Chapter 1668: Spirit Seed Demonic Power
It was precisely the Gold-Devouring Beetle he had sent to track them.
The insect flickered and vanished into Han Li's sleeve without a trace.
The wisp of divine sense attached to the spirit insect also instantly returned to his consciousness.
Han Li's expression became somewhat dark and unclear!
The information contained in that wisp of divine sense was all absorbed, and everything the Gold-Devouring Beetle had heard and seen became as if he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
And the giant monster face, seeing Han Li block its strike so easily, did not launch another attack immediately, but instead scanned Han Li with cold, gloomy eyes, seemingly having a few traces of wariness.
"That demonic ape's aura vanished earlier; could it be that you killed it?" After a long while, a deep voice came from the giant face.
"Oh, your senses are quite sharp. Since I am here, that demonic ape naturally no longer exists in this world." Han Li's eyes flashed, and he replied slowly.
"Hmph, that was cheap for you. That demonic ape originally settled here to recuperate because I lured it here, intending to swallow it as a great supplement after I cultivated a True Spirit body. That demonic ape actually thought the Heaven and Earth naturally had such pure demonic Qi." The giant face said noncommittally.
Upon hearing this, Han Li's expression changed, but he immediately replied with his usual expression:
"So that's how it is. I said that the demonic Qi here was so pure, it would be hard for that demonic ape to gather it in its injured state. So it was your doing. But what kind of existence are you? I am somewhat curious. Could it be some kind of Heaven and Earth Spirit?"
"What Heaven and Earth Spirit? It's just a wisp of void mirage Qi born from the power of a True Spirit. Originally, it wouldn't have any spirituality, just a stupid thing that knew nothing. But it was controlled and possessed by a wisp of external power, which made it so cunning. Brother Han needs to be more careful." The azure Qilin suddenly spoke.
"Are you still Fairy Xianxian now?" Han Li asked, his expression shifting as he heard the pleasant woman's voice from the Qilin.
"Of course it is this junior. However, my current state is somewhat peculiar; it is a temporary combination of two divine senses controlling this Qilin Dharma Idol, but it is still mainly my consciousness." The azure Qilin sighed and replied exceptionally honestly.
"So to speak, Fairy Xianxian's main purpose in leading me here was actually for this so-called True Qilin Origin. The matter of repairing the Heavenly Demon Armor with a Saint-tier demonic core wouldn't be a complete scam, would it?" Han Li stared at the azure Qilin, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Of course not. Repairing the Heavenly Demon Armor does indeed require a Saint-tier demonic core. As for the True Qilin Origin, I admit I did indeed have the intention of using you, Brother Han, but in reality, you have suffered no loss; I was just acting on the opportunity. Since that Saint-tier demonic ape was killed by you, I think the fact that it was heavily injured is also true." Xianxian's voice became pitiful.
"What you said is indeed not wrong. I have indeed suffered no loss. But now it seems your plan didn't go very smoothly and encountered quite a few accidents." Han Li glanced at the man surnamed Gui's incarnations and then at the giant monster face below, a strange look appearing on his face.
"I indeed didn't expect things to turn out like this. But as long as we remove the 'Cave Spirit' below, we can still obtain the True Qilin Origin. This item is a wisp of origin power left behind when the True Spirit Qilin was born. Any living being that obtains it can be reborn and gain unimaginable benefits. Not to mention anything else, if Brother Han obtains even a wisp of it, advancing to the Body Integration stage will absolutely not be a problem."
This woman was also quite decisive! She gritted her teeth and revealed the ins and outs of the True Qilin Origin.
To her, since swallowing this item alone was no longer very possible, and she was the weakest existence present, it was better to win over Han Li to deal with the others.
"What does that mean? Do you want to split the True Qilin Origin with this person? If we are to split it, split it from your share; I will not split half of mine with anyone." The silver dragon transformed by the man surnamed Gui said coldly.
"No problem at all. Brother Han, I will make another deal with you. Help me kill the 'Cave Spirit' below, and I will split a wisp of the True Qilin Origin with you. You don't possess the True Qilin intent, so this wisp is enough; too much would be harmful rather than beneficial. Furthermore, refining this origin power requires a special method. When the time comes, this junior will tell you truthfully." Xianxian's voice came from the Qilin phantom, sounding gentle.
Han Li narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
Allowing him to advance to the Body Integration stage? This temptation was naturally immense. However, he was hearing about the "True Qilin Origin" for the first time, so he was naturally half-believing and half-doubting.
But before Han Li could make a decision, the giant monster face below suddenly let out a series of unpleasant, mocking laughs:
"Splitting the True Qilin Origin! Do you really think you still have that chance? Calculate the time; it should be about right. Don't you two feel something wrong with your bodies?"
Upon hearing the giant face's words, the man surnamed Gui and Xianxian were both shocked, naturally subconsciously gathering their spiritual sense to check their internal conditions.
As a result, almost at the same time, the man surnamed Gui's two human incarnations let out screams, and countless pitch-black hairs shot out from their skin, dense and thick, instantly tearing these two incarnations into countless fragments.
Two giant strange objects, like black sea urchins, appeared in the void.
The two green fires transformed by the incarnations' split souls were also pierced through by the black hairs; before they could escape, they were bizarrely absorbed in the flashing black light.
And the silver dragon transformed by the man surnamed Gui's main body, although not exploded, also had black hairs appearing on its silver scales. With a low roar, it became stiff and plummeted straight down from the air, crashing heavily into the ground.
As for the azure Qilin phantom, it was also pierced through by countless black hairs, its size shrinking to about a zhang, and after a flash, it reverted to the original appearance of the woman, Xianxian.
Only at this moment, her body was completely wrapped in a ball of dazzling azure light, with dense black hairs expanding and contracting within, actually deadlocked.
Although the crystal-race woman didn't plummet from the air, her slender body was trembling unceasingly, her beautiful face filled with an expression of extreme pain, and she was also unable to move.
Han Li witnessed this scene and was stunned!
"Impossible, when did you play tricks on our bodies?" Xianxian endured the internal changes and shouted angrily.
"When? Naturally when you were inside my main body just now. You thought I was how I strangled the others who came here to take the True Qilin Origin before. As long as you enter my body, planting a Spirit Seed in your bodies is as easy as pie. Even if you didn't die, you are now no stronger than a puppet. Now, as long as I solve this unexpected meddler, I will have fulfilled my mission."
As soon as he finished speaking, a ferocious look appeared on the giant face, and suddenly thunder roared on its body, and countless black electric arcs turned into countless black swords, slashing toward Han Li with menacing momentum.
Before they truly approached, hundreds of black swords suddenly scattered, then began to spin like windmills, and at the same time, streams of black electric arcs sprayed from them, connecting into one amidst the roaring sound.
In the blink of an eye, a black giant net the size of a mu appeared around Han Li, surrounding him tightly from all directions.
"Sword Formation"
Han Li raised an eyebrow and muttered to himself, revealing a strange expression.
A strange incantation came from the giant face, and thunder roared; amidst the flashing black electric arcs, the entire giant net, driven by hundreds of black lightning swords, began to close in toward the center.
Han Li's expression shifted for an instant, and he grabbed into the void on one side with one hand.
The azure giant sword that had originally been elsewhere flickered and vanished. The next moment, the space in front of Han Li flickered, and the azure giant sword appeared bizarrely.
He pointed lightly at the giant sword with one hand.
Instantly, after a clear ringing sound like a dragon's roar, the giant sword turned into seventy-two azure sword lights, circling and flying around Han Li.
Han Li pinched a spell seal in his heart.
The flying swords trembled, and suddenly one turned into two, two into four.
In an instant, hundreds of identical sword lights appeared, and amidst the brilliant azure light, they turned into an azure giant lotus, wrapping Han Li inside.
As the lotus petals spun, circles of azure sword light shot out like a rainstorm.
A muffled sound erupted, and the black electric net shattered and broke under the violent slashing of the azure light.
But the smile on his face hadn't yet appeared! Thunder roared, and the shattered black electric arcs actually gathered with intelligence, condensing into an identical black giant net in the black light, still closing in on Han Li as if nothing had happened.
Han Li's expression changed drastically.
At the same time, the giant face let out a mocking laugh, and its massive body twisted and deformed, actually growing four thick limbs amidst the flashing black light, its body changing from bloated to tall and strong, turning into a pitch-black Qilin.
The Qilin was several hundred zhang tall, looking from afar like a pitch-black mountain, seemingly even more massive than its previous form.
That giant monster face was exactly on the Qilin's forehead, its twisted features exceptionally eye-catching, making the beast reveal a few traces of eerie demonic Qi.
As soon as the transformation was complete, the black Qilin raised one of its front limbs and stepped into the void at Han Li's position.
Instantly, violent space ripples arose more than ten zhang above Han Li, and with a flash of black light, a pitch-black giant foot appeared like a heaven-supporting pillar.
Before it truly stepped down, an invisible giant force appeared out of thin air, covering downward.
Han Li, inside the azure sword light, felt a tightening all around, as if a giant steel hoop had fallen upon him, intending to bind him in place and wait for death.
The giant black foot descended.
And at this moment, the black giant net also arrived nearby. The "hissing" sound of the electric arcs seemed close at hand.
At this critical moment, Han Li's face didn't reveal any panic, but he took a deep breath, his body suddenly shone with brilliant golden light, golden scales appeared bizarrely on his skin, and his pair of golden arms spread to the left and right simultaneously.
A series of muffled "bangs" erupted! The binding all around was actually broken by Han Li with even greater force.
