Chapter 1256: Bone Quenching Technique

Feng Xi saw this scene, and his heart felt extremely cold.

Not to mention Han Li attacking him again, just these dozen or so Six-Winged Frost Centipedes that had grown a second pair of wings were not something he could deal with.

Having made a decision in his heart, Feng Xi did not say a word and formed hand seals with both hands. His upper body's bare skin turned a vivid, dripping red, and then, with loud "hissing" sounds, countless blood threads shot out from his skin, transforming into clusters of blood mist that threatened to submerge his figure in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the wings behind the demon also absorbed quite a bit of blood mist, transforming into a crimson color.

Then the demon took a deep breath, moved its wings, and was about to activate the secret technique to shoot away. But just at this moment, a beautiful Buddhist sound came from under its feet, and a huge suction force suddenly descended upon its body.

The demon felt its body tighten, unable to move a fraction, and the magic power in its body was also frozen, losing control.

Only then did Feng Xi discover in terror that a silver lotus a foot in size had appeared under its feet at some point, slowly blooming, and a strand of seven-colored Buddha light happened to cover it within.

The demon was greatly alarmed, hurriedly urging its magic technique, wanting to break free.

But the twelve snow-white centipedes that had been waiting for a long time took this opportunity to pounce forward, spraying cold Qi from their mouths.

He saw the white cold Qi cover it head-on, wrapping all the blood mist within it, and screams from Feng Xi also came from within.

Han Li in the distance looked indifferent, playing with the Eight-Spirit Ruler in his hand, not even looking over once.

Everything seemed to be under his control.

At this time, the sound from the Golden Flood Dragon King in the other sea of fire suddenly stopped abruptly.

Han Li's brows lifted, and he couldn't help but look over.

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering loud noise suddenly came from the center of the sea of fire. The flames scattered in all directions in an instant, and then, amidst the clusters of flames, something shot out with a "whoosh," moving with incomparable speed.

Han Li's expression sank, a thunderclap sounded behind his back, and he disappeared into thin air.

The next moment, when the object that shot out paused to reveal its figure, cyan-white electric arcs flashed above it, and Han Li also appeared out of thin air, looking downward with an emotionless face.

He saw that the object fleeing below was actually a miniature bone dragon, only a foot in size, but its whole body was radiating golden light, actually as if it were forged from red gold.

This dragon still had a golden sphere the size of a thumb in its mouth, and ghostly green fire flickered in its eye sockets.

Wailing sounds rang out from behind, and the five ghost heads also rushed out of the sea of fire in a panic, all of them gray-faced and dirty, looking somewhat damaged.

The bone dragon saw the five demons appear, moved its body, and immediately transformed into a golden light that shot out, then suddenly submerged into the empty space in front and disappeared without a trace.

Han Li, who was high above, saw this scene, snorted coldly, and black light flashed between his brows. A third black eye emerged, and a black light shot out, also flashing and disappearing into the empty space.

As a result, a muffled explosion came, golden light and black rays intertwined in the empty space ahead, and the miniature bone dragon was forcibly blasted out, unable to control itself as it tumbled several times.

The bone dragon transformed from the Golden Flood Dragon King knew it was in trouble, and as soon as its figure stabilized, it intended to escape again without hesitation.

But because of this delay, it was already too late.

Cyan light flashed nearby, and a cyan silk net shot out from the empty space close at hand, catching the bone dragon tightly before it could react, leaving it unable to move a fraction.

Almost at the same time, a golden light a foot long flew from beyond the sky, and with a flash of golden light, it slashed the bone dragon into two halves from the middle.

A cluster of green fire flew out from the bone dragon's remains in a panic, wanting to flee in a hurry.

But Han Li, who had long been prepared, grabbed from a distance toward this side, and a cyan giant hand appeared out of thin air, grabbing the green fire that hadn't had time to escape into his hand.

Then, with a flash of escape light, Han Li arrived in front of it, flicked his sleeve, and a small green bottle flew out.

This magic tool turned upside down in the air, and a burst of black mist sprayed out from the bottle mouth.

The cyan hand loosened its five fingers, and the mist light rolled the green fire within it, sucking it into the bottle.

Han Li lifted his hand and took the green bottle into his hand, swept his spiritual sense inside, and revealed a look of satisfaction on his face.

The essence soul of a Level 10 demon beast; this was a rare item in the world.

After putting away the small bottle, he looked at the golden sphere and the bone dragon's corpse, and without a second thought, sucked these two objects over as well.

He didn't need to guess to know that the sphere was the main purpose of his trip, the metal-attribute dragon core.

As for the golden bone dragon remains, they were somewhat interesting.

He had seen the scene in the sea of fire clearly. The Golden Flood Dragon King, bound by the chains transformed from fire spirit threads and bitten by the five demons simultaneously, originally couldn't have broken free. But this demon practiced some kind of cultivation technique that allowed it to self-detonate the flesh on its body, breaking the fire ropes and pushing away the five demons, while its essence soul drove such a shrunken, complete skeleton to take the opportunity to escape.

In this way, this Golden Flood Dragon King was equivalent to having two bodies, and believing that if it truly escaped by surprise, it wouldn't be difficult to use the skeleton to regenerate a flesh-and-blood body.

Speaking of which, for the Golden Flood Dragon King, as a Level 10 demon cultivator, to be so easily killed by surprise, it wasn't strange.

Han Li possessed two Spirit Treasures and was assisted by the five demons; compared to an ordinary Great Cultivator, he was already like a strong man compared to an infant, simply incomparable.

The Golden Flood Dragon King's body was far stronger than ordinary demon beasts, but upon encountering the Eight-Spirit Ruler's divine defensive abilities, it naturally couldn't break through in a short time, and then it encountered the fire spirit threads, a treasure with a great reputation even in the Spirit Realm, and the five demons, which directly devoured the essence of humans and demons. Under the mutual restraint, it had all its divine abilities but hadn't had a chance to display them before being unexpectedly taken down.

Han Li curiously studied the golden skeleton for a while, and after a slight hesitation, he put it and the demon core into his storage bag.

At this time, Feng Xi, who had been fixed in place by the Eight-Spirit Ruler in the white cold Qi, was unsurprisingly frozen into a giant transparent ice block by the cold Qi sprayed by the twelve Six-Winged Frost Centipedes.

Han Li looked at his former formidable enemy from afar, shook his head, and with a movement of his spiritual sense, the several flying swords circling nearby immediately transformed into golden rays, flying around the giant ice block.

Instantly, Feng Xi and the ice block were slashed into seven or eight pieces in an instant. A cluster of green demon soul appeared from the corpse in a panic, wanting to escape in a hurry, but in his rush, he flew right in front of a four-winged centipede, and was unceremoniously swallowed by the snow-white centipede in one big gulp, becoming food for this spirit insect.

Although the two demons were killed by Han Li, their storage bags were unceremoniously collected by him, and he opened them one by one to check.

An unexpected joy was waiting for him.

Han Li obtained an ancient jade slip from Feng Xi's storage bag, which, besides recording several demon cultivation techniques in demon script, finally mentioned the Dragon Scale Fruit, the true efficacy of this spirit fruit, and the method of transplanting the spirit tree. And the final mention was that this transplanting secret technique might also be very useful for other spirit trees. This made Han Li overjoyed.

And from the Golden Flood Dragon King's storage bag, he also obtained a "Bone Quenching Technique" cultivation technique that he was interested in, which could allow both humans and demons to quench their own bones like refining magic treasures, thereby making their physical bodies even stronger. Unfortunately, the cultivation of this technique took quite a bit of time, and Han Li had no time to cultivate it now, so he casually put the jade slip into his storage bag.

After putting away the five demons and spirit insects, he transformed into a cyan rainbow and dived into the sea surface nearby. Since the Dragon Scale Fruit was so miraculous, he naturally wouldn't let it go.

As a result, in a seabed cave near the island, after Han Li broke through several restrictions, he finally found this fruit tree.

Fortunately, Feng Xi had come here to transplant this spirit tree, so all the materials needed were in his storage bag. Han Li naturally borrowed them unceremoniously, and using the transplanting method recorded in demon script, he shrunk the spirit tree and temporarily put it into his storage bag.

After the time it takes to eat a meal, a cyan rainbow broke through the sea surface, flashed a few times, and disappeared at the end of the horizon.

When Han Li returned to Tiannan through the teleportation array, it was already more than half a year later.

As soon as he returned to the Mount Yunmeng Mountain Range, he suddenly gathered Nangong Wan, his disciples, and elders like Lu Luo together to secretly discuss something.

After a full half-day, the crowd dispersed.

Everyone's expression was somewhat solemn, as if Han Li had told them a major event.

Not long after, some disciples of the Falling Cloud Sect discovered that the Falling Cloud Sect had suddenly begun to collect some rather obscure spirit herbs and spirit grasses in large quantities, and high-level cultivators were also frequently gathering, seemingly discussing something incessantly.

Not long after, the entire Tiannan cultivation world received news.

The Great Elder of the Falling Cloud Sect, Han Li, had obtained a secret technique during his last trip, which was helpful for breaking through the Spirit Transformation bottleneck.

But this secret technique was somewhat peculiar and required the assistance of a special secret place to cultivate. Therefore, this number one cultivator of Tiannan intended to leave the Falling Cloud Sect for several hundred years and go into closed-door life-and-death seclusion to cultivate. Unless the Falling Cloud Sect encountered a matter of life and death, this Great Elder would not easily leave the secret place until he had cultivated this technique.

Once this news came out, the attitudes of the high-level officials of various sects were different. Some were excited, secretly happy, while others were worried, fearing that the Tiannan cultivation world would fall into chaos again...

But a year later, Han Li's tracks truly disappeared from the Falling Cloud Sect, and along with him, Nangong Wan, Mu Mu Peiling, and several personal disciples also disappeared.

Liu Yu, this woman, remained in the sect.

And the Falling Cloud Sect also stopped its momentum of expansion and began to consolidate its existing forces. Although other sects were eyeing the Falling Cloud Sect covetously, fearing Han Li's reputation, they naturally didn't dare to make any moves and could only watch.

One year, ten years, a hundred years passed, and this number one cultivator of Tiannan had no news from then on, and never appeared in public in the Tiannan cultivation world again.

In the Falling Cloud Sect, the Mount Yunmeng Mountain Range, and even Tiannan, Han Li's name was rarely mentioned as time passed. I don't know when it started, but the Great Elder of the Falling Cloud Sect became a legend, and the position of Great Elder was left vacant for a thousand years. A thousand years later, a new generation of Great Elder of the Falling Cloud Sect was selected.

And with nearly a thousand years of development opportunities, Nascent Soul cultivators finally appeared frequently in the Falling Cloud Sect, making this sect a true super sect of Tiannan, prosperous for ten thousand years...
