Chapter 1780: Leaving Thunder Roar

Suddenly, black qi surged over Han Li's body, and a piece of dark battle armor emerged.

Countless black 'color' runes gushed out from the armor.

The seemingly strange blood light collided with the black qi, but with a 'bang', it was bounced away under the flashing of the runes.

The blood shadow tumbled out in disarray, revealing its true form.

Han Li's eyes flashed with blue light, and he finally saw the blood shadow's appearance clearly.

Even though he had experienced countless storms, his 'color' couldn't help but change.

At first glance, the blood shadow's face was indeed a ferocious ghost face with exposed fangs, but after a slight flicker, the ghost face instantly transformed into Xiang Zhili's face, and after another blur, it became another man's face.

This man was also recognized by Han Li—it was none other than Hu Lao Mo, who had entered the spatial node together with Xiang Zhili at the beginning.

The blood shadow's face rapidly shifted among these three faces, flowing like water and impossible to fix.

"Heavenly Demon Armor? Impossible—how could you possibly have armor that only Heavenly Demons can possess!"

The blood shadow swayed a few times, finally stabilizing its form not far away, and from its mouth came words of extreme shock and anger.

The voice somewhat resembled Xiang Zhili's, but it also gave Han Li a strange sense of unfamiliarity.

Han Li snorted coldly through his nose, and his skin instantly turned radiant with golden light, like pure gold, while simultaneously, pieces of golden 'color' scale armor emerged.

"You think just by wearing the Heavenly Demon Armor, I can't do anything to you!" Seeing this, the blood shadow's face kept shifting several times, then let out a strange cry, and its body began to spin rapidly.

In an instant, a blood 'color' hurricane shot up from the blood shadow, soaring over ten zhang high.

Thunderous roars erupted within the hurricane, and blood 'color' electric arcs flashed wildly, creating an astonishing momentum.

Afterwards, the blood shadow uttered several strange incantations; the hurricane flickered and then rapidly shrank. After a moment, it turned into a blood 'color' rune the size of a head, hovering lightly before the blood shadow.

Han Li slightly sensed the violent fluctuations emanating from the rune, and his 'color' tightened.

A thunderclap!

The blood 'color' rune spun rapidly, transforming into a blood-red electric arc that shot straight out.

With a 'boom'!

When the electric arc came into contact with the black 'color' runes, light flashed wildly several times, actually shattering the black 'color' runes and striking solidly onto the black 'color' demon armor.

After a dull thud, the blood 'color' electric arc vanished into thin air, leaving only a thin, palm-sized hole appearing out of nowhere on the black armor.

The blood shadow's ferocious 'color' reappeared; after a strange laugh, it transformed again into a blood rainbow and shot 'out' rapidly.

So fast that in a flash, it arrived before Han Li, rushing straight toward the gap in his armor.

But just then, a disturbance arose in the nearby void, and a golden 'color' large hand appeared out of nowhere at the gap, its five fingers spreading to seize the blood rainbow lightning-fast as it came flying in.

The blood light dispersed, and the blood shadow reappeared within the golden hand, its face full of fearful 'color', but suddenly opening its mouth, it spat a stream of blood flame straight toward Han Li's face.

This move was truly vicious!

Han Li currently couldn't move an inch, and given the close distance, by all logic he should have no chance of dodging.

But Han Li's mouth twitched, revealing a faint cold smile.

Black light flashed between his brows, and a dark vertical eye suddenly opened wide; black light flashed, and a stream of dark light shot out like thunder—too fast to cover one's ears—accurately striking the blood flame.

With a 'puff', the nearby space twisted slightly; the two intertwined briefly, then vanished into the nearby void, leaving no trace.

The blood shadow was startled, blood light flaring across its body as it tried to unleash another divine ability—but then it had no chance left.

The golden 'color' large hand suddenly had silver 'color' flames appear on its five fingers; with just a roll, it engulfed the blood shadow within.

A piercing, tragic scream suddenly erupted from the silver flames; the blood shadow struggled desperately, its body becoming boneless—suddenly elongating, then thickening, constantly shifting unpredictably.

But no matter how it changed, the golden 'color' large hand clung to it like a bone-attached maggot, preventing it from escaping control by even a fraction.

After a few breaths, the tragic scream abruptly ceased!

The blood shadow thus vanished into nothingness within the flames.

Speaking of which, this blood shadow was rather unfortunate.

Originally, with its formless body, ordinary treasures and divine abilities could neither restrain nor harm it. But coincidentally, that golden 'color' large hand was formed from the Fan Sheng Golden Body, and due to Han Li's greatly advanced cultivation and multiple temperings, it possessed incredible power, capable of drawing in and capturing the blood shadow's intangible body from empty space.

As for the Spirit-Devouring True Flame, it originally excelled at devouring heavenly and earthly energy, and after swallowing several other flames, it gained remarkable restraining effects against demonic objects and evil qi.

This is what allowed this blood shadow, which originally had some background, to be so easily refined into ash.

Han Li witnessed all this, his expression relaxed slightly, and the Destruction Law Eye between his brows slowly closed and disappeared.

Following this, he murmured words in his mouth, golden light flowed across his body, he opened his mouth, and actually spat out a light ball the size of a fist.

The light ball's exterior was wrapped in a layer of golden light, while inside was intertwined a mass of grayish-white 'color' light threads.

Indeed, the foreign object that had just entered his body was forcibly gathered by him using his true essence power *** and expelled outward.

This was also due to his current advanced cultivation—the Fan Sheng True Demon Technique had already neared completion; otherwise, he couldn't have accomplished this.

And once the grayish-white light ball was spat out, his body naturally returned to normal.

Han Li said nothing, pointed a finger at the silver 'color' flames.

Instantly, the Spirit-Devouring True Flame 'teng'ed upward from the golden 'color' large hand, wrapping the light ball inside.

The golden 'color' large hand then flashed with light and vanished into thin air.

The gray light ball flickered a few times within the silver flames, then turned into nothingness.

At this moment, Han Li turned his gaze, sweeping over the bloody, mangled remains on the ground several zhang away, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Although he still hadn't figured out what calamity Xiang Zhili had encountered, or why this evil thing resided in his body, his physical body was undoubtedly Xiang Zhili's.

Moreover, from the strange changes in the blood shadow's face, it seemed as if it had devoured and merged the primordial spirits of Xiang Zhili and Hu Lao Mo into one.

If not for the fact that, when he first met Xiang Zhili in Yun City, the yet-unasleep Witch's Soul had suddenly become somewhat restless, making him wary, he might truly have failed to notice the abnormality in "Xiang Zhili".

Originally, even if this "Xiang Zhili" truly had problems, as long as he didn't provoke him, Han Li wouldn't bother dealing with him.

But this "Xiang Zhili" had, in both of their encounters, shown a posture of tolerating disaster.

Han Li naturally also developed killing intent—this was why he came on time for the appointment.

However, because he lacked absolute certainty that "Xiang Zhili" truly had problems, he first waited for the other party to provoke him.

With Han Li now alert, having made great progress in cultivation in the Guanghan Realm, he naturally had the confidence to avoid being ambushed by the blood shadow.

In fact, even without using the Golden Body or the True Devilish Flame, he had several other means to dispel the recent danger and easily destroy this evil entity.

After all, the physical cultivation of Xiang Zhili, who was possessed, differed too greatly from Han Li's.

This allowed the blood shadow, even after self-destructing Xiang Zhili's physical body and absorbing most of his essence blood, to unleash little of its supernatural power.

Han Li stood silently in place, his emotions churning uncontrollably.

That Xiang Zhili, a human existence standing at the pinnacle of the human realm, had actually come to such an end—it truly made *** feel a sigh.

I do not know whether he and Hehuan Lao Mo were truly killed in the spatial node, or whether they encountered the blood shadow possessing a physical body only after entering the Spirit Realm.

If it is the latter, it naturally makes people sigh even more.

Han Li sighed, then flicked his sleeve robe lightly against the ground.

Instantly, a stream of crimson fire surged outward; where the flames swept, flesh and blood remnants naturally turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished.

As for that so-called "Giant Spirit Talisman," it too turned into flying ash and scattered at the same time the blood shadow was destroyed.

Originally, Han Li had seen those grayish-white light threads as so formidable that he wanted to study them a bit, but now he could only let it go.

Afterward, he did not linger in this place, instead making several grasping motions toward the void around the mountain peaks.

Instantly, an imperceptible fluctuation arose in the air around the mountain peaks, and more than a dozen beams of light of various colors shot out, flashing one after another into his sleeves, leaving no trace.

These were precisely the dozen or so formation flags he had released earlier!

The simple formation just formed by these flags was merely a basic array compared to spiritual energy fluctuations.

The moment "Xiang Zhili" arrived at the mountain peak, he had secretly triggered this formation, concealing the aura of the recent battle; otherwise, even though this place was over a hundred li from Fu Jiao City, for some beings in the city, it would still have been completely visible.

Now, with this formation providing slight concealment, even if it could not completely erase the traces of combat, high-level beings could not possibly sense it too clearly.

Escaping light surged forth as Han Li transformed into a streak of green rainbow, soaring into the sky; after circling once above the mountain peak, he broke through the void and fled toward Fu Jiao City.

Not long after, a patrol of armored warriors flew in from another direction, but after searching around the mountain peak and finding little, they could only depart in frustration.

Upon returning to Fu Jiao City, Han Li immediately retreated to his residence and no longer ventured out easily.

Over the remaining ten or so days, Qianjizi and the other two sent people to finally deliver the missing materials to Han Li in succession, truly appearing to honor their promise.

Han Li naturally accepted them without hesitation.

One month later, Han Li finally left his residence and headed straight for the highest mountain peak in Fu Jiao City.

It is said that within this mountain peak, the main structures of Fu Jiao City are cultivated and some secrets unknown to outsiders are hidden.

Half a day later, the entire mountain peak suddenly trembled, and a massive pillar of light erupted from a certain location within its core, shooting straight into the clouds beyond the nine heavens.

But after a few flashes, the massive pillar of light vanished instantly.

Although this situation caused some commotion among nearby foreign beings, who curiously discussed it for a few days,

as time passed, everyone set the matter aside and continued busily with their own affairs.

At the same time, in a certain hidden place on another continent unknown how far from the Thunder Continent, a similar pillar of light shot into the sky, followed by a human figure appearing at the center of a massive formation after the light converged.

(The "Spirit Realm Hundred Races" volume is finally finished, hehe, the length turned out to be somewhat beyond our expectation. No way, to highlight the numerous races of the Spirit Realm, we had to spend some extra words. The next volume begins the high-tide portion of entering the Spirit Realm, "The War of the Demon Realm." We will write it with care and hope everyone likes it and gives lots of support!)
