Chapter 1211

Han Li's gaze shifted, landing on the face of the tall corpse-refiner, then he turned to look at the person wearing the Wan Tianming attire, letting out a long breath.

Aside from some difference in stature, these two individuals had faces that were exactly alike!

"Should I address you as Sect Master Wan, or as the Six Paths Ultimate Sage?" Han Li's eyes flickered, his expression turning solemn.

"You've guessed who I am?" "Wan Tianming" let out a cold snort, and with a shift of his form, the six demonic phantoms behind him trembled.

"As far as I know, those who understand the Six Extremes True Devil Arts—the number one devil art in this chaotic Star Sea—and have cultivated to such an extent, seem to be only the rumored Six Paths Daoist friend. It appears you fortunately survived back then. What I don't understand, however, is whether you have seized Wan Tianming's physical body, or simply transformed yourself into his likeness. And this corpse-refiner who bears such a striking resemblance to you—who is he? Could he be your incarnation? Or have you actually refined your own physical form into a demonic corpse?" Han Li asked slowly, his expression returning to normal.

"Hehe, these questions—you, a person about to die, need to know them so clearly?" The Six Paths Ultimate Sage gave a sinister smile, suddenly shrugging his shoulders, and two of the six phantom shadows behind him shot forth, plunging directly into the two corpse-refiners before him.

The male and female corpse-refiners' bodies shuddered violently, then their eyes snapped open, filled with a greenish hue.

But this was not yet over; from the Six Paths Ultimate Sage's mouth came obscure, profound incantations, and the bodies of the two originally somewhat withered demon corpses were surrounded by grayish-white demonic aura, enveloping them completely.

Sharp, piercing cries erupted from the mouths of the two corpses, and then their bodies suddenly began to swell wildly.

In the blink of an eye, amidst painful groans, they each transformed into two towering demonic beasts, four to five zhang in height.

One bore copper-coin-sized scales on its body, jet-black and glossy hair, a pair of antelope-like sharp horns on its head, and a green-colored long tail swaying lightly behind it. The other was covered entirely in blood-red, demonic bone spurs, while its hands and feet gleamed with silver light, as if forged from solid silver; on its triangular, ferocious head, it actually had four green, tiny eyes, making one shiver at the sight.

The appearance of these two corpse-refiners after transformation clearly matched the two demonic phantoms that had shot into their bodies, but the originally intangible phantoms had now become true demons—truly astonishing.

After his surprise, Han Li's heart also tightened!

"Hehe, cultivating the Six Extremes True Devil Arts to the utmost allows one to summon true holy devil thoughts to possess the body; in terms of cultivation and divine abilities, it can match a Soul Transformation cultivator, though from ancient times to now, no one in the human realm has ever truly cultivated to such a supreme state. But even so, the two demons I have summoned now possess the divine abilities of a late Nascent Soul cultivator. Under these three-on-one conditions, Han Daoist, do you still believe your life can be preserved?" The Six Paths Ultimate Sage laughed wildly, his divine sense stirring—whereupon the two demons originally hovering straight before him suddenly flickered and vanished from sight.

Instantly, at a distance of about a zhang on either side of Han Li, spatial fluctuations appeared, and the two demons emerged strangely from the void—the horned demon's snake tail twitched behind it, and suddenly a green light shot straight toward Han Li's chest, swift as lightning. The other demon, covered in bone spurs down to the barbs, crouched, its body trembling, and immediately the surrounding space rang with the sound of breaking air.

Countless foot-long blood-colored bone spurs transformed into a sky-filling barrage of bolts, shooting forth and enveloping Han Li. At such close range, with such fierce projection, there was nowhere to dodge.

It seemed this Six Paths Ultimate Sage, harboring a similar thought to Han Li, struck first with the intent to drive his opponent into a dead end.

He also already revealed a trace of smug expression on his face, confident that under the seamless coordinated attack of these two demons, Han Li, even if he managed to survive by luck, would certainly not escape unharmed.

But the next moment, the old demon's expression froze on his face.

Because as the green light was about to pierce Han Li's chest and the bone spikes were about to riddle his body with thousands of holes, Han Li's cyan-white feathered wings behind him fluttered slightly, and a great wind arose!

Han Li's figure actually vanished with the wind in an instant.

The green light and bone spikes, having lost their target, naturally shot wildly into empty space.

The Six Paths Ultimate Sage secretly startled, his eyes flashing with sharp light, he hurriedly began searching in all directions.

But before he could fully extend his divine sense to envelop the surrounding area, on the head of the horned demon, a cyan electric arc flashed, and a figure strangely appeared.

It was Han Li, who had arrived here using the Instant Movement Technique.

Without a word, he raised his hand, and a cyan wooden ruler appeared, swinging downward with just a light flick.

Beneath the demon's feet, instantly a silver lotus about the size of a chi bloomed!

This lotus merely spun once, and seven-colored Buddha light surged wildly from its heart; the horned demon felt its entire body tighten, unable to move even a fraction, while the demonic qi within it instantly solidified.

Then Han Li, expressionless, raised his other hand, and a three-colored flame appeared, and though no action was yet seen, a terrifying spiritual pressure already faintly leaked from the flame.

The other demon finally noticed Han Li's figure; without seeing what he would do next, it let out a long howl from its mouth, and the sky-full of bone spikes suddenly coiled, then shot once more toward Han Li, and this time its escape speed was even faster than before!

In almost a flash, countless bone spikes arrived right before Han Li.

Han Li, however, showed not the slightest trace of alarm, merely glancing casually at these bone spikes with a slight glance of his eyes.

Where there had been nothing, suddenly a silver light flashed, and a small silver shield strangely appeared. A light flick, and this treasure transformed into a layer of condensed silver curtain, shielding him within.

Instantly, the bone spikes fiercely struck the silver curtain.

Clusters of fist-sized blood light exploded on the silver curtain, producing a sudden crackling like rain on banana leaves; the light curtain first rippled, then turned into violent shaking, and immediately showed signs of failing.

The power of these blood-colored bone spikes actually far exceeded ordinary imagination—each one seemed as powerful as a top-tier magical treasure.

The Ganguan Shield could not even bounce them back.

Han Li's expression changed, and he seemed to chant some incantation in his mouth.

A thumb-sized golden bead appeared on its own between his eyebrows, flashed once, and turned into a layer of golden misty light shield.

This was precisely the Diamond Shield Han Li had been cultivating within his body all along.

After so many years of cultivation by Han Li, this Diamond Relic Sutra's power had long since changed; in terms of defensive toughness, it far surpassed the Ganguan Shield.

Thus the silver light curtain finally failed and dissipated, and when the remaining bone spikes fiercely struck the golden light shield, they produced a sound like metal striking metal.

The golden light on the shield's surface flashed continuously, actually blocking all those bone spikes completely.

At the same time, within Han Li's hand, the three-colored flame emitted a phoenix's cry, and immediately a firebird flickering with three-colored runes flew out, spreading its wings and shooting downward.

Its target was precisely the horned demon, whose body was unable to move.

Although the demon could not move, after a flash of ferocity on its face, it opened its mouth, and a white misty wave first sprayed upward, just in time to collide head-on with the firebird.

With a tremendous boom, the white wave and three-colored firelight intertwined and struck together.

Although this sound wave was an innate strange divine ability of the demon, with its body bound and unable to mobilize demonic qi, its power naturally diminished greatly, and how could it compare to a strike from the Three Flame Fan?

After only a brief standoff, the firebird exploded!

A three-colored light halo appeared, rolled slightly, and immediately swallowed the white wave clean.

Then the halo expanded rapidly, flooding the surrounding area of over ten zhang in width. In just an instant, the possessed corpse-refiner demon vanished into nothing.

All this seemed slow, but in reality it took only a few breaths; the distant Six Paths Ultimate Sage, pinching his seal, saw this and his face changed dramatically.

He could never have imagined that his two demons, both unleashed, not only failed to kill the opponent, but the opponent, with just a lift of hand and step, had already slain one of the demons.

However, at this moment, the old demon finally understood that the person opposite him was no ordinary great cultivator.

Filled with shock and anger, he no longer dared to be the slightest bit negligent, hastily urging his divine sense and simultaneously spraying from his mouth.

A black light shot forth, flickered once, and turned into a stream of black qi that vanished into the void without a trace.

On the other side, that hedgehog-like demon also let out a low roar from its mouth, the four demonic eyes on its face flashed simultaneously, then its form blurred slightly, and it actually vanished from sight in empty space.

The next moment, spatial fluctuations arose behind Han Li, and two silver arms reached out from the void.

With a crack, the two arms actually swelled to several times their size out of thin air—one turned into claws, viciously grabbing toward Han Li's heavenly spirit cap, the other flickered and vanished, then a huge silver fist straightly pounded Han Li's back.

At the same time, black light flickered, and a skull-sized black eight-sided hammer appeared several zhang above Han Li's head, flickered once, and then smashed down hard, carrying a gloomy black qi.

From the terrifying demonic aura emanating from above, it could be seen that this was actually a demonic artifact rarely seen in the human realm!

Thus, the old demon did not cease his attack; with a shake of his shoulders, the remaining four true demon phantoms hovering in the air behind him simultaneously opened their eyes, and with a sudden flicker, they transformed into four streaks of black light that shot directly toward Han Li.

For a moment, Han Li, who had just slain a demonic beast, once again found himself under the combined assault of the old demon and another demonic creature.

Han Li let out a light sigh.

Without making any visible spellcasting gesture, a flash of green light appeared on his body, and at the spot tightly pressed against his back, a silver light flickered, suddenly producing a faint humanoid silhouette; likewise, two silver 'colored' fists shot forward in unison.

Two thunderous booms rang out, and amidst the flashing silver light, the green 'colored' humanoid figure remained motionless, while the demonic entity that had just emerged from the void suddenly shuddered violently and stumbled backward.

Almost simultaneously, spiritual light flickered atop Han Li's head, and a small, strangely behaving green 'colored' cauldron spun out from his Tianling acupoint, and as soon as it appeared, its lid flipped open.

A mass of green, misty light filaments sprayed 'out', perfectly intercepting the incoming black eight-cornered hammer aimed at his head, suspending it midair and preventing it from descending even slightly.
