Chapter 1318: Might of Spirit Devouring (Part 1)

With the speed of the Blood Shadow Escape, Han Li arrived at the valley entrance within the span of a few breaths.

With his current cultivation, the drawback of this escape technique being too overbearing and him being unable to control the direction and speed during the Core Formation and Nascent Soul stages was naturally resolved after reaching Deity Transformation.

Thus, while Han Li was flying at a speed of a hundred miles per breath, he simultaneously swept his spiritual sense backward.

He discovered that the escape lights transformed by Spirit Lord Huang Liang and the other two hadn't really been shaken off by much and were in hot pursuit behind him, causing his heart to feel a chill.

Since he was facing Void Refinement stage cultivators, Han Li didn't harbor any hope that he could truly escape so simply just by relying on the Blood Shadow Escape.

Within the blood light, he flipped one hand and suddenly produced two red and black spheres flashing with mysterious runes, throwing them behind him without hesitation.

Immediately after forming hand seals, he began to chant incantations secretly.

At this moment, the blood light he was riding flashed past the entrance of the Chaos Valley.

The three people in hot pursuit also approached this location.

The two spheres spun, and after a buzzing sound, a heaven-shaking loud sound rang out.

One red and one black, two scorching suns ten zhang in diameter appeared in the void.

A visible wave of air spread wildly, instantly forming a fierce hurricane that swept everything within a radius of several miles into it.

Of the three people pursuing Han Li, Xu Tian had the most profound magic power and was pursuing the closest. Coupled with the fact that he was pursuing too quickly by urging his escape light with secret techniques, he was immediately swept into the hurricane.

Spirit Lord Huang Liang and Cai Huan Hua Tianqi, who were slightly behind, were startled, and their escape light directions changed, narrowly bypassing the hurricane on both sides.

But even so, this human and demon didn't forget to take the opportunity to kick Xu Tian while he was down.

Cai Huan Hua Tianqi flicked his sleeves, and a rolling gray demon wind surged out, while Spirit Lord Huang Liang raised a hand toward the hurricane, and a yellow beam of light shot out and vanished in a flash.

When both attacks merged into the hurricane, explosive sounds rang out, and Xu Tian's shocked and angry roars immediately came from within.

It appeared he had suffered a small loss and was unable to escape immediately.

This human and demon smiled at each other and, after their escape lights flickered, arrived above the valley entrance.

At this moment, the escape light transformed by Han Li had already become blurry at the edge of the sky due to the slight obstruction of the Immortal-Extinguishing Pearl.

The two, however, didn't care at all and were just about to confidently urge their secret techniques to pursue when suddenly, two "Pfft—" sounds came from the stone wall on one side of the valley entrance.

Amidst flashing sinister light, two silver fire pillars sprayed out wildly, rolling toward the two of them.

Because the valley entrance wasn't wide, and the fire pillars sprayed at an astonishing speed, the silver flames arrived before them in an instant.

Spirit Lord Huang Liang was startled. Without thinking, he slashed at the void with one hand, and a yellow sword qi slashed out, intending to split the fire pillar.

But the moment the sword qi touched the silver flames, it actually began to burn on its own, and in the blink of an eye, it was reduced to nothingness.

As the silver fire pillars grew more intense, they pounced toward them even more aggressively. Before they even truly touched their bodies, a scorching high temperature caused this human cultivator to feel a parched mouth and dry tongue.

Spirit Lord Huang Liang saw this, but his expression changed drastically, and he blurted out in shock:

"Spirit-Extinguishing White Bone Fire!"

Subsequently, as if seeing a snake or scorpion, he formed hand seals, and his figure vanished from the spot, with the silver fire pillars falling into empty space.

On the other side, Cai Huan Hua Tianqi's situation was much the same.

After he blew out a demon wind, it was also swallowed clean by the silver flames. His horrified figure swayed several times, changing positions with a series of afterimages, before he finally shook off the pursuit of the silver flames.

"That's not right, it's not the Spirit-Extinguishing White Bone Fire! Although the White Bone Fire is silver, it is filled with evil energy and can only be controlled by the White Bone Ancestor alone. It's impossible for it to be passed on to others." Cai Huan Hua Tianqi denied it with an ugly expression as soon as he stood firm beside Spirit Lord Huang Liang.

The two silver fire pillars on the opposite side gathered in the middle, forming a giant fireball a zhang in diameter. Then, the fireball contracted and deformed slightly, and a silver fire bird appeared with extreme elegance.

"Fire Spirit!"

Seeing this scene, the human and demon were stunned again upon seeing the fire bird.

But the silver fire bird looked coldly at the two of them and flapped its wings lightly.

Amidst flashing silver light, countless fireballs the size of fists appeared nearby. After a clear ringing sound, the fireballs all trembled and shot out, densely shrouding the human and demon within the attack range.

Spirit Lord Huang Liang heard that it wasn't the Spirit-Extinguishing White Bone Fire, and his heart was mostly at ease. Upon seeing these fireballs, he let out a cold snort, flicked his hand, and an Eight-Trigrams Mirror suddenly expanded and floated before him.

On the other side, Cai Huan Hua Tianqi flipped one hand, and gray electric light appeared in his hand again.

Although the two hadn't figured out the true identity of this silver flame, they no longer held any contempt and intended to deal with it with all their might.

But just at this moment, the sky-filling fireballs shooting midway flashed with silver light and suddenly vanished into thin air.

If it weren't for the high temperature that had come to shroud the sky still existing in the nearby space, these fireballs would have seemed as if they had never appeared.

Spirit Lord Huang Liang was stunned and couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he looked toward the silver fire bird.

As soon as he looked over, he heard a light "Pop—" sound.

The fire bird actually burst apart on its own, and the scattered silver flames, just like those fireballs, vanished bizarrely in the air.

Spirit Lord Huang Liang's expression turned gloomy, and he turned his head to look at Cai Huan Hua Tianqi.

This elder of the Qiong Mouse Race had an equally ugly, somewhat ashen expression.

"Even if this fire isn't the Spirit-Extinguishing White Bone Fire, it's probably not to be trifled with. What is the background of that human cultivator? He shouldn't be so unknown in the human race!" Cai Huan Hua Tianqi asked coldly, a hint of suspicion hidden within.

"I don't know. Perhaps he is a cultivator from the other two mirrors. Anyway, in our Tianyuan Realm, this is the first time I've seen him. However, if he thinks he can escape our control just by relying on these little tricks, he is being too self-righteous. Although I didn't have time to plant a spiritual sense mark on him, with the strength of our spiritual sense, a Deity Transformation cultivator in this Sunset Tomb cannot escape our spiritual sense tracking as long as he hasn't run ten thousand miles away." Spirit Lord Huang Liang first shook his head solemnly, then glanced outside the valley and sneered.

At this moment, Han Li's escape light had already vanished without a trace at the edge of the sky.

Cai Huan Hua Tianqi nodded upon hearing this, clearly agreeing with these words.

Thus, below, both of them closed their eyes in the air, and their powerful spiritual senses were slowly released.

But after a moment, their expressions became incredibly colorful, appearing somewhat shocked and somewhat incredulous.

"How is this possible? That person's spiritual power aura has vanished, leaving no trace at all." Spirit Lord Huang Liang opened his eyes suddenly, his face full of shock.

"I didn't find him either. In this situation, either the other party's cultivation is far above ours, or this person has performed some unique secret technique that can conceal his aura to the point where even our spiritual sense cannot detect a fraction of it. Otherwise, even if he had perished, his aura wouldn't have dissipated so thoroughly in such a short time." Cai Huan Hua Tianqi also muttered.

"Then it must be the second reason! Don't forget, this person once lurked nearby, yet we didn't discover him at all. It seems this person is truly proficient in some extremely formidable concealment divine ability." Spirit Lord Huang Liang's brows furrowed into a ball.

"This is a huge problem! With such a divine ability, wouldn't I be completely unable to find this person?" Cai Huan Hua Tianqi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"That's not necessarily true. I still have a chance. That person has concealed himself and definitely cannot have performed that escape technique to escape very far; he must be within a few thousand miles. We just need to mobilize our manpower and control all these areas. Search bit by bit, and assist the search with your Illusion Flame Moth's Thousand Moth Technique. I don't believe he can really hide anywhere." Spirit Lord Huang Liang's eyes flashed with cold light, coming up with a clumsy method.

"Thousand Moth Technique! This will consume the essence of the Illusion Flame Moth. Forget it, using this technique for this is considered worth it. However, that piece of Sunset Crystal..." Cai Huan Hua Tianqi nodded somewhat reluctantly and suddenly mentioned the treasure that had fallen into Spirit Lord Huang Liang's hands.

"Hehe, as long as we can retrieve the Spirit Race object, I will definitely offer the Sunset Crystal to Brother Cai Huan with both hands. Even if we can't retrieve it, I will still give Brother Cai Huan half of this crystal." Spirit Lord Huang Liang seemed to have made up his mind long ago and replied without hesitation.

"Good, having Fellow Daoist's word is enough. I will immediately..."

Cai Huan Hua Tianqi smiled slightly and was just about to say something else when suddenly, a long whistle rang out from behind the two of them, followed by a loud sound like the heavens collapsing and the earth splitting, and an astonishing spiritual wave soared into the sky behind them.

The human and demon felt a chill in their hearts and immediately turned around to look.

They saw that the hurricane behind them had vanished. But in the original place, there was a blood lotus more than ten zhang wide spinning incessantly. In the center of the lotus, Xu Tian was looking at the two of them with a sunken expression, fierce light flickering within.
