Chapter 1975

The Black Rain Master and the monk naturally would not let this spiritual object escape so easily!

The old man immediately urged his treasure with a sudden force, and the giant bell shook, causing a sheet of silver sound waves to roll down with a menacing momentum.

The monk flipped his palm, and a flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, revealing a pure white, jade-like formation disk. After he tapped it rapidly with his fingers, a series of rumbles erupted near the giant pit, and countless light formations emerged. At the same time, waves of restrictive fluctuations surged out like a dense tide, instantly interweaving into a large net that blocked the spiritual object's path of retreat.

Not only that, but above these restrictions, the sound of a phoenix cry echoed. Three clusters of crimson flames flashed, and three crimson fire birds emerged. Without hesitation, they opened their mouths toward the sky, and three crimson fire pillars rolled out, instantly turning into a sea of fire that shrouded the Stone Spirit.

As for the side of the spiritual object, that crystalline, emerald-blue flying scorpion also appeared eerily. As its blue hooked tail moved, a beam of emerald-blue poisonous light shot out silently.

In the blink of an eye, this Huangliang Stone Spirit had once again fallen into a dangerous predicament!

But this seemed to have thoroughly enraged the spiritual object. As the golden light on its body flowed, it suddenly let out a strange cry. Following this, the third blood-red eye on its forehead opened wide, and a mass of white light, like a scorching sun, surged out—so blindingly dazzling that one could not look directly at it!

The Black Rain Master and the monk, who were in the middle of casting spells to attack the Stone Spirit, could not help but subconsciously close their eyes when faced with this scene. But after they opened them again, their expressions changed drastically.

The Black Rain Master discovered that he was in a sea of yellow, hazy flames. Above, below, left, right, in the sky, and on the ground, there were rolling flames. Although these flames appeared to be burning fiercely, they gave the old man an eerie, bone-chilling sensation.

"Yellow Springs Earth Fire! No, this is an illusion!"

The Black Rain Master's expression changed, and he couldn't help but cry out. However, he was not an ordinary person, and he reacted immediately the next moment, though his expression did not look any better.

Although he had heard people say before setting out that the Huangliang Stone Spirit's innate illusionary techniques were astonishing and could trap even Body Integration stage existences, he never imagined it would be so overbearing that it could make him fall into it without the slightest warning.

And what it had conjured was this most troublesome Yellow Springs Earth Fire!

This spiritual object had lived in the Earth Fire for who knows how many tens of thousands of years; naturally, its ability to conjure illusions had reached a state of perfection. Trying to break free by finding flaws in the illusion was definitely not an easy task. It seemed that to escape this illusion in time, the only way was to use brute force to break it.

The old man thought to himself with a gloomy expression while rapidly releasing several small black shields to protect his entire body.

On the other side, after the monk opened his eyes, he saw himself in a gray, hazy space. The Black Rain Master and the other spirit beasts were nowhere to be seen; only a colossal creature a thousand feet tall floated several hundred feet in front of him.

The giant creature was also shimmering with golden light and resembled a toad, but from its head to its back, there was a row of seven golden eyes, staring at the monk with an emotionless gaze. The aura emanating from its massive body was extremely terrifying, giving one a feeling of almost suffocating.

"Seven-Eyed Golden Toad."

The monk muttered, his expression changing drastically. But after chanting a Buddhist name, a look of determination appeared on his face again. He grabbed into the void with both hands, and with a flash of spiritual light, a golden dragon-headed Zen staff and a silver alms bowl suddenly appeared.

Not only were the old man and the monk standing silently in the void, but even the three fire birds let out a clear cry, stopped their flames, and flapped their wings frantically in place with looks of panic in their eyes, appearing to have also fallen into the illusion.

Only that emerald-blue crystal scorpion, not knowing what kind of spirit insect it was, remained completely unaffected after the Stone Spirit's third eye swept white light over it, and the poisonous hook on its back continued to shoot out blue beams frantically.

But having lost the assistance of the others, after the Huangliang Stone Spirit dealt with the previous round of fierce attacks by spitting demon fire, it naturally dodged these blue beams one by one with ease. After glaring fiercely at the scorpion, it suddenly turned into a mass of golden light and crashed headlong into the restrictions below.

This spiritual object was not lacking in intelligence; it knew that now was not the time to tangle with these people, and that escaping back into the ground was the safest course of action.

But before it could crash into those restrictions in one breath, it suddenly opened its mouth, and a series of yellow light orbs the size of heads were spat out.

These light orbs flashed and vanished, striking fiercely at a certain restriction.

A series of cracking sounds rang out, and clusters of blinding yellow light exploded. That restriction shook, showing signs of collapsing.

The Stone Spirit was overjoyed at this. It opened its mouth again, and another string of more than ten light orbs were spat out, intending to thoroughly shatter the restriction.

But just at this moment, a figure suddenly flashed above the restriction, and a mass of green, hazy light appeared silently. With a shake, it instantly transformed into a young man wearing a green robe.

The young man looked up and chuckled at the Huangliang Stone Spirit, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Following this, he shook his sleeve, and a silver ruler shot out from it. With a blur, it instantly transformed into dense, countless ruler shadows, striking upward and splitting all the light orbs into nothingness.

This person was naturally Han Li, who had been hiding all along.

The illusionary technique released by the Huangliang Stone Spirit just now had focused its targets mostly on the Black Rain Master and the monk. Therefore, although Han Li had been slightly affected from afar, he had easily broken free from the illusion by relying on his powerful spiritual sense, and with a single teleportation, he had easily appeared above the restriction.

Seeing that the Stone Spirit was about to break the restriction and return underground, only to be blocked by a newly appeared enemy, one could imagine the anger in its heart.

With a "Puchi" sound!

Rolling yellow flames suddenly erupted from the spiritual object's body, and with a surge, they rolled toward Han Li with menacing momentum.

These flames were precisely the Yin-Cold Demon Fire it had condensed after practicing underground for tens of thousands of years.

"Well come!"

Seeing these flames coming, Han Li was not surprised but instead laughed. He flipped one hand, and a small black mountain appeared.

He slapped the mountain with his hand, and it shook, transforming into a giant over ten feet tall!

As Han Li urged his magic power, a row of silver runes appeared on the mountain peak, and a large sheet of gray, hazy light rolled out, spinning and forming a gray vortex that expanded and contracted in the void.

After the yellow demon flames rolled down, the moment they touched the gray vortex, they emitted a thunderous roar and then flashed one after another into the vortex.

The gray vortex, apart from expanding slightly, appeared completely unaffected.

Seeing this scene, the Huangliang Stone Spirit's eyes flashed with strange light, and it let out a sharp cry.

With a "Boom" sound.

A heaven-shaking roar suddenly erupted from the gray vortex. As the vortex shook violently, it shattered inch by inch. Following this, the yellow demon flames inside emerged and instantly transformed into a yellow fire toad, which leaped toward Han Li with its hind legs.

Before it even truly reached him, waves of extreme cold power rolled over, giving one an eerie feeling that even the soul could be frozen through.

Seeing this situation, Han Li frowned slightly.

This demon fire was indeed somewhat tricky, but he was naturally not truly afraid of anything. He immediately raised his eyebrows, and a large hand suddenly grabbed into the void toward the fire toad.

A muffled sound!

Five-colored light rolled in the void, and a white hand covered in five-colored cold flames appeared eerily, grabbing fiercely at the fire toad below.

Its movement was as fast as lightning!

The fire toad did not know if it couldn't dodge or simply had no intention of dodging, but it was caught by the five fingers of the large hand. Then, as the five-colored cold flames surged, the five fingers squeezed with force simultaneously.

With a "Chila" sound!

Wrapped in the five-colored cold flames, the fire toad instantly exploded, re-transforming into rolling flames that wrapped back around the large hand.

But the five-colored cold flames were also a type of extreme cold fire; how could they let the demon flames succeed so easily? Immediately, the five-colored light surged, unceremoniously holding back the yellow demon flames.

And in this brief moment, Han Li had already tapped the black mountain peak in front of him with his finger.

Immediately, the mountain shook and flashed into the void, disappearing without a trace.

The next moment, fluctuations arose above the Huangliang Stone Spirit, and the black mountain peak appeared eerily with a blur, pressing down unceremoniously while the gray, hazy light rolled down once more.

The Stone Spirit only felt its body sink, and an invisible giant force acted upon it before the mountain peak, making its body become incomparably sluggish.

The Huangliang Stone Spirit naturally became extremely shocked and angry. After struggling a few times and seeing it had no effect, it immediately opened its mouth toward the sky without hesitation, spitting out a yellow, hazy round bead.

This bead was only the size of a thumb, purely milky yellow, and appeared unremarkable, but it was the demon core that this spiritual object had begun to gestate from the day it was born.

This demon core just spun happily above the Stone Spirit's head, and the invisible giant force was forcibly repelled. At the same time, with a "Puchi" sound, countless yellow fire snakes surged out from the demon core, growing several feet long as they shook in the wind, and then baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, they lunged upward together.

As a result, as the yellow fire and gray light interwove, they forcibly blocked the black mountain peak high above, unable to fall even a fraction.

But just at this moment, Han Li, who had been below, flashed cold light in his eyes. With a single-handed incantation, a thunderclap sounded behind him, and a pair of crystalline wings appeared. Then, with a forceful flap, he turned into a silver arc and disappeared without a trace.

At this time, the Stone Spirit in the air had just moved its body to dodge a blue beam attack from the emerald-blue scorpion, and its eyes showed a ferocious look, seemingly wanting to launch some counterattacks. But in the void behind it, lightning flashed, and Han Li appeared, wrapped in lightning.

The Huangliang Stone Spirit was startled. Without hesitation, its third demon eye lit up, intending to emit blinding white light once again.

Han Li seemed to have been prepared for this. Suddenly, a cold snort escaped his lips. At the same time, he closed his eyes, and black light flashed between his brows as he opened his Destruction Law Eye.

Black light flashed!

A black line shot out from the Law Eye, flashing and vanishing, striking exactly the spiritual object's third demon eye, causing the white light that had just lit up to flash and shatter.

And the moment the cold snort entered the Stone Spirit's ears, it felt a thunderclap in its head. A severe pain deep into its soul made its body tremble, and it couldn't help but sway unsteadily in the void.
