Chapter 1759

With a "Boom", the corpse, at the moment of falling, suddenly burst forth with a bloody radiance and then exploded.

Flesh and blood and the residual true power within the body turned into countless drops of blood rain, shooting out in all directions like a violent downpour.

The sound of breaking through the air echoed across most of the sky.

Amidst the blood rain, an extremely faint illusory figure flashed out, ghostly pouncing towards the small white bell not far away.

This was precisely the escape light formed by the young Nascent Soul.

He clearly understood that, having lost his physical body, relying solely on the Nascent Soul would hardly allow him to escape Han Li's clutches; instead, he intended to first attach the Nascent Soul to the silver 'colour' small bell, hoping to use the bell's profound power to save his 'life'.

Facing the blood arrows shooting towards him head-on, the giant ape neither dodged nor evaded; instead, a fierce 'colour' flashed across its face, its chest puffed out, and it let out a loud roar.

This roar was like heavenly thunder from the nine heavens; as soon as it left its mouth, the nearby sky began to hum, and the vast expanse of void ahead, after being swept by the sound waves, twisted and deformed, revealing countless white traces like spiderwebs appearing out of nowhere.

The giant ape, transformed from Han Li, with this roar, seemed to have shattered the void itself, indicating the immense power contained within.

Those blood rains instantly exploded into nothingness, and at the same time, that illusory figure, within the range affected by the roar's power, only managed to let out a miserable scream before likewise turning into flying ashes and vanishing.

But unexpectedly, at the exact moment the young Nascent Soul was destroyed, the snow-white small bell suddenly let out a loud hum, its light flashing, and it too self-destructed.

However, the self-destruction of this treasure showed no power at all; it merely turned into a cluster of white light that flickered a few times before strangely transforming into countless points of light and disappearing.

Seeing this, the giant ape's eyes flashed with blue light, but without the slightest hesitation, its body moved and it flashed into the void.

The next moment, the giant ape suddenly appeared above the six-legged lizard still entangled with the white 'colour' giant python.

Its two giant fists pounded down like a violent storm.

Poor that lizard, though it had mid-stage Void Refinement cultivation, under Han Li's attack as a giant ape, it offered almost no resistance and was smashed into a meat patty; even its demon core was forcibly ripped out in the end.

The demon soul that flew out from the flesh was swallowed whole by the white python, its soul and spirit completely scattered.

Upon seeing this last enemy also slain, the giant ape immediately had golden light flash across its body, and its size rapidly shrank.

Han Li instantly resumed his human form in mid-air, then turned his head, staring at the place where the snow-white small bell had disappeared, his thoughtful gaze flickering.

……

At the very moment the small bell self-destructed in the Guanghan Realm, in a mysterious palace somewhere in the Spirit Realm, the highest level of a pavilion surrounded by layer upon layer of restrictions suddenly let out a cry of alarm.

"How is this possible!"

The cry was filled with surprise and fury.

At the entrance to the pavilion, several golden-armored warriors stood rigidly, expressionless, as if they had not heard the sound coming from within the pavilion at all.

And in the upper levels of the pavilion, there were three horned beings of different appearances, gazing at a snow-white giant bell enshrined on a jade-green jade table, their expressions all turning solemn.

The one who cried out was a middle-aged beautiful 'woman' about thirty years old, with a pair of jade-green small horns on her head, but she covered her apricot mouth with one hand, her beautiful eyes showing an angry 'colour'.

The giant bell on the table was over a zhang in height; aside from size, its shape and colour were completely identical to that of the small bell driven by the golden-horned youth.

And on the ground beneath the jade table, five miniature magic arrays with flickering golden light were lined up side by side.

In four of these arrays, there was nothing at all; only the array closest to the giant bell had a cluster of white light hovering above it.

The white light and the bell's light flickered, as if they were responding to each other.

"A heavenly saint artifact has actually been destroyed, and even the true spirit of the divine bell, the main material of this saint artifact, has flown back on its own. It seems the disciple holding this heavenly saint artifact has undoubtedly perished in the Guanghan Realm." The beautiful 'woman' murmured.

"What's so strange about that? Who knows how many powerful clans have sent people into the Guanghan Realm; this little guy running into a few opponents with heaven-defying divine powers, or accidentally falling victim to the poisonous claws of native ferocious beasts in the realm, is also not impossible." Another, dressed in white robes, with a greenish patch between his eyebrows, stroked his beard and said, appearing indifferent.

"Shixin brother, that's not quite right. With a heavenly saint artifact like the 'Copying Heaven Bell' in hand, even if one encounters a saint-level existence, one should still have enough to preserve oneself. Moreover, we had strictly ordered beforehand that all teams must act in unison; I really can't think of what danger could cause the core disciple holding the heavenly saint artifact to perish despite so many escorts. And now it's been half a year; even if they were sent far away at first, they should have reached their destination by now and begun acting according to the plan." The last person was a blue-robed middle-aged man with a white face and no beard, who spoke with a light smile.

Upon hearing the middle-aged man say this, the old man's eyes flashed as he fell into silent thought.

"No matter how that disciple perished, the team losing the heavenly saint artifact also lost the chance to obtain that thing. This will greatly affect our clan's grand plan." The middle-aged beautiful 'woman' instead regained her composure and said coldly.

"It's fine; that thing was divided into five parts. As long as the other four teams succeed, when the Guanghan Realm opens again next time, it will still not affect our clan's plan." The middle-aged man said thus.

"But what if the other teams also run into trouble? Losing one part can still be barely remedied; losing another one or two parts would be a big problem!" The old man said after a period of pondering.

"How could there be such a coincidence? If it really happens like this, it only shows that the timing for our clan's great rise is not yet destined, and there's nothing to complain about." The middle-aged man replied with a smile.

"That said, however, we have used not a few of the clan's rare materials and even attracted the attention of the 'Copying Heaven' divine seed to refine these few heavenly saint artifacts, which is somewhat wasteful. Know that these saint artifacts were specially crafted as temporary 'nature' treasures for sealing those things. Although their power is not inferior to that of formal heavenly saint artifacts, after one year they will automatically disintegrate and disappear. If we gain nothing, I, who am responsible for leading this plan, will have a hard time explaining to the other old-timers." The old man furrowed his brows.

"What's there to explain? You two forgot that our original plan was one link in a chain, achieving two goals with one arrow? Even if the Guanghan Realm affair fails, our realm's plan will still most likely succeed." The beautiful 'woman' said with a flash of cold light in her eyes.

"That's not wrong. It's also time to end this battle with Tian Yun." Upon hearing the beautiful 'woman's words, the middle-aged man and the old man exchanged glances and both laughed.

The beautiful 'woman' said nothing more; she pointed a finger at the white 'colour' light cluster floating in the golden 'colour' array; instantly, that cluster of white light emitted a pleasant bell sound and lightly floated straight toward the giant bell, flashing into it.

The giant bell emitted a humming sound, and silver 'colour' runes appeared layer by layer on its surface.

……

Han Li naturally did not know that his killing of the golden-horned youth had unintentionally ruined a major plan of the horned people.

At this moment, his entire mind and spirit were immersed in the realization from just now, after transforming into a giant ape, of being able to kill a powerful enemy with a single punch.

Obviously, the power of the Awakening of Insects decision also increases with the cultivator's realm, and its power doubles as well. Unlike the previous transformation, after advancing to late-stage Void Refinement, his, this divine power's terrifying might truly manifested.

After transforming into a giant ape, the enhancement of his physical body and divine power almost gave him the urge to engage in a great battle with a Body Integration existence.

Fortunately, his state of mind, after undergoing the cleansing of time in that starry sky map illusionary realm, has finally become more stable than before. This is why he can still maintain balance of body and mind, without losing control of his state of mind.

However, compared to this, he also felt extremely regretful about the snow-white small bell's sudden and inexplicable disappearance.

This treasure, suspected to be a heavenly object, is truly miraculous; if he could obtain it, it would greatly increase his strength.

But since this treasure mysteriously disappeared, he could only helplessly abandon this thought, collect the youth's remaining treasures, and then depart as a blue streak piercing the sky.

After a short while, Han Li appeared in the high skies tens of thousands of li away.

In his escape light, Han Li began to carefully consider his plans below.

Although he had already assisted Liu Shui'er and the two of them in obtaining the things that Duan Tianren and Cai Liuying wanted, he had not yet acquired some of the refining materials he had initially promised to the Stone Cocoon Clan.

Although Duan Tianren had said that as long as he helped them take the treasures out of the restriction, this matter need not be worried about, he did not want to be obstructed by the Stone Cocoon Clan using this as an excuse to hinder his grand plan of using that super transmission array.

Therefore, after considering the location of the mineral deposit and the remaining time, he felt the time was still sufficient and still needed to make a trip to that mineral deposit.

However, before that, he must first recover the magic power he had previously consumed.

This Guanghan Realm is so dangerous that, even though his cultivation has greatly advanced, he dare not have the slightest careless heart.

After finishing his thoughts, Han Li immediately adjusted his direction and shot towards the distance.

After a short while, Han Li stopped his escape light above a seemingly ordinary small grove and revealed his figure.

He hovered in the air for a moment, his blue-eyed gaze sweeping around, and after determining there was no immediate danger, he immediately transformed into a streak of green light and plunged directly into the dense forest.

Han Li found a giant tree so large that several people could not encircle it, entered a hollow at its roots, then raised his hand and shot out several formation flags, which vanished at the cave entrance, forming a simple concealment array that concealed the hollow.

With a flick of his sleeve, a yellow light shot out from within, flashed once, and a furry little beast landed on the ground.

It was precisely the Leopard Kirin Beast!

This beast had, after swallowing several demon cores of the Three-Eyed Dark Beast, remained dormant in the spirit beast ring until just recently, when it seemed to have just awakened.

Although it had already refined those demon cores, its outward appearance showed little change, except for some additional black markings on its body and a slightly different aura, which gave Han Li a faint sense of danger.

This prompted him to study the beast more closely.
