Chapter 1246: Eight Spirit Ruler and Soul-Devouring Beast

Han Li, who had finished all this, had no intention of stopping. He rubbed his hands together and threw them into the air.

Amidst two thunderclaps, two golden arcs as thick as arms shot out from his sleeves, then converged together, turning into a golden giant python, shaking its head and tail as it pounced into the sky.

At the same time, Han Li opened his mouth, and a crystal round bead was sprayed out, which turned into a purple dragon more than ten zhang long, also pouncing out ferociously.

And the silver giant lotus also greeted the emerald light in the sky, floating upward slowly.

The emerald light falling in the sky suddenly flashed with spiritual light, revealing eight emerald peaks again, only four of which were incomplete and dim, while the other four were naturally complete. But then, these mountain peaks turned and flowed with emerald light, and an incredible change occurred. The eight mountain peaks merged together, and in this instant, a behemoth nearly a thousand zhang tall appeared in the sky, and then pressed down without hesitation.

At this time, the purple dragon, electric python, and silver giant lotus below also greeted it simultaneously.

Suddenly, various spiritual lights exploded, and arcs, cold air, silver light, and emerald light intertwined, actually making the giant mountain pause for a moment.

But in reality, this mountain was too big. Regardless of the electric arc thunder strike or the cold air ice seal, it was insignificant to its huge body. With a slight tremor, it fell again, actually pressing the silver lotus, which was thirty zhang large, down.

Han Li below narrowed his eyes, blue light flashed in his pupils, and then he let out a low shout, spraying a ball of essence blood.

This blood disappeared into the center of the silver lotus in the sky and was absorbed by the green ruler.

Han Li pinched one spell after another with his fingers, and at the same time, mysterious and obscure incantations were spoken aloud.

Hearing this incantation, Xiang Xiang Zhili and Old Monster Feng, who were watching the battle below, couldn't help but reveal looks of shock.

Just as the thousand-zhang giant mountain was about to crush the giant lotus, suddenly eight strange sharp cries came from the green wooden ruler in the giant lotus, and then the ruler rotated, revealing eight phantom images an inch tall.

Under the urging of Han Li's spell, these phantom images expanded wildly, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into eight spiritual beast phantoms ten zhang long, with green light shining, actually looking like the real thing. And the appearance of each phantom was exactly the same as several kinds of legendary heaven and earth spiritual beasts.

And these eight phantoms, either spraying spiritual fire or raising their heads to pounce, exerted their strength together, actually blocking the giant mountain, making it only able to rotate slowly in mid-air, unable to fall at all.

The old demon in the distance saw this scene, and his face finally became somewhat ugly.

Although he didn't intend to kill the other party this time, he definitely had the intention of severely injuring Han Li. If he let Han Li block this strike so easily, wouldn't the purpose of his condition fall through?

Thinking this, although Hu Old Demon seemed unmoved, his divine sense urged secretly, and suddenly loud cries came from the mountain, and countless gray shadows flew out from the mountain, turning into gray apes a zhang long, pouncing down fiercely.

These gray apes were naturally not real demon beasts, but demon souls used for blood sacrifice when this treasure was refined. Because they were basically immortal, even if they were cut into countless pieces, they could be reborn from the Emerald Peak after a while. Their power could be said to be strong when meeting the strong and weak when meeting the weak, extremely difficult to deal with.

However, the moment these gray apes appeared, the Soul-Devouring Beast, which had shrunk to a zhang tall beside Han Li, brightened its eyes, and without saying a word, let out a long cry, and its body expanded wildly again in the black light.

This time, its body only expanded to more than ten zhang before it stopped changing, and it snorted from its nose.

Streams of yellow mist flew out from the giant ape's nose, and after gathering, actually turned into hundreds of rays of yellow light, shooting into the sky.

Strange to say, these gray apes clearly had thick demon energy, almost every one of them had shocking cultivation not inferior to Five-Extreme demon beasts, and some even reached the peak of the seventh level, but after being swept by these yellow lights, they all fell down like ants, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into strands of green gas, which were collected by the yellow light and flew back.

These green gases were sucked into the giant ape transformed by the Soul-Devouring Beast.

Hundreds of gray apes were all swallowed by the Soul-Devouring Beast. However, after this fierce beast finished swallowing all the demon souls, its body shrank again, and it immediately turned into a black light and flew into Han Li's waist, disappearing without a trace, returning to its spirit beast bag.

Han Li was stunned, but immediately received information from his divine sense that the Soul-Devouring Beast was about to evolve again, and he was happy in his heart.

However, the strange situation of the Soul-Devouring Beast swallowing so many gray ape demon souls in one breath not only made other cultivators feel extremely surprised, but even Hu Old Demon himself was stunned for a while.

Others might not know the power of these gray apes, but he, as the owner of the treasure, knew the difficulty of these demon souls well. The shock in his heart was naturally far beyond others!

And the thousand-zhang giant mountain in the sky, under the joint resistance of the eight spiritual beast phantoms, also stopped completely in place, looking unable to fall anymore.

Han Li stared at the giant mountain in the sky with a pale face, secretly pondering whether to use other treasures to completely destroy this mountain.

"Haha, Junior Martial Brother Han and Fellow Daoist Hu are indeed capable. How about this battle ends here. If it continues, I'm afraid it will really hurt the harmony." Xiang Xiang Zhili below suddenly laughed and opened his mouth.

His figure flickered and disappeared in place without a sound. But the next moment, he appeared between Han Li and Hu Old Demon, and grabbed the thousand-zhang emerald mountain casually with one hand.

With a "boom," a black-gas-wrapped ghost claw appeared from the void, like a giant object descending from the sky, grabbing the top of the mountain, and with a force of five fingers, actually raised it by more than ten zhang.

Han Li's expression changed slightly when he saw Xiang Xiang Zhili's divine ability, while Hu Old Demon's face became ugly.

"Hmph, I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Xiang's Giant Spirit Claw to have reached such a realm. But showing it now, are you trying to demonstrate to Hu?" Hu Old Demon said gloomily while watching coldly.

"Giant Spirit Claw is just a small trick, how can it enter Brother Hu's eyes. I'm just afraid that you might get carried away and forget the one-strike agreement. Now Junior Martial Brother Han should be considered to have taken this strike, right?" Xiang Xiang Zhili smiled slightly and said indifferently.

"As the master of the Demon Palace, how could I break my word to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Fellow Daoist Han is indeed considered to have taken this strike of mine." Hu Old Demon's expression was uncertain for a while, then he nodded slowly at Xiang Xiang Zhili. Then he raised his hand and beckoned to the mountain in the distance.

Suddenly, the mountain emitted a humming sound, and the emerald light flashed on its body.

Xiang Xiang Zhili's mouth moved, and the giant claw that grabbed the top of the mountain disappeared out of thin air. Then the thousand-zhang giant mountain trembled, turned into eight hundred-zhang mountain peaks again, and then flew back with a whistle, while its body shrank rapidly.

When the eight mountain peaks flew to the place close to the scroll, they were already the size of a few inches, and they all disappeared into the painting.

This scene also appeared on the remaining ten emerald peaks floating above the old demon's head, and in the blink of an eye, all the small mountains disappeared into the scroll, and then the painting flashed with spiritual light and slowly closed, turning into an ordinary-looking ancient scroll again.

The old demon grabbed the void, and the scroll turned into a ball of green light and disappeared into his sleeve.

"Although I won't marry this girl Zhao Ziling now, the other two are still there, so the concubine-taking ceremony three days later will still be held. Brother Xiang won't leave just like this and not drink a cup of wedding wine, right?" The old man with the wooden crown swept his gaze across Han Li and Xiang Xiang Zhili and the others, and actually smiled, as if the previous unpleasantness with Xiang Xiang Zhili had never happened.

"Naturally, I, Xiang, have already sent the congratulatory gift, how could I not drink a few more cups." Xiang Xiang Zhili was also full of smiles, not feeling strange at all.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you should also stay in my palace for a few more days, and leave after the ceremony." Hu Old Demon nodded, then said to Han Li peacefully.

Han Li's eyes flickered, but after his thoughts turned rapidly, he replied without any strange expression on his face:

"This is natural! Senior Martial Brother Xiang and Fellow Daoist Feng haven't left yet. How could Han Mou leave."

"Haha, good. Fellow daoists, let's go back to the palace and drink a few more cups." Hu Old Demon raised his head and laughed, then turned into a black light and shot toward the palace below.

The cultivators below, who had been shaken and sighed at the divine abilities displayed by Han Li and Hu Old Demon, naturally followed closely after hearing Hu Old Demon say this.

And Old Monster Feng chuckled and returned to the hall. Below, only Zhao Ziling, who was full of surprise, was left.

"Brother Han, are you okay!" Zhao Ziling couldn't help but walk over, her exquisite face full of worry, gratitude, and other emotions intertwined.

"I'm fine, just consumed some vitality. As for Fellow Daoist Zhao Ziling, do you intend to leave now, or leave after Hu Old Demon's concubine-taking ceremony." Han Li looked at the woman and asked calmly.

"Whenever Brother Han intends to leave, I will just leave with Brother Han." Zhao Ziling replied almost without hesitation.

"If that's the case, you will have to stay here for a few more days. I'm afraid I cannot leave immediately." Han Li sighed after pondering for a while.

"If that is the case, you will have to stay here for a few more days. I am afraid I cannot leave immediately." Han Li was silent for a moment and sighed softly.
