Chapter 1524: Jia Yuan Fu
The great roc transformed into a streak of azure light in the air, and with a flap of its wings, it shot forward more than ten zhang in an instant, its speed akin to lightning and thunder.
However, as Han Li had transformed into the great roc, the Dayan Scripture within his body was operating frenziedly, using his powerful spiritual sense to forcibly wrap the four demon kings' marks.
But these demon kings' marks were simply too strong. Even though he employed several secret arts from the Dayan True Scripture and simultaneously borrowed the power of the roc after transformation, it was only a temporary 'seal'. At most, after one day and night, the marks would break through the seal and reappear.
Han Li did this naturally to let the six-legged demon kings and others believe he had already perished, so as to facilitate his subsequent actions.
What needs to be done now is to quickly rescue Yuan Yao and the other two women from the Ghost Mother Po, then find an extremely yin place to have them expel the marks. Only then can he completely eliminate this major concern.
Under normal circumstances, Han Li could not possibly achieve this. However, with the Nether Thunder Beast providing cover, it is naturally another matter.
Calculating the time he bought for those few demon kings, it is not too long; they should have just entered the so-called 'Divine Pool Land' not long ago. Even if they knew this beast had returned, given their emphasis on the Nether River God's 'milk', they would absolutely not hastily retreat after all their efforts.
When the Nether Thunder Beast escaped from the Nine Palaces Heavenly Stem Symbol and returned to its nest in a fury, it should just happen to block these few demon kings.
By then, with the misfortune diverted eastward, as long as he does not confront Liu Zu, Mu Qing, and others head-on, rescuing Yuan Yao and the other two women still holds great promise.
Han Li's mind raced with thoughts, and the roc he had transformed into sped back along the original path with lightning speed.
As he was about to re-enter the gray 'color' mountain range, a faint muffled sound suddenly came from the roc's body.
The azure light flashed, and the great roc instantly transformed into human form.
Han Li flicked his sleeve, and a white 'color' jade tablet flew out, spinning once before landing in his hand.
The jade tablet bore the imprint of a huge Nine Palaces diagram, but at this moment it had shattered from the center into countless pieces.
Han Li's face 'color' changed, and he unconsciously glanced behind him, then immediately put the tablet away. With another hand, he brushed his storage bracelet, and as spiritual light flickered, a purple 'color' talisman bearing mysterious runes appeared in his hand.
It was indeed the Taiyi Qinghua Fu!
Han Li hesitated no further, lightly shaking the talisman in front of him with one hand, then immediately loosening his fingers.
The purple talisman burst open, and several silver-glittering runes emerged, fluttering up and down around Han Li.
With a few 'pu chi' soft sounds, the talisman transformed into clusters of silver mist, which in the blink of an eye engulfed him.
Shortly after, the silver mist dissipated, and the spot was actually empty of anyone.
Han Li had already rendered his body illusory and was slowly descending downward, finally hiding beneath a large tree, then raising his head to gaze silently at the sky.
After a full meal's worth of time, faint thunder rumbled from the horizon.
Soon after, a flash of lightning appeared in the sky, and the Nether Thunder Beast, wrapped in electric arcs, swept past from nearby airspace without noticing Han Li hidden in the mountain range below.
After a few flashes, the silver arcs vanished into nothingness at the horizon.
Han Li's eyes flickered, yet he remained hidden beneath the tree, motionless.
After half an incense stick's time had passed, Han Li felt the time was about right, then he shook his shoulders, a silver light flashed, and his figure gradually appeared.
Silver 'color' runes flew out from his body one after another, gathering in the lower air to illusorily form a purple 'color' talisman, which drifted down lightly.
Han Li made a grabbing motion with one hand, and the purple talisman turned into a streak of purple light that vanished into his sleeve.
Immediately after, azure light rose on his body, and he once again transformed into a streak of azure rainbow flying toward the horizon. The direction and the earlier Nether Thunder Beast's path were exactly the same!
Not long after, Han Li returned to the original black 'color' light curtain.
When his escape light faded, he hovered in the nearby air, swept his gaze downward, and his expression 'color' changed slightly.
Below, scorched fumes rose to the sky, thousands of ghostly corpses piled up on the nearby ground, mostly pitch-black, as if they had been swept over by furious thunder, while all around, yin winds rolled, leaving behind strong abnormal restriction fluctuations, as if they had only been half-set up before being forcibly broken.
Han Li's expression 'color' flashed, and a few traces of surprise and doubt appeared on his face.
He naturally did not know that the Blood Armor Puppet and others had a yellow sparrow behind them. And after the Weeping Soul devoured the white-robed ghost woman, these ghostly beings had no idea the Nether Thunder Beast would return so quickly; by the time they tried to hide and disguise themselves, it was too late, and naturally they were reduced to ashes by the furious beast using countless thunderbolts.
If the Blood Armor Puppet knew the backup left outside had been swept away clean, it would naturally jump and curse in anger. If the white-robed ghost woman were present, she could have notified those ghostly beings in advance via the Myriad Distance Talisman, allowing them to leisurely avoid the Nether Thunder Beast and then continue setting up the yin formation. He had let a high-level ghostly being secretly monitor Han Li and the Nether Thunder Beast's movements, originally intending this above.
But he did not expect that Han Li would ruin it.
Han Li circled in the low air, found no living ghostly beings. He did not know whether they had all been slaughtered by the Nether Thunder Beast or the remaining ghostly beings had already fled far away.
Han did not dwell on this further; when his brow twitched and he resumed his form, his gaze fell upon the blue-light-flashing passage.
Han Li 'rubbed' his chin, began to 'ponder'.
But after his gaze flashed, he shook his sleeve, and a stack of silver 'color' talismans flew out from his body. As the runes flickered, it was indeed another set of Nine Palaces Heavenly Stem Talismans.
Because they are difficult to refine, Han Li had only refined two sets of these talismans in total. One set had already been used before, so this is naturally the last set of Nine Palaces Heavenly Stem Talismans.
Han Li pinched the seal with both hands and cast a series of law decisions at these talismans.
An incredible scene appeared.
Under Han Li's activation, the silver 'color' talismans shot toward the passage entrance one after another, but in the nearby void they all vanished without a trace.
It seemed Han Li had employed some secret art to conceal this set of talismans.
Han Li withdrew the law decision in his hand, his eyes flashing with blue light as he surveyed the hiding place of these talismans, nodding in satisfaction.
Then he thought of something else, flipped his palm over, and another two silver 'color' talismans appeared.
However, these talismans were completely different from the previous Nine Palaces Heavenly Stem Talismans; they bore no flickering runes, but instead each was imprinted with a faint human silhouette, all with blurred facial features, wearing a full-body gold 'color' battle armor.
On one of the silver talismans, the silhouette held a gold 'color' long spear. On the other talisman, it was holding knives in both hands.
Marvelously, the two silhouettes on the talismans slowly swayed, occasionally swinging their weapons, appearing as if they were alive.
Han Li produced these talismans, then pressed them together in his two hands. Instantly, silver light flickered, and the two talismans exploded with two 'peng peng' sounds. In the silver light, two gold 'color' illusory figures flashed and shot out, circled once nearby, then shot toward the ground like startling rainbows.
They actually sank into the ground, Han Li's reflection on the ground's surface.
Han Li floated in mid-air, not particularly high, but his reflection on the ground was also extremely faint. Yet just so, the faint gold 'color' illusory figures from the two talismans sank into it, vanished instantly, leaving no trace.
This is exactly the 'Jia Yuan Fu' talisman from another jade scroll fragment that Han Li refined.
This type of talisman, he had only refined three copies; he had just used two of them at once, showing how much he valued this endeavor.
This is no wonder, for the entities within the black 'color' light curtain are all terrifying existences at the Body Integration level or above. None of them he could handle directly, so he could only make more preparations, just in case.
After Han Li unleashed the Jia Yuan Fu, he did not stop; opening his mouth, he spat out a cluster of silver 'color' fireball, which spun around and turned into a continuously large Spirit-Eating Fire Bird.
Han Li then raised one hand, and more than ten azure 'color' thunder pearls shot out, which were all swallowed whole by the silver 'color' fire bird with one bite.
Immediately, this fire bird circled once, then plunged headfirst into a nearby giant green sky tree, hiding itself.
After doing all this, Han Li exhaled a long breath, recentred his mind, then moved one hand, and another purple 'color' talisman appeared between his fingers. With a flick, his figure turned into mist and became illusory within it.
Han Li drifted slowly toward the seemingly dragon-pool-tiger-'cave' blue-'colored' entrance, entering it silently and without a sound.
Fang Yi emerged from the black-'colored' light curtain; Han Li swept his gaze over and couldn't help but frown slightly.
All around was pitch black, utterly dark.
Only in some distant or nearby places were there some blue-'colored' stones flickering with a faint light, making Han Li almost think he had returned to the abyss again.
But with his spiritual eyes, he naturally wouldn't pay attention to these.
Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and everything nearby became clear to him.
The vicinity looked extremely desolate; aside from some stones of various sizes on the ground, there was nothing else in sight.
Even looking far into the distance, not a single tall tree appeared in his view; occasionally some vegetation was nothing more than some low, abnormal shrubs.
Han Li inhaled a few breaths of it, sensing the unusually dense spiritual energy in the surrounding air, and secretly felt somewhat strange in his heart.
However, he did not linger at the entrance; his body rose and he flew forward.
Although he didn't know where the so-called Divine Pool was, generally speaking, heading toward the center of the restriction would not be wrong.
Even with his body etherealized, Han Li's escape speed was still not slow; a distance of over ten li was covered in the blink of an eye.
As a result, Han Li's eyes brightened, and in the distant darkness, a palace-like structure faintly appeared.
This structure was not particularly tall, only several tens of zhang high, and appeared to be built entirely of rough, ordinary stones piled together, but it was enough to confirm he hadn't come to the wrong place.
Han Li immediately activated his magic formula and swiftly flew toward the palace.
The palace's entrance was a square gate over ten zhang high, with a black-'colored' stone door flung wide open outward.
Han Li instinctively swept his spiritual sense near the gate, when suddenly his eyes flashed with an unusual 'color' and his body came to an abrupt halt.
On each side of this stone door there was a strong yin energy, as if two high-ranking ghostly beings were hidden there.
Han Li felt somewhat surprised in his heart, but upon reflection, considering the thousands of ghostly beings that had been exterminated at the entrance, he suddenly understood.
