Chapter 1663: Reappearance of Profound Heaven

"Mountain-Crushing Giant Ape!"

Although this was Han Li's first time seeing this legendary True Spirit, he immediately confirmed its identity in his heart.

After all, only this True Spirit possessed such strange patterns on its chest.

This demonic ape truly possessed the bloodline of a Mountain-Crushing Ape; otherwise, it would have been absolutely impossible for it to manifest this Dharma Idol.

Han Li gazed at the purple phantom within the sword formation, a trace of fiery heat flashing in his eyes.

This Mountain-Crushing Giant Ape was precisely one of the transformations in the Twelve Transformations of Hibernating Insects.

If he could obtain the blood of this ape's True Spirit, not only would he immediately gain a new divine ability, but the power of his other transformations would also increase significantly.

Han Li thought to himself, his desire to kill this Saint-tier demonic ape growing even stronger.

However, it was clear that using ordinary divine abilities would not be enough to deal with this demon.

After a moment of hesitation, Han Li took a deep breath, suddenly flicked his sleeve, and an inconspicuous ring fell into his hand.

It was the Spirit Beast Ring filled with Gold-Devouring Beetles!

He actually intended to use this great killing weapon to deal with the demonic ape's primordial spirit.

Releasing too many Gold-Devouring Beetles at once would certainly cause great damage to his spiritual sense, but if he could end the battle in a short time, it would naturally remain Han Li's trump card.

With Han Li's current spiritual sense power after advancing to the Void Refinement stage, he could support the use of over a hundred Gold-Devouring Beetles for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

But if the number of spirit insects were doubled, the duration of control would instantly drop to a quarter of the original time.

If not for the assistance of the Spring Dawn Sword Formation, Han Li might not have dared to act rashly. But now that the demon was trapped within the sword formation, its space for maneuvering and dodging was greatly restricted, making it the perfect battlefield for the Gold-Devouring Beetles.

According to Han Li's calculations, given the ferocity of mature Gold-Devouring Beetles, releasing over a hundred at once would be enough to finish off the opponent in one-third of the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.

His only hesitation was that after his spiritual sense was heavily depleted, most of his divine abilities would be weakened. If he encountered any strong enemies on the return journey, it would be somewhat dangerous.

But this thought only flashed through Han Li's mind for an instant!

To him, resolving the immediate great enemy was naturally the most important thing. Everything else could be temporarily cast to the back of his mind.

But before Han Li could sacrifice the Spirit Beast Ring from his sleeve, the blood-colored demonic ape in the sword formation suddenly let out a low shout, stopped its chanting, and spat out a mass of blood-colored mist.

It flashed and vanished into the blood-colored broken blade.

As the blade spun, the pitch-black demonic Qi that had originally emerged began to churn violently.

A loud humming sound arose, and dots of black light appeared near the broken blade, subsequently spreading to every corner of the sword formation.

Han Li was startled, suddenly feeling that the surrounding Heaven and Earth spiritual energy was not quite right, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look around.

The result left him shocked!

He saw that the deathly still demonic Qi in the passage was now churning, and from within it, sheets of black light were flying out, rolling toward the sword formation.

The Spring Dawn Sword Formation seemed to have turned into a giant vortex, sucking in all these black mists.

However, after these black mists reached the vicinity of the sword formation, they were blocked outside by the azure light screen, forming dense clusters of black light orbs, yet they could not truly enter the sword formation.

"True Demonic Qi!"

With just one glance, Han Li immediately recognized the true nature of these black mists, and the corners of his eyes twitched wildly.

But at this moment, a heaven-shaking loud noise erupted from the sword formation, and the entire passage shook violently as if it were collapsing.

Following this, a terrifying spiritual pressure surged into the sky from the sword formation, causing even the nearby light screen to sway unsteadily.

Han Li was startled; without thinking, he turned his gaze back to the center of the sword formation!

A bizarre scene appeared before Han Li.

The entire sword formation was filled with countless runes of various sizes! Each rune flickered with a pale black light, expanding and contracting in a dim, intermittent rhythm.

At the center of these runes, the blood-colored broken blade floated silently.

The missing upper half of the blade had been restored to completeness at some unknown time. Furthermore, on the originally blood-red blade itself, a row of three unknown pale golden ancient characters had appeared, shimmering with light.

After Han Li narrowed his eyes, he discovered to his horror:

The flickering of the black runes in the sword formation was perfectly synchronized with the flickering of the broken blade, as if they were all controlled by this sword!

A burst of strange laughter erupted from the demonic ape to the side, and it suddenly pinched a spell seal with both hands.

Its own body did not move, but the purple giant ape phantom above its head stretched out a large hand and sucked the blood-colored broken blade into its grasp.

Then, with a seemingly casual flick, an incredible thing happened!

The golden ancient characters on the surface of the broken blade flowed as if they had come to life, and then, with a burst of brilliant light, it emitted a clear, ringing sound!

Han Li suddenly felt the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in the sword formation become chaotic, and the black runes shot toward the broken blade like moths to a flame.

At the same time, the surface of the broken blade released circles of black light halos.

As soon as all the runes touched these halos, they vanished without a trace like mud into the sea.

And the broken blade itself turned a shade darker.

After all the dense runes were absorbed by the halos, the halos disappeared silently, and the clear ringing sound stopped abruptly.

The broken blade itself had changed from blood-red to pitch-black as ink, and as the giant ape flicked it slightly, the three ancient characters on its surface suddenly shone with brilliant golden light, appearing even more mysterious.

But Han Li's pupils shrank suddenly; he pressed one hand against his other arm, his eyes fixed on the ink-colored blade in the opponent's hand, his expression instantly turning pale and bloodless.

"Profound Heaven Treasure! Impossible. With such a supreme treasure that can reverse the laws of Heaven and Earth, how could you still be heavily injured here..." Han Li said, word by word, in an almost trembling voice.

"How do you know it is a Profound Heaven Treasure!" Upon hearing Han Li's words, the demonic ape's expression changed drastically, its voice becoming vicious, and purple light flashed in its eyes as if it wanted to devour someone.

But at this moment, Han Li had no intention of answering the demonic ape's question.

Because at this moment, the arm he was pressing was burning with an intense, stinging pain, and that was precisely the place where the Profound Heaven Sword was sealed.

And this strange phenomenon on his arm appeared precisely when the Mountain-Crushing Giant Ape had just obtained the demonic blade and flicked it a few times, erupting without the slightest warning.

He could clearly feel that the Profound Heaven Sword, which had been quietly sealed in his arm, seemed to be stimulated by the ink-colored blade in the opponent's hand, becoming restless.

Only then did a flash of inspiration strike Han Li's mind, leading him to blurt out the origin of the broken blade just now.

Now that he saw the demonic ape did not deny it, Han Li's heart sank.

Not to mention that most of his magic power was currently being used to desperately suppress the Profound Heaven Sword in his arm, even if he used the Gold-Devouring Beetles, he had no confidence at all whether they would be useful against an opponent holding a Profound Heaven Treasure.

And he still had vivid memories of the consequences of using the Profound Heaven Treasure last time; he was one hundred and twenty percent unwilling to repeat the same mistake.

After all, this place was a dangerous area filled with demonic beasts; once his magic power was lost again, it would be no different from suicide.

However, he had not forgotten a single detail of the heaven-shaking power he had unleashed when he used the Profound Heaven Sword last time.

Even if the opponent's broken blade didn't have similar power, as long as it had half the power of the treasure sealed in his arm, he would absolutely be unable to withstand a single slash.

No matter how miraculous the Spring Dawn Sword Formation was, how could it resist the power of laws?

The demonic ape in the sword formation, seeing that Han Li had no intention of answering, became furious and, without further hesitation, violently urged the Dharma Idol above its head.

The Mountain-Crushing Giant Ape phantom immediately held the demonic blade vertically, aiming it precisely at Han Li's position.

Han Li's eyes twitched, cold sweat broke out on his back, and he was drenched in sweat.

With the power of a Profound Heaven Treasure to tear through the void, even if he wanted to escape, it was nothing but a pipe dream.

Right now, it seemed he either had to wait for death or use the Profound Heaven Sword sealed in his arm to resist.

Neither of these consequences was something he wanted to accept.

But seeing the opponent's Dharma Idol already raising the black-light-flashing broken blade, he had no time to think of other means.

"No, the opponent has already lost its physical body, and its cultivation is only equivalent to mine; how could it drive a Profound Heaven Treasure! The thing driving the broken blade now is not itself; could it be..."

In his desperation, Han Li's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he felt he had grasped something.

At this moment, a ferocious look flashed across the demonic ape's face, and the ink-colored blade held by the purple Dharma Idol began to descend slowly.

Han Li was shocked, gritted his teeth, and changed his five fingers from pressing his arm to pulling.

With a muffled "clatter," a pale yellow wooden stick appeared in his hand.

It was precisely the Profound Heaven Fruit.

Han Li did not hesitate for a second; with a flick of his wrist, he threw the Profound Heaven Fruit into the air.

With a flash of golden light, the Brahma Saint True Demonic Dharma Idol appeared once again, and one of its golden arms moved, grabbing the Profound Heaven Fruit into its hand.

Then, its remaining arms each pinched a spell seal.

The Three-Headed Six-Armed Dharma Idol shone with brilliant golden light.

Subsequently, all the golden light surged into the Profound Heaven Fruit like a flowing river, causing the fruit to become dazzlingly bright, and the ink-green patterns on its surface became even more vibrant.

Seeing this, Han Li's face instantly revealed a look of great joy.

But at this moment, a muffled "poof" sound came from the sword formation.

A pitch-black ripple surged out from the ink-colored blade; at first, it seemed inconspicuous, but after flying out more than ten zhang, it rolled up black waves several zhang high, charging toward Han Li with menacing momentum.

With just a flash, the black waves crashed into the azure light screen.

The azure light screen immediately hummed, and countless azure lotuses appeared once again, as if they were endless.

But the next moment, an unbelievable thing happened.

As soon as the black waves surged, all the azure lotuses that were submerged within them, regardless of size, vanished into ashes.

With another flash, the azure light screen was pierced through as if it were made of paper.

Han Li's eyes twitched; he didn't even bother to look, but violently urged his spell.

Suddenly, countless five-colored light spots appeared all around, rushing toward the Profound Heaven Fruit like moths to a flame.

With a "poof," a flash of emerald light appeared at one end of the Profound Heaven Fruit, and suddenly, a sword blade of pale light, a chi in length, shot out.

This sword blade was exceptionally bright, its surface smooth as a mirror, but in the center, a row of five emerald runes was engraved, with cold light flickering unsteadily.
