Chapter 1018: Seeing Yuan Guang Again

"You speak quite frankly, without any beating around the bush. Since you have such determination and can help this Holy Ancestor escape from here, I can help you perform the Demon Infusion once. But I must state the ugly truth first: given your situation, you have at most a fifty percent chance of advancing after the infusion. However, our Holy Race originally has a lifespan far exceeding you cultivators; even if you fail to advance, your lifespan will still increase significantly after the infusion. You will still have a chance to advance to the Spirit Transformation stage on your own." After the black wolf head swept its gaze over the big-headed freak, it spoke with its usual expression.

"Fifty percent? Even if it were only ten percent, I, Ye, would still take the gamble. Just tell me how to help you escape," the big-headed freak said with a wild laugh, without the slightest hesitation.

"Good, this Holy Ancestor will get straight to the point. The Fusion Spirit Art has reached its current stage; as long as that wolf soul returns to this body, I will be unable to resist merging with her without any spellcasting. The only way to prevent this is to destroy the wolf soul. However, the place where the Silver Moon wolf soul sleeps has the Extinction Great Array personally set up by the three Mount Kunwu elders back then. This array is composed of eighty-one Demon-Slaying Blades; anyone carrying demonic Qi who approaches that area will be hacked into meat paste by the combined power of these giant blades and the array. Blood Flame cannot break this array. Although I observe that the cultivation technique you practice is not a righteous path, it is definitely not a wicked demonic art either, so the task of destroying the wolf soul can only be entrusted to you. As long as this matter is accomplished, the Demon Infusion is on me." The black wolf head's voice was clearly the same as before, but to the big-headed freak's ears, it was filled with endless temptation. He stared fixedly at the giant wolf, his expression shifting uncertainly.

"Where is that wolf soul?" After a moment, this Ye family freak gritted his teeth and said, showing no intention of bargaining at all.

"Fellow Daoist Ye is indeed a smart man! Of the two teleportation arrays you were teleported in through, the other one leads to the palace where the wolf soul is housed." Seeing that the freak did not haggle over anything, the black wolf head revealed a hint of appreciation in its eyes and spoke cleanly and efficiently.

"If it's that teleportation array, the fellows from the Poison Saint Gate have already gone in ahead of time, which is a bit troublesome. But if I strike from the shadows, dealing with them will be an easy task. I will head over there now and destroy that wolf soul." The big-headed freak muttered two sentences, then pinched a spell with both hands. A flash of spiritual light from the teleportation array beneath his feet, and he was truly teleported away.

Immediately, only the Ancient Demon remained near the teleportation array.

"Just now, in front of the human cultivators, it wasn't convenient to ask you anything. Now you can tell me, how many demonic treasures have you collected?" As soon as the freak's figure disappeared, the black wolf head's gaze suddenly sank. A cold, chilling aura erupted, and the chains on its body hummed instantly, simultaneously releasing countless pitch-black thorns that pierced deeply into the giant wolf's body.

Yet the black wolf head's expression did not change in the slightest, as if it were completely turning a blind eye.

"Reporting to the Holy Ancestor, I have already found five demonic treasures that our clansmen left behind in the human world!" The Ancient Demon bowed, becoming even more respectful.

"Five demonic treasures, that should barely be enough. Set them up immediately. Although I can only control half the magic power of this body right now, as long as I struggle free, it will be enough to break the Black Wind Banner's restriction. Even if it is a Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, without a master to preside over it, it is nothing more than a dead object," the black wolf head said sinisterly.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the Ancient Demon did not hesitate. Its four arms waved in the void, and with a flash of black light, four pitch-black demonic treasures appeared in its palms: an ink mirror, a blood-colored command arrow, a jade lotus, and a grayish-white ring.

Then, one of the Ancient Demon's heads opened its large mouth and spat out a pitch-black small bottle.

As soon as these five magic treasures appeared, they immediately began to spin incessantly above the ancient demon's head.

One of the Ancient Demon's heads let out a long howl, and then black light flashed wildly around its body. With a tremor of the five demonic treasures, they flew directly toward the sky where the giant wolf was located.

The restrictions in the sky immediately sensed something, and simultaneously, spiritual light erupted, with various colors of light flashing incessantly. The entire sky seemed to come alive in this instant.

Han Li naturally did not know that a giant ancient demon was about to break free from the Demon-Suppressing Tower. He was currently standing at the entrance of the Mount Kunwu Hall, looking at the situation inside the hall, his face full of a strange expression.

"Arctic Yuan Light, how could this thing appear here?" Han Li muttered, his gaze circling several times over the dense silver light threads ahead. He confirmed once more that these things were indeed exactly the same as what he had seen in the Fallen Demon Valley, only these light threads were not emitted from any rock, but were spewing out from over a hundred stone pillars in the hall, each thick enough for a person to embrace. They had submerged the entire hall, making it impossible to see what was at the back of the hall at all.

Just at this moment, a wild laugh suddenly came from behind Han Li, sounding extremely distant yet incredibly arrogant.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I wonder if you intend to jump into the Arctic Origin Light voluntarily, or if you would prefer to wait a while and let us send you on your way with our magic treasures!"

Listening to the voice, it was actually the voice of that Old Demon Qian.

Han Li frowned and looked back.

He saw that through the giant hall gate, he could vaguely see that of the two rows of Gold Magnetic Spirit Wood in the distance, only a dozen or so remained. Old Demon Qian and the others, along with the Silver-Winged Nightcha and a few other monsters, had actually chased up to the hall gate as well.

While they continued to bombard the last giant trees with their treasures, they looked at Han Li through the hall gate, each with a different expression.

Except for those monsters who knew of the Arctic Yuan Light's existence from the start, the others were all experienced people. Almost as soon as they saw the situation in the stone hall from afar, they all recognized the Arctic Yuan Light.

The result was naturally a mix of joy and sorrow for most.

The joy was that with the Arctic Yuan Light blocking the way, Han Li could not enter the hall first to take the treasures. The sorrow was naturally that they seemed equally unable to pass through this suddenly appearing Arctic Yuan Light restriction; how to take the treasures later was a headache-inducing matter.

It was Old Demon Qian whose voice was flickering, laughing wildly as if he didn't care at all.

For cultivators who were unprepared, this Arctic Yuan Light was truly a dead end; no wonder the old demon had such a gloating expression.

Han Li snorted coldly. He turned back and patted the storage bag at his waist. A pitch-black ring flew out from the bag, and after circling once, it expanded wildly in the wind above his head, turning into a giant ring with a diameter of about a zhang.

Runes flashed on this ring, appearing quite extraordinary; it was exactly one of the Two-Yi Rings.

Han Li calmly pointed at the giant ring, and the object immediately covered him from above. At the same time, he quickly cast a spell on it, and a murky light shield instantly appeared on the ring, protecting Han Li tightly within it.

Seeing this scene, Old Demon Qian's loud laughter stopped abruptly. The cultivators and monsters behind him were also stunned, all showing expressions of disbelief.

"Could it be that this person really has a way to break through the Arctic Yuan Light!" This thought could not help but surface in everyone's mind, and even their actions of pinching spells to urge their magic treasures to attack the Gold Magnetic Spirit Wood slowed down.

As a result, under their witness, Han Li's figure flickered. Carrying the light shield, he charged head-on into the dense silver light threads. All the Arctic Yuan Light that shot onto the inconspicuous light shield strangely took a turn, automatically avoiding Han Li.

At this, everyone stared at each other, dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, Han Li's figure was submerged by the Arctic Yuan Light, disappearing without a trace.

"Hurry up and act, don't let this brat really take away the treasures!" The Silver-Winged Nightcha finally woke up from the shock, letting out a sharp shout, its face becoming twisted and ferocious.

"Even if we act faster, what's the use? There's still that Arctic Yuan Light blocking the way!" Ge Ge Tianhao also said with a livid face.

"Hmph! The Arctic Yuan Light might be able to stump others, but wanting to stop this old man is just a pipe dream." Old Demon Qian let out an extremely cold snort. Immediately, the white giant shadow transformed by the Five-Child Demon suddenly leaped, ignoring the remaining Gold Magnetic Spirit Wood, and shot directly toward the hall gate.

"Great Elder, you..." Ge Ge Tianhao and the others were startled, unable to help but whisper.

As a result, as soon as the giant white shadow entered the magnetic field range of the remaining Gold Magnetic Spirit Wood, a giant force immediately pressed down, pulling the white shadow to the ground and making it difficult to move an inch.

"Hi!" A thunderous roar came from the white shadow's mouth. Immediately, the white shadow's light converged, and a blood shadow that seemed almost invisible shot out from the white shadow. After flying for more than ten steps in an instant, it was pulled to the ground again by the giant force.

But this blood shadow's figure trembled slightly, and it stepped toward the hall like an ordinary person.

This scene naturally left those humans and monsters in a state of shock.

"Since things have come to this, we can only borrow Fellow Daoist Gui's divine ability. Let's act. We cannot wait any longer; those things must not fall into the hands of others!" The Silver-Winged Nightcha did not hesitate any longer, turning its head and speaking gloomily to the ugly woman via voice transmission.

The ugly woman nodded solemnly. Immediately, white light flashed around her body, and her figure rolled on the ground. Amidst blinding light, a giant tortoise, black and white, about a zhang in size, appeared and crawled rapidly toward the front.

This monster had actually revealed its original demonic form.

The Lion-Bird Beast and the Silver-Winged Nightcha flew up simultaneously, sitting on the tortoise's back. It was only at this moment that the giant tortoise happened to enter the magnetic field range of the Gold Magnetic Spirit Wood.

As a result, the Lion-Bird Beast and the Silver-Winged Nightcha's figures flickered, struggling on the tortoise's back, unable to move. But the giant tortoise's body flashed with black and white strange light, and its four feet crawled forward rapidly without stopping, as if it were completely unaffected.

However, it could not be completely unaffected, because as the three monsters entered the magnetic field range, strange golden runes suddenly appeared around them. These runes seemed invisible, rapidly sinking into the three monsters' bodies one by one.

Although the three monsters' protective light was dazzling, they were completely unable to stop these runes from sinking in. The giant tortoise showed no signs of being affected, but after a rune sank into the Silver-Winged Nightcha and the Lion-Bird Beast's bodies, their expressions immediately withered, as if they had been subjected to some extremely powerful restriction.

Fortunately, the range that the remaining Gold Magnetic Heavy Light could affect was not very large. In almost a moment, the giant tortoise carried the three of them out of this range. The two monsters immediately let out a long breath, and their spirits recovered by more than half.
