Chapter 1560

The monster threw the jade bottle in its hand into the air, offering it up.

In an instant, a cluster of green light appeared in midair, a muffled sound rang out, and a phantom identical to the jade bottle flashed into view; after a few flickers, it rapidly expanded to ten zhang in size, and as the humming sound from within the bottle intensified, the bottle's mouth slowly turned toward the distant misty sea.

Almost simultaneously, the blue 'color' waves on the other side underwent an astonishing transformation.

Only seen, at the center of the blue 'color' waves, a dazzling light pillar shot 'out', all the water surfaces surged wildly outward like waterfalls, and at the very center of the waves, a hazy blue gourd, no smaller than the bottle phantom, suddenly floated up; after spinning around, its mouth similarly aimed at the black misty sea.

The two alien beings successively activated their treasures with hand seals; immediately after two 'pu pu' sounds, one spewed a remarkably thick blue 'color' light pillar from the bottle phantom worm, while the other flew out sheets of blue 'color' rosy light from the gourd.

After the two flashes vanished into the misty sea, the nearby black mist suddenly rolled and surged wildly toward the light pillars and blue rosy light.

Then, the black mist spun around and split into two mist pillars that flew out, pouring wildly into the two containers.

The speed at which the two treasures absorbed the mist was astonishingly abnormal.

Wherever the light and blue rosy light passed, in just a moment a large open space was cleared, but immediately the surrounding black mist rolled back to cover it again.

The capacity of these two treasures also seemed boundless; no matter how much black mist poured in continuously, there was no abnormality whatsoever.

At this moment, a phantom flickered above the blue 'color' gourd, and the fish-eyed alien appeared upon it, coldly gazing downward without uttering a word.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the horned youth's transformed giant monster sat cross-legged beneath the bottle phantom, closing its eyes.

Although the two treasures absorbed an astonishing amount of black mist, the vastness of the black misty sea was truly no small matter.

These two aliens stayed nearby for two days and two nights, yet they had only absorbed about one-tenth of the black mist in the misty sea; it seemed that completely draining the entire black misty sea would take no less than one or two months—something not to be even dreamed of.

However, these two aliens were not in a hurry at all, simply continuously activating their two treasures; to them, spending this amount of time was utterly insignificant!

Thus, Han Li, who was using the myriad pearls from elsewhere in the cave dwelling to once again observe this astonishing scene from afar, began to feel speechless and uneasy.

How could he cultivate in peace if these two were to remain here for so long? Ideally, they would take the misty sea and leave, but if they harbored other intentions, that would be disastrous.

However, for him to leave now and take the risk would not be much safer than staying here; therefore, he had never dared to act rashly.

Nevertheless, by this time half a day earlier, Han Li had already tidied up everything in his cave dwelling; aside from the seventy-two gold thunder bamboo used to seal the flying swords, all other important items had been stored in his storage bracelet, prepared to flee at a moment's notice should things truly go awry.

After another day passed, the two aliens simultaneously cast their spells, causing the two container treasures to suddenly expand in size by several times, and their mist-absorption speed also increased greatly at the same time.

Moreover, it was unknown what other divine powers or secret techniques the two aliens had additionally bestowed upon the two treasures; the black 'color' mist pillars flying out from the misty sea, which had originally been only two roots, suddenly transformed into dozens of roots.

As each mist pillar rolled and spun, the black mist within a radius of about one li was rolled up into midair and flew toward the two treasures.

Thus, the misty sea's shrinkage speed increased by more than double, and its density changed almost visibly to the naked eye.

Seeing this, the fish-eyed alien let out a low, hehe laugh from his mouth, turned his head, and said to the horned youth who had resumed his original appearance after casting his spell:

"Min Brother, judging by the speed at which we have deployed the 'Nayuan' technique, we should be able to completely store away all the true spirit yin qi here in just over ten days, thus achieving great success!"

The horned youth smiled upon hearing this, was about to speak in reply, but suddenly his expression changed, and then from an unknown distance deep within the misty sea, a furious long cry echoed out.

As soon as this cry rang out, the originally rolling black 'color' mist pillars heading toward the gourd and bottle phantom paused, then as if struck by some invisible force, they emitted 'peng peng' muffled sounds and scattered apart in disarray.

Regardless of the blue 'color' light pillar and blue rosy light swirling through the misty sea below, the black mist remained utterly still, not a single ripple appearing, as if it had all become a single entity.

Seeing this, the horned youth and the fish-eyed alien couldn't help but exchange a glance, both revealing a solemn 'color'.

At this moment, the distant strange cry suddenly grew louder by several degrees, as if something was rapidly shooting from the deepest part of the misty sea toward this edge.

"What is that thing?" the fish-eyed alien asked abruptly, without preamble.

"Probably!" but the horned youth seemed to know what it was, frowning tightly as he replied.

"I wonder why those Tianpeng people didn't move these true spirit yin qi; it seems they are somewhat wary of this thing. They have always regarded various true spirit birds as divine beings, revering them greatly; most likely, this thing is also some true spirit avian remnant left behind." The fish-eyed alien gave a bitter laugh.

"Quite likely! I just don't know what stage it has evolved to; if it has already reached the final stage, we'd better turn back and leave right away." The horned youth also let out a sigh.

"That's for sure! I don't want to perish in this thing's mouth—then even my primordial spirit essence would be unable to reincarnate." The fish-eyed alien took a deep breath.

This time, the horned youth made no further gestures; instead, he pinched a hand seal and pointed at the great bottle phantom in his mouth.

After a muffled sound, the bottle phantom shattered like foam, a point of green light shot 'out' from within, and a spiraling object fell into the youth's hand.

It was precisely that blue 'color' jade bottle; in the youth's hand it flashed once, then vanished without a trace.

The fish-eyed alien also carefully grabbed with one hand; the surrounding waves instantly scattered and disappeared, and the enormous gourd instantly shrank countless times, falling into his hand.

Immediately, the two aliens stood shoulder to shoulder, then gazed in the direction from which the strange cry came, saying nothing at all.

Though they clearly heard the strange cry as if it were not far away, after waiting a full cup of tea's time, the distant misty sea suddenly transmitted the sound of howling gales, followed by a flash of a white 'color' shadow; a colossal mist entity hundreds of zhang in size shot out from the misty sea, after a few flickers it brought with it a strong fishy stench and arrived in the air above the misty sea's edge, fixing its icy gaze coldly upon the two demons.

It was actually a white bone strange bird with nine different heads! Each head's twin eyes had flickering green ghost flames, and between its massive bone body, strands of pitch-black like ink yin qi coiled and writhed upon it, extending and retracting unpredictably.

Making this bird appear even more ferocious and vicious!

"Nine-headed bird—so this is where the remains of this ferocious bird are hidden!" The fish-eyed alien, upon clearly seeing the white bone bird's appearance, his face 'color' suddenly changed and he cried out in alarm.

"Although fortunately it is still only in the second stage of corpse transformation, not yet evolved into the final stage of the Nine Netherworld Corpse! It is merely an existence comparable to ours! The only trouble is, we don't know how much of the Nine-headed bird's ferocious killing qi remains; if it still retains more than half, we might all have to leave." The horned youth's eyes flashed with a hint of fear, but his voice remained calm.

"Let's give it a try and we'll know. Could Min Brother really bear to give up such true spirit yin qi!" The fish-eyed alien's face 'color' shifted unpredictably as he stared at the bone bird for a moment, then suddenly gritted his teeth and said.

"Naturally I cannot bear to part with it. My later *** urgently needs this thing to increase its power. Let us each try a move." The horned youth raised the corner of his eye, having made up his mind, and said.

As soon as the youth spoke these words, before the fish-eyed alien opposite could reply, the giant bird with nine heads opposite suddenly raised its central head's neck, letting out a mournful long cry, and then its remaining eight heads simultaneously opened their mouths.

A tremendous roar rang out; only seen, fireballs, wind blades, ice cones, lightning and countless other attacks of different 'properties' spewed out simultaneously from the eight heads, densely packed, almost covering half the sky.

The ferocity of the attack could be described as shocking to hear.

Seeing these attacks, the horned youth and the fish-eyed alien instead became calm in expression.

The fish-eyed alien said, "I'll go first!", and then he pinched both hands into seals; suddenly, deep blue 'color' light rosy light rolled across his body without cease, and then one hand pointed seemingly casually at the oncoming sky-covering attack.

With a 'puchi' sound, a blue light shot 'out' from his fingertip; initially just a fine thread, but the moment it left his hand, it instantly transformed into a hazy blue light curtain that directly enveloped both him and the horned youth behind it.

Then, the fish-eyed alien activated a hand seal to drive the light curtain; after flashing several times, it instantly became a blue 'color' ice wall, crystal clear and transparent, standing horizontally in place.

At this very moment, all the attacks had already come howling, as if striking rain on a fence, all hitting the blue 'color' light curtain.

Explosive sounds, piercing whistles, and 'peng peng' noises simultaneously burst and rang out on the ice wall's surface.

As various attacks intertwined and flickered, under the dazzling five-colored 'color' spiritual light, even the entire ice spear was submerged within it.

Seeing this, the nine-headed bone bird's central head could not help but let out a proud cry! Yet the other heads' spitting did not cease in the slightest; indeed, due to the excessive density of attacks, it became even three parts more fierce than at the start.

It seemed this bird intended to annihilate both enemies in one fell swoop.

But just then, a cold snort suddenly rang out from within the five-colored 'color' light; immediately, only a 'zila' crisp sound was heard, as a sheet of deep blue light suddenly surged out from the various lights; this light, after only a few flickers, spread at an unimaginable speed to cover a radius of over a hundred zhang.

Wherever the blue light passed, the entire space twisted and blurred, and any attack that entered its region vanished silently and without a trace.

From within the blue light came the fish-eyed people's urgent chanting.

As the light spun around, it suddenly blazed forth, and a vast expanse of blue light shot straight toward the giant bone bird, wrapping around it.

With such speed, in the span of a single breath, the strange light had reached the bone bird at close range.
