Chapter 827

Han Li looked calm on the surface, but he was secretly shocked.

Immediately afterward, a crystalline light shone from his glabella again, and a translucent Spiritual Sense Sword shot out again.

Before the Divine Will Sword could reach him, the light in Sage Reflecting Bone's eyes faded the moment he saw it. A hint of unwillingness and despair flashed in his eyes as he muttered, "How is this possible? How is this possible?"

In the next instant, the Divine Will Sword easily pierced through the bone shield and shot into Sage Reflecting Bone's forehead.

When the sword flew into Sage Reflecting Bone's consciousness, Han Li was shocked to find that Sage Reflecting Bone's consciousness was almost depleted. The little man's light was dim. He looked like a candle in the wind that was about to fall.

It was obvious that he had suffered some kind of severe injury before. His soul was extremely unstable.

That surprised him. After all, it was not easy to injure a Zenith Heaven cultivator's soul.

Even though the attack he executed earlier had injured his opponent, it had also caused him to lose consciousness for a long time. However, according to his estimations, that attack of his was unable to cause such severe damage to his opponent's soul.

Han Li thought quickly, but he did not hesitate at all.

As he shouted, the Sword of Divine Sense reappeared in his sea of consciousness. The sword slashed down, and Reverend Shine Bone's soul was torn apart without any resistance. Then, it dissipated.

Sage Reflecting Bone's body froze, and he stopped moving.

Shi Chuankong had just finished setting up the Silver Firmament Twin Mirrors. He did not know what happened, but when he saw an opportunity, he immediately shone the mirrors on Sage Reflecting Bone's body.

He crossed his hands in front of him, and the formation in the void flashed with silver light. The two round mirrors switched positions, and a powerful force of space distorted.

However, Sage Reflecting Bone's Zenith Heaven body was extremely strong, and his bones were as hard as metal. In the distorted space, his bones only twisted a little, and he did not suffer any actual damage.

Shi Chuankong tried a few times, but he was actually unable to crush it.

Han Li waved a hand upon seeing this, and an intricate black bone ring slid down from Daoist Master Reflecting Bone's finger before flying into his hand. A silver Fire Raven shot forth from his shoulder before entering Daoist Master Reflecting Bone's body, instantly engulfing it.

Shi Chuankong heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.

He had witnessed the might of the Refined Flame Bird before. However, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for it to directly pose a threat to a Zenith Heaven Realm cultivator. It couldn't even break through the protective aura.

The raging silver flame burned fiercely, emitting a series of sizzling sounds. Han Li stared at the flame, lost in thought.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?" Shi Chuankong asked.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about what that old man Zhao Gu had said before. Just what did he mean?" Han Li replied after a moment of silence.

"Who cares? In any case, this fellow can no longer pose a threat to us." Shi Chuankong laughed.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Silver Firebird returned, and Reflecting Bone had already turned into ashes.

The Fire Raven's body rapidly shrank before landing in Han Li's palm. He spat out a five-colored finger bone relic from its mouth.

Han Li's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he kept it without batting an eyelid.

"Let's go. Let's hurry to Yang Ye City." Han Li glanced at Shi Chuankong and said.

"Alright."

Shi Chuankong replied, and then he flashed up into the sky.

Han Li put away the Refined Flame Fire Raven and followed closely behind him.

In the end, Shi Chuankong stopped in front of the irregular object in the sky.

"Why did you stop?" Han Li asked.

"We're here." Shi Chuankong said.

"You're saying that this is Yang Ye City?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and asked.

"That's a long story. In short, this divine object is called the Space Realm Key. It's the gateway to Yang Ye City and other spaces in the Holy Region," Shi Chuankong said mysteriously.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly before an enlightened look appeared on his face, and he said, "No wonder I felt that this thing was quite strange. It seemed to be right in front of me, yet also seemed to be far away at the same time. So it turns out that it's situated at the intersection of multiple spaces, and it's no wonder you said that even a Daolord wouldn't be able to do anything to it."

"Let's go. We'll enter the city now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Chuankong revealed a smile on his face. With a flip of his palm, he took out a specially made black magic inscription token and pressed it down on the black cross-section of the lowest branch.

After the black mageweath token was attached to the black crystal-like cross-section, it was immediately attracted like a magnet, and then slowly integrated into the cross-section.

Then, a black light lit up and a strong spatial fluctuation came from it.

Shi Chuankong glanced at Han Li and faintly smiled before taking the lead and stepping into the formation.

Han Li looked at it for a moment and also walked in.

Then, the black light faded and the two disappeared. The strange polyhedron also returned to its original state.

Han Li was struck by a rush of dizziness as bursts of spatial power tore at him from all directions. This was similar to the feeling he'd had when he'd used the teleportation formation, but it was a lot more powerful.

However, this feeling didn't last for long. Soon, he found himself in a bright space.

A scorching sun hung in the sky, sprinkling down brilliant light. The ground below was covered with low hills and green grass. The sky was high and the ground was wide. It was a refreshing sight.

Moreover, the Devil Qi here was extremely dense, almost twice as dense as outside. Purplish-black clouds appeared in the air. They were obviously formed by Devil Qi.

In contrast, the World Spirit Qi here was much thinner.

"Brother Shi, this is the space where Yang Ye City is located." Han Li looked around and seemed to sigh.

Shi Chuankong took a deep breath and said, "That's right. This place is called the Yang Ye Realm. It's a space that my father personally created. We're finally back."

As he spoke, he summoned the Crow Divinity Flying Shuttle, which carried the two of them forward.

"A space that was created?" Han Li was shocked.

It was not too difficult to open up a small-scale Arcane Realm, and he could do it with his current ability. He just needed to spend a lot of time and materials, and that was only to create a relatively stable and rigid space.

But this space in front of him was different. It was no different from the Devil Domain outside. It contained the sun, moon, stars, and the movement of heaven and earth.

He sighed inwardly. The Lord of the Devil Domain's heaven-defying methods were not something he could imagine or compare to.

However, his heart was filled with endless fighting spirit and yearning. As long as he continued to cultivate, he might be able to reach that realm in the future.

Shi Chuankong frowned. "It will take about half a month to get to Yang Ye City. We've been delayed for too long. We need to pick up the pace." He felt that the Crow Divinity Flying Shuttle was too slow.

He flicked his sleeve, and a popping sound could be heard as a violet talisman flew out. It glowed brightly and then exploded with countless violet magical symbols, which submerged the Crow Divinity Flying Shuttle and then attached itself to it.

The front of the Crow Divinity Flying Shuttle curved, transforming into the shape of a bird's head. Violet light flashed and a pair of thirty-meter-long violet wings appeared.

With a droning sound, the Crow Divinity Flying Shuttle's speed increased by nearly 50%. It transformed into a violet streak of light that shot forward at lightning speed.

When Han Li saw this, he warned, "Fellow Daoist Shi, since your brothers and sisters know that our destination is Yang Ye City, the road ahead may not be safe. It would be best to be careful."

Shi Chuankong laughed and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Li. If we were outside, we would naturally have to be careful.

However, this is the Nighthawk Realm, and everything within a radius of millions of miles is within the range of Father's Heavenless Law Eye. Those people won't dare to cause trouble here, so we're completely safe here, "Shi Chuankong said with a hearty laugh.

When Han Li heard this, he was shocked by the Devil Lord's abilities, but he also felt a bit awkward.

He wasn't used to being watched by others all day.

Shi Chuankong seemed to see through Han Li's apprehension and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, don't worry. Imperial Father is only monitoring the Yang Ye Realm to ensure stability. He won't investigate everything."

Han Li nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, there are some things I haven't asked you. Now that we're almost at Yang Ye City, I hope you can answer my doubts."

"If you have something to say, then go ahead." Shi Chuankong didn't seem surprised. It was as if he had already expected Han Li to ask such a question.

"You're going to Yang Ye City to participate in something important, right?

You've gone through untold hardships to bring the Luo Zha Pipa back to Yang Ye City, and your brothers and sisters want to take it from you. Is this also the reason? "Han Li's eyes flickered.

Shi Chuankong paused for a moment and said, "I originally planned to explain this matter to you when we arrived at Yang Ye City. But since you've asked, I'll tell you.

You are right. I have returned to Sun City for an important matter. This matter concerns the lives of millions of people in the Holy Realm. I must deliver the Luo Zha's Pipa safely, "Shi Chuankong said after a moment of silence.

"Oh? What is it?" Han Li asked in surprise.

"The election of the next Holy Lord." Shi Chuankong smiled.

"The election of the next Holy Lord? Could it be that your Imperial Father is going to abdicate?" Han Li was surprised.

When one's cultivation reached the True Immortal realm, their lifespan was basically limitless. Unless they encountered an accident or a calamity like the Celestial Decay, there wouldn't be a change in power. Did something happen to the Demon Lord?

"Father has been in charge of the Sacred Region for many years, so there shouldn't be such a problem. It's just that he suddenly announced many years ago that he wants to select the next Holy Lord, and no one knows the specific reason." Shi Chuankong frowned. It was obvious that he was also puzzled by the Holy Lord's decision.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, are you returning to Yang Ye City to fight for the position of Holy Lord?" Han Li's heart stirred.
