li asked tentatively.
"That's what you people in the True Immortal Realm call it, but we prefer to call it the Sacred Realm," Shi Chuankong nodded and said.
"I've long heard that although the True Immortal Realm is in the True Immortal Realm, it's an independent place. I didn't expect that we would be in the True Immortal Realm today," Han Li said with a smile.
"Actually, I don't know why we suddenly appeared here, but I have a rough guess in my heart," Shi Chuankong said with a slight frown.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, weren't you the one who used that silver pipa to help us break through space and escape?" Han Li asked.
"How could I have that kind of ability?
I believe that there is only one person who can use the power of crossing worlds to activate the Luo Zha Pipa and save us from the Dust World, and that is my father, who is also the Demon Lord you speak of. "Shi Chuang Kong bitterly smiled and slowly said.
When Han Li heard this, he felt as if thunder had exploded in his heart.
Demon Lord?
Isn't it the person who Old Ancestor Mi Luo personally went to the True Immortal Realm to borrow treasures? The person who suppressed many Dao Ancestors and controlled the Demon Race's territory as a Grand Luo Cultivator? The person who was said to be comparable to the Heavenly Court's Time Dao Ancestor?
And Shi Chuankong in front of him was actually the son of the legendary Demon Lord?
