Volume Nine: The Hundred Clans of the Spirit Realm, Chapter 1654: Dharma Image and Broken Blade

With a "puchi" sound, the cyan flame touched the Demon Ape and actually ignited the light on its surface.

Instantly, the withered corpse was enveloped in a raging fire.

At this time, Han Li's Nascent Soul also sat cross-legged, pinching a bizarre magic technique with one hand, and closed its eyes.

As for the physical body below, it remained expressionless and motionless, as if in meditation.

Under the urging of the Nascent Soul's magic technique, the cyan infant fire burned for three days and three nights. Even with Han Li's current early Void Refinement stage, he felt somewhat unable to bear it by the last day, and the cyan fire he sprayed became a fraction smaller.

Fortunately, at the end of the third day, the secret technique was finally completed.

A burst sound came from the cyan infant fire, and a puff of black smoke dissipated from the flames. The Demon Ape corpse, which had seemed to remain unchanged, instantly vanished into ashes. Only a fist-sized, glittering object remained in the firelight.

The Nascent Soul opened its eyes, staring at the glittering object in the flames, a smile appearing on its face. At the same time, the infant fire in its mouth stopped abruptly.

With a flash of gold and cyan light, the Nascent Soul disappeared bizarrely.

The next moment, the motionless physical body below also opened its eyes and suddenly flicked a sleeve toward the air.

Instantly, a streak of light rolled past, and all the infant fire extinguished in response, thoroughly revealing the object inside.

It was shockingly a blood-red, crystal-like object.

Han Li narrowed his eyes, and a finger in his sleeve suddenly bent slightly.

A piercing sound rang out, and a gust of wind shot out, flashing once before striking the blood-red crystal.

With a crisp "peng" sound, the crystal shattered, and a stream of extremely viscous black-red liquid flowed out from within.

And the moment the liquid was exposed to the void, it suddenly rolled and condensed, transforming into a half-foot-tall black-red monkey.

As the monkey let out a cry, a wild aura that made even Han Li change color emerged from its body. Following this, with a flash of black-red light, the monkey disappeared into the distance.

But immediately, a muffled sound came from a wall on the side of the secret chamber, and a ball of black-red light slammed into it, but was bounced back by the power of the barrier.

The black-red light flashed and transformed back into the shape of a monkey, shooting toward another direction like a headless fly.

But at this time, Han Li, who had been prepared, flipped his hand, and a white light shone in his palm, revealing a slender-necked jade bottle.

He tossed it into the air, and the bottle spun, its mouth aiming at the air.

White light flickered within it.

With a "pfft" sound, a puff of white silk sprayed out from within. With just a single movement, it coiled around the black-red ape in mid-air, and with a pull back, it was easily retracted into the jade bottle.

Han Li let out a long breath, raised his arm, and beckoned toward the air.

The small bottle trembled and fell silently, being steadily caught by his palm.

Han Li released his divine sense to probe into the bottle. After a long while, a flash of excitement passed through his eyes.

"Good, very good. It really is the True Spirit blood of the Mountain-Moving Giant Ape. I didn't expect the newly extracted True Blood to be so pure. If refined, I imagine the giant ape after transformation will be even more powerful than the Kunpeng transformation," Han Li said to himself with joy. His other hand grabbed into the void, and two talismans, one gold and one silver, flashed out, sticking to the mouth of the bottle.

Afterwards, he carefully put the jade bottle away.

Although he had extracted the True Spirit blood, it was naturally impossible to absorb and refine it immediately.

After several days of burning the Demon Ape corpse with infant fire, his vitality and magic power had been depleted quite a bit, and he needed to recover his magic power first.

After taking some medicinal pills and taking two spirit stones from his storage bracelet, Han Li calmed his expression and entered meditation.

A day later, when he ended his meditation with a movement of his expression, his entire body's magic power had recovered to its original state.

Feeling the pure magic power surging and filling his body again, he smiled and flipped his palm, revealing a golden, half-foot-long broken blade.

It was precisely the broken blade obtained from the Demon Ape, suspected to be a Profound Heaven Treasure.

When he obtained this treasure that day, he was too hurried to examine it closely, and on the way back to Cloud City with Xian Xian, he would not have taken it out.

Now, Han Li stroked the uneven rune patterns on the surface of the broken blade with his fingers, revealing a look of contemplation.

He scanned it with his divine sense more than a dozen times, but just like the Profound Heaven Fruit, the moment it touched the surface, it was bounced back by a mysterious force. And this object currently had no spiritual energy at all, looking like nothing more than ordinary scrap metal.

Yet it was this inconspicuous broken blade that had unleashed heaven-shaking power that day. If the Profound Heaven Fruit hadn't been stimulated to transform back into the Profound Heaven Sword, he might have truly fallen under a single slash of this broken blade.

Recalling the heaven-shaking power of the broken blade's strike that day, a blue light flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he used the Clear Eye divine ability to investigate it carefully.

Sure enough, the spiritual eyes could see directly into the broken blade, but apart from countless rice-grain-sized golden runes, he could see nothing else.

Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly, not knowing if the interior of this broken blade was originally like this, or if it had become this way after being driven by his Dharma Image power.

However, after a turn of thought, he smiled again.

Regardless of what the broken blade's original appearance was, what did that have to do with him? He only needed to be able to use this treasure as one of his trump cards.

Although he had used his Dharma Image power to drive the Profound Heaven Fruit again that day without suffering the loss of magic power and severe depletion of essence blood, the Dharma Image power had been absorbed by nearly half, which was serious enough. Recovering it later would take quite some time.

Moreover, the Profound Heaven Fruit had now sealed itself into his arm and could not be summoned out on its own. Who knew if he could coincidentally stimulate it again the next time he encountered a great enemy.

He had never thought of entrusting his life to such an unreliable trump card. Even though this trump card had unfathomable power and had even saved his life twice.

Compared to the sword transformed from the Profound Heaven Fruit, the power of this broken blade might be far inferior, but precisely because of this, the consumption when using this treasure should be far lower than the Profound Heaven Fruit, and it was highly likely to be driven by him at will.

Thinking this in his heart, blue light flowed in Han Li's eyes, and he naturally intended to give it a try.

He tossed the golden broken blade into the air, then pinched a magic technique with both hands. Instantly, his entire body shone with golden light, and layers of golden scales emerged from his skin.

Afterwards, a zhang-tall golden Dharma Image emerged behind him, with three heads and six arms, shining with golden light.

At a glance, this Dharma Image seemed to be the same size as before, but upon closer inspection, one could see that the body was much blurrier than before, and even the golden light it emitted was slightly dim.

The moment the Brahma Saint True Demon Dharma Image appeared, one of its arms moved immediately, grabbing the golden broken blade from the air.

Han Li took a deep breath, but suddenly urged his magic technique in his heart.

The Dharma Image in the air shone with ten thousand streaks of golden light, emitting an extremely dazzling radiance, while countless golden light spots emerged in the surrounding void, instantly filling the entire secret chamber.

Seeing this anomaly, Han Li raised his eyebrows and suddenly let out a low shout.

The Dharma Image above immediately shook the golden broken blade it held.

A piercing screech rang out, and all the golden light on the Dharma Image flowed like water toward the blade. At the same time, the golden light spots in the void trembled and transformed into golden runes of various sizes.

These runes rotated slightly, then, as if summoned, shot toward the broken blade as golden light, finally vanishing into it.

The broken blade was submerged in golden light, and the screeching sound stopped abruptly.

And the size of the Dharma Image itself seemed to shrink by a circle at this moment.

But the next moment, the golden light covering the broken blade converged and disappeared.

The missing upper half of the blade had recovered as before, and three pale golden runes were rotating on its surface.

Han Li looked up at the golden blade in the air, clearly feeling the astonishing spiritual pressure emitted from it and the rapid loss of magic power in his body, but a look of joy could not help but appear on his face.

Sure enough, he could control this treasure with the Dharma Image. Although the Dharma Image power and spiritual power were still being absorbed, it was absolutely within his tolerable range.

Han Li narrowed his eyes and suddenly looked carefully at the three golden runes on the golden blade.

These three runes were similar to the runes on the sword transformed from the Profound Heaven Fruit; one look and it was clear they were the same type of script.

"Golden Seal Script, this object is indeed another Profound Heaven Treasure," Han Li whispered, not revealing too much surprise.

But suddenly sensing something, he turned his gaze back to the three-headed, six-armed Dharma Image.

He saw that the golden light on the Dharma Image, although not surging toward the golden blade as it had at the beginning, was still slowly being transmitted over.

Once this Profound Heaven broken treasure took shape, it would actually continuously absorb the source power of the Dharma Image.

Han Li was slightly surprised, but after frowning, he pointed a finger at the Dharma Image in the air.

Instantly, the Dharma Image's arm moved, and the golden blade was tossed out by its five fingers. Then, the two faces with clear features opened their mouths simultaneously.

A gust of golden wind was spat out, flashing once before rolling the golden blade into it.

Instantly, a loud boom rang out, and the upper half of the golden blade transformed into layers of golden light, rolled away by the wind, and flew back toward the Dharma Image.

After the three-headed, six-armed Dharma Image absorbed all the golden light, its body size swelled slightly, recovering to the size it had been when it was first released.

And the golden blade in the air also recovered its original broken appearance, falling straight down from the air.

Han Li beckoned toward the air with one hand.

With a flash of golden light, the broken blade disappeared into thin air.

With the terrifying power of this Profound Heaven broken treasure, it would become another of his trump cards in the future, so it naturally had to be carefully put away.

Having obtained two exotic treasures in a row, Han Li was naturally greatly satisfied.

However, his gains in the Demon Gold Mountain Range did not stop there.

After a moment of contemplation, Han Li shook his sleeve, and two other objects flew out, stopping right before his eyes.
