Chapter 1954: Ice-Cold Nine Heavens

As his vision cleared, the cyan rainbow shot out from the void. As the light receded, Han Li's figure appeared, and he looked back.

He saw a giant tower several thousand zhang tall standing motionless behind him.

The hole he had emerged from was in the middle of the giant tower, and it was shrinking rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, the void there returned to normal.

This treasure didn't seem to have suffered much damage.

Han Li's face changed, but after taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but scan his surroundings.

As a result, his face was filled with extreme surprise.

He saw that in the nearby void, the sounds of battle still shook the sky, and the human and demon armies were still fighting desperately in front of the giant wall of Yitian City.

High in the sky, a giant beast with a sheep's head and bear's body was joining forces with the Azure Dragon Venerable to fight the black-armored man and a group of strange, blood-drenched demon soldiers in an inextricable battle.

Not to mention the Azure Dragon Venerable, who had already returned to human form, his face was exceptionally pale, and under the impact of the strange demon army, he could barely protect himself.

Those demons' attack methods were exceptionally simple; apart from spitting out beams of blood-colored light, they just waved the weapons in their hands desperately, releasing streams of blood light.

But the Azure Dragon Venerable and the giant beast seemed to fear these two attacks, not daring to let them hit their bodies, either using protective spiritual light or directly urging treasures to protect themselves.

And these strange demons seemed to have immortal bodies; no matter if they were torn apart by the strange wind released by the giant beast or crushed into pieces by a giant palm, they would recover as good as new with a flash of blood light and immediately launch even fiercer attacks.

The black-armored man hid far behind the demon army, and whenever the giant beast was about to break out of the encirclement, he would use his divine abilities to strike the beast with all his might, forcing it back to its original position.

Of course, this demon would also occasionally strike the Azure Dragon Venerable without ceremony, making him quite flustered.

The sheep-headed giant beast possessed terrifying magic power, and could drive a strange wind that made even late-stage Body Integration existences feel great fear. However, under the entanglement of the black-armored man and these demons, it felt helpless and couldn't break out of the encirclement for a time.

However, with the giant beast's heaven-defying divine abilities, it seemed equally impossible for the black-armored man and these demons to truly defeat or injure it.

The two sides were in a strange stalemate.

The battle on the other side, however, was quite different.

Lin Luan and the Silver Light Fairy had gathered together at some point, and their situation was extremely dire.

The two women released ten thousand zhang of silver light, and three-colored flames burned on their bodies. The two divine abilities were cleverly integrated, increasing their power by over a fold.

But their enemies, the white-robed youth and the petite woman, had also joined forces, and behind the petite woman appeared a giant green toad phantom. Every time it opened its mouth, it would spit out balls of green light mist.

No one knew what kind of mysterious power was contained in this light mist; when the silver light and flames came into contact with it, they would often vanish in a flash, perishing together.

If it weren't for the fact that the giant toad phantom had to pause every time it spat, their defenses would likely have been broken long ago.

But what made the two women suffer was the attack of the white-robed youth.

Apart from having over a dozen more crystal-clear flying knives, this demon didn't use any other cultivation techniques. But this seemingly simple attack contained a strange cold power far superior to the beginning. Every time the flying knives slashed down, it made the Silver Light Fairy and her companion suffer, forcing them to spend immense magic power to resolve it.

As a result, in this situation, the two women's magic power was being consumed faster than anyone could imagine. If it weren't for the rare magic-restoring spiritual medicines they carried, they would have likely been defeated and killed long ago.

Even so, as their spiritual medicines were consumed in large quantities, their situation became increasingly critical!

Outside their defensive range, a layer of white, hazy cold air even began to form, enveloping the void of several mu in size.

Han Li's mouth twitched, and he felt greatly surprised!

Looking at the situation, although it wasn't the moment he was sucked into the giant tower, it hadn't been too long since then.

And he had clearly spent nearly half a day in the giant tower.

Could it be that the giant tower could manipulate the passage of time, making the speed inside different from the outside?

But if that were the case, the origin of this tower-shaped treasure was highly questionable.

After all, apart from some legendary Mysterious Heavenly Treasures, he had never heard of any treasure that could manipulate or change time.

Han Li was horrified, but his mind was exceptionally clear. After scanning the giant tower in front of him again, he discovered that someone seemed to be missing from the battlefield.

The other silver-threaded robe man who had joined forces to deal with him just now had unexpectedly not appeared near the giant tower.

His spiritual sense immediately swept toward the vicinity, but apart from some residual barrier fluctuations, he was unexpectedly unable to find the existence of that Demon Race Venerable at all.

This made Han Li feel a jolt, and when he recalled the words he had heard transmitted from afar in the tower,

he felt a chill down his back, and a strange feeling that a great disaster was imminent faintly arose.

"I can't stay here any longer; I must leave this area immediately!" Han Li's gaze sank, and this thought arose subconsciously. But when he looked at the situation where the human side was at a great disadvantage, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Forget it, it won't be too late to leave after helping them finish off the two Demon Venerables first. If I go all out, it shouldn't take too long," Han Li muttered to himself!

This wasn't because he really wanted to do something to turn the tide, but because if he fled without a fight in this situation, he wouldn't be able to stand in the human race in the future.

Of course, most importantly, even if the previous transmission was truly the main body of the Blood Light Saint Ancestor, he found it hard to believe that the other party could do anything to threaten him other than descending with his main body.

And for a Demon Saint Ancestor, descending with his main body at the beginning of the Demon Tribulation was almost impossible.

As far as he knew, never in previous Demon Tribulations had such an existence descended to the Spirit Realm at the very beginning.

Therefore, even though Han Li had a premonition, after pondering calmly, he decided to help the cultivators of Yitian City first.

As for the giant tower, although Han Li was extremely enthusiastic about it, this treasure was clearly like the purple tripod, an object borrowed by the Blood Light Saint Ancestor for his subordinates to refine.

With the terrifying spiritual sense of a Mahayana cultivator, he was likely unable to erase the marks left inside, unable to forcibly occupy it, and could only stare blankly.

Perhaps that was why the Blood Light Saint Ancestor was so confident in lending such treasures to his male and female subordinates!

Having made his decision, Han Li moved, suddenly transforming into a beam of cyan light and rushing out.

Naturally, he would not go to help the Green Dragon Ascendant and that giant beast; instead, he immediately locked his gaze onto the two Demon Race Venerables, the white-robed youth and the one called Little Miss.

The Silver Light Fairy and Lin Luan in the distance naturally saw Han Li escape from afar, and seeing him come to help, they were overjoyed.

When Lin Luan saw Han Li appear near the two women, shaking his sleeves, countless cyan sword lotuses danced in the sky, and a silver ruler shadow flickered, transforming into a silver ribbon to sweep toward the petite woman, she couldn't help but feel refreshed and shouted loudly:

"Fellow Daoist Han, it's great that you're safe. Please help me resist these two demons first, so I can free up my hands to urge this beast to kill the other demon and those mutated demons first."

After saying this, the woman made the three-colored flames on her body vanish, and with her hands forming seals rapidly, the blood rune between her brows appeared again, and she focused entirely on urging it, ignoring defense.

Seeing this, Han Li frowned slightly, but with a wave of one hand, with a thunderous rumble, a pitch-black mountain peak transformed into over a hundred zhang in size and fell, just in time to block the several crystal-clear blade lights the white-robed youth was slashing at the two women.

After a flash of white light, a layer of crystal-clear ice appeared on the Extreme Magnetic Mountain, and it was instantly frozen for half its body.

The opponent's strange cold power was several times stronger than when he first saw it, actually freezing even the Extreme Magnetic Mountain.

And when the white-robed youth saw Han Li intervene, instead of fearing, his eyes lit up, and the dozens of crystal-clear flying knives were urged until they were crystal-clear and blinding. In a flash, they transformed into white, hazy cold light and rolled over.

Han Li felt a jolt, and as he formed a sword seal, all the cyan sword lotuses spun, vanishing into the void. The next moment, hundreds of cyan light beams sprayed out from the void simultaneously.

As the sword light crisscrossed and flickered, a giant cyan sword formation faintly appeared, actually protecting Han Li and the two women inside.

Han Li didn't dare to underestimate the opponent, and with the intention of ending the battle quickly, he instantly deployed another trump card, the Green Pan Dragon Sword Formation he hadn't fully mastered yet.

Although the strange cold power from the blade lights was terrifying, when it came into contact with the sword formation, it vanished like a stone into the sea.

"Hehe, interesting! But if you think a mere sword formation can block my attack, you're underestimating me!" Seeing this, the white-robed youth didn't get angry, but spoke for the first time, his voice exceptionally cold and containing a hint of sarcasm.

Then, the demon paused, formed a hand seal with one hand, and the dozens of crystal-clear flying knives suddenly gathered in the middle, merging into one, transforming into a giant blade fifty or sixty zhang long, and slashed down at the sword formation silently.

Before it even truly fell, a layer of white, hazy halo descended from the sky, and as the nearby void congealed, crisp, strange cries rang out, as if they had truly been frozen by the strange cold power emitted by the halo.

Even though the sword light in the Green Pan Sword Formation was exceptionally sharp, under the invasion of this strange cold, it couldn't help but pause, and the entire sword formation became exceptionally slow.
