Chapter 1522

After a few sounds, Han Li once again released the Divine Thunder of Repelling Evil; the Thunder Beast's body paused temporarily, then its sleeve shook, and three golden flowers shot out.

They were exactly three mature Gold-Eating Beetles!

The Thunder Beast had just happily swallowed several golden arcs into its mouth, but upon seeing the three golden-colored beetles flying over, it was startled for a moment, but then it opened its mouth indifferently.

A silver arc sprayed out, and in a flash it turned into three arcs that shot out, respectively striking the golden beetles.

As a result, after three thunderclaps, the golden beetles were submerged by the thunder light.

But the next moment, the Thunder Beast's pair of golden-colored eyes narrowed, flashing with a look of surprise.

Only after the thunder light faded did the three spirit beetles not only not turn to ashes, but their bodies suddenly swelled several times in size, somewhat ferociously rushing toward this beast.

Although the Thunder Beast's intelligence cannot compare to that of ordinary humans, having cultivated to such a degree, its spiritual sense naturally would not be low.

Upon seeing these worms somewhat strange, it immediately stopped being careless, and a claw wrapped in electric arcs made a grasping motion in the void.

Instantly, three blue-colored claw lights flashed out, swelling greatly after being launched, and came down head-on onto the golden beetles.

After a sharp, piercing screech, the claw light burst open, and the blue light instantly submerged the golden beetles within it.

Groups of astonishing spiritual winds spread out in all directions, the heaven and earth's spiritual energy were all sucked in, and the nearby space seemed as if it were about to collapse.

The Thunder Beast seemed full of confidence in this attack, and without even looking at the result, silver arcs flashed on its body, preparing to shoot out again in pursuit of Han Li.

But after a few buzzing sounds came from the blue light, the beast's expression froze, and an expression of disbelief appeared in its eyes.

Only then did specks of golden light flash within the blue light, and the three golden beetles shot out, flashing a few times before arriving several zhang in front of the Thunder Beast.

Their bodies were covered in radiant golden light, showing no sign of injury whatsoever.

The Thunder Beast was truly startled, but it also aroused a bit of ferocity in its heart.

Without hesitation, the beast opened its mouth again, and a sheet of silver霞 flew out, instantly wrapping the three golden beetles within it.

Even though the Gold-Eating Beetles can devour anything, they could not possibly bite through the silver霞 immediately.

Therefore, after the beast took a deep breath, the silver霞 reversed its flow, and all three Gold-Eating Beetles were sucked back into its mouth by the reversed flow.

The beast opened its mouth wide, its sharp teeth chewing wildly regardless of everything, then it gulped them down whole.

Then it lowered its body, its four limbs thundered simultaneously, and it vanished from the spot as a silver arc.

Han Li had already taken this opportunity to escape over a thousand zhang away, looking back from afar at this scene, a strange color flashed across his face, and without saying a word, he flapped his wings behind him, turning into a crystal thread that shot out and vanished into the void.

The two seemed to have returned once again to a state of one fleeing and one pursuing.

However, the Thunder Beast seemed to have been thoroughly enraged by Han Li's earlier release of the golden beetles, its body swaying within the silver arc, its eyes occasionally flashing with a fierce look.

It seemed this time, it truly had murderous intent toward Han Li.

The following situation confirmed that this was indeed the case!

When Han Li again released the Divine Thunder of Repelling Evil to attack this beast, the Thunder Beast's body flickered, directly passing through several golden arcs, its escape light showing no sign of slowing.

This beast no longer had the slightest intention of playing around.

Han Li's heart trembled greatly, he gathered his magic power throughout his body, the crystal thread he transformed into flickered unpredictably in the void, his escape light appearing and disappearing, like a ghost.

Nevertheless, even so, after just a moment, the Thunder Beast had caught up to a distance of over a hundred zhang behind him.

The beast's back was interwoven with thunder light, electric arcs shooting out, actually forming a pair of electric wings within the interwoven silver arcs.

These wings were about two zhang long, their surface entirely silvery white, with countless runes drifting continuously.

With just a light flap of the wings, the Thunder Beast, amidst the rumbling sounds, suddenly blurred its form.

The next moment, at a distance of over ten zhang behind Han Li, a silver arc appeared, and the Thunder Beast's illusory image emerged. And at its original location, the illusory image dissipated like foam.

"Shadow Escape"

Han Li, sensing something unusual about his figure, turned his head in the escaping light and just happened to see this scene, his face turning somewhat pale.

This beast actually possessed the most extraordinary divine ability among escape techniques. It exceeded his expectations, his heart sank.

The Shadow Escape technique may not be the fastest escape technique in the world, but it is absolutely the rarest and most mysterious of escape techniques. Even those who have personally witnessed this escape technique in the world are not many.

If it weren't for Han Li having once specifically studied his own Thunder Escape technique in Tian Yuan City, browsing through the光典籍 sold in the city, he would not have been able to recognize this escape technique at a glance.

But obviously now is not the time for him to be surprised, as the Thunder Beast emerged nearby, its pair of electric wings flashed like an illusion and lunged toward Han Li with a shake.

Instantly, this pair of wings condensed from thunder and lightning, amidst the thunder sounds, slightly blurred and then vanished.

Han Li was startled, and before he could react, a tremendous thunderclap suddenly rang out above his head, a huge electric net fell from the air and landed right nearby.

Han Li was greatly alarmed, without thinking much, his body spun around, the gold and silver-colored runes on his body rolled, and the thunder cannon flew out, transforming into an identical gold and silver-colored electric net, blocking the silver arc in the air.

Then, a flash of green light appeared all over his body, and his body shot backward, attempting to escape the net's enclosure.

Seeing this, the Thunder Beast flashed a hint of contempt in its eyes, and its body swayed, becoming indistinct again.

Immediately, a flash of silver light appeared before Han Li, and the Thunder Beast's illusory image appeared ahead, while at the same time, one claw made a slow, light pat toward him, seeming to require no effort. But the sensation it gave was as if this claw had suddenly enlarged countless times, as if it were about to envelop Han Li's entire form beneath it.

But after a few deep, heavy booms, the surrounding air suddenly trembled, frantically surging toward beneath the beast's claw, as if an invisible black hole capable of swallowing everything had appeared there.

Han Li's body tightened, and he was pushed forward by an irresistible immense force, as if he were about to be forcibly sent beneath the beast's claw.

His face turned pale instantly, but a fierce expression immediately appeared in his eyes, he suddenly opened his mouth, and a golden-colored small sword several inches long shot out, flashing once before transforming into a golden rainbow that slashed onto the beast's claw.

Seeing this, the Thunder Beast not only did not retract its claw, but the contemptuous expression flashed past.

With a clear "Dang" sound, the golden rainbow's light faded, and it actually rebounded back as the small sword.

And the beast's claw did not even tremble slightly, appearing completely undamaged.

Moreover, not only that, the beast's other claw flashed like lightning, and within the blurred claw shadow, it actually seized the small sword in its claw, the beast's eyes showing a ferocious look, its light blazing forth, the entire claw instantly turning pure silver-colored, the claw closing, as if it were about to destroy the golden-colored small sword right then and there.

The Thunder Beast not only possesses innate divine strength, but its physical body is also as strong as a top-tier treasure; combined, in the past it did not know how many opponents' treasure artifacts it had destroyed with its own pair of sharp claws.

But now, when the beast exerted force with its claw, it thought it could easily crush the small sword as before, but after a sharp screech from metal friction plates sounded, the golden-colored small sword in the silver light twisted and trembled slightly, its spiritual light dimmed a bit, yet it remained completely unharmed.

The Beast had also greatly underestimated the toughness of the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword.

This sword had been refined by Han Li with the addition of several rare materials, and although other aspects are not discussed, its toughness is rare even in the Spirit Realm. Although the small sword cannot harm the Thunder Beast's body, the Beast wanting to destroy this sword cannot be done in a short time.

The Thunder Beast was also stunned, and had not yet recovered from its shock.

Being restrained by the beast's other claw, Han Li's face suddenly burst forth with a sheet of golden霞, he let out a loud shout, golden light spread across his body in myriad strands, and scale-like plates forged of pure gold appeared on his skin's surface, while simultaneously, his back's golden light trembled, revealing a three-headed, six-armed golden-colored figure.

Six arms extended outward simultaneously, slowly and with a slight tremor, causing a strange fluctuation in the nearby space, as if the calm surface of a lake had suddenly rippled outward.

In that brief moment, Han Li's wings trembled behind him, a light breeze blew, and his entire body vanished with the wind.

The Nether Thunder Beast let out a low roar, the raised beast claw suddenly clenched into a fist and struck the empty air thirty zhang away.

With a booming sound, an invisible force exploded outward, followed by an invisible air wave that surged and scattered in all directions, accompanied by a loud humming noise.

A figure stumbled and was violently thrown out from the void.

It was Han Li, his face showing a look of alarm.

This beast actually shattered his teleportation technique with just a lift of hand and foot—its divine power was truly unimaginable.

He immediately shot backward without the slightest pause, and at the same time, he flicked his sleeve, releasing over a dozen blue pearls that rained down like a heavenly flower shower toward the Nether Thunder Beast.

These were the Lei Zhu he had painstakingly refined. Han Li had actually used nearly one-third of his supply at once—truly a desperate move.

Seeing this, the Nether Thunder Beast flashed a hint of mockery in its eyes, its form blurred again as it prepared to use Shadow Evasion to flash past.

But at this moment, Han Li in the distance suddenly revealed a strange expression, and with one hand he abruptly pinched a seal.

Instantly, the Nether Thunder Beast felt a sharp, knife-like pain in its abdomen, its form snapped back into clarity—it had actually had its Shadow Evasion technique broken.

In that brief delay, over a dozen blue pearls had already reached the vicinity.

At this moment, the Nether Thunder Beast suffered excruciating abdominal pain as if being torn by knives, and had no attention to spare for these seemingly insignificant attacks. Only after a crackling sound rang out from its body did it barely activate a layer of silver arcs for protection, then hurriedly checked its internal condition.

Seeing the beast so careless, Han Li's eyes lit up, and without hesitation he activated his spiritual sense.

Over a dozen Lei Zhu trembled simultaneously, green light flashing as they exploded at once. First, over a dozen clusters of green thunder appeared, then, contracting and expanding, they formed vehicle-sized green halos, from which over a dozen powerful streams of thunder-attribute power erupted simultaneously.

A thundercloud the size of several mu appeared instantly, enveloping the unprepared Nether Thunder Beast within.

Amidst the flashing lightning and booming thunder, the Nether Thunder Beast's astonished and furious roar could be heard from within the cloud.

Although this beast was skilled at swallowing thunder and absorbing electricity, this strike was equivalent to the combined attack of several Body Integration cultivators—naturally impossible to absorb. Moreover, at this moment, Han Li was frantically stimulating the Gold-Eating Insects within its body, severely weakening its divine powers, leaving it no choice but to endure the blow head-on.

The heavenly thunder power within the cloud was fully unleashed—countless thick, bowl-sized green arcs crackled and flashed within the clouds, the thunderclaps deafening, filling the surrounding area for over a hundred li with the sound of thunder.
