Chapter 1683

The five-colored sword of light moved and slowly descended toward the bottom.

The giant toad secretly cried "Not good," and the black-red wind-fire pillar beside it rolled toward the sky first with a "Boom."

Wherever the power of wind and fire passed, the air twisted and humming sounds erupted, as if even the void were being torn open. In just a flash, it had rolled the five-colored sword of light into itself.

Amidst the flashing purple light, shocking rumbles drifted from within, and even the light curtain transformed by the sword array trembled violently, appearing as if it could shatter at any moment.

The giant toad's expression relaxed, and it couldn't help but reveal a smile.

In its view, this fused great divine ability, which had almost exhausted all the potential of the possessed giant toad and borrowed the power of the spirit bead between its brows, was absolutely not something that a sword array could withstand.

Even its main body, when facing this move, would likely avoid its sharp edge.

However, the moment the smile appeared on the giant toad's face, a clear cry like a dragon's roar suddenly drifted from the power of wind and fire, and then the black-red fire pillar suddenly split bizarrely.

Amidst the flashing five-colored spiritual light, a giant sword over a foot long emerged from within.

Light flashed, and the giant sword trembled, emitting a hum.

The nearby power of wind and fire seemed to have encountered some incredible force, scattering and avoiding it with strange humming sounds, completely revealing the giant sword.

The five-colored giant sword spun, and slashed gently toward the giant toad.

Silent and soundless, it appeared to have no power at all!

But the gray bead between the giant toad's brows suddenly shattered with a "Bang."

"Impossible!"

The giant toad suddenly let out a shrill scream, and its tightly shut eyes actually forced themselves open.

The eyeballs were bright red like blood, with blood faintly flowing out.

But the next moment, the demon's head, along with its massive body, split in two without any warning.

A surge of crimson flames erupted from the severed flesh, transforming into a sea of crimson fire.

And the giant toad's remains seemed to weather instantly, dissolving into two streams of gray-white dust within the flames and vanishing from the world without a trace.

This possessed giant toad, under the power of the Sword of Origin Energy, could not withstand a single slash, and even its Primordial Spirit could not escape in the slightest.

Green light flashed in the sky, and Han Li's figure emerged within the sword array. Looking at the raging flames below, he sighed lightly.

"Borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth is truly incomparable to ordinary secret techniques. Back then, when facing that demon ape, if I hadn't been in the demonic energy passage, unable to gather enough Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, I should have been able to slay that demon with this Sword of Origin Energy as well. There would have been no need to use the Profound Heaven Treasure and damage my Dharma Form."

After Han Li finished speaking to himself, a look of regret appeared on his face, but a blue light flashed in his eyes as he looked carefully at the sea of fire, suddenly raising his brows and grabbing with one hand.

With a "Whoosh," an object shot out from the sea of fire, and in just a few flashes, it was captured in his hand.

It was a pale blue bag, with several different runes inscribed on its surface, flashing and glowing; it did not appear to be an ordinary object.

"Storage bag?" Han Li showed a hint of surprise, feeling somewhat uncertain.

He pondered for a moment, and the palm holding the bag suddenly turned pitch-black like ink. At the same time, sheets of gray mist sprayed from his palm, tightly wrapping the bag. Then, he raised his hand, and a green spell shot out, vanishing into the bag in a flash.

The blue bag shook violently, and the light at its opening flashed, slowly opening.

With a "Puff" sound.

A cluster of blue light shot out from within, appearing as if it were about to break through the air and leave.

But Han Li had long been prepared; how could he let it escape?

With a cold snort, the gray mist surged and rolled back, instantly covering the blue light cluster.

As the gray mist and blue light intertwined, the light cluster revealed its true form.

It was a crystal-clear, hazy blue bead.

It was the size of a thumb, with strange light flowing on its surface, appearing like glazed glass.

"This is..." Han Li swept his spiritual sense over it, feeling somewhat surprised.

"Inner core? No. But it doesn't seem like a magic tool either!"

Han Li raised his hand to draw the bead over, clamped it between two fingers, and examined it, but was unable to determine its origin for a moment.

"Forget it, I'll study it carefully later. For now, I should leave this place as quickly as possible."

After a moment of thought, Han Li flipped his hand, took out a jade box, and placed the bead inside.

Then he looked at the crimson flames below, his expression shifting.

He made no unusual movements.

In the green light curtain in the air, silver light flashed, and the Spirit-Devouring Firebird shot out, diving into the sea of fire.

The raging flames were sucked into the Spirit-Devouring Firebird in an instant.

Afterward, it happily raised its neck and let out a clear cry, spread its wings, and flew toward Han Li, vanishing into his body.

Han Li pinched a spell with both hands, and the green light curtain covering the sky retracted, revealing lotuses covering the sky.

These green lotuses spun slightly, transforming back into seventy-two small green swords.

Han Li moved, transforming into a green rainbow, dancing in the air.

The flying swords were instantly collected.

Afterward, his escape light did not stop for a moment, shooting directly toward the horizon. In just a few flashes, he vanished without a trace.

At the same time Han Li slew the giant toad, in a magnificent palace deep within a massive mountain of the Demon Gold Mountain Range, a green-robed man standing shoulder-to-shoulder with two others, gazing at a pitch-black gate not far away, suddenly changed his expression, his look becoming extremely ugly.

"What is it, Brother Tie, is something the matter?" A blood-robed person beside him asked upon seeing the man's anomaly.

"Nothing, one of my parasitic incarnations has been destroyed." The green-robed man did not intend to hide it, saying slowly.

"Parasitic incarnation? Is it the incarnation Brother Tie refined using the Demon Bone Bead?" Another old man, whose entire body flashed with silver light and who had a refined appearance, asked with a flash of strange light in his eyes.

"Hehe, Brother Duoyan is quite knowledgeable about Brother Tie's divine abilities." The green-robed man seemed not to like the old man very much, chuckling.

"If a Demon Bone Bead incarnation is attached to a suitable subordinate, it should be able to exert no less than two or three tenths of the main body's divine abilities. With such strength, apart from the three of us, no one in the Demon Gold Mountain Range should be able to destroy this incarnation." The silver-robed old man continued to ask, completely unconcerned.

"That's not necessarily true. Has Brother Duoyan forgotten that back then, apart from the few of us who followed the Holy Ancestor to the Spirit Realm, there was another fellow of the same rank as us. That demon ape's divine abilities are no less than those of the three of us." The blood-robed person said with a light laugh.

"Hmph, that demon ape actually dared to steal the Profound Heaven remnant treasure that the Holy Ancestor entrusted to us for safekeeping and fled. How would it dare to appear here again." The silver-robed old man sneered.

"That's not necessarily true. I estimate that the reason it would do so is mostly to seek a method outside to repair that Profound Heaven remnant treasure, and then use this treasure to return to the Holy Realm." The blood-robed person replied unconcernedly.

"Repair the Profound Heaven remnant treasure! Does it think this is still our Ancient Demon Realm? The great divine ability users of this realm are no less powerful than the Holy Ancestors of our Holy Realm. If it weren't for the fact that we were truly forced with no other way, the Holy Ancestor would not have risked destroying the Profound Heaven Treasure to break open the interface and forcibly send us to this place." The silver-robed old man said with flashing eyes.

"No need to guess wildly! After I return and use a secret technique to investigate, I will know who destroyed the incarnation. Furthermore, the last time my incarnation sent a message back, it seemed that Brother Xuebi's beloved daughter was also nearby." The green-robed man said indifferently.

"Xue Ying! Brother Tie doesn't mean to say that your parasitic incarnation was destroyed by my daughter, does he?" The blood-robed person laughed, saying with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Relying on your daughter alone, naturally, it wouldn't be possible. But if you add a demon crocodile that has just advanced to the Saint rank, it is highly possible." The green-robed man gazed at the blood-robed person, speaking word by word.

"What, advanced to the Saint rank?"

"Are you talking about that demon crocodile?"

This time, the blood-robed person and the silver-robed old man were both startled, asking in shock.

"The two fellow Daoists need not be surprised; I think before long, your subordinates will personally report this news. As for that demon crocodile, which one could it be? Naturally, it is that Black Abyss Crocodile." The green-robed man chuckled bitterly.

"So it is it. It should be it!" Upon hearing the demon crocodile's identity, the silver-robed old man's expression became several degrees more solemn.

"If it is this fellow, it might be a bit troublesome. It was the mount of the Mingluo Holy Ancestor back then. My Holy Ancestor and the Mingluo Holy Ancestor had a great friendship back then. Although we have now left the Holy Realm, it is not easy for us to directly deal with this crocodile. But this fellow didn't submit to our management back then, and now that it has advanced to the Saint rank, I fear it will become even more unscrupulous. It is unfavorable for our management of the entire mountain range." The blood-robed person also frowned, saying somewhat depressedly.

"This is not difficult either. Since this demon crocodile has already advanced to the Saint rank, the Holy Ancestor cannot continue to ignore it. When the time comes, just let the Holy Ancestor give us clear instructions; we don't need to worry about anything." The green-robed man said confidently.

"That makes sense. The Holy Ancestor is about to wake up; we should indeed listen to his instructions." The silver-robed old man touched the beard on his chin, nodding in agreement.

"Mm, let's follow the two fellow Daoists' words." The blood-robed person thought for a moment and did not object.

"But I would very much like to hear, with the Holy Ancestor about to wake up, the two of you have one sending out a parasitic incarnation and the other sending his beloved daughter away from this place. I wonder what has happened outside, and what plans the two fellow Daoists have?" The silver-robed old man narrowed his eyes at this moment and asked suddenly.

Hearing the silver-robed old man ask this, the green-robed man and the blood-robed person were slightly startled, unable to help but look at each other.

But as the blood-robed person's eyes rolled, he immediately asked with a low laugh:

"Duoyan, why must you pretend not to know! Haven't your subordinates also mostly left their residences and are also active? Don't tell me you don't know about the Ginseng Immortal?"

The green-robed man, meanwhile, stood to the side with a gloomy expression, remaining silent.

"Ginseng Immortal, what Ginseng Immortal? I ordered my subordinates to move out just to catch the outsider who harmed my child's life, so I could take revenge." The silver-robed old man was stunned for a moment, feeling surprised.
